Chapter 123: Cynicism

“The relationship between you two big men is really enviable.” Lan Xueruo smiled. She said “envious” flatly under her breath, but the envy in her heart was even stronger by an unknown number of times. Although they were relatives, they could only be considered external relatives, but they had such feelings. On the other hand, when she thought of her own biological brothers, her heart was only chilled and sad.

“Xue Ruo, seeing that you are fine, I am relieved.” Murong Night walked over, with a faint surprise on his face, “When I heard that you fell into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range a month ago, I was so worried and scared that I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, and I only hated that I didn’t have the ability to do so, otherwise, even if I had to fight for my life, I would have definitely dived into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to save you.”

“Thank you senior brother for hanging on.” Lan Xueruo smiled politely. She didn’t show any surprise at all that Murong Night would appear here. Every year, Cangfeng Xuanfu would choose three of the most outstanding disciples from all the major branch Xuanfu throughout the Cangfeng Empire to be sent into Cangfeng Xuanfu, and Murong Night was one of the Crescent Moon Xuanfu’s finalists this year, and he came to report to Cangfeng Xuanfu just in time for this month. Come to think of it, Murong Night should have come along with Qin Wuyou.

“Xue Ruo, are you staying in Cang Feng Xuanfu from now on? It would be great if so, we can cultivate Xuan and get along in one place again.” Murong Night said with a smile.

Lan Xueruo didn’t nod her head and calmly said, “In the future, I will indeed stay in the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion.” After simply saying that, she no longer paid attention to Murong Night and said to Qin Wuyou, “Mistress Qin …… right, I should call you Mentor Qin now, Yun Che has just arrived in Cangfeng Imperial City right now and has no place to go, so I will also have to trouble you to help him arrange to enter the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion.”

“Hehe, this is certainly no problem.” Qin Wuyou nodded mildly, “Then what about you? Do you want to come along? Your name, however, has still been hanging within the Central Mansion.”

Name hanging in the middle mansion? Murong Night stared for a moment …… How is this possible! In the Middle Mansion, the lowest level all had True Xuan realm level 3 xuan power. His own entry Xuan realm level 8 was unrivaled amongst men of his age in the Crescent Moon Xuanfu, but when it came to this Cangfeng Xuanfu, he could only be counted as middle of the pack even amongst the lowest grade outer mansions. Blue Xueluo’s Xuan power was the same as his own, how could he be in the middle mansion?

Cangfeng Xuanfu and Crescent Moon Xuanfu are not the same, Crescent Moon Xuanfu can still talk about human accommodations, but Cangfeng Xuanfu is never possible! The boundaries of the outer, middle, and inner mansions are incredibly clear, wanting to enter the middle mansion from the outer mansion, the only way is to defeat a disciple of the middle mansion, wanting to enter the inner mansion from the middle mansion, the only way is to defeat a disciple of the inner mansion …… Other than that, there is no other way. The only way to get into the inner house is to defeat a disciple from the inner house.

The only thing that could be slightly accommodated was to let a not-so-qualified disciple enter the outer mansion. However, only heavyweights of at least the tutor level had such a right, and it was limited to no more than three people a year.

“I will visit often. However, I’ve been away for too long and I’m a bit worried about my father, so I must go back to check on him first, so Senior Brother Yun will be handed over to Instructor Qin first. Senior Brother Yun, Mistress Qin is now the tutor of the Cangfeng Xuanfu, so you should first follow Tutor Qin to settle down within the mansion, I’ll make a trip back home, and I’ll visit you as soon as I’m done with my family’s business.” Lan Xue Ruo said, mentioning the word “father”, her eyes flashed with faint worry and despair.

The corner of Murong Night’s mouth next to her twitched viciously …… Settle down Yun Che …… Visit Yun Che …… Blue Xue Ruo’s simple words, as long as it’s not a fool can hear the deep embedded care and concern for Yun Che. Care concern, and the pressure did not half involve him Murong Night.

“Don’t worry about it, I will immediately arrange Yun Che into the outer mansion, and in terms of the relevant conditions, I will also give to the greatest degree of care.” Qin Wuyou nodded. He was the only person who was clear about the reason why Lan Xueruo was treating Yun Che so kindly……. Although he personally didn’t think highly of Yun Che and was only somewhat appreciative, since it was Lan Xueruo’s choice, the only thing he had to do was to comply.

“Elder sister, do you want to go home alone? Why don’t I send you back first.” Yun Che asked tentatively. In the bottom of his heart, he wanted to know what kind of concept Lan Xueruo’s “home” was.

Lan Xueruo smiled and shook her head, her movements were very light and she did not speak, her expression soft and resolute.

“Don’t worry, in this Cangfeng Imperial City, nothing will happen to me.” Dropping such a sentence, Lan Xueruo gave Yun Che a soft smile, rushed her back towards him, and left with gentle footsteps.

Merely, in the moment when her footsteps moved, and she walked towards the front alone, Lan Xueruo’s heart was suddenly flooded with an uncomfortable sense of emptiness, as if she had lost something extremely important around her all of a sudden……. After using a short breath, she understood what this sense of emptiness was… …

Because at this moment, by her side, there was no more Yun Che.

Fleeing together, sharing a common affliction, and even almost experiencing the separation of life and death, after spending so much time together, even she herself did not know that she had already gotten used to Yun Che’s existence without even realizing it. When she was in Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion, Murong Night had been pestering her every day and had continued for a long, long time, but what she had brought to her were two very different feelings. With Murong Night’s pestering, although she was polite and calm, she was bored and repulsed inwardly, while Yun Che was always by her side, what was quietly generated in the bottom of her heart was a deepening dependence …… and an even more dangerous attachment.

Even sleeping in the same bed with him, waking up early in the morning embracing him, was quietly becoming a habit.

When she returned to Cangfeng Imperial City, her heart was anxious to return home to visit her father, but at this moment, suddenly leaving Yun Che, with Yun Che less by her side, that feeling was actually so unbearable, just as if a part of her own soul had suddenly been taken away, making her steps become so slow.

“Senior sister!”

Behind her, Yun Che’s shout suddenly came from behind her, causing her footsteps to stop there all of a sudden, never wanting to step away again.

Yun Che quickly rushed to Lan Xueruo’s body and took out two items from the Heavenly Poison Bead, handing them over to Lan Xueruo’s hands, “If Senior Sister recognizes the Shocking Heavenly Thunder, then she must recognize this Poisonous Flame Singe from the Xiao Sect’s Weaponry Sect. When I’m not by your side, senior sister must learn to protect yourself, and when faced with an enemy that wants to harm you and you can’t defeat, don’t be merciful and use this Poison Fire Cannon to exterminate him. There is also this pillar of incense, from the black devil’s space ring to get, is a very special beast repellent incense, the material used does not belong to the Cangfeng Empire, should be the black devil they robbed a foreign country’s rich merchants to get, after lighting can dispel Tianxuan below the XuanBeasts, they also use this to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. If ever you enter a dangerous place with dangerous Xuan Beasts, light it immediately.”

The corners of Lan Xueruo’s mouth curved up, hooking up an incomparably beautiful and moving smile, “I’m just making a trip home, it’s not like I’m being separated from life and death ……” She put away the Poisonous Fire Cannon and the Carapace Beast Incense, and gently said, “Senior Brother Yun, thank you. ”

“Hehehe.” Yun Che laughed cheaply, “We are all people who sleep together every day, what else do we say thank you for, what are you doing being so polite …… ah pain pain pain pain pain!”

Blue Xue Ruo a face red haze straight spread to the snowy neck, she exasperatedly pinched the back of Yun Che’s hand, stomped her foot, and fled like running away.

As for Yun Che’s last sentence, I don’t know if it was intentional or unintentional, but he didn’t lower his voice too much, Qin Wuyou, Xia Yuanba, and Murong Night all heard it clearly, causing them to be stunned in unison, with their mouths wide open, and their jaws almost smashing to the ground.

“You …… what did you just say!” Murong Night’s chest rose and fell for a while, then suddenly rushed up like a furious mad dog, grabbing Yun Che’s collar, his eyes reddening as he roared explosively, “Say what you just said to me again.”

With a “snapping” sound, Yun Che slapped Murong Night’s hand that was grasping his collar away, squinted at him, and faintly said, “Who are you? I’ll say it again if you ask me to?”

Qin Wuyou stammered, “Yun Che, you you you you …… you really slept with Xue Ruo her ……?”

Yun Che countered by looking at Qin Wuyou with a very puzzled look, “This …… Senior Sister Xue Ruo and I have been alone for more than a month …… Well, there’s also this groom and daughter, the two love interests, dry fire …… isn’t it normal to sleep together?”

“This this this this this ……” Qin Wuyou’s beard was trembling, his eyes were wide, his brain was completely on the spot. And then thinking about how Lan Xueruo’s reaction when Yun Che said those words just now …… wasn’t to give a hard ear scrape, but rather pamperedly pinched him and then ran away in shame ……

Qin Wuyou almost had the urge to kneel down to Yun Che on the spot ……

“Ah ah ah ah!” Xia Yuanba’s mouth was so wide open that he couldn’t close it for half a day, “Brother-in-law, you actually slept with Senior Sister Xue Ruo …… I adore you so much!”

“Impossible! This can’t possibly be true! How could Xue Ruo possibly look up to you! And Xue Ruo is ice-clear, how could …… how could ……” Murong Night’s breathing was ragged, his eyes were crimson, his spirit nearly collapsed and insane, and suddenly, his hand flashed, and a slender sword was grasped in his hand, and he violently stabbed at Yun Che: “You bastard who defiled Xue Ruo, I’ll kill you!!!”

“Stop!” Both Qin Wuyou and Xia Yuanba were caught off guard by Murong Night’s actions, and coupled with the fact that Murong Night was too close to Yun Che, they were unable to make a move to stop him other than letting out a cry of alarm.

Without dodging or avoiding, Yun Che stretched out his right hand in a very loose movement, and grabbed Murong Night’s incoming longsword straight away. This action caused Qin Wuyou and Xia Yuanba to be shocked …… to use their hands to grab the sword? Murong Night had the Xuan power of the eighth level of the Xuan Realm, did Yun Che not want his hand anymore!

Clang!

The moment Yun Che’s fingers touched Murong Night’s long sword, Murong Night’s fierce smile had completely solidified before he could reveal it. It was because his sword was like stabbing into an incomparably hard rock, no longer able to advance by half a point.

And what was pinching the tip of the sword was only the index and middle fingers of Yun Che’s right hand.

Murong Night was stunned, Qin Wuyou and Xia Yuanba were also completely dumbfounded, and it was only at this time that Qin Wuyou finally noticed Yun Che’s Xuan power, and a cry of astonishment with a strong sense of disbelief came out: ”Entry Xuan Realm …… tenth level! How is this …… this possible!!!”

The last time he saw Yun Che, he was only at the first level of the Entering Xuan Realm. And it was only a month and a half ago that he was actually already at the tenth level of the Xuan Entry Realm!

Such a speed …… could only be described by being able to be heavenly.

“What? What did you say? Entry Xuan realm level ten?” Xia Yuanba’s eyes were rounded, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.

Yun Che stretched his right hand forward, his entire palm grasping above the blade of the sword, and with a violent shake, the strong Xuan power impacted along the sword body on Murong Night’s tightly gripped hand, causing his tiger’s mouth to burst open, and he screamed miserably as he let go of his palm. Yun Che grasped the sword blade in his hand and threw his arm, the hilt of the sword viciously smacked Murong Night’s face, smashing him directly onto the ground.

Murong Night sprawled on the ground, the entire half of his right face swollen high up and drenched in blood. Yun Che threw away the sword in his hand and looked down at him coldly, ”Whatever happens between Senior Sister Xue Ruo and I, it has nothing to do with you. Keep your toadish nature of daydreaming every day, understand?”
