Chapter 371 - 186: Jiang Yiyi
However, very quickly, Ye Xingming’s face lit up with delight, "The aura of that sword light, it seems to be Senior Brother!"
"What? Where?" Jiang Yiyi immediately sprang up like a flash.
Before she finished speaking, a streak of green sword light swiftly approached, coming to a steady halt before everyone. It was indeed a young man, with a handsome and refined appearance, dressed in a green Taoist robe.
"Chu Xuan! Boo hoo hoo, I missed you so much."
Before anyone else could speak, Jiang Yiyi rushed into the man’s arms and started crying aggrievedly.
Chu Xuan quickly comforted her warmly.
Ye Xingming seized this opportunity to subtly put some distance between himself and the female cultivator beside him.
This made the woman bite her lip, looking at him with a slight hint of resentment in her eyes.
"What’s wrong, did someone bully you?" Chu Xuan felt a deep joy every time he saw Jiang Yiyi, especially after a long separation, so he naturally couldn’t stand to see her cry.
"Boo hoo, no, but, but those old men, those old turtles, they tricked me, tricked me so badly..."
Jiang Yiyi sobbed and babbled about how the elders like Fu Yunzi deceived her, not telling her about the natural calamity.
Then she started complaining about how difficult it has been for her to come down from the mountain to save the world, not eating or sleeping well, constantly on the move and so forth.
Chu Xuan listened, nodding continuously, while praising her, "You are amazing, Master Ancestor. You’ve saved so many beings, whether human race, demon race, or plants and insects. They would surely silently appreciate your kindness."
Only then did Jiang Yiyi smile brightly, waving her hand, "Most beings don’t know it, only a small handful of people are aware of my achievements."
"But I know. You came to save the world, what if you never return?"
"Then never return!" Jiang Yiyi immediately responded with righteousness, thoroughly satisfied with her own zeal.
Chu Xuan chuckled, patting her head, "But I would miss you~"
Jiang Yiyi playfully stuck out her tongue. The intimate interaction between the two left the other disciples around them dumbfounded. Was this really a relationship between a senior and a junior?
"Oh, right, let me tell you a secret..."
Jiang Yiyi whispered in Chu Xuan’s ear while sneaking a glance at the little junior brother and the green-robed female cultivator, gossiping about the two, making Ye Xingming blush and feel utterly embarrassed.
The female cultivator also bowed her head low, unsure of where to put her hands. She even secretly transmitted to Ye Xingming, "Can you go up and stop her??"
Ye Xingming pretended not to hear, otherwise, with Master Ancestor’s personality, she would surely blow things up even more.
Chu Xuan looked at these two with an understanding look, smiling as he glanced at Ye Xingming, "Little junior brother, what advice did you give me before?"
"Women are like floods and beasts; we cultivators should keep our distance from them?"
"Oh, and I am a man of destiny, born to save this world, romances for me are no different from skeletons!"
Chu Xuan deliberately delivered this last sentence in a particularly dramatic and impassioned manner.
The little junior brother’s face turned beet red, while Jiang Yiyi laughed heartily, doubling over. The rest of the people looked at Ye Xingming in astonishment, and even the female cultivator seemed surprised.
"Senior Brother!" Ye Xingming quickly interjected, "That was ages ago, matters as old as moldy sesame seeds and rotten grains, no need to bring them up."
Chu Xuan then nodded with a smile, "Just joking with my junior brother, hope you all don’t mind."
Only then did Ye Xingming heave a sigh of relief, and the others also nodded.
Chu Xuan felt quite gratified about this; from the looks of things, his junior brother had finally met a girl who moved his heart...
