Chapter 285 285 She is terrifying

“Jingxing, when we first met, you had just been beaten by your stepmother and were covered in bruises. I took you up the mountain, intending to let you recover and then go back. But I unexpectedly discovered that your martial arts talent was second only to Jinxian, so I took you as my disciple. You are very good. If it weren't for this disaster, I would have liked to save some money to open a martial arts school for you. With the name of Jingshan Temple, your business would not have been too bad.”

"Master!" Zhang Jingxing burst into tears. She had no idea that her master had even made arrangements for her future.

“Eldest brother, you are my first disciple. I took you in because I had a good relationship with your father. Your family is a prominent family, but the relationships are too complicated. He was afraid that you would die halfway, so he entrusted you to me. We have been together the longest. I called you here this time to give you a protective charm.”

Lin Hua was silently shedding tears when she heard her master's words and wondered: What amulet?

"Jinxian, in front of all the fellow disciples, you promise that you won't cause trouble for the boss. Even if he accidentally provokes you, you must let him off this time!"

Everyone froze, turning their gazes to the second senior brother, Zhu Jinxian.

A sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Jinxian's face, which was tinged with a faint sadness: "Master, you're all gone, yet you're still protecting that fool."

Fool? Are you referring to the eldest brother?

The Zhao siblings looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Jingxing bit her lip and remained silent, as if she knew something.

"I promise you."

"Second brother, I adopted you because I wanted to hand over Jingshan Temple to you. But I don't know if it was my fault, your thoughts changed a lot. I tried everything to change you, but to little avail. In the end, I could only send the eldest brother back to the Lin family."

"He was never qualified to be my senior brother," Zhu Jinxian said coldly.

“I can’t change you while I’m alive, and I’m afraid I can’t change you even when I’m dead. Now, Boss, go. Never go back to Jingshan Temple, and never go near Jinxian again. Never appear where he is in this lifetime. Jingxing, send your senior brother down the mountain.”

"Yes, Master." Zhang Jingxing glanced warily at Zhu Jinxian, grabbed the bewildered senior brother's arm, and saw him out.

Xie Yuan pressed the pause button.

Zhu Jin stared intently at Master Yuantong on the screen, not glancing at the two of them.

Master Yuantong's gaze seemed to be fixed on him as well.

Zhao Lexi asked, "Second Senior Brother, why don't you like Eldest Senior Brother?"

Zhu Jinxian slowly spoke: "Lele, don't you think there are too many fools in this world? There's garbage everywhere, and you feel like you're suffocating just by breathing in it. This plague is not a disaster, but a great cleansing. What we need to do is follow the will of heaven, clear away all the garbage, and rebuild a new world for the wise."

Zhao Lexi thought for a moment: "Would a wise person be willing to sweep the streets? Farm? Clean the house?"

"Simple tasks can be handled by robots."

"Has such a robot been developed yet?"

Zhu Jinxian turned his head: "...Not yet."

"Oh." Zhao Lexi gave him a look that said, "You look a little silly too."

Zhu Jin frowned, about to speak, when Zhang Jingxing returned.

Xie Yuan let the video continue.

Master Yuantong continued, "Is there anyone among you who is willing to stay and guard Jingshan Temple? If so, Jingshan Temple is yours."

None of the four people spoke.

Zhao Lexi asked, "Senior sister, aren't you planning to stay either?"

Zhang Jingxing blushed slightly: "I'm married. I don't have the right to stay."

"If not, then Jingxing, go away, stay away from the strife, and live your own life."

Zhang Jingxing was stunned. Xie Yuan walked over, paused the video, and handed her a package, which she took.

Zhu Jinxian moved slightly, but seeing the ring on Xie Yuan's finger, he did not stop him.

Zhang Jingxing was decisive. She knew that her master had made this arrangement for her own good. She had no power or influence, and her strength was not the highest. She had no right to compete. Staying would only cause trouble. She turned around, bowed to everyone, and said to Zhao Lexi, "Lele, I'm also staying at the Benxi base. Come visit me when you have time."

"Okay, goodbye, Third Senior Sister."

The three watched Zhang Jingxing's figure disappear. Zhu Jin glanced at the Zhao siblings first, then looked at the video. He wanted to see what tricks the old man had up his sleeve to restrain him. He couldn't just hand over Jingshan Temple to him for the sake of the siblings!

However, if it weren't absolutely necessary, he would really be reluctant to kill the brother and sister. They weren't as foolish as his eldest brother, nor as stupid as his third brother. If he had biological siblings, he would probably hope that they would grow up to look like this.

Xie Yuan let the video continue.

"It's no surprise that none of you want to stay. This is a secluded place, and staying here means staying away from the center of power. Originally, I was thinking of not informing you and letting Xie Yuan take over as abbot directly. But second brother, you definitely don't want to, right? Xie Yuan is no match for you. He said he's not afraid of you, but he's afraid of not being able to protect the disciples of Jingshan Temple. Indeed, if you want to, he can't protect them."

“That’s the kind of person I am in your heart.” Zhu Jinxian wasn’t angry. He even had a hint of smug satisfaction, thinking, “You really are the one who understands me best, old man.” “That’s right, that’s the kind of person I am.”

“In the past, to protect these disciples, I would have given you the ring directly, letting them live first, and we could deal with the rest later. But now, I don’t have to go against my conscience. I have already found the owner of that ring.”

When Zhu Jinxian realized what Master Yuantong meant, he found that Xie Yuan had not returned to his original spot but had walked to the side of the Zhao siblings. The ring on his hand was now on Zhao Lexi's thumb.

Xie Yuan stood behind the two of them, his face as expressionless as ever.

Zhao Shikang and Zhao Lexi were both a little confused: Did their master call them over for this reason?

Zhu Jinxian gave a soft snort and disappeared from the spot.

Zhao Lexi pushed her brother Zhao Shikang aside, and he and Xie Yuan behind him were immediately pushed against the wall by a gentle force. When the two looked back at the arena, they had already fought countless times. The gray-blue and light purple figures were constantly intertwined, but they could not distinguish each other.

Even Xie Yuan, who had been expressionless the whole time, opened his eyes slightly.

Of the master's four direct disciples, excluding the junior brother who came to become a disciple to save his life, the second senior brother, Zhu Jinxian, has the highest talent in martial arts. The master said that the apocalypse is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a great opportunity for the second senior brother. His strength will eventually be unmatched.

But now, that little girl who is the fourth senior brother's accomplice, who has the status of a direct disciple but not the name of one, is fighting the second senior brother to a draw. This is truly unbelievable.

He knew she was smart and quick to learn, but he never imagined she was this capable.
