With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 753 The Sect Leader's Useless Daughter 27
Before Azhen could speak, Xie Jiuqing continued, "We have gathered eleven kinds of spiritual herbs, and only the last one is missing. I believe that with the Supreme Elder's abilities, it won't take long for the last one to restore Brother Jin to normal."

“Junior Sister, there are some things you should understand. If you are too obsessed, it will not be good for either you or Brother Jin.”

Azhen stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Xie Jiuqing.

"Senior Brother, my parents are still alive. It's none of your business how I live. What I do is none of your concern! It's better to mind your own business as before."

She naturally had no feelings for Jin Congmo, but since Xie Jiuqing had said that, it wouldn't be her style not to retort.

As for Jin Congmo's situation, even if we gather all the elixirs, so what? It's not like we can't cripple him again; there will be plenty of opportunities like that.

Don't they like to cause trouble behind the scenes?

Then she'll help the client return everything!

Xie Jiuqing's expression grew even colder. He clearly hadn't expected Azhen to dare to retort, and he just stared at her coldly.

Azhen was naturally not afraid.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a voice broke the deadlock.

"Brother Xie." Jin Congmo stepped forward, his gaze gently falling on Azhen, his eyes full of concern. Then he said to Xie Jiuqing, "Brother Xie, regardless of whether there is anything between me and Junior Sister Pei, this matter is indeed not your business."

“You’re being too harsh. You’ll scare Junior Sister Pei. She hasn’t done anything wrong. You really shouldn’t treat her like this.”

Xie Jiuqing frowned. What did Jin Congmo mean by this?
Does the other party really have feelings for the junior sister?

Doesn't he know that becoming a Daoist partner with someone as talented as his junior sister would be full of drawbacks?
Jin Congmo showed no intention of looking away from Xie Jiuqing's gaze. Even without being explicitly stated, Xie Jiuqing understood Jin Congmo's thoughts and was utterly perplexed.

However, considering that Jin Congmo has always taken good care of his junior sister, it's not surprising that he had such thoughts.

However, the two of them were simply not a good match.

Given Jin Congmo's talent, it would be better for him to find at least one with a true spiritual root as his Daoist partner.

If he gets too caught up in his feelings, his junior sister's time is only a few hundred years, which might affect her cultivation.

Such things have happened before throughout history. There have been some exceptionally talented cultivators who fell in love with mortals or those with extremely poor talent, and many of them met tragic ends. Some were able to move on, some were forever trapped in their love, and some even became demons in an attempt to prolong the lives of their Daoist partners.

Many years ago, didn't his Silver Moon Sect have just such a person?

He also had some connection with his master. To be precise, this traitor named Yin Kang was once his master's fiancé and also his master's senior brother.

Master has a mutated lightning spiritual root, while Yin Kang has a top-grade water spiritual root. People in the cultivation world say they are a perfect match, like gods and immortals.

Who would have thought that Yin Kang would go on a training expedition and not return for ten years? When he finally returned, everyone assumed that the two would become Daoist partners. However, it turned out that Yin Kang had fallen into the mortal realm and lost his memory, and had already become entangled with a mortal woman. His return this time wasn't to become Daoist partners with his master, but to retrieve a treasure from that mortal woman.

Perhaps they wanted to prolong the other person's life.

Xie Jiuqing only heard some of it. He was too young at the time and had only recently started his apprenticeship. His master would not have said these things in front of him.

As for Yin Kang, many years later, the master found him and killed him. It seemed to be a taboo subject for the master, and no one in the sect dared to discuss it.

Yin Kangben is dead, so there's no point in discussing it further. It would only offend our master, and no one would be so tactless.

Xie Jiuqing stared at Jin Congmo for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm going back to my cave first."

"Personal matters are personal decisions. He's already done more than enough by offering a few words of advice. If Jin Congmo doesn't listen, so be it. Everyone has their own karma. If he interferes too much, it'll only cause trouble." Jin Congmo smiled and said, "Brother Xie, I know you mean well, but everyone's thoughts are different. I wasn't blaming you just now. We're sworn brothers, surely you won't get angry over this?"

"No." Xie Jiuqing's expression softened considerably. "It's just that with the stories of those who came before us, it's inevitable that we'd offer a few more reminders."

The two didn't mind the previous conflict at all, and Xie Jiuqing returned to his cave.

“Junior Sister Pei, were you scared? Brother Xie is just like that, a bit straightforward. His intentions are actually good, so don’t be angry with him.” At this point, Jin Congmo changed the subject, “It’s just that many things can’t be calculated that way.”

“I’m not that timid,” A-Zhen laughed, instantly shattering the atmosphere Jin Congmo had created. “Senior Brother has always had that cold face, I’m used to it. He can’t stand me, and I can’t stand him either.”

Xie Jiuqing hadn't gone far. Now a Nascent Soul cultivator, he heard Azhen's voice clearly, as she made no attempt to conceal it.

A moment of surprise crossed his face, but he quickly recovered.

There are plenty of people in the cultivation world who dislike him, so one junior sister won't make a difference to him.

Jin Congmo frowned slightly, but quickly recovered: "What does Junior Sister Pei want with me?"

"I'm not looking for Senior Brother Jin," Azhen said with a smile. "I'm going to Spirit Beast Peak."

Jin Congmo fell silent. It seemed Pei Zhen was under too much pressure from those around her, and coupled with the fact that he had never given her any hope, she was about to withdraw her feelings for him. Wasn't Xie Jiuqing the same way before?

If he hadn't always been so gentle and patient, he wouldn't have been able to so quickly draw the other person's attention to himself.

Xie Jiuqing, who was in the distance, also heard it and realized that he had misunderstood this time. No wonder he was scolded.

But he didn't offer any explanation. His junior sister already had feelings for Jin Congmo, and if she didn't go looking for him today, she would go looking for him tomorrow.

"I won't say any more to Senior Brother Jin. I'll head to Spirit Beast Peak first," Azhen said.

Whenever they went to a different place, Jin Congmo would accompany them, but Azhen happened to go to the Spirit Beast Peak.

There was a beast there that even the master couldn't afford to offend, so Jin Congmo could only smile and say goodbye. As Azhen rode away on a crane, the smile on his face gradually faded.

Pei Zhen's feelings for him faded.

No, this plan cannot afford to go wrong again.

He had to get Pei Zhen's attention back to him; he couldn't let things lukewarm. He needed to find an opportunity to express his feelings.

What Azhen didn't know was that after she went to the Spirit Beast Peak, Jin Congmo and people who knew her inquired about her preferences, and then she and Jin Congshuang went down the mountain to the market.

The news spread quickly, and many disciples learned that Jin Congmo seemed to be treating Pei Zhen differently.

Azhen was eating grilled fish and praised it as delicious when she heard Yanzui's system announcement that he had gained 100,000 experience points. Both of them were in a good mood.

Just then, a bird landed on her shoulder.

"Master, many disciples in the sect are saying that Jin Congmo has designs on you."

"I heard he has already gone to the market at the foot of the mountain, it seems he wants to buy something you like."

Even Yan Zui, who was still fishing, was surprised. What was Jin Congmo trying to do?
He didn't like the two siblings, so he simply kicked them out and didn't pay them any more attention.
