My cultivation is too simple

Chapter 22 Sugar-coated Cannonballs
Walking on the road in the inner courtyard, Zhou You followed closely behind Xiao Qing without squinting his eyes. He found a chance to ask Xiao Qing on the way, what did the young lady want to see him for?

Xiao Qing shook her head to express that she was unclear, but said with certainty: "Brother You, don't worry, the lady is very satisfied with your performance recently. It's definitely not a bad thing if she invites you into the inner courtyard!"

After listening to Xiaoqing's words, Zhou You felt calmer, but he did not relax completely.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaoqing brought Zhou You to the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is obviously much more lively than the outer courtyard, with exotic flowers blooming, the fragrance of medicine overflowing, and a deep and tranquil atmosphere that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"It's such a strong aura!"

Zhou You couldn't help but secretly said.

If you practice in such a place with abundant spiritual energy, your practice speed will definitely be much faster.

They arrived at the door of Xiao Yueying's room. Xiao Qing asked Zhou You to wait three feet away. She walked to the door and knocked lightly.

"Miss, someone brought it."

Xiaoqing said respectfully.

Not long after, Xiao Yueying's slightly cold voice sounded inside: "Bring him in."

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

Generally speaking, it is very rare to invite a male servant into the inner courtyard, but Xiao Yueying actually let Zhou You into her boudoir!

This... completely breaks the rules!

If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause bad rumors.

However, Xiao Qing could not refute Xiao Yueying's decision, so she responded, gently opened the door, and motioned for Zhou You to go in.

Zhou You was also extremely puzzled and even more wary inside.

What on earth is this young lady going to do?

You must know that in a big family, the rules are strict and there are many etiquettes.

A young lady like Xiao Yueying would not easily come into contact with other men. Inviting a man into the inner courtyard was already breaking the rules, let alone inviting a man into the boudoir.

Zhou You was silent for a moment, then slowly walked into the room.

As soon as you enter the room, a delicate fragrance hits your face.

Smelling this fragrance, Zhou You felt calmer all over.

Standing in front of the screen, Zhou You could vaguely see a slender figure sitting cross-legged inside.

"Miss."

Zhou You bowed his hand.

"Close the door and come here."

Xiao Yueying's cold voice sounded.

Zhou You hesitated for a moment, then closed the door, walked around the screen and walked into the room.

There was no bed in the quaint room, and the layout was quite simple. Apart from hanging some landscape paintings, there were no other special furnishings.

Xiao Yueying sat cross-legged on a futon in the middle, looking at Zhou You.

Zhou You was secretly shocked when he saw Xiao Yueying.

Xiao Yueying deserves to be called the Moon Shadow Fairy, and her appearance is indeed a disaster for the country and the people.

The immortal cultivator is 25 or [-] years old when he is full of vitality. Xiao Yueying is wearing a green smoked sweater, a pleated skirt with mist and green grass, and a thin veil of green water. Her shoulders are cut into a plain waist. The skin is as thick as fat and the air is like orchid, vividly interpreting the vitality of this age.

"sit."

Xiao Yueying stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed to the side.

Only then did Zhou You realize that there was a futon next to him.

After thinking about it, Zhou You didn't refuse, but sat cross-legged on the futon. "You don't have to be restrained. Now that you have entered the ranks of cultivating immortals, you are considered a fellow Taoist. We can treat each other as fellow Taoists."

Xiao Yueying said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou You felt a powerful divine consciousness sweep over his body. This was at least the divine consciousness in the foundation building stage!

Obviously, it was Xiao Yueying who was probing his cultivation!

If he hadn't reached the third level of Qi training and the strength of his spiritual consciousness had reached the sixth level of Qi training, he might not have noticed Xiao Yueying's exploration at all.

But soon, the spiritual consciousness was taken back.

Zhou You secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently Xiao Yueying didn't notice anything unusual.

Fortunately, he had perfected the art of converging spirits in advance, otherwise the secret would have been exposed!
"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou You pretended not to know anything and bowed his hand, without changing the title. If people just said that, he might actually call Xiao Yueying "fellow Taoist".

However, Zhou You can now be neither humble nor overbearing when facing Xiao Yueying.

Xiao Yueying could also detect this change, but she didn't care.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I didn't expect that your talent in fishing for spiritual fish is so outstanding, but when you just started cultivating immortals, you can turn in ninety spiritual fish every month, which really impressed me."

Xiao Yueying's beautiful eyes flashed, showing a hint of appreciation.

Taibai Academy's requirement is to submit eighty spirit fish every month. The original statement that "one hundred spirit fish must be submitted every month" was just to put pressure on Zhou You and encourage Zhou You.

Originally, Xiao Yueying never thought that Zhou You could successfully complete the mission.

Unexpectedly, the tour was fully completed in the first month, and it was able to complete the task in full every month thereafter, and even exceeded it.

This gave her a lot of face in the circle of children from aristocratic families.

In addition, Zhou You has wood spirit roots, which may be useful for her to attack the core in the future, so Xiao Yueying took more care of Zhou You as soon as she was in a good mood.

When Zhou You heard Xiao Yueying's words, he was a little speechless in his heart.

He originally had to focus on Xiao Yueying Spirit Fish, but he didn't expect that he still attracted the other party's attention.

"It seems that I am still low-key and careful enough!"

Zhou You thought secretly in his heart, but said on the surface: "When I was young, my family was poor and we had no rice to cook. I often went to the river to fish to satisfy my hunger, so I have some experience in fishing."

Xiao Yueying's head was slightly open, her eyes were bright, and she said: "Recently, I am refining an elixir, and I need a first-order medium-grade spiritual fish, the green wood fish. If you can catch it, you can exchange some spiritual stones with me."

"Aokiyu?"

Zhou You secretly wrote down the name of this fish, thinking it should be the light blue first-order mid-grade spiritual fish he caught before.

Xiao Yueying said "Hmm": "This fish is light green and looks like a carp, so it is more difficult to catch."

Zhou You responded, not saying that he had caught this kind of spiritual fish, but saying that he had tried his best.

In terms of fishing for spiritual fish, he had already made a small splash in front of Xiao Yueying, and he could not show off any more, otherwise it would be puzzling for a fisherman to be so outstanding.

"This object is a token of Taibai Academy. You can go to Taibai Academy's monthly public sermons. Although these sermons are not profound, they are of great help to Qi-training monks. If you go and listen to them, they may enlighten you. The pulse helps to a certain extent.”

Xiao Yueying took out a piece of personal jade pendant and gave it to Zhou You, and said.

Zhou You was a little surprised, but he hesitated before taking the jade pendant: "Thank you, Miss."

Xiao Yueying nodded and asked Zhou You to leave the room without saying anything more.

After Zhou You left, he looked down at the white jade glass pendant, and could even feel the residual warmth belonging to Xiao Yueying on the jade pendant, as well as a faint fragrance.

At this moment, he was a little confused as to what Xiao Yueying meant.

Could it be that you really think too much?

Xiao Yueying simply wanted to help her improve her cultivation so as to add strength to her Xiao family?
But why, she, the Xiao family, is not alone in building foundations and forming pills, but she is a big family in Daqi cultivating immortals, so she would value him as a mere servant?
It doesn't make sense!
Zhou You held the jade pendant and decided to stay on guard.
