Chapter 18 A Better Future: Junior Brother Lin has nothing to say.
Junior Brother Lin from the Qi Ling Xian Sect opened his mouth to speak, but after looking at his silent senior brother, he hesitated for a few breaths and finally closed his mouth.
No one else had any objections.
By now, most people had seen the clues, but Jiang Qiying and Luo Huaiyin had no objections, and it was difficult for others to say anything. Judging from the bloody battle, it was not necessary for them to get the Tianyan Dao Fruit just for the first gate.
Furthermore, Jiang Zhaoyue himself is quite powerful and ranks among the top geniuses. This is the main reason.
The geniuses from the other major immortal sects communicated for a while and quickly decided on the places for admission to the first few gates, while the remaining ordinary cultivators would enter from the last few gates.
Soon, only the Yunmiao Immortal Sect and the Qiling Immortal Sect remained in place among the seven major immortal sects.
Jiang Zhaoyue was silent for a few breaths. Just as he was about to look towards the Qi Ling Xian Sect, he saw Jiang Qiying and the remaining disciples entering the secret realm directly.
He walked quickly, as if he was being chased, and went through the second door.
The intention is self-evident.
I don’t know if it was because he was keeping his promise or because he was afraid she would refuse, but of the previous doors, only the first one hadn’t been entered.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled helplessly and said to the system in his mind: "Senior Brother Jiang is really hospitable. I won't refuse. It's cute that he's so anxious."
The system muttered in pain, "This shouldn't be the case. How come it's become like this in just a short while?"
"Maybe that's just his nature."
"That's impossible! The people our Pure Love System selects are all very smart and powerful!"
The system defended itself loudly, and it was obvious that its defenses were broken.
Jiang Zhaoyue teased it for a few words, put his mind at ease, and led the disciples of Yunmiao Immortal Sect towards the rock archway.
After entering the secret realm, I saw Luo Huaiyin standing at the edge of the entrance, and the gentle mask on his face was obviously gone.
Perhaps because he had almost lost just now, his tone was very low, and he had changed into a new one from his blood-stained clothes: "Is there anything you want to talk about over there? You took so long to get in. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Jiang Zhaoyue, do you still want to cooperate?"
Seeing that his defense was a little broken, Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care about his tone. He just looked around and asked him, "Where are the people from Qiling Xianzong?"
"Leave."
Luo Huaiyin's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and you're asking me about the Qiling Immortal Sect? They're not on the same side as us, so of course they left. Don't tell me you're still thinking about that bastard Jiang Qiying."
Without waiting for Jiang Zhaoyue's reply, he continued, "Isn't it just a first-class sect? What's so great about that? Can a first-class sect buy you off? If he has the guts to bring up the Tianyan Dao Fruit, I'll consider it a sincere gesture from him."
"Don't say that out of anger." Jiang Zhaoyue's voice was as steady and gentle as ever, and there was even a hint of a smile in the look she gave him.
"If one day I really cooperate with Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Luo, please don't cry secretly."
Luo Huaiyin almost rolled his eyes, but at least he remembered his own personality and managed to stop himself. He just sneered: "With him, you can beat me? Do you think I wasted all these years in the Immortal Sect? If it weren't for the Sect Master's support, I would have been the next Young Sect Master long ago."
What he said is not wrong.
When Jiang Zhaoyue became Lin Bozhou's disciple at the age of fifteen, he was already a renowned genius, and most of the higher-ups in the Yunmiao Immortal Sect were optimistic about him.
Among the disciples of that generation, there were some like Jiang Qiying today who were the best of their time.
It’s a pity that Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly appeared, and then there was Jiang Qiying.
One of them has a treacherous personality, and the other one has no reason to care about the other, which makes him suffer repeated setbacks.
Luo Huaiyin's luck is really bad.
The little bit of compassion she had left took effect. Jiang Zhaoyue looked at him with a gentle gaze, as if she was looking at a cat she once raised, and gently soothed him:
"It's okay. When I become the headmaster, I can also make you the young master. Be happy, brother."
Luo Huaiyin: "..."
His lips moved and he cursed silently.
There is no doubt that Jiang Zhaoyue was born to defeat him.
And that’s not all.
Just as Jiang Zhaoyue finished speaking, Chu Jinhe came over with a well-behaved expression. There was a fierceness hidden in her eyes, but she said in a coquettish tone, "Senior Sister, why didn't you seal Senior Brother Luo with me? I am your favorite junior brother, right?"
Then he was rewarded with a pat on the head by Jiang Zhaoyue.
Luo Huai's brows trembled, and the words he hadn't spoken were stuck in his throat by this picture. Finally, he took the initiative to interrupt the current topic.
Suppressing the nausea in his heart, his tone returned to normal immediately, and he asked calmly, "There are still two days before the Tianyan Dao Fruit matures. Do you plan to explore first or go directly to the Tianyan tree and wait?"
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and replied, "Let's go directly to the Tianyan Tree. Brother, do you need to explore?"
"No need." Luo Huaiyin said lightly: "Then you, me, and your dog, let's go to the Tianyan Tree area first. The others will explore on their own and meet up at the Tianyan Tree in two days."
"good."
…
Tianyan Tree area.
Most of the geniuses from the seven major immortal sects chose to come here directly to wait for the Tianyan Dao Fruit to mature.
So Luo Huaiyin was not surprised to see another bastard.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other, even though he is the only one who has his moods fluctuating.
Because Jiang Qiying didn't even look at this side, she naturally didn't take his hostility seriously.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care this time. He looked around and his gaze lingered in the direction of Qi Ling Xian Zong for a while.
However, Jiang Qiying never looked at her from beginning to end. His gaze was either on his junior fellow student beside him, or on the dense branches and leaves of the Tianyan tree and the Tianyan Dao fruit on the top.
The fellow students around him looked at each other in bewilderment.
Junior Brother Lin, who was closest to him, thought of the Master's instructions and finally couldn't help but remind him, "Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Zhaoyue seems to be looking at you."
Jiang Qiying's eyes paused, then quickly returned to normal. She whispered, "You're wrong. She's just looking at the Tianyan Tree."
Junior Brother Lin: “?”
No, you didn’t even look at her, how do you know she was looking at the Tianyan Tree?
Everyone said that Jiang Zhaoyue loved his senior brother, was infatuated with him and was heartbroken for him, but Junior Brother Lin always felt that something was strange.
Is this how 'bewildered and heartbroken' is used?
The bad premonition from before came to mind again.
Junior Brother Lin asked again tentatively, "Senior Brother, you and Senior Sister Zhaoyue can be considered good friends. If we compete with the people from the Yunmiao Immortal Sect for the Tianyan Dao Fruit later..."
Jiang Qiying didn't hesitate at all.
"If Luo Huaiyin obtains the Tianyan Dao Fruit, fight for it with all your might."
"What if it's Senior Sister Zhaoyue?"
Jiang Qiyin was rarely silent for two breaths.
Then he whispered to Junior Brother Lin: "I promised her that if we meet again, I will stay three feet away."
“Ah…ah?!”
Junior Brother Lin almost didn't react.
If he remembered correctly, the headmaster said 'we will never meet again from now on', which is not the same as 'stand back three feet', right?
Could it be that there is a new agreement regarding the gift of the Wind Spirit Crystal in the evening?
Junior Brother Lin complained in his heart, hesitated for a while, and finally said it out loud:
"Brother, the Sect Leader said that he hopes you can obtain this Tianyan Dao Fruit. You are the most popular person in the Immortal Sect. As long as you obtain this Tianyan Dao Fruit, you will be the successor to the Sect Leader for sure."
"I know." Jiang Qiying's tone was calm, without even the slightest hesitation. He looked at Junior Brother Lin with a calm and clear gaze: "As long as I always rank first, it doesn't matter whether I have the Tianyan Dao Fruit or not."
However, this is very important to Jiang Zhaoyue because Luo Huaiyin is older than her and much stronger than her.
Although she has the support of the headmaster of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect, no enemy will kindly wait for you to grow up.
More senior members of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect are still optimistic about Luo Huaiyin.
Junior Brother Lin hesitated to speak, but finally swallowed his words and changed his words: "Senior Brother, you are comparing yourself to Senior Sister Xiangyue... Actually, in terms of status and talent, you two are a perfect match. If you are interested..."
"No."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Qiying.
Jiang Qiying subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword.
But his tone still seemed very rational: "I may have some feelings for her, but it's far from the extent that she likes me. Junior Brother Lin, unequal feelings will only destroy a person. Junior Sister Jiang is very good, and she deserves a better future."
“…”
Junior Brother Lin had nothing to say.
He knew that no one could change what Jiang Qiying had decided.
But he doesn’t understand. If you don’t like the other person that much, why should you care whether the other person is better?
Senior Sister Jiang deserves a better future, but what about you, Senior Brother? Do you want to give up your future?
No one could answer him.
Because Jiang Zhaoyue had just mentioned that she was looking at him, Jiang Qiying couldn't keep moving his eyes away for fear of meeting her gaze. So he found a suitable place, sat down cross-legged, blocked out all the surrounding sights, and meditated to rest.
On the other side, Jiang Zhaoyue had just withdrawn her gaze, feeling very happy. So she looked at her senior brother Luo who was healing with a smile, not caring at all that the other party had not come out of retreat yet.
"Brother, your injury hasn't healed yet. I think Brother Jiang is almost recovered. Are you more seriously injured than Brother Jiang?"
The author has something to say:

Jiang: She deserves better, not someone as ordinary as me. It’s unfair to her.
