Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Young Master Gu fled in panic.
What does it mean to make elixirs using kitchen utensils?
Gu Jingyun was very puzzled. He rushed to the main courtyard in confusion. After passing the hanging flower gate, he happened to meet Jiang Yan standing at the door, holding a short stick in his hand, pointing at the sky, and muttering something.
The next moment, the thick smoke floating above the main courtyard dissipated at an extremely fast speed, and the dirty areas of the courtyard caused by the explosion were swept by a tornado-like water tornado, which only took away the dirt without leaving a drop of water.
In just a few breaths, the main courtyard returned to its former tranquility and cleanliness, and the crimson clouds of dusk reappeared in the sky.
Jiang Yan's arms dropped, and he was about to put the wand back into his sleeve, but in the blink of an eye he saw the black-robed swordsman standing silently not far away, holding something in his hand.
Jiang Yan's fingers shrank and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the wand.
——When did he appear?! I didn't even notice him at all. How high is Gu Jingyun's realm!
He even sent Qibao and other servants away just to use wand magic to clean up the mess.
He was not proficient enough in wandless magic, and he was afraid that a water dragon would blow the house down.
"You..." Jiang Yan asked hesitantly, "Did you see everything?"
Not far away, the man with a long sword on his back nodded and strode over.
Before Jiang Yan could say anything, Gu Jingyun spoke first, his tone full of admiration, not even mentioning the fact that Jiang Yan almost blew up his house while refining the elixir.
"The Immortal Lord's move was extremely exquisite. He controlled the water dragon to move between the shadow walls without damaging them at all. This shows how meticulously the Immortal Lord controls his magic power."
Jiang Yan: “…”
It didn't look like she was going to ask him about his wand.
Gu Jingyun asked: "Is this short staff the Immortal Lord's magic weapon?"
Finally I asked.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to nod, "Yeah."
"Doesn't the Immortal Monarch practice swordsmanship?" Gu Jingyun asked.
"I...I learn both." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun didn't take it seriously. It was not uncommon for people to learn both swordsmanship and magic at the same time. He just said "Oh" and lightly skipped the topic.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask: "You don't ask?"
"What do you want to ask?" Gu Jingyun seemed a little confused. "Ask about your magic weapon?"
"After all, it's probably a little strange." Jiang Yan said.
"How could that be? It's just a magical weapon made of a short staff. I've seen many similar ones. I just took a few glances at it and found that your short staff is more exquisite than those on the market." Gu Jingyun said with a smile.
Jiang Yan turned his head suddenly and said urgently: "You...you have seen it?!"
Gu Jingyun nodded: "There are people selling them in the city, and they have all kinds of styles. If you are interested, I will go shopping with you tomorrow."
"good."
Jiang Yan really wanted to go and take a look, so he nodded in agreement.
For some reason, Gu Jingyun looked even happier than Jiang Yan, with the corners of his lips raised and a smile in his eyes.
"Come to my yard. I brought you some snacks. I wonder if they suit your taste."
Jiang Yan followed him, but did not enter his own courtyard. Instead, he made a detour, walked along a long and narrow corridor, crossed another hanging flower gate, and went to the next courtyard.
The entire main courtyard covers a large area, divided into east and west side courtyards on the left and right, and there is a larger one in the middle, which is Gu Jingyun's living room.
Jiang Yan lives in the east courtyard, on the left side of Gu Jingyun.
It's just a wall away, but you still have to walk so far to enter through the main gate.
There was a stone table and stone bench in the courtyard. Gu Jingyun placed the snack box on the table and waved, "Come and sit down."
Jiang Yan responded and sat down, his eyes still looking at the high wall - the partition wall between the east courtyard and the main courtyard.
Gu Jingyun: "What are you looking at it for?"
Jiang Yan said honestly: "I was thinking, it's just a wall, but we have to walk a lot of ways, it's better to..."
Gu Jingyun: "Why not?"
Jiang Yan: "It's better to climb over the wall, that way it will be faster."
The man in black was surprised for a moment and then burst out laughing.
"You are quite right."
Jiang Yan asked: "Is this why you didn't go through the main gate this morning and climbed over the wall to see me? I understand."
Gu Jingyun:!!!
“Ahem…”
What a shocking statement! Gu Jingyun almost choked on his own saliva.
Just then, a servant came forward to serve tea. Holding the teapot, he added tea and poured water while looking at his young master with a meaningful look.
Gu Jingyun: "...That's not the case."
The servant lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, young master. My ears are not good and I didn't hear anything."
You obviously heard it all.
Gu Jingyun said coldly: "Get lost."
The servant put the teapot on the corner of the table, bowed and left neatly, and walked away quickly without looking back, for fear of hearing another word!
Jiang Yan hesitated and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
The man in black clothes soothed her gently, but turned his face away and looked away.
Jiang Yan tilted his head and leaned forward.
"Then why don't you want to look at me?" Jiang Yan had excellent eyesight and quickly caught the man's slightly red earlobes covered by his black hair. He asked in confusion: "Young Master, your ears..."
Young Master Gu stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to tell the servants. Please sit down for a while and help yourself to the tea and snacks on the table. I'll be back soon."
"etc--"
Jiang Yan raised his hand to stop him, but unfortunately he was too late. He had to watch Gu Jingyun use his Qinggong skills to escape from the yard in a few jumps.
“…”
Jiang Yan pursed his lips and slowly put down his hand.
He sat quietly on the stone bench, his back straight as a pine tree, but his hands unconsciously ruffled the hem of his clothes. Then he came to his senses and straightened it quickly.
The snack box on the table was still open, and the warm tea was gradually cooling down, but Jiang Yan didn't touch any of it, not even raising the teacup to his lips.
It takes about a cup of tea.
Gu Jingyun left and came back in a fluttering suit. His face was normal, and he seemed to have regained his former elegance and handsomeness.
He strode closer and was stunned to see that Jiang Yan had not drunk a single drop of water and the snacks were still intact.
Seeing Jiang Yan's expression of pursing his lips and keeping silent, he understood instantly.
"No, you really didn't say the wrong thing." Gu Jingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was his own poor psychological quality that made him fail. How could he blame it on Jiang Yan?
Jiang Yan said calmly: "Young Master Gu, don't worry about my face. If you did something wrong, you did it wrong. Just say it directly."
He paused, and then said, "Besides, this is your courtyard. You are the host and I am the guest. If Master Gu doesn't want to see me, don't force me. I should be the one to leave."
Jiang Yan stood up from the stone bench, his voice was a little low, and he sounded a little lost.
"It's my fault. I didn't know how to speak properly and caused you to be laughed at by the servants. I'm sorry."
Gu Jingyun was totally at a loss. After hearing the last sentence, he asked cautiously, "Do you know why he laughed at me?"
Jiang Yan nodded.
Gu Jingyun suspected that he was pretending to know something when he didn't: "Tell me about it."
Jiang Yan said seriously, "Because Young Master Gu is a noble, a person of status. It would be embarrassing to tell others about climbing over the wall, and it is not in accordance with etiquette. "
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
You really don’t understand!
It is embarrassing. But the shame is not that I “ignored my identity to climb over the wall”, but that I “secretly climbed over the wall to see you”.
It's a pity that his reputation throughout his life would be ruined today by Jiang Yan's careless words.
But the main character still can't grasp the key point!
Gu Jingyun closed his eyes and sighed.
"I've climbed over the wall so many times. He didn't laugh at me for climbing over the wall, but..."
Jiang Yan looked as if he was listening attentively.
Gu Jingyun told the truth with despair: "He was laughing at me for not having any modesty. I climbed over the wall to see you so early in the morning and didn't even bother to go through the main gate."
Jiang Yan savored it for a few seconds.
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't understand. Isn't this the same meaning?"
Gu Jingyun had an expression of understanding that said, "I knew you didn't understand."
"Don't worry about them, they are a bunch of servants that I spoiled. I will punish them by making them clean the toilet later."
Gu Jingyun reached out and rubbed Jiang Yan's hair, then pushed him back to the stone bench, with a bit of tenderness in his eyes, "I really don't know how you developed this kind of personality."
Jiang Yan looked up at him, was silent for a moment, and said: "I grew up in the forest. The animals I came into contact with the most were not people, but birds and animals in the jungle, and -"
"Um?"
"And my mother's people. But most of them have been away from the hustle and bustle of the world for a long time and are simple and naive."
Gu Jingyun said: "No wonder, you are also ignorant of the world and have a simple and naive personality."
Jiang Yan frowned and retorted: "I'm not naive, I'm very cunning."
Gu Jingyun smiled immediately.
Jiang Yan didn't know which word made him laugh. He kept silent, took a few snacks and ate them by himself.
Gu Jingyun raised his hand to pour out the cold tea and refilled it for him. He did not touch the snacks, but rested his chin on his palm and looked at Jiang Yan with a smile.
Jiang Yan asked: "You bought it, why don't you eat it?"
"It's enough for me to look at you." Gu Jingyun teased.
Jiang Yan fell into deep thought: "You mean, you can get full just by looking at me? What kind of weird fasting method is this? I've never heard of it."
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
Forget it, forget it!
——This is also the lovable thing about Jiang Xianjun.
Gu Jingyun secretly comforted himself.
Gu Jingyun changed the subject: "I heard that you have been refining pills today."
Jiang Yan: "Well, I was doing experiments, but they all failed."
Gu Jingyun: "They said you used kitchen utensils to make elixirs."
"...kitchenware?"
No matter how many times I explained it, they still thought it was a pot for making soup.
Jiang Yan shook his head speechlessly, "That's my crucible."
"Can you lend it to me for a look?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Jiang Yan was very straightforward. He took the crucible out of the ring and handed it over.
Gu Jingyun took it and flipped it over: "..."
Isn't this a pot in the kitchen?
Although the form is slightly different, the usage should be basically the same.
It doesn't look like a proper alchemy furnace at all.
Gu Jingyun put the blame back on Jiang Yan, suspecting that Jiang Yan had been detached from the world when he was young, traveled around after he grew up, and now had been cheated.
After all, Jiang Xianjun looks like someone who is easy to deceive.
Jiang Yan said: "This crucible is different from other pots."
Gu Jingyun suspected that he had been deceived: "What's the use?"
Jiang Yan immediately introduced: "There are runes engraved on it, which can greatly improve the efficiency while increasing the efficacy of the medicine, and can also increase the success rate when brewing some ancient recipes. The material is also good, resistant to explosions and not easy to break."
He also pointed the rune to Gu Jingyun.
The pattern of the runes was unfamiliar and had never been seen before.
Gu Jingyun's fingers slowly stroked the carving marks and indeed felt a strange power contained therein.
He pondered for a moment: "...It is indeed extraordinary. How much is this pot?"
Jiang Yan was delighted, finally there was someone who knew what he was talking about!
"It's worth a fortune! I spent a lot of effort to buy it, and even went to the black market to sell several bottles of medicine for it." Jiang Yan said proudly.
Is this thing worth a fortune?
Gu Jingyun sneered.
If any bastard dares to deceive Jiang Yan, he will pull out his tongue if caught!
