Chapter 3 Chapter 3 My own junior sister, I worry about it myself...
Ji Chu was uneasy, always suspecting that news about Shen Ke had spread and her reputation was going to start to deteriorate again. She couldn't help but get anxious and even wanted to break in to see what was going on.
But her knees were numb with pain. Just as she moved to the door, Master Yan suddenly appeared from behind the door, blocking her view and questioning her:
"What are you doing?"
He looked Ji Chu up and down, his expression somewhat strange, as if he was looking at some rare spectacle:
"Someone has testified that you were indeed at Xuanhe Peak when Yuan Fu died, and you were not in the same direction as the Weapon Refining Hall. You can leave now."
Ji Chu stopped and was about to explain, "What Chen Ke said is nonsense, just ignore him," when he suddenly realized what Hall Master Yan said.
She was a little confused for a moment, with a look of disbelief on her face:
"Someone testified for me? How is that possible? Xuanhe Peak is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to approach without permission. How could anyone else have seen me?"
Master Yan glared at her:
"You still know that Xuanhe Peak is a forbidden area? Although you didn't kill anyone, you trespassed into the forbidden area. I will tell Mingwutang to deduct the points that should be deducted."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Ji Chu's gaze followed his figure to the back of the door, and she vaguely saw a person standing there, with a posture as straight as pine or bamboo, and seemed to be looking in her direction.
She felt inexplicably empty inside, and suddenly felt a burning sensation at the back of her neck, which disappeared in an instant.
Ji Chu left the Zhilu Hall in confusion.
Xu Ying had been waiting at the door impatiently for a long time. When she saw someone coming out, she pulled her onto the sword and flew into the sky with a "whoosh".
Ji Chu was caught off guard and snorted coldly when he heard Xu Ying say in front of him:
"I knew it! Who would slander you for no reason? It turned out to be that bitch Xue Xianchen!"
She accelerated her sword:
"Let's go! Let's go kill him now!"
Ji Chu coughed a few times and came to his senses:
"So it was him."
Xue Xianchen, Xue Wanning's younger brother.
She only found out later that the reason Chen Ke brought her back to Fu Yu Xian Zong was because she had a face that looked very similar to Xue Wan Ning.
To Shen Ke, she was like an ornament that looked very much like Xue Wanning, which he kept in front of him and played with at all times to express his remembrance of her.
Ornaments cannot have their own thoughts, and they cannot look unlike the person themselves.
So she had to be like Xue Wan Ning, speaking softly and having a slender figure, and especially, she had to learn the piano, which she was best at.
No wonder Chen Ke seemed like a different person after she smashed the piano in her previous life. He suddenly scolded her harshly and made her kneel for several days. After that, he often looked at her with dissatisfaction. His hot and cold attitude made her confused all day long.
As for Xue Xianchen, everyone thought that he was Xue Wanning's good brother and the second son of a cultivation family. Everyone in the Fu Yu Immortal Sect was particularly protective of him.
But Ji Chu had fought with him all his life and knew that this man was two-faced and cruel. He would do anything for his sister, let alone kill people and steal treasures.
At the end of her previous life, she was certain:
Xue Xianchen is a demon who has coveted his sister since childhood and therefore hates her as a substitute to the core.
As for how a demon could stand so openly in the territory of Fu Yu Xian Zong without being discovered, she didn't know.
In short, there was a reason why this basin of dirty water was thrown on her head.
After figuring this out, Ji Chu was not as angry as Xu Ying.
She pulled Xu Ying's sleeve:
"I'm hungry. I want to go eat some delicious food, some meat, and some hot pot!"
Xu Ying opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked around to confirm that there was no one else around. Then she asked in shock:
“Didn’t you say that Elder Shen didn’t allow you to eat these things?”
Chen Ke didn't allow Ji Chu to eat human food because Xue Wan Ning didn't like it.
Ji Chu didn't dare to contradict him and could only endure it. Although he was already fasting, he missed the delicious food so much that he looked much thinner than before he came in.
Now that Ji Chu had died once, he no longer wanted to care about Chen Ke. He just said:
"But I really want to eat it now. If I can't eat it, I will starve to death."
Perhaps because she looked so weak and pitiful, Xu Ying turned the sword around without saying a word and quickly took her to the dining hall.
Most of the practitioners practice fasting and no longer indulge in food desires. Only the outer disciples who cannot fast come to eat, so the dining hall is always deserted.
Ji Chu occupied a large table alone. By the time Xu Ying went to bring a bowl of noodles, half of the food on the table had already been eaten.
Xu Ying was stunned:
"Ji Chu, what are you doing..."
Ji Chu looked up, a little embarrassed:
“Did I eat too much?”
“How could it be!”
Xu Ying sat down beside her, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Before you entered the sect, you still had some flesh on your face, which made you look very cute. But after you joined, you became thinner and thinner, with a chin so sharp that it could kill someone..."
After saying this, she was very emotional:
"I finally see you eating with your mouthfuls! I'm so happy!"
Ji Chu: “…”
She stuffed another bun into her mouth.
It’s really painful to imitate Xue Wanning.
Xue Wanning is the eldest daughter of a family of cultivators. She is dignified, elegant, gentle and virtuous.
But she used to be just an ordinary person, who only cared about being casual and comfortable in her actions.
Forcing yourself into an inappropriate shell is like cutting your feet to fit the shoes, which is extremely painful.
But she came to the sect alone, and the only person she could rely on was Chen Ke.
The more she resembled Xue Wanning, the kinder Shen Ke would be to her.
For this little bit of cheap goodwill, she actually went against her conscience and persisted for a long time.
When Ji Chu thought about how she tried her best to please Chen Ke in her previous life, but he abandoned her without hesitation in the end, she became so angry that her teeth itched and she gnawed on another chicken leg.
Xu Ying looked at her with a loving gaze the whole time. After watching her eat for a long time, she suddenly said:
"Ji Chu, why do I feel like you seem a little different?"
Ji Chu slowed down her eating and drinking and looked at Xu Ying:
"What's the difference?"
Xu Ying moved closer and looked at her face carefully.
Ji Chu didn't move and let her watch.
After a while, Xu Yingcai said:
“I can’t really put it into words, but it’s gotten better than before.”
Ji Chu couldn't help laughing.
Xu Ying then said excitedly:
"That's right, that's it!"
She sighed:
"I've wanted to say this before. No matter how good Elder Shen is, he's not as good as you. Why bother compromising yourself for his preferences?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chu felt deeply moved.
Her friendship with Xu Ying also originated from Chen Ke.
Xu Ying loves handsome men the most in her life.
In the sect, Immortal Lord Shen Ke was famous for his good looks, with long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a high nose and thin lips. He was an unparalleled gentleman, clear-headed and handsome, and treated people like a gentle spring breeze. Many disciples in the sect liked him, and Xu Ying was no exception.
Since Ji Chu was brought back to Fu Yu Xian Zong by Chen Ke himself and designated to join the inner sect, Xu Ying found Ji Chu and asked about Chen Ke from time to time.
After a few interactions, their relationship gradually improved. For two consecutive lives, Xu Ying was Ji Chu's rare and close friend.
Thinking of Xu Ying's tragic death, Ji Chu felt sad.
She said solemnly:
"Xu Ying, I will definitely not be stupid again this time."
Xu Ying was startled by her sudden seriousness:
"What's wrong with you? Ji Chu, did something happen?"
Ji Chu shook his head and said evasively:
"It was just a nightmare."
Xu Ying patted her shoulder:
"Don't be afraid, nightmares are all fake."
Ji Chu nodded:
"You're right, this time will definitely be different."
After saying that, she fell on her back.
Xu Ying: “???!”
*
Yanyi Pavilion.
Elder Tan Zhi made his diagnosis expressionlessly:
"The spiritual energy was impacted, and the meridians were damaged. You are lucky to be alive."
Ji Chu: “…”
Xu Ying was furious:
"What?! How dare he abuse lynching in the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"Thank you, Elder Tan."
Ji Chu took the pill handed to him by Tan Zhi, swallowed it in one gulp, and hesitated to speak:
"……no."
This story starts with her going to Xuanhe Peak to smash the piano.
Xuanhe Peak is located in a remote area with steep peaks. It is also a forbidden area and no one usually approaches it.
Ji Chu's life in Fu Yu Xian Zong was not good. Although he was accepted by the leader, he was training with Chen Ke.
Chen Ke was also "very good" to her at the beginning.
Knowing that she had lost her family, he was worried, so he postponed many of her studies, kept her by his side all the time, spoke to her in a gentle voice, and was very considerate.
She had been in the sect for many days, but she could not even recognize a few of her fellow disciples and was forced to rely on Chen Ke alone.
Until that day, Xue Xianchen "accidentally" told her that the reason why Shen Ke saved her was because she had a face that looked very similar to Xue Wanning.
"My sister's zither skills are world-renowned. You've studied so hard for so many years, but you're just an imitator. It's ridiculous."
She was frightened and knew that she had no talent for playing the piano, so she bravely said that she "didn't want to learn the piano."
After listening to her, Shen Ke still had a gentle and calm smile on his face, but what he said was shocking:
"The zither suits you best. You should like it. Don't let your good looks go to waste."
In a moment of impulse, she questioned him on the spot: "Is it because Xue Wan Ning is good at playing the piano?" The smile on Shen Ke's face froze for a moment, and his tone became a little colder:
"Don't say these words again."
In desperation, Ji Chu climbed a total of 1,200 steps alone, holding his zither, and reached the top of Xuanhe Peak.
She originally wanted to commit suicide.
A mortal whose entire family was harmed by demons, was lucky enough to be spotted and rescued by the elders of the Fu Yu Immortal Sect, and brought back to the fairyland to be carefully taught, all because of this face.
She had been pampered at home before, so how could she be willing to be a "substitute"?!
A cold wind was howling at the top of Xuanhe Peak, and the fog below the mountain was so thick and chaotic that nothing could be seen clearly.
She thought this was a great place, a good place for her to leave quietly.
Ji Chu closed his eyes and jumped down courageously.
She thought her life was over, but unexpectedly she hit an invisible wall of air and bounced back to her original position.
Ji Chu reached out and touched it, and felt a thick barrier.
The courage to commit suicide is fleeting.
She was not glad that she was still alive, but felt that even the barrier was against her, forcing her to go back and continue playing the endless broken piano.
In a fit of rage, she picked up the zither and smashed it into the air.
This smash used all her strength, and the famous zither "Tong Jun" given to her by Chen Ke cracked.
The barrier in front of her suddenly burst out with powerful spiritual power, and a gap appeared at the point of impact. Even more surging spiritual power burst out from the gap, knocking her several feet away.
At that time, the sun and the moon alternated, the morning light was dim, and as the fog dissipated, a dazzling golden crow jumped out from the clouds, illuminating the ending that was torn into spider silk as bright as glass.
Ji Chu suddenly forgot that he was still thinking about committing suicide. He was just shocked by the breathtaking scenery and was speechless for a long time.
Later, she said nothing to anyone, wiped the tears from her face, and silently went down the mountain holding the broken zither.
When Chen Ke saw the broken zither, his attitude changed drastically. For the first time in two years, he sternly scolded her for being "violent and unfit to practice" and sent her to kneel down as punishment.
He knelt for several days, missing the opportunity to clarify the rumors and the best time to repair his meridians.
I think this "spiritual power shock and meridian damage" was caused by the blow when the barrier was broken.
Ji Chu withdrew his thoughts.
Elder Tan Zhi fed her many more pills before speaking:
"Fortunately, you ate something careless and accidentally caused this injury to occur prematurely. Otherwise, if your meridians had continued to deteriorate, it would have been difficult for you to seek the great way in the future."
Xu Ying was very worried about Ji Chu.
Ji Chu thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Elder."
Tan Zhi waved his hand indifferently.
Ji Chu sincerely thanked Elder Tan Zhi.
In her previous life, her cultivation was hindered and she could not make any progress, and it became increasingly difficult for her to gain a foothold in the sect.
With Shen Ke's cultivation level, he might have noticed that her meridians were damaged, but he just didn't care.
After all, to him, Ji Chu was only valuable because he was similar to Xue Wanning.
It doesn't matter what your cultivation level is. In fact, it's easier to control if your cultivation level is average.
Thinking of this, Ji Chu couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Xu Ying naturally thought of this, but she didn't know about the twists and turns between Chen Ke and Ji Chu, and was still trying to comfort her:
"Perhaps Elder Shen's eyesight is blurry due to his age, so he didn't notice that you were injured."
Ji Chu was amused by her words.
The two suddenly remembered that Elder Tan Zhi was still nearby, and turned their heads to look.
However, Elder Tan Zhi acted as if he hadn't heard Xu Ying say anything outrageous, and only said:
"The pills can only replenish your body temporarily. Ultimately, you still have to rely on yourself to repair your meridians."
After saying this, she added casually:
"The spiritual energy that destroyed your meridians is extremely powerful. If you cannot absorb it, you will be harmed by it. In this world, blessings and disasters are often interdependent."
"I see!"
Ji Chu's eyes suddenly brightened:
"Thank you, Elder. I will go back and meditate and circulate my spiritual energy!"
After Ji Chu left, Elder Tan Zhi sorted out the books while speaking to the void:
"His comprehension is acceptable, but his cultivation is too low. It would be best if someone watches him while he repairs his meridians."
No one responded, so she continued:
"Yanyi Pavilion is short of staff. My junior sister is the one who worries about it herself."
Two faint words came from the void:
"Thank you very much."
