Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Brother Meng's bumpy love life
After Xue Wanning finished speaking, Ji Chu's face became even more suspicious.
"I'm not close to Shen Ke."
What does this mean?
Why should I tell her?
Everyone in the world knows that Xue Wanning and Shen Ke are a match made in heaven.
Part of the reason why she was isolated and helpless in her previous life was that she was forced to become a "stand-in" who interfered with their beautiful relationship.
Now that she has distanced herself from Shen Ke in advance and is desperately trying to get herself out of the identity of a "stand-in", Xue Wan Ning comes to her and says, "You are not on good terms with Shen Ke."
What's the reason for this?
Xue Wanning brought up this topic, but did not go into further details. Instead, she circled back to the beginning:
"Junior sister was injured while saving my life, but she only chose the Flying Flowers and Shadows sword technique. I feel bad for her, so I specially brought this item as a gift to her."
As she spoke, she waved her sleeve and a silver guqin appeared in front of Ji Chu.
Ji Chu was not serious about learning the zither before, but he also knew that there are differences between magical instruments and mortal instruments.
The zither in front of him was lustrous in color, and the strings contained spiritual power, so it was obvious at first glance that it was no ordinary instrument.
"This is the Immortal Qin Liuhui."
Xue Wanning explained:
"It was given to me by Immortal Lord Shen in the past. It has been with me for a long time. Junior Sister not only despised the Xue family's magical instruments, but also attacked Lord Tong. I think only this zither can catch Junior Sister's eye."
Ji Chu: “!”
Xue Wanning's magic weapon is the Liuhuiqin, which is also the token of love given to her by Chen Ke.
Why are you suddenly giving it to her?!
And how did she know about her smashing the piano?
Could it be that Shen Ke said that?
Could it be that Xue Wan Ning showed up today to test whether she was interested in Shen Ke?
No, no, she absolutely cannot have anything to do with Shen Ke again!
Ji Chu felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and decisively refused:
"How can I take away what Senior loves? Besides, I can't play the zither at all. Senior is the one who loves and cherishes the zither. Only in your hands can Liu Hui realize its greatest value."
Xue Wan Ning saw that she was trying to avoid him and wanted to turn around and leave, so she didn't force him and just said:
"If Junior Sister doesn't like it, then forget it."
Ji Chu just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Wanning put away her zither and looked into the distance with a look of melancholy:
"Loving and cherishing the zither... what a good reputation... But in fact, I'm not the one who truly excels at it."
She was holding a jade flute in her hand and playing with it casually, sighing:
"The music of the zither and flute flows endlessly, a lamp lights up the autumn. The harmony of these two is truly heavenly music, but I prefer the flute to the zither. The sparse shadows of apricot blossoms, the music continues until dawn."
Ji Churu felt something and asked tentatively:
"Senior, what you mean is..."
Xue Wanning turned around and looked at her, her eyes were gentle and peaceful, completely different from Ji Chu's:
"I shouldn't be telling you this. You look like a simple child, otherwise you wouldn't be so obsessed with Chen Ke..."
She paused and shook her head.
"Never mind, thank you for listening to my complaints, Junior Sister. I wish I had met you earlier."
After saying this incoherent sentence, she left with the piano in her arms.
Ji Chu was confused and stood there watching Xue Wanning leave.
Her back was graceful and elegant, and she had regained her fairy-like appearance, as if she had nothing to do with the woman with a sad face just now.
Although Xue Wanning never said it directly, her words and actions seemed to indicate that she was dissatisfied with Shen Ke.
The gift of the piano was not so much a test as it was an expression of her complete lack of attachment to this relationship.
So weird...
Could it be that Xue Wanning and Shen Ke are not as harmonious as the rumors say?
So why did she tell me all this?
Ji Chu was puzzled.
The rabbit had already run away, so she walked aimlessly on Qingji Peak, holding the seeds of the red spirit fruit.
As she passed by a house, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
I looked up and saw a familiar face leaning out the window.
Zhao Yiyan climbed up to the window and greeted her nonchalantly:
"Junior Sister Ji, long time no see! I saw two similar people from afar and thought you had found a sister."
She had greeted this Senior Brother Zhao several times before because she asked about the golden eyes. She didn't expect that after not seeing him for a long time, he would start saying things she didn't like to hear.
Ji Chu looked at him unkindly:
"Brother Zhao, it's been so long, why are you still locked up?"
After poking each other in the heart, Zhao Yiyan waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
He wondered:
"Why are you so close to Xue Wanning? I thought you two would fight because of Elder Shen."
Ji Chu looked at him with disdain. He immediately pointed in the direction where Xue Wanning left and shook his hand.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister, I will definitely support you."
Ji Chu rolled his eyes.
Zhao Yiyan said seriously:
"Brother, I'm kindly reminding you that the Xue family has been in the cultivation world for so long, there can't be any purely good people among them. Don't be fooled by the cheerfulness of the headmaster and the elders; that's all superficial. But you, Junior Sister, are a fool, so don't let anyone lead you astray."
Ji Chu: “…”
She wanted to thank Brother Zhao for his reminder, but at the same time she didn't know whether she should be angry about the accusation of being "brainless".
Seeing her expression changing, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, patted her shoulder and sighed:
"No way, Junior Sister Ji? You don't think you're very smart, do you? To be honest, you're actually a bit stubborn and reckless..."
He suddenly changed his tone and said:
"...An excellent swordsman."
Ji Chu: “……?”
She turned her head following Zhao Yiyan's gaze and saw her senior brother walking towards her.
She quickly turned her head, pretending not to see it, and pretended to talk to Zhao Yiyan.
Seeing her and Zhao Yiyan chatting by the window, Meng Yuci's gaze paused on her, then turned away and walked straight into the Yanyi Pavilion.
Ji Chu's gaze lingered on her senior brother for a moment, and she heard Zhao Yiyan beside her tapping the window and curiously asked her:
"Did you have a fight with Brother Meng?"
"How did you..."
Ji Chu looked at him in surprise and immediately changed his words:
"How is that possible?!"
Zhao Yiyan tutted, overjoyed:
"Junior Sister Ji, I always thought you were talented. How could you make Senior Brother Meng so angry?"
"I don't!"
Ji Chu was angry:
"From such a long distance away, which eye of yours saw that Senior Brother was mad at me?"
Zhao Yiyan sighed again:
"If there's no one, then there's no one. Why are you so anxious? Besides, Senior Brother Meng always has a cold face. It doesn't matter whether he's angry or not. How do you know he's not angry?"
Ji Chu: “…”
Her voice was a little muffled:
"Okay, you're right, I really don't know anything... But people are so complicated. One moment they're like this, the next they're like that. How can I tell them apart?"
She looked extremely unhappy. Zhao Yiyan looked at her for a moment, as if thinking about something. Then he leaned towards the window and said to her in a friendly manner:
"Don't be so negative, Junior Sister. You just understood it for a moment. Although your eyes and ears can deceive you, your feelings will never lie."
"Whatever you feel, that's what it is. Trust your heart."
Ji Chu blinked and said nothing. When she came to her senses and looked up at the window again, the person who had been lying by the window had disappeared.
Zhao Yiyan's voice came through the wall, still sounding unreliable:
"Think about it carefully, Junior Sister. Figure out who you can trust and who you can't. Don't let yourself be kidnapped by bad guys."
Ji Chu: “…”
She stared at the wall for a while and whispered:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao."
The person inside waved his hand:
"Let's go."
Ji Chu had just left for a while when Meng Yuci came over.
He was even more rude than Ji Chu. A sword energy swept through the window, and the person inside screamed and fell to the ground.
Zhao Yiyan got up, looking innocent:
"Brother Meng, I didn't do anything."
Meng Yuci's expression was cold:
"How is she?"
"she?"
Zhao Yiyan was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that he was asking about Ji Chu, so he said:
"She comes to this mountain every day to feed the rabbits. She seems to be doing nothing. But today Xue Wan Ning came over and said something to her, but I didn't hear it clearly."
Zhao Yiyan said, looking at his expression, and tried to say:
"If Senior Brother Meng is worried, why not ask Junior Sister Ji directly?"
Meng Yuci did not respond to his words, but only asked:
"Why did Ji Chu come to see you for the first time?
Zhao Yiyan didn't expect him to ask this question.
Since he asked, he must already know something, so there is no point in hiding it.
He then said honestly:
"She came to ask me if I had ever seen golden eyes."
After hearing these words, Meng Yuci lowered his eyes and thought to himself, "As expected."
He always felt that Ji Chu's reaction after seeing him from the very beginning was not right.
She has been afraid, hesitant and testing.
At that time, he didn't know the reason and just thought that she had been wronged by Shen Ke, so he didn't dare to trust him.
Now it seems that the problem lies with him.
She knew about the golden eyes before the Immortal Questioning Conference. Perhaps, she had already had an encounter with the Last God.
After parting with Ji Chu that day, he had been thinking about when Ji Chu's empty feather floating flowers appeared.
And what exactly was the situation with Meng Yuci, the person who filled her with resentment in her memory?
He had a vague guess, but no evidence.
If the Last God is involved, things will become even more complicated.
Ji Chu doesn't trust him now. If he keeps pressing and asking questions, it will only push him away.
He couldn't stimulate her anymore.
Meng Yuci was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said "hmm" and motioned Zhao Yiyan to continue.
Zhao Yiyan then continued:
"She just asked me if I had seen golden eyes, as if to confirm their existence. I asked her too, but she flatly denied it, saying she had never seen them, but had only heard of them. But it was obvious she was lying..."
Meng Yuci remained silent, recalling what happened at that time.
Ji Chu made a special trip to avoid others just to find Zhao Yiyan to inquire about the golden eyes.
She must have seen golden eyes.
But when will it be?
Ever since Ji Chu entered the sect, he has been suppressed by Chen Ke and has had few opportunities to go down the mountain.
The only variable was that day on the top of Xuanhe Peak, when Ji Chu broke the barrier with his zither, and then gradually revealed his natural ability to restrain the divine bones.
He didn't speak, and Zhao Yiyan didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.
After a while, Meng Yuci finally spoke:
"I see."
Just as Zhao Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Meng Yuci say to him in a cold voice:
"Ji Chu is pure-minded and treats people with all her heart. But you can't act frivolously and cause her to have thoughts that she shouldn't have."
Zhao Yiyan: "Ah?"
Meng Yuci glanced at the hand that had patted Ji Chu's shoulder.
Zhao Yiyan shuddered suddenly, feeling as if a knife had just cut his arm.
Although he really didn't have any other thoughts, under the threat of Brother Meng's glare, he could only raise his watch to show his loyalty:
"I will never dare to do that again. I will keep my distance from my junior brothers and sisters and will never touch even a hair.
Meng Yuci was finally satisfied and looked away.
After he left, Zhao Yiyan touched his back belatedly and found that he was sweating coldly from fright.
Then he carefully thought about Senior Brother Meng's expression just now, and couldn't help laughing.
How interesting, so interesting!
Even a thousand-year-old iron tree will bloom, and even ten-thousand-year-old ice will melt.
Just looking at Ji Chu's appearance, it seems that Senior Brother Meng's love life is not so smooth.
He felt much more balanced.
As expected, God is always fair. He gave Brother Meng stunning looks and outstanding talent, but he also wanted him to taste the pain of being unable to be loved.
The more Zhao Yiyan thought about it, the more excited he felt. It seemed that the evil thoughts that had led him to the devil in his mind had subsided a lot, and were completely squeezed out by the excitement and excitement of eating a big melon and inadvertently participating in a big melon.

The author has something to say: Because someone used despicable means to seduce others, he is particularly wary of others. [狗头]
Senior Brother: (coldly) This is how I seduced my junior sister. How could I not know you? Touching your shoulder today, you might want to be my Taoist partner tomorrow! (pointing and gesturing)
Zhao Yiyan: ...Heh, man. [dog head]
How can eating melons make people more cheerful and optimistic not be considered a medical miracle?
