Chapter 74
His words were reasonable, but not only did the ghost temple involve an important plot, logically, it should have some connection with thefind out the truthmission. If it was really blown up, even more terrible things may follow.
After hearing what Yun Xie said, Jiang Xunyis hand paused for a moment before he quickly wrote a few words and tucked the paper into Yu Hongs arms. Then I am sorry, for my opinion is contrary to yours. But if it is really does come to exploring the ghost temple, one of us should be enough. Ill go in, and you can take care of the situation outside
Yun Xie suddenly burst with anger and interrupted him. You go in alone while I watch? Are you kidding! Are you even talking about a person?
Jiang Xunyi originally said this sincerely, but when he was countered by Yun Xie, he felt bad and blurted out, Yun Xie, Im sorry.
Yun Xie did not expect that he would apologize, so he paused, expression softening, and placed a hand on Jiang Xunyis shoulder. AXun, as I understand it, you are not the type to be curious about the ghost temple. Can you tell me the reason for this?
Jiang Xunyi closed his eyes, and yet he could not find an answer, so he replied, Sorry, there is something I must do. This ghost temple is strange and matters a lot. We dont know what the consequences will be if we blow it up forcibly. If we dont go in and see, it would not be wise to make such a rash decision. I must see it with my own eyes, otherwise I will be uneasy.
Yun Xie couldnt help but frown again, retorting, This matter was originally not your responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you. Have you ever thought about the consequences if you go in by yourself? Why do you always have to care about every mysterious issue? Everyone in that area avoids the temple because of fear, but you rush to volunteer. Jiang Xunyi, are you crazy? In case you want something, I
He paused, mouth curving downwards. When he was agitated just now, his voice had become a little louder. Sometimes I really cant understand you. What is in your heart? Dont think too much, dont do too much, is that not good?
Anger also burst within Jiang Xunyi. Then why do you always stop me? Yun Xie, I am not a three-year-old child, and I have my own motivations when I do things! What are the consequences? Its nothing more than death! Do you think human life is very valuable? How much blood do just you and I have on our hands? You want me to shrink into a shell like a tortoise every time? Are you only satisfied if I dont bother with anything at all?
Yun Xie roared, Since you dont want to live anymore, you can kill me first! For everyone to go die together, we can count it as clean! I am telling you, Jiang Xunyi, I only care about you. What righteousness and common good?! It has nothing to do with me! As long as Im alive, dont even think of being reckless. Even if everyone in the world is dead, you still need to live for me! I cant understand your virtue, so in short, you are not allowed to go!
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and the letter that Yu Hong had just tucked into his arms flew into the air. With a wave of his sleeve, the letter scattered into a pile of scraps.
Jiang Xunyi slammed his palm on the stone table next to him. Why do you have so many problems? If you cant understand, then leave!
Yun Xie was so angry that he trembled, a hand reaching out to point at Jiang Xunyi. Okay, these are your words. After I fucking leave, Im not coming back. If I come back, Ill be your grandson!
As soon as he said this, the two were both shocked. Yu Hong had never seen them act in this way, and he was almost scared to death. At this time, he exhausted his lifes courage to interrupt. Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle Yun, calm down Martial Uncle Yun has good intentions But the words you said, Martial Uncle Yun, were a little too much
Yun Xie had no brains when he was speaking, and as he vented his anger just now, his mind was almost blank. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Xunyi only to see that Jiang Xunyi was also staring at him calmly.
As soon as Yun Xie made eye contact, he immediately weakened, and regret poured over him like waves. His mind could only think that Jiang Xunyi was handsome and fierce, and he both liked and feared him. He immediately wished to swallow the words that he had just said, his heart shouting, Please say something. Just one line, just one line and I will not go!
Jiang Xunyi finally opened his mouth. Under Yun Xies nervous stare, he smiled coldly. Go then. I wont see you off.
Yun Xie was lost for a while, then repeated angrily, Okay, if I come back again, I will be your grandson!
He turned and walked away.
Worried, Yu Hong called out, Martial Uncle Yun
Jiang Xunyi waved his hand. Yu Hong, let him go.
Yu Hong didnt expect his tone to be so peaceful. He turned his head in surprise, but only saw that Jiang Xunyi had stood up and was walking slowly to his room. Its late. You should go back, too.
Yu Hong looked at the paper torn by Yun Xie, and his words died on his tongue. He did not dare to ask Jiang Xunyi what to do, so he turned around in distress and went back to his room.
In fact, his worries were all in vain, because Yun Xie regretted it less than three minutes after he went out.
He wandered outside the courtyard of the building they lived in until the soles of his shoes had thinned, and only when he was almost blown away by the cold wind did he finally recover his sanity.
What am I doing? That stinky boy Jiang Xunyi is too irritating. He acts based on impulse and never takes his life seriously. Does he even have logic? No way, I can no longer spoil him. His bad temper is from being spoiled under Jiang Molous sect. Ive known for a long time that I cant have a good face when dealing with such a little bastard and I dont know if his internal injury has healed. If he gets angry now, wont it affect the injury? Well, in fact, I am also in the wrong, and I should admit it I said that if I go back, I will be his grandson, uh, grandson is just a grandson!
He talked to himself as if he had a mental problem, seemingly fighting with heaven and earth on his own. After a while, he looked up and found that he had already reached the door of Jiang Xunyis room. There was the slight glow of candlelight inside, but there was no sound.
Yun Xie paused before finally gathering the courage to put on a bold front and kick the door. Grandpa, open the door!
Thedoor squeaked open. It turned out to be unlocked.
Yun Xie walked in, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he found that Jiang Xunyi was lying on the bed without a quilt, and it was not clear if he was asleep or not.He had taken off his hair crown and put it aside, and his black hair streamed out besides him on the pillows. His face was calm, and he looked beautiful.
Yun Xies heart thumped, and he lifted his robe to sit on the edge of the bed. Stretching out his hand, he stroked his face, brushing away the strands of hair on Jiang Xunyis forehead.
His voice was soft as he said, Dont pretend, I know you are not asleep.
Jiang Xunyi opened his eyes, his eyebrows as calm as water, and his face carried no joking intention. Just as he opened his mouth, Yun Xies other hand pressed his lips.
Im sorry. Yun Xie said, Lets go to the ghost temple together.
You
I dont know what your plan is, and I dont know what you are doing, but no matter what, I wont let go of your hand.
After turning the words around in his heart for a while, he had finally let them out, and it felt as if a big rock has been lifted off his chest. Yun Xie smiled, feeling that the moonlight was hazy like wine. Those who breathed it in began to feel dizzy as if drunk. And under this drunkenness, Yun Xie saw an expression he had never seen before on the man besides him.
Yun Xie patted Jiang Xunyi and covered him with a quilt. However, he himself did not make a move to lie down. He just leaned against the bed and whispered, Go to sleep, I will guard you.
Yun Xie, Jiang Xunyi whispered. You told me the truth today. What have you been worried about all the time?
Yun Xie didnt speak, but Jiang Xunyi knew that he had heard it. After a long time, Yun Xies voice rang out again. Im worried about wronging you.
In fact, he worried about a lot of things: if Jiang Xunyi was injured, if he was sad, if he would leave him, and the most worrying thing was if Jiang Xunyi had only ever seen him as a brother but only accepted as to not ruin the friendship, and thus meaning Yun Xie had wronged him.
Although he only said five words, Yun Xie felt that Jiang Xunyi should understand his meaning. He smiled softly, quietly helped tuck him in the quilt, and added, But no matter if you love me back or not, I love you still.
Jiang Xunyi inhaledand letout a long sigh, then suddenly moved his hand to feel around the inside of the bed. During Yun Xies momentary pause, a long sword was already placed between the two people.
He grabbed Jiang Xunyis hand and smiled. You want to kill me?
Jiang Xunyi also smiled. His wrist shook, and the scabbard slipped off. The whole room filled with light from the sword.
Yun Xie couldnt help but look over, and he blurted out, Good sword!
This sword is called Kunwu. It is a famous sword handed down from ancient times. It cuts jade like mud, and alerts you when there is danger. It will not be worse than your Bright River sword. Jiang Xunyi turned the hilt upside down and handed it over. Here you are.
It was indeed an ancient sword, but it was not just any piece of broken copper and iron that could be picked up on the street. It must have taken a lot of effort to obtain, and yet Yun Xie had no idea when he had the time to find such a treasure.
Yun Xie stammered, You, when did you
The first time I asked where your Bright River sword went, you said that you didnt bring it out. I knew something must have been wrong, and so thinking of that, I got this sword. I hope it can continue to protect you. Although I didnt expect the Bright River sword to be broken. I dont know any other who has such ability You broke it yourself, right?
Yun Xie closed his eyes for a moment, then finally said, I hurt you with it.
Jiang Xunyi suddenly stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the back of Yun Xies hand, which was holding the hilt of the sword, letting him feel the temperature of his palm. Yun Xie, I have never made hasty decisions out of sympathy or guilt. Believe me, I will always be by your side, forever.
The warmthfrom hishands seemed to penetrate to the bottom of his heart. Yun Xie opened his eyes, the dazzling light from the sword illuminating both Jiang Xunyis face and his heart.
It seemed as if the uneasiness, struggles, and regret had instantly turned into the kind of stability that was the subject of melodies sung during nights on the desert, south of the Yangtze River.One of Yun Xies hands was still placed on Jiang Xunyis cheek, and he involuntarily leaned down, their breaths intertwining.
As if enchanted, he lowered his eyes and kissed him. As for the sword between them, one of them had waved a hand and knocked it to the ground with a clang.
It seemed as if someone was whispering lightly, the gentle thoughts softly saying, Thank you, not only for your company, but also for all the difficulties I have brought you
Early the next morning, Yun Xies first reaction when he opened his eyes was to look to his side.On the inside of the bed, Jiang Xunyi had turned on his side, facing him. He had yet to wake up, and his forehead rested on Yun Xies shoulder.
Yun Xie held his breath cautiously and did not dare to move. After a long while, he raised his other hand and gently put it on Jiang Xunyis waist, a smile on his face.
Although no one was watching now, he still recognized that he was smiling so stupidly that it damaged his wise martial artist image. Unfortunately even after several attempts to stop, the corners of his mouth went higher and higher, and he just wanted to go out and yell in the yard to express his joy. At the same time, he also wanted to kiss Jiang Xunyis side profile a few times.
With great exertion, Yun Xie tried to restrain his passionate heart, and he quietly hugged Jiang Xunyi, waiting for him to slowly wake up.
Jiang Xunyi opened his eyes and saw that Yun Xies silly smiling face was filled with refreshing energy. After two minutes of confusion, he gradually felt that there was no place on his body that was right. Remembering yesterday evening, he immediately raised his leg and gave Yun Xie a kick.
Yun Xie didnt dodge or avoid, letting him kick, but Jiang Xunyi took a breath and overexerted himself, feeling that his old waist was not his own.
Yun Xie hurriedly asked, Where does it hurt? I will rub it for you.
Jiang Xunyi made a pei sound. Stop being a wolf in sheep skin, if it wasnt for you
Hmm? What about me? Yun Xie rubbed his waist gently, saying with a smirk, I gave you a chance, but you didnt know how. AXun, I really didnt expect you to be soAiya!
Jiang Xunyi scolded, Shameless! Shut up, or I will kill you with a single sword!
Yun Xie whined sadly, Hey, youre so ruthless. Last night we were in the bridal chamber, today you murder your husband
Jiang Xunyi couldnt listen anymore and pushed him. Alright, stop acting.
Yun Xie was pushed away by him, but he slid up again and said with a smirk, AXun, dont you remember? I asked if you knew how to do it?
Jiang Xunyi was not as shameless as he was, so he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Yun Xie didnt seem to be joking. Suddenly he stretched out his hand to embrace Jiang Xunyi and rocked him in his arms. He asked, half acting like a baby, half serious, Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was wondering what would you do if I told you that I could only spend my life with a man, and that I need you to stay with me.
Jiang Xunyi didnt expect the hole in Yun Xies brain to be so big. He couldnt help but feel stunned. Just as he was about to say that he was talking nonsense, he turned his head and caught the seriousness in Yun Xies smiling eyes.
The words he had planned to say were lost now, and he hesitated, answering honestly, Mostly I will agree.
Yun Xie smiled softly, and involuntarily tightened his arms. He buried his head slightly in Jiang Xunyis shoulder and whispered, Yeah, our AXun is really the kindest. I thought that, and so I thought that if I could get with you, I could castrate myself Not only castrate myself, if you wanted me to cut myself a thousand times, I would do it!
He didnt expect Yun Xie, who has always been proud, to have such an idea. Although absurd, Jiang Xunyi could see that he was telling the truth. In a moment of emotion, he whispered, Yun Xie
Unexpectedly, Yun Xie nibbled the side of his neck and laughed softly, But I really didnt expect you to know nothing. Hey, we were close to ruining our lifelong happiness, but we didnt, how fortunate how fortunate.
Jiang Xunyi returned with a punch. Yun Xie, get out!
He didnt expect to hit so hard just now. This person was like a bandaid, unmoving, but he had put his whole heart into this conversation and was completely unprepared for the hit. In this moment, Yun Xie was actually knocked under the bed.
Yun Xie sat on the ground foolishly, and the two people looked at each other. They suddenly couldnt help laughing at the same time.
In fact, it would have been fine to be able to live like this for a lifetime.
However, even if the tree wishes for peace, the wind continues on. Troubles in this world were always unavoidable. The two of them had been intimate for a long time already, so just as Jiang Xunyi dressed and went out, Yu Hong recklessly rushed in.
Martial Uncle, I just went to Martial Uncle Yun Xies room and found that he hasnt come back yet. Do you think we should
Hiswords stopped abruptly when he saw Yun Xie popping out from behind Jiang Xunyi, tying his belt as he said with a smile, Why are you looking for me?
Yu Hong looked at him and then at Jiang Xunyi, and was pleasantly surprised. Martial Uncle Yun, you are back? You came to see my uncle so early, no wonder I didnt see you.
Yun Xie smiled and said nothing, but he secretly sighed in his heart that this Hidden Spirit faction was filled with inexperienced nerds through and through. He was so dull, it really made sense that he had known Jiang Xunyi since childhood.
Jiang Xunyi said, What happened?
Yu Hong rememberedwhat was going on and smiled bitterly. Someone has died again. This time from the Dus family.
Yun Xies hands, which were fixing his clothes, paused and looked at Jiang Xunyi, then quickly continued, The Du Family? Who is the dead? For their family, who has been cultivating for hundreds of years, to be disposed by a fox spirit, they will be the laughingstock of the world. If I were Du Li, I would definitely cover this matter strictly, without letting anyone know it at all.
Jiang Xunyi said leisurely, Im afraid he is not as far-sighted as you,Sect MasterYun.
Yun Xie shook his head. Not necessarily, not necessarily.
Yu Hong interjected, The two uncles may not know, but Family Head Du had fallen ill. It is said that after his cousin Du Xian passed away, he suffered excessive grief. Now, he cant even get out of bed.
Just as he spoke, knocks rang out on the front door three times, and a voice spoke slowly. The family head of the Du family has taken the liberty to ask to see Sect Master Yun and Young Master Jiang.
Yu Hong:
Yun Xie said, Yu Hong, stop talking next time. Im afraid to see you open your mouth.
