Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Full of surging affection, I have already pressed...
The flying boat is ready outside the city.
Before leaving, Gu Jingyun tied Jiang Yan's hair in the house and asked:
"Did you keep the jade talisman from last night?"
Jiang Yan took it out from his arms: "Here."
"Yeah." Gu Jingyun nodded.
When Jiang Yan walked out of the house, he found a group of people standing in the courtyard with their heads lowered and their hands hanging down.
"......?" Jiang Yan was at a loss, wondering what he was doing standing here.
Gu Jingyun pushed Jiang Yan to the front, facing his subordinates, and said calmly: "I have handed the jade talisman to the Immortal Lord. From now on, you should obey the Immortal Lord's orders in Xizhou. All matters can be decided by the Immortal Lord, and he has the final say."
"Just one thing, the Immortal Lord comes first in everything, and you can't neglect it."
"Yes! I will follow the young master's orders."
Everyone in the courtyard knelt on one knee and responded respectfully. Then they turned around and shouted, "Greetings, Immortal Lord!"
"!!"
Jiang Yan's scalp went numb for a moment and he wanted to slip away.
Gu Jingyun said: "The Immortal Lord is afraid of the society, stop staring at him, and disperse."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Don’t say it out loud, it would be so embarrassing for him!
The group of people showed no signs of change, bowed respectfully, and retreated quietly. They also deliberately lowered their heads to reduce their presence, so as not to accidentally meet the Immortal Lord's eyes and make him suffer from "human phobia" symptoms.
Very well trained.
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Jiang Yan wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "It's rare to see you get humiliated."
Jiang Yan: "Just leave now."
Gu Jingyun didn't seem sad at all even though he was disliked. Instead, his smile became brighter.
Jiang Yan followed Gu Jingyun out of the city and went to where the flying boat was docked.
When I came, I was alone; when I left, I was a group of people.
The young master's ceremony was quite grand.
Jiang Yan sighed secretly and sent Gu Jingyun onto the flying boat.
Gu Jingyun held Jiang Yan's wrist and instructed carefully:
"I gave them to you to ensure that you live comfortably. That's what I said just now, but I have privately instructed you not to worry about trivial matters. The most important thing is to practice."
Gu Jingyun said softly: "Ayan's heart of Taoism is pure. If he is tainted by worldly spirits because of my actions today and is delayed from ascending to immortality, I am afraid I will be blamed for it."
The young master's voice was extremely soft, yet it seemed to contain countless emotions, like a seasoned traveler describing the hardships he had experienced in the most understated tone.
Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard.
——The former Pavilion Master of Tianji Sect once said to the Sword Sect's Young Master: "You have natural immortal bones, but unfortunately you have been tainted by too much worldly air. Your mind is not at peace, and your cultivation may not progress."
The young master has made no progress in his cultivation in a hundred years.
Isn't it also a reflection of the Tianji Sect's fortune-telling?
Gu Jingyun was worried about him. He was afraid that his act of handing over the jade talisman would cause Jiang Xianjun, who was like an immortal from outer space and had no desires, to be contaminated by the mundane world and be detrimental to his cultivation.
Seeing that Gu Jingyun was about to give more instructions, Jiang Yan suddenly spoke up and interrupted the young master.
"Young Master, I heard that the Tianji Sect once predicted your fate, saying that you were stagnant in your cultivation because you were contaminated by too much worldly energy. Is that true or not?"
Who doesn’t know that this is one of the concerns of the Sword Sect’s young master?
The faces of the Heavenly Wolf Guards standing around changed drastically. Ji Ziheng didn't care about anything else and stepped forward to stop the Immortal King from asking more questions.
Song Hua quickly reached out and grabbed him back, then sent a voice message to the letter, shouting, "Don't be impatient!"
Ji Ziheng was forced to stop, veins on his forehead throbbed and his fists clenched tightly.
He clenched his teeth and remained in a stalemate with Song Hua for a few seconds, but finally chose to trust his colleague and relaxed his muscles.
"Just wait and see, the Immortal King is not that kind of person!" Song Hua said.
"..." Ji Ziheng remained silent.
The other end.
Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it is true."
He laughed at himself: "I never thought that it would reach your ears."
This shows how widespread the rumors are and how prevalent the gossip is.
The young master is not afraid of rumors, but after a hundred years, his cultivation is indeed stuck at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage, and many people who were not as good as him before have now caught up.
He had to re-examine the divination, and when he looked back, he realized that he had spent too much time and energy on the mortal world besides practicing - this was also unavoidable. If there was no Yuyuan and no Tianlang Guard, who would help him search for the best medicine in the world to save his parents?
But Jiang Yan doesn't have to do this.
Gu Jingyun gently stroked the immortal's hair: "I will tell them not to let anything disturb them--"
Jiang Yan slapped his hand away.
Gu Jingyun was stunned.
"I didn't expect that the young master, who is fearless, would be afraid of a small fortune-teller."
Jiang Yan's voice was cold and contained an inexplicable annoyance.
"..."Gu Jingyun's brows slightly frowned.
Jiang Yan said coldly: "The jade talisman is already in my hand. Do you want to take back what you have given away?"
"I'm not--" Gu Jingyun wanted to explain.
Jiang Yan refused to listen and just said, "If that's not the case, don't say things like 'I'm afraid of delaying you' again."
A glimmer of light.
A small and cute clay figurine appeared in Jiang Yan's palm.
The clay figurine's facial features are very delicate, and it is 80% similar to Jiang Xianjun. It is vivid and very likable.
Jiang Yan stuffed the clay figure into Gu Jingyun's palm.
"I'll borrow your flowers to offer to the Buddha, and I'll exchange the clay figurine for your jade talisman."
Gu Jingyun burst out laughing.
He was the one who gave the clay figurine as a gift, so why did he return it to me?
Jiang Yan said calmly: "Don't worry about it, just tell me whether you want it or not!"
"Yes." Gu Jingyun put it away in an instant without even hesitation.
Jiang Yan looked into Gu Jingyun's eyes and said with unprecedented solemnity and seriousness:
"Jing Yun, you always say that I am an immortal in heaven who is not stained by the dust of the world. But I want to tell you that from the day I met you, the immortal has already fallen into the mortal world."
The young master's eyes seemed to be shaken, and his lips trembled slightly.
Jiang Yan said: "The so-called fortune-telling, if you believe it, it is your fate. If you don't believe it, it is just words written on a piece of paper. You can tear it up with your hands, burn it with fire, pour water on it... There are thousands of ways to make this fortune disappear from your world completely!"
Jiang Yan stepped forward and held Gu Jingyun's hand tightly.
"This clay figurine was bought in the secular world, and it has my face carved on it. On the back of the jade talisman, the zither is you, and the sword is me."
"Now, you hold the clay figurine, and I hold the jade talisman. According to those supernatural words, our fates begin to intertwine, and I am also tainted by the worldly air, and I am no longer an immortal!"
The young master's hands were shaking slightly, but his palms were warm as usual. Jiang Yan held him tightly, insisting on looking him in the eye, not letting the young master escape at all.
Jiang Yan said seriously:
"I never believe in fate, I only believe in myself."
"If you're afraid, I'll tear it off for you!"
Gu Jingyun's mind was greatly shaken. Never before had he wanted to hug Jiang Yan so madly.
He thought so and naturally did so.
Jiang Yan was embraced by the young master, and after staggering two steps, he was hugged tightly.
A large hand stroked his back, and the other arm circled his waist, making Jiang Yan unable to move.
The young master's head was buried in his neck, and the breath he exhaled was so hot that one could not help but wonder if his neck and collarbone would be burned.
"Ayan..." he murmured, his voice low and hoarse, like a volcano that was suppressed and unable to erupt.
Jiang Yan was horrified.
He looked around and tried to signal with his eyes. The Sirius Guards who received his gaze nodded in understanding, took countless steps back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ji Ziheng's expression was complicated, but there was more respect in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yan.
Song Hua smiled mischievously and gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up.
Ji Ziheng nodded to the Immortal Lord, grabbed Song Hua by the back of the collar and disappeared. He also drove his subordinates further away and took the initiative to help the Immortal Lord and the Young Master clear the area.
It seemed as if these two people would do something in the next second.
Jiang Yan: “.”
These subordinates look at me weirdly, so forget it.
He patted Gu Jingyun on the back and said generously: "I drove all my subordinates away. You can cry if you want."
Gu Jingyun: “???”
He was indeed holding back something.
But I just want to kiss, not cry.
Ah...if you kiss someone until they cry...
Stop!
Gu Jingyun stopped thinking urgently and sighed deeply: "I don't want to cry."
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "Then why are you hugging me so tightly? Let go quickly, your breath is so hot, my neck must be red."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
The young master let the person go quickly, his expression extremely complicated.
"…Actually, you don't have to be so straightforward."
Jiang Yan commented: "Sometimes you want me to be straightforward, and sometimes you want me to be tactful... You humans are so fickle."
Ever since the young master found out about Feiren's identity, Jiang Yan no longer hid anything and spoke directly about everything.
Jiang Yan shook his hand that was being held tightly.
"Since everything is fine, you can just let go."
If you don’t want to hug each other, why are you still holding hands?
Gu Jingyun refused to let go.
This moment was not the most romantic one, but Gu Jingyun was filled with surging affection and could no longer hold back.
Since I have to be entangled with his fate, I might as well fall into the deeper world of mortals together.
The young master straightened his expression and said, "Ayan, I have something to say."
Jiang Yan: "Well, go ahead."
Gu Jingyun said affectionately: "I am pleased with you."
Jiang Yan said "Oh" calmly and replied with a smile: "Yeah, I like you too."
Without any hesitation.
Gu Jingyun suddenly felt like he was floating in the clouds. The joy came too quickly and it seemed unreal.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Yan hugged Gu Jingyun back—using the way a good brother would hug him, and patted his back.
"We are best friends!" Jiang Yan said proudly.
After the words fell, the young master did not respond for a long time.
Jiang Yan put his arm around the young master's shoulder in confusion and leaned over to look.
I was instantly terrified.
"Jingyun! What's wrong with you, Jingyun!" Jiang Yan said in panic, "Why are your eyes numb, your face pale and weak, and you seem to have lost all your color?!"
Gu Jingyun: “.”
Why does the rabbit spirit have a wooden head?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand!
**
Jiang Yan called everyone back and sent Gu Jingyun onto the flying boat.
He withdrew his gaze only after the flying boat engraved with the Yuyuan Chamber of Commerce emblem sailed away.
Ji Ziheng followed Gu Jingyun away, but Song Hua stayed in Xizhou and is now standing behind Jiang Yan.
His attitude was less casual than usual, and his words and actions were more respectful.
"My Lord, shall we send someone to escort you back to the Hehuan Sect?"
Jiang Yan waved his hand: "No need to mobilize a large force, I can go back by myself."
Song Hua smiled and said, "Zhuifeng and Zhuyue are both in the stables, which one do you want to ride?"
Jiang Yan was shocked: "Didn't Jingyun take Zhuifeng with him?"
"They said they all like you, so I'll leave them for you to raise." Song Hua said, "Besides, if you're here, the young master will definitely come to see you again someday. It would be inconvenient if I take Zhuifeng away."
"All right."
Jiang Yan thought about it and it made sense.
The Sword Sect must be accustomed to flying with a sword, and Zhuifeng following the young master would be useless.
I'll build a stable near the backyard to raise Zhuifeng and Zhuyue.
Although he had to return to the sect alone, Jiang Yan now had two horses with him. He still found a personal guard to help him ride Zhui Feng Zhu Yue back to the Hehuan Sect.
Song Hua said that he could not return to Hehuan Sect for the time being. He wanted to stay in Yuyuan Inn and discuss the daily food ingredients for the Hehuan Sect canteen with Manager Zhang.
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "I thought Zuixianlou was responsible for it."
"The chef is from Zuixianlou, but the ingredients are our own."
Song Hua said as a matter of course, "Things outside are not as good as those at home, let alone things that are to be given to the Immortal Lord, so we naturally have to ensure that they are safe and sound."
"...I'm not a royal aristocrat, so no one should be so idle as to poison and assassinate me." Jiang Yan hesitated to speak.
He is just an ordinary monk!
Song Hua said sternly, "No. Immortal Lord, you don't know that no matter if it's a low-level bandit or a villain who intends to murder and retaliate, the most common method is poisoning."
"In the past, there have been cases where cultivators who accepted demon seeds and betrayed the human race poisoned their fellow disciples' wine. It's better to be careful just in case."
"These are all arranged by the young master." Song Hua added.
Jiang Yan couldn't find a reason to refuse. He still understood the principle of "better safe than sorry".
"In that case, just follow the young master's instructions, but don't be too extravagant. I'm not used to it." Jiang Yan said.
"Yes." Song Hua agreed.
The guards led the horses out.
As soon as Zhuifeng and Zhuyue saw Jiang Yan, they leaned forward to ask for his touch. Zhuifeng, in particular, was so impatient.
——The other master is gone! Why don't you take a break, Zhuyue? It's my turn now!
A smile appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes.
He coaxed Zhuyue into submission, then turned around and took the reins from Zhuifeng.
Song Hua and Shopkeeper Zhang stood solemnly with their hands down, waiting to see the Immortal Lord off to the sect.
Jiang Yan did not take action immediately.
"Although Jing Yun has instructed you, I have taken over the jade talisman and said those words myself, so I must take responsibility."
Jiang Yan said: "From now on, no matter how big or small the matter is, as long as you think you need me to make a decision, you can come to me. I will talk to Jing Yun myself."
The two of them responded respectfully: "Yes, Immortal Lord."
Jiang Yan climbed onto his horse and scratched his face in embarrassment: "Actually... I'm not necessarily good at it. I just got carried away and said something that seemed cool."
"If I do something wrong or give a wrong order, please tell me in time." Jiang Yan said in a low voice.
Song Hua and Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't hide their smiles on their faces.
"Yes, I will follow the order of the Immortal Lord."
