"Let's have a discussion."
Yu Shu had been sitting in Qiongyu for so many days, and she and Ji Xingxuan had always ignored each other. Now that she was suddenly stopped by her and opened her mouth to talk, Yu Shu subconsciously became vigilant.
"There's nothing for us to discuss."
Yu Shu directly bypassed Ji Xingxuan and walked out the door. She had only taken two steps when she heard someone say behind her, "I wasn't feeling well in the morning the day before yesterday, so I went to the back room to rest. Who knew that it would be noisy next door, and through the wall, I actually heard a good show. It was very interesting."
Yu Shu's body froze, and her expression changed. She slowly turned around and looked at Ji Xingxuan. On one hand, she was trying to discern whether she was speaking the truth, but on the other hand, she didn't believe that it was such a coincidence that she had eavesdropped on the wall the day before yesterday.
It was unknown when the green veil covering Ji Xingxuan's face had been taken off, revealing an extremely elegant face. She was a typical water beauty, and every frown and every smile was as gentle as water. Especially her pair of eyes, which were full of quiet, could cause one's heart to sway, and give birth to a desire to get close to her.
If Yu Shu didn't know that Ji Xingxuan, this beauty, was born with a selfish and cold temperament, just looking at her face would make it hard for her to feel hostile.
"Oh? What show did you see? Tell me, I want to hear it. "
Ji Xingxuan chuckled, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't know that Miss Lianfang has a Daoist Master. If you are referring to Daoist Priest Qing Zheng, then I can tell you that he is indeed a Daoist Master, but he can't be compared to those few Daoist Masters of the Greater One Path. How can he speak for you in front of His Majesty? "
She caught the stiffness in Yu Shu's expression and stopped smiling. She asked again in a playful tone, "Can we discuss it now?"
Hearing what Ji Xingxuan said, Yu Shu didn't show any signs of impatience on her face, but she was annoyed in her heart. It didn't matter who heard what she said to Liu Yi that day. If someone found out, at most, she wouldn't admit to it. However, Ji Xingxuan knew her background, so she used her as a scapegoat. It would be strange if he didn't use this opportunity to threaten them.
It was a good day for her to go out in the morning and look at the lunar calendar. Casting the hexagram was also a good omen. Who would have thought that there was a villain waiting here?
"What do we have to discuss? Tell me."
Ji Xingxuan was no longer in a hurry to speak. She lowered her head and flicked her sleeves. She raised her eyebrows and said casually, "You seem to have forgotten that I am now a Da Yi Master. Why didn't you greet me when you saw me?"
There was a difference in status among the Yi Masters. The Yi Masters who passed the Da Yan Examination would have their names recorded in the Celestial Commissioner's Office. A Da Yi Master would receive the imperial court's tribute. Even a normal Yi Master would have to show respect to a Da Yi Master, not to mention a Da Yi Master who could set up his own office.
Yu Shu gritted her teeth. She saw that Ji Xingxuan was deliberately making things difficult for her. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she knew that she could not. She could only endure it. She thought that she would not die if she paid her respects, so she raised her hands and bowed. She lowered her head and raised her forehead. She said unhappily, "Student Yu Shu greets Teacher Ji."
Ji Xingxuan suddenly smiled. Seeing that Yu Shu lowered her head, her eyes showed a trace of pleasure. She pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Follow me."
Yu Shu doesn't want to talk to her here, so she doesn't follow her. She doesn't want to talk to her here. She doesn't want to follow her. Instead, she turned around and walked towards the staircase.
"Let's talk downstairs."
She went downstairs on her own. She was not worried that Ji Xingxuan would not follow her.
Qiongyu Tower faced the bank of the Chunlan River. Behind the tower was a small garden. There was no one around, so it was much quieter.
Ji Xingxuan followed Yu Shu to an old banyan tree and saw her turn around. She turned around and stopped.
"This is it. Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Yu Shu's tone was not good. Ji Xingxuan did not care. She raised her head to look at the layers of branches of the banyan tree. She slowly said, "You only taught me half of the [Six Lines Wondrous Art]. Other than the general principles, there should be a few other corresponding incantations. Also, Little Qiao, hand them to me. If you don't want to deceive me, I will let you go this time."
Yu Shu blinked her eyes when she heard Ji Xingxuan's conditions. She suddenly smiled and looked at Ji Xingxuan. She said mockingly, "Back then, I promised to teach you, but you didn't learn from me. Instead, you just wanted to frame me. Now that things have come to this, you're threatening me and forcing me to give in. Dream on. "
Ji Xingxuan's gaze fell back onto Yu Shu's face. Seeing that Yu Shu was unwilling to cooperate, she wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she said coldly and faintly, "Then I can only tell His Highness Ning Wang the truth about you deceiving the Eleventh Imperial Prince. Offending your superiors, improper conduct, having an affair with an imperial prince, any of these are enough for you to lose a layer of skin. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Eleventh Imperial Prince is not someone to be trifled with. If he finds out that you fell for your trick, he will suffer for nothing. He will have ways to punish you. Maybe he will use that day's matter to take you as a concubine and torture you when you return. You are just a merchant who has not finished his apprenticeship and is not from a noble family. Do you think you can refute him? I want to see if you can still smile at that time. "
When Yu Shu heard Ji Xingxuan's malicious words, she couldn't help but frown. She knew that Ji Xingxuan wasn't just trying to scare her. Liu Yi, that unscrupulous bastard, was really capable of doing such a wicked thing.
Thinking that she could be forcefully taken back by that kind of shameless person to be a concubine, Yu Shu wanted to vomit the food she ate the night before.
"How about it? Have you thought it through? Is the Six Line Divination Technique more important, or is it you? You're a smart person, so you shouldn't be confused." Ji Xingxuan calmly waited for Yu Shu's answer, as she was sure that she wouldn't refuse her request.
Yu Shu's brows furrowed and then relaxed. Looking at the young girl in front of her who was an enemy and not a friend, she slowly nodded and said, "You are right. How could I be confused?"
Finishing, she took a step forward without warning. Her eyes did not look sideways as she walked past Ji Xingxuan. Without another word, she wanted to leave.
Ji Xingxuan was stunned. She quickly turned around and called out to Yu Shu with an ugly expression, "Are you not going to promise me?"
Yu Shu stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. She only raised her voice and said coldly, "Since you know that I am a smart person, why would you still ask such a stupid question? Could it be that if I give you the Six Lines Divination Diagram, you won't talk nonsense to others? If I promise you, then I am the one who is stupid. Hmph, if I am stupid, the ones who were sent to prison by the Celestial Commissioner to await death would not be you and your granddaughter. Lord Ji would still be doing his job as the Magistrate of the Right. How could he become a dead man just to protect you? "
Ji Xingxuan's face turned pale after hearing Yu Shu's words. Especially the last sentence, it was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
"What happened that day, if you want to say it, just say it. Let's see if I will be at your mercy as you wish."
Yu Shu sneered and went upstairs without looking back, leaving Ji Xingxuan standing alone under the tree. Her face turned green and then red. She held the tree trunk to steady her feet.
After a long while, she muttered to herself, "Then I will see if you will … die a horrible death as I wish."
