Chapter 35 Ah Que throws a tantrum; the person hiding in the shadows
The leader in mid-air first looked at the people who had come to Liwen Palace. He froze on the spot the moment he saw them. It was actually this Immortal Venerable who was leading the team.
His expression immediately became respectful, and he smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "So it is the arrival of the Immortal Venerable Lan Yue. The Shannan Sect is truly honored by your presence, haha."
"Oh, you're too kind. This gentleman..." Jiang Yuemian couldn't recall his name for a moment.
"My surname is Liu." Elder Liu didn't feel offended at all. The Immortal Venerable was too busy with his affairs of state to remember such a nobody as him.
"Ha, Elder Liu."
Jiang Yuemian feigned politeness towards Elder Liu, making it seem to anyone who didn't know them think they were old friends.
Nangong Sheng whispered from behind, "Hey! Don't you guys think... it's kind of funny how Uncle-Master is acting like this?"
Nangong Chen frowned: "You must not be rude to your martial uncle."
Song Shanshan: "Shishu has her reasons for doing this, what do you know?" Her gaze continued to follow Jiang Yuemian, waaaaah, as expected of her idol, that demeanor, that aura, it's just too...!
Shen Que noticed Song Shanshan's gaze and frowned.
After feeling rebuffed, Nangong Sheng nudged his cousin with his elbow: "What about you?"
Nangong rolled her eyes silently and ignored him.
Nangong Sheng: Ha, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you guys are all just praising your senior uncle?
While everyone was making their own little moves, Jiang Yuemian was already chatting away with Elder Liu. The two of them looked like they had known each other for ages. Then, Jiang Yuemian finally took a moment out of her busy schedule to mention them. Elder Liu suddenly realized what was going on and, as if he had just remembered them, quickly made room for Jiang Yuemian and the others to enter the sect.
"......"
This time, Elder Liu did not accompany them. He had to welcome other people, so he sent his eldest disciple, Que Qing, to take them to their lodgings.
Before long, a quiet little courtyard came into view.
Que Qing: "Immortal Venerable, Master instructed that you prefer a quiet environment, so he chose this place for Li Wen Palace."
Jiang Yuemian: "Alright, please thank me for me, Junior Nephew Queqing."
Que Qing should be right, and then withdrew.
After everyone left, Jiang Yuemian said, "Come on, let's see which one you want to choose."
Nangong Chen: "Uncle, please choose first. Before leaving, Master told me to take good care of you." Naturally, Uncle should be the first priority.
"......" How unreliable does her senior brother think she is?
Jiang Yuemian looked at the crowd again, and they all felt the same way.
Jiang Yuemian had no choice but to point to a room randomly.
Then it was their turn to choose.
Song Shanshan was a big fan of Jiang Yuemian, and she enthusiastically chose the room to the left of Jiang Yuemian.
Hehe, now I can finally sit next to the Immortal Venerable!
Shen Que chose the room to the right of Jiang Yuemian, as he also wanted to be next to his master.
The rest, the three Nangong siblings, stood close together.
......
As night fell, Jiang Yuemian quietly slipped into Shen Que's room. As soon as she entered, she found Shen Que sitting on the edge of the bed, as if he knew she was coming.
"......"
She rushed over and hugged him tightly, calling out, "Ah Que!"
Shen Que blushed as well. This time, Jiang Yuemian didn't move around. The two slept until dawn. As soon as it was light, Jiang Yuemian secretly slipped back to her room.
No one noticed.
Around noon, Jiang Yuemian suggested to them that they go out for a walk. People from other sects would be arriving one after another in the next two days. They were always cooped up in their sects, so it would be a good opportunity for them to go out and make some friends.
The group decided to have a hearty meal in the bustling city center of Tianguang City first.
The group found the largest restaurant and swaggered inside, ordering the waiter to bring out a table full of delicious dishes and starting to eat.
However, while we were eating, we overheard some gossip.
"Senior Brother Huang, have you heard about what happened at the Shannan Sect recently?" a shifty-eyed man at the next table asked.
"How could I not have heard of it? Oh dear, it's so embarrassing."
"Absolutely! The son of the Shannan Sect leader has actually fallen for his master! This is utterly shameless!"
Chen Que's movements stopped.
Jiang Yuemian frowned.
The others also slowed down to listen to the gossip.
"Indeed, thankfully the Venerable One only expelled him from the sect, but this young master still shamelessly insisted that he could marry into the family!"
"Haha! How ridiculous!"
Shen Que's face paled.
They are still continuing.
"Sigh! I also heard that the sect leader of Danyang Sect likes his junior sister, but she has no interest in him at all."
Jiang Yuemian raised an eyebrow: Big news!
"Yes, yes, and also, the young master of the Gong family actually likes..."
"Bang--"
Before he could finish speaking, a flying bowl hit him on the head, making him cry out in pain. Enraged, he stood up and looked around: "Who? Who hit me? How dare they do it and not admit it?!"
"Oh, it's me, your young master."
Senior Brother Huang turned his head and saw a boy wearing a purple robe with his hair tied in a high ponytail sitting at a nearby table, still holding the bowl that had been thrown out.
"Hmph! You? You dare hit me? I'll make you regret it!" He made a move to attack.
The young man in purple slowly stood up, and his face was finally revealed to the public.
The boy had a round face, round eyes, and red lips. He looked somewhat immature, but his arrogant demeanor reminded Jiang Yuemian of the cat she kept in the Liwen Palace.
This appearance caused Senior Brother Huang's expression to change instantly. He stopped what he was doing, his face turning pale: "Young Master Gong... Young Master Gong."
Jiang Yuemian suddenly realized that she had danced right in front of the person in question. But her surname was Gong? She pondered this.
Gong Ziyu raised her face arrogantly: "You dare to speak ill of me? You've got some nerve."
"Ouch! I won't dare to do it again next time, please forgive me this time, Young Master Gong!"
By the time Jiang Yuemian came to her senses again, the two had already resolved the matter. Senior Brother Huang and his companion had left looking as if they had lost their parents, and she had no idea what Young Master Gong had done.
After he finished his work, he turned to Jiang Yuemian and the others, his face showing unease: "You're not allowed to tell anyone! Otherwise... hmph!"
Jiang Yuemian: "Oh? What did you say?"
Shen Que pursed his lips; his master was attracting unwanted attention again.
The others could only look helplessly at Jiang Yuemian.
Gong Ziyu's face turned red.
Jiang Yuemian: "Let's say something nice and not tell anyone else."
Gong Ziyu's ears turned red: "Auntie."
? ? ?
aunt?
Jiang Yuemian was greatly alarmed.
Chen Que bit her lip.
Nangong Chen put down his chopsticks.
Song Shanshan's eyes gleamed with golden light.
Nangong Momo and Nangong Sheng were incredulous.
Gong Ziyu continued, "I saw your portrait in my aunt's room. My aunt is Gong Youning. If you tell anyone, I'll tell her you bullied me!!!" After saying that, he turned and left.
The gossiping crowd: "..." Oh, this is boring.
Jiang Yuemian: "..." She was terrified. It turned out he really was her senior sister's nephew.
She often talked about her senior sister's nephew, saying that he had reached the Golden Core stage at the age of fifteen, was exceptionally talented, and was the first person in the Gong family in a hundred years. She never expected that he would have such a... childlike personality.
Shen Que still looked listless.
After finishing their meal, the group went to the martial arts arena in the city. At a glance, the disciples' uniforms were all different from the others. Jiang Yuemian couldn't help but sigh that they had come to the right place, as it would be a good opportunity for Aque to get to know his other junior disciples.
Jiang Yuemian was an expert at eating, drinking, and having fun, and she was the first to push through the crowd and place her bet.
Nangong Chen wanted to dissuade him, but his master had told him to keep an eye on his uncle.
Jiang Yuemian gave him a single look and he said no more. He thought, "Fine, just this once."
When Jiang Yuemian returned from placing her bets, she secretly tugged at Shen Que's hand and, satisfied that no one was watching, scratched Shen Que's palm until Shen Que awkwardly looked away.
Jiang Yuemian: Hehe.
001 had been silent for two days. It didn't want to see the two of them being all lovey-dovey. Seeing Jiang Yuemian so engrossed in love, it simply shut out its senses and hid in its space to avoid being bothered.
The battle in the training ground was extremely intense. Jiang Yuemian watched intently, so excited that she was almost dancing with joy.
Shen Que was also watching, but he was watching her.
until--
One person knocked another down, and the other could not get up.
After the silence came the revelry.
"Aaaaaaah! I won! I won!!"
Jiang Yuemian happily hugged Shen Que, who was at a loss for what to do. It wasn't until Jiang Yuemian realized that something was wrong that she remembered that it wasn't just the two of them, so she quickly let go and pretended that nothing had happened.
Shen Que also turned away.
But Nangong Sheng, that gossip, still had to say, "Oh, Uncle-Master and Junior Brother Shen have a very good relationship." Neither he nor his master are like that, how jealous!
Song Shanshan clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Damn it, she really wanted her idol to hug her too.
"Oh, I'll send a message to my second senior brother right away, saying that his little disciple wants him to hold her." Jiang Yuemian immediately reached for her storage bag.
"No, no, no! Martial Uncle, I was wrong!" Please, no!
Jiang Yuemian withdrew her hand.
The others were also amused.
By the time Jiang Yuemian received her spirit stones, it was already getting dark. She felt a little regretful, as it seemed she hadn't been able to introduce her junior disciples and Aque to the fellow Daoist.
Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, we'll meet at the competition in a few days anyway, hehe.
Everyone turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, it's not appropriate to just walk away after winning."
Everyone turned around and saw a masked man standing behind them. The people around them immediately stepped back, forming a large circle around them.
The man spoke arrogantly, sounding as if he was unhappy that she had won the spirit stones.
Jiang Yuemian's good mood was instantly ruined, and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"oh?"
An immense pressure swept over him instantly, and the man's body stiffened instantly, rendering him speechless.
Nangong Sheng: Ha! Martial Uncle has unleashed a powerful move!
Shen Que moved closer to Jiang Yuemian.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Wait!"
Following the sound were hurried footsteps. A middle-aged man, sweating profusely, ran over, barely daring to catch his breath.
"Immortal Venerable, please have mercy. He is a newcomer who is ignorant and has disturbed you. I will teach him a lesson right away."
As he spoke, he kicked the masked man, forcing him to kneel on the ground, and then grinned shamelessly at Jiang Yuemian.
Jiang Yuemian: "..." No need for that.
"Alright, let's leave it at that." The men below were just following orders; who knows, it might have been this smiling tiger who gave the orders.
"Hey! Thank you for your magnanimity, Immortal Venerable. Why don't you quickly thank the immortal?" He still had a fierce look on his face as he looked at the masked man, but his body had already relaxed.
Jiang Yuemian didn't want to watch the charade anymore, so she turned and led them away.
After Jiang Yuemian and the others left, the middle-aged man knelt down before the masked man in a state of fear and trepidation: "Your Excellency."
The masked man straightened up, ignored him, and simply patted the dirt off his body.
She murmured, "She seems to have gotten weaker..."
...
As night fell, Jiang Yuemian secretly sneaked into Shen Que's room again, but this time Shen Que was not sitting on the bed; he had already fallen asleep.
Jiang Yuemian was a little disappointed, but she was fine in an instant. Her eyes lit up, and she "whooshed" into Chen Que's bed. She hugged him first, inhaled his scent, and then, feeling satisfied, began to move her hands.
She felt Shen Que's body stiffen instantly, so her eyes brightened until Shen Que couldn't help but grab Jiang Yuemian's hand, which was still causing trouble.
He sighed, "Master..."
"Hehe, I knew Ah Que wasn't asleep."
"Hmm." Shen Que turned his head away, refusing to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
"Why did Master provoke Young Master Gong today?" His voice was sour, yet strangely stubborn.
Huh? Provoking? Is Ah Que jealous?
She instantly realized the seriousness of the matter, so she said solemnly, "Ah Que, I promise I will never chat with people indiscriminately again!" Ah Que was the only one in her heart, and she didn't want him to feel wronged.
It seems I need to remember this incident. Luckily, Ah Que took the initiative to tell her, otherwise he wouldn't have known that Ah Que was upset.
Shen Que felt a little awkward. With his master looking so serious, he didn't know what to say and increasingly felt that he was being unreasonable.
"Ah-que~ Okay, Ah-que~ If you're not angry anymore, let me kiss you?"
Shen Que remained silent.
Jiang Yuemian silently reached out, and as their lips met, Chen Que embraced her and offered himself to her.
Jiang Yuemian was incredibly excited. This was the first time Aque had ever been so proactive. However, Aque was a little jealous today, so she didn't dare to make any rash moves. Thus, the two of them kissed lightly and slowly, until they were both too hot to sleep.
Until Shen Que, panting, took the initiative to speak: "Master, kiss me deeper."
He wanted to give his master more.
