Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

In the following days, Wen Qing will take care of the health of the old, weak and sick in the clan, Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying will work together to formally teach A Yuan how to practice, and Wei Wuxian will concentrate on practicing so that he can form a pill as soon as possible.

In the Lotus Pier, Jiang Wanyin received the elixir that Wei Wuxian sent him halfway and finally completed his marrow cleansing. He completely refined the golden elixir in his stomach, which would help him improve in his future cultivation. So he immediately recorded the entire process in detail and passed it to Wen Qing.

After sending the thick letter, he finally put down the small wooden comb in his purse that he had never given away.

At Jinling Terrace, Jiang Yanli kept a close eye on Jin Guangyao, but unfortunately Jin Guangyao was much more patient than anyone imagined. He could actually watch himself being plotted against by Jin Guangshan and Madam Jin without resorting to any means beyond the obvious. He even staged a drama of him chasing after him with Xue Yang and took the opportunity to send Xue Yang out of Jinling Terrace.

However, she and Madam Jin did not gain nothing during this period. At least Jin Guangshan saw with his own eyes how difficult Jin Guangyao was. It also made Jin Guangshan more determined to pass the Jin family to Jin Ling.

Except for Lan Zhan who is still being forced by Lan Qiren to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion in the name of seclusion, it seems that everyone is moving towards a new life and is full of confidence in the future.

Of course, behind all that seems to be going smoothly there are always some disappointments, such as Wei Wuxian and Shi Ying.

As for Jiang Cheng, he felt that he was really not good at dealing with certain emotional issues, so after realizing that there was still a little bit missing between him and Shi Ying to break through that layer of window paper, he decided not to make things difficult for himself. As long as Shi Ying didn't take the initiative to make everything clear, he might as well carry out the rogue behavior of "not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility" to the end.

However, Wei Wuxian himself has very high moral standards, so after seeing Shi Ying and Jiang Cheng almost kissing on New Year's Eve, he realized that his attention to Jiang Cheng was too much, and their relationship was even in danger of crossing the line, so after testing it twice and finding that Jiang Cheng only had ordinary brotherly feelings for him, he silently swung his sword and cut off the black hair that had just become clear.

Under the fireworks that looked like shooting stars, Wen Qing patted Wei Wuxian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang is smart, kind and upright, but he is a romantic and quick-thinking person at heart. Such a person is irresistible just by his appearance."

Wei Wuxian turned around and looked at Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying squatting down on the left and right to protect little A Yuan who was playing with fireworks in his hands. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, and such a person also loves the people like his own children, always pays attention to protecting the weak, and is ready to stand in for others when he sees any injustice. Not only does he have such thoughts, he also has the ability to settle everything."

Any creature that is both powerful and beautiful is irresistible.

Compared to Wei Wuxian who knew it was impossible from the beginning, Shi Ying's matter was a real trouble, especially after Jiang Cheng figured it out and decided to start a bad attitude. Sometimes he felt that his relationship with Jiang Cheng had entered a more intimate stage, but sometimes he couldn't help feeling that his relationship with Jiang Cheng was not as close as he imagined.

What's even more terrible is that he always remembered the fatal question that Jiang Cheng asked at the beginning. Even though Jiang Cheng acted as if he didn't care later, he didn't dare to touch that minefield, because he couldn't tell whether Jiang Cheng really didn't care, or was just pretending not to care and actually kept the question deep in his heart.

Shi Ying warned himself not to be like a brat, who would be frightened by the slightest disturbance. However, the one at a disadvantage in love is just like that. Worrying about gains and losses is the norm, especially for people like him who have never thought of giving up.

Jiang Cheng certainly felt Shi Ying's self-suffering and self-abandonment, but he himself had no intention of improving his relationship with Shi Ying, so he had no idea what to do to make Shi Ying feel at ease. So he simply decided to find something serious for Shi Ying to do to keep him busy, so that he wouldn't be caught up in internal friction.

After A Yuan's class ended that day, Jiang Cheng pulled Shi Ying towards the back mountain, indicating that he wanted to talk alone.

Shi Ying once again misunderstood Jiang Cheng's meaning, thinking that Jiang Cheng now wanted to make a judgment on this relationship. For a moment, he felt his steps were so heavy that he couldn't even lift his feet. His heart slowly sank to the bottom, and he even began to feel cold all over.

He had only felt these feelings when he was on the verge of death since he became an immortal, but now they were easily provoked by Jiang Cheng. He didn't even think about hating himself for being so powerless. He just felt that the scenery in front of him began to become desolate.

Jiang Cheng didn't notice anything wrong and didn't feel bored with the scenery he had been looking at for a long time. After climbing onto a small platform, he turned back and said to Shi Ying with great interest, "This place is perfect for Yuan to practice swordplay. There are several such places in the back hills of Lotus Pier, all of which were built by me!"

Shi Ying simply couldn't believe what he heard. He immediately realized that Jiang Cheng asked him to come out to discuss something else, not a showdown as he had imagined. His mood, which had sunk to the bottom, instantly rebounded, and even his hair, which was blown by the wind, was filled with joy.

Jiang Cheng was not blind, of course he saw the rapid change in Shi Ying's mood, and understood that Shi Ying had misunderstood the purpose of his calling him out, but he really couldn't say anything to comfort him, so he could only pretend not to see it.

"This place is not too high. It can be used when A Yuan first starts practicing swordsmanship. There is no need to set up any protective formations. All we need to do is fill in some stone slabs."

Shi Ying smiled and responded to Jiang Cheng's words: "Yes, when you first start practicing sword, you don't need much protection, but when A Yuan's cultivation level improves, you must change the place."

Jiang Cheng pointed to the steep and towering mountain behind him and said, "That mountain is just right for people with some cultivation. It will depend on how Yuan arranges the training platform. We may not be able to wait until then, but we can leave some formations and spells for him in advance. When he grows up, he can learn them by himself if he is interested."

Shi Ying looked at the mountain Jiang Cheng pointed out. Only a little rock was exposed on the top of the mountain, and the rest was covered with trees. He thought that the top of the mountain was indeed a good place to practice and meditate. But at this moment, his brain short-circuited and he didn't know what was going on. He blurted out the question that had been lingering in his mind: "In that world, you and Wei Ying have a child, right?"

Now it was Jiang Cheng's turn to feel aggrieved.

Originally, he felt that he had betrayed Wei Ying and the child because of Shi Ying, but he didn't expect that Shi Ying would directly point it out. He stopped and took a long breath, and said unhappily: "I will regard this question as your response to the question I asked you that day."
