Chapter 103
Five days later, at the Floating Cloud Peak of the Qingmiao Sect.
Three people were standing on the lush green grass. The two young men in the front were chatting casually, while the young man with bloodshot eyes in the back was staring intently at the sky covered with dark clouds.
Taoist Master Mingruo lowered his gaze to the lush green grass before him. Suddenly, he sent a message to Taoist Master Fengxun, "Are Suisui and Xiaoshuang hiding something from us?"
The questioning sentence was spoken in a declarative tone, with an indescribable sharpness, which immediately revealed the truth that Jiang Sui Yan had tried so hard to conceal.
Taoist Feng Xun smiled faintly and said nothing.
Ming Ruo Daojun: "Xu Fengxun, don't play dumb."
Taoist Master Feng Xun, mindful of his worthless disciple who was full of expectations, suppressed his helpless sigh and silently transmitted his message, "Mingruo, Suisui has grown up under our watch. We all know him. He's a good child and doesn't have any bad intentions."
"Of course I know." Ming Ruo Daojun said as a matter of course, "Sui Sui has always been well-behaved. I don't mean to blame you."
"...Then what do you want to ask?" Taoist Feng Xun finally sighed, causing Shao Jishuang to shift his gaze away from the thick clouds in the sky.
However, Shao Jishuang did not notice anything unusual. He guessed that his master and Mingruo Daojun were communicating privately, so he shifted his gaze back to the sky.
"Do you mean Ming Yan knows about this?" asked Ming Ruo Daojun.
He did not tell the specific details, but he and Taoist Feng Xun both understood it tacitly.
The heavy and dense clouds were dispersed by the cold sword intent, and a thin blue line appeared in the gray-white sky. A handsome and cold black swordsman stood tall and straight on the jet-black long sword.
Behind him, a young man also dressed in black stood obediently, his slender white fingers tugging at the corner of the clothes of the black-clad swordsman in front of him.
As the boy's usually flamboyant and passionate expression faded, the inherent coldness in his bones shone through. Against the backdrop of his black clothes, he looked even more like an exquisite jade statue, crystal clear and dazzling, yet distant and difficult to approach.
Taoist Feng Xun looked at the two brothers, who were both equally handsome, and asked with a smile, "How many things can Sui Sui hide from Ming Yan?"
Mingruo Daojun quietly put the matter of taking in his beloved disciple on the agenda.
Taoist Fengxun knew what Taoist Mingruo was thinking without even looking.
Although he didn't think that Jiang Mingyan would drive Sui Sui out of Qiumu Peak because of his doting on his younger brother, and he thought that he was more worried about his disciple than Sui Sui, Taoist Feng Xun didn't say anything in the end. He just secretly made a note to remember to give his disciple more life-saving spiritual weapons.
The Yuansu Sword was about to stop above the Floating Cloud Peak, and Jiang Suiyan jumped down from it as if he was in a hurry.
The black-clothed swordsman's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly looked away after seeing his younger brother land safely.
By the time the black-clothed swordsman stepped onto Floating Cloud Peak, Jiang Suiyan had already started talking to Taoist Master Mingruo and Taoist Master Fengxun. He looked composed and acted frankly in front of his elders, as if the person who had hurriedly run away from his brothers just now was not him.
The black-clothed swordsman looked at the well-behaved and lively smile on his younger brother's face, and his dark and deep phoenix eyes seemed to inadvertently fall on the young man with blood-red eyes standing behind Taoist Master Mingruo and Taoist Master Fengxun.
Shao Jishuang's handsome eyes were as gentle and smiling as ever. After feeling the gaze of the black-clothed swordsman, he smiled back naturally, his blood-red pupils calm and gentle.
The black-clothed swordsman nodded, then lowered his eyes quietly.
As expected, he is the eldest senior brother who is still highly praised by the disciples of Xuanjian Pavilion even though he has been away for many years. He behaves much more naturally than that little fool in his family.
The black-clothed swordsman thought, what a pity, too much concern will lead to confusion.
As a cultivator who fought his way out of a group of monsters step by step, Jiang Mingyan has always believed in his own judgment and five senses.
Although he had just glanced at Shao Jishuang while paying attention to his younger brother, Jiang Mingyan still clearly caught the nervousness that flashed across the bloodshot-eyed boy's face and the steps he took unconsciously.
Shao Jishuang quickly restrained herself, but wouldn't this make things even more suspicious?
Suisui has always been good friends with Shao Jishuang, and they are almost inseparable every day. Isn't it normal for Shao Jishuang to care about Suisui?
Being secretive only arouses suspicion.
However, Suisui is only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage. The distance from Yuansu Sword to Floating Cloud Peak is nothing to Suisui. But Shao Jishuang is worried. If Suisui goes out to gain experience in the future, won’t Shao Jishuang be unable to sleep or eat?
The black-clothed swordsman frowned slightly, thinking with some dissatisfaction that Shao Jishuang was still doting on Suisui too much.
——It was as if the person who had stared at his younger brother until he landed safely was not him.
Jiang Sui Yan didn't realize that in just a few breaths, his brother's thoughts had already turned several turns. He said a few words to his master and uncle Feng Xun, then gave his seat to his brother.
After all, they were about to go to Xihe City. Jiang Suiyan thought that these adults always had some secrets that they were unwilling to tell him and Shao Jishuang - in their eyes, he and Shao Jishuang were always children.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sui Yan secretly wrinkled his nose.
"Sui Sui?" Shao Jishuang asked softly to Mao Tuantuan, whose face was dull.
"Are you and Uncle Feng Xun the only ones from Xuanjian Pavilion going to Xihe City?" Jiang Suiyan stood beside his lover, but secretly glanced at his brother out of the corner of his eye. He felt guilty and brought up a random topic.
Since the adults were talking, it was normal for him and Shao Jishuang, two little kids, to get together!
While Jiang Sui Yan was cheering himself up in his heart, he subconsciously touched the back of his hand that Shao Jishuang had kissed.
Shao Jishuang was not annoyed when he heard Mao Tuantuan asking a question that had already been answered in the Ruyi Yinhua Jian.
He looked at the nervous Mao Tuan Tuan, his bloodshot eyes filled with a gentle smile: "Yes, it's just me and Master."
Jiang Sui Yan gradually calmed down under the gentle gaze of his lover. After the tension dissipated, the child who grew up being spoiled and bathed in love suddenly felt a lot of righteousness in his heart.
I'm already this old, what's wrong with having a relationship?!
Jiang Sui Yan grabbed his lover's slender hand and held it, holding his head high like a fierce cat with its claws bared and its fur standing on end.
The black-clothed swordsman, who had just settled things with Mingruo Daojun, turned around and saw his younger brother's arrogant look, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Then, Shao Jishuang saw the fluffy ball of fur slowly and quietly deflate.
What a familiar reaction.
Shao Jishuang tried to hold back her laughter, and her heart softened when she saw Mao Tuantuan's cowardly look.
"Let's go." Taoist Feng Xun was the first to break the silence. He seemed to have noticed nothing, and his handsome eyes held a hint of teasing. "Not only are the Qingmiao Sect and the Xuanjian Pavilion going to Xihe City, but other immortal sects and families are going too. This time, it's Ji Yao who's going to Shangzun City. If we're late, he'll definitely take this opportunity to mock us."
Upon hearing this, Ming Ruo Daojun frowned in disdain: "He meddles in everything all day long... Forget it, you guys should just leave."
Taoist Feng Xun threw out a small boat the size of a palm. The boat grew in the wind and became huge and majestic in just a few breaths.
Taoist Feng Xun jumped up and said, "Come up."
Jiang Sui Yan obediently followed his brother onto the boat.
Shao Jishuang followed closely behind.
After bidding farewell to Mingruo Daojun, the giant ship emitted a faint spiritual light and sank into the thick clouds.
Taoist Feng Xun and Jiang Mingyan did not stay on the deck, but went into the rooms in the cabin to meditate and regulate their breathing, leaving Jiang Suiyan and Shao Jishuang with some quiet time without being disturbed.
"I've been feeling a chill on my back lately." Jiang Suiyan held his lover's hand and whispered, "But my brother is here at Qiumu Peak. What evil spirit dares to invade?"
"Why didn't Suisui tell me?" Shao Jishuang worriedly probed Mao Tuantuan's body with his spiritual power.
After the meeting in Shuixi Town, Shao Jishuang and Jiang Suiyan had not met for five days. Fortunately, Jiang Suiyan thought it through later and allowed Shao Jishuang to contact him using the Ruyi Yinhuajian, so the two of them were not completely unaware of each other's situation.
"I don't think it's very..." Jiang Suiyan searched for words: "Important?"
Shao Jishuang seemed to be lost in thought.
Cultivators have a vague sense of good and bad luck. Since Mao Tuantuan said so, although Shao Jishuang was still a little worried, he did not ask any further questions. He just took note of it and planned to ask his master later.
"Chu Junning and Yu Hongze ultimately couldn't come." Jiang Suiyan pinched his lover's bony fingers and mentioned another matter: "Luckily, I mentioned this possibility before. They seemed to have been prepared for it, so they weren't too sad."
Mao Tuantuan's black, round and watery eyes are sparkling, like a sky full of stars, bright and dazzling.
Shao Jishuang lowered her eyes and looked at him, a smile in her eyes.
He heard the request for praise in Mao Tuantuan's little tone, and he sincerely thought that Mao Tuantuan was very cute.
"Sui Sui is great." The young man's bloodshot eyes shone, and his tone was gentle and sincere. "Sui Sui is not only a considerate and thoughtful friend, but also the most heroic and handsome lover in my heart."
Jiang Sui Yan raised the corners of his lips modestly.
"I knew it a long time ago." The black-clad young man, as if carved from ice and snow, pretended to be calm and said casually, "Shao Jishuang is also the best lover in the world."
