HSBS326: The two flowers
In order to prevent a conflict between the two sides, the arranged lodgings by Turbid Wave Pavilion for Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan were on two different islands.
Enveloped by a grand formation, if a conflict erupted between the two sides, Turbid Wave Pavilion would also be able to interrupt and bring an end to it in a tily manner.
On the clear, boundless surface of the lake, a small boat drifted, extrely far from any island.
Gazing in all directions from the boat, only an infinite stretch of lake water could be seen.
A girl sat on that small boat, many bottles and tins placed before her, an iron skewer in her hand, pierced neatly through the belly of a bird which had been cleanly defeathered.
Beside the girl, a few other birds similarly pierced through by iron skewers also lay within the boat.
The girl unfurled her fingers, making a grabbing motion towards the air before her, quite a bit of firewood being enveloped by her aura-qi.
She ignited the pile of firewood on the boat, but under the control of her aura-qi, the pile of firewood just hovered within the air, not affecting the small boat.
Neither hurriedly nor slowly, she held the thing within her hands over the fire to roast, also often adding so seasonings to it with a trained hand.
Now, a person approached.
The girl detected this, but the black sabre by her side remained quietly there as she showed no intention of drawing it.
The other party jumped onto her boat and, seeing her, let out a whoop of joy, “Senior apprentice-sister!”
With clear eyes and a friendly face, her features beautiful and attractive, the newcor was precisely the direct disciple of the Sacred Sun Clan, ng Wan.
anwhile, her hair strewn behind her back, a hint of a smile on her face, her eyes overflowing with valour as it moved, the person on the boat was Feng Yunsheng, having already joined Broad Creed Mountain.
Seeing ng Wan, Feng Yunsheng laughed, “Little Wan ca really fast; I haven’t even finished roasting this first one yet.”
ng Wan’s usual quietness was nowhere to be seen as she jumped in, squatting before Feng Yunsheng with really no care for her image at all, staring hungrily at the bird Feng Yunsheng was currently roasting, “Senior apprentice-sister, I like ones which taste a bit stronger.”
Feng Yunsheng said, “Your tastes-I would definitely know it.”
ng Wan smiled as she just looked at Feng Yunsheng, feeling as though she had returned to her younger days when she had just entered the clan.
Looking at ng Wan, Feng Yunsheng sighed emotionally, “While I have viewed so recorded images, It has already been more than four years since we last t for real. Little Wan has grown up to beco a big lady.”
ng Wan smiled, “Is it growing more mature and womanly with age, having beco more and more beautiful?”
Feng Yunsheng could not help but smile, “Of course. I have heard that the young heroes who yearn for you can be lined up from the World Illuminating Peak to the East Sea. In the Lake Domain that we are now, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Ruan Ping has always been thinking about you.”
ng Wan’s expression was mild, but she looked to be rather proud of this, resembling a little arrogant peacock, “That is only natural. I am cute, pretty and talented. Beauty cannot be exaggerated; it would only be natural for to be the ideal lover of their dreams.”
Feng Yunsheng smiled, shaking her head.
It was only her and ng Wan’s own Master that had the chance to see her like this.
Other than that, before the people of this world, including those of the Sacred Sun Clan from newly joined disciples to Huang Guanglie, she always remained quiet and elegant, humble and polite, perfect and flawless, no faults visible in her whatsoever, always letting people rest their minds, a Heaven’s favoured daughter who would never make a misstep.
ng Wan outwardly seed not to mind, but every single line on her face seed to be silently saying the sa thing.
“Quickly praise , quickly praise , quickly praise …”
Feng Yunsheng looked sowhat interestedly at ng Wan. In certain areas, ng Wan was sowhat similar to a certain person.
Yan Zhaoge.
While that person appeared proper on the outside, he was actually really also soone who liked to show off and act cool before others, shocking bystanders to the point of being dazed as wooden chickens.
Similarly, as Feng Yunsheng knew, Yan Zhaoge’s appraisal of ng Wan was also not low.
That year, she had intricately manipulated Yan Zhaoge into finding Feng Yunsheng , helping her out of her dangerous situation and warding off the murderous pursuit of Xiao Shen.
Having helped Feng Yunsheng and also halted Yan Zhaoge’s pursuit of herself, she had also avoided a direct conflict with Xiao Shen, killing three birds with one stone.
It was from that ti that Yan Zhaoge had clearly recognised that this harmless looking girl who instead might even greatly stimulate the desire of others to protect her was really not as simple as she seed.
anwhile, having grown up alongside ng Wan, Feng Yunsheng could not be more familiar with her.
It was only when faced with her and her Master that ng Wan revealed her true side.
“Right, the lover in countless people’s dreams, of who knows how many n; right, there might even be won who want to push you down…” Feng Yunsheng’s face was composed as she scattered so seasoning on the at skewer before flipping it over the fire, “…Pushing you down beneath them, followed by so rolling, followed by so variation exercising.”
ng Wan instantly couldn’t stand it, “Erm…this, it’s better not to be like that.”
As Feng Yunsheng looked smilingly at her, ng Wan remained a little defiant as she snorted, “Anyway, senior apprentice-sister, do not look down on ; I can now also be considered as having grown up beautifully!”
“Right; what is regretful is that once you start to eat sothing, all of it will be lost,” Feng Yunsheng spoke in a slow, leisurely tone.
ng Wan called out in an aggrieved manner, “Senior apprentice-sister ah!”
Feng Yunsheng waved the iron skewer in her hand, “It’s done; so are you eating, or not?”
ng Wan imdiately rushed before her, her appearance even more fawning than Little aty and Pan-Pan, “Eating, of course!”
Feng Yunsheng smiled as she handed over the skewer to ng Wan, who was instantly overjoyed.
This, however, was a fact that only Feng Yunsheng and ng Wan knew about. Even ng Wan’s Master didn’t know that her disciple was actually a super foodhound.
And as Feng Yunsheng as said, ng Wan’s appearance when eating truly destroyed her usual goddess-like image of tranquillity and faint smiles.
It was not rough, but it truly had the feeling of a man eating devouring at in great mouthfuls and swallowing down flagons of wine.
Feng Yunsheng just smiled like this as she looked at ng Wan, before taking hold of another iron skewer, beginning to roast the bird on it once more.
She first let ng Wan eat before eating herself, the two of them conversing happily about so interesting stories that had taken place after they had separated.
They did not ntion anything about the upcoming Extre Yin Bout or the conflict between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan at all.
After they had finished eating, they sat beside each other on that small boat, looking at the scenes of the lake in the distance.
ng Wan rested on Feng Yunsheng’s shoulder, murmuring in a low tone, “If I can always hold on to the Extre Yin Crown, if I am a Martial Grandmaster and am able to unleash the Extre Yin Crown to an even greater extent, my words would hold weight even before the ex-Chief. I could help to plead for senior apprentice-sister, helping you to return to our Sacred Sun Clan.”
“Now that Xiao Shen is dead, and Elder Pan is also dead, the ones who hard you back then are all gone, but all of it is also aningless now.”
Feng Yunsheng gently held onto ng Wan, not speaking.
Back then, in the year between the first two Extre Yin Bouts, the reason for the forces pursuing her having weakened greatly was actually due to ng Wan having won the Extre Yin Crown, helping her out back at the Sacred Sun Clan.
Perhaps her personality was similar to Yan Zhaoge’s in so areas, but it was still ultimately different.
Against the silent approval of the clan’s higher echelons and the pressure of the Grand Elder Pan Botai, ng Wan’s personality decided that she would never stand against it head-on, but would always be attempting to decrease the pressure on Feng Yunsheng.
Resting on Feng Yunsheng’s shoulder, ng Wan’s gaze was rather blurred.
To her, on one side was Feng Yunsheng, on the other her clan who had grood and nurtured her, her debt to them as heavy as a mountain.
While Feng Yunsheng was indebted to Broad Creed Mountain for having forged her anew, reborn.
Despite their joy at their long overdue reunion, the fight for the Extre Yin Crown in the Extre Yin Bout was sothing neither of the two would budge on.
Despite having already predicted that there would be a day like this having heard the news of Feng Yunsheng’s full recovery in her Extre Yin Physique, ng Wan still felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
