Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 98: Cao Ke Can Go, I Can Also Go

Upon hearing Lu Bei's threatening words, She Xuan remained expressionless, holding her knife, unmoved like a true warrior.

Used to it.

Being threatened by Lu Bei repeatedly, She Xuan knew that this person was all talk and no action, even if given the opportunity.

She Xuan knew Lu Bei inside out, but Zhu Shiyun didn't. When he heard that Lu Bei had a date with his wife tonight, his face turned green with anger. Trembling, he pointed his finger like a sword and angrily rebuked, "Mr. Ding, as a member of the Profound Moon Department's Qingwei, you are a loyal general of the court. You should serve His Majesty and investigate the case, instead of taking advantage of your power to exploit others."

"Mr. Zhu, you've misunderstood. It was the lady who kindly invited me. Seeing her alone in an empty and lonely room, I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I agreed to spend the night with her to enjoy the moon. This is an act of kindness, not taking advantage of anyone."

Lu Bei defended his character with these two sentences. Seeing Zhu Shiyun's anger intensify, he smirked and said, "Besides, tonight I can either treat the lady as worthless as grass and do evil, or treat her as a precious gem in my palm and do good. It's up to Mr. Zhu to decide, isn't it?"

Zhu Shiyun's face turned iron blue upon hearing this. He picked up the drink on the table and downed it in one gulp. After a while, he sat down on the stool, dejectedly saying, "You're overthinking, Mr. Ding. The official hasn't been threatened by anyone, nor is there any compelling reason. It is the official who cultivates insects and kills colleagues. Today, I am ashamed of the emperor's grace and willingly confess and accept the law."

"If that's the case, tonight I can only discuss the case with the lady," Lu Bei said with narrowed eyes. He raised his hand and slapped the table, calling the Wang Catcher outside the room. Ignoring Zhu Shiyun's desperate pleas, he dragged him out of the door.

"So, is the case settled now?" She Xuan frowned and said, "This person's behavior is natural, without any deliberate actions of lying. In addition to the pressure you put on him, it should all be true."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Sit down and eat. Only when you're full can you have the energy to work." Lu Bei took the embroidered knife and placed it on the table, urging She Xuan to sit down and eat quickly.

"What work?" She Xuan was puzzled and didn't touch her chopsticks much after sitting down.

As an Innate Realm Transcendent, She Xuan's body had its own circulation of spiritual energy, filled with the essence of the sun and moon, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She could replace food with qi, and she had already stepped into the threshold of longevity.

Commonly known as fasting.

As for how powerful it was...

Let's put it this way, a little fairy who reached this realm could proudly refute those who talked about breaking or spraying things. Not only did this fairy not need to defecate, even her farts were pink.

"She Xuan, you know me. I'm known for keeping my word. Since I promised the lady, even if there are dangers tonight, I must keep my promise," Lu Bei quickly scooped up rice, proudly saying.

"Are you serious?" She Xuan asked.

"Cao Ke Can Go, I Can Also Go."

"Who is Cao?" She Xuan asked in confusion, still not believing it. Then she suddenly realized, "I know, the real culprit is the lady. The county magistrate loves her so much that he is willing to sacrifice his future to take the blame for her."

"Don't show off your intelligence. You used to be a naive little girl who was all about love and affection. Can't you think of something else?"

"I didn't..."

She Xuan's face turned red, and she argued in a low voice, saying things about the vicissitudes of the world and praising deep and meaningful love between couples, which made Lu Bei shake his head repeatedly.

She used to be a smart woman, but as soon as love was mentioned, her IQ plummeted.

It's also possible that she entered the Innate Realm and became absent-minded, thinking that problems could be solved with fists and not bothering to use her brain.

Lu Bei put down his chopsticks, patted his stomach, and stuffed the embroidery knife into She Xuan's arms. "Change your clothes. I'll accompany you to Madam's house. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll spend the night there."

"You'll accompany me?"

"Yes!"

Lu Bei clapped his hands and said naturally, "I'm known for keeping my word, and I'm also known for not being interested in women. With both qualities, tonight you'll disguise yourself as me. We'll switch identities, and I'll stand at the door to keep watch for the master."

So that's how it is.

She Xuan nodded secretly. Sure enough, as she had expected, this person was useless when given an opportunity.

The two changed clothes in the room. She Xuan disguised herself as Lu Bei, unable to change her height and body shape. She looked slightly cumbersome in the black brocade robe, but her long legs gave her an advantage. The clothes supported various styles, enough to deceive others on the night road.

Turning around, She Xuan saw that Lu Bei had already finished disguising himself and reached out to touch his face in confusion.

A cold, lifeless face. She couldn't find any seams for a human skin mask. Then she looked at the bulging chest of Lu Bei and instinctively reached out to grab it.

"You, you, you..."

She Xuan stepped back in shock, feeling the hardness mixed with softness. It felt the same as when she was entangled with a cloth strip, definitely not as simple as ordinary disguise techniques.

"What 'you' are you talking about? It was me who got groped!"

Lu Bei gave She Xuan a disdainful look and raised his hand to support the burden on his chest, casting a sympathetic glance. "To be honest, you've worked hard these years."

She Xuan didn't know what to say, her mouth twitched. "What kind of spell are you using? Even when you disguised yourself before..."

"It doesn't matter. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to learn it. Just focus on studying your snake skin disguise technique."

Lu Bei interrupted, furrowing his brows and circling around his big-chested brother, commenting, "Not bad, broad-minded, with my majestic demeanor. It's just that your waist is too thin. Put something in there to fill it up."

"Are you also filling it up?"

She Xuan persisted. If she hadn't seen Lu Bei's vigorous side, she would have doubted this person's true gender.

Lu Bei raised an eyebrow and smirked, "You're so curious. How about I show you by undoing it?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares." She Xuan raised her hand to her forehead and undid her belt, stuffing a few books inside.

"Don't be polite. It's not like it belongs to someone else. You're familiar with it, so give it a review and see if my transformation technique is real or not..."

"Shut up!"

...

After dusk, Lu Bei and She Xuan, who had switched identities, left the county government office. Before leaving, they specifically took a stroll in the backyard where Zhu Shiyun was imprisoned. They ordered five dead soldiers to guard him closely and strictly forbade anyone from meeting Zhu Shiyun tonight.

Amidst angry curses, Lu Bei, with a dead man's face, carried a lantern to lead the way, followed by She Xuan, who had the appearance of a lecherous thief.

Believe it or not, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even though her intelligence has recently declined significantly, her acting skills are still top-notch. When she met Zhu Shiyun, that faint smile on her face, with three parts smugness, three parts contempt, and four parts restlessness, portrayed a villainous lecherous thief who sought personal gain with power. Lu Bei almost couldn't resist punching her.

"She Xuan, your acting is amazing. I almost drew my sword back then."

"I learned from someone." She Xuan sighed with nostalgia.

"Who?"

Lu Bei tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife. "Tell me, I'll go kill him."

"That person used the source of bloodline to threaten me, forcing me to make a blood oath. I can't forget that ugly face." She Xuan spoke softly, her gaze fixed on Lu Bei, waiting for him to avenge her.

"Truly despicable."

Lu Bei spat on the ground in anger and then comforted her, "She Xuan, be more accepting. We still have a long way to go. I advise you to resign yourself."

If I don't resign myself, I would have died with you a long time ago!

She Xuan's voice was filled with resentment as she spoke, "Since you believe that the county magistrate and his wife are innocent, why go through all this trouble to put on a show for someone?"

"I don't know, but as long as someone is watching, that person must have a problem."

Lu Bei concluded. He was an old hand in the workplace, skilled at slacking off and avoiding work. He had no theoretical knowledge or professional experience in investigating cases. Finding the real culprit could only be achieved through unconventional means. As the saying goes, the black cat that can catch mice must be a good one.

"Did we go too far with the acting? The county magistrate and his wife have a deep bond. By humiliating him like this..."

"I gave him a chance, and besides, he is not without any suspicion."

Lu Bei was not at all guilty. The four people who died, the county magistrate, the chief clerk, the county officer, and the head catcher, were all powerful figures in Langwu County. Especially the chief clerk, commonly known as the teacher, was the confidant of the county magistrate Zhu Shiyun. Others could say that they died due to differences in political views, but only the chief clerk couldn't.

Lu Bei concluded that these people must have sensed some secret, which led to their untimely deaths. Zhu Shiyun, as the head of the county, must also know something.

A dead duck can still have a hard mouth. Can he be tougher than Lu Bei?

Tonight, meet the wife. Tomorrow night, meet again. The night after tomorrow, continue. One month later...

Congratulations, Lord Zhu, your wife is pregnant!

To be honest, even the most patient person couldn't bear such good news. If Zhu Shiyun had any sense of dignity left, he would definitely break down on the spot.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei's mind jumped, and he came up with another plan. He would tell Zhu Shiyun tomorrow that he had been away from home for half a year, and his wife had been pregnant for three months.

"There's one more thing..."

She Xuan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "What should I do if the wife believes it's true when I pretend to be you? How should I handle it?"

"Just go along with her."

Lu Bei shrugged. Since it was all acting, once the door was closed, he could shout a few times, and who knew what would happen inside.

You make it sound so easy!

She Xuan gritted her teeth and, after a while, said, "The wife is experienced, and I... only know half of it. I'm sure I'll slip up."

"You were careless. I was too focused on eating and forgot about this. We should practice when changing clothes."

Lu Bei stomped his feet repeatedly, annoyed. In the moment when She Xuan held the knife with a cold face, he quickly took out a packet of powder from his pocket. "This packet of 'Fairy Don't Stop' is for you. Find an opportunity to put it in the wife's tea. When the drug takes effect, you can hide and she will go find Mr. Jiao on her own."

"Get away from me, stay far away. Don't come near me."

She Xuan pushed away Lu Bei's hand. She could tell it wasn't something good just by the touch.

"She Xuan, I know you despise it, but so do I."

Lu Bei looked helpless. "But you can't do this or that. If we don't use this last resort, tonight will truly be a woman divorcing her husband multiple times."

"What do you mean?"

"All previous efforts will be in vain."

"..."

She Xuan rolled her eyes and couldn't be bothered to deal with Lu Bei. She lowered her head and quickened her pace.

Lu Bei sighed and thought to himself that this older sister was more domineering than him on the outside, and she didn't even have a bit of face. He caught up and said, "Okay, let's not make it difficult for you. Tonight, you and the wife will only talk about romance, not life. Play the role of a lecherous ghost who is flirtatious but not vulgar."

"What do you mean?"

"Just hold hands, don't take off your clothes. A tasteful lecherous ghost emphasizes a gradual approach. You want the person and their heart."

"Lady She, how do you know so much?" She Xuan's expression changed slightly.

"I often go to Four Thorns Peak to catch geese. I often hear Master Ding boasting about his glorious deeds. I'm familiar with it." Lu Bei spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"Master Ding is not a good person. Don't go to Four Thorns Peak in the future. Let's raise geese ourselves."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
