Chapter 116 [Spirit Pearl] Aye is leaving Hidden Valley
Seeing Zhu Jianye so relaxed, Ye Musi felt inexplicably more nervous, as if Zhu Jianye was about to say something really big, and that he would die after saying it. But he still waited quietly, afraid that something really big was happening.
"I'm leaving now."
"You want to leave?" Ye Musi asked, "Where are you going?"
"Anywhere is fine." Zhu Jianye put down his teacup and took out the Pre-Chen Mirror from a box, and the Juque Sword from another box. The Juque Sword was the world's number one sword, the only relic his father left him, while the Pre-Chen Mirror was a divine artifact left by the goddess, kept by the Elder Hall Master. "Give these things to Lu Lishen and write on the Pre-Chen Mirror. He'll understand after listening."
Ye Musi shook his head. He didn’t want it. He pursed his lips. He didn’t want Zhu Jianye to leave. The Three Realms were so dangerous. What if he encountered danger?
"Give it to him yourself."
"I'm afraid I'll get into a fight with him. Will you feel bad if I hit him? Or will you feel bad for me?"
Ye Musi felt distressed, as the palms and backs of his hands were all made of flesh.
Zhu Jianye handed over the two things again. Ye Musi grabbed his hand when he was not paying attention and placed his two fingers on his radial artery.
"You..." Ye Musi raised his eyes, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes, "Where's your golden elixir? Where did it go?"
Zhu Jianye withdrew his hand and said calmly, "It's lost."
"Lost? Where did you lose it?" Ye Musi suddenly thought of something. He closed his eyes and felt the spiritual pearl circulating in his body. "Did you lose it in the West Sea?"
Zhu Jianye didn't say anything.
"You don't have the golden elixir, where are you going?" Ye Musi didn't know how to feel at this moment. He actually had to be protected by a junior brother who was two years younger than him.
"Brother, I'm so tired. I want to go out for a walk. Nothing's wrong." Zhu Jianye was lying. He was straightforward, and every lie he told was full of loopholes. But this time, he didn't reveal any clues. He was going to the Demon Realm to verify something, something that was extremely important to Ye Musi and even the Hidden Valley.
"If you're tired, just rest well in the valley. I'll handle all matters concerning the Elder Hall, okay?"
Zhu Jianye swallowed a mouthful of blood, resisting the discomfort and taking Ye Musi's hand. He didn't have much time left. The person he was most worried about was Ye Musi. Ye Musi was not only the spiritual pearl that Mu Chi had asked him to protect, but also his only living relative. Although there were many unpleasant things half a year ago, his feelings for Ye Musi had never changed.
He did not answer Ye Musi's question, but said: "You are Lingzhu. The time is not right. You must not tell the Elder Hall."
The problem that Mu Chi was worried about ten years ago is also what Zhu Jianye is worried about now. He is worried that the Elder Hall will impose all the pressure on Ye Musi. What's more, when he came out of seclusion, he noticed that there were unusual movements in Shenghe Mountain. It seems that in the near future, the Three Realms will face a catastrophe.
The alien aura is stronger than the spirit pearl. He is afraid that the three realms will sacrifice the spirit pearl that has not yet matured in order to protect their own safety. If so, they will not only fail to suppress the alien species but also break the spirit pearl. Then they will no longer be able to kill Hua Jin.
"Do you understand?"
Zhu Jianye sounded like he was speaking in his will, which made Ye Mushi even more uneasy.
"I know, but I won't tell you. Don't leave. Yinyou Valley is your home, don't leave." Ye Musi felt inexplicably that if he let Zhu Jianye leave, they would never see each other again. "Aye, are you still angry? We just had a quarrel, not a breakup."
Zhu Jianye moved closer to Ye Musi and hugged him.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. You are my senior brother, my brother. I won't be angry with you." He whispered in Ye Musi's ear with a barely perceptible tremor.
"Then you still want to leave?"
"Go out and have fun. Come back when you're done."
Ye Musi bit his lip, his voice already tinged with tears, and he said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Zhu Jianye heard the sob in Ye Musi's voice and gently stroked his back, comforting him and himself. "On my birthday, you said you would cook for me yourself. I'm still looking forward to eating your food. Of course I have to come back. Brother, I will come back."
Zhu Jianye let go of Ye Musi and wiped away his tears with his sleeve. Among all his senior brothers, only Ye Musi loved to cry the most. He couldn't understand why such a small thing was worth crying about. He hated people who cried for the smallest things the most.
Even though Ye Musi cried like this, Zhu Jianye didn't hate him, because Zhu Jianye couldn't cry. He was a child of destiny and was once hailed as the hope of the Hidden Valley. Zhu Yingyan said that he couldn't cry, that the strong couldn't shed tears, and that tears were a symbol of weakness.
So since he can remember, the number of times he has cried can be counted on one hand. He always holds back his tears and he cannot cry.
This time is the same, he will not forget Zhu Yingyan's teachings. He envies Ye Musi for being able to live as himself without any pressure.
Zhu Jianye's gaze lingered on Ye Musi's face for a moment, "Crybaby, stop crying."
Although his voice was teasing, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Okay, I won't cry. How long will you be back?"
"As short as one month, as long as..." Zhu Jianye didn't know, he only had one month, "I don't know either. If you're happy, come back. If you're not happy, stay outside for a few more days. If you don't agree to let me go, I'll sneak out and come back when you're no longer angry."
Ye Musi felt mixed emotions as he listened to Zhu Jianye's words.
"Then you must be careful. Whether you have fun or not, you must come back."
"Okay." Zhu Jianye nodded and said softly, then hugged Ye Musi again. This time, the red envelope was even tighter, as if he wanted to put all his reluctance and worries into this hug. "I will, brother."
Ye Musi didn't know how he returned to Xishan. Zhu Jianye was gone, really gone like that. Loneliness was like the shadow of duckweed, reflected in his mind and could not be shaken off.
Seeing Ye Musi coming back, Lu Lishen immediately walked closer and discovered that Ye Musi's eyes were red. He caressed Ye Musi's face and asked, "Master, are you crying?"
"Yes." Ye Musi handed the two boxes in his hands to Lu Lishen, "Your uncle gave them to you."
Lu Li was deeply puzzled. He brought Ye Musi into the house and coaxed him for a long time. Only then did he know that Zhu Jianye had left Yinyou Valley. Before leaving, he gave him the two most important things in Yinyou Valley.
Of course he knew what Zhu Jianye meant. Zhu Jianye wanted him to protect Ye Musi. Even if Zhu Jianye didn't say it, he would of course protect his master. This was simply a waste of time.
"He left you a message, Qianchenjing..."
"I don't want to hear him talk, Master. It's better if he leaves. I'm the only one protecting you." After putting away the Juque Sword and the Qianchen Mirror, he kissed Ye Musi for a long time. "Master, who is Ji Changan? Why haven't I heard of this name before? It seems that he and Master are very close. Is he your old lover?"
Lu Lishen said this on purpose because he was jealous. In two lifetimes, he didn't even know who Ji Changan was.
"You look so sore, didn't you take a shower?" Ye Musi chuckled.
"I washed it, using Master's favorite soap." Lu Lishen unbuttoned his collar, took Ye Musi's hand, and put it on top. "If you don't believe me, Master, just listen."
"Hmm, it smells good, so where does the sour taste come from?" Ye Musi asked knowingly.
"Where did Ji Changan get it from?"
Ye Musi nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Ah Li is jealous, isn't he?"
When Lu Lishen heard Ye Musi's question, the jealousy on his face became even stronger. He snorted softly, like a child throwing a tantrum, "Of course I'm jealous. I feel uncomfortable when I think that Master has an acquaintance that I don't know for no reason."
Ye Musi was amused by Lu Lishen's expression. He gently pinched Lu Lishen's cheek and said, "You, really. The reason you don't know is because no one in the valley dares to mention it. Don't be jealous, you are the most important person in my heart."
Lu Lishen felt a little better after hearing this, but he was still not satisfied and continued to act coquettishly, "Then Master, you must prove to me that I only have you in my heart, and Master can only have me in his heart."
Ye Musi held Lu Lishen's face and kissed him three times.
"This is a pledge first. I still have things to do. I'll accompany you after I'm done."
He didn't give Lu Lishen a chance to react, he stood up and was about to leave.
"Disciple has taken incense and is waiting for Master!" Lu Lishen stood at the door and said loudly.
…
Elders' Hall.
Ye Musi walked into the hall and felt something was wrong as soon as he came in. He frowned slightly. A sword stabbed in front of him. At the critical moment, he dodged it. The sword stabbed into the pillar behind him with a "struggle" sound.
"Ye Musi, are you going to kill Yinyou Valley?" The person who spoke was He Ju. He was old and frail. He could not bear the anger and coughed lightly twice.
After Ye Musi went to Dongshan, some disciples came to report what happened in Linghong Mountain.
When He Ju heard Ye Musi so capriciously announce his affair with Lu Lishen in such an important occasion, he almost couldn't breathe.
Ye Musi sat on the throne and glanced around coldly. Noticing that the elders all looked unhappy, he guessed what had happened.
"Destroy the Valley? How do you expect me to die?" He knew this day would eventually come and had already made all the preparations. "Even if I had extraordinary abilities, Elder He would still execute me first and report me later, right? But I'm the Valley Master, you can't."
This sentence touched He Ju's spine. It was a hint at him. It was a hint that he knew about Mu Chi and Hua Jin's affair and almost killed Mu Chi and appointed another valley master.
"You, how dare you! I am a third-generation elder. Even the old Valley Master has to give me some respect. How dare you speak to me like that?"
Ye Musi swore that he had absolutely no intention of disrespecting his elders.
"I dare not. I just don't want to follow in my master's footsteps."
"If you don't want to follow in his footsteps, you should stay away from Lu Li. Now that something unusual is happening in Shenghe Mountain, the Spirit Pearl must not make any mistakes."
Ye Musi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "You want him to die?"
"In the Three Realms, only the Spirit Pearl can fight against alien species. This is a well-known fact. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it will not—"
Before He Ju could finish her words, she was interrupted by the sound of Ye Musi slamming the table.
"Stop talking!"
For the first time, the elders felt Ye Musi's pressure, and there was no sound in the hall.
Silence soon followed. Hua Lingzhi, who was sitting in the corner, asked, "Who is Ji Changan, and what's going on with him?"
Someone explained it to Hua Lingzhi, and she finally understood.
Ye Musi rubbed his brows and replied, "He became the Ninth King in the Underworld. I don't know if he is a friend or foe when he returns this time."
As for Lin Sen, it is still unknown whether he has formed an alliance with Ji Changan or really escaped by luck.
