Jiang Wenji returned to the Royal City and returned Wu Ji's body.
Jiang Wen didn't know what had happened, he only saw Wu Ji's face was bruised and swollen when she came out.
She was a delicate and beautiful woman, yet someone had beaten her into such a state.
One could imagine how ruthless Jiang Wenji had been, showing no mercy to the girl.
Jiang Wen looked at her, and she looked at Jiang Wen.
Their eyes met, and Wu Ji sneered: "What, here to laugh at your sister's misfortune?"
"I am naturally not such a person of low taste, but I am curious as to what you did to be taught a lesson by the Heavenly King like this."
"What did I do? What could I do?
I just used her body to do some good deeds." Wu Ji pouted and smiled, then she winked at Jiang Wen, her voice soft and seductive.
"So, I'm temporarily staying at your residence now?" Wu Ji asked as she followed Jiang Wen back to the residence, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.
"Yes, for the next few days.
If you don't want to, you can find a place yourself." Jiang Wen said nonchalantly.
"If Jiang Wenji can stay, why can't I?
I insist on staying!" Wu Ji said angrily.
Seeing her stubbornness, Jiang Wen let her have her way.
Anyway, the mansion was large enough, spacious enough for a hundred or eighty people.
"Speaking of which, have you ever felt anything for your sister's body?" Wu Ji said with a smile.
Seeing her miserable appearance, Jiang Wen replied unhappily: "In this state, even if I were willing, I would be powerless."
Wu Ji's face turned ugly at these excessive words.
In the residence, Luo Ji was frightened when she saw Wu Ji.
She didn't dare to leave the backyard and could only hide in her room.
Wu Ji, on the other hand, sat boldly in the hall, drinking fine wine with Jiang Wen.
"Speaking of which, why do I feel like she cares about you a lot?" Wu Ji said unhappily, glancing at Jiang Wen.
"What is it about you that she could possibly like, you're just a Dao Palace cultivator."
"Yes, I also don't know why the Heavenly King favors me so much, perhaps it's because of my outstanding talent." Jiang Wen said with a non-smiling smile.
The two boasted to each other, and then Wu Ji found a room to rest.
Leaving Jiang Wen alone in the courtyard, quietly watching the flowers.
In the following days, Wu Ji lived with Jiang Wen, during which he also went to the Holy Land of the Luo Ren Clan and found some treasures there.
However, Jiang Wen was not greedy and only took a little before returning.
He practiced the Pure Yang Dan Scripture in the courtyard, and his alchemy skills grew day by day.
Occasionally, Xue and Xiu Qi came over, and Jiang Wen also entertained them kindly.
Xiu Qi's relationship with him was also considered good, treating him as a friend.
He would come to him to ask about many things, and the two got along well.
One day, sitting in the courtyard, Xiu Qi sighed.
"I observed your talisman method that day, and it is different from mine.
I wonder if you could teach me a thing or two?"
Hearing Xiu Qi's request, Jiang Wen naturally agreed.
He taught him his understanding of the talisman method, and also told Xiu Qi that the talisman technique was taught to him by a Daoist he met, and should not be passed on casually.
Xiu Qi naturally complied, and left happily with the talisman method.
Later, Xue came to the courtyard and had another hot pot meal with Jiang Wen.
During their conversation, Xue told Jiang Wen that she was going to the Royal Capital.
"Is this the Heavenly King's intention?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"No, it's my own intention." Xue shook her head and revealed the truth.
"The Double Marquis are rebellious, and this matter is related to the White King.
I want to personally go to the Royal Capital to resolve this matter."
"Then be careful on the road." Jiang Wen pondered for a moment, then instructed Xue.
Xue nodded, her expression unchanged.
"Will you see me off then?"
"Yes." Jiang Wen nodded affirmatively.
The two said nothing more, and Xue left after finishing the hot pot with him.
On the day Xue left, Jiang Wen specially wore a white robe and went.
From afar, he saw Xue standing outside Tianyuan City, riding on a dragon beast and looking at him.
"Tai Xu." Xue called out.
"Be careful on the road." Jiang Wen instructed again.
"Yes, I have something I want to ask you before I leave." Xue looked at Jiang Wen, a hint of emotion in her eyes.
"If you don't want to answer, I won't ask."
"You can say whatever you want, I'll tell you what I know." Jiang Wen smiled.
"Are you really called Jiang Taixu?" Xue asked again.
"… …" Jiang Wen was silent for a long time, then sighed.
He looked at Xue, a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't you know whether I say it or not?
Xue, you are still so stubborn."
"… …" Xue sat on the dragon beast in silence, only turning her head to look into the distance.
After a long time, the departing team began to move forward, and Xue finally said softly: "When I come back, there is always something I want to say to you… Master."
"Go." Jiang Wen responded with a smile.
The two said nothing more, only Xue's departing figure remained.
Jiang Wen stood in place looking at Xue, she would always look back at him.
Only when the team disappeared on the wilderness did Jiang Wen withdraw his gaze.
He sighed, his heart filled with guilt towards Xue.
"I'm sorry, Xue.
I may not be able to wait for you to come back." Jiang Wen smiled bitterly.
He felt a sense of rejection the moment he agreed to Xue's words.
He had been feeling this way for some time, but it was even stronger today.
Perhaps, he really couldn't stay much longer.
… …
Jiang Wen returned to the mansion and saw a solitary figure standing in the courtyard.
He stood in place for a moment, then walked over.
"Why have you come?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Why can't I come?" The other party smiled lightly.
Her face was extremely stunning, like an eternal glacier.
The majesty revealed in her golden eyes made even Jiang Wen feel a sense of oppression.
This was the power of bearing the Mandate of Heaven, the aura of the Lord of Humanity.
"I thought you would be very busy now." Jiang Wen said helplessly.
"There are always things to do, but I can also have leisure."
"Come in and sit down." Jiang Wen greeted, and the person was not polite.
She walked slowly into the courtyard, and the originally withered flowers bloomed again.
Fragrant grass grew wherever she walked, and hundreds of flowers bloomed.
It was like the arrival of spring, vying for beauty.
Seeing this, Jiang Wen couldn't help but sigh at her current realm, a realm that was difficult for him to match for the time being.
"What brings you here today?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Just disturbing you for nothing." Jiang Wenji smiled sitting across from Jiang Wen.
"Is she used to living here?"
"Perhaps she hasn't gotten up yet." Jiang Wen sighed.
Speaking of which, Wu Ji had started slacking off since she came back.
This dignified Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Sect was now a homebody, which was truly surprising.
"I am sometimes very envious of her." Jiang Wenji sighed softly.
"If I could, I would like to be like that too."
"If you want to, you can come and live here with me anytime." Jiang Wen didn't mind, after all, the entire Tianyuan City belonged to Jiang Wenji, what did it matter if she lived in his mansion?
"Then I won't be polite in the future."
Jiang Wenji said, and then looked at Jiang Wen.
The two didn't know what they were thinking, and both suddenly laughed.
