Chapter 527 Always, always, it was him.
Seeing that she had the upper hand, Jiang Jiang quickly gathered her skirt and ran towards the teleportation array. In a flash of white light, her figure disappeared from Cao Xian's fierce gaze.
She rushed back to the yard, leaned against a big tree, and gasped for breath, secretly hoping that she would never run into those lunatics again.
Her mind was a jumbled mess, and it wasn't until her brother called her name that she suddenly realized she had worked all day and fought with a group of people, and was in a disheveled state, which must have worried her brother.
"I..." She was about to explain why she was late when Yunfeng looked at her and gently shook his head.
He walked over to us, his sickly face full of pity.
Despite being a person as pure and gentle as a breeze and the bright moon, his cold, white fingers gently wiped away the marks on her face without the slightest hint of disgust.
No need for words, she only needs to stand there, and he will know what she is thinking.
Jiang Jiang couldn't help but look into his eyes. For a moment, she felt that her brother wasn't looking at her as she was now, but at someone else, someone she knew nothing about, someone exactly like her.
That person was definitely not his sister.
His gaze was so complex, so trembling, so pure, so burning.
It's like a bittersweet breeze gently blowing through the swaying bamboo shadows.
It has traversed the long, ancient times.
Jiang Jiang told him about planting the Nine-Nine Grass, and Yun Feng was very supportive, saying he could help. Jiang Jiang wanted to firmly refuse, but Yun Feng had his own principles, so she had no choice but to assign him the task of watering the Nine-Nine Grass.
After washing away the filth, Jiang Jiang sat under the moonlight, enjoying the breeze. Yun Feng stood behind her, combing her wet hair again and again, wiping the moisture from her hair with a clean white handkerchief as he did so.
Jiang Jiang looked up at the moonlight and asked Yun Feng behind her, "Brother, once you're cured, will you go to the outer sect, or will you try your best to squeeze into the inner sect?"
Yunfeng was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Does Jiang'er want her brother to leave you?"
Jiang Jiang shook her head, then nodded.
"I want my brother to stay with me, but I hope even more that he can have a better future, like those powerful senior brothers and sisters, roaming the world, slaying demons and monsters, and becoming an immortal."
Yunfeng's fingertips trembled slightly as he gazed at the waterfall of black hair beneath the comb, feeling a pang of sorrow and desolation in his heart.
He was willing to do anything for her, but this was the one thing she was hoping for that he simply couldn't fulfill.
He is who he is.
He is not himself.
His appearance was destined to be nothing more than a fleeting, unintentional glance in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.
"It's all dried. It's chilly at night, go back to your room and go to sleep."
"Yes! Brother, you should go back soon too!"
"……it is good."
-
These past few days, Jiang Jiang has been getting up half an hour earlier than usual to turn over the soil in all the places in the yard where she could plant the Nine-Nine Grass, then sowed the grass seeds, and then, as the little note said, covered the top with the dung of the Thunderhorn Horse.
The 'Jiujiu Grass' is indeed growing very well; it's almost fully grown in just seven or eight days!
She was in a particularly good mood, and for the past few days she had been humming a little tune while working, beaming with joy.
She was on the Miscellaneous Peak, where a senior sister from another peak had always taken good care of her. When she first started out and didn't know anything or how to earn sect points, it was this senior sister who guided her. Today, she was unlucky and didn't manage to grab any tasks that could earn points, so she decided to take a break and bring the pastries that her brother had taught her to make to the place where she and her senior sister often met, as a thank-you gift.
She had just sat down in the pavilion, put down her food box, and looked up when she suddenly saw a very familiar figure amidst the lush greenery and dark red. Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could even react, she had already chased after him in a daze. Even when the food box was knocked to the ground, she didn't look back.
She ran faster and faster, and just as that figure was about to disappear around the corner, she shouted uncontrollably, "Junior Brother!"
After she shouted, she was startled.
The figure in front of them also stopped.
Jiang Jiang didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heart was pounding so hard that with each beat, she felt an indescribable bitterness that brought tears to her eyes.
It was as if she hadn't seen that person for a very, very long time.
She stood rooted to the spot, her reason tearing at her, constantly telling her that she didn't have a junior brother and that she shouldn't know such a person. But her feet wouldn't move, and her eyes remained fixed on that figure, unwilling to look away.
Finally, the figure behind the willow branches moved and slowly turned around.
She held her breath.
However, upon seeing the other person's face, all her tension, bitterness, and excitement vanished in an instant, like a receding tide.
not him.
The young woman behind the willow tree possessed a graceful and elegant demeanor, with a dignified and imposing presence, as if she had the bright moon in her arms, and was truly extraordinary.
But she knew he wasn't him, not the person she wanted to chase after.
The person she wants to chase is... the person she wants to chase is... who is the person she wants to chase?
A sudden, sharp pain shot through her head, as if a sharp object had pierced her skull. Jiang Jiang's vision blurred, and her body suddenly went limp.
Before she collapsed, she seemed to see the young man running towards her in a panic, shouting something.
The next second, she was tightly embraced by a beautiful figure.
Jiang Jiang tried to open her eyes wide, only to see the senior sister who had been taking good care of her staring at her with a pale face and eyes full of broken worry, as if she were an intangible wisp of smoke that would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Ginger ginger!"
"Senior...sister, I think I've forgotten someone very, very important..."
After murmuring these words, her world was plunged into darkness.
Yun Ruyi held the person in her arms tightly, a dark pain flashing across her eyes before disappearing unnoticed.
Why is it that even if your memories are sealed, the person you desperately want to remember is still him?
It has always been him.
"Is she alright? Why did she suddenly faint?" Xu Zisheng, who had been mistaken for someone else, rushed over and asked Yun Ruyi, who was holding her tightly, with concern.
Yun Ruyi gave him a cold look and said only two words—"Get out of my way!"
Then he picked up the unconscious Jiang Jiang and flew away on his sword without looking back.
Xu Zisheng's expression changed repeatedly, completely unaware of where he had offended this fellow Daoist, since he hadn't done anything to Jiang Liqian.
Besides, what's wrong with Jiang Liqian? As soon as he arrived at Tianqian Sect, he went to Zhenfeng to look for her, but everyone at Zhenfeng was gone, with only a few handymen disciples tending to the flowers and plants. He was puzzled.
And here he was, what a coincidence to run into her, and she'd inexplicably fainted? And why did she have to put those weird seals on her beautiful face? If he hadn't been so familiar with her scent, he almost wouldn't have recognized her!
By the way, what did she shout at him before she fainted?
It seems to be, Junior Brother?
