Chapter 114 The Eldest Disciple of the Hehuan Sect VS. Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 31 (Extra Chapter)
One day after the wedding.
"I want to go down the mountain and travel!" Jiang Zhiyi had had enough of the dull and boring life in Lingzhong Palace.
During the day, she just eats, drinks, and plays. But at night, Xu Wenye would lecture her, saying that cultivators cannot slack off and cannot give up their cultivation, and then he would drag her to cultivate.
She cried uncontrollably many times. She no longer wanted so much cultivation, but Xu Wenye completely ignored her. He was so hateful!
“I’ll come down the mountain with you.” Xu Wenye was combing her hair. “It hasn’t been peaceful down the mountain lately. There are many ferocious demons roaming around. I’m worried about you going alone. You might get skinned and dismembered by them.”
Jiang Zhiyi also felt that it was inappropriate for him to be alone, but she needed to set some rules for him before going.
"You'll be my little follower. After we get down the mountain, whatever I say goes, and you have to listen to me."
“Sure, but it’s only fair that you reciprocate. Sometimes you have to listen to me.” Xu Wenye smiled.
"When?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.
Xu Wenye looked at her with a smile, then leaned close and whispered something to her.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately blushed and angrily scolded him, "You pervert!"
"Alright, stop moving around. What do you think of the hairstyle I did today? Do you like it?" Xu Wenye then took out a silver hairpin with a phoenix butterfly design. He used some spiritual power, and the phoenix butterfly on the hairpin trembled slightly and shimmered with light.
"Excellent, a generous reward is warranted." Jiang Zhiyi was very pleased and didn't hold back her praise.
Xu Wenye stroked her hair, looked up and met her gaze in the mirror, his eyes full of tenderness.
At the foot of the mountain.
The two men, disguised as ordinary monks, were resting in a teahouse. They were in a private room on the second floor, where they could see the stage below, which was surrounded by spectators.
The actors sang on stage, amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums, their long sleeves fluttering, performing a story of love, hate, and revenge.
Jiang Zhiyi was engrossed in watching the play when suddenly a commotion broke out around the stage.
"He Niang, what do you mean by this? Is this person your new love?" A young man in blue robes pulled up a woman in pink who was watching the play by the stage.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" The woman in pink seemed unwilling to pay him any attention.
"Are you forcing me? How about we just stay together and act like before?" The young man in blue pleaded in a low voice, his face full of bitterness.
"I'm sorry. I do have feelings for you, but I also have genuine feelings for him." The woman in pink took the arm of the young man in white beside her. "If you can't accept this, then our relationship can only end here, and we'll go our separate ways from now on."
The young man in blue stood there, speechless for a long time. He then said, "He Niang, think it over carefully. I'll come back to see you in a few days. If you still insist on this, then I'll have no choice but to give up!"
Not long after, those people left.
The stage was bustling again, with people discussing the plays and chatting over tea.
"That man in blue just now... Xu Wenye, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Zhiyi thought that person was too stingy. He could have been more generous, so that everyone could have stayed together happily.
"I think he's too lenient... If I were him, I would tie that girl up and take her back, then torture her mercilessly, until she bleeds! Some people are fickle and need to be severely punished," Xu Wenye said coldly.
He seemed to still be thinking about all sorts of cruel ways to torture people.
Xu Wenye glanced at Jiang Zhiyi again and said slowly, "Luckily, our Zhizhi has always been very well-behaved and only likes me, right?"
Jiang Zhiyi tugged at her handkerchief, then looked up at him and nodded.
...
Lingzhong Palace.
Jiang Zhiyi ordered Xu Wenye to build her a swing under the osmanthus tree.
"Didn't you say you didn't like it?" Xu Wenye fed her a few bites of pastry.
"I just don't like osmanthus cake, but I love this osmanthus tree," Jiang Zhiyi said with a gentle smile. "I used to rest on this osmanthus tree all the time, didn't you notice me?"
Xu Wenye naturally knew about this matter, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed to have lasted for a long time.
"Xu Wenye, you were so cold to me back then, you never wanted to talk to me, and later you even deliberately broke my sword!"
Jiang Zhiyi suddenly remembered her three years of fruitless effort, and she felt annoyed. If it weren't for the existence of a cheat code that allowed them to make some progress, she might still be stalking the osmanthus tree every day.
“You act like you’re always up to no good. If it were anyone else trespassing into Lingzhong Palace, I would have broken their hand and thrown them into the Discipline Hall to be punished. Besides, I also lost your sword, and you’ve been crying and whining all the time.”
"..." Jiang Zhiyi remained silent.
She seemed to remember something and started laughing non-stop. She said, "And then... some people said they refused, but every time they went to him for dual cultivation, he clearly enjoyed it very much."
Xu Wenye stared straight at her, not annoyed at all, and slightly parted his lips to say, "What are you implying to me now? Are we going to cultivate together tonight?"
Jiang Zhiyi ignored him and said, "Luckily, this osmanthus tree has a thick trunk and branches, so I can lie down on it."
Xu Wenye recalled that she had indeed been like a little bird that had built a nest in a tree before, and had even brought quite a few things with her, such as pastries, water pouches, and books...
"So what were you trying to do every day while you were sneaking around?" Xu Wenye asked her.
Jiang Zhiyi would never tell him that she had to find a way to observe him in order to complete her mission and then take the opportunity to get close to him.
"I'm not telling you!" she said dismissively.
“I know even if you don’t say it.” Xu Wenye’s eyes were burning. “You must have fallen in love with me at first sight, which is why you come here to see me every day.”
Xu Wenye thought that even if it was love at first sight for his cultivation level, it would still count as love at first sight.
"I didn't! But you're often not in Lingzhong Palace, so I can't see you at all back then." She waited anxiously every day, but could only catch glimpses of him occasionally.
"I've always been here, and I've rarely left." Xu Wenye hardly ever left Mount Ling, spending almost every day cultivating in the Lingzhong Palace.
"Since you're here and you've discovered me, why don't you come and cause me any trouble?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.
Xu Wenye smiled and said, "Actually, I was also very curious at the time, curious about what you did every day at the osmanthus tree, so..."
Jiang Zhiyi stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
Xu Wenye kissed her cheek and continued, "So several times, I used an invisibility spell and sat next to you to watch you."
"It's a pity you're too stupid; you've never noticed it before."
