Chapter 23 Chapter 23 How can senior brother forget his loyalty for the sake of beauty!
Jiang Yan returned to the room and sat down on the couch by the window.
He took out a sound transmission talisman, held it between his fingers, and poured spiritual power into it. The sound transmission talisman moved automatically without wind, swaying gently from side to side.
for a long time.
Jiang Yan was just about to stop the transfer of spiritual energy when the talisman paper suddenly caught fire.
The man's deep voice reached Jiang Yan's ears.
"Ayan, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Am I disturbing you? If you have something to do, just go and do it first. You don't have to reply to me." Jiang Yan said.
"It's nothing important."
"Can……"
The sound transmission note can only be heard by the person who inputs the spiritual power. The sound of the surrounding environment is also limited to a certain distance, so there are certain limitations.
There was a faint sound of people talking from the other side of the talisman paper, but due to the limitations of the sound transmission note, Jiang Yan could not hear it clearly.
Jiang Yan hesitated and asked, "Why is it so noisy there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a sudden cry of pain from the other end.
Gu Jingyun quickly explained, "My junior brother just asked me for sword skills and I gave him some pointers. He is practicing now and the noise is a bit loud."
"Junior brother?"
"It's Ling Hanzhang who you met last time."
"Oh." Jiang Yan suddenly realized.
The man seemed to walk away, and the surroundings gradually became quiet, with no more noise.
"Don't pay attention to him." There was a slight smile in his voice. "Ayan, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
It seems like there is something going on, but it doesn't seem like there is anything going on.
It was just that I suddenly heard Gu Jingyun's story from someone else, and got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of his past experiences. My heart was touched, and I just wanted to hear his voice.
Jiang Yan wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. If he asked rashly, it would be like exposing someone's scars.
"Ayan?" Gu Jingyun asked in confusion, "Why aren't you talking?"
He thought of something and his tone suddenly changed: "Did someone from the Hehuan Sect bully you?"
Jiang Yan immediately denied it: "No. They are all very nice people and treat me like family."
Gu Jingyun: "Then why are you so depressed?"
Jiang Yan thought to himself, I didn’t say anything, I was just silent for a few seconds, can you notice that?
He hesitated for a moment.
Dealing with humans is hard.
It's even harder to lie to a good friend.
Forget it, if you can't speak, just give up.
Jiang Yan was always decisive, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "I asked Qibao to send you something."
"Qibao has reported it to me. I sent someone to get it, but it has not been delivered to Dongzhou yet."
Gu Jingyun seemed to have realized something and stopped asking. He deliberately joked, "What's inside? I asked Qibao, but he said he didn't know. It's so mysterious. Could it be a new medicine you developed?"
"It's a brocade bag, and inside it is——"
Jiang Yan was about to say something, but then he changed his mind and realized that gifts should be surprising.
If you know it in advance, there will be no surprise.
Jiang Yan changed his tone: "Keep it secret for now."
"Can't tell now?"
"When the time comes, you will know it naturally."
"That's fine." Gu Jingyun laughed and teased, "I'll be waiting. Just don't use me to test the medicine."
Speaking of medicine.
Jiang Yan asked: "Did you drink the anti-allergy medicine I gave you before you left?"
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Why does he keep bringing up issues that are not related to the topic? He is only shooting himself in the foot.
"You didn't drink." Jiang Yan came to the conclusion in a second.
"...drank it." Gu Jingyun's scalp tingled when he thought of the bottle of black potion.
"Really? What does the medicine taste like?" Jiang Yan asked.
Gu Jingyun recalled the smell that wafted from the wing room that day and boldly guessed, "It tastes bitter, and a little sour."
Jiang Yan deliberately said: "No! You didn't drink at all!"
Gu Jingyun always felt that he was not wrong and suspected that Jiang Yan was cheating him.
But he didn't hesitate for even a second, and immediately slid to his knees: "Sorry, I didn't drink it. Because I wasn't sick that day, the redness on my skin was not an illness, but... the weather was too hot."
Um?
Jiang Yan was slightly confused. The wind was strong at the dock and it was autumn now. How could it be hot?
"People who practice martial arts have strong qi and blood, and the autumn heat makes it even hotter."
Gu Jingyun insisted: "I often suffer from summer heat, it's just the heat."
Jiang Yan believed it reluctantly.
"Next time I'll make you a potion to prevent heat stroke."
Gu Jingyun's smile suddenly became forced.
No one knows that the young master of the Sword Sect, who is fearless and unafraid of anything, is actually very afraid of hardship.
But he didn't want to reject Jiang Yan.
Deliver medicine.
Back and forth, back and forth. Isn't this how we can meet?
Even if you don't meet in person, it's a good way to maintain a relationship.
"Okay." Gu Jingyun agreed very readily.
Jiang Yan thought about it and there was nothing else to do.
He just wanted to hear Gu Jingyun's voice.
"Is Master Ling still waiting for your guidance?" Jiang Yan asked.
Gu Jingyun said unhappily: "Why do you still remember him?"
Instead of calling me by my full name in such an intimate way, it would be better to just call me by my full name.
Jiang Yan was bewildered: "? Didn't you just tell me that?"
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Gu Jingyun coughed lightly: "I forgot, sorry."
Jiang Yan was worried. His memory was so bad. Should he drink some tonic medicine?
He has a complete set of prescriptions, including all kinds of potions.
Gu Jingyun calmly said, "When he was sparring with me just now, he couldn't even get through a hundred moves, and that was when I deliberately let him do that."
Jiang Yan was confused: "Oh."
Although he had not spent a long time with Ling Hanzhang, Jiang Yan had already seen through his strength.
Gu Jingyun was able to grab Jiang Yan's hand before Jiang Yan could react, and Ling Hanzhang was repeatedly caught by Jiang Yan's spiritual vision and was caught red-handed while trying to sneak away.
If a real fight breaks out, Jiang Yan's realm is not as good as Ling Hanzhang's, so he would probably suffer a loss.
But Gu Jingyun is different, he is very capable.
It sounds normal to beat up a junior fellow student and have him be unable to fight back.
Jiang Yan was not surprised at all, nor did he express any opinion on this.
Gu Jingyun waited for a moment, but nothing happened, so he said, "Then I'll go teach my apprentice."
Jiang Yan: "Okay."
The spiritual power that sustained the sound transmission was cut off, and the talisman paper immediately burned to ashes.
Jiang Yan remembered that he had hurried to find his master today, and only practiced sword for a while in the morning before leaving halfway.
No, I haven’t practiced enough.
The young man frowned and stood up from the couch.
A finger moves.
The Demon-Breaking Sword came out of its sheath with a "swish" and hovered steadily an inch above Jiang Yan's right hand.
Jiang Yan grasped the hilt of the sword, found an open space on the spaceship, and began to swing the sword.
Amid the sound of breaking wind, his eyes gradually calmed down.
**
Gu Jingyun shook off the dust in his hands.
He turned around, brushed away the drooping willow branches with his hand, and walked back with big strides.
After walking a few steps, he saw Ling Hanzhang standing not far away, looking at him with raised eyebrows, his eyes full of mischievous smile.
Before he even opened his mouth, Gu Jingyun knew what he was going to say.
As expected, Ling Hanzhang protested in a fake manner: "Brother, how can you forget your loyalty for the sake of beauty! You slapped me away mercilessly for the sake of a beauty! It's really-"
Before he could finish his words, a sword formed by true energy came towards him fiercely.
Ling Hanzhang quickly dodged to the side.
The sword with a cold glow did not pursue, but passed by it and hit a huge rock a few meters behind it, piercing into the hard stone.
"boom--!"
The huge rock turned into a pile of rubble in an instant.
Ling Hanzhang: “…”
That is a trial stone specially used for disciples to learn martial arts. It is a stone that cannot be broken even if it is mixed with innate energy, punched or chopped with swords every day!
It was bought at a huge price from the Xingyun Sect, and it hasn’t cracked at all in a hundred years. It’s also jokingly called the Trial Stone of the Vajra Invincible Stone. How could it break with just a casual blow from my senior brother?
Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "If you can't learn the word 'respect', I will teach you myself."
Ling Hanzhang restrained himself visibly, lowered his head and said honestly: "Brother, I was wrong."
"There won't be a next time." Gu Jingyun said coldly.
"Yes." Ling Hanzhang shrank his neck.
Gu Jingyun sighed, and said angrily: "When will you be able to be more stable? You are always so unfocused, how can I entrust the Sword Sect to you in the future?"
Ling Hanzhang was surprised: "Where are you going, Brother? Are you going to Beizhou to find the Snow Demon King in advance?"
Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and asked calmly, "No?"
"Brother, you absolutely cannot do that!"
Ling Hanzhang said anxiously, "Your realm has been stagnant for a hundred years, but the demon king may not be. This trip is likely to be dangerous! Have you forgotten how you survived a hundred deaths to get out of the snow realm last time?"
"Oh?" Gu Jingyun said slowly, "Am I afraid of him? Besides, his injuries are more serious than mine. He might have died a long time ago."
Ling Hanzhang frowned and spoke quickly: "Master and Master's wife's black ice coffin can last another three to five years. We will definitely find other ways to delay the poison. And..."
He bravely said, "Master said before he passed out that you are not allowed to go to the Snow Realm again!"
Gu Jingyun paused and said, "You make me worry every day, how can I find time to find a way to detoxify?"
His tone was full of disappointment.
Ling Hanzhang pursed his lips, his expression gloomy.
"It's my fault..." He whispered, "I, I will practice hard."
Gu Jingyun sneered: "It's a promise that can be made with just a few words."
Ling Hanzhang gritted his teeth.
He knelt in front of Gu Jingyun, looked up at his senior brother, and swore: "From today on, I will swing my sword ten thousand times every day."
Gu Jingyun softened his tone: "If you say something, you must do it."
"I will never be lazy." Ling Hanzhang asked: "Brother, are you still going to the Snow Realm?"
"I had no intention of going."
Gu Jingyun said lazily: "What I said is that after I ascend to heaven, I will entrust the Sword Sect to you. You are just making blind guesses, I am really embarrassed to interrupt you."
"???!" Ling Hanzhang got up from the ground and said in disbelief, "Senior Brother, you lied to me?"
"I don't."
“Yes!”
"I don't want to argue with you. You have to fulfill your promise. Otherwise--"
Gu Jingyun pointed to the gravel not far away, smiled, and said slowly: "This is your fate."
Ling Hanzhang: “…”
Gu Jingyun turned around and left. Everyone had left the martial arts field when he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned back.
The smile was gentler than ever before.
Ling Hanzhang stared at him intently and said vigilantly: "What are you planning?"
Gu Jingyun took out a glass bottle from the Sumeru Ring.
The glass bottle was tightly blocked by a cork and was two-thirds filled with black-purple liquid. When it was shaken, tiny bubbles rose from the liquid.
It doesn't look good.
"Junior brother, do me a favor." Gu Jingyun said in a gentle voice.
"No help." Ling Hanzhang decided to run away.
Gu Jingyun took action to capture the person.
Ling Hanzhang couldn't break free: "What are you doing!!"
Gu Jingyun said: "Help me test the medicine. Take a sip and taste the saltiness."
Ling Hanzhang was terrified.
Taste the saltiness, will he really die after taking this bite? The senior brother finally couldn't stand his dandyism and wanted to poison him to death!
"Don't be afraid. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it for you."
"I'm the one drinking, why are you worried?!"
"I will pay for the Qingfeng Valley medical practitioner's visit to your clinic."
"I won't--" Ling Hanzhang would rather die than surrender.
"Hmm?" Gu Jingyun smiled.
“…”
"Say it again if you have the guts." Gu Jingyun said gently, "Say it and I'll let you go."
Ling Hanzhang didn't have the courage, he went to get the glass bottle with tears in his eyes.
This bottle of medicine doesn't look as scary as my brother's.
If you drink a sip, you may just go to live in Qingfeng Valley, but if you get beaten up by your senior brother, you will die.
Ling Hanzhang reached out to pull out the cork from the bottle and was about to take a sip when Gu Jingyun raised his hand to stop him.
"I still want to keep this bottle of medicine. You can use the cup."
Gu Jingyun was well prepared and handed over a teacup.
Ling Hanzhang took it angrily.
He was asked to risk his life, yet he dared to despise him!
Ling Hanzhang poured a glass, stared at the black and purple liquid with tiny bubbles in the glass, and drank it all up with a fearless attitude!
The posture is heroic.
A second later, his face turned pale as paper.
"How is it?" Gu Jingyun held him and asked nervously, "What does it smell like?"
How heartless! The first question he asked was about the taste instead of whether he wanted to see a doctor.
At the urging of his senior brother, Ling Hanzhang raised his finger and said tremblingly: "It tastes exactly the same as... the medicine from Qingfeng Valley!"
It tastes just as bad!
"Be more specific." Gu Jingyun was dissatisfied.
Ling Hanzhang had no choice but to savor the remaining medicinal flavor on his tongue.
"This is too bitter! Bitter yet sour, sour yet astringent... What a strange taste!"
Gu Jingyun hissed and asked curiously, "Then I wasn't wrong. How could he find out?"
Ling Hanzhang asked sharply: "Who? Who gave you this poison?"
"Leave the kid alone."
Gu Jingyun snatched the medicine bottle back, stuffed it carefully, and put it back into the Sumeru Ring.
"Practice sword skills well and don't let me catch you slacking off." Gu Jingyun waved his hand casually and left with a swagger.
Ling Hanzhang: “.”
Just throw it away after use, without even giving you a sugar pill!
Having such a cold-blooded and heartless senior brother makes me want to cry.
Ling Hanzhang ran after him and shouted at his senior brother's back, "You really won't go, right?! At least you won't go secretly!"
Gu Jingyun threw a threat without even turning his head.
"Let's talk later. But if you don't practice well, I will leave tomorrow."
Ling Hanzhang: “…”
My senior brother is really scheming and knows how to manipulate people.
