Chapter 50 Chapter 50 (Two in One) "Pinch me...
When Jiang Yan returned to the small building with the selected herbs, he saw Song Hua and a strange young man squatting on the ground repairing the door.
"Commander Song, why is the gate broken?" Jiang Yan asked blankly.
Song Hua was holding the door frame, while another young man was hammering at it. Hearing the sound, they both turned their heads at the same time.
"The Immortal Lord is back." Song Hua said vaguely, "This door has been in disrepair for a long time and is not strong. I dismantled it and rebuilt it."
"Really?" Jiang Yan looked at the door a few more times. It was clearly new. Besides, Manager Zhang would never dare to let the young master live in a dilapidated house.
"...Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, the young master wanted to test our skills, and when Commander Ji and I were sparring in the courtyard, I accidentally broke the door." Song Hua said.
Jiang Yan suddenly realized.
No wonder, that makes sense.
He looked at the young man with black hair and blue eyes. This man should be Commander Ji.
Ji Ziheng put down his hammer, stood up first and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Lord. I am Ji Ziheng, the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Guard."
"Hello, hello."
Jiang Yan greeted him quickly and couldn't help but look into his eyes a few more times.
People in the magic world have all kinds of hair and eye colors. After being used to seeing black eyes, it feels so familiar to suddenly see a blue pupil.
Ji Ziheng was afraid that he would be scared, so he immediately explained: "I have foreign blood in the Western Regions."
Jiang Yan said sincerely: "The eye color is very beautiful."
Ji Ziheng: "...Thank you, Immortal Lord."
He was overthinking it. The Immortal King was a well-informed man.
Jiang Yan waved his hand: "Then you guys go ahead and get busy. Is Jing Yun in there? I'll show him the newly selected herbs."
Ji Ziheng nodded.
Jiang Yan walked into the house excitedly. Song Hua and Ji Ziheng looked at each other behind him. Song Hua looked Ji Ziheng up and down, staring into his eyes.
The two were silent for a few seconds.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ji Ziheng couldn't help but ask.
"Fortunately, the young master didn't hear the Immortal King praising you, otherwise the door would have broken again." Song Hua said.
"The young master is not the kind of person who would be jealous." Ji Ziheng said.
"That's hard to say," Song Hua shook his finger and said meaningfully, "Men in love are very unreasonable."
Ji Ziheng was speechless: "You have never been in a relationship, why are you pretending?"
Song Hua: "Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?"
Ji Ziheng immediately said: "You are making indirect accusations, saying that the young master is a pig! I heard it!"
Song Hua: “…………”
This door will be repaired later.
This fight has to be fought!
*
In the dead of night, Jiang Yan sneaked out of the room.
Even if you can open the curtains, the angle at which you can see the moon inside the house is very limited, not as good as the roof.
People with high cultivation levels are very sensitive to the movements around them.
Jiang Yan didn't want to disturb Gu Jingyun next door for fear of waking him up, so he was extra careful to make his movements light and tiptoe around, looking very stealthy.
The guards hiding in the dark were hesitant to speak.
Is the Immortal going to be a thief?
Are they planning to attack the young master at night? It sounds very much like the Hehuan Sect.
Should they pretend they didn't see it, or help the Immortal Lord pry open the young master's door?
Jiang Yan did not give his guards time to think. He pushed his wrist and tiptoed, then flipped over and jumped onto the roof.
The roof was empty, allowing my entire body to be bathed in the moonlight.
Jiang Yan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
The magic factor in the air is very rare, and it is only slightly richer under the moonlight.
With the help of the Hehuan technique, magic power and spiritual power will not fight each other for the time being - but only temporarily.
If the gap between the two is too big, it won’t work.
The Hehuan technique is just a harmonization, making up for the shortcomings with the good, and slightly compensating for the low content of magic factors in this world, which leads to slow growth of magic power.
But if you don't practice diligently, your spiritual power will increase rapidly, but your magic power will increase as slowly as a snail, and Libra will eventually fall completely.
Jiang Yan worked hard to absorb the magic factors and integrate them into his body, transforming them into natural magic power.
As the magic entered his body, a barely detectable silver-white glow appeared on the surface of his skin. As more magic was absorbed and the conversion speed increased, the glow became more and more obvious. From a distance, it looked like a layer of moonlight gauze was draped over the immortal.
This scene took on a different meaning in the eyes of those who were watching him closely.
Apart from practicing some specific techniques - for example, one needs to draw lightning into the body, during which the skin will have flashes of lightning - the rest of the time is just ordinary meditation with no special effects.
Now that one of them suddenly appears, people are secretly wondering: Could it be that this Immortal Lord Jiang Yan is really a god who flew down from the moon in the sky?
Especially, when Jiang Yan's handsome face was coated with a layer of cold fluorescent white light, his facial features were delicate and picturesque, his head was slightly lowered, and his jaw line was almost perfect.
Her appearance was still beautiful, but inexplicably she looked more noble and inviolable.
Everyone was amazed:
Even the cultivation method of Jiang Xianjun is so unique and beautiful.
In the distance, there were three people hiding in the shadows, deliberately restraining their auras so that Jiang Yan would not notice them at all.
Gu Jingyun withdrew his gaze and communicated with his subordinates through telepathy.
"Resemblance?"
Song Hua and Ji Ziheng nodded in unison: "A little bit."
Gu Jingyun: "Tell me more."
Song Hua carefully considered his words: "It is said that there is a rabbit fairy in the Moon Palace, who is always by the side of the fairy Chang'e. The rabbit fairy often holds a pestle and mortar to pound medicine."
Ji Ziheng also said: "I heard that the Immortal Lord likes and is good at processing herbs with a pestle and mortar, instead of refining pills with an alchemy furnace like most cultivators."
Gu Jingyun nodded: "That makes sense."
Normally, when monks make elixirs, they clean the herbs and throw them into the alchemy furnace, burning them with spiritual fire to force out the essence from the herbs.
Ah Yan, however, liked to clean and sort them, process the materials for making medicine with a silver knife, and often threw them into a pestle and mortar, pounding them into powder or squeezing out the juice, which he then poured into the pot to boil.
He has such a heavenly appearance and is a visitor flying down from the sky.
Could it really be the Jade Rabbit?
Gu Jingyun touched his chin, feeling that this idea was both absurd and reasonable.
Song Hua asked in distress: "Young Master, is the Immortal Monarch a rabbit demon or a rabbit fairy?"
Gu Jingyun was also struggling.
If it is a rabbit demon, then this kind of holy temperament that is proud of the cold and snow and cannot be violated is not something a demon can have.
If it is a rabbit fairy, fairies and monsters are two different paths. The weasel in East Street should not be so sophisticated as to smell the wrong smell and mistake it for its own kind.
"Forget it." Gu Jingyun made the final decision and said calmly, "They are all rabbits anyway."
No matter whether it is a fairy or a demon, its original form is a rabbit!
The two subordinates agreed: "Young Master is right!"
Gu Jingyun instructed Song Hua: "In the future, the cafeteria of Hehuan Sect should prepare more carrots, and other dishes that the immortal king likes to eat."
Song Hua: “Yes!”
What do rabbits like to eat?
Anyway, it won’t be a big meal.
Song Hua wanted to laugh when he thought that the entire Hehuan Sect would have to eat grass with the Immortal King in the future.
Gu Jingyun dismissed his subordinates and glared at the guards who were on night stand, asking them to stop staring at the Immortal Lord.
She quietly slipped onto the roof, sat quietly beside the Immortal Lord, and accompanied him in practicing.
When Jiang Yan opened his eyes, he was startled by Gu Jingyun.
"……Why are you here!?"
Didn't you go to sleep?
Fortunately, he climbed onto the roof carefully like a thief.
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "Ayan, is he absorbing moonlight to practice?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yan nodded. There was nothing wrong with absorbing the magic contained in the moonlight.
Gu Jingyun thought to himself, "As expected, I was not wrong."
He said solemnly: "Ayan, I have something to explain to you."
Jiang Yan: "What's the matter?"
Gu Jingyun explained in detail the evil deeds that the snake demon had done, and repeatedly stated that he was slaying demons and eliminating evil. The demons he slew were the most wicked and the evil that wreaked havoc on the human world.
"I have principles and I don't kill good monsters." Gu Jingyun said.
Jiang Yan was bewildered: "I know."
Gu Jingyun hinted: "Don't you have any secrets you want to share with me?"
Jiang Yan: "No... huh?"
Jiang Yan suddenly became nervous. Why did the young master say that? Did he know something?
For example, he is not a pure-blooded human, but the bloodline of a natural elf!
When he thought of this, he felt guilty, and his voice was a little erratic when he denied it.
"...No, I don't have any secrets."
Jiang Yan laughed dryly twice, his jaw clenched tightly.
It seemed natural in the eyes of outsiders, but in Gu Jingyun's eyes, there were flaws all over her body.
Gu Jingyun pinched Jiang Yan's face and sighed, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why lie to me?"
Jiang Yan knew he would be discovered.
Is he really a bad liar? Why does he fail nine times out of ten?
"...I'm sorry." Jiang Yan pursed his lips and whispered, "I did... hide something from you, but I can't tell you now."
"Is it about your true identity?" Gu Jingyun smiled, "I already know that you are not human."
Jiang Yan's pupils were shaking: "??"
His eyes flickered and he said stubbornly, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Gu Jingyun: "You confessed without being asked. Do you know that this is the most guilty sentence you can say after hiding something and being exposed?"
Jiang Yan: “Actually——”
Gu Jingyun drawled out his voice lazily: "Lie to me again? The true form of your ears will be exposed."
Jiang Yan shut up immediately, looking doubtful and uncertain: No way? Do you really know?
Gu Jingyun: "Weren't you just absorbing the moonlight to practice? This world is different from the past. Practicing should be very hard. It's hard for you."
It is Jade Rabbit after all.
"...You really know it!" Jiang Yan was shocked.
Gu Jingyun told Ji Ziheng the clues he had found, and then said, "So, I guess you and the demons come from the same world."
Jiang Yan hasn't come back to his senses yet. How could someone be so smart that he could understand something and guess it right the instant he thought about it?
Gu Jingyun asked: "Will you go back?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "I haven't found a way to go back yet."
Gu Jingyun: "You know the basic sword techniques of the Sword Sect."
"My father taught me."
"Is he a disciple of the Sword Sect?"
"I don't know, my father didn't tell me. His name is 'Jiang Qingsui'. Is this name on the list of disciples of the Sword Sect?" Jiang Yan asked.
The young master beside him was silent for a moment. After a while, he closed his eyes and said, "...There may be people with the same name, but there is only one person who is the most famous."
Jiang Yan asked: "Who?"
Gu Jingyun said with difficulty: "The sword immortal who ascended to heaven a thousand years ago."
Jiang Yan sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Impossible. I saw his sword intent through the two-way mirror at that time, and it was not like my father. What's more, the sword immortal practices the ruthless way, with cold feelings and cold temperament. My father..."
Jiang Yan said in a cryptic way: "He is usually quite out of tune. He likes to joke around and act cool in front of his mother. He is also very unreliable!"
"The most important thing is, my father said that the ruthless way is not the way that people should practice. He practices the compassionate sword, not the ruthless sword."
In fact, the original words were even more rude.
Jiang Qingsui’s original words were: “The ruthless way is something that even dogs don’t practice.”
Gu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really? I see." He said with relief, "Maybe it's just a coincidence of names."
I was almost sweating profusely.
After all, he had pursued and teased Jiang Yan under the sword intent left by the sword immortal.
Gu Jingyun asked: "Then how are you going to get back to...the other world?"
"I don't know." Jiang Yan said disappointedly, "Maybe I can go back by ascending."
After the words were spoken, the two fell silent again.
The sword immortal also survived the thunder tribulation and ascended to heaven after breaking through the void.
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Gu Jingyun felt a little suffocated.
No way? ?
Did he really molest his son under the sword of his father-in-law?
Fortunately, it was just a sword intent, and the sword immortal himself was not aware of it.
Otherwise, I don’t know how it will end.
Jiang Yan was in a much better mood: "If I have a chance, I will go to the Sword Sect to take a look. Only by trying to understand the sword intent up close can I know whether the Sword Immortal is my father or not."
"……Um."
Hearing that Jiang Yan was coming, Gu Jingyun felt a little better. He said, "Then I'll take you to meet my parents."
"Okay." Jiang Yan agreed immediately.
Gu Jingyun felt relaxed all over instantly.
The two of them sat on the roof to admire the moon. It was high up here, so they could see the scenery below.
The small building where they lived was in the backyard of Yuyuan Inn, separated from the guest rooms in the front by a wall and a hanging flower gate. There were also Tianlang Guards guarding the gate, so they had good privacy and no one could disturb them.
Gu Jingyun took out a jade token and put it into Jiang Yan's hand.
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and took a look. On the front of the jade token was engraved the word "Yan", and on the back was a sword and a zither.
The appearance of the sword and the zither is very familiar.
The zither is the Jiuxiao Zither and the sword is the Demon-Breaking Sword.
"This is... I seem to have seen it somewhere." Jiang Yan always felt that this jade token looked familiar.
Gu Jingyun laughed, took out his jade token and shook it.
"Here. Didn't I show it to you before when we were in Feng'an City?"
The one in the young master's hand still has a sword and a zither on the back, but the owners of the sword and the zither have become his parents.
"I carved one myself and give it to you. Yuyuan and Tianlang Guards can be mobilized with this talisman."
Gu Jingyun told Jiang Yan in detail how to contact the Heavenly Wolf Guards, and then said, "You are out there alone, if you run into trouble, don't handle it by yourself."
Jiang Yan: "...Yuyuan is fine, I can at most use it to get a discount when I buy something. The Tianlang Guard is your personal guard, how can I give them orders?"
Jiang Yan stuffed the jade token back to the young master.
It always feels hot.
Gu Jingyun grabbed Jiang Yan's wrist tightly to stop his movements.
The other hand grasped Jiang Yan's palm without any objection, slowly closed the half-open palm, and asked Jiang Yan to hold it tightly together with the jade token.
"To me, A-Yan is not an outsider." Gu Jingyun held his hand intimately, and asked gently and expectantly: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Yan pondered for a few moments.
nod.
"I understand." Jiang Mutou said with emotion, "We are best friends."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Jiang Yan said with emotion: "Young Master, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to thank you."
The north wind was chilly at night, and Jiang Yan shrank his neck due to the cold wind.
Gu Jingyun took out the cloak and carefully wrapped him up. The snow-white fur collar made the immortal's handsome face look even more handsome.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but rub the fur collar with the side of his cheek. It was soft and a little comfortable.
Gu Jingyun flexed his knuckles, his hands and heart were itching.
"...You want to thank me?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yan nodded, and the pair of eyes that looked over were clear and bright.
"Want to thank me? Easy."
Gu Jingyun decided to act like a gangster and be a pervert.
He moved closer to the Immortal Lord and said in a low voice, "Pinch my ears."
"…The original ears?"
"Um."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiang Xianjun neither blushed nor got angry, but pursed his lips strangely and said awkwardly: "No."
"Why?" Gu Jingyun intuitively felt that something was wrong and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jiang Yan said frankly: "I am a mixed-blood. If the blood is not pure, I will be born with defects. I don't have pointy ears, but only human ears."
Gu Jingyun's face changed.
Jiang Yan misunderstood and thought he was disappointed. Just as he was about to speak, he was hugged into someone's arms.
The body temperature from the young master enveloped him, and he could smell the ambergris on the young master's clothes.
Jiang Yan's reaction was a beat slow. Why did he suddenly want to hug me?
I heard the man's apology.
"sorry."
Gu Jingyun regretted it so much. He shouldn't have talked too much.
He guessed that Ayan was a hybrid of human and demon, but he didn't expect that being a hybrid would have such sequelae.
Physically disabled - these four words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Gu Jingyun's heart.
Ayan has lived in a tribe since he was a child. He is surrounded by people with pointed ears, but he doesn't have them. Will he be criticized by others? Will Ayan feel sad if he doesn't have pointed ears?
How dare he say something so frivolous and offensive like that.
Gu Jingyun said: "My request was too much."
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Yan thought about it and guessed why Gu Jingyun was apologizing.
Half-elves are indeed "disabled" to elves.
What's this.
Even without the elves' pointed ears, his hearing system is still far superior to that of humans, and his magical potential is no less than that of pure-blooded elves. In fact... it is stronger than any elf of the same age.
"I have never lost in the hunting competitions among my clan. When it comes to mastering natural magic, they are far inferior to me. In fact, I am the only one among my peers who was admitted to the top magic school."
Jiang Yan was very calm, "Without pointed ears, they can't bully me. If anyone dares to gossip, I will beat him up. If they dare to go home and complain, they will be scolded by their parents again when they get home."
Because he has been the "other people's child" in the eyes of his neighbors since he was a child, he is very outstanding, and the disadvantage of being mixed-race cannot cover up his brilliance.
Gu Jingyun whispered, "What if an adult comes to trouble you?"
Jiang Yan flipped through his memories and added, "My mother is the most powerful and highest-ranking priestess in the tribe. If someone is upset, my mother will punish him, and my father will take me to put him in a sack and beat him up."
Gu Jingyun smiled and hugged her tighter.
"So I wasn't bullied." Jiang Yan said.
"Well, that's good." Gu Jingyun said, "But I still feel bad."
The fact that he can speak so clearly must be because he has been bullied.
Public opinion is the most dangerous. Gossip can hurt people's hearts and even take their lives.
Gu Jingyun was deeply touched by this.
It's all in the past, why bother worrying about it?
He is now the most popular kid in the entire clan. Those who have bullied him regret it to death, but Jiang Yan didn't even give those people a glance.
Gu Jingyun hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to hold him in his arms.
Jiang Yan didn't know what to do, and tried to comfort her in a very pale voice: "Don't be sad, and I didn't suffer any loss."
All were retaliated on the spot!
Gu Jingyun touched the top of the immortal's head and coaxed, "Ayan is so amazing."
Jiang Yan thought about it, freed one arm from his cloak, and grabbed the man's arm.
"Is it okay to touch someone's ears without pointy ears?"
Jiang Yan took the initiative to put the young master's palm against his right ear and said seriously: "I don't know why you want to touch my ear...but don't use too much force, it will hurt."
Gu Jingyun was stunned, and his fingertips unexpectedly touched something warm and cool.
The Immortal King huddled in his arms to avoid the wind, tilting his head slightly, his black pupils sparkling, without a trace of sadness in them. It was as if the bad things in the past had already gone with the wind and could not affect his emotions.
The only person who can make the Immortal King care about him is the person who is hugging him in front of him.
Gu Jingyun lowered his eyes, and his throat suddenly felt extremely dry.
It was like a fire burning in my heart and in my body.
In fact, as soon as Jiang Yan said this, he wanted to take it back.
He said uncomfortably, "If you want to touch it, do it quickly, otherwise forget it."
The words have been spoken, how can I regret it?
Gu Jingyun carefully touched Jiang Yan's ear and gently stroked the immortal's outer ear with his index finger.
With just a light scrape, he could clearly feel Jiang Yan's body trembling slightly uncontrollably, and his suppressed breathing became cramped.
...so sensitive.
The young master's throat became increasingly drier, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
The more he was afraid of hurting him, the more gentle and slow his movements became. Little did he know that sometimes the slower he moved, the more fatal it could be. His fingers slid down along the auricle, and the person in his arms trembled more violently, but he was still trying to restrain himself, thinking that Gu Jingyun was unaware of it.
Jiang Yan couldn't bear it anymore before his fingertips even reached his earlobe.
He didn't even think of pushing the person away, but subconsciously lowered his head even lower, trying to curl up into a ball to avoid this torture.
"Don't hide."
The young master smiled and hugged her tighter, his fingertips slid down quickly and pinched the round and small earlobe.
“…”
Jiang Yan shuddered violently, buried his head, and forced himself to swallow back the strange sound that was about to come out of his mouth uncontrollably. His breathing became irregular.
So strange.
My whole waist feels weak.
I've never felt this way before, it's so strange.
Jiang Yan has always been a loner, with few close friends and even fewer brothers and sisters.
Is this how close friends and brothers get along with each other?
When I am cold, my friend wraps me in a cloak and hugs me tightly. When I am sad, my friend whispers to me and comforts me. He even wants me to pinch my ears.
He was extremely confused and bewildered.
Gu Jingyun didn't intend to go too far, so he pinched him lightly and then let him go.
She did not lift up the Immortal Lord's face, knowing that he would be embarrassed, so she let him hide with his head down and let him calm down on his own.
She just kept holding Jiang Yan, not letting him leave her arms.
After a while, Jiang Yan felt that his cheeks were no longer hot, so he pushed Gu Jingyun away.
Gu Jingyun let go readily.
Jiang Yan calmed down for a while and suddenly said, "I don't think this is right."
Gu Jingyun: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yan frowned: "We should keep our distance and not hug each other."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
No, it's still too much.
Gu Jingyun said calmly: "Others can't do it, but we can."
"Why?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Because we are close friends." Gu Jingyun said with the most sincere and innocent expression, "Close friends can not only hug each other, but also sleep with feet touching."
"Is it true?" Jiang Yan was suspicious.
"More real than pearls." Gu Jingyun said, "If you don't believe me, go look through the books, whether it's a storybook, a historical biography, or a poem or song, from ancient times to the present, good friends with deep friendships are all like this. The phrase "sleeping with feet touching" has been passed down in this way."
Jiang Yan thought about it seriously for a long time.
Finally, he nodded slowly: "That makes sense."
Gu Jingyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but then became even more worried.
His mind is so simple, he is too easy to be deceived.
Although he is vicious, the world is even more vicious. How can anyone let him roam the world alone without worry?
Having said that, Jiang Yan still couldn't accept the strange feeling that made his whole body feel weak and hot.
He crossed his hands in front of his chest, made a big "X" shape, and said seriously: "Don't pinch my ears in the future, no matter what the circumstances."
Gu Jingyun thought, you said the same thing last time.
If you really want to coax him, he thinks that there will be a next time for pinching his ears.
But Gu Jingyun still wants to be a human being.
He promised earnestly: "Okay, I'll remember that."
