Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 27 New Clothes
Sun Yanwan glanced at the young man beside Lao Ai and asked, "Is this your brother?"

Lao Ai hurriedly said, "It's my younger brother Lao Xin!"

"He admires the noble character of Taoist Sun Xiao and wishes to become your disciple."

Lao Qingshan and his daughter Lao Ai have always intentionally or unintentionally hidden the youngest son of the Lao family. But today Lao Ai brought him to Taiyi Temple. It is unimaginable that he can become a disciple of a great master, but for the Lao family, becoming a disciple's grandson is also a sign of ascending to heaven and becoming a dragon.

Sun Yanwan only had to glance at him to realize that Lao Xin, a young man from a gang, had a veil of hostility between his brows. When Lao Ai spoke, he would secretly observe him. Just now, when his sister threatened to have her arm cut off, he didn't even utter a word, as if this sister wasn't his biological child.

All these factors made Sun Yanwan dislike this young man. He smiled slightly and waved, but Lao Xin did not move. Lao Ai pulled his younger brother to him and said, "Quickly pay your respects to Taoist Sun."

Sun Yanwan smiled slightly and waved, but Lao Xin didn't move. Lao Ai pulled his brother to him and said, "Quickly pay your respects to Taoist Sun."

Seeing that Sun Yanwan was a few years younger than him, Lao Xin was somewhat reluctant and just bowed perfunctorily. Although Lao Ai was annoyed, she could do nothing about it. This younger brother had been spoiled since childhood, so she couldn't say anything harsh.

Sun Yanwan asked, "Do you really want to join Taiyi Temple?"

Lao Xin suddenly said, "It's fine for me to become Grandmaster Zhang Yuanqiao's disciple, but forget about becoming your disciple. I don't want to."

Lao Ai was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled his younger brother and asked him to apologize, but Lao Xin was blocked and refused to bow his head.

Sun Yanwan laughed heartily, no longer feeling any guilt, and said, "Your brother doesn't want to either, so Deputy Sect Leader, please don't make it difficult for him."

He and Zhang Qingxi leisurely returned to Taiyi Temple. They heard a slapping sound behind them. Neither of them turned around, but they both knew that Lao Ai must have slapped his brother. Then they heard Lao Xin roar angrily, "Why do you care about me?"

"You and father gave away the Scorpio Sect. I won't get anything from it in the future. You asked me to become a disciple of a child. What can he teach me? I'm afraid his martial arts skills are not as good as mine."

Sun Yanwan shook her head and said with a smile, "This child has a bit of a stubborn temper!"

Zhang Qingxi smiled faintly and replied, "It's just that he's not very smart."

"How could he know what a great opportunity it is to be able to become my disciple?"

"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny."

"You can't just accept disciples randomly, and this kid really doesn't have any talent." Sun Yanwan put this matter behind him. He really didn't like Lao Xing, so he and Zhang Qingxi each chose a pagoda pavilion to practice.

The next day, just after breakfast, a melodious voice like the sound of a jade harp echoing through a valley was heard outside the temple, calling out, "Sima Ziyan has come to visit Senior Brother Sun."

Sun Yanwan thought to herself, "Why did you choose me today?"

Zhang Qingxi laughed and said, "They came specially to visit, so you can go and deal with them. I still need to practice, so I won't accompany you."

Zhang Yuanqiao smiled slightly and said, "Go, disciple!"

Sun Yanwan was full of doubts. When she left Taiyi Temple, she saw Sima Ziyan standing alone in the wind, leading a white horse and holding a bundle. She asked, "Sister Sima, what brings you here?
Without the eldest brother around, Sun Yanwan spoke more calmly. Sima Ziyan's eyes lit up slightly and she smiled, "Since you call me sister, I'm a few years older than you, so I'll just call you younger brother."

Although it was just a small change in address, the relationship between the two became more subtle. Sima Ziyan handed the bundle in her hand to Sun Yanwan and said, "I saw that the Taoist robe I was wearing was not very good, so I altered a set of clothes overnight. Try it on. If the size doesn't fit, I'll go back and make some more alterations."

Sun Yanwan's body was twelve years old, but her mental age was not ignorant. She saw that her elder sister had stayed up late to alter a set of clothes, which was very special. She took it with a smile and said, "How can I bear to wear clothes that Sister Sima altered with her own hands?"

He then realized, "Oh no, that was a bit frivolous. This is a martial arts world, and the culture is probably quite conservative, not like Earth's modern civilization. Using such frivolous words won't win any favor, and may even alert the girl."

His mind raced, his eyes reddened, and he choked with sobs, "My mother died early. You still remember that when I was three or four years old, she made me a new set of clothes..."

"That is also the only piece of clothing in my life that was made by my mother herself."

Speaking of this, Sun Yanwan felt really sad, because what he said was not a fabricated lie.

It wasn't Su Nanqiao who wore the handmade clothes from his mother when he was little, but Sun Yanwan who wore the handmade clothes from his mother when he was little. He even remembered that he would always be around his mother, just wanting to wear the new clothes as soon as possible. He would wear those clothes so beautifully that he would not even take them off when he went to bed.

But since then, he has never worn clothes made by his mother again.

Now, I am a human in two lifetimes...
