Chapter 110 Regret Returns: Young Master Jiang is a gentleman, and a gentleman has the capacity to forgive others…
"Jiang Yu".
Shen Jiuxu panicked even more. Heaven knows that the moment he ran over and saw Jiang Yu's hand fall, he even thought of his last words.
If he had known this would happen, he should have been more ruthless and stopped Jiang Yu. Even if he had to bear the infamy, he could have just given up the position of sect leader of Shen Wuke and lived a quiet life in a place where no one knew him.
The person on the bed resembled a broken butterfly; all the vibrant colors had faded, leaving only paleness and weakness. Shen Jiuxu touched his wrist and discovered signs of utter exhaustion.
The spiritual energy was channeled in, but it was blocked. Jiang Yu's body was completely unresponsive, and Shen Jiuxu tried several times to no avail. He could only look at Xian Chen, who was lying steadily on the table. Suddenly, he was stared at by a sharp gaze, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
What should I do?
Xian Chen avoided Shen Jiuxu's gaze. Jiang Yu had anticipated this scene and had specifically instructed it not to tell Shen Jiuxu, but this was truly terrifying.
It felt that Shen Jiuxu was about to break it.
Jiang Yu told me not to tell you.
"Last time Jiang Yu saved someone, he cut his own hand, and you sucked his blood." Shen Jiuxu's face was icy cold. Xian Chen had a bad feeling. It was afraid it was going to be used. If Jiang Yu woke up, wouldn't it be doomed?
Shen Jiuxu leaned down and kissed Jiang Yu's lips, then bit down hard, tasting the salty, metallic flavor in his mouth. He swallowed Jiang Yu's blood, then picked up Xian Chen and slashed his wrist with the sword.
Jiang Yu's blood mixed with Shen Jiuxu's blood, even if it was just a little, carried a natural suppressive effect on Xian Chen. It was stunned; it was truly over now.
A silver light flashed in the room, and Shen Jiuxu's spiritual power flowed into Jiang Yu's body like a spring. His pale lips, stained with blood, finally regained a touch of color, and Jiang Yu's cold skin began to warm up gradually.
Shen Jiuxu stroked his soft hair with one hand. He had long known that his Daoist partner was an extremely kind person. Even if he said harsh words, he would still save those who had once turned their swords against him.
Half an incense stick later, he remembered that Dianxing was still outside. He tucked the blanket around Jiang Yu, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he turned around, threw Xian Chen behind the door, and went out.
"Sect Master, what happened to Young Master Jiang?"
"I got a minor injury."
"Has someone arrived?" Dianxing was somewhat flustered. He hadn't expected those villagers to be able to injure Young Master Jiang; he had thought—
"The people left behind after the rescue, now that they've woken up, send someone to check on them. If they're alright, there's no need for them to come over."
"I reckon they'll want to come and thank Young Master Jiang and the Sect Master. My uncle said he was really sorry about what happened last time, and he'll feel guilty for the rest of his life if Young Master Jiang doesn't forgive them." Dianxing had already anticipated this outcome. In all of this, it seems that only Young Master Jiang was hurt.
Those ordinary people, seemingly within the circle, were actually kept outside by Young Master Jiang. They were well protected, but in turn, they harmed those standing at the forefront.
"That's fine. Now that he's better, let's not bother him. It's better for everyone to have some peace and quiet."
Shen Jiuxu didn't want to say much. Jiang Yu was seriously injured this time. Although he spoke softly, there was some truth to it. In addition, with the ghosts that returned from the Netherworld, he believed that these rumors would soon be known to everyone.
As long as Jiang Yu doesn't show up, their guilt will continue to spread. Shen Jiuxu isn't that magnanimous. He has appeared very kind in front of everyone countless times, but he is actually not a good person.
His partner suffered such serious injuries, so naturally someone had to pay the price.
"Is there still no news about Lian Quesheng?"
"We haven't found anything yet. I asked people from Xingchenque and Bailuzhou, and they all said they've never seen Young Master Lian. However, I heard that Bailuzhou seems to have taken on a disciple for Young Master Lian, but he's being raised under Xingchenque's tutelage. The disciple-acceptance ceremony is going to be held in a few days, and perhaps Young Master Lian will come out around then."
Dianxing told Shen Jiuxu everything he had learned. Shen Jiuxu nodded, showing no sign of anything amiss. Dianxing wanted to ask how badly Young Master Jiang was injured, but Shen Jiuxu waved him away.
"Dianxing, where is Young Master Jiang? Why hasn't he come out?" Gao Ye and his group from Qingyunti were waiting outside Shenwuke's gate. They had come over as soon as they saw their family members wake up.
When Gao Ye's wife woke up and saw his face, she almost beat him to death. "Did you go and cause trouble for Young Master Jiang? It's all your fault. I couldn't even lift my head when I saw Young Master Jiang down there. I told you long ago that it wasn't Young Master Jiang's fault. You old geezer, you can't do anything right, all you do is cause trouble."
The woman grabbed Gao Ye's ear and twisted it. Gao Ye begged for mercy, "This...this...this is all for you. You've been unconscious, and I'm so worried. Everyone says that there's something wrong with Young Master Jiang's talisman, so I naturally think so too."
"You believe whatever others say, but why don't you believe what I say?" the woman said angrily. "What exactly did you do to Young Master Jiang? Do you know that if Young Master Jiang hadn't personally gone down there to save us, I would have been dead?"
"I...I just stabbed him with a sword and cursed at him a few times—"
Gao Ye's voice grew lower and lower. Seeing his guilty look, the woman pushed him away. "You old bastard, you're really ruthless. No wonder Young Master Jiang looked so weak when he was fighting that King of Hell down there. It's all your doing. Did you do it on purpose? Did you just not want me to live?"
"Get out of here and apologize to Young Master Jiang. Don't come back until you get his forgiveness." The woman got out of bed and ran out barefoot without even putting on her coat.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not dressed and wearing shoes yet!"
Gao Ye touched his face, but a grin kept spreading across his face. As long as the person came back, he was willing to be Jiang Gongzi's slave.
They had been waiting for almost half an hour, but still hadn't seen Dianxing return. A large group of people squatted outside the door, all looking worried. Not to mention that they couldn't go home without Young Master Jiang's forgiveness, even if those people didn't say it, their own consciences wouldn't allow them to go home!
Thinking about the help that Young Master Jiang and Sect Leader Shen had given everyone over the past few months, and recalling how they had treated Shen Wuke these past few days, his old face instantly turned red. He wished he could go back to the past and slap his past self a few times.
"Mother, what are you doing hiding behind this tree? They won't be able to see you." Xiao Ying was pulled along by Zhou Qingnu, the tall, thick trees obscuring their figures. They were some distance from Shen Wuke's gate, but they could still clearly see the people outside.
"Young Master Jiang greeted me from downstairs, Mother. I want to go to the front to wait for Young Master Jiang." Xiao Ying was puzzled as to why Zhou Qingnu had arrived so early but hadn't gone to the front to grab a seat, or told him how wonderful Young Master Jiang was as usual, or even held his hand to prevent him from going over.
"mother."
"You're not allowed to go." When Zhou Qingnu saw Xiao Ying wake up on the bed, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. After hearing Xiao Ying say that Jiang Yu had saved them from below, she was even more at a loss as to how to face these people.
She didn't dare look into Xiaoying's eyes, afraid of seeing the disappointment in Xiaoying's eyes. Later, when she heard the commotion coming from the nearby houses, she knew that this time, Young Master Jiang had not only saved Xiaoying, but the entire Qingyun Ladder.
He saved their entire village without holding a grudge.
“Young Master Jiang wouldn’t want to see his mother, so we won’t disturb them. We’ll just stay home and pray for Young Master Jiang every day.”
"Why, Mother? Young Master Jiang clearly likes me a lot. You even told me to go to Shen Wuke to become Young Master Jiang's disciple, and he agreed. Why?"
Xiao Ying's young face was full of dissatisfaction and confusion. He couldn't understand why his mother was so different after he had just taken a nap.
Hearing the child's soft voice, Zhou Qingnu turned her face to the side, tears welling up in her eyes. She was about to burst into tears, but she was afraid that Xiaoying would ask, so she could only look up at the sky and forcefully hold back her tears.
"Because Mother did something wrong."
"But didn't Mother say before that Young Master Jiang is a gentleman, and a gentleman has the capacity to forgive others, so he will forgive Mother, won't he?"
Xiao Ying tugged at Zhou Qingnu's arm. He was a child with an excellent memory and always remembered what Zhou Qingnu said. "Mother also said that if you admit your mistakes, you should correct them. Since Mother made a mistake, then apologize to Young Master Jiang. Before, when Xiao Ying did something wrong, as long as he apologized to Mother, Mother forgave him, right?"
“That’s different. You are my child, and I will love you no matter what. But Young Master Jiang is not. He has nothing to do with us.” Zhou Qingnu hugged Xiaoying, and finally couldn’t hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
Mother cried.
Xiao Ying felt the coolness of the tears on his neck. His collar was sticking to his body, wet and uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything or ask Zhou Qingnu any more questions.
His mother never cried in front of him.
"It's all your fault! You've been gone for so long, and Young Master Jiang still hasn't come out. He must be blaming us, which is why he's unwilling to come over." Madam Zhang slapped her husband.
Takano and the man who had just been beaten exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of misfortune. "Hey, isn't that Dot Star? Brother Takano, take a look, isn't that your nephew?" Fortunately, the younger man on the right spotted Dot Star, and his words instantly saved many people.
"It's Dianxing, Dianxing is here."
"Where is Young Master Jiang? Dianxing, where is Young Master Jiang? Is he unwilling to see us?"
"Young Master Jiang... he's injured and still unconscious." Dianxing looked around and spotted a green hem fluttering behind a tree in the distance. "You should go back first."
"He's injured! Is Young Master Jiang seriously injured? Is he alright? Does he need someone to take care of him? We can go and take care of him," Aunt Zhang said anxiously. The others behind her echoed her sentiments.
"No need. With Sect Leader Shen here, and Young Master Jiang's injuries are quite serious, having so many people around wouldn't be good for his recovery." Dianxing turned her gaze away. She recognized the person behind the tree, but didn't say anything. With so many people around, someone would naturally tell her about Young Master Jiang.
"Young Master Jiang and Sect Master Shen probably won't be coming out for the next few months. If you need anything, just come to Shen Wuke to find me."
