After Xiao Lu'er left, Jian Chen glanced at Wei Zhuang, then cupped his hands to the group of outer disciples and said, "Thank you all!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching Jian Chen's dejected figure, all the outer disciples sighed.
To them, Lu Li was a disciple of Guiguzi, and he was also quite easygoing. Over the past year, he had gotten along well with everyone.
They were furious after being assassinated and their lives were in imminent danger, as they were, after all, heirs of the Guigu lineage.
But Xiao Lu'er went a bit too far. Jian Chen was the most senior disciple. Although he was only an outer disciple, he was always regarded as the senior brother in everyone's hearts.
How can we tolerate her wanting to kill Jian Chen without any solid evidence?
Standing not far away, Yue Qi's eyes revealed a glint of light. He never expected that this little deer would actually dare to come and kill Jian Chen!
But after Little Deer's antics, his opportunity has arrived!
Yue Qi secretly went to Jian Chen's room and saw that the door was not closed. After going in, she found Jian Chen bandaging his wounds.
Little Deer's sword strike was truly deadly; it almost broke a bone, and it probably won't heal for at least a year or two.
"Senior Brother! How are you?"
Yue Qi hurriedly stepped forward to fawn over him, while Jian Chen's face turned pale and his expression was also very bad.
"This little deer has gone too far! How dare it act like this! Senior Brother, this cannot be tolerated!"
Yue Qi spoke with righteous indignation, appearing to be determined to seek justice for Jian Chen.
But Jian Chen remained silent; he was quite shocked today.
Over the years, he had been devoted to the way of the sword and had hardly interacted with the outer disciples. But in this moment of crisis, they were able to protect him, which was something Jian Chen had not expected.
“Junior Brother Lu’s fate is unknown, and she is a bit emotional, which I can understand,” Jian Chen said calmly, seemingly not taking the matter to heart.
"Senior Brother! You can't think like that. Little Deer isn't even Master's disciple. He only taught her some martial arts."
"Why does she treat us outer disciples like this?"
Yue Qi became increasingly angry as he spoke, as he already harbored a great deal of resentment towards Lu Li and Xiao Lu'er.
Once Lu Li became his personal disciple, he said nothing more.
Who do you think you are, Little Deer? What gives you the right to live in the inner courtyard? Just because you're Lu Li's sister?
"Why."
Jian Chen sighed, and Yue Qi added fuel to the fire by recounting all the arrogant and domineering things Xiao Lu'er had done since she went to Yunmeng Mountain.
Jian Chen was indeed unaware of these matters; his interactions with Xiao Lu'er were mostly limited to sparring.
"Why did she go to such lengths?" Jian Chen asked in surprise.
He knew that Xiao Lu'er was somewhat aloof, but Yue Qi embellished the story, saying all sorts of things, which even Jian Chen found unbelievable.
"Senior Brother, you know she has always been disrespectful to Master. How can someone like that be worthy of staying in our Yunmeng Mountain?"
Little Deer never called Guiguzi "Master," always referring to him as "Old Ghost." Jian Chen felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, but Guiguzi didn't seem to mind, so he didn't say anything.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Jian Chen asked.
Upon hearing that there was hope, Yue Qi thought for a moment and then shared his thoughts.
"Senior Brother Lu is unconscious, and Master is away, leaving all the affairs of Yunmeng Mountain to the two of us. We can easily drive Little Deer away!"
Jian Chen was silent for a moment before saying, "How easy is it to drive her away? Don't forget, there's still a Cangwu living on the mountain."
Cangwu's combat prowess is now known throughout Yunmeng Mountain; he killed more than twenty assassins with his bare hands.
Even at his peak, Jian Chen was no match for him, and was almost killed by Cang Wu.
Now that Cangwu and Xiaolu'er are together, who in the entire Yunmeng Mountain can be a match for these two?
But Yue Qi sneered, then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Senior Brother, we can pretend to apologize to her to lure her out, then host a banquet for her and drug her with sleeping pills, right?"
Upon hearing Yue Qi's words, Jian Chen's heart skipped a beat.
How ruthless!
He never imagined that Yue Qi, whom he had known for over a decade, would come up with such a despicable trick.
"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Seeing that Jian Chen was having trouble accepting it, Yue Qi quickly said, "Senior Brother, I'll take care of this. I'll definitely avenge you!"
Yue Qi made a solemn promise and then left.
Jian Chen stared silently in the direction Yue Qi had left. He sighed softly and shook his head to himself.
Yue Qi usually behaved in a gentle and refined manner, but he never expected that he would have such a vicious side.
However, he was unwilling to get involved in such matters, and he didn't even bother to offer a single reminder.
In Jian Chen's view, since Yue Qi dared to use despicable means to seek revenge, he would suffer the consequences sooner or later.
He stopped thinking about it, took out a pill and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged and began to heal his injuries.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Yueqi found the little deer.
"Yue Qi? What are you doing here?" Little Deer asked with some disgust.
She had absolutely no liking for Yue Qi; in fact, she loathed him. He was a hypocrite, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back.
“Little Deer, what happened yesterday has made the outer disciples quite dissatisfied. Actually, you have really misunderstood your senior brother.”
Upon hearing Yue Qi's words, Xiao Lu'er immediately flew into a rage, drew her sword from her waist, and held it to Yue Qi's neck.
