Chapter 22: Being involved in the so-called peer pressure
Chapter 22 Being Caught in the So-called Peer Pressure
Chao Jianxue thought seriously about what he should say if Yu Wei came to give him a gift.
- Junior brother spent money, junior brother was thoughtful, how did junior brother know I like it, hahahaha... How to express gratitude to show his demeanor as a senior brother, and be polite and reserved, not to show himself too happy.
He really liked that incense burner.
Waited and waited, waited for three days, but Yu Wei did not come to find him.
Chao Jianxue understood again, Yu Wei just didn't prepare any for him. If not, then no, he can buy it himself next time he goes out, who cares about Yu Wei's gift.
The four were on their way back after practicing sword, Chao Jianxue and Junior Sister Qiu Shui were walking behind, listening to her talk about which scenic spots and places outside the sect were interesting.
Nanshan turned his head away and said to Qiushui: "You haven't been out much, how come you talk as if you have seen it with your own eyes?"
Qiushui said proudly: "I have read a lot of books, and it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles."
"Then you are talking about a lot of things, including the East Plain, West Continent, South Island, North Border, and Changtian in the Xuanzhen Realm. Have you read any story books or story collections?"
"Go to hell, I'm reading "Travels in the Mountains and Rivers of the Xuanzhen Realm". You are really uneducated." Qiushui sneered.
After spending these few days together, Chao Jianxue already knew that these two people were a pair of enemies who would quarrel whenever they got together. When they learned that Chao Jianxue had reached the Golden Core stage, they also changed their views on him and became a little more familiar with him recently.
After the quarrel, Qiushui continued to sell him a good deal: "Xizhou Youmeng Sanqiandu, that is a good place, which makes many boys and girls dream about it. There are spring scenery all year round, and there are also beautiful women. Hehuan Sect and Qiqiao Sect are both near Youmeng Sanqiandu.
I heard from the senior sister of the main peak that there was a disciple who stayed there for twenty years during the sect exchange. He came back crying and shouting that he wanted to quit Wuwei Sect, so the exchange activity was cancelled."
Just by listening to the name, you can know that it is an extremely romantic and luxurious place. Chao Jianxue is yearning for it.
Qiushui said: "I don't know if Master has the time to take us out to see, or just give us a long vacation!"
Nanshan said: "When you reach the level of transformation, you can go wherever you want."
"I'm afraid Master has no time to spare recently. He failed in retreat last time, and he has to find time to retreat to break through the early stage of Mahayana. Maybe he will retreat for fifty years."
The length of this retreat is really not enough for one or two hundred years. How many people died in the retreat cave.
But because of this, the years in Xuanzhen Realm are sometimes long and short, and the contradictions are confusing.
Nanshan and Qiushui separated one after another, and Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei had to walk the last section of the path together.
Yu Wei did not say anything about their hustle and bustle just now, as if he didn't care or was not curious about the outside world.
Chao Jianxue was still thinking about the incense burner in his heart, but how could he bring it up without Yu Wei saying anything, so he had to give up and secretly remember Yu Wei. He
was about to see the eaves built by Qingxue.
"Tomorrow, I will also go into seclusion."
Chao Jianxue thought he had heard it wrong. Who wants to go into seclusion? What is the seclusion?
"Huh?"
Yu Wei said calmly: "I have already told my master about the seclusion. After the secret realm that day, my Nascent Soul began to sprout. Starting tomorrow, I will go into seclusion."
What!
Three words rose in Chao Jianxue's heart: Conspire me again!
Why didn't he say it when he asked him if he had made any progress before? Now he is going to go into seclusion? Yu Wei is such a taciturn person who keeps half of what he says hidden!
It's just like when you tell me that you haven't worked hard, but you suddenly hand in a book of homework that's beyond the syllabus.
With the pressure from his peers and the so-called ascension to slaughter the world, Chao Jianxue's anxiety was rising.
He gritted his teeth and smiled hard: "Congratulations."
Yu Wei looked into his eyes: "At least three months, at most a year."
What does this mean to him? Isn't this putting pressure on him? In a year, Chao Jianxue didn't know if he could go from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage.
Chao Jianxue barely maintained a hypocritical smile: "Oh, I know."
Yu Wei: "Well, see you later, senior brother."
After that, he left without looking back, leaving Chao Jianxue alone in the wind.
A few days later, Li Zhenzhen came to see him. Chao Jianxue was anxiously practicing swordsmanship in Qingxuezhu, and he was dizzy and dizzy, leaning on a recliner to drink tea.
"You're late, your thigh is in seclusion." He slowly rocked the chair and said sarcastically.
Li Zhenzhen was not polite either. He took a big step, dragged out a stool from his room, and sat opposite him.
"Brother, I feel miserable!"
Chao Jianxue propped up his chin: "Who doesn't feel miserable? I feel miserable too."
Li Zhenzhen said: "When I didn't think about it before, I just practiced peacefully. Now I just want to find a place in the human world to retire. There is no goal at all."
"You want to be a deserter!" Chao Jianxue glared.
"What else can we do!"
Chao Jianxue had thought about this problem carefully in the past few days. He took a sip of tea and said: "Kill him."
Li Zhenzhen was scared: "No, no! Think about it, he is the protagonist of this world, how could he die, and then we will lose our lives."
Knowing that he would say this, Chao Jianxue calmly said the real plan A: "Then do your best to stop him from ascending and delay the progress of the plot until you and I find a chance to escape."
"But, you really don't remember why he slaughtered Xuanzhenjie?"
Li Zhenzhen shook her head blankly. "How could the protagonist have such an ending? Did Xuanzhenjie do something to let him down?" Li Zhenzhen shook her head blankly.
"How could the protagonist have such an ending? Did Xuanzhenjie do something to let him down?"
Li Zhenzhen shook her head blankly.
Chao Jianxue gave him a cold look: "Hey, what's the use of you!"
Li Zhenzhen asked suspiciously: "Are you sure you can delay the progress of development?"
"Of course."
It was like he had intervened in the secret realm of Shuiyue Valley and seized the opportunity. If he hadn't come here, the opportunity would have definitely been given to the protagonist. Wouldn't this have changed the progress?
Having made up his mind, Chao Jianxue was not worried at all. At most, he could play the role of a bad guy, hinder Yu Wei's practice, and delay his ascension.
By the way, he followed Yu Wei to pick up the protagonist's halo and understand why he wanted to slaughter the Xuanzhen Realm.
Li Zhenzhen was deeply worried about his idea: "Your idea is very dangerous. You are not a villain, are you?"
Chao Jianxue was happy: "Even if you are a villain, I will not be a villain! How can it be so easy to be a villain? Yu Wei has the same level of cultivation as me?"
Li Zhenzhen shook his head: "That's true."
"Relax." Chao Jianxue comforted him, "Since you are here, you should make the best of it. You are already a Yuanying, and you are also a master. You should continue to work hard!"
"I'd better stick to my original intention of being a younger brother." He was unhappy.
As he was talking, Li Zhenzhen's jade card made a sound of transmission. It was Xie Bingyuan who asked him to go back.
Chao Jianxue teased: "Brother Zhenzhen, you are busy enough, huh?"
Li Zhenzhen looked like she had a headache: "You don't know, my master is a hands-off boss, I take care of my younger brothers and sisters like an old mother, I really want to escape down the mountain."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
"Bah!" Li Zhenzhen hurried away.
The leaves turned yellow and fell in a blink of an eye. Yu Wei showed no sign of coming out of retreat, but Chao Jianxue had an unexpected good thing happen.
The martial arts essence he realized from Qianli Ming's mind method finally opened up.
With just a thought, Ming Qianli would be transformed into a sharp object like a moon sickle, swirling and staying in the palm of his hand.
Mu Yuan took a look and said in surprise: "This golden ring was originally a top-grade magic weapon. It is not considered a waste if it is transformed into a weapon. But this is not a sword, but a moon wheel magic weapon driven by spiritual power. What should I do?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's learn Wuwei swordsmanship first. The sword and the magic weapon are of the same nature. As long as you learn the sword well and understand the control of spiritual power, this thing will be self-taught."
With the swordsmanship, another three months passed.
This morning, Chao Jianxue pushed the door open and went out. It was actually a fine snowfall.
He sneezed and hurried back to put on his fur coat. Nanshan and Qiushui both said that the eldest brother was weak. Chao Jianxue chuckled twice and couldn't take it off for the time being.
The three of them suddenly had an idea. While Mu Yuan and Yu Wei were not there, there was no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey was the king. They set up a platform on the moon viewing platform to make a hot pot, which was very bold.
Then they casually scooped up the snow on the tree to drink. Under the heat and ice, Chao Jianxue's teeth began to ache again.
At that time, he had felt pain after eating the candied haws on the Qixi Festival. Chao Jianxue loved sweet food and had eaten a lot of sweet snacks in the past few months. Suddenly, she came to him to settle the consequences
. So he couldn't eat anymore and just sat aside and sighed.
He was wearing a fox fur coat and facing the path leading to the moon viewing platform. Because it was in the leeward side, he looked like a silver-gray ball from a distance.
Nanshan and Qiushui were chatting about everything under the sun, but suddenly they got stuck.
Chao Jianxue turned his head and saw the person who came in a thin plain dress, but it was hard to hide the brilliance of a fairy.
"..."
-
Chao Jianxue felt that she was going to be blinded by the light.
"Junior brother! You are out of retreat!" Nanshan was annoyed and tried to hide a table of food.
But he thought again, junior brother is just a junior brother, not the master, what are they afraid of! So he called Yu Wei to come up.
Yu Wei looked at the table of food, but in the end he didn't say anything and sat down next to them naturally.
Chao Jianxue couldn't help but ask him, "Did Junior Brother succeed in his retreat?"
He felt that he had said something nonsense. Just looking at the spiritual light emanating from Yu Wei, even a blind man could see that it was a great success, and he was estimated to have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Yu Wei nodded and said, "Late stage of the Nascent Soul."
Chao Jianxue's hand trembled, and the cup in his hand fell, rolling on the edge of the table, almost falling, and was caught by Yu Wei.
Qiu Shui said, "It's a great joy! Come on, Junior Brother, you haven't eaten for a long time, eat something!"
Nanshan was also stunned with a sense of surprise and pride, and smiled like a fool.
In one retreat, he actually jumped two levels. I have never heard of such a thing.
Yu Wei was also happy, but he was not too complacent. He tasted a sweet and crisp dish very measuredly.
Seeing that Chao Jianxue's bowl was empty, he helped him get one.
Chao Jianxue lost interest: "...No, my tooth hurts."
Nanshan said, "Why don't you let your junior brother take a look for you?"
Chao Jianxue said in surprise: "He is a dentist? How can he know this? Hey, what's so good about it? It's probably just a bad tooth."
Nanshan said, "Junior brother knows everything. It won't cost you a thing to take a look."
Yu Wei: "Let me take a look."
Since he had spoken, Chao Jianxue opened his mouth symbolically and wanted to close it immediately, but Yu Wei reached out and grabbed his cheek and told him to look up.
What is this? It's like he is a child.
Chao Jianxue's face was hot, and he didn't know if he blushed.
This action was a little embarrassing, and the force on his cheek could not be ignored. But when he looked at Nanshan and Qiu Shui from the corner of his eye, they looked calm, as if it was normal for fellow disciples to care about each other like this.
Chao Jianxue felt awkward and didn't dare to look at Yu Wei at all, so he turned his head away quickly.
Yu Wei said again: "Nothing is bad."
Chao Jianxue rubbed her face and said: "Then don't worry about it."
After they finished eating, Yu Wei took out a piece of letter paper.
"When I was leaving the customs, the letter came from the messenger bird."
Chao Jianxue saw the familiar name and saw that it was Hua Ze.
Is the Hehuan Sect looking for Yu Wei?
