Chapter 319 Farewell(1/2)
On the second day, inside Huanyue Pavilion.
Dong Ming woke up amid a murmur of sleep.
"Husband, I want a hug, hehe..."
Seeing Qingran's mouth almost dripping with tears, Dong Ming's mouth twitched.
Although he changed from a bird to a human, his personality... doesn't seem to have changed at all.
"Qingran, wake up."
"Qingran?"
Qingran slapped Dong Ming on the mouth and muttered in his sleep:
"Don't make trouble, I'll sleep a little longer."
Dong Ming couldn't help but hold his forehead, his habit of snoozing was exactly the same as that of the little guy.
But...he doesn't hate it either.
He carefully moved Qingran to his side and got out of bed.
After closing the door, he came downstairs alone.
Chen Huang woke up early, looked at Dong Ming, and greeted with a wicked smile:
"It seems that you slept well?"
Dong Ming rolled her eyes: "Didn't we prepare a room for Qingran last night? Why did she come to my bed?"
Chen Huang spread his hands: "If I'm not satisfied, I'll sleep with you."
"Just be content."
"This little girl who came down from Kunlun hasn't said she's at a disadvantage yet, so don't dislike her."
Dong Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't dislike it, I just think... it's unreal."
While talking, Chen Huang served Dong Ming breakfast.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
When the door opened, Liu Ye and Zhu Yun entered one after another.
"Eldest brother, second brother." Dong Ming looked at the two people who didn't look very good-looking and couldn't help but said: "You haven't slept well?"
Liu Ye snorted coldly and sat down next to him, sulking.
Zhu Yun coughed a few times, then sat down and said with a helpless expression: "The boss told us everything you said in the imperial city."
"I don't judge what's right or wrong."
"Have you never thought that if you anger the emperor, your life will be at risk?"
Dong Ming muttered: "Anyway, he has the Dragon Ball with him, so killing me won't do him any good."
"Besides, you should also know about Princess Gaoyang."
"I don't think I'm at fault in this matter."
Zhu Yun listened and shook his head with a headache: "It seems like it would be better for you to resign."
"With your temper, if you continue to work hard in the court, the final result may not be good."
"Although, from a brother's perspective, I don't think your temper is a bad thing."
"It can be seen that... you are more like a knight in the world, and you are not suitable for the weirdness of this court."
"Well, just resign. It will save me the usual worries."
"Now that you are free again, I feel relieved."
Liu Ye shook his head: "I should have listened to your second brother, taught you reading, taught you martial arts, and let you go outside and see."
"Look at how haggard these cases involving the imperial court have made you in the past six months."
However, Dong Ming put down his bowl and chopsticks and said extremely seriously: "My two brothers are worried about me."
"Actually...even if my brother doesn't come to look for me today, I will still look for you."
"I... plan to leave Chang'an City."
Liu Ye and Zhu Yun looked at each other without any surprise.
Perhaps they had already guessed this before coming.
Zhu Yun waved his feather fan lightly and asked slowly: "Where are you going?"
Dong Ming scratched his head: "You can travel anywhere in the world."
"However, the first priority is to go to Suichang County."
Liu Ye couldn't help but said: "Suichang? I remember... it should be near Songyang County."
"How...are you going there?"
Dong Ming explained: "The master of the pavilion told me that he has an old friend in Suichang County who should be able to cure my second brother's physical illness."
"Second brother, you are so sick of coughing up blood that you can't even look at Taiping. I'm the one who's really uneasy."
"Besides, the Soul-Suppressing Department is not safe when dealing with various cases on weekdays. If you really suffer from coughing up blood at a critical moment... Bah, bah, bah!"
Zhu Yun was stunned.
Immediately, there was a warmth in his eyes: "Third brother is interested."
"It's just that... my second brother's body can still support me."
"On your side, you will be alone outside in the wind and rain, which will make people worry."
Dong Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came from upstairs.
"Husband, you didn't even tell me when you woke up."
Saying this, Qingran rubbed her sleepy eyes and went downstairs.
When he saw the steaming breakfast, the sleepiness on his face disappeared immediately, and he jumped on it with bright eyes.
Liu Ye and Zhu Yun looked at the sudden appearance of Qing Ran, picked up the food and started to eat it, and couldn't help being stunned.
"This is..."
Dong Ming scratched his head: "This person's name is Qingran, she is the three blue birds given to me by the previous pavilion master. She is also... my wife."
Qingran raised his head, blinked, and then said with a smile: "Hello, eldest brother, hello, second brother."
Liu Ye looked stunned in shock.
Zhu Yun was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Your wife?!"
After a long while, Dong Ming informed the two of them about the ins and outs of the Three Blue Birds incident.
After listening, Liu Ye smacked his lips and said, "That's right, that's right. You two have a life-and-death friendship, and you have a marriage that is like a dragon and a phoenix."
"Hahahaha... I am very satisfied with this sister-in-law!"
Zhu Yun also smiled and said: "It seems that we don't even have to worry about your life-long events."
Dong Ming suddenly became anxious: "No, you agree now?"
Liu Ye asked back: "Why don't you agree?"
"What a good girl. I know you very well. Isn't that good?"
"As cultivators like us, don't we still care about secular wedding etiquette?"
"It doesn't matter if you are a human or a bird, as long as I treat you well, that's enough."
Zhu Yun on the side also smiled and said: "Qingran is an ancient divine bird, and now it is transformed by you. This is destiny."
"Furthermore, if we really want to measure it according to the secular family background, on the contrary, third brother, you lose to Qingran by more than one margin."
"Brother and I have nothing to object to."
"Besides, judging from your demeanor, aren't you not that repulsive yourself?"
"When we were introduced just now, you also said that Qingran is your wife."
"It can be seen that you and Qingran have only been together for a while and have not developed any love."
"As time goes by, you will understand."
With that said, Zhu Yun took out a string of fine sandalwood beads from his arms and handed them to Qingran:
"As the second brother, I came here in a hurry, but I didn't prepare any generous gifts."
"This is a Buddhist bead that I carry with me all year round. It is blessed by Buddhist scriptures from eminent monks. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for my second brother."
Qingran took the beads with a smile, put them on directly, and said crisply: "Thank you, second brother!"
Immediately, Qingran rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Ye.
To be continued...
