Chapter 26 Second Brother, What Do You Say?
Nan Wang was carried back to the outer gate by Zhan Chenming.
During the time he was unconscious, his realm had already broken through to the eighth level of body refining, and he was constantly striving for the great perfection of body refining.
The Ruoxi bird that Zhu Tianque casually took out from his storage bag was a priceless elixir. Not to mention a whole bird, even a feather would be very useful. It was strange that Nan Wang ate so much of it in a hurry and saw no effect.
However, high-level elixirs are non-reusable. An elixir that is highly effective the first time it is taken may have a reduced effect or even be completely useless the next time it is taken.
For Nanwang, using rare high-level elixirs too early is not a good thing.
His cultivation level cannot be improved by just relying on spiritual medicine.
It has to be an elixir, it has to be an elixir.
And there are large quantities of high-quality and even immortal-grade elixirs.
However, the elder of Dan Sect will not be back in a short time, and among the remaining disciples of Dan Sect, there is only Chu Songping, a top-grade alchemist. If he is unwilling to help, Nan Wang's elixir will be nowhere to be found.
Although Danzong also has alchemy disciples of other levels, refining elixirs is different from refining instruments. If the instrument is not refined successfully, it will at most be useless. But if the elixir is not refined well, not only will it fail to play a positive role after taking it, it may even affect the original cultivation level.
How can I convince the second brother?
Zhan Chenming racked his brains but could not think of a solution.
After sending Nanwang back to the outer sect residence, he went to stay with the disciple who was selected by the Zhen Sect.
Along the way, he was always thinking about his second brother.
Senior Sister had already done the lobbying work and failed. If Senior Sister couldn't persuade him to do something, there was no way he would succeed.
Moreover, Second Senior Brother has a bad temper. The more he forces something, the less success he gets. Using force will definitely not work, but soft words will probably be useless. What Second Senior Brother hates most is trash who has no talent for cultivating immortals but covets immortality.
It is invulnerable to knives and guns, and it cannot be absorbed by anything soft or hard.
Is it possible for Second Brother to change his mind?
Zhan Chenming felt there was no hope.
However, just when the party was over, the senior sister called him out alone.
In addition to instructing him to send Nan Wang back to the outer gate safely, the eldest senior sister also asked him to keep a close eye on Nan Wang after he went to the outer gate, and once he discovered any special circumstances, such as Nan Wang's sudden increase in cultivation, or "accidentally" picking up an elixir, he should call her to come and see the excitement.
When saying these words, the eldest senior sister's tone was sinister and her attitude was arrogant, as if she was certain that the second senior brother would change his mind sooner or later and make the elixir for Nanwang.
Although Zhan Chenming didn't know what kind of tricks the senior sister had, out of trust in her, he still took the job and prepared to stay in the outer sect for a while.
…
Three days later, Nanwang's cultivation successfully reached the great perfection of body refining.
Although Nan Wang was confused about the inexplicable improvement in his cultivation, he was not too entangled in the reasons.
It's a bit like suddenly picking up a lottery ticket that won five million dollars while walking on the street. No matter what happens, just be happy!
It took Nanwang ten years to reach the third level of body refinement, but now, only two months have passed and he has achieved complete perfection.
Who wouldn't be happy about this kind of thing?
The cultivation of Qi Refining is the threshold for Qingyun Sect's disciples to enter the inner sect, but for the outer sect, the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Body Refining is the highest cultivation here.
When Nan Wang first came to the outer sect, he was a "relative" who was not even satisfied with the fifth level of the body refining realm, and no outer sect disciple looked up to him. But not long after that, things changed dramatically.
There are no secrets in the outer sect. When the disciples' cultivation level is improved, they will move to a new residence. Nan Wang's cultivation level was raised from the third level of body training to the great perfection of body training in a short period of time, and his residence was moved from the foot of the mountain to a location near the top of the mountain in one breath.
After the move, Nan Wang's residence became much bigger and the facilities inside the house were much richer. Although it was still not as luxurious as the eldest senior sister's residence in the Sword Sect, it was already the best treatment for being placed in the outer sect.
In the past, Nanwang's house was deserted, but now, many outer disciples pass by his door every day, and some even meditate in front of his house. Every time Nanwang goes out, he has to be extra careful where he steps to avoid accidentally stepping on anyone.
When Nanwang returned to his job as a miscellaneous disciple to look after his few acres of wasteland, he would always run into a few fellow disciples on his way who would come to chat with him with spiritual stones and spiritual medicines.
Nan Wang had never had such an experience before, whether when he was a menial disciple or when he had just entered the outer gate.
He had always thought that cultivating immortals was a lonely thing and that it was normal to have no friends. Now he finally understood that it was because his cultivation was not high enough and he could leave Qingyun Sect and return to the mortal world at any time, so no one paid attention to him. Now that his cultivation was high enough, he naturally attracted like-minded people.
Soon, Nan Wang's heart, which had been silent for a long time, finally came back to life. His social nature was activated again after many years. He began to invite a few outer disciples to meditate and discuss the Dao together every now and then, and to discuss the puzzle games he had recently developed, such as "Dou Dizhu"...
When Nanwang was enjoying a prosperous life, shocking news came from the outside world:
Second Senior Brother is here to give outer sect lessons again!
Nanwang heard about this while he was discussing Taoism and playing cards with two other disciples.
"My eldest brother is in Fazong. His information cannot be wrong. He will be here tomorrow. I hope nothing unexpected will happen this time. Three of us will lead one."
The one who spoke was Luo Xuyou. He had been in the outer sect for a full sixty years and looked like a middle-aged man. He was considered the big brother in the outer sect. He was well-informed and knew everything, but his cultivation was only at the seventh level of body refining and he had not even touched the threshold of body refining perfection.
"Brother Luo is always well-informed. I believe what he says. Sorry, I will pass."
Yuan He, another poker player at the table, said.
"Well done! King bomb! I'm done!"
Nan Wang threw the cards away and said in a domineering manner.
It was Chu Songping who made him lose face last time, and this time he must avenge himself!
Prove your perseverance and strength in front of all the disciples!
The next day, Nan Wang got up before dawn.
He bathed, burned incense, put on new disciple clothes, and walked up the Dragon Stairs in the early morning light.
After changing the residence, it only takes half an incense stick of distance to get from Nanwang to the Disciple Courtyard. It is completely different from the previous situation where one had to start climbing from the foot of the mountain early in the morning and reach the Disciple Courtyard when the sun was already high in the sky.
Because he arrived early, Nanwang grabbed a seat in the second row this time.
Most of the outer disciples around him have reached the great perfection of body refining and are only one step away from Qi refining.
In modern times, that would mean being the top student in the class.
Today, Nanwang has already been integrated into the team of top students in terms of both cultivation and seat.
However, unlike the top students of today who can take the high school entrance examinations and college entrance examinations when the time comes, many of the disciples here who have achieved great perfection in body refining may not be able to break through the threshold of qi refining in their entire lives.
For the true disciples who are rich in resources or have extraordinary talents, refining qi is as simple as eating and drinking water, but for these outer disciples with mediocre qualifications, it is a huge obstacle that they may not be able to break through even after spending ten or even dozens of years.
The common goal of all outer disciples is to break through the Qi refining stage. In order to achieve this goal, they have tried every means and spared no effort. Meditating at the gate of Nanwang is one of the means. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nanwang's cultivation has improved so quickly, there must be a master helping him behind the scenes. If they have more contact with him, maybe it will benefit them, right?
The teachings of Second Senior Brother Chu Songping are like a life-saving straw to these disciples who have had no hope of making a breakthrough for many years. Although they know in their hearts that simply practicing techniques cannot enable them to break through to the Qi Refining stage, the chances of sudden enlightenment in this world are hard to explain, so what if?
What if they suddenly had some inspiration during Chu Songping's class and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop?
Taking a step back, what if I could gain Chu Songping's appreciation and be selected as the Lord of Fazong in advance?
Isn't it easy for Chu Songping to help a disciple break through the Qi Refining stage?
It was just a few pills that leaked out from between his fingers.
…
Accompanied by the sound of the bell, Chu Songping stepped into the disciple courtyard on time.
All the disciples held their breath, stared with wide eyes, and were in disbelief at what they saw.
Today's Chu Songping... is extremely conspicuous.
Chu Songping was usually very conspicuous. He was born with a unique appearance and extraordinary looks. He always stood out among the crowd. Among all the true disciples, the only one who could compare with him was his senior brother Zhu Tianque, who was surrounded by Buddha's light.
But today, Chu Songping's prominence has reached a point that has stunned all the outer disciples present - even if the eldest senior brother was present at the moment, he could not compare with him.
Chu Songping's attire...is different from everyone else present.
If I have to say, as a true disciple, Chu Songping's dress is different from that of the outer disciples.
However, what Chu Songping was wearing was not the clothes of a true disciple.
The scarlet robe was embroidered with gold thread and had a black lining. The collar was wide open, revealing snow-white shoulders and lean, powerful arms. On the shoulder blade was a bright red mark that was as delicate and tempting as a flower bud, trembling with anticipation.
The second brother with heterochromatic pupils had a cold look in his eyes, still the familiar arrogant look, but the hem of his robe was wide open, and his bare feet stepped on the ground. With every step, the infinite scenery loomed...
The disciples were all stunned.
True disciples do whatever they want, and not wearing disciple uniforms is not a big deal in itself, but what Chu Songping did was... too much.
Not only does his attire not conform to the Qingyun Sect's style, it doesn't even look like the attire of a righteous person.
It seems more like, it seems more like those... people from the evil cult?
"I'll go!"
A cry of surprise echoed throughout the disciples' hall.
The disciples looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhan Chenming, who was also stunned by his second senior brother, standing by the wall in the corner.
"Oh my god! When did Third Senior Brother come?"
"Why haven't I seen him?"
"Third Brother's invisibility array is truly amazing. It blends in with the environment and is impossible to detect."
Chu Songping glanced at Zhan Chenming coldly, with no intention of communicating with him.
He calmly sat down in front of the podium, picked up a jade slip, and said, "Today's lesson is still the Qingxin Jue, the fourth one is to examine the heart."
The outer disciples did not dare to whisper to each other in front of Chu Songping. They lowered their heads one by one and pretended to listen to the class seriously.
However, when their heads lowered, their sight also lowered. No matter how much they tried not to look at anything inappropriate, they could not avoid seeing Chu Songping's bare feet on the ground.
The toes were red at the tips, each one was round and smooth, petite and adorable. It was really unexpected that the second senior brother who was always harsh in his words actually had such a pair of beautiful feet...
Several disciples suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in their noses, and when they wiped their noses with their hands, they saw blood all over their hands.
In the Qing Xin Jue lecture hall, the lecturer seduced him to the point of bleeding from the nose... The disciple's self-esteem was shattered after enduring such humiliation, and he rushed out of the disciple hall crying.
Chu Songping didn't mind and continued to teach. The disciples all lowered their heads like quails. A few disciples who felt that their Taoism was unstable simply closed their eyes.
This extraordinary scene made Zhan Chenming frown and smack his lips repeatedly.
Second Brother, this is... going to cause a big uproar.
Zhan Chenming reached into his storage bag, hesitating whether to take out the carrier bird that his senior sister had given him.
Logically speaking, when something like this happens, the senior sister should be asked to take charge of the situation.
But... Zhan Chenming hesitated for a long time and then pulled his hand out of the storage bag.
My hands are empty, and there is no messenger bird.
There had just been a rift between the eldest senior sister and the second senior brother, so there was no guarantee that the eldest senior sister would not take advantage of this incident to settle a personal grudge. In addition, the Sword Sect had a tradition of enjoying the excitement and making trouble. If the eldest senior sister came, the entire Sword Sect would know about the second senior brother's embarrassment.
But, actually… even if the eldest senior sister didn’t come, the second senior brother’s shocking behavior probably couldn’t be concealed.
In a few days, all the disciples in the mountain sect would know that the second senior brother came to teach the outer disciples in a "disheveled" manner.
Considering the identity of the second senior brother as a top-grade alchemist, within half a month, even people from other immortal sects will know about this. The next time someone comes to ask for an elixir, the offering may not be rare treasures, but gorgeous clothes...
Oh, what is going on?
Zhan Chenming had no choice but to raise the quota.
Nan Wang was sitting in the second row, so he naturally saw Chu Songping's entire appearance.
Different from the other disciples who had different thoughts, Nan Wang was calm and even wanted to laugh.
He knew very well why Second Brother did this, after all, he had read the original novel.
Nanwang thought:
[The Second Brother would change into red clothes whenever he had an argument with the elders, trying to challenge the sect rules in such a childish way. In fact, it was just like a child running away from home because his favorite food was not prepared for dinner. His main purpose was to attract the attention of adults.]
Chu Songping, who was giving a lecture, paused. A blush appeared on her jade-white face, and her fingers holding the jade slip made a crackling sound.
Nanwang continued to think:
[However, Qingyun Sect is a famous and upright sect, so it is normal that they have never seen a proud and arrogant kid. Second Senior Brother's personality is still too advanced for an immortal sect.]
Chu Songping was so embarrassed that even her toes curled up, and her whole body turned red like a boiled shrimp.
Nanwang is still outputting:
[Second Brother, this won't do. You need someone to comfort you. Isn't Elder Fazong staying in the sect? Who will go and inform him? ]
Zhan Chenming stood up quietly and tried to leave.
As soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by a strong spiritual energy.
Chu Songping's tentative voice sounded in the distance: "Where are you going, Third Junior Brother?"
Zhan Chenming looked at the door that was broken in front of him and cold sweat broke out on his back.
There are defensive magic circles engraved on the building of the Disciple Hall, but they were able to penetrate it. It's too brutal.
You truly are worthy of being the First Seat of the Dharma Sect.
If this spiritual energy hits his body, even if he has bones of steel, he will have to drink a pot of it.
Zhan Chenming shrank back and said, "I just came to take a look today. Zhen Zong has something else waiting for me..."
Chu Songping said: "Once you enter my classroom, no one is allowed to leave without my permission."
Zhan Chenming did not dare to refute. He turned around and moved back to his original position sideways like a crab.
The disciples looked at Zhan Chenming with sympathy. Although they did not dare to say anything, they all felt sorry for this honest and sincere disciple.
No one noticed that, with the help of Zhan Chenming's tall figure, a carrier bird made of glass quietly flew out of the disciple hall.
Nanwang sighed in his heart:
[Second Brother is so unreasonable and eccentric, which is in stark contrast to me who listens to the class in a disciplined and serious manner. After today, I will definitely change my image of being unlearned and unskilled, work hard to improve myself, and make up for my past shame! ]
After a stick of incense.
Nanwang: zzz
Zhan Chenming: "..."
Chu Songping: "..."
…
Nanwang had a dream.
In his dream, he was flying above the nine heavens.
His body seemed to grow enormous, so enormous that it could fill the entire sky.
There was a vague human figure in front of him. Noticing his scrutinizing gaze, the figure turned his head and gave him a faint smile.
With that smile, he seemed to see the change of the four seasons, winter turning into spring.
Suddenly, the man waved his sleeves and flew forward regardless.
He quickly caught up with her and grabbed the corner of her clothes.
All I could see was red.
Eh? Isn't that person wearing white?
Nan Wang raised his head and met his second senior brother Chu Song’s face, which was distorted from holding his breath.
Nan Wang came back to his senses: "No, it's a misunderstanding, I just had a dream, I dreamed of my former Taoist partner..."
After these words came out, Nan Wang himself was stunned.
What former Taoist partner? He didn’t have a Taoist partner before.
Was this a prophetic dream? Did he dream about his future partner?
But wait, although he couldn't remember the details of the dream, he seemed to remember that the person in the dream was a man.
His future partner... is a man?
"How dare you make excuses!"
Chu Songping settled all the old and new grudges together, and was so angry that his voice trembled:
"This is the end of today's class. Everyone else can leave!"
"You, stay with me!"
Nan Wan: "..."
Damn, I failed to avenge my previous shame.
…
After the other disciples left, only three people were left in the empty disciple hall.
Chu Songping, Nan Wang, and... Zhan Chenming.
Yes, Zhan Chenming also stayed with them.
Facing Chu Songping's murderous gaze, he forced himself to stay.
Zhan Chenming didn't dare to leave Nan Wang alone to Chu Songping. He was afraid that Chu Songping would get angry and stuff Nan Wang into the alchemy furnace to destroy him.
The good news is that Nan Wang's "phenomenon" seems to be only heard by those who are far superior to him in cultivation and whom he admires from the bottom of his heart. Those who were present just now were outer disciples whose cultivation was lower than his, so Chu Songping did not lose face too much and did not have to kill Nan Wang right away.
The bad news is that Chu Songping could do it if he stuffed one person into the alchemy furnace, and it would also be the same if he stuffed two people into the alchemy furnace.
Looking at Chu Songping's gloomy face, Zhan Chenming felt that his worries were not unnecessary at all.
Although there are two of them now, they are not enough in front of Chu Songping.
Among the true disciples, everyone except Du Xueling is no match for Chu Songping.
Even if it was Du Xueling, she would have no chance of winning unless she struck Chu Songping in the throat with a sword before his magic was unleashed. Once Chu Songping started to use his skills, his magic would continuously form a continuous line of fire, and Du Xueling would be helpless.
When it comes to fighting against Chen Ming, his iron bones could hold out for a few moves against other people, but against Chu Songping, he couldn't hold out for even a breath.
Zhan Chenming screamed madly in his heart:
Help! Where are you, Master Sister?
If he doesn't come soon, he won't be able to bear it!
Chu Songping didn't pay much attention to Zhan Chenming. His eyes were always on Nan Wang. Until he saw Nan Wang trembling, he cleared his throat and said reservedly:
"You keep falling asleep in my class. Is my class so boring?"
Nan Wang said nicely: "How could that be? Second Senior Brother has profound insights, and every word he said is like a pearl. I have benefited a lot from this..."
What I was thinking was:
[If you say it's boring, it's really boring. If you say it's not boring, it's really boring. ]
[No, this class is so boring, doesn't Second Brother know this?]
Zhan Chenming: "..."
After making Chu Songping so angry that his face turned red, Nan Wang said seriously, "Actually, I didn't fall asleep during Second Senior Brother's class. I was just listening too attentively and entered a state of 'self-forgetfulness', so I looked like I was asleep."
Chu Songping calmed down and said sarcastically:
"You are lazy in your practice, but you are very eloquent when it comes to making excuses. With your mentality, even if you are lucky enough to break through the Qi Refining stage, it will be difficult for you to make further progress in the future. You can still rely on the Qi Condensation Pill for Qi Refining, but what about the Foundation Building and Golden Pill? Do you have to rely on pills every time? Where can you find such a top-grade alchemist to serve you all year round?"
Zhan Chenming frowned.
Second Brother, what you said is too much.
The path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven, and dangers, hardships and difficulties are the norm.
Second Brother's remarks are indeed a bit condescending and arrogant.
Sure enough, Nan Wang's eyes trembled and his body shook.
Zhan Chenming couldn't bear to see Nanwang being hit like this, so he risked provoking Chu Songping and said, "Second Brother, what you said..."
[Oh my god, Second Senior Brother, I can actually break through the Qi Refining stage. He really trusts me too much! ]
Zhan Chenming: “?”
[Wuwuwu, he's still considering my future. I'm able to cultivate Qi in this life because of the good deeds of my ancestors. How could I dare to think about building a foundation pill? ]
[Second Brother is so nice, arrogance never goes out of style! ]
Zhan Chenming: "..."
Nan Wang collected his thoughts and said in unison: "Junior brother, please remember Second Senior Brother's teachings!"
Seeing Nan Wang's sincere eyes, Chu Songping blushed slightly: "You, you slick-tongued fellow, forget it, today's matter is..."
"Senior brother."
A strange voice suddenly joined the conversation.
The three of them turned around and looked at the person who came, each with a different mood.
Nan Wang was curious, Zhan Chenming was surprised, and Chu Songping was dissatisfied.
——Second Senior Brother ordered all disciples to leave, but there are still people who dare to force their way into the disciple hall?
——Where did this young fool come from? He even dares to disobey Second Senior Brother. Does he think he is Du Xueling?
Zhan Chenming was standing closer to the door, so he was the first to see the person coming.
He is not very old, has the appearance of a teenager, has a dark complexion, and looks simple and honest.
He was wearing the inner sect disciple's uniform. Zhan Chenming was very familiar with the uniform, but the person wearing it looked very strange. Zhan Chenming had never seen him before.
Logically speaking, even if he was a disciple from other branches, Zhan Chenming should have met him once or twice at various conferences, but this person... Zhan Chenming searched through his memory and really had no impression of him.
When Chu Songping saw the person coming, his face changed drastically and he shouted angrily, "Who asked you to leave the sect?"
The man was not afraid of Chu Songping at all, and said in a wronged and coquettish tone: "I saw that Senior Brother had not returned for a long time, and I thought something had happened to him, so I came to find him without permission. I'm sorry, I was just too worried about him..."
Nan Wang’s eyes widened.
What he was looking at was not the man, but the countless... rabbits behind him.
Lots and lots of rabbits.
They followed the man, skipping and bouncing, and followed his steps towards Chu Songping, crossing the threshold together and entering the disciple courtyard, like little elves who had lost their way.
After the elves came in, they didn't jump around, but stayed quietly where they were, staring at the man with their cute big eyes, as if asking for a hug.
Nanwang was so jealous that his teeth ached.
He thought he was gifted to be able to get an Anno, but he never thought someone could seduce so many rabbits!
I've heard of people who are attracted to cats, but I never thought there is a person who is attracted to rabbits!
Too strong, is this person the reincarnation of the rabbit spirit?
A silly rabbit walked a little faster and bumped into Nanwang's feet.
Nan Wangxie smiled and picked up the rabbit that had fallen into the trap, and stuffed a carrot cake that he had brought with him into the rabbit's arms.
Tutu tilted his head to look at Nanwang, then lowered his head in confusion and took a bite of the carrot cake.
The soft and sweet taste in his mouth instantly made Tutu forget his duties and he started to eat it bite by bite. Nanwang took the opportunity to bury his face in his mouth and inhaled several times.
"Hehe, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you eat my carrot cake, you have to give me a belly rub..."
The atmosphere between the man and the rabbit in Nanwang was harmonious, forming a sharp contrast with the others.
After all, Nanwang was not the only one who saw the rabbit, but he was the only one who didn’t know what the rabbit meant to Qingyun Sect.
Zhan Chenming raised his hand to suppress the red-threaded silver gun that suddenly appeared, and looked at Chu Songping silently.
Chu Songping produced a strange-looking magic weapon in his hand and said in a dry tone, "Qingya is an old friend of mine. I will vouch for him."
Zhan Chenming: "You?"
A "you" with a hint of doubt and questioning at the end.
you?
Will you be the guarantor?
What do you have as collateral?
——Was it the disciple uniform that he had worn during his time as an inner sect disciple and that he had secretly put on that person, or was it the pair of eyes of different colors that were obviously not possessed by humans?
To be honest, Zhan Chenming had no intention of alluding to Chu Songping's identity. He was not the kind of person who was sweet-mouthed but treacherous.
But the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
The irregularly shaped instrument was slowly shaped like clay, gradually transforming into the shape of a compass.
Chu Songping was angered.
Although Zhan Chenming knew that he was no match for his opponent, he would never back down when it came to major issues. The red rifle in his hand trembled slightly, as if he was ready for a fierce battle.
The next second——
[What Qingya? Could it be Chu Qingya who died eight hundred years ago and was resurrected by the heroine Bai Fu? ]
Zhan Chenming: "..."
This familiar feeling is the same as it was with my senior brother!
Well, well, good, good karma, no one can escape the fate of the great elder brother!
Zhan Chenming put away his red rifle, calmly folded his arms and began to watch the show.
Chu Songping shuddered, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
What died? Who died?
Chu Qingya...is already dead?
Chu Qingya, who was standing by, didn't notice anything unusual at all and held Chu Songping's arm affectionately.
"Brother, you won't really blame me, okay, okay, I will never go out again, is that okay?"
Chu Songping frantically denied what he had just heard in his heart, but his actions, his eyes, and his expression all betrayed him.
The compass lost its shape and turned back into irregular smoke and sand.
"Hahaha, looks like I came at the right time."
Du Xueling suddenly appeared beside Zhan Chenming at some point, and with her was the Dharma Sect Elder Yan Huai.
Zhan Chenming breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen his backbone, and then said unhappily: "Big Sister, you're too late. Second Brother has already taken out the compass. If you come any later, you'll only be able to collect the body for me."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what do you mean by collecting the bodies or not? It's bad luck!"
Du Xueling slapped Zhan Chenming on the back, and then slapped him several more times without any restraint.
Zhan Chenming just stood there and let her take pictures of him, his body as strong as a rock and as still as a mountain.
Du Xueling explained, "I came late because I went to call for reinforcements. Look who this is, the only elder of our sect! With Elder Yan in charge, I don't think Chu Songping can cause any trouble."
Du Xueling praised Yan Huai in a few words, and then pretended to have just discovered Chu Qingya, and exclaimed to Yan Huai:
"Oh my, why are there so many rabbits? Elder Yan, your Dharma Sect is really interesting. You actually have such a person hidden..."
Yan Huai was already so angry at the scene that he was speechless. Du Xueling's lukewarm response provoked him and he immediately lost his temper:
"Chu Songping, you evil creature! I'm going to beat you to death today!"
"Elder Yan is calm, calm!"
Zhan Chenming was overwhelmed. He held Yan Huai to prevent him from really attacking Chu Songping, and looked at Du Xueling in reproach: "Senior Sister, please say something!"
Du Xueling added fuel to the fire, "You started fighting too late, so you got used to his lawlessness!"
Zhan Chenming: "..."
Nanwang, who has not yet inherited the Daojian Sect's lineage, is not afraid of making trouble. Seeing that the situation is indeed developing in the wrong direction, he quickly speaks up for Chu Songping:
"Elder, please don't get excited. Second Brother is a simple-minded person. He dressed like this on purpose just to attract your attention and get you to coax him. He has no bad intentions."
Until this moment, Nan Wang still didn't know that the reason why Yan Huai was furious was because he saw the rabbit beside Chu Qingya. He thought that Yan Huai was angry because of Chu Songping's disheveled appearance.
Although from a modern perspective, there is nothing wrong with Second Senior Brother's attire, but from the perspective of a cultivator, the wide-open collar of Second Senior Brother may be a little too dissolute.
Especially since the Qingyun Sect is a prestigious and strict sect, it is normal for the elders to not want to see their disciples behave differently.
When Yan Huai heard Nan Wang's words, his burning anger paused for a moment in shock.
He looked at Du Xueling and Zhan Chenming, who were not surprised at all by Nan Wang's words, and then turned to look at Nan Wang: "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm just an outer disciple. I fell asleep in class and was kept after class by Second Senior Brother, hehe."
Nan Wang touched the back of his head foolishly, and now he was willing to admit that he had fallen asleep.
Yan Huai was not stupid, but rather very smart. He had heard Nan Wang's voice before, so he immediately realized what was going on: "It turned out to be you!"
"?"
What is he? Is he famous?
Is it... the famous one who often sleeps in Second Brother's class?
Nan Wang smiled in confusion, but when the elder did not continue speaking, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this moment, Chu Qingya was perhaps a little scared after seeing so many people. He shrank and hid behind Chu Songping, and said pitifully: "Brother, who are they? They look so scary..."
So Nan Wang's gaze naturally fell on Chu Qingya, and a lot of related plots flashed through his mind involuntarily.
[This person is Chu Qingya. He looks honest and ordinary. Who would have thought that he is actually a puppet controlled by Bai Futu? ]
[Back then, Chujia Village suffered from drought for consecutive years, and wanted to burn the second senior brother to death as a sacrifice to the gods. Chu Qingya was beaten to death by the angry villagers in order to save the second senior brother. As a result, the second senior brother's evil spirit went out of control, attracting demons to slaughter the village, but Chu Qingya turned out to be a blessing in disguise and was saved by the elders of Qingyun Sect.]
[The second brother has a special physique and an immature mind, and is unable to bear the unbearable past, so the elders of the Sword Sect work together to seal his memory, helping him to abandon the past and steadily embark on the path of cultivating immortals.]
[After Bai Futu accidentally learned about the life story of the second senior brother, she traded her tail for his life and resurrected Chu Qingya to join the second senior brother. She took advantage of the second senior brother's incomplete memory to tamper with the Qingyun Sect into a group of evildoers who massacred the village, and said that she was a victim who was adopted by the Demon Sect after escaping by chance. This caused the second senior brother to become alienated from the sect, and eventually he was occupied by his inner demons and betrayed the sect and became a demon.]
[Chu Qingya's personality after resurrection is completely different from before. He is completely a puppet controlled by Bai Futu. If the second brother had carefully distinguished, he would have discovered the clues long ago. Unfortunately, he was too deeply wrapped up in the heavy psychological feeling of gratitude and refused to admit the reality, which eventually led to the tragedy.]
When Nan Wang fell into his memories, everyone present, except Chu Qingya, stopped where they were as if a pause button was pressed.
Those who were angry were no longer angry, and those who wanted to persuade him were no longer trying to persuade him. They all pricked up their ears to listen to Nan Wang's voice, not daring to miss a single word.
Chu Songping was as stiff as a stone, his face was blue, red, and white, like an overturned palette.
It was him, his memory was flawed, so he believed Chu Qingya's words without a doubt.
It was also him who, knowing that Chu Qingya's identity was different, still forged an identity for Chu Qingya and kept him in the sect.
Moreover, he was afraid that Chu Qingya would not be able to escape the eyes of the Sect Master, so he specifically instructed Chu Qingya not to step out of the Dharma Sect.
In the end, he was indeed persuaded by Chu Qingya and believed that Qingyun Sect had ulterior motives in adopting him. So he tested Yan Huai while reading books to find a way to unlock the memory seal.
Du Xueling couldn't help but sighed in her heart when she saw Chu Songping's distraught look.
Chu Songping entered the sect at the age of six and was raised by Yan Huai. Yan Huai treated him like his own son. Not only did he never criticize him, but he even spoiled him so much that he had such a cat-disliked-dog temper.
Raised before birth, the gratitude can never be repaid in a hundred lifetimes. Even if Qingyun Sect and Yan Huai do not deserve to be described as a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain, they at least deserve to be described as having never let Chu Songping down.
If Chu Songping had doubts about the seal of his memory, he could just ask the elders about his past. What's the point of secretly conspiring with outsiders?
Chu Qingya has done him a favor, but Yan Huai has not done him any favor?
Qingyun Sect raised him since he was a child. Could it be that they still feel guilty towards him?
Du Xueling turned to look at Yan Huai, with a look of reproach and sympathy in her eyes: "Elder Yan, look at this..."
Yan Huai looked like he had aged ten years, and his back seemed to be hunched.
He looked in the direction of Chu Songping, and met Chu Songping's gaze, which seemed to be asking for help.
Yan Huai waited for two seconds and saw panic, confusion, and fear in Chu Songping's eyes, but no intention of refutation or explanation. The last hope in his heart immediately disappeared.
He looked away in disappointment and said to Du Xueling, "I am a poor disciple and have made a fool of myself. When the other elders return, I will ask the Immortal Master to resign as the inner sect elder."
"ah???"
Nan Wang was the first to scream in surprise.
I didn't expect Elder Yan to be so old-fashioned. He wanted to resign from the position of elder just because he saw Second Senior Brother wearing a shabby outfit.
Isn't this too exaggerated?
Although Du Xueling likes to watch the excitement, but when it comes to the critical moment, she can still distinguish the importance of things: "Elder Yan, you are joking. How can such a small matter..."
Yan Huai interrupted Du Xueling and said, "I have made up my mind."
"Master...?"
Chu Songping finally realized that something bad had happened. His eyes of different colors sparkled and he looked pitiful and helpless, as if he had turned back into the little child that Yan Huai had rescued from purgatory on earth.
Under normal circumstances, seeing him like this, Yan Huai would have softened his heart and let him do as he pleased, but this time, he hardened his heart.
Yan Huai said: "Song Ping, our relationship as master and disciple ends here."
Chu Songping's lips were trembled, but he couldn't utter the word "no".
Under the strong stimulation, the memory seal, which was already somewhat loose, began to crack.
The memory of being treated like an animal as a child began to flood into his mind, and then... he saw a sea of fire.
Someone untied the ropes that bound him and pushed him into the blazing fire, but he himself was pierced through the hands and feet by countless harpoons and remained in the flames forever.
Yeah...how could he forget?
Chu Qingya is dead.
He had lost Chu Qingya a long time ago, and now, he was about to lose even his master.
The master doesn't want him anymore...
Chu Songping's body shook violently twice, and he almost had to hold on to the pillar to stand steadily.
As my mind was shaking, a voice mixed with ridicule rang in my ears:
[It's okay. Elder Yan is a typical person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. In the later part of the original novel, even though the second senior brother betrayed the sect, Elder Yan did not sever ties with the second senior brother. He even fought hard and sent the second senior brother out of the sect. Now he just can't save face in front of everyone and has to speak a little more firmly. The second senior brother just needs to cry and apologize.]
Chu Songping: "..."
Yan Huai: “…”
Du Xueling: "Oh, this won't do. At least..."
Zhan Chenming grabbed Du Xueling and stopped her from speaking.
