Chapter 80 The elder sister must have been forced, and the siblings finally reunited
Outside Anyang City, Zixia Temple.
The side hall was filled with the smell of incense.
An old Taoist in purple robe with ruddy complexion was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. He had a childlike face, white hair and peaceful eyes, just like a Taoist master, giving people a sense of immortality.
"Master, this is really none of our business. You know, there are many deep valleys on Zixia Mountain. Junior Brother Chu Yun was not in his right mind before, so it is normal for him to lose his footing and fall off the cliff."
"How could we possibly harm Junior Brother Chu Yun for no reason..."
"He was just a fool before, who would go out of their way to harm him?"
In front of the purple-robed Taoist priest, several Taoist priests in Taoist robes and Taoist buns looked uneasy.
One of them argued with reason and spoke quite reasonably. It was the Taoist named Fei Luo.
The rest of the disciples all lowered their heads and stood with their hands down, not daring to say much. Their cultivation strength was far inferior to that of Senior Brother Fei Luo, so naturally, they did not dare to say a word at this time.
At the side, a young man with a fair complexion and a cleanly washed Taoist robe also stood with his hands hanging down. He did not speak or respond, as if what happened had nothing to do with him.
The old Taoist in purple robe is the abbot of Zixia Temple, and calls himself Taoist Zixia.
His expression was calm, and he seemed to know everything about his disciples' actions.
"Chu Yun's sister has been sending him spirit stones and elixirs for many years. You have been coveting those spirit stones for a long time. Do you really think that your master knows nothing?"
"Before, I could have pretended not to know and turned a blind eye, but now Chu Yun has had an adventure and things are different now. If you continue to bully him as usual, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between master and apprentice."
Taoist Zixia spoke calmly, his eyes falling on the disciple named Feiluo, as if with a warning.
When he woke up from his retreat, he had already discovered that Chu Yun was missing. He did not ask about it proactively, and none of the disciples talked much about it, as if they had forgotten about it.
Originally, Taoist Zixia didn't care. He accepted Chu Yun as his disciple because he was a descendant of the Chu family.
My ancestors had a lot of connections with True Lord Zixia, and I was wondering if I could get any clues from him.
But after so many years, Chu Yun still looks stupid.
Even his talent for cultivation was average. He made no progress after being taught the Qi-nourishing technique, so he didn't bother with it.
However, Chu Yun's elder sister was quite talented and was able to join a large sect like the Yao Chi Sect. Every year, she would send a lot of spirit stones and elixirs to support Chu Yun's practice.
Therefore, for his sake of face, he asked several disciples to take good care of Chu Yun, but who would have thought that they did not take his words to heart at all.
Of course, after discovering that Chu Yun was missing, he never went to look for him. After all, the dead Chu Yun was far less important than these disciples whom he had personally taught.
When True Lord Zixia's cave is revealed later, all of his disciples will be put to use.
But who would have thought that a few days later, Chu Yun actually found it himself. Although his body was covered in blood and mud, he also brought a green ox that he had found from somewhere unknown.
The most bizarre thing is that Chu Yun’s brain problem seems to have been cured. He said frankly that he could not remember what happened that night.
Maybe he went into the mountains that night and wanted to pick a rare flower, but he accidentally stepped on empty air, fell into the ravine, and fainted.
When he woke up, he found that his mind had become much clearer.
Looking back, I guess that I might have eaten the strange flower subconsciously while I was unconscious.
His brain problems were cured by that strange flower.
This answer made all the Taoists in Zixia Temple marvel at it.
Fei Luo and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the idiot's brain had become much smarter, he had lost his memory of that period and had no idea that he was thrown off the cliff by several people.
But it’s better this way. He doesn’t remember that incident, and it saves them a lot of trouble.
Only Taoist Zixia seemed to be thinking about something, but he did not point it out.
As for the blue cow, he had personally examined it and found it to be very ordinary, without even a bit of spirituality. It was just an ordinary blue cow raised by farmers for farming.
"Fei Luo, as your senior brother, failed to take good care of me. I punish you to go to the back mountain to reflect on your mistakes for seven days. You can only leave after seven days." Taoist Zixia spoke, glanced at Fei Luo, and said lightly.
Fei Luo was stunned for a moment, then he understood what his master meant. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.
Chu Yun, who had been in the hall from beginning to end, watched this scene and sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
His explanation could deceive his other fellow disciples, but it could not deceive Taoist Master Zixia.
So Taoist Zixia's words seemed to be defending herself, but in fact they were warning Fei Luo.
However, Chu Yun didn't care. There was no good person in Zixia Temple. Since he had already decided to take revenge in the future, he would naturally not let anyone go.
Uncle Fu, who had taken care of him since he was a child, was killed by these fellow disciples. As his master, Taoist Zixia never disciplined or punished these disciples and let them do whatever they wanted.
"Chu Yun, since you have awakened, your master will teach you the Zixia Qi-nourishing Technique of Zixia Temple. When you break through the tenth level, I will teach you the next technique..." Taoist Zixia looked at Chu Yun with a calm gaze.
Chu Yun immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Master."
"Come forward." Taoist Zixia gestured with his hand.
Chu Yun's heart trembled, and he practiced the breath-concealing technique taught by Da Huang, walked over, and allowed Taoist Zixia's palm to fall on his forehead.
He felt a cool and silent breath wandering around his body, and finally seemed to stay for a moment at his dantian before slowly withdrawing away.
This old guy really has bad intentions. He is so cautious and even tried to find out if he has practiced any other skills.
Taoist Zixia nodded with some satisfaction, and then passed an obscure formula into Chu Yun's mind.
After doing all this, Taoist Zixia flicked his sleeves and disappeared from the side hall.
Chu Yun strode out without paying any attention to the other fellow disciples who were looking at him with complicated but malicious expressions.
But before he took a few steps, a boy came running over and shouted, "Senior Brother Chu Yun, someone is looking for you outside Zixia Temple..."
"Looking for me?"
Chu Yun was stunned, still a little confused, while the fellow disciples behind him seemed to have thought of something and their expressions changed slightly.
The boy explained, "It was a beautiful woman in a red dress, and she brought a lot of people with her. She said she was a fellow disciple of your sister, Senior Brother Chu Yun, and she came to visit you on her behalf."
"My sister's fellow disciple?"
A look of joy and a smile suddenly appeared on Chu Yun's face, and that gentle figure appeared in his mind.
He immediately, led by the boy, strode out of Zixia Temple.
As for the fellow disciples behind him, their expressions were extremely ugly. They all knew that Chu Yun had a sister who had joined the Yao Chi Sect.
The ancient and large sects like the Yao Chi Sect cannot be compared with a small Taoist temple in a remote corner like the Zixia Temple.
"I heard that Chu Chan's brother has a problem with his brain, so it should be okay to fool him."
"Haha, Chu Chan, if you want to fight me, then I will take your brother away first. With him in my hands, I will see how arrogant you can be."
Outside Zixia Temple, a woman in a red dress stood with her hands slightly behind her back, a sneer on her face.
She has an oval face, fair skin, and cinnabar dotted between her eyebrows. She looks somewhat charming, but at this moment she is frosty and cold.
When she thought of Chu Chan's arrogant and domineering attitude in the Yao Chi Sect's headquarters that day, she became furious and murderous.
No matter what, she is the daughter of the Chen family of Beiming.
Chu Chan had no power or influence, but she relied on her good luck to please the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he dared to bully her.
This was something she couldn't bear.
It just so happened that during this period of time, the Chen family of Beiming sent many strong men to Anyang City because of the matter of the cave inherited by True Lord Zixia.
Chen Ning took this opportunity to find the strong men in the clan and come to Zixia Mountain together.
"Miss, he is just a fool. Is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?" A middle-aged man beside Chen Ning asked in confusion.
"Haha, of course it is necessary."
"I heard that the abbot of Zixia Temple is a powerful person who lives in seclusion from the world. I called you along just in case." Chen Ning sneered.
Soon, footsteps were heard inside Zixia Temple, and a fair-complexioned young man, led by the gatekeeper, quickly came over.
Although there was a look of suspicion on his face, it was covered up by joy and a smile.
"I am Chu Yun. I wonder who is my sister's fellow disciple?"
Chu Yun looked at Chen Ning and others, and his gaze finally fell on Chen Ning, and he asked knowingly.
The Yao Chi Sect only accepts female disciples, and there is only one woman in front of them, Chen Ning.
Chen Ning narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that Chu Chan's brother was conscious and didn't look as stupid as she imagined.
She smiled and said softly, "My name is Chen Ning, and I'm your sister's fellow disciple. Because she asked me to do so, I came here to see you and bring you to see her."
Chu Yun was slightly stunned. His sister asked the woman in front of him to bring him to see her?
"Did something happen to my sister? Why doesn't she come here in person?" he asked.
Chen Ning still smiled as she explained, "Your sister is currently in Anyang City, but she is not able to stay here these days. However, due to some issues, she wants to take you over to take care of you..."
"Sister wants to take care of me? But now I will only be a burden to her." Chu Yun was still confused.
Chen Ning paused slightly. This idiot was a little hard to fool.
She smiled and continued to explain, "Your sister was favored by the young master of the Xiangguo Mansion because of her outstanding beauty. She has been accompanying him these days, so naturally she has no time to come and pick you up."
"Now, let alone taking care of you alone, it would be easy for her to take care of the entire Zixia Temple."
As she spoke, a hint of envy appeared on her face. "I have a very good relationship with her in the sect, so she asked me to come over and take care of you. Are you still worried that your sister will harm you?"
"What?"
When Chu Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, then he widened his eyes, and an indescribable depression and pain arose in his heart.
He didn't hear the rest of the words, he just heard that his sister had been accompanying the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion these days.
He just felt his head buzzing and then went blank.
This is impossible. With her sister's personality, how could she do such a thing?
She must have been forced, compelled...
"You're lying to me, aren't you?"
Chu Yun's mouth was dry, and he could not accept it. "How could my sister..."
Chen Ning was a little displeased and said, "What do you mean, kid? Aren't you happy to see your sister living a better life? Let me tell you, he is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your sister has risen to prominence and become a phoenix."
"I accompany the young master of the Xiangguo Mansion every day."
Chu Yun still felt his head buzzing, that gentle figure appeared in his mind, and his hands clenched subconsciously.
"If you don't believe me, then go and tell your sister in person. I'm just helping her and coming here to pick you up." Chen Ning continued.
Chu Yun's expression became dull and his mouth was dry. After a moment, he said in a muffled voice, "Then wait a minute. I'll go bring my partner along..."
Having said this, he turned around and went back to lead his blue ox.
When Chen Ning heard this, his expression changed slightly. He thought he had said something wrong and aroused Chu Yun's suspicion.
“Little brother…”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man next to him immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yun's arm.
Chu Yun was puzzled.
"Chen Ning, what do you want to do?"
At this moment, a slightly cold snort sounded from not far away.
On the quiet path in the bamboo forest, a white jade chariot with cloud patterns carried by several people appeared.
The curtain of the chariot was lifted by a pair of slender hands as white as jade, revealing a flawless jade-like face with a hint of coldness. It was Chu Chan.
"elder sister……"
When Chu Yun saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly. He shook his arm with great force, broke free from the middle-aged man's hand, and retreated backwards.
The middle-aged man was also stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Yun could break free from his grasp.
"Chu Chan..."
Chen Ning didn't expect that Chu Chan would come at this time, just ruining her plan.
However, she still maintained a cold expression and didn't seem to care much.
With the Chen family's experts here, there is no need to worry about Chu Chan attacking her.
“Senior Sister Chen Ning, that’s a good trick. Since you can’t deal with me, you can turn your plans to my brother.” Chu Chan spoke lightly and regained her composure.
In fact, she vaguely guessed that Chen Ning would not accept this and would take revenge on her afterwards, so after selecting suitable maids and subordinates, she did not delay and rushed to Zixia Mountain as soon as possible.
I just happened to see this scene.
This made Chu Chan feel even colder. Although she had already decided to take revenge on Chen Ning in the future, she had never felt such deep hatred and murderous intent.
"Junior Sister Chu Chan, you are joking. I thought you were busy during this period, so I wanted to bring your brother with you so that you two can be reunited."
"Why are you still angry?"
Chen Ning smiled indifferently, and then, without paying any attention to Chu Chan's frosty expression, he waved his hand and left with a group of strong men from the Beiming Chen family. He was very frank and calm, without any embarrassment or shame of having his conspiracy discovered by Chu Chan.
Chu Chan's face was cold, her hands were clenched tightly, and she said nothing.
She knew that her current strength was still too weak, and it was basically impossible for her to deal with Chen Ning and the Chen family behind her.
Unless she can get more love and support from Jiang Lan.
"Master, do we want it?"
A woman next to her spoke with a cold look in her eyes, but was stopped by Chu Chan's wave of her hand.
These maids and subordinates were all carefully selected by her from the Wanling Pavilion. They were capable of great use and each of them had outstanding strength and talent.
In the current situation, it is not worth fighting to the death with Chen Ning. She will have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Chu Yun looked at this scene and felt a little scared. He never expected that Chen Ning was actually his sister's enemy and wanted to use him to threaten his sister.
"elder sister……"
After Chen Ning and others left, he quickly walked over and showed a sincere smile.
Chu Chan showed suspicion. In fact, she had just noticed that her brother seemed to have changed a lot. The expression on his face was not as lively as before, and he seemed very dull.
"It's like this..."
Chu Yun understood the confusion in his sister's heart, and immediately asked Chu Chan to come alone. He found a quiet place and when he saw that there was no one around, he told her everything that had happened some time ago.
Only the story of True Lord Zixia and Qingniu Dahuang was omitted.
After Chu Chan heard this, her heart could not calm down for a long time, but her jade hands were clenched tightly.
"Those fellow disciples of yours are damn despicable. It's a pity that I gave them a lot of spirit stones before, hoping that they would take better care of you."
"That Taoist Zixia is not a good person either. He allowed his disciples to commit crimes. I thought Uncle Fu died of old age, but I didn't expect that he was killed by those disciples..."
Chu Chan's face was cold, and her heart was filled with sadness and helplessness.
Her younger brother used to be not very smart and didn’t even tell her when he was bullied.
But everything is fine now, and the good luck in the world seems to be favoring them.
"Sister will help you avenge these grudges." Chu Chan said softly.
Chu Yun nodded, but seemed to be hesitant to speak. He always felt that his sister now had changed a lot compared to the gentle sister before, and even made him feel a little strange and afraid.
Her sister must have been bullied a lot over the years. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists again.
Chu Chan seemed to know what Chu Yun was thinking at the moment. She found a clean bluestone not far away and sat down casually.
"You must have heard something from Chen Ning just now. Yes, I have given myself to the young master Jiang Lan from the Xiangguo Mansion. I am his woman..."
Although Chu Yun still didn't quite believe it.
But hearing these words so casually from his sister's mouth at this moment still made his face turn slightly pale, and he felt like something was missing in his heart.
He lowered his head and clenched his fists, hating his own powerlessness and weakness.
"Sister, you were forced, right?" His voice was slightly dry and trembling.
Chu Chan shook her head and didn't explain much. She just said, "I am very satisfied with my current life. At least I don't have to run around for various resources like before, I don't have to look at other people's faces, and I don't have to be bullied or looked down upon by others."
"My food, clothing and daily necessities are all things I could not have imagined before. Even when I travel, I have a carriage and maids to escort me."
"Now I can also bring you a better life..."
Chu Yun clenched his fists harder and harder until they turned white.
He raised his face and asked hoarsely, "So you can sacrifice yourself for others for this, and you don't have to care about the cost? You don't have to care? What's the meaning of such a life?"
He did not ask about the last part of the sentence "wanzhuan chenghuan" because he felt that it might hurt his sister's feelings and self-esteem.
Chu Chan had a blank expression on her face. After a long while, she sighed and said, "I can only say that this is the cruelty of the world. I am just an ordinary woman, without a distinguished background, strong talent, or luck, so I can only do my best to use what I have."
"At least from the current situation, my choice is not wrong. The young master likes me very much and treats me very well. I am very grateful to him."
Chu Yun laughed bitterly. He finally knew where the abnormality he had just noticed came from. It turned out that his sister had changed.
"But why don't you think about it a little more and wait a little longer? What if I can change all this in the future?" He was dejected and spoke in a depressed tone, not wanting to see his sister who had "fallen into self-degradation" like this.
Chu Chan sighed, "I don't have the opportunity to choose or consider."
"If you think I'm dirty, I can stop seeing you in the future, but I hope you won't blame me, let alone hate me."
silence.
Chu Yun smiled bitterly, suppressing all the heaviness and discomfort in her heart, and said, "What qualifications do I have to dislike you, my sister? I am alive today because of you. I just feel sad and heartbroken when I think of you doing things against your will."
"In fact, as long as you are happy and living well, that's enough."
The matter is settled, no matter what he says, it cannot be changed.
Chu Chan showed a gratified expression and said, "It seems that Xiaoyun, you have really grown up, and your brain has become smarter."
Chu Yun didn't say anything more on this heavy topic.
He changed the subject and asked, "Sister, why did you come to see me?"
"I want to take you back to Anyang City. I have already redeemed the ancestral home. You will live in the ancestral home from now on. I can provide you with all the resources and skills you need to practice."
"The second thing is the jade pendant that I sent you along with those spirit stones and elixirs last time. Where do you put it now?" Chu Chan said.
Chu Yun was stunned. He didn't expect his sister to mention the jade pendant.
"What's wrong, sister? Do you need that jade pendant?" he asked.
Chu Chan nodded, but did not hide it, and said, "It's mainly because Young Master Jiang needs it, I want to bring it back to him."
Chu Yun asked again, "Did Mr. Jiang ask you to bring the jade pendant to him?"
According to Da Huang, the jade pendant was a token left by his master, Zixia Zhenjun, to the Chu family. With it, they could go to his cave and receive inheritance.
Could it be that Mr. Jiang was being so nice to her sister just because he wanted to get the jade pendant from the Chu family?
Thinking of this, Chu Yun's heart suddenly tightened.
"Not really, it's just that when I was cleaning the ancestral home, I found some records that my Chu family's ancestors had a lot of connections with the recently controversial True Lord Zixia."
“And that jade pendant is most likely the token that True Lord Zixia left for my Chu family.” Chu Chan said.
She trusted Chu Yun very much, so she did not hide such a secret matter and spoke frankly.
When Chu Yun heard this, he was stunned again. Wasn’t it what he had guessed?
However, it is not ruled out that this was the excuse that Mr. Jiang had asked her sister to think of long ago.
