Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Brother, please believe me too...
Meng Yuci was supposed to report the matter of the divine bone to his master as soon as he left the small world, but Ji Chu absorbed the power of the divine bone, and his spiritual power was difficult to suppress, which directly brought about a thunder disaster.
If it was just an ordinary thunder tribulation, it would be fine, but the divine bone is not an ordinary thing. As a member of the Ji Chu human race, he controlled the divine object and destroyed it. Heaven will surely punish him.
He can't leave.
So Meng Yuci once again ignored his master's call and decisively stayed to protect Ji Chu.
Because of this, Master became even more unhappy.
Although no one outside could know what happened in the small world, how could Immortal Huiyuan not have thought that with Meng Yuci's cultivation level, if he had not intentionally indulged himself, how could Ji Chu have touched the divine bone and absorbed it?
Seeing him coming with a murderous look all over his body after a thunder tribulation, we knew that he had blocked the most deadly thunder tribulation.
Immortal Huiyuan then said:
"I've never seen you take action when your disciples advanced in the past. Why are you so nervous now that it's Ji Chu's turn? It makes it seem like I, as your Master... am not paying enough attention."
Meng Yuci only said:
"Ji Chu is Master's disciple and my junior sister."
What he meant was that all his concerns and worries were due to his senior brother's identity and the master's instructions.
No other intention.
"You still know that she is my apprentice, your junior sister!"
The head immortal's expression suddenly became stern, and his majesty was fully revealed. He no longer had the amiable demeanor of an elder that Ji Chu had seen before.
"The divine bone is such a dangerous thing. Even you almost got yourself killed by it, yet you asked her to take the risk!"
"If she's truly different, then your actions will expose her and lead that person to attack her! If she's no different from everyone else..."
His tone was calm, and he spoke slowly, yet with a chilling tone:
"In the future, if Ji Chu is deceived by the divine bone and destroys his way and falls into evil, will you be able to do it?"
Meng Yuci's eyes suddenly showed hostility.
He lowered his eyes, suppressing the emotions in his eyes so that no one could see them, then he bowed with his hands in front of him and said calmly:
"Disciple is willing to guarantee it with his life."
What is the guarantee?
Can you guarantee that Ji Chu will not be possessed by a demon?
Or guarantee that you will never show mercy?
Meng Yuci said no more and turned to leave the hall.
Immortal Huiyuan looked at his back silently.
Although he was the master, he never knew what his disciple was thinking.
During the witch-shaman disaster, countless people were killed and injured, and the witch-shaman clan was wiped out. Only Meng Yuci emerged with a sword in hand, his body covered in blood.
Many people who have seen this said that this boy has a very murderous heart and is extremely cold-hearted. If he is not eliminated early, he may become a serious problem.
However, after so many years, Meng Yuci is still the same Meng Yuci.
It can intimidate the disciples and respect the teachers... Well, actually, I don’t respect the teachers that much.
Immortal Huiyuan withdrew his thoughts and waved to summon a magical crane.

"Senior Brother?"
Ji Chu opened her eyes wide, but still couldn't see anything. She subconsciously wanted to push away the person blocking her way, but she felt a hand full of cold clothes.
She was stimulated by the coolness and regained her consciousness. She subconsciously touched his collar upwards.
The fingertips trembled slightly, like a newborn little snake that was cautiously coming into contact with the world. It tentatively climbed up along his chest, lightly touching his neck, Adam's apple, and then his chin, bringing a slight itch.
Meng Yuci sensed her uneasiness, but did not stop her. Instead, he waited until she touched his cheek before raising his hand and pressing her palm against the side of his face.
"It's me."
He said.
The feeling of skin contact suddenly came, and Ji Chu's palm felt a little hot. Pressing it on his face felt like pressing against a hot stove.
After realizing it was him, she relaxed and called him again:
“Senior Brother…”
"Um."
Meng Yuci responded again.
Ji Chu looked at him with his eyes wide open, as if he was still sleepwalking. He held his face and asked him:
"Brother, are you coming to kill me?"
Meng Yuci frowned and looked into her eyes.
She leaned on his arm with her back slightly bent, her eyes not as bright as usual, a posture that showed both fear and the inability to help but rely on him.
She was so light and weightless, like a cloud. If he hadn't held her with his hands from behind, she would have been blown away by the wind at any time.
A subtle fear arose in his heart, and he subconsciously exerted force with his arms, pushing her half an inch towards him.
The muscles of his arm that was pressed against Ji Chu's back also tensed up. Ji Chu felt his bones being poked by something harder, so he moved forward a little, put one hand on his face, grabbed his clothes with the other, and breathed on the neck of the man in front of him.
Meng Yuci's Adam's apple moved up and down.
Ji Chu couldn't see his face and wasn't sure if he heard his question clearly, so he asked again:
"Brother, are you coming to kill me?"
Meng Yuci looked into her eyes:
"I will never kill you."
He paused, raised his hand, and gently stroked her eyes. His spiritual power gradually dispelled the evil spirit that covered her eyes. His movements were gentle, but the words he spoke were filled with terrifying murderous intent:
“…and no one can kill you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chu suddenly let go of the hand that was holding his clothes, then lowered his head and started crying.
Quiet, aggrieved, tears streaming down her face.
Meng Yuci was startled, thinking he had hurt her. He quickly relaxed his hand behind her and gently patted her back twice:
"What's wrong?"
Ji Chu wiped his tears while crying and whispered:
"Brother, I'm blind... and I've lost my sword... I can't defeat it..."
Her tears fell like water. She wiped them with her left hand, and they kept flowing to the right. Both hands were not enough.
The cloud that was floating and seemed like it would disappear from his sight at any moment suddenly fell into his palm and turned into a cat with wet fur, wiping its face with its paws in front of him in a wronged manner.
The inexplicable emptiness in Meng Yuci's heart subsided again.
He sighed, and without asking any more questions to provoke her, he gently brushed his fingertips under her eyes.
Ji Chu's tears flowed along his fingers, and a small pool of hot water accumulated between his fingers.
He looked at his hands, a little dazed, not knowing whether to take his hands back or continue wiping.
While he was stunned, Ji Chu had already pulled his sleeve without any hesitation and wiped his face twice, like a kitten washing its face.
Senior Brother's clothes were of really good quality. She had discovered them in the small world. They were cool, smooth, and absorbent, and they made him look taller and more handsome when he wore them...
Ji Chu muttered to himself.
She wasn't that sad at first, but for some reason, she felt particularly aggrieved when she saw her senior brother.
At this time, the fear after being frightened by the golden eyes had mostly disappeared, and the golden mist covering his eyes had also disappeared.
She blinked and took in the person standing before her.
The moonlight was like water, dyeing the senior brother's eyebrows and eyes into the clear snow. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, he seemed particularly gentle.
He remained patient and did not withdraw his hand, but let her crumple the cuffs into a mess.
Ji Chu grabbed his sleeve, attracted by his appearance, forgot what he was doing, and looked up and asked him:
"Brother, did Master scold you?"
Meng Yuci's gaze shifted from her hand clutching his sleeve to her face, and he raised his eyes slightly:
"Why do you say that?"
There were still tears on Ji Chu's face. His cheeks were round and plump, and the fine hairs reflected the water light under the moonlight, which easily reminded people of a juicy peach.
His fingertips rubbed her side unconsciously, and he remembered the feeling of pinching her face that day.
Ji Chu said, "Brother didn't come to congratulate me on my advancement. It must be because Master scolded me about the divine bone incident, and he took his anger out on me."
Meng Yuci laughed.
Ji Chu added, "Besides, the divine bone is a divine object, but I destroyed it. I am a sinner in the world of cultivation."
She pouted: "Brother, does Master want you to come and drive me away?"
Meng Yuci didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes to look at her, raised his hand, bent his fingers, and suddenly knocked on her head with a "bang".
Ji Chu cried out "Ouch", let go of his sleeve, and covered his head with both hands.
Then I saw my senior brother withdraw his hand expressionlessly and said:
"It doesn't sound empty, why are you always imagining things?"
Ji Chu: “…”
In view of her "criminal record", Meng Yuci said:
"No one can drive you away, and don't even think about leaving the sect quietly. If I don't agree, you'll be a defector."
Ji Chu shrank back upon hearing that.
The main reason was that in her previous life she had really "betrayed the sect" in front of her senior brother and ran away, and even injured her senior brother, so she felt guilty.
Seeing her guilty look, Meng Yuci couldn't help but frown, his tone getting colder:
"What's with that expression? Could it be that I'm right? Do you really dare to betray the sect?"
"No, no."
Ji Chu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "Never."
In her previous life, she hadn't intentionally wanted to betray her clan. She simply had no other choice. The situation was pressing, so she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure...
Meng Yuci looked at her a few times and didn't ask any more questions.
He touched Ji Chu's head and his voice softened:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Master didn't scold me."
At most it's an accusation.
However, there is no need for Ji Chu to worry about it.
There are too many secrets in her mind. If she worries about this and that, she will probably be alone for a long time. Finally, she can't bear it anymore and will run to the Zhilu Hall to say "I want to leave the sect."
Besides, it was he who decided to believe Ji Chu and it was he who decided to give her a chance to try, so he should have borne the consequences.
As long as he is still there, no one can touch Ji Chu without him.
Then he added, "Don't spread the news about the divine bone. I will handle the rest."
Only after hearing him say this did Ji Chu feel relieved.
Things have been happening one after another these past few days, and her head is about to explode. If her senior brother is punished by the master because of her, that would really make her uncomfortable.
When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but think of the dream again.
Golden eyes...
It really wanted to kill her.
Why?
What exactly is it?
What he saw before his death in his previous life, was it Xue Xianchen, or... the divine bone?
Meng Yuci didn't say anything. He just watched her thinking to herself, frowning a little bit, as if she had encountered a huge problem.
But he waited for a long time and she didn't speak.
She didn't ask him for help, nor did she try to explain what she said in her confusion.
He could ask directly, asking who "it" was, asking Ji Chu why she always asked herself "will I kill her", and why she was so scared.
but……
In the end, he said nothing, but just stood quietly beside Ji Chu, helping her gather her hair that was blown by the wind.
After a long time, Ji Chu seemed to have finally made up his mind. He tugged at his sleeve and looked at him:
"Brother, I am not controlled by the divine bone. I am special, right?"
Meng Yuci lowered his five fingers from his sleeves, gently wrapped them around her hand, and whispered:
"Um."
Ji Chu smiled, and she suddenly grasped his fingers, looking at him expectantly:
"Brother, I believe you won't kill me. Can you trust me too?"
Meng Yuci felt his heart pounding, as if she was clutching his heart.
Her eyes seemed to have magic, and even his breathing was almost controlled by her.
Then he said, "I believe you."
