Chapter 120: He is rather Handsome
When the three came out, they saw a man standing outside the tent.
"Fellow Daoist Ma..." Li Futian called.
"Fellow Daoist Li." The man bowed and cupped his hands.
"Is there something?"
"Yes, the task has gathered thirty people. Fellow Daoist Jin will explain the task details at noon."
Li Futian looked toward the sky and nodded before speaking, "these are fellow Daoist Jiang and fellow Daoist Yu, I will bring them to the gathering point."
"I have seen fellow Daoist Jiang and fellow Daoist Yu." The man also bowed to the two.
After that, he left to deliver the message to others who had signed up for the task.
"It seems we can’t visit Zhao Sha for the time being." Li Futian said.
"Looks so." Jiang Yue answered.
"We will go back to our tent to prepare. Let’s meet again in two hours."
"Good."
With that, Li Futian returned to his tent, and the two walked back to theirs.
As they walked, Jiang Yue noticed Yu Nianzhen was preoccupied.
He seemed to have something on his mind and would frown once in a while as if trying to figure something out.
"What is it?" He asked.
Yu Nianzhen was silent for a moment before he sighed.
"I was looking at Li Futian, and he didn’t open his eyes once when we left the tent." He stopped after saying that, but Jiang Yue didn’t understand.
He frowned and waited for the other to speak. When he didn’t, Jiang Yue prompted, "so?"
"Without his eyes, he could immediately recognise the person who arrived and tell the time by looking at the sun."
When he said this, a thought appeared in the back of his mind.
However, the thought was vague, and Yu Nianzhen couldn’t grasp it.
"He always has his eyes closed, but he can perfectly see the world."
Unlike Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue was used to Li Futian’s weirdness.
When they first met, Jiang Yue studied him closely, but the young man never opened his eyes.
Still, nothing in the world could escape his sight.
Jiang Yue didn’t know if this was because of his origin or cultivation technique, but he wasn’t rude enough to ask even though he was curious.
"What are you thinking?"
"I am not sure."
Yu Nianzhen shook his head and pushed his thoughts back.
Although he wanted to grasp the idea playing in the back of his mind, the idea was too vague and wasn’t ready to be observed.
If he focused on it now, he could force it to mature, but Yu Nianzhen preferred to let it grow naturally.
When the time was right, the thought would float to the surface of his mind, and it wouldn’t be too late to act then.
"Let’s get ready first." He finally said.
After they settled in the tent, they once again checked their belongings.
"Are we missing anything?" Jiang Yue inquired.
They had replenished most of everything at the trade valley, but they also used a lot when fighting the Death Flower Ascension Front.
With that experience, they had a vague idea of what they would need when they once again confronted the Death Flower Ascension Front.
After being asked, Yu Nianzhen studied the catalogue of their belongings.
"We seem to have everything."
"I also think so, but..."
"But?"
"We should take the opportunity to get rid of more people and grab their storage rings."
As he said this, Jiang Yue was thinking of spirit stones.
At the moment, they had less than two million spirit stones.
If not because they killed a batch of Death Flower Ascension Front members at the trade valley, their stash would be less than one million.
Even now, two million could only last a few days with the current consumption.
’Let’s do that." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
"However, we should be careful." He continued.
"I know."
On the bright side, the mission was to eliminate a small group of Death Flower Ascension Front members.
However, the two suspected the actual mission would be vastly different.
After all, it was too much to gather thirty silver star cultivators to deal with a small enemy group.
From the mission requirements, the two could vaguely infer that the members of the small enemy group would also be powerful.
Other than that, they concluded the small enemy group was searching or had found something uncommon.
"I have been thinking, should we try to find the black-robed young man you encountered at the clear water lake?" Jiang Yue asked.
Since the incident at the clear water lake, he was curious to know more about the black-robed young man.
He not only wanted to know the kind of wine he gave to Yu Nianzhen but also how the other had managed to turn white to black.
No matter how he thought about it, it was strange that everyone remembered Yu Nianzhen killing people at the clear water lake, but the concerned party insisted he didn’t do it.
"We can." Yu Nianzhen immediately agreed.
"I have thought about it, and if you remember his face, I can paint his portrait, which we can place on the notice board."
Yu Nianzhen frowned when he heard that.
From what he knew, everything on the notice board in the base was related to the Death Flower Ascension Front.
If they placed the person’s poster on the board, others would assume he was an enemy, which would bring trouble to the young man.
Although the black-robed youth was murderous, he wasn’t evil.
He had also aided Yu Nianzhen’s cultivation, which formed a thick cause and effect between them.
For these reasons, Yu Nianzhen didn’t want to cause him too much trouble, so he rejected Jiang Yue’s idea.
"If we don’t post it, we can bring it along to ask people."
"En."
After that, Jiang Yue drew the black-clothed young man according to Yu Nianzhen’s description.
"He is rather handsome." He said after completing the painting.
When he heard that, Yu Nianzhen frowned, and black lines appeared on his face.
He pulled the other to sit on his lap and fiercely claimed his lips.
The kiss was not gentle or filled with passion.
Instead, it was filled with possessiveness and a need to stake a claim.
Before he let the other go, he bit his lower lip, and Jiang Yue pinched his waist in warning.
"Are you a dog?" He asked.
His face was dark, but his heart was happy.
He called Yu Nianzhen a dog, but he liked that the other was possessive of him.
In the same way, he was also possessive of Yu Nianzhen.
"Do you dare to admire another person?"
Jiang Yue chuckled and moved in to hug the man.
Where Yu Nianzhen couldn’t see, Jiang Yue smiled mischievously.
’You deserve to be teased like this. Who told you to attract an annoying peach blossom?’ He rubbed his lips against Yu Nianzhen’s neck and suddenly bit him.
Yu Nianzhen stiffened for a moment, but his body relaxed in the next.
He allowed Jiang Yue to bite down and wound his arms tighter around his waist.
"Who is the dog now?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
He wanted to sound authoritative, but his voice was low and hoarse.
After Jiang Yue’s string of actions, he understood the other was teasing him, and his heart relaxed.
When it came down to it, he wanted to be the only one in his lover’s eyes.
"Why do I always encounter such a scene?" A voice was heard from the tent’s entrance.
The two turned around and saw the monk standing there.
His voice declared his long-suffering, but his eyes betrayed his amusement.
"You wouldn’t have to if you announced yourself before entering." Yu Nianzhen grumbled.
He set Jiang Yue on his lap and glared at the monk.
"Don’t accuse this monk wrongly. I made my presence known, but you two were too busy to notice my presence."
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes and doubted the monk.
He had a feeling that the errant monk was also a deviant.
He intentionally entered without announcing himself because he wanted to peep at them.
’A voyeur monk, what is the world coming to?" Jiang Yue gave him a look, and the monk shuddered.
"What is that look?" Xuan Ke asked.
He felt that Jiang Yue was despising him, but he had no evidence of this fact.
"Has brother Ke heard the news?" Jiang Yue changed the subject.
"I came for this matter." Xuan Ke turned serious and took a seat across the two.
"You should already feel that this task is not as simple as it looks."
"What does brother Ke want to do?"
Xuan Ke looked at the two and took a sip from his gourd before he spoke, "I think this is a chance."
"I agree." Yu Nianzhen opened his mouth to say.
One of the reasons for joining the allied forces was because they wanted to grab the second half of the map from the Death Flower Ascension Front.
Although it was unlikely the map would be with the small enemy group involved in this mission, the enemy was a gold mine for information.
"Let’s capture a few to interrogate. What do you think?"
