Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Just because I’m your senior brother…
Ji Chu ran fast enough, but the sword energy following behind her was faster than her.
As she was pressed against the wall, she thought silently in her heart.
If God gave her another chance, she would definitely prepare the teleportation talisman in advance, and carry with her a few magical weapons that could block the way, and throw them wherever she went.
The surrounding scene changed when the senior brother met her. It was no longer an empty street, and Zhongli Bai with a dazed look on his face was gone. Instead, there was an extremely clean and tidy room.
The hand holding Ji Chu's shoulder was very cold. He didn't use any force, as if he was afraid of hurting her, but it was more firm than ever and difficult to break free.
A bone-chilling chill emanated from the other person, clearly conveying his anger. Ji Chu felt as if all the bones and blood in his body were instantly frozen.
At first she tried to struggle, but soon found that her senior brother was just a little forceful, and the spiritual power entering her body was still soothing and peaceful.
Her meridians have not been cleared since they were injured by "Canghua Longhe" last time.
Although the power of the divine bone has been absorbed and it seems to be fine on the surface, the divine bone is an evil object after all, and the power attached to it is not ordinary spiritual power. How to refine it is still a problem.
Now with the help of his senior brother's spiritual power, Ji Chu not only did not feel uncomfortable, but even felt a little comfortable.
She then calmed down and waited obediently for her senior brother to help her heal her wounds.
The room was quiet. The expected tense atmosphere did not exist at all. Only icy spiritual energy flowed throughout the space.
After a long while, Meng Yuci's clear voice rang out:
"Why are you running?"
Ji Chu moved his mouth but didn't say anything.
Meng Yuci didn't ask any more questions and continued to help her clear her meridians.
Ji Chu also knew that his senior brother was really angry this time.
Who made her run away without saying a word?
But the moment the incident happened, she felt that she could not face her senior brother, nor could she face the remaining mess. Only running away could make her feel relieved.
Besides, she has always been worried that if she waits for her senior brother to come back in the sect, she is not sure whether he can prove her innocence. What if she is misunderstood and imprisoned again, wouldn't she end up in the same dilemma as in her previous life?
She has already calmly accepted her identity as a godslayer, and is even eager to try. Holding the godslayer sword Xunzhen in her hand, she wants to take the initiative to clash with the Last God.
Of course, she knew better than anyone that her decision was really risky and her senior brother would most likely not agree.
So she could only leave.
Now that the senior brother is healing her wounds without saying a word, it may not be forgiveness, but it may be the calm before the storm.
Through the mask, she secretly looked around and her eyes lingered on the window for a moment.
If she could do this and that again, she might have a chance to use the teleportation talisman to teleport herself away the moment she broke through the window...
This little action naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the senior brother.
Meng Yuci was almost laughing because of her.
At this point, she is still thinking of running away?
He suppressed his anger and said nothing.
His face was cold, his spiritual power was icy, and his expression was serious as if he was interrogating a prisoner, but his movements when checking Ji Chu's meridians were very meticulous and careful.
Spiritual energy flowed into her body through her wrist, and she felt a noticeable stagnation at her right shoulder.
He paused, feeling his heart tighten in a knot.
Such a serious injury almost crippled her entire right arm, almost eliminating the possibility of her holding a sword with her right hand.
Chen Ke and Xue Wanning died too easily...
Meng Yuci couldn't help but glance at Ji Chu, and an unspeakable pain arose in his heart:
How could she just turn around and leave without saying a word while being so badly injured?
How could she?
From the moment he returned to Fuyu Xianzong, he had been thinking:
What on earth should he do to make her have even a little trust in him? At least he should heal his wounds before talking about other things.
Doesn’t she know that the Last God wants to kill her?
Doesn't she know how dangerous her choice is?
The master did not stop him because to him, the affairs of the Last God were far more important than a disciple who acted on his own.
But what about him?
When Ji Chu decided to leave, did he think of him even for a moment?
Is she going to take risks with all these injuries and blocked meridians?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
Even if Ji Chu could think of him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be something that would make her feel at ease...
Otherwise, why would she throw away the sound transmission jade and leave in such a hurry?
Even when he kept trying to contact her using the communication talisman, she still refused to respond.
If he didn't come looking for her, was she going to keep hiding from him like this until there was no hope, until the moment he tried his best and still couldn't save her?
Just thinking of this possibility, he felt as if his heart was being twisted, and even breathing was difficult.
How could she be so heartless and cruel to him?
He taught her cultivation with all his heart and searched for a sword for her, was it just to watch her take risks and die?
Did she ever consider herself as a senior brother?
If something really happened to her, what would he do?
The more Meng Yuci thought about it, the angrier he became. Without paying attention, his fingertips trembled and a large amount of spiritual power suddenly penetrated into Ji Chu's body.
Ji Chu, who was originally immersed in the thought of "how comfortable it is to have someone help him comb his meridians", was suddenly caught off guard by the cold air and cried out "Ah".
She subconsciously turned around, pushed Meng Yuci away, and shrank into the corner in panic.
The wolf-head mask obscured her facial expression, revealing only a pair of dark eyes. Her voice was muffled, sounding muffled and aggrieved.
“Senior Brother!”
She obviously wanted to blame him when she opened her mouth, but then she thought that she was still in a state of "fleeing from the crime" and it was neither right nor justifiable, so she decided not to say anything.
Meng Yuci was a little stunned by the mistake at this moment.
He glanced at his fingertips, where cold and frigid spiritual energy still lingered.
I think Ji Chu must have been in great pain because of his mistake just now, otherwise there wouldn't be tears in his eyes.
The resentment and anger in his heart instantly cooled down, and he reached out to hold her wrist:
"Does it hurt? Let me see..."
How could Ji Chu dare to believe him? He ran out for a long distance, opened the window and was about to jump out.
Meng Yuci: "..."
He hurriedly reached out and closed the window. The moment Ji Chu turned around, he was blocked in the narrow space and was forced to look up at him.
Meng Yuci held her arm and pinched it up and down to make sure her muscles and bones were not injured. Still a little worried, he pressed and rubbed the area gently.
"Does it still hurt?"
He asked.
Ji Chu glared at him through the mask, said nothing, and pulled his arm back forcefully.
That is, she dared to get angry first in front of her senior brother even though she knew that he was the one who ran away without saying a word.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Are you going to hunt down a traitor like me for the sake of the Fu Yu Xian Sect?"
Seeing how confident she was, Meng Yuci knew that there should be no problem.
But before he could question her, she questioned him instead, and he felt helpless:
"I've found out that everything was done by Shen Ke and Xue Wan Ning. It has nothing to do with you."
He emphasized:
"You didn't trust me and ran away on your own initiative."
"snort."
Ji Chu raised his head and looked aside, deliberately not looking at him:
"I've been beaten like that! If I don't run, am I going to wait for others to come and stab me a few more times?"
The wolf-head mask on her face also turned to the side as she turned her head. The protruding wolf mouth brushed against the front of his shirt and pointed high up in the sky. Meng Yuci could almost imagine the expression under her mask.
He wanted to laugh, but also felt a little distressed, but more than that, he was delighted to see her standing in front of him safe and sound.
Ji Chu deliberately took the initiative to attack so that her senior brother would not be able to find a way to teach her a lesson.
Now it seems to be quite effective. The senior brother who pushed her against the wall without hesitation when they just met no longer has that cold and fierce aura. He even took half a step back and leaned over slightly to give her room to move.
Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly turned around to open the window again.
With a "click", a hand reached out from behind, brushed her ear and pressed against the window.
The window was slammed shut again.
Meng Yuci pointed his finger and put up a ban on the door as well.
"Still running?"
His tone became colder, and he grabbed Ji Chu's wrist with one hand, pressing her between him and the window, staring down at her condescendingly:
"Ji Chu, do you really not take me seriously? Do you not even take your own life seriously?"
“…”
Ji Chu was furious after his futile escape, and was extremely nervous about the position where he had no breathing space. Suddenly, he poked his senior brother's chest with his wolf head:
"Why do you care about me?! You said it yourself, those things have nothing to do with me!"
Meng Yuci did not avoid or give way. He leaned down and looked into her eyes through the mask.
If the wolf's mouth on the wolf mask wasn't too long and too high, he would almost be touching her face directly.
Seeing the anger in her eyes, he couldn't help but lower his voice, staring into her eyes and saying word by word:
"Just because I'm your senior brother."
A few words flowed through Ji Chu's ears like a cold spring.
She stared, feeling the anger she had completely suppressed surging again:
"So what if you're my senior brother?! And Chen Ke is still my uncle! Didn't he still kill me?! And the Sect Leader, he wants to use the divine bone as bait, but who will guarantee the safety of Xu Ying and the others?! Just because we happened to go to Xuanhe Peak, does that mean we have to live or die?"
"I just don't believe what's wrong with you?! I don't trust anyone!"
Meng Yuci fell silent and looked at her quietly.
He raised his hand, wanting to touch her forehead, but only felt the hard wolf head mask.
His fingertips paused, slid down the side of her face, touched the edge of the mask, and then gently lifted it up.
Ji Chu's vision expanded as the mask was removed.
She clearly saw her senior brother's cold and delicate face, and a pair of dark eyes flashed with tiny lights.
She had the illusion that her senior brother seemed sad.
"sorry."
The next moment, the voice of the senior brother sounded.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I failed to protect you. I failed to make you feel safe."
He gently raised his hand and held her face. His fingertips first moved closer tentatively, and when he found that she did not resist, he slowly dropped his finger on her skin, as light as a piece of snow that suddenly fell.
Ji Chu started to regret it the moment he shouted these words without caring about the consequences.
She clearly thought that she no longer cared about anything and could completely forget the unfortunate things in her previous life, but when she saw her senior brother, her emotions were like a ball that was about to explode, and would burst out at the slightest touch.
A random word from her senior brother could make her completely forget the "calm and polite" attitude she had wanted to maintain from the beginning, and turn her into a child with a bad temper.
She was very confused and very unhappy.
But if her senior brother was really sad about this, she would feel particularly uncomfortable.
She lowered her eyes, looked at the clothes on her brother's chest, bit her lip, and squeezed out a few words:
"I didn't mean to blame you, brother... I'm sorry..."
One hand held her head and pressed it against him.
She leaned against her senior brother with this force. The clothes against her face were cold, but it did not make her feel uncomfortable. She even wanted to rub it with her eyes closed.
No, no!
Just talk, why are you hugging each other suddenly?
Ji Chu reacted and was about to push him away when he heard his senior brother say:
"Don't apologize."
The hands that were supporting her cheeks moved behind her and gently stroked her hair.
"Ji Chu, I'm just scared. I'm scared that I made a mistake and caused you so much pain, and I'm even more scared that you..."
He paused:
"Ji Chu, you can't be in trouble. You must live well."
The senior brother's voice was slightly trembling, and even sounded fragile.
Ji Chu paused in pushing him away, feeling a little doubtful.
She couldn't help but want to stand up, but the hand behind her didn't give her the chance.
It seemed to be just lightly placed on her, but once she wanted to leave, she would find that she couldn't move at all.
So she could only continue to lean on her senior brother.
After thinking about it, she still felt that something was wrong. She even felt an inexplicable irritation, which made her feel caught in a dilemma and she didn't know what to do.
Ji Chu tried to get his head out of the hug, rubbed his clothes, rested his chin on his chest, and looked up at his senior brother:
"Brother, besides this, don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Meng Yuci was stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hands loosened a little.
The next moment, Ji Chu decisively pushed him away and walked aside:
"for example……"
She turned back to look at him, her tone subtle:
"For example, I did all this just to get the divine bone."
"Have you really never doubted me?"

Author's Note: Ji Chu (holding the scripts from both lives) (comparing them repeatedly): Something's wrong? How come Senior Brother has changed so much?
