Chapter 57
Jiang Mingyan had a cold expression and his steps seemed to be neither fast nor slow, but in fact, in just a blink of an eye, he had left the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying far behind.
However, before Jiang Mingyan even reached the stream at the edge of the village, he heard the little fat boy's furious voice from afar: "You bad boy! Let me go! I'll wait for you. My brother will come and beat you until you scream!"
"Woof woof woof!" It was Dahei's angry cry.
Jiang Mingyan's expression turned cold. In an instant, he had already reached the stream.
When Jiang Mingyan saw the current situation of his family's Sui Sui, his handsome eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but become more cold - not directed at the little fat boy, but at the uninvited guest.
A young man had appeared in front of the mud pit beside the stream. He was dressed in a loose green Taoist robe, with a handsome face and a reserved and deep aura.
The man did what Jiang Mingyan had been thinking about in his mind just now - the little fat cub was held in the man's hands like a kitten, his short limbs flapping around, his cat-like face puffed up, and he looked extremely unconvinced.
"Brother!" Sui Sui exclaimed in surprise when he looked up and saw his brother.
"Woof woof!" The big black dog trapped nearby also woofed.
Jiang Mingyan gave the little fat boy a soothing look and said calmly, "My brother is young and ignorant. If he has offended you, please forgive me. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I return."
"Sui Sui doesn't have it." The little fat cub murmured softly, but did not interrupt his brother. His short limbs, which had been flapping constantly, became quiet and hung down limply, like a kitten being grabbed by the scruff of the neck waiting for its owner to claim it. He looked dejected, pitiful and cute.
The big black dog also quieted down, but its black eyes were still staring fiercely at the man in Taoist robes.
"What if I don't forgive you?" The man raised his eyebrows and gently shook the droopy-headed little cub in his hand.
Then, he saw the young swordsman in front of him with a tall and straight figure, handsome eyes and eyebrows that revealed indifference and alienation. He looked at his hand holding the cub, and a hint of coldness and heartache flashed in his eyes.
Naturally, the coldness was directed at him, and the heartache was for the little cub.
The man found it quite interesting.
He just shook the cub. He didn't believe that the young swordsman couldn't see the spiritual energy he was protecting around the cub.
His series of actions not only prevented the little cub from escaping, but also did not make the little cub feel any discomfort at all.
After all, he wasn't a pervert who would bother a cute human cub that looked like it hadn't been weaned yet.
The man thought very ignorantly.
"Then I'm sorry." Jiang Mingyan lowered his eyes and said coldly.
The next moment, a long black sword emerged silently, shining coldly and with a sharp sword intent.
The man blocked Jiang Mingyan's sword move with one hand, looking calm: "Your sword is very good."
Jiang Mingyan didn't answer, and his aura became more fierce.
Immediately afterwards, a torrential downpour of sword moves whizzed past, leaving the man no chance to breathe.
"Interesting." The man's eyes lit up slightly.
Jiang Mingyan knew that he was no match for the man - the man's aura was strong and unpredictable, and gave him the feeling that he was no worse than the third elder who was beside Changsun Lianwen at the time, and even stronger.
But his purpose was not to defeat the man, but to take advantage of the man's indifference that he inadvertently revealed.
In between his sword moves, he glanced at the chubby kid who was hanging obediently on the man's arm. His deep phoenix eyes and dark round eyes met, with a tacit understanding that no one could interfere with.
"Swoosh--" A transparent blood-red light flashed by, and the man felt his hand lighten, and the heavy little cub was taken away by a blood-red vine.
"Zheng——" Jiang Mingyan took advantage of the situation to step back, standing in front of Sui Sui, looking at the man in Taoist robes warily.
The man had no intention of chasing after it, but his eyes fell curiously on the chubby little cub that was carefully protected in the middle by the third-grade Yingxue Vine.
"I was careless." He sighed.
If those old guys in the sect knew that he was defeated by a short and stocky human cub and a young swordsman, they would probably laugh their heads off and mock him for hundreds of years.
"Amazing." The man looked at the little cub with eyes full of admiration. "What I just said, little guy, are you really going to reconsider it?"
"No!" Sui Sui whined, glaring at the man with her clear, dark, round eyes, and running towards her brother with her short legs: "Brother!"
Seeing that the man had no intention of attacking again, Jiang Mingyan held the sword in one hand and held the little fat boy in his arms with the other hand, letting the black mud on the little fat boy stick to his clean gray robe.
Jiang Mingyan didn't think anything of it, but the little fat boy, looking at the two black muddy handprints on his brother's shoulders, felt embarrassed and wanted to bury his chubby face in his brother's neck.
"Sui Sui, there is mud on your face too." Jiang Mingyan accurately predicted the little fat boy's actions and reminded him helplessly.
The little fat boy blinked his round eyes and stopped moving.
So, in order to cover up his mistake, the little fat boy turned around and said to the man in the Taoist robe: "You bad guy, give Dahei back to us!"
The man looked at the chubby cat-like face meaningfully, and with a flash of inspiration from his fingertips, the invisible restraints on the big black dog were untied.
Dahei jumped up and quickly ran to Jiang Mingyan and Suisui.
After scanning with his spiritual sense and confirming that there were no injuries on the little fat cub and the big black dog, Jiang Mingyan's brows relaxed slightly and he asked Sui Sui softly, "What happened just now?"
He just didn't want to observe closely how the white and tender cub that was fine, sweet and soft when it was released turned into a pitch-black mud cub, so he didn't use his spiritual sense to observe it for the time being. How come in a short while, the mud cub turned into a noisy little kitten in someone's hand?
Speaking of this, the little fat boy immediately turned into an angry ball of hair: "It's all the bad guy's fault!"
It’s so unfair every year!
The little fat boy played well with Hu Zi and Lian Xiang. After they had enough of pretending to be sword cultivators, they ran to the stream to play in the water.
Then, Lianxiang suggested that everyone play house together and showed the little fat boy their secret weapon - a round, black mud pit.
The little fat boy who had never played in mud was immediately shocked by the tiankeng and was completely overwhelmed by the mud pit.
Black mud!
Mud that can be molded into various shapes!
Hu Zi generously let the little fat boy be his father.
But even at this moment, the little fat boy did not forget his good friend - Dahei!
With the strong suggestion of Xiaopangzai, Dahei was successfully elected as the mother and received the warm support from Lianxiang - a bright red headscarf.
Big Black Dog: ...
Halfway through the game, Lianxiang decided to pick some green grass and get some tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.
This is more realistic.
So a group of children rushed home to do things that their mothers would punish them for.
Lianxiang asked Suisui, the soft, chubby little cub whom she loved so much, if he wanted to go home with her.
The little fat boy refused.
Sui Sui just doesn’t want to be separated from the mud pit!
In the end, Lianxiang, Huzi and the others had no choice but to leave Suisui here to look after the house and wait for their triumphant return.
As soon as they left, Sui Sui put on her little shoes and jumped into the mud pit amid the weak barking of the big black dog.
If the big black dog hadn't hidden aside with its tail between its legs, making it very clear that it was refusing, the little fat cub would have wanted to pull the big black dog to play with him.
Sui Sui was kneading the mud while imagining that his brother would also make a big mud pit for him!
It’s best to carry it with you!
As he thought about it, the little fat boy smiled happily.
Just as Suisui was admiring the barely recognizable human-shaped clay figure in his hand, a low, magnetic, and smiling voice rang out from behind him: "Look what I found? A child overflowing with spirit."
"Woof woof!"
As Sui Sui turned his head to look, a big black dog rushed over and protected the little fat cub.
"Who are you? How come you suddenly appear behind Sui Sui?" The little fat boy asked seriously with a frown.
"I am a cultivator from the Qingmiao Sect. You can call me Mingruo Daojun." The man in the Taoist robe said with a smile, "The current master of Youshuang Peak, one of the Twelve Peaks of Qingmiao, is my nephew. Little one, are you willing to take me as your master? If you do, you will be his equal."
"And since you are my first disciple, I will personally teach you the martial arts and sword techniques. Once you have learned a few techniques, this ugly lump of mud of yours can be transformed into the shape you want in a flash without any effort." Ming Ruo Daojun tempted softly.
Sui Sui's thoughtful expression suddenly changed, his black eyes widened and glared angrily.
What kind of person is this! This guy is so annoying!
Don’t you know that this lump of mud is ugly?
Wouldn't it be better to just see through it and not say anything? Why do you have to discourage the kid's enthusiasm?!
So annoying!
Sui Sui snorted angrily and said angrily, "No! Sui Sui has a brother, and he will teach Sui Sui. He doesn't want you!"
"I have already reached the level of Dongxu cultivation." Mingruo Daojun did not give up.
This little fat kid was exactly what he wanted. The thought of returning home with a docile and cuddly little disciple, making those old guys envious and jealous, made him even more eager. "I've never accepted a disciple before, and I've kept all those spiritual tools and plants. Come back with me, and they'll all be yours. I guess your brother isn't as good as me..."
"You big bad guy!" Sui Sui became even angrier.
Brother is the best!
And he also wants to kidnap Sui Sui!
The little fat boy thought about it, called out "Dahei", turned around and was about to run.
Ming Ruo Daojun was helpless. He grabbed the little fat boy and trapped the big black dog that was about to bite him. "Where is your brother? You are a little kid and don't understand. Can you let me talk to your brother?"
“No, no!” Suisui fluttered his little arms and legs like a restless cat, whining and whining, “Bad guy! Bad guy! He’s going to kidnap the child—”
"That's it..." The little fat boy nestled in his brother's steady and strong arms, and said in a wronged voice, "Sui Sui didn't offend him. It was the bad guy who provoked Sui Sui!"
"It's my fault." Ming Ruo Daojun readily admitted his mistake, "I shouldn't have held the little guy and prevented him from leaving. I should have secretly followed behind him."
The little fat boy opened his beautiful big, black eyes wide in disbelief.
Too, too shameless!
"I shouldn't have lied to you and said that the little guy offended me just because I wanted to test you." Mingruo Daojun looked at Jiang Mingyan with admiration: "You are also very good, in the middle stage of foundation building, with a solid foundation and a stable Dao heart."
"Do you want to become my disciple? Wouldn't it be better if you two brothers could be together, one senior brother and one junior brother?"
The little fat boy was angry.
He, he also wants to kidnap my brother! He wants to take Sui Sui and my brother away together!
Woo woo, did Sui Sui let a wolf into the house?
The little fat boy was sad and angry.
