Volume 1, Chapter 29, Nothing
Chu Xi'er was startled and turned around tremblingly. The person who came was a young man wearing a gray disciple's uniform. He was suave and gentle as jade.
In the Tianzhe Palace, the outer sect disciples of Chu Xier's level are all dressed in white, while the gray clothes represent the inner sect disciples, and those above are the black-clad stewards.
"I... just came here to deliver letters to Manager Liu. I saw that these bookshelves were a little dirty and wanted to clean them up." Chu Xier quickly made up a reason.
"Why are you so ignorant of the rules?" The young man in gray frowned, "Only those at the managerial level are allowed to touch the things in the pavilion. Outer disciples like you can't even look at them, let alone clean them.
One glance.”
"Sorry, I just joined Tianzhe Palace yesterday, and I don't know the rules here very well." Chu Xier lowered her head, thinking about how to escape.
During the stalemate, Liu Wei came back, and when he saw this scene, his expression suddenly became even more ugly.
"What's going on! Why are you still here!"
"Manager Liu, my disciple was passing by here just now and saw this junior sister fell down, so he stepped forward and helped her up." Chu Xier was about to defend herself, but the young man in gray was the first to smooth things over for her, "Why?
So, does it still hurt?"
Chu Xier was startled for a moment, then immediately came to her senses and continued following his words: "Thank you... senior brother for your concern. It's no longer a serious problem."
"In that case, let's leave quickly!" Liu Wei heard what the young man in gray said and dispelled his worries, "Remember to be careful in the future. Building a cabinet is extremely important. If something happens, how many heads do you have?"
It can atone for the crime!"
The two agreed repeatedly and left here quickly.
After leaving Jiageku, Chu Xier quickly thanked the young man in gray: "Thank you, senior brother, for helping to rescue the siege."
"It's okay, just be careful in the future. There are many rules here. If you are not careful, you will be punished." The young man in gray waved his hand.
"By the way, you haven't asked for advice yet?"
"I'm Yin Yun." The young man in gray smiled warmly, "I am the disciple of Lu Qinglu, the steward."
Manager Lu should be the man in black who was responsible for distributing food before. What a coincidence.
"My name is Chu Xi'er." Chu Xi'er smiled back at him.
Yin Yun cupped his fists and saluted: "You should know the way back. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany Junior Sister Xi'er."
Chu Xier nodded.
"That's good, we'll talk about it when we have time." Yin Yun left with a meaningful smile and left.
After he left, Chu Xier was a little confused. Why did Yin Yun, whom she had never met before, help her just now?
After finishing the rest of the work with this question in mind, Chu Xier returned to her residence and waited for Zhu Qingge.
It was late at night before the little fox demon came back, with tiredness written all over his face.
After entering the house and lying down on the bed, Zhu Qingge began to complain: "I'm so exhausted! If I had known better, I wouldn't have told me that I could cook, oh oh oh oh."
Although she was doing simple tasks, the amount was so high that it was a bit overwhelming for a while.
"Stop complaining." Chu Xi'er walked over to her and sat down, "Let's get down to business first. Did you find out anything today?"
The two exchanged information, but it was basically useless, which made them a little annoyed.
However, when he heard about Yin Yun's incident, Zhu Qingge's heart was filled with gossip. He immediately sat up and looked at Chu Xi'er with a wicked smile: "Oh? Are you attracted by him~
"
"Go, stop talking nonsense!" Chu Xier rolled her eyes angrily, "Can you be more serious?"
"Hey, hey, Senior Sister Chu, you are so beautiful, it's normal for someone to have a crush on you~" Zhu Qingge showed a naughty expression and reached out towards Chu Xi'er, "Do you want Junior Sister to teach you some tricks?"
Chu Xier had no time to dodge and was pushed down by the little fox demon. She immediately blushed: "Quick, get up...I'm going to be angry if you do this again."
"I don't want to, let me lie down for a while." The little fox demon buried her head on Chu Xi'er's chest, "Senior Sister, you smell so good."
After being suppressed by her for a long time, Chu Xier had an idea, reached out to her waist, and started to tickle her: "How dare you flirt with senior sister, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"
"Huh? Hahaha...it's so itchy, don't scratch it..."
………………
After playing around for a while, the two of them sat on the bed, dripping with sweat, and returned to their previous slumped state.
In the past, when Master was here, these problems could be easily solved. Why is it so difficult for them here?
In the following days, while carrying out their daily work, the two of them tried their best to inquire about information from other people. However, more than half a month later, they still found nothing.
During this period, Chu Xier also tried to sneak into the Jiage Library again, but since that day, there were two more disciples guarding the place, making it more difficult to get in.
Another thing is... Zhang Xiaoshan started to pursue Zhu Qingge.
I don’t know if it was because of the charm technique or if he really fell in love with the little fox demon. He would run to their residence every two days. When he saw Zhu Qingge, his face turned red with embarrassment and he couldn’t speak well.
The little fox demon was not interested in him at all and rejected him several times. When people around him saw this, they couldn't help but ridicule him, saying that he was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.
But even so, this boy still showed his kindness to Zhu Qingge and did not stop pursuing her at all.
In the end, whenever Zhang Xiaoshan arrived, Zhu Qingge would excuse his absence and push his senior sister out as a shield.
"Oh, it's so annoying. How long will it take to leave here?" That night, the little fox demon sat at the table, playing with his hair out of boredom. "I haven't seen the master for a long time. Could he be?"
Are you going to leave us alone?"
To be honest, she was really not used to not having Yun Yi by her side.
"Don't think too much. If you complete the task earlier, you can see the master earlier." Chu Xi'er came over to comfort her, "Why don't we think about it again, is there anything else we haven't noticed?"
"Didn't notice... Huh? Yes!" This sentence reminded Zhu Qingge, "Senior sister, don't you know that Yin Yun, or else try to get something out of him?"
In the past few days, they have been gathering information from the outer disciples, but how can these people know this kind of thing? As Yin Yun is an inner disciple, he must have a lot of information, and maybe it is possible to know the truth.
"We just met once, is this really good?" Chu Xier looked confused and her tone was a bit hesitant.
The little fox demon pouted and said helplessly: "What should we do? Is there any other way?"
