But just as Wang Yan entered a meditative state, Cang Jin suddenly poked his head in, "Boss, it's getting late. Should we continue on our way or rest?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan opened his eyes and looked at Wang Xian 'er, who was still in a deep sleep. After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"Let's not travel tonight. Let's find a place to hide from the wind and rest."
"Alright."
Not long after, the Dragon Scale Horse slowly stopped, and Wang Yan got off the carriage.
At this time, the setting sun had fallen between the sky and the earth, and the orange afterglow revealed the bleakness of one's twilight.
The clouds that connected the ends of the world were dyed with a layer of gorgeous and magnificent colors, like fire or water, falling and undulating.
Wisps of afterglow shone down from the gaps between the branches of the towering trees that reached into the clouds, landing on Wang Yan's delicate and handsome face, revealing a trace of exhaustion.
"I haven't seen such a gorgeous scenery in a long time."
Wang Yan slowly walked forward, as if he wanted to chase after the slowly disappearing light. Little did he know that just as he took a few steps, the afterglow peeled off his shoulders.
A gust of cold mountain wind blew, and Wang Yan actually felt a little cold.
In his surprise, he realized that the clothes on his back had already been drenched in sweat.
"The path of cultivation truly requires great willpower and courage. Only then will one be able to carve out a bright path."
"Indeed."
Unknowingly, Cang Jin had already arrived beside Wang Yan, squinting his eyes as he looked at the gradually fading afterglow at the end of the world.
His expressionless face revealed a tinge of reminiscence and sorrow.
"Cang Jin, have you ever regretted joining the Heaven Gate?"
Facing this sudden question, Cang Jin was startled for a moment, and decisively shook his head.
"I have never regretted it, but I feel honored."
"Oh?" Wang Yan was startled, and turned his head to look at him, "Why is that?"
Unexpectedly, Cang Jin smiled craftily for the first time. "Because I am the first disciple to join the Gate of Heaven. Those who join in the future will have to call me Eldest Senior Brother."
In an instant, Wang Yan's gaze froze, and then he shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Big Brother is biased. He watched the sunset with Senior Brother Cang Jin and didn't even call Xian 'er."
Right at this moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out.
Before Wang Yan could even open his mouth, a wisp of fragrant wind drilled into his nostrils. It was like an orchid, like musk, and was intoxicating.
Naturally holding onto Wang Yan's arm, Wang Xian 'er blushed. She bit her lips and leaned her head on his shoulder, which wasn't very wide.
"Brother, will you always stay by Xian 'er's side?"
The sudden soft words left Wang Yan at a loss for words. He didn't know how to respond.
"Cough cough …"
After coughing twice, Cang Jin tactfully walked to the side, "I'll go pick up some dry firewood and roast some meat later."
When his voice rang out, he had already walked far away.
Seeing that, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile, "This guy is usually like a fool. I didn't expect him to have a clever heart."
Wang Xian 'er was immediately amused by these words and giggled, "Brother, you're talking bad about Senior Brother Cang Jin behind his back. Aren't you afraid of being heard?"
"So what if he heard?
I'm his boss now, and also the Sect Leader! "
Looking at the serious expression on Wang Yan's face, Wang Xian 'er pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right, big brother is in the limelight now."
"Not only did you become Senior Brother Cang Jin's boss, you're also directly disciplining the only disciple in the sect."
When these words came out, Wang Yan awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and smiled.
"Xian 'er, go into the carriage and rest. It's cold at night."
Who would have thought that Wang Yan's words would immediately cause Wang Xian 'er to roll her eyes. She angrily put her hands on her hips.
"Xian 'er doesn't care about this bit of mountain wind. Don't forget, Xian' er is currently at the Star Forging realm."
With a chuckle, Wang Yan no longer spoke. He allowed Wang Xian 'er to lean on his shoulder as he watched the gradually darkening sky.
Waves of cold mountain wind blew past, bringing with it wisps of fragrance.
Several stars, unwilling to fall behind, scrambled to appear, adding a bit of vitality to the dark sky.
"Big brother, you still haven't answered Xian 'er's question."
"What question?"
"Did big brother forget?
It's that question from just now! "
Wang Yan's heart stirred. He turned his head to look at the beautiful face on his shoulder and nodded vigorously.
"I will. Big brother will always be by Xian 'er's side."
When these words came out, that beautiful face suddenly blossomed into a smile that caused all things to pale in comparison.
Wang Xian 'er once again rubbed against Wang Yan, half of her body falling into his embrace.
"I'm back."
At this moment, a muffled sound rang out. Cang Jin walked over from afar, carrying a pile of firewood.
Wang Xian 'er's red lips couldn't help but pout. She unhappily muttered, "Senior Brother Cang Jin really came back at a bad time."
Hearing this, Wang Yan helplessly smiled and patted her small head.
"Alright, go back to the carriage and rest. We'll be waiting for the delicious roast meat in a bit."
Watching the beautiful figure disappear into the carriage, Wang Yan finally walked towards Cang Jin.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that Cang Jin, who had once made tens of thousands of Sun Sect's outer disciples tremble in fear, actually had a perfectly preserved Grass Chicken Grouper in his storage ring.
He watched as Cang Jin skillfully turned the chicken leg that was sizzling with oil and sprinkled all kinds of spices on it from time to time.
In the end, Wang Yan still accepted this cruel reality: Cang Jin's skill in roasting meat was several streets ahead of him!
"I say, Cang Jin, do you often go out to roast meat by yourself?"
Facing Wang Yan's question, Cang Jin grinned, "Not often, I just used to do it when I was on the run."
When these words came out, Wang Yan immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, Cang Jin hurriedly said, "Boss, it's fine, I don't care about these things anymore."
Although he said this, Wang Yan still caught a flash of pain in the depths of Cang Jin's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yan asked, "All these years, have you … investigated the identity of that group of black-clothed masked men from back then?"
Sprinkling the last of the spices, Cang Jin shook his head, "I was young at that time, I've long forgotten those people's voices."
"But … their figures, as well as the cultivation methods and martial skills they used, have always been firmly engraved in the deepest part of my mind!"
A fierce look flashed through Cang Jin's eyes, and all the muscles in his body tightened at this moment.
After a few breaths, he returned to normal, grinned, and took out two jars of strong wine.
"Come, Boss, let's drink to our heart's content today."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, reached out to take the jars, and slapped off the seal with one palm, then raised his head and took a few gulps.
Cang Jin carried a blood feud on his back, and he would avenge it with his own hands for the rest of his life.
As the boss, Wang Yan had already made a vow in his heart.
When the day comes for Cang Jin's vengeance, he would take the lead and shield him from the rain of blood.
"What a delicious roast meat, can I have half of it?"
Just then, an impatient voice abruptly called out. Wang Yan immediately stood up, his eyes flashing like thunder towards a certain spot in the night.
At the same time, there was a burst of noise.
"Shuo Yun, don't be unreasonable!"
"Shuo Yun, don't be rude!"
A tall figure slowly walked out of the fire. The darkness gradually peeled off from his shoulders, revealing a resolute face that had been through the vicissitudes of life.
In the next moment, five figures of different heights slowly appeared in front of Wang Yan and Shuo Yun's eyes.
