Chapter 28 Chapter 28 He seemed to know how to raise Ji Chu...
Under the temptation of Panpan Fruit, Ji Chu practiced sword skills with great efficiency.
Coupled with the effect of her spiritual power flowing more smoothly after the upgrade, she performed a set of sword moves with passion, which was a great improvement compared to yesterday.
Although Meng Yuci felt that her passion was most likely focused on the plate of fruit in his hand.
He did not practice with Ji Chu today, but sat at the table, watching her sword swings and giving her some pointers from time to time.
Only after he said "Okay" did Ji Chu put away his sword and stand in front of him, his eyes fixed on the fruit in his hand.
After careful consideration, Meng Yuci asked:
"Do you hate me?"
"How could that be!"
Ji Chu had completely forgotten what he had said after kicking the door and making a scene. At this moment, Pan Pan Guo had blinded his mind and decisively rejected it:
"Senior Brother is the best brother in the world. I love him so much, how could I possibly hate him?"
After saying this, she clasped her hands together, leaned forward, and asked him hopefully:
"My performance just now was pretty good, right? Can I get a delicious panpan fruit?"
Meng Yuci looked at her carefully, and Ji Chu blinked her eyes to show her sincerity.
He then gave her the fruit without further questioning and said:
"It's okay today, we'll continue tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother!"
Ji Chu cheered excitedly, saying that today was indeed a wonderful day, and then ran away in circles holding the fruit.
Meng Yuci looked at her cheerful back and fell into deep thought.
He seemed to know how to raise Ji Chu.
*
Ji Chu held the daily "quota" of panpan fruit in his hands and was reluctant to eat it for a long time.
After much thought, she decided to share this happiness with the rabbit.
So she quickly went to Qingji Peak. It was still early and the people who fed the rabbits had already left. The rabbits were still squatting on the grass, lazily eating the newly planted red spirit fruits.
She crawled into the rabbit pile, showed the panpan fruit to the rabbits, and whispered:
"Look! Where did this panpan fruit come from?"
After saying this, she pretended to be surprised, touching her chest and making an exaggerated gesture:
"Ah! It's the Pan Pan Fruit that my senior brother gave me!"
The panpan fruit is similar in color to the red spirit fruit that rabbits like. A rabbit came up to smell it, but found that it was not a red spirit fruit, so it jumped away in disgust.
"How tasteless."
Ji Chu rolled his eyes at the rabbit:
"This is given by my senior brother! Senior brother! Do you know how difficult it is to beg for snacks from my senior brother?"
She made too much noise, and the rabbits were annoyed, so they pressed their ears and jumped away.
Ji Chu squatted there, and seeing that no rabbit was willing to pay attention to her, she angrily took a bite of the fruit.
It tastes sweet and refreshing.
The image of her senior brother in her mind instantly changed from "a cold-blooded swordsman" to "a soft-hearted god".
The senior brother today seems to be very different from the senior brother in his previous life who always had a cold face and was full of distance.
It seems to become more real and closer!
In her previous life, she had wanted to get along harmoniously with her senior brother like ordinary senior brothers and sisters, but she never had the chance.
Because of the subsequent poisoning accident, he even lost the ability to be an ordinary fellow disciple.
Now that I have a new life, I unexpectedly got this opportunity!
How can this not be considered a blessing from God!
She must not let him down!
Ji Chu bit the fruit and secretly made up his mind:
In this life, she must study hard, practice diligently, and become a harmonious brother and sister with her senior brother!
*
"Study hard, practice diligently, and cultivate earnestly" is easier said than done.
When practicing sword with his senior brother, he was chased and beaten by Taozhi more and more often, and the whole yard was filled with Ji Chu's figure jumping up and down.
Although she knew that she could make rapid progress by sparring with such a powerful swordsman like her senior brother, she still had the unrighteous thought of "changing masters" from time to time.
After all, having an opponent that you can never defeat is really frustrating!
Naturally, she didn't dare tell these words to her senior brother, and could only be angry in her heart.
Then Ji Chu's gaze fell on the peach tree in his senior brother's yard, transferring all his hatred to the tree whose buds were gradually opening and revealing pink flowers.
It’s all because of this bad tree!
Why does it have to grow branches for no reason?! Can't it just have a flower on the top?!
When she looked at the tree, she felt itchy and Meng Yuci would put a round fruit in her palm and praise her:
“There is progress.”
The easy-going Ji Chu then ate the fruit again to calm down.
She felt that she was a little too easy to please, but she couldn't resist her senior brother's praise, and the panpan fruit was so delicious.
After eating the fruit, he continued practicing sword.
The senior brother held the peach branch and stood still, his posture upright and his expression indifferent. He even looked relaxed, without any of the murderous aura he had when he held the sword.
But he only needed to raise his hand slightly, and the peach branch would fall on Ji Chu at a strange and tricky angle, and he could not avoid it no matter how hard he racked his brains or used all his tricks.
The strength of the peak of the Transformation Realm overwhelmed the sixth-level disciples of the Profound Realm, making it effortless for her senior brother to teach her swordsmanship as if he were playing with a child.
No matter how much Ji Chu respected his senior brother, every time he saw him beating him all over the yard with such "expressionless and nonchalant" behavior, he couldn't help but be provoked and gritted his teeth to win again.
His sword moves improved rapidly.
Even if he couldn't dodge it, he had learned some of the decisive and ruthless momentum when Meng Yuci drew his sword.
But I am still far from being as good as my senior brother.
Seeing that she started to grit her teeth every time she gripped the sword, it was obvious that she was obsessed with it. Meng Yuci then realized that his crushing teaching method was a little inappropriate.
Education should be fun and children should feel the joy of improving their grades every day.
Therefore, in order to avoid pushing Ji Chu to the point of going astray, he hurriedly studied the "Disciple Teaching Guide" that other elders had, and changed his teaching ideas halfway, from "chasing Ji Chu and beating him" to "letting Ji Chu dodge once in a while."
As expected, Ji Chu's face, which had swelled up like a pufferfish, flattened again, and she turned back into the cute little junior sister with bright eyes.
Every time he successfully dodged, he would jump three feet high, rub his hands together and shout "Come again".
Meng Yuci finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The days passed peacefully for more than a month.
Meng Yuci was too strict, so Ji Chu was forced to speed up his cultivation.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw her senior brother with a cold face holding a branch of flowers, which looked even more handsome than holding a sword. She was reciting sword techniques in her dreams and didn't even have time to make a dinner appointment with Xu Ying.
His cultivation had greatly improved, not only stabilizing at the sixth level of the Profound Realm, but even showing signs of reaching the seventh level.
Xu Ying's comments:
"Brother Meng may look cold and heartless, but in fact, a strict teacher produces excellent students. Not only can you improve your cultivation, but you can also face Brother Meng's unparalleled appearance every day. Ji Chu, you are so lucky!"
Ji Chu recalled his senior brother's appearance and felt that what she said made sense.
Three days before the Immortal Questioning Conference, something not too big or too small suddenly happened.
Kong Huiduan hasn't appeared since he lost more than a thousand points to "Banbanyu".
Ji Chu originally thought that the matter of the "Soul-Destroying Formation" was over, and he had long since put the hatred behind him and devoted himself to cultivation.
Unexpectedly, one day when Ji Chu was passing by Guangxuan Peak with a sword in his arms, someone suddenly poured a basin of water mixed with Duming powder on his head.
Duming powder can disguise a person's breath as a ghost. Many people or monks often apply this thing on their bodies when they sneak into the ghost world.
Although there was no major damage, Guangxuan Peak, where everyone carried several magical weapons and talismans, instantly attracted a lot of attacks.
Even though Ji Chu had gained experience in dodging counterattacks these days, he was still hit on the right hand by the talismans and magical weapons flying from all directions when he was caught off guard.
My wrist suddenly turned blue.
Although the body of a cultivator is much stronger than that of a mortal, and the elixirs from the Xuanyi Pavilion were effective, the wrist of the sword in her right hand was injured, and her strength was greatly reduced.
The place where Ji Chu was splashed with water was a corner where no one paid attention, and the talisman sensed the ghostly aura and attacked her actively.
The owner of the talisman that injured her was an ordinary cultivator. He rushed to apologize as soon as the incident happened, and Guangxuan Peak was clear of all charges.
Besides, it is common for cultivators to get injured, especially sword cultivators, who often suffer from injuries caused by bumps and bruises. No one would hold a trial over such a trivial matter.
But when Xu Ying heard this, she immediately called it "the bitch Kong Huiduan's deliberate revenge" and insisted on chasing to Guangxuan Peak to "ask for justice", but ended up being ridiculed.
Kong Huiduan was even more disdainful, saying to Ji Chu, "If you didn't have such a face, you wouldn't even be able to enter Guangxuan Peak. Now you've climbed up the main peak to learn swordsmanship, but you accidentally hurt your sword-wielding hand and now you're back at Guangxuan Peak to try to scam people. It's really ridiculous."
Xu Ying got angry at that time, drew her sword and started fighting with Kong Huiduan, and Jiang Chengxu also joined the battle.
Ji Chu's right hand was in so much pain that it shook whenever he held the sword, but he didn't want to implicate the other two by causing them to be penalized or deducted points because of her at this critical juncture, so he held up his right hand and tried to stop the fight.
Kong Huiduan was a Dharma cultivator. When he met a "mixed doubles" like Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu, he was naturally at a disadvantage. In desperation, he shouted:
"When Fairy Yaoyue returns, we'll see how Ji Chu will still be able to stay in the sect! The two of you are fighting with your fellow disciples for a substitute. Sooner or later, you will end up in a tragic death!"
Fairy Yaoyue is Xue Wanning.
These words directly hit Ji Chu's sore spot.
What worried her in her previous life was nothing more than her identity as a "stand-in" and the tragic deaths of Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu.
It is really intolerable that Kong Huiduan could hurt her twice with just one sentence!
He immediately stopped fighting and ignored his injuries, and rushed forward with a sword.
It doesn't matter if your wrist is injured and you can't swing the sword, just use the scabbard to hit the hilt hammer, I guarantee that Kong Huiduan can protect his head but not his hands.
A lively four-person melee.
In the end, all four of them were badly beaten, and Ji Chu's right hand was bruised even more severely. They were all taken to the Zhilu Hall.
They also knew that it would be embarrassing if this matter became a big deal, and it might even delay the Immortal Questioning Conference.
Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the law hall, they all admitted their mistakes and never mentioned "asking the teacher to uphold justice."
The matter came to an end when Guangxuan Peak produced some elixirs and Ji Chu considered himself unlucky.
Although Ji Chu was angry, he was more afraid of delaying the Immortal Questioning Conference.
She knew very well that her foundation was not solid enough and she could not slack off at all, so she changed into a dress with very long sleeves, hid the fact that her right hand was injured, and went to practice sword fighting with her senior brother as usual.
But Meng Yuci was such a perceptive person that he could tell something was wrong just by looking at the way she held the sword. He pulled her wrist and lifted her sleeve to see a big bruise.
He pulled Ji Chu's wrist and looked at her face:
"What's going on?"
Ji Chu avoided the main point and said:
"I got hurt accidentally... Don't worry, Senior Brother, it won't interfere with my sword practice..."
As she said this, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but Meng Yuci's five fingers that were holding her wrist exerted a little force, and she couldn't pull it away.
The elder brother's voice was a little cold:
"Why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
Ji Chu still wanted to laugh it off:
"I just don't think it's serious. The Immortal Questioning Conference is coming up soon, and I don't want to waste time..."
Under the cold gaze of his senior brother, Ji Chu's voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, he had no confidence left and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Meng Yuci was very angry at her appearance, and pinched her wrist and scolded her:
"Your wrist was clearly injured twice. Was the second time also accidental?"
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Ji Chu had no choice but to tell the whole story. When he mentioned what Kong Huiduan had said, his face was still filled with indignation:
"What right did he have to curse my friend? His hand was injured today, but tomorrow when it heals, I'm going to knock all his teeth out!"
Meng Yuci glanced at her and said calmly:
"More?"
Ji Chu pouted and stopped talking.
Meng Yuci inexplicably thought in his mind that if he had not come out in time to find Ji Chu, would she have remained like this, hiding herself after being injured, licking her wounds like a lonely little animal, silently calculating when she could bite back.
It's not blame, it's just heartache.
He fell silent, not knowing what to say.
He was afraid that his tone was too harsh and that she would get hurt and have to come back to suffer injustice.
She was also afraid that she had neglected to discover it in time. Today's injury was just a minor one. If something life-threatening happened in the future, she would keep it a secret and not ask him for help.
For a moment, he was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do with her.
