Chapter 38 Lian Chisu (Second Update) Wash them together.
Lian Quesheng squatted on the boat, looking dejected. He had only been away for a few years, and now his face was no longer useful?
Xi Chuang turned to look at him, her eyes filled with worry. Jiang Yu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Do you really think Lian Quesheng is that useless? She'll be in here in no time. Or if you're really worried, why don't you go and tell Sect Leader Lian?"
"Thank you, Young Master Jiang. I'll go find Sect Leader Lian now!"
Xi Chuang looked serious. He heard Lian Quesheng sigh heavily, and a feeling of heartache welled up inside him. "Master must be feeling very uncomfortable too. Besides, we've all come in. If we leave him alone outside, it wouldn't be good if he gets hurt in danger."
Jiang Yu: ...
It seems rather amusing that Lian Quesheng would encounter danger in this place.
"West window".
The sound came from behind, followed by a series of orderly footsteps. A woman dressed in red walked over. Her elaborate hair ornaments could not conceal her dignified and solemn face. Her face was like a silver plate, and her eyes were long and narrow. She looked to be about thirty or forty years old.
"Sect Leader Lian."
Upon seeing her, Xi Chuang quickly bowed and asked, "What brings you here?"
“Someone tried to trespass on Egret Island without a token, so of course I had to come and see for myself who dared to be so bold,” Lian Chisu said sternly.
People often say she is a decisive and efficient woman with superb swordsmanship and a clear sense of right and wrong. Jiang Yu had heard Lian Quesheng mention her before, but this was the first time they had met.
"Sect Leader Lian, seeing is believing. I have long admired your swordsmanship and have wanted to spar with you. I hope you will give me the opportunity."
"Young Master Jiang, you're too kind. I'll have my disciples prepare the venue. Whenever you're free, please feel free to come and spar," Lian Chisu said with a smile, then turned to the man beside Jiang Yu, "This must be Young Master Jiang's new Daoist partner, right?"
The moment Lian Chisu saw Shen Qinggui, a strange emotion flickered in her eyes. Although she had heard many people say that this person looked exactly like the previous Sect Master Shen, she had never actually seen him before. Seeing him today, she was truly astonished.
It turns out there are people in the world who look so alike. Are they really not the same person?
Lian Chisu, who was able to become the sect leader, was naturally not stupid. She glanced at him and Jiang Yu several times, noticing Jiang Yu's natural demeanor and actions, and understood something in her heart.
“Qinggui is a good name,” Lian Chisu said gently.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Lian. I am truly sorry to have bothered you with this visit. I am so grateful for your trouble."
"It's a small matter. There are plenty of empty rooms in Bailuzhou. It's just a matter of adding a few more chopsticks. Besides, Young Master Jiang and Sect Master Shen must have something to take care of if they come. Just let me know if you need any help."
"Mother, save me, Mother, my dear mother."
Lian Quesheng shouted from behind, taking off his outer robe, twisting it into a rope, and swinging it around in his hand. "Mother, your own son, Lian Quesheng, they don't recognize me anymore. Mother, please come over and help me explain my identity."
Lian Chisu frowned deeply. The maid beside her understood her gaze and quickly handed her a knife, saying, "Sect Leader."
"Who's shouting like that? It's outrageous!"
Lian Chisu strode over, and when Lian Quesheng saw the familiar face, he almost burst into tears. He stumbled and ran off the boat, crying, "Mother, it's me! Don't you recognize me?"
Jiang Yu chuckled behind her back.
"That family is really interesting."
“Master Lu hasn’t arrived yet. If he does, the three of them will be together, and Young Master Jiang will know that Master’s personality is largely learned from Master Lu.” Xichuang added with a smile, “Even the sect leader is usually busy with many affairs and rules, so Master is a little afraid of her.”
"mother."
Even Lian Quesheng abandoned all pretense of decency and desperately hugged Lian Chisu's leg, saying, "Mother, I was wrong. I was wrong for running away without leaving a letter for you and Father."
Lian Chisu's knife was stopped by his fingers, and he stealthily moved it to the side. "I've returned after completing my studies, haven't I? The masters and elders of Xingchenque have treated me very well. By combining the strengths of various schools, we can better develop Bailuzhou, right?"
"Get up now, what kind of look is it to be kneeling on the ground?"
Although Lian Chisu was angry, she had long since adjusted herself over the years; otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed Xi Chuang to go to Xingchen Que.
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
After returning to the hall, the group got down to business. "Mother, have any people from our White Egret Island successfully ascended to immortality in recent years?"
"No, why ask this?" Lian Chisu asked, puzzled. "In recent years, Bailuzhou has been declining, but few of the other immortal sects have successfully ascended. Young Master Jiang and Sect Master Shen are the only two I have ever seen who attracted ascension lightning."
“Those not found in the Book of Life and Death are not necessarily immortals.” Jiang Yu pondered for a while. “Sect Leader Lian, I wonder if there is a person named Huang Ning who has ever been to Bailuzhou? Where is he now? Could you please tell me?”
"Huang Ning?" Lian Chisu really didn't recognize the name.
"Sect Leader, I sent someone to inquire, and there is indeed a girl named Huang Ning in Bailuzhou, but she is only eight months old and was just born." The female disciple beside Lian Chisu said slowly, "Besides her, there is no one else."
"Young Master Jiang, you heard everything, is this the Huang Ning you're looking for?"
The room was brightly lit by various luminous pearls, which illuminated Jiang Yu's face. His clear features gave Lian Chisu a sense of familiarity; she seemed to have seen a similar face on someone else before.
"No, thank you very much, Sect Leader Lian."
Seeing that things had not gone well and that it was already dark outside, Lian Chisu immediately held a banquet and invited them. Jiang Yu could not refuse, and Lian Quesheng winked at him, clearly wanting him to attend, so he agreed.
The banquet at Bailuzhou was very lively. Jiang Yu and Shen Qinggui were seated at the same table, while Lian Quesheng and Xi Chuang sat together. He originally had his own table, but he couldn't stand seeing Jiang Yu and the others sitting like this, so he insisted on squeezing in with Xi Chuang.
Jiang Yu looked at the various dishes on the table, scooped up some fish soup with a spoon, and held it to Shen Qinggui's lips, "Try this."
"It tastes great."
Shen Qinggui looked at the row of soups and broths in front of him and wanted to laugh. Ever since Jiang Yu found out that he was a tree, he had been trying all sorts of ways to make him drink water.
"I'm full."
Shen Qinggui put a hand on Jiang Yu's shoulder, "Are you so worried that I'll dry out?"
"Yes, so drink more water." Jiang Yu saw Lian Chisu walking over and, without paying attention to what he was holding, simply handed him the cup.
"Young Master Jiang, I've never heard Quesheng mention you before. With such a handsome appearance, you must be from a place blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery." Lian Chisu suppressed her thoughts and deliberately took a wine cup and walked up to him.
"Sect Leader Lian is too kind to me. Jiang Yu grew up in the deep mountains near Broken Stone Spring. The people around him just called it a barren mountain, and it didn't have any special name."
"The barren mountain beside Broken Stone Spring?"
Lian Chisu had never heard of this name before. She had assumed that such a talented young man must come from a prestigious family, but it turned out to be just a nobody from a small, unknown place.
"That must be because Young Master Jiang's parents raised you well, unlike our Quesheng, who was spoiled since childhood and would do all sorts of petty theft."
"I have no parents. I was raised by my grandfather." Jiang Yu knew perfectly well that he was involved in all the petty thefts and thievery that Lian Quesheng did, and he even took him to most of them. But he didn't dare to say it to Lian Chisu.
"I apologize for my intrusion."
Lian Chisu took a small sip of wine, putting aside her suspicions. If he were truly the son of an old friend, he probably wouldn't be living on a desolate mountain.
"This wine is a unique specialty of our Egret Island. It is mellow and sweet on the palate. Young Master Jiang, please try it. If you like it, I will send some over to you with my disciples."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Lian."
Jiang Yu picked up his wine glass and took a small sip. Lian Chisu then said, "This wine has a strong aftereffect; drinking too much will easily make you drunk. It all depends on Young Master Jiang's alcohol tolerance."
"Where is Sect Leader Shen?"
Lian Chisu glanced around and saw that the seat to Jiang Yu's right was empty. Jiang Yu was about to say that he was right next to her when he turned his head and saw that there was only a branch on the seat, and the rich aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of flowers wafted over.
Jiang Yu smiled awkwardly, then realized, "He... was drunk, he probably went out to sober up."
He tugged at the corner of his shirt to cover the flower, lest a few more buds suddenly sprout, which would probably scare everyone present.
Fortunately, Lian Chisu didn't pay attention to this and went to talk to Xichuang again. Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to secretly touch the trembling flower. "Why did it turn back to its original form? Are you drunk?"
The branch didn't speak, but just rubbed against his hand, adding a touch of rouge to the pink petals. Jiang Yu could tell that he was really drunk, so he made an excuse to take Shen Jiuxu back to the house first.
Steam rose from the branches. Jiang Yu found a wooden bucket, filled it with cool water, threw the branches in, and then used a wooden ladle to pour water over them. "Is it still hot?"
Half an incense stick later, the branches rattled wildly in the bucket, splashing water all over Jiang Yu. His thick black hair clung to his ears, and large water droplets slid down his high nose.
"Let's wash together."
Jiang Yu looked at Shen Jiuxu, who had somehow regained his human form. Shen Jiuxu's face was still flushed, his hair was loose behind him, and his fragrance was exceptionally strong and alluring.
"The bucket is too small."
Jiang Yu bit his lip, hesitated for a moment before coming up with a plausible excuse. Looking at the wooden bucket in front of him, which could obviously still fit another person, he felt that he was talking nonsense.
"Not small."
Shen Qinggui reached out and pulled the man close, his lips close to his ear as he whispered hoarsely, "Are you drunk?"
"I'm not drunk, I only had a small sip."
Jiang Yu couldn't stretch his legs out, so he was almost completely pressed against Shen Jiuxu. His face was red, and listening to the rushing water, he simply covered his ears with his hands.
Shen Qinggui grabbed his arm. "Doesn't this sound nice?"
"You're so annoying." Jiang Yu was feeling extremely uncomfortable. "This place is too small. Let's go back to bed."
"who I am?"
Shen Qinggui kept pestering him, and Jiang Yu couldn't take it anymore. Unfortunately, this wasn't the Fuyou Palace; other disciples lived in the surrounding rooms. He was extremely nervous and didn't dare to make a sound. He moved his lips and said, "Go to bed."
"Call me."
"There are people outside." Jiang Yu heard footsteps outside and guessed that the banquet had ended and the disciples had returned.
Shen Qinggui picked him up and chuckled, "Keep your voice down."
