All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 731 - 396: Senior Sister, are you in such a hurry to find Master because you want to sleep with him?_1

Dan Wuque put down the teacup, her cowlick swaying slightly, curiously examining the pages laid out before Ji Nanjue.

They were densely covered with the events and happenings both had learned during this period, some of which she could not understand.

Then she took out a small parcel wrapped in oilskin from her Storage Ring and carefully unwrapped it, instantly filling the room with the aroma of cherry blossoms.

"Look, Sister Nan Ji, I brought you something to eat!"

"This cherry blossom cake shop has a history of several hundred years, and they make such delicious treats, you should try them..."

Ji Nanjue glanced at the cherry blossom cakes in her hand and sighed deeply, "SIGH..."

She then leaned back in her chair, several sheets of paper full of writing covering her face as she stretched out wearily.

During this period alone, just understanding the various powers of the Twenty-One Provinces and the current state of the Eastern Country had taken her several days, straining her eyes. She wondered how Lin Jinyu had managed to cope with it all for so many years.

"Truly, thanks to the Empress..." Ji Nanjue muttered to herself, the documents still covering her face. She then picked up the cherry blossom cakes Dan Wuque handed her and ate them in small bites.

Dan Wuque looked up, carefully observing Ji Nanjue's pale profile, and suddenly said, "Sister Nan Ji is so beautiful."

After a pause, she whispered softly, "It reminds me of my sister. I have no idea where she is now..."

Ji Nanjue paused for a moment, then reached out to pat her head, lightly tapping her forehead with her finger before pulling Dan Wuque into an embrace.

"She will surely come back to find him when she hears that Su Bei has awakened."

"By the way, where did you go just now? How did you return in such a rush?"

Dan Wuque, after a moment of silence, raised her head from Ji Nanjue's embrace, blinked twice, and said, "Sister Nan Ji, when I passed by North Zhi Mountain just now, I think I caught a glimpse of Ji Tongzhi!"

"But there were quite a few people with him, so I'm not sure if it was really him."

Ji Tongzhi?

Ji Nanjue's eyes narrowed instantly. She suppressed the anger rising in her heart, trying her best to calm herself. "Who was with him?"

"And where on North Zhi Mountain, exactly?"

Dan Wuque thought carefully for a moment, then said, "I think it was around Xiaoyang Village. But those few people with him didn't seem like cultivators from the Twenty-One Provinces; they looked like they came from somewhere else..."

"If it's really him, I wonder what he's planning this time. After all, Ji Beiwang should be near Xiashui Pass right now. How did he get so far away?"

Ji Nanjue nodded thoughtfully, then placed all the papers from the table into her Storage Ring. "Take me there."

Dan Wuque was silent for a moment, then nodded.

「...」

「Dao City.」

After getting the news about Su Bei from the shop assistant, Xiao Ruoching had already stepped out the door but then frowned again.

Xiashui Pass is not a good place. The battles there are fierce, with King Fuzhong and the Lord of the Northern Garrison constantly fighting. Although I guess Mo Li wouldn't drag Su Bei into any messy affairs, I still feel uneasy. I should take a couple of junior sisters along. That way, if we run into trouble, we can look out for each other. Besides, Su Bei's Sword Scabbard is still with Sword Maiden. I'm not sure about Master's current strength, but he definitely can't be without his sword.

With these thoughts, she turned and returned, heading upstairs to the room shared by Li Zijun and Sword Maiden.

As she pushed open the door, she saw Li Zijun sitting by the table near the window, holding a brush and writing on rice paper.

Sword Maiden had opened the Sword Scabbard strapped to her back. She was carefully wiping the sword blade, stained with specks of patina, using a silk cloth in her hand.

The window was propped open with a wooden peg. A breeze carrying fine rain blew into the room. It caused a lock of Li Zijun's black hair to flutter softly against her fair, tender skin, whiter than snow, creating a radiant contrast.

"Senior Sister? You're back?" Li Zijun put down her brush, turned her head to look at Xiao Ruoching, and seeing that she showed no intention of resting, asked, "Senior Sister, where are you going now?"

Xiao Ruoching closed the door behind her, walked into the room, and said, "I found out where that wretched Mo Li has taken Master."

Sword Maiden's eyes widened, and she laid down her sword, "Master? Where has he gone?"

Xiao Ruoching snorted coldly and recounted everything she knew.

Li Zijun, seeing her looking rather gloomy, couldn't help but laugh, "Mo Li wouldn't do anything rash. Why are you so jealous, Senior Sister?"

"Besides, you're not like Mo Li. Your relationship with Master is..." Li Zijun trailed off.

Xiao Ruoching's cheeks puffed up instantly, ethical principles she had almost forgotten surfacing in her mind. She stomped her foot and shot Li Zijun an annoyed look, explaining as if to reassure herself, "You really are clueless! Have you forgotten when I spoke up for you?"

"After all these years, don't you know what Mo Li is like? Is this the first time you've heard of her? That woman... what won't she do?"

"Besides, Master has already died once; his previous identity no longer exists. We are all equals now. Calling him 'Master' is just out of habit."

"Ahem, Zi Jun, Sword Maiden, if you have any other ideas, don't worry about it so much!"
