"We are not …" Shen Yu opened his mouth to explain. Although he hadn't been in the mortal world for a long time, he still knew what a husband-wife relationship was.
"Pretty brother, you don't have to explain. I promise I won't tell anyone!" However, Xiao Tuanzi firmly believed that they were husband and wife. She only thought that Shen Yu's explanation was a cover-up.
Shen Yu had no choice but to look at Shang Junlin for help.
Shang Junlin now found Xiao Tuanzi more pleasing to the eye. He said to Shen Yu, "Children are like this. They have their own set of principles and can only follow."
"Big brother, you have to be good to pretty brother." Xiao Tuanzi looked at Shang Junlin. He was such a fierce big brother. She didn't know what pretty brother saw in him.
"I will. I won't treat anyone badly, but I won't treat Ah Yu badly." Shang Junlin replied seriously.
Xiao Tuanzi was very satisfied with Shang Junlin's awareness. She was not as afraid of him as before.
Half an hour later, Xiao Tuanzi reluctantly bid farewell to the two after being reminded by the maid, "After I finish learning today's calligraphy, I will come back to play with pretty brother."
The servants of the Provincial Governor's Mansion served a sumptuous breakfast. Shang Junlin put Shen Yu's favorite dishes into his bowl as usual. Shen Yu naturally picked up the dishes in his bowl and put them into his mouth.
Xiao Tuanzi's words suddenly floated in his ears. Shen Yu paused.
"What's wrong? The dishes are not to your liking? "
Shen Yu shook his head and suppressed the strange emotions in his heart. It was just a human cub's words. He couldn't take it seriously.
After breakfast, Shang Junlin took Shen Yu out of the mansion.
Qingzhou was a relatively prosperous place in Dahuan. After dealing with official business, Shang Junlin wanted to take Shen Yu to sightsee.
There were stalls selling all kinds of things on the street. This was the first time that Shen Yu had experienced such things, so he was curious about everything. Shang Junlin was happy to accompany him. Whenever Shen Yu took a second look at something, he would buy it.
The Great Huan Dynasty's folk customs were open, and the streets were filled with pairs of men and women. In order to do business, the street vendors had already trained a pair of discerning eyes, and all kinds of pleasantries were spouted out as if they didn't cost money.
"Both of you are so handsome. I can tell that you are a loving couple at first glance. Look at this pair of hairpins. It suits your temperament very well. I'm sure it will look even better after you wear it. It can also reflect your deep feelings for each other …" The stall owner could tell at first glance that Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were not people who lacked money. Thus, he kept on introducing them.
"We are not …"
At first, Shen Yu would explain seriously. However, after he explained, the person who spoke would only show an "I understand" expression. Although he restrained his words, the meaning in his words didn't change much. After a few times, Shen Yu gave up.
Shen Yu didn't know the language of the mortal world, so he was coaxed to buy a lot of things. Shang Junlin liked it when the stall owners said that he and Shen Yu were a couple. He only hoped that they would say more. Naturally, he wouldn't expose them.
After a few hours, the two of them had a lot of gains.
The hands of the Hidden Dragon Guards who were disguised as ordinary guards behind the two of them were full of things. Other than Shen Yu, even Shang Junlin had a lot of things in his hands.
At this time, a young couple walked past the two of them. The man's hands were full, while the woman was only holding some light things. She raised her arm and used her sleeve to wipe the sweat on the man's forehead.
Shen Yu looked at himself and then looked at Shang Junlin. The man's body was dry, and there was no sign of him sweating.
"Why don't I take some too?" Shen Yu was a little embarrassed.
Shang Junlin slightly raised the corner of his lips, "No need. I can still carry these things. If A Yu is worried, why don't you wipe my sweat for me too?"
He was just joking. In short, it wasn't difficult for him to carry these things. After he finished speaking, he wanted to continue walking forward. Unexpectedly, the young man beside him suddenly stopped.
Then, a gentle breeze blew past his face.
The young man looked up and wiped his forehead seriously.
Even though the two of them knew that he wasn't sweating at all.
Shang Junlin only felt that his heart was beating like a drum. The beast in his heart was impatiently grinding its claws and getting restless.
Shang Junlin, who was originally not hot at all, started to heat up from inside out.
Shen Yu wiped his forehead for a while and stopped. He couldn't understand why he would suddenly do such a thing. It was as if he saw someone else doing the same thing. There was an impulse in his heart. By the time he reacted, it was already done.
His raised arm froze for a moment. He was about to withdraw it, "I …"
Shang Junlin quickly grabbed him with his free hand. His eyes were shining, "Now I'm not hot at all. Thank you, A Yu."
Of course not.
The burning temperature in the palm of his hand passed through his clothes to the place where the man grabbed Shen Yu. Then, it spread all the way up. The immortals who were originally unaffected by the temperature of the mortal world felt hot for the first time.
The man's burning gaze fell on him. It was as if he had lit an invisible fire on him.
Shen Yu lowered his head and said softly, "I didn't do anything."
"Do you still want to walk around?" Shang Junlin asked.
In fact, it was not suitable for him to continue walking around. The young man had lit a fire on him, making him want to do something.
Shen Yu shook his head.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything in public. Shang Junlin closed his eyes and suppressed the roaring beast in his heart. He let go of the young man's hand, "Let's go back first. If A Yu isn't satisfied, we can come out to play next time."
When they returned to the Provincial Governor's Mansion, Shang Junlin was called away. Shen Yu stayed alone in the courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, Xiao Tuanzi came as promised.
After playing for a while, she found that Shen Yu was not in high spirits. Xiao Tuanzi curiously asked, "Did Big Brother make Pretty Brother angry?"
"Why do you say that?" As soon as she spoke, Shen Yu remembered what happened in the morning. He also remembered the misunderstanding of his relationship with Shang Junlin outside the mansion.
"Because Pretty Brother seems to be in a bad mood. Every time Mother is in a bad mood, it's because Father made her angry." Xiao Tuanzi answered matter-of-factly.
Shen Yu laughed, "It has nothing to do with him. I'm thinking about something."
He was just thinking about the relationship between him and Shang Junlin.
When he promised Shang Junlin to go to the Imperial Palace, he didn't think so much. He just wanted to play for a while and leave when he got tired of it. He could go to other places to play, or go back to Mount Xi to continue sleeping. He never thought that he would develop a relationship beyond friendship with the Emperor of the mortal world.
On the second day after Shang Junlin secretly left the capital, Prince Li received the news.
"According to the information sent back by our spies, this time when we left the capital, this prince's good imperial brother brought a beautiful man with him. Daoist priest, do you think that person could be the immortal who was tricked into entering the palace from Mount Xi?"
Xu Daozhang pinched his fingers and said, "The immortal is no longer in the Imperial Palace."
"That's good. I was worried that I couldn't find a chance to get close to the immortal who was secretly protected in the Imperial Palace. Since he's out of the Imperial Palace, it's much more convenient to do things." Prince Li smiled and felt that even the heavens were on his side.
"I've already sent people to get close to him. It would be best if we can reach a cooperative relationship with the immortal." Xu Daozhang said.
"The State Preceptor has brought people to Qingzhou. Will there be any problems?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. They won't find out."
Thinking of the special nature of the item, Prince Li was a little relieved. "I've already told the people to take care of the jade you gave me. In a few days, it will be sent to the Emperor."
Of course, he couldn't personally deliver such a thing. Fortunately, there were many people who wanted to please the Emperor. As long as the news was spread, there would be a lot of people who wanted to get it. If they presented it to the Emperor and got the Emperor's favor, it would be just a matter of a word.
Under the secret control of Prince Li, the jade fell into the hands of an official in Qingzhou. Coincidentally, he got the news that the Emperor was in Qingzhou.
A few days later, the jade was sent to Shang Junlin.
Shang Junlin didn't care about these things before, but after seeing the existence of the immortal with his own eyes, he changed his mind. He handed the jade to the State Preceptor to see if there was anything wrong with it.
For the time being, he didn't have the mood to play with the jade because he found that Shen Yu was intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from him these days.
Previously, under his subtle influence, Shen Yu wouldn't resist getting close to him. But these two days, when he wanted to get closer to him, Shen Yu would silently avoid him.
Shen Yu came to Qingzhou to investigate what was wrong in Qingzhou. This time, Shang Junlin couldn't hide him from the State Preceptor. When Shen Yu deliberately avoided him, he met the State Preceptor more often than he did.
Shang Junlin was dissatisfied. Every time Shen Yu met the State Preceptor, he would take time out no matter how busy he was. His dissatisfaction wasn't directed at Shen Yu. After a few times, the State Preceptor couldn't stand it anymore.
Not everyone could withstand the cold air of the Emperor.
After another meeting with the immortal, the State Preceptor stopped the Emperor who was about to leave with a dark face. "Your Majesty, did you do something to make the Emperor unhappy?"
The State Preceptor suspected that the Emperor couldn't help but do something that made the immortal unhappy. After all, from the previous situation, the Emperor didn't seem to intend to endure it for long.
"I didn't do anything." Shang Junlin also didn't understand why Shen Yu suddenly avoided him.
It was very strange that he didn't do anything. From the time he spent with the immortal, it wasn't difficult for the State Preceptor to see that the immortal treated the Emperor differently from others.
"Your Majesty, you can ask directly. The immortal's heart doesn't beat around the bush. No matter how you guess, it's better to ask directly." The State Preceptor made this suggestion based on the immortal's attitude towards the Emperor. The most important thing was that if the two didn't reconcile, he would be the one who would be hurt.
After listening to the State Preceptor's words, Shang Junlin thought for a long time and felt that he really should talk to Shen Yu. He didn't want the two of them to be in a deadlock.
That night, Shang Junlin had originally planned to go and talk to Shen Yu, but who would have thought that something big would happen in Qing Zhou? He only had time to get someone to inform Shen Yu before bringing people to deal with it.
Late at night, Shen Yu's courtyard welcomed an uninvited guest.
It was a small paper man.
"My Lord, the Emperor has been held back by our people. If you want to leave, now is the best chance." The paper man said in a strange tone.
Shen Yu didn't take this little thing seriously, but its words attracted his attention. "This time, it was your master who did it?"
The paper man didn't answer this question. Instead, it said, "This is a rare opportunity. Are you willing to be trapped by a mortal forever? You should be an immortal above the Ninth Heaven, unrestrained by anything, but now you have to pretend to be obedient … "
Shen Yu made a gesture, and the paper man suddenly quieted down.
"You are too noisy." Shen Yu said.
Shen Yu's face turned cold after he sensed it. He moved his fingers, and the paper man instantly turned into ashes.
Shang Junlin was injured.
Shen Yu stood up, pushed the door open, and walked out.
At this moment, there was a noise and approaching footsteps in the front yard. There was a faint smell of blood and an imperceptible stench in the air. Shen Yu looked up.
"Where is the doctor? Have you sent someone to invite him? "There was an anxious voice in the crowd.
"I have already sent someone. He is still bleeding. Why can't it be stopped?" There was obvious panic in the voice.
Not long after, Shen Yu saw Shang Junlin, who was supported by someone. The man's face was pale, and his breath was much weaker than it was during the day.
Shen Yu also felt that Shang Junlin's vitality was constantly flowing away.
The smell of blood and the unknown stench was even stronger.
Suddenly, there was an extra person in front of them. Everyone noticed it. Seeing that it was Shen Yu, Shang Junlin struggled to stand up straight. He subconsciously pretended that his injury was not serious. He didn't want the young man to worry.
In fact, he didn't look so bad now. His black clothes were soaked with blood, and it was hard to see it in the night. However, Shen Yu was a god, and he could feel that the man's vitality was constantly weakening.
