Chapter 39 The Jianghu Here Is Unusual (2/2)

Xin Shisiniang appeared during this time. His gaze was on her and he actually did not know how to open his mouth.

Xin Shisiniang placed her hands on waist and smiled, her eyes were bright as she said, ”What's wrong, kid? Cat got your tongue? You said 'good' three times in a row and suddenly I'm not good? I'm not as good as the moon in the sky, or the snow on the ground or even the small plum blossom flower?”

The plum blossom flower could not help but shake when she said that last sentence, it was afraid of Xin Shisiniang would unleash her wrath on it. It was rare for plants and trees to have intelligence. It was not easy for it to obtain this kind of intelligence and it treasured it a lot.

If he was able to transform into a human, he probably would have its head on the ground to express his loyalty.

After all, no sharp wind or deadly snow was scarier than Xin Shisiniang.

He noticed that Xin Shisiniang did not show any strange reaction, there was no pity or mockery when she saw him sitting in a wheelchair, which made him felt good for some reason.

Since this was the case, he felt that Xin Shiniang's direct attitude was incomparable to the other females he had met in his life.

He spoke gently, ”It is because you are too beautiful that the word 'good' is not enough to describe you. I could not think of anything else to say and I think that the layman's description of comparing your looks to the flowers and moon would be a disgrace to you.”

”Young man, you shouldn't compliment her or else she would be too much of herself. Since we have met by fate, why don't you come in and have a chat?” It was that old voice again.

”You first, elder one. There is no reason for me, the younger generation, to not obey you.”

Once they entered the house, it turned out to be a meditation adobe. It was clean and brightly lit.

The elder's clothing was neat and tidy, his white hair like silver, with an air of scholarly refinement, which was the complete opposite of Xin Shisiniang's unpredictable character.

The two sword slaves were by each side of the young man as they pushed him towards the older, Xin Shisiniang was standing behind the elderly man.

The elder spoke, ”My surname is Xin, and this is my daughter, Shisiniang. To be able to travel in this snowy night, young man, is quite an unordinary feat. Where are you from?”

”I am Ye Liuyun, nice to meet your Elder Xin.”

”So you are the young master of Mingjian Peak, no wonder you possess this kind of manner and graceful bearing.”

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, ”There is a saying that one should be careful of three kinds of people when navigating through Jianghu: old people, women, and children. This pair of father and daughter had fulfilled the first two kinds, it is truly interesting of them to be able to reveal my background in one go.”

”I did not think that my name would reach the ears of Elder one. It is truly my honor. If you do not mind me asking, who are you? Forgive me for being crude and unlearned for not being able to recognize your brilliance.”

The old man smiled faintly and did not answer. Instead, he raised his wine cup.

Ye Liuyun had a great capacity for liquor but after downing a few cups, he felt a slight drunkenness. He already did not know what followed next.

When he regained consciousness, it was already early in the morning and he was already back into the palanquin.

When he opened the curtain, Jian Shisi and Jian Shisan were spooked at the same time. Here was already the official pathway that was situated below the mountains, the outer wall of the State Capital of Qing was in sight over the distance.

Ye Liuyun muttered, ”What happened last night?”

Jian Shisan answered: ”Yesterday, I think we entered into a temple at the top of the mountain to stay for the night. How did we wake up and end up here? ”

Jian Shisi kept his silence because what Jian Shisan said was what he knew about so there was no need to say more.

Ye Liuyun recalled the events that had happened yesterday and sighed softly, ”It's true that behind an able man, there are always other able men. Either the father-daughter pair we met yesterday were superlunary immortals or they were demons in disguise, or else why would they quietly trick us?”

”Luckily they did not have any bad intentions.”

”There is no need to be suspicious of whether demons are not brave enough to behave recklessly in the mortal realm. Let us enter the State Capital of Qing, retrieve that item to avoid any unforeseen events,” Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, came up with a decision, there was no point of becoming entangled with the events of the past.The original amount of words he used were four words in the text (”少主想去”).
