Jiang Que was awakened by the sound of sharpening a knife in the middle of the night.

He raised his hand and touched, but He Wenshang, who was originally sleeping next to him, was not there.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Que got out of bed and took a quick look through the window.

Under the bright moonlight, He Wenshang sat in the yard making lanterns.

Using the knife he had just sharpened, he gently scraped off the grease on the skin of something unknown, until he had a complete and transparent thin piece of skin.

Paste it on the lantern and then slowly smoke it over low heat until the thin skin is completely stiff and firmly stuck to the lantern.

Then, under the light of candlelight, he picked up the pen and wrote and painted on the lantern with great leisure and elegance. It looked like an ordinary lantern, or even more exquisite.

There is nothing wrong with making lanterns in the middle of the night, unless you are sick.

But Jiang Que seemed to see a leg in the direction where He Wenshang was sitting.

Jiang Que suspected that he was not fully awake and his eyes were blurry.

He rubbed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

Not long after, He Wenshang came in, lifted the quilt, hugged Jiang Que from behind, and kept calling him "Junior Brother".

After a long time, someone finally fell asleep contentedly holding Jiang Que.

Make sure He Wenshang is asleep.

Jiang Que slowly opened his eyes, twirled his fingers, turned over, and hugged the sleeping He Wenshang in his arms.

...

When I got up early in the morning, the yard was clean and empty.

What was missing were a few of the semi-finished lanterns that He Wenshang had woven with bamboo strips yesterday.

Looking at He Wenshang's back as he packed his bag, Jiang Que felt a little strange... and a little scared.

Before going down the mountain, I went to say goodbye to the leader.

Yi Yue also wanted to go, but was stopped by the sect leader to help manage the sect's affairs, as if he was training her to be the next sect leader.

Yi Yue still has three years of mourning period.

Now only a year has passed.

Seeing that Yi Yue was reluctant to leave He Wenshang, the sect leader couldn't help but ask Yi Yue what she thought of He Wenshang.

Yi Yue has been without a mother since childhood. Now that his senior brother is gone, he is Yi Yue’s only elder.

Yi Yue and He Wenshang grew up together. If he really likes her, he can go to He Wenshang to discuss their marriage.

But the wedding date needs to be set after the Yi Yue mourning period.

Only two more years.

There is plenty of time, but you can settle the marriage first.

When He Wenshang comes back from this experience, he will talk to him.

When it comes to marrying Senior Brother Wen Shang, Yi Yue blushed but did not object.

She has liked Senior Brother Wen Shang since she was a child.

Being able to marry her senior brother is her lifelong wish.

...

On the way down the mountain, the tasks given by the sect are nothing more than helping the villagers fight hooligans and eliminate bandits. After the task is completed, the villagers will pay the bill.

Jiang Que sat in the carriage and counted the money he had earned in the past two days. Since they were all ordinary people, they could only be given a few copper coins for one task, and half of them had to be divided among the sects.

The money I earned was not as much as what I spent staying in the inn these two days.

Jiang Que slept late last night. Sitting in the carriage, he yawned and asked He Wenshang, "Where are we going next?"

He Wenshang looked at the list, which was given to him by the sect leader before he went down the mountain. It was the one with the highest amount of money, but the difficulty of the task was high, with five difficulty stamps on the list.

The boy yawned and leaned on He Wenshang's shoulder.

He Wenshang frowned: "Majia Town."

There was a case of missing young girl, and the people reported it to the police, but the local county government could not find the murderer at all. They could only barely find out that it was related to the Demon Alliance, but they could not find any breakthrough at all, so they had to ask for help from people in the martial arts world.

After all, these people in the underworld are more familiar with the affairs of the underworld.

Jiang Que hummed after hearing this and leaned against He Wenshang to rest.

The carriage was heading north and was a little bumpy along the path. The boy who was sleeping on He Wenshang's shoulder was run over by the carriage and his head was shaking, causing him to sleep unsteadily.

He Wenshang had no choice but to raise his hand and put his arm around the boy's shoulders, allowing him to sleep more soundly against him.

Where He Wenshang couldn't see, the young man in red, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, curled his lips.
