Seven days later, the two Yan brothers returned.

In the evening, Li Wanji was practicing sword in the courtyard, and Zhu Lian sent someone to summon her to have dinner.

She responded, immediately sheathed her sword, went back to her room to change her clothes, and went to the dining hall of Yulan Palace.

Yan Yuhe came back at the right time. Li Wanji was thinking about what reason she would use to ask Yan Yuhe to make medicine for her.

After all, this "Lingxi Pill" is not an ordinary pill, but a spiritual pill used to assist men and women in dual cultivation.

If this "Lingxi Pill" was used on Li Wanji and Yan Yuhe, it would be fine, but she prepared this pill in order to practice the "Yin Yang Twin Art" with Canglanzi.

In this way, asking Yan Yuhe to help with refining the elixir became a little subtle and complicated.

Yan Yuhe was not a fool, he must know the purpose of the Lingxi Pill, but she must not let him know that it was made for her to practice dual cultivation with another man, otherwise she would be courting death.

Li Wanji knew very well that it would be an extremely difficult task if she wanted Yan Yuhe to help her refine the Lingxi Pill without revealing its true purpose.

She secretly wondered how to cleverly circumvent this point and make Yan Yuhe willingly make pills for her.

Before she knew it, Li Wanji had arrived at the dining hall.

When Yan Yuhe saw Li Wanji, his eyes instantly brightened and the smile on his lips became more obvious. He took the initiative to come forward, bowed politely, and said, "Wanji, you are here."

Li Wanji bowed politely and smiled back, only then did she realize that Canglanzi was also here!

He was sitting at the table sipping tea, his body relaxed and his expression calm, as if he was not surprised by Li Wanji's arrival.

"Wanji greets the master." Li Wanji stepped forward to pay her respects, but she was secretly thinking in her heart, why is this "Ashura" so lingering and why is he everywhere?

Canglanzi nodded slightly as a return gesture, but didn't say much.

His gaze lingered on Li Wanji for a moment, then moved away, as if it was just a casual glance with no special meaning.

In the current situation, Li Wanji thought it would be difficult to avoid revealing any flaws, and she would need to find another opportunity to discuss the matter of alchemy with Yan Yuhe in private.

"My brother said that he missed my cooking skills as a chef in Yulan Palace, so I invited him to come and have dinner with me. I hope Wan Ji won't mind?" Yan Yuhe said.

He just noticed that Li Wanji's gaze paused on Canglanzi for a moment. He knew that she might be a little surprised, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Master, I am naturally very welcome to come. Why would I mind?" Li Wanji calmed down, smiled and responded appropriately.

She didn't want to show excessive concern for Canglanzi, so as not to arouse Yan Yuhe's suspicion.

Li Wanji was also very clear about the reason why Canglanzi came to Yulan Palace. He just wanted to play the game of "cat and mouse" and watch her reveal her true colors in front of Yan Yuhe.

Li Wanji sneered secretly. She wanted to see what tricks this "Ashura" was trying to play.

She adjusted her skirt and sat down next to Yan Yuhe.

Yan Yuhe personally poured a glass of wine for Li Wanji and said softly, "Wanji, this is the spiritual fruit wine I brought back from Moon Bay. It tastes sweet. Try it."

Li Wanji took the wine glass and took a sip. The fruity aroma and the wine aroma intertwined together. It was indeed a good wine. She looked up and smiled at Yan Yuhe, saying, "Thank you, Yuhe. This wine is indeed delicious."

Canglanzi was quietly observing the interaction between the two people. A hint of sadness appeared faintly on his calm face, and a few sharp cold rays suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Yuhe, you worked so hard to repair the magic circle this time, but you still rushed to the border to find good things for Miss Li. It seems that she is really very meaningful to you."

Canglanzi put down the teacup in his hand, his voice was neither salty nor bland, but with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm.

Yan Yuhe didn't seem to realize the deep meaning in Canglanzi's words. He just smiled gently and said, "If you meet a girl you like in the future, you will naturally understand my feelings."

When Canglanzi heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Li Wanji was observing the two of them quietly from the side, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

She knew that Canglanzi's words were not unintentional, but were meant to test Yan Yuhe's attitude towards her.

Although Yan Yuhe's answer was gentle, it also revealed his cherishment and affection for her.

Li Wanji didn't want to cause any trouble, so she took the opportunity to change the subject: "Yuhe, did you guys have a smooth time repairing the magic circle this time?"

Yan Yuhe replied: "Thanks to my brother's help, the magic circle has been successfully repaired, and the people in the border areas can live in peace."

Li Wanji nodded to show her satisfaction and said, "That's great. You have done a great thing for the people of the world. You are truly a role model for our generation of monks."

"Look at what Wanji said. They are the people of my mermaid tribe. I should protect their safety." Yan Yuhe shook his head and laughed, his eyes revealing his doting for Li Wanji.

During the dinner, Li Wanji was always careful to maintain the delicate relationship between the three of them, acting neither too close nor too distant to Yan Yuhe, and being very courteous to Canglanzi.

Li Wanji is not a blank slate. If she is too affectionate with Yan Yuhe, it may irritate Canglanzi and make him provoke her even more unscrupulously.

However, if he became too close to Canglanzi, it would arouse Yan Yuhe's suspicion and expose their secret relationship.

Therefore, she never talked about her feelings. Whenever she talked about them, she would just touch on them briefly and cleverly divert the topic to other harmless aspects.

Li Wanji seemed to be dealing with the two people calmly, but in fact she was walking on thin ice. Every word and every action needed to be carefully considered, for fear of revealing any flaws.

Yan Yuhe seems gentle and elegant, but Li Wanji knows that he is meticulous and observant, and he may see through any clues if she is not careful.

Canglanzi is even more unpredictable. There is always some inexplicable depth in his words that makes people unable to figure it out.

Seeing that she could still chat and laugh in such an occasion, respond in a well-controlled manner, and always keep a sense of propriety just right, Canglanzi couldn't help but look up to her a little more.

But looking up to him was one thing, but he also felt unhappy at the way the two brothers were being manipulated at will.

He wanted to see how long this woman could pretend.

Canglanzi's eyes darkened slightly, but the smile on his face became deeper.

He quietly cast a spell under the table, and the hem of Li Wanji's skirt lifted up slightly, revealing half of her fair calves hidden under the skirt. The string of bells on her ankles swayed gently, making a tiny sound.

Li Wanji was extremely embarrassed and angry. This Canglanzi was so dissolute that he could tease her like this in such an occasion!

She adjusted her sitting position slightly and calmly pushed the hem of her skirt back into place. At the same time, she used her mental skills to try to suppress the tingling sensations coming from her ankles.

However, Canglanzi's cultivation is higher than hers, so how could his magic be cracked so easily?
