Chapter 480 Map
Xue Ji walked lightly to Jun Moxie's side, stretched out her slender arms, and slowly carried him to the soft couch.
She is the younger sister of Lin Wanxi's biological mother's maid. When Wanxi returned to the Demon Clan, she had no sense of belonging to the entire Demon Clan, so Jun Moyue deliberately asked her to stay with Lin Wanxi.
Whether it was because she and Lin Wanxi's mother were from the same lineage of succubi, or because of the affection for Lin Wanxi's adoptive mother, his own sister, Jun Moxie cared deeply for her.
This extraordinary care quietly fostered feelings in her heart that she shouldn't have had.
But what does it matter? She was willing.
Xue Ji gently placed her hand on Jun Moxie's forehead, and instantly, spiritual energy surged through his body like a tide. In an instant, Jun Moxie seemed to fall into a beautiful dream, and his originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
"Ruo'er..."
Jun Moxie murmured from his throat and suddenly held Xue Ji's wrist tightly.
"..."
Xue Ji sighed silently, raised her white hand lightly, took out a long incense stick from the storage space and lit it.
As wisps of green smoke rose, she slowly lay down beside Jun Moyue.
……
After waiting for several more days, Lin Chuan did not receive any news from Jun Moyue, but instead received a letter personally handed to him by Jiang Wanying.
The letter was written by Xu Hanyi, and regarding Lin Chuan, it read: "Chuan'er, don't just indulge in playfulness. Don't neglect your cultivation. If you don't show improvement upon your return, I will not let you off easily."
Then he added at the end: "Also, when I passed by Yunjinfang, I saw a skirt with exquisite embroidery and bought it. After I returned, I realized that the size was a little small. When Chuan'er comes back, please help me take a look. If it doesn't fit, Chuan'er can go with me to pick out something else."
In just a few lines, the coercion and inducement are vividly displayed.
"Achuan, find a way to reply on your own. I can't help you."
"Achuan, figure out your own reply. I can't help you."
Jiang Wanying leaned lazily on the soft couch, her fingertips twirling the loose hair on her temples, and looked at Lin Chuan with a smile on his face, who looked distressed.
"Senior Sister, do you think Master will look for us?"
Lin Chuan Lin Chuan frowned slightly and looked up at Jiang Wanying.
"I can't say for sure. But in my opinion, she probably won't come. Master has been waiting for so long that she's bound to be anxious. When Ah Chuan writes back, he should give her a return date so that she can rest assured." Jiang Wanying shook her head gently, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Return date..."
Lin Chuan rubbed his brows. He was still hiding the fact that he was going to look for the ancient tree of immortals and demons from Jiang Wanying and the others. Now, let alone a return date, it was unknown whether he could come back safely.
"Why, Achuan doesn't want to go back?"
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and looked at Lin Chuan with a smile.
"Of course I do, but aren't things here still dealt with?"
Lin Chuan touched the tip of his nose, looking embarrassed.
"If you're still worried, why don't you ask Sister Liyue to take Wanxi to Tianyao Peak?"
Jiang Wanying tilted her head and thought for a moment before giving her suggestion.
"..."
Lin Chuan's expression changed constantly. After a long silence, he spoke softly, "Senior Sister, I want to go to a ruin..."
He wanted to keep this a secret, but suddenly remembered that Bai Zhi could track his whereabouts at any time. If he left secretly, he would definitely be discovered. Then he was afraid...
"Ruins? What ruins? Could it be that Ah Chuan is going to look for the Immortal Demon Ancient Tree?"
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, quickly stood up from the couch, took light steps, and slowly walked in front of Lin Chuan, her eyes fixed on him.
"..."
Lin Chuan pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment of silence, he nodded gently, "Yeah."
"Did the old man ask you to go?"
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows, and her tone was filled with undisguised dissatisfaction and questioning.
"I wanted to go there myself..."
Lin Chuan lowered his eyes with a calm expression, and then told Jiang Wanying the whole cause and effect without reservation.
"Achuan is telling me now, you originally wanted to go secretly?"
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly and looked straight at Lin Chuan.
"Well, but I don't think this is a good idea. After all, my senior sister and I are companions who have shared weal and woe."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, gently holding Jiang Wanying's hands with both hands, his eyes full of sincerity and tenderness, "I shouldn't hide this kind of thing from you."
"..."
Jiang Wanying's cheeks flushed suddenly, her eyes dodged for a moment, and then she bit her lip lightly and said angrily, "Since Ah Chuan is so honest, I will accompany Ah Chuan for a trip."
"Thank you for your hard work, senior sister."
Lin Chuan raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of tenderness, and reached out to gently stroke the hair by Jiang Wanying's ears.
In fact, it would be better for Jiang Wanying and Bai Zhi to go with them. Lin Chuan had seen their strength among the demon tribe. If they went to the ruins together, they would have a better chance of success.
……
The next day.
Inside the meeting hall.
"Keep this."
Jun Moxie looked solemn as he slowly handed a roll of rice paper to Lin Chuan and said in a deep voice.
"This is……"
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of doubt. He reached out to take the rice paper and slowly unfolded it.
After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, his expression froze slightly. "A map?"
"Well, during this period of time, I sent hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators to the ruins, and this time, five of them came back."
Jun Moxie nodded slightly and let out a soft breath, "They were all seriously injured, and they didn't find the Ancient Immortal Demon Tree. But based on their stories, combined with Wan Xi's previous accounts, I drew this... half-finished map of the ruins."
"Does this mean that the power of the restrictions in the ruins has also been reduced?" Lin Chuan's eyes flashed slightly.
"Yeah." Jun Moxie nodded slightly.
"Okay, then, Senior Jun, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I will be ready to leave tomorrow."
Lin Chuan looked calm, quietly waiting for Jun Moxie's answer.
"I've asked Xue Ji to take care of everything that needs to be said about Wan Xi. There's nothing else to do. Let's continue our drinking contest. It seems like we didn't have a winner last time, right?"
Jun Moxie's lips curled up slightly, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and his originally serious expression relaxed, with a bit of free and easy and heroic.
"..."
Lin Chuan was slightly startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The image of Jun Moyue talking nonsense while drunk instantly appeared in his mind. He felt a sudden fear in his heart for no reason, and a desire to resist arose.
He laughed dryly twice, his eyes slightly apologetic, and politely declined: "Forget it, Senior Sister wants me to go back early."
"Okay, it's different for people with a partner. There's someone waiting for them, unlike me, who can only get drunk alone."
Jun Moxie curled his lips and waved his hand gently.
"With Senior Jun's status and position, would you still be without a Taoist companion?"
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"Do you think I'm as fickle as you?" Jun Moyue glared at Lin Chuan unhappily.
"Isn't that what Senior Xue said?" Lin Chuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"she……"
Jun Moxie opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
He recalled that he had originally sought out Xue Ji with the intention of finding someone to take care of Lin Wanxi, but as they spent time together, he seemed to have gotten used to having her around, and he would unconsciously confide in her if he had any troubles that were inconvenient to share with his subordinates.
"Okay, I'm going back now. Senior Jun, drink it yourself."
Lin Chuan shook his head, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Smelly boy..."
Jun Moxie spat softly, picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ruo'er, I'm here to see you..."
After a few drinks, Jun Moyue lay on the ground, staring at the ceiling with a dazed look.
He didn't know when it started, but whenever he got drunk, his deceased wife would appear in his dreams.
"Ruo'er, is that you..."
As his consciousness gradually blurred, he vaguely saw a beautiful figure...
