Chapter 285: The Little Inspector Who Can't Sit Still

Snow deep in the path, red mud small fire stove.

The Little Inspector of Lingjian Mountain in the tea pavilion didn't know what happened outside the door. She was listening carefully to Xiang Kuangcheng tell about Ji You's affairs in the disaster area, her slender, curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

And when she heard that Ji You taught children string games and hopscotch in the disaster area, and then heard Xiang Kuangcheng's exclamation that Brother Ji loved children very much, she subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and her beautiful face couldn't help but puff up.

Xiang Kuangcheng then asked her when she would go to see Brother Ji, and was answered with "not familiar, not seeing."

If you don't see him, it won't hurt...

And at this time, in the wind and snow outside the courtyard, Ji You whispered with Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu for a long time, then turned and went to the East Market, without entering the Wei family's separate courtyard.

At the same time, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu rubbed their firm buttocks and returned to the door of the separate courtyard.

Knowing but not reporting, punished...

Just when the two were pouting, the wooden door behind them was pushed open, and Xiang Kuangcheng walked out of the courtyard and said goodbye to the two of them.

Then he went straight to a vegetable shop on the street, and Wei Rui sent him to the door, watching him for a long time.

When Wei Rui withdrew her gaze from watching her lover, she looked at the two fairies at the door, their cheeks slightly red, rubbing their buttocks, and her expression couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt...

"Green peppers can be stir-fried with cured meat."

"Let's have a roast duck; this can be eaten by tearing it apart, which is simple."

"Mu Jing sent some mountain mushrooms from home before the heavy snow; they are dried and preserved very well, so we can buy a chicken and stew them together."

Xiang Kuangcheng calculated what to cook, then bought some vegetables, and went to buy a jar of wine, then walked out of the vegetable shop.

He didn't know why Zhengxin Xianzi Yan didn't want Ji You to know that she had come to Shengjing, but since he had already promised to hide it, for a scholar who had read the sages' books since childhood, it meant keeping his word.

Anyway, this young couple often played some games of "I don't know you," and this kind of trick was something he, a scholar, couldn't understand.

Then he took the road he came from, turning left and right, and walked back to his small house.

However, when he walked to the door, he looked up and found that the courtyard was smoking.

The black smoke mixed in the white cold air was particularly obvious, making the scholar see it and couldn't help but be stunned.

Brother Ji is back? Why is he still making a fire in the courtyard...

He pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, and found Ji You sitting on the door platform under the eaves, with a grill in front of him, and a few sweet potatoes on the stove.

And his Brother Ji was holding a summer fan, fanning the flames in the stove.

Xiang Kuangcheng opened his mouth to ask why he suddenly started roasting sweet potatoes, and found Ji You squinting at him, his eyes carrying some interrogation and intimidation.

"Yo, isn't this the famous Xiang the Un-deceiving? Back so soon?"

"Er, back..."

The fan in Ji You's hand paused: "Haven't seen Miss Rui'er for so long, why did you only go for half an hour, didn't you stay together for a long time?"

Xiang Kuangcheng coughed upon hearing this: "A scholar carries the righteous spirit of heaven and earth; once I thought that Brother Ji was still waiting for me to eat at home, I knew I couldn't forget righteousness for beauty."

"Huo, so you are still a good brother."

"That's natural..."

Xiang Kuangcheng felt that Brother Ji's eyes were a bit like when they first left Yuyang County, looking at his luggage, and his heart tightened: "That, I'll go stir-fry the vegetables."

Ji You reached out to stop him: "No need, you rest today, I'll do the cooking."

Xiang Kuangcheng's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion: "Didn't you always do the cooking before? Why does Brother Ji have such elegant interest today?"

"Brother Xiang is so good to me, I must express it to commemorate this great friendship."

"It's to memorialize."

"What?"

Xiang Kuangcheng saw Ji You reach out, so he handed over the vegetables he bought, and explained: "That word is called memorialize, not commemorate; the word commemorate is used for deceased old friends."

Ji You took the vegetables and looked at them, then muttered: "It's about to be used."

"?"

"Alright, you just sit there, there will be a task for you later."

Xiang Kuangcheng was already a bit guilty, and seeing Ji You's strange behavior, he didn't dare to refute, so he wrapped himself tightly in his fur robe and sat in front of the fire stove, warming his hands while watching Ji You walk toward the kitchen.

The scholar Xiang started clearing snow when he got home, but only swept out a walking path to the hall in the courtyard covered in deep snow, and at this time Ji You slapped his palm out, and the air wave lifted by the thick spiritual energy directly swept the snow pressing on the stove away.

Then he took down the cutting board and started cutting vegetables with a rustle.

Green peppers into sections, cured meat into slices, free-range chicken into pieces, and dried mountain mushrooms soaked in warm water; the skilled technique made the scholar stare blankly.

After the ingredients were processed, Ji You turned back, flipped the sweet potatoes on the grill a few times, and then took a letter out of his bosom and handed it to Xiang Kuangcheng.

Xiang Kuangcheng looked at it blankly: "What is this?"

Ji You stuffed the envelope into his bosom: "Eating with two people is boring; it just so happens that I haven't seen Wei Rui for a long time, so please invite her to join us tonight."

Xiang Kuangcheng read the letter and found that this invitation was written in his tone, saying that Brother Ji roasted sweet potatoes today and personally cooked his best dishes, etc., specially inviting Wei Rui to appreciate the light, etc.

After reading the letter, Xiang Kuangcheng couldn't help but raise his head: "I remember Rui'er doesn't like roasted sweet potatoes."

"She doesn't like it, maybe someone else likes it."

"But Wei Rui is meeting guests today, and that guest is currently at her mansion; I guess she should be unable to get away."

Ji You suppressed the flames in the grill with spiritual energy: "Don't make me memorialize the friendship..."

Xiang Kuangcheng reached out and took the letter, looking at Ji You with a strange expression: "Is Brother Ji only inviting Miss Rui'er?"

Ji You looked at him seriously: "Why, are there any other fairies from afar to invite?"

"Brother Ji, sit first, I'll be back soon!"

Xiang Kuangcheng tucked the letter into his bosom, then pushed the door out of the courtyard, and couldn't help but look at the deep-eyed Ji You when he left.

He knew it, how could the fact that Zhengxin Xianzi Yan came to Shengjing be hidden from him? Now it was exposed...

The Wei family's separate courtyard was very large, with pavilions and towers, even more simple and elegant than some immortal villas, enough to see how strong the pro-immortal faction was back then.

At this time, three sect-walking disciples of Lingjian Mountain talked with Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu for a while, then left the courtyard.

The two watched them disappear into the wind and snow, then turned back to the courtyard, and after searching for a while, found the Inspector who was stepping on the rustling fallen snow between the rockeries.

"Reporting to the Inspector, news just came that the people from the Mountain Sea Pavilion and the Asking Dao Sect left Lingjian Mountain without seeing the Inspector."

"What about Yan Cang and Yan Rong?"

"They haven't returned to the mountain yet, along with one hundred and thirty-eight Heavenly Jianfeng disciples. The disciples sent to follow have currently touched their tracks, and there should be news in a few days."

The impact caused by the Bu family incident was actually continuing constantly; the seemingly calm Immortal Sects were actually still tightening their nerves in private.

Because the human incarnation as an Evil Seed was definitely related to the Qiling incident, and what the Zheng family ancestor showed back then could threaten the status of the Immortal Sect.

But at the same time, in the eyes of everyone, that thing was like a tempting fruit.

So they selectively forgot the deeds of the Zheng family ancestor who had refined countless people when he ascended back then.

If this kind of thing was really mastered, how could there be peace in the world, especially since Yan Shuyi learned about the so-called immortal fate from Ji You, which required a container.

So Yan Shuyi came to Shengjing quietly, claiming to be cultivating away from the mountain, to avoid Lingjian Mountain being wrapped up by the general trend and falling into the abyss, while also secretly sending people to keep a close eye on their movements, preventing accidents, and always preparing to enter the game as a bystander.

It was just that she hadn't succeeded the position of Abbot yet; the Heavenly Jianfeng respected her on the surface, but secretly had always been participating in it, intending to let Lingjian Mountain be involved in disaster, which couldn't help but make her murderous intent rise.

Ding Yao opened her mouth again: "Inspector, the Peak Master and the Madam also sent a letter, asking you to return to the mountain."

Yan Shuyi's eyes lifted slightly: "Because of the Asking Dao Sect?"

"The Peak Master didn't mention the Asking Dao Sect."

"Then what did he say?"

"Only telling you to think carefully, not to act on impulse. I think the Peak Master must have guessed that you came to Shengjing, and is implicitly referring to the matter of the son-in-law..."

Ding Yao said, handing over the letter from Yan Jingxiang, the Peak Master of the Profound Jianfeng.

The letter started by calling her milk name, with earnest advice, saying that if she didn't like the Asking Dao Sect, she could make it clear, but she must not act on impulse and just mess around, shaming the prestige of Lingjian Mountain and being ridiculed by the people of the world. ===== CHAPTER 286 =====
