Kill the heroine at the beginning, and the little apprentice sister will take away the luck
Chapter 41 Children can be taught
Chu He did not say a word under Wu Xiang's questioning, but just lowered his head lower and lower.
Wu Xiang became even more angry upon seeing this, and snorted again, "You and Zhang Wu Lei became disciples at the same time, and your caves are next to each other, so it's nothing to have a good relationship.
But when making friends with people, we should not only consider these things, but also whether that person is worth making friends with.
You are born with half a sword heart, with a clear mind and easy to trust people. If the person is trustworthy, it's fine, but if you trust someone who is not trustworthy, you will inevitably hurt yourself.
It was Zhang Wu Lei who asked you to go with him to the Ice Prison this time, right? Have you ever thought about why he wanted you to go with him?
"Brother Zhang just wanted to go check on Zhang Wulin and give him some food and clothes because he was born of the same mother as Zhang Wulin.
He asked me to go with him because he was afraid of being punished by the master and being discovered, so he asked me to help keep watch."
Chu He explained in a low voice, thinking of what Zhang Wu Lei had said to him, and also thinking that if his master knew about it, he would punish him.
Although Wu Xiang couldn't see Chu He's expression clearly, he could guess what Chu He was thinking.
He stood up and walked in front of Chu He, "Did Zhang Wu Lei tell you that? He did tell you that you might be punished, but if the Ice Prison simply sent you some food and clothes, they wouldn't let you be harmed by the icy energy.
Unless someone wants to forcibly unlock the chains of the Ice Prison and release the disciples imprisoned within."
"No, it's impossible. Senior Brother Zhang is not that kind of person."
Chu He suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
Wu Xiang flicked his sleeves and lifted Chu He's chilblained hand. "Were you ever hurt by the cold when you entered the Ice Prison? If you just want to deliver something, you can go to the Law Enforcement Hall and apply for it. Why did you have to be dragged along secretly?"
Chu He, you are not a brainless person, you should be able to figure out the key points."
Wu Xiang stopped short, but what he said was enough to make Chu He suspicious of Zhang Wu Lei's motives.
Zhang Wulei had gone to his cave last night to complain to him. His words revealed that he knew his brother had done something wrong, but as a family member, he was worried. The other disciples had also been unkind to him these past few days because of his brother's misdeeds.
In such a large sect like Qingxuan Sect, Chu He was the only one who could listen to his complaints.
Chu He is from the Chu family in Hedong. He has no older brothers but a younger brother. The two brothers have a very good relationship. When he saw Zhang Wu Lei crying like this for Zhang Wu Lin, he softened his heart and agreed to accompany Zhang Wu Lei to deliver some clothes and food.
The two went to the Ice Prison at 9:00 PM. Although they felt the cold when they entered, it was not to the extent that it would hurt them.
He brought the things to Zhang Wulin. He was keeping watch outside. When Zhang Wulei and Zhang Wulin were whispering to each other, the air suddenly became very cold. When they reacted and ran outside, it was too late. The cold air instantly froze them into ice men.
Afterwards, the Ice Prison shook, and the disciples guarding outside realized something was wrong and came in to carry the two out.
The one who went to the Ice Prison to pick up the people was Tang Xiuhe. Because trespassing into the Ice Prison was not a serious crime within the sect, and the two of them were new disciples who had just joined this year, the Law Enforcement Hall did not punish them too harshly. They were only fined two months' salary before handing them over to Prime Minister Wu for disposal.
There were no witnesses and no evidence. Even though Wu Xiang and Tang Xiuhe knew that the Ice Prison would only be activated when someone tried to forcibly unlock the chains, there was nothing they could do if Zhang Wu Lei insisted that it was an accidental collision.
The only punishment was to make the two of them kneel outside the hall.
Chu He's frostbite was less severe, and it was obvious that he was far away from the scene of the incident. Wu Xiang and Tang Xiuhe only had to think about the two men's personalities and guessed that Chu He must have been deceived by Zhang Wu Lei, so they brought Chu He into the hall for questioning.
Just after asking two questions, Leng Zhuxin came.
Wu Xiang thought that this matter was somewhat related to Leng Zhuxin, so he did not ask Leng Zhuxin to avoid suspicion, and also asked her to listen on the side so that she could be a little wary of Zhang Wu Lei.
Leng Zhuxin had been wary of Zhang Wulei's look when she entered the hall. After listening to the whole story, she understood that Zhang Wulei went to the Ice Prison to release Zhang Wulin.
Zhang Wulin was imprisoned after his cultivation was abolished. Zhang Wulei originally thought that Shangguan Heng would rescue Zhang Wulin when he came back, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Heng didn't ask about Zhang Wulin after he came back.
Zhang Wulin, who had no cultivation, would probably lose his life if he was locked up in the Ice Prison for a hundred years, so Zhang Wulei thought of releasing Zhang Wulin.
He asked Chu He to go not to ask Chu He to help him spread the word, but mainly because he wanted Chu He to take the blame with him.
He and his brother Zhang Wulin were both illegitimate sons of the head of the Zhang family in Leibao. They were brought back to the Lei family because of their excellent physique. However, Chu He was the legitimate eldest son of the Chu family in Hedong. If the two of them made a mistake together and were punished by the sect, the Zhang and Chu families could join forces to minimize the punishment.
Zhang Wu Lei had a good plan, but he didn't expect that although there was no one guarding the Ice Prison, it had its own protection array. Anyone who tried to force open the chains would be frozen.
This also made his plan go awry, and more importantly, Zhang Wulin would also be frozen.
Zhang Wulin, who was already seriously injured, is likely to have his lifespan shortened significantly after this incident, and may even be nearing his end.
Zhang Wu Lei, who blamed Chen Wei and Leng Zhu for everything his brother had suffered, must have hatred towards them.
This was Leng Zhuxin's guess, and she was indeed partly right.
But she didn't know that Zhang Wu Lei's hatred for her was not only because of Zhang Wu Lin, but also mostly out of jealousy.
He was jealous that Leng Zhuxin was not a disciple of Jianfeng but was favored by Wu Xiang. He was jealous that Leng Zhuxin broke through faster than him even though she ranked behind him in the Tianti Trial. He was also jealous that Leng Zhuxin shocked everyone when she came to Jianfeng to practice sword for the first time.
At the same time, he was also jealous of Chu He. He was jealous that Chu He was repeatedly praised by Wu Xiang and Tang Xiuhe, while he could only hear Wu Xiang and Tang Xiuhe say that he was too hasty.
This was also an important reason why he tricked Chu He into going to the Ice Prison with him. He wanted to see how partial Wu Xiang was.
But in reality, Wu Xiang wasn't biased. He praised Chu He because he was down-to-earth and didn't aim too high. He was able to practice each move well and had the tenacity of a swordsman. He said Zhang Wu Lei was too hasty because Zhang Wu Lei couldn't calm down during his sword practice.
He only wants to learn advanced swordsmanship and is unwilling to practice basic swordsmanship.
This boy's character is really too bad. If this continues, he will not be able to achieve anything in the path of sword cultivation.
Wu Xiang knew this very well, and didn't want to see him waste his talent, so he scolded him a few more times, but he didn't expect that he would feel biased.
On the other hand, Chu He, unaware of Zhang Wu Lei's jealousy, regarded Zhang Wu Lei as his best friend and senior brother in Qingxuan Sect, and was willing to take risks with him. Even though he made mistakes because of his deception, he did not hate him. Only after guessing the truth did he decide to draw a clear line with him. Such a person is truly clear-minded.
……
Chu He, who was clear-minded, immediately knelt down with his hands on the ground after understanding the key point: "Master, thank you for your advice, disciple, I understand."
"I'm glad you understand, but I still have to punish you. After you kneel for twelve hours, starting tomorrow at noon every day, you will practice two additional hours of introductory sword techniques in the square."
When Wu Xiang saw that Chu He had really figured things out, he felt that the boy was teachable.
Chu He had no objection to this. He replied "yes" and turned to look at Leng Zhuxin: "Senior Sister Leng, I am sorry for what happened to you and Senior Sister Chen Wei today. Fortunately, I didn't let Zhang Wulin escape, otherwise I would have made a big mistake and would not be able to face you two sisters.
I will give this Ice Dragon Grass to Senior Sister Leng as an apology. I would also like to ask Senior Sister Leng to help me take this Phantom Feather Flame Lotus to Senior Sister Chen Wei."
Ice Dragon Grass and Fantasy Feather Flame Lotus are both seventh-grade spiritual herbs that can improve cultivation. There are only a few of them in the Qingxuan Sect, and they are often used as prizes in sect competitions.
Chu He waved his hand and took it out to give to Leng Zhuxin and Chen Wei. Obviously, this was not a particularly precious thing to him.
What's more, if Leng Zhuxin didn't accept it, he might not be able to let it go. In order to avoid affecting his cultivation, Leng Zhuxin hesitated for a moment and finally accepted it.
But she didn't take it for nothing. She picked out a Xuan-level spiritual sword from the treasures Gu Yanhuai gave her and gave it to Chu He.
"This sword is of gold. Consider it my return gift to Junior Brother Chu."
The Xuan-grade spiritual sword is slightly inferior to the seventh-grade spiritual herb, but although Leng Zhuxin's Hanyu Space is integrated with the Cangshan Secret Realm, the Cangshan Secret Realm is only her companion secret realm, which only contains spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits and monsters.
The only treasures her father put in there, namely the attributeless spiritual sword and the recipe for the ascension pill, have also been given to Chen Wei.
The only magic sword that Leng Zhuxin can currently use that is most suitable for Chu He is this one.
