The paper crane belonging to the former master's contact information flew in from the window and hovered between Jiang Xuehe and Tiying, not knowing who to turn to.
This seems to indicate that Jiang Xuehe is really her senior brother.
Tiying, who had always had a poor memory, now vaguely recalled that her former master seemed to have indeed talked about her senior brother when he put her to sleep -
But it was just a mention.
How could Tiying believe that Jiang Xuehe would not harm his own senior brother because of his one-sided words?
So, Tiying said with a straight face: "Yes to the code."
Jiang Xuehe raised his eyebrows.
I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but the senior brother's appearance had changed - his eyebrows moved slightly, and he had the beauty of a frightened butterfly skimming the water, or the spring snow melting into the mountains.
Jiang Xuehe's voice was still hoarse as before: "Okay."
Tiying's voice was delicate and crisp: "Sect."
Jiang Xuehe: "Qianshan Sect."
Ti Ying: "Direction."
Jiang Xuehe: "The border between Dongzhou and Zhongzhou."
Tiying: "What was the name of the former master?"
Jiang Xuehe: "Lin Qingyang."
Tiying: "Second Senior Brother..."
Jiang Xuehe said warmly: "Bailu Ye."
Tiying looked into his eyes, always slightly distracted.
She didn't know whether she was distracted by his vivid brows, or whether she was thinking of a strange dream... In short, her heart was beating a little fast, and her face was a little hot. While she was in a trance, Jiang Xuehe waited for her patiently, and Tiying came to her senses. , feeling even more uncomfortable.
Tiying thought: What's so great. Those bad guys who are chasing me don’t know what my sect is, what my master is, and what my brothers are called...
Her displeasure was written on her face.
Jiang Xuehe reached out and put the three silver needles that he had taken away from her hand back into her hand.
Tiying looked up at him stupidly, Jiang Xuehe leaned over and continued to coax: "I also know that your name is 'Xiaoying'. You are now... fourteen and a half years old, right?"
Tiying said sullenly: "That's not right!"
She lowered her head and counted her fingers: "It's two months older than fourteen and a half years old."
Jiang Xuehe was startled, and then said: "Senior brother, I remember."
But why did he remember this?
There was a moment of silence between the two of them.
How could Tiying endure such silence?
She didn't remain reserved for long before she blinked and said, "I have left the sect. My former master and I have agreed that I want to join a new sect... You are no longer my senior brother."
Jiang Xuehe was prepared: "Master has already told me that no matter where you go, if you call me 'senior brother', I will protect you. I wonder if you would like to call me senior brother?"
Tiying's eyes were filled with light like jade water, bright, dazzling and clear.
She pretended not to hear what he said, turned her face away, lowered her head and quickly hid the needle in her hand. She put her hands on her heart and turned slightly sideways, an avoidant and shy movement.
And even though she was like this, she still couldn't hide her joy——
Tiying: "Are you really my senior brother? Are you also implicated by us and being hunted? Why, how come you have..."
While she was making gestures, she was suddenly stunned and found that the scars on Jiang Xuehe's face were gone. Those scars were buried in his neck, swept into his collar, and did not reach his chin...
Tiying was stunned.
When she was confused, Jiang Xuehe saw that she was no longer defensive about him, so he took her in his arms, took her away from the corner, and asked her to sit down.
Jiang Xuehe chose something he could say: "Are you asking about the 'Cultura that will destroy the tattooed people in all directions' on me?"
Tiying was shocked: He really knew this curse!
Jiang Xuehe's attitude was calm: "This is a curse I cast on myself."
Tiying: "?"
She was scared to death of the tattoo curse, and someone else took the initiative to cast a curse on her? Are you sick?
Jiang Xuehe was probably amused by her expression.
This senior brother, who was gentle but rarely smiled, smiled at this moment.
He told Tiying——
"I was not a good person before. I would do any heinous thing as long as someone asked me to do it."
Tiying was confused: "What is that? A killer?"
The candle flame was dim, Tiying raised her head and looked at her senior brother. The senior brother told her a story, while she secretly blinked and compared the current senior brother with what she had seen before when she secretly raised her hood.
She was absent-minded, and Jiang Xuehe's words flowed slowly past her ears like water containing sand.
Jiang Xuehe told her that he used to belong to an organization and did a lot of bad things, did a lot of business, and killed a lot of creatures. There was no future in such a life, and he didn't feel there was anything right about it.
But one day, he realized he was living in a hell. He didn't want to do that again, he wanted to save himself.
Jiang Xuehe recalled: "I heard the formation of the Tattoo Mantra from my master. It has always been easy for me to explore and learn anything, so I gave myself the Mantra to Destroy the Tattoo Man in Ten Directions——
"All my vitality and precious things are sealed. I bear the sins I have done to pay for the sins I have committed.
"This time I came to Wudu Forest to look for Suiyu... On the one hand, it was for my junior sister, and on the other hand, it was the sins on my body that led me to come here to kill Suiyu and avenge those who had been killed by Acidu.
"I cast the tattoo curse on myself. Every time I appease the injustice of one person, part of the curse will be unlocked. I have unlocked a lot of them over the years..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuehe was in a good mood.
He bent his eyes: "I once thought that after I had solved all the spells and recovered my true self, I would go back to Qianshan to see Master and the little junior sister that Master has been talking about. Unexpectedly, …”
He lowered his eyes and looked at Tiying with gentle eyes.
Unexpectedly, before he could go back, his junior sister had already walked across thousands of mountains and ridges and came to him.
Afraid that he would find her distracted and peeking at his face, Tiying didn't hear what he was talking about, so she interrupted him:
"Then if you were not a good person before, why did you suddenly wake up one day? There must be some opportunity."
Jiang Xuehe's eyes flashed.
He said warmly: "My luck is meeting Master...and you."
Tiying was stunned.
--
She looked up at him blankly.
Perhaps it was true, as he said, that he was not a good person before, so he always had a confusing sense of being too tolerant and blurring the boundaries between good and bad.
He seems to know everything and can do everything.
He can observe words and expressions, he can coax himself, and his words are as sweet as honey...
He is like the clean and moist snow between heaven and earth.
Perfect and false.
But Ti Ying eats this way——
She is too childish, too domineering, willful and self-centered. She likes to be coaxed, and enjoyment is the most important thing.
--
Jiang Xuehe was still thinking of ways to make her believe in him, when he saw Tiying opening her arms and smiling.
She coquettishly asked him to hug her: "Senior brother!"
This "Senior Brother" is so well-called and sincere.
With the warm little girl in his arms, Jiang Xuehe had a slightly complicated mood: the junior sister is really too "willful".
--
In the Yujing Sect, after the uninvited guests left at night, the five elders discussed the matter of the four sects joining forces to organize a disciple selection competition.
And compared to choosing a disciple, what is probably more serious is that the arrival of the other three major sects may affect the selection of the next leader of the Yujing Sect.
If you are not careful, Yujingmen will become a puppet of his faction.
Elder Hua was worried about this, and Elder Ge next to him said slowly: "I think this is not a bad thing. Yujing Sect has been behind closed doors for many years, and there is nothing wrong with communicating with other sects."
Elder Chen was angry: "You say that because your daughter married into Changyun Temple. If Changyun Temple supports you, it will be easy for you to be elected as the head teacher, right?"
Elder Ge caused trouble: "Junior Brother Shen has a good relationship with the chief disciple of this generation in Guantian Mountain, didn't he? Didn't the chief disciple of Guantian Mountain come just now? I think he and Junior Brother Shen are blushing and pale, and they work well together." Guan Tianshan may support Junior Brother Shen as the head coach."
He was talking about the person who persuaded everyone not to quarrel just now, that was Hang Guqiu, the chief disciple of Guantian Mountain.
Hearing Elder Ge's remarks, Shen Xingchuan calmed down and said nothing;
His sister Shen Yushu laughed: "Brother has been in seclusion for several months, and I just met Senior Brother Hang for the first time tonight. If these senior brothers have any thoughts in their minds, there is no need to bite my senior brother. In my opinion-"
Her beautiful eyebrows fell on several points of the Big Dipper Formation in the hall. The moonlight shines in from the skylight, and the figures of several elders are looming in the formation, a bit ghostly.
Shen Yushu said softly: "Maybe the Wushen Palace also supports one of our elders, but none of us will admit it."
The expressions of several elders changed, but they did not speak.
So far, the four major immortal gates, Yujing Gate, Wushen Palace, Changyun Temple, and Guantian Mountain, have glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.
While several people were silent, Elder Hua said: "Forget it, what's more important now is the disciple selection. It would be best if we could have an idea of the entry disciples of this class before those sects arrive - Junior Brother Shen, You are in charge of the disciple selection this year, right? You have to be prepared and not let other sects steal your good talents."
Shen Xingchuan nodded.
After a few people communicated, their figures gradually dimmed and they left.
Elder Hua was sitting alone in the hall, thinking tiredly, when Hua Shi broke in from outside: "Dad, are there any uninvited guests..."
Elder Hua spoke up and lectured: "What does it look like? What does it have to do with you? You should prepare well for this year's disciple selection exam. It's time for you to officially become a disciple!"
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, then didn't care: "What's there to prepare for? If I end up, I will definitely be the chief of this term... Dad, when I enter the inner sect, I will become my master to Uncle Shen, you promised me. "
Elder Hua teased his daughter: "You, Uncle Shen, are a genius. If you want to accept a disciple, you will only accept the number one disciple. Are you really confident?"
Hua Shi is proud: "Naturally——"
She stopped suddenly, thinking of the hooded boy she fought against in the Five Poison Forest.
Hua Shi lowered her eyes, her eyes dark: Could that person just be here to become a disciple?
no.
No one can take away her position as senior sister.
--
In the inn, Jiang Xuehe coaxed Tiying for a long time.
Because Tiying slept a lot during the day and had a new senior brother, she was extremely excited and refused to go to sleep.
Tiying clung to Jiang Xuehe to see what was in the large bag of things on the back of her former master's paper crane.
Jiang Xuehe took out the contents of the bag one by one and laid them out for her to see.
He read her the Master's letter - nothing more than platitudes about caring for her.
Tiying was excited: "What else is there? Are there no other gifts?"
Tiying also asked: "Tell me your story again."
Jiang Xuehe took his time.
He did as she asked and turned his back to look for something novel to entertain the child with. When he turned his back, a ray of light flew out of the bag and flew into Tiying's sea of consciousness.
Jiang Xuehe noticed it instantly. When he turned around to check, he was stunned——
Jiang Xuehe lost his voice: "Junior sister!"
Before he could blink, his little badass junior sister was already lying on the bed, tearing the master's letter into small pieces of paper and playing with them.
The bed was covered with piles of paper.
When Jiang Xuehe turned around, he happened to see her picking and spelling out crooked words from a pile of papers——
"Senior brother only loves babies."
Jiang Xuehe: "..."
Tiying held her chin up and pretended to be stupid: "What's wrong? I'm reading a letter!"
Jiang Xuehe thought to himself: You don't just pick out the words you like and read them randomly, right?
Is it possible to read a letter like this?
