Chapter 6 Chapter 6 "But I only want this one."...
The next day, at 3:30 am.
Jiang Yanlei got up early in the morning to practice swordplay without hesitation.
After practicing for about an incense stick of time, the rustling noise came from behind again.
Jiang Yan sighed and turned back and said, "Master Gu, I'm just practicing sword skills, what's so interesting about it?"
The man in black sat on the high wall, yawned, and spoke lazily, "You don't want me to watch you practice swordsmanship? Are you afraid of distraction or..."
"That's not the case." Jiang Yan looked around cautiously. Seeing no one, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll be seen climbing over the wall by others, and you'll be laughed at again."
It turned out that she was worried about him.
She looks so cute as she looks around.
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let them talk."
Seeing that Gu Jingyun really didn't care, Jiang Yan didn't say anything and continued practicing his sword.
Gu Jingyun did not disturb him again, nor did he leave. He just moved to the wider roof, moved a cushion and sat down, and quietly looked at Jiang Yan for a whole hour.
Jiang Yan felt a little uncomfortable at first, and lost his technique several times when swinging his sword.
Perhaps he was upset because yesterday's explosion failed to blow him home.
Or maybe it’s because Young Master Gu’s presence is too strong.
Being locked in Gu Jingyun's gaze was like when he was lost in the mountains as a child and encountered a pack of wolves. The leader of the wolf pack looked at him with green eyes that were full of aggression and wildness.
But Jiang Yan was not very panicked.
After all, Young Master Gu is not a wolf, so he won't want to eat him. As for why he wants to watch him practice swordsmanship... I don't understand, maybe he's just simply curious.
Jiang Yan was very calm. He tried hard to ignore Gu Jingyun's burning gaze and focused on practicing sword.
Brainwash yourself repeatedly: There is no one behind me, no one behind me, no one behind me.
This is effective.
When his clothes were soaked with sweat again, he put away his sword contentedly, and had completely forgotten about Gu Jingyun.
I turned around and was about to go back to the house when I was startled by the person sitting on the roof.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Jiang Yan asked in surprise.
Gu Jingyun sighed, "Your Majesty is really focused. I stayed behind you for almost an hour, but you didn't even look back. I'm afraid you've completely forgotten about me, right?"
Jiang Yan looked up at him, thought for a moment, and said honestly, "Actually, I still remember it at first. Later... later I brainwashed myself, saying that there was no one behind me, and slowly I really forgot it."
Gu Jingyun still had a smile on his face, and there was no anger or resentment in his eyes, but instead a hint of appreciation. He jumped off the roof and pushed Jiang Yan into the house.
"I've asked someone to prepare hot water for you. You're sweating all over, go wash up quickly, and don't catch a cold."
Jiang Yan was pushed and staggered. He walked around the screen and saw the bathtub. It was filled with spiritual spring water and was still emitting hot steam.
Qibao was putting his change of clothes on the screen. Gu Jingyun walked up quickly and frowned, "Why is it still this one?"
Qibao replied respectfully, "Didn't the young master say yesterday that the Immortal Lord would look good in moon-white clothes, and asked someone to send a large box over? I thought this robe would suit the Immortal Lord's skin tone very well."
Jiang Yan: "..." Hmm? There is also this matter? ?
Gu Jingyun said, "I also had other colors sent to me. The Immortal King is a person from the secular world, so he can't think of many things, but you are different. Qibao, you serve the Immortal King, so you naturally have to think more about him. Who wears the same color every day?"
Jiang Yan: “…………” But you wear black every day.
Qibao suddenly realized: "Young Master is right!"
Jiang Yan: “I think it’s okay——”
However, none of the other two people in the room listened to him.
"Go and get that green brocade robe embroidered with green bamboo, and then go to the warehouse and get a high-quality jade pendant as ornament." Gu Jingyun ordered lazily.
"Yes!" Qibao went there quickly.
Gu Jingyun then turned around and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"
Jiang Yan was about to speak but stopped, and sighed, "Master Gu, you don't have to be so nice to me."
"I am happy to do so." Gu Jingyun said as a matter of course, "Unless it really makes you unhappy, I won't change it. Are you unhappy choosing clothes for you?"
"No."
Jiang Yan didn't even care about wearing a sack, let alone the color of the clothes he was wearing or the pattern of the embroidery.
The only thing he cares about is...
"I'm afraid I can't pay you back." Jiang Yan said.
“…”
The corners of Young Master Gu's mouth twitched, and he looked like he wanted to ram his head into Jiang Yan's room and die.
Qibao was very efficient and came quickly with the clothes in his hands: "My Lord! The clothes are ready!"
They are all men, Jiang Yan doesn't think there is anything to avoid.
He was afraid that the water would get cold after being left there for too long, so he went behind the screen and began to take off his outer robe. The clothes rustled as he rubbed them against each other.
Gu Jingyun turned around, with his back to the screen, and said loudly, "I'm leaving first. Come back to see me after breakfast."
Jiang Yan responded.
The water in the tub was so full that it was almost overflowing. Jiang Yan stepped into the tub, and the sound of the water flowing seemed to linger in the quiet room.
Through a screen, Jiang Yan vaguely saw Young Master Gu walk out of the room quickly as if he was being chased by a wolf, and slam the door shut.
"...Young Master Gu, is there anything urgent?" Jiang Yan asked blankly.
Qibao was also confused and replied, "Maybe."
…
outside the house.
Gu Jingyun was too lazy to walk a long way, so he climbed over the wall again and returned to the main courtyard. As soon as he landed, he saw Manager Jia entering his courtyard and happened to see this scene.
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Manager Jia hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, I just heard that Jiang Xianjun asked for hot water and was taking a bath."
Gu Jingyun immediately said, "He was sweating during his morning exercise, and I'm afraid he might catch a cold."
Manager Jia did not relax: "You were not trying to peek at Jiang Xianjun bathing just now, were you?"
Gu Jingyun: “…No.”
Manager Jia asked quietly, "I heard from the servants that you climbed over the wall to peek at the Immortal Lord yesterday morning."
Gu Jingyun was in a state of great headache: "I went there openly and just to watch him practice swordplay!"
"Young Master, please keep your voice down! Is this a glorious thing?" Manager Jia advised, "A gentleman who loves beauty should seek it with courtesy."
Gu Jingyun took a deep breath, his face as gloomy as water.
Still can't explain it clearly?!
Gu Jingyun glanced coldly at Manager Jia, who shuddered and immediately fell silent, lowering his head.
"I instructed them last night not to spread it. I didn't expect that it would be the same as if I hadn't said anything." Gu Jingyun's eyes were calm.
Manager Jia fell to his knees with a thud.
"Young Master..."
Before he could even utter the words of begging for mercy, Gu Jingyun raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Jiang Xianjun and I are friends who treat each other with courtesy. I don't want to hear a single word of this kind of rumor that will ruin the Xianjun's reputation. If anyone in the mansion spreads rumors again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"I stay in the Sword Sect all year round and rarely go out. I haven't come here for several years. I guess some of you don't take my words seriously anymore."
Gu Jingyun spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic.
Manager Jia lowered his head and dared not even breathe.
"It just so happens that I am free now. Call everyone to Mengzhuxuan, I have something to say."
Gu Jingyun thought for a moment and then ordered:
"Forget about the seven treasures, so as not to alarm the Immortal Lord."
"...Yes, young master." Manager Jia shrank his neck and broke out in a cold sweat.
**
After Jiang Yan changed his clothes and finished his meal, he went to the next yard to find Gu Jingyun. He keenly felt that something was different.
Along the way, servants bowed their heads and saluted him respectfully.
It looked no different from the past, but Jiang Yan knew that the way those people looked at him had changed.
Jiang Yan couldn't clearly explain what the specific changes were, but if he had to describe it, he would probably say that he felt much more comfortable.
No longer treat him as a joke or gossip.
Jiang Yan stepped into the main courtyard and saw Gu Jingyun sitting under the shade of a tree, wiping his sword with a piece of soft cloth in his hand.
The sword is cold and sharp, it is an unparalleled sword.
Gu Jingyun raised his eyes and said with a smile: "You are here."
"Thank you." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun was slightly startled, then sighed: "I deliberately drove you away before scolding you, but I didn't expect you to find out."
"I've already told you that I'm a very thoughtful person." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun laughed: "Yes, yes, Jiang Xianjun is very thoughtful."
Jiang Yan pursed his lips, his eyes dark and bright, staring at Gu Jingyun without saying a word.
Gu Jingyun stood up from the stone chair and sheathed his sword. He felt weak at the sight of such a look, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the top of Jiang Yan's head and smooth his hair.
"Since I've asked you to treat this place as your own home, you must live comfortably here. And don't mention the rent again, otherwise you don't consider me a friend."
"many--"
"No thanks either."
"..." Jiang Yan was at a loss as to what to say.
Gu Jingyun put his arm around his shoulders and walked out with him confidently.
"The carriage is ready. Please accompany me shopping as a token of my gratitude."
Jiang Yan turned his wrist, and a few plump gold ingots and top-grade spirit stones appeared in his palm.
"I asked Qibao, and he said that the monks mainly trade with spirit stones, while mortals use gold, silver and copper coins. Take a look, are these of good quality? If not, I can still sell medicine."
Gu Jingyun glanced at it, then reached out and closed the Immortal Lord's open palm.
"It's of great quality, you can keep it."
Young Master Gu's hands were so big that they could completely wrap around Jiang Yan's palms. Jiang Yan struggled but failed to get free.
"I want to give it to you." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun said nonchalantly: "If I have to ask you to pay for shopping with me, then I am useless."
"But I want to give it to you." Jiang Yan continued.
Gu Jingyun stopped.
Jiang Yan shook his clenched hand, and Gu Jingyun slowly loosened his hand. Jiang Yan opened his hand again, and his fair palm had turned red from the edges of the spirit stone.
A gold ingot slipped from his palm and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Gu Jingyun's gaze was fixed on the red mark.
"Why don't you say it hurts?"
"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Yan shook his head and was about to bend down to pick it up, but Gu Jingyun had already taken a step forward and bent down to pick it up.
"Do you really want to give it to me?" Gu Jingyun asked with a smile.
Jiang Yan nodded and pursed his lips, indicating: "These are all for you. If it's not enough, I have more."
Gu Jingyun only took the piece he picked up from the ground. He pinched the golden little ingot between his fingers and looked at it left and right in the sunlight.
"I never thought gold ingots could be so cute." He sighed, holding it tightly with a smile.
Jiang Yan: "I still have a lot."
Gu Jingyun said gently: "But I only want this one."
Jiang Yan didn't know why his heartbeat quickened, and the annoyance of not being able to go home was also taken away by the gentle breeze blowing across his face.
He said "Oh" in a daze, thinking that he had made good friends in the other world, so he was happy.
