SQLJBFDTW Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Rigid You Live Here Too

Chao Jianxue was too lazy to argue with him further, holding his breath and reciting as much as he could, but it was even more embarrassing when Yu Wei tested him.

It would be one thing to stumble and fail to recite in front of their master, but in front of Yu Wei, every mistake and every pause felt like his ears were burning and his back was hot.

This was the shame and unwillingness of admitting defeat to Yu Wei at play.

Back then, he was also known as the “prodigy” with photographic memory, but these things of the Xuanzhen world were his first encounter. Understanding the profound and subtle methods of Xuanzhen was one thing, but comprehending them was another.

The superficial knowledge of the original owner was hardly enough to support his understanding of these profound principles. But he didn’t want to ask Yu Wei for guidance, so he had to ponder and figure it out on his own.

“Acting without action and being pure and tranquil, all things in heaven and earth return.” Yu Wei interrupted his sing-song recitation, “That sentence is wrong again.”

Chao Jianxue choked a bit. Wrong again? Did he have to get his palm struck like yesterday to remember?

Thinking of the scene of Yu Wei hitting his palm, Chao Jianxue suddenly shuddered with chills, and couldn’t suddenly remember what the next sentence was.

Yu Wei waited for him for a while, and seeing no movement, he said again, “Does Senior Brother know the meaning of the Wuwu Sect?”

Chao Jianxue gave a dry laugh: “I don’t know.”

Yu Wei wasn’t surprised, as if he didn’t have any expectations of him to begin with.

“Non-action is action. Non-action means not acting arbitrarily, not acting presumptuously. All actions should follow nature and the way of heaven, hence purity and tranquility, hence the clear understanding of heaven and earth…”

Chao Jianxue propped his chin and looked at him, watching his little mouth open and close, babbling a passage of classical Chinese, understanding a little, but also vaguely understanding.

It was nothing more than dialectics, and then talking about following the way of heaven and so on, a common setting in cultivation novels.

Yu Wei continued to explain a bunch of exquisite language to him, and Chao Jianxue’s attitude gradually became serious. After a series of teachings, he actually gained a lot, and those damn heart-mind techniques seemed to be much smoother.

Chao Jianxue said happily, “Junior Brother, you’re really not bad.”

Yu Wei frowned almost imperceptibly. He hadn’t said it all along, but Chao Jianxue’s speech sometimes sounded a little vulgar to him, probably learned from those outer disciples.

In the past, Chao Jianxue didn’t interact with them, only loved to talk to outer disciples. From time to time, he would also send out some items.

He really didn’t understand that those outer disciples weren’t sincerely interacting with him?

After reciting for a while, Chao Jianxue suddenly said, “Junior Brother, I’m really hungry.”

Yu Wei: “Bigu incantation.”

“Why don’t you just find some food for me? Really, I’m too hungry. When I’m hungry, I feel dizzy and can’t see anything. I haven’t eaten anything for two days. By the way, the Immortal Sect competition, are you finished?”

Yu Wei: “It finished yesterday.”

Chao Jianxue was curious: “Did you win? The champion?”

Yu Wei: “The champion.”

Chao Jianxue: “I knew it.”

His eyes rolled, and he began to flatter: “Junior Brother Yu Wei, handsome, suave, romantic, talented, beautiful, kind-hearted, peerless genius! I’m really hungry. The cafeteria should have put out dinner by now. Can you get some for me? Please!”

Yu Wei listened to this long string expressionlessly, and didn’t budge at all.

Chao Jianxue was so angry that his teeth itched. He rummaged out the Bigu incantation from who knows which corner of his memory and chanted it wildly to suppress the wails in his stomach.

He buried his head in the book, hungry and dizzy, feeling very uncomfortable, thinking that he might as well recite himself to death like this!

Yu Wei was not a kind and beautiful person at all, but a ruthless character.

While the other party was meditating and cultivating with immortal energy, he was suffering unspeakable pain from reciting these things, and wasn’t even allowed to drink water.

Whenever he got tired of reciting, he would glance at Yu Wei, filling his stomach with hatred.

Hatred is the best medicine to spur people on! He had to quickly recite these things, cultivate aggressively, ascend at the speed of light, see Yu Wei’s shocked expression, and step on Yu Wei’s shoulders to hear him say “Little brother admires you very much” hahaha!

A sudden and inexplicable fantasy often indicated the onset of drowsiness.

Yu Wei circulated the spiritual power in his body for one week, slowly exhaled, and opened his eyes. Chao Jianxue had already fallen asleep with his forehead against the book, his breathing a little disordered.

Looking out the window, the bright moon was already shining, and the mountain road with pedestrians coming and going was quiet on all sides.

He slowly walked to Chao Jianxue’s side. The latter didn’t have the slightest bit of defense that a cultivator should have, and he didn’t wake up even when he was so close to him.

Yu Wei reached out, originally intending to wake him up.

On second thought, Chao Jianxue was not originally as diligent in cultivation as they were, and had always been accustomed to having his own way. It was conceivable that these two days were very difficult for him, and he must be extremely tired.

He reversed his action, gently lifted Chao Jianxue’s outer robe from the seat next to him, and unfolded it. It was a beautiful cloak,Incense-smoked, A hidden fragrance of snow plum blossoms (Incense has been scented, A hidden fragrance of snow plum blossoms – It was smoked with incense, with a hidden fragrance of plum blossoms in the snow). He knew that Chao Jianxue’s things were all given by Lord Qishan, and he liked flashy, bejeweled things, and the Lord indulged him.

The night was chilly, and although the mermaid candle lamp was always on, it didn’t have much heat.

Yu Wei gently draped the cloak over Chao Jianxue’s body and slowly walked out of the library.

He walked down the mountain road, and unknowingly came to the foot of the main peak. He looked up and saw that the cafeteria was brightly lit, and there were still many disciples who had not yet achieved Bigu eating.

Since he was already here, Yu Wei simply walked in.

Some disciples recognized him and felt strange, their eyes followed him all the way. When they saw him order a dish of shortbread pastries, they felt even stranger.

Discussing privately, Junior Brother Yu Wei was clean and self-disciplined, probably getting it for a fellow disciple.

Which fellow disciple? Recalling the scene seen in the Fuxian Mountain library today, could it be that Chao Jianxue?

Before they could discuss it clearly, Yu Wei had already stepped out of the cafeteria like a breeze with the food box in hand.

That figure, that temperament, even the smell of food in the cafeteria had to float around him.

Unfortunately, he ran into Nan Shan on the way back.

Nan Shan saw the food box in his hand at a glance, and teased him with an expression of “I caught you”: “Junior Brother, I didn’t expect you to sneak food…”

Yu Wei turned his hand, skillfully dodging the hand he stretched out to open the lid.

“Senior Brother, don’t joke, I still have to go back to the library.”

Nan Shan said without energy: “Hey, Junior Brother, eat if you want to eat. What’s the fun of living by practicing Bigu all day? It’s fine as long as you’re not discovered by the master. What are you hiding?”

However, he didn’t believe that Yu Wei would bring food up. He would rather believe it was something else.

Nan Shan looked in the direction of the library and said, “Master asked you to watch him, and you’re really watching him? What has he recited? I’m afraid he hasn’t recited even one chapter, right?

You don’t know, when I first entered the master’s school, Chao Jianxue was still learning with us, but after he finally passed the foundation building stage, he didn’t make any progress. He’s like a wooden block, and he gets sick as soon as he cultivates. It’s a strange thing…”

Yu Wei said, “Senior Brother, you’re wrong. Eldest Senior Brother has finished reciting two books today.”

Nan Shan compared two fingers: “Really?”

Yu Wei nodded: “Perhaps Eldest Senior Brother has really changed. Senior Brother, you should say less of these words in the future.”

Nan Shan was stunned in place. Yu Wei had already walked far away and hadn’t recovered yet.

He smacked his lips, thinking, why did Little Junior Brother have the meaning to protect Chao Jianxue for the first time?

But Yu Wei has always been so gentle and polite. Nan Shan reflected on himself, could it be that he was too harsh? Ashamed, ashamed.

The closer he got to the library, Yu Wei’s pace quickened.

Soon, he realized that something was wrong and slowed down, opening the door of the library as usual.

Someone was already in the door.

Yu Wei’s figure paused: “Master.”

Mu Yuan nodded and said softly, “Come to see you, how is it today?”

Yu Wei quietly put the food box behind him: “Everything is fine, Eldest Senior Brother has not delayed his studies.”

Mu Yuan smiled and said, “You’ve worked hard. You won the Nascent Soul championship, and I haven’t rewarded you yet. Tell me, what do you want?”

Half of Yu Wei’s side face was illuminated by the moonlight, his thick eyebrows pressing down on his eyes. Hearing the question, a kind of ambition suddenly appeared in his downward gaze, like a deep, dark abyss, drowning in the moonlight.

“Master, I want to learn the ninth move of the Wuwu Sword.”

Mu Yuan pondered: “You just entered the Nascent Soul stage. This ninth move requires a cultivation base above the Transformation God stage to fully comprehend, otherwise there is a risk of reversing and destroying your cultivation.”

“Then please teach me the shortcut to breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.”

Mu Yuan said, “Actually, it’s simple. There is no other shortcut. With your diligence and talent, it’s only a matter of time. But Yu Wei, others win the competition and ask the master for a vacation by changing the rules. Why are you so anxious? Cultivation is something that can’t be rushed.”

Mu Yuan was actually a little headache. He had to admit that Yu Wei was a genius. It had only been fifty years since he entered his school, and he had already reached the Nascent Soul realm that others would hardly reach even after a hundred years of cultivation.

It’s just that geniuses have higher demands on themselves, and he, as a master, sometimes feels sorry for them.

Among his disciples, Chao Jianxue was out of the question, and only Nan Shan and Qiu Shui were the most normal children.

“I don’t ask my disciples to produce a Mahayana within a hundred years. Please slow down a little bit. How many people have gone astray because they wanted to be fast and took the wrong path?” He patiently persuaded.

A light flashed, it was the mother-of-pearl pattern on the food box. Mu Yuan asked, “What is in your hand?”

“…”

Yu Wei’s rare gaze flickered: “There’s nothing special.”

He hesitated, Mu Yuan had already seen that it was food, and a feeling of comfort and joy arose in his heart.

Although he reprimanded his disciples for not strictly adhering to the Bigu rules on the surface, Mu Yuan also came from being a disciple, so he turned a blind eye to their private eating and drinking.

This was the first time he had seen Yu Wei have such a childlike side. Mu Yuan pretended not to see it and smiled lovingly: “Alright, I’m leaving. Tell your Eldest Senior Brother to go to the inner room to sleep. You two live here together, so you can take a good rest this month.”

Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He gently placed the food box on Chao Jianxue’s table and moved the candle away.

Chao Jianxue hadn’t woken up yet. The hand he stretched out hesitated and retracted, and finally decided to sit back in his original position and circulate the spiritual power in his body for another week.

After a little while, Chao Jianxue suddenly took a deep breath and struggled to get up, still reciting a sentence he had memorized before falling asleep.

Suddenly their eyes met, and Chao Jianxue pretended to cough a few times. How embarrassing.

He noticed the food box on the table at a glance, and his eyes lit up.

He heard Yu Wei say: “Master has been here. He told you to go to the inner room to sleep.”

Master! He said that Master was not a ruthless person!

Chao Jianxue couldn’t wait to open the food box. Inside were three mung bean cakes with red flowers, and a sweet smell came to his face.

Master is so good. Master is the one who is beautiful and kind-hearted. He thought with emotion.

Yu Wei didn’t say anything else, and calmly watched him eat.

He ate the last piece: “Junior Brother, want some?”

Yu Wei shook his head.

Chao Jianxue said “rigid”, but there was no regret on his face, and he ate it quickly.

He said vaguely, “I’m going to the inner room to sleep, you should go back soon too.”

Yu Wei said, “I’m living here too.”

Chao Jianxue’s feet almost staggered as he stood up, what does that mean?
