Having just experienced two battles, Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo's bodies were covered in blood and the stinking smell of bloodthirsty demon rats. Ye Xiuwen himself has a certain degree of mysophobia, and Jun Xiaomo, as a girl, also has high requirements for cleanliness, so the two hit it off and walked to the river.
This small river is at the outermost edge of the woods. The water is crystal clear. There are many small fish swimming leisurely in the river. Under the refraction of the sun, the pebbles of various colors on the bottom of the river sparkle.
"I didn't expect the scenery here to be pretty good." Jun Xiaomo said with a smile. Although his face was black and white and looked a bit funny, his casual and comfortable smile also affected Ye Xiuwen's mood.
"It's pretty good." Ye Xiuwen nodded in agreement, but the next second, he asked calmly, "Didn't Brother Yao enter the woods from near here before? Why can't he see this river?"
The look of admiration on his face was obviously his first time here.
Jun Xiaomo bit his tongue instantly. She thought tragically: Senior brother, should he be so sharp? In this way, the loopholes in her words can be discovered. How should she make up the next lie? Could it be that her senior brother discovered her identity every week, and then he threw a scroll back to the sect
Jun Xiaomo wanted to cry when she thought that she had tried so hard to run out, but in the end she was defeated by her senior brother's powerful reasoning ability.
Seeing the "little boy" in front of him biting his lower lip, his whole face wrinkled up, and looking like he didn't know how to speak, Ye Xiuwen stopped forcing him to tell the truth.
This "little boy" was so easy to see through, almost everything was written on his face. Facing such a person, Ye Xiuwen couldn't bear to leave him here.
What's more, this "little boy" always has the shadow of his junior sister in his words and deeds, which makes Ye Xiuwen's heart even harder to harden.
Ye Xiuwen would never have thought that the reason why the "little boy" in front of him looked like Jun Xiaomo was precisely because "he" was Jun Xiaomo.
Ye Xiuwen thought Jun Xiaomo was just staying in the sect to practice obediently.
"Okay, since it's hard to talk, let's not talk about it for now." Ye Xiuwen felt that everyone has things they don't want to talk about, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it. As for the origin of this "little boy", Ye Xiuwen had an intuition , I will figure it out one day.
When Jun Xiaomo heard that Ye Xiuwen had given up questioning on his own initiative, his eyes lit up. He raised his head with a big smile and said, "Thank you! I will tell you the truth if I have the chance in the future!"
Yes, Jun Xiaomo didn't expect to hide Ye Xiuwen's life. After Ye Xiuwen saw her ability and stopped sending her back to the sect, she would naturally take the initiative to reveal her identity.
The tone of "Young Man" is crisp and crisp, as if it has not yet entered the voice-changing stage. This "thank you" is said simply and neatly, as if it is responding to some call.
Under the curtain, Ye Xiuwen raised the corners of his lips, and the expression on his face softened a bit. He said: "It's getting late, let's take care of ourselves in this small river, wash off the blood on our bodies and then leave."
"Okay!" Jun Xiaomo responded simply, but soon, she realized one thing -
"Then...that...brother, what do you mean..."
"My name is Ye Xiuwen." Ye Xiuwen interrupted "him", "I should be older than you, you can call me Brother Ye."
Now that they were ready to accept the young man named "Yao Mo" into their team, Ye Xiuwen naturally would not let him continue to call him "brother, brother" and directly reveal his identity.
"Ahem..." Jun Xiaomo coughed dryly. It was good to be able to call his senior brother "Brother Ye". It was much more cordial than "Brother Ye" or "Brother Xiuwen", but...
"Then... um, Brother Ye, do you mean that I... we both wash... together?"
Jun Xiaomo was not only tongue-tied this time, but his head was also knotted—what a joke! How could she bathe in the river with her senior brother? ! She's not a fledgling who doesn't understand anything. This will make her very depressed, okay
Ye Xiuwen glanced at Jun Xiaomo strangely and asked, "Is there any problem with us washing together? This is not an inn bathtub. There is such a big river. There is no need to wash one before the other, right?"
Jun Xiaomo was about to burst into tears. What she was struggling with was not whether the river was big or not. The most important thing was that she was a woman...
However, because of the magic talisman on Jun Xiaomo's body, in Ye Xiuwen's eyes, she was just a young boy whose gender was "male".
Jun Xiaomo felt that she had dug a hole to bury herself in. If she had known this, she should have chosen a female identity to get to know her senior brother.
Ye Xiuwen couldn't understand what the "little boy" opposite was thinking at all. Although he was not used to bathing with others, it was already late and both of them were men, so there was no need to be so particular.
"Let's take a shower together. It's almost noon. There are other teammates of mine in the inn. I can't let them wait." Ye Xiuwen said calmly.
He knew very well that even if others found out that he was missing, they might not come to find him, but he was one of the captains and could not disappear silently. This was a matter of principle.
"Okay." Jun Xiaomo understood that if Ye Xiuwen said this in this tone, there would be no room for turning around.
She thought about it and felt that as long as her back was turned to Ye Xiuwen, there would be no problem.
After all, even if she takes off her clothes and stands in front of Ye Xiuwen, in Ye Xiuwen's eyes, she is just a man - under the influence of the magic talisman, she has a lot of everything a man should have. And what a man shouldn't have, she won't have.
However, when Ye Xiuwen realizes her true identity in the future, the two of them may be very embarrassed...
Jun Xiaomo silently cried tears to himself, then turned his back to Ye Xiuwen and began to slowly take off his blood-stained clothes.
When Ye Xiuwen saw that "Yao Mo" didn't say anything more, he began to take off his clothes - the clothes were stained with blood and smelly, and he really wanted to burn them all with a fire.
Ye Xiuwen's movements were much faster than Jun Xiaomo's. After Jun Xiaomo took off his coat, he started to walk into the river.
Ye Xiuwen wears white clothes all year round and has a slim and slender figure. But after taking off the clothes, his well-proportioned and strong muscles can put many male cultivators to shame.
After all, he is a swordsman who focuses on martial arts. After years of high-intensity training, it is impossible to develop a weak body.
Jun Xiaomo, who had his back turned to Ye Xiuwen, saw nothing.
Hearing a splash of water behind him, Jun Xiaomo knew that Ye Xiuwen had entered the water.
She breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, even if she had no "bad intentions" towards her senior brother, it was still very embarrassing in this situation.
Jun Xiaomo deceived himself into ignoring all the movements behind him. After speeding up and taking off his clothes, he ran like a gust of wind and jumped into the river, as if there was some wild beast behind him.
Ye Xiuwen, who was cleaning carefully, paused, and a speechless feeling came to his mind again.
He really couldn't figure out the way of thinking of this young boy "Yao Mo"...
Jun Xiaomo, who rushed into the water, was also very tragic. She misestimated the depth of the river and overestimated the temperature of the river. An extremely cold feeling instantly spread to her limbs, and the skin in contact with the river water felt like... It was like being frozen, and the soles of my feet slipped, and my whole body was soaked in.
"Plop... plop... help... help..." If Jun Xiaomo calmed down, she would find that although the river was deep, her whole head could still be seen through her feet.
But the river water was so cold that Jun Xiaomo's whole head was frozen into a block of ice. How could he have the sense to check the depth of the river water
Ye Xiuwen:…
He suddenly felt that bringing this young boy into the team would be a wrong choice? Although this young boy is a rare formation master, the way he breaks the thread from time to time is really worrying.
No matter what, Ye Xiuwen couldn't just watch "Yao Mo" drown in the river. He walked over and lifted Jun Xiaomo out of the river like a chicken.
"Cough... cough..." Jun Xiaomo supported Ye Xiuwen and coughed out the water that had been choked in his trachea. There was a burning pain in his throat and respiratory tract, which made Jun Xiaomo feel like he was suffocating.
At this time, Jun Xiaomo no longer cared about the matter of "men and women giving or receiving, but not being intimate". She just begged herself not to fall back again.
Ye Xiuwen was held so tightly by Jun Xiaomo that there were marks on his arms. He frowned slightly.
After Jun Xiaomo gradually calmed down, Ye Xiuwen said calmly above her head in a declarative tone: "The river is not that deep. You can breathe through your head just by holding your feet."
When Jun Xiaomo heard this, she instantly felt that she was too embarrassed to see her senior brother. Why did she easily act stupidly when she was in front of Ye Xiuwen? She gets stupider every time... She is obviously quite confident in her IQ.
Seeing the little boy looking like he was about to cry without tears, Ye Xiuwen thought for a while, then patted "him" on the head and said, "Be careful next time, don't rush into the river blindly, give it a try first" The temperature and depth of the river water.”
"Okay... okay." Jun Xiaomo lowered his head and said calmly, feeling that he had gained a lifetime of experience for nothing.
In fact, she can't blame Jun Xiaomo entirely. Under normal circumstances, she might not be so reckless. It's just that Ye Xiuwen's suggestion of "going to the river together" just now shocked her so much that she ignored many small things that needed attention. The details were forgotten.
After regaining her consciousness, Jun Xiaomo realized how shameful the position between her and Ye Xiuwen was. She grabbed Ye Xiuwen's hand and almost leaned into Ye Xiuwen's arms.
The most important thing is that they are still in the river without any clothes on them!
Jun Xiaomo quickly let go of Ye Xiuwen's arm as if he was burned, stepped back after two or three times, and stammered: "I...I'm fine, continue...keep washing...let's wash it" …”
Jun Xiaomo's face was so red that he was almost smoking, and his eyes were erratically looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Ye Xiuwen.
She was about to cry. How could things develop like this? This will expose her true identity in the future. How will she face this senior brother who takes care of her like a real brother
Ye Xiuwen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the "little boy" opposite him, who was also a man, would be so shy.
Well, since the other party didn't want him to get too close, Ye Xiuwen wouldn't continue to get closer. He was originally a person who had a strong sense of territoriality and didn't like others to get close to him. If the situation just now wasn't too urgent, he wouldn't have let the "boy" catch him like this.
"Wash well and don't fall again." Ye Xiuwen said, staying away from Jun Xiaomo again and going to the other side to clean.
"Okay..." Jun Xiaomo was finally able to breathe out the breath he was holding in his mouth. She raised her head and looked towards Ye Xiuwen, and found that the other party also consciously turned his back to her.
Maybe senior brother saw my embarrassment and turned around considerately, right? Jun Xiaomo was both emotional and moved, and the embarrassment and discomfort in his heart also dissipated a lot.
In the following time, there were no more conflicts between Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen. After they each took care of themselves quietly, they walked out of the river one after another and put on the spare clothes in the storage ring.
"Let's go, it's getting late. We can rush back to the inn just in time to have lunch." Ye Xiuwen said to Jun Xiaomo. Jun Xiaomo nodded hurriedly and trotted after him.
I just hope that I won't encounter the same situation again in the future, Jun Xiaomo thought with tears in his heart, but he didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition inexplicably.
