Chapter 34 I am yours!
Xuanfeng looked out from the crowd at Su Yuyao's back and said, "The ten mountain peaks in the southwest haven't been discussed yet, but I have made it clear that the four mountain peaks in the north and the two mountain peaks in the hinterland are not within the scope of the dispute. Although they have not agreed, the King of the Monument has already begun to waver."
"There really is no result..."
"Hahahaha," Qimen said, stroking his beard and laughing, "It wasn't an easy thing to begin with, so how could there be a result so quickly!"
Fearing that Xuan Feng would discover her little purse, Su Yuyao carefully packed the small bundle and carried it on her back.
Xuanfeng pushed through the crowd and walked behind Su Yuyao. "Girl, what are you doing?"
Su Yuyao was startled, then turned around and said with a smile, "Hehe, I didn't do anything..."
Xuanfeng frowned, looked at the suddenly heavy little bundle, and asked, "What's inside?"
"It's nothing..." Su Yuyao lowered her head to protect the small bundle behind her, not daring to look Xuanfeng in the eye.
The others immediately understood and quickly changed the subject, "Sir! It's getting late. We've come all this way, how about we find a tavern and have a drink?"
"Look at what you're saying! This is a sacred mountain! Do you think this is Huangshang City? You think you can just drink it like that?"
"Huang Shangcheng really had a great time drinking those few days!"
"Not only is it exhilarating, it's also very interesting... cough cough." The person who was speaking was kicked and had no choice but to shut up awkwardly.
Xuanfeng stared at Su Yuyao without saying a word.
Su Yuyao glanced at Xuanfeng's expression and knew she hadn't hidden anything from him. She sighed, pursed her lips, took off her small bundle, pulled out a small purse, and presented it to Xuanfeng with both hands, whispering, "I didn't take more... I won't dare do it again... Please forgive me this time..."
Xuanfeng glanced at Su Yuyao's bulging little purse, then looked at her two small cheeks peeking out as she lowered her head and her pouting lips, and couldn't help but laugh.
Su Yuyao looked up at Xuanfeng in confusion, only to see Xuanfeng touch his waist, then reach into his inner pocket, and finally turn around and reach out to Qimen.
Qi Men smiled and took out a copper coin and placed it in Xuan Feng's hand. Xuan Feng then stuffed the copper coin into Su Yu Yao's small purse.
“I just asked a question too,” Xuanfeng said with a smile.
Seeing that Xuan Feng couldn't even produce a single copper coin, Su Yuyao asked sympathetically, "You don't even have a single copper coin?"
"Huh? Oh, I don't usually wear..." Before Xuan Feng could finish speaking, Su Yuyao grabbed his belt. "Girl, what are you doing?!"
With tears in her eyes, Su Yuyao awkwardly tied her small purse to Xuanfeng's belt.
"You are the lord of the immortal mountain, how can you be penniless?! You can use this money for now!" Su Yuyao wiped away her tears with her sleeve, tilted her head back, and pouted at Xuanfeng, saying, "When the money runs out, I'll find another opportunity to earn it for you!"
Everyone covered their mouths, trying not to laugh, and looked at Xuanfeng.
"Are you willing to do that?" Xuanfeng asked, both amused and exasperated.
Su Yuyao tugged at the small pouch at Xuanfeng's waist, making sure it was tied tightly before letting go. She looked up at Xuanfeng and said, "Even I am yours, so my money is naturally your money. What is there for me to be reluctant about?"
"Girl... what... what did you say?" Xuanfeng asked incredulously, "What do you mean, even you are mine?"
"You're supporting me, so aren't I yours? Besides, you coaxed me to sleep before, and even carried me into the room in the middle of the night... Mmm!" Before Su Yuyao could finish speaking, Xuanfeng covered her mouth.
The quiet side hall was thrown into chaos by Su Yuyao's words.
A group of grown men suddenly received some bombshell gossip, and like gossipy women, they whispered among themselves and exchanged glances.
"Everyone... don't misunderstand... it's not..." Xuanfeng's imposing aura was suddenly filled with embarrassment.
"Oh, no misunderstanding. Anyway, Miss Yao'er is of marriageable age... Hmph..." Before he could finish speaking, the person burst into laughter.
“Miss Yao’er is too young, Lord Xuanfeng. Are you really that impatient? This is a bit unfair,” the older man said with dissatisfaction.
"No! I didn't!" Xuanfeng said, his eyes wide.
"Yes, we understand. You don't have it."
"Don't misunderstand! I'm just supporting her..."
"There's no misunderstanding. You should take care of yourself and not let down Fairy Feihua or Miss Yao'er."
Although Su Yuyao didn't understand why everyone's attitude had changed, she felt it was her responsibility to protect Xuanfeng, so she pushed Xuanfeng's hand away and said loudly, "Who said Xuanfeng has let me down? He's so good to me! He even built me a new house, made me new bedding and new clothes!"
"Shut up right now!" Xuanfeng's face was already red with anger.
"Hmph!" Su Yuyao frowned and pouted, looking at Xuan Feng with resentment. "You stinking bastard! I'm trying to help you!"
Xuanfeng gritted his teeth, pointed at Su Yuyao's nose, and glared at her fiercely. "You brat, if you dare to open your mouth again, I'll beat you up!"
Qi Men burst into laughter, "This Yao'er really deserves a beating!"
Seeing Xuanfeng's annoyed expression and Su Yuyao's defiant look, everyone began to chuckle.
"Oh my! So many people?!" Meng Yu pushed open the door and walked in, bowing and greeting the generals with a grin. "Long time no see! Long time no see! How are you all, generals?!"
"Meng Yu? What brings you here?" Xuan Feng frowned again.
"Lord Xuanfeng! I heard you asked for leave for Yao'er, so I came to see you out of curiosity," Meng Yu walked up to Su Yuyao, bent down, looked at Su Yuyao's puffed-up face, and asked with a smile, "Is the injury on your hand still not healed? Or is the injury from the vine whip still not healed?"
Su Yuyao's face flushed red instantly.
Qi Men stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Meng Yu, you've come at the right time. You watch over Yao'er; we still have some things to discuss."
"Yes, Senior Uncle! Don't worry about Yao'er, leave her to me!" Meng Yu pinched Su Yuyao's cheek and said, "Come with me, Junior Sister Yao'er!"
"No need, girl, just wait here. Let's continue!" Before Meng Yu could respond, Xuan Feng gathered everyone back around the sand table and said something.
Qi Men was somewhat surprised by Xuan Feng's attitude, but he didn't say much. He just smiled slightly and walked into the crowd.
Meng Yu didn't care about Xuan Feng's attitude. He leaned close to Su Yuyao's ear and whispered, "Would you like to go to the main hall for a look?"
"The main hall?" Su Yuyao had been itching to go for a while, and as soon as Meng Yu suggested it, she was immediately interested. "I want to go! But... Xuanfeng won't let me wander around."
"Lord Xuanfeng is still busy and can't attend to you! Let's go!" Meng Yu took Su Yuyao's hand and led her through the gate leading to the main hall.
Inside the main hall, with its black bricks and golden roof, nine steps led to a wide table and thick chairs. Su Yuyao sat down excitedly and asked, "Is this Xuanfeng's seat?"
“Yes!” Meng Yu said, standing at the bottom of the steps. “Things up there also belong to Lord Xuanfeng!”
"Huh? What's this?" Su Yuyao asked, pointing to a small sign on the table.
"Pick it up, let me take a look!" Meng Yu said with a smile.
"This is it!" Su Yuyao gently picked up the small sign, ran down the steps, and held it up in front of Meng Yu.
The words "Fu Guang" are engraved on the jet-black, shiny octagonal wooden plaque.
"Oh, this is Lord Xuanfeng's token, representing Lord Xuanfeng's identity."
"Oh, it's so pretty!" Su Yuyao exclaimed as she looked at the small wooden plaque.
"Put it back! If Lord Xuanfeng finds out you touched his things, he'll scold you again!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyao quickly ran back to the table, saying, "Why are you scolding me?! If anyone's going to scold me, it's you! You're the one who asked me to take it!"
"Yao'er, let me give you some extra lessons! Otherwise you won't understand anything when we go back to the academy tomorrow!"
"No! Xuanfeng said I don't have to go." Su Yuyao said, looking curiously at the other things on the table. There were several books and several sheets of paper with maps and stamps on them.
"Lord Xuanfeng only asked for one day off! Who said you don't have to go tomorrow?" Meng Yu said with his arms crossed. "Besides, you are the Immortal Master's last disciple. You should be living in the Academy and not going home. You should be by the Immortal Master's side at all times!"
"What?!" Su Yuyao looked up in surprise. "Then I don't want to be some kind of closed-door immortal disciple anymore. You can close the door!"
"Hahaha!" Meng Yu laughed loudly, "The decision to close the gate to the immortals was made by the Golden Crow Sparrow, and no one can change it!"
"That bird? Why are you all listening to that bird!" Su Yuyao said, pouting. "I'll tell Xuanfeng that I won't be a closed-door immortal disciple, and I won't go to the Academy. He'll agree!"
“He won’t!” Meng Yu said with certainty. “I begged him not to go to the academy back then, and look at me now!”
"You?!" Su Yuyao ran down the steps and looked at Meng Yu. "You're one of his people too?"
"Huh? I'm not one of his people!" Meng Yu blushed and slapped Su Yuyao's forehead, saying, "I'm the child he saved!"
"oh……"
"Wait!" Meng Yu's expression suddenly changed. "Why did you say 'also'?"
"What?!" Su Yuyao was confused.
"Are you... Lord Xuanfeng's man?" Meng Yu asked cautiously, frowning.
“Yes!” Su Yuyao nodded and said.
"Huh?! You, you and Lord Xuanfeng... you did that?!" Meng Yu's features all came together in shock.
"Which one?" Su Yuyao asked, blinking.
"Slept...?" Meng Yu asked in shock.
"Oh, you slept, but only for a few days. What happened?"
“You’re so young, and he… Oh, right, you should be of marriageable age.” Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked Su Yuyao up and down, and suddenly felt that she was so stupid. Su Yuyao must not understand matters between men and women to say such a thing.
He smiled and said, "Yao'er, be careful what you say in the future, so people don't misunderstand. Otherwise, people will say that Lord Xuanfeng actually broke off his engagement with Fairy Feihua because of a chubby girl!"
More falling petals! Why are there falling petals again!
"What's wrong with me! What's so great about Fei Hua?!" Su Yuyao started to retort as soon as she heard Fei Hua's name. "Besides, their annulment of the engagement wasn't because of me, so don't try to pin this on me!"
Meng Yu found it even more amusing to see Su Yuyao reeking of jealousy. He took Su Yuyao's hand and led her to sit on the steps.
"Yao'er, I'm going to give you a lesson now. The Immortal Master is very strict. If you don't understand anything, you'll definitely be punished. So, you have to listen carefully, and if you don't understand something, ask quickly, okay?"
Su Yuyao pouted and snorted unhappily.
Meng Yu smiled and said, "We've talked a lot today, so let's understand it sentence by sentence. 'Heaven and earth are long-lasting. The reason why heaven and earth can be long-lasting is that they do not exist for their own sake, therefore they can live long.' This means that heaven and earth can endure because they do not exist for their own sake..."
Su Yuyao sat on the steps, hugging her knees. Although her eyes were on Meng Yu, the blurry, alluring figure kept replaying in her mind.
Just how wonderful is Feihua? Why do so many people talk about her? If she's so wonderful, why did she break off her engagement with Xuanfeng? Was it because Xuanfeng wasn't good enough? But I think Xuanfeng is wonderful...
"Yao'er, Yao'er!" Meng Yu grabbed Su Yuyao's ear and called out, "Yao'er!"
"Ah! I heard that!" Su Yuyao said, shrinking her neck.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Meng Yu asked with a smile.
"I've listened, I've listened, are you done? I'm leaving now!" Su Yuyao said impatiently.
"What did I say?" Meng Yu continued to ask.
"Tell me..." Su Yuyao tried hard to recall, "What sky?"
Meng Yu smiled, reached out and flicked Su Yuyao's forehead with a loud thud.
"Ouch! That hurts! Meng Yu!" Su Yuyao stood up, clutching her forehead, and walked towards the side hall. "I'm going to tell Xuan Feng! You hit me!"
"Go ahead and report it! Then I'll tell Lord Xuanfeng that you didn't pay attention in class, and that's why you got beaten!"
Ignoring everything else, Su Yuyao covered her forehead and squeezed into the crowd, grabbing Xuanfeng's sleeve and saying in a sweet voice, "Xuanfeng! Meng Yu hit me!"
