Fang Yun slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Xu San's face that was half surprised and half proud.
"Did I succeed?" Fang Yun asked pretending to be confused.
Xu San ignored him, turned around, and said to Jun Luo with a flattering face: "Immortal, he's awake. It seems he's fine."
Jun Luo said a cold "hmm", then bypassed Xu San, went straight to Fang Yun and said kindly: "Junior brother, how do you feel?"
Xu San, who was left out, was not unhappy at all. He stood quietly aside, without any disturbance, and even his breathing became much softer. Seeing Jun Luo's genuine concern for Fang Yun, like an old father, his eyes were filled with relief and peace of mind.
When Fang Yun saw the "immortal" not long ago, he was standing in front of him now, still looking concerned. He hurriedly struggled to get up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Immortal. I'm fine, kid."
As he spoke, he rubbed his slightly swollen face, straightened his clothes, and saluted Jun Luo.
Jun Luo turned slightly sideways, pretending to be displeased and said: "Since you have succeeded in attracting spirits, you can call me senior brother. What do you mean by saying that immortals are not immortals?"
Fang Yun was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Jun Luo was a pompous person and he should be used to being praised by others, but he didn't expect that he had such an approachable attitude now.
He just treats the secular world and the cultivation world differently... Fang Yun made a judgment in his heart.
"Then I'll be brave."
Fang Yun took a deep breath, saluted again, and said: "Junior Brother Fang Yun, I have met Senior Brother Jun, please take care of me in the future."
Jun Luo waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "Junior brother, there is no need to be polite. We don't have so many rules."
"This is still necessary. After all, senior brother has given me the kindness of knowing me. I will remember this kindness for the next five years. If I am asked to do something in the future, no one dares to disobey me!"
Fang Yun's words were precise and sincere, and his facial expression was extremely solemn. Everyone who saw him had to say something.
This kid insists on getting it!
But Jun Luo smiled and said: "Junior brother, you can rest assured. The brothers and sisters in Lingyang Sect are as close as one family. There are not so many intrigues in the world."
Fang Yun seemed not to hear the implication of Jun Luo's words. He saluted again and said happily: "Thank you, senior brother!"
Jun Luo shook his head, a little helpless, but he understood everything. Although he likes to pretend, how can he be a person who is ignorant of the world?
People will always have some worries and fears about the future that they cannot see clearly, and then they will subconsciously hold something, or try their best to pull someone beside them, in order to find peace of mind.
Is this human nature, let alone a child?
He did not continue to dwell on this topic, and instead said: "Since you have nothing to do, junior brother, just pack up and follow me to the sect. We have been delayed all night, and we are too late. I’m going to be scolded.”
Fang Yun nodded, then looked around. There was only a bed, a desk, a chair, a knife and a few clothes in the house.
Although the furnishings in the house were extremely simple and even looked a bit empty and deserted, this was his first home after all. He suddenly said that he wanted to leave, which made him feel a little reluctant to leave.
He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I have nothing to deal with. I can leave at any time."
As he said that, he glanced at the somewhat disappointed Xu San, took a deep breath, seemed to have made a difficult decision, and then suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground:
"Senior brother, before I leave, I have a heartfelt request."
Because of the angle, Xu San did not see Fang Yun's glance. So he was startled by Fang Yun's sudden movement, and felt very anxious and uneasy.
You haven't gotten used to it yet, you just come here, aren't you afraid that the little good impression you left on the other party will be gone in an instant? If the other person is petty, it will even leave an impression of ignorance, which is a very fatal thing.
Xu San didn't know, but Jun Luo, who had been practicing for many years, saw Fang Yun's little moves, and he already had a guess in his mind.
He pretended to be surprised and said: "Junior brother, you get up first. If you have anything to do, tell me. I will definitely do whatever I can do!"
Fang Yun: "Junior brother wants to ask senior brother to borrow a treasure. I dare not promise anything at this time, but Fang Yun will definitely pay off in the future."
After saying that, he buried his head deeply.
Jun Luo pondered for a while and said: "It just so happens that I have a piece of Qingyun Warm Jade here. When worn on the body, it will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. It can also warm and nourish the body and prolong life."
"I don't have any use for it now, so I'll give it to you as a meeting gift."
As soon as Fang Yun heard what Jun Luo said about the treasure, he knew that he understood what he was thinking. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's convenient to talk to smart people...
Then he said with great joy: "Thank you so much, senior brother!"
"No need to be so polite, just take it."
With that said, he generously handed a palm-sized jade pendant to Fang Yun.
This jade pendant is overall cyan, and the jade is clear without any impurities. Two small clouds are engraved on both sides of the jade pendant. The moment I took it, I felt an inexplicable energy passing through my whole body, and I instantly felt a lot warmer.
Originally I just wanted to ask for a pill or something, but instead I directly took out a piece of jade. Feeling the extraordinary quality of the jade pendant in his hand, Fang Yun opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Sometimes too much verbal expression seems a little false. Not a word is spoken, but it is remembered in the heart.
Fang Yun walked up to Xu San and knelt down on his knees: "General, you saved my life; I cannot be where I am today without your efforts; your love for me is known to the entire Shitan City. , I know it too!”
"Originally, I was supposed to go to the royal capital, then enter the military camp, create a world for you, give you a good face, and provide you with a good life. But now, I have disappointed you..."
"Uncle Xu, the child is unfilial, I..."
Fang Yun choked and couldn't speak, but held the jade pendant in his hand as high as possible.
When we first met, you dared to ask him to borrow a treasure, risking offending someone you couldn't offend, just to give him a gift?
Even Xu San, who was used to seeing life and death, had tears in his eyes at this moment, full of emotion and relief. If you have a "son" like this, what else can you ask for?
Without being pretentious, he picked up the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hand.
When a wanderer goes out, all the gifts are guilt.
Don't answer?
That can make the other person feel guilty for a lifetime.
"You brat, you've already given me a lot of face. From now on, you have to be good..."
Xu San said, turned and knelt down in the direction of Jun Luo, and said, "I also ask the Immortal to take good care of my boy in the future."
Jun Luo hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu San up with both hands: "Don't worry, this kid is affectionate and righteous. I will do it if you don't tell me."
The previous neglect was the difference between immortals and mortals that Jun Luo had always upheld. The reason why I treat you politely now is because this is my little junior brother’s benefactor and relative.
After all, Fang Yun's previous eloquence seemed to Jun Luo to be just cleverness and intrigues in the mortal world. Now, Fang Yun's image of attaching great importance to love and justice, and repaying kindness has been deeply rooted in his heart.
Such a person deserves his love.
And all this, is Fang Yun acting?
At least not pure!
When entering an unfamiliar environment, leaving an excellent impression on the first person you meet can save you many detours in the future.
Even if that person is of low status!
What's more, Jun Luo's status is definitely not low, at least in Fang Yun's generation.
But to say it's all acting, that's not entirely true.
At least what Fang Yun said to Xu San came from the bottom of his heart. Because Xu San's kindness to Fang Yun cannot be avoided, no matter in his past life or in his previous life.
After Xu San got up, the three of them didn't speak. The atmosphere of parting always made it difficult for people to speak.
In the end, Jun Luo had to speak out: "Junior brother, it's getting late, let's go."
Fang Yun nodded and followed Jun Luo towards the door.
When he reached the door, Fang Yun stopped and said, "Uncle Xu, I put the things I promised you on the bedside..."
"I'm leaving, and you have to be well."
After that, he left without looking back.
Parting is cruel and quiet. Fang Yun did not say goodbye to his friends in the city and those who had helped him. I don’t dare and I don’t have to. He believed that Xu San would remember these.
Xu San stood at the door without saying anything. He just stared blankly at Fang Yun stepping on Jun Luo's flying sword, watching them disappear into the sky, and watching the direction in which they disappeared...
Like a sculpture.
After a long time, he slowly turned around and took out the package that Fang Yun left on the bedside.
There are only three books in it: "Tai Chi", "Tai Chi Sword" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
