Chapter 74 Chapter 74 How could she possibly hurt her senior brother...
Ji Chu's eyes fell on the hand holding her wrist.
His five fingers were long, thin and powerful, with slightly raised knuckles. His fingertips slid down the back of her hand and fingers, and with a light squeeze, he completely wrapped her sword-holding hand.
For the first time, Ji Chu noticed that the pads of her senior brother's index and middle fingers were covered with a thin layer of calluses. When they rubbed against her knuckles, the touch was so clear that it was hard to ignore.
At the same time, the voice of her senior brother came close to her ear:
"Flying flowers and glimpses of shadows don't require you to be deliberately gentle. On the contrary, the momentum should be even faster."
A light breath brushed past her ear.
Ji Chu's wrist trembled and he almost couldn't hold the sword.
The five fingers covering the back of her hand closed in time, firmly grasping her hand and the hilt.
Then he exerted force and moved her entire arm horizontally to the left.
The sword flashed like a sudden lightning, and a sudden gust of wind blew up through the ginkgo treetops.
"concentrate."
The senior brother noticed her stunned look, squeezed her sword-holding hand, and gently reminded her.
Although he didn't have much strength, Ji Chu felt his bones were stiff.
But this was not the first time that her senior brother had taught her sword techniques.
I didn't feel anything was wrong in the past, but today it felt like there were thorns in my clothes, making me feel uncomfortable all over.
Even the most familiar sword-holding posture made her feel awkward. She had no idea how to position her five fingers. It was only with the pressure of her senior brother's fingertips that she was able to hold the hilt of the sword firmly.
Meng Yuci noticed her hesitation in raising her sword and thought she was unaccustomed to this kind of swordsmanship, so he reminded her before changing her moves:
"You need to retreat here, don't turn hard."
Ji Chu: "...Oh, okay."
The senior brother seemed to be focused on teaching, and Ji Chu felt very uncomfortable. He could neither say anything like "I don't want to learn anymore" to show his disapproval, nor did he feel that he should not be distracted by thinking about other things at this time.
So she had to force herself to forget those messy thoughts and concentrate on the sword.
Meng Yuci looks cold and indifferent, but in fact he is always cruel and brutal when he draws his sword. If he doesn't kill with one sword, his sword will be murderous and sharp. How could he have used such fancy sword techniques as "Flying Flowers and Shadows"?
But now, even with Ji Chu, a "burden" who is as stiff as a wooden man, he can still easily perform a whole set of sword moves with a sense of agility and elegance, which is truly amazing.
Ji Chu originally didn't think that "Flying Flowers and Snapping Shadows" was anything special and just thought of it as an ordinary sword technique.
But after being used by my senior brother, I found that there were hidden secrets everywhere.
Under his control, the Xunzhen Sword was like the light wind and the misty clouds. Wherever the sword passed, there was no murderous intent, but ginkgo leaves fell to the ground with a flutter.
One of the pieces fell on the tip of the sword, but it didn't fall off.
The shadows of the leaves were cast on the ground as the sword moved, just like flowers blooming on the sword. The afterimages passed by, taking people's lives invisibly.
…
After practicing a set of sword techniques, the two of them were surrounded by golden leaves.
Meng Yuci let go of her hand, took two steps away from her, and then said:
"Do you understand?"
His white clothes looked particularly elegant against the golden background. His black hair fell like inky brocade, making his face look like a jade crown and extremely cold.
When he lowered his eyes slightly to look at her, his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes.
The black eyes are like clear black jade, making people want to get closer and touch them.
The witches and shamans are really too beautiful.
Ji Chu had just taken his eyes off the sword and turned around to see such a stunning face. He was stunned for a moment.
She had long known that her senior brother was very handsome.
In her past and present lives combined, she had never seen anyone more handsome than her senior brother.
I thought that after living together every day in this life, I should have been immune to this.
But looking at his senior brother at this moment, Ji Chu had to admit that this fruit was indeed a little too beautiful...
If only there were no bad seeds...
Seeing Ji Chu staring at him blankly, as if he was looking at some rare and beautiful treasure.
Meng Yuci couldn't help laughing, and a tiny light flashed in his black jade-like eyes.
The smile was fleeting, and he quickly returned to his cold and indifferent appearance, pretending not to notice her distraction, and reached out his hand, trying to touch her hair.
Ji Chu suddenly came to his senses and raised his head to avoid it.
Meng Yuci had anticipated this and had already pressed her shoulders with one hand, holding her firmly in front of him.
"Don't move."
He held her down, took a ginkgo leaf from her head, pinched it between his fingertips and showed it to her.
Then he asked calmly:
"What are you hiding from?"
Ji Chu: “…”
Meng Yuci continued:
"I've been teaching you for a long time, but you're either distracted or in a daze. Forget it, let's practice."
There are no peach trees here. If the branches are used to make swords, it will affect the effect of Ji Chu's "Flying Flowers and Shadows".
So he held the Shaowei Sword, stood still, and nodded to Ji Chu:
"Strike quickly and change moves gently. Once you're ready, go for it."
Ji Chu couldn't help but glance at the sword in his hand.
She felt her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't sort out her thoughts at all.
Sometimes it was the flower behind her neck that had been reborn with her, and sometimes it was her senior brother’s nonchalant attitude.
Senior brother must have discovered it a long time ago, why didn’t he ask?
but……
If the senior brother really asked, could they still get along so calmly?
Maybe it’s impossible...
Her heart felt empty.
When he reacted again, his body's reaction was faster than his thinking. The sword of Xunzhen broke through the air, drawing a sharp streak of light.
She didn't use the "Flying Flowers and Glancing Shadows" sword technique at all, but instead used the moves she had only used in the past when she was forced into a corner and just wanted to win.
A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Yuci's face.
But he did not speak out to stop him. Instead, he used Shaowei Sword to block and took Ji Chu's sword head-on.
Ji Chu knew that he couldn't hit the target with one strike, so he had already thought about his next sword move when he made the move.
As the two swords collided, she turned her wrist, and the blade of Xunzhen's sword brushed past Shaowei's sword, forcing him to move closer to the ginkgo tree behind him.
Then he suddenly turned around, and the sword moved sharply and ruthlessly cut across his senior brother's neck.
The surprise in Meng Yuci's eyes became even more apparent.
While dodging sideways, the Shaowei sword turned in his hand, facing Ji Chu with only the sword surface, forcing her to put away the sword and step back to avoid the attack.
But Ji Chu didn't.
She continued to pursue her senior brother with her sword, not slowing down her momentum. She would rather be injured in the abdomen than not stab him with the sword.
Meng Yuci also saw her intention and his expression turned a little colder.
The next moment, he suddenly put away his sword and let Ji Chu rush forward. The blade of Xunzhen's sword brushed past his neck, cutting off a strand of black hair and piercing straight into the ginkgo tree trunk behind him.
The fluttering ginkgo leaves were knocked down by her blow, and a continuous and light "gingkgo leaf rain" fell around Ji Chu and Meng Yuci.
The sword wind cut a hole in the senior brother's collar, revealing his jade-white skin. Gradually, a long red mark seeped out of it.
Ji Chu's sword paused.
She was very close to her senior brother and could clearly see the red mark pressed on the jade-like skin. It was as clear as a red rope spread out on the snow, and the red was shocking.
Ji Chu opened her eyes wide, and her drifting thoughts finally caught up with her mind.
Realizing what she had done, she was startled, took a step back, and hurriedly removed the sword from her senior brother's neck.
Meng Yuci didn't say anything.
He tilted his head, glanced at the sword marks on the tree trunk, turned to look at Ji Chu, and said calmly:
"You win."
"I'm sorry, I..."
Ji Chu lowered his head, not daring to look at his senior brother's face, feeling very annoyed.
I originally thought that if I practiced sword alone, maybe I could forget all these troubles.
How come I started sparring with my senior brother without realizing it, and even hurt him?
Besides...how could she possibly hurt her senior brother?
Logically speaking, with my senior brother's level of cultivation, there is no way he would be defeated even without a sword.
Now, not only was he injured by her, but a strand of his hair was also cut off. This was all because when she attacked with the sword, his senior brother put away the sword and at the same time withdrew all the spiritual power that protected his body, and had no intention of fighting back.
——Just waiting for her to attack.
Why?
What if she didn't stop in time and really wanted to take his life?
…
Ji Chu was in a state of confusion and subconsciously bit his lower lip, feeling a little pain.
One hand gently held her chin, and the fine calluses on the fingertips pressed against the inside of her jaw. The touch was not so smooth, but it brought a sense of inexplicable comfort.
Ji Chu raised his head following the force and met his senior brother's eyes.
There was no anger in the senior brother's eyes. Instead, he looked at her calmly and focusedly.
"release."
The two words "light" were like a clear spring hitting jade, instantly clearing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
Only then did Ji Chu realize that he had been biting harder and harder, and a sharp pain was already coming from his lips.
She loosened her teeth as she was told, and a red patch gradually appeared on her lips from deep inside to outside, mixed with tiny traces of blood.
It actually bit through...
Meng Yuci's eyes fell on the wound on her lip and he frowned slightly.
He wanted to wipe away the blood with his fingertips, but stopped just when he was about to touch it, and finally only touched the edge of Ji Chu's lips.
He watched the wound swell up little by little. The tiny teeth marks seemed to bite his heart, making him feel a little anxious.
But he just held her face and asked:
"Ji Chu, are you angry with me?"
Ji Chu suddenly became nervous:
"……No."
"No?"
The senior brother didn't comment, but leaned down slightly, moved closer, and looked at her face carefully.
The exquisite face gradually magnified in front of Ji Chu, and she could even see her own shadow reflected in her senior brother's pupils.
She subconsciously wanted to step back and avoid him, but her senior brother applied a little force with his fingers, and she could only stiffen her neck and watch him get closer and closer, with his nose almost touching hers.
The light breath fell on her chin, like a layer of light snow.
Ji Chu held his breath and wanted to bite himself again.
Meng Yuci was quick-witted and quick-handed. He lightly blocked it with his thumb, and her teeth brushed past his fingertips.
"Don't bite."
He kept his fingertips on her lips and didn't dare to let go until she froze and retracted her teeth in confusion. Then he said helplessly:
"It's all bleeding."
After hearing this, Ji Chu suddenly realized that his lips were numb and cold, and a little painful.
She subconsciously wanted to lick the wound, but the tip of her tongue touched something slightly cold.
“!”
Meng Yuci was startled and quickly let go of the hand that was holding her face. He placed it at his side a little stiffly, but there was still a hint of warmth and moisture on his fingertips.
His Adam's apple moved up and down, and he turned his head slightly. For a moment, he didn't dare to continue looking at Ji Chu's face.
Ji Chu didn't understand what was going on, so he ran his tongue lightly across his lips and indeed tasted a hint of blood.
Blood……
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on her brother's neck.
The wound was not deep, but it was particularly obvious because it was long and thin.
As the senior brother tilted his head and his Adam's apple moved up and down, a red mark appeared at the edge.
Ji Chu felt a little uncomfortable:
"Brother, I'm sorry. I'm really not angry with you. I..."
She sighed, "I'm just a little mad at myself."
Meng Yuci turned around after hearing this.
He had regained his composure, as if the momentary panic just now was just an illusion.
Seeing that Ji Chu looked so worried at such a young age, as if he had encountered a huge trouble, the softest part of his heart couldn't help but be gripped.
So he reached out his hand, gently touched her head, and whispered:
"Why would Ji Chu, such a good person, be angry with himself?"
