Chapter 50
Sui Sui was unaware of her brother's unspeakable worries, nor did she see that the round hair on her head was being flattened under her brother's fingertips and then became round again.
The little fat boy just tilted his head and looked at his brother obediently with his watery black round eyes.
Then, Suisui stretched out her plump arms like lotus roots, held her brother's head as if supporting it, and slurped the food down.
The first kiss wasn't enough, the little fat boy generously gave his brother several warm and wet kisses from forehead to cheek.
"Brother, don't be afraid." Suisui comforted her brother in a childish voice: "Luo Daohang is here, don't be afraid, Suisui will protect you."
The little fat boy thought about it and felt that the reason why his brother kept staring at him must be the threat that Luo Daohang had just made.
"Sui Sui is a good boy and won't be separated from Tao Tao, Xue Xue, and Hong Hong."
So, the little fat boy made a serious promise: "Sui Sui will protect myself and my brother as well."
Jiang Mingyan's stern expression gradually faded.
He didn't mention what he was really thinking, but responded gently, "Brother, I believe in Sui Sui. Sui Sui is so powerful, brother, I'm not afraid."
The little fat boy smiled reservedly and proudly.
The smile was sweet and soft, like the bright and warm sunshine, shining warmly and falling into Jiang Mingyan's eyes. A breeze suddenly blew, and gentle waves spread out.
"Brother, are you going to the secret realm?" Sui Sui asked in a childish voice.
"Sui Sui, do you want to go?" Jiang Mingyan lowered his eyes and looked at the soft and tender little guy in his arms.
"Will brother be hurt?" Sui Sui asked his brother hesitantly with a conflicted look on his face.
The little fat boy wants to go.
From the very beginning, when Sui Sui didn't know that An Jinyun was equal to Yun Niang, he was extremely interested in this matter.
Just like a kitten that has been pampered and loved by its owner, when it suddenly sees a little bird flying in, it will definitely stretch out its claws to scratch at it to find out what is going on.
Now the past between Yunniang and Luo Daohang has been clarified, but whether Luo Daohang can come out of the secret realm and what the final outcome will be are like dried fish hanging in front of a kitten, swaying back and forth. If the kitten doesn't eat it in one bite, the hair on its body will stand up uncomfortably.
However, no matter how many dried fish there are, they are not as valuable as their owner in the kitten's heart.
Looking at the fat boy with dark round eyes that showed both excitement and hesitation, Jiang Mingyan smiled gently: "Brother wants to go, does Sui Sui agree?"
He did not answer the fat boy's question, but took the responsibility on himself.
"Really?" Suisui was surprised, but her big black round eyes did not forget to look at her brother seriously, as if she was studying the truth in her brother's words.
"When has brother ever lied to Sui Sui?" Jiang Mingyan pinched the chubby boy's soft face and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Great!" Sui Sui cheered, "Then Sui Sui and brother will go together!"
Jiang Mingyan's dark and deep phoenix eyes looked quietly at the happy little guy, and the smile on his lips was gentle and sharp.
He didn't lie.
Jiang Mingyan remained indifferent to the Luo family's requests for help from beginning to end. Besides, the Luo family didn't originally seek help from him and Suisui.
If Sui Sui had not been interested, he would have taken Sui Sui back to the house to read Taoist scriptures.
However, as the truth that had been hidden for many years slowly came to light, Jiang Mingyan was inevitably involved as he listened to Luo Daohang's crazy and resolute request.
An hour later, evil spirits will wreak havoc in Xihua Town.
Jiang Mingyan could certainly take Sui Sui away immediately to protect both him and Sui Sui to the greatest extent possible.
However, although Luo Daohang only said that he would turn Xihua Town into a purgatory, could his words really be trusted? Would he really not spread the evil energy and affect other areas?
How far must he and Sui Sui go to ensure they don't get dragged into it?
Even if I avoid it this time, what next?
Rather than retreating and giving in, Jiang Mingyan prefers to take the initiative into his own hands.
He didn't like unstable factors, especially when this unstable factor would threaten Suisui's safety, Jiang Mingyan hated it even more.
It would be better if Luo Daohang died. If he hadn't died, he had already seen what he and Sui Sui looked like. Even if Luo Daohang didn't take it to heart, Jiang Mingyan would still feel uneasy.
Who knows what a madman will do?
It is better to solve the problem once than to guard against it for a thousand days.
The incident with the Jiang family has profoundly taught Jiang Mingyan how great the consequences will be if he does not remove the root of the problem.
He was unable to take action against the Jiang family because he was not strong enough.
But now he has Duan Jingyan, Yun Niang and others by his side.
Aside from Shao Jishuang, the others were all at the Jindan level, and Yunniang had even managed to keep Luo Daohang trapped in the secret realm. Even if there had been some missteps later on, it was still enough to prove Yunniang's strength.
Entering the secret realm with them, Jiang Mingyan could relax a little more about Suisui's safety.
Moreover, Jiang Mingyan felt the black sword trembling in his dantian, his eyes sharp and stern.
He is a sword cultivator, fighting against opponents of higher levels and not avoiding attacks.
He couldn't hide with Sui Sui forever.
Jiang Mingyan looked at the little fat boy who was still happy, just like a sharp sword with cold light looking at his unique and precious scabbard.
"I will be with my brother every year." His eyelashes drooped slightly, and the subtle arc they drew was sharp and full of cherishment and love.
·
It is unknown when the Yan family of Yunzhan Pass will send someone.
Luo Daohang only gave one hour and placed all his hopes on the Yan family of Yunzhanguan, which was inevitably a bit inappropriate.
After they had a general understanding of the past between Yunniang and Luo Daohang, and Yunniang agreed to go to the secret realm with them, Duan Jingyan and Shao Jishuang became busy.
Duan Jingyan set up a sword formation in the yard, both for protection and to prevent the Luo family from taking the opportunity to escape.
Shao Jishuang sent a sword message to inform his fellow junior brothers and sisters who were still staying in the inn about what had happened here, and ordered them to do their best to protect Xihua Town and wait for the arrival of Yan's family from Yunzhan Pass to send the people away together.
While the disciples of Xuanjian Pavilion were busy, Yunniang stood aside, her eyes a little dazed, quietly looking at the little girl who was holding a cake and a baby.
Sui Sui came back to her senses from the joy of being able to go to the secret place with her brother, just in time to see this scene.
The little fat boy followed Yunniang's gaze and looked at the little girl.
She was still standing timidly by the wall, just as she had been before they entered the house. The baby in her arms had stopped crying, and the little girl only had half a piece of cake in her hand.
The little fat boy's bright smile faded.
"Brother, you said Sui Sui is really, really good. I treat Sui Sui well because she's really good, and she's good in every way." The little fat boy asked his brother in a low voice, his head bowed, "So she and her sister are disobedient and not good enough? Is that why their mother doesn't like them?"
"Why would Sui Sui think so?" Jiang Mingyan held the pitiful little fellow steady with one hand, and stroked Sui Sui's back with the other. "Brother treats Sui Sui well because of who she is, not because she's well-behaved or sensible."
"Even if Suisui is naughty every day, even if Suisui becomes a very bad little scoundrel, brother still likes Suisui and will treat Suisui well."
"It's just that Sui Sui wouldn't be able to run around like she does now. My brother would watch over her, help her correct her bad habits, and guide her in a good direction."
"Brother loves Sui Sui, unconditionally."
“People who truly like Suisui don’t do so for a certain characteristic of Suisui, nor for something they can gain from Suisui.”
"So, it's not that they are bad, but their mothers don't like them." Sui Sui thought thoughtfully.
"Yes." Jiang Mingyan's eyes fell on the thin girl, and then slowly moved his gaze to the baby in her arms: "Don't worry Sui Sui. Once the Yan family of Yunzhanguan finds out what the Luo family has done, these children will be sent to the Charity Bureau and will no longer be stuck in the quagmire."
"Will they meet someone who loves them unconditionally there?" Sui Sui asked in a childish voice.
Jiang Mingyan listened to the little fat boy's innocent and soft voice, and his handsome eyebrows softened. Under the gloomy sky, it seemed to contain a faint and warm sunshine: "Yes. They will meet."
Sui Sui was happy, and a bright and innocent smile appeared on her round face again. She said in a soft voice: "That's good. I hope we can meet soon~"
Jiang Mingyan smiled, but before he could utter any words of expectation, a pair of chubby little arms wrapped around his neck. He felt an itch in his ears, as the hairy round head was rubbing against them.
"Sui Sui also loves his brother unconditionally."
"Sui Sui and my brother are very lucky. They met people who love them unconditionally very early on."
Yes, very lucky.
Jiang Mingyan held the soft and sweet little child in his arms, a smile spreading in his eyes, extending to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, his features were clear and his gaze was bright.
As soon as Suisui and her brother finished talking, Duan Jingyan came over.
"Do you want to enter the secret realm together?" she asked.
Jiang Mingyan nodded and looked at her eagerly.
Duan Jingyan sighed.
She had just argued with Shao Jishuang about this, and now seeing that the two of them also insisted, she said nothing more: "Okay."
Duan Jingyan was silent for a moment, then added: "Senior Brother Shao is also going to enter the secret realm. He has many spiritual weapons on him, and Sui Sui can stay with him."
She didn't mention Jiang Mingyan.
As both were sword cultivators and rookies in the way of the sword, there was no need to say much.
Just as she would not retreat without a fight, Jiang Mingyan would not either.
Time waits for no one, and the one-hour deadline hangs like a sword, precariously on the verge of collapse. Now that everything has been arranged, they decide to set off immediately.
But before they walked out of the yard, the Luo family, who had not appeared until now, came out from the house in the corner.
Luo Daoxuan was supported by someone, his face was pale and dejected, but he forced himself to ask, "Can the immortals deal with Luo Daohang? We were also deceived by Luo Daohang in this matter. Please don't blame us, immortals."
"So what if it can't be solved?" Xue Xuan was disgusted with this family and said coldly, "That's exactly what you wanted!"
"What the immortal said is inappropriate." Luo Daoxuan looked at Duan Jingyan, earnestly hoping that she could give a definite answer.
"It doesn't matter whether we blame you or not. Old man, you should think about how to explain the fact that you have been sacrificing babies for many years when the Yan family from Yunzhanguan comes!" Duan Jingyan said coldly.
"They were just some worthless girls. They haven't even grown up yet. If they died, they died. Who wouldn't have a few children die?" Luo Daoxuan saw the indifference and perfunctory attitude of these immortals and quickly explained, "We only used our own children and never harmed other people's children!"
"Then I'll praise you all for being good people!" Sui Sui said angrily, "Why don't you use yourselves? Why use babies?"
"Isn't this a secret technique that only requires babies to perform the spell?" said the middle-aged man who had pulled his brother in front of him and stood in front of him nonchalantly.
"That's evil magic." Xue Xuan said with disgust.
"What kind of witchcraft is this? Immortal, don't leave. How can this be considered witchcraft? Immortal——"
Seeing Duan Jingyan and the others walk out of the yard without saying anything, Luo Daoxuan hurriedly stopped them.
"Master, please explain clearly..."
Suisui lay on her brother's shoulder and saw Luo Daoxuan staggering and falling to the ground through the open gate. The middle-aged man who wanted to chase him was blocked by the sword formation and could not leave the yard.
After walking out of the alley, the little fat boy could still hear the Luo family's excuses.
"Master, we are wronged—"
"It's all Luo Daohang's fault. He deceived us and told us that it was okay to sacrifice a baby!"
"The first one we used was a dead baby! It was Luo Daohang! It was all Luo Daohang!"
Sui Sui pouted unhappily: "Quibbling!"
The little guy thought about it and became a little worried: "Brother, if we don't take those children away, will they take their anger out on the children?"
"I have cast a spell on each child, so the Luo family can't hurt them." Yun Niang couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the little cub calling a child who was much older than him "child" in a baby voice.
Sui Sui's frown finally relaxed, and she softly praised him, "Yun Niang, you are so great."
Yunniang's charming and affectionate eyes were gentle: "Sui Sui is also very powerful."
"Hehe, brother taught Suisui, so brother is more powerful." The little fat boy was proud and pulled his brother's sleeve to clear his name.
Yunniang suppressed a laugh: "Yes, you are all amazing."
The secret place is outside Xihua Town, and it is a place that the little fat boy remembers deeply.
The grass was dark green, the trees were lush, and under the gloomy sky, there was a deep silence.
This is the place where Suisui met Shao Jishuang and encountered Yingxue Teng!
Hearing Yunniang say, "We're here, this is the place," the little fat kitten opened his black eyes wide like a cat.
ah?
Is the secret place here?
The confused little fat boy scratched his round head with his little hands, first leaned in front of his brother's face to take a look, and then stretched out his furry little head to look at Shao Jishuang.
Then, the little fat boy was surprised to find that they were not surprised, and they had obviously guessed it a long time ago.
Sui Sui puffed up her tender little face and fell into deep thought.
