Soon, the two returned to Wuhou Mansion together. At this time, the mansion was already lively, and many wealthy families in the city came to visit, all for the reputation of Ji Wuzhao's Taiyin astral body. Everyone knows that aside from the identity of the disciple of the Heaven Dou Star Academy, just with her once-in-a-millennium physique, she is destined to have an immeasurable future in the future, and some people even say that her future achievements will surpass the empress of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Xu Que's luck was good, as soon as he walked into the backyard with Ji Ling'er, he saw Ji Wuzhao walking out.

As in Xu Que's memory, she is still wearing a shawl with long hair, although she has become mature, her delicate and fair face seems to remain the same, her apricot eyes are clear and bright, every movement looks very gentle, and her temperament is out of the ordinary, but there is always a faint rejection.

"Sister. At this time, Ji Ling'er shouted happily, and ran in front of Ji Wuzhao with small steps.

When Ji Wuzhao saw Ji Ling'er, a trace of frost on her face instantly melted, replaced by a doting smile, and she said softly: "Ling'er, where are you running again, come with me to receive guests." ”

She took Ji Ling'er's little hand and walked directly to the hall, never noticing Xu Que's storage from beginning to end, as if she had already forgotten Xu Que, which made Xu Que swallow back the words that he was about to say, he originally wanted to say hello to the eldest lady.

Fortunately, at this time, Ji Ling'er turned around and smiled at Xu Que, beckoned and said, "Xu Que, don't run around, I'll come to you later." ”

Ji Wuzhao also glanced back, and then turned back lightly, still without any expression.

The smile on Xu Que's face suddenly froze, a little embarrassed, but he also saw it very openly, he didn't suffer too much because of Ji Wuzhao, he was like a child in Ji Wuzhao's eyes at his current age, and he was just a familyman, how could he attract attention.

It's just that he didn't see it, and Ji Wuzhao's figure, who had gradually walked away, suddenly paused, frowned lightly, and whispered: "Xu Que, how can this little boy be familiar?"

Ji Ling'er next to her suddenly widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Sister, have you forgotten? He was your ...... three years ago."

"I remembered. Before Ji Ling'er finished speaking, Ji Wuzhao nodded and said, she did remember, and her expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Sister, how can you forget such an important matter?" Ji Ling'er pursed her lips slightly, in her opinion, the old drunkard saved his sister's life back then, and this grace should be remembered.

But she didn't know that the people who died at the beginning were far more than the old drunkard, and many of the other dead guards were uncles who watched Ji Wuzhao grow up, and they were also Wuhou's former subordinates in the northern and southern wars, compared to these people, the old drunkard became insignificant.

Ji Wuzhao shook his head and said with a slight smile: "My sister has been busy with cultivation all these years, so I forgot what I promised the old man at the beginning, but now that I think about it, it is a little difficult to do." ”

"What's wrong?" asked Ji Ling'er.

Ji Wuzhao said: "Actually, I came back from the Heaven Dou Star Academy this time because a senior brother entrusted me with help, and his clan brother wanted to participate in the stargazing conference, but the number of places in the city where they were located was limited, and they were all occupied by other people in his clan, so I knew that there was still one place left in our Wuhou City, so I wanted his clan brother to come, and I also agreed, and Shicai had already sent someone to pick up that senior brother's clan brother." ”

"Is there still a quota for the stargazing conference, so let him participate, what does it have to do with Xu Que?" Ji Ling'er's little head tilted slightly, puzzled.

Ji Wuzhao smiled and said: "Silly Ling'er, this stargazing conference is not as simple as you think, the stargazing conference is to observe the stars first, but also to observe the human physique, and then you also need to supplement the star stone to really open up the Dantian Star Mansion." It's just that every time we get the Star Replenishing Stone from the Imperial City, there are only eight of them, and all of them have been set up, you and the second brother will each occupy a place, plus other families, there will only be one vacancy left. Now that I have promised that senior brother, I will not break my word to him. ”

"Ah...... But sister, you can't break your word to Xu Que. After listening to this, Ji Ling'er suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Ji Wuzhao was stunned, a little surprised that Ji Ling'er actually spoke for the little family, but he didn't think much about it, he just felt that Ji Ling'er was kind-hearted, reached out and touched Ji Ling'er's little head, and said softly: "I'll discuss it with my father and mother when I go back, and see if there are any extra star stones in the house." ”

"What if not?" Ji Ling'er immediately asked, although she didn't pay much attention to the treasures in the mansion, she also knew that it was impossible for the Wuhou Mansion to have extra star replenishment stones, otherwise they would have been taken out and used long ago.

The smile on Ji Wuzhao's face was still the same, and he didn't take Xu Que's matter too seriously, but just replied lightly: "If there is no star stone, he can only be allowed to participate in three years." ”

This is also a choice that she doesn't need to hesitate at all, that senior brother's family is by no means comparable to the Wuhou Mansion, even the empress of the Great Zhou Kingdom is afraid that she will have to give a thin face, before she grows up, it is impossible to offend a big family for the sake of a small family, which will affect her future cultivation path.

For Xu Que, she can only sympathize, not to mention a small family from an ordinary background, even if he really participates in the stargazing conference, it is difficult to measure what physique he is, so why waste a place.

But Ji Ling'er was already anxious after hearing this, only she knew how much Xu Que was looking forward to this stargazing conference, and was about to say something, when several figures suddenly came from the front, and at the same time, a thick and powerful voice sounded, interrupting Ji Ling'er's words just to her mouth.

"Maiaki. ”

The speaker was a middle-aged man, he walked out of the hall, his facial features were as three-dimensional as a knife, although he smiled, he had a kind of self-righteousness, and his body exuded a powerful spirit.

This is a general who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and he is also the martial marquis Ji Zhigang of the Great Zhou State.

Beside him, there was a middle-aged beautiful woman with bright eyes, and her eyebrows were vaguely similar to Ji Wuzhao and Ji Ling'er, and it was not difficult to see that this was Su Yueqing, the wife of Wuhou.

"Dad, mother, Zhao'er is back. Ji Wuzhao smiled faintly and saluted the Wuhou couple.

Then the guests in the hall praised the wonderful words, nothing more than praising Ji Wuzhao's talent and appearance, and also celebrated the Wuhou couple.

Ji Ling'er stood aside, seeing that it was no longer possible to say anything at this time, she could only pout, and glanced back at Xu Que who was cleaning the backyard, and her expression couldn't help but become complicated.

"Xu Que, I'm sorry......" Ji Ling'er whispered in her heart.

At this time, Xu Que, who didn't know anything about Qiē, was in a happy and excited mood, and even the sweeping that he had always hated became full of motivation, just because the stargazing conference was coming soon, and what he was pursuing was about to embark on a journey.

That night, he stayed in his humble room, locked the wooden door, sat down on the small bed, and took out the black bag with gold trim.

"What the hell is this, and why can't it be opened?" he whispered to himself, touching his bag.

After sweeping the floor during the day, he secretly took out a bag in the backyard to try to check what was hidden inside, but found that he couldn't open the hole at all, and tried all kinds of methods to no avail. In the end, I had no choice but to go to the backyard to find a woodcutter, but after cutting it on the bag, the blade was split in half, and the bag was not damaged at all, leaving no traces of flaws.

"Could it be that this is something for monks, and it can only be opened after cultivation?" Xu muttered. He had heard that there were some extraordinary things that could only be used by monks, but they were like chicken ribs in the hands of mortals.

After thinking for a while, Xu Que shook his head and gave up, hid the bag back in his arms, and decided to wait for the stargazing conference to ponder this thing.

He lay down on the bed and quietly looked out the window at the vast and beautiful starry sky, and this night, he lost sleep, because there were only a few days left in the stargazing conference.

The excitement and anticipation in his heart had already prompted him to start imagining his life after becoming a monk, and he didn't want to be an ordinary familyman!

But he didn't notice that at this time, an invisible wisp of black qi was slowly gushing out of his lower abdomen, like a black poisonous snake, slowly climbing up his cheeks, and finally covering his entire forehead.

If he could be seen by the crazy old man of that day, he would definitely be taken aback, and exclaimed: "Boy, you are going to be unlucky if your Yin Tang is black." ”

But the mad old man was not here, and no one had ever come to his humble house to look for him.

The night gradually deepened, the stars and the moon were shining, Xu Que finally fell asleep slowly, he slept so soundly that his face slowly overflowed with a happy smile......

Finally, two days later, the stargazing conference came as scheduled......
