Junior Sister Has Changed

She wants him to die?

Even if everyone in the world is dead, the male lead, Xiao Jihan, won’t die, right?

Yan Shu sighed and said, “Third Senior Brother, you’re overthinking. Although the Brahma Secret Realm is a matter of life and death, it’s a trial ground for new disciples, and the risk is not high. Moreover, Xiao Jihan is already in the Foundation Establishment stage and is about to form his Golden Dan. This time, going to the Brahma Secret Realm might bring him opportunities.”

This was an understatement. The current Xiao Jihan had already reached the late Golden Dan stage.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiqing’s expression revealed some surprise. “He has already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage?”

To his knowledge, the aptitude of the new disciples in this generation was only average. That’s why several old folks, including himself, didn’t accept any direct disciples this time. The one who fared slightly better, the one who was forced by several disciples, was barely about to form his Golden Dan. How could a pseudo spirit root with four attributes form his Dan in just a few years?

Yan Shu understood the underlying meaning of his words.

Recalling Xiao Jihan’s resentment towards the Xuantian Sect, it was not only because of the original host but also because of the humiliation he suffered in the sect. She immediately put on a stern face and said, “Senior Brother, there are countless methods of cultivation, and while spirit roots are important, they are not the only criteria for judgment. You have misunderstood.”

In the Xuanling Mirror, her skin was as smooth as jade with a slight blush. Her beautiful features were cold and elegant, exuding a celestial charm. Her lips were pressed together, exuding an indescribable seriousness and earnestness.

She was the junior Junior Sister who was hundreds of years younger than them, but at this moment, Liu Zhiqing felt like he was seeing their fallen master.

There were countless methods of cultivation, and spirit roots were not the only criteria for judgment. Master had said this to them before. However, for thousands of years, there had never been an exception, and gradually, it was forgotten.

Liu Zhiqing looked at Yan Shu’s serious little face and felt somewhat ashamed. He said, “Junior Junior Sister is right. I misunderstood. The path of cultivation is long, and temperament and opportunities are equally important. I will immediately make arrangements and add Xiao Jihan’s name to the list of participants in the trial.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Yan Shu nodded in thanks. Suddenly, she remembered something and spoke up, “Senior Brother, I have noticed that Xiao Jihan has quite a talent for alchemy and artifact refining. Please find some basic materials for alchemy and artifact refining and have them sent over.”

Liu Zhiqing was taken aback by her words and looked at Yan Shu with some surprise, but he still nodded and said, “Alright.”

After cutting off the communication, Liu Zhiqing hesitated for a moment while looking at the Xuanling Mirror, then sent a message to the Second Senior Brother, Bing Shi’en.

The connection was quickly established, and Liu Zhiqing informed Bing Shi’en about Yan Shu’s request for a pill furnace, materials for alchemy and artifact refining, and the fact that Xiao Jihan was about to form his Golden Dan.

After finishing his message, Liu Zhiqing lowered his voice and said, “Second Senior Brother, haven’t you noticed that Junior Junior Sister has changed?”

Bing Shi’en furrowed his brow. “What do you mean? Before our master fell, he left his divine consciousness and seal inside Junior Junior Sister’s body. If Junior Junior Sister is occupied by a demon or if someone tries to take over her body, our master would inform us.”

“I don’t mean that.”

Liu Zhiqing didn’t know where to start. “I just feel that after Junior Junior Sister dispelled her inner demons, although her temperament remains as cold as before, she has become closer to us senior brothers, especially to her disciple. I heard that today, she took Xiao Jihan to Wuxu Peak and beat up an inner disciple who had bullied Xiao Jihan.”

Bing Shi’en didn’t take it seriously. “That’s her first disciple, so it’s natural for her to care more. Didn’t we also pay more attention to our first disciples when we first took them in? Besides, Junior Junior Sister used to be troubled by her inner demons, and she wasn’t kind to Xiao Jihan before. She must feel guilty now and wants to make it up to him.”

“Moreover, Xiao Jihan has made remarkable progress on his own, reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage in just a few years. He is even stronger than the so-called best disciple in terms of aptitude, not to mention that he has a pseudo-spirit root with four attributes. If you were in her shoes, wouldn’t you also pay more attention to such a talented seedling?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiqing fell silent for a moment. Then he said, “Although what you said makes sense, I still feel that Junior Junior Sister is treating her disciple too well.”

Hearing this, Bing Shi’en glanced at Liu Zhiqing with suspicion and said in a low voice, “Third Senior Brother, are you jealous? Do you feel that Junior Junior Sister suddenly treats her disciple better than the senior brother she has been with for a hundred years?”

Liu Zhiqing was taken aback by the accusation, carefully pondered the feeling in his heart, and suddenly felt embarrassed. He coughed lightly and didn’t respond.

Bing Shi’en chuckled, “Junior Brother, you have to watch your mentality. It’s just a disciple. If Junior Junior Sister finds a partner in the future, would you take out your sword and kill them?”

“What partner? Junior Junior Sister is still young!”

Liu Zhiqing snorted and said, “I won’t talk to you anymore. Hurry up and send over the materials for artifact refining. I’ll personally deliver them to Junior Junior Sister.”

Bing Shi’en stood up, “Let’s go together. We can also see what kind of talent can capture Junior Junior Sister’s attention!”

After cutting off the communication, Liu Zhiqing also stood up and snorted, “Pot calling the kettle black.”

Both Liu Zhiqing and Bing Shi’en had reached the Integration stage, so they could travel thousands of miles with their divine abilities. After they stood up, they waved their sleeves and instantly arrived outside the main hall of Wushang Peak.

Sensing their arrival, Yan Shu immediately stood up to greet them and said with some surprise, “Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, why did you come personally?”

Bing Shi’en didn’t answer, and Liu Zhiqing coughed lightly and said, “Junior Junior Sister’s disciple is also our disciple. We heard that Xiao Jihan has talents in pill refining and artifact refining. Second Senior Brother and I thought that since you are not proficient in these areas, we should come and take a look, and also give some guidance.”

Saying that they were not proficient was already a euphemism.

Yan Shu felt that they were probably worried that she would delay her disciple, so she nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll trouble the two senior brothers.”

Leading them to the outside of Xiao Jihan’s room, Bing Shi’en and Liu Zhiqing calmly looked at the distance between the small house and the main hall, feeling somewhat satisfied in their hearts.

At this moment, Xiao Jihan came out to greet them. When he saw Yan Shu and the others, he first called her “Master” and then bowed, saying, “Greetings, Second and Third Senior Martial Uncles.”

Bing Shi’en and Liu Zhiqing made a sound of acknowledgment, and they carefully observed Xiao Jihan, which made them furrow their brows.

They were also present when they accepted disciples, and at that time, they thought this disciple had a decent appearance. However, no matter how decent his appearance was, it couldn’t change the fact that he had a pseudo-spirit root with four attributes.

Back then, they thought that Junior Junior Sister’s future was uncertain, so it would be more pleasant to have a disciple with a good appearance. They didn’t pay much attention to it.

But looking at it now, they felt that this disciple...

Is he too handsome?

Xiao Jihan’s growth environment and experiences have made him particularly sensitive to other people’s emotions, especially their likes and dislikes towards him.

Seeing Bing Shi’en and Liu Zhiqing furrow their brows, he understood that these two didn’t like him very much.
