Everywhere In Jianghu Is Wonderful Chapter 16

Kindly edited by Please do thank them!

[Chapter 16 - It's not a must to marry!] But we must go down south!

When the two of them had drank their teas halfway, they suddenly heard an angry voice from downstairs, "Qin Shao Yu!"

The voice is feminine; one knows who it is immediately.

Shen Qian Ling hid the embroidered sack nosily, his speed extremely fast.
Qin Shao Yu held onto his forehead and laughed.
Shen Qian Ling glared at him.
I'm helping you to hide stolen property, alright!

"Qin Shao Yu." Yin Luo Xue charged forward imposingly, "Return the item to me!"

"Return what?" Sect leader Qin's face is full of cluelessness.

Shen Qian Ling made the same innocent face, and looked at Yin Luo Xue with him.
It's the picture of marital harmony.

Looking at the blank faces of the two people in front of him, Yin Luo Xue's anger is basically boiling over, "The snow-colored gla.s.s is a sacred item of Wu Xue Men. How can it fall into someone else's hands?"

Qin Shao Yu, "Oh."

Shen Qian Ling, ".....Oh."

"Hand it over." Yin Luo Xue lifted his hand and brought down his palm, striking the table.
Shen Qian Ling's mouth twitched; he's really very violent.

"Even as the sect leader of Zhui Yin sect you can do something as despicable as pilfering." Yin Xue Luo can't restrain his rage, "Utterly shameless."

"Pilfering?" Qin Shao Yu's voice is serene, but his eyes turned colder, "You said that I took something of yours, so where's the evidence?"

"You were the only one who touched me just now; if you didn't take it, then did the snow-colored gla.s.s run away on its own?" Yin Luo Xue placed a hand on his hips.
　
"I have touched you before?" Qin Shao Yu's smile didn't reach his eyes. He reached a hand out and pulled Shen Qian Ling into his arm, "As if. In the whole world, I will only touch him alone."

Shen Qian Ling froze, but he can't stir up an internal quarrel at critical times either, so he could only sit on his lap.

A distance away, the spectators who didn't fear death grew excited. This kind of scene is rarely seen, and they have definitely caught a glimpse of something good; young master Shen is truly delicate and loveable.

"You." Yin Luo Xue was almost angered into fainting, knowing in his heart that he was being taken advantage of, but was still unable to retort, his entire face turning red.

On the other hand, Shen Qian Ling felt somewhat apologetic. It's not right to steal other people's things after all. When he cleared his throat, preparing to smooth to things over, Yin Luo Xue suddenly looked at him and scolded, "Vixen!"

Shen Qian Ling was shocked and angered. You can't win against him so you scold me; do you still have your principles as a person?

Feeling petty, he clutched the embroidered pouch even more tightly.

"I will get it back one day." There's no winning in challenging Qin Shao Yu alone, and no end to this deadlock either; Yin Luo Xue clenched his teeth, turning around angrily and leaving down the stairs.

"The mood is spoiled, we should change to another place." Qin Shao Yu threw down an silver ingot, carried Shen Qian Ling and jumped out from the window.

It's incredibly suave.

"Hey." Shen Qian Ling paled in fright, instinctively reaching out to grab on his neck.

It's so affectionate.

The spectators all started applauding.

That very afternoon, rumors of "sect leader Qin angrily rebuked Yin Luo Xue in public, Mister Shen bashfully whined" spread around like fire; all said that the scene at the time was extremely moving, almost to the point of tears.

Thus when the two of them return to Riyue sect that night, whether be it the odd jobs worker, the guards, or the maids and aunties, their extremely obvious looks towards the two of them all held vague, hazy, provocative implications.

Shen Qian Ling, a sugar-coated hawthorn in his mouth, was very puzzled, "Have they been possessed?"

Qin Shao Yu shook his head, wiping away the remnants of the sweet at the corner of his mouth.

"Ha ha ha." Shen Qian Qian laughed candidly, appearing like an apparition.

Shen Qian Ling jumped in fright, "Where did you come from?"

"Truly a match made in heaven." Shen Qian Qian praised with a sigh, "I'm so jealous."

Shen Qian Ling stuffed the sugar-coated hawthorn into his mouth, and irately floated away.

"Ha ha ha." Shen Qian Qian is still laughing, "Ling-er must be embarra.s.sed."

In the small courtyard, Bao Dou is currently looking outside anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qian Ling is puzzled.

"Ai ya young master, you're finally back." Bao Dou sighed in relief, "Sect leader and mistress have been waiting in the room for you."

"Waiting for me?" Shen Qian Ling was shocked to hearing this.

"That's right, they said they have something to discuss." Bao Dou helped to tidy up his clothes, and continued quietly, "But they seemed to be in a good mood, so no need to worry, young master."

What matters are there that must be discussed today? With apprehension in his heart, Shen Qian Ling pushed the door and went into the living room.

"Ling-er ah." Lady Shen grabbed his hand joyously, "Why didn't you play outside a little longer?"

Shen Qian Ling is bewildered. Since they were waiting, shouldn't they have been antic.i.p.ating that he returned earlier?

"Come over here." Sect leader Shen is also in an obvious good mood, looking awe-inspiring and bold in the eyes of an outsider.

"Did you have fun, going out with Shao Yu today?" Sect leader Shen asked.

Lady Shen also looked at him enthusiastically.

Shen Qian Ling had a headache, "What did you hear this time?"

"It's not important what we have heard, what's important is that I got your father to secretly bring me to see you. You are very affectionate with him." Lady Shen's words are quite shocking.

Sect leader Shen also chuckled.

Shen Qian Ling's chin fell to the ground, "You....."

"If we had not gone, how could we have seen him feed you?" Lady Shen is obviously very satisfied.

It was just that one time, how did you see it. Tears flowed down Shen Qian Ling's face, and this time was because he couldn't refute it.

"Since we saw that you two were like this, mother is at ease." Lady Shen is gratified.

You cannot be at ease! Shen Qian Ling's head throbbed. If you're at ease then I have to marry!

"I have discussed it with your mother just now. We intend to let you go down south with Shao Yu as soon as possible." Sect leader Shen said, "It's the warm spring and flowering season now; you will suffer less of the bitter cold."

"Go down south?" Shen Qian Ling was stunned.

"The poison in the your body cannot be delayed anymore." Sect leader Shen said, "I will send someone to protect you along the way, so there's no need to worry."

"But I absolutely don't want to marry him." Shen Qian Ling rejected it.

"Childish." Lady Shen poked his head, not taking his words seriously.

"Mother." Shen Qian Ling still wanted to reason it out more, but sect leader Shen had already discreetly pinched his hand, interrupting him, "You have gone out to play for an entire day, so rest earlier tonight. Let us discuss the rest of the matters tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Shen Qian Ling hesitated, feeling as if his father's eyes still bear some uncertainty.

That night, Qin Shao Yu was dragged off by Shen Qian Qian to drink wine, and so he didn't come to the small courtyard again.

At midnight, as Shen Qian Ling was hugging his blanket, lost in thought, he was suddenly pulled up from bed by someone.

"Father." After seeing who it was, Shen Qian Ling wasn't that surprised.

"Your mother was present this evening; some things can only be said now." Sect leader Shen sat by the bed, saying straightforwardly, "You really don't want to marry Shao Yu?"

Shen Qian Ling firmly nodded his head. Who wants to marry a man for no reason? And he's so evil, jumping out of windows at a drop of a hat.

"You're unwilling; father is also unwilling." Sect leader Shen sighed, "If it weren't for his internal energy being inclined towards yang, I absolutely wouldn't agree to this marriage."

"Then what can be done now?" Shen Qian Ling asked.

"I have already persuaded him to bring you to the southern seas and find divine physician Gui Shou to remove the poison." Sect leader Shen said, "Naturally it's good if he can be found, but if he can't be found, then father will think of another way for you."

Shen Qian Ling hesitated, "If the poison acts up --"

"Father won't let anything happen to you." Sect leader Shen interrupted him, "If you don't wish to marry, no one will force you, but until the poison is removed, certain things take priority; you must know your limits."

So he needs to use Qin Shao Yu to bring himself to the southern seas?
After sect leader Shen left, Shen Qian Ling felt subtly complicated.
No matter what, it's not good to make use of other people's feelings.
Shen Qian Ling threw himself down on the bed, sighing with melancholy.
Many things pa.s.sed through his mind, thus time also pa.s.sed by more quickly than usual; just when he had barely closed his eyes, it had already become morning.

"Is young master getting up?" Bao Dou stood by the door and asked.

Shen Qian Ling shook his head, turning around and covering himself with the blanket. Tired.

"But Lady Shen is here." Bao Dou said.

"Mother?" Shen Qian Ling sat up from the bed.

"Ling-er." Lady Shen came in holding her dress, looking to be in a good mood.

"Why so early." Shen Qian Ling yawned.

"You are just lazy." Lady Shen pinched his ears, "What time is it now?"

It's beneficial for one's health to laze around in bed, Shen Qian Ling retorted in his heart.

"Mother already wanted to come and find you last night." Lady Shen said.

"Last night?" Internally, Shen Qian Ling got a shock upon hearing this; thankfully you didn't come, or else you would have met father.

"Such a weak disposition you have, and by that logic mother shouldn't let you go to the southern seas." Lady Shen sighed, "But apart from this, there's no other way to remove your poison."

"Mother." Shen Qian Ling couldn't bear hearing her sigh.
　　　　
"Your uncle got someone to bring this medicine here; you must remember to eat one pill a month." Lady Shen pa.s.sed him a porcelain bottle, "Even if it can't remove your poison, it will still be good for your body."

"Yes." Shen Qian Ling received it obediently.
　
"And this, it was part of the dowry given by your grandfather for me." Lady Shen placed a small box on the table, "Bi Lu Tong is a rare medicinal jade; not only can bringing it along prevent poisonous insects from hara.s.sing you, it can also keep you safe."

Shen Qian Ling opened the box, and saw a s.h.i.+ny circular jade; under the light of the day it s.h.i.+nes with a gentle dark green color, looking very delicate.

"Once you go, I don't know how long it will be until you can return." Lady Shen's eyes are full of reluctance, "But this is fine, too. Suffer more now, and you will be more fortunate in the future."

"Mother." Shen Qian Ling consoled her, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

"Of course nothing will happen to my Ling-er." Lady Shen patted his shoulder, "Don't be reckless during the journey; if you have grievances, remember to ask the guards to send back word of it."

Shen Qian Ling hesitated, but nodded in the end.

Here at home, his parents continue to worry about him. Why not go out and try?

Maybe his poison really will be cured.

After sending his mother away, Shen Qian Ling retrieved the small embroidered pouch from the cabinet, pulled out the snow-colored gla.s.s from yesterday, and placed it in the box, together with Bi Lu Tong.

The two similarly sized pearls seemed to be attracted to each other; instantly, they stuck together.

"Huh?" Shen Qian Ling felt a little curious, and after taking out the two tightly-stuck pearls, looked at them against the sun.

A dim, unbroken pattern appeared, travelling across the two precious stones, forming a totem-like picture.

Could they be a set? Shen Qian Ling is startled.

"Young master." Before he could figure out what was happening, Bao Dou called out from the courtyard, "First young master is here to see you."

"Alright." Shen Qian Ling quickly threw the pearls into the wooden box, stuffing it into the wardrobe along the way.
