Ji Yunxi stepped out of Lu Shu's room and was spotted by Qing Xuan.
Filled with doubts, he wondered what their master had whispered to Lu Shu. Then he slipped into Lu Shu's room.
"Lu Shu, what did the master just say to you?"
The young man saw his curiosity but deliberately played hard to get. "Want to know? I'm not telling you."
Qing Xuan was both angry and amused. This guy had caused a fight downstairs and made him clean up the mess. Now he wouldn't even tell him what the master had said.
"Fine. I can guess it anyway."
Lu Shu turned to look at him, feeling a bit nervous. Could he really have guessed it? Wouldn't that make him lose face...
Sure enough, Qing Xuan immediately said, "The master was just comforting you, right?"
Seeing Lu Shu's silence, Qing Xuan knew he had guessed correctly. He couldn't help but pat him on the head.
"What are you doing?"
"Me? Lu Shu, you're such an idiot." Qing Xuan was frustrated. "The master is already so sad, and you still let her comfort you. Isn't she more heart - broken than you?"
Lu Shu suddenly lowered his head and fell silent, feeling a bit guilty inside. He knew Qing Xuan was right, but he just couldn't control himself. He had been childish.
"I didn't mean to."
Qing Xuan thought he would get angry or argue with him, but unexpectedly, he said he didn't mean to with a wronged look.
"You..."
"Qing Xuan, how many years have you waited?" Lu Shu said dejectedly. "Back then, the pavilion master left, and the master didn't stay either. I waited alone for so many years."
"I just found them again not long ago, and then the master left. He didn't tell me anything! He even cut off our connection. It's as if he's going to abandon me again."
Qing Xuan didn't expect that Feng Xingzhi's departure had made Lu Shu so sad. Suddenly, he could understand all of Lu Shu's childishness just now.
He didn't say a word but reached out and patted Lu Shu on the shoulder.
Ji Yunxi didn't have much stuff. Holding the Nianyun Sword in her hand, she slowly walked downstairs.
Qing Xuan and Lu Shu were already waiting downstairs, joking and laughing.
"Master, Pavilion Master!"
Just now Lu Shu had been listless, but now he had regained his energy, smiling stupidly. Ji Yunxi couldn't help but turn her head.
"Master, the Nianyun Sword is heavy. Let me carry it."
"No, no, no. Let me do it!"
Ji Yunxi was only holding the Nianyun Sword, but these two guys still fought over it.
"I'll carry it myself."
Filled with helplessness, Ji Yunxi walked out first.
Sure enough, the Jiang Mansion was a big family. Just getting close to it, one could feel how grand the mansion was.
"Just a family of medical and pharmaceutical experts. Why do they have such a big mansion?"
"Medicines are needed by everyone. It's not strange for them to be wealthy."
Lu Shu stood outside the wall of the Jiang Mansion. "Pavilion Master, shall we just go in and take a look?"
Qing Xuan grabbed him. "We're decent people. Who climbs over the wall?"
"What's wrong with climbing over the wall? We can just go in and find the master."
Lu Shu was clearly eager to try, but Ji Yunxi didn't agree with his approach.
"Lu Shu, there are many powerful people in the Jiang family. We should avoid causing trouble when we're outside."
Being stopped by the pavilion master, the young man could only hold back his anger and return to Ji Yunxi's side. "If I find the master, I..."
"What? Are you going to beat him up?"
Qing Xuan teased him and leaned forward, laughing. "Who's more powerful, you or your master?"
Lu Shu rolled his eyes. "What do you think?"
"Of course..."
"Of course it's me." Lu Shu whispered. "When I found the master, he was only ten years old. All his skills were taught by me."
"But his spiritual power is far above yours." Ji Yunxi added. "You only taught him the basics."
Lu Shu was exposed, and Qing Xuan laughed so hard that he bent forward. "Got exposed, huh?"
"Pavilion Master!"
The three of them were joking and arguing, and the depression in Ji Yunxi's heart was relieved a lot.
She thought that although Lu Shu might not be able to beat Feng Xingzhi, she might be able to.
If she found that guy who left without saying a word, she would definitely teach him a good lesson!
"Master, what excuse shall we use to get in?"
Ji Yunxi had an idea. "Since the Jiang family is a family of medical and pharmaceutical experts, it should be okay for me to seek medical advice."
When they reached the door, Ji Yunxi stepped forward and said to the guard, "Brother, we're here to see the head of the Jiang family."
"Who are you? What do you want to see the head of the family for?"
"I'm Ji Yunxi, the eldest daughter of the Ji family in Nanyan. I want to seek medical advice from the head of the Jiang family."
The guard sized them up. Although they had come on foot, their clothes were luxurious. And the sword in the girl's hand was clearly not an ordinary one. It must be very valuable.
The other two looked like her guards, but they also had an air of nobility.
Maybe they were really people not to be offended.
The guard's attitude became more gentle. "Please wait a moment, Miss Ji. I'll go and announce your arrival."
Qing Xuan whispered, "Master, they're making us wait outside?"
"Customs vary from place to place. The rules of Nanyan may not apply here. And there must be many people coming to the Jiang family to seek medical advice every day. If they let everyone in, even the biggest mansion of the Jiang family wouldn't be big enough. So just wait. The guard will be back soon."
Just as Ji Yunxi finished speaking, the guard came out of the door.
"Miss Ji, the head of the family said it's not convenient to receive guests. Please go back."
Thinking that Feng Xingzhi might be inside, Lu Shu immediately stepped forward. "What does this mean? They made us wait here but won't see us?!"
Ji Yunxi also frowned slightly.
Seeing them, the guard's attitude hardened. "I might as well tell you the truth. There's an important guest in the mansion now. The head of the family has no time to receive you. If you still have something to do, come back some other time."
An important guest?
Could it be Feng Xingzhi?
Ji Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. "Brother, may I ask if the important guest in the mansion is Prince Feng from Nanyan?"
"I don't know about that. But the important guest is indeed from Nanyan."
The guard didn't want to talk to Ji Yunxi and the others at first, but every time he saw Ji Yunxi's face, he couldn't control himself and spoke more gently than usual.
"You should go. Since the head of the family said he won't see you, he definitely won't."
Just then, a girl in a brocade short shawl walked out. Seeing Ji Yunxi and the others, she immediately raised her head slightly, looking haughty.
When the guard saw her, his expression changed, and he immediately bowed. "Miss Xiaorou, why did you come out?"
"Humph." She snorted coldly and glanced at Ji Yunxi. "Didn't the head of the family tell you to send these people away? What are you still talking to them for?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll send them away right away."
He looked extremely obsequious. The gentleness from before disappeared completely. He stared at Ji Yunxi with a straight face. "Get out of here!"
