Jiang Yaoji led Feng Xingzhi and the others away in a grand manner. However, she knew well in her heart that if they continued to travel so openly, they would surely be discovered by those from the upper realm before long.
Actually, during the showdown in front of the valley earlier, the reason they hadn't been detected was that she had been using her divine power bit by bit to block the detection.
She waved her hand and summoned Jiang Yin.
"Go and tell everyone to disperse and disappear."
Jiang Yin nodded. Turning around, he saw Feng Xingzhi's somewhat inquisitive look. He let out a cold snort and went to do what Jiang Yaoji had ordered.
Feng Xingzhi had always been curious about how they could be so ostentatious. Now, seeing Jiang Yin, he somewhat understood.
Jiang Yaoji must have set up barriers all the way to hide these people.
Yue Chen was seriously injured and surely couldn't be sharp - eyed enough to notice that Jiang Yaoji had used her divine power. So this matter had been smoothly covered up without anyone knowing.
He looked around. As the crowd began to disperse, he immediately extracted a wisp of divine power to examine the inside of Lu Shu's body.
Sure enough, as he had expected, there was a kind of seal in Lu Shu's body that he had never seen before.
When it came to seals, Feng Xingzhi couldn't help but think of the small seal that had once been in his own body, which had been operating relying on the Kunlun Seal.
He had been suspicious before. Now, thinking about it, it was so absurd. If Jiang Yaoji were a good person, she wouldn't have casually altered others' memories. He had already suffered the pain of amnesia, and now Lu Shu had to endure it too.
He didn't trust Jiang Yaoji at all and probed deeper.
This time, he found that Lu Shu seemed to be poisoned.
Unable to bear it any longer, Feng Xingzhi clamped his legs on the horse's belly and stepped forward. "Jiang Yaoji, unlock the seal on Lu Shu and hand over the antidote."
His tone was anything but polite. It even carried a bit of interrogation and complaint.
Jiang Yaoji frowned slightly. "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't harm you."
She leaned back in her chair. Lu Shu was completely confused. He looked at his master, wanting to speak up and tell him to be more polite, but was glared back by Feng Xingzhi.
Lu Shu had no choice but to shut up obediently. In his heart, he thought that maybe Feng Xingzhi wasn't used to being away from Ji Yunxi yet.
"Don't you want to know why I called you here?"
Before Feng Xingzhi could respond, Jiang Yaoji suddenly waved at him and invited him into the carriage. "Come up first. Then I'll consider telling you."
Naturally, he was reluctant. But unfortunately, Lu Shu got into the carriage first. Since he wasn't feeling well, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance to rest comfortably in the carriage. For this reason, he even patted the chair beside him. "Master, come quickly."
Feng Xingzhi was extremely helpless. This Lu Shu not only had his memory restricted now, but it seemed that his intelligence was also greatly diminished.
Resisting his discomfort, he still got into the carriage.
Just as Jiang Yin had dispersed the crowd, he saw that the carriage, which had originally only had himself and his master in it, was now occupied by others. He immediately felt dissatisfied. Just as he was about to get in, he heard Jiang Yaoji say, "There's no room in the carriage. Go and drive the carriage."
Knowing that she intended to send him away on purpose, Jiang Yin was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only pout and sit in the front.
The carriage galloped along an unknown road. The direction of the Qinse Valley was completely out of sight.
Early the next morning.
Li Jiuge had tossed and turned all night, constantly thinking that Ji Yunxi was in a bad mood. So she planned to make some breakfast for her to cheer her up.
Unexpectedly, when she knocked on Ji Yunxi's door with a box in her hand, she found that Ji Yunxi wasn't in the room.
"Yunxi?"
Li Jiuge was puzzled. Where could this person have gone?
She looked everywhere inside and outside but couldn't find any trace of her.
Could it be that Yunxi had thought it over last night and decided not to wait any longer and had gone to find her cousin?!
Greatly shocked, Li Jiuge panicked and quickly looked around.
Her commotion was quite loud. Ji Yunyi, who had been sleeping in the adjacent courtyard, was immediately awakened.
"What are you doing? Making such a racket early in the morning. Let Yunxi have a good rest."
"Rest what! Yunxi is missing!" Li Jiuge shouted, her voice filled with panic.
"What did you say?" Ji Yunyi instantly woke up. With wide - open eyes, regardless of it being a woman's room, he rushed in and also looked around inside and outside. There was indeed no one.
Suddenly flustered, the two were worried that something might have happened to Ji Yunxi. They quickly woke up Gu An and the others to go looking for her together.
Gu An wasn't fully awake yet and was a bit dazed. "What's going on? Are there more people coming?"
Li Jiuge saw that he was getting old and didn't dare to scare him. "I went to find Yunxi this morning and found that she wasn't in the room. I've also searched the yard."
Gu An thought for a while. "Could she be in the flower field?"
"Again?" Li Jiuge didn't understand. Ji Yunxi was already unhappy because of Feng Xingzhi. Going there again and again was like tearing open the wound repeatedly.
She didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed straight to the flower field, but didn't see the person she wanted to see.
Seeing that the person wasn't there, Gu An also became a bit anxious. "Where could she have gone so early in the morning?!"
"Could it be..." Gu Yiping carefully spoke up on one side. "She told Young Master Feng to go yesterday. Could it be that the Valley Master also went with him?"
Everyone was a bit worried. If this were really the case, then it would be a big problem.
Jiang Yaoji's hatred for Ji Yunxi was quite obvious. If she really went, she would be in danger.
For a moment, there was chaos in the valley. Fortunately, Ji Yunxi hadn't gone too far. Finally, Ji Yunyi found her standing motionless at the valley entrance, looking into the distance.
Seeing her dejected look, Ji Yunyi felt extremely heart - broken, but didn't know how to comfort her.
He walked over, sighed, and stroked her head. "Why are you standing here so early in the morning? The wind is strong. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Ji Yunxi wasn't surprised that they had found her. She said softly, "I'm waiting for Azhi. It's already been a whole night. Why haven't they come back yet?"
Ji Yunyi sighed. "Maybe they still need some time. Don't be too anxious."
"How can I not be anxious..." she murmured softly.
Knowing that she was anxious, Ji Yunyi comforted her in a soft voice. "It should be soon. Didn't you say you were going to send a message to him with a blue bird?"
Only then did Ji Yunxi suddenly remember this matter. Finally, there was a glimmer of hope in her heart. "Yes! There's still the blue bird!"
She lifted the hem of her skirt. Forgoing her usual calmness, she trotted all the way back to her room to get paper and a pen to write a letter.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yiping felt a bit dissatisfied in his heart, or rather, more of it was incomprehension.
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi had only been separated for a short while. Why did she react so strongly?
One could only say that she was wasting away for her beloved.
Ji Yunxi picked up the pen but didn't know what to write. She put it down and picked it up again. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked when he would come back.
Knowing that there was a barrier outside and was afraid that the blue bird couldn't get in, after she finished writing, she went to the secret path in the back mountain. She blew the bamboo flute, tied the letter to the blue bird's calf, and then let the blue bird fly away.
