Chapter 65
"Brother is bad! Wuuuuu, brother doesn't love Suisui anymore!" The little fat boy cried loudly, looking pitiful as if he had suffered a great injustice. The two round tufts of hair on his head wilted, and he no longer had the arrogant look when he shook his head before.
Jiang Mingyan raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the chubby kid who only managed to avoid falling down and hitting his butt thanks to him holding on to it.
He carefully avoided the fat kid's red bottom and sat down on the bed, letting Sui Sui lie on his lap. "Why are you crying? Shouldn't you have thought of this outcome when Sui Sui secretly left her body to go out and play?"
"Brother spanked Sui Sui's butt...it hurts so much..." The little fat boy whimpered, and crystal clear tears rolled down like beads with broken strings. After a while, a large area of the bed sheet was soaked.
"It's not serious." Jiang Mingyan glanced down, rubbed the back of the fat kid's furry head, and said calmly, "I know my limits. It's just some minor injuries."
Sui Sui refused to accept the blow. Her little nose turned red and she sobbed and muttered in grievance, "It's so heavy! So heavy, so heavy! It hurts so much! Brother never hit Sui Sui before. Wuuuuuu, brother hits Sui Sui, brother doesn't love Sui Sui anymore..."
As he was talking, the little fat boy couldn't help but sniffed, and a bubble of snot came out.
Jiang Mingyan's spiritual consciousness happened to "see" this scene, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Brother!" Suisui felt even more wronged and shouted angrily.
Jiang Mingyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the little fat boy's face clean. He pinched Sui Sui's round and soft cheeks and said, "Okay, okay, Sui Sui, don't cry. Brother will apply the medicine to Sui Sui, okay?"
"Hmph!" The little fat cub covered his two big black eyes with his fat paws and was sulking alone.
"How could brother not love Sui Sui?" Jiang Mingyan applied medicine to the little fat boy while explaining the reason to Sui Sui in a gentle voice: "It is because brother likes Sui Sui that I want to educate Sui Sui."
"Didn't Sui Sui hear what Master Nian Kong just said, that it is extremely dangerous for the soul to leave the body?"
"After Sui Sui got the Ying Xue Vine, she never mentioned to her brother that she had learned the soul-leaving technique from the Ying Xue Vine."
"Sui Sui originally wanted to say it, but Shao Jishuang was making a promise at that time. Once she was interrupted, she had to take a break afterwards, so Sui Sui forgot about it~" The little fat boy interrupted angrily.
"Yes, Suisui forgot, so she never told me. Today, my brother had an epiphany, and Suisui felt bored. She happened to remember the method Yingxue Teng had taught her, so she made her soul leave her body, attached it to Yingxue Teng, and sneaked out to play." Jiang Mingyan softly stated Suisui's thoughts and sighed, "It's okay for Suisui to want to go out and play. It's also okay for her to want to try new things and new techniques."
"But Suisui hasn't officially embarked on the Dao path, hasn't systematically learned how to use spiritual energy, and only has a vague understanding of the art of soul separation. How could he be so bold as to recklessly cast spells and seals without anyone watching over him?"
The elder brother didn't mean to blame her, and his tone was gentle, but Sui Sui took it in. His chubby cheeks couldn't help but shrug, and his little head drooped even lower: "Brother..."
"Sui Sui." Jiang Mingyan stroked the little fat boy's back and said slowly, "Don't scare your brother like this again, okay?"
What would my brother do if something happened to Suisui?
"Just as my brother came back to his senses from his epiphany, he saw Sui Sui leaning against Da Hei, and no matter how hard he tried to call her, she wouldn't wake up... My brother was almost scared to death by Sui Sui."
"I'm sorry, brother. Sui Sui was wrong." The little fat boy hung his head like a listless kitten, and admitted his mistake pitifully and seriously: "I won't do it again in the future."
Jiang Mingyan lowered his eyes to look at the chubby little boy lying listlessly on his lap. Helplessness and indulgence intertwined in his eyes, and finally turned into tenderness: "Brother, I believe Sui Sui won't do it again."
"Do you want to let Dahei, Taotao and the others out?" After the lesson, the matter was over for Jiang Mingyan.
He then mentioned the big black dog that he had just stuffed into the spirit beast bag, and the three spirit plants that he had put into the spirit plant bag.
"No!" When Sui Sui heard this, he immediately shook his little head like a rattle: "No, no! Let's talk about it after Sui Sui gets better!"
Wuuuu, Suisui doesn’t want Dahei and Taotao to see her in such a miserable state!
"Okay, then let Dahei and Taotao out tomorrow." The elder brother suppressed his laughter and said considerately.
The little fat boy felt relieved after getting his brother's promise.
The spirit beast and spirit plant bags contained independent compartments, specially purchased by Jiang Mingyan at great expense. On weekdays, the little fat boy would play around in them like he was playing house. If Jiang Mingyan hadn't sternly refused, the spirit beast and spirit plant bags would have long since become muddy puddles that the little fat boy carried with him.
Although Sui Sui didn't succeed in the end, he did make the place look quite presentable.
It only takes one night, so the big black dog and the three spiritual plants will not be wronged.
"So Suisui will be fine tomorrow?" The little fat boy quietly touched and poked his brother's strong and powerful thigh, and asked in a low voice expectantly.
"Yes, Suisui will be able to jump around again tomorrow." Jiang Mingyan got up and put the little fat boy on the bed, chuckling.
"Yeah!" Suisui cheered.
"Sui Sui, lie down obediently for now. I'll go check out the information about Fourth Young Master Yan that I bought from Duobao Pavilion." The cub had already been taught a lesson, and arrangements had been made for the spiritual beasts and plants, so Jiang Mingyan took out the jade slip he had just obtained.
"Brother, take a look and tell Sui Sui about it after you finish reading it!" The little fat boy rubbed his chubby face on the bed to show his agreement, while grumbling and making the request with confidence.
"Okay, tell Sui Sui. You can't hide it from us." Jiang Mingyan rubbed the soft hair of the little fat boy and said with a smile.
The little fat boy chuckled, not looking at his red eyes. He no longer looked as pitiful as when he was crying so loudly just now.
Jiang Mingyan felt a tenderness in his heart. He pinched the fat boy's round face lovingly, then took out the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual sense.
Yan Qinglin, the fourth son of the Yan family, was born into the side branch of the Yan family in Yunzhan Pass. He possessed a single water spirit root, and due to his exceptional talent, he was taken in from a young age to live with the main branch of the Yan family. He was ranked alongside the other young masters of the main branch, and his treatment within the Yunzhan Pass Yan family was no less than that of the main branch's young masters.
At the age of fourteen, Yan Qinglin became a disciple of the Wanlu Sect, one of the six immortal sects in Jiuli Continent. Now, before he reaches the age of twenty, his cultivation has already reached the great perfection of foundation building.
After making sure that nothing was missed, Jiang Mingyan withdrew his spiritual sense and watched indifferently as the light of the jade slip in his hand dimmed.
He walked to the window, gently pushed it open, looked at the blue sky outside, and fell into deep thought.
Jiang Mingyan already had a vague guess in his mind about what Yan Qinglin was going to do.
He and Sui Sui couldn't stay in Tianyan City forever.
——What's more, delay will lead to changes.
Now he can guess when Yan Qinglin will take action. If it drags on for too long, what if Yan Qinglin becomes impatient and secretly attacks in the inn, which would be even more annoying.
Sui Sui had been clamoring for a long time before, and Jiang Mingyan agreed. After they posted the mission of finding someone in Duobao Pavilion, they would go to Xuanjian Pavilion first to let the little guy meet his friends.
Even with Yan Qinglin watching closely, Jiang Mingyan was not prepared to change his schedule.
He turned around, leaned against the window, and looked at the little fat boy who had fallen asleep on the bed without him knowing.
Suisui was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes casting a small deep shadow, her chubby face pressed against the bed, squeezing out a small lump of soft flesh.
As Jiang Mingyan watched, his cold expression softened.
"Little rascal." He muttered softly.
You're going on another adventure with your brother.
·
The next day, the sun shone through the window, casting a warm golden glow.
The little fat boy stretched, rubbed his round face on the quilt, hummed and lay there for a while before opening his big watery eyes.
"Eh——" Blinking his round eyes, the little fat boy jumped up and said, "Sui Sui's butt doesn't hurt anymore!"
Seeing the cub jumping around happily, Jiang Mingyan, who came over after hearing the noise, laughed: "I told you to apply the ointment and it will be healed soon. Can you still fool Sui Sui?"
"Brother is the best!" Suisui jumped up and down, clinging to his brother's arm tightly, like a furry little animal close to him: "Suisui loves brother the most!"
"You little rascal." Tapping the fat boy's nose, Jiang Mingyan carried Sui Sui to wash up.
The little fat boy grunted and dressed himself up, then tilted his head back to let his brother tie two fluffy little buns for him. Then the waiter brought in the food.
Suisui was sitting on a chair, and in between eating, he saw his brother let out the big black dog and Taotao and the others.
As soon as the big black dog landed, it immediately ran over and circled around the little fat cub several times, sniffing it for a long time before relaxing.
The three of Hypericum virginianum were not as excited as the big black dog. They just climbed onto the chair by shaking their roots.
Yesterday, not long after they were put into the spirit plant bag, a feeling of worry passed through Sui Sui's mind.
The little fat cub was crying very hard, but he was still strong enough to say to the three spiritual plants that cared about him: I’m fine!
However, yesterday, the cub was just trying to save face, but today he comforted from the bottom of his heart: "Dahei, Suisui is fine."
As he spoke, Sui Sui put the three Hypericum flowers into their dedicated leaves on the small tree.
The big black dog lay down beside the cub's chair and wagged its tail when it heard the words: "Woof!"
That's good.
While Sui Sui was eating, her brother slowly told her the information in the jade slips from Duobao Pavilion, and also told her his own guesses.
"Bad guys!" The little fat boy was filled with righteous indignation: "Sui Sui will follow big brother obediently and will not let the bad guys succeed!"
Jiang Mingyan chuckled.
After Sui Sui finished her meal, she was held in her brother's arms.
The little guy watched his brother pay the bill, then walked out of the inn and headed towards another city gate.
The big black dog followed them closely.
"Brother, is this door closer to Xuanjian Pavilion than the one we came in through?" Sui Sui was curious.
"The city gate we entered from faces southwest, and the city gate we are about to pass through now faces northeast, which is indeed closer to Xuanjian Pavilion."
"Go out from this city gate and walk a distance ahead, you will find a big river. This river is the only river that flows into the Meteoric Sea. The area around it used to be very lively, but now, only Tianyan City is left." Jiang Mingyan gently explained to the little fat boy.
"Oh, so that's it~" Sui Sui nodded, indicating that he understood.
As the towering city walls gradually shrank and grew farther away, the little fat boy hugged his brother's neck and whispered in his ear, "He's coming out!"
"Yeah." Jiang Mingyan hugged Sui Sui tightly, his body tensing imperceptibly. The big black dog's tail wagged slower.
Suisui loosened his chubby paws and nestled into his brother's arms.
They walked forward for a distance until they could see the turbulent river in the distance, and then they heard some movement behind them.
Sui Sui felt his brother stop and turn around, so the little fat boy tilted his head to look.
The man in black came over with the young man in brocade clothes.
It was Yan Qinglin and his group.
"Bring out the Green-Leaf Hypericum, Yingxue Vine and Black Flame Spirit Dog. Our young master is willing to exchange them with you for spirit stones." One of the men in black said coldly.
Jiang Mingyan ignored him.
Sui Sui puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction and said angrily, "We don't care about ideals! Go away!"
"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished." The man in black sneered and made a gesture. Several other men in black rushed up together.
At the same time, Sui Sui was placed on the back of a big black dog by his brother, who also put the blood-clotting grass that Sui Sui had stuffed into his hand around his wrist.
The next moment, the elder brother came forward with a sword.
These men in black were all at the early stage of the Golden Core stage. Jiang Mingyan was one level lower than them, but he was also able to handle the siege with ease.
The green-leafed Hypericum and the blood-clearing vine protected Suisui and Dahei.
Perhaps because Yingxue Teng had little awareness, Hypericum viridis did not treat the big black dog like it did, occasionally throwing a branch at it.
They have a pretty close relationship, so they work together well. Not only do they protect the little fat cub and the big black dog well, they can also occasionally help Jiang Mingyan block a few attacks.
As time went on, Yan Qinglin's expression became increasingly gloomy.
No wonder the young man dared to walk out of Tianyan City with the child so carefreely, it turned out that he was fearless.
"Get out of here!" He shouted coldly at the man in black who was struggling with Jiang Mingyan.
The next moment, Yan Qinglin raised his finger, and a pure white jade talisman suddenly floated in front of him.
"Go!" he shouted coldly.
Jiang Mingyan's eyebrows jumped, and he subconsciously dodged to protect Sui Sui.
"Bang--" The violent impact lifted Jiang Mingyan, Suisui and the big black dog together and pushed them into the surging wide river.
The green jade sword left by Ming Ruo Daojun on his chest was burning hot. Sui Sui tried hard to open his eyes wide, and before the river water submerged him, he saw his brother's anxious look.
"Young Master." The man in black stood aside with his head lowered. He only called out once and did not dare to speak again.
Yan Qinglin's face looked like an overturned palette, full of colorful and wonderful colors.
"Aren't they just two helpless cultivators?!" he asked coldly, "How come they have such powerful protective spiritual weapons? I wasted one of my spiritual talismans!"
The man in black stood aside in silence.
"Watch your mouths. Remember, you and I will be staying in Tianyan City today!"
"If this gets leaked, I'll be in big trouble, and neither will you!"
Not long after Yan Qinglin and his group left, a flash of light appeared, and a tall figure in a green Taoist robe appeared by the river.
Ming Ruo Daojun looked at the calm river, which was like a mirror, and raised his eyebrows: "Here? The Meteoric Sea..."
He didn't know what he was thinking about, he chuckled and walked away slowly: "The time has not come yet..."
At the same time, Beimingzhou.
The endless snow and ice, and the palace standing on it are magnificent and holy.
In the palace, someone was holding the silver hairpin that Jiang Mingyan and Suisui had given to Duobao Pavilion, with an unreadable expression: "Three months later, when they go to Duobao Pavilion, find a way to bring them to me."
