Fourteen, the beginning of spring.
Spring is back and everything is reviving. In the suburbs of Yu Shui City, green has already .
Compared to half a month ago, the weather is now getting less cold and the sun is getting warmer.
After the harsh winter, the warm sunshine naturally comes more warm and comfortable.
When the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue, Chu Qinghe and the other three were lying on chairs in the yard, with the sun shining on their faces.
The white snow had long disappeared, and the plants in the entire yard had just been replaced.
As the breeze blew by, the wind that should have been a little cool in this early spring now became a little warm, caressing with the rich fragrance of flowers, showing its gentleness.
Coupled with the fragrance of the purple jade mandala that slowly surrounded them and penetrated into the noses of the four people, Chu Qinghe and the others had their minds completely empty at this moment, quietly enjoying this lazy afternoon.
Some things, no matter how many times you do them, you will never get tired of them.
Just like Yao Yue sneaking into Chu Qinghe's room every night, and just like Mu Yang this afternoon, even after such a long time, it was not boring at all, but rather it became more and more enjoyable.
At three quarters after midnight, when the sunlight faded, Chu Qinghe, feeling a little cooler in the breeze, slowly opened his eyes.
After the cool breeze blew for more than ten breaths and the laziness on his body subsided a little, Chu Qinghe slowly sat up, then dragged his heavy and tired body to the camellia tree.
After Chu Qinghe, the other three women also woke up slowly, and then walked towards the stone table in the yard with Chu Qinghe.
Even for Yao Yue, there was a hint of laziness in the cool feeling at this moment.
It was not until they drank a glass of slightly cool wine and felt a slight wake-up call that the laziness in their bodies gradually disappeared.
After calming down for a while, Yao Yue put down her wine glass, went to the courtyard and continued practicing.
Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao also followed with great interest.
Compared to a few days ago, with the wood carving made by Chu Qinghe, Yao Yue is now more proficient in using "Ascension to Immortality Steps". It seems that in a few days, she should be able to reach the level of "being familiar with it".
Even for Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, their progress is incomparable.
Just this morning, the two women successfully reached the level of "getting a glimpse of the basics" in their attainments of "Transferring Flowers and Jade".
With such progress, the two little girls are naturally full of motivation.
Only Chu Qinghe continued to sit under the tree, tasting wine, appreciating the flowers and enjoying the beauty, feeling very comfortable.
Sometimes, the life that men yearn for is such a simple and unpretentious one.
After watching for a while, Chu Qinghe slowly stood up, took out the carving knife and wood from the room and started carving.
After all, with the intensity of the three women's training, even the remaining internal energy in the wooden sculptures in the hands of Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao was consumed by at least half.
Not to mention Yao Yue, whose daily practice time is almost twice as much as Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao.
According to Chu Qinghe's perception, the remaining internal energy in Yao Yue's wooden sculpture would probably be consumed today.
at the same time.
North of the city.
Three miles away from the north city gate.
On this official road, several women with their faces covered with veils stood quietly in front, occasionally gazing into the distance.
If Chu Qinghe was here at this moment, he would be able to tell at the first sight that these women were the disciples of Shenshui Palace who had been staying in the second-floor attic during this period of time.
Half a minute later, while the few people were waiting, dozens of figures slowly appeared in the women's sight from a distance. They were all wearing long white skirts, with their faces covered with gauze, and had graceful figures.
Among this group of people, there was a sedan chair that required eight people to carry.
The sedan was covered with a veil, and one could vaguely see a person sitting in it.
What is surprising is that these dozens of people are obviously walking, but their speed is extremely fast. They can cross more than thirty feet in just a few breaths.
They were the people from the Shenshui Palace who had traveled thousands of miles from the Shenshui Palace to the Yu Shui City.
When they saw the team from the Shenshui Palace in the distance, the disciples of the Shenshui Palace who had been standing there waiting immediately used their lightness skills to take the initiative to greet them.
When they moved in front of the sedan chair, several people knelt on one knee.
"Disciple greets Palace Master."
Looking at the several Shenshui Palace disciples with the surname Sun in front of them, the people from Shenshui Palace who were originally moving quickly also stopped.
As the sedan chair that was originally on the high platform among the group of people fell to the ground, a plain and indifferent voice slowly came out from it.
"Is he still in Yushui City?"
As the voice came out, the Shenshui Palace disciple named Sun who was kneeling on the ground quickly responded: "Palace Master, this person has been in Yushui City, and the disciples and others have been watching him."
However, after saying this, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun added : "However, through the observations of the disciples during this period, the identity jade token that the disciples of the Shenshui Palace had lost before should not be related to that Master Chu. It is very likely that it was dropped or destroyed when Tian Boguang escaped."
In response to what the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun said, Shuiyun Ji asked calmly, "Did you find the fragments of the jade token?"
Hearing this, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun paused for a moment and then lowered his head and said, "Palace Master, when we were chasing Tian Boguang along the way, we did not find any trace of the jade pendant."
Just as he uttered this sentence, a burst of energy suddenly burst out from the sedan chair in front of him and rushed towards the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun at a high speed.
Without even having the chance to react, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun was knocked flying backwards by this force of energy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out while his body was still in the air.
As his body fell to the ground, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun let out a muffled groan, and his expression instantly became much more listless.
Even the other disciples of Shenshui Palace who were kneeling on the ground involuntarily leaned to one side due to this wave.
At the same time, the voice of Jellyfish Yin Ji in the sedan chair was audible with a tone that dropped significantly.
"Since the identity jade token has not been found, why do you dare to assert that the loss of the jade token has nothing to do with the person from Yu Shui City?"
After forcing himself to kneel again, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun said, "Palace Master, we have been observing Mr. Chu for some time. He is handsome, modest and polite. If they want, I am afraid that many women will be willing to throw themselves into his arms."
"Moreover, Tian Boguang also died at the hands of Mr. Chu's maid. The identity of the maid has been verified by our disciples. She should have been abducted by Tian Boguang on the way to escape from Shenshui Palace. Everything I say is true and I have no concealment. Please understand, Palace Master."
As soon as the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun finished speaking, several other Shenshui Palace disciples quickly echoed him.
But just as they finished speaking, accompanied by the surge of true energy, these disciples of Shenshui Palace were knocked back just like the disciple of Shenshui Palace with the surname Sun.
At the same time, the veil around the sedan was suddenly lifted, and a white figure crossed several feet and instantly appeared in front of the Shenshui Palace disciple named Sun, and grabbed his neck with his palm.
At this point, Jellyfish Yin Ji's figure was exposed under the already somewhat dim sunlight.
His figure is particularly tall. In terms of height alone, he is even comparable to Chu Qinghe, but his body is protruding where it should be and curled where it should be.
If we ignore her height and only talk about her figure, she can be compared with Yao Yue.
There is obvious indifference in the big eyes under the thick eyebrows. Although the veil on her face prevents people from seeing her full appearance, she still gives people a fascinating sense of majesty.
Her sight fell on the disciple of the Shenshui Palace named Sun in front of her, and a cold light flashed in Jellyfish Yin Ji's eyes.
"It's only been a month, and you're able to beg for a mere man. He's handsome, humble and polite. Ha! I want to see what kind of man is able to make you so crazy and forget about life and death in such a short time."
After saying that, Jellyfish Yin Ji turned her head and picked up the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun and moved towards the city.
As she stepped on the air, there was actually water mist condensing under her feet, dragging the jellyfish Yin Ji's feet, which never touched the ground.
The remaining disciples of the Shenshui Palace stood still and dared not move without the order of Jellyfish Yin Ji.
It was also when Jellyfish Yin Ji stepped into the Yu Shui City that the fluctuations of the perfect true qi of the Grandmaster Realm became as conspicuous to Yao Yue as a bonfire in the dark night.
After turning her head to glance at Chu Qinghe who was sitting under the tree and immersed in the wood carving, Yao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and her figure flashed and appeared on the roof of the gate in the front yard in an instant. She stood with her hands behind her back and looked towards the north of the city.
Here, seeing Yao Yue suddenly move to the courtyard wall, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both looked suspicious.
"Fei Yan, what happened to Sister Yue?"
Facing Xiao Zhao's question, Qu Feiyan thought about it and quickly said, "To be able to make Sister Yue react so strongly, could it be that he is a master at the Grandmaster level?"
At the same time, the jellyfish Yin Ji, who had just entered Yu Shui City and was rapidly approaching Chu Qinghe's yard, also sensed the true qi fluctuations of the master who was also at the perfect grandmaster level in the distance.
This sudden discovery made Jellyfish Yin Ji frown, but her moving speed did not slow down at all.
A few breaths later, as the body vacated space, Jellyfish Yin Ji's gaze was focused , and she almost instinctively caught sight of a woman standing with her hands behind her back on the wall of a distant house.
Looking at the woman's beautiful face and her cold and aloof temperament, Jellyfish Yin Ji looked slightly suspicious, and her mind quickly flashed through the female masters in the world who could match this woman.
"In this southwest area, that woman, could it be Yao Yue from Yihua Palace?"
But as soon as the thought came up, it was rejected by Jellyfish Yin Ji.
"No! It is said that Yao Yue of Yihua Palace is only in the middle stage of Grandmaster Realm. Although her temperament and appearance match, the gap in cultivation is too big, unless she can also jump two realms in this period of time."
"But if it's not Yao Yue, who else could this person be? Dongfang Bubai from the Sun Moon Sect, but his temperament and clothes don't match."
As her thoughts flowed, the jellyfish Yin Ji in the air flashed a few times and landed on the roof in front of Yao Yue.
When their eyes met, Jellyfish Yin Ji said, "I didn't expect that in such a small place, there is a master who has reached the perfection of the Grandmaster Realm!"
Listening to what Shuiji Yinji said, Yaoyue sneered in her heart, "She rushed from Shenshui Palace to Yushui City just for a jade token. This woman is really stupid."
However, just as this thought came to her mind, Yao Yue let out a soft "eh" in her heart, and suddenly remembered that Dongfang Bubai usually called her "stupid woman".
Before this, Yao Yue had always been puzzled by the way Dongfang Bubai addressed her.
But now, looking at the actions of the jellyfish Yin Ji in front of her, Yao Yue vaguely understood.
Thinking of this, Yao Yue frowned suddenly.
"So, that's how that woman looked at me from the beginning?"
When she thought of this, a cold light flashed in Yao Yue's eyes, and she once again made a note of Dongfang Bubai in the notebook in her heart. From then on, she had one more reason to fight Dongfang Bubai.
Here, seeing Yao Yue in front of her suddenly frown, Jellyfish Yin Ji looked puzzled.
However, before Jellyfish Yin Ji could think more, the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun, who was still being held by Jellyfish Yin Ji at this time, listened to what Jellyfish Yin Ji said and when he looked at Yao Yue in front of him, his pale face was filled with shock.
Obviously, after guarding outside Chu Qinghe's courtyard for so long, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun had never expected that the Yao Yue he saw in Chu Qinghe's courtyard was actually a master who had reached the perfect Grandmaster level.
Shocked, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun quickly used his true energy to transmit his voice, "Palace Master, this girl is from Master Chu's courtyard."
"Um?"
Hearing the sound coming into her ears, Jellyfish Yin Ji's expression changed slightly, and her gaze unconsciously moved away from Yao Yue and turned to look inside the yard.
As her gaze moved, Jellyfish Yin Ji's gaze swept across the two stunning maids in the inner courtyard who were looking up at her, and then stopped at Chu Qinghe who was carving wood under the tree.
But just this one glance made Jellyfish Yin Ji unable to move her gaze away.
At this moment, under the tree in the yard, Chu Qinghe was dressed in white, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was extraordinarily handsome. When he pursed his lips, there was a strong sense of concentration.
With a slight movement of the carving knife in his hand, wood flowers fell and petals floated in the air.
A light breeze blew by, sometimes lifting the hair on Chu Qinghe's face. As the long hair fluttered, Jellyfish Yin Ji seemed to feel that her heart was also in the fluttering of the long hair, as if it had entered her own heart.
That feeling really was a stir in my heart, as if there was a thing called a deer saying to Jellyfish Yin Ji, "I'm going to crash?"
The Palace Master of Shenshui Palace must first become a Saint before succeeding the position of Palace Master.
The key to being a saint is to be spotless and flawless and maintain a pure yin body.
Therefore, after Jellyfish Yin Ji entered the Water God Palace, all she was indoctrinated with were ideas such as all men in the world are unfeeling and fickle, or that women are no weaker than men.
Over time, Jellyfish Yin Ji developed a subtle aversion to men.
When Jellyfish Yin Ji entered the world of martial arts as expected, all the men she met along the way made her feel disdainful, and she determined that she would never fall in love with a man in her life.
It was also for this reason that after she became possessed a year ago, as Jellyfish Yin Ji's figure and appearance changed, her originally beautiful face suddenly became masculine, Jellyfish Yin Ji's mood changed drastically, and her disgust for men reached a peak.
But now, looking at Chu Qinghe, the man in the inner courtyard who could make anyone lose their minds at first sight, Jellyfish Yin Ji discovered that men might not be as annoying as she thought.
At least, at this moment, the man in the inner courtyard looked quite pleasing to the eye, making people happy.
As a result, Jellyfish Yin Ji felt that she seemed to have wronged this disciple of the Shenshui Palace named Sun.
After all, from what we can see, Chu Qinghe doesn't look like someone who would go along with someone like Tian Boguang.
As chaotic thoughts emerged in her mind, looking at Chu Qinghe in the distance, whose whole body exuded a special charm and every move was full of pleasing beauty, Jellyfish Yin Ji at this moment actually felt as if she had fallen in love with him at first sight.
There was even a urge to take a closer look at the man in the yard.
However, before Shui Ji Yin Ji could immerse herself in Chu Qinghe's beauty for too long, Yao Yue gathered her thoughts and looked at Shui Ji Yin Ji who was looking at the inner courtyard. She said in a cold voice, "The jade token incident has nothing to do with us. The area west of Daming is the territory of my Yihua Palace. You, Shenshui Palace, better not stretch your hands too far."
"Yihua Palace? This woman is actually Yaoyue?"
Hearing Yao Yue's voice which was obviously a warning, Jellyfish Yin Ji's expression was slightly sluggish as her attention was drawn back. She obviously didn't expect that Yao Yue had also entered the perfect state of Grandmaster Realm.
But without waiting for Jellyfish Yin Ji to respond, after giving her a warning, Yao Yue instantly returned to the courtyard and sat next to Chu Qinghe.
But after sitting down, Yao Yue's gaze, which was filled with obvious warning, was still fixed on Jellyfish Yin Ji.
Looking at Yao Yue who was now in the inner courtyard, her gaze lightly moved to Chu Qinghe. At this moment, Jellyfish Yin Ji actually felt a hint of jealousy.
There is a desire to replace it.
But she was the Palace Master of Shenshui Palace after all. After confirming that the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue, was here and knowing Yaoyue's own cultivation level, Jellyfish Yin Ji pondered for a few breaths and said nothing. She picked up the Shenshui Palace disciple named Sun and left.
Yao Yue looked away only after seeing the jellyfish Yin Ji leave.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing by, was surprised and asked, "Sister Yue, that person just now couldn't be the Jellyfish Yin Ji from the Divine Water Palace, right?"
Yao Yue responded with a calm "hmm".
Although it was the first time that she saw the jellyfish Yin Ji Yaoyue, the woman was holding the disciple from the Shenshui Palace who had come to her before.
Combined with his own cultivation, his identity is naturally self-evident.
However, after responding to Qu Feiyan, Yao Yue couldn't help but look in the direction where Shui Jellyfish Yin Ji had just left, and said with a slightly surprised tone: "However, I didn't expect that this woman's cultivation has also reached the perfection of the Grandmaster Realm."
A year ago, since Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue and Shuiji Yin Ji were controversial among many people in the martial arts world, it was naturally because the appearance and strength of the three were almost the same.
And during this period of time, because of Chu Qinghe, he and the woman Dongfang Bubai entered the perfection of the Grandmaster realm. The speed of this cultivation has reached the extreme.
But I never thought that the jellyfish Yin Ji could achieve the perfection of the grandmaster level without making any noise.
This made Yao Yue curious about what kind of adventure the other party had had.
