Chapter 176: Cha Zi 1
After Li Ji returned to his residence, he secretly scolded himself countless times. How could he say such things? What was he thinking? If Yuxu went to inform him, wouldn't all his work be in vain?
Even your own life must be at stake here, no matter whether you are a righteous spy or not.
Even though he looked generous and carefree when he was walking, in fact, from the speed and posture of Li Ji's walking, you could tell that he was panicking to death.
Not long after I came back, I really felt uneasy. I thought about trying to test Yuxu's tone again, but it really didn't work. I just let her say whatever she said.
Li Ji ran back even faster, almost running wildly. When he returned to the place where he usually practiced, Yuxu was still there in a daze, and Li Ji hurried over.
Before he could speak, Yuxu bloomed like a lily, showing a sweet smile. He looked at Li Ji and took the initiative to say: "Li Yan, you don't have to worry. I've figured it out and won't tell Master."
Li Ji squinted his eyes, something didn't look right. When did she smile so beautifully? Usually her smile was not always curved, with a knife hidden in it, but this time it was clearly visible.
Nothing!
Li Ji stretched his neck forward and asked with some confusion: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?"
Yuxu smiled faintly and said angrily: "Idiot!"
Li Ji took a deep swallow, feeling even more uneasy. He tilted his head, glanced at Yuxu, and said with a guilty conscience: "Senior sister, just tell me what you want to do. As long as you are a junior brother, I can do it, and I am obligated to do it."
"Are you so afraid that I will tell Master?" Yuxu couldn't help but asked with a smile.
At that moment, Li Ji was stunned for a moment. Even if thousands of flowers bloomed at the same time, they couldn't compare to this smile, which made people want to protect it. It was just too short, just for a moment, Yuxu lost his smile, and
He looked at Li Ji seriously, waiting for his answer.
Li Ji sighed, not sure whether it was because of Yu Xu's answer or because she suppressed her smile.
"Say it."
Yuxu urged in a voice, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if there was something on his mind.
"Maybe. After all, as disciples of Wanhualou, we say such treacherous words. Even if what I say is right, so what? Others won't think so. So, senior sister, you just treat me as
What I just said was all fart, okay?"
When Li Ji said this, he was very helpless. This was like a fatal handle, just in the hands of others, and he couldn't take back any initiative.
Yuxu smiled, like a flower branch, unable to straighten up.
Li Ji just looked at her helplessly, not knowing what was so funny.
Then Li Ji suddenly felt something. Fairy Shuiyue was back. His body trembled slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Sure enough, Fairy Shuiyue came over with a smile on her face and said, "Yuxu, why are you so happy?"
Her tone was very calm, and there was a hint of curiosity in it, but when she heard Yu Xu's ears, it was like thunder exploding in her ears, and her smile suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise on her face.
Although Fairy Shuiyue was dusty, as if she had traveled a lot, and her face was a little tired, even asking Yu Xu this question was probably just a casual question. After all, she also knew something about what happened between Yu Xu and Li Ji.
Li Ji's mind was spinning and he hurriedly said: "Master,
I told a few jokes to my senior sister, but neither my master nor the others came today. I am tired from practicing, so I need to take a rest."
Fairy Shuiyue glanced at Li Ji, and then took a deep look at Yuxu. The guilty Fairy Yuxu looked at this and buried her head deeply, all the way down to her chest.
Suddenly, Fairy Shuiyue laughed, shook her head, looked at Yuxu with a deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, my teacher is not a stubborn person, the matter between you two,
Just take care of it by yourself. I’m tired as a teacher, so I have to go back and rest.”
"Congratulations, Master!"
"Master, walk slowly!"
Yuxu shouted so respectfully, but Li Ji was a little more peaceful. This had a lot to do with the education he received in the Sword Sect. Those disrespectful guys were simply shameless.
Naturally, he was no longer so respectful, and this attitude was also reflected in his address to Fairy Shuiyue and others.
As soon as these words came out, Fairy Shuiyue didn't say anything. When she looked back, she saw Yu Xu giving Li Ji a fierce look, and she didn't know why.
She turned around and couldn't help but smile. It turned out that they were happy enemies.
After Fairy Shuiyue walked away, Yuxu couldn't help but teach Li Ji again.
"Li Yan, you have to remember that you must use honorifics when treating your master's elders. What are you talking about? You have no respect for elders and juniors and just do whatever you want. Sooner or later, something will happen."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes."
But as soon as the words came out, Fairy Yuxu's face became even more grim. She couldn't help scolding: "Li Yan, answer once is enough. Your attitude is obviously perfunctory."
"Um...yes..." Li Ji just finished speaking, but he stopped and only said one word.
Yuxu nodded with satisfaction and began her long speech again.
Li Ji's head was spinning after hearing this, but the key was that he didn't dare to run away. At this time, he no longer thought Yuxu was cute or beautiful at all, he just thought she was a nagging old woman, so she had better shut up.
Seeing Yu Xu's look, Li Ji had to keep following him, with an obvious look of impatience on his face.
Yuxu didn't notice this at all, and still kept talking to Li Ji about things that needed to be paid attention to, ranging from eating and drinking to big things like good and evil versus enemies. Anyway, it was all she could think of. Basically, she said a
all over.
In the past, Li Ji had not realized that Yu Xu was such an old-fashioned person. It was not until he had more contact with Yu Xu that he would often be lectured by Yu Xu for a long time because of trivial matters. Li Ji gradually began to
Got it.
To be honest, when Li Ji looked at Yu Xu like this, he kept wondering how Fairy Shui Yue taught him to teach such an old-fashioned disciple.
In Li Ji's words, such a beautiful face was lost for nothing.
And Li Ji noticed something. Just when Yuxu motioned for him to follow her, she was standing there waiting for Li Ji. She only started to take steps after Li Ji took half a step over her. Li Ji knew clearly
, this is a strict etiquette for everyone.
After this calculation, she was exactly half a stature behind Li Ji, no more and no less. This was true no matter how far or how long she walked.
Although she showed great dissatisfaction, when she was alone with her this time, she actually strictly followed the system of husband for wife, acting and speaking like a strict wife admonishing her husband who had gone astray.
Li Ji secretly reminded Yuxu, but she turned a deaf ear to it. She just hoped that Li Ji could be a useful person to Wanhua Tower, so that she could save her a lot of trouble in the future.
Li Ji frowned. This was beyond his imagination. He stopped, turned his head and looked at Yu Xu, and asked in surprise:
"Senior sister, what happened to you?"
Yuxu didn't answer, she just smiled sweetly, which was absolutely impossible in the past.
Li Ji was dumbfounded. Did Yuxu take the wrong medicine? Why did she change so much all of a sudden? Could it be that what he said just now stimulated her? Li Ji couldn't help but think so.
Yuxu looked like a good wife and mother, and said gently: "Li Yan, after today, I will be a good wife of the Li family, a well-behaved and virtuous wife, who will support her husband and raise her children..."
"But......"
"Li Yan, I, Yuxu, have lived for so many years and I have never done anything really crazy. Please accompany me, okay?"
Yuxu was stunned for a moment, chuckled, and shook his head, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.
"Senior sister, what do you want to do?" Li Ji frowned and couldn't help asking, feeling increasingly worried.
As if he had seen through Li Ji's worries, Yuxu turned his back to Li Ji and murmured in a low voice: "Li Yan, do you know? In fact, I found my biological parents, I found them a long, long time ago.
"
Li Ji did not speak, but quietly waited for her next words.
"I remember it was a snowy night, and I finally found them. Although they were all mortals and old, and although their families were miserable, they were full of children and grandchildren, and they were living happily together.
But, but do you know? In the ancestral hall in the backyard, I don't even have a spiritual tablet, only the words "eldest female spiritual tablet"."
When Yuxu said this, she choked with sobs. Li Ji knew even without looking that she had already burst into tears.
"They...they just used me as a money-making tool and sold me to Wanhualou in exchange for ten taels of silver."
Yuxu seemed to be talking about something extraordinary, his tone became serious and his voice became much shriller.
Ten taels of silver, Li Ji thought of the past, many, many years ago, when he was still in that poor village. His family could not earn ten taels of silver in a year, and they had to buy books for him and his brother, and pay the bills.
Let them go to school.
Now think about it, do his parents love him so much? He smiled bitterly, what if he was a girl?
He didn't know and didn't think about it.
Yuxu suddenly turned around, her big Shui Lingling eyes covered with a layer of mist. She leaned on Li Ji's chest, breathing quickly, and murmured to herself: "Li Yan, I'll give it to you."
Two choices, either you accompany me to finish this crazy thing, and I will promise to be the Li family’s wife in the future. Or I will kill you, then commit suicide, and it will be over."
Li Ji originally wanted to say that with his current strength, Yuxu might not be able to defeat Li Ji if he fought with all his strength, but how could he possibly say this.
