Chapter 53 – Solemn and Magnificent1

When Third Shidi saw that the scary expression on Lu Qingan's face and the way Yan Hue shook slightly as though he was on the verge of attacking with it, he slipped back into his room at once.

Chu Yu didn't want to see his Shizun's terrifying visage either. He gave Shen Nian a look of pity, cupped his hands to Lu Qingan, and then tried to use a hand to pull Xie Xi away, as was his usual habit.

However, Chu Yu was unable to grab Xie Xi's hand or pull him away.

Chu Yu's little face went dark immediately. The little jade dumpling's face showed his killing intent.

Wei Ciyin had done a good deed. He must surely be rewarded for it in the future.

Xie Xi held back his smile as he knelt down. Looking at Chu Yu's young and tender appearance, he couldn't help but pinch his cheek and knead his face for a while. Then Xie Xi kissed Chu Yu and picked him up.

Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

To think that originally, he was stronger than Xie Xi… but that after becoming a child, Xie Xi didn't even notice Chu Yu's struggles. He was afraid that one day he would completely lack the capacity or even the desire to resist and would just lie down flat, ready to be trampled/crushed. Chu Yu felt so depressed that all he could do to express it was lower his head and angrily bite into Xie Xi's shoulder.

Xie Xi wasn't hurt at all. Knowing that Chu Yu was upset, he caressed the child-like Chu Yu's hair then took his leave of Lu Qingan by bowing to him. He then set Xun Sheng's course for the Chu family camp.

When they had left the Tian Yuan Sect camp, Chu Yu began to feel worried.

This sort of thing would be absolutely impossible for Chu Sheng to accept. Although Chu Sheng looked normal on the outside, inside his heart was more fragile compared to other people so he definitely wouldn't be able to accept this.

But Chu Yu had just left for half a month. Now, he was too afraid of Chu Sheng's reaction if he just snuck away without any explanation, Chu Yu probably wouldn't be able to be back for a long time and Chu Sheng might be worried to death.

… Then it was clear that Chu Yu could only tell him the truth.

Chu Yu couldn't figure out how he was going to explain how his appearance had been changed to Chu Sheng. Looking down at the densely packed-together cultivators' camp, he saw that the tops of the houses and tents were covered with snow. White snowflakes were falling down in front of his eyes, looking peaceful and tranquil.

Xie Xi, worried that Chu Yu was cold, took off his robe and carefully wrapped it around Chu Yu. Chu Yu thought that he must look like a big white radish that Xie Xi was tightly holding in his arms, as he was currently unable to move.

But gradually his heart calmed down.

Chu Yu closed his eyes and took the initiative to rest his forehead on Xie Xi's neck in a show of affection.

Xie Xi had always been the one who clung to him, unwilling to let go. Now he should try to reciprocate.

Xie Xi was currently keenly aware of every slight movement that Chu Yu made. He went still for a moment then rubbed his chin on the top of Chu Yu's head. A warm smile drifted over his face.

Sneaking into Chu’s house, Xie Xi walked quickly towards Chu Yu's room with Chu Yu in his arms and was about to push the door open when, suddenly, the door made a creaking sound as it was opened from the inside.

Behind the door was Chu Sheng, his face expressionless.

The faint moonlight reflected by the snow in the darkness lit up his face that was seemed to be stuck halfway between cold and angry.

… Big brother, have you come to check my bed in the middle of the night?

Chu Yu’s eyebrows twitched. His intuition told him something bad was about to happen.

The Chu family has a spell array that triggers to detect when someone enters or exits their area. Xie Xi always carefully avoided setting off the spell array's alarm when he came to meet with Chu Yu at night. During the day, Xie Xi would then sneak back out and had never once got caught. However, when they went to the Tian Yuan Camp earlier, although Xie Xi seemed calm, he had clearly been quite shocked by Chu Yu's sudden change in appearance. When they left, Xie Xi likely forgot to avoid the spell array when he rushed out with Chu Yu.

When the alarm is triggered, the person on duty will immediately report it to Chu Sheng. Chu Sheng always ranked Chu Yu as his top priority. Naturally, he would have gone to check if Chu Yu was safe…

Then there would have been nothing there to see.

Chu Yu turned his face around.

Xie Xi hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say to Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng unsheathed San Huo and stared at Xie Xi with blazing eyes: "The outer spell array barrier was broken by you! Where did you hide my little brother?! Don't think just because you're my little brother's Shidi that I won't beat you up!"

Xie Xi had originally wanted to get along with Chu Sheng but when Chu Sheng said that, Xie Xi's face turned pale. He sneered coldly and didn't answer Chu Sheng.

Big brother, please stop planting destruction flags…

Chu Yu sighed and as he opened his mouth to speak, Chu Sheng's gaze fell on him.

For a moment, Chu Sheng was stunned then his gaze became heated.

Chu Yu's mouth twitched. In a small voice, he called out, "Big Brother…"

Chu Yu has thought over all the many possible reactions that Chu Sheng might have – shock, anger, fear, stupefaction…

He had never expected that Chu Sheng would be completely overjoyed.

Chu Sheng quickly approached and took Chu Yu into his arms, glancing coldly at Xie Xi. Seeing that Xie Xi wasn't wearing his outer robe, Chu Sheng looked down and realized that it was wrapped around Chu Yu. His face froze.

Xie Xi’s eyebrows twitched. Obviously, he was trying to be patient, he took a deep breath and stretched his lips up in a slightly distorted smile. He remained standing beside them like a person who had done no wrong.

Chu Yu was frightened by Chu Sheng’s scorching hot gaze and shrank from him. His childish voice couldn't help but tremble: "Big brother… please calm down."

This made Chu Sheng suddenly come to his senses. He touched Chu Yu’s face with great care. "Little brother?"

After a pause, he suddenly lifted Chu Yu above his head and laughed loudly. "Little brother, how did you become like this?"

Chu Yu's head was full of black lines.

Big brother, your reaction isn't right. Are you reading from the wrong script…?

Shouldn't you rush around immediately, screaming, "Who did this to my little brother?! Tell big brother and I will kill him right away!"

(TN: 囧 is a character used to express embarrassment and gloom, because of the character’s resemblance to a sad facial expression.)

After recovering from being stunned silent for a while, Chu Yu gathered his thoughts. He coughed then began to explain: "Big brother, I have been cursed and I ended up becoming like this…"

Chu Sheng’s eyes were gentle and warm, and he said softly, "Seeing my little brother like this makes me feel as if I've gone back to the past… back when we lived in Maple Valley, I was always with you my little brother, watching this little boy slowly grow up…"

While he was saying this, Chu Sheng's eyes were so gentle and misty that they almost overflowed with tears. He seemed to be feeling a little sad and pained. Pressing Chu Yu's head closer to his chest, Chu Sheng muttered: "Little brother, your big brother wouldn't mind raising you from childhood to adulthood again, never letting anyone take you away."

"Anyone" was clearly … referring to a very specific someone.

Chu Yu was the target of all of Chu Sheng's emotions. Sneaking a glance at Xie Xi's face, Chu Yu saw that although the expression on Xie Xi's face looked as if he was indifferent, Chu Yu could clearly see the words "I'm unhappy" written all over his face.

… Protagonist, don't be unhappy!

Chu Yu hurriedly returned to the topic at hand and explained what had happened while skipping over his most of his personal conversation with Wei Ciyin,

After listening to Chu Yu's narration of events, the smile on Chu Sheng's face rapidly disappeared and his voice was murderous as he said, "Wei Ciyin? Don't be afraid, big brother has almost recovered. Tomorrow I will bring some people with me to go and take his head."

As he was speaking, he appeared to suddenly remember that Xie Xi was still present. Turning his head, he looked at Xie Xi with unfriendly eyes: "Why did you take my younger brother out in the middle of the night?"

Xie Xi snorted coldly and, clasping his hands together, did not reply.

Wanting to avoid a quarrel breaking out between the two individuals, Chu Yu moved closer and said, "Big brother, my Shidi just took me to see Shizun…:

He hadn't finished speaking yet when, suddenly, there was a loud "ding dong" sound. The sound was loud and low, coming from somewhere that wasn't far away from the Chu family camp. The sound came crashing towards them like a strong wave. This sort of sound would be able to make lower level cultivators' chests feel tight. Once the sound had come, it couldn't be ignored. All over the Qing Tu camp, cultivators were flying up on their swords, quietly watching to see what was going to happen.

Chu Sheng now looked pale as he gazed towards the distant location the bell came from. After that sound had passed, not long after, the sound of the bell came again, like the roar of a lion, loudly resonating, it rang three times in a row, before quieting down.

Chu Yu's small face became distorted: May the Lord Buddha preserve and purify us!
