Chapter 18 Rain soaks my clothes, please have mercy, carrying me on your back is better than holding me. ...
Did this person's personality change after losing their memory?
Jiang Yu didn't know what was going on, so she carefully observed his expression and finally asked solemnly, "Can't I walk by myself?"
A long silence stretched between the two. Shen Jiuxu had no reason to refuse, after all, he was currently without a title or status, but he just didn't want to listen to the person in front of him keep babbling on and on, saying things he didn't want to hear.
Someone bent down slightly, put one arm around Jiang Yu's waist, lifted him up, and held the umbrella steadily with the other hand, walking into the rain.
Water droplets pelted the top of the umbrella, adding a touch of ambiguity to the atmosphere between the two. Jiang Yu exclaimed "Ouch!" and patted his shoulder, "Put me down, this is so embarrassing."
"no."
“I’ll carry you on my back, okay?” Jiang Yu covered her face with her hands. “Shen Qinggui, please, carrying me on your back is better than holding me in your arms.”
"Nobody's watching."
In fact, he wished the streets were sunny and crowded right now, so everyone could see his close relationship with Jiang Feiwan and no one would try to take it from him.
"There are people here, the upstairs is full of people."
After the rain, the weather became muggy, and those people couldn't come out, so they all stayed by the windows on the second and third floors to get some fresh air, giving them a clear view of what was below. Jiang Yu was furious. His current identity was still that of Sect Master Shen's "widowed husband," which, although not exactly a prestigious title, was still a strange thing if word got out.
"Then I'll hold the umbrella lower."
Shen Jiuxu glanced at it and silently lowered his hand a little. "My clothes are already wet. It would be a waste to get another set wet, and it would be uncomfortable to have them sticking to my body."
What he said made perfect sense and sounded pitiful, so Jiang Yu couldn't bear to refuse him anymore. He could only bury his face in Shen Jiuxu's chest. He was completely under Shen Jiuxu's control now, but this person had never been so... pretentious before!
Back in the courtyard, Xi Chuang and Ye Zishan kept their mouths shut, but their eyes shone with an unknown light. Shen Jiuxu pretended not to see them. He carried them through the middle of the courtyard and carried them all the way to the bed before reluctantly putting them down.
"I'll go boil some hot water for you. It wouldn't be good if you caught a cold after getting caught in the rain." Shen Jiuxu wrapped the blankets around Jiang Yu, making him look like a dough ball.
"I didn't get wet at all, you should go and take a shower first!"
Jiang Yu touched the rain-dampened strands of hair by his ear, but Shen Jiuxu acted as if he were deaf, rubbing his face against Jiang Yu's palm a few times, like an adorable child begging for candy.
"Tsk tsk tsk—"
Lian Quesheng woke up and set up a barrier on the tree. He put one leg up on it and peeked through a gap in the leaves at the tree to watch the two Daoist couple who used to be inseparable from each other pretending not to know each other!
I never realized Jiang Yu was such a good actress!
With a loud "bang," the window slammed shut, the tree branches shook violently, and the barrier broke open. The once carefree Lian Quesheng fell from the tree with a "plop," getting soaked in the rain.
"Jiang Feiwan, did you do this on purpose? Did you find out a long time ago?"
"Who gave you permission to peek?"
"You talk like nobody wants to see this, really!" Lian Quesheng covered his face and slunk away, not forgetting to call Xi Chuang over to come and apply the medicine for him.
"The water's ready, you can come and wash now." Shen Jiuxu beckoned Jiang Yu over, completely unaware of any problem. "Do you need any help?"
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yu asked him back. Why did this person look so radiant after being rained on? He looked glowing, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
"If Young Master Jiang wishes me to serve you, I will certainly do my duty without hesitation." The few green seedlings in Shen Jiuxu's head, nourished by the rain, began to grow wildly. He tried hard to suppress the impulse in his heart, but in reality, he didn't want to wait a second longer.
The things taught in books have automatically gone a hundred miles away, and they don't care about being proper or improper, or being detached or distant; they're all just empty words.
All he needs is this person in front of him.
"Next time," Jiang Yu laughed, pushing against his chest with one hand. "You can leave now."
"Are you sure you don't want it?" Shen Jiuxu looked regretful. "It doesn't cost any money. If Young Master Jiang insists on giving it to me, that's fine too."
"What's wrong with you? You weren't like this just a few days ago. I still prefer your reserved demeanor."
With the screen blocking his view, Shen Jiuxu had no choice but to take a deep breath and calm himself down. Had he really acted too hastily? It seemed like he might frighten people!
Once outside, he found a quiet corner, avoiding the gazes of the gossipy disciples. The new shoots couldn't hold back any longer and burst out forcefully, desperately sucking in the nectar. Soon, several flowers emerged.
"Stuff it in."
The buds swayed and refused, and Shen Jiuxu collapsed helplessly in the corner. He picked it up and flicked it, knowing he couldn't do anything about it anyway.
There are no guests in the deep.
Dianxing received the message. Although he didn't understand what Jiang Yu meant, he still sent a message to the people above as required. There were still a few days left until the seventh day after Shen Jiuxu's death, but the area of Shen Wuke was already full of people.
Several elders became even more unscrupulous, causing trouble one day and another the next. They had somehow heard that Jiang Yu was not in Shenwuke, and even tried to force their way into Fuyou Hall to find the sect leader's token.
"Dianxing, Elder Lian has arrived."
Dianxing looked up and saw the same worried look on the face of the person beside her. She made a plan in her mind. When Jiang Yu had just left, he had taught the two elders, Lianfeng and Liangu, a lesson. They were relatively well-behaved for the next few days, but after only two days, they were completely unrepentant.
He was just a guard, his status and position inferior to theirs, so he could only barely tolerate it. But who knew that in the past two days, they had been causing trouble more and more often.
"Go and send a message to Young Master Jiang, telling him to come back soon. Shen Wuke has been quite unsettled lately."
"yes."
The sky outside was still overcast. Shen Wuke was located deep in the mountains, and it was common for the sun not to shine during the day and the stars not to appear at night. There were very few disciples, but the sect had a profound foundation and countless rare treasures. Everyone wanted to get a share of the pie.
Although Lianfeng and Liangu were from the same school as Shen Jiuxu, they were actually quite different. Shen Jiuxu's master, Wenling Zhenren, was extremely talented, but he was lazy by nature and originally vowed to only take on one disciple, so as not to be driven to the point of vomiting blood by a bunch of brats every day.
Those two were his senior brother's illegitimate sons. Their talents and aptitudes were not exceptional. However, his senior brother died to save Wenling Zhenren and, worried that the two brothers would be left unattended, entrusted them to his only junior brother.
Shen Jiuxu was a disciple he later took in himself. After ascending to immortality, Master Wenling passed the position of sect leader to Shen Jiuxu. Lianfeng and Liangu were of average cultivation, but they had long coveted the sect's treasures. Since Shen Jiuxu was young and had not yet taken in any disciples, the two of them wanted to seize the vast sect for themselves and frequently caused trouble.
When Shen Jiuxu was still alive, he would consider their reputation and not punish them severely. Who would have thought that this would only make them more ruthless?
Dianxing sighed; today was definitely going to be another tough battle. "Elder Lian, what brings you here today?"
Without even bothering with formalities, she sat down in the very center and asked, "Where is Jiang Yu now?"
"Sect Master Shen previously instructed that we have no right to pry into Young Master Jiang's whereabouts." Dianxing politely clasped his hands in a fist salute. "If Elder Lian has anything to report to Young Master Jiang, he can naturally see Young Master Jiang a few days later during the funeral."
Lian Feng clapped his hands, and a group of disciples instantly entered from outside the door. "Dianxing, I know everything. Jiang Yu isn't here. Since you can act so arrogantly, the Sect Master's Token should be in your hands, right? Hand it over obediently, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Elder, please return. Young Master Jiang has instructed that no one is allowed to cause trouble here."
"You won't listen to reason, so get on him!" Lian Feng smiled smugly. He knew that the Star-level cultivator was powerful, but he had gathered so many people; even a one-on-one fight could wear him down.
A flash of light and shadow swept by, and a sharp, swift strike landed on a man's shoulder. Then, the sword flipped and spun, pressing the blade against Lian Feng's neck. "Elder Lian, Young Master Jiang said that we must not cause trouble here."
"you……"
Enraged, Lian Feng snatched the sword from the person beside him and thrust it straight at Dian Xing's chest. He then threw the immobilization talisman at Dian Xing, forcing him to the threshold, where blood flowed everywhere.
"I can do whatever I want. Who are you to talk about rules here? You're practically asking for death."
"If he can't talk about it, then what about me?"
