Chapter 128: Torturing that Immortal Cultivator (19)
But there is no doubt about his feelings for Yun Gui, he definitely doesn't dislike her.
However, Yun Gui seemed to have misunderstood Jiang Yan's reaction.
His originally bright eyes dimmed, and he became listless. He hung his head like a wronged puppy and muttered to himself:
"Yan Yan doesn't like Senior Brother? That... that's fine too. Senior Brother won't be like this again in the future."
As he spoke, his tall and strong body actually trembled slightly, as if he had suffered a great blow.
He is clearly a strong man, but now he looks extremely aggrieved and pitiful.
When Jiang Yan saw Yun Gui like this, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by a needle, and it hurt in waves.
He could no longer care about anything else, and held Yun Gui's hand tightly, explaining anxiously:
"Brother, it's not like that. I don't dislike you, really! It's just that I'm too shy, so..."
At the end of his speech, his voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible, and his ears, cheeks and neck were all red and hot.
"In short...in short, I really don't have such thoughts! I'm just too shy and a little embarrassed, that's all. Brother, please don't let your imagination run wild..."
Jiang Yan spoke these words haltingly, his voice becoming smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible.
His eyes, which were always clear and bright, did not dare to look directly at the person in front of him, but wandered around in panic.
Over the years, when has Jiang Yan ever spoken to anyone in such a coquettish and soft tone?
He was so nervous that his breathing became rapid, and his hands were tightly gripping the blanket beneath him. Because he was holding on too tightly, a faint white layer appeared on his fingertips.
Yun Gui, who had been gazing at Jiang Yan quietly, couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in his heart after seeing his beloved's shy and lovely appearance.
He could no longer bear to continue pretending to be ignorant, so he quickly stretched out his arms and hugged Jiang Yan tightly in his arms, and put his face intimately on Jiang Yan's slender white neck and rubbed it gently, saying softly:
"Alright, alright, my Yanyan, I know I was wrong. I will never guess your thoughts like this again. Just rest assured."
Then, Yun Gui seemed to suddenly remember something and asked again:
"By the way, Yanyan, are you still hurting? I might have lost control a little last night and hurt you. What if I do? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan's cheeks, which were already red, instantly turned as red as ripe apples, almost bleeding.
He stammered in response: "It's... not so bad."
In fact, it would be a lie to say that it was not uncomfortable at all. After all, both of them were tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time and had no experience at all.
But even though Jiang Yan was in a state of blurred consciousness last night, he could still clearly feel the cautiousness and gentle care contained in Yun Gui's every move. Jiang Yan loved the feeling of being cherished in the palm of his beloved's hand.
Yun Gui gently extended his hand and ruffled Jiang Yan's smooth hair. He smiled and said, "Let's go wash up first, then go downstairs to have breakfast. After breakfast, we will return to the sect."
His voice was low and magnetic, and seemed to carry a reassuring power.
During this period of time, the situation in the world has been turbulent and various troubles have followed one after another.
Especially the barrier set up a hundred years ago, there seemed to be some abnormal conditions. This was a major matter concerning the safety of the entire cultivation world, and we had to discuss countermeasures with the headmaster and all the uncles.
In addition, the demons are rampant everywhere, making life miserable for the people. This matter also needs to be reported to the sect urgently, and we should discuss the countermeasures together.
On the way back, they encountered many ferocious and brutal monsters.
However, thanks to their profound cultivation and exquisite spells, as well as their tacit cooperation, these monsters were defeated and destroyed one by one.
Although there were some twists and turns along the way, fortunately, we finally arrived safely at the mountains where the sect was located.
As they gradually approached the mountain gate, the disciple in charge of guarding the gate on the mountain saw Jiang Yan and Yun Gui walking towards them from a distance.
One of the disciples suddenly became excited and quickly reached out to pat the shoulder of another disciple beside him, lowering his voice to urge, "Oh my! Hurry up, hurry up, go inform the master that the Immortal Venerable and the Immortal Lord are back!"
After saying this, the disciple stared intently at the two people who were getting closer and closer.
Not long after, Jiang Yan and Yun Gui arrived at the mountain gate.
The disciples guarding the gate quickly opened the mountain-guarding barrier, bowed respectfully, and saluted them, shouting in unison: "Immortal Venerable Su Xuan, Immortal Lord Wen Qiu."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly in response.
Then, under Yun Gui's guidance, he quickly climbed the mountain and walked straight towards the hall.
Just as he was about to reach the main hall, he ran into Sect Leader Jin who was also rushing over.
When Sect Leader Jin saw the two of them, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickened his pace to greet them.
"Master uncle." Jiang Yan bowed respectfully towards the person in front of him, with a hint of fatigue on his face.
Yun Gui, who was following closely behind Jiang Yan, also bowed to the headmaster uncle and said softly, "Headmaster uncle."
Then he bowed slightly to the two of them and took his leave, turned around and returned to Qinghuan Peak first. He wanted to go back and prepare meals for Jiang Yan.
Sect Master Jin, who was called the head master uncle, smiled and raised his hand, indicating that the two of them did not need to be so polite. His eyes fell on Jiang Yan who had just returned, and asked with concern:
"Wen Qiu is finally back. You've worked hard on the journey. Tell us quickly, what's the current situation of those monsters?"
Jiang Yan shook his head lightly, frowning, and replied in a heavy tone:
"The demonic barrier has become increasingly unstable in recent years. The demons are acting recklessly and have already massacred many villages and towns below the mountain."
Jiang Yan sighed and continued, "Those innocent villagers are suffering terribly. They are living in dire straits. I wonder when the major sects will be able to send people down the mountain to eradicate these evils for the people."
At this point, Sect Leader Jin's expression became serious, and he slowly responded:
"Well, to be honest, it's not just our sect that's been harassed by the demons this time. Most of the other prestigious and upright sects haven't been spared either. Currently, every sect has sent their disciples down the mountain to deal with this crisis."
Changing the subject, Sect Leader Jin shifted his gaze towards the looming demonic barrier in the distance and sighed worriedly:
"Unfortunately, the most difficult problem right now is that a crack has appeared in this barrier, and with our current capabilities, we are currently unable to completely repair it..."
