Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Thank you, Elder Shen, for teaching my junior sister...
Ji Chu thought about her first meeting with her senior brother in this life.
Perhaps she followed Shen Ke to pay her respects to the headmaster, and took the opportunity to greet her senior brother standing beside her.
At the very least, she would mingle among other disciples and occasionally hear news about her senior brother, but apart from that, they had no other interactions.
But it shouldn't be now.
She had accumulated two lifetimes of resentment and unwillingness. She knelt in the center of the Law Enforcement Hall, admitting her guilt of colluding with the demons and asking the hall master to expel her from the sect.
Just like the last time they met in her previous life, she ignored her senior brother's attempts to stop her and even hurt him, insisting on leaving the sect and going down the mountain.
The scene is wrong, and the image is wrong.
She had left in such a hurry that she was still wearing clothes Yao Chan had splashed with a basin of water on. She was even covered in dust from the collapsing wall, perhaps even on her face...
Ji Chu's mind was in a mess. He had no idea what he was doing, what he wanted to do, or what he should do at the moment. He only knew that he absolutely did not want to look up and look at his senior brother.
So she decisively lowered her head and pretended to be deaf and dumb, and could not open her mouth to answer "yes" or "no" no matter what.
Eerily quiet.
The senior brother's gaze seemed to be real, moving from her head which she refused to raise, to her hands holding the disciple badge, and finally falling on the small wooden token. Ji Chu's heart beat faster, and the arms raised in the air trembled slightly. He couldn't help but want to retract his hands.
Hall Master Yan and Shen Ke did not speak. Xu Ying and the others were also overwhelmed by Meng Yuci's natural demeanor and sword energy. They were unsure of his identity. Seeing the strange expressions on the elders' faces, no one dared to interrupt.
For a moment, only Ji Chu was left kneeling beside Meng Yuci's legs, feeling anxious under his silent gaze.
Meng Yuci was dressed in a plain white dress, with his black hair tied up with a jade crown, revealing his delicate and handsome facial features that were almost unreal.
His face was cold and pale, his nose was high, and his lips were thin and red but not gaudy, as if they were carefully carved by the Creator.
His eyes were like dots of black jade, calm and indifferent when he stared at people, yet he had a natural aura that made people fear.
Moreover, he has a slender figure, upright appearance, and calm temperament. Standing in front of a group of respected elders, he does not appear weak at all. Instead, his indifference and aloofness conceal a murderous aura that makes him look not to be messed with.
At this moment, this extremely difficult person remained silent, looking down at Ji Chu, as if he didn't see the other people present.
His delicate stance invisibly enveloped Ji Chu under his figure, and the cold sword intent emanating from him was like an impenetrable wall. For a moment, no one present could pass him and have direct contact with Ji Chu.
An obvious gesture of protection and possession.
After a long time, Chen Ke interrupted:
"Meng Yuci, why are you here?"
When Xu Ying and the others heard the name, their eyes immediately widened. Only Chen Wu was still a little confused. He didn't know who this "Meng Yuci" was who could make Master Yan and Elder Shen fall silent.
After hearing Chen Ke's words, Meng Yuci turned his eyes away from Ji Chu:
"Meet Uncle Shen."
His tone was very cold, and no emotion could be heard:
"As soon as I came out of seclusion, I heard that my junior sister had committed a serious mistake and was about to be expelled from the sect."
But no one would think that he was just making a casual greeting.
Chen Wu started to get anxious when he heard this.
Today's incident was caused in order to save him. If Ji Chu really gets to the point of being "expelled from the sect", how can he have the face to be a coward?
I originally thought that things would take a turn for the better with Meng Yuci's appearance, but from his tone, it seemed that he would not speak for Ji Chu.
He then stood up suddenly, stiffened his neck, and shouted at an unprecedented volume:
"Ji Chu was wrongly accused! How could the sect punish her just because of Senior Brother Kong's words? This is unfair!"
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu both gasped and wished they could cover Chen Wu's mouth and throw him out of the Law Hall.
Damn it, why didn’t I realize before that Chen Wu, this dull guy, was so courageous. For Ji Chu, he even dared to be so presumptuous in front of Senior Brother Meng.
But this fool, can't he see that Senior Brother Meng is here to support Ji Chu?
Although she was shocked, Xu Ying secretly gave Chen Wu a thumbs-up and mouthed:
"Good boy! You're a real man!"
Jiang Chengxu reached out and pulled Chen Wu, who was stiff-necked, down. He didn't care about the elders being present and didn't want to act rashly. He quietly reminded Chen Wu:
"This is from Senior Brother Ji Chu, kissed by me!"
Chen Wu: “?”
He was unable to react: "Isn't Ji Chu registered under the name of the headmaster?"
Jiang Chengxu was about to collapse:
"This is the disciple of the Sect Master, the first disciple of the Fu Yu Xian Sect, and Ji Chu's elder brother—Senior Brother Meng!"
Chen Wu: “!!!”
He finally understood why the others looked so strange.
The person in front of him was none other than Meng Yuci, the man that made the world of cultivation shudder. Senior Brother Meng was the number one swordsman in the world and the most terrifying existence in the Fu Yu Immortal Sect except for the Sect Leader.
Although he has been in seclusion for a long time, rumors are still circulating in the world of cultivation.
I heard that his cultivation has reached the peak of the realm of transformation and he is only one step away from the Golden Immortal. His sword moves are extremely fast and cold. He can slay monsters with the sword as if it were chopping melons and vegetables, and it also has a freezing effect. The corpses don't even have time to bleed before they are frozen into ice cubes by his sword intent.
What's even more terrifying is that he is the most aloof and cold-blooded person among sword practitioners. His expressionless face is enough to frighten people, and there is no warning when he attacks. Usually, the demons he sees are already dead.
Such a being is reliable enough when it comes to slaying demons and eliminating evil. But once the person who provokes him becomes himself...
Chen Wu suddenly knelt on the ground and returned to his quail-like posture, hoping that Senior Brother Meng would forgive his ignorance and treat him as a piece of shit.
But it was too late, Meng Yuci's cold gaze had already fallen on him.
"Who are you?"
With just two words, Chen Wu had already imagined in his mind how Senior Brother Meng would chop him to death with a sword and then freeze him into an ice sculpture.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Inexplicably, he had the same expectations as Ji Chu, who was kneeling beside Meng Yuci.
Oh my god, could we suddenly become deaf and dumb?
Master Yan could feel Chen Wu's despair and fear from a distance.
He then said to Chen Wu:
"Why are you so anxious? Making a scene is unbecoming. Who said that Ji Chu should be expelled from the sect?"
Meng Yuci glanced at him.
Hall Master Yan said to Shen Ke:
"Elder Shen, this matter only has Kong Huiduan's testimony, so we can't jump to conclusions. Let's put Ji Chu's punishment aside for now."
The smile on Chen Ke's face froze, and he asked unhappily:
"What does Hall Master Yan mean?"
Hall Master Yan thought to himself, "Meng Yuci is standing here in person. He represents the opinions of the main peak and the headmaster. Do you still want to step in and deal with the headmaster's disciples?"
But he naturally couldn't say this directly, so he could only say it in a tactful way:
"Elder Shen has also seen it. What Kong Huiduan said is all speculation. There is no evidence. Moreover, Ji Chu is from the main peak. It is better to let them deal with it themselves."
Chen Ke understood what he meant. What did he mean by "Ji Chu is from the main peak"? It was clearly a reminder to him that as Ji Chu's uncle, he only had the responsibility to teach and had no power to dispose of him, implying that he was "overreaching"!
He was immediately furious, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of the younger generation, so he could only suppress his anger and say:
"Although Ji Chu is registered under the Sect Master's name, I have been teaching him personally since he joined the sect. If he made mistakes, and I, as his teacher, turned a blind eye, wouldn't that be a betrayal of the Sect Master's trust?"
While they were arguing, Ji Chu quietly put down the hand holding the wooden sign of "disciple", occupied the best viewing position, and eavesdropped on their conversation.
It was a pity that her senior brother was standing in front of her and couldn't turn around to see Chen Ke's deflated expression when he was implied by Master Yan.
Hearing Chen Ke's high-sounding words, Ji Chu, relying on the fact that he lowered his head so that no one could see, secretly rolled his eyes in disdain.
Her head shook slightly with this movement.
Meng Yuci's gaze fell back on her again.
Ji Chu knelt straight at this heavy look, thinking, "I shouldn't be discovered if I keep my head down."
Meng Yuci looked away and looked at Chen Ke:
"Thank you, Elder Shen, for your reminder. Now that I have come out of seclusion, I will take on the responsibility of teaching the disciples, especially those in the main peak."
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu waved their hands in unison, probably meaning "Senior Brother Meng, just teach the junior sisters from your own main peak. We from other peaks will handle it ourselves."
Ji Chu was also startled by Meng Yuci's words. He quickly raised his head and took a peek, only to meet his senior brother's gaze who was looking at him quietly.
“!”
She subconsciously took a deep breath and lowered her head hurriedly, but because she moved too quickly, she couldn't react in time and knelt on the ground, coughing.
Xu Ying gave her a "so pitiful" look.
Ji Chu's cough broke the tense atmosphere between his senior brother and Shen Ke.
Chen Ke didn't want to get entangled with Meng Yuci anymore, so he stepped forward and walked to Ji Chu's side, saying gently:
"In that case, get up and follow me back."
Ji Chu felt dizzy from coughing. Just as he stood up, a hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.
The senior brother held her shoulders with his five fingers. His slender knuckles didn't exert any force, but they easily pressed her so that she couldn't turn around and could only stand facing the senior brother.
Her senior brother was very tall, and she had been kneeling too close to him just now. Now that she stood up, the tip of her nose almost touched his clothes, and she could even smell a familiar cool fragrance.
Ji Chu didn't dare to breathe. Controlled by the hand on his shoulder, he couldn't even move back. He could only shrink back as much as possible, hoping not to bump into his senior brother.
Meng Yuci's voice came from above her head:
"Thank you, Elder Shen, for teaching my junior sister. However, now that I have come out of seclusion, she doesn't have to stay in Guangxuan Peak for long."
I don’t want to choose either Chen Ke or my senior brother!
Ji Chu shouted in his heart.
Chen Ke stared at the hand on Ji Chu's shoulder, and suddenly felt a strong sense of "his property being contaminated by someone else".
Even so, he didn't feel that Meng Yuci was competing with him for the person.
After all, Meng Yuci was a cold-hearted person, showing no interest in worldly matters. As his master, the Sect Master had spent years with him and never witnessed him express any emotion.
Now that he has suddenly appeared and intervened in Ji Chu's affairs, I'm afraid he is still following the orders of the leader.
Why did the Sect Leader suddenly think of Ji Chu? Could it be that Xue Wan Ning's soul had been discovered?
Shen Ke pondered over it and didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.
"Well, since the master wants to recall his disciples, I naturally have no reason to stop him."
He regained his gentle smile and looked at Ji Chu like a considerate elder:
"The Sect Master's place has many rules and regulations, it's not as free as Guangxuan Peak. You must not get into trouble."
Ji Chu was still being held down by her senior brother, unable to turn around. She heard her senior brother answer for her in a cold tone:
"Don't worry, Elder Shen."
Shen Ke glanced at Kong Huiduan, who then hurriedly followed him away.
Meng Yuci nodded to Hall Master Yan and said "thank you", then exerted force with his hands, turned Ji Chu's shoulders around, and pushed her out of the Law Hall.
Chen Wu wanted to follow him, but after receiving a look from him, he immediately dared not move. He could only watch Ji Chu being half-pushed and half-carried out of the Zhilu Hall by Meng Yuci.
He still worries:
"Is Senior Sister Ji okay?"
Hall Master Yan snorted coldly:
"What could possibly happen to her? What are you three still doing kneeling here for? Don't you think the punishment is not enough?"
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu hurriedly said goodbye to Master Yan, then pulled Chen Wu up from the left and right and ran out as if escaping.
Here, Ji Chu followed his senior brother out of the Zhilu Hall.
She was afraid that he would take her to the headmaster for further interrogation. Although she knew she could not defeat him, she took the opportunity to step to the side and turn when he summoned his sword, hoping to take the opportunity to avoid his hand and escape.
But the senior brother remained expressionless, not even turning to look at her. As if he had anticipated this, he moved the hand on her shoulder to the back of her neck, grabbed her collar and lifted her onto the sword.
As soon as she saw the Shaowei Sword, she immediately remembered the pain of being pierced through the heart by it in her previous life, and subconsciously pressed her chest.
She wanted to run, but the sword shook slightly and her senior brother was standing behind her.
Ji Chu stepped on the sword, feeling the chill rising from his feet. Behind him stood the silent and tall figure of his senior brother. The future was uncertain and he felt extremely desperate.
The sword energy swept across, and Zhilutang was left behind.
The sword energy of her senior brother separated her from the whistling cold wind. She didn't feel any wind, but she didn't dare to relax at all.
However, Ji Chu was able to keep his composure. Even so, he continued to pretend to be dumb, standing in front of his senior brother and refusing to say a word.
It was not until her feet touched the ground and Ji Chu looked up to find that it was her own courtyard that she showed a look of surprise and subconsciously turned her head to look at her senior brother.

Here is the perspective of Master Yan:
After demolishing the house outside, a few dirty Biggs disciples started quarreling in his house. One of them said she wanted to go out and wander around.
Oh, when we first started, they were such a cute and well-behaved group of little disciples. How could they become so [cracked]
