Record of the Missing Sect Master Chapter 2 part1

Xun Liu Manor was constructed very uniquely, with engraved railing and jade inlays, flowers in beautiful purples and brilliant reds, and even pieces of stone had an exquisite air. At this moment there is a passing cover of misty rain, vaguely leaving an elegant and charming scent.

Ye You sat in a corner of the pavilion and gently stroked the teacup slowly, in line with the principles of “more words, more mistakes” and “if the enemy is motionless, I am motionless”, patiently waiting for the school master opposite to open his mouth first, and anticipated that this person could say some useful things.

However his hope soon fell through – Wen Renheng seemed to have not seen him, and calmly held his teacup, quietly drinking tea, his finger are slender and clean, white like scallions (1).

This school master's existence made other people unable to ignore him. He looked to be looked to be very refined and gentle, and with that handsome face, was simply somewhat pleasing, such that “maintaining total silence” did not make Ye You feel oppressed and embarrassed, instead there was an inexplicable tranquility.

Ye You simply drank tea in a small mouthfuls, and in a solemn manner completely counted the leaves in the cup. When he was going to go mad counting the second time, he heard that the famed school master's cup of tea had been finished clean.

The teacup was placed on the table, sending out a light sound.

Ye You's attention was roused. He stretched his back slightly, then saw the school master by him carry the teapot unhurriedly, and continued again with another cup.

Ye You: “……”

Wen Renheng maintained the previous slow-pace and began to drink a second cup of tea.

Ye You pondered if he and that school master had too complex a relationship, when he could at someone's house drink two cups of tea and still not know how to talk about the situation.

– What if he spoke first himself?

This thought was churned in his heart, and he suppressed it.

Ye You decided to waste time with him.

Qin Yuemian, the lord of the Xun Liu Manor, hid in the distance and stole peeks, smiling and touching his chin.

His appearance could not beat Wen Renheng's, but wins in having a pair of tender and affectionate peach blossom eyes (2). He showed a faint smile, full of self-satisfaction, said: “I just knew that there was something fishy about them.”

His trusted aide who was to his side, looked to the pavilion. The two people are entirely different. He could not help but say: “Manor lord, this does not look right.”

Qin Yuemian asked: “Who have you seen that Wen Renheng can be taciturn with for so long?”

The trusted aide gawked.

Qin Yuemian smiled very meaningfully: “What's more, under the circumstances, that person also has Wen Renheng's jade pendant, and it's no ordinary jade pendant.”

The reason he took the person back here, commanded people to take good care of his life, and finally not let this person go, and today provoking the topic between Wen Renheng and that gongzi and its implications. Possession of the jade pendant is the main reason. That is a warm jade that was created, and it is not at all the best quality. The decorative design was also strange and odd, but at that time he saw Wen Renheng had personally carved it and there is only one piece in the world.

Although the reason Wen Renheng gave was sculpting for fun, he always felt he was doing it to gift someone, and it turns out that he really guessed correctly.

He and Wen Renheng have been acquainted for many years, and he has more knowledge about Wen Renheng than others. This kid has usually liked playing the part of a gentleman. Toward everyone he's gentle and refined, but he's actually full of evil tricks. Frighteningly, countless people in the Jianghu really do believe him to be genuine. Now today, there suddenly arrived a person you could really call strange!

What is even more unusual is that he has never seen the injured gongzi around Wen Renheng in these years. From where did he come from? What is his name? Surname? What exactly was his relationship with Wen Renheng?

Qin Yuemian's heart was full of nervousness, increasingly restless, and wished to search for an excuse to go out into the small pavilion. Before he could step out, Wen Renheng finished drinking his second cup of tea and spoke one sentence that was unexpected to Ye You and Qin Yuemian.

Wen Renheng asked in a dull tone that did not contain the quality of interrogation: “How could you have my jade pendant?”

Qin Yuemian was surprised.

Ye You subconsciously wanted to smile, but it affected the wound on his face, and he suddenly stiffened. He concealed by drinking water, said: “It's school master's own jade, but contrarily the one asked is me.”

Wen Renheng said: “I just don't understand, therefore I ask.”

Ye You was calm and composed, in his heart a big pile of thoughts churned. He decided to swindle him. “Could it be that my current appearance – the school master can not recognize it?”

Wen Renheng looked up at him.

Qin Yuemian tidied up his emotions, strided forward and also looked at him.

Ye You's face was burnt, the cloth strip was not completely wrapped around his head, and still left a small area, but to those who are not familiar, this point was simply nominal. Wen Renheng got up and walked around half the stone table and sat down beside him. He said, “I can't recognize.”

He reached out and saw Ye You lean his head down. He timely stopped and did not force. Only said: “You don't let me see, how will I know who you are.”

Ye Youzhi hesitated for an instant, then happily raised his own hand. The outcome being for a long time he did not tear open the cloth and he also made his face hurt very painfully.

Wen Renheng politely asked: “I'll go?”

Ye You did not at all show uneasiness, he politely said: “Thank you for your trouble.”

Wen Renheng's movements were very light, he seemed to be considering his feelings. This school master, in his eyes, still as before, he could not see through his state of mind. However, generally speaking he is someone occupying a leading position, so being tranquil and even-tempered allowed a person to inevitably have this type of gentle and soft illusion.

The cloth strip falls off quickly, half of Ye You's face is practically burned. The forehead and chin and the other half are intact. Even if Qin Yuemian has already seen it, he still couldn't help but turn his eyes to him.

This person's looks were exquisite, his facial features perfect, beautiful to the point it was soul-stirring, but without being feminine. But now could pass a sigh of anger for now half was beautiful and half was sinister. Together the shock it gave was too great. Regardless of whether before it was destroyed, or after, this face was one that could easily bewitch people's hearts.

Such a person, with only one glance one would firmly remember.

Ye You surreptitiously observed Wen Renheng, saw this school master's indifferent expression, and at last saw a subtle change. At first he seemed to be staring blankly, and then he looked incredulous. Qin Yuemian, toward his good friend's response, was also very curious, but before he turned his line of sight away from Ye You's body, he heard Wen Renheng's amazed voice: “- shidi?”(3)

Qin Yuemian: “……”

You unexpectedly have a shidi!

______

1.

2. Large, glossy eyes that are framed by long eyelashes.
3. Shidi (师弟) – literally teacher-younger brother but means junior male disciple of the same sect. They're not blood-related and fellow male disciples of a sect usually aren't and call each other brother. (Think how members of a fraternity are brothers because they are in the same organization)
