Chapter 15 Chapter 15 It turns out that she has always hated her senior brother...
This was the first time she met her senior brother after being reborn.
Ji Chu was a little stunned.
Senior Brother was just as he remembered, tall, with extremely fair skin, and a pair of dark, cold eyes that were even colder than the black jade in the cold pond.
He has a cold aura around him and his face never shows any expression. When he doesn't speak, he gives people the feeling that he is very difficult to approach.
The moonlight cast a layer of pale and illusory light on the senior brother, making his face look even colder and his breath even cooler.
Because he had touched her shoulder just now, his fingertips and cuffs were stained, like dust falling on white jade.
Ji Chu felt a little embarrassed.
She patted her shoulder uncomfortably and rubbed her face with the back of her hand.
When she looked at her senior brother, her senior brother was also looking at her.
A gray cat-like face, as if it had just rolled in the mud, with only a pair of eyes still visible, and doubts were clearly visible in them.
As she wiped her face, the cat-like face became even more disheveled.
He performed a cleaning spell, and Ji Chu and he immediately became clean.
Then he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Chu's wrist.
Ji Chu was startled and subconsciously tried to retract his hand, but he couldn't break free from his movements. He shouted in fear:
“Senior Brother!”
The muteness he had been pretending to be for a long time was finally revealed.
The panic and fear in her tone did not seem fake. Meng Yuci looked up at her and suddenly asked:
"Can you speak?"
His tone was still as calm as usual, but Ji Chu seemed to hear a hint of sarcasm in his words.
She was a little annoyed.
After saying this, Meng Yuci stopped looking at her. He placed his fingertips on her wrist, felt for a moment, and said calmly:
"You are so righteous even though your spiritual power is dissipating."
This is by no means a compliment.
Even before his meridians were damaged and he had recovered, he dared to pour all his spiritual power into the sword and forcibly break the formation.
At this time, his spiritual veins were exhausted, his meridians were disordered, and he was back to the state he was in when he was injured. All the efforts he had made before were in vain.
Ji Chu knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to ask his senior brother how he knew that his meridians were damaged.
She lowered her head and bit her lip, not responding to his sarcasm. She said in a very low voice: "...Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
Meng Yuci looked at her again.
Ji Chu acted very strangely. She didn't dare to answer his questions, nor did she want to pick up his conversation. She didn't even care why he was trying to help her out.
She clearly dared to step onto the stage of life and death and to contradict Chen Ke. She was not a timid person before, but now she dared not breathe in front of him, as if she was very afraid of him.
It's really not the reaction of a normal person seeing his senior brother.
Meng Yuci couldn't help but think, what had he done before that scared her?
Probably not.
When Ji Chu joined the sect, he had already entered the barrier for seclusion. It was only later that he found out that he had a nominal junior sister.
Apart from the fact that he concealed his identity to help her repair her meridians, today should be the first time Ji Chu saw him.
Ji Chu was startled by his look and suddenly realized that his subconscious action had revealed a flaw.
What should be your reaction when you meet your senior for the first time?
Ji Chu tried to hypnotize himself to forget the things in his past life, pretending to be meeting his senior brother's disciple for the first time, being polite, courteous, and keeping his distance:
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for helping me out today. If you have nothing else to do, I will..."
She bowed and performed the disciple's salute, confirming that her etiquette and words were appropriate. Then she pointed to the room behind her, took a step back, and pretended to go back to rest.
"stop."
These two short words stopped her from retreating.
Ji Chu had no choice but to stop and saw her senior brother walking towards her, passing her and pushing open the gate before her.
"Your meridians are damaged and you can't delay any longer. I will protect you. Now practice."
Ji Chu: “?!”
She was still caught up in the complicated mood of seeing her senior brother again, so how could she have time to practice meditation?
What's more, enough flaws have been exposed today. If senior brother continues to stay here, there is no guarantee that she will not say something nonsense without thinking.
By then, the resurrection will be exposed...
She would probably be miserable.
Ji Chu quickly refused:
"No need, Senior Brother. I can repair my meridians by myself. I don't need a Dharma Protector."
"You come alone?"
Meng Yuci looked at her with obvious distrust in his eyes, and listed the evidence of her crimes since they met:
"I don't practice when I'm tired, when I'm in a bad mood, or when something suddenly happens. I spend more than half an hour distracted. Without anyone to supervise me, how long will it take to repair my meridians?"
Ji Chu was stunned by his long string of words.
She couldn't help but reflect in her heart along with his words: Is she really like this?
But……
Even if she is really like this, why does Senior Brother know it so clearly?!
Could it be that the mysterious senior came to complain to my senior brother? !
After this conversation, Ji Chu's nervousness at first meeting his senior brother suddenly turned into anger at being exposed. He no longer cared about "being polite and keeping a distance" and argued fiercely:
"That's because of the special circumstances...I'm not usually like this!"
I've just been reborn, and things are happening one after another. It's normal to get distracted occasionally.
She will definitely focus in the future!
But Meng Yuci obviously didn't trust her self-control.
More importantly, the condition of her meridians was too bad. If she couldn't sort them out in time, it would affect her future practice.
He came out of retreat early just to help her repair her meridians. Now the progress has been reset to zero and even got worse. Meng Yuci's patience is running out.
He had taught his disciples before, but he had never gone to such lengths.
As long as he was present, the disciples would practice diligently without him having to say a word, for fear of displeasing him.
Up to now, he has only been more lenient with Ji Chu, thinking about how she had a hard time with Shen Ke and how she had inadvertently saved him from a disaster, so he was willing to be patient and talk to her nicely.
It turned out that he was soft-hearted during the day and agreed to her request to practice at night. As a result, she hurt herself even more seriously and made a scene in the Law Hall to the point of wanting to leave the sect.
If he hadn't waited for a long time without seeing anyone, and hadn't gone to the Law Enforcement Hall in time to stop her, would she really have planned to leave the sect with these broken meridians and fend for herself?
How could he still believe her promise when she acted so impulsively and without distinguishing the importance of things?
He is young and playful, no wonder the master specially asked him to look after him.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuci's eyes turned cold. He looked at Ji Chu quietly and asked one last time:
"Will you repair it?"
Ji Chu felt a chill on his back. Being stared at by his calm gaze, he naturally felt a sense of fear.
She surrendered immediately:
"I'll practice. I'll go meditate now."
*
Ji Chu was meditating in the yard with a bitter face.
She didn't know why things suddenly turned out like this.
When she first met her senior brother in her previous life, he didn't threaten her to practice with a cold face. He was even cold and didn't say a few words to her.
Why did the senior brother suddenly become so concerned about her this time?
She was very sad, but she couldn't show it.
I could only silently repeat in my heart, "Be polite and keep your distance", "Senior brother is senior brother, no different from Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Zhao and other senior brothers."
But the more he deliberately ignored the people around him, the more memories of his senior brother from his previous life came flooding back.
That day, she was defeated miserably in a sword fight and ran to the woods in the back mountain to cry with her injuries. Halfway through her crying, she found that a very handsome swordsman was standing behind her.
The other person held a plain white sword in his hand, his face was cold and handsome, his demeanor was as white as snow, and there was silence in his eyes as he looked at her.
She stared at the sword in his hand and was distracted, forgetting to continue crying.
"Why are you crying?"
The other party spoke, his voice was low and cold, like snow pressing on green pine, like the sound of nature.
But his tone was cold, matching the chill in his body, as if he was questioning her.
Ji Chu felt that even though he had hidden himself away to cry, he was still being chased and despised. He was suddenly filled with grief, and his tears flowed uncontrollably.
The other party asked again:
"Why don't you speak?"
She covered her eyes and ignored him, feeling that he was annoying, and planned to find another place to cry.
Someone held down his shoulders.
He didn't use much strength, but he pressed her so hard that she couldn't move.
The cut on her arm was throbbing with pain. She wanted to run, but a spiritual power came from the hand pressing on her shoulder. It was cool and wiped away the wound.
Ji Chu looked up blankly and heard him say:
"My name is Meng Yuci, and I'm your senior brother."
"Stop crying."
…
Ji Chu couldn't help but sigh.
She closed her eyes, and in her mind was the threat of "killing her" from her senior brother in her previous life, and then the indifferent expression of her senior brother in this life.
The senior brother knew nothing and just treated himself as an ordinary junior sister.
But she couldn't stop thinking about the past, couldn't stop recalling the pain and despair of the Shaowei sword piercing her heart.
What should she do...
When she was feeling upset, a voice suddenly came from above her head, exploding in her ears like a bolt from the blue.
"Are you upset because of me?"
Ji Chu was shocked when he heard his senior brother's words. He could no longer pretend to be meditating and suddenly opened his eyes to look at him.
The sky was getting dim.
The senior brother stood one step away from her.
He was very tall, just blocking the rising sun that was just emerging from the horizon. Standing against the light, the emotions between his eyebrows were suppressed by his long eyelashes into an unclear and unfathomable shadow.
Those dark and cold eyes were staring at her without blinking.
Ji Chu was completely covered by his figure, like a particularly vibrant light, clearly reflected in the center of his dark eyes.
The hem of her skirt spread out on the ground as she meditated, with one corner exposed to the sunlight. The light blue hem seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.
This light at the junction of light and darkness is so much like a farewell in the previous life.
On one side is the great path that her senior brother seeks, and on the other side is the end of her life.
It was at this moment that Ji Chu suddenly realized that she had always hated her senior brother.
She hated him for being so heartless and cruel as to kill her.
She hated his sharpness, for seeing through her distortion, inferiority and anxiety.
She hated him even more for his indulgence. He clearly didn't like her, but he still let her offend him several times without saying no, and let her fall deeper and deeper into him. But in the end, he wanted to cut everything off with his own hands in front of her.
How cruel.
How absurd!
She actually hated her senior brother all along...
Once this idea came up, it took root like spring bamboo shoots and suddenly brought rain.
Everything seems to have a traceable path, and there is also a way forward.
All the mistakes in the previous life were wrong paths. Now that you have been reborn, you can no longer follow them.
She won't go wrong again.
