Chapter 31 Chapter 31 A true man would never take the Forgetfulness Pill...
Mu Jiulin was almost crying, but You Bihui's tone was firm and merciless.
In full view of everyone, You Bihuai walked straight out of the room without even looking back.
Mu Jiulin was still kneeling and didn't dare to get up from the ground.
Yan Xi Chuang couldn't bear to watch any longer and reached out to pull him. "Get up, You Bihuai, that old stubborn man, doesn't want you, but I do. Come to my Holy Medical Sect, and I'll accept you as my disciple."
Mu Jiulin knelt there motionless, and even Yan Xichuang didn't pull him up.
Jiang Caiyu walked up to Mu Jiulin and said, "You saw it, the leader can't tolerate you."
Mu Jiulin raised his tearful eyes and called "Master", looking like he had been bullied.
Jiang Caiyu looked at him with a stern gaze. "I can only protect you so far. Whether you choose to go to the Holy Medical Sect or the Xuan Sect in the future is entirely up to you. It's your decision."
Jiang Caiyu was actually conflicted at the moment, but he simply brushed aside all emotion. He had taken Mu Jiulin in as his disciple because he was stranded outside, and he felt a sense of obligation to protect him. But now, the situation had changed. He knew Yan Xichuang's character, and knew that those present were just as eager to protect him as he was. And given You Bihui's personality, he would never allow Mu Jiulin to remain in the Yu Jian Sect. Given that, there was no need to force Mu Jiulin to stay in the sect. He was more than just one person who could protect him.
Going to the Holy Medical Sect, Xuan Sect, or even Zen Sect is a good choice for Mu Jiulin.
Jiang Caiyu considered every factor, choosing the simplest approach. The only thing she didn't consider was the relationship between her and Mu Jiulin, whether Mu Jiulin would be reluctant to let go, or whether she, too, would feel a pang of reluctance deep down. But that was Jiang Caiyu.
Mu Jiulin raised his eyes and saw Jiang Caiyu standing with her back to the light. He couldn't see her face clearly, but he felt that she was unusually cold. She made it sound so easy for him to switch to another sect.
But he couldn't blame Jiang Caiyu. He knew what kind of person Jiang Caiyu was. Jiang Caiyu had always been very good to him. Even when Jiang Caiyu said these words, she was considering him.
But he doesn't want to.
Mu Jiulin moved his lips: "Master, can't I stay in the Yu Jian Sect?"
Jiang Caiyu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Mu Jiulin would choose the easy path instead of staying in the Yu Jian Sect.
He thought quickly and gave an answer.
"It's difficult. I advise you not to waste your energy."
The people around him tried to persuade Mu Jiulin again, but he remained on his knees, speechless. There was nothing they could do; no matter how anxious they were, they had to wait for him to figure it out.
The people around him gradually dispersed. Mu Jiulin knelt for a long time but did not see You Bihuai return. He waited until You Bihuai's disciples came back to pack their bags and said, "Master said you don't have to wait any longer. We will leave for the Imperial Sword Sect this afternoon. Junior Brother Mu, no, Mu Jiulin, please don't bother me anymore."
Entanglement? So others saw him as entangled?
Did Senior Brother Ye think so too? Did he think he was pestering them?
A trace of loss flashed in Mu Jiulin's eyes. He stood up shakily. He had been kneeling for too long and his knees had lost feeling. He stood up instinctively and walked out.
Where should he go? It was the same feeling again. The world was so big, but he didn't know where to stay.
Mu Jiulin walked along the corridor and saw a figure waiting for him at the end. He pretended not to see it and was about to walk past.
"Mu Jiulin." Fu Liuguang called him.
Mu Jiulin kept walking.
Fu Liuguang continued, "Master asked me to ask you, don't you want to meet Nanming?"
South Sea.
In the story, the great demon that his parents had to suppress together caused him to be exiled since childhood.
Mu Jiulin clenched his hands tightly.
Fu Liuguang narrowed his eyes and said, "Mu Jiulin, you must be very resentful in your heart. Come to Wu Zong. Master will accept you as his personal disciple and pass on all his life's knowledge to you."
…………
Mu Jiulin's departure from the Yu Jian Sect was part of the plot, and readers have even complained about the protagonist's excessive cheat codes. In order for the protagonist to learn the techniques of different sects, they were forced to change sects one by one.
Ye Nanque also felt that this golden finger was quite outrageous at the time, but when it really came to this point, he didn’t think about whether it was outrageous or not, but... Mu Jiulin still didn’t know what he was about to face next.
The system gave him a blast of firecrackers: [Complete key plot: Demon Spirit. Reader Satisfaction: 7.]
Ye Nanque fell into deep thought.
System: [Don't be so serious. I'm a little uncomfortable with this.]
Ye Nanque said nothing, just kept his head down.
System: […Don’t be like that. Hurry up, show your usual vigor and do some Yangge dancing.]
Ye Nanque: [You talk a lot.]
Provoke? Provoke? Ye Nanque actually complained that others talked too much?
The system is shocked: […No matter who you are, get off my host.]
That afternoon, Ye Nanque and Jiang Caiyu packed up and returned to the Imperial Sword Sect. Mu Jiulin did not show up. Ye Nanque did not see Mu Jiulin again until they left Fancheng.
When he left the city gate, he looked back. Fancheng looked the same as when they came in. The streets were bustling and there were restaurants and teahouses everywhere. But his mood had changed subtly.
Qin Qi and Miao Jue were very happy and kept whispering in his ear: "Without that brat Mu Jiulin, everything has finally returned to normal."
Ye Nanque: "Junior Brother Qin, you are so noisy." Your smile is noisy to my ears.
Qin Qi was stunned and hid aside, biting his handkerchief silently.
Senior Brother Ye would never talk to him like that. It was all Mu Jiulin's fault! He was the one who made Senior Brother Ye feel bad! Mu Jiulin even made him pay two thousand spirit stones. What a jerk!
The first thing Jiang Caiyu did after returning to the Yu Jian Sect was to go to the Discipline Hall to accept her punishment. According to the assessment, Jiang Caiyu was sentenced to face the wall in the Hail Cave for a month.
As the name suggests, the Hailstone Cave is located deep in the mountains, a place where ice particles fall year-round. These ice particles cause extreme pain upon contact with the body, and if left there for too long, they can pierce the skin and embed themselves into the flesh, where they slowly melt, inflicting another round of torture. Worst of all, these hailstones block nearly all magical healing methods. To prevent this damage, the only option is to resort to simple physical means, such as holding an umbrella.
As punishment, the monks who came here were not allowed to use physical means to protect themselves and could only endure endless hailstones. Jiang Caiyu had to stay in this place for a month.
On the day when Jiang Caiyu's punishment ended, Ye Nanque came to pick him up with an umbrella.
He only waited for about a quarter of an hour, and the umbrella was almost penetrated by the hailstones.
Jiang Caiyu slowly walked out from the depths of the hail cave. Her white clothes were soaked in blood, and there seemed to be countless wounds on her body that were oozing blood.
Ye Nanque walked forward, holding an umbrella for him, and called out, "Master, I'm here to pick you up."
Jiang Caiyu nodded.
Many hailstones were already embedded in his body, a shocking sight. Returning to the room, Ye Nanque used tongs to remove the hailstones from Jiang Caiyu's flesh one by one. Looking at Jiang Caiyu's shattered skin and flesh, and listening to the tiny ice particles dropping onto the plate, making a jade-like sound, Ye Nanque felt a dull pain in his body.
As he was taking it, he suddenly heard Jiang Caiyu speak. In a voice without emotion, she asked him, "Zheng Xuanzong, why did you lie?"
This was asking him about his dual spiritual roots.
Ye Nanque admitted his mistake very quickly: "Disciple thought that if I had dual spiritual roots... Master would be happy and the world would look up to me. I was bewildered for a moment... I made a mistake, and I know it."
Jiang Caiyu: "Don't let it happen again. If you lie again, I'll go to the Discipline Hall."
Ye Nanque: "I know I was wrong and I won't make it again."
Jiang Caiyu hummed, and the veins on her forehead twitched. Ye Nanque caught this subtle expression and realized that even if Jiang Caiyu acted as if nothing had happened, it was impossible for her to be completely insensitive, as if she had lost her sense of pain.
He made his movements lighter.
Jiang Caiyu raised her eyelids to look at him. The color of her pupils was much lighter than that of ordinary people, just like him, pale.
"Whether you want me to be happy or to be admired by the world, these are all desires and distractions. If the path of cultivation is affected by desires and distractions, the results will be half as good as twice the effort. I raised you personally and never gave me any worries. Do I need to explain these principles in detail?"
Ye Nanque lowered his head: "Disciple will try his best to restrain himself and put aside all distracting thoughts."
Jiang Caiyu: "You are almost old enough to take the Supreme Forgetfulness Pill. You can go to the Silver Pavilion to get it today. Just say that I asked you to take it in advance. You can take it regularly every month from now on."
Is that the rumor spread by the Medicine Immortal about someone becoming inhumane after taking the Supreme Forgetfulness Pill?! The Yu Jian Sect's setting is also strange. The legal age for marriage is 22, but the Yu Jian Sect's Supreme Forgetfulness Pill requires 21. It feels like they're severing a relationship by cutting off the legal age.
He's only twenty years old, not yet the legal age of twenty-one, so he doesn't want to eat it! Besides, even if he were old enough, he wouldn't eat this stuff!
A real man will never take the forgetfulness pill.
Ye Nanque rarely showed any toughness in front of Jiang Caiyu: "Master, I... don't want to."
Jiang Caiyu: "Why?"
The Supreme Forgetfulness Pill helps people focus on their spiritual practice. Many people have wanted to research the formula of this pill, but he can get it effortlessly, yet he chooses not to use it.
Ye Nanque: "I don't want to be like the elders."
Jiang Caiyu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
Ye Nanque smiled and said, "Master, or Sect Leader, you are exiled immortals who care about the common people of the world, while I just want to be a mortal and practice in a mortal way. It may be slower, but I will also have the fun of a mortal."
Jiang Caiyu was even more confused: "Mortal people's pleasure?"
His disciple Ye Nanque seems to be doing things that he can't understand recently.
Ye Nanque: "Seven emotions and six desires are a burden to Master, but to a disciple, they are something he could not have wished for."
Jiang Caiyu closed her eyes without any emotion: "Ridiculous."
Jiang Caiyu was actually quite cute like this, making people want to tease him. Ye Nanque leaned in and deliberately asked, "Master, how long have you been taking the Forgetfulness Pill? A hundred years, two hundred years? Master, the seven emotions and six desires are not a scourge. Have you forgotten those feelings?"
Jiang Caiyu didn't move: "Get out."
Ye Nanque: [Hehe, he can't argue with me.]
System: [Jiang Caiyu isn't good with words, but he can beat you up.]
Ye Nanque thought about it, then went out obediently with the plate.
