Downstream of Longjiang

Jiejiang City Chief’s Mansion

After waving her sword around in a frenzy, Tang Nuannuan threw it aside, squatted down with her legs hugged in a corner of the practice field, and burst into tears, looking at the empty space where no one else was present.

Ever since she returned to Longzhou, every time she practiced her swordsmanship, she would remember the happy times spent with her friends in Yuanzhou.

Those girls who were like sisters to her, and the elder brother who was especially close and could instruct her in sword practice, were now all no longer by her side.

There had been times when a group would spar and practice swords together; a whole day of cultivation would pass in the blink of an eye. But now, alone, even a single moment felt painfully long.

Her mother, now with two grandsons, was no longer willing to practice swords with her. As for those so-called brothers, heh.

She didn’t like this place at all; she wanted to return to Yuanzhou, to Ying City, to be with those who truly cared for her.

“Hey, little sister, are you inside? Your second brother is here to practice sword with you!?”

“No need, just go away!”

“Oh…”

Outside the practice field, Tang Xing, the one who faced her anger, touched his nose and withdrew.

Perhaps it was really because they had been apart for too long. He could clearly feel the estrangement growing with his younger sister, an awkwardness stemming from having absolutely nothing to talk about.

Even though they were blood relatives, after the polite pleasantries were exhausted, there were no topics left to discuss.

Initially, Tang Xing thought time would heal everything, but in the end, he found that time had not been of any help at all.

They had all grown up now, each with their own matters to attend to, their own responsibilities to fulfill; even he now had to take on the duty of chief instructor at the first practice field of Jiejiang City.

They could no longer interact carefreely together as they did when they were younger, and what upset him even more was that while he had the desire to mend his relationship with Nuannuan, she didn’t seem to have any intention of accepting his efforts.

Once again rebuffed, Tang Xing returned dejectedly to his mother’s side.

“Turned away again?”

“Yeah.”

“This child, her temper is getting bigger and bigger. As a mother, I need to have a serious talk with her!”

Xu Shuhui, unhappy with her daughter’s behavior, put down her grandson and was about to go find Nuannuan, but Tang Xing stopped her.

“Forget it, mother. It’s natural for Nuannuan to feel estranged having just returned to Longzhou. Give it some more time; she’ll get better.”

Tang Xing cheerfully said, “Besides, being able to openly refuse is already much better than the initial fake politeness. I’ll visit her more often; our relationship will surely mend!”

“You’ve truly grown up, you understand things now,” Xu Shuhui said with a touch of affection as she stroked Tang Xing’s head.

“Of course, I’m already the father of two children!”

Whenever he mentioned this, Tang Xing couldn’t help but feel proud.

Perhaps it was the sudden boastfulness of the father that frightened the two children; the timid Lin’er was scared and ran crying into Xu Shuhui’s arms.

While Xu Shuhui and Tang Xing were enjoying their family moment, the housekeeper Chang Fu was already standing outside the door, knocking lightly and saying, “Madam, we have guests from Yuanzhou. The old servant has guided them to the side hall, what do you say…”

“Is it Big Cousin?”

Upon hearing that guests had arrived, Tang Xing became excited. If Tang Luo was his role model, then the suave and dashing Big Cousin, Old Ying Xu, was his goal. Naturally, when he heard that there were visitors from Yuanzhou, his first thought was of this person.

“`

“It’s not Master Yong’s young master, but it’s Young Master Xu Chengyuan!”

“Xu Chengyuan? Who’s that? I don’t know him.”

Upon hearing it wasn’t Master Yong, Tang Xing immediately lost interest and was about to turn away, but Xu Shuhui gave him a light tap on the head.

“You’re already the father of two children, how can you still be so improper.”

Xu Shuhui said with a tinge of annoyance, “Chengyuan is a year older than you, your cousin. Since childhood, he has been practicing the Five Absolute Divine Swords at the Heavenly Phoenix Dojo. Over the years, he has taken good care of Nuannuan’s Foundation Building and sword training!”

“Oh, is that so…”

Scratching his head, Tang Luo said guiltily, “I didn’t know.”

“Don’t be like your brother, developing a character so aloof and arrogant. Come on, follow me to meet Chengyuan.”

Handing over her two children to the wet nurse, Xu Shuhui straightened out her attire and stepped out of the room ahead.

After glancing at the children taken by the wet nurse, Tang Xing hurried after her, muttering quietly with his head down, “Aloof and arrogant, huh? I think big brother’s personality is quite good…”

They quickly walked towards the front courtyard, and before getting close, they heard an uncontrollably excited voice, clear as a lark singing.

“Chengyuan benevolent brother, please enjoy the tea…”

“Thank you, Sister Nuannuan.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. How come you have time to visit Longzhou, benevolent brother Chengyuan, is it…”

“Yes, I heard that Sister Nuannuan has returned to Longzhou with Auntie and thought that in the future we will have less time together, and Longzhou has few sword cultivators with great strength. So, I asked our grandmaster for a part of the Five Absolute Divine Swords manual, and also attached a Sword Seeking Record I wrote myself, hoping it could be of some help to you.”

“…Benevolent brother Chengyuan, you didn’t need to travel all the way to Longzhou just to deliver a manual, you… you’re really too kind!”

“Sending you the sword manual isn’t just to have you think well of me. This time, I also came to see if you’ve been neglecting your sword practice since returning home months ago.”

“Ah… No, no, Nuannuan practices sword every day. It’s just that my natural talent is dull, and I can’t compare with you. I’m nearing my twenty-eighth year, yet I’ve only grasped the sword intents of White Rainbow and Black Light, and as for Spiritual Power, I haven’t even touched the threshold for breaking through. Benevolent brother Chengyuan, am I very stupid?”

“Haha, if Sister Nuannuan is considered stupid for understanding two sword intents in Mortal Realm, then where in the world can we find a wise woman?”

The man’s voice laughed heartily, “The path to cultivation is long and obstructed; as long as you keep going, you’ll reach your destination. As long as you persist in your training, you’ll surely be rewarded, no need to rush!”

“Mm, thank you for the advice, benevolent brother Chengyuan.”

Outside the door, Tang Xing’s face was twisted in frustration as he tugged on his mother Xu Shuhui’s sleeve and asked, “Mother, that voice inside, it’s Little Nuannuan’s, isn’t it? I didn’t mishear, right?”

He had just gone to the training field wanting to practice sword with his sister and heard clearly the uncontrollable crying; his little sister’s temperament was extremely irritable, worlds apart from the delicate, crisp female voice presently in the main hall.

“Can’t you even recognize your own sister’s voice!”

Xu Shuhui, annoyed, extended her finger to tap the forehead of the son clinging to her sleeve and stepped into the hall.

However, the sudden intrusion of the two startled the young girl inside. Given the need for propriety between men and women, even within the family, Tang Nuannuan should maintain a distance after serving tea.

But the young girl who had finished serving tea sat down right next to the man, and upon seeing her mother and brother enter, she jumped up like a mouse that had its tail stepped on, scurrying to the side. This guilty demeanor made Xu Shuhui shake her head.

Sighing at the thought of daughters growing up and not remaining close, she gestured gently to Nuannuan. Xu Shuhui said softly to the upright young aristocrat, “If Chengyuan remembers Nuannuan to heart, he’s welcome to treat Jiejiang City as his own home and stay as long as he wants!”

“Mom~~”

Clutching Xu Shuhui’s arm, Tang Nuannuan’s face flushed red as she playfully complained.

Standing on the side and watching the three of them in harmony, feeling like an outsider, Tang Xing’s eyes reddened, and he cursed inwardly, “Pah, who’s this pretty-boy with a phony facade? He doesn’t look like a good person at all!”
