Chapter 15 "Stay away from her." What gives you the right to say that to me...?
Shi Liuying took the sword, paused for a moment, then her eyes shone brighter than ever before. She quickly jumped up, picked up the small peach wood sword her senior brother had given her, and followed in his footsteps.
What you see in the ring is vastly different from what you see up close now.
Those vague movements in memory, whose order had been adjusted due to exchanges with the opponent, gradually became clear at this moment.
At this moment, Shi Liuying felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon, and her heart was filled with boundless clarity.
"This sword technique has strong explosive power, but it is not suitable for prolonged battles. When fighting, you must find the opponent's weakness." Jun Lintian instructed.
“Weaknesses…” Shi Liuying was somewhat confused.
"With a head of bronze, bones of iron, and waist of tofu, whether it is a cultivator or a demon beast, you can try attacking their waist and abdomen."
Beside the light cloud-colored figure followed a smaller version of the crimson-blue figure; even their shadows cast on the ground by the moonlight appeared exceptionally harmonious.
After finishing her swordplay routine, Shi Liuying's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
If Shi Liuying had previously been disheartened by imitating her senior brother's unique sword technique, then Jun Lintian showed her through his actions that she should learn boldly and not be afraid!
"Senior brother, this is a Nanhua cake I made. Thank you for your guidance." Shi Liuying held up the small basket and handed it to Jun Lintian.
Jun Lintian hesitated for a moment, but quickly finished the sentence and retreated before he could resist the drowsiness.
But even this brief close contact made Shi Liuying realize something was wrong.
Shi Liuying twitched her nose and sniffed the air.
"There seems to be a... bloody smell?"
Jun Lintian calmly put his hands behind his back.
Because of the rush, not only did I fail to complete the task as instructed by the system, but I also failed to properly treat the external injuries.
For cultivators, internal injuries need to be treated immediately, while external injuries only cause some pain and are really insignificant.
But the junior sister doesn't seem to think so.
Jun Lintian looked at Shi Liuying with a face full of regret: "I should have discovered it sooner. Senior brother should have gone back to rest properly after being injured."
"...It's hard for me to fall asleep, so I'll pass this sword technique on to you first. This sword technique isn't about wide, sweeping moves; it's all about agility, which is perfect for you. After all, I have many sword techniques at my disposal, but you haven't received any instruction from your master since you started your training. As your fellow disciple, it's my responsibility to take on this responsibility."
Shi Liuying didn't believe the statement "it's hard to fall asleep" at all, after all, Jun Lintian had fallen asleep in front of her the first time they met.
She only felt that her senior brother was a good person, warm-hearted, and responsible. Even though he was very weak, he would automatically shoulder responsibilities that didn't belong to him.
Looking at her senior brother, whose face was slightly pale and who looked very "weak," Shi Liuying's protective instincts surged up.
She looked Jun Lintian up and down: "Where is the injury?"
Jun Lintian looked at Shi Liuying with some helplessness, realizing for the first time that her attractive persistence wasn't all that great.
After thinking for a moment, Jun Lintian stretched out his hand and opened it.
His entire body was exposed, revealing the most insignificant wounds.
Shi Liuying was clearly relieved to see that the wound was not large.
Jun Lintian also breathed a sigh of relief.
"The wound isn't big, but it looks a bit deep, and your palm is swollen. Senior Brother should have treated it immediately," Shi Liuying said with concern.
Jun Lintian: "No problem."
Junior sister has just stepped into the realm of cultivation and has no idea how strong the physique of a powerful cultivator is.
Shi Liuying looked around her small courtyard: "I remember there was..."
"There it is!"
She ran to a corner, squatted down, and started digging in the mud.
Junlintian has a kind of daunting, child-rearing feeling.
You'll never understand why a child's attention is so easily diverted, just like you won't understand why a monkey always loses the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.
Shi Liuying didn't keep her senior brother waiting for long. She returned with a bunch of sparkling flowers, smiling excitedly and happily.
Seeing this perpetually energetic appearance, Jun Lintian couldn't help but smile as well.
Shi Liuying stopped in front of Jun Lintian, then took out the flower in her hand and sprinkled it like salt in cooking, pointing the flower head at Jun Lintian's outstretched hand.
Tiny glimmers of light shimmered in the flowers, falling softly into Jun Lintian's palm.
A subtle fragrance was inhaled into Jun Lintian's lungs with each breath. It was a very faint scent of jasmine.
The burning sensation from the injury doesn't seem so noticeable anymore.
"This is called a lantern flower," Shi Liuying explained.
"I saw it when I climbed Tianji Peak for the third time. It was already dark when I came down the mountain that day, and I saw some small flowers that glowed under some trees."
"I thought it was very interesting, so I picked some and brought them back to plant casually. I didn't expect them to survive. Later, I looked it up and found that it is a common spiritual flower that can be used as medicine. Some injured monsters will automatically seek out lantern flowers, chew them up, and put them on the wound after they are injured."
Jun Lintian felt sleepy the moment Shi Liuying approached.
He felt that it was impolite to suddenly go to sleep, but he also felt that it was impolite to step back and not listen to what his junior sister had to say.
And so he stood there like a tall, straight tree, upright and honest.
It turns out that in the cultivation world, there are spiritual flowers and herbs that look like fireflies.
Jun Lintian thought in a daze.
He has been in the cultivation world for hundreds of years and has never paid attention to such details.
But she discovered it on the third day when she climbed Tianji Peak.
If it weren't for the system relentlessly pushing him to cultivate, he probably would have been able to fully experience this completely different world...
"Alright." Shi Liuying sprinkled all the tiny specks of light from the lantern flowers onto Jun Lintian's wound.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jun Lintian's consciousness completely slipped into a coma.
His self-control always seemed so insignificant in front of Shi Liuying.
During their second meeting, Jun Lintian, having failed to retreat in time, fell asleep again in front of Shi Liuying.
Shi Liuying threw down the flower in her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother!"
She said that the eldest brother was truly weak and unable to take care of himself!
The energetic little girl almost let out a sharp, explosive sound.
She quickly squatted down and patted Jun Lintian's face. The dirt on her hands got onto Jun Lintian's face, and she hurriedly wiped it off with her sleeve.
After all that back and forth, Jun Lintian still slept soundly, with the sky as his blanket and the earth as his mat, completely unsuspecting.
The firefly-like figure was withering away in sorrow.
What should we do?
Last time, when the eldest senior brother fell into a deep sleep, another senior brother in red was there to help him out.
This time, her senior brother was fast asleep, so she was all alone next to him.
Just now, my senior brother selflessly taught her all of his own cultivation techniques.
She couldn't just leave her senior brother sleeping in the courtyard like that; wouldn't that be too heartless?
Shi Liuying frowned and thought for a while, then decisively grabbed Jun Lintian's arm and hoisted it onto her relatively weak shoulder.
"One, two, three, get up! Carry my senior brother to the bed!" Shi Liuying whispered to herself, encouraging herself.
She let her senior brother, who was teaching her, sleep in the bed, while she moved out a futon and cultivated in the courtyard for the night.
That makes sense.
Hidden in the darkness outside the courtyard, looking like a child thief, Chong Cang finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Is this reasonable?!
How can male and female disciples who are not Daoist partners sleep in the same room?
What do you mean by carrying him to bed? What indecent words!
Looking at Shi Liuying's clean and innocent face, Chong Cang blamed all the mistakes on Jun Lintian.
He emerged from the shadows, appearing like a ghost in the blink of an eye, right in front of Shi Liuying.
Shi Liuying was startled, then asked in surprise, "Elder Chongcang, what are you doing here?"
For a moment, Chong Cang's gray pupils faltered, then his expression turned serious and solemn: "...Night patrol."
"Night patrol?"
Chong Cang: "Recently, there have been occasional appearances of beasts within the sect. The sect leader has arranged for the elders to conduct night patrols to protect the safety of the sect's disciples."
Shi Liuying said sincerely, "Then the elder must have worked very hard."
Chong Cang, seemingly unconcerned but actually very concerned, looked behind Shi Liuying and asked, "What are you doing?"
Shi Liuying: "Could I trouble the elder to lend a hand? Senior Brother has fallen into a deep sleep, and I'm afraid I might injure him by myself."
She moved towards her wooden house.
Chong Cang had never done anything so decisively and efficiently before.
He followed each command and action; his aversion to strangers disappeared, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness vanished.
He carried Jun Lintian on his back and strode away from Shi Liuying, saying, "I will take good care of him and send him back to his cave."
Shi Liuying paused for a moment, then said with relief, "Thank you very much, Elder."
She said sincerely, "Although the elder always has a stern face that keeps strangers at bay, he is truly a kind elder who treats all disciples equally and loves them all."
Chong Cang: ...
He said no more and quickly left the disciples' residence.
I'm getting ready to throw this annoying thing off my back.
You can leave it anywhere; he's strong enough to find it himself.
While he's sleeping, throw him far away so he won't bother Shi Liuying.
Now Chongcang has completely become a child thief.
Just as Chong Cang was racking his brains trying to figure out where to get Jun Lintian, a pleasant voice came from behind him: "Elder, where do you intend to take me?"
Chong Cang immediately threw Jun Lintian down.
Jun Lintian flipped over and landed lightly on his feet: "Elder?"
At this point, Jun Lintian had confirmed that Shi Liuying did indeed have a sleep-inducing effect on him.
Just as an insomniac needs sleeping pills, Shi Liuying, for whatever reason, always held a fatal attraction for him.
Chong Cang, dressed in a black robe, with long, silver-gray hair like silk bathed in moonlight, narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly and said bluntly, "Stay away from her."
Jun Lintian, his ponytail tied high, showed no sign of backing down from Chong Cang's sharp edge, and calmly smiled: "I wonder in what capacity the elder speaks to me like this?"
