Chapter 174
Feng Jixue didn't expect that her junior sister would suddenly appear here, and she didn't expect that she would see such a situation.
Without even thinking, he almost subconsciously pushed Lin Qingshuang away from his arms and nervously called out to the departing figure, "Yan Yan!"
Lin Qingshuang, who was still holding on to her hope, staggered when he pushed her, her eyes instantly moistened, and when she heard the name he called out, she inevitably felt a surge of sourness and pain in her heart.
She threw away her last bit of dignity and pride, and looked at Senior Brother Feng's back as he turned around to catch up. Suddenly, she felt an impulse in her heart, and without thinking, she rushed over and hugged his back.
Feng Jixue staggered forward a few steps before he managed to steady himself. He frowned and looked down. It was Junior Sister Lin's hands that were across his waist. She was holding him tightly, and her fingers were squeezing his chest with too much force, causing him to feel suffocated.
Feng Jixue was knocked to a standstill, and his irritable mood became more and more out of control.
He heard the voice of the person behind him say to him hoarsely, "Brother, I know you feel guilty towards her, but it's not your fault. People who are trapped by a love pig can't control themselves at all. It's only natural for you to untie the love pig. Can you answer my question first? Have you ever cared about me in your heart? Let me know the result, okay?"
"Brother, I don't mind the past, I don't mind the past between you and my little sister, as long as you tell me the truth, whether you have feelings for me..."
She no longer needs to worry about her past life. She died because of him. If it was all a misunderstanding, didn't they just miss out on their whole life?
But before she could finish her words, someone ripped her hand away from her waist and said, "No."
Because of the ruthless and rough action, the gold buckle on his waist even accidentally scratched her finger, causing a slight pain.
Feng Jixue finally came to his senses. He turned around and pushed away the person who was hugging him from behind. His expression was cold and distant, with a hint of impatience between his eyebrows. "I don't have any feelings for you in my heart."
"Junior Sister Lin, I think you misunderstood. After I untied the love pig that day, I just suddenly remembered the past. I was a little dazed under the impact, so I subconsciously looked at you. It's not what you think."
"And more." Feng Jixue frowned, looking at Lin Qingshuang beside him with a slightly fixed gaze, and said in a calm and serious tone, "Although my junior sister and I have not formed a bond, it is a fact that I feel sorry for her. I will never have anything to do with other women in this life. Even if my junior sister will never forgive me in her lifetime, I will only stay with her for the rest of my life. Other people and things have nothing to do with me."
After saying this, Feng Jixue no longer cared about Lin Qingshuang's reaction behind him, or maybe he never cared about it. His mind was now completely focused on the figure that had just left.
Then he turned around and chased in the direction of his junior sister.
Lin Qingshuang, who stayed where she was, couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't expect that she would abandon her dignity and still get such a result. Why? Why did she still live such a miserable life in her new life? Everyone was against her. Why did everyone care about her junior sister?
On the other side, Feng Jixue followed the trail all the way to the junior sister's yard, and finally saw the junior sister sitting quietly on a stone bench in the yard, drawing talismans.
Her face looked calm and normal, as if she didn't take what happened just now to heart.
Feng Jixue breathed a of relief and walked into his junior sister's yard. In fact, he and his junior sister had not had such a peaceful time together for a long time.
Ever since the contract was hastily concluded that day, the junior sister has been resisting to appear in the same place with him.
Although he wanted to ease the relationship between the two, the other party was too repulsive to him and refused to even give him a chance to apologize.
He originally thought that as time went by, the relationship between the two would slowly improve, but the more time passed, the colder her attitude became, and the more he felt guilty.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. After the love-sucking trap was untied, the past influences should have disappeared. He really couldn't feel the love for his junior sister in his heart, but his mind would always unconsciously recall the past between the two of them, which sometimes made him lose the heart to practice swordplay.
Thinking of this, Feng Jixue let out a breath, suppressed all the chaotic and complicated emotions deep in his heart, and walked directly towards the direction of his junior sister.
He saw that the junior sister was drawing the Lihuo Talisman, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't succeed. Feng Jixue walked closer and saw that the junior sister had drawn the talisman into a little turtle.
The eldest senior brother's expression paused for a moment, then he pursed his lips, and there was a hint of relaxation and a faint smile in his eyes. He unconsciously recalled the time when the younger junior sister followed him to learn to draw talismans.
This girl was lazy by nature. At first, she thought the Lihuo Talisman was too complicated and kept reducing her steps secretly. When she was discovered, she told him with a righteous indignation that she was saving time and energy. This indeed saved a lot of time and energy, but she always made mistakes when drawing the talisman.
Feng Jixue saw that another piece of bright yellow talisman paper had been wasted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a slight arc. He reached out and picked up a piece of talisman paper in front of her, wanting to demonstrate it to her:
"Yan Yan, it's not like that. You can't be perfunctory when drawing talismans, and you can't cut corners. Didn't I teach you before..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, someone snatched the talisman paper from his hand.
Feng Jixue paused what he was doing and slowly turned his head to look at her.
The junior sister turned slightly, and her eyes that usually showed dependence and admiration now revealed obvious indifference and disdain. She said calmly, "Don't touch my things. I just held another woman's fingers, which I think are too dirty."
Suddenly, it was as if a bucket of ice water was poured over my head.
Senior Brother's expression changed instantly.
He felt uncomfortable at the pain in his heart, and subconsciously clenched his fingers. He looked a little embarrassed, but he still tried to calm the emotions in his chest and explained to her:
"Yan Yan, it's not what you think. Nothing happened between Junior Sister Lin and me. I didn't know she would suddenly come to me, nor did I know she would suddenly rush up to me, so I didn't have time to push her away..."
Before he could finish his words, Nan Yan interrupted him impatiently. She raised her eyes, and suddenly a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes, with a slightly sarcastic smile, "Brother, do you think I'm blind? Can't you see the intimate hugs between you?"
Of course she knew that there was no relationship between the two, but since she had seen it with her own eyes, she was sure to put the blame on him and give him a good beating.
After saying that, she smiled again, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Instead, it was filled with a hint of coldness. Her pretty lips formed a beautiful curve as she stared at him coldly.
"But Senior Brother has always been blessed with good fortune. He said he loved me a few days ago, but today he has another beauty in his arms. In the past, he even coaxed and deceived me without making a sound, playing me around. If we were really together, I can't guarantee that Senior Brother wouldn't fall in love with someone else behind my back. Fortunately, the bond we formed that day was not successful."
Hearing this, the color on Feng Jixue's face gradually faded, and he even showed a bit of anxious and nervous expression.
He subconsciously took a step forward, staring at Nan Yan in front of him, and his tone became more serious, "Yan Yan, things are really not what you think, listen to my explanation, okay? I really don't have any other thoughts about Junior Sister Lin. I have just made it clear to her. I said that I will only protect you in this life. No matter in the past or in the future, I will definitely do what I said. Do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it." Nan Yan said without hesitation.
She raised her eyes and looked straight at him, her tone full of disgust and ridicule, "Brother, you were so distant to me even when you were in love with me, and you restrained yourself from coming to me. How could you still be so sincere to me after you got rid of the love pig? Who knows if this is a new trick you played, waiting for me to fall into your trap and be deceived again and again."
Nan Yan chuckled after she finished speaking, and her gaze became even colder. The alienation and disgust in her eyes were so obvious.
It was so obvious that it was like a sharp dagger that pierced straight into his heart, stirring it violently inside, causing a sharp pain, making him unable to bear that kind of look.
Perhaps he was stung by that cold gaze, or perhaps the words she just said were too hurtful.
A dark feeling inevitably emerged in the heart of the eldest senior brother. He clenched his fingers tightly and subconsciously thought of the recent rumors about her and Jing Wuyan that were circulating in the sect, as well as what happened at the foot of the mountain that day...
All those chaotic images and emotions instantly flooded into his head, as if a huge rock was pressing heavily on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Feng Jixue suddenly felt a very strange feeling in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on.
He didn't know whether it was jealousy or anger that made his eyes darken. He instinctively retorted, "What about you? What about your intimacy with that male cultivator?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his head and looked directly at her face. He tried to see a trace of regret on her face, but no, she didn't care about what he said, nor did she care about his current opinion.
Nan Yan pursed her lips and suddenly chuckled. As she chuckled, her eyes became slightly moist. However, she still managed to maintain her dignity and sneered, "So what? Could it be that Senior Brother doesn't like me and won't allow me to be with someone else?"
She met his gaze with a slightly annoyed look, without any emotion in her eyes, "How can this be justified in the world? You are not related to me, so why do you care about my affairs?"
After Nan Yan finished speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation.
But someone grabbed my wrist.
Feng Jixue pursed his lips, his face pale. He clearly didn't mean that, but he didn't know why he said such a thing. He was a little anxious, but he seemed even more clumsy.
"No, that's not what I meant."
The senior brother held her wrist, gradually tightening his grip, fearing that she would turn around and leave if he relaxed even a little.
"Yanyan, don't be angry yet. I just want you to stop being impulsive. Feelings are not a joke, and they are not a tool for you to use to anger others. If you hate me, you can beat me, scold me, and chop me with your sword. It doesn't matter. Just don't do such things, Yanyan. I don't want you to get hurt again."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then sarcastically said, "But you are the one who hurt me the most. What qualifications do you have to say such things now?"
Feng Jixue's lips turned pale and his body stiffened.
Nan Yan didn't want to care about his emotions, so she took advantage of his distraction and struggled hard, trying to break his hand free. However, he held her hand tightly and she couldn't break free at all.
Nan Yan's eyes now showed obvious resistance and impatience, her face turned slightly red with anger, but the harder she struggled, the tighter the man opposite her held on.
This caused a hint of worry to appear in her eyes.
"Let go, don't touch me."
Feng Jixue finally came to his senses. Seeing how fiercely she resisted, his heart seemed to be entangled with dense silk threads that were being pulled hard, and he immediately felt unbearable.
He looked at the slender and soft wrist in his palm. He didn't know what happened at that moment. He didn't know whether he was too anxious or worried, but he pulled the person into his arms.
"sorry……"
"Yanyan, don't be like this. Can we talk properly? I really didn't expect to hurt you so deeply."
His voice was a little hoarse, and he raised his hand and pressed it on Nan Yan's back. Almost at the moment when he hugged her in his arms, his heart seemed to tremble slightly.
He had not expected that this kind of scene that would occasionally appear in a dream at midnight would actually happen at this moment.
He suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of losing control, and he couldn't help but hold the person in his arms tighter.
"Yan Yan, please listen to my explanation first. There is really no relationship between me, Junior Sister Lin and me."
"I've already said that I will only protect you in my life. I will not go back on my oath. Yanyan, give me a chance, and we will renew our bond, okay?"
Nan Yan was still in a daze, but when she heard the following words, she suddenly struggled desperately.
Her eyes suddenly became moist, and she pushed the person away with red eyes. She raised her hand and slapped the other person directly in the face without showing any mercy.
She is quite skilled at slapping people in the face.
Feng Jixue's face was hit and his head tilted slightly.
A red mark quickly appeared on the white jade-like face.
Nan Yan looked at him like this, and although she was the one who hit him, tears fell uncontrollably. "I've said it before, I don't need your charity and sympathy, nor do I need you to keep that false promise and be responsible for me."
The more she spoke, the more tears flowed. "I hate it when you say something like this, 'I'm not your responsibility.'"
Feng Jixue pursed her lips, the blood between her lips looked particularly pale, her fingertips curled up, she wanted to reach out and wipe her tears, but she didn't dare to touch her.
Nan Yan's emotions seemed to be out of control, with a painful and embarrassed expression on her face, staring at him with resentment and anger.
"What do you think of me? Do you think I'm your little pet? Why do you say you can pamper me when you like me, and abandon me when you don't like me? I don't want to care about your relationship with anyone now, and I don't want to see you again in the future. Stay away from me!"
After saying this, Nan Yan didn't want to bother with him anymore. She turned around and rushed out of the yard without hesitation.
Feng Jixue was left standing stiffly in the same place, watching her figure getting farther and farther away until she disappeared. He felt as if his heart was being tightly pulled by something for some unknown reason, and there was an unbearable feeling of suffocation that made him almost unable to breathe.
Feng Jixue clenched his palms tightly. He had a vague feeling of panic in his heart and his mind was a mess, but he was too timid to think about it further. He was afraid and uneasy, but he didn't even understand why he was like this?
Was it because of guilt? Because he made the decision without telling her the truth in advance?
It was clearly a happy day, but on the day when she was so happy, she lost all face in front of everyone and was criticized by everyone, making all her previous joys become false joys... It must be because of guilt, right?
But...why does guilt feel so uncomfortable?
Feng Jixue stood for so long that his body became stiff. The slightest movement made his knees go weak and he almost fell down.
He held onto the corner of the table, looking at the bright yellow talisman paper on the edge of the table. His throat felt slightly tight and dry. He moved his fingers slightly, wanting to touch it, but he quickly withdrew his hand as if it had been burned, and put it back into his sleeves.
Until the very end, he still didn't fully understand the answer in his heart. Was he feeling uneasy because of guilt, or because of the vague regret and unwillingness in his heart?
On the other side, Nan Yan was sad, so naturally she wanted to find someone to comfort her. So without thinking, she turned around and rushed into Jing Wuyan's yard.
During this period of time, while she was avoiding Feng Jixue, she also gained a lot of favor in front of Jing Wuyan.
At least she wouldn't be scolded when she acted unreasonably in front of him, and the man would be able to listen to her nonsense patiently. However, the most annoying thing was that the man urged her to practice every day, even though he meant well.
But could Nan Yan be the kind of person who would be controlled by others? She was upset and simply quarreled with him and said some unpleasant words, which caused the two of them to have a cold war for several days.
Maybe he was very angry about her nonsense last time.
Jing Wuyan was also a little angry this time, so he had been refraining from coming to see her for the past few days.
When Nan Yan rushed into Jing Wuyan's yard, the person in the house was holding a booklet and looking at something.
When the door was pushed open, the man subconsciously hid the book in his sleeve. He was about to frown, but when he saw that the one who kicked the door was that bold little girl, Jing Wuyan's expression froze for a moment, and quickly returned to normal. He felt a little annoyed in his heart. Didn't this little girl dislike him for being too shameless?
What are you doing here now?
Jing Wuyan was originally still struggling over whether he should speak first, but the little girl opposite him didn't say anything and just threw herself into his arms without following the routine.
All the anger and sadness he had been accumulating were shattered to pieces. He didn't even remember the quarrel between them before and just hugged the person in his arms.
After hugging him, he regained some rationality. He hugged him and snorted, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that I'm nosy and can't compare to your brother's gentleness and consideration? Why are you coming to me now? And you're hugging me so tightly?"
Such words are equivalent to a quarrel between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. The girlfriend gets angry and directly scolds her boyfriend for not being as considerate as her ex-boyfriend. Once such words are spoken, it's like stirring up a hornet's nest. Tian Jing Wuyan was so angry that his face darkened. He said, since you like your senior brother so much, why did you kiss me in my arms?
As a result, the little girl was so bold that she dared to say anything, scolding him for being shameless and wanting to eat swan meat, saying that he had forced himself to come up, which made Jing Wuyan so angry that his face was gloomy and he wanted to catch her and beat her up.
But he just couldn't bear to do so. Not only did he not know what to do with her, but he also ended up making himself very angry.
Who made him come to the door on his own initiative?
So the two of them started a cold war afterwards. During the cold war, Jing Wuyan was very stubborn and he really didn't come to see her if he said so.
After all, when he made a mistake he could humbly apologize and admit his fault, but when he didn't make any mistake he was treated as a punching bag by her and could be summoned and dismissed at will. How could he tolerate this?
Nan Yan lay in his arms, thinking without saying a word.
She also remembered the last time they had quarreled. Anyway, she would make trouble for others when she was in a bad mood.
So without saying anything, they just hugged each other's waist, tears constantly flowing from their eyes, looking like they had suffered a great injustice.
Jing Wuyan was not a fool. When he heard the faint sobbing, especially when he felt the wetness on his chest, he knew who this little girl was sad for again. He felt a little annoyed in his heart, and his handsome eyebrows were also tinged with some annoyance.
He grabbed the person's waist and tightened his arms, then carried the person to sit on the soft cushion behind him.
Jing Wuyan let go of the person a little, and as expected, he saw the little face crying silently. The coldness in his heart deepened a little, and there was a hint of anger.
He reached out his hand, pinched her chin, lifted her face, and looked at her with gloomy eyes, "Why, are you sad about your good senior brother again? Every time you are bullied, you come to my arms and cry for comfort. Do you really think I am dead?"
It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but this little girl is like this every time. After taking advantage of someone, she kicks him away without any hesitation. He used to think that it would be okay if she took advantage of him. As long as she was willing to give him a chance, he wouldn't mind it.
But he thought too easily. This little girl was an ungrateful bastard. She had learned the tricks of being ruthless and turning against others.
Jing Wuyan couldn't help getting angry when he thought of this, but he was still being taken advantage of by her.
He pinched her chin and applied a little force, "Could it be that I was born with a kind face that makes you so bold that you dare to use me as a fool again and again?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips, looking extremely aggrieved. She was about to speak, but before she could finish her words, a tear fell.
"I..."
"Me what me?" he sneered.
Jing Wuyan's face was not looking good, and he stared at the person in his arms with a stern look. Seeing that the little girl started to cry and pretend to be pitiful again, his eyes darkened and he shouted directly, "Don't cry! Little girl, do you think I am too kind? Do you think I am doing good deeds by pampering you?"
He knew this little girl's tricks very well.
He is like this every time he comes. When he is sweet-mouthed, people feel like they are in a piece of honey. But when he turns his face against people, people who hate him feel so angry that their teeth itch.
Jing Wuyan had a gloomy face and spoke in a slow tone, "I'm not that kind. Let me tell you, don't you think I'm being too persistent? Now I'll make it clear to you, I do have other intentions towards you."
"But I don't plan to waste my time with you. If you feel wronged in the future and want to seek my comfort or continue to cry in my arms, you must give something. You naughty girl, I am not the kind of person who does good things without expecting anything in return. Do you remember that?"
At this point, Jing Wuyan narrowed his eyes again, revealing a sinister expression, "I won't force you. If you don't want to, leave me now and go find your good senior brother for comfort. Don't call other men's names in my arms."
"But if you agree, and you dare to say those hurtful and irritating words again in the future, I will not just punish you by locking you up. I will tie you to the bed and let you see how powerful my methods are."
Nan Yan was attracted by this and was very curious. With tears still hanging on her eyelashes, she couldn't help but looked up and asked weakly, "What method?"
Jing Wu paused for a moment and looked at her expressionlessly, "I will do this until you cry and scream and can't close your legs."
Nan Yan's face instantly turned red, and she looked down at his waist, which made her look even more aggrieved. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she subconsciously shrank back.
"If that's the case, then I would have died a long time ago..."
She jumped off the cushion, bit her lip, turned around and was about to slip away, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and her whole body was pulled back and crashed into the other person's arms.
Nan Yan tried to pull her hand back, but the man refused to let go.
She looked at him gloomily, her eyes still glistening with tears, her cheeks filled with pink tears, "Didn't you say you don't like to force people? You gave me two choices, and I chose the first one. Isn't it okay if I don't come to see you anymore? Why don't you let me go quickly?"
Jing Wuyan looked at her calmly, his face expressionless, "I did say it, but if it takes more than three sentences, it means you chose the first one. What, do you want to cheat now?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she was stunned.
She looked up at this shameless man. How could he say such shameless words so confidently?
The other party was also looking at her, seeing her shrinking head and looking like a quail, the anger in her heart was extinguished completely in an instant. This little girl was still the same as before, timid and afraid of death, and she had to be scared before she would behave herself.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, her face slightly reddened with anger, "You didn't even tell me in advance, you can't treat me like this..."
Jing Wuyan chuckled softly, pinched her face, and stroked the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips. He said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Why can't I? You are not related to me, so of course I can bully you as much as I want. However, if you are willing to be my partner, maybe I can treat you more gently."
Nan Yan bit her lip, leaving a bright red mark on it. "You are already so old, and you still want a beautiful girl like me to be your partner. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Whether it's shameful or not, you'll know if you touch it."
Hearing this, Nan Yan obviously had the wrong idea. Her face flushed with embarrassment, but she couldn't help but lower her head to look down, and then asked very embarrassingly, "Where do you want to touch? If it's too small, I don't want to touch it."
Jing Wuyan's face was filled with black lines, and he couldn't help but hit the girl on the head twice. She was talking nonsense and was so bold and presumptuous.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? You are learning nothing all day long. You have not learned anything good from your senior brother. You have only studied these messed up things. From now on, you stay here honestly and concentrate on your cultivation. Do you hear me?"
Nan Yan felt a little regretful and reluctant to let go, "Can't I touch it anymore?"
Jing Wuyan stared at her with his dark eyes, his expression paused for a moment, and then he pretended to turn his head away and coughed, "If you really want to, it's not impossible."
