Crossing the Sword

Thinking of the girl's parents who seemed to be very afraid of the woman in white, Ye Shisan began to suspect that she had a violent tendency, and it was known to everyone in the city. Thinking of this, he put away the jade artifacts that he had not put away in time, turned around and asked, "Miss, do you have any other advice?" He couldn't help but be on guard.

"How dare I give you advice?" The girl in white said with a smile, "I am Xue Ji, have you asked me for advice yet?"

"My name is Ye Shisan." Ye Shisan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just asking for his name.

"I have to thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would have been in big trouble." Xue Ji smiled and said, "To thank you for your kindness, could you please come to my house and have some wine and food?"

Seeing Xue Ji's expectant look, Ye Shisan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Miss Xue Ji, you are too polite. It was just a small favor. Please don't take it to heart. And don't..."

Xue Ji didn't wait for Ye Shisan to finish speaking, and said with a look of grievance: "Mr. Ye, you said that because you are still angry with me. I really didn't mean it just now..." After she finished speaking, her eyes turned red and tears were flashing in her eyes.

Ye Shisan thought, isn't this Xue Ji a little too sentimental? However, people who don't know her will think that he bullied her. In order to prevent the misunderstanding from continuing, he had to explain: "Ms. Xue Ji, don't worry, I didn't mean that..."

"Then the young master agreed. Haha, I knew that you wouldn't be so cruel to reject someone." Ye Shisan felt so depressed after hearing this. Why did this woman like to interrupt others so much?

Just as he was about to refuse again, Xue Ji did not give him a chance. She stepped forward, grabbed him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you today, so I didn't prepare a carriage. How about you ride with me?" She was so bold when they met that even Ye Shisan was shocked.

Seeing that Xue Ji's expression changed faster than the weather, Ye Shisan hurriedly refused: "No need, I can go by myself." Meeting such a childish beauty, Ye Shisan felt a little bit amused.

Following Xue Ji to her mansion, it was a large and elegant mansion in the city. On the gate was a red pine plaque with two large characters "Xue Mansion" written on it. Thinking back to when Zhang Tianya didn't even know the ancient characters, now after a few months, he could actually appreciate calligraphy to a certain extent, which was really rare.

After Xue Ji asked the cook to prepare wine and food, she invited Ye Shisan to her boudoir. This was a taboo in ancient times, but Ye Shisan was in modern times, so he didn't care much. Seeing that Ye Shisan was not very restrained, Xue Ji was happy to talk and laugh with him.

After thanking Ye Shisan again and again, Xue Ji finally changed the subject and said, "When I saw you just now, I saw you holding a few jade artifacts in your hands. Can you let me open your eyes?"

Seeing her straightforwardness, Ye Shisan did not refuse. He reached into his bosom and took out the jade from the demon-refining pot. There were six pieces in total, and he placed them on the table and said, "These are what I just bought at the Jade Pavilion. Miss Xueji, please take a look." The six pieces included the black necklace and another blue magatama. The jade bird and jade accessories that he intended to give to Jingwei and Dingxiang were not taken out.

"Wow!" Xue Ji exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Your eyesight is indeed very unique. I have also been to the Jade Pavilion, but looking at so many jade articles, even my eyes were dazzled. I didn't realize there were such good things. Can you give me one as a souvenir?"

Ye Shisan was interested and picked up the black jade necklace and said, "I have other uses for this one. Miss Xue Ji, please feel free to choose from the others."

"Then I want..." Xue Ji looked at it over and over again, and finally picked up the blue magatama and said, "I'll take this one. The shape is very unique, and it feels very special when I hold it in my hand. This is it."

"You want this?" Ye Shisan frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ji asked, "Mr. Ye, you are reluctant to give it up and want to go back on your word, right?" As she spoke, she held the magatama tightly, as if she was afraid that Ye Shisan would not agree.

Ye Shisan shook his head and smiled, "How could that be? If Miss Xueji likes it, just accept it." In fact, when he bought it, he just felt that the spiritual energy in it was unusually abundant, and wanted to go back and study it. But that was all. After all, he was not very interested in this kind of Japanese-style things. Even when he later knew the true value of this magatama, he never regretted it.

Xue Ji got the magatama and played with it over and over again. She loved it very much, just like a child who got a new toy.

This attic is half-open. There is a roof on it, but there is no wall blocking it. Ye Shisan simply casts his eyes toward the yard and admires the scenery there.

After a while, the wine and food were served, and Xue Ji served Ye Shisan with great service. Although Ye Shisan was always cheerful and informal, he had never been treated like this before. Having seen countless big scenes, he actually felt flattered now.

After a few glasses of wine, Xue Ji's pretty face flushed. She looked at Zhang Tianya and said with a smile, "Master Ye is very skilled in martial arts, so he must have some knowledge of physiognomy. Can you help Xue Ji?"

Ye Shisan thought to himself, if you are good at martial arts, you must know how to read faces, what kind of logic is this? But he still looked at Xue Ji's face unconsciously. However, under the influence of alcohol, her face was red and her beautiful eyes glanced at Ye Shisan, wanting to refuse but also to welcome. Unconsciously, his mind was moved.

"Not good!" Ye Shisan secretly said in his heart, this is very similar to some of the charms practiced by evil women, but even more powerful. This Xue Ji wants to seduce him, what is her purpose? He quickly calmed his mind and said calmly: "Then I will take a look. Well, Miss Xue Ji has a face of longevity. I can conclude that you can live a lifetime!"

"Young Master, you are really good at talking." Xue Ji was about to take the opportunity to act coquettishly, but she immediately reacted. The definition of a lifetime is the time from birth to death, and there is no specific definition of years. In this way, anyone can live a lifetime. She rolled her beautiful eyes, rolled her eyes at Ye Shisan in reproach, and said, "Young Master, you are so bad, you actually teased me. It's so hot... I'm going to take a shower, please wait a moment." After that, she walked to the next room.

When he reached the door, he turned around and smiled, winked at Ye Shisan and said, "The door is open now, don't peek, those who peek are beasts."

Ye Shisan began to wonder in his heart, why did this Xue Ji seduce him? In modern times, he had seen this kind of magic charm, but it was not so powerful. Not only did he think back to the encounter in the daytime, was it all arranged by her? Then what was her purpose? He had just arrived in Youdu, was there any value in him?
