SQLJBFDTW Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Resurrection. Eldest Brother’s Unilateral Reveal.

The only thing sharp was the sword, and the wind it generated frosted the ground as it swept past. Chao Jianxue was losing his strength and suddenly sneezed again.

Yu Wei, for the third time, knocked the iron sword out of his hand, coldly saying, “You’re dodging again.”

Chao Jianxue lamented inwardly, “If I don’t dodge, do you want me to get stabbed?”

It was too difficult for him to pretend he didn’t know swordsmanship at all. He tried his best to appear clumsy, but he couldn’t act too stupid. If the Xuanzhen world had an acting award, he felt he deserved a little golden statue.

He panted and shook his head at Yu Wei, “Lord Boat Master, let me rest for a while. I really don’t know swordsmanship. My hands are numb.”

He raised his hand, which already had a red mark from being smacked on the palm, and now the web between his thumb and forefinger was rubbed red from gripping the sword for too long. It looked quite pitiful at first glance.

Yu Wei started up, and the iron sword that had been knocked away flew up again, flying in front of Chao Jianxue. Then, propelled by his spiritual energy, it began to attack Chao Jianxue.

Lu Ren rolled and crawled, shouting “Help!” while dodging. Each time the sword tip was about to pierce him, Yu Wei controlled it so it didn’t penetrate his skin, only tearing holes in his clothes.

Thus, the scene became quite farcical.

Chao Jianxue was forced to the point where he almost used his spiritual power several times, but remembering that he still had to tie up Yu Wei and take him back, he endured the humiliation. He ran all over the place, jumping around wildly.

Finally, he saw Yu Wei standing cleanly by the lotus pond, not moved by his miserable state in the slightest, still looking inviolable. Malice arose from his courage, and like a bull with its sights set, he used a headbutt, charging fiercely towards Yu Wei.

“Lord Boat Master, save me!”

Yu Wei widened his eyes, not expecting him to charge straight at him like that. He waved his finger to stop the iron sword temporarily, but Lu Ren had already daringly bumped into him.

He had a lot of strength, and even Yu Wei had trouble maintaining his balance for a moment. Behind them was the lotus pond, and the two of them fell into the water together. Yu Wei was pressed underneath, and Chao Jianxue supported himself with both hands, while grabbing two handfuls of mud from under the water, frantically smearing it on Yu Wei’s chest, shouting as he smeared, “Lord Boat Master, I’m sorry, Lord Boat Master! I couldn’t control myself! Help, Lord Boat Master!”

Mud was also smeared on Yu Wei’s chin and neck. Chao Jianxue, pretending that he didn’t know how to swim, flailed his hands and feet.

Veins appeared on Yu Wei’s forehead. He grabbed him with one hand and sat up in the water, his face terribly gloomy. He pulled him out of the water, “The water is only knee-deep. What are you flailing around for!”

Lu Ren kept his eyes tightly closed, “Lord Boat Master, water got in my eyes, I can’t see!”

As long as he pretended to be blind, he could avoid Yu Wei’s icy gaze.

Yu Wei raised his hand and touched a lapel full of wet mud. He naturally was a person with a slight obsession with cleanliness, and at this time he couldn’t wait to solve this disguised person, whether it was a demon or a human, on the spot. But he still had to wait, wait for him to reveal his true purpose…

Yu Wei dragged him to the cloister and said sternly, “Go back and wash up before coming again.” With that, he hurriedly went back to change his clothes.

Chao Jianxue glanced at his departing back and smiled contentedly.

It was finally his turn to make Yu Wei feel frustrated. Most of the annoyance in his heart disappeared, and he happily returned to his original place to get clean clothes.

When Qin Cai saw him in this state, he was surprised and said, “What happened? Did Lord Boat Master send you back?”

Chao Jianxue waved his hand, “Of course not, I accidentally fell into the lotus pond.”

Qin Cai asked, “Did Lord Boat Master personally teach you cultivation techniques?” The hopeful expression on his face clearly showed his envy.

Chao Jianxue pouted and showed him his palm, “Look, Lord Boat Master hit me. He’s actually very fierce and doesn’t teach people at all. He just holds my head and tells me to recite, and he even fights with me, makes me use a sword. You know, I’m not very good with a sword. Look, the holes in this clothes were all stabbed by him!”

Qin Cai looked shocked. He had never imagined that Lu Ren was living such a miserable life in the White Jade Tower. His palms were red and swollen, looking like he had suffered a great deal.

“Lord Boat Master is actually this kind of person!” he said indignantly. “People really can’t be judged by appearances! I thought this Yu Clan was really like the rumors said, something about ‘His voice moves like jade in the cold’, I thought he was a noble senior, how could he mislead people like this!”

His eyes were burning, and he took Lu Ren’s hand, earnestly saying, “Why don’t we leave!”

“? Huh?” Chao Jianxue didn’t react, and then he heard him say, “I think even if we stay here, there won’t be any benefits. Anyway, it’s relatively free to enter and exit the One Leaf Boat. Let’s sneak away and go to the Wuwei Sect in Zhongchangtian to become disciples? Although the Wuwei Sect is not doing well now, I heard that it used to be the number one immortal sect. The foundation is still enough! It’s better than having no teachers here at all!”

“Ah?”

Qin Cai continued, “It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake once. We’re still young. The Wuwei Sect’s requirements for recruiting disciples are relatively low now. With our aptitude, we’ll definitely be able to become inner disciples!”

Chao Jianxue shook his head repeatedly, “I don’t want to go to the Wuwei Sect…”

“Then what about the Tianyao Sect? It’s just that if it’s the Tianyao Sect, we can only be outer disciples. The daily benefits might be a little worse, but it doesn’t matter. As long as we cultivate diligently, we can definitely transfer to the inner sect and have a place!”

Chao Jianxue was silent for a moment, and said to him, “I’d better stay here.”

Qin Cai knew that making the decision to leave was difficult. He tightened his grip on his hand and said, “You have to believe in your potential! If this place isn’t suitable, find another way out. There’s no point in dragging it on. You have to believe that it can’t get any worse than it is now!”

What he said was so inspiring. In fact, cultivating and working in a sect are the same thing!

Chao Jianxue said to Qin Cai, “If you want to go, I think the Wuwei Sect is better. Compared to outer disciples, inner disciples are better after all.”

In short, Chao Jianxue received this baptism of golden words, changed his clothes, and hurried to the White Jade Tower.

Yu Wei was not in the White Jade Tower, not knowing where he had gone. Chao Jianxue was happy that he was gone, and could finally lie down and slack off for a while.

He acted too much today, and exhausted himself.

Just as he lay flat on the ground, the window was suddenly knocked open. Chao Jianxue sat up and was pounced on the face by a snow-white bird.

The white bird made a sharp cry, and after hitting Chao Jianxue’s face, it circled around the room, as if looking for something.

Since Chao Jianxue’s demonic nature had completely awakened, he couldn’t stand this kind of scene.

He would have the impulse to jump up and grab the bird.

What’s the difference between this and an ordinary cat?

But as a demon, Chao Jianxue had the power to restrain this impulse.

The white bird slapped its wings in the room, sometimes flying to the left, sometimes swooping down. Chao Jianxue thought it was looking for a way out, and specially ran over to open the window, but this stupid white bird didn’t seem to find the direction at all, still flying around in the room.

Chao Jianxue couldn’t bear it anymore, suddenly jumped up, and grabbed it with one hand.

The white bird was terrified, and then Chao Jianxue threw it out of the window.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when the white shadow went back and forth, and attacked his face again with a whoosh!

“Ugh!” he exclaimed, falling on a soft cushion beside him.

The white bird seemed to be crazy, hitting the upstairs head-on, making a sound that almost seemed like it was trying to kill itself.

Chao Jianxue quickly went upstairs. This time Yu Wei’s room had a restriction, and the white bird couldn’t get in, making a “thump thump thump” sound.

At this time, Yu Wei finally returned, appearing on the steps with the sound, “What happened?”

Chao Jianxue pointed to the crazy bird in shock and said, “This bird seems to have a problem, it keeps hitting the wall!”

Yu Wei took a look, spread out his palm, and a smaller white bird was lying in his palm, its eyes vaguely open, making a weak cry.

When the crazy white bird saw it, it rushed over with a “chirp”, and the two birds snuggled together.

Chao Jianxue was curious, and Yu Wei said, “They were originally a pair. It should be that after it flew in a few days ago and didn’t go back for a long time, its partner couldn’t find it, so it acted strangely.”

Sure enough, after seeing its partner, the white bird finally stopped calling. The smaller one shook its feathers, and then the two accompanied each other and flew into the depths of the night together.

Chao Jianxue looked at the shadows of the two leaving and said, “They are actually affectionate birds.”

Yu Wei lowered his eyes and patted Chao Jianxue lightly on the shoulder, “Let’s go down.”

This made Chao Jianxue flattered. Why was he suddenly so gentle to him? It seemed like he had changed his temper. Did Yu Wei also realize that there was a problem with his teaching methods?

He suspiciously went downstairs, and was too tired today, so he felt sleepy again before long.

The candlelight flickered and went out, and dark shadows slowly moved down from the stairs.

Yu Wei flicked off a little medicinal power remaining on his fingertips. He had gotten this from Yiyun Valley.

The Sect Leader dissolved the poison in the white bird and told him that the poison was snake venom from a snake demon, and also refined the snake venom into a powder that only made people faint for a few hours and gave it to him.

Speaking of snakes, his thoughts immediately stopped on the green snake hanging around the neck of the demon that day.

Yu Wei asked, “Is there any medicine to dissolve disguises?”

The Sect Leader smiled and said, “Don’t you want to discover what he wants to do yourself?”

Yu Wei said, “I suspect he is the demon who broke into the White Jade Tower that day.”

So the Sect Leader gave him a bottle of potion, “As long as you apply it, you can remove the disguise.”

At this time, the moonlight was hazy, and the daring demon was fainting on the soft cushion.

Yu Wei’s footsteps were very light, and the moonlight covered half of his profile like a ghost. He lit a candle, faint and flickering, and bent down to squat beside Lu Ren.

He twisted a pinch of potion from the bottle and dripped a few drops on his face.

He wanted to see what kind of monster it was.

The three chapters of the agreement between the demon realm and the immortal sect clearly stated that demons cannot enter human cultivation sects. But if he was not mistaken, this demon had the cultivation of the Great Ascension stage.

And the green snake called him “Demon Lord”.

There are several Demon Lords in the demon realm, whose names are unknown, who knows which one it is?

Yu Wei slowly brought the light of the candle closer, and the potion gradually took effect. The forehead and eyebrows of this person gradually changed their appearance.

Suddenly, a night wind blew in from the open window, extinguishing the candle in Yu Wei’s hand.

But he was completely frozen, his wrist stuck in mid-air and unable to move.

The moonlight was flowing, like a ghost lamp.

The person on the soft cushion was unconsciously closing his eyes, but Yu Wei deeply remembered how those eyes had once turned their gaze on him, how they laughed, how they cried, how they looked at him with despair…

Is it real?

Or is it his illusion?

Yu Wei slowly moved closer, close enough to smell the faint fragrance on his body, not the former plum fragrance, but another demonic fragrance, dizzying and unforgettable.

He was almost nose to nose with him.

The effect of the potion continued to work, and the lower half of his face also changed. If he lowered his head a little more, he could touch those lips in his dream.

He hadn’t told his Eldest Brother that his Eldest Brother’s lips were beautiful, a bit like plump petals, like a dream of drunken life in the fragrance.

Yu Wei felt that a certain thought in his heart was about to break through the soil. He immediately stood up again, accidentally knocking over the candle holder, and the wax oil spilled on the ground.

Eldest Brother… It’s really Eldest Brother…

A kind of thought was like a black hole, about to devour his reason. Yu Wei panicked, waved his hand to restore his disguised appearance, and fled as if escaping.
