[Chapter 21 - Mountain of a thousand sunsets(1)] Don't sleep the whole day away!

It was already late at night after the rooms were changed. Shen Qian Ling, wrapped in his blanket, tossed and turned on the bed, falling asleep only when the day was getting bright. Moreover, his sleeping pose was very nasty; not only did his legs kick everywhere, he even dazedly snuggled into Qin Shao Yu's arms.

Qin Shao Yu frowned slightly, and just as he reached out his arm to push him away, Shen Qian Ling's face immediately took on a look of indignation, and he hugged tighter while mumbling to himself.

....

"Wear your clothes properly." Qin Shao Yu patted his back.

Shen Qian Ling whined, and tightened his arms and legs on his body, then started to snore contentedly.

Qin Shao Yu shook his head helplessly, and pulled over the blanket to cover him up properly.

On the morning of the second day, the people of Dominion of Shadow Chasers noisily finished their breakfast in the main hall. Seeing that the sun was already high up in the sky and they still had not managed to wait till Qin Shao Yu and Shen Qian Ling appeared, they all started to let their imaginations run wild and speculate wildly, one getting more excited than the other.

"Say, why do you think sect leader and master Shen still hasn't woken up now?" Hua Tang, biting the chopstick, stirred up chaos.

"That's right, sect leader has always woken up early." Fan Yan thought with a frown, and suddenly shouted "Ah ya", and slammed the table.

The bowls and plates instantly flew half feet high. Yao Qian was splashed with a face full of tea, and angrily said, "Did you eat the wrong medicine again?"

"Could sect leader and Mister Shen have been ambushed?" Fan Yan gasped, obviously stunned by this realization.

Yao Qian: "........."

Everyone else: "........."

Fan Tan Zhu, you're really pure.

"That's right too." Hua Tang frowned gravely, "Although sect leader is highly skilled, it's not impossible that he was entrapped by the demonic sect; why don't you go up and take a look?"

"Then what are you still here for, let's go together." Yan Fan abruptly slapped his thigh, and turned and ran up the stairs.

Hua Tang, with a look of panic, also took her sword and followed him, as if Qin Shao Yu was kidnapped already.

But she just wanted to look for a chance to see the scene live.

That's why the left chief is still the best in the end. All the subordinates were so excited to the point of tears: This kind of chance doesn't come by easily. Thus everyone noisily and livelily rushed towards the building in the backyard.

The waiter was extremely surprised upon seeing the scene, "Has something big happened?"

Yao Qian hmphed coldly, and slammed his teacup on the table.

A proper and upstanding sect leader, fornicating during the day, what’s next!

And in the bedroom in the backyard, Shen Qian Ling was currently sleeping with a face of a drunkard, and even had a nice dream.

He brought Qin Shao Yu with him back to modern society, and it really can't be any more wonderful than seeing him in the circ.u.mstances of being helpless and at a loss. It really makes one want to roar in laughter.

Shen Xiao Shou muttered in foolish happiness.

"What are you dreaming of?" Qin Shao Yu pinched his nape, asking with a slight smile.

Shen Qian Ling s.h.i.+ed away, continuing to lie on him and sleep.

A burst of noise suddenly erupted outside the room. Qin Shao Yu frowned and grabbed onto his sword hilt, cautiously determining what had happened with rapt attention.

"Sect leader!" Fan Yan roared magnificently, raised his leg and kicked with a bang.

The wooden door made a loud noise. Shen Qian Ling shook in fright, and sat up clumsily.

"Wow." The rest of the subordinates covered their eyes, because fu-ren wasn’t wearing anything.

This was actually a total misunderstanding, Shen Qian Ling was a menace when sleeping, so it was very normal for his s.h.i.+rt to be rubbed off. But obviously everyone wouldn’t be thinking like this. Fu-ren really looked fair and delicate, hopefully he wasn't overwhelmed yesterday.

Tears filled Hua Tang's eyes, she had really earned it.

Yao Ren's face was ashen, and he snorted loudly once.

But no one took notice of him at all.

This was the pits.

"Don't be scared." Qin Shao Yu covered him with the blanket, turned his eyes around and looked coldly towards the entrance, gloom in his eyes, obviously foreshadowing something.

Hua Tang put her qing gong to full use and turned around and ran. The rest of the subordinates also disappeared in an instant.

Fan Yan: "..........."

Yao Qian: "Hmph!"

"Fan Tang Zhu(2), care to explain?" Qin Shao Yu's tone was ice cold.

Tears flowed down Fan Yan's eyes. "Another demotion?" Clearly he was still Tan Zhu just a moment ago.

"If this happens again, then accompany w.a.n.g Ah Ma in sweeping the floor." Qin Shao Yu didn't leave a bit of face to him.

Fan Tang Zhu's heart instantly shattered to pieces, and looked at Yao Qian miserably -- Quickly help me plead for leniency.

"Sweeping the floor is rather a waste of his talents." Yao Qian was expectedly loyal. "It's fine for him to cook instead."

Yan Fan sputtered.

"Leave." Qin Shao Yu closed the door with a wave.

"Orh." Yan Fan covered his nose.

"Imbecile." Yao Qian glanced at him in askance.

Yan Fan was miffed. "You sure are clever, why did you follow me up like that?"

Yao Qian glared at him angrily, then left at a fast pace.

Yan Fan felt maligned: Just how did I offend him.....

"Come out, they have all left." In the room, Qin Shao Yu patted Shen Qian Ling.

"Why did they run in?" Shen Qian Ling stuck out his head and grumbled.

"Probably because they wanted to see you." Qin Shao Yu raised a brow.

Shen Qian Ling became angrier upon hearing it, "What is there to look at me for."

"You are my fu-ren, of course you're good looking." Qin Shao Yu teased him.

Shen Qian Ling, wrapped in the blanket, rolled to the wall, "Let's not hurry on the road today, I'm tired."

"Alright, I will bring you out for a walk after finis.h.i.+ng breakfast." Qin Shao Yu said, "The scenery at Qian Mu Mountain west of the city is extremely beautiful, and since we are here, we must go to appreciate and enjoy the view."

"I'm not climbing the mountain." Shen Qian Ling's level of laziness had reached a new level.

"No need to climb." Qin Shao Yu knocked his head, "I'll bring you up."

Shen Qian Ling paused, then buried his head in the pillow and began laughing.

"What are you thinking of again?" Qin Shao Yu asked.

Shen Qian Ling shook his head, and laughed even louder.

The ability to be a bring-your-own cable car is really high level.

"Say it." Qin Shao Yu's eyes narrowed, and his tone also rose slightly.

Shen Qian Ling praised genuinely, "This warrior, you are really handsome, such that you're practically like a jade tree with a -- ah."

Don't poke people's waist anyhow, it's very itchy alright.

Hahahahahahahelp.

The underlings outside the courtyard heard their fu-ren's laughter, and all couldn't help but deeply ponder about them, reaching their necks into the courtyard to take a look. Being so affectionate already before getting married, we are not jealous even one bit.

A moment later, Qin Shao Yu came out of the room, radiating happiness.

And another moment later, Shen Qian Ling, face red and eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, followed him out with weak steps.

"Si." The guards on the roof sucked in a cold breath. Don't show excessive debauchery in such an obvious manner. He can't even walk properly already; fu-ren really looked pitiful. Just as the rumors in Jianghu say, he was a delicate beauty.

After finis.h.i.+ng a simple breakfast, Qin Shao Yu got someone to rein in Ta Xue Bai, and forcefully dragged Shen Qian Ling up on it.

"I would rather sleep in the inn." Shen Qian Ling complained. Earlier there was still some sun so the scenery could be seen, but now the sky was dark and gloomy, it was clearly more suited to rolling into bed, and moreover he didn't wake up properly in the morning.

"You can't always sleep the whole day away." Qin Shao Yu got on the horse, circling a hand around his waist.

Beauties brought about calamity since time immemorial... The nearby subordinates looked at the back of the two of them, sighing silently inside. To think that fu-ren actually really liked to do that thing; after finis.h.i.+ng breakfast he was already shouting to sleep again — in the long term, how could sect leader withstand it?

It was really worrying.

Ta Xue Bai didn't need urging before it started into a trot, refres.h.i.+ng and lively.

Qian Mu Mountain wasn't far from the city, so it was not long before the two of them reached the foot of the hill. There was a tea house at the crossroads. A white haired old man was tending to the fire with his back bent, his legs looking a bit stiff.

"Let's go and drink some tea and eat some noodles." Shen Qian Ling was softhearted.

Qin Shao Yu laughed, "We just had breakfast."

So what. Shen Qian Ling was very stubborn. He got off the horse and walked directly over, and asked for two bowls of noodles and a pot of tea, and asked for some melon seeds and peanuts, then poked Qin Shao Yu.

Qin Shao Yu knowingly took out a silver ingot.

More poking.

Qin Shao Yu took out a banknote.

Shen Qian Ling patted his shoulder, satisfied, then turned and gave the money to the old man.

As the old man cooked the noodles, he shook his head with a smile.

"It's no matter, what he has is money." Seeing that he was not taking it, Shen Qian Ling thought he found it embarra.s.sing, and so he said proudly, "This is a 'contribution' from a rich person."

"Young mister is not from here, right?" The old man carried two bowls over to the table, "Looks unfamiliar."

"Yes, we came from other places." Shen Qian Ling was actually not hungry at all, so he pushed the noodles to in front of Qin Shao Yu, "Finish them, don't waste it."

Qin Shao Yu: "......."

Shen Qian Ling took a wild fruit to chew on, unperturbed.

"Since this is so, you should accept it." As the old man boiled water, he sighed seemingly without purpose, "Can't return anymore."

Qin Shao Yu still continued to eat the noodles with his head down, but Shen Qian Ling balked upon hearing it.

The old man chuckled, squatting on the ground and gathering firewood together.

With an ominous premonition, Shen Qian Ling threw down his peanuts and stood up, and walked over and crouched gently next to him.

Qin Shao Yu thought that he went to help out of kindness, and didn't take much notice.

"Does this mister have something to say?" The old man looked at him amusedly.

"Can't return.....what does it mean?" Shen Qian Ling's heart was about to jump out.

"Because you don't want to return." The old man said mysteriously, "This is the will of heaven."

"I can still return?" Shen Qian Ling was wild with joy, and so anxious that the rims of his eyes turned red.

"Don't panic." The old man patted his arm, and took out a small cloth pouch from the firewood, "This mister's heart is honest and generous, and ought to have heaven's blessing."

Shen Qian Ling felt through the pouch, puzzlement in his eyes.

"The fate between you and I can only end here." The old man held onto the stove and stood up. "In the future when that day arrives, to leave or to stay, it's all on you."

"What day would that be?" Shen Qian Ling was eager.

"The mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed, or I would have my life shortened." The old man looked at him with a smile, a hint of slyness pa.s.sing through his eyes.

Shen Qian Ling still wanted to ask something, but Qin Shao Yu had already walked over. "Ling-er."

".......Yes." Shen Qian Ling calmed his emotions down, and walked around the wood pile outside.

"Why are the rims of your eyes red?" Qin Shao Yu frowned.

"Felt the old man was pitiful." Shen Qian Ling focused on getting his mind to calm down. "To have to do all these things at such an old age."

"You sure are kind." Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheek. "Let's go, we are going up the mountain."

Shen Qian Ling turned back and looked at the old man.

"It's probably going to rain on the mountain, be careful." The old man hummed a small tune, keeping the money, obviously not intending to say anything more.

Shen Qian Ling pressed on the pouch in his sleeve, sighing internally, then left the tea shack with Qin Shao Yu in the end.

Since some things couldn’t be rushed, then there was no way but to resign oneself to fate.
