Chapter 33 Giving you a sword
After serving as the king's teacher and accepting disciples, Ji You returned to the outer courtyard from the chief courtyard.
However, as soon as he arrived at the White Jade Platform of Dengxian, Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui caught up with him, each holding a spiritual sword in their hands to give him as a thank you gift.
Ji You waved his hands and pushed him around, and finally tied the sword around his waist with a tight buckle.
The senior fellow in the inner courtyard was too rich and naive, and Ji You felt a little emotional.
He finally had some motivation to enter the inner courtyard.
"I didn't even see when Junior Brother Ji fastened the buttons..."
"With this hand speed, I was still clumsy when I fought with that evil species that day..."
"..."
Saying goodbye to his two senior brothers, Ji You walked towards Bishui Lake Graceland.
When he got a little closer, he found a woman standing in front of his door.
The woman was wearing a snow-covered gauze skirt and holding a crescent-white sword. Looking left and right, she saw that it was Lou Siyi who had gone to the banquet that day.
No matter what a woman's character is, weakness is the most important ingredient.
Being rescued by a man when being attacked on the street always brings some thoughts.
So after learning that Ji You didn't have a sword of her own, she asked someone to buy a good sword.
However, what Lou Siyi was waiting for in front of the door was not Ji You, but two other close friends who were very familiar with her, coming from different directions.
One was Lu Qingqiu, the daughter of Yunzhou, holding a long jeweled sword in his hand, and his skirt was flowing, making waves.
The other visitor was Sun Zhiqiao, who also had a long sword in his hand.
However, the three women seemed to have not ventilated themselves in advance. They were stunned for a moment after meeting, and then noticed the swords in each person's hands, which made them feel slightly embarrassed.
"Why are you here?"
"Master Ji has no sword, I'm here to give him one..."
After Lu Qingqiu heard Lou Siyi's answer, he turned to Sun Zhiqiao: "You still say they are sisters, but you act privately without discussing it with us?"
Sun Zhiqiao's face turned red while holding the sword in his hand: "Giving a man a sword is easy to misunderstand, not to mention he is Fang Ruoyao's fiancé, how can he say it out loud."
Lu Qingqiu raised his slender eyebrows slightly: "You also know that he is Fang Ruoyao's fiancé, but you still have the nerve to come over and present the sword?"
"But Qingqiu, you seem to be here to present a sword as well, right?"
Lu Qingqiu was choked and pursed his lips for a long time before speaking: "I was the host of yesterday's banquet, and I am also responsible for the attack. Besides, he rescued me twice yesterday. It's not good for me not to say anything, as it would be too close. It’s a favor.”
Sun Zhiqiao and Lou Siyi looked at each other: "Of course our lives were saved by him."
"He only saved you by accident. You don't have to be so polite."
"?"
Lou Siyi and Sun Zhiqiao were slightly startled, wondering why they saved us just as a piggyback.
Besides, it was Ji You who said that there is no need to be so polite.
Lu Qingqiu ignored them and continued talking to himself: "Besides, it was only my sword that day that he kept holding on to. I think he liked it very much, so I gave him the same one."
"It's just that your sword is closer to him. If mine is closer, the one he has been holding must be mine."
Lu Qingqiu didn't even know where his sisters' confidence came from: "When a man chooses a sword, he must choose the one he likes at first sight."
Lou Siyi rolled her eyes at her: "Of course you do it casually when it comes to life and death. How could anyone be as ingenious as Qingqiu."
"You..."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Sun Zhiqiao immediately said: "Okay, okay, since he can use three swords, wouldn't it be a good idea for each of us to give him one."
Lou Siyi stopped after hearing this, but began to hesitate again: "We are sending the sword to Fang Ruoyao's fiancé, should we inform her?"
Lu Qingqiu raised his head: "We don't have anything else on our mind. Since we have a clear conscience, why do we need to do unnecessary things? It makes people feel that there is nothing wrong."
But as soon as he finished speaking, two more figures came running next to him, one was Qian Yunxiao and the other was Bai Rulong.
The two of them also had a sword in each hand, and they collided with the three women, which was a bit unexpected.
It seemed that they all had the same idea.
Ji You stood on the mountain road not far away and watched this scene, thinking that it was better now, he was going to become Zuo Qianhu.
"Master Ji."
Lu Qingqiu just happened to see him coming along the mountain road, and stretched out his white jade arms to wave to him: "Is there any result from the investigation by the Director's Office?"
Ji You shook his head: "Something is weird, and the Directorate has no clue at the moment. You should try not to go out these days."
"You mean, they will still commit crimes?"
"The motives of the gangsters are still unclear, so it is impossible to tell whether they will stop."
Bai Rulong hesitated for a while and then said: "I have been tossing and turning these days, and I feel that my half-brother hired a murderer to do this."
Lou Siyi couldn't help but say: "I think they are coming for me, maybe they are eyeing my elixir."
Ji You smiled after hearing this.
If it was really what they thought, this would be simple.
But the problem is that this statement cannot explain why Zhang Congzhi, Cai Ziyao and three other practitioners were killed.
In the world of Qingyun, for being able to kill the disciples of the Immortal Sect without any scruples, the conspiracy behind this is far greater than they thought. Ji You came back to his senses, looked at the swords in everyone's hands and coughed: "By the way, what do you guys want from me?"
Only then did Lou Siyi and Sun Zhiqiao remember what they meant, and immediately stepped forward with swords in hand: "Mr. Ji, I heard that you don't have a sword, so we specially selected one to give you. Thank you for your life-saving grace."
Lu Qingqiu also raised the sword in his hand: "And me."
Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao also nodded: "We are too. Thank you Brother Ji for saving the two of us. From now on, the two of us will follow Brother Ji!"
"Hey, what are these words?"
Ji You waved his hand and took the five swords one by one: "I will accept the sword, but it is too precious for me."
"?"
Ji You took the sword back into the house, then lit the charcoal stove, put a few pieces of sweet potatoes on it, and sat down with a pot of water.
Seeing that the five people were still outside, he waved to them to come in.
Although he didn't have a good impression of the children of the aristocratic family, after all, he couldn't accept his sword without even giving him tea.

Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
The sweet potatoes are roasted in the red furnace, creating bursts of aroma, while the hot water is boiled first.
Ji You finished boiling the tea, then made a cup first and handed it to Lu Qingqiu who was on his right: "Put it aside first, be careful not to burn it."
"Thank you..."
Lu Qingqiu took the tea cup and couldn't help but look at Ji You.
On the night of the attack, this man pushed her away without hesitation, switched places with her in front of the sword, and couldn't let go of her sword.
Now the first cup of tea was given to me, and the tone was so gentle.
Looking more carefully, among the five teacups on the table, only two of hers and Jiyou's were of the same color, as if they were in pairs.
Sure enough, there are some thoughts that have nothing to do with the friendship between classmates...
Miss Lu, the daughter of Yunzhou, couldn't help holding her chin and staring at Ji You's side face for a while.
Ji You can indeed be called a jade tree facing the wind, and even his temperament is very good.
She had only known that the other party was a private cultivator from a remote place, but she had never noticed this.
After looking at it for a long time, Lu Qingqiu came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh.
You can see how good he is to you, but unfortunately, you won't choose him.
He didn't do anything wrong, it was just that he was born low.
Before coming to Tian Academy, the elders of the Lu family had hinted to Lu Qingqiu that he wanted to make good friends with Chu He.
Because everyone in the Chu family is a master of the upper five realms, and their talents can be passed down through the blood, this is terrible.
But Lu Qingqiu didn't like Chu He. She always felt that he was too radical and had dark thoughts. In comparison, a man like Ji You was much better than him.
But even so, Lu Qingqiu still wouldn't choose him.
The Lu family in Yunzhou started out as a spiritual mine and was already quite jealous, so they needed to unite with more forces through marriage.
It was because of this that her aunt married the son of an elder of Shanhai Pavilion.
Although the elder's son is uneducated and has no skills, he can make those who covet the Lu family's spiritual mine dare not act rashly. This is alliance.
Unless Ji You can become the direct descendant of the palace master, and then stay in the sect and become an elder, spread his branches and take root in Tianshu Academy.
But the probability is too low.
There are countless examples of people who were amazingly talented in the outer courtyard but gradually became mediocre after entering the inner courtyard. Senior Brother Ban was one of them.
When manpower is limited, only aristocratic families can pass it on to generations.
The world of Qingyun is such a monolith.
There was a folk drama about a daughter of a noble family who fell in love with a scholar from a poor family. In the end, they stayed together until they died, turning into butterflies and flying together.
But that is, after all, just a drama, a drama that only people at the bottom can write.
Lu Qingqiu thought for a long time and felt that he still needed to find an opportunity to explain his interests to him.
At this time, Ji You had no idea that the eldest lady next to him would have such intense ups and downs in his heart.
What he is thinking now is that because of this attack, it seems that he has not been able to read and comment in the Book of Heaven for a long time.
"It's getting late, it's time to go back."
After drinking a few pots of tea and chatting for a long time, Lu Qingqiu proposed to leave.
Seeing this, the others looked up towards the sky and found that it was indeed approaching dusk, so they responded one after another.
But what was surprising was that Ji You also got up and followed them out of the courtyard, closing the courtyard door.
"It's been such a long journey, so I have to come to see you off..."
Lu Qingqiu was a little worried about Ji You's quiet and secret care.
But before she could open her mouth to refuse, she discovered that Ji You was not walking with him, but turned around and went to the Enlightenment Dojo.
