Chapter 25 Tasteless Things
The three of them were chatting.
After completing the formalities in Chuanzhou Prefecture, Chang Huaijin jogged back.
"Alright, alright, Big Brother," Chang Huaijin handed the pass to Xiao Xuantong, "Shall we go into the city now to find Fifth Uncle?"
Xiao Xuantong took it and said, "Well, let's go."
Suddenly he paused again, and after a moment his expression was complicated, "Where is Cang Ling?"
Chang Huaijin slapped his head and said, "I forgot to mention it. He said he had something else to do here, so he left first. He also said thank you for taking care of me, Senior Sister."
No wonder.
Without even a greeting.
Ruan Wei nodded, "Let's find Fifth Uncle first."
Xiao Xuantong responded, and the four of them flew towards the inner city on their swords.
Suddenly someone stepped forward and stopped the four people.
The visitor was a bit shy. He was a handsome young man with an emerald flute hanging from his waist. "Please stay."
The surrounding monks stopped in their tracks to watch, expressing their admiration. It was one thing to think Ruan Wei was pretty, but it was rare to find someone as daring as him to approach and speak to a beauty, especially with the girl and her fellow disciples still around.
Being stopped for a moment, the four people from Penglai all looked puzzled.
It came just when they were about to fly their swords.
Ruan Wei couldn't help but kick Xiao Xuantong and whispered, "What's going on? Isn't flying swords prohibited in Tongzhou?"
Xiao Xuantong was kicked by her but didn't get angry, "There shouldn't be such a rule..."
His voice gradually became smaller, and he was not very firm.
Xiao Xuantong stopped his fellow apprentices and asked, "What's going on?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Ruan Wei and shouted, "I, I'm looking for... this fairy."
"I?"
Ruan Wei pointed at herself and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
The young man's face immediately flushed red, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I saw the fairy, and she is very graceful. Also, I feel somewhat familiar with her. You all seem to be here looking for someone. My surname is Ruan, and my given name is Jian Jiang. I am very familiar with this place and can help."
He spoke quietly, and everyone listened attentively.
When they heard his last name was Ruan, everyone's faces immediately became strange.
"Ruan Jianjiang? Have you heard of it?"
"Sounds familiar. Is it a branch of the Ruan family? They probably don't hang around here much."
"Only these noble family members have the courage to talk to such fairies. I would hardly have the guts to do that."
"Yes, but it would be a rare blessing if I could have a word with her."
As the discussion grew louder, Ruan Jianjiang's face turned even redder.
Ruan Wei found it a little funny.
She remembered that Ruan Jianjiang was the only son of the current head of the Ruan family and a direct disciple of the Kunyin Sect.
Her cousin.
look familiar?
Doesn't it look familiar?
You held me in your arms when I was a kid, boy.
Ruan Wei raised her eyebrows, "So, you are the eldest son of the Ruan family?"
She was interested and murmured some sentences, and every word she read out created a cohesive and intertwined atmosphere.
Ruan Jianjiang's face flushed red, and he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it's me."
Ruan Jianjiang didn't expect that this fairy actually knew him. He had been practicing under Kunyin since he was a child and had not returned to the Ruan family for a long time. This time he came back because his father sent a message to ask him to come back.
"Oh," Ruan Wei said with a smile, "I heard that the head of the Ruan family has been ill recently and is planning to pass on the throne. It's a good omen that you have returned at this time."
"Master, you are going to succeed the head of the family—"
The last sentence was full of smile.
Chang Huaijin and Wu Yu had only known Ruan Wei for a month, and the visitor's surname was Ruan. Seeing Ruan Wei's smiling face, they thought she was somewhat acquainted with this person and didn't notice anything wrong.
Only Xiao Xuantong could hear the sharpness in Ruan Wei's words.
Xiao Xuantong patted Ruan Wei's shoulder lightly.
Ruan Wei was indeed a little angry.
Her uncle killed her father and seized power until now, coveting her natural spirit. Over the years, he has suppressed her brother, the young master of the Ruan family, so much that he can't even send a communication talisman.
Ruan Wei has not been in Tongzhou these years, but that does not prevent her from asking Feng Wuya to pay more attention to her brother's news.
Feng Wuya would talk to her about the Ruan family's situation from time to time.
The head of the Ruan family has been in poor health in the past two years and has been getting worse day by day. Ruan Ruanzhi has gradually taken over most of the Ruan family's affairs and is extremely busy.
Ruan Jianjiang was shocked when he heard this, "What?! Father is ill?"
The anxious look on his face couldn't be faked.
"How could I not know? Ah, fairy, I'm sorry, but Jian Jiang must go back first to check on his father. If you can't find me in the city, you can take this jade token to the Ruan family to find me."
Although Ruan Jianjiang was in a hurry, he did not forget the help he had asked for earlier.
He took off a jade token from his waist and handed it to Ruan Wei.
Ruan Wei stared at the white palm of his hand, thought for a moment, and then gestured to Xiao Xuantong to take the jade token.
I made up my mind.
He is unaware.
Ruan Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ruan."
Her smile made Ruan Jianjiang's face, which had slightly faded, turn red again.
Ruan Jianjiang was shy but also anxious. After saying goodbye, he flew away on his magic weapon.
Chang Huaijin was puzzled. "This guy is so weird. He was the one who came forward and said he wanted to help, and he was the one who just abandoned the person and ran away. There's no logic to it."
Wu Yu said, "Humph, he just came to talk to me because I'm pretty."
Ruan Wei smiled without comment.
Xiao Xuantong widened his eyes as if he heard something ridiculous.
The four people from Penglai rose up on their swords again.
Along the way, Xiao Xuantong couldn't help but look back and observe Ruan Wei.
"What are you looking at?" Ruan Wei's voice dissipated into the wind.
Xiao Xuantong said sincerely, "I looked left and right, but I just can't see what they said about you being good-looking."
“…”
Ruan Wei rolled her eyes. "What a tasteless thing."
Although beauty cannot make a living, she still hopes to be considered a beauty in the eyes of others.
Wu Yu said, "Second."
She swore on her life that some people could say that her senior sister was not his type, but they could not deny that she was a pure beauty!
The eldest brother is really straight, not even as straight as her stubborn brother.
At least Chang Huaijin would blush when he saw Ruan Wei.
And in Xiao Xuantong's eyes, Ruan Wei's face seemed no different from anyone else's.
Ruan Wei comforted herself.
You can't argue with a bald man who shaved his head in his previous life. He hasn't even grown any wisdom in this life, and the ability to appreciate her beauty that ordinary people have must have been lost as well.
Xiao Xuantong still couldn't understand.
In his eyes, Ruan Wei was a dumpling-looking girl with two buns on her hair when she first came to the mountain. She was the bad kid who made him take the blame countless times.
