Flying Dust - Chapter 14

At dinner, Mo Fei Chen grabbed two steamed buns as he didn’t eat at the hall and went back to his room to lie down, knowing that he would not be able to sleep in peace when a group of his fellow senior and junior martial brothers arrived later.

Sure enough, not long after he had just fallen asleep, he was pushed into the corner of the bed by one of his Shi Xiong. There was someone lying beside him with the faint scent of someone lying next to him, not as thick as a woman’s perfume but also not as sweaty as his fellow disciples from Kun Yun mountain manor. The other party said in a soft voice, “Mo Shi Di, tonight you’ll have to be squeezed in again.”

It was Jun Wushuang’s voice, at first Mo Fei Chen was somewhat annoyed but now it was vanish like smoke and disperse like clouds—completely disappeared.

But the feeling of being squeezed against the wall likened to a round flat cake was really unpleasant.

Mo Fei Chen suddenly came up with a good idea. Before he left the mountain, He Yunfeng had given him some pocket money, so if he didn’t use it now, when would he use it?

When he opened his eyes, he then saw Jun Wushuang’s face facing him.

Dude, since you had a fair and clean appearance, I was scared to death, I thought it was a maiden lying next to me.

Mo Fei Chen quietly got up and saw that the floor was in disorder, covered with the “corpses” of his fellow Shi Xiong. He put on his outer clothes and quietly pushed out of the door.

Although this town was not big, it was very prosperous. There were still some small stalls on the street late at night. In the evening, Mo Fei Chen did not eat enough so he bought two sticky rice cakes (mochi cakes) for ‘one wen’ from a stall that was about to close and chewed on the food. If there was any “entertainment” for the ancient people at night, that certainly would be…

Mo Fei Chen followed the well-dressed young masters to this town’s gold-digging cave.

Every entrance of the brothel, there were definitely two young women standing at the front with their handkerchief in the air. This was the so-called “shop front”, in addition to that, the flirtatious voices of the girls made the cool disciples go soft on their knees.

Mo Fei Chen smiled and was just about to step in when someone grabbed his wrist.

“Do you know what kind of place it is?”

Mo Fei Chen turned around and saw Jun Wushuang. His good-looking eyebrows at this very moment were tightly furrowed together.

“You… Why do you follow me?” Mo Fei Chen tried to retract his wrist, but the strength of the other party’s fingers was too unexpectedly great.

“You still haven’t told me whether you know what kind of place that is!”

At this moment, a girl saw that the two of them were handsome and charming. They brought the long swords with them, so they must be young swordsmen.

“Hey, what are you two doing by standing there? Quickly come in, come in!” The girl turned around and her handkerchief almost touched Mo Fei Chen’s face.

Mo Fei Chen was about to step forward when Jun Wushuang pulled him behind him, as if the girl had instantly become a martial arts great demon. Mo Fei Chen had no choice but to jump out so that he could reveal his face,”I want a room! How much is it?”

Jun Wushuang turned his head back and looked at him. His flying eyebrows were like sideburns 1[飛眉如鬢: It’s a very long, upward sloping eyebrow. Usually, it gives you a very powerful and heroic look. ]and there was one kind of intensity inside his gaze. That moment of imposing manners pressed Mo Fei Chen’s nerves and even his temples suddenly ached.

“One tael of silver a night, that’s a fair price. Come, come, come I’ll show the two gentlemen in.” The girl tried to take Jun Wushuang’s hand, but he shook it off.

Jun Wushuang’s eyes were still unwaveringly fixed on Mo Fei Chen and he spoke coldly, “I apologized to this Miss but we don’t need it.”

When he turned around and pulled Mo Fei Chen to leave, Mo Fei Chen finally came to his senses.

Grandma ah, scared me to death!

Mo Fei Chen had always thought that Jun Wushuang was a gentle person, had sense of propriety and knew his limit but he had forgotten that obviously Liu Feiying placed a high hopes on Jun Wushuang and he might even be trained as the next palace master, so how could such a person just be a “three goods2[三好 :three goods (honourable title given to students who are good in ethics, study and physical training)]” disciple who obey the rule?

But Mo Fei Chen was determined not to go back to that bed where he couldn’t even lie down.

“Wait, wait! Wait a minute!” Mo Fei Chen grabbed Jun Wushuang’s hand and squatted on the ground, starting to play a trick, “It’s true that I want a room, but I didn’t say I’d drink their wine and go have sex with their girls!”

“What do you mean?” Jun Wushuang pulled him up from the ground in one go. Just now Mo Fei Chen had unnaturally used his internal force, but judging from Jun Wushuang’s stance, his internal force and cultivation was probably even higher than Mo Fei Chen’s.

“Aiyou,” Mo Fei Chen imitated and called out like the lady of flowers (female prostitute), “There must be a bed in the room, right? If there’s a bed, then that means I can sleep~!”

The corners of Jun Wushuang’s mouth raised a little and when he smiled, his eyes were so long and narrow that they seemed to have a thousand imperceptible thoughts, “So this is what Mo Shi Di is up to?”

“M-hn! Hn!” Mo Fei Chen nodded his head like a pounding garlic, “If you don’t believe me, Jun Shi Xiong can sleep with me for one night. I promise not to drink, not to look for girls, just to sleep under the quilt.”

Jun Wushuang looked at the dark circles under Mo Fei Chen’s eyes, shook his head, pulled him towards that girl and took out a couple pieces of silver from his waist, “Give us a room, no need for food or wine and no need anyone else to serve us, a clean bed and mattress will do.”

A hint of ambiguity slipped through the woman’s eyes as she glanced at Jun Wushuang and then he took a look at Mo Fei Chen again, “I understand, I understand!”

Mo Fei Chen thought to himself, ‘What do you understand, big sister?’

That woman dragged them through the hall, walked past the big drinking party, where there was a lot of singing and dancing inside. Jun Wushuang’s face immediately sank again, he grabbed Mo Fei Chen and walked quickly inside, not giving him a chance to look around.

When they arrived at the side room, the woman saluted them in a polite gesture, “These two young masters, please rest well! This little girl won’t bother you guys anymore.”

Jun Wushuang pushed the door in and pointed to the satin bed, “You want to sleep right?”

Mo Fei Chen blinked and ran happily over to the bed, pounced on it and wrapped the quilt around him, “Finally, I can get some sleep!”

Jun Wushuang shook his head in amusement and patted him, “Sleep inside! I am the one who paid for this room.”

Mo Fei Chen pouted his mouth, thinking that at least it was better than having four people in one bed.

He curled up with his back leaning against the wall and fell asleep in a couple of minutes.

Not too long after that, Jun Wushuang shook him, “Hey… hey…”

“What’s the…?” Mo Fei Chen pushed his hand away.

Q”You can even sleep like this?!” Jun Wushuang spoke close to his ear, causing him to itch and couldn’t help but to open his eyes.

“What’s the matter?” When he listened carefully, he then realized that ‘something’ was going on across the wall!

Mo Fei Chen looked at Jun Wushuang’s delicate face and couldn’t help but feel happy, “I said, so it turned out that you were shy when you heard that sound. Let this little brother (小弟) take a look, maybe the one who looks so pretty is not Jun Shi Xiong but Jun Shi Jie instead.”

He thought that this kind of prestigious and well-known sect disciple like Jun Wushuang would righteously tell Mo Fei Chen not to be impudent, but who would have thought that he would laugh lightly and tug Mo Fei Chen’s hand downwards until he touched a hot hard object. Mo Fei Chen seemed to be struck by electricity and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

“Jun Shi Xiong… you have a lot of money anyway. Why don’t you ask for another room and find a girl…?” Mo Fei Chen’s mouth was suddenly held down by the other party.

Jun Wushuang’s appearance was naturally handsome. He usually had the image of a modest gentleman, but at this moment, a hint of evil slipped through his eyes. He pulled Mo Fei Chen up. He took off one of the decorations that hung on the wall to reveal a small hole.

“Woah…” Mo Fei Chen was about to gasp in surprise when Jun Wushuang made a gesture that told him not to say a word.

Jun Wushuang looked first through the small hole, then put his hand over Mo Fei Chen’s ear and said in a lengthened voice, “It’s a beautiful woman and It’s also a prostitute…”

At that moment, Mo Fei Chen realized that ‘this Jun Shi Xiong’ looked decent on the surface, but he was actually the same as himself. No, maybe he was even worse than himself.

When he looked into the small hole, Mo Fei Chen first saw the woman’s enlarged breast swaying, she was sitting on a man’s body, moving up and down, that speed, that force, Mo Fei Chen swallowed his saliva when he saw it.

Before then he looked at the man’s face, the more he saw him panting and enjoying himself, the more he looked familiar.

It was as if his heart was being split open and exploded with a loud clang.

It was very similar to seven years ago, his eyes were closed tightly and his pursed up lips.

Yet it was not the same as seven years ago, the lines of his features looked even more profound, more like a knife chisel.

Jun Wushuang patted him but Mo Fei Chen did not respond. He just stared at the man’s side face, kept looking as if he was afraid that he was mistaking him for somebody else.

Mo Fei Chen slowly sat back down on the bed and put both of his hands on his lap, as if he was thinking about something.

“What’s wrong? So dumbfounded by it?” Jun Wushuang also sat beside him and touched him with his shoulder.

The woman in the room across from them let out a small and shrill cry and Mo Fei Chen shivered.

That person was Yu Jin. He was sure he was right.

“What’s exactly wrong with you?” Jun Wushuang’s good looking eyebrows furrowed again. If it was the usual time, Mo Fei Chen would have smiled and teased him, but now he was not in the mood to admire it.

From next door came the sound of a woman getting dressed and a woman’s voice, followed by the door being opened and then closed again.

Mo Fei Chen jumped out of bed, “Jun Shi Xiong, you should properly take a rest. I have a small matter that I need to go out and take care of.”

Looking at Jun Wushuang’s suspicious expression, Mo Fei Chen hurriedly added, “Don’t worry! I am definitely not going to go whoring.” After saying that, he pushed the door and stepped into the dim light of the night.

Relying on his Qing Gong, Mo Fei Chen landed silently on the roof of the house and then ran all the way to see Yu Jin exit from the front door of the brothel.

He descended slowly, hiding in the shadows of the eaves and quietly followed behind Yu Jin.

He felt a bit silly as he could have just called out to Yu Mu Tou and grinned like he did when he was a child and called him ‘Shi Xiong’ but he felt that there was indistinctly something between him and Yu Jin that was no longer the same as before.

Yu Jin walked past the spacious and empty downtown area and wandered into a dark alley.

Mo Fei Chen frowned. Now that Yu Jin had become the Protector of the Jing Shui Sect, how could he not be aware that someone was following him? So he walked boldly into the shadows but before he could open his mouth, he saw two cold dazzling gleams of light. Mo FeiChen backed up immediately as two swords swept over his head. Fortunately, he was quick to dodge.

Shortly after that, the swords came at him again. Mo Fei Chen had studied under He Yunfeng, so it was nothing difficult for him to handle this kind of small role. He drew his sword from his back and after six or seven moves, he got rid of the two men’s sword. Only then, did he get a good look at their attires.

The black attires were not as cumbersome as those of ordinary people, but simply stuck to their bodies, with a soft metal belt around their waists.The face is covered with a mask, revealing green fangs and it was somehow terrifying in the darkness.

Those two men’s swords were seized by Mo Fei Chen, but instead they opened their mouths and said, “Who are you? What are your intentions in following our Jing Shui Sect’s Protector?”

Mo Fei Chen looked at that alleyway, Yu Jin probably had gone far away, so he threw the two men’s swords back.

“I have no bad intentions, I just thought he is good-looking, that’s all right, isn’t it?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure leapt out of the alleyway. The invisible sword Qi pointed straight at Mo Fei Chen’s face. He subconsciously put his fingers on the tip of the sword and blocked it in front of his body. He then took five or six steps backwards.
