Extra Chapter 7: Walking in the Rain [End]
A month later, in the sect competition, Jiang Biehen stood out from the outer disciples who were all in the Qi-refining and foundation-building stage and became the first place in the outer sect competition. He participated in the inner sect competition, and finally only got a result of 27th place, but for an outer sect disciple, this was already quite good.
After the competition is over, the top thirty disciples will have the opportunity to become the elders' personal disciples.
At this moment, Jiang Biehen stood among the thirty people, staring at Yan Handu on the stage with fiery eyes.
The headmaster stroked his beard and looked at the disciples with satisfaction. He said to Yan Handu beside him, "Xiao Qi, take a look at these new disciples. Are there any you like? Pick a few to be your personal disciples. Look at your brothers and sisters. Which one of them doesn't have a few personal disciples? You will soon be the headmaster too. How can you make it without personal disciples?"
Yan Handu did not say anything, but just scanned the thirty people below one by one. The one with the highest cultivation level among these thirty people was only at the peak of Yuanying, and the lowest was at the early stage of Jindan, but each of them was a genius with outstanding talent. Except for a few with single spiritual roots, the others had double spiritual roots, which could be said to be very good.
"Yes! Junior brother, just pick one!" Fifth Senior Sister blinked and agreed.
"Then I'll pick one."
Yan Handu's gaze stayed on Jiang Biehen, and finally moved away slowly. At that moment, Jiang Biehen felt as if his heart had instantly fallen into the ice, making him feel colder than the cold winter moon.
"Have you chosen one?" the clan leader asked with a smile.
"I've chosen it."
"Who?" Fifth Senior Sister asked curiously.
Yan Handu pointed casually, "Let's pick him!"
The fifth sister was surprised. Wasn't this the person that the younger brother had brought back before? He was actually in there too?
"Junior brother, are you sure?" She remembered that this person's spiritual roots were damaged, right?
Seeing the person Yan Handu pointed at, the other brothers and sisters instantly showed an expression of "as expected". A few years ago, the junior brother asked around for the news of Bu Tian Dan just for this kid.
Although this guy is related to Yun Su, there is no need for Junior Brother to worry so much. It turns out that he is waiting here! No wonder Junior Brother went to great lengths to find the Tianbu Dan for him.
The sect leader looked at Jiang Biehen below him, and then looked at his disciple. He knew his disciple's character best. It seemed that Jiang Biehen held a very special position in his heart!
"Okay, that's settled. As for the others, you and the other elders, make your own choices! I won't accept your old bones." After saying that, the sect leader put his hands behind his back and staggered away.
Soon, the destinations of the thirty disciples were decided, and the disciple competition came to an end.
The day after the disciples' competition ended, the sect announced that Yan Handu would inherit the position of the leader of Liuguang Sect. This news had already spread in Liuguang Sect, so all the disciples did not find it strange.
After the position of the head of the sect was arranged, the previous head of the Liuguang Sect, Yan Handu's master, Master Liuyun, planned to leave the Liuguang Sect and travel around the Cangyuan Continent.
Before leaving, Master Liuyun specially met with Jiang Biehen.
"Disciple has met the old master."
Liuyun looked at Jiang Biehen with sharp eyes and saw through this man's thoughts at a glance. However, he had done good deeds, so he didn't think he would be a wicked person.
"What's your birth date?"
Jiang Biehen was stunned. He had never expected that he would ask about his birth date right away, but he still told him the truth.
Liuyun pinched his fingers lightly a few times, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. As expected, this man was Xiaoqi's destined one. No wonder Xiaoqi treated him so strangely.
In the end, Master Liuyun said nothing, but patted Jiang Biehen on the shoulder and said, "Be good to Xiaoqi."
Jiang Biehen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of these words in an instant. He was delighted and immediately promised solemnly: "Master, don't worry. I, Jiang Biehen, will protect him, love him, and indulge him in this life, even if I have to sacrifice my life. I will not let him get hurt."
Liuyun was very satisfied with these words. "You'd better do it. If a cultivator fails to fulfill his promise, it will become a demon in his heart when he is overcoming the tribulation. If you can't do it, even if I don't do anything, your fate will not be good."
After saying that, Liuyun's gaze passed over Jiang Biehen and glanced in the direction of the door inconspicuously, then he withdrew his gaze and put on a smile on his face.
"Master, rest assured. Since I have the courage to promise you, I will not break my promise. Otherwise, I will die a miserable death." Jiang Biehen made the oath to the heaven without blinking.
This made Liuyun even more satisfied with this son-in-law. He patted Jiang Biehen on the shoulder, waved his sleeves, opened the door, and walked out of Liuguang Sect with a laugh.
Jiang Biehen then saw Yan Handu standing outside the door. Jiang Biehen's ears turned red instantly and the word "wife" came out of his mouth.
The moment he said it, Jiang Biehen regretted it. She hadn't even agreed to be his wife yet! How could he...
Yan Handu never thought that he would hear all this when he came to deliver something to his master. He actually swore an oath to the heaven in front of his master.
"Don't you regret it?"
No cultivator would take the oath to heaven lightly.
Jiang Biehen walked quickly to the door and hugged the person into his arms, "No regrets."
Yan Handu felt his heartbeat abnormal for a moment when the other party hugged him. When he heard him say that he had no regrets, he felt indescribable joy rising from the bottom of his heart. He raised his hand and slowly placed it on Jiang Biehen's waist, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Since you have no regrets, I am willing to give it a try."
In an instant, great joy filled Jiang Biehen's heart. His arms kept tightening, and he wished he could merge the person directly into his bones and blood.
"Xiao Qi, can I call you that?"
Yan Handu's smile faded, and he closed his eyes and rubbed his shoulder, "Well, but in front of outsiders, you must call me Master, and what happened between us cannot be known to outsiders for the time being."
"I understand." Jiang Biehen was already crazy with joy, and now he would agree to whatever he said.
Of course, hundreds of years later, no matter how much Jiang Biehen regretted it and wished he could go back and give himself a second chance, it was too late.
…………
Five hundred years later, on Suzaku Peak.
Jiang Biehen sat aside and sighed constantly, which made Jiang Biechen next to him unable to hold back and kicked over his stool.
"If you want to sigh, go back to your Liuguang Sect and sigh."
Jiang Biehen sat down on the ground and looked at Jiang Biechen speechlessly, "I am your brother, how can you treat your own brother like this?"
Jiang Biechen raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Yes! It's me."
Jiang Biehen: "......"
Speechless, Jiang Biehen stood up and went to complain to his wife angrily, but as soon as he got there, he saw that little brat pestering his wife.
"Uncle Yan, can you please let me go home with you? My father and daddy don't like me." As he said this, the little guy pretended to drop two golden beans, then turned around and made a face at Yun Su.
Yan Handu liked him very much, holding his little hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Okay! As long as your father agrees, I will take you to Liuguang Sect, how about that?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true? Let's make a pinky promise."
"Yeah." Little Zhuo Yuan immediately stretched out his little hand to make a pinky promise with Yan Handu, but just when he was halfway there, he was grabbed by another big hand.
Zhuoyuanzizi raised his little head in confusion, and saw his second uncle looking at him with a stiff smile. He raised his hand and rubbed his head hard, making his hair into a mess.
"Why go? Your father won't agree."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Yan Handu aggrievedly, not caring about the little kid who was not even as tall as his thigh, "Wife, when are we going to make it public?"
Yan Handu didn't even look at him, "Wait until I stop being the sect leader, or you stop being my disciple."
"It's impossible not to be your apprentice."
Suddenly, the cry of a child interrupted their conversation. Zhuoyuanzizi looked at his messy hair, was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…My hair, wow wow wow…”
Yan Handu immediately picked up the crying kid, glared at Jiang Biehen, and turned away.
Jiang Biehen: “…………” It’s all your fault.
"Wife, Xiaoqi, wait for me! I know I'm wrong."
Not far away, Yun Su and Jiang Biehen were speechless when they saw this scene.
"After so many years, why is my second brother still like this? He has no manners at all."
Jiang Biechen snorted, "You deserve it. Wait for that brat's revenge! The little guy can hold a grudge very well."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
