Chapter 288 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 15
Ji Chaoxi suddenly noticed that there were many more people in the training ground these past few days than before, and the usually aloof disciples were all sparring together.
The air was thick with tension as everyone polished their personal swords, the gleam reflecting on their expectant faces.
There were also many disciples queuing at the supplies requisition point. The senior brothers and sisters were counting the dry food and water in the packages, and the elders were much gentler than usual.
Because Wen Shubai was too busy, Ji Chaoxi had been practicing on her own these past few days.
She looked at this scene with a puzzled expression, wondering what these disciples were doing.
Ji Chaoxi spotted Liu Fuyin not far away and quickly ran over to pull her aside.
Liu Fuyin glared at her impatiently: "What, Hua'er?"
Ji Chaoxi: ...
Ji Chaoxi pretended not to hear: "What are you guys doing?"
When Liu Fuyin saw that Ji Chaoxi was asking her about this matter, she crossed her arms and looked Ji Chaoxi up and down.
"We are going down the mountain for training, and all the new disciples will be going this time."
She glanced at Ji Chaoxi's envious gaze and scoffed, "Except for you!"
Ji Chaoxi was furious: "Why me, of all people?"
Liu Fuyin sneered, "Huahua, we all have spiritual roots. Are you trying to die because you don't have any? Besides, you don't have a master. Who are you going with?"
Ji Chaoxi frowned deeply: "Can't I go with my senior brother?"
"Senior Brother? He wants to bring his fellow disciples. Do you know what fellow disciples are? They are disciples of the same master. You don't even have a master." Liu Fuyin became more and more excited as she spoke.
She was happy when she saw Ji Chaoxi was unhappy.
"You should just stay obediently in the Heavenly Absolute Sect and be your flower. I'm going to go on a training trip with my senior brothers and sisters in a few days. My skills will improve again then, unlike some people..."
Ji Chaoxi was furious: "What's there to be proud of? I'm going too."
Liu Fuyin laughed out loud: "Then you go, let's see how you manage to go!"
Liu Fuyin's fellow disciples looked at her with utter bewilderment.
She remembered that Liu Fuyin had a very cold personality.
But right now she just gives off a really punchable vibe...
Ji Chaoxi immediately ran to find Wen Shubai. Wen Shubai was checking the supplies of his fellow disciples when he saw Ji Chaoxi with red eyes. He immediately knew why she had come to see him.
The two walked into a bamboo grove. Wen Shubai looked down at her and said gently, "Junior Sister, training is very dangerous. You don't have spiritual roots, so you will be very easy to get injured."
Other disciples with spiritual roots were injured, which provided a good opportunity for them to undergo trials.
But Ji Chaoxi was injured, and it was a direct physical injury.
Ji Chaoxi tugged at Wen Shubai's sleeve and said pitifully, "Senior Brother, all the other new disciples went, but I can't go."
"I really want to go, I want to see it too. I won't be a burden to everyone, I have many magical artifacts to protect myself."
Wen Shubai looked at her gently: "I'll bring back the things that Junior Sister mentioned wanting last time after I finish my training."
"I don't want to, I just want to go to the trial..." Ji Chaoxi's eyes reddened, and she started to pretend to cry again.
Wen Shubai would agree to other things, but this matter involved life and death, and he wouldn't let her take the risk.
"I'm sorry, junior sister, I can't agree to that."
Wen Shubai's tone remained gentle, but his refusal was also decisive.
Ji Chaoxi felt a pang of sadness; maybe she should just let it go.
As soon as she looked up, her eyes met those of Liu Fuyin, who was not far away. Liu Fuyin raised an eyebrow at her.
Ji Chaoxi: ...
"Senior Brother, I'm going!"
"..."
"I don't need anyone to protect me. Anyway, I don't have a jade token, and I'm not a disciple of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect. Senior Brothers, it's in accordance with the rules of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect if you don't save me!"
"..."
"Senior Brother, you're ignoring me..."
"Junior sister, I'm not ignoring you."
"Then I'll go!"
"..."
Wherever Wen Shubai went, Ji Chaoxi followed.
Wen Shubai was taking inventory of the belongings of his fellow disciples.
"Remember to bring your natal sword," Wen Shubai said gently.
"Yes, Senior Brother." The rest of the sect responded in unison, but their gazes were fixed on Ji Chaoxi beside them.
Ji Chaoxi and the others knew each other. Even though they were from the same sect as the senior brother, the senior brother taught her every day.
"Senior brother, they said my foundation is too shallow and refused to give me the muscle-regenerating ointment. They look down on me!" a male disciple with triangular eyes said indignantly.
His voice immediately lowered when he met Wen Shubai's gaze.
Other disciples chimed in, "Your foundation is already shallow. The Regenerating Ointment is so precious, how could you possibly give it to just anyone?"
The man with the triangular eyes instinctively wanted to retort, but he held back.
He was so annoyed by these people.
Wen Shubai returned to the courtyard, his sleeves never left his hands, they were all crumpled from being gripped.
Wen Shubai's room was empty, with hardly anything inside.
"Junior sister, I'll teach you some new moves later. You can practice them more these next few days."
Wen Shubai said patiently.
Ji Chaoxi grabbed his sleeve without saying a word, taking her shamelessness to the extreme.
Wen Shubai chuckled, looking down at her sullen face: "Junior Sister, aren't you going back to sleep at night?"
"Senior Brother, promise me and I'll let you go!"
Wen Shubai raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
Let her hold it then.
The disciples of the Tianjue Sect stared blankly at Wen Shubai and Ji Chaoxi all afternoon.
Is the senior disciple completely unable to let go of this new disciple?
The two were inseparable all afternoon.
Ji Chaoxi now realized how busy Wen Shubai was. With the sect leader away and the second elder not managing things much, Wen Shubai handled most of the affairs.
Just watching from the sidelines made Ji Chaoxi feel tired.
"Junior Sister, would you like to go back and rest?" Wen Shubai asked, looking at Ji Chaoxi, who was dozing off beside him.
Ji Chaoxi forced herself to stay awake, still clutching his sleeve: "Senior Brother, I'm not sleepy."
Wen Shubai sighed. His junior sister had been with him for a whole day, and he had never seen her so persistent before.
"Senior Brother, were you lying to me before? Didn't you say I was a genius...?"
Wen Shubai gently wiped away Ji Chaoxi's tears.
My junior sister is really something; she can cry so easily. She cried a whopping 76 times today. Sometimes she'll shed a tear or two, but sometimes she won't shed a single tear.
Ji Chaoxi was truly heartbroken: "Senior Brother, you don't know, but Liu Fuyin and I are sworn enemies. Seeing her progress is more painful than killing me."
"My parents raised me with such difficulty; they practically raised me like a pig. I'm so sorry to them..."
Tears streamed down her face, soaking her handkerchief quickly, so Wen Shubai changed to another one.
Just as Ji Chaoxi was about to continue playing the victim, Wen Shubai's voice suddenly rang out: "Then Junior Sister, you should go."
Ji Chaoxi hadn't reacted yet and stared at him blankly.
Wen Shubai looked at her red, tear-filled eyes, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Junior Sister, you'd better stick close to me then."
If he didn't agree, he was afraid she would really cry herself sick.
"Senior Brother, how can you be so kind..."
Ji Chaoxi clung tightly to his arm, her face buried in his pale sleeve, her tears of emotion soaking his sleeve as she choked out a sob.
"Senior Brother, next time you visit Yun Town, I'll definitely treat you well. My pigs are the best in Yun Town..."
The clouds gently patted Ji Chaoxi's head.
Wen Shubai finally couldn't hold back any longer. The smile on his lips grew wider and wider, and he chuckled softly.
"Then I'll definitely have to go to Yunzhen sometime."
