Chapter 286 286 You are Gouchen?

Master said that when he adopted the second senior brother, he wanted to hand over Jingshan Temple to him because he could see that the Lin family would not give up the eldest senior brother, Lin Hua. Even if the eldest senior brother wanted to stay, the Lin family would not allow it. The result of their insistence was that Jingshan Temple was gradually devoured by the Lin family and became part of the Lin family: the eldest senior brother was too soft-hearted.

Therefore, with the heir determined, the master took care of his second senior brother in every way, strictly demanding of him, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he raised him as his own son.

However, although the second disciple was clever, he was also a bit too clever and prone to overthinking. He had some interactions with people online, and one day, this teenage boy enthusiastically told his master that it would be a wonderful world if there were no lazy, stupid, or foolish people. This statement greatly shocked the master. He thought that since his second disciple had been exposed to Buddhism from a young age, the principle of equality for all beings was deeply ingrained in him, and he would never have such extreme thoughts. That's why he never stopped his son from going online or even traveling abroad to meet all sorts of people. He never expected…

He immediately canceled all his plans at the temple and stayed by his second senior brother Zhu Jinxian's side day and night, trying to change his mind, but little did he know it was already too late. For a while afterward, the second senior brother appeared obedient, as if what he had said before was just a joke, but ten years later, the second senior brother suddenly disappeared, and did not reappear until ten years later.

Even at that time, Master Yuantong still regarded him as the successor of Jingshan Temple.

But after the two talked all night one day, Zhu Jin left first. Since then, Master Yuantong has refused to see him again and has never mentioned the matter of successor of Jingshan Temple.

Later, it was the fourth senior brother's parents who took him up the mountain to become a disciple. Out of respect for the Zhao family, the master thought that he would just teach him a set of exercises to strengthen his body and at most give him the title of an outer disciple. But everything changed when he saw that girl. The master said that the fourth senior brother was exceptionally talented and took him in as his last disciple.

Fourth Senior Brother's martial arts talent was indeed remarkable, but he knew that Master had changed his mind after seeing that little girl. Afterwards, the girl's martial arts talent was truly astonishing, surpassing even Second Senior Brother's. However, he couldn't understand why Master, who liked her so much, didn't accept her as a personal disciple. With Third Senior Sister as a precedent, it wasn't that the temple couldn't accept lay female disciples.

Later, when the disaster struck, that afternoon, the master suddenly smiled and said, "She's back." From that day on, the master, who had always been in good health, began to deteriorate day by day until he could no longer hold on. He recorded a video, left behind a ring, and asked the master to extend an invitation to all his direct disciples.

When Master's health suddenly collapsed, he said that only Junior Sister could stop Second Senior Brother. At the time, he didn't believe it, thinking that Master was just getting senile. Now, it seems that it was indeed true.

Now it seems he understands why his master refused to accept his junior sister as a personal disciple. If she were a personal disciple, as the successor of Jingshan Temple, she would have to stay in Jingshan Temple. If she didn't stay, she would be violating the ancestral teachings and would inevitably be criticized by various forces, especially those who wanted to obtain the resources of Jingshan Temple.

But she wasn't a direct disciple, so no one could say anything to her if she wanted to leave. And the disciples of Jingshan Temple, following their master's last wish, had no problem with it.

This is exploiting a loophole in the system, which can effectively silence public opinion. Moreover, it's the end of the world, so what can people do even if they're not convinced?

Did Master know this day would come all along? Xie Yuan couldn't believe it, yet he felt that everything was so coincidental that he couldn't help but think more about it.

In the lobby at this moment.

Zhu Jinxian and Zhao Lexi were both Level 6 evolved humans and disciples of Master Yuantong. Their martial arts skills were similar, but Zhao Lexi's movements were light and unpredictable, and she had almost no stamina consumption while holding spiritual spring water in one hand and a soft sword in the other. Zhu Jinxian was not initially concerned, as ordinary weapons could not hurt him, but he was actually cut by a single blow and had to be on guard at all times.

"Junior sister, I fought you bare-handed, isn't that unfair of you?"

"Second Brother, you've eaten more than forty years more food and practiced martial arts for more than forty years than me. How can you make up for that gap?"

Zhao Lexi didn't waste any time on internal conflicts. If it weren't for her dear third brother and junior brother Xie Yuan's lack of strength, she wouldn't even mind a three-on-one brawl. She drank spring water, said nothing, and lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body floating towards Zhu Jinxian like a falling leaf, her soft sword aimed straight at his armpit ribs.

Zhu Jinxian frowned slightly, quickly dodged to the right, and at the same time launched a flying kick to the side.

Zhao Lexi suddenly switched the kettle and soft sword in her left and right hands, holding the sword in her left hand, the tip of the sword pointing straight at his fatal pressure point on the sole of his foot.

Zhu Jinxian twisted his waist quickly, dodging the fatal sword strike.

However, he couldn't dodge the fine needle and was hit on an acupoint on his ankle, causing numbness in both legs and collapsing to the ground.

Zhu Jinxian immediately changed his expression, saying sorrowfully, "Junior Sister, I only acted because I couldn't think straight. You know, Master has always disliked me, and in the end, he wouldn't even leave me the ring I'd always wanted. I was so angry that I acted. I wasn't targeting you. You know, every year when I visit Master for the New Year, even if Master won't let me into the house, I never forget to bring you candy. I..."

Zhao Lexi flicked her right hand, sending countless wind needles hurtling towards Zhu Jinxian's 36 vital points.

Zhu Jinxian sighed, "Do we really have to do it this way?"

Zhu Jin threw a transparent bottle to the ground first. Zhao Lexi, who was already prepared, reached out, and countless wind needles transformed into a gentle breeze, carrying the bottle towards her palm: "Second Senior Brother, you and Shi'an..."

Before the words were even finished, the wind went out of control, and the bottle fell to the ground.

Looking down at Zhu Jinxian's feet, there was a pile of broken glass shards.

It turns out that he had secretly broken the real bottle of the drug that suppressed superpowers; the one that Zhao Lexi caught was a fake.

Zhu Jinxian stood up nimbly: "Junior Sister, we are from the same sect, there is no need for us to fight each other. Give me the ring, take your people and leave, I will not stop you."

Zhao Lexi thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure, but Master said that everyone in Jingshan Temple is now mine."

Zhu Jinxian laughed: "Then we have nothing to talk about."

He moved closer to Zhao Lexi, seemingly unaffected by the potion.

Zhao Lexi sighed softly: "Is it impossible to end this without at least one death, Great Emperor Gouchen!"

Zhu Jin was stunned for a moment, but his speed did not decrease at all, and even increased.

Zhao Lexi lightly dodged: "Is the name 'Emperor Gouchen' so shameful? Second Senior Brother, what's in the Longevity Base that makes you so loyal?"

Zhu Jinxian increased his speed.

"Is it a beast that is half-human and half-beast, or a human that is half-beast and half-human?"

Zhao Lexi always managed to dodge his attacks, which made Zhu Jinxian's expression turn serious.
