Chapter 240 Things Have Changed
She hopped twice on the spot, then stepped out of the house again. Dressed in a brocade black robe, Wu Miao walked very quickly as she emerged from the house.
His brows furrowed with obvious resistance and weariness. Behind him followed Lin Qingran, whose eyes were slightly red, and Pei Chang'an, whose face was cold and whose head was always down, seemingly lost in thought.
Lin Yujin, who was tossing the wok, held a pinch of spiritual plant and floated over silkily from beside several elders not far away.
Lower your voice.
"Junior Sister, don't you think Sect Leader Wu seems a little off?"
I can't even stand up straight anymore.
Shi Yunxiao, looking disheveled, appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, pushing aside Su Qingliu, and silently pressed his forearm against Jiang Xianwan's shoulder.
He started by giving a sarcastic greeting.
"Hey, I knew my left eyelid had been twitching all day. Turns out it's because an evil spirit has returned?"
Before Jiang Xianwan could speak, he grabbed her ear with two fingers, pulled it closer, and leaned over to whisper gossip.
"I was shocked when I saw him. Master Wu was such a handsome and elegant person. Tell me, how did he become like this? Anyone who didn't know better would think that his family was holding a funeral!"
"He always has a long face and won't say a word. When he's discussing matters with our sect leader and the others, Sect Leader Wu just grunts the whole time."
As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Jiang Xianwan's neck and locked it around her neck.
“Recently, I’ve heard many disciples discussing this matter in private.”
"I was gossiping with them about evil spirits yesterday. Do you want to hear about it?"
Jiang Xianwan: "..."
Before, she kept calling me "Junior Sister," but now she keeps calling me "evil spirit."
So, does love really disappear?
Jiang Xianwan paused for a moment, then silently and forcefully pried Shi Yunxiao's arm away. "Senior Brother Shi, if you want to kill me, just say so."
The dog sneakily grabbed her by the neck, showing that its resentment and hostility towards her had not diminished even a fingernail despite their long separation.
It even reached a point of madness that would not stop until death.
Don't say it.
Shi Yunxiao is now... a chatterbox who doesn't care about his image at all (emphasis added).
If you give him a handful of sunflower seeds, his little mouth will probably chatter on and on all day long.
He's gone mad; there's no cure for him.
The two locked eyes, and sparks flew instantly.
It also contained the clanging of swords and the glint of blades, a fierce crackling sound.
Shi Yunxiao smiled slightly, opened his mouth, and said silently: Hehe, you evil spirit, I will never let you go.
She left, but she didn't let him go.
Two other sisters from another clan, who were looking for Zhu Yinman to play the trumpet, happened to see him wearing only big shorts and hanging from a tree branch by that bastard Xiao Zi.
In the end, it was leaked out.
The information they're spreading is completely wrong!
They said he was walking his bird, put it in neutral, and it sprang off with a glistening spray.
Look at this, is this even human language?!
When did he ever walk his bird?!
It's all Jiang Xianwan and that bastard Xiao Zi's fault!
Ever since he arrived in the Void Ancient Realm, the people from the other five major sects have been pointing and whispering about him.
Even when he's just passing on lightning, he's so flamboyant.
In a fit of rage, he went up and ripped the slaps off several of the men's faces!
Jiang Xianwan: "..." She really felt it.
Isn't this also a kind of deep and passionate friendship from Senior Brother Shi towards her?
Thinking back, Yunxiao shouted maniacally at a group of disciples and elders, "Slander! You're slandering me! I didn't walk my bird! I didn't walk my bird—!!!"
Su Qingliu and Bai Ziye, standing nearby, gave him a look that was hard to describe.
The two then nodded slightly. "It has indeed changed."
Jiang Xianwan pushed away Shi Yunxiao's bared face and gazed thoughtfully at Wu Miao's figure.
Wu Miao's personality is somewhat complex, a blend of many small traits. She seems easy to get along with, yet gives off a sense of distance that makes people hesitant to act presumptuously and want to keep their distance.
The more you get to know them, the more you'll realize their casual and interesting nature, their leisurely observation of the moonrise and sunset, their romantic and delicate charm.
Every time I see her, her eyes light up with a smile, and she greets me with, "Good morning."
Now, when I see him again, the light around him is dimmed to the extreme, there is no longer any leisure or ease, and his hair is covered with decadence.
Just like when she first met her senior brother, she was world-weary and could have been suicidal at any moment, even thinking of hanging herself with a rope.
Jiang Xianwan withdrew his gaze, just as Wu Miao happened to be looking in that direction.
He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
She glanced at the people around her, lowered her eyelashes, and walked straight away from Lin Qingran, gradually disappearing into the woods.
Lin Yujin stuffed a spiritual plant into her mouth: "Holy crap, why do I have a feeling he wants to die?"
Bai Ziye wholeheartedly agreed: "I'm so afraid he'll suddenly pull out a ball of rope from his sleeve."
Shi Yunxiao cracked open the sunflower seeds he had scavenged from Jiang Xianwan, then spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells rudely to the side.
He shook his head and clicked his tongue, then replied, "Just hang it up yourself."
She started babbling on and on.
"I heard that the elders of the Eternal Sect are watching him like he's a thief, secretly keeping an eye on him all day long, or it's Pei Chang'an who's watching him."
“I even asked Pei Chang’an about it. Of course, when I asked him, I gave him an apple out of politeness. But he just glanced at me, refused my apple, and left.”
"Ha, so stingy! Would it kill you to say something? Or is it that Pei Chang'an doesn't like Ping..."
Jiang Xianwan: "..."
She stretched out three fingers and decisively pinched Shi Yunxiao's mouth.
Fortunately, it was time for the disciples to hand over their duties and patrol. Jiang Xianwan decisively raised his leg and kicked Shi Yunxiao, who was about to say something, into the nearest room.
The world... finally quieted down.
Bai Ziye's array formation skills were amazing, and recently he was inevitably dragged by the elders to help out. While setting up an array near the Spirit Tower, he encountered several mad beasts, broke his wrist, and was exhausted, so he stayed in the house to rest.
Lin Yujin's alchemy skills are among the best in the Taixu Sect, and he currently needs a large number of Rejuvenation Pills.
Before they could even gossip a bit more, their own Elder Ming grabbed them by the ear and dragged them away.
Hua Buxiu took Su Qingliu and Jiang Xianwan to the lookout tower.
Jiang Xianwan met Qin Qin.
Qin Qin, holding her long sword, turned her gaze at the noise and was slightly taken aback.
"Sword Master".
His gaze swept past Su Qingliu, then his dazed eyes landed on Jiang Xianwan.
Much later.
He said softly, "Junior Sister Wanwan."
Su Qingliu: "..."
Hua Buxiu: "..."
Hearing him call her "Junior Sister Wanwan," Jiang Xianwan smiled and nodded, "Senior Brother Qin."
Seeing the dust on his face, he pointed to his own cheek and said, "There's mud here."
Qin Qin's ears turned red, revealing two shallow dimples, and she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve.
Then, he cast a furtive and earnest glance at Jiang Xianwan.
Jiang Xianwan couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing his serious and composed demeanor, she simply wiped his face with her own sleeve.
"It's gone now."
Su Qingliu: "..."
Hua Buxiu: "..."
Hua Buxiu grabbed his wicked disciple's wrist and turned her around so she could see the spirit tower.
Looking at the figure surrounded in the middle, Qin Qin's fingers gripping the sword slowly tightened, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
With her eyelashes drooping, she suppressed the bitter feeling in her heart and slowly turned around.
Hua Buxiu: "The six watchtowers are guarded by disciples of the six sects in rotation. The Taixu Sect is responsible for the south, and the other elders will also patrol continuously."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the center of the Void Ancient Realm.
"Di Yin and Yun Weize are still repairing that damaged spirit tower."
Hua Buxiu stopped speaking and suddenly saw another outbreak of strange beasts in the distance. He and Su Qingliu flew away.
Once a riot by strange beasts occurs, it will affect a larger area. Therefore, it is best to disperse and stop the beast tide in time before it expands.
