Chapter 133: Have they Forgotten Us?
As soon as the voices stopped, heaven and earth qi wrapped around the four. Tendrils of power invaded their bodies, and an invisible bond formed between them.
’Oath of brotherhood...’ Jiang Yue thought in awe.
However, he didn’t have more time to marvel before a peppy voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Let’s drink, brothers." Xuan Ke said and lifted his wine cup.
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes but still grabbed his own.
"We are brothers from today onwards." Li Futian also picked up his wine cup.
Without a word, Yu Nianzhen also grabbed his own, and the four simultaneously emptied their cups.
After that, the four drank a few more cups before Li Futian and Xuan Ke left the tent.
"Are you resentful?" Jiang Yue asked as soon as the others left.
He sat across Yu Nianzhen and looked him in the eye as if wanting to see deep into his soul.
"I am not."
"Are you sure?"
With Yu Nianzhen’s character, he wouldn’t propose to become brothers with two people they barely knew.
However, Jiang Yue wanted it, and Yu Nianzhen didn’t want to deny him.
"They aren’t bad people."
"Don’t worry about it too much."
"I know."
In fact, Yu Nianzhen didn’t dislike the thought of the brotherhood.
If he was truly repulsed, he would have never gone along with the oath.
At that time, he would have done his best to dissuade Jiang Yue or found a way to delay the oath until they knew each other better.
’It’s strange that I wasn’t too against it.’ He thought and was a little curious but didn’t dwell on it.
"The soup should be ready." He said and moved to check the pot.
A quarter of an hour later, the two finished the pot of soup and settled down to rest.
"What’s your plan? Do you want to cultivate?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Not now. What about you?"
A playful smile curled Jiang Yue’s lips, and he moved towards Yu Nianzhen," I have a better idea for the rest of the day."
"What idea?"
Without a word, Jiang Yue approached Yu Nianzhen and pushed him backwards.
Although Yu Nianzhen could resist such a shove with his current cultivation, he didn’t resist.
Instead, he allowed his body to fall backwards and land on the simple stone bed on one side of the room.
"XiaoYue..." Yu Nianzhen called, but the other ignored him.
Jiang Yue stalked him and lowered himself above him.
"How about this idea?" He asked.
Yu Nianzhen didn’t answer.
He lifted his right arm and hooked it around the other’s neck. The palm of his hand lightly pressed the back of Jiang Yue’s head and lowered his head towards his own.
A moment later, their lips touched.
When the four lips met, it was like fire on dry leaves.
An intense tingling started from their lips and spread throughout their bodies.
’Something feels different.’ Jiang Yue thought.
However, he only had one moment for this thought before he was flipped over.
His back landed on the stone bed while Yu Nianzhen loomed above him. The man’s eyes were darker than usual, and Jiang Yue’s heart skipped a beat.
It was rare for the swordsman to lose control of himself, and Jiang Yue relished the sight.
Although he felt like a little lamb in front of the big bad wolf, he wasn’t scared.
They had kissed hundreds of times, but this time, Jiang Yue wanted more than a kiss.
He wanted to lose control and forget everything for a short while.
With such thoughts in mind, he hooked his leg on the other’s thigh and pulled him downwards.
This little action stimulated Yu Nianzhen, and he bent his head down.
His hot lips latched on Jiang Yue’s neck, and the other groaned in pleasure.
Hands calloused from swinging the sword lightly touched the other side of the neck, and Jiang Yue felt like he was on fire.
His hips lifted from the bed and lightly rubbed against the other’s body.
"You are playing with fire." Yu Nianzhen warned.
His voice was hoarse, and his left hand moved to hold down the disobedient hips.
"It should be okay as long as we..." Jiang Yue began but didn’t finish before a pair of lips covered his own.
After two lifetimes, Yu Nianzhen was also extremely eager.
He was looking forward to developing that far, but he had already decided.
Although sex was the bottom line and everything else was fine before twenty-one, he didn’t allow himself to go that far.
He still wanted to cherish Jiang Yue.
Since they were already waiting, he planned to wait for everything else too.
"Be obedient."
Jiang Yue snorted and then hugged the other.
It was difficult to hold it in, but when Yu Nianzhen did this, Jiang Yue felt cherished.
A smile curled his lips, and he forced himself to calm down.
When their heart rate returned to normal, the young men lay side by side on the stone bed.
"What’s on your mind?" Jiang Yue asked.
"XiaoYue, I want to kill them all." Yu Nianzhen said.
When he heard this, Jiang Yue didn’t need further explanation.
He understood the other wanted to make sure none of the Death Flower Ascension Front exited the thousand herbs garden this time around.
"Okay."
Yu Nianzhen took the other’s hand, and they fell into silence.
Although not much was said, Yu Nianzhen knew Jiang Yue would stand on his side on this matter.
"What do you think they want?" Jiang Yue asked.
Initially, he thought the Death Flower Ascension Front kidnapped talents to kill them.
However, the situation this time revealed the truth, but he didn’t believe this was the entire truth.
They now knew the Front kidnapped talents for their origin foundation, but this couldn’t be all.
He felt there had to be a greater conspiracy behind the origin transplant.
’There is also the name...’
Since he heard the name of the organisation, Jiang Yue always felt that the name was not random.
The members of the organisation often used poison flowers, but what was ’Ascension’ all about.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn’t figure it out.
’I should focus on what I know.’ He sighed and squeezed closer to the other.
"Let’s forget about it for today." Jiang Yue suggested.
"Good."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"What about you?"
"It’s been more than six years. How do you think everyone is doing? Have they forgotten us?"
Yu Nianzhen was silent for a moment when he heard what Jiang Yue wanted to talk about.
Although he rarely showed his emotions, he wasn’t emotionless.
He often thought about his grandfather, his parents, the Jiang family, and a myriad of many related things.
"Do you think Jiang Xing has married yet?" Jiang Yue wondered.
He liked his sister, but he had often seen her as an eyesore because she was Yu Nianzhen’s fiancée.
However, he couldn’t help but miss her now and then.
"Who knows..."
.....
In another world, Jiang Xing sneezed.
"Did you catch a cold?" Mother Jiang asked.
She was a little flustered and quickly sent a maid to prepare lemon water.
"How could you catch a cold on your wedding day?" She scolded, but Jiang Xing only rolled her eyes.
"I am sure someone is talking about me." She said and looked in the mirror.
She wore a beautiful white dress and a pearl necklace around her neck.
Her face was tastefully made up, and it perfectly brought out her youthful face that was ruddy with happiness.
Across the mirror, mother Jiang looked at her only daughter.
A complex look flashed in her eyes, and she sighed lightly.
"Mother...?"
"XiaoXing, are you over him?" She asked.
Jiang Xing looked at her mother and laughed.
She was engaged to Yu Nianzhen since her birth and had loved him for as long as she could remember.
However, love couldn’t be forced.
She wished she had figured it out when they were still there, but there is no regret medicine in the world.
If she met them in the afterlife, she would be able to look them in the eye and introduce the person she found for herself.
Lin Feng wasn’t as excellent as Yu Nianzhen.
He couldn’t run a multinational company or lead a powerful family like the Yu family, but he was perfect for her.
Unlike Yu Nianzhen, Lin Feng knew what she liked to eat and the music she listened to.
He knew what to do to make her happy, and he felt distressed when she was unhappy.
"Mother, Yu Nianzhen was always my brother’s fate." She chuckled, and her mother’s eyes widened.
Even though everyone knew, no one had pierced this paper layer.
However, mother Jiang could only sigh at this point.
She bent down, hugged her daughter, and when their eyes met in the mirror, she agreed, "you are right about that. He was always your brother’s from the day they were born."
