Chapter 98 World Four (End)
Qu Linglong lowered her head, gazing at the vast expanse of snow. Her ears twitched as she heard gentle footsteps approaching her. A surge of joy welled up in her: Even if Senior Brother were to leave Yunning Peak, he wouldn't abandon her. After all, they had been brothers and sisters for decades.
When Qu Linglong came to chase Xie Wenying just now, she was in such a hurry that she didn't even notice the red-tailed phoenix pearl hairpin in her hair falling into the snow. She only knew that her tangled thoughts gradually became clear.
On Yunning Peak, Xie Wenying meticulously taught her swordsmanship, and brought her hairpins when he came down the mountain... Qu Linglong remembered every expression, stern or gentle and indifferent. Qu Linglong knew Xie Wenying was alone, and Yunning Peak was his home, a place he felt at home. But now, Xie Wenying had abandoned Yunning Peak, empty-handed, just like the day he first arrived, armed only with a longsword. The only difference was that he wanted to take that delicate woman with him.
Qu Linglong clenched her hands, resting on the hem of her skirt, as forgotten memories, mixed with surging emotions, surged towards her. Qu Linglong didn't understand this emotion, only that she didn't want Xie Wenying to leave.
She always followed her heart, doing whatever she wanted. She had hurried over here because she wanted Xie Wenying to stay at Yunning Peak. Qu Linglong thought to herself that in the past, as long as she obsessed over her senior brother, she would always get what she wanted. This time, she would definitely be able to do the same.
But Qu Linglong completely forgot that when Xie Wenying was being criticized by thousands of people, she remained silent and stood with those disciples who accused Xie Wenying.
Qu Linglong couldn't think of any brilliant way to clear Xie Wenying's name.
She was just like a child who was used to being spoiled. She didn't want Xie Wenying to leave, so she spoke rashly, completely disregarding the consequences of Xie Wenying continuing to stay in Yunning Peak.
His footsteps stopped in front of Qu Linglong. She raised her head, but before she could say "senior brother", her eyes widened when she saw who was coming.
——How could it be a treasure fan?
Baoshan's snow-white fur coat was stained with a few bloodstains, just like a red plum blossom in the snow, and the person surrounded by the fur coat seemed to be made of ice and snow, crystal clear.
The bloodstains were naturally not from the precious fan, but from the red marks on Xie Wenying's back after he was whipped sixteen times.
The annoying red color irritated Qu Linglong from time to time. She looked away rather embarrassedly and looked at the gentle treasure fan in front of her.
In the snowy world, she was dressed in snow-white clothes, her body was slender and weak, and her hair fell softly on both sides of her shoulders, like a fairy in the snow, which was very captivating.
Baoshan leaned forward slightly and extended her soft hand to Qu Linglong.
Because of the cold, her slender fingertips were tinged with pink.
Seeing that Qu Linglong did not extend her hand, her eyes, as clear as a spring, trembled slightly, and her pale face was full of confusion.
"exquisite?"
Baoshan called out softly, signaling Qu Linglong to take her hand so that she could stand up from the snow.
There was no way Qu Linglong would hold Bao Shan's hand. She thought the person who came to save her should be Xie Wenying.
Qu Linglong turned sideways and looked at Xie Wenying who was watching coldly not far away. When she met Xie Wenying's gaze as cold as frost and snow, her surging emotions were instantly extinguished.
Qu Linglong thought that such a look would never fall on her.
But even so, Qu Linglong still refused to accept the help of the treasure fan.
She supported herself on the ground with her palms and staggered to stand up. The snow under her feet was slippery, and Qu Linglong was standing so anxiously that she was about to fall.
There was a glint of worry in Baoshan's dark and gentle eyes, and he hurried to support her.
Qu Linglong managed to steady herself, and treated Baoshan's advances with a cold expression, clapping her delicate hands vigorously as if she were stained by something filthy.
Baoshan's face was covered with wounds, and the biting cold wind could not withstand the cold and malicious attitude of the person in front of him.
With a warm embrace, he held the dejected Bao Shan in his arms, and said in a cold tone: "Why bother with her?"
Qu Linglong's eyes widened, unable to believe that Xie Wenying was unwilling to even call her "Junior Sister" and instead stood on Baoshan's side, acting as Baoshan's support.
The precious fan, held in the broad chest, revealed a timid little face with its lips opening and closing.
Although no sound was made, it was enough for Qu Linglong to see the lip movements clearly.
"Ignorant fool."
Qu Linglong was shocked and furious. She couldn't help but yell, "Big Brother, she's two-faced..."
Qu Linglong said this and rushed towards Baoshan. She had already understood at this time that the so-called frail and pitiful, weak and fragile woman was all a disguise. Baoshan had ulterior motives and it must be her who had used a trick to alienate Xie Wenying from her.
But before she could utter any insults, Qu Linglong felt her meridians blocked and she couldn't utter a single word.
She lunged forward, but Xie Wenying waved her wide sleeves and she fell back into the snow.
Since he had severed ties with Yun Ningfeng, Xie Wenying's attitude towards Yun Ningfeng's disciples was no different from that of ordinary people in the secular world.
Xie Wenying was once secretly worried about Qu Linglong. She wondered why the cute and lively little sister had become so confused about good and evil and acted so arrogantly.
But now, his heart is as cold as ice, and he no longer needs to worry about these things.
Xie Wenying blocked Qu Linglong's meridians, making her unable to speak, in order to remind Qu Linglong to be careful with her words and not to hurt others with bad words.
Xie Wenying held the treasure fan tightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and walked forward with her.
Behind them was Qu Linglong, whose heart was dead and her eyes were confused. She didn't know what she had done wrong to end up in this situation.
Snow was falling from the sky, and the crystal snowflakes landed on Xie Wenying's shoulders.
Treasure Fan gently brushed away the cold for him. The coldness from her fingertips made her shiver. Looking at the heavy snow, she whispered, "When I came to Yun Ning Peak, it was snowing just like this."
I never thought that when I left, it would be snowing all over the sky.
Baoshan stretched out her bare hand and tentatively hooked Xie Wenying's palm, touching their fingertips carefully, for fear of causing Xie Wenying's dissatisfaction.
Xie Wenying did not have the delicate mind of Baoshan. He held it with his backhand and gathered the soft hand as soft as a snow ball in his palm.
Baoshan's cheeks flushed, and she moved closer to Xie Wenying, the two of them almost inseparable. She looked at the dancing snowflakes and spoke softly.
"Brother Wenying, I am very happy."
Xie Wenying responded to her: "Yeah."
Baoshan's voice gradually grew weaker: "I thought that when I left Yunning Peak again, I would be alone.
I am truly delighted to be able to leave with Senior Brother Wenying."
A girl's feelings are just like this, without any reason. Just one action or one scene can trigger endless feelings.
Although Xie Wenying didn't understand, he held Baoshan's hand, feeling more intimate and warm.
The road down from Yunning Peak was very long, and Baoshan told Xie Wenying some little things in a soft voice.
She went to find Baiwei and asked him if he would like to go down the mountain with her.
After all, Baiwei took a risk by bringing the treasure fan into the hall. If he continued to stay in Yunning Peak, he might be punished.
But Baiwei refused. Being shy by nature, he expressed his confusion for the first time, even though he had a good relationship with Yun Ningfeng.
Although the disciples all have their own thoughts, they all want to master martial arts.
Why did he suddenly become so angry and target the eldest brother?
But Baiwei still wants to stay in Yunning Peak. He will feel safe here.
Baiwei's cheeks flushed at Baoshan's worry. He told her not to worry, saying he had already asked to leave the kitchen and stay at the Cliff of Repentance. Baoshan had been to the Cliff before, and it was cold and lonely. After a moment's thought, Baoshan left his donkey to Baiwei, so that he could have some company.
Although Ye Muya appeared cold and indifferent, she was soft-hearted. Knowing that Baoshan might never return after leaving Yunning Peak, she picked a lot of scarlet fruits and asked Baoshan to take them down the mountain...
Bao Shan spoke carefully, and even though Xie Wenying did not respond, looking at her gentle eyes, Bao Shan knew that Xie Wenying was listening carefully and taking it to heart.
The two came to a nearby town. After Xie Wenying placed the treasure fan in the guest room, he went out early and came back late, and was often nowhere to be seen.
The night was as thick as ink. Baoshan heard a slight sound, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes were hazy as she saw the snow particles that were not cleaned off Xie Wenying's body.
Although the two of them lived in the same guest room, Xie Wenying was not anxious and held Bao Shan in her hand to enjoy the pleasure of love.
According to Baoshan, Xie Wenying let the two of them live together because he was more concerned about Baoshan's safety.
After all, Baoshan has a delicate body, and if she is targeted by someone with bad intentions, she will inevitably be frightened.
Living in the same house with Xie Wenying, Xie Wenying's hostility will deter those who are ready to make trouble.
But Xie Wenying avoided him like this, and the time they met was very few, which made him feel uneasy: Could it be that everything Xie Wenying said in the Yunning Peak Hall that day was just an excuse?
He didn't want to marry her out of deep affection, but because he had become close to Bao Shan and had no choice but to do so for various reasons.
This is not what Baoshan wants. Responsibility is as thin as paper, and it depends entirely on one's own heart to achieve any results.
If one's mindset changes, one can always forget about the so-called responsibilities.
What Baoshan wants is Xie Wenying's love that goes deep into her bones, so that it can last forever.
Baoshan called softly, "Senior Brother Wenying..."
Xie Wenying's body stiffened slightly. Before she could speak, she heard the girl on the bed complaining coquettishly, "Are you dreaming? Only in dreams can I see Senior Brother Wenying..."
Xie Wenying gently stroked the white cheek, which was as smooth and alluring as the finest white jade. He said in a deep voice, "It will be over soon."
Baoshan quickly understood what he meant by "finish." On Yunning Peak, Baiweihui secretly communicated with Baoshan.
As the letter said, the truth behind the attack on Yunning Peak was revealed. It turned out that it was not done by the eldest brother, but was secretly planned by Bai Jiqing.
Bai Jiqing planned everything, but in the end, Xie Wenying caught him and all his plans went to waste.
Many of Yun Ning Peak's disciples had received Bai Jiqing's "favors," whether it was a piece of cloth, round pearls, or silk boots...
Those objects were all filled with secret medicines that could disturb people's minds and arouse the deepest malice in their hearts.
Bai Jiqing's conspiracy was discovered, and he handed over the antidote, which cured the poison in the injured disciples.
According to the sect's rules, Bai Jiqing's martial arts skills were crippled and he was imprisoned in a water dungeon, awaiting punishment.
However, Bai Jiqing still had contact with someone in the secular world. That person rescued him and he returned to the secular world to live.
Bao Shan thought that Bai Jiqing must have come from a powerful family in the secular world. Without martial arts, he no longer had any advantages in the secular world. He had to face attacks and unpredictable schemes all day long, and he certainly had no peace of mind.
Baiwei said in the letter that after this incident, many disciples of Yunning Peak were shocked.
After all, although it was Bai Jiqing who instigated the malice, it was ultimately because of their weak character that they wronged Xie Wenying.
All the disciples put aside all distractions and only focused on improving their martial arts without thinking about anything else.
The master left Yun Ning Peak and went down the mountain to travel around the world, handing over the position of acting head to Ye Muya...
Baoshan put the letter away, looked at Xie Wenying who no longer went out early and came back late, and gently threw herself into his arms.
Xie Wenying checked out of the guest room and came to the river with the treasure fan. There was a pleasure boat parked there. Even the wooden windows were hollowed out and carved, which was extremely elegant.
Although his innocence had been proven, Xie Wenying was not planning to return to Yunning Peak.
He is unfettered by nature and acts spontaneously, so it is more suitable for him to be accompanied by mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
If Xie Wenying was alone, a small boat would be enough.
But Xie Wenying still had the precious fan, and she was so weak that how could she endure sleeping in the open air and living on a simple raft?
Xie Wenying found a pleasure boat, which was paved with silk and had everything she needed.
Seeing the exquisite interior structure of the pleasure boat, Bao Shan was naturally delighted. She snuggled into Xie Wenying's arms and stood on tiptoe to kiss Xie Wenying's jaw. Xie Wenying's body was stiff and she almost pushed Bao Shan away.
Seeing this, Baoshan stopped kissing Xie Wenying and left dejectedly.
It was obvious that Xie Wenying wanted to refuse, but when things really happened as he wished, he felt depressed and lost.
The pleasure boat set off, drifting with the current and floating on the wide river.
Across the towering mountains and the clear green water, it is like a free leaf drifting on the silent and uninhabited water.
This pleasure boat has no destination, it just keeps drifting forward along the direction of the water flow.
Xie Wenying always keeps his word and values his promises. He swore with three drops of blood that he would live and die with the treasure fan.
Bao Shan looked listless, with not much joy in her eyes. She looked at Xie Wenying with misty black eyes and spoke softly.
"Brother Wenying, you don't have to go to this extent. If you have other intentions, I'm willing to help you..."
Looking at Baoshan's expression, Xie Wenying's heart trembled, and he said in a cold voice: "This is my intention."
The oath was completed, and a thin red line appeared on Baoshan's slender white wrist, exactly the same as the one on Xie Wenying's wrist. This was the oath of living and dying together.
The life of the precious fan was extended, but its body was still as weak as before, except that its life was no longer in danger.
In the past, Xie Wenying avoided Baoshan's closeness, but now the situation is reversed, and Baoshan deliberately distances himself from Xie Wenying.
It was not until Xie Wenying saw the precious fan gently throwing the petals from several branches onto the water that she looked at the falling flowers gradually drifting away, her expression extremely lonely.
Although Xie Wenying is dull, she also knows that fallen flowers express love.
In an instant, a surging fire burned fiercely in Xie Wenying's dantian - they were each other's companions, but who was Baoshan thinking of? Thinking back to the day they swore, Baoshan's hesitation to speak, Xie Wenying seemed to understand something.
Could it be that Baoshan has a lover and is deliberately distancing herself from him?
Her palms were firmly restrained, and her lips, as delicate as flowers, were blocked by Xie Wenying's extremely hot kiss.
Xie Wenying was like a wolf with deep eyes in the jungle, wanting to swallow the weak and pitiful little beast Baoshan into his stomach and savor it carefully.
Cold is the coldness of wearing thin clothes and exposing skin.
The heat is so intense that skin touches skin, clothes intertwine, there is no barrier, it is enough to melt into the warmth.
The pleasure boat seemed to be hit by a sudden wave, swaying gently for a long time.
On the vast river, an exquisitely crafted pleasure boat swayed from side to side and rose and fell.
The rubbing of ears and temples on the bed made one blush. The fan, with its pink hue, was like a juicy peach, white with a hint of pink, delicate and charming.
It tastes sweet, quenches thirst, and makes people linger.
When the beauty frowns, a beautiful color appears between her dark eyebrows, which is enough to make people's hearts soften.
What's more, the bright color is caused by myself.
It was clearly early spring and the chill had subsided a bit, but thin beads of sweat appeared between Baoshan's hair, entangled her hair with Qing's hair and Xie Wenying's hair, making them inseparable.
Listening to Xie Wenying's harsh questioning, she asked who her lover was.
Bao Shan didn't have time to think about why Xie Wenying, who was so gentle to her, had red eyes. Bao Shan was full of grievances and complained timidly, "Brother Wenying is bullying me. It's obvious that you have someone in your heart and don't want to get close to me.
I'm already Senior Brother Wenying's lover, so why would I have someone else to love? If you want to drive me away, why bother making up these excuses..."
The soft sobbing had no deterrent power at all. But it was enough to make Xie Wenying feel uneasy. The scarlet at the corners of his eyes gradually faded, and he coaxed Baoshan stiffly.
"I, I'll change."
Baoshan then stopped crying and leaned over to say something in Xie Wenying's ear.
Xie Wenying's body suddenly stiffened, and she subconsciously refused: "No, you are weak, how can you not have sex all night... Besides, it would be uncomfortable..."
Baoshan hummed softly, turned around gently, and faced Xie Wenying with only her snow-white and delicate back.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time before Xie Wenying agreed in a deep voice.
Since that day of closeness, Xie Wenying has indeed changed.
He would take the initiative to put his arms around Baoshan's waist and place soft and dense kisses on her white porcelain cheeks.
Occasionally, he would change his gentle and measured attitude towards Baoshan and become violent and would not stop even if Baoshan's voice became hoarse.
His consciousness faded with the rise and fall of the pleasure boat. The treasured fan wrapped around Xie Wenying's neck, and he asked softly, "Brother Wenying, how did you get rid of the inner demon that was growing?"
Xie Wenying did not answer, but just kissed Baoshan's earlobe, which made her body go limp.
"Brother Wenying, sometimes you're very gentle, but sometimes, like now, you're rude and unreasonable, and very fierce..."
Xie Wenying's eyes turned red, and her voice became deep: "So which one do you like, the gentle one or the domineering one?"
Baoshan thought Xie Wenying was weird. Aren't they all him? Why should they be ranked?
So Baoshan hugged Xie Wenying's broad and strong back tightly, and her voice seemed to be mixed with sugar.
"I like them all, because he's Senior Brother Wenying..."
Xie Wenying was obviously not satisfied with this answer. Her eyes alternated between black and red, and she held the treasure fan tightly.
