Chapter 59 Chapter 59 It seems that even a few more glances are a...
That night.
In the immortal's bedroom, the flames from the candlesticks were reflected on the hollowed-out window paper.
A moment later, a tall man approached the candle. The shadow leaned forward slightly, and the candle flickered for a moment, and then went out completely.
The candles were blown out one after another, and the bedroom became completely dark.
There was silence inside and outside the house.
The Sirius Guards on the rooftop guarded for a long time, but they did not see the young master come out of the Immortal Lord's bedroom.
Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that the two masters' wedding night would be today.
Unexpectedly, less than two sticks of incense had passed since the celebration when the bedroom door was quietly opened from the inside.
Sirius Guard:?
So fast?
No one dared to test it, so they just quickly guessed the number.
The defeated Tianlang Guard was pushed out and asked timidly, "Young Master, do you want to order some water? The brothers haven't boiled the water yet..."
Gu Jingyun was stunned for a moment, and when he realized the implication, his face turned dark in an instant.
"...I was just coaxing the Immortal Lord to sleep, I didn't do anything else." He said grimly, "Are you guys too idle?"
The Sirius Guards were collectively horrified.
"Young Master, spare my life!"
Gu Jingyun's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "The Immortal King is resting, why don't you try to be louder?"
In a moment, the whole yard was silent.
The Sirius Guards covered their mouths with their hands to show their determination to "resolutely defend the Immortal King's quality sleep."
"You spread rumors and caused trouble. You will lose your bonus this month." Gu Jingyun said lazily.
The unlucky guy who lost the rock-paper-scissors game: "..."
No!
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to change shifts to watch the young master’s fun tonight!
His colleagues looked at him with sympathy and gloating, and patted him on the shoulder silently.
The bonus is gone, but I still have the monthly salary.
At worst, your brothers can buy you some steamed buns. You won’t starve to death anyway.
Gu Jingyun snorted coldly, turned around and went back to his bedroom - not far away, just separated by a wall from Jiang Yan's room.
…
At dawn, the morning light shone through the thin curtains into the room, casting a golden glow on the ground.
Jiang Yan had a good sleep without any dreams that night.
He got up without any delay, but in fact his brain had not yet started up and he had not yet fully woken up from his comfortable sleep.
After washing up, Jiang Yan changed his clothes and tied his long hair into a ponytail. He picked up the Demon-Breaking Sword and went to the martial arts field in the courtyard to start morning exercises.
All movements are like muscle memory.
It was not until he was halfway through his sword practice and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body that Jiang Yan slowly came to his senses.
It seemed like a lot happened yesterday.
For example, Gu Jingyun suddenly came to him, and he promised to help the young master grow soul-chasing grass to remove the poison and curse on his parents.
For example, He Huan Zhenren urged him to find a partner every day, and even dragged him to burn incense for the ancestor. The most surprising thing was that a wisp of green smoke came out of the burning incense burner, which excited the master so much that he burned another incense tower.
Another example...
It seemed that he and Gu Jingyun became sworn brothers last night.
He called him "brother", Gu Jingyun responded and even kissed him - although it was on the top of his head.
Afterwards, she insisted on putting him into bed and sat by his bed, waiting until he fell asleep before leaving.
On the first day of becoming brothers, Jiang Yan originally wanted to ask if the two brothers should sleep with their feet touching.
But Gu Jingyun didn't seem to want to sleep together and didn't even give him a chance to speak, so Jiang Yan had to give up.
With a living person sitting at the head of the bed, Jiang Yan thought he would be too nervous to sleep.
But things turned out to be unexpected.
When the young master's hand stroked his hair, he raised his eyes slightly and could catch a glimpse of the tall figure from the corner of his eye.
Jiang Yan's heart suddenly calmed down, and he felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Suddenly, I felt sleepy in a daze.
The bedroom was dim, and even the young master's face could not be clearly seen. But Jiang Yan saw his hand clearly.
The young master has big palms, long fingers and distinct knuckles.
He bent his fingers slightly, and his fingertips slid from the straightened hair to the ears of the immortal hidden in the hair.
Before Jiang Yan had the conditioned reflex to hide, the young master's fingertips had already left that sensitive spot and helped him pull the quilt properly.
When Gu Jingyun approached, Jiang Yan wanted to hide. When the man really pulled his hand away, Jiang Yan wanted to keep him, not realizing that he was attached to Gu Jingyun's body temperature.
Jiang Yan lost his mind in sleepiness and unconsciously turned his head, rubbing his cheek against Gu Jingyun's palm, which earned him a chuckle from the young master.
"Go to sleep, I'm here."
Jiang Yan only heard these words and then fell into a deep sleep. He couldn't even remember how he fell asleep.
“…”
The first time, Jiang Yan was a little absent-minded when practicing sword.
He practiced swordplay with a lot on his mind, and even increased the intensity of his practice. He sweated profusely and could no longer think of anything else.
During rest time.
Jiang Yan sat alone in the corner for a long time, thinking carefully about his inexplicable behavior last night, and finally came to a conclusion:
"It's because I recognized my brother that this happened."
Jiang Yan thought to himself that he had no brothers since he was a child, and now he was forced to travel through time and space, far away from his hometown.
It is normal to crave your brother's love and be reluctant to see him leave when you suddenly recognize him as a family member.
He liked staying by Gu Jingyun's side, liked sticking to him, liked him gently calling him "Immortal Lord", "Ayan", "Yan'er"... any name was fine.
As long as Gu Jingyun was talking to him and staring at him motionlessly, Jiang Yan would relax his brows and seem to feel happy in his heart.
There is only one reason for all this:
——They are natural brothers, a fate given by God.
They are not related by blood, do not share the same surname, and one is even a human and the other an elf, so they are of different races.
That doesn't matter.
Between sworn brothers! There is no need to care about anything else!
The onlookers, the Sirius Guards, were very puzzled.
The Immortal Lord was practicing sword skills well, but suddenly his expression changed several times, with a subtle and complicated look.
After finally finishing his morning exercise, he squatted in the corner with a distressed look on his face.
now……
How come it's on fire again?
Can morning exercise make you excited like a chicken? ?
The Sirius Guards all sighed:
——The Immortal Lord is really hard to understand.
**
Jiang Yan heard about the traitor from Gu Jingyun.
Song Hua came again to report that the secret guards had discovered that the elixir given to the traitor by the left protector of the demon clan was a medium-quality Emerald Rainbow Demon Crystal.
After the careful instruction of Taoist Wuyun, Jiang Yan also read a lot of classics in private. He already had sufficient understanding of the basic knowledge of the cultivation world, but it was the first time he heard this word.
"What is this?" Jiang Yan asked.
Song Hua said: "It is a spiritual medicine specially used for the demons or cultivators with demon seeds in their bodies to practice and advance. The energy contained in it is very easy to riot. No one except the demons can absorb it."
Jiang Yan: "What happens if you use too much?"
Is it a case of going astray? But the demons are demons, how else can they develop?
"He exploded and died." Gu Jingyun answered, and then asked: "Ayan wants it?"
Jiang Yan hesitated for a while and nodded.
"I want to study it. But the Emerald Rainbow Magic Crystal is very precious, and the Left Guardian certainly doesn't want to give too many good things to a small servant."
Jiang Yan said, "The amount is already small. If we let the Heavenly Wolf Guards take some out, it will be even less, right? I'm afraid of alerting the enemy."
"That's right."
Song Hua agreed, "If you want it, you might as well ask the young master directly. The demons are poor and stingy. The demon crystals in Zhang Quan's hands are of medium quality and in very small quantities."
Zhang Quan was the servant's name.
Song Hua secretly stepped on the demon and calmly drew the Immortal King's attention to the young master.
Gu Jingyun secretly gave Song Hua an appreciative look.
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jingyun expectantly: "Jingyun, do you have it?"
How did it change back to this name?
Gu Jingyun said: "Yes."
He took out a box and placed it on the table. Jiang Yan reached out to take it, but Gu Jingyun pressed his hand on the box, not letting it move even a little.
"?" Jiang Yan looked at the young master blankly.
"I can give you as many magic crystals as you want."
Gu Jingyun coughed lightly: "It's just..."
Song Hua looked at the young master speechlessly.
Young Master, you are so shameless that you are willing to use a magic crystal to lure the Immortal Lord.
Just as I finished complaining, I heard the young master gently ask: "How did A Yan call me last night? Can I hear it again?"
! !
Song Hua stood up quickly, looking horrified.
Do I think I can listen to the flirting between you two?
Song Hua quickly bowed: "I have something urgent to do, so I'll take my leave!"
In the blink of an eye, after a few takeoffs and landings, the person disappeared.
Jiang Yan was full of questions: "What is Commander Song going to do?"
Gu Jingyun said casually: "Perhaps people have three urgent needs."
Jiang Yan believed it: "Oh!"
There was no one around at this time. Gu Jingyun shook the box, and a crisp sound like the collision of jade came out from it.
He coaxed, "Ayan, if you want it, you have to ask for it."
Jiang Yan was puzzled. He just wanted to hear him call him brother.
They are already sworn brothers, so this is not difficult.
Jiang Yan shouted with full energy: "Brother, I want the Emerald Rainbow Magic Crystal, can you give it to me?"
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Jiang Yan was raised so well by the young master that the two of them had long been familiar with each other. It was completely different from the politeness and distance when they first met. Now there was no politeness at all.
Immortal Xiao Jiang stretched out his hand with confidence and spread out his palm.
"Brother?" he called again.
Gu Jingyun said reluctantly: "That's fine..."
He put the box into Jiang Yan's palm.
Jiang Yan hugged the box tightly, stood up, and cleared his throat very deliberately.
Gu Jingyun: “?”
The Immortal King has always been aloof and cold, with an expressionless face for most of the year, but at this moment there was a sly smile in his eyes.
Jiang Yan hugged the box with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to hold the young master's three fingers, shook them gently, and said quickly:
"Thank you, brother."
Gu Jingyun: “!!!”
The young master subconsciously reached out to grab the person, but Jiang Yan quickly withdrew his hand, ducked down, and ran away.
“…”
Gu Jingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Why does this guy run away after flirting with me?
Jiang Yan didn't have any intention of flirting, he just wanted to tease her and make a joke.
He only called her "brother" last night, and it was obvious that Gu Jingyun wanted to hear this.
As for running away after shouting.
If you do something bad, of course you have to run away!
Jiang Yan did not study the magic crystal immediately, but went to the medicinal field in the backyard.
He has a sword-fighting class in the afternoon, so he has to take this opportunity to plant the soul-chasing grass.
When I got to the medicinal field area, I found that the ground had been hoed.
The two Heavenly Wolf Guards who often helped him take care of the medicinal fields said, "The young master has already instructed us not to let the Immortal Lord work hard in the fields."
They volunteered, "My Lord, please give us the seeds as well."
The Sirius Guards were too enthusiastic, so Jiang Yan did not hesitate to hand over the seeds that had been distributed in advance to them.
Just think of it as saving energy.
Because he was unsure how much he would eventually need, Jiang Yan simply planted half of the Soul-Chasing Grass seeds he had on hand and kept the remaining half for backup.
Jiang Yan deliberately instructed to leave a small tree pit in the middle of the Soul-Chasing Grass field.
After the Sirius Guards had planted all the seeds, he took out a branch of the Elf Mother Tree and planted it.
The Sirius Guard wanted to help, but was rejected by Jiang Yan.
Just as he was concentrating on filling the hole with soil, he suddenly heard the young master's question from behind him.
"What is Yan planting? Soul-chasing grass?"
A handkerchief was wiped across his forehead, carefully wiping away the sweat.
Jiang Yan calmly accepted the young master's sweat-wiping service and said vaguely:
"It's not the Soul-Chasing Grass. It's the branch that can ensure that the Soul-Chasing Grass will germinate and mature smoothly."
Because he couldn’t grow the elf fruit before, Jiang Yan was reluctant to plant the branches of the mother tree.
Now that Gu Jingyun needed it, he planted it without thinking.
As for the safety of the branches——
After filling the soil and watering it, Jiang Yan buried several magic stones in the soil around the branches and set up multiple magic barriers.
Jiang Yan chanted an ancient spell that belonged only to the elves. The spell had a unique rhythm, as beautiful as a song and as mysterious as Zen.
Several huge hexagram magic circles flashed in the void, overlapping and merging into the soil.
In the realm of the Elf Mother Tree, the Soul-Chasing Grass will be protected by Mother Nature and will no longer be restricted in its growth by the shackles of the other world.
The magic circle will protect them - especially the mother tree, ensuring it is not harmed.
External attacks will be rebounded by the barrier, poison put into the soil will be eliminated and dissolved by the magic circle, and those who want to dig up the soil will be blocked by the magic circle.
Any adverse behavior towards the mother tree will trigger an alarm with just one click, and when Jiang Yan senses it, he will rush back to save it.
To set up such a huge formation requires a tremendous amount of effort.
This is why Jiang Yan did not refuse the help of the Tianlang Guard.
While he was chanting the formation, the others were watching with surprise in their eyes.
It is a product of another world.
In the hands of the demons, it is eerie and terrifying.
But when it was performed by Jiang Yan, it became holy and pure white.
The Immortal King was slightly lifted up by the huge magical power and was suspended in the air a few inches above the ground.
He was bathed in holy light, and his already snow-white skin became even whiter. There was no extra expression on his face, and because of this, he seemed even more lofty and inviolable.
Gu Jingyun subconsciously slowed down his breathing.
That was Jiang Yan he had never seen before.
So far away, so deserted.
It seems that even looking at it a few more times is a blasphemy.
As the holy light gradually dissipated, Jiang Yan slowly fell down.
The moment his heel touched the bottom, the young man fell suddenly to the side.
The expected fall and pain did not come. The moment he lost his balance, someone arrived in time and caught him.
"Ayan!" Gu Jingyun exclaimed.
Jiang Yan fell into Gu Jingyun's arms, his face pale.
It is normal to feel exhausted when using high-level magic circles in an environment with scarce magic power, especially when using so many at a time.
"Are you okay?" Gu Jingyun asked worriedly, then turned around and asked someone to call a doctor.
Immediately, the Heavenly Wolf Guards rushed over.
The young master is very thoughtful, so of course there will be medical practitioners among the Heavenly Wolf Guards he sends.
Jiang Yan waved his hands. He didn't have the strength to speak, but he looked in good spirits.
"It's just exhaustion. Just take a rest and it will be fine."
Gu Jingyun is not a fool.
He didn't understand what Jiang Yan had just done, but he knew why and for whom Jiang Yan had spent so much energy.
Jiang Yan wanted to support himself with Gu Jingyun's arm and slowly stand up.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of weightlessness.
Jiang Yan screamed: "Young Master?!"
"Isn't he my brother? Why do you call me Young Master?" Gu Jingyun said gently, "I'll take you to rest so that the doctor can take a look."
The young master put his powerful arm through Jiang Yan's legs, and with his other hand he put his arm around his back, lifting the Immortal King sideways.
Holding the person in his arms, he used Qinggong to rush to the front hall.
It's very steady, without any shaking at all.
In an instant, Jiang Yan's ears turned red.
The cold mask under the holy light shattered in an instant, like an immortal from the fairyland being dragged into the mortal world, or like an elf who was ignorant of the world and tasted the forbidden fruit of love.
Jiang Yan hesitated and did not struggle.
He slowly put his arms around the young master's neck and buried his red face in it.
Gu Jingyun couldn't see his face and thought he was feeling uncomfortable.
Between the ups and downs, my feet became more stable.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Gu Jingyun asked with a frown, feeling anxious.
The head buried in his chest shook.
The Immortal King said in a low voice, "Brother, I am just a little shy when you hug me like this."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Jiang Yan praised very straightforwardly: "It makes me feel very safe! You are indeed a reliable big brother!"
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
The mood is so complicated that it is hard to describe.
