I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 20 Goodbye Ji Wenyue

Ji Mansion, a courtyard in the West District.

It has blue bricks and black tiles, cornices, rockeries, flowers and plants, small bridges and flowing water, and winding paths leading to secluded areas. It is very peaceful and elegant.

There is a small pool in the courtyard with crystal clear bottom and fish swimming happily in the water.

There is a rockery beside the pool and a small pavilion with winding corridors for people to rest and enjoy the scenery.

Under the setting sun, Ji Wenyue sat sideways on the edge of the winding corridor, scattering fish food listlessly toward the small pond.

At this moment, a maid in emerald green clothes came to Ji Wenyue with a letter in her hand.

Outside the moon cave door connected to the courtyard, a servant was walking back and forth uneasily.

"Miss, the guard said that a man just sent a letter, and the lady must open it personally." The maid whispered, with a rather disapproving look on her face.

"Oh!" Ji Wenyue responded noncommittally, and then lazily took the letter.

In the past two years, many young leaders in Licheng, who coveted her beauty, talent and of course wealth, wrote to her, expressing their love for her, or asking her to drink tea and travel around.

Ji Wenyue was already a little bit used to it.

Especially during this period, she broke through and became a fifth-grade great martial artist. Coupled with her unique talent in refining medicine, she became the youngest and only female clan elder in the family. After the news spread, even some of the top forces in Licheng's younger generation The leaders in the army were alerted, and either wrote letters or asked people to come and make appointments.

In Ji Wenyue's opinion, this time should be no exception.

Ji Wenyue opened the letter.

There are no dragons and phoenixes dancing on the letter paper, no words as handsome as dragons and snakes, and no words of love that would make Ji Wenyue's skin crawl.

There was only a line of place names scrawled in handwriting.

When Ji Wenyue saw that line of perfunctory handwriting, she wrote an address without explaining anything. She looked very arrogant and overbearing, as if she was giving an order. She couldn't help but show a look of sullenness on her face. She was about to tear off the letter paper, but the corner of her eye remained. I scanned the word "Xia" at the signature.

"Brother Xia!" Ji Wenyue's heart beat wildly, and she had already stood up.

"Xiaoyun, where is the guard? Let him in quickly."

Looking at the excited young lady, Xiaoyun looked confused, but still quickly called in the guard waiting outside the moon cave door.

"I've met the clan elder!" The guard came in and quickly knelt down on one knee, not daring to raise his head and look directly at Ji Wenyue.

"Where is the messenger now?" Ji Wenyue asked.

"Hui clan elder, he has left." The guard replied, secretly relieved, but also very curious about the origin of the man in the bamboo hat.

"Gone?" Ji Wenyue was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did he say anything?"

"He said that as long as the younger one gives the letter to the clan elder, the clan elder will know who he is, and he will never blame the younger one and reward the younger one," the guard replied.

"He's right, Xiaoyun, take him to the accounting room and collect ten taels of silver as a reward for him!" Ji Wenyue said.

"Thank you, clan elder!" The guard thanked him quickly, and then happily followed Xiaoyun away.

"Qingshi Street Jingxin Tea House, I don't know what kind of medicine Brother Xia sells in his gourd. Since you are here at Ji's Mansion, just come in directly, why bother to make another appointment." Beside the small pond, Ji Wenyue looked at the letter in her hand and pouted slightly. stand up.

But soon, Ji Wenyue left Ji Mansion in a carriage.

Qingshi Street Jingxin Teahouse, private room on the second floor.

Xia Daoming stood by the window, looking at a luxurious carriage approaching not far away, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Originally, he didn't want to contact Ji Wenyue so early, and he didn't want to repay a favor, lest he lose his worth.

But what happened to Gu Ren this morning stimulated him.

Let him see that the situation in Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall is far from as bright and calm as it appears. There are many enemies lurking around, waiting for opportunities.

As Liang Jingtang's direct disciple, no matter how low-key he is, he will inevitably be involved in disputes sooner or later.

Therefore, he must become stronger as soon as possible.

Only by becoming stronger as soon as possible can we calmly deal with the crisis when it comes.

But to become stronger as soon as possible, a lot of resources are needed.

He couldn't think of a quick and profitable business for the time being, so naturally he could only start with the source of goods, hoping to get high-quality and low-priced tonic elixirs through Ji Wenyue.

Pills are definitely a hugely profitable industry. If you can get the cost price directly, you can naturally save a lot of money.

The carriage stopped in front of the teahouse.

An old woman at the level of a fifth-grade great martial artist came out of the carriage first, rolled up the curtain, and then Ji Wenyue came out.

Since the last accident, the Ji family has assigned Ji Wenyue a personal guard at the level of a fifth-grade great martial artist - Du Yuxian.

Even in Licheng City, and even in the Ji family's traditional area of ​​influence, Du Yuxian followed him everywhere, never leaving.

"It's actually here!"

Seeing Ji Wenyue getting out of the carriage, a look of surprise flashed in the teahouse owner's eyes, and people had already stepped forward to greet her.

"Elder Wenyue Clan, Aunt Du is here, and He is welcome from afar."

"I have a friend who said he would wait for me here. Where is he now?" Ji Wenyue asked directly without being polite to the shopkeeper. "In the private room on the second floor, Mr. Wenyue Clan, please come with me." Shopkeeper He said quickly.

Ji Wenyue nodded, then turned to Du Yuxian, who was about to follow, and said, "You wait downstairs, there's no need to follow."

"Elder of the clan, this is not appropriate, what if..." Du Yuxian looked hesitant.

"What's wrong? This is the territory of my Ji family. Is there anyone else who dares to assassinate me here? And I am also a fifth-grade great martial artist now. Even if a sixth-grade great martial artist attacks me, I can resist for a while, and there are What's there to worry about?" Ji Wenyue said.

"Okay then, I'll wait for the elders downstairs." Du Yuxian had no choice but to bow and accept the order.

Ji Wenyue followed Shopkeeper He to the second floor and came to the door of the private room where Xia Daoming was.

"This is it." Shopkeeper He said.

"Okay, you go down." Ji Wenyue waved her hand.

"Yes, if you have anything to do, just call me." Shopkeeper He responded respectfully, then turned and left.

After shopkeeper He left, Ji Wenyue took a deep breath and opened the door.

What caught his eye was a familiar figure from behind.

As soon as I saw this familiar figure, bits and pieces of the desert could not help but flash through my mind like fleeting glimpses.

"Brother Xia!" Ji Wenyue could not help but cry out emotionally, her eyes a little moist.

That experience was so different and unforgettable for Ji Wenyue, who had always been protected by her family and had never experienced any danger or suffering!

Xia Daoming turned around slowly.

A young face that was not handsome but had a sense of vicissitude appeared in front of Ji Wenyue.

Ji Wenyue suddenly froze, staring straight at Xia Daoming.

"What? Did you find that I have become more handsome, brother?" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"You've become more handsome!" Ji Wenyue came back to her senses and nodded seriously.

In the desert, Xia Daoming was unshaven, his hair was like tangled grass, and his skin was rough and cracked. Ji Wenyue mistook him for a strange man at first.

Therefore, Ji Wenyue did not have high hopes for Xia Daoming's appearance from the beginning.

Although this face cannot be said to be handsome now, it is much cleaner and younger than in the desert. It also has a gentle temperament of a scholar, which is much higher than Ji Wenyue's expectations.

"I haven't seen you in five months, and you've grown taller and bigger!" Xia Daoming smiled, his eyes glancing at Ji Wenyue's murder weapon skillfully.

In an instant, sweep the floor gracefully!

"Brother... if you do this again, I won't pay attention to you!" Ji Wenyue saw Xia Daoming looking at her weapon with a sophisticated look. There was something in her words. She felt familiar and kind, but also unavoidably embarrassed, and even so... A hint of inexplicable joy.

After all, that was considered a compliment to her!

"I haven't seen you for five months, and your temper has improved. You are very well-behaved in the desert." Xia Daoming said.

Seeing Xia Daoming mention the desert, Ji Wenyue's eyes suddenly softened.

Not only did Xia Daoming save her that time, but he also spent those days wandering alone in the desert. Apart from his flirtatious words and sly eyes, he did not do anything wrong to her in actual actions. It could even be said that he cared for and cared for her in every way. .

The former is a life-saving grace, and it goes without saying that the kindness is very important.

The latter tests human nature the most and can best reveal human nature.

Xia Daoming did nothing wrong with her Qiu, and took care of her everywhere, showing his precious humanity.

It was also those short few days of experience that made Ji Wenyue grow up and mature all of a sudden.

Even because of the stimulation and training of that experience, within three months after returning, with the help of some medicines collected by her family, she broke through the fifth meridian barrier in one fell swoop and became a fifth-grade great martial artist.

The seventeen-year-old fifth-level martial artist is definitely a genius among the younger generation of many forces in Licheng.

"Okay, okay, brother Xia, can't I take care of you? Can you stop looking at me lewdly? She is still a young girl waiting for marriage! If you really want a beautiful woman, my little sister will make arrangements for you. That's it." Ji Wenyue soon walked up to Xia Daoming, looking as alluring as a little girl acting coquettishly.

"I'll go!" Xia Daoming didn't expect Ji Wenyue to say such words, and looked at her speechless for a moment.

When Ji Wenyue saw this, a cunning and proud look flashed in her eyes.

"Hey, you are already a fifth-grade great martial artist!" Xia Daoming looked at Ji Wenyue and saw a faint change in her energy and blood, and said with an unexpected surprise on his face.

"Hehe, I'm awesome!" Ji Wenyue smiled at Xia Daoming, proudly puffing out her chest.

"Well, it's indeed amazing!" Xia Daoming's eyes were involuntarily attracted, and he nodded with deep approval.

"Brother, you..." Ji Wenyue stamped her feet shyly.

"Did I make a mistake?" Xia Daoming pretended to be confused.

"Eh, no, I don't have the energy to circulate my energy and blood right now. Brother, how can you tell at a glance that I am a fifth-grade martial artist? Could it be that you have also..." Ji Wenyue suddenly realized that something was wrong, and her eyes widened.
