"It's me."
As soon as Fu Changling finished speaking, a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked out from the corridor.
He wore the Fu family's black robe with golden chrysanthemum patterns, a black jade pendant on his waist, and a folding fan made of gold and iron in his hand. His almond-shaped eyes were quite arrogant as he looked at Fu Changling and said, "Open your dog eyes and see who I am."
Fu Changling looked at the person who came out, speechless for a moment. He stood there, holding the fan tightly, not knowing what to say.
Shangguan Mingyan leaned over and whispered, "Brother Chen, do you know this person?"
Of course he knew him. This young master had the words "Fu family direct descendant" written all over his body. How could Fu Changling not recognize that this was his half-brother, Yue Sihua's biological son, Fu Changyan.
Before Fu Changyan came out, Fu Changling still had great confidence in his family's traditions. At least, things like molesting women shouldn't happen in the Fu family. After all, forcing someone to express feelings was so unbecoming and unrefined. Furthermore, Fu Changyan had always been obedient in the Fu family. Even if there was indeed a scoundrel who could ruin the family's traditions, it wouldn't be Fu Changyan.
After a brief moment, he immediately became a little annoyed and unconsciously glanced at Qin Yan beside him. Qin Yan was looking at him dimly. Fu Changling's face flushed with anxiety and he immediately said, "Brother, leave it to me."
As he spoke, Fu Changling rushed forward with great momentum. Fu Changyan snorted coldly, raised his hand and put the golden fan to his lips, and said in a childish voice, "Heaven and earth enter the law?"
Before he could finish his words, Fu Changling slapped him directly on the head. Before Fu Changyan could react, he slapped Fu Changyan's head again and again, cursing, "The law of heaven and earth, the law of hell! Your father taught you this, your family taught you this, and you are forcibly seizing a woman in broad daylight. I think you are courting death!"
Fu Changling hit Fu Changyan very dynamically. Fu Changyan wanted to fight back, but the pressure from the Spiritual Transformation Stage made him panic. He retreated repeatedly and said anxiously, "I won't dare to do it again, Senior. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
The attendant wanted to pull him away, but after hearing the elder Fu Changling's taste and feeling the pressure from Fu Changling, he dared not step forward. He stood in front of the corridor, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Just when he was feeling awkward, he heard a female voice coldly say, "Senior, stop!"
Fu Changling finally stopped and turned around after hearing this loud shout. He saw a woman in blue standing quietly in front of the inn. She looked to be in her early thirties, with her hair in a bun, elegant clothes and a gold hairpin. She was followed by a group of followers, and she looked very imposing.
As soon as he saw someone, Fu Changyan immediately stuck his head out and called out softly, "Mom!"
"Shut up!" Fu Changling slapped him again. Fu Changyan quickly squatted down with his head in his hands and stopped talking. Fu Changling turned around, looked at the woman at the door, bowed, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Fu."
Yue Sihua's expression remained unchanged when she heard the name. She turned her head and glanced at Qin Yan. After a pause, she frowned and asked, "Are you from Hongmeng Heavenly Palace?"
Qin Yan raised his hand in greeting and respectfully called out, "Mrs. Fu."
"Qin Yan," Yue Sihua looked him up and down, his expression a little unstable, as if he was shocked, but he deliberately suppressed it, and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, and you've made another breakthrough."
"Thank you, Madam, for your concern. It's just luck." Qin Yan's expression was calm, and his response was neither humble nor arrogant. It was hard to find any fault with him. Yue Sihua saw that he was unwilling to say more, turned his head, looked at Fu Changling and said, "Who is this young man from Hongmeng Tiangong? I have never seen him before."
"Just a small disciple of Hongmeng Tiangong."
Fu Changling tiptoed down from the height, then walked behind Qin Yan, saluted Yue Sihua playfully and said, "I am Shen Xiufan, a disciple of Jiang Daojun, and I am honored to meet you, Madam."
"So he's a disciple of Palace Master Jiang," Yue Sihua said with a look of understanding in his eyes. "No wonder he's so advanced in cultivation despite being so young. Palace Master Jiang is indeed a good master."
"That's right," Fu Changling had already quietly hidden the golden fan in his sleeve and said with a smile, "It's just that my master is a good master, but some people may not be good mothers."
"What do you mean?" Yue Sihua's face suddenly turned cold. Fu Changling raised his chin upwards and said, "He's not even sixteen years old yet, a young man from the Immortal Family, and yet he's come to the common people to learn how to rob women. Madam Fu, isn't this considered poor parenting?"
Hearing this, Yue Sihua's face became even uglier, and he said coldly, "It's your turn as a junior to interfere in the affairs of my Fu family. Is this the rule of your Hongmeng Heavenly Palace?"
"Of course, it's not our turn to intervene in the affairs of the Fu family," Fu Changling said with a smile, "but it's our turn to intervene in the injustices of the world. Madam Fu, what do you think?"
"you!"
Yue Sihua raised his finger and pointed at Fu Changling, the spirit snake in his sleeve about to emerge, when Qin Yan finally spoke, saying calmly, "Okay."
As he spoke, Qin Yan took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Junior brother, I have been naughty. I hope Madam will forgive me."
Yue Sihua didn't want to clash with two Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivators in this desolate wilderness. Even though she was furious, she still followed Qin Yan's offer and said, "For your sake, I'll forgive him for now."
"Xiu Fan," Qin Yan said calmly, "Apologize to Madam Fu."
Fu Changling knew that Qin Yan was considering the relationship between Hongmeng Tiangong and the Yue family, and that he couldn't make things too awkward. Fu Changling, who had always been a person who didn't care about face, immediately stepped forward, bowed with a playful smile, and said, "Madam Fu, I'm sorry."
It would have been fine if he hadn't apologized, but after he apologized, Yue Sinan vomited blood. But she didn't want to say more, so she led the group straight in and shouted, "Let's go!"
Yue Sihua walked all the way to the backyard. Her room should be inside. Fu Changyan hurriedly followed her and said anxiously, "Mom, wait for me, Mom!"
Yue Sihua was walking so fast that Fu Changyan had to jog to catch up. As soon as he caught up, Yue Sihua slapped him in the face and yelled at him, "Useless thing, get out of here!"
The Fu family left noisily, and the girl who had just played the pipa finally came up. She bowed to the three people, then looked at Qin Yan and whispered, "Thank you, Immortal Master."
That glance made him want to speak, but he hesitated. Fu Changling subconsciously took a step forward, standing between the two of them, and said with a smile, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Master, you acted just in time. I am not seriously injured."
The girl glanced at Qin Yan again, lowered her head and whispered, "Master, you saved me from danger. I don't know your name, so I can set up an altar at home to worship you and offer sacrifices every day."
"No……"
"No need." Before Fu Changling could speak, Qin Yan spoke first and said calmly, "There is a patient at home. Go back and take good care of him."
After saying that, Qin Yan turned and left. Fu Changling and Shangguan Mingyan quickly followed him. The girl was stunned. After a moment, she greeted the three people and said loudly, "My benefactor, my surname is Guan. If you need me, you can find me in the east of the city."
Qin Yan squatted down, looked back at the girl, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
This nod confused Fu Changling. As the three of them walked back to their room, Fu Changling took a long time to react. He hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you mean? Are you still going back to look for that little girl Guan?"
"uncertain."
Qin Yan spoke calmly, and Fu Changling felt even more anxious. He suddenly became a little flustered.
Subconsciously, I thought that Qin Yan might also have some thoughts about family. Senior Sister is not okay, maybe there are others?
It was an accident that she liked him in the previous life. Who knows whether Qin Yan likes a man or a woman? After all, it seems that people like Qin Yan seem to appreciate those who can bring him a warm family.
Fu Changling felt a little flustered when he thought about it, but when his eyes met Qin Yan's calm eyes, he immediately calmed down.
What does this have to do with him?
After all, Qin Yan in this life has only this life to live.
He felt cold and uncomfortable in his heart, and then he fell silent. Qin Yan seemed not to notice his emotions, and only said, "This girl looks familiar to me, I seem to have seen her before."
"Have you seen it?"
Fu Changling perked up immediately after hearing this, and then he remembered, "Did she just say her last name was Guan?"
"Yes." Shangguan Mingyan replied, quite excitedly, "Could she be related to Guan Yingying?"
"unknown."
Qin Yan took them upstairs and whispered, "However, the most urgent matter is..." He glanced at the two of them and said nothing more, but they both understood. Fu Changling nodded and said, "Don't worry."
According to Fu Changling's memory, Yue Sinan killed Yue Sihua here in his previous life. If they wanted to find Yue Sinan, they would naturally stay by Yue Sihua's side and wait for him.
The three of them entered the room, and Fu Changling immediately used his magic to scan the entire inn, then confirmed Yue Sihua's location. Fu Changling set up a small formation outside Yue Sihua's room. This formation had no other effect, only for defense. As long as someone other than the one Fu Changling had identified approached the formation, Fu Changling would be immediately aware.
The simpler the formation, the harder it is to detect. This type of formation, which only serves a defensive purpose, is even harder to detect. After Fu Changling set up the formation, the three of them didn't separate. Instead, they each found a place in the large room to meditate and sleep.
But no one could sleep. Everyone was wondering when Yue Sinan would come. With such worries, sleeping became extremely difficult. After the three of them tried to fall asleep but failed, Fu Changling simply sat up, took a deep breath and said, "I can't sleep, why don't we chat?"
"What are you talking about?"
Shangguan Mingyan, who had been bored for a long time, immediately turned sideways and looked at Fu Changling eagerly. "Let's chat about something unimportant for a while. I'm not that nervous."
"Why are you so nervous?" Fu Changling was a little surprised. Shangguan Mingyan forced a smile and said, "I'm scared when I think that Madam Yue might come tonight."
"Not to mention that Madam Yue might not come today, even if she did, what are you afraid of?"
"Why not?" Shangguan Mingyan sighed. "When I was little, I was disobedient, and the old people always said that Madam Yue would come and eat me." Shangguan Mingyan said with some surprise, "By the way, does Madam Yue eat people?"
"You're talking nonsense," Fu Changling glared at him. "Mrs. Yue is just killing people and bleeding them, how can she really eat them?"
As he spoke, Fu Changling looked at Qin Yan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and propped up his chin, as if casually saying, "Speaking of which, Senior Brother, you gave that girl so much money today, are you attracted to her?"
"Someone in her family is seriously ill, and she looks familiar." Qin Yan closed his eyes and said calmly, "Since we are destined to meet, I will just help you."
"How do you know someone in her family is seriously ill?"
Fu Changling was quite puzzled. Qin Yan continued, "When she came in, she smelled of medicine."
"You noticed this too," Fu Changling frowned, "Why didn't I notice it?"
Qin Yan ignored his boring words. Shangguan Mingyan listened quietly. Fu Changling began to wink at him. After he and Fu Changling exchanged glances for a moment, he immediately realized what was going on and said hurriedly, "Oh, Senior Brother, have you ever thought about the future?"
"In the future..." Qin Yan opened his eyes and looked at Shangguan Mingyan who asked the question. Shangguan Mingyan nodded and said, "That's the future. Brother, have you ever thought about having a Taoist companion?"
Qin Yan was silent for a while. Fu Changling saw that he seemed to be in trouble and quickly asked, "Brother, don't you want a few children and a family?"
"I have thought about it before," Qin Yan said slowly.
Qin Yan looked out the window. The moonlight was bright tonight. He said calmly, "I want to have a family and a child. I want to teach him swordplay and how to read. He will call me dad."
"What about now?" Shangguan Mingyan couldn't help but speak after hearing Qin Yan's tone. Qin Yan looked out the window. After a moment, he slowly moved his gaze back and lowered his head to the sword.
He gently wiped the sword and said calmly, "I don't want to think about it anymore."
"Why not?" Fu Changling lowered his voice, feeling that what he said seemed to be a kind of disturbance. Qin Yan slowed down and said slowly, "I can't accompany him well. I don't want him to come to such a hard world."
Hearing this, Fu Changling felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He seemed to vaguely understand what Qin Yan meant. When a person is full of hope, he always wants to share such hope with his loved ones, and hopes to bring his blood into this world and feel the beauty of this world.
But if he cannot feel the goodness and beauty of this world, he will not want the child to come into this world and suffer.
He wanted to ask Qin Yan what made him change his mind, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear that asking would hurt others.
Shangguan Mingyan also vaguely felt that the atmosphere seemed to have changed. He coughed lightly and then said, "I want to have a child too. I want several."
"Several," Fu Changling laughed. "You're quite imaginative. Who will you have children with?"
"I haven't thought about it yet," Shangguan Mingyan seemed a little embarrassed and said hurriedly, "Brother Chen, stop teasing me. What about you?"
"I..." Fu Changling supported his chin and looked at Qin Yan unconsciously. Qin Yan had closed his eyes and meditated again. He could look at him unscrupulously, so he whispered, "I'm very busy taking care of one person. It doesn't matter."
Fu Changling was afraid that Shangguan Mingyan would ask more questions, so he hurriedly said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Is your marriage with Senior Sister a success or not? I'm not a person who can be perfunctory. Don't lie to me. Just tell me..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Changling suddenly fell silent, Qin Yan opened his eyes, and Shangguan Mingyan covered his mouth. The room suddenly became quiet, and the sound of a needle falling to the ground seemed audible.
The wind started blowing outside the house at some point. The branches in the courtyard swayed gently in the wind, the shadows of the trees were dim, the leaves were rustling, and dark clouds silently covered the moon, and the world returned to darkness.
Black mist surged in from all directions. Fu Changling glanced outside and whispered, "Here it comes."
The black mist was like a wave of rapidly climbing insects, quickly spreading to the door of Yue Sinan's room. Qin Yan put his hand on the sword, ready to draw his sword at any time. However, at that moment, a beam of light suddenly exploded from Yue Sinan's room, and then millions of small puppets broke out of the window of the room!
Qin Yan and Fu Changling looked at each other. Shangguan Mingyan was shocked and said, "How did they find out so quickly?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Fu Changyan chuckled in the courtyard. Fu Changling looked out and saw Fu Changyan leading people to surround the courtyard. Holding a golden fan, a young man with a still-changing voice shouted, "Heaven and earth are governed by the law. Nothing can escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light chased from all directions. Fu Changyan raised his head proudly, and when he saw Fu Changling looking at him from the window, his face suddenly fell. He turned around and said to the person next to him, "Chase!"
Before the people around her could chase after them, thousands of puppets had already chased after them. Yue Sihua stood up, pushed open the door, looked down at the formation under her feet, and then frowned.
Fu Changling watched for a while, then turned to look at Qin Yan in the room, and said helplessly, "It's too early to act, he ran away."
Qin Yan nodded, then said, "Go to sleep."
"You're not going to chase me?" Shangguan Mingyan was a little worried. Fu Changling waved his hand and said, "I can't catch up."
"Besides," Fu Changling leaned on the small couch and glanced at Shangguan Mingyan with a smile, "Don't worry, she will come back."
"Will you come back?"
Shangguan Mingyan exclaimed in surprise, Fu Changling closed his eyes and smiled, while in Yue Ming's room, where Yue Sihua served, a bloody word slowly seeped out on the wall.
"South."
The author has something to say:
Fu Changling didn't expect that the first time he took his wife to the movies, he would see such a tragic love story.
