The Fragrance Falls Ninefold

Chapter 114 Mood changes

Mu Zixian walked into the kitchen. It was fully equipped with kitchen utensils and was kept clean. There was a table and four benches by the window next to the door. It was obviously a common place to eat here.

Mu Zixian put the food box on the table, took out the plates, bowls and chopsticks, washed them, put them away, and then left.

When leaving, he glanced at the room in the kitchen facing the palace. The window was open, and he happened to see Yu Xiangluo sitting at the desk reading a book. Mu Zixian's eyes paused. It was indeed an extraordinary effort.

　　The fiery red dress and white ceremonial uniform make the already outstanding-looking little girl more lively. She looks much more pleasing to the eye than the so-called ladies in the imperial city.

 Sigh, I just don’t know what the master thinks. However, after meeting him a few times, he clearly felt that the girl really had no master in her eyes.

 with such a popular master, there is a girl who looks down on you and even breaks off the engagement in disgust.

Yan Xiangluo sensed Mu Zixian's gaze and looked up. Mu Zixian immediately smiled, "Miss Yu's cooking skills are the best I have ever seen."

Yan Xiangluo nodded and continued reading.

Mu Zixian was stunned. Was he admitting it? Then she smiled, she was really a special girl. If other girls wouldn't be more modest, it would be better for her to just admit that her cooking skills are better.

However, why is he not disgusted with her temperament at all?

Seeing that others ignored him, he turned around and went back to the practice room. Naturally, he told Chang Feng about this. He watched his master's reaction from the corner of his eye intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing him open his eyes and then close them, he didn't understand what his master was thinking.

His master has been very stable since he was a child. After following him for more than ten years, he has never seen his master panic. No matter what happens, he is always so calm. Being able to open my eyes is already a change in my mood.

 One afternoon, both cultivators Ji Jiuzhong, Mu Zixian and Changfeng began to look forward to dinner.

Hence, when Yan Xiangluo, who came to deliver meals in the evening, walked in, she saw three burning eyes staring at the food box in her hand.

It’s not too late to cook. Why are they all hungry?

Mu Zixian rushed over quickly and took the food box from her hand with a familiarity. He smiled so hard that he couldn't even look at it.

Yan Xiangluo turned her eyes away and looked at Ji Jiuzhong, took out the Ji Yin Xuan Wen technique and handed it to him: "Give it back to you."

Ji Jiuzhong didn't answer, "You can read as much as you want. If you haven't finished reading, you can continue reading."

Yan Xiangluo shook her head and said, "No, I've finished reading it."

Ji Jiuzhong glanced at it and finished reading it? A year's time?

Even Mu Zixian and Changfeng, who were paying attention to the food box, turned to look over. Yan Xiangluo asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

 Is something wrong?

 Is it your own words or the food?

The two of them quickly waved their hands, and Mu Zixian explained: "It's nothing, I just think that girl is really talented."

 Good talent? If you remember correctly, she is a famous Wulinggen waste material in Tianshun Imperial City.

Yan Xiangluo looked at Ji Jiuzhong, who took the Ji Seal and put it away, "They think that your talent for Xuanwen is extremely good. No one has been able to read this Ji Seal in one year."

I see.

 “I have a better memory.” Yuan Xiangluo said.

Ji Jiuzhong glanced at her. This Jiyin cannot be read by anyone with a good memory. Only those who can understand it can read it. Otherwise, it will not be read at all and the mental strength will be unbearable. However, he didn’t say much, but still asked, “What level of mysterious patterns are carved on the pattern?”

Yan Xiangluo shook his head and said, "I haven't started carving the mysterious pattern yet."

Ji Jiuzhong was stunned for a moment. She had finished reading the book, but she hadn't started carving the mysterious patterns yet. Not to mention her talent, her forbearance was astonishing.

Who can read a high-level book on Xuan Wen Kung Fu and endure it for a year without trying to carve Xuan Wen?

 At least he had never heard of it before meeting her.

After Yu Xiangluo left, Mu Zixian no longer cared about the food and said to Ji Jiuzhong: "Master, Miss Yu's talent is too scary."

Ji Jiuzhong could understand what he meant. Ji Jiuzhong glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Even though the Ji Seal belongs to the Ji family, not everyone can learn the Xuanwen technique inside it. Even if you have talent, you may not be able to learn much. He was in poor health due to fetal poison since he was a child, but his mental power was very strong. Therefore, he had finished learning the Ji Yin Xuan Wen technique before he was ten years old. It was precisely because he had finished learning that he knew what important responsibilities the descendants of the Ji family who had finished learning Ji Yin had on their shoulders.

 But this important task cannot be completed by him alone. He needs the help of someone with the same talent, and this person has never been found.

This is also the main reason why the clan wants to bring him and Qin Suyue together. Qin Suyue's Xuanwen talent is the best among them except him.

 But he knew that Qin Suyue couldn't do it. But that's not the reason why he doesn't accept Qin Suyue. His wife must be the one with whom he has a close heart and will share life and death. If he can't find her, he would rather not marry her.

Changfeng opened the food box and took out the food and laid it out. It was still four dishes and one soup. It was different from the lunch dishes. In addition to the rice noodles, the staple food was changed to a kind of pasta.

 The three of them ate them all again.

Mu Zixian sighed again: "I have nothing to say about my good cooking skills."

After dinner, he went to deliver food boxes and wash dishes when he saw Deng Changze coming back. He quickly came out to greet him. Deng Changze glanced at him, nodded, and went back to his room.

Mu Zixian was speechless. The two masters and apprentices looked really alike.

However, we also knew from this that Deng Changze was very kind to his apprentice, Yan Xiangluo, otherwise he would not have allowed their master to seek medical treatment. After all, the master's identity is Yan Xiangluo's ex-fiancé.

 After one night passed, the next day, Ji Jiuzhong felt that one-third of the injuries in his body had recovered, and he felt much more comfortable than yesterday. After all, he had managed to come to Thousand Poison Peak yesterday, and now he could go out for a leisurely walk.

Walking to the south of Qiandu Peak Palace, I saw steam coming from the kitchen. My eyes suddenly shrank, and I felt a strange feeling in my heart. This must be the smell of fireworks described in poems.

I walked over slowly and uncontrollably. When I walked to the door, I saw busy figures in the kitchen, and the smell of fireworks seemed to be stronger.

 It was then that he noticed that she seemed to like wearing red dresses.

 Watching her neatly put the prepared meals into the food box, every movement seemed to make people feel so comfortable.

 This is the first time he has seen a woman do such an ordinary thing.

Yan Xiangluo packed the food boxes and was going to deliver meals to them. When she turned around, she saw Ji Jiuzhong standing at the door. She was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything.

  Put down the food box and said to him: "Come and sit down, I will take your pulse."
