Chapter 108 2 What if love is mutual?
"Cang Jie is fine, don't worry. I received a letter from my elder brother yesterday, saying that Hua Qi went to Sanshou to participate in the selection of Lingsuyuan. He is thousands of miles away and is worried that the child will get into trouble when he first enters the human race, so he asked me to take good care of him here.
Didn't Hongying also participate in this year's Lingsuyuan selection? I think I should let her keep an eye on Huaqi for now!
But she tends to act impulsively, so after I have dealt with the affairs of the sect, it would be better for me to go to Sanshou in person."
As he spoke, Ye Zhan picked up the paper sparrow on the table and placed it in the palm of his hand. A few seconds later, the paper sparrow made of spiritual energy flapped its wings, and with a "swish" it flew up with the wind and floated in the air.
Ye Zhan looked at the paper sparrow that gradually disappeared from his sight, while Shen Xing beside him turned his head to look at him who was still in a daze.
"You are so concerned about your eldest brother's instructions, but you pretend to be indifferent on weekdays. He is now the only relative you can talk to. I rarely see you take the initiative to visit him...
A few years ago, when many disciples of our sect were poisoned by the spirit spider, and the Butterfly Feather Clan specially sent "Qiong Honey" to them, Master Geng actually asked me privately how Cang Jie was related to the Butterfly Feather Clan.
Now in Beiyuan, only the older people know your situation, and there are still a few young people who know the relationship between you two brothers!"
Noticing the angry expression on Shen Xing's face, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch the other's slightly red left cheek.
"Isn't this good? He won't be in trouble because of the Cang Jie issue.
My eldest brother is different from me. He has a wife and a son. It is enough to know that he is living a good life now.
After all, he and I both have unresolved knots in our hearts, and meeting each other would only increase the sadness.
We have been brothers for many years, and you will understand me."
The smile on his face was bitter. After saying this, Ye Zhan was unwilling to explain any more.
"Even so, I can still see my family occasionally during the holidays!
Even if you can't see your eldest brother, you can still see your eldest nephew!
No matter how far the distance is, our hearts cannot be far apart. "
Just as he finished speaking, Shen Xing saw a small piece of white paper stuck behind his ear. It must have been accidentally obtained when he was making paper sparrows.
"Hahahaha!! What an idiot!
You are already the head of the sect, how come you can't even take care of yourself? "
He laughed and complained while stretching out his right hand to remove the paper scraps.
Before Ye Zhan could react, the fingertips with body temperature accidentally touched his slightly sensitive earlobe.
When their eyes met, Shen Xing felt an indescribable emotion that made him speechless.
His heart paused slightly, as if he realized something. His fingers, which were about to be pulled away, suddenly stopped and trembled slightly.
He looked intently at Ye Zhan's dark and deep eyes. These eyes had been deeply imprinted in his heart since the first time he saw them.
His fingertips could not help but gently stroke Ye Zhan's entire earlobe. The strands of blue hair beside his ear swayed slowly in the breeze, just like his heart at the moment...
Faced with Shen Xing's sudden serious behavior, Ye Zhan, who was used to his usual bad words and nonsense, was stunned and at a loss.
After becoming the head of the sect, he always felt that there was an invisible barrier between him and Shen Xing. He rarely had the opportunity to spend quiet time with Shen Xing like this.
Ye Zhan knew very well that Shen Xing was very important to him. He was a close friend and even more like a family member, but...
At this moment, Ye Zhan remembered something, but when facing Shen Xing, he hesitated and didn't know how to start.
"...When I went to the Imperial City two days ago, Master Shen came to see me..."
Hearing the words "Master Shen", Shen Xing's eyes suddenly became clearer. Realizing his own abnormality, he slowly put down his right hand.
"That old man again?
He will definitely be nagging me to meet some girl who is waiting to get married! He doesn't even feel tired! "
Feeling his fingers leaving, Ye Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little empty in his heart...
“After all, Master Shen is your father, and his health is getting worse. He has been holding on until now just to see you get married and have children. Although cultivators have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people, you can still wait, but he is already over 140 years old, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to wait any longer.
You might as well hand over the trivial affairs of the Cangjie Sect to Zhang He for the time being. He has been trained very well by you, so it is a good opportunity for him to train himself. You also have the chance to go home and have a good rest for a while.
Besides...if I can really meet the right woman, it would be a blessing..."
It would have been fine if I just wanted Shen Xing to go home and accompany his father!
Ye Zhan, ah Ye Zhan! He should never, ever, say the last sentence that ignited the explosives.
"Oh?! Master Ye! Are you chasing me away?!"
Looking at Ye Zhan who had become uneasy with an unhappy look on his face, Shen Xing's displeasure had completely spread across his face.
"Ah!!! I, how could I?!
But you have to get married! Why do you have to be so unreasonable and go against your parents' wishes? ..."
As if he had not expected him to say this to himself, Shen Xing was stunned, his lips slightly opened but no sound came out. After a while, he reacted and spoke.
"Why?? Making trouble for no reason??
You actually asked me?!
...When Master was alive, he always said that you were always bullied by me. This is the most unconvincing thing he has ever said."
The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly burst out. He raised his palm and punched with spiritual power, but stopped when he was about to hit Ye Zhan.
[Ah... I am such a loser! ]
"Ye Zhan! You are not only an idiot, but also a bastard!!!"
Just at this moment, Zhang He rushed in from outside the door, shouting.
"Protector Shen! Protector Shen!"
Seeing Ye Zhan was also in the room, Zhang He immediately lowered his voice and became more respectful.
"The master is here too! The disciples are waiting outside for the two of you to come out and have a welcoming banquet!
Now that’s good, Protector Shen is finally back!
The guardian doesn't know about these days. Cangjie really can't do without you!"
Complaining about the predicament that Cangjie had been in these days without a guardian, Zhang He's arrival completely destroyed what Ye Zhan had just said.
Knowing that he had lied was like adding fuel to the fire. Shen Xing's mood became even worse. He snorted coldly at Ye Zhan, swallowed the words he had originally wanted to say to him, turned around and fiercely pushed away Zhang He, who was covering his head and unaware of the situation.
"Go away!! I'm so angry!!!"
While venting his anger, Shen Xing waved his sleeves and walked out without looking back.
Looking at Shen Xing's departing back with a bewildered look on his face, Zhang He then looked at Sect Leader Ye with dim eyes in confusion.
"Hey! Guardian Shen... him? What happened to him?"
