Chapter 66 [Jiaozhu] and his disciples team up to bully Ajiang
Chen Lian really didn't understand. Was there only love in A Jiang's mind? Was there nothing else, such as dominating the three realms?
However, this sentence touched Shen Lian a little. Since he could remember, everyone he met wanted to use him to vent their anger. Ah Jiang was a little different. If he didn't have those memories, perhaps he would have really agreed to let Ah Jiang become the queen of the mermaids. But there is no if.
"Even if I let you become my furnace?"
This sentence held A Jiang's attention for three seconds, and then he said firmly, "I am willing. I am willing to die for you."
Chen Lian pondered for a while. Ah Jiang was willing to be his cauldron. Did that mean he agreed to let him be on top?
Chen Lian said nothing, but looked at A Jiang quietly, wondering whether what the local said was credible.
Seeing that he was silent, Ajaan thought he had said something wrong and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"
"When are you leaving?"
"Now." A Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not what he expected. He took Shen Lian's hand and returned to the west coast along the same route. After returning to the Cang Qiong Sect, it took a full month. During this time, Shen Lian's cultivation had recovered by more than half.
This journey should have been completed in two or three days, but it was dragged on for a month by Chen Lian. They stayed with him day and night. Chen Lian wanted to recover his cultivation quickly, so A Jiang helped him.
What annoyed Shen Lian was that Ah Jiang had not promised to let him be on top, but to let him be on top. Every time he wanted to object, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't open his mouth.
When he arrived at Cangxiong Sect, Chen Lian cast a spell to cover up the marks on his neck.
The moment he stepped into the Jingling Water Pavilion, Shen Lian's first disciple, Shen Lian, hurried towards him.
"Master, Master!" Yu Jinlan ran towards him, skipping and jumping. "You're finally back. You wrote that you wanted to go on a trip for a few days, but this trip is going to last a month?"
When Yu Jinlan saw the person behind Shen Lian, she couldn't help but frown. She didn't understand why A Jiang was still here. Shouldn't Shen Lian have killed him in a few days? Why was A Jiang still alive?
"Master, are you lying to us? Master, are you trying to eliminate evil and promote good? If not, I really can't believe it."
Chen Lian's lips formed a line. He had to thank Yu Jinlan for finding a good excuse. He had never said that he practiced Taoism to eliminate demons and defend the Way, nor had he ever said that he was a kind person. Even his actions did not fit the term "kind person". He really couldn't understand how Yu Jinlan could associate him with these words.
If he hadn't known that Yu Jinlan had killed the person who was originally going to become his disciple and had forced his way in, he would have been moved by Yu Jinlan's foolish heart.
However, Yu Jinlan took him as his master and had never done anything to harm him, so he would turn a blind eye. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he didn't need to worry about these things. If someone found out, the truth would come out one day.
But what he didn't know was that Yu Jinlan had the same experience as him. She had never been bullied or belittled, so she took great pains to become his disciple. However, since becoming his disciple, Shen Lian had not paid much attention to this disciple, so the disciples in the sect laughed at Yu Jinlan. Yu Jinlan was unwilling to accept this and tried hard to please Shen.
A Jiang took Shen Lian's hand, feeling somewhat disgusted by the girl in front of him.
"How dare you!" Yu Jinlan saw that Chen Lian treated a servant better than herself, holding hands with A Jiang, without even a look of disdain, while Chen Lian was disgusted with her own flattery and obedience. She felt that this was a sure thing.
Chen Lian was startled by Yu Jinlan's sudden shout, but he pretended to be calm. He was about to get angry and drive her away when he heard her say:
"How dare you, a slave, hold your master's hand?" Yu Jinlan pointed at the place where their hands touched.
It was no wonder that Shen Lian didn't react. Truly, they'd been so affectionate so often over the past month that he'd gotten used to it. But now, realizing that they were in the Cang Qiong Sect, being too nice to Ah Jiang might arouse suspicion, he shook Ah Jiang's hand off.
"Who allowed you to hold my hand?" Shen Lian frowned. Seeing A Jiang's confused face, he silently burned a stick of incense for his own butt.
Yu Jinlan felt relieved when he saw Shen Lian's reaction, and he didn't even hide the smile on his face.
Seeing Shen Lian's reaction and Yu Jinlan's expression, A Jiang mistakenly thought that Yu Jinlan was more important than him in Shen Lian's heart. He was jealous and resisted the urge to tie Shen Lian up, and slowly knelt down.
He said, "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again."
Chen Lian looked at A Jiang like this and thought that it should be okay, so he did not take the next step.
"Master, do you want a whip?"
Shen Lian glanced at Yu Jinlan, and saw that the other party took out a whip from somewhere and handed it to him.
“…” He looked at A Jiang, then at Yu Jinlan, and silently lit three incense sticks.
He took the whip, swung it up, and struck him with it. This lash was much lighter than usual, leaving his clothes untouched, and his flesh red, but not cut.
Then he threw the whip to Yu Jinlan.
"Alright, the fight is over. If you have nothing else to do, then leave."
"Master! It was just a light touch, how could——"
Before Yu Jinlan finished speaking, Chen Lian interrupted impatiently: "Have you mastered the sword technique?"
Yu Jinlan fell silent. She quietly withdrew and left the Jingling Water Pavilion. She turned around secretly and saw Shen Lian helping A Jiang up. A Jiang kissed Shen Lian on the lips. She was shocked by this scene. How did A Jiang suddenly become...
What is this?
Her master, Shen Lian, practiced the way of ruthlessness. Ah Jiang did this, but Shen Lian did not resist. What does this mean?
Yu Jinlan couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. She just watched for a while and then left, with a bold guess in her mind.
A Jiang carried Chen Lian into the house. It was not until night that Chen Lian walked out of the house, holding the door frame, and headed towards the bathroom.
Shen Lian's steps were a little unsteady, and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but more of a complex emotion.
What Yu Jinlan said today reminded him that he should not be too nice to A Jiang in front of outsiders. If he was discovered, it would be troublesome.
He had just talked to Ajahn about this, but Ajahn pretended not to understand. So he simply stopped talking. He didn't want to waste his breath repeating the same thing. Since Ajahn pretended not to understand, he wouldn't have to show mercy next time.
The bathroom was steaming hot. Chen Lian slowly took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub.
As soon as he entered the bathtub, a hand stretched out from the water and grabbed his ankle, pulling him into the water.
I don't know when A Jiang had been in this bathroom. I had just been lying on his bed, watching him leave.
"The water is so hot." Ah Jiang complained and scooped a bucket of water and poured it over Chen Lian's shoulders.
…………
In just a few days, Chen Lian recovered his cultivation, and he also planned to pay a visit to Yinyou Valley.
As luck would have it, Hidden Valley was holding a contest to test the disciples' cultivation achievements. This contest was also to select the Valley Master's first disciple, the Goddess's first disciple. Therefore, Hidden Valley invited the heads of various sects to observe. Of course, Chen Lian had to seize this opportunity. He had originally wanted to go with A Jiang, but Yu Jinlan insisted on squeezing in as well.
He had sufficient reasons to let Yu Jinlan leave, but Yu Jinlan had a pitiful face and was good at winning people's hearts, so the elders spoke up.
Shen Lian then agreed. Since Yu Jinlan was going, he would naturally make good use of her and not let her go in vain. He immediately had a plan in mind.
Three days had passed when she arrived at Yinyou Valley. Yu Jinlan was still not sure about the scene she saw that day, so she came this time to witness it further.
How much she wanted to push Chen Lian down, how much she wanted to tell the elder that Shen Lian was very likely to have broken through, but she was worried that she had seen it wrong because Chen Lian and A Jiang were standing in the wrong place that day.
But along the way, there was nothing wrong with the two's behavior. Chen Lian didn't speak, and A Jiang didn't speak either. Yu Jinlan stared at the two of them silently, not knowing that their souls had merged together behind her back.
The three of them went to Yinyou Valley and handed in their invitations, and then a disciple took them to Dongshan's residence. When they arrived, Shen Lian noticed that Yinyou Valley was on high alert, with not a single sign of trouble.
"Master Shen, the competition will be held the day after tomorrow. Please rest again first."
"knew."
Chen Lian looked at the yard. It was not big, but not small either. The outside faced east, and it was the most beautiful place to watch the sunrise.
That night he and A Jiang played a wild game until they saw the sunrise. They leaned against each other and felt the sunrise light shining on them.
"A Lian, this is so good. I want to forget everything and just be with you like this." He never forgot what he promised to the clan. When he was traveling in the Cang Qiong Sect, he asked about how Shen Lian became a disciple. Although the descriptions of those people were a little different from what Shen Lian said, they all stated that Shen Lian took the mermaid pearl to become a disciple.
He once suspected Shen Lian's master Xu Yingli, but if Xu Yingli could kill his brother, Shen Lian would not be in trouble.
He once sneaked into the secret room of the Cang Qiong Sect's library and found that his brother's mermaid pearl was preserved intact, with his portrait next to it. From this, it can be seen that Xu Yingli admired his brother.
Then he found the missing scale from his brother's tail in a small box. He had heard that his brother would choose the most beautiful scale from his body and give it to his sweetheart, so...
Xu Yingli is Nuonuo's biological mother.
But A Jiang couldn't understand this. If they were in love and had a child, then why did those disciples say that his brother was the person Xu Yingli hated most in his life?
He couldn't figure it out. Since it couldn't be Chen Lian or Xu Yingli, who could it be?
"Everything we've experienced cannot be changed or forgotten. What you said was just a daydream." Chen Lian leaned against A Jiang.
"Then let me daydream. It's good to have it in a dream."
Chen Lian was amused by A Jiang's words. What good is it to have it in a dream? It is better to hold it tightly in your hands.
There was a hint of doting in his smile, and he gently stroked Ajiang's head with a gentle look in his eyes.
