Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

After agreeing on the meeting time every day, Jiang Lu put on the new clothes that Xuannv had transformed with her magic power and skipped back to his cave.

"It really fits the old saying that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. After resolving the hatred of the past, I always feel a lot more relaxed."

After throwing back the quilt, Jiang Lu put his hands behind his head and fell backwards.

Unexpectedly, he did not sink firmly into the soft mattress, but was hit by something. Although that thing had several soft places, it still hurt him.

If it was a dead object, it would be fine, but the key point is that this thing seemed to be alive. As it was pressed down by Jiang Lu, it let out a scream.

"I'll test it!"

Jiang Lu jumped up, touching his aching back while opening his eyes wide to see what was on the bed.

But before he could ask who the evildoer was, the person on the bed started to scream: "What's going on?"

"Uh." Jiang Lu didn't know what the other party was asking, so he said randomly: "Because the force is mutual."

The next second, the bedside lamp was turned on. Jiang Lu looked closely and found that it was Zhu Zhen.

She kept rubbing the side of her waist that was hit, and it hurt so much that tears were about to fall.

"Don't you even check if there's anyone on the bed?!"

she asked angrily.

Jiang Lu tilted his head: "No, I was thinking, isn't this my home? Then is there anyone else in my bed besides me?"

"Hmm?" Zhu Zhen looked like he hadn't woken up yet, with a scripture in his arms, and he didn't seem to understand the situation.

After looking around, she was surprised and stuck out her tongue awkwardly: "That's right, but it's so strange. I always feel that the feeling just now is a little familiar."

Recalling the incident that had knocked Zhu Zhen unconscious before, Jiang Lu quickly brought the topic back and asked seriously:
"Whatever, why are you in my bed?"

Jiang Lu looked around and asked in a low voice, "Your senior sister asked you to test me, right? Humph, I'm not that kind of person! And she actually asked you to come, that's just too much."

"Test?" Zhu Zhen didn't understand what Jiang Lu was saying.

Pointing to the scriptures in her arms, she explained:

"It's true that my senior sister asked me to come here, but because I told her about what I saw you do in Miaoyin Temple during the day, she said that theoretical knowledge should not be neglected, and one should not speculate on one's own, otherwise it is easy to take a detour or even go the wrong way.

So she asked me to come over and give you extra lessons, and she also gave me the key.

But you were not there when I came, and I thought you would be back soon, so I waited for you. Unexpectedly, I was too tired after preaching the sutras all day, so I fell asleep while waiting. "

Jiang Lu was speechless: "You want to sleep in the living room, why do you sleep on my bed?"

"Because... because" Zhu Zhen said a little aggrievedly: "Because there is no place to lie down, and the chair is too hard, I can't sleep well."

"Alright, alright." Jiang Lu had never been able to resist such coquettish and cute behavior, so he just waved his hand to show that he didn't care: "Then you go back to sleep, it's my turn now."

"What time is it now?" Zhu Zhen asked.

Jiang Lu looked down at his watch, then looked up: "Ah, I don't have a watch, I don't know."

Zhu Zhen stood up from the bed, opened the window and looked out: "It seems to be the Yin hour already."

Jiang Lu hadn't heard of this way of timekeeping for a long time, so he was a little confused for a moment, and then he quickly started calculating.

It is known that Zi hour is from 23:00 to 1:00, so Yin hour is pushed back
Jiang Lu's expression became more and more solemn, but he finally reconciled with himself: "Well, it's late anyway."

"So what on earth did you do? Why did you come back so late?"

Zhu Zhen asked curiously:
"And what do you mean by temptation?"

"Hmm." Jiang Lu was silent for a moment and changed the subject: "Don't ask so many questions. It's so late. You should go back to bed, right?"

"But I feel like I've had enough sleep, and I'm not that sleepy now." Zhu Zhen shook his head: "Besides, it's so late, I can't go back. If I don't come back all night, I can still say that I stayed at my senior sister's place, but if I go back now, I will definitely be questioned by my master."

Hearing this, Jiang Lu remembered that Zhu Zhen was still living with Taoist Yuzhu.

As a daughter of a master who has not yet become independent, her daily life must be strictly supervised by Taoist Yuzhu. It does not seem appropriate to go back home so late at night.

"Then go and deal with your senior sister for one night."

Zhu Zhen shook his head again: "No, Senior Sister must be asleep now. Once she is asleep, she can't hear anything. If I can't knock on her door, I will have to freeze outside all night."

Without waiting for Jiang Lu to speak, she continued pitifully: "Brother Jiang, please let me stay here for one night."

"Brother Jiang has become Brother Jiang again, right?"

"Well, just promise me." Seeing that Jiang Lu was still hesitant and soft tactics didn't work, Zhu Zhen used hard tactics again: "Besides, you have a lot to do with my inability to go back. Who told you to run away in the middle of the night? Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for you until now, don't you think?"

"Hmm." Although Jiang Lu felt something was wrong, he also felt that it made some sense and couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"Okay then." In the end, Jiang Lu agreed reluctantly.

"Great, this way I won't be scolded by my master!" Zhu Zhen finally smiled.

Jiang Lu shook his head, hugged a pillow helplessly, and planned to spend the night on the wooden chair in the living room.

No matter what, she can't sleep on the sofa. Jiang Lu is not that Sigma.

Seeing Jiang Lu was about to leave, Zhu Zhen was anxious: "Eh? Where are you going?"

Jiang Lu rolled his eyes: "I'll go sleep outside. Didn't you say you were only used to sleeping in a bed?"

"No, do you really want to sleep?"

"Is it true or false? Why are you not sleeping so late at night?"

"Listen to my class." Zhu Zhen held up a scripture that was bigger than her face: "I brought my books with me."

"Please spare me. I was almost exhausted just now, and I still have to listen to your lecture. You might as well kill me."

"But. But." Zhu Zhen started at zero frame, seamlessly switching to pitiful mode: "If I don't complete the task assigned to me by my senior sister, I will still be scolded by her."

"Here you go again, here you go again?" Jiang Lu couldn't stand her like this.

Sighing, he threw the pillow back on the bed and sat back down reluctantly: "Okay, go ahead and tell me. I'll listen."

"No, I have to have a sense of ritual when I preach."

"Sense of ceremony?" Jiang Lu said, "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you like, I'll cooperate with you, as long as you don't mess with your ass."

After a while.

"No. Why do I feel so weird?"

Jiang Lu knelt on the pillow on the ground, looking at Zhu Zhen who was sitting on the bed with his legs stretched out and shaking. It seemed weird no matter how he looked at it.

"There's nothing strange about this."

Zhu Zhenli said confidently: "When I give lectures, I sit at the top, and the students kneel on the cushions below.

It’s just that you don’t have a futon here, so you can just use a pillow.”

"Then what does this mean?" Jiang Lu pointed to the chair leg she had just removed.

"Since ancient times, teachers have used rulers to discipline students who don't take things seriously." Zhu Zhen didn't care: "It's just that you don't have a ruler here, so you can just use this."

"Well, it's barely acceptable."

Jiang Lu frowned: "But do you have to step on me?"

"Hehe, you should combine work with rest. I can't always suppress you. I still have to stimulate your interest in learning."

Jiang Lu was stunned for a long time: "Who taught you to stimulate interest like this?!"

"Eh?" Zhu Zhen pretended to be surprised: "When you were in the car, you always secretly stared at my feet. I thought you liked feet."

Jiang Lu looked at Zhu Zhen expressionlessly, just staring at him.

Until he felt a little uneasy after looking at Zhu Zhen, wondering if he had teased her too harshly. He was just about to find an excuse to say that he was just joking to ease the embarrassment.

But Jiang Lu suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, you are really good at judging people."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhu Zhen's feet and said happily: "This is top-notch food. Not to mention eating a bite, even just smelling it can strengthen your body and prolong your life!"

"Eh!" Zhu Zhen retracted his feet as if he had been electrocuted, and looked at Jiang Lu in horror: "Why are you like this!"

"Haha." Jiang Lu smiled disdainfully: "Why don't you continue to act? Ye Gonghaolong said yes."

Zhu Zhen realized that Jiang Lu had outwitted him, and immediately pouted his lips in dissatisfaction: "You saw through it a long time ago, right? You are so mean!"

"I told you not to do this. If you want to complete the mission and preach to me, please hurry up. I'm really tired."

"understood"

Zhu Zhen knew that he was definitely no match for Jiang Lu, so he could only put away his little thoughts and teach Jiang Lu honestly.

The two got along peacefully for a while.
"So you must first get rid of all distracting thoughts, then the golden elixir can be achieved. If you are not pure, are you listening?"

As Zhu Zhen talked, he became more and more excited and immersed in the story. But when he turned around, he found that Jiang Lu had dozed off without him noticing.

She frowned suddenly and subconsciously raised the wooden stick in her hand to hit Jiang Lu hard.

However, when the stick was less than a centimeter away from Jiang Lu's shoulder, Zhu Zhen finally couldn't bear to hit him.

But such bad students cannot be left unpunished, Zhu Zhen was worried.

After thinking about it, a bold idea came into her mind.

That was the way Lu Qing punished Jiang Lu, which she had secretly seen on the train.

She had never seen anything like it, and just thinking about it made her face flush and her breathing quicken.

Want to do it?
Do you really want to do it?
Senior sister, it's all OK, so I should be fine, right?

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Zhen made up his mind.

She pulled off her white socks, looked at Jiang Lu, and made sure he was asleep, then cheered herself up in her heart.

Gently, she touched it with her toes, like a dragonfly touching the water, or like an elegant ballerina.

He controlled the weight of his body to step on it without putting too much pressure on it. After it was stable, Zhu Zhen held his breath and pressed down gently.

Jiang Lu's breathing rhythm suddenly became disordered.

This scared Zhu Zhen, but she was relieved when she found that Jiang Lu did not wake up.

Swallowing nervously, Zhu Zhen continued carefully.

After trying again, Jiang Lu still didn't wake up, which made her bolder.

So she put her other foot on it and her movements became bolder.

Instead of just lightly tapping on it, she actually grasped the snake's vital point flexibly and tightly without any instruction, and pulled it a few times arrogantly.

But this time, she finally woke Jiang Lu up.

After a moment of confusion, he raised his head in shock: "Why did I dream about being caught in a trap? What are you going to do?!"

However, Zhu Zhen was not frightened by Jiang Lu as before. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said firmly: "Because you are disobedient and secretly sleep during class, I am very unhappy."

"You're not happy that's what you're doing?"

"This is a punishment for you!" After saying this, Zhu Zhen's heartbeat became faster and faster.

"Who taught you to punish like this?" Jiang Lu was stunned: "Do you treat other students like this too?"

"They are not worthy." Zhu Zhen proudly pressed the stick in his hand against Jiang Lu's chest: "Don't move your hands, and don't struggle, otherwise I will complain to my senior sister and say that you bullied me."

"Who is bullying whom?" Jiang Lu said anxiously: "You can't be unreasonable!"

"It's like this anyway."

Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth, then suddenly stretched out one hand to cover Jiang Lu's mouth, and with the other hand, he slid the stick down Jiang Lu's shirt to his waistband, and then pulled it hard.
Jiang Lu clearly saw that something swaying seemed to be reflected in Zhu Zhen's big watery eyes.

Like a pendulum, but also like a tumbler
Queen Mother Palace.

Taoist Yuzhu finally waited for Xuannv to return.

"Master, have you found the clue you mentioned before you left?"

"Well, there are some clues." Xuannv nodded.

But she did not intend to tell Taoist Yuzhu about the letter, even though the other party was now the official head of Yao Chi, the matter involved many people and she did not want him to be involved.

"How is the result?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll take care of it." Xuannv said, "As for the Law Enforcement Bureau, you can send people out to suppress the riots if necessary, but unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best to let nature take its course."

"Then I feel relieved." Taoist Yuzhu felt relieved.

The good thing about having tall people is that you don’t have to hold up the sky by yourself when it falls, she thought quietly.

"Oh, I have one more thing to tell you." Taoist Yuzhu suddenly remembered something and said solemnly, "Jiang Lu is a little strange. After you left, I went to his cave to take a look, but I didn't expect him to be gone. I followed the aura left on him and found that his aura disappeared near the martial arts field. But I searched everywhere and couldn't find him. Could it be that he really has some ulterior motive?"

He went up the mountain through a secret passage that even you didn't know about.
Xuannv said silently in her heart, and then said: "You don't have to worry about this."

"How can I not worry about this? He took my disciple away. Alas, it's unfortunate for our sect."

Taoist Yuzhu sighed heavily, and then said slowly:
"To be honest, I can't always keep an eye on Lu Qing. How about I let Zhu Zhen live with Lu Qing for a while and be my spy? What do you think?"

"Doesn't she also know Jiang Lu?"

"They know each other, but I have questioned her and they don't seem to be familiar with each other."

Having said that, Taoist Yuzhu wanted to ask Zhu Zhen to prove it to Xuannv.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhen, who was still in the palace in the evening, was nowhere to be found at this time.

"Hey, that's strange. It should be here."

Just as he was wondering, Taoist Yuzhu suddenly felt uneasy:
"Oh no! Could it be... Grandmaster? Please follow me to have another look!" (End of this chapter)
