Chapter 292 The Little Appraiser is in "Big" Trouble
"The wind is cold and the snow is heavy, Young Master Ji, please wait."

"Then please take care, everyone."

Peng Dongyang and the other three bowed slightly, then opened their oil-paper umbrellas and stepped into the snowy night.

Ji You then looked at Kuang Cheng, who was following behind with an umbrella: "After the lantern festival tomorrow night, remember to bring Miss Rui'er to our house for dinner."

"I'll do whatever Brother Ji says."

"Drive slowly."

Kuang Cheng opened his umbrella: "It's just a few steps, Brother Ji, don't worry."

Ji You nodded, then stood in front of the door, watching Kuang Cheng walk into the snow.

As the footprints gradually spread out in the snow and the scholar's figure disappeared, he glanced at the distance along the street.

In ordinary times, the city of Shengjing under the night sky would surely appear quiet and profound, but with the arrival of the new year, there is the faint light of paper lanterns hanging in the air, making it look like a continuous line of lights, a scene of peace and harmony.

From time to time, patrolling soldiers could be seen walking along the street, passing under the high walls, whispering among themselves, their faces relaxed and happy.

Upon seeing this, Ji You frowned slightly.

Although the New Year is an extremely lively festival, carrying the hopes of tens of thousands of people across the land for a prosperous and peaceful year ahead, the New Year has never actually been a peaceful one.

Just like the New Year's Eve of the year he came to the Heavenly Academy, the daughter of the Dan Sect went missing, and evil seeds caused havoc.

According to the calculations based on the investigation, the Bu family first transformed into evil beings around the time of the New Yuan Dynasty.

Ji You only hoped that this year's New Year could be passed peacefully, without sowing the seeds of disaster for the coming year. Then she turned around and went back to the courtyard, only to remember that the arrogant ghost was still in the house.

The tea table that had been placed in the hall had been moved to the side of the stove, and Yan Shuyi was sitting barefoot in the hall, skillfully peeling sweet potatoes.

Upon seeing Ji You return, the young appraiser couldn't help but look up: "Why did it take so long to deliver it?"

Ji You sat down next to her and warmed her hands: "It's probably because too many things have happened in Xinyuan in recent years. Just now, looking at Shengjing under the night sky, I felt uneasy. Do the sect outside Lingjian Mountain have any news about those old guys?"

“Those who returned from the Dongping Mountains but did not return to their clan have now returned to Qingzhou and are currently appearing in the southwest of Qingzhou.”

"Qingzhou, have they gone back to the Chabu family again?"

"They all have little time left to live, and it seems they have staked their remaining years on the Bu family."

Ji You and Yan Shuyi had discussed in Anyuan City that the Bu family line should have been broken.

Because they appeared out of thin air, and then were exposed out of thin air, and this word "out of thin air" is the most ethereal and elusive, leaving no trace.

Even now, no one can say for sure whether the main branch of the Bu family is related to this matter.

Even so, for those decaying old people, this was still a greater hope than the slim chance of breaking through their current level that they had been unable to achieve for decades.

The seven great immortal sects are high above each other, and they do not distinguish between themselves. They each act independently and do not obey each other's orders. Almost no one can stop them from doing whatever they want.

Fortunately, Yan Shu could also send someone to keep an eye on things to prevent any unforeseen changes or crises.

After thinking for a long time, Ji You noticed that it was getting darker outside and couldn't help but look at Yan Shuyi: "It's so late, aren't you going back?"

Yan Shuyi moved his feet slightly: "I was busy cultivating the Tao at noon today and did not come. Now that I am here, I intend to sit for a while longer."

"I had something I was planning to tell you tomorrow, but since you're here, I won't make another trip. After we put up the couplets tomorrow morning, I'll take you out for a stroll, and we'll have dinner together in the evening. Kuang Cheng will be coming too. What would you like to eat?"

"The one made by grinding peanuts and beans."

"anything else?"

Yan Shuyi raised her eyes: "Hot and sour shredded potatoes."

The young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain looked like he had never eaten anything good before, and when asked what he wanted to eat, he said hot and sour shredded potatoes.

Ji You agreed to her order, then looked up curiously: "I just realized that Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu didn't come with you this time?"

"The streets have been quite lively these past few days. I don't know where the two of them went to play. I haven't seen either of them all day."

"Really?"

"real……"

Upon hearing that she was alone, Ji You narrowed her eyes: "Be careful, or you might not be able to get back later..."

Yan Shuyi muttered to herself, "Bold stranger, be careful your back might hurt later..."

"?"

A sharp glint flashed in Yan Shuyi's eyes, and he calmly poured him a cup of tea from the pot.

Chatting with the Immortal Supervisor had already made her thirsty, and the stove would also evaporate her body's moisture, so Ji You didn't think much of it and took the teacup to drink.

He drank half the tea, left the other half, and then held it to Yan Shuyi's lips.

The young appraiser instinctively wanted to take a sip, but then realized something was wrong and gently pushed the drink back to Ji You's lips, urging him to finish it.

"I remember when the Director of the Imperial Sacrifices left, the tea in the teapot had already gone cold?"

"I brewed it again."

Ji You looked at him, holding the teacup: "Did you brew this again for me?"

Yan Shuyi nodded obediently: "The temperature is just right."

"What Peng Dongyang said seems to be true. Why are you being so well-behaved today?"

"You have prepared food for me for many days. Although I am aloof from emotions and love, it would be too impolite to treat you coldly all the time. So I will reward you with a cup of tea."

After Ji You finished her tea, she handed the cup back to her. Then she saw Yan Shuyi put down the teacup, gently raise her arms that were at her sides, and look at her with a cold and arrogant gaze.

Want another hug?
Then kiss?

Ji You watched her movements, a hint of cold arrogance appearing in his eyes, as if he had lost all feelings and love.

Yan Shuyi would run away after kissing him, completely disregarding how he fell asleep, which was torture for him.

"No, I've quit."

"?"

Yan Shuyi was protected by a medicinal pill tonight and was not afraid of sex, so she wanted to sleep in his arms.

However, it was not appropriate to say this directly, as it would damage her pride and dignity as the appraiser. So, she could only follow the usual procedure, kissing him on the lips before being taken back to her room. But she did not expect to be rejected.

After pondering for a long time, Yan Shuyi expressionlessly stretched her smooth, jade-like feet into Ji You's arms.

The flickering light from the stove cast a soft glow on her fair, jade-like feet.

Ji You glanced at the feet in her arms and thought to herself, "You think you can seduce me if I don't hold you? Well, now you know I like your feet."

However, he had agreed to sever all emotional ties and desires, and he refused all temptations.

Ji You reached out and grasped the cold foot, holding the small one in her palm. After warming it up, she placed it back on the footstool.

Before long, the young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain, with a predatory look on his face, snuggled into his arms. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his head and leaned in closer.

Ji You gently opened his mouth to catch her, and at the same time, afraid that she would fall, he reached out to support her waist.

While Yan Shuyi's cute side is rarely seen, she has quite a few endearing contrasts. Despite her aloof demeanor, she loves hugging and kissing.

He looked at the face so close to his and realized that the other person was also looking at him, their long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

Why are you being so arrogant today? It's so late and you're still whimpering.

So after being pecked by Yan Shuyi for a long time, he reached out and wrapped his arms around the waist and knees of the young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain, picked him up, and stepped out of the side hall, deciding that there was no better time than now.

Although his combat strength is not as good as Yan Shuyi's, he is still capable of fighting, and he is not afraid of scaring her occasionally.

Under the pitch-black night, a cold wind blew in gusts.

The light snow that had started falling before had now accumulated into a thin layer, settling on the branches and the eaves.

Ji You carried Yan Shuyi out of the side hall, which was somewhat unexpected.

Yan Shuyi did not use her sword energy to intimidate him. She simply opened her eyes slightly to meet his gaze, and even continued to speak, behaving unusually obediently.

Ji You had long known that the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain was actually even more delicate than Wei Rui.

However, the need for her side at Lingjian Mountain limited her original personality, making it difficult for her to appear.

He had no idea what had happened tonight to see Yan Shuyi being so clingy.

Ji You wondered if she had taken the wrong medicine today, but men are not afraid of being tricked at certain times, and may even have the courage to knowingly walk into danger, even if it is innocent.

Then a series of footprints began to appear on the snow, extending from the side hall all the way to the bedroom.

Yan Shuyi was brought back into the warm room and lay down on the soft bed. Her cheeks were flushed, and her hands were still wrapped around her neck. Her eyes were still arrogant.

Even when Ji You was using his ingenious tricks and Flying Dragon Explores the Circle, she couldn't help but open her mouth and bite his tongue.

"You're already on the chopping board, how can you still be so arrogant?"

"A disciple of the Little Heavenly Academy..."

Yan Shuyi lay on the soft bed and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Seeing the "go for it" look in her beautiful eyes, Ji You leaned over and slapped her plump buttocks.

Actually, he wasn't in such a hurry; in fact, he had always wanted to wait for Yan Shuyi to be ready before making a move.

The situation in Qingyun Tianxia is currently unstable, and Tianjian Peak of Lingjian Mountain has always been eyeing Xuanjian Peak covetously. The arrogant girl carries too much on her shoulders, and if she were truly pregnant, the risks would likely be even higher. Therefore, he genuinely wanted to beat her up first, and then ask her if she had made up her mind.

For some reason, Ji You felt he couldn't stop, and as he loosened Yan Shuyi's belt, a surge of energy gradually rose within his body.

The feeling was as if a raging wave was bursting forth from the depths of the dantian, continuously spreading to every part of the body.

One of them surged up within him and rushed to his mind.

At this moment, as her clothes were stripped off one by one, Yan Shuyi's feet, which had been sticking out in mid-air, began to curl up, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

The medicine didn't work...

She had asked Yuan Caiwei how long it would take for the medicine to take effect when she was refining the elixir.

According to Yuan Caiwei, Ji You's physical body is far superior to that of ordinary people, so his resistance is naturally extremely strong, and the effects will not be seen so quickly.

However, according to previous calculations, even if Ji You's physical body is incredibly strong, it should have taken effect by now, from the side hall to now.

While she was thinking, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji You's hand, but her mouth was sealed shut again.

Snowflakes drifted down gently, continuously landing on the rooftop.

Inside the Wei family's villa, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu sat under the covered walkway, holding hot tea and gazing at the courtyard gate under the snowy night.

The appraiser disappeared starting in the evening, without leaving a note saying where he was going.

Based on their meticulous analysis, there should be three possibilities.

The first possibility is that the appraiser went to the son-in-law's place; the second possibility is that the appraiser secretly went to the son-in-law's place; the third possibility is that the appraiser deliberately went to the son-in-law's place without them.

Regardless of the possibility, their own appraiser is probably already clinging to the son-in-law.

The key issue is that it's already very late, and the person in charge is already afraid of sex and the dark, so why hasn't he come back yet?

Just as the two were speculating, a white figure suddenly rushed over under the snowy night sky. Then, they saw Zhu'er chasing after them from the backyard, her shouts startling Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu.

"What's wrong, Pearl?"

"Qiuqiu is acting so strange today..."

"strangeness?"

Qiuqiu was a small dog owned by Wei Rui's father, and it was usually kept by the servants in the back of the separate courtyard.

According to Pearl, Qiuqiu had just run into a room in the backyard, ate something that looked like medicine residue, and then started banging on pillars whenever it saw them.

Yuan Caiwei had been peering out the window, watching the figure catching the dog in the yard, feeling uneasy.

My sister is always too afraid, and this can't go on forever.

As a younger sister, you should give her a push when it's time to do so, and now you're about to enjoy it too.

Thinking of this, Yuan Caiwei took out a brocade box from her pill box, then quietly left the room and went to Yan Shuyi's room.

The medicine box contained some tonics, used to reduce swelling and such...

After witnessing Ji You's body tempering, Yuan Caiwei felt that this matter was still very necessary.

She placed the medicine box on the table and was about to turn and leave when she noticed a box that looked very familiar to her on the other side.

So she walked over, opened it and took a look. To her surprise, it was just this. Her eyes widened instantly.

There were originally two kinds of pills in that pill box. The jade bottle that was originally placed on the left is gone, but the pill on the right is still there.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the Wulu Trading Company, the young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain, who had already been stripped bare like a little white rabbit, gradually realized something was wrong, because she discovered that Ji You was burning hot all over and her eyes had turned red.

As for back pain...

Absolutely not.

I got scammed by my fake best friend...

Yan Shuyi let out a haughty snort, suddenly gathered her spiritual energy, rolled over on the bed, and began to fight with Ji You, her body round and trembling.

As the whistling sword energy surged through the room, Ji You's hands were quickly restrained by her, leaving him powerless to resist.

The young appraiser was slightly taken aback, finding it a bit strange.

Although his combat strength was superior to his, his physical strength was extremely savage, and he could not be subdued so easily.

When she looked up, she saw a strained restraint in the stranger's eyes, and his forehead was covered in sweat. Only then did she realize that he was also restraining himself.

Ji You had indeed noticed the problem quite early on, realizing that she must have eaten something terrible.

Upon closer inspection, I remembered that cup of tea.

Yan Shuyi fed it to him, but Ji You felt that she probably didn't know what the thing's effects were, otherwise she wouldn't have been so aroused. So after thinking about this, he immediately chose to suppress it.

"Hurry up, or it will really hurt. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."

"..."

"Don't go."

"?"

The aloof young appraiser narrowed his eyes, his gaze resembling that of a ferocious tiger.

To her, hugs and kisses were all offensive, and Ji You would get hit every time she took a step forward.

He survived when he reached the peak of the three lower realms and when he reached the Profound Realm; logically speaking, he should have been killed long ago.

The reason he didn't die was that Yan Shuyi couldn't bear to, so his punches were weak and his kicks would get caught.

So seeing him like this, her heart softened even more.

Yan Shuyi stared at him for a long time, as if she had made a major decision. Then she reached for the storage gourd in her belt, but her eyes widened in surprise.

The other one didn't hurt, so I didn't bring it...

The young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain is not good at deceiving others, but he is good at deceiving himself.

She felt that what she wanted was a pill to relieve her lower back pain, while the pill to relieve the pain was something Yuan Caiwei insisted on giving her.

If she carried it with her, it would make her feel as if she were vaguely anticipating something.

At this moment, she finally realized the harm of deceiving herself.

Yan Shuyi's heart sank. He turned to look out the window and suddenly realized that Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were not with him either.

Just as Xiao Jian was about to panic, a scene from the manual she had bought at the foot of Lingjian Mountain flashed into her mind, making her pause slightly.

She suddenly realized that whether it was elixirs, maids, gold and silver jewelry, or a vast fortune, all these things were just external possessions.

There are countless things in the world, but only the skills you learn and internalize truly become your own...

Yan Shuyi narrowed her eyes: "You're not allowed to look."

Ji You looked up at the naked fairy, thinking she was referring to her body: "Do you think this is the important thing right now?"

"What's the point?"

"Can't you see the point?"

The young appraiser glanced down, then angrily punched him; that wasn't what she meant.

Just as Ji You was stunned, Yan Shuyi waved her hand and brought out her undergarment to cover his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she lowered her head with murderous intent...

Qingyun Tianxia has always prioritized Taoist principles, and literature and art have never seen much development.

Especially poetry, which has been used in recent years as a byproduct to praise the power of the gods.

However, some literati would write about flowers, birds, fish, and insects in private.

Ji You wasn't a cultured youth, but he had heard a few of these songs in taverns and teahouses, and one line in particular stuck with him.

Her eloquent tongue twirled through the woods, her melodious voice sang of the dawn.

Despite the dryness in my lips and teeth, I still soar like a phoenix.

Under the snowy night, in a room brightly lit by candlelight, the sounds of squeaking and the fierce aura of swords rose and fell.

Half an hour later, Yan Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, puffed out her cheeks and raised her head, only to find that her bodice had fallen down at some point and had not blocked any view at all.

With a gurgling sound, the subconscious action made the snow-white little appraiser freeze, and then her beautiful eyes narrowed instantly.

Forget it, let's just stab him to death.

Just as this thought solidified, the young appraiser noticed that the strange man in front of her pressed down again, his gaze fixed intently on her small mouth, and his body heat intensified.

Yan Shuyi subconsciously looked down and saw that the pair of snow-white jade feet lying on the bed instantly curled up.

Before long, the murderous sword energy and the gurgling sound rose and fell again.

When Yuan Caiwei was refining the elixir, she considered that Ji You's physical body was strong and his resistance would be extremely high, so she increased the dosage to shorten the time it would take for the medicine to take effect.
When Ji You went to the snowy region, Yuan Caiwei was afraid that he would encounter misfortune, so she refined pills for him overnight and even readjusted the proportions. This is actually the same principle.

However, a strong physical body also has a strong ability to absorb the effects of drugs, and the duration of a large dose of drugs is terrifying.

Yuan Caiwei's pain-relieving pill lasted for a long time, so she didn't think there would be any problem.

As the darkness deepened, the two realized that the situation was getting increasingly serious...
