Chapter 256 The Martial World (Part 6)
To prevent her from getting too hot and sweaty and catching a cold, Tuntian thoughtfully summoned a large tiger for Nan Wan'er and let her sit on its back.
Gu Congxin: ...Your deliberate gentleness has ruined everything for me. Damn it, you two scoundrels.
The couple walked for three days through the mountains before finally finding a town. Then, Nan Wan'er, skipping and hopping, was abducted by a human trafficker.
"This isn't right." Nan Wan'er was held in the arms of a woman in her thirties, whose dark eyes looked somewhat eerie.
"What's wrong with me?" The woman, who had been in this line of work for so many years, had never encountered a young girl who had been abducted yet remained so calm. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"If you keep doing that, you'll easily get beaten up." Nan Wan'er raised her hand and patted the aunt's face, displaying a rather domineering aura.
The woman was stunned by the blow, and her face immediately turned ferocious. She raised her hand to throw the strange little hoof on the ground to teach it a lesson, but then she felt a whooshing sound coming from behind her head.
Clang.
A brick struck the woman precisely on the back of the head, causing her to fall to the ground. Nan Wan'er, whom she was holding, naturally slipped from her grasp.
Nan Wan'er immediately jumped to the side to avoid being hit by the falling aunt.
Then I sprained my ankle.
This body is so delicate; it can't move around or jump.
"Ouch, Tuntian, I twisted my ankle, it hurts so much!" Nan Wan'er cried pitifully, tears streaming down her face, as she sat on the ground.
With a pained expression, Tuntian ran a few steps and picked up the little girl he cherished most: "Let me see, your breast is swollen. I'll take you to see a doctor."
As he spoke, Tuntian conjured a piece of ice with one hand and placed it on Nan Wan'er's ankle. He then rested the little girl's face on his shoulder, picked her up, and carried her away.
Gu Congxin, who had been dragged along the way, was finally able to catch his breath, but not long after, he was dragged away again, and his legs were so badly injured that they felt like they were about to break.
Damn it, wasn't he the one who was most seriously injured? Why does this bastard only care about his wife and not even look at him?
Tuntian took Nan Wan'er to recuperate in the town.
Meanwhile, within the Phoenix Cry Sect, Gu Yanjing spent his days raising his children and watching his group of idiots fight amongst themselves; his life seemed quite comfortable.
Aside from having a little wolfhound by his side who's always eyeing his body, things seem pretty good.
Before he knew it, it was already past the fifth anniversary of his death. Gu Yanjing felt old, and this feeling became even more pronounced as he looked at the young man sitting beside him handling official business.
"Master, please take a look at this matter. Is my handling of it correct?" The young man, who looked increasingly like Lu Lingjun, handed over an official document with his approval on it.
Five years ago, his master appointed him as the young master of the Phoenix Cry Sect and has been personally instructing him ever since. Even the sect's general affairs have been entrusted to him.
His master had shown him immense kindness, and sometimes he felt lost, wondering how he could ever repay such a wonderful master.
Gu Yan glanced at the document in surprise. It stated that the pigs of two villagers at the foot of Fengmingmen Mountain were fighting each other. As a result, one pig died, while the other pig survived.
The family whose pig died is now insisting that their pig was killed by another family's pig and is demanding compensation.
The people below couldn't handle this, so it was passed up to them.
Su's intention was to have the family whose pig was still alive kill it, and that would settle the matter.
Gu Yanjing's eyes twitched slightly; this solution was brilliantly executed.
"Okay, sure." He closed the document without changing his expression.
"Master, why do you seem a little unwell today?" Su Youyi asked, noticing the weariness on Gu Yanjing's brow. "Is it because of the martial arts tournament these past few days?"
Mentioning this, Gu Yanjing's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He glanced at Su Youyi and slowly uttered a single word: "Get lost."
Ha, you still have the nerve to say that? Isn't this your own doing?
We both stay up all night, so why is this guy so energetic while I can't?
Am I really getting old?
Su Yiyou was scolded and left the study feeling wronged.
Gu Yanjing yawned and went back to her room to sleep.
Half-asleep, I suddenly felt someone beside me, pulling at my blanket.
Gu Yan sat up abruptly, wearing only a thin nightgown, the collar of which was open, revealing her delicate collarbone.
The sharp blade grazed Gu Yanjing's cheek, and the smell of blood immediately filled the air.
It's that crazy woman, Bai Mengxian.
"I killed you, I killed you, all because of you. These past few days have been so painful for me." Bai Mengxian gripped the dagger in her hand, looked at the bloodstains on Gu Yanjing's face, and suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
The woman who was like a young girl five years ago is now only in her fifties, but she has aged rapidly and looks like a middle-aged woman. She doesn't look like Gu Yanjing's wife, but rather like his elder.
Bai Mengxian's face was fierce as she stabbed Gu Yanjing with the dagger in her hand.
She waited five days for this opportunity; she could finally kill this man.
Gu Yanjing wasn't stupid. He quickly stepped back and kicked Bai Mengxian to the ground, causing a huge commotion.
There were few people in the courtyard at the moment; most were busy with the arrangements for the upcoming martial arts tournament.
Only Su Yi brought a basket of grapes to apologize to his master. Although he didn't know what he had done to anger his master, he still wanted to appease him.
However, Su Yiyou heard the voice from inside the room, and her expression changed instantly. She rushed to the door and kicked it open.
Gu Yanjing inside seemed fine, except for a small cut on his cheek. If Su Youyi had arrived any later, the cut would have healed on its own.
On the contrary, Bai Mengxian was kicked away by Gu Yanjing, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground unable to get up.
"Master, Master, are you alright?" Su Youyi panicked and rushed straight to Gu Yanjing without even glancing at Bai Mengxian.
"Mother, how are you? Mother, who hurt you?"
Feng Lanzhi followed Su Youyi in and immediately rushed over to pick up Bai Mengxian, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood.
"Master, why is your face bleeding? Let me see, is it in pain?" Su Youyi pressed down on Gu Yanjing's arm and carefully examined him.
Qing* had only one cut on her face, but her clothes were thin, and the dark purple marks on her skin could be seen through the slightly open collar.
Su Youyi's eyes narrowed as she stared intently at the bruises on Qing's chest from the kisses, and she gripped Gu Yanjing's hand tightly without haste.
"Let go, it hurts." Gu Yanjing shook off Qing's grasp, his face not looking too good.
If he didn't know what kind of person Lu Lingjun was, he would almost have thought that Su Youyi was genuinely worried about him.
Su Yiyou stumbled from the push, taking a couple of steps back. As she looked down, she noticed a faint handprint visible on Gu Yanjing's waist.
It's huge; that's not something a woman could do, it's something a man could do.
It's about being moved, suppressing the other person's reckless behavior, and creating something out of nothing.
Su Yiyou didn't know what she was thinking; her mind was a mess. She casually pulled off the outer robe next to her and wrapped it around Gu Yanjing.
"Master, be careful not to catch a cold." Su Youyi's voice was a little hoarse. Although he looked like a young man, his eyes held an unfathomable desire.
She was shocked by Gu Yan's appearance.
So this is what he really thought of his master?
He wanted to hug his master, kiss his master, leave the same mark on his master's body, and look at his master...
He is guilty, he shouldn't have done it, he actually harbored covetous thoughts towards his master, this is **.
"Did you hurt my mother? Even if the sect leader doesn't like my mother or me anymore, he shouldn't have hurt her. My mother was, after all, the sect leader's wife of the Phoenix Cry Sect. Does the sect leader really have no regard for past affections?"
The male lead picked up Bai Mengxian, and for some reason, the way he looked at her changed. When he turned back to look at Gu Yanjing, his gaze immediately turned to hatred.
He hated his father. He was clearly a chosen one, but because he fell and was in a coma for a month, his father abandoned him, and even his mother.
He also gave the position of young master to Su Youyi.
He hated it so much.
"Old ties? What old ties do I have with you?" Gu Yanjing asked, bewildered, as he wrapped his clothes around himself.
These clothes are preventing him from showing off.
"Don't beg him, Lan'er. He's a heartless man. There's no need to beg him. Let's go, let's go." Bai Mengxian met Gu Yanjing's cold eyes, knew she was in the wrong, and pulled Feng Lanzhi's hand to leave.
She couldn't let Gu Yanjing reveal Lan'er's true identity.
"Mother, he wronged us. Why should we leave? I want justice for you." Feng Lanzhi picked up Bai Mengxian, still unwilling to leave.
He wanted to ask why Gu Yanjing, with so many people around, had left them unattended in the Wenzhi Hall.
They let them get away with it, even bullying the servants.
If it weren't for his master teaching him martial arts and helping him and his mother, they would probably have been bullied to death.
"Justice? You'll have to ask your mother for that. Ask her what she did as a prostitute, and what she did today. Look, she came in with a knife and injured me."
Gu Yanjing sneered, wiping the blood from his cheek, looking both handsome and dashing.
Su Yiyou looked at Qing* standing beside him, and the desire in his heart grew wildly. He wished he could hold his master in his arms and never let anyone else see him again.
Even worse, they could drive away the person who left a mark on their master and take their place.
"Lan'er, go, go quickly, don't ask anything, don't say anything." Bai Mengxian hugged Feng Lanzhi's neck, tears welling up in her eyes, pleading with her son.
"Okay, Mother, let's go, I'll take you away." Feng Lanzhi was at a loss because Bai Mengxian was crying, so he picked her up and left quickly.
Su Yiyou watched the two figures leave, then turned around to find Gu Yanjing beside her.
"Master, let me apply the medicine for you." Su Youyi looked at Gu Yanjing's handsome face.
He wanted to lock his master up.
"No need, the wound has healed. Why do you need to apply medicine?"
"Then this disciple will help Master wash up. Master, please sit down first, this disciple will go fetch water." Su Youyi's eyes were glued to Gu Yanjing, and he refused to look away.
I want to touch Master's collarbone. His skin is as smooth as ice and his bones as jade. That's probably what they mean by Master.
"Everyone in the courtyard is dead, and you're the one serving them?" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He knows exactly what's going on in that dog's head.
"The servants in the courtyard have all been sent away by Master's wife, so I'm afraid Master will have to be served by his disciple. Besides, isn't it only natural for a disciple to serve Master?"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Su Yiyou spoke the word "serve" with great nuance and complexity.
Gu Yanjing said coldly, "She doesn't even deserve to be called 'Master's Wife' by you?"
Su Yiyou lowered his head: "Master is right. Bai Mengxian is indeed not worthy of Master." Only he is worthy of Master.
No one else can.
Gu Yanjing watched as the person went out to fetch water, then remembered that the bastard would be back soon, so he closed the door and changed his clothes.
The room was a bit messy, and Gu Yanjing couldn't find her usual clothes, only a set of black clothes.
Su Yiyou returned and, looking at the black-clad man sitting upright in the chair, couldn't help but swallow.
The master was dressed in all black, which made him look even whiter, so white that one would want to take a bite out of him.
"Master, please wash your hands first." Su Yiyou stiffly concealed her strangeness, took a few steps forward, and carefully wiped the bloodstains from Gu Yanjing's face.
The bright red bloodstains congealed into a line, like a blush of rosy clouds, making it even more alluring.
Su Yiyou felt a burning sensation at the tip of her nose, abruptly covered it, and ran away in a disheveled state, not daring to say goodbye to Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing sneered as he touched the red mark on his face.
Ha, you little rascal, you're still thinking about him after all.
Three days later, at the martial arts tournament, Gu Yanjing rested for a while and finally saw Su Youyi, who had been hiding from him for several days.
"Master, Master looks so handsome today." Su Youyi looked at Gu Yanjing in front of her and almost couldn't help but pounce on him.
He's as handsome as my master in my dreams.
It's mouthwatering.
"Nonsense, what man would compliment someone's appearance?" Gu Yan frowned in surprise.
"But Master is just so handsome. Everyone says that Bai Mengxian is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, but in my eyes, Master is much more handsome than Bai Mengxian."
Su shook her head, disagreeing with Gu Yanjing's words.
Master is so handsome, whether he's standing in front of me or lying beneath me.
He has been having dreams for the past three days, in which he seems to have many, many memories with his master.
They seem to have gotten married.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, may I disturb you for a moment?" Suddenly, Tuntian pushed open the window next to him and poked his head out.
They were being extremely cautious, as if they were afraid of being cremated by these two big shots.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Yan frowned, looked at Tuntian, and then looked inside. Sure enough, Nan Wan'er was squatting on the ground, holding a dirty little bird in her hand.
"Master, who are they?" Su Yiyou instinctively pulled Gu Yanjing behind her to protect her, and looked warily at the two people inside.
"Who it is is none of your business. You may leave now. I have matters to attend to. Go and deal with the guests ahead." Gu Yanjing pushed Su Youyi aside, thought for a moment, and then sent her away.
Su Yiyou gave the two people inside a deep look before leaving, a sight that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Tuntian and Nan Wan'er swallowed hard in unison, sensing that this was a serious problem.
