Chapter 19 Brainless Cannon Fodder
Li Youyang opened the door, his face full of impatience: "What do you want to say?"
Fu Guangjun was caught off guard and nearly fell. After stabilizing himself, he spoke softly, "You loved Nan Liujing so much in the past, but now that you've returned, you don't even want to see him..."
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. "The Youyang Divine Lord of the Guanhe Sword Sect is already dead. Everything that happened before is just a dream."
Fu Guangjun was a bit dazed. The former Lord Youyang had always hated evil, had a cheerful disposition, never shied away from trouble, and lived a vivid life. But now, seeing Li Youyang again, there was an indescribable coldness and indifference about him, a sense of detachment and disillusionment from the mundane world, as if he would dissolve into dust and vanish with the wind in the next moment.
What kind of blow would such a transformation bring? Something must have happened in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave that You Yang couldn't bear! Fu Guangjun clenched his fists in pain. He shouldn't ask any more questions. He said, "It's been a while since we played chess. How about a game of hand-to-hand?"
"Haha! Who would want to play with you, you stinky ass!" Jiuying walked in nonchalantly.
Fu Guangjun frowned: "There is a restriction on Fu Guang Peak that I set up myself. How did you get in?"
Jiuying pinched his waist and said proudly: "Hehe, I am Li Youyang's spiritual pet now. I can be wherever he can be. It's just that you threw me too far away during the day, so I wasted some time."
Fu Guangjun sneered: "Really?"
"Yeah...ah! Fuguang-kun, I'm going to fuck you!! Just wait for me~"
Li Youyang: ...
Fu Guangjun set up the chessboard and said gently, "Everyone who is not involved has left. Let's play chess."
Li Youyang walked over to the chair and sat down lazily: "Just one game."
"Um."
An hour later, Fu Guangjun put away the chessboard and left the room. Li Youyang yawned and went to bed.
In the next few days, Li Youyang spent most of his time either sleeping or sitting in front of the window in a daze.
Fu Guangjun would spend most of his time chatting with Li Youyang about the past, but Li Youyang showed little interest, occasionally responding once or twice, even when discussing a particular fight they'd fought in which he'd been particularly badly defeated. In the past, Li Youyang would have been furious.
At midnight, Fu Guangjun stood alone by the pond and sighed.
The Medicine Saint happened to pass by and was startled. After seeing who it was, he looked displeased and said, "What's wrong with you? Who are you trying to scare in the middle of the night by pretending to be a ghost?"
Fu Guangjun looked back with an expression as if he was about to cry.
The Medicine Saint frowned. This was much scarier than a ghost. "He finally came back, why is he sighing here?"
Fu Guangjun lowered his eyes: "Youyang is sick."
Medicine Saint was about to go look for Li Youyang, but Fu Guangjun stopped him: "It's not that illness, it's a heart disease."
"Heart disease?"
"Now he is very indifferent to everything. It seems that no one and nothing in this world can affect his mood. He has returned physically, but his heart has not."
Medicine Saint: ...
Medicine Saint: "I see no difference, it's the same as before. And it's normal to have some changes after going through life and death. Don't make a fuss."
Fu Guangjun shook his head: "Let me ask you, if someone killed you and took over your medicine garden, what would be the first thing you wanted to do after being reborn?"
"Nonsense, it must be revenge, to take back the medicine garden."
Fu Guangjun asked again, "What if this person is me or Youyang?"
Medicine Saint was stunned for a moment: "You mean Youyang was killed by Nan Liujing!"
"I know best what kind of injuries Youyang suffered when I fought him that day. It's impossible for him to be so injured that he would sacrifice his souls to seal the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. Youyang loved Nan Liujing so much back then. How could he not look for him now that he's back?"
The Medicine Saint lowered his eyes. "There may be a misunderstanding. When Youyang died, Nan Liujing was heartbroken and nearly committed suicide. I personally examined him, so I can't lie. And the fact that he guarded the coffin for seventy years is also true."
"Then do you think it might be that Nan Liujing was attracted to Youyang and wanted to force him to be imprisoned, but Youyang refused, and then Nan Liujing got angry and killed him by mistake."
The Medicine Saint rolled his eyes and said, "You have all sorts of crazy ideas in your head, but I warn you, don't even think about that."
Fu Guangjun's eyes darkened. "That's what you warned me about back then, so I only managed to win against him a little bit each time, letting him keep coming back for me. But what did I get? The news of his death. Ever since he arrived at Fu Guang Peak, I've had no intention of letting him leave. From now on, I'll keep him under my wings."
The Medicine Saint was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Go ahead and brag. If you really have the ability, why haven't you dared to express your feelings until now? When Youyang is about to leave, I'll see if you really dare to go against his wishes."
After saying that, he impatiently returned to his room: "You are a coward who brags all the time. Can you please do something serious for once?"
Fu Guangjun raised his eyes and looked into the distance. This time he really didn't intend to let go. He could no longer bear the days without that person.
…
Inside the Tianxuan Sect, Sect Master Xia Xiuming listened to his disciples' report on Fu Guangjun's recent situation, and his eyes darkened. "Are you sure there are outsiders on Fu Guang Peak?"
"Disciple is sure, and Lord Fuguang treats him very well, and will do anything for him."
A hint of coldness appeared on Xia Xiuming's lips. One Li Youyang died and another one came. Senior brother, you are so willful. What should I do with you?
"Master, do you need your disciple to continue..."
"No need. I will go and meet this unexpected guest myself."
…
At Fuguang Peak, Li Youyang had just been pestered by Fuguang Jun to play a game of chess, and he felt a little sleepy: "I've already played chess, can you please let me have some peace and quiet for a while?"
Fu Guangjun said softly, "Okay, what would you like for lunch?"
"Anything is fine."
Fu Guangjun smiled and said, "Then I'll go ask Zuixianlou if they have the dish 'Everything is OK'?"
Li Youyang frowned and said impatiently, "Fish."
Only then did Fu Guangjun leave.
Li Youyang propped his forehead with one hand, carelessly collecting the chess pieces on the board. He had just collected the fifth piece when Xia Mingxiu, dressed in a black robe, burst in and asked in a cold voice, "You are my special guest."
Li Youyang raised his eyes and saw that it was Xia Mingxiu. He frowned unhappily. The second reason why he was unwilling to come to Fu Guangfeng was that he hated Xia Mingxiu very much. This man had always been against him in the past. He also always used some underhanded means to plot against him, but in the end he always ended up losing more than he gained.
He was too lazy to think about it back then, but looking back now, it seems that he had never offended this person.
Xia Mingxiu carefully looked at Li Youyang and sneered, "Nothing special about you. I really don't understand how you could catch my eye."
Li Youyang was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Mingxiu and continued to pack up the chess pieces. Perhaps the two of them had been enemies in their previous life, so even though he had died once, this person still targeted him.
Xia Mingxiu raised his hand, and all the white jade chess pieces on the chessboard turned into powder. "I don't care who you are. Leave Fuguang Peak today, otherwise your fate will be the same as the chess pieces just now."
Li Youyang was slightly stunned as he looked at the empty chessboard. It was better to destroy it, so that Fu Guangjun, the bad chess player, wouldn't have to pester him to play chess every day.
Xia Mingxiu's eyes darkened: "Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard it."
"You heard it, why don't you get out?!"
Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly, and a formation was used to shock people out of the door. With a bang, the door closed.
Xia Mingxiu clenched his fist: "How dare you!"
Just as he was about to attack again, he sensed Fu Guangjun's spiritual energy, curled his lips, injured himself with a palm strike, and stood up, holding his chest, and said weakly: "Senior Brother..."
Fu Guangjun's eyes darkened and he hurriedly slipped into Li Youyang's room without even looking at Xia Mingxiu.
Xia Mingxiu stood there in shock, then saw Fu Guangjun's face filled with worry and concern. He asked softly, "Are you hurt?"
Li Youyang was displeased. Even if he couldn't establish his foundation now, a Golden Immortal made of medicine couldn't hurt him: "Who are you looking down on?"
Fu Guangjun breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with regret: "It's my fault. I will definitely be by your side from now on, and I will take you with me when I go out."
Li Youyang:?
What's wrong with this guy? Why is he having a hysterical attack in broad daylight? I'll have to ask the Medicine Saint to come and take a look at him later.
"Brother, this man's origins are unknown. Just now, when I didn't come to visit him, he attacked me and hurt me with ruthless methods. You are simple-minded, so don't be fooled by his appearance." Xia Mingxiu said unwillingly.
Li Youyang sighed silently. How come even the routine was the same? Just as he was about to explain a little, with a scream, Xia Mingxiu fell down seriously injured.
"roll!"
Xia Mingxiu looked at Fu Guangjun in disbelief: "Brother, you actually fought me for a stranger?"
Fu Guangjun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he repeated, "Get out!"
Killing intent! Senior Brother really wants to kill him?! Xia Mingxiu weakly stood up and flew away on his sword.
Li Youyang: ...
Returning to the sect, Xia Mingxiu's eyes were filled with resentment. What good was that man? He had actually bewitched his brother to this point! Even when Youyang Divine Lord was alive, his brother had never done this. This person must not be allowed to stay. "Go and deliver the Xuanzi chess that Hunyuan Sect sent last time to the guest at Fuguang Peak, and say it's this sect master's apology."
Li Youyang was not surprised to receive the Xuan Zi chess piece from Xia Mingxiu. This man was really at odds with him, and now he had murderous intentions at the first sight. If he didn't know the value of it and rashly placed the piece on the chessboard, he would probably fall directly into an illusion and eventually die of exhaustion. However, it was a good spiritual treasure. With a slight change, it could be more useful than an ordinary killing formation.
After waiting for two days and still hearing no news of Li Youyang's death, Xia Mingxiu said coldly: "Did Xuan Ziqi deliver it?"
"It was delivered two days ago. Sect Master, please be patient and wait. Perhaps that person hasn't played chess in the past two days."
Xia Mingxiu clenched his fists and said, "I can't wait any longer. If he stays for another day, Senior Brother will be further bewitched. I will go and play chess with him myself."
"Master, think twice. Xuan Ziqi is extraordinary. If something were to happen to you, what would happen to the sect?"
Xia Mingxiu pretended not to hear and flew away on his sword.
When he arrived at Fu Guang Peak, he came to the door of Li Youyang's room again. The whole room had been set up with a protective formation for Fu Guangjun, and Xia Mingxiu could not enter at all. The murderous intent in his eyes became stronger. His senior brother really valued him.
"Fellow Daoist, I was rude in the previous incident. I've come here today to apologize. I wonder if I could meet you?"
Li Youyang held his forehead, wondering why he was here again. He was too lazy to bother with this person. But this person kept shouting outside the door two or three times, and it looked like he would keep shouting until dark if he didn't leave.
Helplessly, Li Youyang had to wave his sleeves to open the protective formation.
Xia Mingxiu entered: "Are you satisfied with the chess pieces I sent you earlier?"
"It makes a nice sound when it's smashed."
"That's good then... eh? Smash it... did you smash it?"
Li Youyang propped up his head lazily: "Yes, it was smashed."
Xia Mingxiu was so angry that his clenched fists trembled slightly. No wonder there was no news for two days. How could there be any news after everything was destroyed?
Li Youyang added, "Your apology is sincere. I will not pursue the matter further."
