Chapter 70.2
Chapter 70 – White (2)
In this world, putting on a display to fool others was okay, but Jiang Xunyi and Yun Xie had known each other for so many years, so at a glance, Jiang Xunyi could see that the other’s dog face[1] was putting on a pitiful show that he couldn’t bear to watch . He suddenly snorted, slightly torn and slightly confused at how everything happened without reason . He just felt that ever since he took his little life back, it would be nice to be happy about the things in this world and not think so much .
He stretched out his hand and hooked Yun Xie’s chin . “What are you saying with a straight face? Are you trying to fight with me? You’re still not giving this master a smile?”
Yun Xie had always known that Jiang Xunyi’s temperament was strong, and when faced with his crush that was as soft as intestines, he was afraid that Jiang Xunyi would want to cut off ties . He wanted to say something else to make up for the stupid things he had just said, but at this moment, he was too taken aback and suddenly forgot to say any more .
Jiang Xunyi’s fingers were still on his chin, and his skin felt infinitely sensitive . Yun Xie could even feel a warmness from the cold, jade-like fingertips .
He met Jiang Xunyi’s eyes in disbelief and saw that the other was slightly smiling .
When their eyes met, Yun Xie suddenly understood Jiang Xunyi’s meaning, and a rush of blood flooded his head . Suddenly, there seemed to be thousands of fireworks in full bloom in front of him, and it was almost impossible to tell whether or not this was a dream . He originally excelled at eloquence, but at this time, he felt that the thousands of words in his heart were all trapped, and he couldn’t speak even a word . He couldn’t do anything besides stare at Jiang Xunyi hysterically, the corners of his mouth rising higher and higher .
“…Yun Xie . ” Jiang Xunyi said, “No, why do you love crying so much? Can you wipe your face before you talk? All these tears are rubbing on my clothes . ”
Yun Xie’s heart was in full bloom, and in his agitation, a mouthful of blood spurted out .
Jiang Xunyi: “…” Should he even mess with him anymore?
He retracted his hand . “Okay, act like I didn’t mention it . Show me your injury, how do you feel now…”
Before he could finish his words, Yun Xie suddenly grasped the hand that was trying to withdraw and pressed it onto his chest . His other hand reached to hold the back of Jiang Xunyi’s head before he leaned in and kissed him .
Jiang Xunyi instinctively struggled, but as Yun Xie kissed him, he forgot all his thoughts . The force of the kiss gradually increased until he was unable to even move . His movements were a bit jerky, but his expression was extremely devoted as if an entire lifetime’s worth of passion and zeal were all pinned to this very moment .
This kiss that brought the taste of blood and yet was indescribably sweet seemed to have created a layer of red dust[2] in an instant, and Jiang Xunyi’s vain heart seemed to find something it has always lacked, and the awkwardness of unfamiliarity seemed to gradually disappear .
After a long time, Yun Xie let go, lifting his left hand to stroke Jiang Xunyi’s cheek gently and pressing his forehead against the other’s . He couldn’t help but smile .
Jiang Xunyi also lacked the calmness he had in the beginning, and his mind was only thinking that Yun Xie’s eyes were deep and bright . To look at each other from such a distance only made everything more intense . The tip of his ears were a little hot, yet he still doggedly kept a serene expression . He raised his hand and patted Yun Xie . “Move away a little – look at how dirty you are, rubbing blood all over me . ”
After saying this, Jiang Xunyi couldn’t hold back a smile — his facial features were originally peerless, with brows as sharp as swords, and a cold side profile . His facial expressions had never fluctuated much . However, after such a display, his face carried the scorching beauty of spring blossoms .
Yun Xie was also looking at him with a smile when suddenly his eyes reddened .
Jiang Xunyi gradually recovered and began to act as usual, raising his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Yun Xie’s eyes . “What are you in a daze for, Yun Xie, come back!”
Yun Xie was about to speak, but when he glanced at him, he saw Jiang Xunyi’s injured hand . There was pain in his heart, and the urge to kiss him again dissipated . “Come and let me see your hand . What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xunyi didn’t care . “Nothing, the bones are already healed . It’s just a surface injury . Don’t worry, my condition will never be worse than yours . ”
The more Jiang Xunyi was nonchalant, the more uncomfortable Yun Xie felt . He forcibly dragged Jiang Xunyi over to check his injuries . Seeing Jiang Xunyi’s palm and the shocking wound on his chest, his brows furrowed, his face almost dripping with gloominess . “Xuan Li, that bastard . I just wish I could kill him again!”
Jiang Xunyi really felt that there was nothing serious about the injury . He originally wanted to push away the sentimental Yun Xie as usual, but just as he raised his hands, something unknown came over him and he let his hands drop, letting Yun Xie examine the injury . But seeing Yun Xie’s expression of melancholy, he still couldn’t help but say, “It’s alright now, you will get wrinkles if you frown so much . Hurry up and take back that expression, I’m very good now!”
Yun Xie bandaged Jiang Xunyi’s injury and closed his shirt . With both a laugh and a sigh, he said, “Alas, the hero is helpless and passionate . As long as I see you suffer, I can’t help it . How could this be?”
Jiang Xunyi raised his hand . “Stop! Don’t be nauseating . ”
He rolled up his sleeves and concealed the uncomfortable expression on his face by bowing his head . “You didn’t hold back on scolding me today . Stretch out your hand . I want to see how brilliant and heroic our Sect Master Yun is . ”
The piece of Xuan Li’s soul was originally sealed in Yun Xie by him, so Jiang Xunyi naturally could tell at a glance that the seal had been removed . Although he joked around, he was actually quite worried in his heart . However, he didn’t expect that when he took Yun Xie’s pulse, he found that the other’s spiritual power was smooth, the devilish energy was completely eliminated, and even the injury was much lighter .
Jiang Xunyi: “…”
Although he really didn’t want Yun Xie to be injured, why was it that he recovered from such a terrible injury in no time at all, while Jiang Xunyi was still half-dead like a seventy or eighty-year-old! The protagonist’s halo is about to blind people!
Yun Xie saw Jiang Xunyi’s shocked face and couldn’t help but smile . He brought the hand in his palm to his lips and kissed it, softening his voice when he said, “This devilish energy has bothered me for a long time . Now that it’s been removed, I feel even more relaxed… A’Xun, don’t worry . As long as you are healthy, it’s my greatest stability . ”
Yun Xie’s eyes fell directly on his face . Jiang Xunyi’s ears were hot, his face pretending to be calm . “I, I, I, I, of course, I am not worried . Who doesn’t know that you have thick skin?”
Yun Xie endured and endured and finally let the corner of his mouth quirk up before he laughed .
Jiang Xunyi angrily said, “If you laugh again, I will kill you…”
At this moment, Zhuo Zhengfan faintly shouted from a distance, “Brother Yun, is it you at the bottom of the cliff? Have you found Xunyi?”
Jiang Xunyi raised his voice . “Zhengfan, we are both here!”

He took his sword back from Xuan Li and went up the cliff with Yun Xie to find that not only was Zhuo Zhengfan there with his group of rescued cultivators, even Yu Hong and Qi Shijiu were there .
When Yu Hong saw him, he immediately rushed forward and wrapped his arms around Jiang Xunyi’s waist . Full of joy, he cried out, “Martial Uncle!”
Before he had time to cry out about his worries, he was picked up by the collar and tossed aside . Yun Xie smiled . “You’re already an adult, why are you still like a three-year-old child?”
“Martial Uncle Yun . ” Yu Hong shuddered, and immediately stood up properly, still looking at Jiang Xunyi . “Uncle, are you okay?”
Jiang Xunyi stretched his fingers and flicked his forehead with a smile . “Very good . I still have the strength to ask what is Young Hero Yu doing at the top of Flame Gate’s Mountain? Want to find a good grave for yourself?”
Yu Hong lowered his head quietly and shrank back, appearing like a little daughter-in-law . He dared not to talk any more .
Jiang Xunyi pursed his lips and temporarily let him go, standing aside and pretending to listen to Zhuo Zhengfan talking to Yun Xie . However, doubts arose in his heart – the Yun Xie of now is not like how he was in the story, and by dissipating Demon Sovereign Xuan Li’s soul’s demonic energy, the energy value of the system was weakened . At the same time, Jiang Xunyi had successfully completed the emergency task of saving Yu Hong and increased the energy a little bit . This was no different from what was expected, but why was the task of【Finding the Truth】still not completed even after Xuan Li’s death? The quest this time had dragged on for so long, so what was the truth about it?
As he was thinking, a wave of dizziness hit before he found that the energy bar of the system had suddenly increased a lot .
Jiang Xunyi couldn’t help being surprised: the energy value of the task he completed had already been added, so he didn’t know where this new energy came from . However, the energy bar only briefly flickered into visibility as the points were added, and it disappeared just as he wanted to see it again . He had no choice but to give up and merely note this in his mind .
Although he had traveled to ancient times, he still feel that he was living in a cloud of smog, how unfortunate…
Zhuo Zhengfan was still speaking to Yun Xie on the side . “…It all went as you expected, so now the Flame Gate is only down to a few remnants and generals . They can’t last long . According to my opinion, some people’s sin is undeserving of death . I want to reorganize this place and form a new school, so I plan to stay for a while . ”

Yun Xie smiled . “Good deed . Do you need me to assign someone to help you?”
Zhuo Zhengfan: “…” He didn’t know why, but he felt that today’s Yun Xie was a bit abnormal . Although he normally smiled when he talked, his expression today was particularly lively . With one glance, you could tell it was joy from the heart, and his words were spoken like poetry . He didn’t know what was up .
Zhuo Zhengfan couldn’t help taking a peek at Jiang Xunyi, but saw that he was standing next to him normally, sword in hands and head lowered . He didn’t know what the other was thinking about, but everything seemed normal .
“No, thank you, Brother Yun,” Zhuo Zhengfan said . “I have enough staff here . You and Xunyi are both important figures in your sects . I am afraid that leaving your sects for too long will cause you to accumulate many responsibilities, so you should head back soon — besides, isn’t the Sword Testing Conference just two months away?
Yun Xie actually forgot about this event — the Sword Testing Conference was regarded as a grand event in the cultivation world, held once every ten years . The disciples were able to learn from each other, and more importantly, the major sects of the cultivation world will be re-ranked at this meeting, so the leaders of each sect attached great importance to it . What’s more, Solar Envy Sect and Hidden Spirit Sect have been tied for first place for a hundred years . This time the Hidden Spirit Sect fell apart, so the Solar Envy Sect became the focus of everyone’s attention . Even though Yun Xie didn’t pay much attention to it, and the things he needs to manage will not be delayed .
When Jiang Xunyi heard the words “Sword Test Conference”, he returned from his thoughts and immediately said, “Yes, I also don’t know what’s happened with Molou . I have to go back and see before the conference . ”
When Yun Xie heard “Molou”, he immediately took a deep breath . Jiang Xunyi glanced at him . “If your teeth hurt, take medicine . ”
Zhuo Zhengfan: “…”
Although he didn’t know why he felt this way, but he kept thinking that something terrible has happened!
