After changing her appearance, Mu Yunqing was completely different from the cold and otherworldly beauty who could only be admired from afar.
In her new identity of "Shishi", she exudes a natural charm, and every part of her is breathtakingly beautiful from the inside out.
Ji Yao asked Mu Yunqing to cover her face because she had some selfish motives: she didn't want others to see it.
Ji Yao then found Lin Bugou, and after some negotiations, she took back what she needed, and returned to Mu Yunqing again, handing her a pill: "Here, take it."
Mu Yunqing's eyelids twitched slightly, and she was obviously a little surprised by this sudden action.
Ji Yao coughed lightly and said frankly, "I prepared the contraceptive pills especially for you. Take this one, and there are three left."
Hearing this, Mu Yunqing frowned slightly, his eyes cold: "Three? Hmm?"
Ji Yao quickly explained: "Who knows when we can find the antidote? If something unexpected happens, it is best for you to... ensure that you are not implicated. It is best to minimize the losses."
"Master, you... you don't want to carry my cub!"
After saying that, Ji Yao stuffed the medicine bottle into Mu Yunqing's hand, turned around and ran away.
Mu Yunqing's cheeks flushed again, and her eyes turned cold in an instant: That damn witch is trying to destroy her Taoism again!
However, she had considered this contraceptive pill carefully, so she finally decided to swallow one.
The group set out on the journey back to the Hehuan Sect.
On the only carriage, Gong Chengjue, as the young master of the sect, naturally took a seat.
And considering that Hua Man once saved her life, this honor was naturally open to her, but Ji Yao and Mu Yun were not allowed to discuss it.
Seeing this, Hua Man felt a surge of pity in her heart, and she called out to Mu Yunqing softly, "Shishi, come up and ride with me."
Mu Yunqing sat in the car gracefully.
Gong Chengjue looked at Mu Yunqing for one more second, and confirmed again and again that his cultivation level was just average and it was definitely not Mu Yunqing in disguise, and then he looked away.
Hua Man's eyes were gentle, and she asked with concern: "Shishi, how were you caught? Don't worry, when I can escape one day, I will take you away."
Gong Chengjue listened to this conversation, a hint of amusement flashed across his brows, and he was so angry that he laughed.
"Aren't you too presumptuous to discuss a plan of escape in front of this young master?"
But in his heart, he was thinking something else: "Could it be that this little girl has developed feelings for me? Just tell me and see if I will try to keep her? And ruin her plans? It seems like I have to be gentler to her, lest she really runs away on impulse."
Faced with the sudden question, Mu Yunqing didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She is not good at lying and is quite embarrassed.
Ji Yao, who was driving, quickly spoke up to help, her voice a little hurried: "Actually, it was like this, she was getting married that day, and on her wedding night, under the veil, she thought it was me she was going to tie the knot with, so..."
Mu Yunqing's forehead twitched: There really wasn't a single truth coming out of that witch's mouth.
After hearing this, Hua Man could not hide her anger: Witch, you are so cunning! You actually did something like breaking up lovers, how abominable!
Gong Chengjue shook his head slightly, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Ji Yao, what you did was really not decent."
Hua Man refuted without showing any weakness: "She is not honest. You are from the same sect, birds of a feather, aren't you the same kind of people?"
Gong Chengjue was amused when he heard this, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This young master is different from her. What I pursue is..."
Having said this, she suddenly paused, and the unfinished words seemed to be blown away by the wind, leaving people with endless reverie.
The atmosphere was eerily silent.
Ji Yao sneered at the side and thought to herself: Gong Chengjue, the young master of the Hehuan Sect, is really peculiar. In that complicated Hehuan Sect, as a young master, what she yearns for is a lifelong love between two people, and she is determined to change the messy atmosphere of the Hehuan Sect.
If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.
Gong Chengjue spoke again, his tone filled with confidence and pride: "My talent is so outstanding, and my cultivation is already unfathomable. Why do I need to rely on any furnace to improve my cultivation?"
As she spoke, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept across the flower vines, as if provoking, but also as if encouraging: "So, with your shallow cultivation, why should you be afraid?"
Hua Man was provoked by this, and a look of unwillingness to admit defeat appeared on her face: "You said my cultivation is not good enough? I... I will definitely work harder and practice diligently!"
His words revealed a tenacity and stubbornness.
After saying that, I felt something was wrong. Why did I practice so hard? Why did I rush to make a furnace? Humph, I was angry.
Gong Chengjue chuckled, but his heart was in turmoil: "She is determined to improve herself in order to be a furnace for me. It seems that this little girl's heart has indeed been secretly captured by me."
Ji Yao, who was driving the carriage, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth inadvertently, and a hint of helplessness and amusement flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, she was well aware of Gong Chengjue's ability to direct and act in his own show and indulge himself along the way.
In the original novel, the bond between Hua Man and Gong Chengjue was largely due to Gong Chengjue's ridiculous self-motivation and perseverance.
Mu Yunqing, who was observing quietly at the side, couldn't help but feel a little incredible, as his eyes moved back and forth between the evil and unruly Gong Chengjue and the righteous Hua Man who wanted to practice but didn't want to practice.
Gong Chengjue actually took out delicious food to coax Hua Man?
And who could have thought that Immortal Master Yun Qing of Lingxiao Sect could actually sit at the same table with people from Hehuan Sect, and even began to feel that the other party was not as hateful as rumored by the outside world?
However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she rationally suppressed it.
No, the witch from the Hehuan Sect is good at disguise. She must take the time to wake Hua Man up, lest she be deceived by Gong Chengjue.
As for Mu Yunqing herself, she was also vaguely worried. She didn't know if it was the influence of the Hehuan Powder, but even her own Taoism seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
We must find the antidote as soon as possible to completely break free from the shackles of the Hehuan Sect.
As night fell, the group arrived at a bustling city.
As cultivators from all corners of the world gathered together in Lingxiao Sect, and the Immortal Sect Competition in a month attracted countless people to arrive early, the inns in the city became extremely popular, and almost every inch of space was fully utilized.
Fortunately, after some searching, they found the last two guest rooms: one was a spacious and luxurious suite, and the other was an ordinary single room.
Hua Man was quick to speak and announced bluntly: "I want to live with Shishi, so you two can squeeze in!"
With this sudden "arrangement", the large suite naturally became the property of Gong Chengjue, the self-important young master of the Hehuan Sect.
She even pointed at Hua Man proudly, with a playful smile on her lips: "You are my personal maid, so you naturally have to follow me."
He pointed at Ji Yao and Mu Yunqing and said, "They have both eaten everything, so of course it's appropriate for them to sleep together."
Although these words were frivolous, they also revealed the subtle relationship between the four people.
Hearing this, Mu Yunqing's eyes involuntarily turned a little colder.
Ji Yao quickly smoothed things over: "Then let's decide. When you're out, you can do whatever you want."
After entering the room, Ji Yao immediately said in a flattering tone: "Master, please lie down on the bed and have a good rest. I plan to meditate and practice tonight."
Mu Yunqing didn't answer. Ji Yao made the bed for Mu Yunqing and then slept on the floor for herself.
While explaining, "You also know that my cultivation is temporarily suppressed with the help of secret medicine, but since I have decided to return to the Hehuan Sect, there may be dangers on the road, so I must use this time to refine the antidote and restore my true cultivation as soon as possible so that I can protect you in times of crisis."
Mu Yunqing wondered in her heart - after Ji Yao regained her cultivation, would he force her to be the cauldron?
Although the Wangshu Sword was disassembled into its original double sword form in order to avoid being recognized, his own cultivation level was insufficient and he was unable to wield such a magical weapon.
As she was worried, her gaze involuntarily turned to Ji Yao beside her. Should she just kill her when she was not prepared?
But then Ji Yao, who was sleeping on the floor with her butt sticking out, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I won't turn you into a furnace. And I will protect you wholeheartedly."
She turned around and smiled with clear eyes: "So, that antidote...give me one first, so that I won't be able to protect you if the poison takes effect when you are in danger."
Mu Yunqing was confused when he heard this, but then it suddenly dawned on him that Ji Yao really had regarded the sugar pill as poison. This showed how strong her desire to survive was and she really valued her life.
She couldn't help but laugh and continued, "Oh? The antidote, one pill a month, no need to worry."
Ji Yao nodded respectfully: "Okay, Master."
But in my heart I thought: Of course she knew it was a sugar pill, but she still put on a full show!
At nightfall, a disciple from the Suzaku Hall hurried to Gong Chengjue and reported: "Young Master, the Sect Master will come out of seclusion in five days."
Gong Chengjue frowned slightly when he heard this.
Five days is enough time for them to return to the sect.
But wouldn't Ji Yao's outspoken and fence-sitter character sooner or later reveal that she had secretly sent undercover agents into Lingxiao Sect, and even leak the news of the accidental deaths of two capable assistants, Wang Su and Fathead Fish, to her mother?
Wang Su was arranged by her mother, and she was also the daughter of Zuo Hufa.
Her mother has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Once she finds out the truth, she will definitely severely punish her for acting on her own.
Therefore, Ji Yao must not be allowed to return to the sect!
Gong Chengjue's mind raced, and he immediately asked the Suzaku Hall disciple, "Which hall in the sect is currently the busiest and in urgent need of manpower?"
The disciple replied, "The Left Protector has ordered that the Azure Dragon Hall and the Vermillion Bird Hall must work together to divide the various sects and factions in order to disrupt the conspiracy of those immortal sects to unite and suppress our sect."
Upon hearing this, Gong Chengjue raised a meaningful smile and thought to himself:
Tsk tsk, Ji Yao, don’t go back to the headquarters. I will find a good place for you!
