Chapter 67 - 65: Could it be a misunderstanding?
Chapter 67: Chapter 65: Could it be a misunderstanding?
Yin Yu flashed a wicked smile and patted Mu Jiangyue’s head: "Little Jiang Yue, it’s almost our turn. If you can’t even pass the first challenge, you’re not going to come crying to me, are you?"
Mu Jiangyue stamped her foot coquettishly: "Don’t jinx me, I’ll definitely make it through!"
"That’s not a given," Yin Yu chuckled mischievously: "But even if you don’t make it, I’ll still take you as my little wife."
"You... shameless." Mu Jiangyue was both embarrassed and annoyed, and couldn’t help but punch his chest with her little fists: "Don’t talk nonsense from now on. I don’t want to be your little wife."
Yin Yu grabbed her little fists, his smile devious: "Is that so? Then I’ll just have to take you by force, and make you my little wife no matter what."
Mu Jiangyue struggled a bit but couldn’t break free.
Her face turned red, and she simply stopped struggling, just glaring at him angrily.
Yin Yu held her small hand and brazenly started kneading it.
Mu Jiangyue didn’t resist at all.
The two of them were engaging in playful banter.
Shi Nian quickly slapped on two Concealing Talismans, then grabbed Lu Xingzhi’s arm: "Senior Brother, calm down, please, calm down!"
Just now, Lu Xingzhi, in his anger, had used some mana and nearly caused the Concealing Talisman’s effect to vanish. Only Shi Nian’s timely action prevented their tracks from being revealed.
Lu Xingzhi said angrily: "What an unreasonable scoundrel! Jiang Yue has been so wronged, how can I stand by? Junior Sister, you must leave at once. The following matter has nothing to do with you. That man, I will definitely discipline him properly!"
Even if it meant facing punishment from the Sect afterward, he was willing to take the risk.
What kind of man is he if he can’t even protect his own woman!
Lu Xingzhi’s eyes were beginning to turn red.
Shi Nian was hesitant to speak.
She really wanted to ask Lu Xingzhi.
Can’t he see that Mu Jiangyue is actually enjoying this?
But seeing Lu Xingzhi’s state, she didn’t dare provoke him further and quickly said: "Senior Brother, of course we can’t let Sister Mu be wronged, but there’s no need to sacrifice ourselves. Just wait a moment."
Shi Nian stealthily took out a Flying Needle and threw it with just physical strength, without using any mana.
Although no mana was added, once the Flying Needle was thrown, its momentum was astonishing. In just the blink of an eye, the needle pierced through Yin Yu’s arm and then, with a series of bangs, burst through dozens of trees before landing far away on the ground.
Shi Nian’s mouth dropped open.
??
Could it be this outrageous?
She didn’t use any mana at all.
It can’t be, can it?
She didn’t just cripple Long Aotian, did she?
Shi Nian quickly looked towards Yin Yu.
The hand that Yin Yu was pierced in had already turned to dust.
Yin Yu was rolling on the ground, howling madly, a clear sign of his agony.
"Yin Yu, Yin Yu, are you okay?" Mu Jiangyue asked anxiously, her face tense. She squatted down and almost cried out excitedly: "Someone, help! Someone’s hurt! Quick, someone come!"
As Mu Jiangyue cried for help, tears flowed down her face: "Yin Yu, please be okay, you must be okay! If anything happens to you, I... I don’t want to live either."
Shi Nian silently glanced at Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi’s face was ashen. He watched his fiancée crying her heart out over another man, and for a moment he was so utterly shocked that his mind went blank of any emotion.
"Second Senior Brother..." Shi Nian looked at Lu Xingzhi with some concern.
Lu Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Jiang Yue is just too kind."
Even he found it hard to believe what he said.
But what else could he think?
"Yes, yes, that must be it," Shi Nian nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile.
The members of the Divine Martial Sect in charge of the assessment heard the screams and quickly rushed over.
Since Yin Yu was injured here, a Disciple quickly took out an Elixir for Yin Yu to swallow.
The effects of a Cultivator’s Elixir are extraordinary.
Yin Yu’s arm quickly grew back.
"What happened just now?" A Disciple inquired.
Yin Yu shook his head, pale: "I don’t know."
Another Disciple came back with a needle in hand: "It’s a needle."
After a careful inspection,
No manna fluctuations were found on this needle; it was merely an ordinary needle.
A needle meant for mortals, capable of such immense power?
A Disciple took the needle and went to report it.
The rest continued to maintain the order of the assessment.
It wasn’t a person but a great door that tested for the Spirit Root; newcomers only needed to pass through this door for the results to become clear.
Those without a Spirit Root would be transported out of Moran Mountain on the spot.
Only those with a Spirit Root could pass through this door.
"Brother Yin Yu." Mu Jiangyue wiped away her tears: "I’m glad you’re alright. I... I was so worried."
The corner of Yin Yu’s lips twitched.
The intense pain just now still left him feeling a chill to the bone.
But hearing Mu Jiangyue say so, he found it oddly gratifying.
He pulled Mu Jiangyue into his arms and flashed a wicked smile: "And you say you won’t be my little wife?"
"You’re bad." Mu Jiangyue blushed even more, but no longer retorted.
Shi Nian glanced over at Lu Xingzhi again.
Lu Xingzhi had lost his initial anger, instead, he was frowning, seemingly contemplating some perplexing issue.
Soon, it was Yin Yu and Mu Jiangyue’s turn; both of them possessed Spirit Roots and easily stepped through the door.
Once everyone had been assessed.
Out of tens of thousands of people, only five hundred remained.
The elimination rate was frightening.
The assessing Disciples led these five hundred to a secret land for the Heavenly Ladder test.
Lu Xingzhi and Shi Nian quietly followed behind.
Perhaps because of the incident where Yin Yu got hurt, the bond between these two seemed to have grown stronger.
While climbing the Heavenly Ladder, the two even held hands, occasionally exchanging smiles that showed their mutual understanding.
Shi Nian observed Lu Xingzhi’s calm demeanor.
For some reason, she felt regret welling up inside her.
She couldn’t help but wonder.
Should she have... not brought her second senior brother here?
Even if she wanted her second senior brother to see Mu Jiangyue’s true face, perhaps she should have taken it slow.
Presenting the cruelest truth in the most unexpected way right before her senior brother.
Could he... really bear it?
"Senior brother, shall we... leave?" Shi Nian cautiously proposed.
Lu Xingzhi quietly looked at Mu Jiangyue’s receding figure, then said: "Okay."
The two left silently.
Shi Nian, concerned about him, followed Lu Xingzhi all the way to his residence.
Lu Xingzhi stood in the courtyard for a while, then with a wave of his hand, he instantaneously gathered all the flowers in the yard.
Shi Nian was stunned for a moment: "Senior brother, when did you plant these flowers?"
Just a month ago, they weren’t there.
Lu Xingzhi smiled: "It’s nothing. Jiang Yue likes flowers, I thought it might make her happy."
Shi Nian suddenly felt a lump in her throat and became speechless.
"Junior sister, do you think... it could all be a misunderstanding?" Lu Xingzhi suddenly asked.
A misunderstanding?
What kind of misunderstanding could there be!
Shi Nian’s lips quivered, but she softly said: "Perhaps."
She knew all too well.
She should’ve helped Lu Xingzhi see the truth about that woman immediately.
But then again.
Seeing her senior brother like this.
She simply...
Couldn’t bring herself to be harsh.
After all, he was her always impeccably graceful second senior brother!
He shouldn’t...
He shouldn’t be subjected to such humiliation!
