Sorry for the long wait! School has started, so I have less free time now ORZ. I will be doing DWGL on a regular basis to finish it up first, while squeezing this novel in when I can. I can probably update this every 10 days or so.
[Chapter 13 - More and more best actors emerge!] I hope that you can"t get erect for the rest of your life!
"Help!" When the bald guy started carrying him in his arms, Shen Qian Ling finally found the chance to shout for help.
The bald guy was instantly shocked dumb, "You are really shouting for help?!"
Nonsense, I"m almost being kidnapped, how can I not even shout for help! Shen Qian Ling threw a fist into his face, then struggled with all his might to get away.
"You, you really can"t remember who I am?" The bald man looked at him with hurt in his eyes.
..........
Why must I remember who you are? Shen Qian Ling wanted to cry and yet had no tears; could he be a former lover?
"Whatever, let"s talk after going back with me." The bald guy is obviously going down the brutish route; he directly carried him and rushed outside.
"Put me down." Shen Qian Ling grabbed and shook his head.
The bald guy covered his mouth, "If you make some more noise, I will...knock you out."
Shen Qian Ling looked at him with very innocent eyes, "At the very least tell me your name."
Every second that he can drag on is a precious one second.
"I"m Fan Xiong(1)." The bald guy said eagerly, "Have you remembered me?"
Shen Qian Ling blinked his eyes a few times; he can"t remember.
The light in the bald guy"s eyes dimmed; the four words "I am very hurt" were written across his entire face.
Shen Qian Ling was successfully stunned by his expression; he looks like such a brute and yet has a gla.s.s heart; his appearance and his personality are totally incompatible.
"Young master." Bao Dou"s voice came from the courtyard.
Shen Qian Ling"s eyes brightened up, preparing to shout with all his might, but the bald guy pressed on one of his pressure points, rendering him mute; he then jumped out of the window, carrying Shen Qian Ling on his shoulder.
Shen Qian Ling was carried in such a way that his belly hurt; he was also very dizzy, but couldn"t say anything, and so he could only hit Fan Xiong"s back angrily.
"Help! Young master is taken by someone." Bao Dou"s shout sounded from the room.
Finally someone found out...Shen Qian Ling has the will but not the strength; he opened his mouth and vomited over the entire body of the bald guy.
He didn"t do it on purpose, but his stomach really doesn"t feel well, and he was constantly jolted here and there; he absolutely can"t stand it anymore.
Fan Xiong sprinted while saying with grief and indignation, "Why are you treating me like this?"
Don"t tell me I should give you a kiss with tongue instead? Shen Qian Ling dizzily pointed a middle finger.
The walls of Ri Yue sect are very tall; Fan Xiong, carrying Shen Qian Ling, leapt onto it; just as he was preparing to jump down from it, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his knees; thus he shouted in shock and fell forward.
"Ah!" Shen Qian Ling flew out from his arms, his soul already scared off.
If your martial arts isn"t good, then don"t try to kidnap other people!
"Fu-ren, be careful." In the critical moment, Qin Shao Yu leapt forward, and let him fall into his arms.
The servants who were tagging behind all started tearing up; if they weren"t holding weapons, they would have even clapped, because such a scene of the hero saving the damsel in distress is truly beautiful.
"Alright?" Qin Shao Yu patted his face.
Shen Qian Ling shook his head; his palms were full of cold sweat.
"It"s you again?" Shen Qian Feng pulled Fan Xiong up, saying with a frown, "How did you break in?"
The bald guy looked coldly at him, his eyes full of anger.
"Imprison him at the back of the mountains for two days." Shen Qian Feng threw him to a servant.
"Despicable." Fan Xiong has a look of suffering on, "The antidote."
He does have some level of martial arts skill; even if he fell down from the wall, he still wouldn"t be numb all over like now; the only explanation is that the dart that hit him just now has poison on it.
"After two or three days, the poison will naturally disappear." Qin Shao Yu obviously doesn"t have any intentions of giving him the antidote; he picked up Shen Qian Ling and said gently, "Let us go back."
Shen Qian Ling glanced at the kidnapper with a look of pity; if he really was an old friend of the previous Shen Qian Ling, then he"s actually....quite unlucky.
And so after returning to his room, he cautiously asked Qin Shao Yu, "Who was that person just now?"
Qin Shao Yu poured him a cup of tea, "Fan Xiong."
"I knew him previously?" Shen Qian Ling continued asking.
Qin Shao Yu looked at him with a fake smile, "You truly don"t remember?"
Nonsense, if I knew then why would I be asking you. Shen Qian Ling was inwardly stunned; don"t tell me that"s really his former lover; his tastes were too bawdy; he is absolutely not mentally prepared for this.
"There"s no need to care about who he is, it"s best that you forgot about him." Qin Shao Yu pa.s.sed him an exquisite small knife, "Take this, if you meet with danger next time, you can at least defend yourself."
Shen Qian Ling took the knife and pulled it; the knife didn"t come out.
He pulled again; still the knife didn"t come out.
.......
His eyes are full of grumpiness.
Qin Shao Yu can"t hold in his laughter, "There"s a catch in the scabbard."
"Why didn"t you say so earlier." Shen Qian Ling glared at him, then pressed on a round b.u.mp on the knife.
"Careful." Before Qin Shao Yu could finish a sentence, the small silver knife had already instantly shot out of the scabbard, flying towards his face at high speed. Luckily sect leader Qin is nimble and dodged quickly, and didn"t get hit on his head.
"Are you alright?" Shen Qian Ling was also scared by that.
Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheeks, "You tried to murder your husband."
"I wasn"t doing it on purpose." Shen Qian Ling felt deeply wronged, and returned the scabbard, "I don"t want it, you can leave it for yourself."
If he wants a dagger he can get it anywhere, it"s best to be further away from a dangerous kind like this one.
"Idiot." Qin Shao Yu blurted out.
"Idiot your sister." Shen Qian Ling got very angry, "Violent man."
Qin Shao Yu asked, "Do you know the name of this dagger?"
Shen Qian Ling whispered, "Qin Er Gou?"(2)
Qin Shao Yu was angered into laughter.
"No matter what, I don"t want it." Shen Qian Ling rejected very straightforwardly, he totally doesn"t want to poke himself blind.
How precious is his second lease at life, after transmigration; he must protect it and live well; maybe there"s even a chance for him to return.
Qin Shao Yu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the sounds of footsteps in the courtyard.
"Ling-er." Shen Qian Feng pushed the door and came in, "Were you hurt just now?"
Shen Qian Ling shook his head, "He seemed to only want to bring me away."
"I will increase the guards here afterwards." Shen Qian Feng sat by the bed, "Don"t be scared, this kind of thing won"t happen a second time."
"Big brother." Shen Qian Ling laid on the bed, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course." Shen Qian Feng smiled, "What does Ling-er want to ask?"
Shen Qian Ling looked at Qin Shao Yu with fierce eyes -- go out, I want to speak with him alone.
The tip of sect leader Qin"s brow raised up, and he left knowingly.
"You must learn to be better to Shao Yu in the future." Shen Qian Feng tidied his clothes, " Don"t always glare at him."
Shen Qian Ling absolutely has no mood to discuss about Qin Shao Yu with his brother right now, and so he directly brought up the topic, saying, "I was very close with that Fan Xiong?" This is then the most important issue now.
Shen Qian Feng shook his head, "Everything is fine, why bring him up so suddenly."
Because the person implicated has the right to know. Shen Qian Ling is very insistent, "I want to know."
"Did Fan Xiong say something to you?" Shen Qian Feng asked.
Shen Qian Ling remained silent; silence is the best way to trick someone.
Shen Qian Ling sighed, "Don"t listen to his nonsense, you have no relation with him."
Shen Qian Ling sighed in relief inside, but still didn"t speak.
"When you were younger, you were sent to stay for a period of time in your maternal grandfather"s house in Xi Nan; our mother has already mentioned this to you, right?" Shen Qian Feng asked.
Shen Qian Ling nodded; he heard of this early on, and remembered it deeply.
When he was young, young master Shen"s body was weak, frequently getting sick; later on, a fortune teller came to the house, saying if he wishes to be free of illnesses and disasters, then he must find a good G.o.dfather. Although this sounded very ridiculous, but the odd thing was, after a round of rituals, Shen Qian Ling miraculously recovered from his serious illness. Thus sect leader Sen immediately treated the priest as an important guest; after the wine was pa.s.sed around three times; the priest was finally willing to reveal some secrets of heaven. He pa.s.sed sect leader Shen a embroidered pouch, saying that inside, it said that young master Shen lacks wood in his life; if he wishes to go through calamities peacefully, then he must find a thousand year old tree to be his G.o.dfather, and stay near it for ten years.
And so Lady Shen promptly made a decision, personally sending Shen Qian Ling back to her own home -- the well-known Xi Nan Tang Men, and recognized the thousand year old tree in front of the entrance as Shen Qian Ling"s G.o.dfather.
Thus Shen Qian Ling also stayed at his maternal grandfather"s house for ten years; he only moved back to Riyue sect a few years ago.
"You got to know Fan Xiong when you were at our grandfather"s house, he is from Xi Nan. Ever since you moved back here, he also came to Jiang Nan unexpectedly, frequently breaking in to take you away." Shen Qian Feng has already reached the end of his rope with him.
Shen Qian Ling said, "But I see that the level of his martial arts is not very high." Riyue sect is guarded so strictly, how did this kind of person break in?
"That was because you had instructed previously that the guards should close one eye towards him." Shen Qian Feng sighed, "When I asked you for the reason you were unwillingly to say; if I didn"t see that you treated him so fiercely every time, I would have almost thought you liked him."
Shen Qian Ling: "........."
"No matter what, you"re not allowed to see him from now on." Shen Qian Feng said, "He will be imprisoned for a few days and taught a few lessons; this time I will send someone to directly dump him back in Xi Nan."
Shen Qian Ling rubbed his chin, feeling like he still have some understanding to do.
Just how devious was the previous Shen Qian Ling; he obviously didn"t like him and yet didn"t reject him either, causing the bald guy to continuously break into the sect; this absolutely can"t be covered by the narcissistic white lotus act already; it"s too vile.
"It"s almost night, go to sleep earlier." Shen Qian Feng said, "The guards in the sect has already been strengthened, no one else can break in."
Shen Qian Ling nodded, "Older brother should also rest early."
"I will call Bao Dou in." Shen Qin Feng patted his head, and went out the door.
Qin Shao Yu is lying on the roof, enjoying the moonlight.
"Don"t bully Ling-er." Before leaving, Shen Qian Feng didn"t forget to warn.
"When did you see me bully him?" The corners of Qin Shao Yu"s mouth lifted, "You should remind him, not to bully me instead."
"When did I bully you?" Shen Qian Ling heard him from the room, and reb.u.t.ted fiercely.
Qin Shao Yu became more amused, and jumped in from the window.
Shen Qian Feng grudgingly shook his head, and went out of the court yard.
"Who let you in." Shen Qian Ling is shocked and angry, "Go out."
"No." Qin Shao Yu sat by the bed, "What if that baldy escapes and kidnaps you again."
"He can escape from the prison in that state?" Shen Qian Ling obviously didn"t believe him.
"Even if there"s no him, there"s still other people." Qin Shao Yu said matter of factly, "Just how many people desire fu-ren in this world; how can this husband not worry."
"Ridiculous." Shen Qian Ling hit him with a cushion, "I"m not agreeing to this."
"Then I can only press on your pressure point to make you sleep." Qin Shao Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You dare?" Shen Qian Ling shouted; can he still be even more shameless, don"t say "I want to press your pressure points" as naturally as "I want to give you money."
"No matter what, I must sleep here tonight." Qin Shao Yu shamelessly laid on the bed
"You, go and sleep on the floor." Shen Qian Ling covered his face with the blanket, attempting to murder his husband.
"If fu-ren continues to move around, be careful that the pregnancy may be harmed." Qin Shao Yu said with a m.u.f.fled voice under the blanket.
"Pregnancy your sister." It was still alright when he didn"t bring it up, but once he brought it up Shen Xiao Shou(3) instantly got angrier; he threw away the blanket and straddled fiercely on top of Qin Shao Yu, "Are you lying to me about this matter?"
"Why would I do that." Qin Shao Yu showed an expression of shock.
"Still pretending." Shen Qian Ling is enraged, "I don"t feel anything at all, and after starving for a few days even my small belly is gone."
Qin Shao Yu looked into his eyes for a moment, then.....pfft.
"I knew it!" Shen Qian Ling is burning up, grabbing his collar and shaking him with all his might, "You, this devious pervert, I hope that you can"t get erect for the rest of your life!"
