Chapter 39 The Deer-Slaying Knife Chapter 39 Slaying the Deer...
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Deer-Slaying Knife
Gongzi Mingyue had never felt so happy. Before, he had always drifted through the human world like a male ghost, because he didn't feel like he was alive or truly living. Because of this, he didn't care about many things, and even less about himself.
But now, he finally felt truly alive. He was overjoyed, utterly overjoyed, as if his soul had finally touched the real world. Because he felt the real sunlight, the sunlight she had given him.
Previously, Gongzi Mingyue had felt that if she could share some of the sunshine emanating from her, she would surely feel warmth herself. Now it seems that was indeed true. She is now her friend, which is wonderful.
"Mingyue?" Linghao thought that Young Master Mingyue was in a daze, and helplessly waved her hand in front of him. Actually, he looked quite handsome when he was in a daze. Although he looked blank, he was good-looking. Even if he was a fool, he was a very handsome fool.
However, Linghao always felt that there was an elusive aura about Gongzi Mingyue, and she was worried that he might say goodbye to the mortal world at any time. So, whenever he seemed to be drifting away from the mortal world, she would reach out and forcibly pull him back.
Just like now.
Gongzi Mingyue snapped out of his reverie and looked at Linghao with a smile. "I was thinking how delicious these lychees are. The ones you gave me are even more delicious. Shici mentioned that you gave her a lychee, and I've been jealous for a long time." As he spoke, he peeled the lychee in his hand, but instead of eating it himself, he placed it on the plate in front of Linghao.
His hands were as if carved from the finest white jade, and the red lychees on his hands made his fingers appear even more lustrous.
"Hmm?" Ling Hao swallowed the lychee in one gulp, only then remembering who she had given lychees to. Besides Dongfang Bubai, there was only the woman she had unexpectedly met. "That person was Shici?" So she was following her back then; she thought she was just passing by.
This also explains why the other person looked worried and surprised at the time; they probably didn't expect to find her.
"I hope Ah Hao won't be angry?" Young Master Mingyue asked cautiously when this was mentioned.
"No way, poetry is about following orders, why would I get angry?" Ling Hao understood; as a working person, she always had to listen to her boss, so why would she argue with her?
"I meant me," Gongzi Mingyue said angrily. "I meant whether Ahao is angry with me or not."
"No, not at all." Ling Hao also peeled a lychee for Gongzi Mingyue. "I know you didn't mean any harm, but you can't do that again. I don't like it."
She wasn't a magnanimous person, but she wasn't petty either. In the past few days, she had learned about Gongzi Mingyue's lack of social skills; he was completely clueless in this area, like a child acting solely on instinct, clearly someone who hadn't been taught.
Thinking about this, Ling Hao couldn't help but feel that his elders were being quite unreasonable. They were both children, so why was Gongzi Yu so well-mannered, while Gongzi Mingyue was left to fend for herself? Favoritism, going too far, humph!
But it doesn't matter. If they favor Gongzi Yu, then she'll favor Gongzi Mingyue. After all, they're friends. Thinking this, Linghao's gaze softened as she looked at him.
Gongzi Mingyue nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I definitely won't do that again in the future, I'll listen to you, Ahao." He liked it when she looked at him like that, it was really warm, like being under the warm sun, it felt so good.
“However,” Ling Hao’s eyebrows relaxed, a hint of approval in her eyes, “you did a very good job regarding the Qingcheng Sect.” She also disliked the Qingcheng Sect, but it would be quite troublesome for her to go head-to-head with an entire sect on her own.
Furthermore, since Yu Canghai was practically crippled by her and had lost his spirit, and the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual was still widely circulated, the predicament of the Fuwei Escort Agency was resolved, so Ling Hao no longer considered deliberately going against the entire Qingcheng Sect. She hadn't reached the point of seeing herself as a savior; she could only do what was within her power.
However, this didn't mean she didn't want the Qingcheng Sect to suffer. So, after learning what Gongzi Mingyue had done, she felt a sense of satisfaction. Hahaha, serves you right for being arrogant and domineering, for bullying people everywhere, for acting like a bandit! Now you're in trouble, you deserve it!
Upon hearing Ling Hao's praise, Gongzi Mingyue seemed to glow with pride. "Really?"
"Really, really." Linghao was amused by Gongzi Mingyue, and the feeling of that little dog she used to have came back to her, so she reached out and touched his head.
Gongzi Mingyue not only didn't find anything wrong with it, but even lowered his head to cooperate. This was the order; if it were anyone else, their hand would be severed the moment they reached out.
"Alright, hurry up and eat the lychees." Ling Hao withdrew her hand and saw that Gongzi Mingyue looked reluctant to eat them. She smiled and said, "We're setting off tomorrow. If we go any further, we won't be able to eat such fresh lychees anymore."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." This is the sentence that Young Master Mingyue has said most often these past few days.
Linghao didn't find anything strange. She just thought that he really had no friends before, which was why he was so obedient to her. Luckily, she wasn't a bad person, otherwise this idiot would have been in trouble.
"News has come from the poetry and literature side. For some reason, the disciples of the Huashan Sect didn't go to Hengshan, but instead went to Jinan. As for Yue Buqun, he probably took some unknown side road, and we haven't found him yet." As he spoke, Gongzi Mingyue sounded somewhat ashamed.
Sigh, it's all his brother's fault for being incompetent. His organization is expanding too slowly. Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to find someone? He needs to write back and tell his brother to work harder to expand his family's influence, so that it won't be so troublesome for him to help Ah Hao in the future.
Unaware of the truth, Gongzi Mingyue prepared to write a letter to condemn his brother. One can only imagine how unpleasant Gongzi Yu's expression would be when he woke up and saw this memory again.
"Going to Jinan?" Ling Hao didn't know what Gongzi Mingyue was thinking, only wondering if something big had happened in Jinan. Oh dear, there were too many people in this world; she couldn't think of anything at the moment. "Is something happening in Jinan?"
Instead of trying to figure it out herself, she should just ask Gongzi Mingyue. Although his brother Gongzi Yu's influence in the martial arts world isn't as widespread as it will be later, his sources of information are definitely more numerous and reliable than hers, so it's better to ask him.
“Jinan…” Young Master Mingyue thought for a moment, “It seems there’s a treasured sword called the Deer-Slaying Knife recently, said to be in the Jinzhen Shen family in Jinan. It’s said that no other sword in the world can match its sharpness. The Jinzhen Shen family has spread the word that they want to find a master for the sword.”
He couldn't remember how he knew about this, since Shici hadn't informed him. But Gongzi Mingyue wasn't too concerned; it was just a minor matter, nothing to worry about.
"A deer-slaying knife." Ling Hao raised his eyebrows, his eyes brimming with interest.
