“Master, what are you playing…” Before Yu Lin could finish his sentence, he was pushed aside by Chu Yi, avoiding Bai Xiaosheng’s sword. However, the long hair hanging down his neck was cut off by the sword’s aura.
Bai Xiaosheng was serious.
Yunmeng Ze, as a paradise, does not belong to any country and is entirely protected by Bai Xiaosheng. Anyone who intrudes, no matter who they are, must compete with Bai Xiaosheng, either in literature or martial arts.
Yu Lin had broken through the Qimen Dunjia test and was classified by Bai Xiaosheng as literary. Chu Yi naturally fell into the category of martial arts.
Thinking of this, Chu Yi’s face became slightly tense, and he immediately drew his sword and fought with him. The clanging sound of swords and knives was endless. Bai Xiaosheng twirled a sword flower, and even the most basic swordsmanship was danced by him with great elegance, which was unique to the chivalry of the rivers and lakes, Chu Yi, on the other hand, was open and close, with the decisive and fierce determination of life and death on the battlefield, forcing Bai Xiaosheng to retreat again and again.
Yu Lin watched the two of them fight as if they were not related, and didn’t know what was wrong with them.
Bai Xiaosheng turned around, used his sword to block Chu Yi’s downward slash, and kicked him in the shoulder. The sword flew out of his hand, and Chu Yi staggered a few steps, and was quickly helped by Yu Lin who had rushed up.
Bai Xiaosheng sheathed his sword, walked up to the two with a stern face, and raised his hand to hit Yu Lin with the scabbard, “I made you a bad boy, I made you go to brothels, I made you leave and never come back for eight years…”
Chu Yi firmly protected him in his arms, was hit hard, and groaned a few times without daring to resist. As a result, after Bai Xiaosheng finished beating Yu Lin, he turned to teach him, “You just know how to protect him, except for his good brain, everything else has been spoiled by you.”
The two of them, both in their twenties, stood pitifully by the lake in Yunmeng Ze, being beaten, and not far away were the people living in Yunmeng Ze, all curiously poking their heads out.
After venting his frustration, Bai Xiaosheng stepped on the clear waves and led the two to his residence.
“Master.” Chu Yi called him helplessly.
“What are you doing?” Bai Xiaosheng turned his head and asked with a feigned harsh voice.
Yu Lin wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, and pointed to the other side, “You went the wrong way, it’s that direction.”
Bai Xiaosheng, who was known as a road idiot in Yunmeng Ze, said with a profound face, “I am testing whether your light work has been abandoned.”
Bai Xiaosheng, who is well known for his poor sense of direction in Yunmeng Ze, said with a profound look on his face: “Master is testing whether your has been neglected.”
When Yu Lin saw Bai Xiaosheng’s messy house, he couldn’t help but pull Chu Yi to lower his voice and whisper in his ear: “You’re still talking about me. Since Master Cheng is not here, no one is following Master to clean up.”
Being so close, even if the voice was suppressed very low, Bai Xiaosheng could still hear it clearly with his hearing. He pretended to hit again, but the slap didn’t fall, and he walked into the room while muttering to himself, “Why mention him, he hasn’t come back for three days after dealing with the affairs of the sect… Eh? How come this broken house doesn’t even have a place to stay?” He looked back at the two who didn’t know which foot to step on first, “And you two, why do you have to learn from me and him to be homosexual?”
Yu Lin couldn’t help but retort, “When I liked Shaoze, you hadn’t even figured things out with Master Cheng.” Seeing Bai Xiaosheng start to roll up his sleeves, he quickly covered his face and retreated, “Master, don’t hit the face.” He was still hoping to use this face to sleep with Chu Yi, although he was a bit scared when he thought about that person’s size now.
Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, thinking that the eldest disciple’s brain might have been protected by Chu Yi. He found two hair bands to tie up his wide sleeves, and ordered the two juniors to clean up the room for him, while he went out.
Yu Lin saw his posture and had a bad feeling, “Master, what are you going to do?”
Bai Xiaosheng looked puzzled, “Cook dinner, or what are we going to eat?”
Yu Lin, Chu Yi:……It’s over.
Chu Yi said with difficulty, “Master, you rest, I’ll do it.”
Bai Xiaosheng: “It doesn’t make sense to let guests cook.”
Yu Lin came to his senses and also persuaded, “Master, you are being estranged. It is my duty as a disciple to cook for you.”
When Cheng Louzhu and Chu Yi hadn’t come to Yunmeng Ze, Bai Xiaosheng had cooked a few times. The color was bright and the taste was okay. But Yu Lin ate it and doubted his life, once thinking that he was too poisoned and would die.
The people of Yunmeng Ze saw him as a poor little boy, so they took him to their homes for meals. So Yu Lin just kept eating at other people’s homes until Chu Yi came.
Chu Yi was two years younger than him. When he saw Chu Yi stepping on a small stool and struggling to climb onto the stove, he felt a little sorry for him, so he wanted to overcome his laziness and tiptoe to the edge of the stove to learn how to cook.
But the final result was that he was half a catty with Bai Xiaosheng, so he gave up decisively and let Chu Yi do it. Although Chu Yi was young at that time, the things he made could barely be eaten, and he wouldn’t vomit or have diarrhea after eating. The three of them just made do until Bai Xiaosheng picked up Cheng Louzhu.
After dinner, Bai Xiaosheng praised Chu Yi’s cooking skills, and then led the two to the small shrine in Yunmeng Ze. He took their birth papers from the front of the statue, “I know why you came to Yunmeng Ze, I have already calculated your birth eight characters for you, and also asked for fortune.” He paused, “May 9th and October 26th are both good days, you can choose any day to get married, it depends on whether you are in a hurry or not.”
The purpose of coming to Yunmeng Ze has been achieved, and Bai Xiaosheng did not rush the two away, “After you left Luoyang, Prince Min began to plot to usurp the throne. If you don’t want to wade into this muddy water, just stay in Yunmeng Ze for a while, the room you used to sleep in is still there.” His expression was a bit vicissitudes of life, and he sighed long, “You two also don’t just have each other in your eyes, come back and see me more often when you have time.” He will not marry and have children in his life, and he regards Chu Yi and Yu Lin as his own. Now that the children have grown up and their wings have hardened, and they have found a place to live, this makes him very relieved.
In the eyes of Chu Yi and Yu Lin, Yunmeng Ze is their hometown, and Bai Xiaosheng, who nurtured them and taught them literacy and martial arts, is their closest family.
Looking at the room that was as clean and tidy as when they left, it was out of place with the other rooms in Bai Xiaosheng’s house that were full of junk, and both of them had slightly moist eyes.
So Bai Xiaosheng kept everything, fearing that they would not find their way home.
“Knowing that you were coming, I didn’t dare to enter this room when Cheng Feng was away. If I messed it up, I wouldn’t be able to clean it up.” Bai Xiaosheng’s words made the two feel as if all their emotions had been fed to the dogs.
“Alright, don’t be melancholic, I’m not really a lonely old man.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed heartily, patting their heads, “Just stay in Yunmeng Ze peacefully these days, don’t worry about things outside.”
After thinking about it, he added: “Especially you, Qing Lan, don’t meddle.”
Yu Lin’s eager heart was pressed back: …Oh.
