Ink Blade Chapter 32 (Part 2)
Translated by Sylver
Gu Worm (part 2)
He helped Mo Ren up, it was said to be helping, but he almost hugged half his body, turned his head and said coldly, "Ying Yu!"
Ying Yu hurriedly retracted his sword into its sheath, "Ah, Xiao Yu is here!"
"Buy this Gu worm, this Master will take your elder brother back first."
"Yes…..ah?"
A money bag was thrown over and fell into the hands of the little guardian. Ying Yu was in a daze, watching helplessly as the palace master half-supported and half-dragged his elder brother Mo out…
Leaving him and the little old man in the shop staring at each other with confused thoughts. "Ah...?"
This, this, this…..ah??
Why does it seem that something is not quite right since seeing the Palace Master and Elder Brother this time??
****
Chu Yan dragged Mo Ren out of the shop, and when the wind blew in his face, the anger quickly dissipated, leaving only the lingering fear.
He was really terrified just now...Mo Ren falling down limply in front of him, and at present he seemed to be replaying the arm that tried to reach out but was powerless to hang down, even the trajectory of his pale fingertips sliding down seemed to have substance.
At that moment, the severe pain that erupted in his heart under the extreme panic seemed to tear his entire chest apart.
Even Chu Yan himself didn't expect the pain to be like that. He didn't expect that Ah Ren had already been planted into his heart and bone marrow, and that even if fiddled lightly, it would be extremely painful.
After walking a few more steps in silence, Chu Yan's Adam's apple moved, and he turned his head and asked the man in a hoarse voice, "..Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
"This subordinate is fine." Mo Ren was supported by Chu Yan all the way, and people were coming and going on the streets and alleys on both sides. He was already terrified in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out because he was afraid that his master was still angry.
Seeing that Chu Yan's tone loosened at this time, he hastily made an effort to hint, "Master, this subordinate can walk..."
Chu Yan glanced at him, and said flatly, "Know, know you're capable, probably after taking two steps, you'll fall again."
Mo Ren: "......."
Chu Yan: "Feeling ashamed? Didn't you ask for a punishment? This is the punishment."
After a pause, he hummed again in a low voice, "This Master is tolerant enough, if this Master did not want to save you some face, this Master will directly use lightness skills to carry you back."
Mo Ren was silent again. He obviously didn't want...or didn't have the confidence to continue to be entangled with his master on this issue, thus changed the subject abruptly, "Master, that Gu worm has a light fragrance on it, which seems to be able to mess with people's minds. Just now, this subordinate has only taken two breaths, and after he felt dizzy and manic depressed. If someone inadvertently inhaled it for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chu Yan nodded. "Hm, this Master understands, in a few days, Ying Dian will come over, just in time and buy it back for that girl to play."
As he spoke, he lightly looked at Mo Ren's side face again. Ah Ren's words stirred up the fear that had only calmed down a little in his heart, and he became restless and agitated.
Consequences will be unimaginable…..huh?
Chu Yan's eyes darkened. It was not until then that he truly realized first hand that he could no longer see Mo Ren in danger, even if it was half a minute.
This matter was very unreasonable. Ah Ren was his personal bodyguard, his sword and shield, how could it be possible not to get involved in danger and not get stained with blood?
Ah Ren himself also likes this position, he simply agreed to this person and said that if he likes it, he can hold the sword for him forever. He just simply agreed.
But he seems to have agreed wrongly.
Chu Yan lowered his head, and bitterly curled his lips in secret at an angle that Mo Ren could not see.
At this moment, he was finally soberly aware of the change in his mentality——
Yes, when they were teenagers, he could give all his trust to send Ah Ren on the most dangerous missions.
And knowing that there was a change in the mission, he could gallop three hundred miles through the cold winter to find someone personally and bring them back. Upon finding that Ah Ren had been bullied, he could take his sword all the way to the top of a mountain of another sect to avenge the little guard.
But now he had changed, he no longer wanted to send Ah Ren on any dangerous missions. Just thinking about the worst consequences made his heart tremble.
He felt that Ah Ren was already covered with scars, and he could no longer bear to see another scar on this body. He just wanted to pamper, protect, and raise him carefully.
In summer, there should be cool jade beds, small round fans, and crushed ice sour plum soup; in winter, there should be Jiaofeng Temple, red charcoal stoves, and heated wines.
He used to like to see the way Mo Ren held a sword and killed the enemy, and he also liked to see the cold and sharp eyes of the black-clothed guard after being soaked in blood.
Blood would drip from the guard's long black hair, and would drip from the pale nose, chin, and fingers. The guard never cared about the blood, he would just simply put the sword back into its sheath, turned over and knelt down, and calmly stated the situation to him.
But now…..terrible, just thinking that situation made him go crazy. Where on earth did this person get so much blood to shed? And how on earth did he manage to report without expression while being covered in wounds all over his body!?
This person—can't this person learn to show weakness and cry out in pain? Can't you just smile at him more? You can do it to Qiu Jin and Ying Yu, but why is it so difficult for him!?
"......."
Chu Yan gently closed his eyes, and let out a sigh on his lips.
——In the past, he appreciated, relied on and respected Mo Ren...but not anymore.
"Master?" Mo Ren whispered hesitantly.
Chu Yan came back to his senses, the street in front of him was already familiar, and they would arrive at the inn soon. He merely waved his hand. "Nothing."
Suddenly, thinking of the uncontrollable kiss in the inn early in the morning, Chu Yan knew what his current emotions were.
Mo Ren began to speak but hesitated. Chu Yan smiled at him reassuringly, and patted the guard's wrist as if nothing had happened. "Okay, still panicking? That angry talk in the store just now, will this Master really dare do anything to you?"
Now...
Now, it's just love that I dare not express in words.
