Jiang Qingyue was startled, but Ren Shuhan pressed the back of his head, hiding him in his embrace, and even patted his back.
“It’s okay,” Ren Shuhan whispered, comforting him, “Don’t be afraid.”
His soft waist and clingy behavior, combined with Ren Shuhan’s unexpectedly gentle actions as if he had suddenly been enchanted, dumbfounded the onlookers who knew the truth.
“I didn’t expect Ren Gongzi to be like this. Tut tut tut…”
“I heard that Fairy Zhixi showed interest in him before, but he didn’t respond. I thought he was going to become a monk, but it turns out he’s already taken.”
“Do I not have a chance anymore? I don’t believe it, waaah!”
“Ren Shuhan doesn’t know how to appreciate beauty,” Ye Shuangfei rubbed his chin, with keen interest in Jiang Qingyue, “Lady Yun is already a rare beauty, but he only protects the one in his arms. I wonder what kind of beauty she is?”
Others thought the same, but Jiang Zhixi just wanted him to shut up.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Xie Xiaozhu earlier, but now the situation had changed. It was obvious that Wanzi Qianhong Cave had just suffered a defeat across the board.
With the excitement on this side dying down, it was natural to look at the excitement on the other side.
Who wouldn’t be curious about the mysterious beauty?
Unfortunately, Ren Shuhan protected him tightly and didn’t let anyone else see him. Jiang Qingyue was also shy, holding him tightly and not looking at anyone else.
Xie Xiaozhu struggled to get up, still staring at Ren Shuhan, one hand clutching his chest, while the other pointed at him and shouted. But his words took a turn, aiming at soft targets: “Yun Xiangrong, do you think I don’t recognize you? It’s the He Huan Sect, isn’t it? I’ll remember that!”
Yun Xiangrong: “…”
He’s way out of line.
Ren Shuhan frowned, about to speak up for Yun Xiangrong, but Ye Shuangfei interrupted: “Shuhan’s people are our Ye Family’s people. In the future, if He Huan Sect needs Sandbar’s help, there’s no need for you guys from Wanzi Qianhong Cave to meddle.”
He said, stepping forward and coming to Yun Xiangrong’s side.
The Sandbar Night Market’s history and scale were second only to Guangsha. It was also a leading sect in the righteous path, so it dared to confront Guangsha. Yun Xiangrong had been in seclusion for many years and didn’t know the new influential Ye Family from the Sandbar. Now that she had the opportunity, she quickly made friends and exchanged name cards with Ye Shuangfei. Associating with the Ye Family, considering that Duan San, who didn’t treat her well, and the arrogant Xie Xiaozhu were both here, Yun Xiangrong was eager to align herself with the Sandbar Night Market. Without much hesitation, she immediately declared, “From now on, our He Huan Sect will be surnamed Ye, and we will be ready to serve Young Master Ye at any time!”
They quickly reached an agreement, and Ye Shuangfei was also very pleased. They complimented each other, “To win Lady Yun’s favor, Sandbar is fortunate indeed!”
With this development, Wanzi Qianhong Cave had no chance at all.
Xie Xiaozhu wanted to act tough and rush forward, but he was scared by Ren Shuhan’s actions. His legs wouldn’t obey him, and he didn’t dare to move forward or retreat. A figure from his sect whispered in his ear for a moment, and he ran away with his tail between his legs.
Ren Shuhan didn’t intend to pursue.
Helping had its limits. If it was just to help Duan San with such a small favor like testing spiritual roots, it wasn’t realistic to chase after him for such a big risk.
Duan San was already very satisfied.
With Ren Shuhan, a rare genius with spiritual roots that only appeared once in a hundred years, expressing his attitude, it meant helping Guangsha at least could deter Wanzi Qianhong Cave for a long time, and it also gave him a lot of face.
So he insisted on giving the treasure sword he had just thrown out to Ren Shuhan.
“The Gentleman’s Sword should be matched with a gentleman,” Duan San also didn’t allow him to refuse, speaking sincerely, “This sword is an immortal weapon, and now in the entire immortal realm, only Ren Gongzi can wield it.”
With the words said to this extent, Ren Shuhan couldn’t refuse, so he had to accept it and immediately gave it to Yun Xiangrong.
“This time I’ve troubled Lady Yun, I usually live and eat at He Huan Sect, so let’s use this sword to settle it,” the sword was too precious, and Ren Shuhan was afraid of trouble, fearing that he would attract too much attention. He just pushed it off, “If Guangsha needs my help in the future, I’ll ask Lady Yun for a temporary loan.”
Yun Xiangrong got a free immortal weapon, a treasure of the town, and was ecstatic, completely not pushing back and ignoring Duan San’s speechless expression, thanked everyone a few words and accepted it.
In this way, Ren Shuhan not only repaid He Huan Sect, but also eased the relationship between Guangsha and Sandbar Night Market.
So after this incident, the immortal realm maintained a superficial peace for a long time.
After resolving the commotion, Ren Shuhan didn’t want to stay long. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, he took Jiang Qingyue and left, without returning to He Huan Sect, but playing and rushing back to the Jiang Family in the mortal realm along the way.
It took a long time to coax him on the way, and Jiang Qingyue didn’t mention the matter of He Huan Sect again ==.
The Jiang Mansion was still unaware that Jiang Qingyue had left, but if he was to take Jiang Qingyue out to play, he couldn’t continue feigning illness indefinitely, or he would be discovered by Wen Xin. So Ren Shuhan returned to the Jiang Mansion first, explained a few things to Wen Xin, and then leisurely took Jiang Qingyue out to play for several months.
Jiang Qingyue had never been out before, so everything seemed fresh and exciting to him, like a child, and he had a great time.
He was originally very shy and a little scared. When he was surrounded by people in the immortal realm, he stayed in Ren Shuhan’s arms the whole time and didn’t look at anyone. But after experiencing such a big scene, his childish nature had also been exercised, and he was able to relax when he played in the mortal realm.
Passing through the capital, they stayed at a rather luxurious inn. He even pulled on Ren Shuhan’s sleeve and refused to go home.
“Let’s stay here tonight,” he pleaded pitifully at Ren Shuhan, “Brother, don’t waste money!”
Since they were out, Ren Shuhan had a bit of cleanliness obsession, so he always closed the inn room door at night and then used the random door to take him home to sleep. But when he spoke up, Ren Shuhan had to agree.
But he excitedly looked around and found some things in the inn prepared to entertain couples, which made Ren Shuhan’s scalp numb.
“Don’t mess around, put it back!”
But Jiang Qingyue refused, turning his head away.
He had long forgiven Ren Shuhan for not reporting the matter of He Huan Sect, but he didn’t want to say it out loud, and Ren Shuhan wouldn’t give him a way out. He just knew how to obediently serve him, so in the end, he teased and acted spoiled all the way, making Ren Shuhan even more uncomfortable…
“Qingyue.”
Ren Shuhan called him, but he didn’t speak.
Seeing him lying sideways with his back to him, his waistline even more enticing, Ren Shuhan, who already had a bad temper, became even less patient after spoiling him for so many years. He couldn’t help but pounce on him and pin him down, saying fiercely, “Not listening? When you grow up, I’ll settle accounts with you.”
Jiang Qingyue turned his head, his big eyes shining brightly, smiling, not a trace of anger on his face. He even played with him, reaching out to tickle him.
“I’m still young?”
When others reached this age, they already had children.
Ren Shuhan easily pinned him down and bit his earlobe, “Soon, I’ll take care of you soon.”
Jiang Qingyue laughed in his arms, playing around with him.
When they returned to the Lantern City, Jiang Qingyue’s birthday was approaching, and the time they had agreed upon was near~
Ren Shuhan had been counting the days all along, and he always remembered the memories from his past life in the system.
Those memories were supposed to be unpacked when he was sixteen, but because there was still a prerequisite of “meeting Jian Ci”, and he hadn’t met Jian Ci when he was sixteen, it had been postponed.
But after he and Jiang Qingyue agreed on the time after he turned eighteen, he was going to teach Jiang Qingyue to grow up, help Jiang Qingyue cultivate, and use the methods of He Huan Sect to lay his foundation…
So it was time to go see Jian Ci.
And Jian Ci was also waiting for him.
The matter of Ren Shuhan’s imminent return to the mansion was briefly reported to the Jiang Mansion by Wen Xin, and Ah Lu also reported the news to Jiang Zhixi, so Jian Ci, who had been secretly watching Jiang Zhixi, also knew about it.
When she was in the immortal realm, Jiang Zhixi watched the excitement and then left without saying a word to Ren Shuhan.
At that time, she still felt a little aggrieved and had the pride of being the mistress of the Jiang Mansion. Because since Ren Shuhan brought Jiang Qingyue, it meant that Ren Shuhan had always known about the situation in the Jiang Mansion, and he even returned to the Lantern City. But he turned a blind eye to what she had painstakingly managed over the past two years. Did that mean she, Jiang Zhixi, couldn’t compare to a mortal man?
But after leaving, she calmed down and thought about it again.
Mortal men would eventually die. If she could establish a good relationship with Ren Shuhan, then in the future, when Jiang Qingyue died, wouldn’t it be her turn?
As for Xie Xiaozhu, even though he had extraordinary talent, Ye Shuangfei had revealed to Jiang Zhixi that it was merely a result of a lot of medicinal supplements, and the future was still uncertain. However, someone like Ren Shuhan, with his talents, had already surpassed Xie Xiaozhu before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. His potential was limitless. His actions this time also demonstrated his character. So even if she couldn’t become his immortal partner, being a confidante wasn’t a bad option.
Jiang Zhixi was a rational person.
Upon further consideration, even the master of Guangsha and the future head of the Ye family were flattering him. Why should she be any different? If it was about beauty, wasn’t Yun Xiangrong beautiful too? What kind of treatment did she receive from him? Jiang Zhixi’s mentality stabilized.
So she returned to Lantern City overnight and continued her unfinished business.
Jian Ci’s psychological activities were in stark contrast to hers.
The unworthy disciple had finally returned, and Jian Ci would unconsciously reveal a strange smile in his dreams.
In a positive story, it’s important to suppress before you rise, so he had deliberately skipped the suppression part before entering the story and went straight to the rise. However, he encountered a bug and had been defeated for so long. After enduring for so many years, the only spiritual support he had was the expectation of a comeuppance.
And within that expectation of a comeuppance was also his expectation of Ren Shuhan.
Jian Ci had never been in a relationship before he entered the story, and this time he entered the story mainly to experience love.
He had been immersed in killing games for a long time and was a natural professional gamer, but he was not very sensitive to emotions like love. Only his physiological needs were obvious. So in order to satisfy his needs, the plot of this book was arranged very melodramatically, with the harmonious part coming very early, belonging to the kind where intimacy comes before love.
This part of the plot happened during his confrontation with Jiang Zhixi.
Jiang Zhixi secretly prepared some harmonious powder, originally intending to use it on Ren Shuhan, but Jian Ci discovered it and stopped her. So Ren Shuhan, in order to help his master relieve himself…
The later part, Jian Ci read twice.
Given his robotic personality, it could be said that he was very much looking forward to this kind of behavior.
Jian Ci thought, this was normal too. Ren Shuhan was a tool custom-made for him. This aspect should be good. Since he took the initiative to serve me, I should enjoy it. Although his flirting with Jiang Zhixi before was disgusting, if there wasn’t this prelude, there wouldn’t be his subsequent groveling. So he would just endure it for now.
This time, when he confronted Jiang Zhixi, which was not in the original work, this part of the plot would definitely happen.
However, what he didn’t expect was that Ren Shuhan was indeed good at this, but he had already used it to serve someone else.
…
On Jiang Qingyue’s birthday, Ren Shuhan was sweating all over.
Because he suddenly decided to change course, they didn’t return to Lantern City as planned, but went to several places in the south along the Sword Path.
One of the sceneries was particularly beautiful, nestled among mountains and waters, warm as spring. Jiang Qingyue didn’t want to leave once he stopped, and he used the savings he had accumulated over the years to buy a small courtyard here.
So his birthday was celebrated here, with many red cloths pulled out and used to decorate the new house. Lanterns were hung in front of the house and in the backyard, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Seeing how excited Jiang Qingyue was, Ren Shuhan tried to seduce him with all his might, which was simply too cute. Finally, he went along with his wishes and prepared to teach him the techniques he had always wanted to learn.
Jiang Qingyue was initially excited and less shy, so he took the initiative. But he quickly realized that he was still too shy, so he resolutely chose to evade, act spoiled, and keep pushing and kicking the other. Unfortunately, his legs and waist were all soft, and he had no strength. In Ren Shuhan’s eyes, it was completely a display of being spoiled and easily suppressed.
Once the arrow was shot, Jiang Qingyue could only feel embarrassed all over, blushing, and starting to bite and scratch him. But by then his arms were also weak, his voice was drifting, and he lacked persuasiveness.
In the end, his shyness reached a critical point, his mind was already chaotic, his consciousness was flying, and he gave up thinking, just quietly following his inner thoughts, wanting to rest against Ren Shuhan.
But Ren Shuhan pushed him away and took out a book, saying seriously, “Qingyue, it’s time to study.”
Jiang Qingyue: “O.O”
Lol imagine doing the do and your partner suddenly tells you it’s time to study for real
