Qin Wei was driving, and Sheng Jun was sitting in the back seat holding Chu Jiaojiao.

Jing Mo kept muttering all the way.

"Why do you have to handle such a small matter yourself? Call me. Do you think calling me 'Senior Brother' is for nothing?"

"If I had known this day would come, I would have killed the Chu family long ago."

"I said Chu Xiaoqi was stupid, but you still don't admit it."

He never stopped talking, complaining non-stop, but his eyes were bloodshot from the pain in his heart.

Qin Wei glanced at him and rarely stopped him. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated silently.

What he said was what he wanted to say.

But he also knew that Chu Jiaojiao would not do this if she was not forced to this point.

Sure enough, when they were away, there would always be someone bullying their junior sister.

The car drove all the way to Su He's garden, and Su He was already waiting at the door.

He immediately helped open the car door and wanted to take Chu Jiaojiao, but Sheng Jun didn't let go. He could only lead the way and asked in confusion: "What happened to Jiaojiao? Who bullied her?"

Sheng Jun said succinctly: "It was backfired by the way of heaven."

"What?" Su He looked surprised.

Although he was not a member of the Xuanmen sect, he had a heart that wanted to join the sect and had read many books. He knew that people in their profession would only be punished by heaven if they did something immoral. What kind of immoral things could Chu Jiaojiao do?

Jing Mo was filled with displeasure when talking about this. He said, "It's all because of the Chu family. Why punish Chu Xiaoqi? It was obviously those people from the Chu family who bullied her first, and they still want her to be filial? How can this make sense? This foolish dog of the Heavenly Dao..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish his curse, Sheng Jun stopped him in his tracks, "Can you watch your mouth a little more? Aren't you afraid of having your tongue pulled out?"

Although he was strict, he was rarely so fierce. Jing Mo was also startled and subconsciously touched his tongue. It was still there.

What is there to be afraid of? Who dares to pull out his tongue? Who has the ability to do that?

He wanted to say something, but under the pressure of Sheng Jun's gaze, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of a spirit gathering array. Sheng Jun was holding Chu Jiaojiao and sitting cross-legged in the middle, with a cushion underneath.

In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy swept towards Chu Jiaojiao, rushing into her body and repairing her internal organs.

Chu Jiaojiao's pale face also showed some signs of improvement.

Sheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let Jiaojiao rest here. She will be fine in a few days."

Jing Mo nodded, then looked down at the formation on the ground and asked doubtfully, "Big Brother, did you set up this spirit gathering formation?"

"Ah."

"When did you set it up? It's not easy to set up this formation. How did you set it up in advance? It's as if you knew Chu Xiaoqi would get hurt."

Jing Mo said it casually and didn't take it seriously, but Sheng Jun's expression paused.

Qin Wei looked up at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

In just a second, Sheng Jun's expression returned to normal. He said calmly, "No, I was planning to warm up Su He's body."

Su He asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you let me sit inside when I wanted to?"

Sheng Jun glanced at him and said, "Jiaojiao has cured you, you don't need it. If you really want to use it, I can beat you half to death and then you can use it."

"Forget it." Su He coughed and took two steps back.

Why are you so fierce? He was just joking and asking casually.

This made him feel guilty about trying to hide something.

Qin Wei stared at Sheng Jun for a few seconds before slowly looking away and his gaze fell on Chu Jiaojiao.

They stayed there all the time and only left when it was time for dinner.

Jing Mo didn't want to eat at first. What was the point of eating? He didn't have the mind to eat. He only went because Sheng Jun forced him to.

He muttered on the way, "Not only does she skip meals, she skips three meals a day. I don't think you, Big Brother, care much about Chu Xiaoqi. I'm going to complain to her when she wakes up."

Sheng Jun didn't say anything. Qin Wei kicked him, but he was still a little unconvinced, "That's how it is."

"Shut up." Jing Mo glared at him, feeling a little headache. Why didn't he realize that his words were so harsh before?

It seems that Jiaojiao didn't beat him to death because they were fellow disciples.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Jiaojiao is weak now. It's useless for us to stay there. It's just self-satisfaction. Besides, if any enemy comes, we are too hungry to protect Jiaojiao."

Having said that, he glanced at Sheng Jun.

Before, he felt like Jing Mo, that the senior brother didn't care about Jiaojiao. But when he saw him eating every meal mechanically, as if just to fill his stomach, he understood at that moment.

To be good to Jiaojiao, you don’t need to abuse yourself or do meaningless things. Instead, you should make yourself stronger and protect her in the future.

This kind of thing cannot happen again.

Jing Mo was also thoughtful. He glanced at Sheng Jun quietly, a little embarrassed, "Big Brother, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Sheng Jun shook his head, not caring at all. He just looked at him and warned him, "Talk less in the future. Trouble comes from the mouth. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know." Seeing that he deliberately looked at his mouth while speaking, Jing Mo always felt that something was strange.

He had a hunch that what he wanted to see was not the mouth but the tongue.

Why are you all staring at his tongue? It's still here and fine.

Weird.

It made him feel like his tongue was about to fall off.

But he remembered Sheng Jun's words, and he didn't say them out loud, but just kept thinking about them.

After finishing their meal, they went back.

It would take a few days for Chu Jiaojiao to recover, so they didn't just sit there doing nothing. Some were reading, while others were practicing sword skills.

Su He came to learn from him, but he didn't learn anything. He threw away the sword in frustration.

He took a deep breath and regained his composure. He looked at Sheng Jun and said, "I received news that the Wang family has gone bankrupt. Their previous murders and bribery have also been uncovered."

"And the Chu family. Their stock plummeted, and decades of business were wiped out overnight. The Chu family's house was foreclosed, and the whole family was evicted. No one even wants a job washing dishes."

"Both of these incidents happened on the night you arrived. Jiaojiao's injury, is it related to this?"

Sheng Jun wiped his sword and nodded without hiding anything from him, "Yeah, that's right."

Even though he had guessed it in his mind, Su He still found it unbelievable when he confirmed it.

He endured it again and again, but he still couldn't help but said: "Is there something wrong with the Chu family? What good will it do for them to offend Jiaojiao? You are so stupid again."

If he had a sister named Chu Jiaojiao, he would definitely treat her like a treasure.

Sheng Jun twitched his lips, his eyes full of sarcasm, "So, they went bankrupt and had nothing..."
