Chapter 70 Chapter 70 I don’t want it anymore…
"You...you don't want me to do it?" Mu Jiulin repeated these words blankly.
Ye Nanque didn't want him to do anything? Was it because... he was really angry and wanted to abandon him, so he didn't care at all? No, this couldn't happen...
Somehow, Mu Jiulin's eyes became distracted, and Ye Nanque felt that he had guessed what he was thinking.
What else can this kid Mu Jiulin think about! Every day, all he thinks about is whether his senior brother loves him or not, and whether his senior brother wants him or not!
Mu Jiulin, Mu Jiulin, if he were to live in modern times like this, he would be accused of being lovesick!
Watching the red mark slowly appear on Mu Jiulin's face, Ye Nanque said coldly, "This slap is because you despised my sincerity."
Without waiting for the other party to react, Ye Nanque's five fingers moved like wind as he slapped him again, his face cold: "This slap is because you lied to me."
And look at him making such a fool of himself! This is intolerable!
After these two slaps, Mu Jiulin was already a little discouraged. His eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past, and the boyish heart that was so excited just two days ago seemed to have sunk.
He just stared straight into Ye Nanque's eyes, unable to move an inch. Seeing Ye Nanque stop, he offered the other half of his face forward and said, "Brother, if you're not satisfied, hit me again."
Ye Nanque shook his numb hands, too angry to know what to say: "Do you think I'm doing this for my own enjoyment? Did you listen to what I said..."
Forget it, it looks like it’s definitely gone.
This kid is really stubborn!
System: [Don't let him enjoy it.]
Ye Nanque: [Who knows!]
System: [Don't reward him anymore!]
Ye Nanque: [...Brother Tong, you've learned a lot of new things recently.]
Ye Nanque was really helpless with Mu Jiulin and was about to sigh when Mu Jiulin saw that his attitude had softened a little and immediately took advantage of the situation by kneeling forward and grabbing Ye Nanque's wrist, trying to hit him in the face.
Ye Nanque: "What are you doing!"
Mu Jiulin: "I think Senior Brother may be tired from fighting, so please don't bother me, I'll do it myself."
The only one who acts so ungratefully and still thinks he has gotten the better of someone is probably Mu Jiulin.
Ye Nanque was furious, thinking that if Mu Jiulin wanted to fight, then let him. He also wanted to see how far Mu Jiulin could go. Just as he was thinking this, his palm suddenly felt warm. Mu Jiulin transferred spiritual energy to his palm, gathering enough strength, and struck down with a palm, enough to make the corner of his mouth bleed. Warm blood flowed out. He whispered, "Is this okay? Will this make Senior Brother calm down?"
Ye Nanque frowned: "What are you doing? A trick to inflict pain on yourself? Mu Jiulin, you use all your tricks on me every day."
"Brother, you are wrong. All my thoughts are on you. As for the scheming you mentioned, if wanting to keep your beloved can be considered scheming, then so be it."
Ye Nanque sneered: "What a powerful tongue! Where did you learn such sophistry?"
Mu Jiulin: "I love my senior brother, but he wants to abandon me, so I can't help but say something inappropriate."
Ye Nanque asked, "When did I ever say I would abandon you?"
Mu Jiulin's eyes lit up and his eyelashes trembled lightly. When he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. There was another person outside the house with a sharp sword energy, which swept over and split the door of the wooden house open. He saw the intimacy of the two people.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Mu Jiulin said in a low voice: "It's you again."
Who else could it be? Of course it’s Jiang Caiyu.
But Jiang Caiyu at this moment looked different from before. Her eyes were bloodshot and she had a murderous aura around her. There was no trace of her immortal appearance from before!
Jiang Caiyu's cold voice reached their ears: "Let him go."
Mu Jiulin sneered: "Are you qualified to interfere in the matter between me and my senior brother?"
He stood up and Hengshui automatically flew into his hands.
Ye Nanque was worried that the two would start fighting again. Regardless of the pain in his ankle, he hurriedly stood up and grabbed Mu Jiulin: "I'll explain to Master."
He walked past Mu Jiulin and walked out, but was grabbed by Mu Jiulin's hand again. Mu Jiulin opened his eyes wide and said, "Brother, you can't go with him. He also lied to you. He is not a good person either!"
You also know how to use "也"!
Ye Nanque glared at him and emphasized again, "I'll handle this matter. If you leave this cabin without my permission, you'll never see me again."
Just these two sentences frightened Mu Jiulin, the top cultivation master in Jiuzhou, so much so that he could only stay in the small space of the wooden house.
Ye Nanque walked out of the wooden house and bowed to Jiang Caiyu: "Master."
Jiang Caiyu said, "Come back with me."
Ye Nanque looked at him and said, "Master, are you not going to apologize to me? You lied to me during those days at Lianjiaqiao."
Jiang Caiyu looked at him without answering. It seemed that she really had no apology towards him.
Ye Nanque felt a little disappointed, but he still tried his best to maintain his dignity. "Master, I will not go back with you. Ah Lin is poisoned by the rot grass, and I need to go to the Holy Medical Sect with him. Besides, I also need some time before I can face you. Master, you... please go back."
Something panic flashed across Jiang Caiyu's expression. He took a few steps forward, and the murderous aura slowly subsided: "Come back with me."
Ye Nanque shook his head: "Master, why do you have to force me?"
For the first time, Jiang Caiyu hated himself so much for not being able to express himself. He had so much to say. He wanted to say that he would treat him better, better than Mu Jiulin had ever treated him. He wanted to say that he was truly unapologetic and had no regrets at all. If it weren't for those lies, he wouldn't have had that precious time alone with Ye Nanque. He wanted to say that they had been together for over ten years, and their friendship couldn't possibly be stronger than that of Mu Jiulin...
There are so many words stuck in my throat, but I just can't say them.
He hated himself, hated that he was not as eloquent as Mu Jiulin, hated that he could not please people with a smile like Mu Jiulin. He... he could not do anything except practicing sword.
Jiang Caiyu struggled for a long time, then took out a doll from her waist and stretched it towards Ye Nanque: "If you like it, come back with me, okay?"
Ye Nanque looked down, and the events at Lianjia Bridge resurfaced before his eyes. Jiang Caiyu...why had she lied to him? What did he mean by the words, "From now on, it's just you and me. I won't look at anyone else," that he heard before fainting in the secret passage?
Ye Nanque didn't dare to delve into it and could only pretend not to know. Perhaps this was a kind of self-deception, but it was better than not even having a master-disciple relationship.
Naturally, he didn't reach out to take the doll.
Jiang Caiyu tried to move her hand forward, and pulled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a weird smile.
Ye Nanque was too familiar with Jiang Caiyu and knew that even such a small gesture was a deliberate attempt to please him.
How could Jiang Caiyu be like this... Jiang Caiyu shouldn't be like this!
Ye Nanque was flustered and didn't dare to look. She turned away hastily, no longer making eye contact with him: "I already... I don't want it anymore. Master, please keep it for yourself."
"I don't want it anymore." Jiang Caiyu repeated what he said. His voice was very low, but he still heard it.
I don’t want the doll anymore, and I don’t want his attention, his favor, his preference... that I once longed for so much... either.
Why can people change so quickly?
He stared at Ye Nanque, who, as if feeling guilty, looked elsewhere. He tried to see Ye Nanque clearly, to see what was going on in his heart. But his eyes couldn't see into the heart, and no matter how hard he tried, he could only pick up on minor details that others wouldn't notice.
For example, the red marks on Ye Nanque's neck.
Although he had covered it with his collar, a little was still exposed. Jiang Caiyu had never experienced it, but that didn't mean he didn't know. He knew what those things were.
And it was precisely because he knew that he felt... so angry.
Rage burned away his rationality. Jiang Caiyu lowered his head and suddenly smiled: "He killed you in exchange for a good name known throughout the world. Even so, do you still want to be with him?"
Ye Nanque explained feebly, "What happened that day was my fault after all. There are many things I cannot tell Master one by one. I only know that Ah Lin's heart towards me is genuine."
Jiang Caiyu put away his sword, stood still and said, "You are wrong now, Nanque."
Ye Nanque was puzzled as to why Jiang Caiyu said this. Seeing Jiang Caiyu raise her eyelids and look at Mu Jiulin in the wooden house, she said, "He is just a villain, a scheming villain since childhood. He did not stand by your side during the Battle of Hengshui, and now he can only live with you in this deserted place. If one day you have to make a choice, no matter how deeply he loves you today, he will abandon you one day because of the gossip of the world."
Ye Nanque said: "I won't let him make that choice."
There was a hint of arrogance on Jiang Caiyu's usually cold face. Ye Nanque's protection of Mu Jiulin made him feel unprecedented jealousy and unwillingness in his heart. He raised his chin, as if doing so would make him look less pitiful.
"You are wrong, Nanque," he repeated firmly.
Only he, only he would always stand by Ye Nanque.
The confrontation ended unpleasantly, and Jiang Caiyu went down the mountain with his sword on his back in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Ye Nanque looked for a while, then turned back to the wooden house. Before he could stand still, Mu Jiulin came up to him and said, "Brother, I haven't even taken a single step out of our home."
Even though he wanted to tear Jiang Caiyu to pieces just by looking at her, he would never let Ye Nanque see this side of him.
In front of Ye Nanque, he just wanted to be the most caring and obedient junior brother forever.
Mu Jiulin's eyes were full of innocence: "I did a good job, didn't I? I will do whatever my senior brother says."
Ye Nanque's mind was a little confused, and he nodded casually: "Yeah."
Thinking of the unpleasant things Jiang Caiyu had said just now, he said tactfully, "Don't take what Master said just now to heart. I know you are not that kind of person."
Mu Jiulin's eyes moved slightly, looking from Ye Nanque's left eye to his right eye, and said, "I don't care about what he said at all, but what did Senior Brother mean when he said before that he never thought of abandoning me?"
Asking despite knowing the answer! This is a blatant question asking despite knowing the answer! Ye Nanque didn't believe that Mu Jiulin didn't understand what he meant, but just wanted to trick him into saying it again.
Ye Nanque raised his hand and slapped Mu Jiulin on the head: "Pack your things, let's go to the Holy Medical Sect."
