Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

Two years later, one morning, Wenmin arrived.

She landed on her sword outside the courtyard, followed by two female disciples, both senior sisters from the Xiaozhu Peak lineage. Jiang Xiaochuan recognized them; one was surnamed Yu, and the other was surnamed Lan.

Lu Xueqi was teaching Jiang Xiaochuan a new sword technique in the courtyard. Seeing that his posture was incorrect, she corrected it hand by hand. The two children were sitting on the soft cushions under the eaves. Xiaobai was teasing them with a cloth tiger. When she saw Wenmin coming, Lu Xueqi stopped and looked at her.

"Senior Sister Wenmin."

Wen Min nodded, her gaze sweeping around the courtyard before landing on Jiang Xiaochuan. After a pause, she looked at Lu Xueqi with a somewhat solemn expression.

"The sect leader has summoned you," she said, "to summon the most outstanding young disciple of Qingyun to the Jade Purity Hall immediately."

Lu Xueqi frowned slightly: "What is it?"

"I don't know," Wenmin shook her head, "They only said it was an urgent matter and that all the peaks had been notified."

Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xiaochuan. Jiang Xiaochuan also looked at her, his eyes questioning.

"You should go too," Lu Xueqi said.

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment: "Me? But I'm not..."

"You are," Lu Xueqi interrupted him, her tone leaving no room for argument, "to come with me."

Behind Wen Min, Senior Sister Yu laughed and teased, "Junior Brother Jiang will naturally go. Who doesn't know that Junior Sister Lu's husband from Little Bamboo Peak is a capable person who can stand on his own?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Jiang Xiaochuan's face, and she smiled, "I must say, after not seeing you for several years, Junior Brother Jiang has become more and more handsome. Look at his demeanor, his features, he's even more endearing than before."

Senior Sister Lan laughed and chimed in, "Exactly! You used to call us 'Senior Sister' when you saw us, you were so sweet-talking. Now you're all shy, hiding behind Xueqi for no reason!"

Jiang Xiaochuan's ears burned at her words, and he instinctively shrank behind Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi stepped aside to shield him, then looked at Wen Min: "Leaving now?"

"Yes." Wenmin nodded. "We shouldn't delay."

Lu Xueqi then said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, please take care of Yunzhou and Yueyao."

Xiao Bai hugged Yue Yao and nodded, "Go ahead, don't worry."

Lu Xueqi glanced at Jiang Xiaochuan again, and Jiang Xiaochuan understood, going back into the house to retrieve the God-Slaying Spear.

Hong Li lazily said in his mind, "Another fight? What a hassle."

"Not necessarily," Jiang Xiaochuan replied in his heart, slung his gun over his shoulder, and walked out of the house.

Lu Xueqi had already summoned Tianya, its azure sword light hovering in mid-air. She leaped up first, steadied herself, turned around and reached out to Jiang Xiaochuan. Jiang Xiaochuan grasped her hand, used the momentum to leap up, and stood in front of her.

He turned around, naturally put his arm around her waist, and rested his face on her shoulder. He had done this action a thousand times and was very familiar with it.

Lu Xueqi smiled and took off on her sword. Wen Min and her two senior sisters, Yu and Lan, also took off on their swords. Three sword lights followed closely behind, and four streams of light cut through the morning mist and headed towards Tongtian Peak.

Senior Sister Yu looked at the two embracing on Tianya Mountain ahead and shook her head with a smile: "Look at them, so clingy. They used to be shy in front of us, but now they're hugging right in front of their senior sister."

Senior Sister Lan laughed, "That's right. But speaking of which, Xueqi has a really sharp eye. So many people had their eyes on Junior Brother Jiang, but she got him."

Wenmin, who was ahead, turned around and glared at them upon hearing this: "Say less and hurry on your way."

The two stuck out their tongues, stopped talking, and just smiled at each other, their eyes filled with envy and blessings.

……

Dazhu Peak

Tian Ling'er has emerged from seclusion.

She pushed open the door to the quiet room, and sunlight streamed in, making her squint.

Eight years have passed. She has been inside for eight years. Apart from the senior brother who brought her meals, she has never seen anyone else. Now that she has come out, she feels that the sky outside is exceptionally blue, the wind is exceptionally clear, and even the rustling of the bamboo leaves sounds exceptionally pleasant.

She took a deep breath, feeling her body brimming with spiritual energy. Every move she made carried the power of wind and thunder. She had reached the eighth level of Jade Purity. Eight years of hard work had not been in vain.

She walked briskly through the corridor toward the kitchen.

At this hour, her mother should be in the kitchen, and her father should be meditating in the Shoujing Hall. She went to the kitchen first, wanting to give her mother a surprise.

There was no one in the kitchen, and the stove was cold. She paused for a moment, then turned and headed towards Shoujing Hall.

The hall was empty except for Zhang Xiaofan, who was wiping the tables and chairs. When he saw her come in, he stopped and stood up.

"Senior sister, you've emerged from seclusion?"

Tian Ling'er nodded and looked around: "Where are Father and Mother?"

"Master and Mistress have gone to Tongtian Peak." Zhang Xiaofan put down the rag and walked over. "The sect leader summoned them, and all the peak leaders have gone."

"Tongtian Peak?" Tian Ling'er blinked. "What happened?"

"I don't know," Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, paused, and then said, "The sect leader also sent outstanding disciples from the younger generation. Senior Brother Song and I will also be setting off later."

Tian Ling'er said "Oh" and didn't pay much attention.

Her mind was elsewhere. Her eyes swept around the hall, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see. She asked again, "Where's Xiao Chuan? Hasn't he returned from his training trip down the mountain yet?"

Zhang Xiaofan stopped wiping the table. He slowly straightened up, looked at Tian Ling'er, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Tian Ling'er, oblivious, continued talking to herself, "It's been eight years, shouldn't he be back by now? He left without saying goodbye last time, and this time he's back, I'll give him a piece of my mind..."

As she spoke, she turned and walked out, "I'll go check his room; maybe he's hiding there practicing his cultivation."

"Senior Sister," Zhang Xiaofan called out to her, his voice a little dry.

Tian Ling'er turned around: "Hmm?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked at her for several breaths before whispering, "Senior Brother Jiang... he came back three years ago."

Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up: "He's back? Where is he? Did he go off somewhere to slack off again? I'll go find him!"

As she spoke, she tried to rush out, but Zhang Xiaofan quickly stepped forward and stopped her.

"Senior Sister," he called again, his voice even drier, like sandpaper being rubbed.

Tian Ling'er finally realized something was wrong, stopped in her tracks, and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her, staring only at the tips of his shoes, his voice so low it was almost inaudible:

"Senior Brother Jiang... he married Senior Sister Lu three years ago."

Tian Ling'er was stunned, not quite understanding: "Married? To whom?"

"...Lu Xueqi, Senior Sister Lu." After Zhang Xiaofan finished speaking, he quickly looked up at her, then looked down again.

Tian Ling'er stood there, as if she didn't understand. After several breaths, she slowly blinked, tugged at the corners of her mouth, wanted to laugh, but didn't.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" she said, her voice erratic. "Senior Sister Lu? That Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak? She...she's not...how could she be..."

"It's true," Zhang Xiaofan's voice was hoarse. "It was Senior Sister Lu who married Senior Brother Jiang. The wedding was held in the Yuqing Hall on Tongtian Peak. At the time, Master was furious... furious beyond belief. Now... now his anger has subsided a bit, but still..."

"Now?" Tian Ling'er interrupted him, staring directly at him. "What's wrong now?"

Zhang Xiaofan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice lowered even further: "Now... the children are over two years old, twins, one named Yunzhou and the other Yueyao."
