The third senior brother's face turned terribly dark, and the four of them felt a pang in their hearts, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Shang Lu and the others exchanged glances.
Shang Lu: Fourth brother, what’s going on? Why does third brother look a little unhappy?
Pei Ge: I don’t know!
Tang Feiwan: Fourth Brother, did you get into a fight again and someone came to your door?
Pei Ge: It’s unfair. He has been very well behaved these days and hasn’t been involved in any fights.
Pei Ge: I just called him.
Ji Jinshu entered the group chat.
Ji Jinshu:?
Ji Jinshu: What on earth happened? Why does Third Brother look so gloomy?
Pei Ge: I don’t know!
Pokeweed: +1
Tang Feiwan: +1
Phytolacca: [Raises hand weakly]
Shang Lu: Could it be that Third Brother knew that we secretly went down the mountain?
Ji Jinshu: No way, we’ll just be out for a while.
Xia Qian looked at the people who were exchanging glances and said in a cold tone: "You guys still remember to come back!"
Ji Jinshu exited the group chat!
Tang Feiwan exited the group chat!
Shanglu quit the group chat!
Pei Ge: !!! [Eyes widen]
The third brother is usually okay, looks gentle and very easy to get along with, but when his face gets dark, he is very scary.
In Zhaoyao Peak, the master is not scary, nor are the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister. But the most frightening one is the youngest senior uncle. The third senior brother has learned the true teachings from the youngest senior uncle. Before the youngest senior uncle went down the mountain, he passed on some of his usual formations to the third senior brother. In addition, the third senior brother is also in charge of all the major and minor affairs of the peak gate, and is in charge of the financial power of the peak gate.
The first rule of survival in Zhaoyao Peak is to never mess with the third senior brother. Sometimes, even the junior uncle is not dared to mess with him, because the third senior brother holds the financial power.
The other three were panicking, but Ji Jinshu was the only one who didn't understand the general situation. However, when the man who was always gentle to others turned his face into a dark one, Ji Jinshu was also afraid of this contrast, especially since the third senior brother was one of the few people in the peak in the book who was not attracted to the heroine, and he still had some ideas.
Seeing that no one spoke, there was a silence. The five of them just stood there, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Ji Jinshu smiled awkwardly, breaking the calmness at the moment.
“Hehe~”
"Third Brother, why are you here?"
Xia Qianan sneered, "Oh, I can't be here?"
After finishing his own work, Xia Qianan prepared to go and see how his junior sister was doing in her cultivation, and urged the four people who were going to the secret realm to strengthen their cultivation. Then he would take his junior sister to the dining hall.
Unexpectedly, when Xia Qian arrived at the training ground, he saw only a few disciples cleaning. There were not many people around, and there was no sign of the four junior sisters.
He went forward to ask his junior fellow who was still in the training ground and found out that the four of them had left a while after the training. He thought that the junior sister was hungry and went to the cafeteria, but she was nowhere to be found in the cafeteria.
On the way back, I happened to meet the sect disciple on duty and learned that the four people had slipped out of the sect without even saying goodbye.
Junior brothers and sisters are really something. Junior sister's cultivation is not even at the foundation-building stage, yet she dares to take people out without permission. What if they encounter danger and can't protect them well? I waited at the peak gate for a long time before returning.
Seeing that the three of them seemed a little guilty when they saw him, nothing good must have happened when they left.
Xia Qian'an looked at the other three people with an even colder look in his eyes.
Ji Jinshu was questioned by his third brother, and his body trembled unconsciously. He then smiled and covered it up, saying, "No, third brother, of course you can be here."
"Third Brother, if there's nothing else, let's go back first."
The others quickly agreed.
"Yes, Third Brother, it's okay, we'll go back first."
"Hey, I'm going back to practice my sword."
"Oh yeah, I just figured out how to draw the talisman I didn't know how to draw before. I need to go back and practice."
After saying that, the four of them wanted to slip away quickly, "Stop!", but they were stopped by the voice after taking only a few steps. The four of them looked at each other: It's over!
Several people pushed and shoved, and finally Shanglu was pushed out.
Shang Lu forced a smile: "Hey, Third Brother, what's the matter?"
"Go ahead."
"Confess the truth, be lenient if you confess, and be strict if you resist."
Xia Qian'an's tone was cold and he would not tolerate any resistance.
"Third Brother, we were wrong. I know it was wrong for us to sneak down the mountain. I promise I won't hide it from you next time."
"Is that what I'm talking about?"
"Um?"
"Ah? No...it's not about us going down the mountain, then what else is going on?"
Shang Lu lowered his head and kept glancing at Xia Qian'an, trying to understand the situation from Xia Qian'an's expression.
Seeing this, Tang Feiwan quickly explained: "Third Brother, we just went down the mountain to the market to buy some things. Nothing really happened."
"Junior sister, you say no."
"Yes, Third Brother, I bought a lot of materials for refining black bullets, and I plan to refine an upgraded version of the black bullet!"
"When the time comes, I'll refine it and show it to Third Senior Brother."
Ji Jinshu said this very sincerely.
Xia Qian'an curled his lips, "Oh? Then I'm really looking forward to it!"
The four of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the third senior brother's tone had softened a lot. They were just feeling relieved that nothing had happened and they could finally leave when they heard the third senior brother's voice again.
"Go on." It was like the devil's whispered laughter, making people shudder.
Xia Qianan snorted in his heart. Don’t tell him that there is no such thing. He saw that the clothes of several people were different from when they went out for training in the morning.
The sect does not have a mandatory requirement to wear disciple uniforms every day, but basically, almost all inner and outer disciples wear them as long as they are in the sect.
Only some wealthy disciples don't wear it often. For example, Fifth Junior Sister doesn't often wear disciple uniforms. She wears different clothes every day, so there's nothing unusual about changing clothes.
