Chapter 116: Go bathe first!

The sunset began to sink, the fiery red sky sinking toward the west, dyeing the clouds red across the sky.

The golden sun wheel at this time seemed to be hanging on the edge of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, so that the golden light shone everywhere, while the surrounding sky gradually darkened.

Zhuo Wanqiu was standing outside the sword forest, while Ding Yao was chatting with several disciples beside her who had finished their sword forest journey.

After chatting for a long time, Ding Yao swayed her waist and came over, looking toward the forest.

"Unexpectedly, so this is the man the Inspector has fallen for?"

"What does Ding Shijie want to say again?"

"Although I haven't broken through the sword forest, those few disciples just now did. They said that although 【Little Zhongshan】 is a technique of slaughter, Elder Qi had already reduced its power to an extremely low level when setting up the sword forest, but Seeing Ji You broke through sixteen times before passing. It really opened my eyes."

Ding Yao crossed her arms, a mocking look appearing at the corner of her mouth: "The disciple who was talking to me just now is called Yu Lin, a Heavenly Jianfeng disciple who just entered the Realm of Profound Understanding. His realm is not very stable yet, but he only used eight swords to pass 【Little Zhongshan】."

After Zhuo Wanqiu heard her finish, her brows furrowed tightly, and she didn't say a word, but she didn't expect the other party not to stop.

"Junior Sister Zhuo, did you see Elder Yan Ye's gaze just now? She is a person who loves sword Dao extremely, but in the end, she didn't even have the interest to watch."

"Clamoring to come to my Spirit Sword Mountain to learn swords, and even pretending to be good for the Inspector by not wanting her to teach, I thought it was how strong a sword Dao talent it was. Now it seems, he is probably afraid that his foundation is insufficient, fearing that he will lose face in front of the Inspector."

Ding Yao turned to look at Zhuo Wanqiu: "Going back tonight, he is probably too ashamed to see the Inspector again, and the Inspector is probably too embarrassed to come find him again. What do you think?"

Previously in the courtyard, Zhuo Wanqiu was also this sharp-tongued and mocking until she was speechless; this time it could be considered as having returned it all.

Zhuo Wanqiu raised her head upon hearing this: "There are always people suitable for learning swords, and there are always people not suitable for learning swords..."

"Zhuo Wanqiu, you yourself know clearly in your heart that he is not worthy of the Inspector. The Inspector is just greedy for beauty for a moment and cannot see the big picture, but she will understand sooner or later. This Seeing Ji You can't even catch the swords of our Spirit Sword Mountain, how could he be her good match."

While speaking, a rustling sound came from the sea of forest.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu came back to their senses, looked up, and saw Seeing Ji You already holding his sword and coming out of the sword forest.

He had some bamboo leaf foam that had been slashed and shattered on his body, his hair crown was slightly disheveled, and he took a deep breath facing the sunset.

The sword Dao of Spirit Sword Mountain was indeed incomparably mysterious.

He had already begun to worry for He Lingxiu, who was fighting tomorrow, especially after feeling Yan Shujing's sword intent just now, this worry was even greater.

Zhuo Wanqiu walked up head-on at this time: "Young Master, where did you break through to?"

"The sixth sword of the second level."

"Is that 【Little Zhongshan】 a bit difficult for you, Young Master?"

Seeing Ji You didn't expect to be asked this question, thinking that Zhuo Wanqiu also wanted to break through, so he was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "Not difficult, not difficult at all. It just looks a bit scary, but you can pass it if you are a little serious."

Hearing this answer of his, Ding Yao turned her head away speechlessly in the back.

Thinking to herself, looking at this light and breezy manner now, you can't tell how disheveled you were when you passed that 【Little Zhongshan】 just now.

But the disciples of the Mountain Sea Pavilion, Questioning Dao Sect, and Spirit Sword Mountain all saw it. After tonight, the matter of Seeing Ji You of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan having the cultivation of the Realm of Profound Understanding but taking sixteen times to enter the second sword forest would be spread all over the mountain. What is the point of talking such big words.

In fact, Ding Yao's few words just now did make Zhuo Wanqiu somewhat uneasy.

After all, although this Ding Shijie's words were a bit ugly, the words were true.

The Inspector is the orthodoxy of Spirit Sword Mountain, the future Abbot, and Young Master Ji wanting to be worthy of her indeed needs to be exceptionally dazzling.

But his performance today when facing 【Little Zhongshan】 was indeed far from the word dazzling.

Seeing Ji You didn't know that Zhuo Wanqiu was worried about him not being able to pass the door, so he faced the afterglow of the setting sun and headed toward Profound Jianfeng.

At this time, in the small courtyard below the Heavenly Palace, on the new blanket changed under the tea table, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi was holding a cup and drinking tea, looking toward the window from time to time.

That pair of crystal-clear white jade feet were cushioned under her perky buttocks, the pink and moist nail covers as exquisite as flower petals.

Since returning to the palace from here in the morning, she had been cultivating Dao until this time, her work circulating for several weeks, and then went to the Voidless Mountain to realize Dao for three hours, the aura around her body not yet dissipated.

The mountain is still not very peaceful now, especially the matter of the Abbot Uncle inviting the Questioning Dao Sect and the Mountain Sea Pavilion to hold a tea party.

Although nominally it was to squeeze the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and let the people of the world watch a joke, it might not have been without other thoughts.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi didn't like this so-called planning behind the scenes, and the only way was to be that fastest sword.

Because if the sword is fast enough, then everything can be slashed, and it can also make the eyes clean.

After the cultivation ended, she wrote another letter and sent it to the Pill Sect, fiercely asking Yuan Caiwei what exactly she saw in Seeing Ji You, and then came to this courtyard to sit quietly.

This was not a courtyard prepared specifically for Seeing Ji You alone; in fact, it was the small room where she usually calmed her heart.

However, although it was said to be a small room, it was still different.

That Cloud Top Heavenly Palace still had maids, and her parents also came occasionally, only this room belonged exclusively to her, and except for Seeing Ji You, she had never allowed anyone else to enter.

So this morning, Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao were both standing outside the room, not daring to enter without permission.

Just at this time, the room door was pushed open, and the last light before the setting sun sank into the room.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi looked toward the door, her expression cold and quiet, her beautiful face carrying no emotion, truly like a heartless goddess in the sunlight, making the three people who returned lose their focus for a moment.

However, very quickly, the Inspector's eyes suddenly came alive, as if spirit had suddenly poured in, and then she squinted her eyes and looked at Seeing Ji You, her expression carrying a bit of disgust.

"How did your hair get like you crawled into a chicken coop..."

Seeing Ji You had already shaken it off a few times on the way here, but he was still somewhat dusty, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but speak: "How can the Little Inspector say the sword forest is a chicken coop? This is a great disrespect to my Spirit Sword Mountain."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then bluffed her small face: "Spirit Sword Mountain is mine."

"Not necessarily not mine..."

"?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi heard some signs of his Dao heart being clear in his words, somewhat wanting to draw her sword to poke him.

Seeing Ji You was naturally very magnanimous; after all, he even wanted to endure the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and change it into a bandit den.

Ding Yao was standing at the door at this time, watching the two of them looking at each other, thinking to herself that the person who looked like a goddess just now was clearly the real Inspector, why did she suddenly change her temperament at this time.

Subsequently, Zhuo Wanqiu's morning words rang in her mind, and began to linger constantly.

Because the other party didn't care whether he was the Inspector, so the Inspector would subconsciously not be that Inspector who deterred the mountains in front of him...

Subsequently, Seeing Ji You wanted to sit down and rest, but was stopped by a voice with a clip-tone.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi subconsciously crossed her arms, guarding in front of her slender waist, and ordered Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao with cold eyes to prepare a bathtub for him, letting him go bathe first.

Although Ding Yao was unwilling, she still fetched water from outside and poured it into the bathtub, but her mouth still didn't spare him.

"The Inspector has a slight cleanliness habit, but she can tolerate people who are very close. But just now, the Inspector was afraid that you would dirty her newly changed blanket. It seems that Young Master Ji is not very close to the Inspector."

"Ding Shijie Yao!"

Zhuo Wanqiu whispered, interrupting her words: "Young Master Ji, don't overthink it. This small courtyard is the Inspector's room for being alone, and that blanket was indeed just changed."

Seeing Ji You nodded, not responding.

Blanket, cleanliness habit...

He smiled softly, thinking to himself, your Little Inspector is not afraid of dirtying the blanket, she is clearly afraid that I will be dirty when I go to hug her after my Dao heart becomes clear later, so she let me wash clean.

In fact, thinking about it, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi actually doesn't dislike being hugged by him. Although she doesn't say it, she is actually vaguely thinking about the next time in her heart.

Subsequently, Seeing Ji You took off his clothes and ordered Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu to go out.

Last time he was seen by Yuan Caiwei, this time he can't let others take advantage.

Subsequently, he began to bathe, and the sound of splashing water constantly rang out from inside the room.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu retreated to the main room at this time, waiting quietly on the side.

However, before waiting too long, Zhuo Wanqiu heard Ding Yao unable to bear the loneliness and speak.

"Inspector, Young Master Ji doesn't seem to be going well in the sword forest today. That Elder Qi's 【Little Zhongshan】 is indeed powerful. Even a Heavenly Jianfeng disciple in the initial Realm of Profound Understanding only passed after eight sword strikes."

"Young Master Ji might have been tired from the journey yesterday and didn't rest well, actually taking sixteen sword strikes to pass the first level."

"I heard some ugly things from the disciples in the mountain, saying that Young Master Ji is full of empty fame, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and so on."

Zhuo Wanqiu looked at her, opened her mouth, and after pondering for a moment, did not interrupt.

The Inspector would definitely ask about the sword forest matter. Although Ding Yao's Dao heart was quite mixed, she definitely wouldn't say anything false, at most adding oil and vinegar like she was doing now.

She felt that rather than the Inspector asking Young Master Ji later, making Young Master Ji embarrassed to answer, it was better for Ding Yao to say it.

However, after Ding Yao finished speaking, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi didn't have any reaction, still holding the teacup without leaving her mouth as before, making Ding Yao stunned for a while.

"Inspector?"

"?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi came back to her senses, took the bubbling teacup away from her mouth, somewhat cold-faced and red-faced.

After Ding Yao finished watching, she felt incredible, thinking to herself, I was so loud with my sarcasm just now and you didn't hear it, so what exactly were you listening to?

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi only withdrew her gaze at this time, and after being silly for a while, she realized someone was talking, so she looked up at Ding Yao: "What were you saying just now?"

"Reporting to the Inspector, I just said that Young Master Ji used sixteen sword strikes to pass 【Little Zhongshan】, and it seems somewhat not going well. The disciples on the mountain are all discussing that he has empty fame."

"He really has patience."

"?"

Subsequently, Seeing Ji You finished washing and walked out, wiping his wet hair, which made Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi lose her focus again.

After his hair was wiped dry, the two went to tinker with the stove in the back room, seemingly wanting to light a fire to roast sweet potatoes.

Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that the Inspector didn't seem to care at all that he used sixteen swords to pass 【Little Zhongshan】, but this didn't seem right.

Seeing Ji You might be stronger than the average man in the Inspector's heart, but even so, sixteen times is too poor, it is impossible for the Inspector not to have a reaction.

(It's too busy near the Spring Festival, there are things every day these few days, it may also be that I've reached the age, friends around me are all getting married, I will definitely try to add updates after this period, and then ask for monthly tickets... or2)
