Chapter 62
Seeing his place turned into ruins Xu Ziyan didn"t know what to say.
Alright, he admitted it was part of his fault. At the very beginning it couldn"t be mended because he couldn"t move for the sake of injury; then everyday he got hit by thunder, he came back every few days held by Xu Zirong; in this case he had few time mending it. They just had stolen the thunder then they had to go to the Kylin tower immediately. Given these factors it was a miracle that the hut had lasted so long time…
(Mr.Hut : QwQ… Now they know how resilient I was.)
The thunder spell couldn"t help at this time, Xu Ziyan didn"t intend to let Xu Zirong do it anyway. Although his wood spell could help him a lot but he felt that Zirong had done a lot the half year before, it was time for the big brother to take the responsibility.
Having taken all the useful stuff out of the hut he began drafting the design of a new hut.
This was where he and Zirong would live for a long time, it must be as cozy as it could be for their own home.
He drew pictures on the ground for a long time and a satisfied solution came out finally.
The blueprint had been completed, now it was time to complement it.
Fortunately cultivators had better stamina than ordinary men and cultivators at building time were much more powerful.
The two brothers only took one afternoon to finish all the work. In the first place Xu Ziyan didn"t want Zirong to join this, but when Zirong was looking at him pitifully meaning that he wanted to join his brother, his brother couldn"t say no to him.
But afterwards he thought that it showed a good relationship if two brothers worked together. Why should he insist on working alone and letting his little brother get rest?
After the hut had been built, Xu Zirong was responsible for cleaning the hut and Xu Ziyan was responsible for building a fire and making foods. Even though they had taken Bi Gu pills, the whole month without any fresh food they still felt empty in the bellies.
Because they had been working the whole afternoon, Xu Ziyan didn"t make any complicated food, only kneaded some dough which was cut into noodles; then he fried a basin of sauced meat. Then they had meal in the kitchen which was built just now. They hold their bowls eating happily…
Originally Xu Zirong did not attach great importance to eating, but perhaps it was because he had been with Xu Ziyan for a long time, and now he had no appet.i.te for food, and he only liked what dishes his brother made.
"Wow, that"s really delicious! You two bad disciples! How come you didn"t call your master to eat???"
At the time they had almost eaten half of the noodles, the sound of powerful roar by Big Foot Luo came out of the hut suddenly.
They paused for a minute then made two totally different actions.
Xu Ziyan naturally stood up intending to take an empty bowl whereas Xu Zirong ladled a big spoon of noodles from the basin immediately.
"Zirong, there are lots of noodles left." Xu Ziyan didn"t know how to react. He was curious about what was going on with master and Zirong. Were they born to be opponents? Zirong was always obedient but in front of master he could be so childish…
"Bad disciple!" Big Foot Luo walked inside with door being kicked, he got angry seeing the action of Xu Zirong.
Xu Zirong lifted his head and took a glance at Big Foot Luo with pride of a victor. Clearly he knew that between himself and Big Foot Luo his brother would definitely choose him as an ally.
Big Foot Luo saw what Xu Zirong meant and felt unpleasant in the heart: Jesus, I really wanna kick this kid! But it was too embarra.s.sing for a Yuan Ying cultivator to bully a little kid.
"Mater, please eat." It seemed that Xu Ziyan had sensed the displeasure in the eyes of Big Foot Luo. As a peacemaker, he hurriedly prepared a bowl of noodles put respectfully in front of Big Foot Luo.
Big Foot Luo snuff heavily and took a look at Xu Ziyan which meant: I will let him go because of your respect.
Xu Ziyan had to mediate between them which was an awkward experience…
No one was the match in the speed of eating of Big Foot Luo, the whole bowl of noodles disappeared in an instance.
Looking at the empty bowl pa.s.sed to him, Xu Ziyan could only weep; he prepared another bowl of noodles without any complain. He looked at the nearly empty basin and went to knead more dough voluntarily…
Having dined and wined to satiety, Big Foot Luo left patting his belly satisfactorily.
Looking at his back Xu Ziyan wondered what was his master up to.
Xu Zirong stared sullenly at the back of Big Foot Luo thinking that maybe this guy only came for free foods…
Soon this matter had been forgotten. Xu Ziyan got busy again.
Cultivating Zang thunder, cultivating Purple Nine Changes, when he was vacant he would go visit every peak inside the sect. He had met Wei Qing whom he hadn"t met for a long time.
No one could ever imagine that Wei Qing didn"t choose Wei Ying as his master, instead he was accepted as a disciple by Zhou Xueting. But Wei Ying didn"t go back with nothing, he appreciated Lei Hu who was from the very west place. Almost everyone had got their own masters whereas Yu Hao"s master was an unknown golden pill cultivator.
Although when testing they were all opponents but now they had become disciples from the same sect; they should contact with each other occasionally.
Xu Ziyan had an outgoing personality, he got along well with most of them; though it was not sure what the situation would be when it linked with death and life but apparently they were all very kind to each other.
Of course Xu Ziyan was not supreme spiritual stone, he couldn"t win everyone, so naturally there would be someone who didn"t like him at all.
"Phew! Who do you think you are!" A tall lean young man spat at the back of Xu Ziyan.
He turned and talked to Hu Tianyu with flattering tone: "Senior-apprentice brother Hu, this guy thought he was someone important, why doesn"t he p.i.s.s and have a look at himself; he"s not even worthy putting your shoes on for you given his background! He said he wanted to improve our relations, I presume he just wanted to be taken under your wing."
Hu Tianyu didn"t reply. He could be prideful given his background and gift but he was not foolish either, he could see through this low level trick of creating discord.
This guy was a disciple from Hu family of non-lineal, the quality of three spiritual root of his was merely mediocre; as a family disciple of Liu Guang Sect, he was only taken by a master as a nominal disciple. Although they were all family disciples, the difference between nominal disciple and direct-line disciple was huge.
To explain it straightly, this nominal disciple wasn"t expected making any big contribution, they were only taken into the sect and of course they would get some lessons. But if some of them improved a lot maybe they would be promoted to direct-line disciple, whereas if they stayed the same they would be nominal disciple forever.
This kind of characters, they followed him here and there only for the protection of Hu Tianyu. If Xu Ziyan got good relationships with others and intended to follow him, given the ability like that guy"s he would naturally be subst.i.tuted.
In cultivation circles, you should have the ability even though you wanted to be a follower!
Seeing Hu Tianyu didn"t answer, that tall lean young man thought he had listened to what he said. He felt excited in the heart and continued his endless talking about the intention of Xu Ziyan"s coming with the most malicious guess.
He was getting good relationships, flattering others, even concluding discovering secrets about Hu family which was obviously nonsense. Seeing him talking bulls.h.i.ts Hu Tianyu felt a little helpless.
His mother had warned him before he came that he must cultivate his own faction in Liu Guang Sect, or only depending on his ident.i.ty of the son of the family he couldn"t get recognized by other masters.
Years before, when his father inherited the head of his family he had experienced lots of trials; if he wasn"t strong enough, not to mention the head of the family, it would be fortunate if he could stay alive.
Sighing calmly in the heart Hu Tianyu turned and left. There were so many things to worry, let"s forget it and started cultivating…
"Senior-apprentice brother Xu!" On the way Xu Ziyan came back to Tian Luo Peak, the sound of an excited girl was heard behind him.
Xu Ziyan"s face twitched a little then turned and smiled: "Junior-apprentice sister Xiahou."
"Ha ha, congratulations for your success of building, senior-apprentice brother." Xiahou Lian smiled and said.
Xu Ziyan immediately thanked back and said some courtesy words. He always felt that junior-apprentice sister Xiahou was fearsome, it was not because she would harm him, it was from some strange intuition. It seemed that she would bring much trouble for him but he couldn"t ignore her because of this—that was rude after all.
After a casual conversation Xu Ziyan left hurriedly. He couldn"t figure out why he had that kind of intuition, he just felt that if they stayed too long together something bad must happen.
"Big brother, you"re back." Xu Zirong ran from a distance towards him then jumped into his arms.
"Eh, are you tired after the cultivation?" Xu Ziyan touched his head then.
Since he noticed that Xu Zirong"s hair was smoother than silk he got mad at touching his head.
Touching for something or touching for nothing, if he got bored he would touch it for fun…anyway if it wasn"t because Xu Zirong"s hair was of high quality maybe he would be bald now…
"No, I"m not." Xu Zirong smiled. He put his head on his brother"s chest and took a deep breath…!!!
How did there come this mild smell of orchid?!!!
His eyes turned into red suddenly and restored to normal when he lifted his head. He asked with a casual tone: "Brother, why you have the smell of flower on your body? You like using perfume again?"
"What smell?" Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Zirong confusedly and snuff his own clothes hard. That was strange, there was no smell…
Although he didn"t smell anything but Xu Zirong had confirmed then it must be true. He thought for a while and didn"t think he had ever pa.s.sed any place with flowers. The only possibility was when he met Xihou Lian.
