Chapter 252: Quarrel and Heartache

Chi Jin cleared the yard of everyone with a wooden stool.

Wu Yu propped up her chin and looked at him. She raised her eyebrows and said mockingly, "What are you crazy about?"

In the past few days, Wu Yu had long been fed up with Chi Jin's appearance as a widower whose wife had died.

It's not like he's the only one worried.

Who are you showing this to?

Chi Jin glanced at her and sneered, "I think you are the one who is really crazy."

"You bring all kinds of cats and dogs into the yard. Are you the only one living in this yard?"

God knows.

How much Chi Jin wanted to tear Qi Baiji apart when she heard what he said!

What does it mean to be dying soon? What does it mean to be like that, Senior Sister?!

When Chi Jin heard these words in the room, she instantly recalled Ruan Wei's pale face, lying on the bed, dying.

The determination contained in Ruan Wei's deep black pupils when she looked at him was exactly the same as when she pushed him away the day before.

Determined and sacrificial.

Chi Jin had nightmares for several days.

In the dream, there was Ruan Wei's eyes, which seemed to have thousands of words to say, but she never expressed them.

In her dream, she only showed her eyes.

Just like in this life, Chi Jin only felt her tenderness for a few days.

Chi Jin didn't know why Ruan Wei did this, and he didn't want to understand.

He just wanted to know.

Why did Ruan Wei always push him away? Always... whenever he wanted to move forward, his senior sister would push him away without hesitation, and never even gave any explanation.

Chi Jin recalled the sudden glance that Chen Yuan gave her at that time.

He was always so sharp.

Chi Jin knew at a glance that Ruan Wei agreed to Chen Yuan probably because of her, but it was definitely not voluntary.

Is it... a half-demon?

Chen Yuan even used this to threaten Chi Jin at that time.

Apart from this, Chi Jin really couldn't think of anything else about herself that she was afraid of Ruan Wei knowing.

and……

Chi Jin quietly clenched his fists and once again felt the inexplicable heat in his body. His blood seemed to be boiling and tumbling, never stopping.

His blood seemed to be aroused.

Why.

Wu Yu slammed the table and stood up, "What did you say?"

"I just wanted to clarify the rumors for my senior sister!"

"Oh."

Chi Jin's laughter became even colder. He stared at Wu Yu closely, as if he wanted to see into her heart.

He spoke each word with emphasis:

"Whether it's clarification or self-consolation, you know it clearly."

As soon as the words fell, the whole yard fell silent.

Wu Yu suddenly lowered her head, her sharp nails digging deep into her palms, and her face gradually turned pale.

Chi Jin, "What's wrong with worrying about her? Why can't I admit it?"

He raised his eyebrows, his expression as cold and stern as ever.

Chi Jin knows Wu Yu very well.

Just as he knew everyone in Penglai Immortal Sect.

Chi Jin knew.

The only thing about Fourth Senior Sister that she is the most stubborn is her mouth. She seems to be ashamed to express her worries, and she never wants to reveal her true thoughts in public.

When it comes to what Wu Yu wants, she would at most only mention it in a roundabout way, and she never fights for it.

Just like now.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was not right with the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Chi Jin felt that there was nothing to hide. The departure of her senior sister was very heavy for each of them.

He is very frank.

But Wu Yu is very sensitive.

This created a point of conflict between Chi Jin and Wu Yu.

Wu Yu wanted to pretend to be calm and to gloss over the situation.

Although she was obviously extremely worried, she still said that she believed Ruan Wei would be fine. However, these words only comforted herself.

Chi Jin is another kind of person.

He has never been afraid to expose his most embarrassing side to others.

What's more, Chi Jin enjoyed the pleasure brought by the wound being torn apart.

He followed his heart.

So he looked down on Wu Yu who always went against his own heart.

Chi Jin is still saying:

"Can they listen to a single word you say to them? How good do you think you can be at covering it up? After all, how can anyone else believe something you don't even believe yourself?"

Wu Yu's eyes were red with anger, "Then what do you say we should do?!"

She was indeed afraid.

Wu Yu always believed in Ruan Wei, but that didn't stop her from worrying about her.

Anyway, the door was closed and Third Uncle had gone out.

It was the first time Wu Yu had such a loud argument with Chi Jin. Her eyes were red. “It’s been three days! The three days we agreed on are almost up, and Senior Sister hasn’t come back yet!”

"You're so smart, so tell me, besides helping her calm these people's slowly becoming restless minds, what else can we do?!"

Chang Huaijin was already stunned by the sudden quarrel between his junior fellow apprentice and his sister.

Seeing the situation getting more intense, he quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, "Alright, alright. Are you two really that angry today?"

I'm just worried about my senior sister.

Chang Huaijin didn't understand why the two of them could even argue about this.

He is worried too!

But no matter how worried you are, you can’t make a big noise here!!

Be careful, the big brother in the room might hear you and come out to give you two a big bag!!!

Chang Huaijin held one of them with each hand, trying to separate them.

But no matter how hard Chang Huaijin tried, Chi Jin's feet didn't move at all.

Chang Huaijin, “…”

Junior brother, you must have eaten the weight. It's so heavy.

Chi Jin stiffened his neck, staring at Wu Yu with a pair of indifferent peach blossom eyes. He took deep breaths, trying hard to control himself.

Chi Jin knew it a long time ago.

Sooner or later, he and Wu Yu would have such a quarrel.

Since her previous life, Chi Jin had always wanted to scold Wu Yu and wake him up.

It's just that his temperament used to be even colder than it is now, and he wasn't as close to Wu Yu as he is now, so he kept putting it off, and Chi Jin didn't say much.

But now…

Chi Jin's eyes were also filled with blazing fire.

He really wants to have a debate with her today!

Chi Jin opened his mouth, and Chang Huaijin reached out to cover his mouth, but Chi Jin turned his head away.

Chi Jin, "What are you talking about?"

The veins on his forehead throbbed as he asked, "Do we really have to participate in this Ten Directions Competition?"

Wu Yu was stunned.

Chi Jin took a deep breath. He didn't want to say unpleasant words to people close to him.

That's very hurtful.

In his previous life, on the eve of "Comforting the Souls", after he said those words to his senior sister, Chi Jin understood this truth.

He didn't want to regret it a second time.

Chi Jin suppressed her temper and asked, "Didn't you ask me what else we can do?"

"Always hold Yu."

He called her name.

Chi Jin's eyes reflected Wu Yu, but he seemed to see the jade statue with half-white long hair and sitting like a jade Buddha.

The fourth senior sister who was still saying sorry before she died, you are the only one left.

She said, you are still so young.

But she wasn't that old then...

Chi Jin suppressed the emotions that gradually welled up in his eyes and said slowly:

“There’s so much we can do.”

"If Senior Sister doesn't return tonight, we can go to the demon world to look for her. If we can't find her, we can complain to Master and go to the ancestors to make a fuss. She was lost in Tongzhou, so we can put pressure on Tongzhou—"

Wu Yu's straight shoulders suddenly slumped.

She covered her face.

yes.

There are so many things they can do, so why, why are their emotions getting worse day by day?

Wu Yu suddenly realized.

Ruan Wei meant too much to her in her heart. The moment she realized that her senior sister favored her, Wu Yu had already placed Ruan Wei on an equal footing.

Her loss of contact was unexpected.

As calm as Wu Yu was in trying to persuade Cui Yanjun, he was actually quite panicked inside.

She had never been the older one.

To be honest, during the decades of being with Chang Huaijin, Wu Yu always self-righteously gave in to Chang Huaijin.

In fact, Chang Huaijin was more often in a good mood and coaxed her.

Xiao Xuantong likes to pat her head, Ruan Wei likes to coax her, Chang Huaijin never gets angry with her, and Chi Jin never fights with her except for being mean.

Wu Yu is still a little girl.

This is a fact recognized by everyone in Penglai Immortal Sect.

"Chang Wuyu... Fourth Senior Sister..."

Chi Jin patted her shoulder.

The young man almost bent down and shook hands with his hands. He had never spoken in such a gentle tone before, so he seemed a little stiff.

But the words were sincere: "You can worry, you can cry, you can be angry."

A wind suddenly blew, and the fallen leaves in the yard fluttered and fell to the ground.

Wu Yu choked up and asked, "...Why?"

She didn't know what she was asking, but she seemed to need an answer, a definite answer without any hesitation.

Chi Jin, "Because we think you can."

We = Penglai Immortal Sect.
