Understanding these things can be a form of self-protection, but on the other hand, it can also be a form of harm.

Tang Shijiu didn't need to know these things, nor did he need this ability to protect himself.

Because he said that Tang Shijiu was someone he wanted to protect.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Sect (Part 1)

Tang Shijiu watched the two people descend the mountain before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Shen Yun looked at her nervous expression with a smile and finally said, "Nineteen, are you that afraid I'll kill them?"

Tang Shijiu stiffened, turned her head away, and forced a smile, saying, "What?"

Shen Yun didn't allow her to look away. He reached out, lifted her chin, and looked directly into her eyes: "Nineteen, you've learned to lie. That's not good."

His smile held an indescribable ambiguity and provocation, both unfamiliar and alluring.

"Are you afraid I'll kill them? So you deliberately said those things to make me think you don't hate them, is that it?" He slowly approached, his warm breath enveloping Tang Shijiu, who was unable to move.

She could have slapped him away, she could have dodged...

However, at this moment, Shen Yun's clean smile suddenly turned wicked, even more irresistible than Tianxiu's.

"Nineteen, you've learned to lie..." His voice lowered, then lowered again, as if it were about to be buried deep in the ground. "I'm gratified, but... I'm also helpless."

"Why... do you think I would kill them in front of you?"

Tang Shijiu's blood froze instantly: "You, what did you do to them?" She almost forgot that the man in front of her was not a harmless scholar, but a ruthless killer! He could easily do whatever he wanted, killing people without her noticing, even if he didn't kill them in front of her.

The fingers that had been supporting his chin suddenly released their grip, and the alluring Shen Yuntan vanished. In the pale moonlight, however, his eyes held an even more unspeakable and palpable emotion.

"I won't kill anyone as long as you don't want to." He lowered his head, suddenly becoming as vulnerable as a child, making Nineteen unable to resist reaching out to comfort him. "I'm sorry for making you hate me. I can only try my best to change myself so you'll like me, but if you still don't like me, if you hate me... there's nothing I can do."

He seemed deeply hurt, avoiding Tang Shijiu's hand and remaining silent. Tang Shijiu had never seen Shen Yuntan like this before; in her memory, Shen Yuntan was rarely unhappy.

"Hey..." she poked Shen Yuntan's shoulder, "Don't be upset."

"..."

Tang Shijiu glanced over; he had his back to her, remained silent, and seemed genuinely angry… So she poked him again: “Still angry…”

They remained silent.

Tang Shijiu got angry: "Hey! Are you angry? Say something! If you don't say anything... I'll bite you if you don't say anything!"

Shen Yuntan, with his back turned, listened as her demeanor shifted from comforting to exasperated, and he struggled to suppress his laughter until his stomach ached.

He remained silent, and Tang Shijiu, completely enraged, lunged at him and bit him hard on the shoulder: "Bastard! Talk to me!"

That bite was no small one; it made Shen Yuntan gasp, "Grandma, you actually bit me!"

Tang Shijiu angrily retorted, "Who told you not to speak!"

Shen Yuntan put on a wronged look: "You don't like me, and I make you angry when I say things."

“Who said I don’t like you!” she blurted out.

"Huh? I can't hear you clearly, what did you say?" Yun Tan couldn't help but smile slyly.

Nineteen blushed: "You lied to me again."

"What did I lie to you about?" He leaned closer, teasing her.

"You lied to me...you lied to me..." She slapped Shen Yuntan's shoulder hard. "I really like you, I really want to hit you, I'm angry with you! But after I'm done being angry, I still can't help thinking about you! You're the worst! You're so annoying!"

She lunged forward and took another bite—this time, not with as much force.

Shen Yuntan straightened up, stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Sigh, you saw through my lie. Has my lying skills declined?"

Tang Shijiu smiled, biting her lip.

Feelings are strange things; they can make you act against your will. Often, the person you fall for is the very person you used to hate the most.

It's like, she knows he's a liar, but she still can't help not liking him.

Shen Yuntan grabbed her hand and said, "Come on! Let's hurry up the mountain, I can't wait."

"Um?"

"I can't wait to go up and meet your master, and your junior brothers and sisters. After we meet the parents, we should have a feast." His eyes were bright and excited. "Nineteen, I finally have family. You are my family."

Before anyone could react, Shen Yuntan leaned down and quickly kissed her cheek.

Tang Shijiu blushed, but showed no intention of refusing.

Shen Yun chuckled, "Tang Shijiu, so you can be shy too." He was very satisfied; this shy, embarrassed Tang Shijiu belonged only to him.

Tian Man dreamed of Senior Sister Tang, dreaming of Tang Shijiu taking him to catch loaches and making grasshoppers for him to play with. Since Tang Shijiu left, no one had been there to play with him like that.

Since Tang Shijiu left, Xiaoyao Manor has become much quieter.

In the early morning, there will no longer be that red figure going door to door urging everyone to get up and practice. And during morning practice, no one will be scolded for being lazy.

However, no one else taught them martial arts in place of their master. Instead, they slipped down the mountain, carried back a few jars of old wine, and treated everyone to drinks.

When Tang Shijiu first left, Tian Man missed her so much that she secretly cried in bed. Later, she gradually got used to it and stopped crying, only occasionally bursting into tears when she dreamed about her.

It was late at night. He had drunk a large gulp of water before going to bed and felt the urge to urinate. He got up in the dark, put on a coat, and spotted a red figure in the distance on the open ground.
