Chapter 63
The vine cub was panicked, and the beautiful blood-red vine curled up into a ball timidly.
What was going on? Sui Sui and the Master were clearly far away from Brother just now, how come in the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Brother?
The master has only taken one step!
Why don’t you give Sui Sui time to react?
The boy trembled as he faced his brother's increasingly cold and murderous handsome eyes.
Wuuwuwu, someone come quickly and save the cub! Otherwise, Senwan will be in trouble and Suisui will be punished by his brother.
The young vine boy thought timidly, knowing that what he was doing was blatantly stepping into his brother's minefield.
But avoiding the problem will not solve it.
Under his brother's cold gaze, the vine cub whispered, "Brother."
Everyone present, except the vine cub, had some cultivation skills. Therefore, even though Sui Sui's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, they could hear it clearly.
Jiang Mingyan sneered: "Sui Sui still remembers to come back?"
People who have not experienced it personally cannot understand the panic in Jiang Mingyan's heart when he woke up and found the little fat cub leaning limply against the big black dog. No matter how he called it, the cub was still sleeping soundly.
The sword intent from the boulder was fierce and domineering. Any ordinary person would immediately avoid its sharp edge and stumble back upon sensing it. Otherwise, they would inevitably be injured by the sword intent, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
But Jiang Mingyan was a sword embryo, his sword heart clear and pure, so he naturally wasn't afraid of being wounded by the sword intent. Furthermore, due to his exceptional comprehension, the moment he saw the sword mark clearly, he immediately fell into a sudden enlightenment that countless cultivators could only dream of.
When Jiang Mingyan woke up, his cultivation had reached the great perfection of foundation building as expected.
But before Jiang Mingyan had the chance to share the joy of advancement with the little fat boy, his family member Suisui handed him a "big gift" first.
The elder brother was so happy that he wanted to make stir-fried bamboo shoots and meat for the little fat boy.
When thin golden lines appeared on Sui Sui's body, Jiang Mingyan was patiently questioning the big black dog that was in cahoots with the cub.
Unfortunately, Jiang Mingyan's progress was not smooth.
Dahei is absolutely in his brother's camp but his heart is with his cub, and his heart is completely inclined towards his cub.
Just now, the little fat boy assured the dog that this method of sneaking out to play was fine, and isn't the little fat boy doing well now? He's sleeping soundly, almost snoring.
Although a red bump inexplicably appeared on the cub's tender forehead, the Xuanyan Spirit Dog had a mysterious premonition about the master he recognized.
The little fat boy is fine now.
The big black dog thought firmly.
Jiang Mingyan was still able to suppress his anxiety because of Dahei's calmness.
He knew that Suisui should be fine, otherwise, the big black dog would have barked in panic.
But if human emotions could be controlled at will, and love, hate, anger, and ignorance ceased to exist, then why would humanity still struggle against the heavens for a glimmer of hope, striving to escape the cycle of birth and death? Wouldn't it be enough to simply accept the fact that we are as insignificant as dust?
Jiang Mingyan was always seen as calm and sharp by outsiders, and indeed, that was true. He was aloof from most things in the world, adhering to the attitude of "I won't offend others unless they offend me."
——But this definitely does not include Sui Sui.
Faced with Sui Sui's deep sleep, Jiang Mingyan did not lose his composure immediately, which showed that he had exercised great restraint.
Just when Jiang Mingyan's patience was about to run out, a golden thread emerged and the space fluctuated slightly.
A young monk in a gray robe appeared not far away, holding a blood-red crystal vine.
Jiang Mingyan's heart suddenly calmed down.
Then, a surge of rage ensued.
Jiang Mingyan's gaze stayed on the young monk for only a moment. After confirming that he had no ill intentions, he only paid a little attention to him, and the rest of his thoughts were on the vine cub.
Under the dark and stormy gaze of his brother, the young vine became even more timid, and the beautiful vine quietly moved back.
If Nian Kong hadn't given it a gentle push, the vine cub would have rolled off Nian Kong's palm.
Sensing the turbulent undercurrent beneath the seemingly calm atmosphere, Nian Kong lowered his eyes, muttered a Buddhist name, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you a relative of Sui Sui?"
Jiang Mingyan looked at Niankong.
The young monk has delicate features and is as gentle as jade. Standing among the green bamboos, he blends in silently with the surroundings. One can't help but sigh that there are gentlemen who are as meticulous as cutting and polishing.
Jiang Mingyan, however, did not let down his guard because of the young monk's innocent appearance. He sensed a threat from the young monk that was no less threatening than that from Ming Ruo Daojun.
"I am." Jiang Mingyan said calmly, "Thank you, Master, for sending Sui Sui back."
"Don't be polite, benefactor." Nian Kong smiled slightly and said, "My name is Nian Kong. Just now, Sui Sui accidentally bumped into me in the bamboo forest. I noticed something was wrong with Sui Sui, so I sent him back."
"Children are ignorant and always eager to try out worldly things. I hope the donor will not blame Sui Sui." Finally, Nian Kong couldn't help but say something more.
"Thank you, Master." Jiang Mingyan thanked him again, but did not respond to what Niankong said next.
"Brother, Suisui is wrong." The vine cub hesitantly said.
"Come here." Jiang Mingyan said lightly.
The vine cub slowly climbed down from Niankong, swinging the vines. After standing firmly, it slowly walked towards its brother.
Jiang Mingyan was almost amused by the timid and eager look of the vine cub, but the brother restrained himself and his face remained cold.
Even if Suisui moves as slowly as a snail, there are only a few steps to go, so how far can it go if it is delayed further?
Watching the vine cub approaching, Jiang Mingyan held the little fat cub's soft body with one hand, and stretched out his other arm to pick up the vine cub.
The vine cub swung a few times according to the force and the vine hung down limply. If his soul was not still on the Yingxue Vine, the fat boy's face would definitely be filled with a soft and ingratiating smile.
"Brother, Sui Sui knows I was wrong~" the vine cub murmured, "Sui Sui, from now on, I won't sneak out. If I want to go out and play, I will tell you first~"
"Sui Sui, can you go back to your body first?" Jiang Mingyan did not respond, but said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Nian Kong cast a concerned look over.
"Okay, Suisui will do it now." The timid vine cub didn't dare to refute and agreed hurriedly.
Suisui closed his eyes and silently recited the incantation in his heart. As the incantation gradually finished, some invisible restraint was released. Then, Suisui felt his body lighten, and then heavier again.
When the little fat boy opened his eyes again, he was already in his own body.
As soon as she returned to her own body, Sui Sui immediately stretched out her two dimpled little hands and hugged her brother's neck, saying in a guilty voice, "Brother..."
Jiang Mingyan saw that the little fat boy was in his normal state, and the two small hands around his neck were very strong. There was a slight relaxation in his deep phoenix eyes, and even the expression on his face was a little relaxed.
But these changes in him were extremely subtle, and Sui Sui was completely unaware of them, and was still feeling uneasy.
——This is also the effect Jiang Mingyan wants.
He did not try to comfort the little fat boy, but put down the Yingxue Vine in his hand and held the small, soft ball in his arms with both hands.
Now that there are outsiders present, and out of consideration for the little fat boy's face, Jiang Mingyan temporarily postponed the matter of teaching him a lesson.
After returning to the inn and setting up the barrier, Jiang Mingyan will settle the score with the little fat boy.
"The technique of soul leaving the body is extremely dangerous. Don't try it lightly in the future." Nian Kong looked at the interaction between the two brothers and warned them with a smile on his lips.
His previous words had already overstepped the bounds. If it weren't for the cute and talented little cub that suddenly bumped into him, Nian Kong would not have taken the initiative to interfere in other people's private affairs.
Noticing the gray-robed swordsman's loosening at this moment, Nian Kong also completely relaxed and just gave a simple reminder.
"Yeah, Suisui got it." The little fat boy's muffled voice sounded almost at the same time as another cheerful boy's voice.
"Master Niankong!"
Even though he was still worried about the safety of his little butt, Sui Sui couldn't help but turned his head to look curiously.
Looking at this cub who wanted to see what was going on at the slightest movement, a helpless smile flashed across Jiang Mingyan's lips.
He didn't stop her and let Sui Sui's eyes, full of curiosity, look at him quietly like a kitten peeking out.
Several middle-aged men in black robes were walking towards this side, surrounding a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old wearing silver boots and a jade crown.
The young man's voice that just overlapped with Sui Sui's voice came from this young man.
He stopped a few steps away and looked at Nian Kong in surprise, his eyes full of admiration: "I was passing by Tianyan Temple and came in to take a look on a whim. I didn't expect to meet Master Nian Kong here."
"Master Yan Si." Nian Kong said calmly, without much enthusiasm.
Fourth Master Yan didn't care at all. Instead, he looked flattered: "It's been several months since we last met. I didn't expect that Master still remembered me."
Sui Sui looked away disinterestedly and buried his chubby face in his brother's neck.
This person is weird, I don't like him.
“I wonder who these two are…” Sui Sui stopped looking at the young man, but the young man turned his gaze over.
When he saw the Green-Leaf Hypericum, Yingxue Vine and Xuanyan Spirit Dog surrounding Jiang Mingyan and Sui Sui, a hint of surprise and an indistinguishable light quickly flashed in his eyes.
Sui Sui's little body trembled and his chubby face buried even tighter.
...It's a bit strange~
The little fat boy thought confusedly.
"I met these two young friends by chance." Seeing that Niankong had no intention of introducing the two parties, Young Master Yan Si tactfully did not mention them again.
Jiang Mingyan took advantage of this gap to ask Sui Sui to shrink the Green Leaf Hypericum and Yingxue Teng and hang them on Fatty's wrist. After saying goodbye to Nian Kong, he left with Sui Sui in his arms.
The big black dog followed Jiang Mingyan, wagging its tail, and gave the little fat boy who was looking at it quietly a helpless look.
Jiang Mingyan seemed unaware of the silent communication between the puppy and the dog, and walked quietly on the gravel road.
He was moving at a fast pace, but from a distance, he could still hear Fourth Master Yan's lively voice: "Master, after congratulating the Patriarch, I stayed at Yunzhan Pass for a while and only left the house a few days ago..."
Sui Sui had no interest in congratulations or not. Anyway, Shao Jishuang had already taken pictures of the Yan family's banquet at Yunzhanguan that day and sent them to Sui Sui!
The little fat boy just looked at the solemn and dignified gate of Tianyan Temple and asked softly, "Brother, where are we going next?"
Don’t go back to the inn, don’t go back to the inn!
Jiang Mingyan glanced at the fat boy with a half-smile, knowing exactly what he was thinking.
"Let's go to Duobao Pavilion first," he said.
"Yeah!" cheered the little fat boy.
After cheering, Sui Sui felt something was wrong, and he became quiet again, stealing glances at his brother.
Well, I can't tell anything.
The little fat boy was thinking hard.
How can you avoid a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots?
Jiang Mingyan looked at Sui Sui's little appearance and sneered in his heart.
The kid is still too naive.
No matter what, Jiang Mingyan must prepare this meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork for his son.
