Chapter 38: The Gentle and Polite Young Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qiu Bujian was a brash person who cared little about trivial things and did not know how to read the room. He patted Ye Sui’s shoulder and laughed. “My sworn brother! It must have been hard for you to take care of the Hidden Abyss Valley when I wasn’t around. So, did my precious daughter cause you any trouble?”

Qiu Bujian was using practically all his strength to pat Ye Sui, and the poor man’s thin body trembled from the shock.

Bai—who had been following Wen Ran from behind while trying her utmost best not to make her presence known—had never seen someone so unsophisticated before! Her eyes widened, as if she viewed Qiu Bujian as a monkey.

“Sworn Brother,” Ye Sui mumbled helplessly, “Qiu Shui was kidnapped by an unknown person and we just only managed to get her back.”

“What?” Who kidnapped you?!” Qiu Bujian yelled. He seemed to be aware that his daughter was in the crowd, so he turned to look and found her pulling a long face. He walked over quickly and asked, “Who kidnapped you, my daughter!”

However, Qiu Shui dodged her father’s loving hug first. She did not particularly like her father’s fiery passion.”Father, I have something very important to tell you in private.”

Qiu Bujian became nervous. “Are you considering marriage?!”

Qiu Shui was speechless. “It’s not about me! It’s about the Hidden Abyss Valley! The point is, I’ll be waiting for you in the study!”

With that, Qiu Shui turned around and walked away.

“My dear daughter, please tell me that you weren’t bullied! Darling…”Qiu Bujian’s hugefigure followed behind Qiu Shui as if he was her shadow.

Qiu Bujian might be someone who ignored insignificant issues, but Ye Sui was not.

Ye Sui looked at the girl in white behind Wen Ran. Even though the cultivation world had no shortage of beautiful women, those who had a little more experience in life would know that there were not too many of them.

Although the white-clothed girl’s face was a little obscure, one would know that she was one of those rare beauties just by looking at her figure and posture.

Bai shrunk behind Wen Ran again and muttered softly, “That person keeps staring at me. Does he want to marry me too?”

Ye Sui was speechless.

He was not someone who was easily charmed by beauty, and he only did a double-take because she was quite a rare person.

Wen Ran had been kind to Bai, so the latter was instinctively clingy to her in a foreign place. The only problem was Bai’s inexperience and ignorance of the real world, and that would occasionally lead to trouble.

One could use the present scenario as an example.

“I’m sorry.” Wen Ran smiled apologetically at Ye Sui before turning to Bai and whispering, “Hush! Don’t talk nonsense.”

The next moment, Wen Ran was lifted up by the collar, but she was soon placed back down before she could react to what happened and begin struggling.

She turned around and saw a young man who exuded a celestial aura and was dressed in a whiter-than-snow robe.

Ever since Shen Wu had won the sympathy of the crowd with his bloody and pitiful appearance, Wen Ran knew that she had to walk in front of him. In order to prevent him from using that trick again, she specifically prepared a few more sets of the Immortal Ascension Mansion’s male disciple uniforms.

She recalled having asked him to change his clothes while on the way back, but he jumped up the tree and shook his head. “Nope. I’m not going to change.”

Wen Ran glared at him.

Shen Wu had already changed his bloodied clothes into clean ones, and they happened to be the exact same ones that Wen Ran had kept in her storage bracelet.

Shen Wu was as slippery as a loach in water, and Wen Ran would never be able to catch him if he didn’t let her.

She used her clever little brain and finally thought of a good idea. “I know a place where we can pick wild fruits. Change your clothes and I’ll bring you there.”

The eyes of the person on the tree lit up.

Wen Ran had never seen such a childish person before. Even the youngest cultivator in the Immortal Ascension Mansion was more obedient and sensible than Shen Wu.

When he held Wen Ran by the collar and moved her a few steps to the side, she was bracing herself for the possibility that he might act up again.

There seemed to be no explanation for Shen Wu’s action. He maintained his gentlemanly demeanor as he pointed to the air and said in a polite and warm voice, “The leaves are going to drop there.”

Wen Ran looked up and saw a few yellow leaves falling down and landing on the spot where she had been standing. She looked at Shen Wu expressionlessly again, almost as if she was wondering if he was sick in the head.

Was it worth lifting her up for a few withered leaves?

Shen Wu had an innocent expression as he faced the reproachful gaze of his beloved junior sister.

“You love Miss Wen dearly, Young Master Shen,” Ye Sui said with a smile and viewed it all as their youthful interaction with each other.

Shen Wu seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and said softly, “Before we left, I promised my master that I’d take good care of my junior sister.”

Ye Sui smiled kindly. “Perhaps this isn’t as simple as a senior brother protecting a junior sister.”

Wen Ran’s face turned stuff. She was already used to everyone getting the impression that Shen Wu was deeply in love with her.

There were a lot of people there, and Bai did not want to be exposed to everyone’s gazes. She moved quietly to the side and tried to stand behind Wen Ran again.

All of a sudden, Bai let out a cry and fell to the ground.

It was really pitiful to see such a beautiful woman landing on the ground.

Wen Ran wanted to help Bai up, but the ever-helpful Shen Wu also happened to turn around and was about to help her up. The two of them therefore bumped into each other.

Shen Wu, being the nearest to Wen Ran, grasped her arm and helped her up. He even asked worriedly, “Are you alright, Ranran?”

Wen Ran frowned at him.

At that moment, Qiu Shan—who had been watching the entire spectacle—helped Bai up. Qiu Shan might be young, but he was very gentle with and protective of women. He asked, “How did you fall, Young Lady?”

Bai’s eyes reddened after she fell. “Someone kicked me.”

There was little light present because it was late at night. The ones closest to Bai were Wen Ran and Shen Wu, but since Wen Ran had been carried away by Shen Wu, it could not have been her.

As for Shen Wu, a handsome gentleman who was magnanimous, gentle, and polite would never do such a thing!

The rest of the crowd consisted of the other disciples who could not stop themselves from staring at Bai because they rarely saw women.

Ye Sui glanced at the disciples who were close to him. They quickly stepped back and shook their heads in denial. “We didn’t do it, Mr. Ye!”

“The wind in the Hidden Abyss Valley is very strong,” Shen Wu said. “It couldn’t have been them.”

Shen Wu had many dazzling achievements at such a young age, and this group of young people had already regarded him as an idol. When he spoke up for that group of disciples, they began worshipping Shen Wu to unheard of heights.

“But someone really did kick me…” Bai said in a daze:

“Miss Bai.” Shen Wu’s clothes were snow-white and spotless. It was just as clean as he was. He said gently, “You must be tired after traveling for such a long time. You should rest more.”

Everyone seemed to agree.

“You must be tired too,” Qiu Shan said.

Bai twisted the handkerchief in her hand and she innocently began to doubt herself.

Wen Ran was the only one who stared intently at Shen Wu, so much so that her eyelids began to twitch.
