Don't forget it, Dad! Isn't it enough to kneel down for you?

When Chu Jiaojiao saw the injury before, she felt strange.

That was clearly a punishment from heaven, with the force of thunder still remaining on it.

But the senior brother made an excuse to get away with it, so she didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, he actually received punishment from heaven.

But why? What did the eldest brother, such a good person, do to deserve the punishment from heaven?

Chu Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out, and panic surged uncontrollably in her heart.

She suddenly thought of what happened today. The eldest senior brother had never forced her to practice martial arts, but since their reunion, he seemed to take this matter very seriously.

He also said that he couldn't be by his side all the time, so, is the eldest brother preparing for his afterlife?

When Chu Jiaojiao thought of the three words "afterlife", her heart ached.

No, she has to go find the eldest brother to ask clearly.

Chu Jiaojiao wiped her tears, her eyes full of panic, and she hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

When the director saw her come out and was about to speak, he saw Chu Jiaojiao take out a piece of yellow paper and disappear on the spot.

His eyes widened immediately. Where is that person? What the hell!!!

Chu Jiaojiao had the teleportation talisman, but she couldn't remember the way to Zhuangzi. It was not until dawn that she saw the familiar Zhuangzi.

At this time, the lights in the village were on and there were voices calling her name everywhere.

Sheng Jun discovered that she was gone last night.

She was restless in her sleep and kept kicking off the quilt. The temperature on the mountain was low, and Sheng Jun was afraid that she would catch a cold. He originally wanted to cover her with a quilt and tell her that she would not have to practice so hard from tomorrow. However, when he opened the door, he found that she was gone.

Did she leave on her own or was she abducted?

Where could she go at this late hour?

Sheng Jun was so anxious that he forgot everything and searched the whole mountain for her.

Su He advised him not to think too much, Chu Jiaojiao would definitely be fine.

Sheng Jun didn't listen.

He had already lost her once and couldn't lose her again.

Su He was stunned when he saw that his expression was not right, with red veins in his eyes, and there were signs of madness. Just as he was about to wake him up, he suddenly heard a crisp voice.

"Big Brother!"

Sheng Jun suddenly came back to his senses and turned around to see Chu Jiaojiao standing not far away. Although she still looked very thin, she was standing there and smiling at him.

The redness in his eyes faded away in an instant, and the empty space in his heart was filled in an instant.

"Senior Brother." Chu Jiaojiao shouted again, ran towards him, bumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

My fingertips rested on his chest through his clothes. I wanted to ask him if it hurt, but I thought that was nonsense.

She felt depressed and wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

She couldn't imagine how such a brilliant and noble man like the eldest brother could do something that would attract ninety-nine heavenly thunders.

Moreover, he didn't have any evil aura from doing something bad.

How is this going?

Chu Jiaojiao was about to ask him when Sheng Jun hugged her tightly, with such force that she could hardly breathe.

“Cough, cough, cough—” Chu Jiaojiao coughed a few times and raised her hand to push him, “Big Brother, I’m suffocating.”

Hearing this, Sheng Jun came back to his senses, quickly let go of her, touched her head, and made sure that she was really there, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the bag on her body and said with a sullen face, "Why, are you running away from home? Aren't you afraid of not having food to eat when you're out alone? Remember to take my wallet with you next time you leave."

Su He: “…” What a promising future!

Chu Jiaojiao grinned at his words, hugged him tightly, and nudged her little head into his arms, "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving anymore, never again."

No matter what, the eldest brother is doing this for her own good.

She never made trouble again.

She hugged him for a moment and then let go, pulling him towards the kitchen. "I'm starving. Is there anything delicious?"

Seeing her like this, Sheng Jun was also a little amused, "I've always kept it for you."

He's really grown up, he even dares to go on a hunger strike.

It seems that she was really hurt this time.

After a moment's silence, Sheng Jun said, "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I was too impatient. We should have taken it one step at a time. From today on, you should wait until you have mastered your swordsmanship before finding someone to fight you."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, no, I still want to fight that uncle from yesterday. Actual combat is the fastest way to improve."

Sheng Jun thinks so too.

But he looked at Chu Jiaojiao doubtfully, "Are you not afraid of pain?"

Chu Jiaojiao nodded, then shook her head and said seriously: "It hurts now, but it won't hurt in the future. I have to protect my brothers."

No matter what the eldest brother did, she would never let anything happen to him again.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiaojiao clenched her fists and didn't ask what he had done.

I asked him before but he didn't tell me. I think the result will be the same this time.

No matter what he did, she would protect him from now on.

Before that, she needs to become stronger.

Chu Jiaojiao did what she said and seemed like a different person. After dinner, she went to spar with Su He's bodyguard again.

On the first day, she was still beaten so badly that she couldn't fight back.

The next day, she was able to run fast enough to avoid being hit by him.

On the third day, she was able to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a few sneak attacks while running.

On the fourth day, she was already able to exchange ten moves with the bodyguard.

On the fifth day, she could handle fifty moves.

Su He looked at her, also full of surprise.

He knew very well the abilities of his bodyguards. Even top masters might not be able to defeat him.

Although Chu Jiaojiao can't beat him now, she is making rapid progress.

The most remarkable thing is that no matter how many wounds she had, she never cried out in pain. She would apply medicine on herself at the end of each day and go to the bodyguards to spar with her full of fighting spirit the next day.

She seemed to be unaware of the pain and was completely different from the first day.

"What happened to the little girl when she went out that day? Why did she look like a different person when she came back?" He leaned on the side with his arms folded, asking in confusion.

Sheng Jun took a sip of tea and said, "My junior sister has always been such a hardworking person."

"Haha." Su He rolled his eyes. "How dare you say that? When you took her to practice martial arts before, didn't she try every possible way to slack off every day?"

Sheng Jun shook his head, "She was just trying to act coquettishly."

Su He didn't believe it. He knew how lazy a person who didn't want to walk was.

Sheng Jun didn't explain anything. It was enough for him to know what kind of person his junior sister was.

Chu Jiaojiao is indeed not lazy.

She was kidnapped when she was young, and the family she was sold to treated her very badly, throwing all kinds of work at her.

I remember the first time I met her, she was only three years old. She was not even as tall as the stove, but she could already stand on a stool to cook for the whole family.

After the family finishes eating, she washes the dishes and sweeps the floor with a broom that is much bigger than her.

Even though she is so young, she can already do a lot of housework.

Later, she followed her master to learn the skills of Taoism, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, medical skills and formations, and also took courses with her fourth junior apprentice brother. With such intensity, if she was not a diligent person, it would be impossible to learn all of them in a few years.

In fact, if possible, they would rather she be a little lazy.

She has had a very hard life over the past decade.
