Chapter 41 Chapter 41 "I like you too"...
Ning Shuangchen is coming?
He even had a fight with his senior brother?
Ye Yunxi was stunned for only a moment, then quickly came to his senses and frowned, saying, "Take me there."
Why would Ning Shuangchen fight with his senior brother?
Is it because you were blocked from coming to see him?
Thinking of this, Ye Yunxi couldn't help but frown, his thoughts in a mess.
When he and his junior sister arrived at the Yunlan Sect's main hall, they saw two figures fighting on the sword-practicing platform outside the hall.
But they saw their senior brother Song Xuezhou holding a long sword with green light flowing on the sword, and his light green robe and dark red belt moving in the wind.
The person opposite him was wearing the snow-blue robe of the Frost Hua Sect. He had clear brows, a tall figure, and deep and thoughtful eyes. It was Ning Shuangchen, whom he had not seen for several days since they parted in Qingzhou.
The blue and purple sword lights crossed each other, but in a flash, the two men on the stage had already exchanged several moves, but there was no clear winner.
Not far from the sword training platform, the leader of the Yunlan Sect and his wife were standing in front of the main hall door, watching from afar.
Just as the sharp sword tip was about to pierce the snow-green figure, in a flash, another light green figure suddenly appeared and blocked in front of him without hesitation.
Looking at the face that suddenly appeared in front of him, Song Xuezhou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the sharp sword energy swept to both sides.
The person standing in front of Ning Shuangchen was none other than Ye Yunxi who had rushed over from Ximianju.
Under the sword practice platform, Senior Sister Mu Qinglan and Junior Sister saw this and shouted almost at the same time.
"Yunxi!"
"Senior Brother Yunxi!"
The leader of the Yunlan Sect on the other side got a sudden jump in his heart. He frowned and stared at the figure on the stage. His foot, which had already taken a step forward, stopped again when he saw the sword stopped.
Song Xuezhou retracted the sword in his hand in time, with the tip of the sword only half an inch away from the opponent's eyebrows.
All around was suddenly silent.
The fight stopped instantly.
Seeing the tip of the sword stop in front of his eyebrows, Ye Yunxi looked directly into his senior brother's eyes, his lips moved, and he frowned slightly and said, "He came to Yunlan Sect just to find me, senior brother, please don't make things difficult for him."
Song Xuezhou still pointed the sword at him, and asked calmly, "What if I make things difficult for you?"
Ye Yunxi frowned even more tightly, and after a moment of silence, as if she had made up her mind, she met his gaze and said firmly, "Then, Senior Brother, you can embarrass me first."
After hearing this, Song Xuezhou's eyes deepened a little, and the knuckles holding the sword handle tightened slightly. The next moment, he quickly put the sword back into the sheath.
When Ye Yunxi was looking puzzled, he saw his senior brother raised the corner of his lip and said to him slowly, "Don't worry, it's just a sparring match. It won't hurt him."
...discuss?
Ye Yunxi was stunned when he heard this.
They didn't just fight because...
But just for discussion?
Ye Yunxi was still a little dazed. He subconsciously turned his head to glance at Ning Shuangchen behind him. As soon as he turned his head, he met his eyes.
Guessing what he wanted to ask, Ning Shuangchen looked at him and nodded, "Yes, my senior brother and I were just sparring."
He doesn't look like he's lying.
Ye Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, he suddenly remembered something and his ears turned red.
Since it's just a competition...
Then why did he rush here just now...
Not only did he stand in front of Ning Shuangchen, but he also said such words in front of Senior Brother...
The more Ye Yunxi thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt, and his cheeks began to feel hot unconsciously.
Also... when did his senior brother become Ning Shuangchen's senior brother?
This guy is still so shameless!
Thinking of this, Ye Yunxi's ears turned red as she quietly glared at him, lowering her voice so that only the two of them could hear, and scolded him, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Ning Shuangchen stared at him intently, pursed her lips slightly, and said softly, "Isn't it too late?"
She paused for a moment, leaned closer to his ear, and whispered, "I didn't expect you to come so soon."
After hearing the latter sentence, Ye Yunxi's ears suddenly turned redder.
Song Xuezhou stood silently aside, watching the two people whispering in front of him. Seeing them getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Yunxi quickly turned around, still with a hint of embarrassment on his face. However, when facing his senior brother, he returned to his usual well-behaved and obedient self.
After he turned around, Song Xuezhou didn't know what to say. He paused, cleared his throat and said, "There are still things to deal with in the sword training pavilion. I'll go take care of it first."
Ye Yunxi's ears were still hot, he said dumbly, "Brother, you go ahead."
Song Xuezhou nodded, glanced at Ning Shuangchen beside him, then looked at him again. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked down the fencing platform with his sword in hand.
The voice of the younger junior sister was heard from the audience, "Senior Brother Xuezhou, wait for me! Senior Sister Qinglan and I want to go too!"
Several light green figures then headed towards the sword training pavilion.
Soon, they were the only two left on the fencing platform.
Ye Yunxi looked at the spot for a while, then turned his head to look at the entrance of the main hall. Unknowingly, the person standing there had disappeared.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what his uncle had said to him.
The uncle said that his mother was not angry, she was just testing him.
So, from the beginning, they never thought of stopping him.
They were just worried about him.
Ning Shuangchen noticed the emotion in his eyes, followed his line of sight, and said softly, "Your parents love you very much."
Ye Yunxi hummed softly, slowly retracted her gaze, and looked into his eyes. Her eyes lit up slightly and she said, "Come with me. I'll take you to a place."
Inside the main hall.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking through the window lattice at the two people who were leaving the sword practice platform.
Thinking back to the scene I just saw, I couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Junior brother is right." He stroked his beard and sighed softly, "Yun'er has grown up. He is no longer a child. He needs to make his own choices in his life."
The clan leader's wife stood beside him, looking out the window with him.
In the distance, clouds and mist rolled among the peaks. Two figures, one blue and one purple, walked with swords, like birds soaring in the sky, getting farther and farther away in their sight.
Ye Yunxi brought Ning Shuangchen to the back mountain of Fuyang Peak.
It was dusk, the sun was setting, and the sky was becoming dim.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking into the distance, floating islands of various sizes are floating in the mist with the afterglow, like golden lotus flowers floating on the water, quietly blooming in the slanting light.
On a floating island not far from them, there stood a tall building. Branches covered with peach blossoms poked out from the attic. The blooming branches rested on the roof, drooping along the ridge, and the pale pink petals fluttered in the wind.
"Did you see it?" Ye Yunxi looked at the floating island not far away and said, "That's Chaoyan Xilan."
Ning Shuangchen raised her eyes and saw the vermilion eaves hidden in the mist. On the door plaque, the four characters "Morning Smoke and Evening Mist" were faintly visible under the swaying branches.
The first time he heard of this place was in the illusion of the forbidden area at the bottom of the cliff. He took Ye Yunxi to the cliff behind the peach blossom forest.
At that time, Ye Yunxi also said that only inner disciples in Yunlan Sect could enter this place. If others wanted to enter, they could only be led by inner disciples.
He followed behind and stepped onto the floating island. Ye Yunxi walked in front and placed a jade plate engraved with his name on the door. The vermilion door soon lit up with a white light and then slowly opened to both sides.
The two of them walked into the building together. What caught their eyes were walls filled with books, bookshelves on all four sides, and a peach tree in the middle surrounded by railings. The thick trunk climbed all the way up to the roof, and light leaked through the gaps between the branches and leaves, making the light appear mottled and interlaced.
"This used to be the residence of my great-grandmaster." Ye Yunxi said as he walked, "Later, my great-grandmaster disappeared, and this place became a library for storing books."
The great-uncle master he mentioned was Qiliu Sword Master who had disappeared four hundred years ago.
Walk through the corridor and go up to the second floor, where there is a room similar to a tea room. The open window faces the sea of clouds in the distant mountains, and a setting sun lies on the mountain top shrouded in dusk mist.
The sun sets in the west, and the clouds are misty.
The evening light shines softly, and the floating islands above the sea of clouds and the flowers and trees on the floating islands are all covered with a layer of gold foil, which can be seen at a glance.
Ye Yunxi stood in front of the window, raised an eyebrow at the person next to him and said, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Ning Shuangchen nodded and hummed softly, but her eyes fell on him.
"I let you enjoy the view, why are you looking at me?" Ye Yunxi felt a little embarrassed when being looked at, and his earlobes were unconsciously stained with a hint of light pink. His eyes passed over Ning Shuangchen's shoulders, and he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, your injury..."
"It's all right now." Ning Shuangchen took over the conversation, glanced at his reddened ear tips, pulled his lower lip and said, "If you're worried, I can show you."
Then he added, "Anyway, there are only two of us here."
"Who wants to see you?" Ye Yunxi's ears were slightly hot when he heard this, but he still asked with some worry: "You came to see me, did your father stop you?"
"No." Knowing that he was worried about her, Ning Shuangchen shook her head: "He only made me face the wall for a few days."
When he first returned to the Shuanghua Sect, he thought his father would punish him, but his father said nothing.
Ning Shuangchen finished speaking, then turned her eyes and looked at Ye Yunxi's face and said, "Even if he blocks me, I will come to you."
The sunset glowed in their eyes, and the two of them stared at each other.
When Ye Yunxi looked down again, he saw a small box with exquisite workmanship in front of him.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his eyes and asked, "What is this?"
"It's for you." Ning Shuangchen coaxed him, "Open it and take a look?"
Ye Yunxi opened the box as he was told, and saw a scarlet headband with jade ornaments inside. The color was bright and vivid, and it matched the robe he was wearing very well.
Ning Shuangchen said slowly: "I wanted to give it to you before, but I just never found the right opportunity. Do you like it?"
No wonder Ning Shuangchen climbed through the window to look for him so late at night when they were in the Qingzhou Inn.
It turned out that I wanted to give him a gift.
Ye Yunxi gently stroked the hairband in the box, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips slightly, but said: "Not bad."
Ning Shuangchen saw the joy in his eyes and asked in a softer voice, "Shall I help you tie it?"
Ye Yunxi looked at him and nodded.
Ten slender fingers gently passed through her hair, their eyes met, the evening light shone on their faces, and as they approached, their lips slowly pressed together.
The back of Ye Yunxi's head was grasped by a large hand. He closed his eyes as if sinking into despair, his disordered breathing becoming increasingly rapid as his heartbeat quickened.
In a trance, he heard Ning Shuangchen whispering in his ear: "Yunxi, I like you."
He tilted his head, slightly closed his misty eyes, and took the initiative to kiss the other person's slightly cool lips. At the same time, he responded silently in his heart.
Me too……
I like you too...
A light breeze blew past, and the flower branches sticking out from the eaves swayed in the wind. The pale pink petals fluttered down and floated on the hems of the two people's entangled clothes.
