Chapter 30 Home is Gone

Chapter 30 Home is Gone

Xianzhou "Luofu", Shence Mansion.

There was a bonfire burning in the courtyard.

Jing Yuan and Bai Heng were drying their clothes by the bonfire.

Neither of them had expected that this meeting between the senior and junior disciples after seven hundred years would take place in such a form.

"So, are you now a member of the Interastral Peace Corporation?" Jing Yuan asked while pouring wine.

Bai Heng took the wine jug handed by Jing Yuan and said,

"To be precise, it's the Interastral Astronomical Society. It's affiliated with the corporation but not completely controlled by the Interastral Peace Corporation. However, you don't need to consider me as a member of any faction. I neither belong to the Interastral Peace Corporation nor Xianzhou. Now, I'm only loyal to myself."

Jing Yuan slightly pondered upon hearing this and said,

"Neither belonging to the Interastral Peace Corporation nor Xianzhou, the Interastral Astronomical Society... I have heard of this organization. It seems that it was mentioned in the last issue of the Interastral Peace Weekly. They were promoting within the universe that the Interastral Astronomical Society has established a connection with the Simulated Universe, and one of the staff members has even become an assistant to a certain genius.... Wait... Could it be....."

When Jing Yuan guessed the clue, Bai Heng hurriedly clinked glasses with him and gave him a wink.

Asking him to stop the conversation in time.

Jing Liu, sitting opposite Bai Heng and enjoying the moonlight, noticed the strangeness of the two and said,

"What are you two talking about?"

"Master, Xiaobai and I are catching up and chatting about the recent situation." Jing Yuan said with a smile, covering up for Bai Heng without changing his expression.

"Oh?" Jing Liu glanced at Bai Heng, naturally reached out and took the half cup of wine that Bai Heng had drunk, gently pinched it with her slender hand, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Then she turned her wine cup towards Bai Heng, indicating him to fill it up for her again.

Bai Heng watched this scene.

He felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

Even though the three of them, the master and the disciples.

One fell into the demonic shadow, lingering on the verge of madness, one was reincarnated, and one became one of the current Seven Generals of the Emperor's Bow, they could still gather in the courtyard to drink and enjoy the moon as before.

They had changed, yet seemed unchanged.

Jing Liu was still a drunkard, and Jing Yuan was still not good at drinking as before.

One cup after another, Jing Liu also showed some signs of being drunk.

At this time, Bai Heng asked,

"Master sister... After all, I'm now a civilian. Can we change the training method?"

Jing Liu gently pursed her thin lips and said,

"So what if you're a civilian? If you want to learn my swordsmanship, I'll teach you. Besides, even if you've lost all your sword techniques, from the previous test, it can be found that you still have the nature for practicing the sword. You've missed the best age for learning the sword. Now, actual combat is the fastest way for you to improve."

"..." Bai Heng sighed and said, "Then be a bit gentler when beating me next time."

"You two are still the same as before, fighting inseparably every time you meet." Jing Yuan laughed heartily and said幸灾乐祸ly:

Bai Heng gave a speechless glance at Jing Yuan, who was enjoying the spectacle and not minding his own business.

But to be honest, if Jing Liu really wanted to hone his swordsmanship and enhance his strength, it would actually be a good thing.

After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

The matter between him and Ruan Mei would one day need to be told to Jing Liu.

According to the personalities of these two, peaceful coexistence was unlikely.

Of course, he couldn't let the two know about each other too early.

After all, these two, one was a genius of the Genius Club, and the other was the former Sword Master of "Luofu". Ordinary people provoking them would surely end up dead.

Neither of these two could share a husband. If a battle royale really broke out, maybe Jing Yuan would really have to visit his grave.

Therefore, in order to deal with all the upcoming situations, Bai Heng must become stronger until he has the ability to handle this inevitable battle royale and then voluntarily reveal this layer of truth.

Perhaps this reason for becoming stronger was a bit ridiculous, but Bai Heng felt it was no problem.

This simulation system that could change reality was actually similar to the reincarnation and continuation of fate.

After the first simulation, when facing Ruan Mei's feelings, he actually still had a somewhat evasive mentality.

But on second thought, facing the wait of several hundred years, perhaps, Bai Heng had no qualification to evade.

Therefore, he would try his best not to disappoint either of them.

Thinking of this, Bai Heng decided to try whether he could remove the tag of "Beautiful Young Man with Many Female Admirers" when starting the next simulation. Otherwise, having a beauty as a confidante in each life would be a bit troublesome.

"By the way, Xiaobai, how long will you stay in Xianzhou this time?" Jing Yuan suddenly threw out this question:

"Subtracting the round trip journey, one week." Bai Heng looked at himself reflected in the jade cup in his hand and replied, "It doesn't matter to tell you the purpose of my coming here."

Jing Yuan became interested:

"Oh, let's hear it."

"The documents only said to come to Xianzhou to collect information about the Emperor's Bow and the Master of Plagues and Pharmacists, and then investigate the background of the Secret Pharmacist Sect. But the chosen time point is rather ingenious, right after the Star Core Crisis broke out." Bai Heng stretched and seemed to imply something, saying:

"Maybe my role is just to plant an eye here in Xianzhou."

After hearing Bai Heng's words, Jing Yuan thought for a moment and then smiled:

"Well, how about this. This time, I'll help you collect all the information you need, and then you can use the remaining time to practice with Master."

"Oh, no, Jing Yuan, you big-eyed fellow, how can you be so mean to your junior disciple?" Bai Heng muttered in a low voice:

Jing Yuan stood up, patted his shoulder and said,

"If you can't get along in the Interastral Astronomical Society in the future, remember to come to Xianzhou at any time. Also, you and Master can stay in the Shence Mansion tonight. I see that Master is drunk. You take her back to her room later."

Bai Heng sighed, waved his hand and said,

"Where is Master sister's room? I'll take her back first."

Saying that, Bai Heng also glanced at Jing Liu, who was already lying by the bonfire as if drunk.

And after hearing Bai Heng's words, Jing Yuan suddenly said in an upward tone:

"Oh, I suddenly remember that there is only one guest room in our Shence Mansion now. Xiaobai, why don't you spend the night with Master for now?"

Bai Heng's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he supported Jing Liu, who was leaning on his arm, and returned to the room that Jing Yuan mentioned with her.

After all, a clean hand wants no washing. He didn't have those thoughts, so there was no need to refuse.

It was only when he supported Jing Liu that he found she was still conscious and not completely drunk.

When he led Jing Liu's soft arm and brought her to the door of that room, Jing Liu suddenly whispered:

"Let me go. I'll sleep in the yard tonight."

"Master sister, you don't want to share a room with me?" Bai Heng asked in a relaxed tone:

"No..." Jing Liu's fair face was slightly flushed from the wine, perhaps worried that Bai Heng would misunderstand. She explained:

"You should be able to feel it. After falling into the demonic shadow... My body is very cold. Staying with me will be very uncomfortable. So for a long time, I'll sleep outside. I'm used to it..."

Bai Heng, who was still in a teasing tone, was stunned after hearing this.

But immediately, he took Jing Liu's hand and directly brought her into the room.

When they entered the room, they saw that Jing Yuan had deliberately chosen a large double bed for them.

That bed was completely big enough for two people to lie down.

Bai Heng didn't argue with Jing Liu about who would sleep on the bed and who would sleep on the floor.

After all, they had shared a bed once in the previous life. Besides touching her hand and pinching her face, he wouldn't do anything else.

So after a moment, the two lay on the bed together.

Bai Heng did feel a coldness emanating from Jing Liu's body, but it should be fine for just one night.

There was a hand's distance between the two of them.

To avoid awkwardness, Bai Heng also softly explained in advance:

"Master sister, rest assured. I won't do anything inappropriate."

But shortly after his words fell, Bai Heng felt rustling sounds beside him.

Before he could look towards the inner side of the bed, he found that his arm had already been grasped by a pair of cold and soft little hands.

Jing Liu directly pressed Bai Heng's arm like that, her slender legs slightly bent and pressed on Bai Heng's body.

"Master... sister?" Bai Heng's brain was spinning rapidly, and his expression was dazed.

Jing Liu's face was blushed from the wine, and her breath was like musk, but still carried a sweet fragrance.

She stared at Bai Heng like this, and her voice was faintly fragmented:

"But I didn't say that I wouldn't... do anything inappropriate."

"Master....."

Before he could finish, Jing Liu bit his lips.
