Ch66 - Papaya Flavored Senior Brother Gong (4): Fresh way of flirting! Let’s go!

Coiling Dragon Island in the Eastern Sea.

A thousand li of mist, the mountains and rivers reflected each other as the boat sailed into the distance.

The Jiang fu was situated in the middle of this picturesque scenery.

"Esteemed guests, please excuse me for not going out to meet you." Old Jiang came forward to greet He Cong and Zhu Fengyi's teachers. After learning that everything was well, he smiled and turned to the unfamiliar faces of Gou Liang and Yue Qian. "These two are?"

"Haha, Elder, you don't recognize them, this is — —"

"Eldest Martial Brother!"

A surprised voice interrupted He Cong's introduction.

Situ Bai, who had heard that the others had arrived, hurried over to greet them. His eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward. "Eldest Martial Brother, you're here too. Father didn't tell me in advance!"

He had been apprehensive about this mission. After all, the "Lingxi Zither Music Score" was too eye-catching. The journey would not be peaceful, and he was not confident that he could handle it.

Now that he saw Yue Qian, his heart immediately calmed down.

"Third Martial Brother."

When Yue Qian saw him, the smile in his eyes became more genuine.

Old Jiang laughed. "I was wondering which family's young man was so outstanding and elegant. It turns out that you're invincible! Haha, it's no wonder that this old man couldn't recognize you. I've really become muddle-headed. Quickly come forward and let this old man take a look. I haven't seen you for five years, but you've grown into an adult! "

"Yue Qian greets Old Senior Jiang."

Yue Qian couldn't do anything about the elder calling him by his nickname, so the two of them cordially exchanged greetings.

That year, Yue Qian became famous in a single battle. At the age of fourteen, he ranked first on the Young Heroes List. However, in the same year, the Yue family suffered a calamity. Yue Qian entered the Demon Sect and disappeared for three years. Afterwards, he was locked in the sword array by his master. Therefore, although he was the first disciple of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect and his reputation spread far and wide, there were very few outsiders who had seen him. That was why there were these few scenes where they didn't know each other.

Yue Qian briefly mentioned the reason for his visit to the Jiang family, and introduced Gou Liang to Old Jiang.

Although he said that she was a friend, Elder Jiang's eyes still flashed with a dark light when he saw the appearance of this "woman".

As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. The reason why Tang Nuo said with certainty that the Jiang family had chosen Yue Qian as their son-in-law was because Old Jiang had repeatedly revealed his intention of forming a marriage alliance with the Nanshan Sword Sect in public. Although he was referring to the Nanshan Sword Sect, everyone knew that he was looking at the chief disciple of Situ Sect, Yue Qian.

He had never heard of Yue Qian having a confidante, but now he had one. Gou Liang's appearance was a huge threat to his granddaughter …

Just as he was thinking about Jiang Suxi, she arrived.

The crisp sound of a bell could be heard, and a young girl in the prime of her youth ran in. As she entered the door, she heard her grandfather cough twice. She stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly put on the appearance of a well-bred young lady and walked over. Although this was the case, her eyes were full of craftiness as she quickly sized up everyone in the hall. When she saw Yue Qian, her eyes instantly lit up, and the smile on her face deepened. She looked innocent and quick-witted, making people unable to help but smile.

"Suxi greets Grandfather, greets several Senior Brothers … Senior Sisters?"

A clear voice rang out. When Jiang Suxi finally saw Gou Liang, a trace of doubt flashed through her eyes, but she quickly threw it to the back of her mind.

She straightened up and took two steps towards Yue Qian, unable to hide her joy, and said, "I just heard that Yue Qian gege also came, but I didn't dare to believe it. Yue Qian gege, we haven't seen each other for many years, do you still remember Suxi? "

Gou Liang looked at Yue Qian with a smile that was not a smile. The latter almost reflexively avoided Jiang Suxi's hand, and courteously returned a bow, saying, "Junior Martial Sister Jiang."

Jiang Suxi said unhappily, "Yue Qian gege is so distant, we haven't seen each other for five years, but you're not even willing to call me Junior Martial Sister?"

"Suxi." Old Jiang saw Yue Qian's awkward expression and hurriedly interrupted her, saying with a smile, "You ah, you still have the same temperament as before. Now that you're of marriageable age, and Wudi is also an adult, you should call him Senior Brother. How can you still be so willful and mischievous like when you were young? "

"Aiya, Grandfather, Yue Qian gege doesn't like people calling him Wudi. Don't you always remember to change the way you call him?"

She hugged Old Jiang's arm and laughed at him.

Old Jiang's eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at his charming and pure granddaughter. His heart was even more determined to protect her, and he patted her hand, saying, "Alright, it's Grandfather's fault. These distinguished guests have come from afar, and it's getting late. Send these guests to their rooms on Grandfather's behalf. " He then turned to the others and said, "Later in the evening, this old man will host a banquet to welcome you all, and then we can talk properly."

The others obeyed.

Because Yue Qian and the others were all disciples of the same generation, they didn't arrange separate courtyards according to the sect, but lived together. It was just that Gou Liang didn't know how to arrange it.

Jiang Suxi said, "This Senior Sister, I didn't know that there was such a magnificent and peerless beauty like Senior Sister in the martial arts world. Today, I'm really fortunate to be able to meet Senior Sister. Suxi has never left the island since she was born. Why don't Senior Sister live with Suxi and tell Suxi about the scenery outside the island? "

Gou Liang smiled and asked, "Sleep together and have a long talk?"

Jiang Suxi was startled, and then she smiled even more happily, "If that's the case, it's naturally best, but —"

"Nonsense!"

Yue Qian interrupted their laughter and pulled Gou Liang back to her side. She glared at him and then apologized to Jiang Suxi, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Jiang. He can live with me, there's no need to bother with the arrangements."

Jiang Suxi's eyes widened in astonishment, "But …"

Situ Bai was also very surprised by his request, her mouth gaping so wide that a fist could be stuffed inside.

He Cong and the other two looked as if they were used to this. It had always been like this throughout their journey. Even if the Jiang fu's rules were stricter than when they stayed at the inn, no one could stop the head disciple of Nanshan Sword Sect from living in the same room as his "confidante," right?

After entering the room, Gou Liang looked at him mockingly, "Hero Yue has hurt a young girl's heart again."

Yue Qian opened her mouth and retorted, "Who did this to you?"

Gou Liang's smiling face suddenly disappeared, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes, like a thousand miles of ice. He coldly snorted, "What, do you think I'm in your way? Yue Qian gege? "

Yue Qian's face suddenly flushed red. He was already used to Gou Liang's unpredictable personality, and upon hearing this, he begged for mercy, "Brother Ye, don't tease me. I only met her a few times when I was young, so it can't be said that we have any friendship."

"If that little girl heard you say this, I'm afraid that her tears would drown this island."

"Brother Ye is speaking nonsense again."

Yue Qian had no choice but to return to the topic at hand and say that he wanted to go to the next room to talk to Situ Bai about some sect matters, so that he could be careful — although the Jiang fu was heavily guarded, it was hard to say that no Devil Sect disciples had infiltrated.

Gou Liang waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

"Eldest Martial Brother!"

Situ Bai glanced behind him, and seeing that Gou Liang did not follow, he immediately moved to his side and winked, "Eldest Martial Brother, who is that girl? You guys?? "

"There's a reason for this, don't worry about it." Yue Qian roughly dealt with his curiosity, asking, "When did you come, did Master have any instructions?"

There were a total of four disciples under Situ Bai's tutelage.

Among them, Yue Qian was ranked first, but he was the youngest. Second Martial Brother and Fourth Martial Sister were both over thirty years old, married, and had children. Situ Bai was ranked third, and was Situ Changtian's biological son. He was already twenty-three years old this year. The reason for this age gap was that Situ Changtian only looked at talent when accepting disciples, not blood relatives — even Situ Bai had only been officially accepted as a disciple by his father when he was nine years old and displayed a talent for swordsmanship, which was of the same origin as Situ Changtian's swordsmanship.

Although Yue Qian was young, he had been mature and prudent since he was young, and had the prestige of a Eldest Martial Brother.

Therefore, he expressed his unwillingness to talk about it. No matter how curious Situ Bai was, he could only suppress his curiosity and not mention it, answering his questions honestly.

It turned out that Elder Jiang's first request for help was sent to the Southern Mountain Sword Sect, and after a secret conversation with Situ Bai, he sent letters to the Sanskrit Pavilion and the Jiuchen Building.

Therefore, Situ Bai arrived at Coiling Dragon Island one step ahead of them.

Situ Bai said, "Before I left, Father specifically told me that I was only going south to protect Elder Jiang and his grandson. He told me not to be obsessed with fighting the Devil Cult and lose the big picture for a small gain. Other than that, he didn't say anything else. "

Yue Qian nodded in understanding. "This time, our Southern Mountain is hosting the Martial Arts Competition. If Elder Jiang comes, he will be an honored guest. We naturally have to prioritize his safety."

Situ Bai hesitated for a moment, then said, "I saw in Elder Jiang's letter to Father that you were to be the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and Father didn't seem to have any intention of refusing. Eldest Martial Brother, what do you plan to do …"

Yue Qian stared blankly for a moment before replying calmly, "Regarding marriage, Master wouldn't reveal his intention to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang Family without asking for my opinion. It won't be too late to discuss this matter when I return. Moreover, the Lingxi Zither Music Score is a sound attack secret manual. It has no benefit to our Sword Faction. If we take it, not only will it be a treasure covered in dust, it will also cause trouble. However, there are many talents of the right age in the Sanskrit Pavilion that can match her. Taking a step back, if Elder Jiang doesn't trust others and wants to entrust his granddaughter to Master, don't we still have you, Junior Martial Brother? "

"Senior Martial Brother, don't harm me. If Yu Niang finds out, it won't be good!"

"Didn't Miss Qin always look down on you? I only left the mountain for two months and you've already grown so much that she changed her mind?"

"Haha, sincerity can move metal and stone. If she doesn't agree now, it doesn't mean she won't agree in the future."

"If you put this willpower into your swordsmanship, Master won't always punish you."

"Senior Martial Brother, please spare me …"

The two martial brothers talked and laughed very easily. When Yue Qian returned to his room, the smile in his eyes didn't fade. Gou Liang raised his head from his embroidery. Seeing this, he was slightly startled. Then he smiled and said, "The relationship between you martial brothers is really good."

"Growing up together, of course."

It could be said that it was because of him that the four martial brothers were so close.

When Yue Qian was brought into the sect, he was only two years old. He had just reached the age where he could wield a small wooden sword.

His master was only in charge of teaching and was very clumsy when it came to taking care of people. His master's wife was weak and couldn't do everything herself. Yue Qian didn't like to get close to others. Later, he took in three disciples and arranged for the four of them to live together. Only then did the situation improve.

Yue Qian was practically brought up by his Junior Brothers and Sisters. When Situ Bai was ten years old, he would often look down on Yue Qian, the Eldest Senior Brother, saying that he raised Yue Qian with his own hands and had the intention of treating Yue Qian as his younger brother or even his son. Later, he was beaten to tears several times by the talented Yue Qian. Only then did he learn to be obedient.

His memories of childhood friends were filled with warmth. It was the opposite of the original owner.

Ye Gui's childhood was filled with constant fighting with his companions to fight for a chance to live. He endured through these dark years.

Gou Liang stood up and put away his needles. He lightly said, "Is that so? But I know that growing up together can also be life and death enemies."

"Brother Ye, you … …"

Yue Qian was startled by the coldness in his eyes. Gou Liang smiled and interrupted his questioning, "Come here."

Yue Qian heard this and suddenly had a bad premonition. But Gou Liang didn't chase him away this time. Instead, he handed him the clothes he had just taken from the embroidery rack, "Try it on and see if it fits."

"For, for me?"

Yue Qian was surprised and happy. He didn't dare believe it.

Gou Liang raised his eyebrows, "What, you don't want it?"

"I want it, of course I want it!"

Yue Qian snatched it in his hands as if he had received a treasure. He was afraid that he would go back on his word, but he didn't think that he was worrying too much. Not only did Gou Liang embroider a robe for him, he even prepared shoes, socks, and a belt.

Yue Qian had seen Gou Liang embroidering this dragon and phoenix embroidered robe with black as the main color. He thought that he was tired of wearing red and wanted to change it to something new. He never thought that it was for him. After Yue Qian put it on, he unconsciously straightened his chest and felt that he had become much lighter. He looked down at Gou Liang who was bending over to help him tie his belt. For a moment, he felt his palms sweat.

"How is it?"

He smiled at Gou Liang, showing his signature elegance.

Gou Liang frowned, pinched his face, and said in disgust, "Don't smile, it's so ugly."

Yue Qian's smiling face froze. The smile that had been on his face for many years, and had almost become a mask, gradually weathered, revealing his true self.

Proud, aloof, indifferent, deep.

He quietly looked at Gou Liang, revealing a gentleness that contradicted his temperament. He didn't even realize that he was moved.

This version of him was simply … too handsome.

Gou Liang's heart beat faster. His face was a little red. He coughed softly and said, "Black suits you."

"Really? Unfortunately, it doesn't suit the chief disciple of the South Mountain Sword Sect."

Yue Qian smiled and fondled the cuffs with hidden gold embroidery.

Since he left home when he was young, he had been accompanied by a sword. He was almost one with the sword. No matter how much blood it was stained with, it was still cold and sharp.

He was too precocious, so he was not destined to have the same thoughts as his peers. Those simple pleasures were tasteless to him. Back then, when he had created his first move and comprehended his first sword intent, his master had been deeply worried. Because his sword was too ruthless, too calm, too sharp. It was clearly not stained with blood, but it was already full of hostility.

In order to correct his character, his master and mistress spent a lot of time and effort. It took many years for him to talk and laugh freely and learn to be happy.

He was now used to wearing white, with a folding fan that was completely incompatible with a swordsman's style. It was his mistress's proud work.

She said that he had all the dissolute attitudes of the world's young men.

Later, she died of illness not long after giving birth to Situ Shuang. She was most worried about Yue Qian when she was alive.

Yue Qian did not want her to be worried about him in the underworld. He had always cooperated with his master and mistress's plan to shape his image. After a long time, no matter how he was on the inside, his outer edges had been polished smooth. He became the "Southern Sword Yue Qian, Upright as Jade" of today.

At this time, he was exposed in front of Gou Liang. He was a little nervous. The reflection of himself in Gou Liang's eyes became very strange. Fortunately, Gou Liang did not hide his admiration and satisfaction, which calmed Yue Qian's discomfort.

Gou Liang admired for a while. It was only when Jiang Su Xi was about to enter the guest courtyard that he withdrew his gaze and changed his clothes.

Dressed neatly, he raised his arm and twirled it around. He smiled at Yue Qian. "Do I look good?"

Yue Qian's Adam's apple rolled a few times before he found his voice. He looked away and said, "Very good."

Gou Liang walked in front of him. "Then why don't you look at me?"

Yue Qian's ears turned red and dyed his entire face red. It spread down his neck, and his palms were wet with sweat.

It was not that he did not want to look, but he did not dare to look. He never thought that there would be a day when a man would make him feel infatuated. It was too difficult to say. Yue Qian was at a loss. Fortunately, Situ Bai helped him out. "Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Sister Jiang is here to invite you and … cough cough, Miss Ye, have you rested well."

Yue Qian hurriedly responded.

Tang Nuo and his senior martial brother, who had already prepared for the banquet, whispered, "I don't know what our Brother Wudi is doing in the room with Miss Ye. Junior Martial Sister Jiang shouted so many times outside, but they did not respond."

Yue Qian pushed open the door and walked out. He and Gou Liang stepped into everyone's line of sight one after another. Tang Nuo's voice suddenly stopped. He opened his eyes wide and took in a light breath.

Yue Qian was dressed in a black robe with narrow sleeves. His posture was tall and straight, and his temperament was domineering. He had a red belt around his waist. In front of him was an embroidered pattern of a golden dragon soaring with auspicious clouds. Behind him was a phoenix's wings and tail feathers.

Gou Liang, on the other hand, was dressed in a wide-sleeved red long dress. His waist was slim and beautiful, and his appearance was like a noble peony. He was breathtakingly beautiful without any rouge. He had a black belt around his waist. In front of him was an embroidered pattern of a phoenix with its head held high and its wings spread out. Behind him was an embroidered pattern of a dragon and a phoenix circling around Yue Qian's neck.

The embroidery was vivid and lifelike. It was so gorgeous that it made people gasp in amazement.

They stood together with an invisible tacit understanding. They looked at each other and smiled. There was no room for a third person to interfere.

They were a match made in heaven.

Zhu Fengyi was the first to regain his senses. He looked at He Cong, Tang Nuo, and Situ Bai, who were stunned to the point of being absent-minded. He then looked at Jiang Su Xi, who previously had the intention to compete, but now had completely lost her fighting spirit. She was only staring at the two sets of clothes in a daze …

He sighed inwardly. Today, I will know what it means to fight without shedding blood.
