Chapter 43
Although Chu Yu felt a bit uneasy about Xie Xi, nevertheless, Chu Sheng’s att.i.tude was firm . He had given his final word . Chu Sheng pulled him up and then took him away . Leaving no room for any arguments .
Chu Yu silently turned his head back to look at Xie Xi, the expression on his face looked torn .
Xie Xi didn’t let any signs of aggression show . He tilted his head to nod at Chu Yu, he then watched the figures of the Chu family brothers disappear . He stroked the scented sachet at his waist and prepared to return to his room to rest . Third s.h.i.+di very cautiously poked his head out: “Second, Second s.h.i.+xiong, you……aren’t mad?”
Even Lu Qingan had looked over .
Xie Xi wasn’t showing even the slightest hint of anger . He gave a faint smile: “It’s only half a day . Chu Sheng dragged s.h.i.+xiong over there for just half a day . I’ll be going to grab s.h.i.+xiong to bring him back the moment it turns midnight tonight . ”
Third s.h.i.+di: “……”
Second s.h.i.+xiong, you’re too resourceful……
After returning to the Chu family camp, the strained Chu Sheng grabbed Chu Yu and nagged at him for the rest of the day . The main topic was “Although you two have affectionate feelings for each other you still have to be on your guard so you won’t be taken advantage of by that brat . You can’t let that brat get too smug . How hateful of him to s.n.a.t.c.h away my littlest brother……”
Once he had reached the end of his lecture, Chu Sheng felt full of regret . He crouched down in a corner and began to pull at the gra.s.s .
Although Chu Yu couldn’t help incessantly yawning . Seeing how Chu Sheng was grieving, he couldn’t help but crouch down too and stroked Chu Sheng’s head .
Chu Sheng was depressed for a short while, but he still remembered his official matters . He eventually gave a light cough and said: “Emissary Xu be will secretly following behind you . In the future, the Chu family’s disciples will also be waiting for you outside the city……little brother, you have to be extremely careful . Demonic cultivators are treacherous, vicious, wicked, and merciless . You won’t be able to guard against it……”
As he talked, the look on his face little by little became uglier . It could be seen that the conversation was soon going to be derailed . Chu Yu then hurriedly cut him off and nodded his head: “I understand . Big brother should properly look after his injuries and recuperate . I’ll return to my room first to clean up . ”
After placating Chu Sheng, Chu Yu returned to his room for a little while . As he walked, he brainstormed how to once again screw with Song Jinyi .
During today’s encounter, Song Jinyi couldn’t hide those looks of envy and hatred of his even if he wanted to . His eyes had been filled with killing intent and resentment . Who knew what else the original had done to him, except for beating him after entering the sect, to incur so much animosity make him hold such a grudge against Chu Yu even now .
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was disadvantageous for the present Chu family to be making too many enemies, in addition to fact of him being Lu Qingan’s disciple and not wanting to cause him any embarra.s.sment, there was no way that Chu Sheng’s sword would’ve been withdrawn so easily this morning .
Letting this kind of scourge that repeatedly tried to harm others live made it difficult for people around to have any peace of mind .
Chu Yu mulled over it for a while but nothing came to mind . In the end could only calm his mind, sit down and begin to cultivate . Before due to Shen Nian’s injured soul
still being inside his body, because he had to nourish that injured soul, a portion of his spiritual energy would be allocated to Shen Nian’s soul whenever he cultivated . Ever since Lu Qingan had taken out Shen Nian’s injured soul, Chu Yu felt much lighter . The sensation of cultivating was a lot smoother now compared to how it had been before .
After he had circulated his spiritual energy through his body several times, Chu Yu opened his eyes .
In front of him, there was a face .
Close, it was extremely close . He could feel the other person’s warm breath . There was a tiny spot of smiling intent within that pair of glossy, black eyes .
It startled Chu Yu to the point that he felt a tingly, numbing sensation on his scalp . His soul almost fled in disarray . He immediately closed his eyes .
F***, why was it that ever since he returned, the protagonist loved to use this method in particular to appear?! It’s quite startling okay!
Forcefully suppressing that numbing sensation with some effort, Chu Yu opened his eyes again and s.h.i.+fted back a bit: “It’s already so late . What is s.h.i.+di doing here?”
Xie Xi gave a bright smile and grabbed his hand . He dropped a soft kiss on it: “Yesterday has already pa.s.sed . I’ve come to bring s.h.i.+xiong back . ”
What kind of joke was this? If he were to simply go missing in the middle of the night, wouldn’t Chu Sheng be frightened to tears?
Chu Yu resolutely refused: “No . ”
Xie Xi’s eyebrow twitched and he restrained his smile . His expression was complicated: “As expected, s.h.i.+xiong is still like this . No matter what s.h.i.+di does, it is unlikely that you would care even the slightest bit more about s.h.i.+di . ” He released Chu Yu’s hand . He turned around, leaving only the image of a thin back for Chu Yu to see, “s.h.i.+xiong, when you left in the morning, I wondered if you would be unwilling to come with me if I came to pick you up . Sure enough, you appear to dislike and avoided me, are you sick and tired of s.h.i.+di now?”
Chu Yu: “That’s not what I meant……”
Xie Xi still sat in front of him without turning around . With an indifferent, even-toned voice, he said: “I really want to beg s.h.i.+xiong that even if you can’t care about me the same way that you did in the past, at the very least, don’t push me away . ”
Chu Yu felt indescribably guilty . After a moment’s hesitation, he moved forward and embraced Xie Xi, “Things are different now . No matter what, I have to take the Chu family into consideration . In the future……”
As the image of the System’s current number of points interface flashed through his mind . Chu Yu paused and didn’t dare to finish his words .
He didn’t dare to promise Xie Xi that there would definitely be a future .
The days after today would be quite long . Perhaps Xie Xi might not absolutely need him……
Xie Xi turned his head to face back . His eyes were dark and gloomy with something unknown in their depths: “There will be a future . ”
After muddling his way through the conversation, in the end, Chu Yu still left behind a voice transmitting talisman and guiltily escaped with Xie Xi .
It was only after they had returned to Lu Qingan’s small courtyard that Chu Yu realized that something was amiss .
The courtyard only had three habitable rooms . Lu Qingan naturally was alone in one room . Third s.h.i.+di was deathly afraid of Xie Xi so there was no way he’d dare to sleep in the same room as him . Moreover, Xie Xi wouldn’t necessarily be willing to do it either . Then the question was, was he going to have to sleep in a room with Xie Xi?
Even if this type
type of behavior, sleeping and eating together had been a natural daily occurrence in the past, but now……
Looking at Xie Xi’s burning gaze, Chu Yu’s eyebrow twitched, exactly that! He didn’t want to have to cover his chrysanthemum while walking about while patrolling tomorrow . Rooming together with Xie Xi meant his personal safety wouldn’t be guaranteed……
Chu Yu silently turned towards Third s.h.i.+di’s room . Seeing this, Xie Xi raised an eyebrow but try to stop him . He clasped his hands and remained silent . Chu Yu’s mind was baffled by this . He approached Third s.h.i.+di’s room and discovered that a narrow slip of paper was attached to the door .
He took it down and carefully read it .
Water-related things cannot enter .
He had even specially ill.u.s.trated a couple of examples underneath the words . For example, fish……
Chu Yu: “……”
With a dark face, Chu Yu shredded that piece of paper . His waist was embraced and from behind him came the sound of Xie Xi’s restrained laughter: “Third s.h.i.+di fears both Da s.h.i.+xiong and I . s.h.i.+xiong, let’s return to our room and sleep . ”
Having been brazenly abandoned by Third s.h.i.+di, Chu Yu couldn’t exactly thicken his face and go inside to disturb the other person’s dreaming . He followed Xie Xi into the room . His gaze s.h.i.+fted all over before he gave a dry cough: “I’ll say this first, I’ll live here but you can’t let your hands and feet roam about . Otherwise, I’ll immediately return to the Chu family . ”
Xie Xi wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before nodding . Chu Yu let a breath out in relief . He took off his outer robe and laid down on the bed . He was right in the middle of considering whether or not he should ask Lu Qingan to see if there were other rooms he could temporarily stay at when his face was suddenly pulled over by Xie Xi and his lip was held in place by Xie Xi’s mouth .
Xie Xi didn’t so much as bat an eye: “I’ve carefully obeyed with s.h.i.+xiong’s instruction and didn’t let my hands and feet roam . ”
Chu Yu gave up on struggling: “……”
Sometimes Chinese culture was so deep and profound that it scared people .
The inside of the Qing Tu camp and the outside were like two worlds . Righteous Path cultivators’ method of fighting differed from that of the fights between the common folks’ armies . Their destructive natures were overwhelmingly strong . Those with powerful abilities could easily move mountains and drain seas . The area from Qing Tu to the Jin River was almost completely desolate and uninhabited . People and beasts alike strived to flee from there .
After several years of fighting, this strip of land had become riddled with scars . Who knew just how many cultivators’ skeletons were buried here .
Of those who had died on this land, the weakest were at the Qi Refining stage while the strongest were at the Nascent Soul stage . It could be said that every inch of this land had been dyed with blood .
The dreary, murderous atmosphere made it hard for Chu Yu, who was accustomed to a light-hearted atmosphere, to adjust . The amount of blood that was shed during the Great Righteous and Demonic Path War was truthfully a grave amount . Too many people had died . There had been deaths in the Chu family and in Tian Yuan Sect . Chu Sheng had such a warm and restrained temperament . He could be considered to have suffered all kinds of torment during this war .
Chu Yu couldn’t help beginning to earnestly recall just what the original novel wrote about the Great Righteous and Demonic Path War .
……However, five hundred thousand words and many beauties later, he reached this point in time and the story was right up to the point where the protagonist
the protagonist had challenged the Yu Shou Sect by himself during the Great Righteous and Demonic Path War, and that was it . So where’s the follow-up? Where did the Great Righteous and Demonic Path War end?
Wait, don’t tell me the author abandoned this plot hole? Where was the rest of the plot?
The System happily said: “May the host uncover the rest on his own~”
Chu Yu completely ignored the System . He raised his eyes and looked at his surroundings . It could still be considered peaceful . In reality, other than the occasional outbreak of a war and one melee every three days, both sides spent the rest of the time recovering . They plotted over a way to capture the entirety of the other side’s members in one fell swoop so that this war could finally end .
After patrolling outside for a long time, a group of black-clothed cultivators suddenly appeared in the distance and they were rapidly flying over . The Chu family disciples and Tian Yuan Sect disciples immediately formed a tight formation and waited . They were on guard as they watched that group of demonic cultivators .
The patrol group led by Lu Qingan was the safest . There was no need to doubt this point .
Unfortunately, Lu Qingan had made it clear when he came out before that he wouldn’t take action unless he came across a Nascent Soul stage cultivator .
In order to prevent demonic cultivators from recognizing him and running away in a panic, Lu Qingan had even earnestly used a white cloth to cover Yan Han up and carried it on his back . He put on a mask and followed behind the patrol group at a distance that wasn’t too close or too far .
Chu Yu understood Lu Qingan’s intent . With tangled feelings, he stared at that group of demonic cultivators who, in a flash, had flown to an area 30 meters away from them . He was just about to pull out Xun Sheng when Xie Xi, who had been quietly following beside him up till now, suddenly smiled: “How could this group of small bandits be worthy of s.h.i.+xiong taking action . ”
After he finished speaking, he raised Duan Xue and advanced forward before lightly waving his sword . They couldn’t see what kind of profound method he had used, but someone amidst that small group of demonic cultivators was defeated . That person violently coughed out blood and was sent flying . They utterly lacked any power to fight back .
Chu Yu felt fear and trepidation at this scene . He had previously heard that Xie Xi would definitely ma.s.sacre any demonic cultivators that he encountered without leaving a single one alive . As expected, it was true . It wasn’t so bad when he was in front of Chu Yu but the moment he encountered demonic cultivators, he would reveal a bone-deep killing intent and viciousness . His face would turn so cruel that it would intimidate others and there wasn’t the slightest bit of hesitation in his movements .
The past Xie Xi was still soft and immature . Even when someone like Song Jingyi pretended to fall, he would still unconsciously go and offer a helping hand . The present disparity couldn’t help but make one regretful .
Chu Yu was feeling regretful when a familiar voice sounded from beside his ear: “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Xie s.h.i.+di take action . As expected, each move still results in a death . His fort.i.tude doesn’t lose to that of the demonic cultivators . As the s.h.i.+xiong, Chu s.h.i.+di isn’t nearly as powerful as Xie s.h.i.+di . It truly makes people want to cry……”
The words were deliberately ambiguous and the tone even more so .
Lu Qingan was here and they still dared to cause trouble?
Chu Yu cast a sideways glance at Song Jingyi who had caught up to him who knows when . Remembering his expressionRemembering his expression yesterday, Chu Yu mildly said: “Song s.h.i.+xiong, how’s Sect Master Martial Uncle’s injury?”
Song Jingyi’s smile froze . He hadn’t expected Chu Yu would hit him in his sore spot .
Chu Yu continued to speak: “Sect Master Martial Uncle has always treated Song s.h.i.+xiong as if he were your biological father . Song s.h.i.+xiong’s presence isn’t required at this very moment so why isn’t Song s.h.i.+xiong at Sect Master Martial Uncle’s bedside and taking care of him?”
Hearing the words “as if he were your biological father,” Song Jingyi’s body suddenly trembled . His face twisted and he no longer kept up the gentle and amiable facade . His face darkened and he said with a cold tone: “None of your business . ”
Seeing that Xie Xi had finished disposing of that group of demonic cultivators and was about to come back, Song Jingyi swallowed the rest of his words and gave a cold humph before retreating to the back of the group again .
Chu Yu was baffled .
Didn’t this person love to put on a facade? How was it that it only took a few words, not to mention he wasn’t even critically injured, for him to show his true personality?
Could it be that after ten years, his face had thinned instead of thickening?
How strange .
However, just like how Song Jingyi would occasionally look at him with unconcealed killing intent, Chu Yu would also have thoughts about Song Jingyi quickly getting the f*** out of the living world and rolling down to h.e.l.l . Unfortunately, Chu Yu and Song Jingyi had a common problem that obstructed them: Lu Qingan
Although with Lu Qingan here, this patrol group could practically be free of worries . On the other hand, it was also because Lu Qingan was here that Song Jingyi didn’t dare to set anyone up and Chu Yu couldn’t freely screw him back .
Chu Yu was quite vexed .
Xie Xi returned to Chu Yu’s side . In pa.s.sing, he flicked the remaining bloodstains off his sword and placed Duan Xue back at his waist . He cast an indifferent glance at Song Jinyi who had already hidden in the back and softly asked: “Is s.h.i.+xiong worried about that two-faced backstabber?”
Chu Yu paused for a moment and then nodded his head .
If Song Jingyi wasn’t disposed of, going forward, they would constantly have a knife hanging over their heads . Being continuously watched by this kind of person wasn’t a pleasant sensation .
He originally planned to ask the Chu Family’s Emissary Xu to take action and kill Song Jingyi when no one was watching . He was going to create a scenario where they ran into demonic cultivators while outside and fought with them . But it seemed that Song Jingyi knew what he was thinking and ever since they had left the Qing Tu camp, he had stayed close beside the Tian Yuan Sect disciples . He wasn’t moving a single step ahead or behind them .
How annoying .
An icy killing intent was concealed within Xie Xi’s smile . He lowered his voice: “Ten years ago, I took advantage of a moment when he was alone and almost killed him . ”
Chu Yu was speechless . He had always found it strange why Xie Xi hadn’t made his move ten years ago . So it turned out he had made took action……however, this “almost,” did Song Jingyi escape in the end or was Xie Xi stopped by someone?
Xie Xi said: “I was just one step away from chopping his head off with my sword . Unfortunately, s.h.i.+zun suddenly appeared and stopped me . ”
It was actually Lu Qingan?
Then again, as Tian Yuan Sect’s elder and Song Yuanzhuo’s s.h.i.+di, Lu Qingan naturally wouldn’t allow Xie Xi to kill the Sect Master’s personal succeeding disciple .
Seemingly knowing Chu Yu’s inner thoughts, Xie Xi shook his head, “s.h.i.+xiong, the situation’s a bit complicated . At that time, s.h.i.+zun told me, ‘You can kill him, but not right now’ . ”
Although Chu Yu felt a bit uneasy about Xie Xi, nevertheless, Chu Sheng s att.i.tude was firm . He had given his final word . Chu Sheng pulled him up and then took him away . Leaving no room for any arguments . Chu Yu silently turned his head back to look at Xie Xi, the expression on his face looked torn . Xie Xi didn t let any signs of aggression show . He tilted his head to nod at Chu Yu, he then watched the figures of the Chu family brothers disappear . He stroked the scented sachet at his waist and prepared to return to his room to rest . Third s.h.i.+di very cautiously poked his head out Second, Second s.h.i.+xiong, you aren t mad Even Lu Qingan had looked over . Xie Xi wasn t showing even the slightest hint of anger . He gave a faint smile It s only half a day . Chu Sheng dragged s.h.i.+xiong over there for just half a day . I ll be going to grab s.h.i.+xiong to bring him back the moment it turns midnight tonight . Third s.h.i.+di Second s.h.i.+xiong, you re too resourceful After returning to the Chu family camp, the strained Chu Sheng grabbed Chu Yu and nagged at him for the rest of the day . The main topic was Although you two have affectionate feelings for each other you still have to be on your guard so you won t be taken advantage of by that brat . You can t let that brat get too smug . How hateful of him to s.n.a.t.c.h away my littlest brother Once he had reached the end of his lecture, Chu Sheng felt full of regret .

Unfortunately, Chu Yu and Song Jingyi had a common problem that obstructed them Lu Qingan Although with Lu Qingan here, this patrol group could practically be free of worries . On the other hand, it was also because Lu Qingan was here that Song Jingyi didn t dare to set anyone up and Chu Yu couldn t freely screw him back . Chu Yu was quite vexed . Xie Xi returned to Chu Yu s side . In pa.s.sing, he flicked the remaining bloodstains off his sword and placed Duan Xue back at his waist . He cast an indifferent glance at Song Jinyi who had already hidden in the back and softly asked Is s.h.i.+xiong worried about that two faced backstabber Chu Yu paused for a moment and then nodded his head . If Song Jingyi wasn t disposed of, going forward, they would constantly have a knife hanging over their heads . Being continuously watched by this kind of person wasn t a pleasant sensation . He originally planned to ask the Chu Family s Emissary Xu to take action and kill Song Jingyi when no one was watching . He was going to create a scenario where they ran into demonic cultivators while outside and fought with them . But it seemed that Song Jingyi knew what he was thinking and ever since they had left the Qing Tu camp, he had stayed close beside the Tian Yuan Sect disciples . He wasn t moving a single step ahead or behind them . How annoying . An icy killing intent was concealed within Xie Xi s smile . He lowered his voice Ten years ago, I took advantage of a moment when he was alone and almost killed him . Chu Yu was speechless . He had always found it strange why Xie Xi hadn t made his move ten years ago . So it turned out he had made took action however, this almost, did Song Jingyi escape in the end or was Xie Xi stopped by someone Xie Xi said I was just one step away from chopping his head off with my sword . Unfortunately, s.h.i.+zun suddenly appeared and stopped me . It was actually Lu Qingan Then again, as Tian Yuan Sect s elder and Song Yuanzhuo s s.h.i.+di, Lu Qingan naturally wouldn t allow Xie Xi to kill the Sect Master s personal succeeding disciple . Seemingly knowing Chu Yu s inner thoughts, Xie Xi shook his head, s.h.i.+xiong, the situation s a bit complicated . At that time, s.h.i.+zun told me, You can kill him, but not right now .
