Chapter 179
Soon, the news of the fight between the younger sister and the older sister spread throughout the sect. In the past, there were only some minor frictions between the two, but now they have really torn their faces apart.
Many disciples speculated on the reason, and later, someone spread the rumor that the two quarreled because of the handsome male cultivator. They didn't know the exact right or wrong, but as far as this matter was concerned, many people stood on the side of the eldest sister. After all, the male cultivator was brought back by the sister, so the relationship between the two was naturally closer. The two might have been going to become a couple, but the younger sister intervened.
Some people blamed her, and naturally some disciples who were close to the younger sister would argue, "Eldest sister did bring that male cultivator back, but that male cultivator never said that he wanted to be a couple with senior sister. Just because she knew him first, can't others know him? Besides, the younger sister and eldest sister have been at odds for a long time, who knows what other reasons they have."
An outer disciple who claimed to be righteous rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Come on, everyone knows that after the little sister was abandoned by the eldest brother, she became a completely different person with a strange temper. Maybe she is deliberately going against the eldest sister?"
The disciple couldn't help arguing again, "Are you all blind? Didn't you see that it was Senior Sister who was really wronged this time? Senior Sister has obviously already reached the Golden Core stage. With such a high level of cultivation, is it really difficult for her to beat a Foundation Establishment cultivator? But she gave in step by step, but Junior Sister became aggressive in return. After all this, do you still want to speak up for her?"
After she finished speaking, the faces of the people who had originally argued back suddenly turned ugly, and they were a little embarrassed. Quite a few people had witnessed what happened that day, and it was indeed the junior sister who was adamant and the senior sister who had been restraining herself. In this regard, the junior sister was indeed wrong.
A few people snorted coldly and said nothing.
Seeing that they had nothing to say, the outer disciple looked even more pleased, "So, am I right?"
"If you ask me, Junior Sister was spoiled too much by Senior Brother in the past, so she became so lawless and reckless, and even ignored the friendship of fellow disciples. Maybe Senior Brother saw through her true face, so he didn't want her. Only the people in our sect were humble to her. She has a bad temper and is so fierce. She really doesn't know how to live or die."
As soon as the words fell, the air around them suddenly became quiet.
The outer disciple was still talking big at first. He still remembered that his junior sister had once complained to him about bullying that bad-tempered little disciple. Now that he had the chance, he was determined to give her a good scolding.
But when he looked up and saw that everyone was keeping their heads down and not talking, he suddenly felt unhappy and dissatisfied. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold and lonely voice coming from behind him, as if it came directly into his head from a distance, which started led him.
"Who has the guts to blame her behind her back? What, did my pampering of my junior sister cause you any trouble?"
The outer disciples felt a little tingling on their scalps for a moment.
Feng Jixue's lips were pale and his face was expressionless, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the eldest senior brother was very unhappy at the moment. He looked at the disciple in front of him and said, "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can discuss it with me in front of me. What's the point of blaming her behind her back? Are you bullying her because she has no one to protect her?"
The outer disciple's face instantly turned red, he was somewhat at a loss, and somewhat unwilling, he stammered and stared at the man in front of him, "But... Junior Sister didn't care about the friendship of fellow disciples, and it is a fact that she hurt Senior Sister, do you think Senior Brother will also protect her?"
Feng Jixue lowered his eyes, the air around him gradually turned colder, and his eyes became even colder, "You seem to know the details. How come you were there that day and heard the reason for their argument with your own ears? Why don't you tell me so that I can also listen to it, so that I, as her senior brother, can teach her a lesson?"
Under the relentless gaze of the senior brother, the outer sect disciple hesitated and finally could not utter a single word. He certainly did not hear it with his own ears or see it with his own eyes, but those people spread the story vividly, so he naturally followed suit. Moreover, he had a grudge against his junior sister, so who knew that he would be caught by the senior brother while talking about others behind their backs.
Feng Jixue saw his red and embarrassed face and knew that he was spreading rumors. He glanced at her coldly with a nonchalant and cold aura, "Junior Sister is the one I protect. From now on, I don't want to hear any bad words about her from you. If you are unwilling, those who are capable can come and vent their anger on me. Those who are not capable, just shut up and don't make me angry."
After saying this, the eldest senior brother sneered, turned around, flicked his sleeves, and left with an expressionless face.
The disciples were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Judging from the situation, the elder brother's treatment of the younger sister was not as cold as rumored a few days ago. It was obvious that he still cared about her.
On the other side, Nan Yan hadn't looked for Jing Wuyan for several days. She finally figured it out these days. Jing Wuyan was too strong. If she could patiently coax him into compromise, it would be possible. But if she was as strong as him, it would be difficult for that bastard to accept it.
So we still have to stimulate him again.
Nan Yan, who had figured things out, had been eating, drinking and sleeping well these past few days. She felt particularly comfortable without anyone disturbing her.
But the good times are over tonight. Nan Yan, who was originally half asleep, felt her body getting heavier and heavier, as if something was pressing on her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.
When she regained consciousness a little, she realized that the person she was kissing on her neck was actually a person's head. Damn it, this bastard sneaked up on her in the middle of the night and she almost slapped him in the face. She then shouted, "You bastard, spare my life!"
She had originally thought that if this bastard didn't take the initiative, she would have to take the initiative, but as it happened, this bastard couldn't help it first.
It's good that she can't help it, then she will have the chance to control it.
Jing Wuyan looked down at Nan Yan, who was still half asleep. His lips gently touched the skin on her neck from time to time. The skin was so delicate and soft that he couldn't let go. It reminded him of her crying face that night.
The night pearls placed in the room emitted a white glow, as if covering her skin with a layer of hazy glow. Her rosy lips were gently pursed, and her thin eyelashes like cicada wings would tremble occasionally, gently rubbing his cheeks, making him feel numb and itchy, and Jing Wuyan kissed him even more gently.
This little girl is really heartless. He has been waiting for her for so many days, but she has never come to see him once. Tonight, he couldn't bear it any longer and had to come to see him on his own.
He had no mood to do anything these days, but this little girl ate well and slept well. If he didn't come over to show his presence, this little girl would probably forget about him completely. It has always been this little girl's nature to throw away things after using them.
Jing Wuyan's Adam's apple rolled and he felt a little annoyed in his heart. When had he ever cared so much about anyone before, but this little girl didn't cherish him at all. He kissed the person's neck, with the force gradually increasing from slow to heavy. The person below breathed a little faster.
Jing Wu stretched out his hand, held her palm, put it to his lips and bit it gently. After biting it, he couldn't help but kissed it. He deliberately lowered his voice and called her name softly, "Yan Yan..."
I don't know what he was thinking of, but Jing Wuyan's voice was low and lingering, sending out some kind of signal of courtship. He circled around his sweetheart, hoping that she would give him some response. His warm breath brushed past his ears, making one's bones numb.
After being disturbed for so long, the people below finally woke up a little. Nan Yan turned over in a daze, raised her hand and touched her head unconsciously, then pushed it away impatiently, muttering,
"Good brother, stop making trouble, you are so heavy..."
After saying this, the person on his body stopped moving.
Jing Wuyan felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over him from head to toe, and he became completely sober.
He loosened the hand he had been holding and looked down at the woman who was sleeping soundly. The expression on his face gradually became tense, and even the air around him became somewhat stagnant.
Even if Nan Yan was confused, she should have realized that something was wrong, not to mention that she was still pretending to be asleep. So, after turning over, Nan Yan, who finally realized that something was wrong around her, suddenly opened her eyes.
Sure enough, when she turned her head, she saw Jing Wuyan sitting opposite the bed, looking at her expressionlessly.
His clothes were a little loose, his hair was messy, and his collar was turned up, revealing some of his fair and seductive jade-colored skin. Nan Yan's gaze slowly moved upwards and happened to meet those deep and dark eyes.
The aura around Jing Wuyan became colder and colder. After a long while, he sneered and uttered a few words from his thin red lips, "Good senior brother? What, are you looking forward to your senior brother doing this to you? Or am I too much like your senior brother, so you have some kind of illusion and mistook me for him?"
Nan Yan knew she had recognized the wrong person, so she bit her lip, leaving a bright red mark on it. She avoided his gaze for a moment out of guilt, not daring to meet his gaze nor saying a word.
Jing Wuyan saw her like this, his eyes were a little cold, he pulled her over, stretched out two fingers, pinched her chin hard, then raised her face and looked at her seriously, "Do you see it clearly now? Who am I, or am I still your good senior brother?"
Nan Yan felt pain from being pinched and frowned slightly. The slight guilt on her face disappeared because of his action. She raised her hand and waved away the other person's palm.
"Don't touch me. I don't want to talk to you now. I don't owe you anything. You are not my relative. You have no right to control me. Besides, who told you to sneak into my room in the middle of the night and scare me? It's normal for me to admit my mistake."
She is still stubborn.
Jing Wuyan thought that he was not a narrow-minded and stingy man, and his temper was already very restrained. But as soon as these words came out, the resentment that Jing Wuyan had been holding back in his heart suddenly turned into a flame, which quickly spread and burned in his chest, and a layer of anger appeared between his brows. In fact, he rarely gets angry recently, but this girl always challenges his bottom line without any scruples.
He actually didn't mind that she called the wrong person, as long as she coaxed him, what he minded was her attitude after she called the wrong person.
Jing Wuyan sneered, grabbed her wrist forcefully, and pulled her towards him, "Don't touch me? We've done more intimate things before, and now you want me to stop touching you. What? Do you want to regret it now? Do you think I'm not as considerate and gentle as your good senior brother, so you want to pat your skirt and leave?"
It would have been fine if she'd called another man's name in front of him, but now she's acting like she wants to draw a line between us.
This little girl has such an unpredictable temper and is easily disliked by others. Is she sure that he won't get angry?
Jing Wuyan's voice became colder as he spoke. He reached out and pinched her face again, his tone slightly lowered, "Didn't I warn you that night that you would be responsible if you touched me? I am not a tool that you can use whenever you want. Why, do you regret your attitude now?"
Nan Yan was pinched so hard that tears welled up in her eyes. Perhaps it was because this man had never treated her so coldly since they became close. This made her look a little aggrieved. The more aggrieved she felt, the angrier she became.
Nan Yan simply threw the jar into the air and shouted at him fearlessly, "Yes, that's right, I regret it."
Jing Wuyan's expression suddenly darkened, and he stared coldly at the ignorant girl in front of him who was talking nonsense and having no idea of her own life or death.
"Can you please say it again?"
Nan Yan didn't care about him. She raised her hand and slapped the other person's hand away. Her eyes were slightly red and tears welled up in her eyes. "It's the same no matter how many times you say it! What right do you have to say that to me? It was obviously you who wronged me first. When you were close to Lin Qingshuang and you cared about her so much, did you ever consider my feelings?"
"Do you want me to watch you two stay together forever? Watch you work hard to find various resources for her, watch you protect her safety at all times, help her improve her cultivation, and finally ascend to the upper realm with her?"
"Who is your Taoist partner?"
"Even when she provoked me, you remained indifferent, and instead protected her intentionally or unintentionally. Is this what you call ordinary cooperation between the two of you? Obviously, even couples don't have such selfless dedication as you do, so why do you want me to understand you?"
Nan Yan seemed unable to suppress the grievance in her heart as she spoke, and she became angrier and angrier. "When you first treated me, you were disgusted and hateful. You scolded me whenever you wanted and bullied me whenever you wanted. Have you ever protected me like this? Even now, you have never considered my feelings. Why should I be with you like this? If you don't mind my senior being so gentle and considerate to me, I naturally won't mind you treating her like this."
After all, in the eyes of her junior sister, she knew none of his reasons and difficulties. All she knew was that she had been provoked in private recently, and the woman he was protecting openly told her how close their relationship was. Could a normal person tolerate such a thing?
Besides, even if she knew those reasons and difficulties, what would it matter? Knowing it didn't mean that she had to be sympathetic to him. He himself couldn't do something that he didn't mind at all, so why should she not mind it?
Fortunately, she really didn't care about him, otherwise she would be really angry. Did she have to give in again and again just because she liked him? But why should she give in when it comes to their relationship?
After hearing these words, Jing Wuyan's expression froze. The anger in his chest was instantly extinguished, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.
He frowned, looking a little unhappy.
This matter was indeed his problem, but he had an irresistible reason. He had used up nearly half of his divine power and soul power to help Lin Qingshuang be reborn. He must bring Lin Qingshuang to the upper realm in this life. He could not delay any longer. There was only less than a hundred years left, and he had to do this.
But looking at Nan Yan in front of him, her eyes were slightly red and her mood was obviously unstable.
Jing Wuyan was silent for a moment, but he softened his heart a little. He couldn't help but soften his expression. He raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her cheek, and explained in a low voice, "Okay, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now. It's my fault."
Nan Yan couldn't help but retort, "You were wrong in the first place."
Jing Wu paused, looked down at the person, and thought of what she said, and sighed softly, "Yan Yan, things are not what you think."
The previous anger was no longer in his eyes, and his mood was much more stable. He regained his usual calm and composed appearance. "The relationship between Lin Qingshuang and I is just a business and cooperation relationship, nothing else. Her spiritual roots are very special and rare, and it is hard to find them in the world. My concern for her is not as intimate as you think."
He reached out and held her fingers, gently placing them against his chest. "You don't have to worry about these unimportant things. I can assure you that you are the only one I care about. Yanyan, do you believe me?"
He was not a man who would easily give in, but the girl in front of him always made him cross the line and make exceptions. Perhaps this girl was born to be his nemesis.
Nan Yan pulled her fingers out, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and raised her head to look at him straight, "Then do you believe it? In fact, the relationship between me and my senior brother is just an ordinary senior brother and sister. Can you not mind the closeness between me and my senior brother?"
Jing Wuyan stared at her expressionlessly, his eyes dark and silent for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and suppressed the messy and complicated emotions in his heart. "Yanyan, do you really have to do this? I don't want to argue with you. We have finally come to this point. Don't let an outsider affect our relationship, okay?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and refused to speak, which clearly showed that she was unwilling to give up.
There is no other way but to give him a headache and make things difficult for him.
Jing Wuyan rubbed his temples, then reached out to touch her fingers, kneading them gently, and finally asked conciliatoryly, "Tell me, what do you want me to do before you believe me?"
Is this a compromise? Is this bastard so kind?
Nan Yan raised her eyes immediately upon hearing this. Although she was very surprised in her heart, she still showed an aggrieved expression on her face.
With tears in her eyes, she took the initiative to hold his hand, her voice a little hoarse, "You leave Lin Qingshuang and don't get close to her again. I will be the same as you. From now on, I will be honest and will not have anything to do with my senior brother. Also, if Lin Qingshuang provokes me next time, you must help me unconditionally to protect me."
For a girlfriend who is so gentle and considerate, this condition shouldn't be too much.
Jing Wuyan looked down at the soft and delicate little hand tightly holding his palm. This was obviously her concession. He moved his fingers, wanting to hold her. It was obviously an easy task, but at this moment, he felt it was a little difficult.
After a long silence, he spoke softly.
"What if... I can't do it? Yanyan?"
Well, can't do it? Then she has a reason to make trouble.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person opposite him burst into tears. A drop of warm tear fell directly on his finger, and the burned finger of Jing Wuyan curled up unconsciously.
Nan Yan was obviously aggrieved and unwilling. She was even a little anxious at the moment. Because of her agitation, she held his fingers even harder. "I have already retreated to this extent. Why can't you retreat a little for me as well?"
"Is Lin Qingshuang so important to you? Jing Wuyan, is it really me that you care about? How can I trust you like this? Do you care about Lin Qingshuang so much? Do you care about her so much that you can even give me up for her?"
Jing Wuyan looked at his beloved who was crying non-stop in front of him and felt a headache for a moment. He subconsciously reached out and hugged her into his arms, patting her back to comfort her, "Yanyan, don't cry... It's really not what you think."
"But she has already provoked me. What should I do? Senior Sister said it herself, saying that you two are inseparable and very close. How can I accept this?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Wuyan's expression instantly turned cold.
It was also his negligence. He had been quite lazy since being with Yanyan, and because of the quarrel between them some time ago, he had no time to cultivate and care about others. That was why he did not notice Lin Qingshuang's abnormality at the first time, and the things she did in private.
He originally thought that the woman would be smarter after living a new life, but he still didn't expect her to be so stupid.
In fact, he vaguely guessed that the reason why Lin Qingshuang had been targeting Yanyan recently was nothing more than because of the messy things in her previous life. However, Yanyan didn't know about those things. She was even the most innocent, but that idiot still wanted to make a fuss about her.
Jing Wuyan's eyes grew colder. Although he couldn't take Lin Qingshuang's life directly, if she provoked him again, he would definitely make her regret coming into this world.
Thinking of this, Jing Wuyan held her a little tighter, "Yanyan, don't worry. I will give you an explanation about this matter. Don't cry, okay? Except for leaving, I can promise you everything else."
Nan Yan was a little upset because he refused to compromise.
She covered her chest and pushed the person next to her away. She didn't know when her tears stopped. She said angrily, "Jing Wuyan, I've said it before. If you bully me and let me down in the future, I will leave you without hesitation. I don't need you."
After she finished speaking, she saw Jing Wuyan's face, hidden in the light and shadow, suddenly became vexed, but he still restrained himself from losing control of his emotions. "Yanyan, don't say such things. I've said before, I will give you an explanation."
Nan Yan was so angry that she said whatever she wanted to say. The more hurtful her words were, the more she deliberately provoked him. Her voice became sharper, "Why can't I say it? I didn't like you in the first place. You made me feel wronged. Why can't I leave you?"
Maybe the word "I don't like it" really irritated him.
Jing Wuyan's eyes were cold and his face was so cold that it made people shudder. After a long time, he sneered, "Yanyan, not everyone will pamper you as unconditionally as your senior brother."
He raised his hand and grabbed the person opposite him.
His eyes no longer had the calmness and rationality they had before. He looked at people with a misty look in his eyes. "You have been spoiled by your senior brother and have no law to follow. Now you have a really bad temper. You are arrogant, willful, sensitive, impulsive, and moody."
"Why do you think I must have you? Yanyan, I don't have a bad temper. I coax you and pamper you because I care about you. If I force you to stay by my side, I have many ways to make you stay by my side and never go anywhere in your life. Yanyan, do you really have to make me angry?"
If it were anyone else, they might really be frightened by his majestic aura, but the person he met was Nan Yan, and she would not be swayed by any tricks.
Jing Wuyan's hands held the person tightly. Nan Yan couldn't struggle free. She was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she still refused to give in. She raised her eyes and stared at him intently, "If you really treat me like that, I will die in front of you, and you will guard my corpse for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Jing Wuyan's face changed drastically.
At that moment, he only felt a nameless anger gradually rising and accumulating in his chest, anger was surging all over his body, and a stream of blood rushed directly to his head, making him lose his mind in an instant.
So without thinking, he raised his hand and smashed the night-shining pearl placed beside the bed. The round, white beads fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of fragments on the spot.
Nan Yan was frightened and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
The person next to her pulled her over violently, and Nan Yan accidentally bumped into his chest, and was pinched on the chin and scolded.
"Don't keep talking about death. Who are you threatening? You little girl, do you think I don't dare to teach you a lesson now, so you keep making trouble?"
Jing Wuyan squeezed these words out of his throat, clenching his knuckles so tightly that Nan Yan felt a little pain in her jaw.
As the pain intensified, she could no longer bear it, and her eyes became even redder. "You think I'm being unreasonable, right? Get out! Get away! Never show up in front of me again from now on. I was blind before, so I fell in love with someone like you. I should have known that there would be no one in the world who would treat me as well as my senior brother. Stay away from me, Jing Wuyan, I don't want to see you again!"
As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably, and she didn't know whether it was regret or sadness.
Jing Wuyan's face was grim. He was stunned when he heard these words, and then he became even more angry. It was the first time that he was so angry that he lost his mind and could not control his emotions.
"I told you not to mention other men in front of me."
Nan Yan bit her lip. She still felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger. She stabbed him in the heart again, "Why can't I mention it? I just like my senior brother. I just care about my senior brother. That's why you can't stand it? Then why do you want me to stand the people around you? Go away, stay away from me. I'm disgusted when I see you now. I want to vomit when I see you!"
Jing Wuyan was probably so angry with her that he lost his mind.
He didn't expect that the person he was thinking about so much would not only call another man's name in front of him, but now she was telling him openly that she just liked someone else!
Oh, what stupid thing had he done?
Why did he become as stupid as Lin Qingshuang in his previous life, humble himself to such an extent for a woman, for a little illusory feeling.
His repeated compromises only resulted in this little girl becoming more and more demanding. All she relied on was his liking for her, but what if he no longer liked her?
What qualifications does she have to boss him around?
But even though he wanted to think this way, he still couldn't control his emotions and wanted to hold that naughty girl in his arms and give her a good beating.
Jing Wuyan sneered, and the more he sneered, the angrier he became. A chill emanated from his whole body, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. An inexplicable emotion shattered all his previous rationality and made him completely uncalm.
But he was used to being able to control himself. He told himself in his heart that she was just a woman, and he never forced anything on a woman.
Since she didn't want to be with him, since she still loved someone else in her heart, why did he keep pestering her? He made himself look like a ghost.
Perhaps when people are extremely angry, they will ignore all the emotions in their hearts and just want to vent the anger in their hearts.
Jing Wuyan then completely exploded, the threat in his voice so cold that ice chips could fall out, "Okay, very good! You care about your brother, don't you? You want to draw a line between you and me, don't you?"
"Okay, I tell you, I, Jing Wuyan, never force women. Since you don't care about me, since you feel disgusted when you see me, and since you want to vomit when you see me, then I will fulfill your wish."
"From now on, I will draw a clear line between you and me!" Jing Wuyan stared at her coldly. When he said this, his expression was so cold that it almost dripped water. There was even a viciousness in his eyes that could not be ignored. "Su Nanyan, you'd better do what you say, remember your promise, and never come to me again!"
Nan Yan was stunned. She bit her lips tightly, with an expression of grievance and disbelief in her eyes.
But he refused to give in and maintained his dignity. Tears welled up in his eyes but he was too stubborn to let them fall.
In the end, she was so angry that her chest felt stuffy and even the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.
"Get lost!"
"I won't look for you even if I die..."
"Jing Wuyan, you bastard!"
Nan Yan couldn't help shivering while cursing. Then she reached out, picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at the man opposite without hesitation. Jing Wuyan grabbed the pillow and threw it to the ground with his backhand.
Jing Wuyan sneered, "You'd better do what you say."
Nan Yan was pushed by the force of being thrown away, and she was unable to stop herself in time and accidentally fell on the soft couch behind her. Fortunately, the quilt on the couch was thick, so she was not hurt too much.
But I couldn't help but let the tears fall one by one.
Jing Wuyan on the opposite side saw this scene and subconsciously clenched his fingers. At that moment, he inexplicably had the urge to walk over, hold the person in his arms and comfort him.
Just thinking of the irritating words that the little girl had just said, his eyes turned slightly cold, his thin lips pursed, and he turned around and left without hesitation.
