Ji Yunxi stared at him. "Have the two of you had a long - standing feud?"
Rong Hua nodded unceremoniously and didn't intend to say more.
Ji Yunxi was helpless. Since Rong Hua was reluctant to say anything, she decided not to ask further. "Then I'll ask someone else. But disciple would like to ask Master for a favor. Can you let us handle Zhao Qingwan?"
Her eyes were firm. If Rong Hua refused, she would jump up to oppose him the next second.
"Do I still have the right to refuse? Haven't you already taken the person away?"
"Thank you, Master."
Rong Hua thought for a while and then said, "Although I don't want to refuse, I actually can't make this decision easily. After all, Zhao Qingwan is a noble lady from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and her family has some influence. I'm afraid it will be hard for Kunlun Mountain to explain to the outside world."
"I understand, Master. Don't worry. I won't kill her. I'll send her back tomorrow."
Since Ji Yunxi had woken up, Feng Xingzhi took her back to his courtyard.
Hearing the news, Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge rushed over without a moment's delay to see her.
The two met outside the courtyard. Li Jiuge was holding a food box in her hand.
Ji Yunyi joked, "Hey, did you make this yourself? Don't make my sister sick."
"Second brother, stop talking nonsense! We'll be family in the future. You'll have to eat what I make too!" Li Jiuge even lifted the food box deliberately.
Ji Yunyi looked shocked. "You... You really want to be my elder brother's wife?!"
"What are you talking about?" Li Jiuge's face changed instantly. Her heart felt like it had been stabbed hard. "Your elder brother is so noble and upright. How could I be worthy of him! If you talk nonsense again, I... I'll..."
Ji Yunyi was at least perceptive. Seeing her eyes turn slightly red, he immediately slapped himself hard.
"Hey, look at me." Ji Yunyi smiled awkwardly. "I always like to talk nonsense. Big brother is just a blockhead. Don't like him."
Li Jiuge paused and stared into his eyes. Seeing him scratching his head, he continued, "You're a noble princess, a peerless beauty. Even if someone is unworthy, it's my big brother who is unworthy of you. Moreover, you're now a disciple of the Immortal Venerable, while he's just an ordinary mortal..."
"Alright, alright. Why are you scolding your own brother non - stop?" Li Jiuge couldn't help laughing.
She could tell that Ji Yunyi was trying to comfort her, and she appreciated his kindness. "Let's go. Yunxi must be waiting for us."
Li Jiuge definitely couldn't have imagined that Ji Yunxi hadn't even thought about their coming. At this moment, she was holding Feng Xingzhi's hand and comforting him softly.
"Azhi, I'm really okay. Don't blame yourself."
Feng Xingzhi lowered his head. "I should have thought of it. Even if the stronghold of the Dream Elegance Pavilion was discovered, it wouldn't be directly attacked. They must have deliberately lured us down the mountain."
"Who can be a prophet? Zhao Qingwan is already in our hands. As long as we find out the mastermind behind this, everything will go smoothly for us in the future."
When Ji Yunxi mentioned this mastermind, she already had some guesses in her mind.
In her previous life, she had never guarded against Ji Yuyan, so she was killed by her with a single sword. It should be her this time too.
But how did she get that sword...
Just as she was deep in thought, Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi walked in. As soon as they saw her, they felt a pang of distress.
It was Ji Yunxi herself who comforted them for a while before they got over the shock of her injury.
"I'm going to look for the medicinal materials to make the Nine - Revolving Green Blood Pill. I'll have to trouble Jiuge and second brother to go to the back mountain more often in the future and keep an eye on the news of Yunluo Heaven."
Li Jiuge pouted. "I want to go with you."
Feng Xingzhi refused. "There won't be much danger this time. We'll be back soon. You're now a disciple of Immortal Venerable Ning Shuihan. She won't agree."
"You're right. Master is the strictest master on Kunlun Mountain..."
Thanks to Rong Hua's divine power, Ji Yunxi's injury had almost recovered about seventy or eighty percent overnight.
The next day, the two of them went down the mountain. Since they planned to return Zhao Qingwan, they wanted to interrogate her quickly.
The two walked into the dungeon of the Dream Elegance Pavilion's stronghold. From afar, they could smell a faint smell of blood.
The surrounding disciples saluted Ji Yunxi one after another. They walked all the way in and finally found Lu Shu.
He was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, gently blowing on the steam. He looked very comfortable. And directly opposite him was Zhao Qingwan, hanging there half - dead.
She was covered in blood and could hardly cry out.
"How's it going?"
Ji Yunxi walked in slowly. Lu Shu's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw her. He immediately stood up and looked around to make sure the pavilion master was okay. Then he said happily, "When A Shu handles things, the pavilion master can just rest assured."
Through the blood in front of her eyes, Zhao Qingwan actually saw Ji Yunxi. She was extremely shocked.
With a hoarse voice, she asked in disbelief, "You, aren't you dead..."
"Sorry, your skills are too poor. Even if you have the divine sword, what's the use? I've already recovered overnight." Ji Yunxi sat down.
Zhao Qingwan couldn't accept this fact. She could endure all kinds of hardships. Just thinking about Ji Yunxi dying at her hands made her feel happy. But if she was still alive, what did all the suffering she endured mean?!
"Let me go! You're fine! Why are you still tying me up!"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "Zhao Qingwan, I really don't know who has cast a spell on you. Even that stupid guy Lu Chengming knows not to provoke me anymore, but you're really brave."
There was a coldness in her slightly raised eyes.
Zhao Qingwan felt a chill run down her back and immediately burst into tears. "Please let me go, or just kill me. Don't torture me anymore. I've told you everything I know..."
Ji Yunxi looked at Lu Shu. He said, "She's told us everything she knows. She said it was a woman wearing a veiled hat who gave her the sword. And after I brought Zhao Qingwan back, the sword disappeared."
Saying this, Lu Shu subconsciously frowned.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingwan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, that's all I know."
Ji Yunxi was silent for a long time. "Since you've been so cooperative, Miss Zhao, let's send her back."
Zhao Qingwan looked shocked, and her voice trembled. "You really... let me go?"
"What do you think?" She turned her head. There was no trace of pity in her smiling eyes. Zhao Qingwan knew that Ji Yunxi wouldn't let her go.
Under the great despair, she finally couldn't hold on and fainted.
Thinking of what happened in her previous life, Ji Yunxi said in a low voice, "I actually have some guesses. It should be Ji Yuyan who did this."
"Does she have that much power?" Feng Xingzhi couldn't quite believe it. After all, she had almost died on the execution ground and couldn't even save her own mother. How could she have a divine object?
"I guess there's a divine race from the upper realm helping her behind the scenes. I just don't know why the divine race wants to hunt me down."
The three of them couldn't find an answer for a while. Ji Yunxi saw the fainted Zhao Qingwan and waved to the people around her.
"Wake her up."
