The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 119: Zhong Liang's Chicken Mother

While Huang Deshi and Bai Lin slept sweetly in their bedroom, a short distance from the guesthouse where the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciples were staying, Zhong Liang was inside a complex matrix formation.

This is Grand Master Zhang and Song Ling's temporary camp, there were Soul Rising Realms cultivators working in a hurry, there were spies who had revealed themselves a few hours ago and attacked the inner disciples of the sect. 

Zhong Liang was in a luxurious tent, sitting among dozens of brocade pillows, beside him were a few trays of sumptuous food and full of spiritual energy. 

The people who worked at the temporary camp darted glances from time to time to the luxurious tent, this was a tent that matched the tents of the great masters!

"Well, this is the famous disciple Zhong Liang… This is just natural" people thought that way. Zhong Liang's name rang throughout the sect and beyond the sect's own territory. The most prodigious young man of the new generation, there were bards who sang the glory of such famous youth and strength throughout the human kingdoms.

This famous disciple now had a grumpy look on his face as a video messaging item glowed before his beautiful dark eyes. 

"Young master! Ah, how you doing? Have you been crying? Who made my beloved young master cry? "The questions went on foolishly, his voice very reminiscent of a bird that told the same song for hours on end. 

The Ice Phoenix can't be blamed for worrying about its young master, who has an expressionless face all year, after all, this young master was crying and in pain! How could the ice phoenix not worry as if it had seen ghosts and death ?!

"Has anyone bullied you? Who was? I'll send someone to teach that person a lesson! "Said the Ice Phoenix with anger and a look full of indignation. 

Zhong Liang didn't know if he pretended not to hear his hired beast or tell the truth to this foolish bird. He was already too embarrassed to have cried in front of little Yan and Song Ling. 

Do not think that he did not notice the mischievous smile she once gave while giving him when talking about things with Grand Master Zhang!

"What should little Yan be thinking at that moment?" Zhong Liang thought with a little moodiness. 

"I'm fine, Uncle Ning," said Zhong Liang with his usual blank expression. Only those who know well Zhong Liang could see the eyes with a softer expression. 

"Really? I remember when you were little, even if you had a complaint, you never complained! Isn't that the same case? "Wing Ning asked, suspicious of this cold nephew's" sweet "attitude all year long. 

"I just remembered bad things. It awakened the ancient power of my blood and with the demonic energy things got out of hand and I suffered a severe deviation from Qi. "Zhong Liang quickly confessed before his uncle Wing Ning began to speak the awkward things of his past. 

Zhong Liang did not remember very clearly what happened to his family before he was sent with his uncle Wing Ning to the Celestial Sword Sect, but he had vague memories of his past. Although his father's and mother's faces were very blurry, he could barely remember his older brothers.

"And you said it's not very serious! The ancestral power of your Zhong Family is very serious! Aya! Little Liang, you have to go back for me to take a look at you! "Wing Ning said in an urgent tone, sounding like a chicken mother in protecting her children, he was a little angry, but there was a lot of worry on his face. 

"En. But now I can't go back, "said Zhong Liang not disagreeing with his uncle, who at the same time became his hired beast. 

"Don't talk to me with that feelingless voice and short sentences! Tell me everything I need to know, or I will send an army to bring you back! "Wing Ning said angrily. This young master of his had his face paralyzed all year long and spoke very short sentences as if every word were worth gold! Wing Ning could only force Zhong Liang to speak to calm his anger.

Zhong Liang felt a chill go through his body as he imagined a large, brilliant army of sacred beasts of the colors of Yin and Yang filling the sky, he could already imagine how scared everyone was and more fanciful rumors about him would be spread throughout the sect.

He could already see the women and men who would begin to follow him all over the place with looks of adoration and obsession!

That was very annoying!

Right now, that I got old Han's permission to be near little Yan, that can't happen! Zhong Liang thought to try to calm the irritation in his heart. He knew Elder Han Yie would not allow Zhong Liang to be publicly close to little Yan if his uncle Wing Ning did this power show in front of everyone in the sect. 

Zhong Liang was no fool, Song Lin could be Zemin Yan's older sister, but the one who would have custody of Zemin Yan is surely Elder Han Yie. Because enemies of the Song Family have the potential to target little Yan's life if it were revealed that he is part of the Song Family.

Even Zhong Liang's master would be out of action if Wing Ning fulfilled his threat, as it would be very risky for little Zemin Yan's life to be exposed to so much attention from Zhong Liang's undesirable fans.

So Zhong Liang told his overprotective uncle, not hiding anything, much less that he was almost kidnapped by royalty from the Magoru Empire. 

Everyone must already wonder how Wing Ning reacted… 

"Zhong Liang, come home now!" Said Wing Ning furiously, making Zhong Liang finally change his expression to that of a child making a tantrum!

Ahhh, Zemin Yan would surely want to see that petulant and slightly childish expression of his God of War!

Too bad, only the Ice Phoenix could see that cute petulant expression from Zhong Liang.

"I don't want to!" Said Zhong Liang, turning his face in fair indignation. He was already so old, but his uncle Wing Ning treated him like a small child! He wasn't going to break like glass and he wasn't in bad health… Cough… Cough… At least not very badly now!

"Zhong Liang!" Wing Ning called angrily. If he had not had to recover from his old wounds, he would have gone to this stubborn young master long ago! 

"Uncle Ning! Finally, I'm with Song Yan, if you take me back, I'll run away! "Said Zhong Liang in an icy tone.

Wing Ning took a deep breath to calm his anger that seemed to burn like ghost blue fire that hurt the soul, he knew Zhong Liang was not lying or bluffing. Zhong Liang was a very stubborn person, besides having his face paralyzed all year long and treating everything like passing clouds… He was a stubborn martial cultivator to the core, despite this cold facade and his cool attitude, he actually he was a stubborn brat who gave a lot of headache to Wing Ning and Grandmaster Chao.

"Fine, but if I feel your unsteady soul once again, I will send a large army that will darken the sky and make the earth tremble. So you can't blame me for your number of foolish fans growing! "Said Wing Ning with dissatisfaction. 

Wing Ning knew very well that Zhong Liang hated these obsessed and raving fans, so he threatened his young master with a great show of strength that would generate even more obsessed worshipers. 

"Fine, I'll hold back," said Zhong Liang making a serious commitment to his uncle Ning. 

"Remember when you come back to bring little Yang to see me. I can help him train his sacred energy, "said Wing Ning, sighing in resignation at this young rebel master. 

"En," Zhong Liang said softly, just thinking about taking Zemin Yan to meet his only family member made his heart smoother.

"Now go talk to your master. He is very worried, there is also the Sect Master… Ah, the Great Doctor Peng also wants to make sure that his body is fine… Ah, there is still Alchemist Shan who wants to prescribe him some pills… Aya! There are many people to talk to you. And you should be talking to them properly! I knew that in the last few years you haven't spoken much… Aya! What am I going to do with you? How did my cute young master grow up to have this handsome face paralyzed and that indifferent expression about life and death ?! "Wing Ning started complaining to Zhong Liang, who can only bite the bullet and let his uncle Ning vent his frustrations.

Zhong Liang knew that he always gave a lot of work to other people, especially his Master Chao and the great doctor Peng, but he was too lazy to deal with the annoying things. Cultivating the emotionless sword technique rather than taking away his emotions actually made everything annoying, so he didn't want to deal with things like social interaction and listening to other people's nonsense.

The consequence of this was his inability to communicate correctly, his lack of social tact and of course, his year-round indifferent expression to anyone.

Was this why Master Chao told him that he was cultivating this technique in the wrong way? 

All night Zhong Liang had to deal with all the annoying things, such as comforting his master, talking to the great doctor Peng, and listening carefully about Master Shan's best alchemical pills for all kinds of emergencies. In addition to behaving like a good junior disciple before the master of the sect.

Well, Zhong Liang still had the same indifferent expression and the same cold attitude, but at least he responded with short answers!josei

Which left Wing Ning a little pleased, before finally leaving Zhong Liang alone.
