Five hundred years had passed. The patch of ground he had dug in front of the dormitory had been leveled and piled with discarded pill furnaces, purple jade bamboo, and other odds and ends.
Many spiritual plants had also been laid out to dry outside. Clearly, the person living in this dormitory now was an alchemist.
Chi Yu did not go inside. Instead, he raised his head and looked above the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest-Senior Brother Xuanji's palace had not been demolished. It still stood majestically on the mountain.
Chi Yu looked at Xie Xiyi. "Senior Brother Xuanji, Lecturer Hong's class hasn't ended yet. Shall we take a look at your old residence first?"
Xie Xiyi chuckled. "As you please... After all, a husband must obey his wife." His voice dropped toward the end, taking on a somewhat seductive huskiness.
Chi Yu: "..."
That single remark actually made Chi Yu blush, and his ears grew hot-
Was he being flirted with-with-with-with?
Author's note:
11: (slightly affected vocal fry) As you please. After all, a husband must obey his wife.

Sometimes, even someone of the same sex can really get the power of an affected voice. Evolving to have a nicer voice and a taller, stronger build is a courtship tactic too, isn't it? (That's why 11 grew taller even after dying once.)
Chapter 128: What outrageous things are you saying?
Seriously, Chi Yu, what the hell are you blushing for?!
Getting all flushed and flustered over one thing a man said was so lame!
Chi Yu slapped his cheeks hard, trying to get himself back to normal. "Let's head over, then."
They arrived at Xie Xiyi's palace. No one lived here, but it was exceptionally clean; someone presumably cleaned it regularly.
Chi Yu entered the hall.
