,,god dammit boy speak properly", which was directed towards Jin ling as he stood in front of his uncle, Jiang Cheng, again but this time he was completely wasted from crying. ,,But uncle you are at fault if you would have let me go to the night hunt with Shizui, Jingyi and Zizhen then this wouldn't have happened", screamed the young Jin heir furiously.
The disciples practising outside sighed loudly as they heard the shouting from the Golden Carp Tower again. This was the seventh time already this week and it was only Tuesday. Them shouting happened quite often but let us start with how it all began.
It all started when Jin Rulan came back from when he ran away to go to Yi city. Unfortunately, he did not think about the fact that his uncle could find out that he was not where he was supposed to be and already waited inside his bedchamber at Jinlintai. As he arrived at his bedroom he was immediately shouted at.
When he realised that Jiang Cheng caught him, he wanted to run away but did not as he saw that his uncle already had Zidian out ready to hit him any moment. So, he kneeled and listened to his uncle's hour-long lecture about how he would break both of his legs and more. As soon as Jin Ling heard this his head shot up a bit, he knew his uncle would not hurt him, but he was still a bit afraid as Jiang Cheng had quite a bad temper.
When Jiang Cheng finally finished his lecture Jin Ling thought he was finally saved and could go any time soon, but he thought wrong. His final words were:,, You're under house arrest. You are not allowed to leave Jinlintai for the next two weeks, no friends or other people coming over, especially not chief cultivator Jin Guangyao and give me Suihua and Fairy. You get them back when the arrest is over. Behave any worse than this and the punishment will get worse." Jin Ling wanted to protest but did not as he saw his uncle's stern face.
This sent shivers down his whole body. When Jiang Cheng left Jin Ling's Bedchamber, he broke down crying over his last memorial of his father and his dog Fairy.
He burned the Talisman Shizui gave him as a signal to let them know he could not go night hunting with them after all.
After a few hours of Jin Ling crying in his room, he finally fell asleep completely exhausted.
The next few days his daily routine only consisted of barely eating then practising with a random sword for a few hours just to return to his room and cry himself to sleep.
On the eighth Day after their last fight, Clan Leader Jiang returned to Jinlintai to look after his nephew. It did not matter how mad or upset he was with his nephew he still cared a lot about him,his only remaining family.
As he saw Jin Rulan getting out of the building and heading towards his usual practising place, he noticed how thin and exhausted his nephew looked. A bit worried he went over to him and told Jin Ling to meet him in his room when he would be finished with his training.
2 hours later Jin Ling was finally finished and went to his uncle's bedroom to meet him as agreed. When he arrived, he was told to sit down and as soon as he did, he got Fairy and his Sword Suihua back. He was surprised but also so happy to have them back that he started to cry heavily and just murmured why a couple of times. Jiang Cheng just said that he should behave himself from now on or else this will happen again in his usual stern voice.
Usually, Jin Ling would not dare to do this but right now he was so happy that he could not think normally and just ran to his uncle and hugged him. Tears and snot getting on Jiang Cheng's clothes. Jiang Cheng would not accept this normally but as he was really surprised at the moment, he accepted the hug and hugged his nephew back.
After the sentimental moment, both were too prideful to talk about the hug and just went back to their usual behaviour which was shouting at each other as both had a really bad temper. This brings us back to the beginning.
Both would not dare to talk about this ever again as any physical or emotional contact was not usual for any of those two, but both cherish this moment as this was the first time they hugged and probably will remain as the first end last time of physical intimacy as a family.
