Chapter 105 No, You Came at the Right Time

The fifth elder looked around, his brows slightly furrowed, and he felt a strong sense of oppression.

"Where's Ye Yiyi?"

Jiang Jiu was stunned. What happened last night happened too suddenly, and there was no sign before Ye Yiyi left. So in the eyes of the Fifth Elder, Ye Yiyi should be absent now.

only....

Jiang Jiu was a little hesitant, because only she knew what had happened between her and Ye Yiyi.

But if she said it out loud, it would mean exposing part of her situation.

To be on the safe side, I'd better pretend I don't know.

"Lan Qi, Ye Yiyi has defected from the sect. There's no need to look for her."

Ji Chen's voice was vague and came from outside the gold workshop. Jiang Jiu turned around in surprise and saw the banished immortal-like man slowly walking forward.

Hearing this, the frown on the Fifth Elder's brow deepened.

"Although that child is not as good as Jiang Jiu, he is also very talented in refining weapons. Why is that?"

Ji Chen spoke lightly.

"She went to the forbidden area without permission yesterday and disappeared."

Having said that, Ji Chen paused again, his eyes swept over Jiang Jiu before continuing.

"She had an evil aura before she left. This was my fault. I will be responsible for finding her."

Jiang Jiu was shocked. She didn't expect Ye Yiyi to run into the forbidden area. The ancient evil demon sealed there was also an extremely threatening existence. If she accidentally released it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You guard the edge of the forbidden area all day long. Even if you're not there, you'll have the sword spirit stationed there. How could she have gotten in?"

The fifth elder was a little confused. It was the first time such a thing had happened in all the time since Ji Chen became the head of Juetian Sect.

"I don't know."

Ji Chen just shook his head and said nothing more, then turned to Jiang Jiu and gave him some instructions.

"I have failed in my duty as a teacher. I need to go deep into the forbidden area to capture the evil disciple."

"On the day of the sword-forging ceremony, I will come again to test your achievements."

Jiang Jiu looked at Ji Chen's cold eyes like the moon and nodded blankly. Every time Ji Chen looked at her so intently, Jiang Jiu felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him. The impact of the flower of Gaoling was as strong as ever.

"Yes, Master."

Ji Chen looked at his other two disciples, Yun Shuili and Yu Zimo, and stared at them straightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and never said a word.

The air was almost frozen.

After a while, Ji Chen spoke in a quiet tone.

"When I return, I hope to see your cultivation improve."

"As the master's disciple, you should focus on your cultivation on a daily basis and restrain all other thoughts."

Jiang Jiu felt uncomfortable all over because of this strange scene.

It would be fine if she didn't know the true identity and future identity of everyone present, but now she knew everything, which made the situation become subtle.

Especially Ji Chen seriously warned Yu Zimo to put away his little thoughts.

Those who don’t know would think that it was the master warning his disciple, but in Jiang Jiu’s eyes, it was a confrontation between good and evil.

"Master's teachings, disciples should obey."

The two men bowed their heads slightly and responded respectfully. At least on the surface, it seemed that the relationship between master and disciple was harmonious.

Jiang Jiu also lowered her head and pretended to be obedient, not noticing the hint of doubt that flashed in Ji Chen's eyes when he glanced at her.

Just as Ji Chen was about to leave, Jiang Jiu caught a glimpse of a white fluffy shadow out of the corner of his eye. It passed by Ji Chen's eyes carelessly, and Jiang Jiu's body straightened instantly.

The white fox stopped in front of Ji Chen, blocking his way, and it seemed that it had no intention of leaving.

"arctic fox?"

The fifth elder let out a cry of surprise, as Yuyin Peak was notorious for the extinction of animals.

Because of the weapon refining, Yuyin Peak is very noisy all year round. Animals seek benefits and avoid harm, so naturally they don't want to live here.

The sudden appearance of a white fox was a miracle in the eyes of the five elders.

"Ahem."

Jiang Jiu panicked.

What is going on? Ji Chen doesn't like fluffy things, and he might fight with Chi Li.

She immediately pretended to cough, lowered her head and winked at Sekirei frantically, but Sekirei completely ignored her hints and even sent her a joking message.

"Huh? Am I here at the wrong time?"

Jiang Jiu's face turned dark, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Chi Li sat down lazily!

He sat down!

What should Ginger Wine say now?

According to the plot, shouldn't she have said 'No, you came at the right time'.

But she only dared to think about it...

Just when Jiang Jiu thought Ji Chen would turn cold and ask what was going on with her fox, Ji Chen turned his head calmly and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Foxes are very cunning, so it's better not to get close to them."

This nonsensical sentence made Jiang Jiu break out in a cold sweat.

Because she saw the originally lazy-looking white fox narrow its eyes, revealing a dangerous aura. It raised its head slightly and turned towards Jiang Jiu, with its pointed ears tucked up, and its eyes were full of threats and dissatisfaction as it looked at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu swallowed quietly with a gulp. Now she was in a dilemma whether to agree or not. She was going crazy.

Jiang Jiu's eyes moved repeatedly between Fox and Ji Chen.

My mind was racing, and even though half of my brain cells were dead, I couldn't think of a way to not offend both of them.

“Um…..well, Master…”

While Jiang Jiu was hesitating, Ji Chen turned around and prepared to leave, but the last words he left behind made Jiang Jiu want to destroy the world.

"It's good that you understand my intention."

The white fox looked at Ji Chen's back as he flew away on his sword, and Jiang Jiu actually saw a sneer on the face of one of the foxes.

Fortunately, Jiang Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief as he didn't have to make the choice between death and rebirth.

...

"Because Ye Yiyi defected, the three of you, as direct disciples, need to perform the sword-forging ritual even more perfectly. Any flaw will be caught and widely publicized by other sects."

What the Fifth Elder said was not difficult to understand. As the number of targets decreased from four to three, the possibility of discovering loopholes became higher.

"During the sword forging process, the number of golden lines is used for evaluation. Top-level refiners can create twelve to thirteen golden lines, while you only need to achieve five to six."

As the Fifth Elder spoke, he remembered that, including today, there were only three days left until the sword-forging ceremony, and he added very conscientiously.

"Well...if you really can't do it, I've prepared a finished product for you, so you don't have to work so hard."

After all, there is no way to compare with an apprentice who has actually studied refining for two or three years, or even a refiner who has studied for five or six years. The Fifth Elder also did this for Ji Chen's face.

Jiang Jiu was so moved that he wanted to cry. The Fifth Elder seemed strict, but he was actually very caring.

"But now, you still need to practice seriously."

The fifth elder vaguely sensed Jiang Jiu's excitement and changed the subject.

In fact, Jiang Jiu and the others should have been sent to study earlier, but Jiang Jiu went to the monster spirit realm first.

After coming back, Ji Chen forgot about this matter for a long time until the Fifth Elder couldn't help but remind him, and then he remembered it.

But this was the master's mistake, and the fifth elder couldn't say anything, so he could only betray her good character.
