Volume 2 Chapter 34 (2/2)
Because of this, he showed no sign of complacency and only retracted his wooden sith an emotionless face The tip of his sas pointed doard to show respect Clasping his hands together, he lowered his head in apology “I apologize for the displeasure Many thanks for Brother's helpful pointers”
The rogue cultivator covered his own face, unable to speak The scholar with the folding fan raised his brows, retracted the folding fan back into his palht, “His veno Qian lowered his eyes, he had swept a glance toward the Azure Dragon Platforether in discussion Tang WanQiu had even shown a hint of a smile Only then did he wipe his cold sweat on the hilt of his sword, feeling like he could retreat now that he had made his point
He let loose a breath in relief, thinking, “In the future, I'd better pick fewer fights, and displease fewer people”
But this issue was clearly not over yet Cheng Qian had wholeheartedly apologized, but when he turned around with his wooden sword, he heard an inhuht there!”
And then there was a sharp hiss of the wind froed to one side, but so Qian couldn't dodge, so he could only raise the wooden sword in his hand
Right then, a hand forcefully caught his arht into that person's chest The clear sound of clashi+ngsharpness Cheng Qian's pupils narrowed into slits — The defeated rogue cultivator had disregarded everything in his anger and slashed at hi Qian had been pulled aside by his Eldest shi+xiong
Yan ZhengMing's sword, which he didn't ue cultivator's sword But that rogue cultivator's black charcoal of a brother ed with his energy, directly hitting the end of Yan ZhengMing's sword and causing it to slip in his hand The rogue cultivator's sword, which should have been deflected, changed directions because of this and sliced into Yan ZhengMing's shoulder
Cheng Qian's sight turned red instantly
Yan ZhengMing first becae to express his fury before he was beaten by the pain of his ‘heavy wound' — He had originally meant to unsheathe his sword and cut down his opponent, but he didn't get to do this because it felt like the injured side of his body could no longer exert any strength
Of course, the outsiders didn't know any of these details In their eyes, theSect Leader Yan had only held his sithout aa steady andpeople
After inhaling a deep breath expressionlessly, Yan ZhengMing finally spoke, “I've gained neledge today”
Now that things had reached this point, Tang WanQiu finally spoke froon Platforon Platform, so she was quite a distance away, but each of her word could be heard clearly, as if she was speaking directly next to theon Competition, leave as soon as possible Don't loiter around to create a disturbance, what kind of place do you think this is!”
Seeing that soue cultivator brothers exchanged a look In the end, they didn't dare to continueviciously, they disappeared into the crowd and left
Yan ZhengMing hissed lightly, released Cheng Qian, and said through gritted teeth, “Let's go”
Cheng Qian held onto a corner of his sleeve so tightly his fingers ht puncture the fabric In a barely audible voice, he spoke next to Yan ZhengMing's ear, “I' was surprised He forcibly reigned in his look of pain and asked, “What did you say?”
Cheng Qian swept his reddened eyes over Yan ZhengMing's bloody shoulder “One day, I' raised a hand to clap his back, “Nonsense… Ow, aiyo… I'll slap you if you spew any Qian looked at hi's arm around his own neck, and wordlessly supported his of resentrudge in his heart
There was a kind of capability unique to soed they felt, as long as there was somebody else close to them as more emotional than they were, they would be able to cal, for exae earlier, but when he heard Cheng Qian's words, he somehow felt that his fury had lessened a lot
Li Yun hurried to help support Yan ZhengMing and released Cheng Qian's hand Cheng Qian silently followed theround in front of him
The four of theon Island without a word
“Forget it, Copper Coin,” Yan ZhengMing saw that Cheng Qian's face seeo to kill those people, so he aardly tried to console hiin with nobody would be able to accept that, so don't keep a grudge against theht that he would ever hear this kind of enlightening words fro He i hand to feel his Eldest shi+xiong's forehead
Cheng Qiansee He stiffly turned half of his body around, reached out to lift Cheng Qian's chin slightly, and said in a?”
So's heart burst with such joy, that his wound didn't even hurt sobehind hi sorry for this shi+xiong of yours? Ah, out of gratitude for your filial piety, I'll allow you to serve tea for this Sect Leader”
Cheng Qian slapped his hand away “Scram!”
And then he ran toward his own courtyard
Yan ZhengMing looked around for a bit, found a black stone pillar on a nearby corridor, and told Li Yun, “Help ht that he had soht hi stare fixedly at the stone pillar, he asked in slight worry, “Why… Eldest shi+xiong, is so,” Yan ZhengMing said happily, “It's quite clear”
Li Yun only understood what hewhile He i truly couldn't be trained to stop eating shi+t [7]”
Yan ZhengMing studied his own reflection on the stone pillar's surface The s to iance Even as an injured person, he re Qian's reddened eyes had given Yan ZhengMing a peculiar feeling It was as if a snore him all day and bite his hand for no reason had coht to sneakily lick at the wound on his hand It felt very tender and soothing
