Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Brother, don’t I have a reward...
Ji Chu knew that cheating would be useless if used too much. Moreover, although his senior brother was ruthless, he was also a "good teacher" who was extremely hard to find.
Although she was beaten by Taozhi, her swordsmanship improved remarkably.
Who doesn't like to become stronger?
Thinking of this, Ji Chu simply didn't sleep. He got up and practiced sword skills while reciting sword techniques.
As he was practicing, Ji Chu suddenly felt that a large amount of spiritual power that had been stagnant in his body was slowly flowing, circling along the spiritual veins, and was finally absorbed by his dantian.
She pressed her dantian in surprise and could clearly feel the warmth and comfort between her fingers. She even felt an indescribable comfort all over her body, as if she was soaking in warm water.
She seems to be...about to level up!
Only then did Ji Chu understand the deep meaning behind her senior brother's insistence on personally accompanying her in sword practice.
There was too much spiritual power accumulated in her body that could not be subdued, so she took the opportunity of practicing sword skills to not only improve her sword skills, but also to induce her to unconsciously circulate spiritual power under tension, which was actually more efficient than usual.
Ji Chu was in a very good mood. After expressing his gratitude to his senior brother in his heart, he immediately entered into a state of meditation to seek a breakthrough.
He advanced three levels in one night and directly reached the sixth level of the Profound Realm.
The Xuanzhen Huajing is divided into ten levels, with every three levels forming a Kan, and a calamity forming a full nine levels.
With each level up, the difficulty increases exponentially.
She had been stuck at the third level of the Profound Realm for a long time, but unexpectedly she advanced three levels, completely overcoming a whole hurdle!
It’s really shocking!
This was the first time in Ji Chu's two lives that she had advanced so smoothly, and it was a major breakthrough in her two lives.
She wanted to grab her senior brother and spin him around for a few times, but she was afraid that he would treat her like a fool and push her out the door, so she had to suppress her excitement, got up and went to Elder Xu's sword class first.

As soon as Xue Xianchen saw Ji Chu, he took the initiative to step forward.
He changed his clothes again today. It was no longer bright red or purple, but a very simple and elegant white.
The fabric at the neckline is somewhat transparent, revealing a few faint crisscross scars.
The sleeves were rolled up, revealing a piece of white jade-like forearm. There was a slanted scar on it that was particularly conspicuous, and the edges were a little blue and purple, which showed that Ji Chu was ruthless when he attacked yesterday.
Somehow, Ji Chu always felt that this dress looked familiar, and seemed to be somewhat similar to what his senior brother wore yesterday.
Xue Xianchen seemed completely unaware and even asked her:
"Ah Chu, do you think I look good in white?"
Ji Chu: “It’s ugly.”
Hearing her words, Xue Xianchen's face turned cold at first, but then he remembered something and smiled, saying softly:
"I also think white is not a good color. It's too cold and desolate."
He took a step forward and leaned close to Ji Chu's ear:
"Look, even the marks left by Achu on my body can't be blocked."
The boy's warm breath hit her ear unexpectedly.
Ji Chu: “……!”
She shuddered suddenly, slapped him in the face with her backhand, and took two steps back to distance herself:
"Stop talking nonsense!"
This palm strike was not intended to hit anyone, it was purely an instinctive reaction, just to push his face away.
Xue Xianchen's face was a little deformed by her strong push. His body swayed twice, then he stood still and gently stroked the place she touched. His eyes were a little vague, as if he was savoring the feeling of his cheek being squeezed by her palm.
His perverted look made Ji Chu want to wash his hands.
Then Xue Xianchen curled his lips and looked at her with a certain amusement:
"I haven't congratulated Ah Chu yet, he finally got promoted."
The young man had a dazzling appearance, with a blush on his fair face, like rosy clouds reflecting the moon, attracting the attention of many disciples.
He really had a good appearance. His harmless appearance coupled with the obvious scars on his body was enough to fool everyone.
Over the past few days, everyone has become accustomed to Xue Xianchen and Ji Chu being together, and the previous disagreements have become "emotional disputes" between the boy and girl that should not be told to outsiders.
Ji Chu's "taking the opportunity to retaliate" also makes Xue Xianchen seem more "loyal".
She never understood.
In her previous life, she was ignorant and deceived by Xue Xianchen's appearance. She never said a bad word to him, but he hated her very much, plotted against her repeatedly, and wanted to strangle her to death.
Now that he was too lazy to pretend and would beat and scold him at any time, Xue Xianchen became like a sticky candy and insisted on coming over to ask for a beating and scolding.
Even when I hit him myself, he laughed even more happily.
Is he really a pervert?
While Ji Chu was thinking, Xue Xianchen's voice clearly reached everyone's ears:
"If Ah Chu is annoyed that my white clothes can't hide these scars, I'll change back to dark clothes tomorrow, okay?"
The gazes from all directions suddenly became strange.
Ji Chu suddenly felt annoyed and disgusted, as if he was stuck with a piece of taffy that couldn't be shaken off.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Xue Xianchen, but he insists on getting close to her, making everyone think that they have a very good relationship.
Even Xu Ying secretly asked her if she had a crush on the guy named Xue?
He also generously stated that although they had some old grudges, considering Xue Xianchen's good looks, if Ji Chu really liked him, he could invite him to have dinner together.
Heaven and earth, conscience!
Ji Chu wanted to skin Xue Xianchen alive, how could he possibly look down on him!
But even Xu Ying thought so, Ji Chu couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
The other party's purpose is still unclear, she can only warn Xu Ying:
You must stay away from Xue Xianchen, he is not a good person.
I don’t know whether Xu Ying listened to it or not, but Ji Chu felt that Xue Xianchen must be planning something.
Because Xue Xianchen had tricked him with his "scar", Ji Chu was afraid that he would accidentally step into another trap, so he ignored Xue Xianchen's words and pretended that he "didn't hear or understand". He walked away under the gossiping gazes of other disciples and hid in a corner to practice sword alone.
Xue Xianchen didn't follow him.
But before leaving after class, he looked at her again, with an indescribable meaning, like the look he gave her in his previous life when she interrupted the fusion of his divine bones, which made Ji Chu feel a chill on his back.

Because of Xue Xianchen's gaze, Ji Chu was a little uneasy the whole day, and was only happy for a short while when her senior brother praised her for her level-up.
Therefore, when her senior brother asked her about her sword techniques, she stumbled and recited several of them incorrectly.
Meng Yuci's face darkened.
The air seemed to cool down a bit, Ji Chu came back to his senses with a start, and said hurriedly:
"Brother, I was wrong."
She said it so smoothly, as if it were as common as breathing, and it was obvious that she didn't take it seriously.
Meng Yuci didn't say anything and asked a new question.
Ji Chu: “…”
Damn it! I seemed to have just memorized this yesterday, but I forgot it as soon as I started speaking today!
She scratched her head for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She wished she could turn her eyes and take another peek at the book.
Meng Yuci didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at her quietly, giving her enough time to recall.
It was eerily quiet.
Ji Chu struggled for a long time, but finally gave up in despair:
"I forgot."
Meng Yuci nodded, saying that he was "prepared" for this result.
"If you have no intention of practicing, then there is no need to continue."
He closed the book, said this, and then stood up and left, leaving her with a ruthless back.
Ji Chu: “Ah?”
She was expecting a violent scolding from her senior brother, but who knew he would be so "considerate" and let her go?
This is even more painful than beating her up!
Ji Chu felt uneasy.
Seeing that the senior brother left resolutely, he was obviously annoyed by her repeated distractions and did not intend to continue "tutoring" her.
Ji Chu scratched his head for a while, then walked away dejectedly.
That night she worked hard and memorized the entire book of sword techniques, striving to not make a single mistake and not let her senior brother spot her mistakes again.
The next day I came to see my senior brother as usual.
Meng Yuci noticed the dark circles under her eyes and frowned slightly:
"What's going on?"
Ji Chu was eager to fight, his mind full of fighting to win back the place, and he didn't want to waste time on other things, so he urged him:
"Nothing happened. Brother, you can ask any questions you want today. If you get even one wrong, I lose!"
Meng Yuci then withdrew his gaze and asked a few questions.
Ji Chu's efforts were not in vain. His answer was fluent and not a single word was wrong.
She looked extremely proud, raised her chin slightly, and looked at him with her dark lower eye sockets, expecting praise.
Meng Yuci said, "That's right."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chu raised his arms and shouted, "Great!"
Turning back to see her brother still looking at her, she immediately retracted her arms, suppressed the corners of her mouth that were raised too much, and said reservedly:
"It's okay. I just recited it casually and performed normally."
Meng Yuci laughed.
Ji Chu stretched out his hand to him again, blinking his eyes with anticipation:
"Brother, don't I have a reward?"
He wanted to say "no".
Who would come and ask for reward just for memorizing a few sword techniques?
But Ji Chu stared at him eagerly, with his hands facing upwards, his fingers slightly bent, his palms pink and white. When he looked up at him, his eyes were as bright as stars, almost blinding.
The words of refusal stopped on his lips. He looked at her for a few times, thought for a while, then lightly held her slender wrist, took out a red fruit and placed it on her open palm.
My palm sank.
Ji Chu exclaimed "Eh" and found a plump and round panpan fruit standing in his hand. His eyes immediately lit up.
She raised her head and looked at him expectantly.
"Just one?"
Meng Yuci frowned:
"If you don't want to eat it, give it to me."
"Just one! Of course I'll eat it!"
Ji Chu's face changed and he pulled his hand back decisively, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind. He held the fruit in both hands and took a big bite.
Meng Yuci's hands were empty, but his fingertips still retained the touch of her delicate and smooth wrist.
He looked up at Ji Chu, who was concentrating on chewing the fruit in her mouth.
Watching her lower her head to eat the fruit, Meng Yuci suddenly thought of the rabbit on Qingji Peak.
The chubby rabbits fed by Ji Chu were just like her, holding the bright red fruit and eating with their three-petaled mouths puffed out, looking very focused and devout.
Is it that delicious?
He couldn't help but think in his heart.
It is clear that the pure energy in the elixir is more abundant.
Or do kids prefer snacks?
Meng Yuci thought carefully and secretly checked his storage bag. He saw that it was filled with snacks that he had "confiscated" from his master that day, and he took out a plate of fruit.
Ji Chu had already finished eating the previous panpan fruit. Although he had been "pious" enough, he still regretted that he ate too fast.
Seeing the fruit in his brother's hand, he immediately became excited, thinking that his brother was indeed a good person, and couldn't wait to ask:
"Is this for me too?"
Seeing her anticipation, Meng Yuci moved the fruit away from her and said:
"Practice swordplay first."
