Ning Jie knew that Mi Chen's appearance was peerless, but he had long been used to his stern appearance, so he was somewhat resistant to his appearance.

Today, he still looks like jade.

But this jade is like a piece of white jade put into the best peach juice, which is dyed with a thin layer of red.

What's worse, rouge was painted on his lips.

Bright red but not strong, like a glass of wine, it leaves a fragrance on the lips, but it is slightly spicy when it enters the throat.

It's like gentle peach wine, but it's actually full of energy.

Previously, Ning Jie felt slightly in his heart that Jiang could not control his facial expressions, which was a waste of so many years of cultivation.

Now it was his turn, but he had to admit that he couldn't help being stupid.

Mi Chen looked at Ning Jie with a dumbfounded expression, feeling ashamed and angry in his heart.

He slowly took a breath, endured the extremely uncomfortable feeling in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Ning Jie, slightly lifted his hand covered by the red silk, and said coldly: "Untie it!"

Ning Jie immediately came back to his senses, knelt on half knees, lifted the red gauze and untied the soft gauze that bound Mi Chen's hands.

After Mi Chen released his hand, he immediately tore off the silk curtain beside him to wipe off the rouge from his lips.

Ning Jie stood up and stood aside awkwardly.

Mi Chen wiped off the rouge from his lips, stood up and looked at Ning Jie with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Do you still have spiritual power?"

Ning Jie shook his head: "No more." Seeing that Mi Chen frowned, he quickly said, "I couldn't control my body before, but now I can control this body."

Mi said in a calm voice, "Is it worth being happy?"

Ning Jie's gaze unconsciously moved from under Mi Chen's eyes to his lips.

He could see that Mi Chen really wanted to wipe off the rouge on his lips, but he tried too hard, his lips were originally only light red, but now they were really red and swollen.

Fortunately, he used soft silk, otherwise his thin and fragile lips would definitely be bleeding.

Ning Jie pursed his lips and said softly, "Happy."

Mi Chen: ...

Seeing that Ning Jie was absent-minded, Mi Chen frowned and said, "Why are you so careless today?"

Naturally, Ning Jie didn't want to disappoint Mi Chen, and hurriedly said: "Master, this disciple is thinking about something. When I found out that Wang Zhen was on a boat when I crossed the pontoon bridge."

Mi Chen frowned even tighter: "Wang Zhen?"

Ning Jie nodded, and he immediately said, "Master, what did you see in Yuan Xi's body?"

Mi Chen shook his head: "It's just a blush, I didn't see anything." After saying that, he said with deep eyes: "It seems that this is an illusion set up by Jiang Que."

Ning Jie replied: "The disciple also guesses like this."

Do you know who the person who set up the illusion is?

But the question is how they get out of this illusion.

Mi Chen was the first to break the silence and said, "Since it is an illusion, it must have the shortcomings of the owner of the illusion. Let's go out and check it first."

Ning Jie nodded.

When the two walked to the front hall, all the guests were talking and laughing, but Qi Zhen, who was the matriarch of the Jiang family, disappeared.

Ning Jie said: "Master, since the wedding banquet is still going on, it means that Jiang has not fallen asleep, and we can detect that Qi Zhen is not there. I am afraid that Jiang also looked for Qi Zhen at that time."

Mi Chen turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ning Jie replied: "Master, Jiang once said that this marriage is a transaction. My disciple guessed that he probably knew that his father was practicing forbidden arts."

Mi Chen thought about it carefully, and said, "Ah Jie, could this kind of transaction be just a marriage between two families?"

Even in the world of comprehension, the two sects will marry in order to occupy favorable resources.

Although Rushan is not in the realm of cultivation, the Jiang family has been criticized in Rushan because of the custom of the groom not seeing off guests. In order to make herself and Jiang live comfortably, Qi Zhen wanted to marry Rushan's respected family to save her reputation. It's not impossible.

Ning Jie shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Wang Zhen once said that Rushan lives on Jiang, and Jiang's surname is the most important thing. It is very difficult for a foreign surname of the Yuan family to be respected in Rushan." He paused, and continued: "More important What's more, in Jiang's conversation with Qi Zhen, he emphasized the roots, not the high morals of the Yuan family."

After listening to Mi Chen, he said, "Ah Jie, tell me everything you saw in Jiang Que's body."

Ning Jie then told Mi Chen everything he saw.

After he finished speaking, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly raised his hand.He probably wanted to touch his hair, but he touched the velvet flower on the hair crown, and said in a low voice while touching: "Master, this disciple suddenly feels that there is something wrong with this river carp."

Mi Chen looked at Ning Jie who was contemplating with lowered eyebrows, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Just as Ning Jie was about to answer, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a man in a red dress and a mask hurrying across the corridor and walking towards a certain place.

Mi Chen also noticed: "Go first."

This person has a nimble figure and does not avoid people. He walks through the Jiang family blatantly. It seems that he is very familiar with the Jiang family's environment and is very purposeful.

Sure enough, he stepped into the inner courtyard without hesitation and entered Qi Zhen's room.

Ning Jie and Mi Chen looked at each other, and they walked out of Qi Zhen's room tacitly.

Without Ning Jie's action, the paper on the door and window was punctured, presumably Jiang Que did it.

The man in red took off his mask when he entered the room.

Ning Jie and Mi Chen knew that this person must be the person Qi Zhen recruited to pretend to be Jiang Que, and also guessed that he must be someone Qi Zhen trusted very much, but neither of them expected that this person turned out to be Qi Gu who disguised himself as a man.

Qi Zhen asked, "Nobody found you, did they?"

Qi Gu shook his head and replied, "No one."

Ning Jie's pupils trembled.

He turned his head and said softly: "Master, this is Jiang Que's voice!"

When Mi Chen heard Qi Gu's voice, astonishment flashed in his eyes.After hearing Ning Jie's words, he asked with his lips: "Are you sure?"

Ning Jie nodded in confirmation.

Mi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, subconsciously stroking the hairpin that Ning Jie gave him with his pale and slender fingers, and said in a low voice, "Phantom sound medicine."

Without waiting for Mi to ponder, Qi Zhen in the room said again: "It's no wonder that after studying Jiangqu for so many years, your voice after taking the phantom sound medicine is exactly the same as that of Que'er."

Qi Gu smiled and said, "That's true."

The smile on Qi Zhen's face didn't last, but it was replaced by worry in an instant: "Did Yuan Xi send it over?"

Qi Gu nodded: "Madam, don't worry, everything has been done."

Hearing this, Mi Chen was convinced that Jiang Que really knew what his father had done.

Mi Chen winked at Ning Jie, and Ning Jie immediately understood what Mi Chen meant.

The two left the door tacitly and walked to the corridor on one side.

Mi Chen habitually put his hands behind his back and said, "We still need to investigate carefully."

Ning Jie nodded, and then he said: "Master, why don't we come to the ancestral hall again?"

Mi Chen didn't reply, but walked towards the Zipan Pond beside him.

Ning Jie watched Mi Chen resolutely walking towards the pond in the moonlight beside the peonies in a red dress. At this moment, he didn't feel the enthusiasm of seeing the beauty in the flowers under the moon at all, and only had an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He couldn't hold back, took a step forward, and shouted: "Master."

Mi Chen stopped listening to the words, and looked back.

Seeing Ning Jie's flustered face, he comforted him and said, "No problem."

After the words fell, Mi Chen didn't look back and continued to walk forward.

When they arrived at one place, Mi Chen stopped, and he slightly retracted his sleeves and raised his hand to touch, and the red Lingbi appeared in front of them.

Mi Chen touched the red spirit wall with his fingertips, and said softly, "As expected, we are within Jiang Que's field of vision."

Ning Jie pressed down with unexplained panic, walked to Ning Jie's side, and reached out to touch the red spiritual wall just like him.

He said softly, "This is Jiang Que's world."

After Ning Jie finished speaking, he turned to look at Mi Chen, and at this time Mi Chen also turned to look at him.

The eyes of the two met, and there was a tacit understanding in the air.

As the two said, this illusion is Jiang Que's world, and in a short while, the sky will be twilight.

Mi Chen looked up at the sky and said, "Go back to your room."

Ning Jie suppressed the tingling pain caused by the panic, and returned to the new house with Mi Chen.

The two opened the door, and the room was empty.

But soon, the familiar smell of spices slowly hit.

Mi Chen's face fluctuated, and the souls of the two of them pulled out immediately. They stood to one side, looking at Jiang Que and Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi bowed to Jiang Que in ordinary clothes.

Jiang nodded slightly with cold eyes, and had no intention of helping Yuan Xi up.

Yuan Xi didn't care, and got up by himself.

Yuan Xi said: "I was tired last night, and it is inconvenient to talk about some things on our wedding night. I am looking for you today. Besides saying hello to my mother, I also hope that the Jiang family can fulfill their promise and take the ancient camphor branch that tested the spiritual root. Let me take a look."

Jiang frowned and said, "Why do you want this?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "There is a young girl in the family, and I want to know how her spiritual root is."

Jiang Que replied: "On the day of returning to Ning, just take it with you."

Jiang was impatient with Yuan Xi, he said coldly: "Let's go, mother is waiting for us."

Yuan Xi called out to him: "Jiang Que!"

Jiang stopped, but he didn't turn his head, he just asked impatiently, "What else is there?"

Yuan Xi didn't care about Jiang Que's attitude either, she smiled lightly and said, "Jiang Que, I want to use it today."

Jiang Que said, "Why?"

Yuan Xi said in a flat tone: "Before Jiqian, my mother brought me to the house. According to the customs of Rushan, women and Jiqian can come to Jiang's house to test their spiritual roots. My mother then took out the ancient camphor branch and let me hold it lightly. I didn't know my identity until that day. His spiritual roots are considered excellent."

Jiang Que said in a lukewarm tone, "What do you think?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "I want to test my spiritual roots again."

But Jiang replied, "Yes." After saying that, he showed a sarcastic smile: "If you want to use it, then say you want it. You don't have to use your sister as a cover."

The air suddenly stagnated.

After a long time, Yuan Xi said, "Jiang Que, you hate me very much."

Jiang still didn't look back, he sneered and said, "I'm quite self-aware."

Yuan Xi was silent again.

Jiang was impatient. He said coldly, "Let's go. If you don't go, you will miss the hour."

Yuan Xi didn't move, but said: "Jiang Que, are you loathing me, or..." She paused, and continued with a voice of disbelief but a dusty sound in her tone: " Misogynistic."

But Jiang really lost his patience: "What's the difference?" After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Obviously, Jiang really didn't care about this newlywed wife. He didn't go to greet Qi Zhen, but came to the study.

He pushed open the door and stepped in.

There are two desks in the room.

One is full of delicate stationery utensils, compared with this one, the other is too plain, the pen is made of simple rabbit fur, there is no paper, only full of books.

But Jiang walked aside, picked up a book from the table, opened a certain page, took out Manzhushahua's flower stick from it, and said with lovesickness: "A Li."

Ning Jie looked at Mi Chen, and Mi Chen nodded slowly.

Ning Jie took a step forward and said, "Young Master Jiang, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. Ning Jie is polite." After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted slightly.

Jiang in front of him was like a phantom, he couldn't hear Ning Jie's voice, and he seemed to be the only one in the whole study.

But Jiang focused on his fingers, making the slightly withered flowers more colorful.

Ning Jie was not surprised either. He loosened his fist with one hand behind his back and put the other hand in front of his abdomen. He said with a refined smile, "Young Master Jiang seems to have noticed that your original partner, Yuan Xi, is a little different."

However, Jiang put the flowers in the book, showing his concern.

Ning Jie was unmoved when he saw Jiang Que, and the smile on his face deepened. He took a step forward and quickly snatched the book from Jiang Que's hand.

However, when Jiang realized that Ning Jie wanted to seize the book, his killing intent suddenly rose.

But he didn't expect that Ning Jie lost all his spiritual power, and he was still not Ning Jie's opponent.

Jiang stretched out his hand, and said with gloomy eyes, "Give me back the book."

Ning Jie didn't seem to feel Jiang Que's killing intent, he calmly took out the manjusawa plant from the book, played with it in his hands, and played with the taste: "Manjusawa, a thing of the devil world, means horror and blood. However, it is also in line with Jiang Li."

Ning Jie looked at Jiang Que with a livid face, and smiled slightly: "Manjusawa, hope in a desperate situation." Ning Jie said this, and he slightly put this Manjusawa in his palm.

Jiang Que's eyes changed: "No!"

It's a pity that the flowers are in the hands of Ning Jie, and Jiang Que's wishes are nowhere to be expected.

Ning Jieqian smiled, but squeezed the flower into powder with his fingers.

His tone was soft: "Just as she killed the ghost groom who has been endangering Rushan for many years in her own body as a bride." His tone suddenly changed, with a hint of gloom: "Break the most disgusting taboo."
