Chapter 327 Coming to the door
The afternoon sun slanted across Tianjian Peak, soft and lazy.
Jiang Wanying was practicing sword, while Xu Hanyi sat beside her, quietly looking at the setting sun in the sky.
"It's already this late, why hasn't Chuan'er come back yet?"
Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Lin Chuan would go to Tianyao Peak before, but he would only come back after half a day. It was not like now, where he would leave in the morning and still not come back until almost evening.
"The later Ah Chuan comes back, the more his alchemy skills have improved, right? This is a good thing, Master should be happy."
Jiang Wanying put away the long sword in her hand, her drooping hair swaying slightly with her movements, and her words were full of comfort.
"You, if Chuan'er ran away with someone one day, you would be happy for him."
Xu Hanyi shook his head helplessly, with a hint of joking in his tone.
"No, even if Ah Chuan runs away with someone else, he will still have me in his heart."
The mountain breeze blew past, gently lifting the loose hair on Jiang Wanying's temples.
"Could it be that Chuan'er told you this?"
Xu Hanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her gaze seemed to be filled with some inquiry.
After the brief conversation last night, Xu Hanyi keenly noticed that Jiang Wanying's attitude towards the people around Lin Chuan had gradually faded away from her previous resistance.
She guessed that the reason for all this was closely related to Lin Chuan's whispering.
"Achuan did say that, but I also truly felt the weight I held in his heart."
Jiang Wanying spoke with a firm tone, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Then Ying'er isn't afraid. Even if Chuan'er has you in his heart, why does he still stay with other people all day?"
Xu Hanyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of tentativeness in his words.
"Fear."
Jiang Wanying nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, as long as Ying'er and I protect Chuan'er together, this kind of thing will never happen."
Xu Hanyi had a soothing smile on his face, his eyes full of determination.
"If something like this really happens in the future, what will Master do?"
Jiang Wanying's eyes were fixed on Xu Hanyi, her tone full of inquiry.
"Of course, I will capture Chuan'er and keep him by my side."
A hint of paranoia flashed across Xu Hanyi's eyes, and he answered without hesitation.
"Does she think so now?" Jiang Wanying lowered her eyes and whispered.
"..."
"Ying'er, are you sympathizing with that woman?"
Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and vigilance in his tone.
"No, I'm just wondering if she likes Ah Chuan or not. If she doesn't, why does she keep pestering Ah Chuan? If she does, the thing we all fear has happened to her, so why is she so indifferent and has never even come to her door?"
Jiang Wanying moved to Xu Hanyi's side and slowly sat down.
"..."
Xu Hanyi stared blankly at the horizon for a long time before saying, "Perhaps she is just afraid of my strength and doesn't want to embarrass herself."
She didn't even realize that her tone contained a great deal of insecurity when she finished speaking.
After all, she knew whether Qingshu liked Lin Chuan or not, and she also had some vague guesses as to why Qingshu didn't take the initiative to find Lin Chuan.
But she didn't want to think about it too much. It was like this in the past and it is like this now.
"..."
Jiang Wanying sat quietly by the side, pursed her lips and said no more, leaving only a silent atmosphere between the two of them.
After a long while, Xu Hanyi looked at the blood-red sunset in the sky, sighed softly, and said, "I'm going to Tianyao Peak to see Chuan'er and pick him up by the way."
"Ah? How about Master take a break and I'll go get it?"
Jiang Wanying's expression changed slightly, and she quickly made a suggestion.
"No, I want to go and see Chuan'er making the elixir myself."
Xu Hanyi shook his head slightly.
"Then I'll go with Master. I miss Achuan a little too."
Jiang Wanying spoke hurriedly. She wasn't sure if Lin Chuan was concentrating on refining the elixir or doing something else. But if she could go with her master, if it turned out as she feared, even if she couldn't change the situation, she could at least protect Lin Chuan from Xu Hanyi's punishment.
"Okay then, let's go see Chuan'er together."
……
Tianyao Peak.
The setting sun gradually sinks to the west, and the orange afterglow spreads across the mountain tops.
Lin Chuan lay lazily on the ground, Li Yue leaned lightly in his arms, her eyes lightly closed, her breathing even and slow, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks, and a faint smile of relief hanging at the corner of her mouth.
This place was indeed as Liyue had described, the scenery beyond words. The medicinal herbs that covered the hills swayed gently in the breeze, and the sunset glow on the horizon was dazzling, contrasting beautifully with the green hills and trees.
Lin Chuan also kept his promise and did nothing else. He just lay there quietly, letting Li Yue lean comfortably in his arms.
"Shouldn't you go back? Otherwise, Xu Hanyi might come looking for you."
Li Yue slowly opened her eyes and reminded softly.
"Sister Li, have you rested well?"
Lin Chuan tilted his head slightly, looked at Li Yue in his arms tenderly, and asked softly with a faint smile on his lips.
"If I say I haven't rested enough, will you stay and continue to accompany me?"
Li Yue looked at the setting sun that was about to sink into the sea of clouds and asked in a joking yet somewhat serious tone.
"of course."
Lin Chuan responded without hesitation.
"Are you not afraid of Xu Hanyi?"
Li Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Don't be afraid, this family is my decision."
Lin Chuan said with confidence.
"Okay, then don't go back tonight."
Li Yue blinked and stared at Lin Chuan intently, watching his reaction.
"..."
Lin Chuan was slightly startled, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he quickly gritted his teeth and looked determined, "Okay, I won't go back."
"That won't do. Even if you're not afraid, I am. If Xu Hanyi knew you were staying the night at my place, he would probably come right over..."
As Li Yue was speaking, her expression suddenly changed. She looked into the distance in panic, and her body unconsciously tensed up.
"what happened?"
Lin Chuan's heart tightened when he noticed something was wrong with Liyue.
"Xu...Xu Hanyi is really here..."
Li Yue's voice trembled, her eyes filled with panic.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan's heart skipped a beat and a sense of nervousness instantly surged into his heart.
Without time to think, he quickly embraced Li Yue who was still lying in his arms, and sat up with a push.
But the moment he sat up, he realized something was wrong.
"Sister Li, why don't you seem scared at all?"
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue who was still leaning in his arms with her arms tightly around him and asked unhappily.
"I thought your immediate reaction when you heard Xu Hanyi coming was to throw me away and stay away from me."
Li Yue raised her head and looked straight at Lin Chuan, with a gleam in her eyes.
“Do I look like that kind of person?”
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his face full of helplessness.
"Luckily you're not, otherwise... oh no, Xu Hanyi is really here to find me!"
