Chapter 65: Jianqing, What Should I Do If You Died? (1)
The news spread all over Tai Hua Mountain within one hour.
Xie Zizhuo who was always very interested in this kind of thing flew out of Hao Ming Peak, asking every disciple he met, “our Great Brother came back with his wife? With a son aged ten? Really?”
The sixth brother Xiu Hen who was designing weapon heard the news. He put down the weapon in his hand and frowned, “the Great Brother takes his wife and son back to Tai Hua Mountain? While his wife is still pregnant?”
The fifth brother Huo Yuchong rushed out from Yu Shou Peak and encountered the third sister who always kept a poker face, Wei Qiongyin. Huo Yuchong was surprised, “sister, did you... did you hear the rumor as well and came out to see what happened?”
Wei Qiongyin nodded, “surely we all care about our Great Brother’s marriage. I heard that his wife looks scary and fights valiantly, I wonder...”, Wei Qiongyin stopped for a while, “I wonder how our Great Brother fell in love with her.”
Huo Yuchong saw second brother Zuo Yunmo flying by. He stopped him and asked where he was going. Huo Yuchong sensed sorrow out of him, then he heard the later saying, “I heard Great Brother brought back his wife and son, and... they seemed deeply in love with each other. Great Brother brought her straight towards Yu Xiao Peak once they were back.”
“He wants to introduce her to Sir Xuan Lingzi?”
Zuo Yunmo nodded reluctantly but failed to force a smile.
Suddenly a red glittering light rushed out from Qing Lan Peak. That was the little sister who was in seclusion trying to pass the middle-stage of Gold Core! She brandished her sword and rushing straight towards the Yu Xiao Peak. After she made it to the gate, she yelled, “Great Brother! I come to visit my sister-in-law and my nephew! Let me in! I need to fight with... no, chat with your wife!”
Luo Jianqing, Mo Qiu, and Qing Kun who just arrived at Yu Xiao Peak, “...”
Mo Qiu was the first one who couldn’t bear to hear it anymore. He took out his scourge and said, “Luo Jianqing, let me take care of this weirdo. Wait a moment here. I’ll make her take that back. Who the hell is her sister-in-law!?”
Looking at Mo Qiu silently, Qing Kun stood beside Luo Jianqing, with no expression on his face. He didn’t say anything until Mo Qiu couldn’t hold his temper. “Are you really going to bully a woman? I thought the cultivators of your kind were just a bunch of people who want to let out their true selves, but, well, I never thought you guys would even bully a woman.”
Mo Qiu yelled at him in anger, “shut up!”
Qing Kun said these words in total calmness, but his gestures were – in some level – contradicted with his cute childish face. A little kid with chubby visage saying some profound sentences, even Luo Jianqing couldn’t help laughing.
Luo Jianqing shook his head, “I didn’t expect they would misunderstand. I’ll lead you through the forest to my house, before I go to Cang Shuang Peak to report everything to Sir Hao Xingzi. That should sort things out.”
Qing Kun nodded like a well-behaved kid.
On the contrary, though satisfied with this solution, Mo Qiu sniggered, “that’s right. How can I be your wife?! Even if we are married...”, he stopped for a moment, “even if the rumor is true, you are the one who should be ‘wife’!”
Luo Jianqing let out a laugh... and slapped Mo Qiu’s face with his scabbard.
Nobody knew what Mo Qiu was thinking about. This Late-stage Nascent Soul Period cultivator wasn’t able to dodge the slap.
Mo Qiu was knocked into the air.
Not before long, he flew back, totally irritated, “Luo! Jian! Qing!”
The gorgeous cultivator lifted his eyes and took a glance at him, “yes? I am listening. You don’t need to raise your voice.”
“You!”
The sound of their laughing and chatting fulfilled the bamboo forest. Breeze came in, inviting the leaves to dance. They’ve lightened up one end of the forest, which made the other side drowned into extreme solitude.
The moment Luo Jianqing stepped into the Tai Hua Mountain, Xuan Lingzi opened his eyes. He quickened his way to the window, then looked at the Mountain Gate in distance.
It’s been too long. His disciple finally came back to the Yu Xiao Peak... with two strangers.
Xuan Lingzi had lingered behind the door for a long time. In the past, every time Luo Jianqing came back, he would come out of seclusion and meet him in person to make sure his disciple was truly all right. This time, however, he had a quarrel with Jianqing before the latter went out, not to mention Jianqing discovered his secret. How could he face Luo Jianqing...
But there was no choice left for Xuan Lingzi. He found out the cultivator dressing scarlet and a kid in bice clothes very soon.
Xuan Lingzi knew Mo Qiu once saved Luo Jianqing’s life. He saw this cultivator once in the Liu Yan Valley in his primordial life, but the kid... when Xuan Lingzi’s Spiritual Sense passed through the kid, he was stunned, and then sensed it several times.
There was no doubt that this was a normal six-or-seven-year-old kid with no Spiritual Power nor Spiritual Bones.
Why did Jianqing bring a kid like this to Tai Hua Mountain?
This kid in bice was standing beside Jianqing who was also wearing bice, and the younger one was even holding Jianqing’s hand!
Xuan Lingzi’s eyes widened and felt his heart twisted.
That boy... looked like Jianqing!
The Spiritual Sense of a cultivator at Deity Transformation Period wasn’t a thing that Luo Jianqing and Qing Kun could feel, but Mo Qiu looked at Xuan Lingzi’s direction with a complicated expression on his face. Luo Jianqing led them pass through the forest and arrived at the two bamboo houses.
Green forest surrounded the two houses, with several spiritual herb garden decorated around. There were spiritual flowers planted in the garden as well. A delicate pavilion was sat beside the river. The water was flowing along. The whole place was plain but snug.
Qing Kun was satisfied with this place. He walked straight to the stone seat and sat down while Mo Qiu still wandered around and set his eyes on Xuan Lingzi’s house. The Fiend Cultivator dressed in scarlet intentionally raised his voice. “Little beauty, you live here by yourself? Alone? That’s perfect! I’ll share a room with you tonight. Let the kid stay in the other one.”
Qing Kun ignored him.
Luo Jianqing put his hand on the scabbard, about to slap Mo Qiu one more time but was interrupted by the latter.
Mo Qiu raised an eyebrow, smiling mildly, “about to do it again?”
Luo Jianqing peeked at him and drew back his scabbard, said, “the other house belongs to my Master. Do not bother him while he is in seclusion. I have an extra bamboo bed in my room. I will share a bed with Qing Kun tonight. You can use the other one. Cultivators like us don’t have particular demand for sleeping. Relaxation can be done by meditation, after all.”
Mo Qiu’s mouth twitched, “you’d rather sleep with him but not me?”
