Chapter 72 Chapter 72 I think Junior Sister is like this, it’s very good…
The main hall of the main peak.
Immortal Master Huiyuan sat high up at the head of the table, dignified and solemn, with a peaceful demeanor, quietly sizing up the people in the hall.
Next to Chen Ke stood a woman in plain clothes, with a slender figure and a majestic demeanor.
A pair of thin eyebrows are as shallow as distant mountains, and eyes are as affectionate as spring water. When looking at people, they seem to be shrouded in a layer of mist, quiet and beautiful.
When she spoke, her tone was gentle and her voice was so soft and elegant that it made people feel no dislike at all.
"Junior Xue Wanning greets Immortal Huiyuan."
Huiyuan Immortal Venerable raised his hand:
"No need to be so polite. How is the Xue family's Patriarch in good health?"
"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Immortal Venerable."
Xue Wanning smiled softly:
"When the Patriarch mentioned that I was seriously injured, it was thanks to the Immortal Venerable that he gave me the Soul Gathering Lamp, that I was able to gather my soul and wake up. He even caused the Immortal Venerable's disciple to disappear in order to save me."
As she spoke, a trace of sadness appeared between her brows:
"This junior has no special skills, but I caused the Immortal Master's disciples to get injured and go missing. This is truly my fault..."
Shen Ke frowned when he heard this:
"This matter has been investigated. It was caused by a demon. Ji Chu's cultivation was not good, but he was anxious to save people, so he was shot down by the demon. How can it be said that it is your fault?"
Ji Chu happened to hear this when he came over.
When she thought about what Kong Huiduan had done and what she had experienced in the past few days, even though the head of the sect was still sitting there, she couldn't help but speak:
"Does Elder Shen mean that I should watch my fellow disciples get hurt without helping them?"
Chen Ke and Xue Wanning turned around when they heard the voice.
Two figures appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
One of them was tall and handsome, with a cold expression and a stern demeanor. He was like a sword returning to its sheath. Although his edge was not visible, he still made people feel fearful.
At first glance, he is obviously a cultivator at the peak of the Transformation Realm. His sword aura is awe-inspiring. Apart from Meng Yuci from the Fu Yu Immortal Sect, no one else has such a dignified demeanor and cultivation level.
But his eyes were always on the person beside him.
Xue Wanning saw Ji Chu at a glance.
Although she was standing next to the cool and elegant Meng Yuci, she did not seem to be outshined at all. Instead, she looked like a cold jade reflecting a flower, appearing even more lively and beautiful.
Although his facial features were similar to hers, his temperament was completely different. His eyes were even clearer and brighter, blacker and rounder than pearls. When he strode in, his gaze on Chen Ke was even brighter than flames.
Xue Wanning glanced at Chen Ke and saw that he was staring at Ji Chu intently, his expression not as calm as before.
She sneered inwardly.
No wonder Chen Ke cares so much about Ji Chu. Even though he cannot take him in, he still wants to keep him by his side and educate him.
If such a beautiful and lively person could focus solely on Chen Ke, how much it would satisfy his hypocritical and empty heart...
It just seems that Shen Ke's calculations seemed to have gone astray.
Ji Chu retorted as soon as they met. Judging from her spiritual power, although she had just entered the realm of perfection, she had already developed the initial sword intent.
It's obvious at first glance that this is not something Chen Ke can teach.
But looking at it, he is somewhat similar to Meng Yuci.
The two walked in side by side, clearly with different temperaments, but at first glance, they were surprisingly harmonious.
Xue Wanning's gaze moved between Ji Chu and Meng Yuci, then she looked away.
Ji Chu bowed to the Immortal Hui Yuan:
"Disciple greets Master."
As soon as Huiyuan Immortal Venerable said "No need to be polite", she turned back decisively and said to Chen Ke:
"So Kong Huiduan didn't help Chen Wu and me that day, and even tried to steal the Soul Gathering Lamp. Could it be that Elder Shen taught him this?"
Ji Chu spoke frankly and without reservation, directly revealing the situation at that time, almost pointing at Chen Ke's nose and saying that he "intentionally harmed his disciples" and "prevented Xue Wan from condensing his soul."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the main hall immediately looked at Chen Ke and Xue Wanning.
Everyone in the sect and even in the entire cultivation world knows that Chen Ke is deeply in love with Xue Wan Ning, so how could they stop him from gathering souls for her?
But Kong Huiduan is Chen Ke's direct disciple. Without his master's instructions, how could he have the courage to attack the Soul Gathering Lamp?
What's more, although there was no evidence in this matter, Ji Chu disappeared, Chen Wu asked for help, and Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu directly forced Kong Huiduan to go to the Xue family, successfully condensing the soul for Xue Wan, completely eliminating the possibility of being framed.
Now it seems that there is still something unclear about this matter.
Unfortunately, Chen Ke looked as usual, and there was no sign of anything wrong.
"Kong Huiduan has failed to do his job properly and failed to distinguish between public and private matters. I have already reprimanded him."
He glanced at Xue Wanning beside him:
"As for stealing the Soul Gathering Lamp, that's completely unfounded. I've heard about it before, but I understand you were no match for the monsters, and you successfully delivered the lamp and saved Wan Ning, so I don't want to argue with you juniors."
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Yuci and questioned:
"I wonder how Junior Brother Meng taught Junior Sister. It's bad enough that her mission was interrupted due to her poor skills, but he actually allowed her to falsely accuse the elders and shirk responsibility?"
Ever since Ji Chu started speaking, Meng Yuci had been standing beside her without saying a word, watching her speak quietly.
Although he did not offer any help, he did not stop it either.
If you look closely, there seems to be a bit of indulgence and appreciation in his eyes.
"What's this about Brother Guan?"
Ji Chu looked at Chen Ke with a frank expression:
"I only told the facts I saw, and never said anything wrong about Elder Shen. If you don't have a good martial art, don't save people. Isn't that what Elder Shen said himself? Everyone has their own thoughts after hearing the facts. How can this be considered a false accusation?"
Chen Ke frowned:
"When did you become so aggressive and arrogant..."
“That’s how I am!”
Ji Chu interrupted him:
"I wonder when Elder Shen became so confused about right and wrong, exaggerating things and making random accusations?"
She returned the word.
Shen Ke's face suddenly darkened:
"presumptuous!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Hui Yuan Xianzun said a few polite words:
"Well, there's no evidence in this matter, so there's no point in arguing."
"The innocent are innocent. Elder Shen is magnanimous and there is no need to bother with the younger generation."
He turned to Ji Chu:
"As for you, Ji Chu, I know you've been wronged, but this is no reason for you to disrespect your teachers. Why don't you hurry up and..."
"Master."
Meng Yuci, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Immortal Huiyuan paused and looked at him, wondering what this disciple was going to do next.
Ever since he was willing to destroy his divine bones and force himself out for Ji Chu, he has become less confident in this disciple.
But there are so many people around now that it’s hard to say more about some things.
Immortal Huiyuan could only warn Meng Yuci with his eyes.
Meng Yuci paid no attention to the warning in his eyes and simply said:
"Master is right. The innocent are innocent. I believe that Elder Shen is so confident that he dares to accuse me of not teaching my junior sister well."
Ji Chu couldn't help but turn around and look at him.
Just then, he met the glance cast by his senior brother.
The slightly upturned corners of his eyes reflected a hint of a smile, but when he spoke, his tone was exceptionally cold and stern:
"Elder Shen has a method of teaching his disciples. Some of his disciples use Du Ming powder to harm others, while others harbor ulterior motives and attack the Soul Gathering Lamp."
"you--"
Chen Ke looked angry.
Meng Yuci didn't look at him, but continued to look at Ji Chu with a smile, and continued:
"And my junior sister Ji Chu, who is smart, courageous, righteous and outspoken, not only saved her fellow disciples but also resolved the crisis of the Wrongful Death City being trapped by monsters."
Ji Chu felt a little embarrassed by his praise and quietly looked away.
But the senior brother's gaze was still on her, as if it were real and hard to ignore.
She couldn't help but start pulling at the ribbon on her sleeve, rubbing it between her fingertips, hoping that her senior brother would stop looking at her.
Meng Yuci noticed her discomfort, looked away, and looked up at the Immortal Master Huiyuan:
"It can be seen that I personally teach my junior sister. It is indeed the master's wisdom and teaching according to the students' aptitude."
The conversation went in twists and turns. He first praised Ji Chu, then praised himself, and finally praised Hui Yuan Xianzun, while only criticizing Chen Ke.
But he always had a calm expression. When he said this, no one would think that he was bragging, as if he was explaining some profound sword technique.
There was silence in the air.
Ji Chu thought: There are people in this world who can freeze the air with just the sound of their mouth.
For example, even if the senior brother is praising someone, it sounds like a warning before killing someone, leaving the other party speechless and speechless. No matter how they respond, it doesn't feel right, and they can only accept his conclusion.
The headmaster took a rare deep breath and forced a smile to smooth things over:
"Ji Chu is indeed a good kid. He has some talent for swordsmanship, but he's sometimes a little reckless and impulsive..."
Meng Yuci: "I think Junior Sister is doing this, it's very good."
That attitude is just like that of a blind parent who says, "My child is just so outstanding, don't talk about it if you don't understand." It is extremely arrogant.
Immortal Huiyuan: "..."
Well, he doesn't have to try to smooth things over here.
Meng Yuci obviously did not take Chen Ke seriously and told everyone clearly that anyone who dared to say anything bad about Ji Chu had to first ask his senior brother whether he agreed.
No matter how much Ji Chu made a fuss, he just said, "That's fine." Even his master couldn't say much, so what else could others say?
How did he have the wisdom to recognize talent and accept these two disciples?
Instead, Xue Wanning laughed and walked out from behind Chen Ke:
"Junior Sister Ji Chu was injured by the Soul Gathering Lamp, so she is my benefactor."
"I came here this time, firstly to thank the Sect Leader, and secondly, to thank Junior Sister in person."
Only then did Ji Chu look at the woman next to Chen Ke.
Xue Wanning.
In her previous life, she had little contact with Xue Wanning, so naturally there was no entanglement between them in terms of "favors or not".
All I know is that this person has a very good temper. He never gets angry and never speaks loudly. Whenever he appears, he always looks gentle and peaceful. He doesn't blame her as his "stand-in" and even seems to turn a blind eye to her.
But Ji Chu didn't like her very much.
Who made everyone say that they were Xue Wanning's stand-ins from the beginning?
Even though the two of them didn't look that much alike when standing together, Chen Ke's attitude made Ji Chu in his previous life hate his own appearance, which was really not a happy thing.
But it's not that she hates him. After all, those disgusting things were done by Chen Ke. Xue Wan Ning didn't know her existence at first, and she didn't know that Chen Ke would find her as a substitute.
There is no intersection and no conflicts, it seems like we are just strangers.
Ji Chu thought about it and didn't respond.
Xue Wanning also knew that Ji Chu was embarrassed in front of her and Shen Ke, so she did not deliberately embarrass her. She just saluted her and said:
"I brought many high-grade spiritual treasures with me on this trip, specially to thank you junior sisters. I hope you don't mind."
As she said that, she signaled someone from the Xue family to take Ji Chu and the others to choose.
In the eyes of everyone, she is indeed as considerate, gentle and generous as the rumors say.
Ji Chu then responded politely:
"Thank you very much."
Turned around and left the main hall.
After hearing the news, the three people who had been waiting outside saw her come out and hurriedly pulled her hand. They looked left and right, up and down, and found nothing wrong, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Ying hugged Ji Chu:
"I was so scared. Luckily you're okay! When I heard you weren't in the City of the Dead, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!"
Ji Chu patted her on the back:
"I'm fine, Xu Ying, did you have a smooth trip to the Xue family?"
Xu Ying still held her tightly, so Ji Chu looked at Jiang Chengxu standing beside her.
The other party nodded, then shook his head and said:
"This is not the place to talk, let's leave first."
It looks like there is something to say.

Senior Brother: (Indifferent) No. Love should be open and honest.
