Chapter 57 Chapter 57 I think of him sometimes
The cold sweat on Ji Chu's back was blown away by the wind, making him feel cool.
She shuddered subconsciously.
Meng Yuci glanced at her, pulled a blanket from the side, raised his arm and spread it out to cover her.
Ji Chu suppressed his uneasiness and looked up at him:
"...It's okay, Senior Brother. I'm not cold."
The senior brother said nothing, but tightened the blanket around her:
"Why are you sleeping in the wind?"
Ji Chu: “…”
While she was complaining in her heart about how a monk could catch a cold from the wind and how her senior brother really underestimated her, she subconsciously rubbed her face on the fluffy blanket.
Like a kitten.
Meng Yuci's eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his eyes, moving his gaze away from Ji Chu's red sleepy face.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
He comforted her unskillfully:
"It's all fake, don't be afraid."
Ji Chu thought about what Xiao Bai said, took a deep breath, nodded, and said seriously:
"I'm not afraid, Brother. I want to eat crystal lotus rolls."
Meng Yuci chuckled:
"good."
The spring roll wrapper is thin and transparent, making the shrimp, egg shreds and carrots inside look very tempting.
Ji Chu ate five in a row, and only then did he feel relieved about the emptiness in his heart.
There's a secret behind the rebirth, Xiaobai reappears, and things get even more complicated...
Actually it’s not that scary!
She is no longer the "stand-in" with mediocre cultivation, inferiority and twisted complex in her previous life.
She is a cultivator of the realm of perfection, an outstanding swordsman personally taught by her senior brother who is the best in the way of swordsmanship. She is also a reborn person with the opening of the third eye. What does she have to be afraid of!
The Fushi Festival... Venerable Asanga... Save the Cultivation World...
What about the yin and yang transformation...
The more Ji Chu thought about it, the more he felt restless. He stuffed a lotus roll into his mouth and ran out without even swallowing it.
Meng Yuci was quick to grab her.
"Swallow it before running, or you might choke."
He wiped her hands with a clean handkerchief, then watched her swallow the food in her mouth, and then asked:
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Ji Chu patted his chest and shook his head. Sure enough, he was still a little choked.
Meng Yuci brought her another glass of water.
Ji Chu gulped it down.
He was so anxious to drink water that he spilled it all.
Meng Yuci sighed helplessly, raised his hand to wipe the water droplets on her chin, and then considerately combed the hair hanging on both sides of her ears from top to bottom and put it in the right position.
Ji Chu was already getting anxious:
"Are you ready, brother?"
Meng Yuci withdrew his hand, looked at her carefully, and confirmed that there was no problem, then said:
"Okay."
Logically speaking, the master had already taken the spiritual crane back, so there was no need for him to find an excuse to keep Ji Chu.
To ensure her safety, all we have to do is get rid of Venerable Asanga.
But he still couldn't help but say:
"Tonight...let's have crayfish."
"Crayfish! I want it super spicy!"
Ji Chu was obviously looking forward to it. He turned around and flew out of his yard like a happy bird, shouting:
"I'll be back soon!"
return.
The word "light" made Meng Yuci's heart skip a beat.
He subconsciously looked at the sky.
Although it was only the dawn, he was already looking forward to the evening.

Ji Chu went straight to the library.
Zhongli Bai seemed sincere, but Ji Chu didn't know him well. They had only had a brief exchange and cooperation in their previous life. Besides, people's hearts are hidden, so the reborn cultivator should not be trusted easily.
And what about the so-called "yin and yang transformation", is it a sorcery or an orthodox magic?
Saving the world of cultivation... depends on her?
Ji Chu wanted to laugh when he heard it.
She searched through the rows of bookshelves, hoping to find records about the "Yin and Yang Transformation".
In fact, when she just woke up, she wanted to go and ask her senior brother.
But as soon as she met her senior brother's eyes, she shut up.
My senior brother is not easy to fool. Everything has not been clarified yet, and it is even more unclear whether the transformation of yin and yang is good or evil.
What if... she is treated as a monster again?
Ji Chu was thinking, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the book in his hand again.
He didn't find the Yin-Yang Turn, but he did find the book of the Unruly Taoist.
Her eyes fell on the big words "Special Person" above.
Zhongli Bai claims to be the disciple of the unruly Taoist priest. Is this book really written specifically for her?
"Venerable Asanga is about to take action"...
Who is Venerable Asanga?
Ji Chu hit his head and barely managed to type out some information.
It was probably shortly after the Questioning Immortals Conference that she was again punished by Chen Ke to be put in solitary confinement.
I no longer remember the reason for the punishment, but I do remember that during that time, there were constant rumors in the sect, saying that the entire Wuji Sect had rebelled against the devil and that it was instructed by the gods...
The reason she still remembered this incident was because it was during that time that she went down the mountain in anger, got infected with the love poison, and was saved by her senior brother...
Ji Chu hit his head hard.
Stop, stop, don't think about these things, think about Asanga Venerable, where have you heard of Asanga Venerable...
Ji Chu was almost driven crazy by his past life, which he knew nothing about.
If she had known that she would be reborn and have the title of "special person", she should have ignored Chen Ke and focused on finding out the news of the cultivation world!
Until she returned to her senior brother's yard, she was still trying to remember something.
From Meng Yuci's perspective, Ji Chu had been biting the edge of the cup in a daze since he came back. He didn't drink water, but just chatted with his upper and lower teeth, with a look of bitterness and resentment on his face.
He peeled a shrimp with swift movements, moved the cup away from Ji Chu's teeth with one hand, and put the peeled shrimp to her mouth.
"Open your mouth."
Ji Chu opened his mouth without thinking, took the shrimp in front of his mouth and started chewing.
There was a bit too much chili, and she wanted to drink water after eating the shrimp. However, before she could do anything, the cup appeared at her lips, full of water, and she could drink it without lowering her head.
She finished drinking the water, and soon a new shrimp appeared at her mouth.
The senior brother cooked, the senior brother peeled the shrimps, the senior brother fed, the senior brother poured water, and Ji Chu was only responsible for opening his mouth and chewing.
It was not until she came to her senses and hurriedly said that she could peel the shrimp herself that she discovered that the shrimp shells in front of her senior brother had piled up into a small mountain, and there were only a few shrimps left on the plate.
Ji Chu: Awkward.
She didn't notice it when she was eating, but now she saw that her senior brother had almost peeled all the shrimps for her.
She quickly placed the last few shrimps in front of her:
"Brother, you've been peeling it for a long time. I'll do the rest myself!"
Meng Yuci withdrew his hand. There was no expression on his face, but a hint of regret arose in his heart.
He watched Ji Chu and Xia Ke fighting and couldn't help but remind him:
"Be careful not to hurt your hands."
Ji Chu cried out:
"Don't worry, brother, I'm very professional!"
I pinched off the head and tail, pulled out the shrimp meat, stuffed it into my mouth, and my lips became red and swollen from the spiciness.
Ji Chu half opened his mouth and fanned his mouth with his hand, thinking it was better than nothing. Then he picked up the cup and drank half of the water before his senior brother.
Meng Yuci's hand holding the cup fell empty, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on her lips as she drank water.
His eyes paused, and he didn't have time to retract his outstretched hand, his knuckles stopped in mid-air.
Ji Chu muttered to himself, "It's spicy but delicious." Seeing his movements, he nodded in understanding, quickly pulled out a whole shrimp, and thrust it into his mouth.
"Brother, do you want to eat too?"
The shrimp was very elastic, and she used it like a hidden weapon, making Meng Yuci's lips slightly concave.
The beautifully shaped thin lips were suddenly dyed a bright red by the red and spicy shrimp, like extremely bright rose petals, making the person in front of him look even more jade-white and his eyes dark.
Ji Chu blinked and stretched his arm forward again:
"Brother, try it, it's delicious!"
Meng Yuci raised his hand and grabbed her wrist to stop her from poking the shrimp into her face. Then he lowered his head slightly, parted his thin lips, and revealed some snow-white teeth.
He closed his upper and lower lips very quickly and lightly, and then took the whole shrimp from her hand and put it into his mouth.
Ji Chu only felt a slight warmth caressing her fingers, and then something extremely soft but slightly cool rubbed against her fingertips, disappearing in an instant.
My hands are empty.
Meng Yuci swallowed the shrimp gracefully, his dark eyes looking at her face, and said seriously:
"tasty."
Ji Chu's heart skipped a beat.
The fleeting touch just now resurfaced in her mind, and she felt her fingertips getting hot, so she quickly pulled her wrist out of her senior brother's hand and rubbed her fingers behind her back.
Senior Brother's focused gaze was always on her face. Ji Chu felt a little nervous for some reason, so she lowered her head to avoid his gaze and said:
"It's all thanks to my senior brother's superb cooking skills... How about - let's give this last one to him as well..."
As she was about to peel another shrimp for him to eat, Meng Yuci stopped her in time:
"No need, just eat it."
As he said this, he turned sideways and stopped staring at her.
"Oh well."
As his senior brother's gaze shifted away, Ji Chu finally felt that the strange feeling disappeared.
She put all her messy thoughts behind her and stuffed the last shrimp into her mouth. The food soon soothed her inner pain:
Sure enough! Rebirth does have its benefits!
How could she have had the chance to eat such delicious food in her previous life!
Meng Yuci very naturally used a handkerchief to wipe her hands. His frankness made Ji Chu feel that he was overthinking.
She stared at her senior brother's smooth and angular jawline for a while, and suddenly a flash of lightning came into her mind.
She remembered!
It was after she was infected with the love poison, was rescued by her senior brother, and returned to the sect in disgrace that she accidentally heard Chen Ke talking to someone.
She didn't dare get too close, and only vaguely heard Shen Ke mention words like "Venerable Asanga" and "murdered".
Venerable Asanga was killed?
Didn't Zhongli Bai say he was going to "take action"? Could he have been killed in revenge?
Ji Chu felt his mind getting even more confused, and couldn't help but mutter aloud:
"…Who killed him?"
Meng Yuci paused and looked up at her.
Ji Chu suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head in an attempt to hide his mistake:
"It's okay, it's okay, Senior Brother, I'm just thinking about the storybook."
Meng Yuci retracted his gaze and continued to carefully wipe each of her fingers clean. Then he lowered her rolled-up sleeves and smoothed them out before speaking.
"What storybook?"
Ji Chu: “…”
Her expression was bitter: "It's just... grudges, love and hatred, love and hate, sour sauce and sour sauce... ah, it's not..."
The senior brother looked at her calmly, as if he could see into her heart.
Ji Chu shut up decisively.
Fortunately, the senior brother did not pursue the matter, and was even calm to the point of being indulgent:
"Well, I didn't expect you to like these."
Ji Chu scratched the hair on the back of his head awkwardly:
"Ah... yes, how can I like these..."
Meng Yuci helped her smooth out her messed up hair:
"Okay, stop catching."
His eyes swept across the feathers and floating flowers on the back of her neck.
Even though Kong Yu Fuhua was there, he would definitely be able to sense danger in time.
But when he thought about the fact that he had been away for many days and Ji Chu was such a restless person, he felt particularly worried.
Although the master promised not to take action, there is no guarantee that accidents will happen.
So he pulled Ji Chu's wrist, condensed spiritual power on his fingertips, and quickly drew a sword symbol on her wrist.
Ji Chu looked confused.
Meng Yuci withdrew his hand and said:
"I will be in seclusion for a few days. Be careful when I'm not with you. Never let go of the Xunzhen Sword. Don't trust anyone else, including those from the sect."
"Brother, are you going into seclusion?"
Ji Chu asked subconsciously:
"Why? Are you injured? Will you be in seclusion for a long time?"
Not to mention that she hadn't noticed it, but looking at it this way, her senior brother's face seemed a little too pale. Could he be really injured?
She subconsciously reached out to touch it.
Stopped by Meng Yuci.
Faced with the obvious panic and haste in Ji Chu's tone and expression, if Meng Yuci didn't know that she only regarded him as a senior brother, he would almost feel that she was reluctant to leave him.
How could it be possible...
The last time she went down the mountain, she left without saying a word and there was no news for several days. When she came back, she was in high spirits and told about her experience at the foot of the mountain. It was obvious that she had a lot of fun.
Now that she is away in seclusion, she is probably feeling even more comfortable without anyone to bother her.
How could I not bear to part with him?
Meng Yuci felt a sense of indescribable bitterness in his heart, but when he spoke, he was extremely calm and said:
"It's just ordinary training. If everything goes well, it won't take long."
He said with a stern face, and then said:
"Even if no one is watching, you must not slack off in your practice. Don't just play around."
"I'm glad you're not hurt."
Ji Chu nodded hurriedly:
"Okay, Senior Brother, I will practice well."
Meng Yuci looked at her for a moment, then took out a full storage bag from the side:
"It contains some commonly used medicinal pills and talismans, as well as your favorite snacks and panpan fruit. Remember to bring them with you on your next mission."
It’s best to think of him occasionally while eating.
