Chapter 3: Senior Brother Flying Sword, Life and Death Unpredictable
The elder brother in front of him had a stern expression, like the rime that could not be melted in the mountains, and as handsome as pine and cypress, which made people feel cold just by looking at him.
"Why?"
Ruan Wei stopped and did not enter the mountain gate, but held Ruan Ruanzhi and just looked at Xiao Xuantong.
There was a timely silence during the meeting, as Xiao Xuantong wanted to see how he would deal with Ruan Wei's sudden alertness.
Xiao Xuantong frowned and spoke in a softer voice, "Why did you stop? Are you afraid that Penglai will trick you into doing hard labor in the mountains?"
Ruan Wei just smiled when he heard this, but still did nothing.
"They can't reach Penglai. First, they have no thoughts. If a cultivator has no thoughts about this life, they can't reach Penglai. Second, they have too many thoughts. If a cultivator has too many thoughts, they will develop desire and fear. If desire and fear are all around them, they can't reach Penglai either."
Xiao Xuantong glanced at Ruan Ruanzhi, seemed to pause, but still spoke, "Your brother couldn't come up originally, it was you who carried him up."
"Yes, that's why the Immortal Venerable only accepted you."
Chao Jian also nodded and interjected.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Ruozhi understood what was going on. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal Venerable. Please treat Weiwei well. I will then leave the mountain."
Ruan Wei felt a little sad, so he stopped Ruan Ruanzhi and pulled his sleeve to prevent him from leaving.
"elder brother."
She had read the plot and knew that Ruan Ruanzhi would definitely go down the mountain, but what if?
Isn't it a change of plot that the system pulls her in to save the world? Why does Ruan Ruanzhi have to go down the mountain? This is also a plot-changing point.
"Wait."
Xiao Xuantong held his forehead with his hand and forced a faint smile, "Why are you two brothers so impatient? Master didn't ask Master Ruan to leave the mountain now."
"Junior sister was able to climb up to Penglai because she was born with a spiritual body, so her seven orifices are exquisite. Seven orifices are exquisite, without love or fear. This is still no thought. She was able to climb the mountain because you told her to climb the mountain."
Xiao Xuantong stroked the messy hair on his forehead. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Ruan Ruan go down the mountain. As soon as the cultivators of the Ruan family got the news, they had already hidden on the island, waiting for him and his sister to come down the mountain.
Ruan Wei felt her whole body lighten as the whisk flew towards her. When she opened her eyes again, she had already entered the main hall of Penglai. The hall was covered with white walls and the ground was made of emerald green stone bricks. There were eight carved pillars around it with carvings of swimming dragons.
Penglai is so rich!
Ruan Wei was stunned and clicked his tongue.
"Once you enter the main hall, you will be labeled as a disciple of Penglai."
Xiao Xuantong spoke leisurely, and also imitated Chao Jian by waving the non-existent whisk.
Forced sale? Ruan Wei's eyes began to wander again.
Seeing that the nephew of the eldest master was talking in a teasing manner, Chao Jian swung him again, and Xiao Xuantong cried out and rolled forward.
Fortunately, he was agile and managed to stop his momentum after two somersaults, but the front of his embroidered black robe was uncontrollably tangled at his waist.
Big...big windmill?
Ruan Wei's hand couldn't help but reach for the mustard seed bag on Ruan Ruanzhi's waist. Ruan Ruanzhi stopped her without blinking, and signaled her with his eyes not to even think about it.
Ruan Wei withdrew her hand sadly. It was a pity that she couldn't give a reward.
At the Ruan family's house, after watching such a wonderful somersault, they would feel embarrassed not to give something away.
“Ahem—”
Feng Wuya, who had been sitting in the middle of the hall waiting for a long time, couldn't help but cough loudly.
"Brother." "Master."
Chao Jian and Xiao Xuan bowed to Feng Wuya.
"Greetings, Immortal Venerable."
Ruan Ruanzhi pulled Ruan Wei to bow as well.
A burst of spiritual power like a gentle breeze suddenly lifted Ruan Ruanzhi up, but did not lift Ruan Wei, allowing Ruan Wei to bow respectfully to the bottom.
Ruan Wei stood up again and looked at his master.
Feng Wuya was very famous when he was young. In the entire cultivation world, he was one of the top two sword cultivators of his generation, the other one being Cen Linxi, the leader of the Wanjian Sect.
When Penglai disciples reached the Golden Elixir stage, they would leave the island incognito to cultivate their minds. Feng Wuya went to Tongzhou to cultivate his mind. He met Cen Linxi, who had also come down the mountain to train, and the two of them traveled together for a long time.
"Mr. Ruan, I have five calamities in my life, and you are not one of them."
Ruan Wei couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing this. He called the five disciples five disasters, although it was very accurate.
She herself was also one of the victims.
"I know," Ruan Ruanzhi said, straightening his moon-white robe and bowing solemnly to Feng Wuya. "I don't want to become a disciple of Penglai. My father is still in the swamp forest, and no one has recovered his remains. I originally planned to send Weiwei to Penglai for training and then go down the mountain to collect my father's body."
Ruan Wei drooped her eyelashes and was unwilling to speak. She knew Ruan Ruanzhi's plan. She knew that he would not stay in Penglai for her. She knew that Ruan Ruanzhi must return to the Ruan family to settle the cause and effect.
Because she was poisoned by the Ruan family, Ruan Ruanzhi will definitely go back.
Feng Wuya nodded, "Since Ruan Wei has become my disciple, Penglai will drag the poison in her body to Master Ruan."
This is how clever and evil adults speak in a veiled way. Even if children already know what happened, people will still choose to cover up the truth.
After thanking Feng Wuya, Ruan Ruanzhi waved to him when he met him.
"Weiwei," Ruan Ruanzhi looked at his sister, whose hair was tied in two flower buds, and whose hair just touched his chest. His nose twitched a little. "I want to go down the mountain. I want to take Daddy home."
As he spoke, he took off the mustard seed bag from his waist and tied it around Ruan Wei's waist instead.
Ruan Wei raised her head and looked at him. She looked too cold and aloof, and her frowns and smiles were all full of beauty. It seemed that nature had carved such a beautiful face, with thick hair and fair complexion, which was too pretty.
"Golden Core, I will go to the Ruan family to find my brother after I become a Golden Core."
Ruan Weisheng's moonlit eyes were full of stubbornness. She took out a stack of communication talismans from her mustard seed bag and stuffed them into Ruan Ruanzhi's moon-white robe.
"By then, my brother will wear narrow sleeves to welcome me home."
"good."
When he saw the two of them say goodbye, he flicked his whisk and both he and Ruan Ruanzhi disappeared.
[Don't be sad, he can do more without you.]
The system is so dry that it’s hard to tell whether it’s a comfort or an irony.
Ruan Wei replied in her mind, "I just accidentally set a lot of flags for my brother. I feel like my head is full of arrows that will lead to my death."
"Ruan Wei?"
Feng Wuya called her cautiously. This was the first time he took a little girl as his apprentice, and he was a little nervous.
Ruan Wei came back to her senses, and with her hands in her tucked away, she walked to a point three feet in front of Feng Wuya, "Master."
"Hey," Feng Wuya responded, digging out a mustard seed bag from his arms, "Take it and play with it. Keep the ones you like, and if you don't like them, either give them to your senior brother or throw them to the chickens in the back mountain."
Ruan Wei took the mustard seed bag unexpectedly, looked inside, and was immediately dazzled by the bag full of spiritual stones, spiritual artifacts, jewelry, and fairy dresses.
No, Master, give it to me sooner rather than later. My brother left me all his fortune, and I have to carry the communication talisman with me everywhere I go.
"Thank you, Master. I like them all very much. Also, Master, can you give this to my brother? He didn't even take a single spirit stone with him. I'm afraid he'll be penniless and have to rely on his looks to wander back."
Ruan Wei asked, holding up the mustard seed bag.
Feng Wuya raised his eyebrows, "He's still in the back mountain. Let Xuantong go there."
Xiao Xuantong, who was standing by, took the mustard seed bag and said, "Raven."
In an instant, his waist clanged, and a spiritual sword shining with black light floated in front of Xiao Xuantong. He stepped on the sword and flew out of the hall in a flash.
Ruan Wei was about to speak when she heard a loud noise in the distance. She couldn't help but look back and saw a cloud of dust outside the house.
"It's okay, your brother just fell."
Feng Wuya said calmly, "A junior sister has come, and he's excited. He just learned to fly a sword a few days ago, and he wants to show off in front of you."
Oh, my naive and straight senior brother.
