Returnee in Jianghu - C48
“Eldest Senior Brother, the Sect Leader is calling for you.”
Tang Ming, who was teaching disciple swordsmanship, heard the messenger disciple’s words and stopped what he was doing.
“Understood.” Tang Ming nodded to the disciple who had passed on the message, then turned to the group of jet-black junior brothers and said: “To practice the sword arts, the most important thing is to diligently and bitterly train. Don’t slack off in all matters. You guys can practice here.”
“Yes sir!”
Tang Ming put away his heart and didn’t continue to waste any more words as he left.
In the main hall, Chu Junran lazily sat at the head of the table. When he saw Tang Ming, his pupils constricted.
“Master.” Tang Ming bowed politely. This was the first time he had seen Tang Ming since they had clearly established their relationship last time.
“Yes.” Chu Junran’s voice was weak and weak. His purple clothes were opened wide, revealing his white and tender chest, “How have you been recently?”
“After soaking in the medicine given by the Godly Doctor, everything is still fine.” Tang Ming answered seriously.
This was how Tang Ming and Chu Junran got along. Tang Ming couldn’t understand why his master didn’t want to get close to him even though he was very concerned about him. When he found out about their other relationship, Tang Ming became even more confused.
“That’s good.” Chu Junran was relieved, “Laughing at Spring Breeze is not good at anything else. He is still good at it.”
“If there is nothing else, your disciple will leave now.” Tang Ming raised his head, leaving Chu Feng in a trance.
Tang Ming looked too much like the genius Tang Qing of the past. Although his personality didn’t seem like Tang Qing at first glance, after interacting with him for a long time, he realized that Tang Ming even looked like Tang Qing in this way, which gave Chu Junran the illusion that Tang Qing was still alive.
In fact, Chu Junran didn’t like Tang Qing. The two of them had fought since they were young, and each had lost half the battle. Unlike Tang Qing, Chu Junran was a radical.
The two of them were probably born to be unreasonable.
The two of them had been friends for many years, even after Chu Junlan had married into the Tang Family Castle.
From family to strength to prestige, they were clearly not in the same field, yet they were fighting happily. Chu Feng thought that Tang Qing would continue to fight like this, but he didn’t expect that both he and Tang Qing would fall for it at the same time …
Chu Junran closed his eyes and opened them again, “Master knows you have a great memory, but you don’t need to write down how long you have been practicing and drinking tea.”
Tang Ming immediately understood. Chu Junran looked at his own experience and replied in a steady voice, “Martial Uncle said the more detailed the better.”
Tang Ming still had another sentence he hadn’t said, and that was when Gu Han informed Tang Ming. At the end, he added, “This one will be shown to Senior Brother.”
Therefore, Tang Ming wrote down everything about him leaving the sect, including his dream of getting caught in the dust. Only, he did not write about the matter of him obtaining the « Fleeting Sword Art ».
It wasn’t because he was on guard against Chu Junran, but because Tang Ming had a feeling that this was something he couldn’t let Chu Junran know about.
Tang Ming had always been confident in his sixth sense.
Chu Junreng did not know that Gu Han had put in so much effort for him. Instead, he reprimanded Gu Han, “Your martial uncle came for you, why don’t you come with him?”
“Yes.” Tang Ming didn’t refute him and instead bowed politely.
“That’s right, it has something to do with the ‘Heaven’s Path’ in your body.” Chu Junran suddenly spoke up, “Su Ziyue’s birthday is coming up in a few days. I will accompany you to the Pure Wind House to get the Blue Lotus Seed.”
Tang Ming raised his head in surprise. Under Chu Junran’s focused gaze, he nodded his head in agreement.
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave.” Chu Junran yawned, as if he was tired.
“Yes.” After saluting, Tang Ming left on his own accord.
The moment Tang Ming left, Chu Junran suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, “Junior Brother, how much longer do you need to eavesdrop?”
“Senior apprentice-brother.” Gu Han came out from the screen and looked at Chu Junran with a serious gaze, “If senior doesn’t want to go to the Pure Wind House …”
“The condition Su Ziyue suggested was that if you want the blue lotus seed, I have to get it myself.” Chu Junran looked at Gu Han, “Who is he doing this for? Junior brother, do you still not understand?”
“Senior apprentice-brother …” Gu Han wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. He could no longer say anything to stop Chu Jungran from going to the Pure Wind House.
Apart from her only sister, Su Ruyue, who else could Su Ziyue have thrown her face?
Because Su Ruyue had avoided the Pure Wind House like a poisonous scorpion and because Su Ruyue had once again gone to the Pure Wind House, in Gu Han’s eyes, it was a complete and unlucky encounter.
If Senior Brother didn’t act recklessly in the past …
Gu Han immediately interrupted his thoughts.
“In the end, it’s me who has betrayed her.” Chu Junran looked out the window. It was a sunny autumn day, and the sun was shining down on the ground, making it impossible for him to get in. His heart had long been frozen, “Now, I just hope that this child can live a smooth life.”
“Forget it, I’ll go prepare the things needed to travel to the Pure Wind House.” Gu Han looked at Chu Junran and spoke hesitantly, “I want to… Carry your own sword? ”
“Why do you bring a sword?” Under Gu Han’s insistent gaze, he sighed and took a step back, “Don’t show it.”
“Alright.”
“Senior apprentice-brother, senior apprentice-brother!”
Tang Ming, who had just returned to his room, was greeted by a girl the moment he opened the door, “Senior Brother, you’re back!”
“Miao Miao?” Tang Ming saw that it was Xu Miao, but he was puzzled as to why Xu Miao had appeared in his room.
“Yes, senior brother is me.” Xu Miao looked excited. “Great Elder …” No, Master has already agreed to take me in as his disciple. ”
“Really? That Miao Miao will be my junior martial sister from now on.” Tang Ming stroked Xu Miao’s head. The little girl was especially adorable. Tang Ming could not find it annoying.
“There’s more! My senior sisters told me to bring something for you, but I haven’t agreed to it yet. Senior Brother, is Miao Miao really that smart?” Xu Miao’s eyes were bright as she looked at Tang Ming, her face filled with a “Please praise” expression.
Tang Ming’s eyes curved. Just as he wanted to laugh, he suddenly remembered the words “I’ll smile only for you in the future” that he had said to Hong Ying in his dream. Sighing, he gently said to the little girl, “Junior Sister is so amazing.”
“Shi …” Senior Brother, can I take Miao Miao back now? ” Luo Ling, who had been holed up in the corner, opened his mouth.
“Why are you here too?” Tang Ming frowned. His words made Luo Ling’s face fall as he replied, “I’ve been here all along, Senior Brother.”
“So it was you who brought my junior sister to my room.” Tang Ming raised his eyebrows.
“Senior brother’s room is the most luxurious. I’ve brought Miao Miao here to take a look. She’s just loitering in Senior brother’s room and doesn’t want to leave.” As Luo Ling spoke, he looked at Tang Ming with a complacent expression, “I’ve succeeded in persuading Master.”
“Yes.” Tang Ming didn’t say anything.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Luo Ling left with his new junior sister. Seeing that it wasn’t too late anymore, Tang Ming also went to sleep.
Not long after, the door to Tang Ming’s room was pushed open. Chu Junran looked at the sleeping Tang Ming and sighed, “How old are you? Still not covered with a blanket.”
As he spoke, he covered Tang Ming with a blanket. After a while, he left.
In the dark night, Tang Ming quietly opened his eyes.
