Since Lily is determined to pretend to make Zhu Jiu like her and teach her, she must be willing to work hard like a slave.

However, she had already assumed the greatest malice towards Zhu Jiu, but she still underestimated the extent of his evil deeds.

She has been tormenting Lily day and night for half a month.

In addition to being very picky about food, he also has to drink tea at a specific temperature, anything less will not do.

Lily had to use her spiritual power to warm herself up all the time, but the spiritual power would eventually run out. The mental skills and martial arts she cultivated all came from her father, a casual cultivator. How good could he be?

Putting this aside, since she was trapped in Jialan City at the age of nine, she had to rely on her own exploration for cultivation and had no experience in the techniques of circulating spiritual energy.

So at midnight on the first day, Zhu Jiu didn't drink the 99-degree tea. She leaned against the bed and looked at Baihe with disappointed eyes.

What could Lily do? She could only admit her mistake, apologize, write a letter of guarantee, and then say she would do it again next time.

Zhu Jiu naturally refused to let her go, and casually took out a scripture with an ancient indigo cover from his storage ring, "Read it carefully and study hard."

Lily's eyes sparkled, and all the fatigue from a whole day's work was swept away.

So good? She got what she wanted on the first day? She said that since Zhu Jiu could give her advice, she must be a good person, right?

She suppressed her excitement, stretched out her hands and bowed reverently, and carefully took her first high-end Heart Sutra.

"Eighteen Postures of the Divine".

Look, it’s both god and immortal, what a domineering name. It’s worthy of being something this mysterious woman took out, it’s awesome.

She has inherited this legacy, so she can't curse her in her heart.

At most, I will shed a few tears when I run away with my inheritance after I have learned a lot.

Lily's expression became more solemn. She opened the first page with a pilgrimage mood, and saw a naked man and woman lying prone with dazed expressions and slightly open lips.

"..."

She didn't give up and took another look. She saw detailed acupuncture points and meridian annotations marked on the naked body - for massage.

"..."

The hanging heart finally died.

She knew that Zhu Jiu would not give her good things so easily!

Lily closed the book, expressionless.

Half a month.

Lily's purpose of secretly learning something made no progress, but she became more and more skilled in serving people.

In order to complete Zhu Jiu's various demanding requirements, she exhausted her physical, spiritual, and mental strength every day and was exhausted.

The key point is that he is asking for trouble by spending spirit stones. Even Feng Qingjue and Feng Zhiyi come to eat for free every day.

She really wanted to kill the whole world.

Don’t they feel guilty about bullying a twelve-year-old beggar?

I can't work for a day.

Fortunately, Feng Zhiyi and Feng Qingjue are not Zhu Jiu after all. Feng Qingjue will give her some medicinal herbs and elixirs later, which she can sell in exchange for some spirit stones, so at least the income and expenditure will be balanced.

In addition to this, she was also given a collection of basic knowledge on formations. Compared to professions such as talismans and elixirs which require a large amount of resources invested in the early stages, the formation master is the one that ordinary people are most likely to achieve.

What's more, it was given by the city lord. Jialan City has not had a formation master for so many years. The city lord was responsible for the formation of the key pass of Jialan City from scratch. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a formation wizard.

Lily was overjoyed and practiced day and night, determined to keep her promise and draw a spirit gathering array for Zhu Jiu to let her see her own value.

Unfortunately, after spending half a month on it during his spare time, and under the personal guidance of Feng Qingjue, he drew a thousand but only one was successful, and it was a low-grade semi-finished product of yellow quality. It was really useless, but it was not a pity to throw it away.

Lily didn't have the courage to show her hand in front of Zhu Jiu and embarrass herself.

Young City Lord Feng Zhi wanted to teach her how to practice sword. Lily was very excited and determined to let Zhu Jiu see her potential in swordsmanship and then have him look at her with new eyes.

But sadly she found...

I couldn't understand what I heard and I couldn't learn it. After half a month, I was still stuck on the first basic sword move.

When Feng Zhiyi approached with a stubborn look as if to say "I just don't believe I can't teach her", Lily firmly stated that she was not worthy of swordplay.

From then on, he bid farewell to the profession of swordsmanship in frustration and defeat.

Late at night, she thought of the shocking scenes of Zhu Jiu slaying the monster with one sword and suppressing the army with one word, and then thought of her own tragic life of ups and downs in the short twelve years. She bit the mop rag, squatted in the corner with her knees hugged, and cried silently.

Break the defense.

When there were no opportunities, she could only complain about the unfairness of God, but when opportunities were right in front of her, she still lost them again and again.

I can only blame myself.

Dreams and innocence will eventually die slowly under the grinding of reality.

We are just racking our brains to survive, why expect more?

There are not so many geniuses in the world.

She has no potential and no value at all, she can only work. No wonder Zhu Jiu didn't give him any guidance in half a month.

She doesn't deserve it.

……

The child huddled in the shadows and cried aggrievedly. On the steps, Zhu Jiuxian leaned against the stairs, folded her arms and looked down.

Half of the face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but the other half had a complexion as clear as ice and jade, with rosy lips, weak eyebrows, and deep eyes.

He turned around and walked up the stairs silently without saying anything.

Only the candles along the steps lit up one by one as she walked leisurely.

The man and the lamp moved up and down, and when Zhu Jiu arrived at the door, the light happened to be next to Lily.

The latter, with tearful eyes, saw the bright orange light shining on the ground. She thought Zhu Jiu had come and jumped up in surprise, frantically thinking of an excuse to cover up her mistake.

I looked up but didn't see anyone. Only the lights on the steps were gently and dimly shining in the dark room, dispelling some of the coldness and indicating that she had been there.

……

Lily gave up the idea of ​​inheriting Zhu Jiu's inheritance and worked honestly. All she wanted was to stay in the City Lord's Mansion and not be kicked out, so as to avoid being caught by Chunyan Tower.

One day, when she was about to go back after massaging Zhu Jiu's arm with the Eighteen Techniques, the latter stretched out his hand to block the sun and said lazily, "It's a pity that such a good technique is not used on yourself."

Lily thought to herself, how can I enjoy my life as leisurely as you do!

After returning, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he pointed himself to the Eighteen Postures.

In an instant, the spiritual energy in the meridians of the body seemed to be drawn and overflowed, ascending from the Dantian along the Du meridian, circulating through the body, and warming the limbs and bones bit by bit.

Some of the meridians that were not passed through even had a faint burning and numb feeling, as if all the chronic illnesses were cured, and the spiritual energy of the whole body was connected naturally and unobstructed, without any discomfort, and even with a relaxed mind and body.

Lily was shocked and full of energy, she was as happy as a god!

She was really blind and had misunderstood Zhu Jiu. This was clearly a painting of a precious spiritual heart sutra for beginners!

For Lily, who had been practicing with many flaws but was unaware of it, this was equivalent to filling in the missing foundation.

She already felt that her cultivation speed had increased three times, and the spiritual energy stored in her body was purer and more condensed, saturated and without the previous sense of emptiness.

Lily finished her exercise and sat on the bed, feeling extremely complicated and achy inside.

She thought Zhu Jiu didn't like her at all, but she didn't know that he had given her such a precious thing from the very beginning.

The next morning, when Zhu Jiu opened the door, he saw Lily standing straight at the door, like a corpse in a flowery dress.

"What are you doing? Kowtow again?"

The latter was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. He had planned to come and thank her, but when he actually met her, he suddenly couldn't say all the nice things he had done to please her in the past few days.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said in a dry voice, "Sister Zhu Jiu, you are really good at hiding."

Wow, why can't you just tell me the secrets? Why are you making up such a cryptic riddle? City people really know how to have fun!

Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "But your illusion skills have also improved a lot, haven't they?"

"Illusion? Isn't it a kind of flattery technique that is not worthy of being shown on the stage?"

Zhu Jiu took a step forward, passed the "Lily" in front of him, and patted the air. Suddenly, ripples appeared in the empty place.

Zhu Jiuyu's smooth hand fell on the other's thin shoulder, and she lowered her head with a smile towards the child's dark gaze.

"Isn't charm a kind of illusion?"

"Different paths lead to the same destination. There is no distinction between high and low. It only depends on how far you have walked. Congratulations, you have entered the illusory path of greed, anger, ignorance, separation and resentment."

"But if you use force at someone else's door early in the morning, you will be beaten."

"Go cook, Lily."

Lily was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the Tao was, but she felt inexplicably solemn and her heart was faintly excited.

She imitated Zhu Jiu's smile and also forced a smile. Her dark eyes were suddenly tainted with a hint of cunning, and her gloomy brows glowed with a hint of the playfulness and liveliness of a little girl.

"It's done, Sister Zhujiu."

"What is it?" Zhu Jiu walked downstairs, and Lily followed her with her hands behind her back, following the steps she had taken.

"Tofu Eight Immortals Soup, Lotus Root and Green Porridge..." Lily is very confident because she knows that these are what Zhu Jiu eats most often.

"I have no appetite, I don't want to eat."
