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 startled 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.
“你別碰我，我現在不想跟你說話，我又不欠你什麽，你也不是我的什麽人，你沒資格管着我。再說了，誰讓你半夜三更偷摸溜進我屋裏吓我的，我會認錯也是很正常的。”
她還在嘴硬。
鏡無延自認為自己并不是心胸狹窄的小氣男人，他的脾氣已經很克制了，可這話一說出來，鏡無延心中原本只是憋着的一股悶氣瞬間“噌”地一下變成了一簇火苗，在胸腔內迅速地蔓延燃燒起來，眉眼間染上一層怒意，其實他最近真的很少生氣了，不過這丫頭總是能毫無顧忌地挑戰他的底線。
他其實沒那麽介意她喊錯了人，只要哄哄他就行了，他介意的是她喊錯人之後的态度。
鏡無延冷笑一聲，強行握住她的手腕，将人拉扯過來，“別碰？更親密的事情我們都做過了，你現在讓我別碰你，怎麽，你現在是想反悔了嗎？覺得我不如你的好師兄體貼溫柔，所以想拍拍裙子走人了嗎？”
當着他的面喊別的男人名字也就罷了，如今還這麽一副同他劃清界線的态度。
這臭丫頭的脾氣這般喜怒無常，喜新厭舊，是吃準了他不會生氣是嗎？
鏡無延越說聲音便越冷，再次伸手捏住了她的臉，調子微沉，“我那晚是不是警告過你了，碰了我就得負責任，我不是你招之即來，揮之即去的利用工具，怎麽，你現在這副态度是後悔了嗎？”
南嫣被捏得眼裏冒出生理性的水光，大概是自兩人親近之後，這人還從來沒有這樣冷漠的對待過她，讓她面上也露出一絲委屈的神情，越委屈便越是惱怒。
南嫣幹脆破罐子破摔，不怕死地朝他喊，“對，沒錯，我就是後悔了。”
鏡無延面色瞬間陰沉了下來，目光冰冷盯着眼前這個滿口胡言不知死活的臭丫頭。
“你再說一遍試試？”
南嫣才不管他，擡手“啪”的一聲，将對方的手背拍開了，眼眶有些微紅，淚水在眼睛裏打轉兒，“再說幾遍也是一樣的！你憑什麽這麽說我？明明是你自己先對不起我的，你跟林清霜親近的時候，你那麽在意她的時候，你有沒有考慮過我的感受？”
“難道你要我往後一直看着你們倆在一起嗎？看着你不辭辛苦的幫她尋找各種資源，看着你時時刻刻的護着她的安全，幫她提升穩固修為，最後再跟她一起飛升上界嗎？”
“到底誰才是你的道侶？”
“就連她挑釁我你也無動于衷，反而還有意無意地護着她，這就是你說的你們倆之間的普通合作？明明夫妻道侶之間都沒有你這般無私奉獻的，你又憑什麽要我去體諒你？”
南嫣說着仿佛有些抑制不住心底的委屈，越說越怒，“你當初對着我的時候都是嫌棄厭惡，想罵就罵，想欺負就欺負，你有這樣護過我嗎？即便是現在，你也從來沒有考慮過我的感受，我為什麽要跟這樣的你在一起？若是你能不介意我師兄這般溫柔體貼的對我，我自然也能不介意你這樣對待她。”
畢竟在她這個小師妹眼中，他的那些理由苦衷她全都不知道，她知道的就是自己最近私下裏被人挑釁，還被他護着的女人光明正大的告知他們倆之間的關系有多親密無間，這樣的事情正常人還能忍嗎？
再說了，就算她真知道了那些理由跟苦衷又如何？知道了也不意味着她一定要體諒對方，明明他自己都做不到毫不介意的事情，又憑什麽要求她不去介意呢？
不過也幸好她真的不在意他，否則這種情況下還不得真給氣死了，難道就因為喜歡，就必須一而再再而三的退讓嗎？可是兩個人的事情，憑什麽偏要她去退讓呢？
鏡無延聽到這番話之後，表情一頓，原先胸腔內的些許怒火瞬間被澆滅了不少，剩下的話也被堵在了喉嚨裏。
他皺了皺眉，面色有些不太好看。
這件事情确實是他的問題，但他有不可抗拒的理由，他耗費了近乎一半的神力魂力助林清霜重生，這輩子是必須要帶林清霜飛升上界的，他已經不能再拖了，只剩下不過百年的時間，這件事情他非做不可。
可是看着眼前眼圈微紅，情緒明顯不穩的南嫣。
鏡無延沉默了片刻，還是有些心軟了，忍不住緩和了面色，擡手輕輕擦拭了下她臉頰的眼淚，低聲解釋着，“好了，對不起。我剛剛不該那樣對你說話，是我的錯。”
南嫣忍不住回怼，“本來就是你先錯。”
鏡無延頓了下，低頭瞧着人，又想到她說的那樣事情，輕呼了一口氣，“嫣嫣，事情不是你想的那樣。”
他眼裏已經沒有了先前的那份惱怒，情緒也穩定了不少，又恢複了往日那副沉穩冷靜的模樣，“我跟林清霜之間只是交易與合作的關系，其他的什麽都沒有，她的靈根特殊罕見，世上難尋，我對她的在意，也并非你想像中的那樣親密。”
他伸手握住她的手指，輕輕貼在胸口的位置，“你不用在意這些無關緊要的事情，我可以向你保證，我心中在意的就只有你一人，嫣嫣，你相信我好嗎？”
他并不是一個輕易心軟妥協的人，但眼前這丫頭總能讓他越過底線，讓他破例，大概這丫頭真的是天生克他。
南嫣将自己的手指抽出來，眼睫上還挂着淚珠，又擡起頭直直瞧着他，“那你信嗎？其實我跟師兄之間也只是普通的師兄妹關系，你可以做到不介意我跟師兄之間的親近嗎？”
鏡無延面無表情盯着她，眸色幽深，沉默了好一會兒，最後才深呼吸一口氣，将心頭那些煩亂複雜的情緒壓進心底深處，“嫣嫣，你真的一定要這樣嗎？我不想同你争吵，我們好不容易才走到如今這種地步，別讓一個外人影響我們之間的關系好嗎？”
南嫣低着頭不肯說話，明顯是不肯善罷甘休的意思。
沒辦法，就是要讓他頭疼為難才好。
鏡無延揉了揉太陽穴，又伸手去摸她的手指，輕輕揉捏着，最後妥協問了句，“你說，到底要我怎麽做，你才肯相信我？”
這就妥協了？這狗男人這麽好心？
南嫣聞言立馬擡眸，雖然心裏十分詫異，但面上還是露出個委屈的表情。
她眼裏含着絲絲水光，主動伸手回握住了他的手掌，聲音有些微啞，“你離開林清霜，不許再接近她了，我就跟你一樣，從今往後我會老老實實的，不會再跟師兄有任何的牽扯。還有，如果林清霜下次再挑釁我的話，你必須得無條件的幫着我維護我。”
她這麽溫柔體貼的女朋友，這個條件應該不算過分吧。
鏡無延低頭看着那只溫軟細膩的小手緊緊握着他的手心，這很明顯是她的讓步，他手指動了下，想握住她，明明輕而易舉的事情，此刻卻覺得有些艱難。
沉默了半晌，他低低開口。
“如果……我做不到呢？嫣嫣？”
嗯，做不到？那她可就有理由鬧了哦。
話音剛落，對面的人眼淚就落下來了，一滴溫熱的淚水直接就落到了他的指頭上，燙的鏡無延手指不自覺地蜷縮了下。
南嫣明顯有些委屈不甘，她此刻甚至有些着急，因為情緒激動，抓着他的手指也愈發用力，“我都已經退步到這個程度了，你為什麽就不能為了我也退讓幾步呢？”
“林清霜對你就那麽重要嗎？鏡無延，你心中在意的人真的是我嗎？你這樣讓我怎麽相信你？你就這麽在意林清霜嗎？在意到甚至能為了她放棄我嗎？”
鏡無延看着面前哭泣不止的心上人，一時有些頭疼，他下意識地伸手将人摟進懷裏，手掌拍着她的後背安撫着，“嫣嫣，別哭……真的不是你想的那樣。”
“可是她都已經挑釁到我面前來了，你讓我怎麽辦？師姐親口說的，說你們倆之間不分彼此，親密無間，你讓我如何能接受？”
聞言，鏡無延面色瞬間冷了下來。
也是他疏忽了，他與嫣嫣在一起後懈怠不少，前段時日又因為兩人争吵的事情，無心修煉更無暇顧及他人，因此這才沒有在第一時間內察覺到林清霜的異常，還有她私下裏做的那些事情。
他原本以為那女人重活一世後會長些腦子，卻還是沒想到她這般愚蠢至極。
其實他隐隐猜到林清霜這段時日一直針對嫣嫣的原因，無非是為了上輩子那些亂七八糟的事情，可嫣嫣并不知曉那些事情，她甚至最為無辜，偏那個蠢貨還要糾纏不清。
鏡無延眸色愈冷，他雖然不能直接要了林清霜的性命，但倘若她再挑釁，他絕對會讓她後悔來到這個世上。
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.
