Heiraten - Kapitel 41
Shen Yun and Xu Ziqing unusually spoke in unison: "Let go!"
Nineteen didn't care, but seeing Tianxiu made her very happy. Gu Yan was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse, only giving Tianxiu a charming smile and pointing...
She pointed to Xu Ziqing and said, "Hello, Second Brother Sang. This is my husband."
Tianxiu looked hurt: "Ah, you got married, you actually got married!"—completely ignoring Xu Ziqing's presence.
Xu Ziqing snorted coldly and stormed upstairs. Gu Yan was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether she should chase after him or stay.
Tianxiu winked at Shijiu, gave a mischievous smile, and looked delighted with the satisfaction of a successful prank.
Chapter Twenty-Six: Past Events
Tianxiu casually picked up Shen Yuntan's fan, fanned himself with it, ignored Xu Ziqing's angry departure, and smiled at Gu Yan: "Little sister, have you forgotten your brother after a year apart?"
He was grinning and joking, clearly acting like a scoundrel harassing an innocent woman. Nineteen frowned, somewhat displeased: "Tianxiu, you two know each other?"
Tianxiu's eyes were full of lingering affection as he spoke in an ambiguous tone: "It's more than just knowing each other..."
Tang Shijiu drew his sword and stood between the two, the tip of the blade pointing menacingly at Gu Yan: "What is your background, and what is your purpose in coming to my Xiaoyao Manor?"
Shen Yun closed his eyes in satisfaction. Good, he wasn't completely stupid yet.
Gu Yan looked at Tianxiu pitifully, then at Yun Tan, and said in a trembling voice, "Senior sister... I didn't mean anything by it..."
Shen Yun raised an eyebrow, pretending not to see.
Tianxiu winked, looking on with anticipation for the show.
Gu Yan knelt down with a thud and kowtowed several times to Tang Shijiu: "Senior Sister, to tell you the truth, I was originally a wanderer in the martial world. I was saved by Master, which spared my lowly life. Gu Yan really wouldn't dare to have any disloyal thoughts towards our sect. Heaven above and Earth below, if Gu Yan has told even a single lie..."
Her teary-eyed appearance was truly pitiful. Shen Yuntan had never been interested in women, so he snorted and pretended not to see it. However, Tianxiu was a chivalrous woman and quickly interrupted.
"What are you saying, little sister? Don't be angry, my beautiful nineteen. If you get angry too much, you'll get wrinkles and won't be pretty anymore."
Shen Yun replied in a nonchalant tone.
"Even with a face full of wrinkles, she's still very beautiful at nineteen."
Gu Yan sobbed, glancing at Tang Shijiu, but dared not get up. Tang Shijiu sighed, sheathed his broadsword, and said, "Your husband is in the room, why don't you go back and find him? Junior Brother Xu is a thoughtful person, he tends to keep things bottled up inside, don't let him overthink things."
Gu Yan curtsied to Tang Shijiu and hurried upstairs.
Tianxiu watched her go up with a smile, her slender fingers curling up as she tapped the table: "Nineteen, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Yun gave him a cold look: "You just arrived, but you're already well-informed."
Tianxiu suppressed her smile and said in a low voice, "Do you know why Jinhu City is so oppressive today? Last night, more than forty people from Jinhu Manor were all torn to pieces by Shenyin, leaving no one alive."
Shen Yuntan's body stiffened, and he suddenly looked up, staring at Tianxiu with a stern expression: "Hidden in the shadows?"
Tianxiu smiled again: "Yes, the method of invisibility is exactly the same."
He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. Both he and Shen Yuntan knew Shen Yin's true identity. Shen Yuntan and Tang Shijiu had only arrived in Jinhu City today and had no chance of making a move. However, the methods used by Jinhu Manor were indeed exactly the same as the horrific crimes committed by Shen Yin in the past.
kill.
Dismemberment.
Not a single one was left.
The master spent his entire life searching for a cultivation method he had only briefly encountered in his youth, but he never obtained it before his death. He was extremely confident in his intelligence and vowed to create one in his lifetime. Creation inevitably involves experimentation. Shen Yuntan, Tianshu, and Tianxiu were the victims of this experimentation.
Master truly lived up to his reputation as a legendary genius who once dominated the martial arts world. The mental cultivation techniques he created were unpredictable and extremely strange, and all three disciples excelled in them. However, these techniques were, after all, imperfect, and practicing them for too long inevitably led to backlash.
When it came to Shen Yun, his murderous intent was unleashed.
Once he gets into a killing frenzy, his mind seems to be controlled by a demon, and he uncontrollably dismembers everyone he can kill, one by one, until the thick blood brings him back to his senses.
Nineteen, thinking of Shen Yuntan, exclaimed, "Jinhu Villa? Then Yuntan's relatives!!!" Turning around, she saw Shen Yuntan's pale face and thought he had been shocked by the bad news.
Upon hearing this, Tianxiu chuckled.
"I'm naturally concerned about Yun Tan's matter. Don't worry, my beautiful nineteenth daughter, I've already brought Yun Tan's uncle out. He's my coachman now." He went out like a gust of wind and soon brought back a scarred old man.
The old man had a head full of scars, cloudy yellow eyes, and his speech was not very fluent.
Tianxiu said with a righteous expression, "Yun Tan, come here and call me uncle. Your uncle misses you so much that he's developed dementia!"
The old man spoke in a deep, muffled voice, squinting at Yun Tan and then at Nineteen. Suddenly, tears streamed down his face as he grabbed Shen Yun Tan's hand and said, "Nephew, it's been eighteen years since you left. Your uncle has missed you so much." He then pulled at Nineteen, saying, "Good! Good! This time you've come back, and even your niece-in-law is here. Your uncle can die in peace now."
Tianxiu laughed heartily, looking at Shen Yuntan's pale face: "Yuntan, why aren't you kneeling down and calling me uncle?"
The old man cried his heart out, and although Nineteen couldn't quite understand what he was saying, his eyes also reddened.
Shen Yuntan smiled insincerely: "Tianxiu is truly my classmate and good friend. I didn't even know when I had a relative from Panyu."
Just moments ago, Shijiu was teary-eyed, but upon hearing this, she paused, then thought about it carefully and found it rather strange. Yun Tan always spoke standard Mandarin with no accent. Tianxiu and Tianshu were the same; it was impossible to tell where they were from. However, it was said that people from the Panyu area of southern Vietnam had rather heavy accents, making it extremely difficult to learn Mandarin. Even among Panyu people who served as officials in the capital, very few spoke Mandarin without an accent.
Thinking about it that way, he realized he was being a bit ridiculous. Nineteen chuckled awkwardly, withdrew his hand, and wiped his eyes.
Tianxiu had originally intended to make things difficult for Shen Yuntan, but unexpectedly, this blunder occurred, leaving him speechless. He could only laugh it off, saying, "I was too eager to help my friend, so I made a mistake, a mistake." After saying that, he quickly turned around and sent the old man out again.
Shen Yuntan coldly watched Tianxiu go in and out, then abruptly cut to the chase: "Why did Jinhu Manor suffer such a disaster? Do you have any clues?"
Tianxiu put away his playful smile and said seriously, "Rumor has it that Jinhu Manor has obtained the 'Tuanfu Heart Method'." As expected, Shen Yuntan's expression changed drastically.
The Tuanfu Mind Method is the mental technique that their master sought throughout his life!
