Chapter 25 Chapter 25 "I'm going to be on top this time"...
Who is the gangster?
Looking at Ye Yunxi jumping up from his arms, Ning Shuangchen couldn't help but want to laugh.
This was just a normal reaction, but Ye Yunxi used his hands directly, which made him look more like a gangster than him.
Besides, it’s not like I haven’t encountered this before…
After saying this, someone would definitely get angry again, so Ning Shuangchen shook off his robe and stood up.
Ye Yunxi had no memory of how he had fallen asleep in Ning Shuangchen's arms last night, but judging from the location of the dividing line in the cave, he had indeed moved there himself.
Thinking of what he said last night, Ye Yunxi's face showed a trace of embarrassment. When he saw Ning Shuangchen stand up, he became alert.
He stepped back quickly and asked in alarm, "What are you doing?"
"Go out and solve it." Ning Shuangchen said as he looked at him. Seeing that Ye Yunxi was avoiding him like a snake or a scorpion, he wanted to tease him again. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? You want to help me?"
Help him?
How can this help?
Realizing that Ning Shuangchen was teasing him, Ye Yunxi's face turned red, and he stared at him fiercely and spat out one word: "Get lost!"
Ning Shuangchen curled her lips slightly, turned around and left the cave before Ye Yunxi got angry.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear Ye Yunxi's anger, but he was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would really not be able to control himself.
I just had spiritual practice with Ye Yunxi once, how come it turned out like this?
Ning Shuangchen glanced in the direction of the cave entrance, and narrowed his eyes when he turned around.
I don't know when it started, but the relationship between him and Ye Yunxi gradually became subtle.
Even though they knew that they were old enemies and that Ye Yunxi hated him, he still couldn't help but provoke him.
I want to see him angry, shy, and cry...
The image of Ye Yunxi about to cry emerged in Ning Shuangchen's mind. Her breathing became slightly heavier and she unconsciously quickened her movements.
And at this moment.
In the cave.
Thinking about his hand touching that thing, Ye Yunxi couldn't help but feel his face getting hot even though there was a layer of cloth between them.
Doing this early in the morning...
Ning Shuangchen is such a rogue!
Still wanting him to help, this guy is really... shameless!
Ye Yunxi was both embarrassed and angry.
This anger continued until Ning Shuangchen finished dealing with the problem and came back from outside.
Ye Yunxi returned to the same state she was yesterday, turning her head to the other side, as if she didn't see him, and ignoring him with a stern look on her face.
Ning Shuangchen was already used to his temper and knew that he was still feeling awkward. She packed up the things she had taken out of the storage bag and took the initiative to talk to him, "How are you? Are you feeling better today?"
Ye Yunxi was confused at first, but then he realized that Ning Shuangchen was asking about a wound somewhere, and his earlobe turned slightly red.
What else can I do?
It won't be healed so quickly.
It’s all Ning Shuangchen’s fault.
Asking him to stop would be going too far.
Ye Yunxi frowned slightly and gave him a look of self-understanding: "What do you think?"
There was a hint of complaint and blame in his tone.
Ning Shuangchen heard the hidden meaning in his words and knew that he was in the wrong. He paused and said, "Then let's rest for two days. We'll go again after two days."
Ye Yunxi then turned around and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Then he thought of the place Ning Shuangchen had been yesterday and asked, "Thatched hut?"
Ning Shuangchen nodded.
He checked the area yesterday and found that apart from the thatched cottage, there was only a peach blossom forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
He suspected that they had not left the forbidden area, nor had they left the bottom of the cliff. They were still in the bedroom, but had entered the illusion of Master Jiyue.
This illusion was specially created for their spiritual practice.
If one wants to leave completely, he can only rely on spiritual practice to recover his skills until the full moon night mentioned in the secret book arrives.
"That thatched house and the cave are not far from each other. I think the people who lived there were most likely the two sword masters." Ning Shuangchen said slowly, "But don't worry, wait until you recover from your injury."
Hearing that they were going to the thatched cottage, Ye Yunxi immediately perked up and said hastily, "I'm fine now, let's go now."
He only stayed in the cave for half a day before he could no longer stay there.
Ning Shuangchen looked him up and down with a somewhat suspicious look, obviously not believing him.
Ye Yunxi then took two steps forward and said to him, "See, I'm really fine."
When I took the third step, I accidentally pulled the wound and couldn't help but gasp.
Ning Shuangchen saw this and shook his head: "Let's rest for another two days."
Seeing him shaking his head, Ye Yunxi finally lost her patience, and immediately frowned, and called out his name word by word with a serious face.
"Ning, frost, dust."
If it wasn't Ning Shuangchen, how could he have been injured?
Now the culprit is taking care of him.
Seeing Ye Yunxi's angry expression, Ning Shuangchen knew that he was really going to be angry this time, so he took out the pills that he had left for him yesterday and said softly, "How about this, you take this pill and we'll go?"
Um?
Just take the pill and go?
Ye Yunxi glanced at him, and like a cat whose fur had been smoothed over, he instantly calmed down when he heard these words.
He took the jade bottle containing the elixir in one hand. Although he knew Ning Shuangchen meant well, he still didn't look at him well. "Eat it if you want."
Seeing him swallow the pill, Ning Shuangchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his lip slightly.
Young Master Ye doesn't have a bad temper, but he's very easy to cajole.
Despite this, they still rested in the cave for a day, and only set out for the thatched cottage deep in the peach forest the next day.
It was just as Ning Shuangchen said, the thatched house and the cave were not far away. After wading across the lake, one could see a corner of the eaves sticking out from the peach blossom forest.
However, their current recovered skills were not enough to allow them to fly with swords, so they could only go on foot.
Ye Yunxi thought that since the thatched cottage was located deep in the peach forest, it must be desolate and shabby, with the beams and roof probably shabby and covered with cobwebs, and wild grass growing wildly around the cottage.
When I arrived at the door of the thatched cottage, I found that it was completely different from what I had imagined.
It was indeed a thatched hut, but it did not look shabby or dilapidated. Instead, it was neat and clean, with only a lot of peach petals scattered on the ground.
In front of the thatched cottage is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, with a small vegetable patch on the east and a well on the west. Peach blossoms and peach trees are in full bloom on all sides, making it a good place to live in seclusion.
Ning Shuangchen stopped in front of the fence and said, "This is it."
Three large and imposing characters were hung above the gate of the courtyard.
Ye Yunxi stopped, looked up, and murmured: "Zhenliuju..."
This handwriting looks strangely familiar.
It doesn't look like it was created by a famous artist, but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.
Ye Yunxi retracted his gaze, exchanged a glance with Ning Shuangchen, and suddenly said, "Was it written by that senior sword cultivator?"
Ning Shuangchen nodded and said, "The writing here is the same as on the cave wall."
This is also the reason why he speculated that the two senior sword masters had lived here.
Since they have been here, they must have practiced spiritual cultivation as described in the secret book.
Ning Shuangchen looked towards the courtyard and said, "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Ye Yunxi nodded.
The two of them pushed open the gate together and stepped into the courtyard. They looked around as they walked towards the main house.
The last time someone came here was four hundred years ago. Four hundred years have passed, and this thatched hut still looks unchanged.
Ning Shuangchen deduced from this: "This place must be an illusion."
Only the scenery in the illusion will not change with the passage of time.
Ye Yunxi had guessed it, of course. Otherwise, how could he explain why they suddenly came to this place from the dim bedroom after their spiritual meditation?
The two senior sword masters had naturally left long ago.
After looking around the courtyard, Ye Yunxi walked in front and opened the door of the main house.
There is a living room, a kitchen, and an inner room inside. The living room is located in the middle, and the kitchen and inner room are on the east and west sides respectively.
The furnishings in the house are very simple. There is only a table and chairs in the living room, and a bed and a desk in the inner room on the east side.
The thatched cottage looks simple, but it exudes warmth everywhere.
For example, there are a few branches of peach blossoms in the vase on the desk, the vegetable field that can be seen from the window, and there are inscriptions with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes on the gate of the courtyard.
Sunlight pours in from the window, a gentle breeze blows through the peach blossoms in full bloom, light and shadows flicker inside the house, and the windows are bright and clean.
It's just some inconspicuous details, but they can make people clearly feel that someone once really treated this place as home.
Who are those two senior sword masters?
Ye Yunxi came from the living room to the inner room, looked around the room, and found that there seemed to be something written on the desk in front of the window, so he walked over.
Besides the vase with peach blossoms on it, there were also the common writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in a study, and a brush dipped in ink was placed on the pen holder.
These look like they belonged to one of the elders.
Maybe I left in a hurry and didn't have time to get rid of the illusion.
Ning Shuangchen walked in behind him and saw him pick up the paper on the desk. She asked, "What's written on it?"
Ye Yunxi didn't understand, frowned and said: "It seems to be a poem..."
He hated reading this kind of flowery and incomprehensible poetry the most, so when Ning Shuangchen approached, he handed the paper to him.
Ning Shuangchen took the paper and looked at it, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes. It was indeed as Ye Yunxi said, someone had written a poem on the paper.
It's just what's written in this poem...
Ning Shuangchen held the paper and read: "The roosting birds leave the forest and never return, the drifting clouds have no intention of pillowing the cold pines. You are like the heartless moon on a lonely mountain, leaving my heart alone with the clouds and mist."
After listening to him finish reading, Ye Yunxi suddenly had an idea and said, "The word Yunlan is written in this poem, it must have been written by our predecessors of Yunlan Sect."
Ning Shuangchen just shook his head.
Ye Yunxi was unconvinced and asked, "Then what do you think the words written on it mean?"
Ning Shuangchen stared at the poem on the paper, was silent for a while, and slowly uttered a few words: "The flowing water is ruthless, but the falling flowers are affectionate."
Ye Yunxi didn't understand what he meant. She frowned and muttered, "What flowing water, what falling flowers, so weird."
Ning Shuangchen then changed her explanation to another straightforward one: "This is a love poem."
Ye Yunxi was stunned: "Ah?"
Did he hear it right?
Is this... a love poem?
The Yunlan Sect and Shuanghua Sect... can still have feelings???
Seeing Ye Yunxi's surprised face, Ning Shuangchen lowered her eyes and said thoughtfully: "It's just one person's infatuation."
Ye Yunxi finally understood what was said, and suddenly realized: "You mean, the senior from your Shuanghua Sect likes the senior from our Yunlan Sect? Is that right?"
Ning Shuangchen nodded.
Thinking about how the people from the Shuanghua Sect were infatuated with the people from the Yunlan Sect and they had no way to respond, Ye Yunxi felt like he had won the game and inexplicably felt a little proud.
At this moment, Ning Shuangchen suddenly said, "I roughly know who those two seniors are."
Huh? You found out so soon?
Ye Yunxi immediately asked, "Who?"
Ning Shuangchen was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Qiliu Sword Master and Zhenhan Sword Master."
Ye Yunxi was stunned when he heard this.
That senior from the Yunlan Sect is Qiliu Sword Master! ?
How is it possible...
Thinking this in his heart, Ye Yunxi said directly the next moment, "This is impossible."
"If you don't believe me, you can read it again." Ning Shuangchen put the paper back on the desk and added, "This is also a hidden-head poem."
Although Ye Yunxi didn't like reading or reciting poetry, he knew what an acrostic poem meant. He read it again as Ning Shuangchen had said, and when he saw the words "roosting birds" and "flowing water", his gaze paused unconsciously.
The beginning of the first two lines of the poem together form "栖流".
Besides, the "枕松寒" in the second sentence means "枕寒".
'Gushan' refers to the Gushan Peak of their Yunlan Sect, where the cave of Qiliu Sword Master was once located.
So, 'leaving my heart to Yunlan alone' refers to the feelings of Zhenhan Sword Master towards Qiliu Sword Master...
Ye Yunxi still found it unbelievable.
He had heard about the legend about Qiliu Sword Master from his senior brothers and sisters before. They said that their great-uncle was a very handsome and elegant man, a rare sword-cultivating genius in the world of immortal cultivation.
However, after coming out of the secret realm one time, their great-grandmaster somehow came into conflict with the Frost Flower Sect's Pillow Cold Sword Master, and from then on, the two would fight endlessly whenever they met.
Later they lost track in a fight and were never seen again.
Everyone thought that the two might have died.
You must know that Qiliu Jianzun was the most beloved junior brother of their master, and Zhenhan Jianzun was the most respected senior brother of the then leader of the Shuanghua Sect.
It was probably from that time that the Yunlan Sect and the Shuanghua Sect became mortal enemies and no longer had any contact with each other until today.
Qiliu Sword Master and Zhenhan Sword Master disappeared together four hundred years ago.
The last time the Qingxu Secret Realm was opened was four hundred years ago...
Those two seniors were Qiliu Sword Master and Zhenhan Sword Master, which meant that they had practiced spiritual cultivation in the forbidden area at the bottom of the cliff???
In this way, everything that happened afterwards made sense.
It just sounds a bit absurd.
It took Ye Yunxi a while to come back to his senses from his daze.
Even Qiliu Sword Master and Zhenhan Sword Master could only leave through spiritual practice...
Then he and Ning Shuangchen...
Thinking of this, Ye Yunxi subconsciously looked at the other figure in the room, and Ning Shuangchen happened to look over at this time.
Their eyes met and their gazes locked.
As if she had guessed what he was thinking, Ning Shuangchen's eyes fell on him and she said seriously, "Like those two seniors, if we want to leave, we can only practice spiritual cultivation."
Ye Yunxi didn't know why his face suddenly felt hot, he looked away and stammered, "I, I know..."
Haven't they already tried that?
Only spiritual practice can restore one's cultivation.
Ning Shuangchen still stared at him intently, and then asked: "Then shall we continue spiritual practice?"
The other party's tone was so serious that Ye Yunxi didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Why wasn't Ning Shuangchen ashamed at all when she said these two words?
Isn’t it just spiritual practice? They have already done it once, so there doesn’t seem to be any difference whether it’s the second or third time.
Anyway, there are only two of them in this place, and no third person will know about this.
If only I could get out of here...
"Well, it's not impossible... But," Ye Yunxi said, then changed the subject, raised her eyes, met his gaze and said, "I want to be on top this time."
