Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Five: Returning Without Success
Ji Yu compared Xu Ruoguang with a "understanding" gesture and went out casually.
Xu Ruoguang, Gu Xiu and Peng Chang fought back to the original inn. An hour later, Xu Ruoguang received a message from Ji Yu, "Ji Yu asked us to go to the alley where the Xiang family is. He had already met his cousin, and his cousin and aunt both expressed their willingness to help."
Gu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them rushed to Tongxin Lane where the Xiang family was. They met Ji Yu and his cousin Jing Tiao at the entrance of the alley. As soon as they saw the three of them, Ji Yu hurriedly brought his cousin to meet him.
"Ruoguang, Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Peng, this is my cousin Jingtiao." Ji Yu introduced to the three of them.
Gu Xiu originally thought that Jingthorn was a person with a figure similar to Xueshan, like a big guy like a mountain, but now when he saw Jingthorn, she found that he was a pretty male cultivator in the Sanshen stage who looked in his twenties. When he heard Ji Yu introduce himself to Xu Ruoguang and the other two, he hurried forward to salute Xu Ruoguang. "Senior Xu," and he politely argued with Gu Xiu Peng Chang, "Fellow Daoist Peng, Fellow Daoist Gu, you are Guangyue's friend, that is, my friend. If you have anything to do in this Fancheng in the future, even if you come to me, as long as I am in Fancheng, it will not be a problem."
The last few words were quite generous, which made Gu Xiu feel that the irritable man in Xu Ruoguang said before because of Ji Yu's stepmother, and she burned her hair in anger... Well... the generous man is a bit similar.
Ji Yu explained: "Actually, my aunt originally wanted to come here in person, but the third wife of the Jing family who we are friends with is the third wife of the Jing family. However, Mrs. Jing was also affected by the chaos a month ago and is now in seclusion and healing.
So even if my aunt wanted to visit the Xiang family, she couldn't find a good excuse. Fortunately, Cousin Jingtiao and the eldest son of the third wife of the Xiang family, the five young Xiangs, were back together, so Cousin Jingtiao took us to try it out and see if we could take us into the Xiang family."
Gu Xiu hurriedly bowed to Jingtie and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Jing."
Jing Thorn waved his hand and said, "It's hard to say whether he can help. The Xiang family's portal is very strict now. I wanted to send a message to Xiang Hui before, but the message talisman was outside and was blocked by the Xiang family's house protection array."
When Gu Xiu heard Jingtie's words, she felt a little sad. She suddenly felt that this visit to Xiang's house would not be so smooth.
However, no matter what, Gu Xiu still sincerely thanked Ji Yu and Jing Thi, "Fellow Daoist Jing, no matter whether he can successfully enter Xiang's family, I would like to thank you for your help this time."
The group of five people went to the Xiang family. The gate of the Xiang family was closed, and there were not even servants guarding the door outside the door, but there were divine breath light shields on the gate and the wall, and obviously an extremely strict defensive formation was arranged.
Instead of going forward to knock on the door, Jingtie took out a jade plaque and knocked it three times in a row.
While Thorn's hand knocked on the jade sign, the vermilion gate of the Xiang family also sounded "dong dong dong". After a while, the gate was opened from the inside. A male cultivator in the late stage of the celestial period leaned out of the door and saw Thorn standing outside the gate. He greeted: "Master Jing San? Are you here to look for our fifth master?"
Jingtie nodded and asked, "Xiang Si, is Xiang Hui in the mansion?"
The late-stage cultivator of Ningxi was not right: "It's still there, but the ancestor and the head of the family ordered the fifth young master not to see guests, so Master Jing San is really embarrassed. I can't let you in. If you have anything important, I can help convey it..."
"You ancestor and the head of the family just restricted your return from meeting guests?" Before the late-stage monk of Ningxi finished speaking, Jingtie raised his hand and interrupted him and asked.
"It's not just the fifth young master, but the third master's family. The ancestor and the head of the family ordered the third master's family to not see guests during this period, nor could they take people back to the mansion, nor could they go out by themselves." The late-stage monk of Ningxi replied.
"How long does this period of time mean?" Jingtiao asked again.
Xiang Si in the late stage of Ningxi shook his head, "I don't know, the ancestor and the head of the family did not say it clearly. I thought that after the ancestor's injuries were completely healed, the third master's family should be able to enter and exit freely."
"Then when will your ancestor's injuries be completely healed?" Jing Thorn asked again.
Hearing Jingtie ask this, Xiang Si shook his head repeatedly, "How can this junior know that the ancestor's injuries cannot be asked about."
Jingtie nodded, and was not surprised to his answer. He threw a small storage bag and rewarded Xiang Si. Xiang Si used his spiritual sense to explore and found that there were about a hundred golden beads inside. He immediately smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for the reward of Master Jing San!"
After leaving the Xiang family, Gu Xiu was at a loss. The Xiang family now has such strict defense, and it is extremely difficult for her to rescue Gu Shu from it.
Jing Thief said: "Guangyue, senior Ruoguang, why not go to my house first and discuss with my mother. Maybe she has a solution but it is unknown."
Now, this is the only way.
The group went to the Jing family again. Ji Yu's aunt, Yue Qiyao, the second wife of the Jing family, was a late-stage monk of Sanshen. She looked like a middle-aged woman, with an ordinary appearance and a serious expression. Even when she saw her biological son, her expression did not ease much.
When she saw Ji Yu, she looked slow and smiled. She waved to Ji Yu and said, "Guangyue, come to my aunt and let me see if there has been any changes in the past century?"
Ji Yu smiled and came forward, "Auntie, I don't know if I have any changes, but I have changed a lot."
"Oh, where has my aunt changed?" Yue Qiyao asked.
"I almost lost my understanding of my aunt, and I became younger and younger, looking like my cousin's sister." Ji Yu said with a sweet mouth.
Xu Ruo looked at Ji Yu strangely. They didn't know that Ji Yu had such a side, but Jingtie was no longer surprised. He had long been used to the fact that his mother would melt the iceberg face whenever she saw Ji Yu.
Yue Qiyao laughed and raised her hand to pretend to hit him, "You slippery guy, have been sweet since you were a child."
"Auntie, I'm here this time, I'm actually asking for something." Ji Yu finally got to the point.
Yue Qiyao glanced at him, then looked at Jingthorn again, and asked clearly: "Didn't the Xiang family let you in?"
Jingthorn nodded, "Xiang Si said that before Xiang Dehai went into seclusion, he issued an order that the three-bedroom family members of the Xiang family could neither leave the mansion nor bring people into the house during this period."
Yue Qiyao nodded, "I guessed it would be like this."
Ji Yu was surprised: "Auntie, why did Xiang Dehai only order the three bedrooms of the Xiang family to be fine?"
"Because the third room of the Xiang family is the only room where everyone has not practiced with the furnace and cauldron, so..."
"So the Xiang family is guarding against the third room?" Ji Yu immediately understood why the ancestor of the Xiang family only gave this order to the third room. This is because he cannot be as good as the light, so his heart will be different.
