Chapter 26 Chapter 26 You don’t smile, is it because you don’t like to smile…
Jiang Yan was still frightened.
All of you uncles and aunts are so enthusiastic that I really don’t know what to do.
The volume was too loud and there were so many people talking at the same time. You talked, I talked, and it was like being among hundreds of quacking ducks.
It's so noisy.
It was a painful torture for Jiang Yan's ears.
Unfortunately, not only could he not leave, he was also the topic of everyone's conversation and the center of everyone's attention.
The uncles and aunts seemed very pleased, especially the young uncle, who looked at him, nodded repeatedly and said something.
Jiang Yan listened carefully for a while, but his ears hurt because he couldn't understand what they were saying!
He had no choice but to hold the sword tightly, straighten his lips, and empty his expression and eyes amid the noisy laughter, trying hard to live up to the image of "the flower of Gaoling".
It doesn't matter, he's very cool.
So I won’t laugh.
Jiang Yan was only worried that his poor acting skills would be discovered.
When I was anxious, I happened to hear my uncle suspiciously ask, "Why is my nephew's body so tense?"
Jiang Yan was secretly shocked: I’m going to be exposed!
Even Master Hehuan and Fan Yang secretly thought that something was wrong.
The uncle walked around him twice, and finally stopped in front of Jiang Yan, staring at him without blinking, with a frown on his face.
Jiang Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
The next moment, Junior Master-Uncle suddenly smiled brightly and patted Jiang Yan's back vigorously.
"I just told a joke, did you think it was funny?"
The uncle laughed loudly and said happily: "Kid, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Why are you forcing yourself to hold it back?"
Jiang Yan: “……?”
ah?
He Huan Zhenren and other insiders: "..."
I can already guess how this will develop.
As expected, the uncle started circling around Jiang Yan, trying to make him laugh.
The jokes used were extremely speechless.
for example.
Uncle Master: "There is a couple in the world. The man said he was cold, so his lover brought him a quilt. He said he was lonely, so his lover helped him catch a few spirit pets. The man was angry and said his lips were dry, so his lover poured him a cup of hot water."
The uncle laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Nephew, do you find it funny too?"
People who didn't know the truth were laughing at the lover for his lack of emotional intelligence.
Those who knew about it could hardly breathe.
Jiang Yan: “…”
He Huan Zhenren and others: "..."
Master Hehuan was very angry.
If you want to tell a joke, just tell it. Why do you have to poke holes in someone's wounds?!
Yan'er can really do things like getting a quilt and pouring water!
Jiang Yan wanted to say something but stopped.
He didn't think it was funny.
There is nothing wrong with the story told by the uncle. If you are cold, cover yourself with a blanket; if you are lonely, find a playmate (a pet is also a companion); if you are thirsty, drink water.
Didn’t the lover in the story do a great job?
Why laugh at him?
Jiang Yan wanted to speak, but when he opened his lips just a little, he immediately felt a gaze piercing him like a needle.
Jiang Yan felt as if he was being stabbed in the back, and cautiously used his peripheral vision to explore.
He Huan Zhenren's hand seemed to accidentally brush his neck, and he looked at him dimly, with only one sentence written in his eyes:
[Yan'er, I will always watch over you——]
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Master is so scary!!
No matter how others teased, persuaded, or tried to get him to speak.
Jiang Yan remained completely silent.
Refuting the uncle's logic and the like is no big deal in the face of the master's threats.
The uncle refused to give up.
He couldn't believe that Jiang Yan didn't laugh at such a funny person or joke!
"Yan'er, is it really not funny?"
The uncle was unwilling to give up and said, "How did you hold back such a funny love story of a wooden spirit? No one in the Hehuan Sect can hold back from laughing!"
The people listening nodded sincerely and echoed, "That's right."
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang were not among those who agreed.
Their smiles were very forced.
Seeing that Jiang Yan looked unhappy, the master thought hard for a moment and tried to comfort him.
"Yan'er, don't worry. Once you enter the Hehuan Sect, you are one of us. You can put aside your outside personality for now. Laugh if you want to."
The master uncle said casually: "Anyway, you are not the man and lover in the story."
Jiang Yan fell into deep thought: "..."
The subtle feeling is somewhat implied.
Is it an illusion?
The other side.
True Man Hehuan was furious!
Laugh, laugh, laugh, what the hell are you laughing at!
If anyone is to blame, then the lover's man can only be blamed. He was too euphemistic in his words and not direct enough in his actions. How can the lover be blamed for the mistake?
In short, Yan Er was absolutely right even if she poured hot water on the man!!
Master Hehuan ended the topic immediately.
"Junior brother! Yan'er is easily shy, please stop forcing him."
The uncle sighed: "Yan'er, you don't smile, is it because you don't like to smile?"
Jiang Yan sticks to the persona assigned to him.
"Yes, Uncle Master." He said expressionlessly, "I am rather aloof and I was born not to like to laugh."
The uncle said gently: "This is our first meeting, so just give me some face."
Jiang Yan thought about it, after all, he was the elder.
He curled his lips slightly and smiled very reluctantly.
Uncle Master: ! !
The master uncle had a clean face and no beard, but in order to show his image as an elder, he kept stroking his air beard and said with satisfaction:
"Yan'er looks so pretty when she smiles. She's pleasing to the eyes."
The uncle pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yan'er, I know why you are not laughing. In fact, the truth has nothing to do with personality."
Jiang Yan cautiously probed: "Oh?"
The uncle suddenly smiled brilliantly and said cheerfully: "Because you are too beautiful, one smile can conquer a city, another smile can conquer a country, so I dare not laugh!"
Jiang Yan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Uncle Master: "What do you think? Is my double-entendre joke funny... eh? Yan'er, why are you expressionless again?"
He Huan Zhenren said helplessly: "Junior brother, please take back your magical powers!"
Jiang Yan avoided others and quietly walked to Fan Yang.
He asked quietly: "Brother, we are here at the Hehuan Sect, right?"
Fan Yang: “…”
Don't be like this!
If even you doubt it, we in the Hehuan Sect will be too ashamed to face anyone.
Fan Yang closed his eyes and asked, "Junior brother, why do you say that?"
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "Because Master said that Master's uncle and Master's uncle are both smart people."
Is this true or not? It doesn’t look like it.
Hearing this, Fan Yang suddenly became very weak.
He had to hold on to his fellow apprentice's arm to keep his balance.
Before they could explain, their uncle came up to them.
"Yan'er, why are you hiding from me?" The uncle took a closer look, "Huh? Fan Yang, why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fan Yang immediately followed up on what he said: "Yes, a little bit. I get boat sick."
"You didn't have this problem before. Could it be that you hid someone on the spaceship and were secretly practicing dual cultivation yesterday?" said the uncle.
Fan Yang simply didn't dare to look Jiang Yan in the eye.
I had some doubts just now, but I don't have them now.
In this whole world, apart from the Hehuan Sect, who else would openly talk about dual cultivation!
Seeing that the uncle master wanted to ask again.
Fan Yang decisively shouted: "Master!!"
Zhenren Hehuan quickly came to the rescue.
"How long are we going to stand here? Everyone must be tired after the long journey."
"Master, are you ready for the disciple-taking ceremony? I will hold the ceremony as soon as we return to the sect."
The leader of the Hehuan Sect is the senior brother of Hehuan Zhenren, who is also Jiang Yan’s great uncle.
There is no ugly person in the entire sect.
The head of the sect is no exception.
The headmaster's long gown rustled in the wind, and he had a handsome face.
"Brother is right."
The head of the sect said kindly, "Everything is ready, don't worry. The others can take the flying boat back to the mountain, and the other new disciples are entering the Hehuan Sect for the first time, so they must climb the steps to the sky from the foot of the mountain themselves."
The spacecraft was parked on an open grassland, but standing on the grass to chat was not a good idea.
Led by the leader, the group walked to the foot of the mountain of the Hehuan Sect.
There is a barrier separating the fairy mountain from the mortal world. There is a plaque at the foot of the mountain, indicating that this is the mountain of the Hehuan Sect and mortals are not allowed to enter.
Ordinary people who have not embarked on the path to immortality, without the permission of the Hehuan Sect, will feel more foggy the higher they go, no matter if they ignore the warnings and insist on going up the mountain, or if they accidentally stray in.
At most, you will lose your way when you reach halfway up the mountain.
But if you wake up in time and return to the right path, you only need to turn around and the way down the mountain will be clearly visible before you.
This kind of maze can also stop cultivators at the foundation-building stage and below, but it cannot stop cultivators at a higher level.
Most of the people who entered the Hehuan Sect at the same time as Jiang Yan have already established their foundation, and only a few are still in the Qi Refining stage.
A cultivator's age cannot be told from his appearance. For example, there was a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage and was already 200 years old. He could not advance to the golden elixir stage no matter what, so he came to the Hehuan Sect to look for an opportunity to advance.
For example, there was a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who was tall and strong, with a tough face and looked extremely mature.
Everyone said that if he was not thirty, he must be three hundred, but the brother said aggrievedly: "Seniors, you are joking. I just turned eighteen this year, how can I be three hundred years old."
Everyone was shocked.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but secretly take a few more glances.
This brother is several years younger than him. What on earth did he eat to grow so tall and strong?
A little envious.
Jiang Yan followed behind Master Hehuan, fished in troubled waters, and passed the first level by keeping an expressionless face.
Now we have reached the second stage.
The headmaster introduced the heavenly stairs they were going to climb.
The so-called climbing the ladder to heaven and mountain to seek the truth was originally a maze created by the Sword Sect as part of the test for new entrants into the sect.
The ladder to heaven can confuse people's minds and make them hallucinate. Only those who stick to their original hearts can break through the maze and find the right path.
"...Later, this test became popular throughout the cultivation world, and people everywhere copied it, but none of them were as effective as the Sword Sect's formation."
The head of the sect said cheerfully, "I thought that our Hehuan Sect should also keep up with the trend, so I went to the Sword Sect and asked for the weakened version of this formation."
Someone couldn't help but ask: "They are willing to give it?"
The head of the sect said, "Of course he is willing. If you have money but don't make it, you are a bastard. Besides, the young master of the Sword Sect is not only a sword cultivator, but also a businessman. Of course he is happy to do it."
The uncle snorted coldly and added, "The heavenly mazes used in the outside world are almost all weakened versions bought from the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect also sends people to collect copyright fees every year, and the Hehuan Sect also pays for it!"
Newcomers: “…”
Jiang Yan: “…”
The sturdy brother who just turned 18 asked curiously, "Is there no one who just refuses to give it?"
Are all the people in the entire cultivation world honest?
"Yes. There was once a sect that wanted to keep up with the fashion but didn't want to pay. After getting the formation diagram, they immediately changed their mind, regretted their decision and angered the Sword Sect." said the uncle.
"And then?" Everyone pricked up their ears.
The uncle said expressionlessly, "Young Master Gu flattened the mountaintop of that family, and said that in this way, the entire sect would not have to climb mountains."
"Then, we charged them double the fee for the formation diagram and the mountain cutting."
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Yan had a complicated expression.
I didn't expect Gu Jingyun to have such a side! Really——
So clever!
Jiang Yan sincerely felt that Gu Jingyun did an excellent job and was worth learning from.
