After being trained as slaves, they all became masters of their own affairs.

"I have plenty of time to listen to you talk slowly." Ji Zihan said softly.

This was exactly what Yu Ze meant.

In a while, he will have to deal with the matters of Heaven's Law... It is not clear what will happen in the end, so if possible, Yu Ze still wants to deal with everything that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Ji Zihan's innocent and lovely face, and her fierce eyes that looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. He hesitated for a moment and said helplessly:

"Anyway, let's go inside first."

Chapter 264 Ji Zihan and Ji Wanshan, the Ancient Covenant

The afternoon sun poured in through the window. In Shuiyun Garden, Yu Ze sat at the desk, silently looking at his senior sister who was not far away across from him.

The girl was wearing a simple and elegant dress with beautiful lotus flowers embroidered on it. She was wearing a pair of delicate and small deerskin boots, and a small part of her fair calf was revealed between the hem of her skirt and the boots.

Different from any woman Yu Ze knew, Ji Zihan had big, bright eyes, and she had the innocent temperament that only a young girl could have.

This was also one of the reasons why Yu Ze was attracted to her in the past.

However, at this moment, the look in Ji Zihan's eyes when he looked at Yu Ze was completely different from the past.

That faint look in his eyes made Yu Ze feel uncomfortable.

On one side was the woman who had raised him since he was a child, and on the other side was Yu Ze, who had just joined the sect and became his fellow junior brother.

The result is now...

This fellow apprentice actually secretly got together with Ji Wanshan...

If this matter were to spread to the sect, it would probably cause a stir.

It’s not that the sect doesn’t allow it, but quite the opposite, the sect doesn’t object to it.

only……

Not objecting doesn't mean not being shocked. Even Ji Zihan finds it difficult to accept at this moment.

There was a silent atmosphere in the room, and the two looked at each other in silence.

Yu Ze couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart. Although when he was with Ji Wanshan, he had already prepared that Ji Zihan would know about this sooner or later.

However, when it happened so quickly, he still had mixed feelings.

"So, you were already a third-rank person when you entered the sect. And you were the one who overcame the tribulation and broke through to the Saint realm in the real world not long ago?"

After a brief silence, Ji Zihan spoke, looking at Yu Ze with his little eyes.

Yu Ze nodded gently and said, "I was the one who survived the tribulation at that time."

Even though he had expected it, Ji Zihan was still a little surprised and asked subconsciously, "You have entered the second rank?"

"I am indeed a second-rank official now."

After hearing Yu Ze's affirmative answer, Ji Zihan's eyes looking at Yu Ze couldn't help but change subtly.

Judging from the surface, Yu Ze should be about the same age as her. To enter the saint realm at such an age... in terms of talent, he is probably stronger than the former Sect Master Ji.

"Is this also due to the blessing of great fortune?"

Ji Zihan whispered to himself, and then quickly rejected the idea.

No... the blessing of great luck alone is far from enough to be promoted to a second-grade saint in such a short time.

If it is so easy to enter the realm of saint, then why do the monks in heaven still practice? Once they find out that they do not have great luck from birth, they can just give up.

"Mother is in seclusion now, is she also planning to make the breakthrough to the second level?" Ji Zihan suddenly looked up and asked.

Yu Ze nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be results within the next few days."

In the past, Ji Wanshan had been stuck at the third level. On the one hand, it was because she had reached that bottleneck, and on the other hand, it was also because of the constraints of the rules.

Now that the rules are gone, the experience she has accumulated from practicing for so long has finally been put to good use, and it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to the second rank.

When Ji Zihan heard this, there was a hint of realization in his eyes.

He signed a contract with his junior fellow apprentice, and thus received the blessing of great fortune... Was this the kind of contractual relationship between them?

As for why my mother kissed my junior brother before leaving... I guess it's because they had several intimate contacts during the time they signed the contract, right?

When Ji Zihan thought of this, he couldn't help but said angrily:

"Even if you have signed a contract with my mother, you can't be with her... How should I call you in the future if you do this?"

"I really treated you as my junior fellow apprentice at the beginning. If I had known, I would have taught you a lesson when I first met you."

As Ji Zihan spoke, a layer of mist covered her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She looked completely different from her usual lively and lovely appearance. She actually looked a little weak and helpless.

In fact, when Ji Wanshan adopted Ji Zihan, she always asked her not to call her "mother", but Ji Zihan often forgot what Ji Wanshan said.

Or it could be said that he did not forget, but deliberately pretended to forget.

This girl is essentially lacking in love. From childhood to adulthood, only Ji Wanshan treated her the best and regarded her as a relative.

After that, she got another junior brother. Although they didn't spend much time together, Ji Zihan still treated him as her own junior brother and even thought about protecting him in the sect in the future.

But now...

The woman who had raised her since she was a child was secretly together with her junior fellow apprentice...

She didn't even know anything.

"I'm sorry... but emotional matters are often hard to control."

Yu Ze reached out his hand to wipe away the tears from Ji Zihan's eyes, but the girl immediately raised her hand to wipe them away. She stared at Yu Ze with tears in her eyes: "You and the Demon King have been married for a long time, and now you have a new relationship in the sect... If this gets out, the Demon Realm will probably regard you as a mortal enemy."

The Demon King's husband had an affair with the Great Elder in Guiyi Sect... If this were to get out, it would indeed have a bad impact on her reputation.

Even now, Ji Zihan was still worried about her junior brother. Although she thought it was abominable that this guy was secretly with Ji Wanshan, she still didn't want more people to know about it.

Yu Ze naturally saw Ji Zihan's mood, and stared at the girl silently. After a while, he sighed softly: "Senior sister should have guessed something about the marriage in the demon domain, right?"

"I know that your wedding with the Demon King is fake, and helping Fairy Yaoyue to advance to the first rank is the real thing, right?"

Ji Zihan said with a cold expression, "But if this matter gets out, what the demon cultivators in the demon realm will think is another matter."

That's true. Even if Su Dieying doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the demon cultivators below don't care either.

The newly-wed prince consort of the Demon Realm and the great elder of the Guiyi Sect are having an affair secretly...if this news were to get out, it would probably cause a huge shock.

"Sister, are you going to reveal this matter...?" Yu Ze asked tentatively.

"If I wanted to talk, I wouldn't be sitting in your room right now."

Ji Zihan didn't look kind to him: "You are now a second-rank saint, and mother is in seclusion. If you stay in this room, even if you want to do something, I won't be able to resist you at all."

It seems that she is still very rational... Yu Ze felt a little relieved and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister..."

Ji Zihan didn't say anything, his face was cold, and he said: "Since what happened between you and mother is consensual, I won't interfere anymore, and today's matter is over."

"But since you and mother intend to become Taoist couples, then from now on..."

Ji Zihan's eyes flashed with a complex expression. She grabbed the hem of her skirt with her small hands, bit her lips lightly, and whispered, "From now on, you don't have to call me Senior Sister anymore."

When she finished speaking, Ji Zihan felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness and loss in her heart. She gave Yu Ze a disappointed look and stood up to leave.

"Sister..."

Yu Ze shouted subconsciously and reached out to grab Ji Zihan's little hand.

"Does Mr. Yu have anything else to say?"

Ji Zihan spoke in a cold voice and tried to shake off Yu Ze's hand.

However, Yu Ze still refused to let go.

For some reason, he had a feeling.

Once Ji Zihan leaves the room at this moment, their relationship will probably be like strangers from now on.

At least, the atmosphere between the two of them will never return to what it was when they were together.

But for some reason, feeling the girl constantly struggling to break free from his grasp, Yu Ze actually slowly let go of Ji Zihan's hand, as if she was a little tired.

"Sorry……"

Just when Ji Zihan was about to leave, the young man's voice suddenly came from behind him.

The sudden apology made Ji Zihan stop subconsciously, but he still remained silent.

Yu Ze whispered, "I know how important Master is to you, and I didn't mean to hide it... I just wanted to find a suitable time, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."

"If there is a chance, I would like to find a time to apologize to you properly later..."

At the end, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I just don't know if I will have this opportunity again in the future."

Ji Zihan subconsciously turned his head and looked at the young man behind him who seemed to be a little worried. He tried to remain calm and said in a cold tone: "You have been in the sect all the time, how could you not have a chance?"

Yu Ze was silent for a moment: "The people who attacked me in the past may be watching me in secret now. I am not sure that I can win."

Yu Ze had been holding these words in his heart for some time. Even though he had the help of the God of Light, Fairy Yaoyue and others, there were the laws of heaven behind the enemy.

"You mean... the matter of the ancient immortals?" Ji Zihan asked subconsciously.

Just now when he was in the house, Yu Ze mentioned the incident of an ambush on him. Now it has been confirmed that the attacker was one of the immortals from the ancient times.

Seeing Yu Ze nod silently, Ji Zihan immediately said: "With mother here, as well as Sect Master Ji and even the fairy, there will be no problem."

Although he said so, Ji Zihan himself felt a little unsure.

After all, they were ancient immortals who had witnessed countless changes of dynasties.

And Junior Brother, are you actually going to be an enemy of such an existence?

Ji Zihan opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to say something comforting, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

"It's okay, I will definitely come back to see you and apologize to you again."

At this time, it was Yu Ze who smiled and took the initiative to comfort the girl.

Ji Zihan was slightly startled. When she noticed the boy's gentle gaze, for some reason, she felt inexplicably flustered. A faint blush appeared on her pretty and delicate face, and a hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful almond eyes, making her look particularly charming in the dim light.

The boy quietly held her small hand tightly at some point, and the warm breath made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Ji Zihan lowered his eyes slightly.

Soon, she seemed to wake up from a trance and glared at Yu Ze: "You...let go of your hand first!"

His tone seemed a little fierce, but it seemed more like he was hiding his inner panic.

"Sorry, I didn't react just now." Yu Ze smiled and let go of Ji Zihan's little hand, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was not afraid that Ji Zihan would be angry, but he was afraid that she would completely give up and ignore him.

Ji Zihan seemed to be a little disgusted. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, lowered his head and wiped his hands, and said, "You are so fickle-minded while thinking about the pot while eating from the bowl."

"Are you still thinking about us serving you together?"

We, this is a very delicate word.

Normally, this word is very common.

But when Ji Zihan said the word "we", he gave it a different attribute.

Hearing the girl's arrogant voice that seemed to express some disgust, Yu Ze couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

We mean... Ji Zihan and Ji Wanshan together...?

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but once the girl mentioned it, it made people think a lot.

Imagine, one is a pure and pretty girl, and the other is a plump and sexy mature woman...

This is not a simple addition of one plus one equals two.

Of course, Yu Ze was not stupid enough to answer such a question directly.

He sorted out his thoughts a little and was about to speak.

But at this moment, Ji Zihan suddenly took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, gently patted Yu Ze's chest with one hand, put her cherry lips close to the boy's ear, and whispered:

"If you can come back alive... I will consider it again then."

After she finished speaking, her ears suddenly felt hot, and she seemed to realize how embarrassing her words were, and she turned around and fled out of the room.

Yu Ze was still in a daze until almost an incense stick of time had passed since Ji Zihan left.
