beg for chivalry

"Your name is... Yujiachen, right?"

Three years ago, when a voice suddenly came from his ear, Yu Jiachen was so frightened that he almost knelt in the snow.

At this time, he had stood in the snow for three hours, his legs submerged in the snow were bruised and stiff, and he could no longer move.At this time, if someone wants to, just push lightly, and Yu Jiachen will probably fall straight into the snow.

Due to being frozen in the ice and snow for a long time, although he managed to retain a sliver of sanity, his body had already lost consciousness first, and he could not move at all.And the teeth that were clenched tightly to keep out the cold could not be loosened at all, so Yu Jiachen whimpered vaguely like this, moving his stiff neck to look at the person coming.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the man stroked his chin and said in confusion. "Huh? Aren't you Yujiachen?" Zhuan You whispered. "The name chosen by the elder is really random. The heavenly stems and the earthly branches are random, and it is another name. If it is not called Yujiachen, is it Yujia, Yuyi, Yubing or Yuding..."

What a strange person.

While shivering, Yu Jiachen thought vaguely.

The man was wearing a big bamboo hat, and the gauze hanging from the edge of the hat fluttered with the strong wind, but no one could see the face hidden under it clearly.The plain white clothes outline his thin figure, making him ethereal at first glance, as if he is about to melt into the snow all over the sky.

Is it male or female?The man's voice sounded young, making one think it was coming from a young man, but his figure was as soft as a spring bud, more graceful than a new willow.Yu Jiachen was in no mood to think about these issues at this time, because he was so cold that he almost lost consciousness.

The man was still talking to himself. "I understand, you did something wrong and you were punished by the elders here. Alas, I have done a lot of wrong things, and it is common to be punished like you. It's just that it was really cold today, It’s really hard work for you, brother.”

"Jade...Jiachen."

Finally, the boy gritted his teeth and said his name.Just after uttering a few words, he felt a chill that made his soul tremble, and he couldn't speak the next words.

"Huh?" The man didn't expect Yu Jiachen to be able to speak, and he was obviously taken aback.After a while, the man laughed.

"Yujiachen... yes, it should be the name. Jia is the first of all things, and Chen is the yang energy. It seems that I remembered it correctly."

So, why is he, Yu Jiachen, here?In fact, Yu Jiachen was punished by the elders.The reason is that Yu Jiachen miscalculated the number of fasting meals during the January Qingzhai day at Tianshan Gate yesterday, and the wine buried in the ground was missing for some reason, so the elders thought he was unable to take care of it. Because of this, he severely punished this high-spirited kid among his disciples.

Although it is understandable that Yu Jiachen would be considered disrespectful if he made such a mistake during the fasting sun, it seems a little unreasonable to punish people so far.

But this little disciple couldn't perceive the injustice, and he himself has a stubborn temperament that looks for the truth and prefers to dig into dead ends.If someone says that he is wrong, he will correct it regardless, even if the "wrong" is just a casual remark of others.

So when the elder punished him to stand in the snow for two hours, Yu Jiachen thought that he must stand for four hours, otherwise he would be neglecting the Tianshan sect rules and the elders of the sect.Three hours passed in a daze, even though his bones and blood were almost frozen due to the extreme cold, he still insisted on standing with a stubborn heart.

"That's enough, Junior Brother." Seeing that he was still biting his bruised lips after saying his name, the man finally restrained his smile from speaking. "I saw you standing here when I practiced swords in the early morning, and I didn't move for three hours. Even if I made some big mistakes, the people here should have forgiven you long ago."

Yu Jiachen kept silent for a long time, and then tried to shake his head with all his strength.

"What are you afraid of, Junior Brother? Are you worried about the jokes of your fellow disciples? There is no one here except you and me. The disciples are all going to practice martial arts in the martial arts field. If you want to leave, naturally no one will laugh at you." The man was very funny. .

it's not true.Yu Jiachen shook his head again, the persistent look in his eyes remained unchanged.

The man sighed. "Is that because you are afraid that the elders will trouble you later? Sigh, although those seniors are strong in martial arts, they are all obedient characters. Why do you have to obey them in everything?"

Yu Jiachen recalled the faces of the elders who were as cold as ice, like old beards, and couldn't help shivering.But he still straightened his neck and shook his head desperately.

"Alas—" Unexpectedly, the man let out a long sigh, as if he knew Yu Jiachen's answer well. "I understand."

"You are neither afraid of jokes from your classmates, nor are you afraid of being scolded by the elders. It's just that... your heart is too arrogant and you can't let go of your self-esteem." The man said, the cold voice came from behind the dancing veil.

It was difficult for Yu Jiachen to accept these words for a while.If one is taught to lose self-respect, doesn't that mean falling into the same position as self-contempt?

But that person doesn't seem to mean that.The meaning of the words is: he is too stubborn in his own ideas.The elders only punished him for two hours, but Yujiachen had to stand for three hours. This move is not only useless, but it will also not change the elders' opinion of him.In the end, it was just his paranoia at work, and he moved himself.

A look of unwillingness flashed across Yu Jiachen's face for a moment, which did not escape the other party's eyes.

"Let's go if you have figured it out, if the younger brother wants to stand on the way to the top of the mountain, I will feel uneasy because of it." The man helped the bamboo hat and said with a calm smile.

"Why... why."

Yu Jiachen struggled to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

Why are you saying these things to yourself?Why do you feel uneasy about this?After all, who is this person?He wanted to ask too many questions, but was unable to spit them out one by one.

"Because Junior Brother is not like me, but he is a good seed in martial arts. If this good seed is damaged here, I will be very sad."

The man smiled mysteriously, and stepped forward to look at Yu Jiachen.When he got closer, Yu Jiachen suddenly noticed a long knife hanging from the man's waist.

——It’s the Jade White Sword!

Yu Jiachen, who admired Yubai sword technique since he was a child, naturally wouldn't mistake it.He had heard that the jade white knife was crystal clear, as if carved from ice and made of jade, and he had also seen various brushwork techniques depicting this knife in books and paintings.

Until today, he was able to see him.That saber really lived up to its reputation, even just looking at it can instantly frighten people's minds.It really is as clean and beautiful as jade, and as clear as snow.

And who else could it be with this jade white sword?

Yu Jiachen can only think of one person, and there is only one person in this world.

"You..." I couldn't tell whether it was because of the frozen tongue or the shock, but in short, Yu Jiachen let out a distracted voice.

The man smiled lightly, and this smile caused the jade pendant hanging on the handle to tremble slightly.Yu Jiachen's eyes unconsciously flew to the hanging jade ornaments, and suddenly he was hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky and five thunders.

The disciples of Tianshanmen will hang jade beads on the swords as proof of entering the sect.The disciples who have just started can only hang one jade | bead, and the best among the juniors like Yu Jiachen can only hang two at most.

But there was actually a jade pendant hanging on the man's knife.

This only means one thing: this person's status is even higher than the elders who are in charge of everything in the sect.Yu Jiachen, who usually stood still with his head bowed when he saw an elder, could not have imagined that if one day he saw such a person with a jade pendant on his knife, what would he do?

As if seeing Yu Jiachen's panic, the man smiled and revealed his identity. "If the elder refuses to listen to the words of the elder, what about the words of the sect master? Junior brother, this is a plea for flaws, please leave this icy world first."

That's right, exactly as Yu Jiachen expected.That weird figure wearing a hanging gauze hat and a long knife hanging from his waist is Yu Qiuxia, who is famous all over the world for his set of swordsmanship consisting of only three swords. White Swordsman!

Yuqiuxia, the meaning contained in this name is: white jade is flawless, but its personality and martial arts are even better than perfect jade.It is because of flawlessness that he can say such arrogant words as "seeking flaws".Because of this, Yu Jiachen has always believed that Yubai Swordsman is an arrogant and frivolous person, but now he realizes that the other party is not only not arrogant, but also more approachable.

"Junior brother, let's go."

The man reached out to help him, his tone soft and soothing.The moment the hand touched him, Yu Jiachen trembled violently.

This trembling was not due to the cold, but because the man's hand was no different from ordinary people, it was so warm that it almost made Yu Jiachen cry.Even in this freezing climate, he seemed to return to the human world immediately.

Perhaps it was because his heart had been tense for a long time, but this relaxation made Yu Jiachen feel dizzy all over, his eyes turned dark and he fell straight forward.When he was about to faint, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the man's veil fluttering in the wind, and there seemed to be a pair of obsidian-like quiet and clear eyes staring at him carefully in the dark.
