Junior Disciple C

"Boom".

Fang Yang, who was guarding outside the cabin, raised one finger again. This is already the tenth finger, and one finger represents a broken wine bowl.

During the time Fang Yang and Cao Zirui came to wait outside the cabin, Wu Wenbo had already cooked ten bowls without saying a word.Head Wu never expected that his best friend, who was supposed to be at the bottom of him, would actually overtake him in this way.

Although Ji Chengyue's Lingxiao Sword Sect started to improve, as Ji Chengyue's friend for many years, he should be happy for his friend, but happiness is happiness, and suddenly he became the bottom, and it is natural to feel a little bit aggrieved.

It's not good for him to blame Ji Chengyue for not being loyal enough to treat himself as a backstop. Just thinking about this kind of thinking makes him feel petty, so even though Wu Wenbo's heart is sour like a lemon, he doesn't say a word.

He just drank, staring at Ji Chengyue drinking.

Seeing Ji Chengyue's black streaks, there is no other way but to accompany him.

Therefore, even if he felt that his precious little apprentice was outside the cabin, he didn't have the chance to go out and ask Cao Zirui who hadn't seen him for a day.

"This is too good to drink!" Fang Yang looked at all his raised fingers, and simply put his hands down. Seeing the continuous cracking sound in the cabin, even if he used his toes, he might not be able to catch up with Wu Wenbo. drinking capacity.

Cao Zirui was about to speak when he heard the words, but the words suddenly turned into two muffled coughs: "Ahem..."

Hearing the sound of coughing, Fang Yang suddenly reacted: "Your internal injury is still not healed! I actually dragged you to stand here blowing the wind for so long!"

He scratched his hair in frustration, then took Cao Zirui's hand and wanted to take him to another cabin where his disciples were resting.

"It's okay. After taking the elixir, my injury will be all right. I'll recover after a while of rest. It's just a blow to the wind. I'm not that delicate." Cao Zirui said what to say, but Fang Yang pulled him into the cabin , He didn't refuse, and obediently followed.

However, just a few steps away, the two stopped because they bumped into someone accidentally.

Fang Yang looked up at Xue Ren, Cao Zirui's real senior brother, who was a head taller than himself and Cao Zirui.

Seeing the two holding hands together, Xue Ren narrowed his eyes imperceptibly. When did his little brother become so intimate with others?

He didn't show his doubts, but smiled at the two of them friendly.

Seeing this, Fang Yang quickly saluted Xue Ren, Cao Zirui also nodded, and called out: "Senior brother."

This senior brother was exactly the same as usual, it was Cao Zirui's usual indifferent tone, without any obvious mood swings.

It seemed that even though Lu Chengye missed for some reason, this trash who had done more than failed failed to confess him anyway.

According to Xue Ren's understanding of his junior brother, Cao Zirui would not lie at all. This guy has a kind of textbook integrity, thanks to the overly caring protection of his parents and master, so he has never been exposed to any suffering in the world. Be a man according to the principles in the book.

Xue Ren usually hated Cao Zirui's character very much. Cao Zirui is the gentleman expected by his master, so what is he?

Dogtail grass growing savagely in the mud?

But at this moment, he was somewhat grateful to Cao Zirui for this point. It was because he knew that Cao Zirui would not lie that he could deduce that Cao Zirui really didn't know that he was the one behind the scenes.

For a person who can't even tell a lie, to pretend to be nonchalant in front of Xue Ren, who is good at perceiving words and expressions, is even more fantastic than the Arabian Nights.

But if you know it, you know it. There is a saying that is good, and it is a guilty conscience.

Even though he rationally felt that Cao Zirui didn't know about it, Xue Ren still couldn't rest assured that once this matter was exposed, he would be ruined.

Therefore, he did not ignore this little junior as usual, and he would only say hello when someone else was present.

Not only did he take the initiative to come here today, but he also took the initiative to care about Cao Zirui's experience in the secret territory of the floating island. Xue Ren smiled and said: "Junior Brother has gained a lot from this trip, I must have some adventures in the secret territory."

A lot of harvest is far from being counted, and the score of [-] points can only be regarded as the upper average in the overall level, but the adventure... If being hunted down counts, then he has indeed experienced an adventure.

Cao Zirui thought for a while, although he intended to tell his master directly about this matter, it's okay to tell his senior brother first, anyway, there's nothing to hide.

So he directly told about the fact that he had been hunted down in the secret realm of the floating island. Xue Ren frowned, looking serious and unbelievable that such a wicked person existed.

He didn't interrupt Cao Zirui, but listened silently to Cao Zirui's story about his wonderful escape experience, and watched Cao Zirui pull out Fang Yang, the savior, and introduce him to Xue Ren.

Xue Ren gave Fang Yang a grateful look, and then continued to listen to Cao Zirui's narration. When Cao Zirui said that the golden arrow chasing the two of them broke inexplicably due to a sudden earthquake inside the floating island, he finally Unable to bear it, he cursed a dirty word in his heart.

What the fuck is this magical failure reason? !

Lu Chengye is also a good-for-nothing who can't be supported by mud. He has spent so much effort and paid so much to get the heaven-rank magic weapon, the Burning Sky Bow. He is still warm. This waste not only put his life on the floating island In the secret realm, he even took his own Burning Sky Bow to be buried with him!

Xue Ren took a deep breath, exhausted all his filthy words in his heart, and then showed a relieved smile to Cao Zirui, who had told the whole story: "It's good that the younger brother is fine. I never thought that this trip to the secret place on the floating island would be so unexpected." It's a narrow escape, and in just one day, it's almost as if heaven and man are separated forever."

Fang Yang, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly interjected: "It's not that it's all right, he was seriously injured, most of Lu Chengye's attacks were blocked by water pearls, and all the remaining power of the golden arrow hit him, and he was unconscious at that time. After waking up for several hours, although he took a little elixir and seemed to be fine, he was still coughing just now."

In Cao Zirui's narration, he didn't talk about his injury, and Xue Ren didn't ask, he only cared about whether Cao Zirui died, and whether he was exposed, and he didn't care how much Cao Zirui was injured.

But now that he knew it, he immediately gave Cao Zirui a worried look: "It's so."

That's great.He said at the same time in his heart.

Afterwards, he sighed again, and blamed himself: "It's the brother's fault, I didn't expect our sect to have such a demon cultivator mixed in."

He defined Lu Chengye's character in one word, obviously Lu Chengye did not have the devilish energy that a demon cultivator should have, and Cao Zirui's description did not have any speculation in the direction of a demon cultivator.

But he just came to a conclusion like this, and the purpose was naturally to confuse his vision and clean himself up completely.

Fang Yang and Cao Zirui were a little surprised when they heard the word Moxiu suddenly, but after being surprised, they also felt that this statement made sense.

Otherwise, why did Lu Chengye chase them down?There are still reasons for chasing and killing Fang Yang, but it is obvious that Fang Yang is just passing by, and Cao Zirui, who has no injustice or hatred, is the real target.

If Lu Chengye was a demon cultivator who mixed into Lingxiao Sword Sect, then everything would make sense. Demon cultivators naturally want to be enemies of righteous monks.

Although the Lingxiao Sword Sect is not doing well now, Cao Zirui is a rising star. Although Ji Chengyue didn't say it clearly, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he wants to train Cao Zirui to become the next Lingyun, and even Lingyun's original Lingxiao swordsmanship can't passed it on to him.

If Cao Zirui really succeeded in cultivating and became another monk of the Dao stage after a hundred years, and the strength of the righteous way increased greatly, it would be tantamount to terrible news for the demon cultivators.

So they were very far-sighted and strangled this new star in the cradle.

Totally makes sense.

Cao Zirui and Fang Yang nodded approvingly, and Cao Zirui comforted Xue Ren, who seemed to be blaming himself: "Senior brother, don't blame yourself. I was able to return safely this time because I asked my senior brother to see me off before I left." The bell gave me an early warning along the way, so I could escape many times.”

Xue Ren couldn't help but move his eyes down, looking at the bell hanging on Cao Zirui's waist, it's good that Cao Zirui didn't mention it, but Xue Ren couldn't help but cursed again, he even gave the tracker to Lu Chengye Ready, how could Lu Chengye fail? !

After cursing, his heart finally relaxed a little. Cao Zirui didn't even know the mystery of the bell, and even now he still wears it close to his body, so he must really be ignorant.

However, Xue Ren's prudence still did not allow him to feel at ease like this. He said to Cao Zirui, "This matter must be reported to Master, and Master will decide."

Cao Zirui nodded: "I also wanted to talk to Master, but I just couldn't find time."

Fang Yang echoed: "Yeah, Sect Master Wu is so good at drinking, he has been dragging Sect Leader to drink."

Xue Ren raised his eyebrows: "Small things like drinking alcohol are not as important as the big thing about you being chased and killed by the demon cultivator. I'll go and ask Master to come out."

After that, he enthusiastically went to the cabin.

Because he knew that this matter must not be hidden from his master, Cao Zirui's body injury, according to his master's concern for Cao Zirui, it is impossible not to notice it.

Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it. It's better to take the initiative himself. When Cao Zirui told the master about this matter, he must be present, so that it is convenient to observe the master's attitude, and to bring the rhythm at the right time.

Right now is the best time, so Xue Ren has a serious face, risking the master's anger, but also going to call out the master who is drinking with his friends.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door of the cabin, Ji Chengyue lifted the curtain and walked out. Through the curtain that had not yet fallen, Xue Ren saw Wu Wenbowu, the head of the cabin who was drunk on the table and lying on the table.

The floor of the cabin was covered with shards of wine bowls, the number was countless, and they really drank a lot.

Ji Chengyue's expression was very clear, he didn't drink much at all, and Wu Wenbo took all the bitter wine down his throat.

He was a little surprised when he saw Xue Ren, he thought it was Cao Zirui who was guarding outside the cabin.

After a moment of surprise, after seeing Cao Zirui and another familiar disciple not far behind Xue Ren, he realized that he hadn't thought wrong.

"Master." Xue Ren bowed to Ji Chengyue.

Ji Chengyue nodded to Xue Ren in response, and then moved his gaze from Xue Ren in front of him to Cao Zirui in the distance.

Obviously he was standing in front of him, but he dismissed himself.Seeing this, Xue Ren clenched his hands in front of him to salute, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.

He just put on an anxious and worried expression, and briefly told Ji Chengyue what he heard.

Hearing this, Ji Chengyue finally turned his eyes back to Xue Ren, his face was full of astonishment, and after he realized it, he immediately walked towards Cao Zirui quickly.

He looked at Cao Zirui, who was innocent on the surface, but immediately realized something was wrong: "Why did your cultivation level drop to the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Before Cao Zirui could answer, Ji Chengyue involuntarily grabbed Cao Zirui's wrist and got on his veins.

"Fire Yang Flower..." Ji Chengyue was the head of the sect after all, and he couldn't be compared with the barefoot doctor, Deacon Zhang. He immediately explained the reason why Cao Zirui's cultivation base plummeted.

Moreover, he also noticed Cao Zirui's injury at the same time.

Those who were originally disappointed with Cao Zirui's achievements in this trip have now turned into worry and distress about his injury. How could he not feel distressed about the disciples he brought up with one hand.

The wind was strong on the deck, so Ji Chengyue led the three of them into another cabin to talk.

In the cabin, Cao Zirui recounted what happened in the secret realm of the floating island, and Fang Yang was responsible for supplementing.

But Xue Ren listened quietly, with a worried expression on his face, and after Cao Zirui finished speaking, he begged Ji Chengyue: "Master, my school has actually mixed in such a demon cultivator, I am willing to work for Master." Check, check to see if there are any other accomplices."

Ji Chengyue didn't speak for a long time, he stared at Cao Zirui for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long while, he suddenly repeated it softly: "Magic cultivator?"

His gaze moved to Xue Ren at the same time, and Xue Ren's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at by those sharp eyes like the edge of a sword. Then he remembered that no matter how restrained his master is usually, he is a swordsman after all.

But he immediately calmed down, and repeated loudly: "Junior Brother and Lu Chengye have no grudges in the past and have no enmity in the near future. Presumably only the devil cultivator has such a vicious heart."

"Master, I think what brother said makes sense." Cao Zirui also helped.

But Ji Chengyue didn't respond, he didn't affirm or deny, he just looked at Xue Ren.

Xue Ren maintained the posture of saluting when asking for orders, with his hands raised forward, his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

But his close-fitting underwear was already soaked in cold sweat.

I don't know how long it took, but in Xue Ren's feeling, it seemed as long as a century, and Ji Chengyue finally said: "Indeed, only Moxiu has such a vicious heart."

He waved his hand at Xue Ren: "Let's leave this matter to you, and you must find out all the details in the door."

Xue Renchang breathed a sigh of relief, the master did not doubt him, otherwise he would not have entrusted this matter to him.His heart can finally really let go.

"Yes." He replied, but still stood here and did not leave.

Ji Chengyue turned his head to look at Fang Yang again, he finally remembered who Fang Yang was, wasn't he the lucky kid who picked up Bingyancao.

When Cao Zirui told the story, he didn't forget to tell about Lu Chengye poisoning Fang Yang, so Ji Chengyue already knew that Fang Yang and Cao Zirui were poisoned by the same poison, and also knew that Fang Yang saved Cao Zirui.

He stretched out his hand to Fang Yang: "Where's Bingyan Grass?"

This was an obvious request. Fang Yang was taken aback for a moment, but then obediently took it out and handed it to him.

Ji Chengyue pinched this herb that was as clear as ice crystals with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "Curse is what blessings depend on. You have all been poisoned by the sunflower, but together you picked up something to detoxify. God willing."

He smiled at Fang Yang, who was stunned: "Don't worry, I won't be greedy for your things, but Bingyancao is very rare. Although it has the effect of washing the marrow of the Book of Changes, it is far inferior to refining it. After absorbing the effect, I will find someone to help you refine the elixir and return it to you."

Fang Yang scratched his head, a little embarrassed, for a moment just now he really thought that the head of Ji was trying to rob him.

However, after thinking about it, Master Ji, as the master, has all the resources of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Although the Bingyan Grass is expensive, it is only [-] spirit stones, which is nothing to him.

Ji Chengyue said again: "You have made great achievements in this trip, and there will be other rewards in the sect. After the sea market is over, I will ask someone to give you the reward when you return to the sect."

What mirage?Although Fang Yang didn't understand why, Ji Chengyue didn't intend to explain it to him.Ji Chengyue waved his hands at the three of them and said, "It's getting late, you guys go back and rest."

The three of them saluted each other and were about to leave.

Ji Chengyue suddenly stopped Cao Zirui: "Zirui, please stay here."

Xue Ren's expression suddenly changed. He peeked at Master's expression out of the corner of his eye in surprise.Why did Master leave Cao Zirui alone? Did he suspect him?

When he was feeling very nervous, Ji Chengyue explained to Cao Zirui who was also puzzled: "I will help you to see the injury, you have taken a potion indiscriminately, and you don't know if it is right or not."

It turned out to be like this.Xue Ren felt relieved again, and pretended to be concerned and said: "Junior, take care of yourself."

Then he lifted the curtain and left the cabin.

Fang Yang turned his head and waved to Cao Zirui, saying goodbye, "I'm leaving too."

Cao Zirui also waved.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chengyue was surprised, but suddenly felt relieved. In fact, he had been a little worried about Cao Zirui's character. Seeing that Cao Zirui finally made friends, his old father's heart can also be let go.

He reconnected with Cao Zirui's meridians, and used his spiritual power to carefully sort out the dark wounds in Cao Zirui's meridians.

After everything was done, it was getting late, Cao Zirui stood up and thanked his master, and was about to leave, but Ji Chengyue stopped him again.

This time it's not for hurt, but for...

Ji Chengyue looked at the bell hanging on Cao Zirui's waist, and suddenly said, "Is this the one your brother gave you?"

"Yes." Cao Zirui nodded.

Ji Chengyue reached out and took the bell in his palm and shook it, seemingly just holding it casually for a moment.Immediately, he let go of his hand, smiled kindly at Cao Zirui, and told him: "Go back and have a good rest, don't use your spiritual power rashly recently."

"Yes." Cao Zirui replied, and finally took his leave.

After Cao Zirui left, Ji Chengyue was the only one left in the cabin.

The room was silent, except for the occasional sound of candles burning on the candlestick by the table that illuminated the dimly lit cabin.

Ji Chengyue stared at the flickering candle, watched the ever-changing light and shadow as the candle flickered, and remained silent for a long time.
