826 14.102 Last Violet Star (Past) Reconciliation
The fact that the former had already awakened wasnt reported to anyone by Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie. Only three days later, when Yun Huaxia dropped by to ask his brother for a spar, did he discover these two couples enjoying some chilled watermelons on their homes terrace. He even witnessed his younger brother a.s.sisting Bai Wuan with a fan.
The sight of Bai Wuan and his customary jovial smile astounded the First Young Master.
Hi~ Elder Brother Yun, are you here for AXia? Long time no see~ said Bai Wuan.
AWuan!? Thank G.o.d you are awake! Did you just wake up today? Dont eat cold watermelons if you just woke up; its harmful to your stomach, Yun Huaxia said as he regarded him with wonder and happiness written on his face.
Bai Wuan remarked, Eh, but Ive been awake for three days. Did AXia not inform you?
Yun Xiajie, who pretended not to be part of the conversation and even a.s.sisted Bai Wuan in wiping the corner of his lips with watermelon traces, caught the attention of Yun Huaxia and Bai Wuan.
I neglected to tell them, the Second Young Master Yun said in response.
Pfft! Hahaha~
While seeing his husbands unexpected dishonesty, Bai Wuan was unable to contain his laughter.
.....
Evidently, he was aware that Yun Xiajie had remembered to inform his father or brother once he woke up. However, his innate possessiveness prevents all of these ideas from occurring at once, leaving him with little choice except to disregard them. He wanted to spend more time together, after all, this was his sweetheart.
Yun Huaxia regarded the pair with a helpless expression. But he was quick to notice a unique, custom-made black hairpin on Bai Wuans Silver Hair. When he was searching for the communication orb that day in his brothers place, he had seen this hairpin in his younger brothers room. Being all-black, it was clear that Yun Xiajie wasnt intended to wear it. He understood that it must be a love token, now that it was on Bai Wuans head.
He then went in search of the love token that Bai Wuan had traded for his younger brother, but he was unable to locate any new clothing or accessories on him. But when he turned to look inside the home, he noticed a stunning black jade guqin that had been thoughtfully put near the area where his younger brother often did his musical practice. A few silver diamonds in the shape of little snowflakes are embedded into the side.
The First Young Master Yun nodded contentedly, Meanwhile, as he saw what his brother was gazing at, Yun Xijaie also spotted what his brother was seeing and promptly blocked his brothers line of sight from the gift his beloved had given him.
Yun Xiajie says, That guqin is given to me by Jinger. I have no plans to lead it to anyone.
Im not going to borrow it! Brothers chosen musical instrument is the flute! retorted Yun Huaxia.
Bai Wuan excitedly said, Elder Brother Yun, look at my hairpin. It looks nice, right? Perfectly suits my silver hair. AXia gave it to me~
You two lovebirds. Hold back a little bit okay? This elder brother, hasnt been forgiven by his Dao Companion! said Yun Huaxia.
Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie pat his back in comfort and said,
Dont cry, Elder Brother Yun. I can help you explain to Qiqi.
Suffer more brother.
(QAQ) Younger Brother, you changed!
Yun Huaxia spoke, Okay, enough of me. You two should still inform Father and Sect Elders that AWuan had woken up. Plus, you might have not heard but... Sect issued some missions that involved the Xie Clan.
Xie Clan? They still havent crooked yet. When Xie Gui attacked me that night I noticed something weird about him... said Bai Wuan.
Yun Huaxia asked, What do you mean?
The old man seems to be suffering from his inner demons. It must be because he used to be a righteous cultivator and had become a fall. Then that blood pool. Though it had the effect of increasing longevity, it is still filled with resentment qi plus the death qi from those small hills of corpses, said Bai Wuan.
Yun Xiajie commented, If he is having inner demons, it means that his strength would just continue to decline and eventually go insane in the end.
If his state is really like this then, it is true that he would be vulnerable but... his actions would be unpredictable as well. Moreover, we need to worry about the Devil Race who seems to be the mastermind for Xie Guis sudden increase in strength, said Yun Huaxia.
Bai Wuan spoke, The devil race had always been prevented from entering the mortal realm because of the barrier that separates the two realms. The only way for low and mid-ranked devils is to be summoned by a high-rank devil. While a high-ranked devil needs to split its soul and find a vessel among the mortals.
But there is a way to recognize a vessel of the devil among the others. A body chosen by a devil to inhabit would be branded by the h.e.l.l flower. This flower is made of the vessels blood itself and would form the shape of a Spider lily flower. It is a living curse given to those who had signed a contract with the devil race, explained Bai Wuan.
Stunned Yun Huaxia asks, AWuan, where did you learn about this information?
I love reading books as a pastime. I found an ancient record in Bai Lengshui Sect and deciphered it. This is what Ive learned from that Ancient Scroll, answered Bai Wuan.
The Second Young Master Yun didnt respond much and didnt say anything about whether or not what his Dao Companion said was true. But its possible that he made up what he stated as a justification so he could tell his older brother about it. If it was a concern for his older brother, his father and the sect leaders would undoubtedly be aware of it as well. This was obviously Bai Wuans attention as well.
Yun Huaxia said, Thanks for the information, AWuan. With this, we can definitely differentiate the devil. I should return now. I will inform father about you finally waking up. Just be sure to join the Sect dinner tonight to ease their anxiety. Moreover, in front of your Sect, when the Bai Clan learned about your injuries they... they almost came over to bring you home. But Xiao Jie pleads for you to stay at least until you wake up. Are you going back to the Bai Lengshui Sect?
Not yet. My body still feels a bit haywire, I need to stabilize the connection between my vessel and my qi. Moreover, I plan to stay at least until my next mission is issued. said Bai Wuan.
As his younger brother is preparing to travel with him, Yun Huaxia wanted to enquire about the details of his mission. Yun Xijaie, who was remaining quiet, interrupted him before he could pose a question regarding this subject.
Yun Xiajie said, Brother should leave. You still have a mission to do in the afternoon. Even though it was only a small clean-up, you still need to make preparations.
What clean up mission? The undeads near the dead lake? I think it is better to check the lake instead, maybe there is something in there causing the undead to be born, suggested Bai Wuan.
Yun Xiajie remarked, Brother, be careful. If Jingers guess is correct you wouldnt be able to clean up a whole lake alone.
Dont worry. Im just going to investigate. I wouldnt dive in the lake. I spend too much time now. I need to go ahead. AWuan, rest for a few more days. I will explain to my father and elders about your state. Xiao Jie, you look after him well. Since you both already exchanged tokens you can be considered as betrothed to each other. Once youve reached the age, we will talk with the Bai Clan for permission.
I will take care of Jinger well, brother, said Yun Xiajie.
The First Young Master Yun departed the mountain summit only after paying a befitting farewell.
To complete his daily report, he intends to go back to the Main Peak.
Yun Xiajie moved to sit next to Bai Wuan and gave him a back hug a little while after Yun Huaxia had departed. Bai Wuan allowed the Second young master a hug without objecting.
Bai Wuan noticed his husbands odd behavior and said, Whats wrong, AXia?
Yun Xiajie answered, I want to accompany you in all your future missions. I already have father and brothers permission. Can I go with you?
My missions were not too great for you who hate killing to accompany me. There are times I have to kill to complete it. Would you still want to go with me after hearing this? asked Bai Wuan.
Yun Xiajie said, ... Un.
If you go with me, I want you to promise not to stop me in whatever I wish to do in order to complete my mission and you must even help me kill if the time comes. Are you still joining? asked Bai Wuan.
Nodding his head Yun Xiajie responded, I will listen to you and help you regardless of the ending. Even if I have to help you kill, as long as you allow me to stay by your side. Bring me with you, Jinger.
Sigh~
Okay. I give up. You can come with me. Most likely my original mission for a.s.sa.s.sination would no longer be approved because of the existence of the Devil Race. Instead, the mission might be involved with the devils race. Youre going with me should be no problem, said Bai Wuan.
The man behind him tightened his hug as he also rubbed his face on his hair. When are we going to leave? asked Yun Xiajie.
Bai Wuan answered, Hm~ maybe when I get the mission officially and get the approval message sent here? Either way, we can only wait.
Instead... Im more interested in that mission Elder Brother Yun is going to investigate. Should we sneak out and follow him secretly? asked Bai Wuan.
Yun Xiajie agreed without hesitation, I will ask around for the details of this mission. Do you feel something weird might happen?
Hm~ I just feel a bit uneasy. I just hope Im thinking too much, Bai Wuan said.
At the Main Peak...
Yun Huaxia had just gotten the details of his a.s.signment and was getting ready to leave this afternoon after reporting on Bai Wuans condition. The disciples of the Bai Lengsui Sect and Bai Qiyin visited their Senior Brother Bai while he was discussing his mission with the elders. Most of them were eventually chased out by a furious Yun Xiajie, leaving just the terrified Bai Qiyin, Bai Lili, Jin s.h.i.+yan, and Lu Er behind.
Additionally, Bai Wuan told his brother that he didnt entirely blame Senior Brother Yun for what had occurred to him because he hadnt antic.i.p.ated the elderly ancestor of the Xie Clan becoming mad all of a sudden. He obtained this knowledge straight from his brother, and as a result, his rage at Yun Huaxia gradually subsided.?????????l. c??
Bai Wuan, his older brother, even told him that Yun Huaxia, his future dao partner, would embark on a dangerous mission this afternoon. Bai Qiyin departed to seek Yun Huaxia after hearing this.
Bai Qiyin antic.i.p.ated Yun Huaxias arrival at the gates and purposefully ran into him. The once-friendly pair exchanged uneasy glances at this time. Yun Huaxia kept begging Bai Qiyin for forgiveness when Bai Wuan returned from the mission injured and went into a coma. In the end, he finds himself overburdened with work and has little time left to see Bai Qiyin.
Startled Yun Huaxia calls the name of the man blocking him at his Sect entrance gates,
Yiner?
... Um. B-Brother Hua I... My Brother explained everything to me. He said... It wasnt your fault that he ended up in a coma for a few days. He said he had overused his qi and needed to sleep to get it all back. I... Im sorry for one-sidedly blaming you, said Bai Qiyin as he lowered his head to show his sincere apology.
Yun Huaxia was amazed that AWuan just needed to say a few words to entirely change this persons obstinate thinking. He automatically reached out to fluff the young mans silky hair in front of him but held back. Finally, Yun Huaxia just gave Bai Qiyin a little touch on the shoulder.
Yun Huaxia said, Its okay... I am still to blame due to my selfishness that day. You should return to the dorms. It will be a bit colder tonight. I still have a mission I will go to now. See you.
The First Young Master Yuns uncomfortable motion, in Bai Qiyins opinion, indicated a separation from himself. He couldnt help but cry as he considered the possibility that his future dao partner might not wind up being his partner in the end.
Wuwuwu~ Im sorry. I was just angry. I didnt want to ignore Brother Hua~ (QWQ) Wuaaa~ said Bai Qiyin as he suddenly hugged Yun Huaxia and started bawling.
Yun Huaxia was left speechless by his sobs and unsure of what to do. He had to gently touch Bai Qiyins back and cuddle the kid in his arms in order to stop the wailing from continuing for an additional 30 minutes. Yun Huaxia was forced to agree to Bai Qiyins demands that he follow him on his mission. Unaware that some individuals have followed them as they leave the Lan Zhuayun Sect.
