Crossing the Sword

The guards of the Snow Mansion already knew Ye Shisan. When they saw him coming, they were about to enter the communication room, but were stopped by a woman in white.

The woman in white was Xue Ji. After stopping the guard, she turned to Zhang Tianya and said, "Father has already told me that Young Master Ye doesn't need to be informed when he comes to see him. Young Master Ye, please follow me." Ye Shisan didn't care and followed him in.

When Xue Ji saw him following her, she was secretly happy, and when they walked, she kept leaning on Ye Shisan intentionally or unintentionally.

Ye Shisan tolerated it again and again, and finally slid away a step, saying unhappily: "Miss Xue, please respect yourself!"

He had always been lenient with Xue Ji for Xue Jia's sake, but he didn't expect that this woman would go too far. He finally taught her a lesson after he could no longer tolerate it. In fact, Ye Shisan was not a self-righteous person, but in order to get rid of this lewd woman's entanglement, what was wrong with pretending to be a saint?

"You..." Xue Ji was so decisive by Ye Shisan that she said coldly, "My father is in the study. If you don't want me to lead the way, just go by yourself." After that, she left angrily.

Ye Shisan didn't care and walked towards the study alone.

Xue Ji angrily returned to her attic, slammed the door, and locked herself in the bedroom. This didn't happen often, but it meant she was really angry. The maid outside the door naturally didn't dare to offend her at this time, so she could only wait outside, waiting for the lady to calm down and come out.

But is Xue Ji really angry?

No, after he closed the door, his angry expression immediately calmed down, and he used a not-so-quick method to set up a barrier to prevent the sound from leaking out.

Walking to the dressing table, Xue Ji sat down and made a few seals. A faint green light shot out from between her fingers, and sprinkled on the bronze mirror, which burst into a beam of light and quickly returned to calm. However, at this moment, she could not see her own figure in the mirror, but a dark hole, as if she was facing not a bronze mirror, but a dark black hole.

After a while, the black hole flashed a strong light again, and another scene appeared in the mirror. Both the style of the house and the person in the mirror had changed.

At this moment, the scene in the mirror turned into a dark secret room and a gloomy middle-aged man, who was the Eighth Master who had fooled around with her two days ago. As soon as the Eighth Master saw her, he immediately asked with an unhappy face: "You didn't fail again, how come you can't even handle Ye Shisan?"

Xue Ji said with a sad look, "That Ye Shisan is just a self-righteous guy. Every time he comes, he only borrows books from the old man. Humph, he clearly doesn't know how to appreciate my beauty. Just now, he even told me to 'respect myself', you know? It seems that I have no way to deal with him. You should think of other ways to deal with him!"

"Hmph!" Master Ba snorted unhappily and said, "Useless trash, since you can't seduce him, just forget it. Stop while he doesn't know we are going to deal with him. You've missed an opportunity in vain. Come to see me on time in the evening!" After saying that, he snapped his fingers casually, and everything in the mirror returned to normal.

Xue Ji smiled as she watched the Eighth Master disappear in the bronze mirror, and a trace of ferocity immediately appeared on her face. She said to herself coldly: "Hmph, Yaki! Who do you think you are? After I refine the Qiongqu Jade, I will make sure you know the price of offending me!" After that, she took out the magatama that Ye Shisan gave her from the dressing box, and a trace of cruelty appeared on her face.

That night, Ye Shisan was in his room, savoring the book he had just borrowed from Xue Jia. After several months of hard work, combined with the knowledge he had acquired before the time travel, he was now finally considered a cultured person. He could now understand all the books he had borrowed from Xue Jia, and he gradually developed a certain interest in this ancient culture.

At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming, and he knew it was Hua Yu. But he didn't understand why Hua Yu came to see him so late. He put down the book and said casually, "Miss Hua, please come in." This address was really awkward!

Hua Yu was about to knock on the door when she heard Ye Shisan's words, so she pushed the door open and walked in, looking a little unnatural.

Ye Shisan asked with great interest: "Miss Hua looks dazed, have you encountered any difficulties? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Hua Yu lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "Senior, I know that my attitude towards you has always been a little excessive. You saved our lives, but I always mocked you because of my cowardice. Please don't be offended, senior. I... I apologize here!" After saying that, she actually bowed respectfully to Ye Shisan.

Ye Shisan was confused by her and smiled bitterly: "Miss Hua, you didn't come so late just to apologize to me, did you? If you have anything to say, you might as well tell me directly. If I can help, I will do my best."

Hua Yu hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and then she looked up and said, "Hua Yu hopes that senior will not let my brother practice any gambling skills anymore. I'm afraid that if he also becomes addicted to gambling..."

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and asked, "You don't really think I want to teach him bad things, do you? You two have such a good relationship, didn't he tell you that I wanted to teach him how to roll the dice?"

Hua Yu shook her head blankly and said, "Why would he break the taboo and tell me about what the senior taught him privately?"

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and cursed, "What kind of bullshit rules are these?" He sighed and repeated what he had said to Luo Feng, saying to her, "Now you understand, it's just to improve your martial arts. If you want to learn it too, let Luo Feng teach you. Just say it was me who said it. I believe his teaching will be better than mine." After saying that, he gave Hua Yu a weird smile.

"Thank you, senior." Hua Yu realized immediately after she finished speaking that Ye Shisan's last sentence was very meaningful. She blushed and said, "Senior, you actually made fun of me. Senior Brother is the heir of the Luo family. How dare I have any improper thoughts?"

Ye Shisan shook his head and sighed, "I wonder if Luo Feng would be very sad if he heard this?"

Hua Yu hurriedly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Senior, I wanted to ask you this during the day. How come you knew it was me before I even knocked on the door?"

Ye Shisan explained, "In fact, everyone's footsteps are slightly different. If you listen carefully, you can naturally distinguish them. I only discovered this in the past few days, but I mastered it surprisingly quickly." Seeing Hua Yu's eyes widened as if she was listening to a foreign language, he smiled and said, "It's so late, and you're still staying here. Be careful that your brother will get jealous when he finds out."

"Senior!" Hua Yu said coquettishly, "Senior, you always make fun of me. I won't talk to you anymore." After saying that, she ran out of the door. It seemed that she came to him to "beg for mercy" just because she was worried that Ye Shisan would turn Luo Feng into a gambler.

"What a pair of happy enemies." Ye Shisan said to himself, then picked up the book to continue enjoying it.

But at this time, Huayu's footsteps were heard again. Ye Shisan was a little confused, but also wondered what she was doing here?
