The Way of the Sword (BL) - Chapter 143

Zemin Yan tugged at Yi Yuga’s sleeve, making the 11-year-old look at him. Zemin Yan pointed discreetly at his copper ring, of course, that Yi Yuga understood the reference and smiled as if he had won a great treasure.

Well, he was not far from that!

Then, when Zemin Yan moved away from Yi Yuga a little bit, he felt someone pulling on his clothes. He looked up and saw that Zhong Liang was calling him.

“Little Yan wants this Sword Sheath too?” Zhong Liang asked with his voice full of indifference, of course, he used his Heavenly Qi to block any sound.

Zemin Yan was silent, he had the impression that his God of War was becoming increasingly warm to him. This was good and bad at the same time, as he was happy to be friends with Zhong Liang, but he didn’t like being treated like a baby who has his cheeks kissed all the time.

He’s almost an adult!

Cough … Cough … yes, almost an adult only needs about six years to reach the greatest age in this ancient world.

Zhong Liang understood little Yan’s silence as if he confirmed his desire to have that sword scabbard.

“I can get a better sword sheath!” Zhong Liang spoke in his voice full of indifference, but little Yan could sense that he was saying this seriously.

Zemin Yan found Zhong Liang’s behavior a little amusing, especially when this senior Zhong tried to talk. Clearly, he was not socially skilled. To others, his attitude of a few words made Zhong Liang look cool and full of confidence.

However, in Zemin Yan’s eyes, Zhong Liang’s actions showed that he didn’t have much communication skills or that he found it all boring. Of course, he could only speculate about that.

Zemin Yan did not answer and just looked at Zhong Liang with his beautiful innocent deer eyes, even though inside he was laughing maliciously, as it was a little fun to see senior Zhong struggling with words.

Little Yan thought Zhong Liang was incredibly cute trying to be kind, but even so, his voice was full of indifference.

“So don’t be sad or worried,” said Zhong Liang a little anxiously since his voice was still indifferent, could little Yan be misunderstanding what he was talking about? Was that why little Yan being silent?

“Okay, I’m going to trust older brother Liang in the future,” said Zemin Yan with a cute smile on his small face.

Of course, he was not speaking literally, because he had items many times more valuable in his ring, but he also did not want Zhong Liang’s efforts, when trying to console him, for these efforts to be in vain.

Zhong Liang’s icy heart felt very warm when he heard Zemin Yan’s words, he felt a strong urge to kiss little Yan’s cheeks. Too bad there were a lot of people around, otherwise he would hug little Yan and hear him complaining and pouting.

Zemin Yan felt a cold shiver and looked at Zhong Liang strangely, he felt that this God of War had quite wrong practices about proper distance … He felt a threatening feeling that he would be kissed again!

Zhong Liang felt a strange urge to laugh, even though he didn’t know how to laugh since he had that cold face all year. He wanted to laugh when he saw Zemin Yan’s face turning pink as he rubbed his cheeks.

“You are so smart,” said Zhong Liang in a very soft voice, very different from his usually cold and indifferent voice. This senior Zhong did not notice how his tone of voice had become warmer.

That tone of voice made Zemin Yan sure that this God of War wanted to take advantage of him again!

” Ahhh, but he used such a kind voice … I can’t even be angry!” Zemin Yan thought full of disappointment. When Zhong Liang acted like the God of War, little Yan could not fight with his hero, when Zhong Liang used a kind tone, he also could not fight with this kind person.

There was a saying in the Qin Empire that said: ” A gentle voice can even make tigers become lambs “. Of course, that saying did not literally refer to tigers, but even fierce people became calmer when dealing with a person who was kind.

Zemin Yan thought that this saying really fit his current situation, only that he forgot that he is not a fierce tiger, but just a small kitten and that Zhong Liang was not at all kind, but a smart tiger.

When Zhong Liang had a “smiling look”, Zemin Yan could only retreat away and could not even fight properly.

“Young master, so when can you fight this Zhong man ?” The spirit of the copper ring, Hu Zi, asked in the mind of Zemin Yan, as he observed the whole situation.

Zemin Yan: (…)

He had no answer! So, he had to punish Zhong Liang in some way … He would make Zhong Liang speak more every day, making him feel ashamed!

Zemin Yan’s expression became better and he was able to face Zhong Liang directly, he now knew he had to be a little evil to be able to punish this God of War from his heart.

If he were very nice and kind, Zhong Liang would take advantage of him and treat him like a baby for the rest of his life!

While Zemin Yan had a lovely exchange of views with Zhong Liang, the internal disciples and guest cultivators looked on with envy and greed at the items that have been shown so far.

Soon the internal disciples and the invited martial cultivators would learn that the treasures only tended to improve and that many would spit blood, probably, they would lament in their hearts about the luck of the novice disciples!

Of course, Zemin Yan would just look at it all as if he were watching a big piece, watching everyone be amazed by the items in the chests.

Zemin Yan’s friends, with the exception of Xiong Jia and Chu Yue, all saw these items as fleeting clouds in the sky. Yi Yuga was relaxed since his brother Yan was going to take care of everything, so he was even more grateful and was determined to become stronger to help Zemin Yan.

Zhong Liang was interested in looking at the items and seeing what Zemin Yan would like to have because he would give the items hundreds of times better for his little Yan. So, he had a serious look and was focused.

If Elder Han knew about this, he would probably laugh at Zhong Liang for being cheated by Zemin Yan’s lamb attitude. Zemin Yan had the copper ring filled with strong, high-quality items.

Of course, Zemin Yan has not forgotten that he has to be aware when he is alone with Zhong Liang so that his cheeks are not used!
