Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Chapter 287 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 14

The path of the Returning Heaven Sect is progressing slowly. The disciples occasionally discuss the dangers of killing demons, and Wen Shubai, with a faint smile on his face, occasionally chimes in with a few words.

"That demon scared me half to death yesterday."

"What's there to be afraid of? Senior Brother is here."

They finally arrived at the Tianjue Sect. By this time, most of the disciples in the Tianjue Sect had already gone to sleep, and the disciples took their leave one by one.

"Senior brother, get some rest."

"See you tomorrow, senior brother."

The noise gradually subsided, and as the last whispers of conversation disappeared into the darkness, Wen Shubai's expression also gradually faded.

He walked back to the yard, and just as he was about to open the door, he stopped abruptly.

Moonlight bathed the corner, where several exquisite boxes were neatly arranged, each with a piece of paper tucked inside.

"Senior Brother, I bought this at a high price on the black market. There are only three in the world!"

Her handwriting is just like her personality; you can tell how excited she was when she wrote it just by looking at the words on the paper.

Wen Shubai bent down and picked up the box. Inside was a colorful tassel pendant with a colored glaze bead in the center and a small bell attached to the bottom.

He moved slightly, and the bell rang with a clear, crisp sound...

The sun rises very early at Tianjue Sect. The sunlight, filtered through the clouds, shines on the ancient pines, and the forest is shrouded in mist.

"Senior Brother!"

As soon as Wen Shubai opened the door, he saw Ji Chaoxi, who was panting heavily.

"Senior Brother, I've already trained beforehand."

Ji Chaoxi's face was a little red. She was panting and stretched out her red palms for him to see.

"I just fetched the water." She looked at him expectantly. "I haven't slacked off these past few days!"

Looking at her, Wen Shubai couldn't help but laugh: "Junior Sister is not only talented, but also works harder than the other disciples."

Ji Chaoxi was overjoyed, but she tried to suppress it, though the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Wen Shubai had been gone for several days, and Ji Chaoxi had so much to say to him.

"Senior Brother, I slipped and fell while fetching water yesterday..."

Wen Shubai frowned, but Ji Chaoxi said smugly, "But I held on!"

Don't underestimate the skills of this little butcher.

Wen Shubai felt somewhat helpless.

"Senior Brother, did you eat the snacks I gave you? They were so delicious, Liuli loved them too."

"Senior Brother, why does it take you so long to go down the mountain for training? Can you take me with you next time? I want to go for training too."

"I really want to train with the other disciples, Senior Brother. Can I learn what they practice too...?"

Wen Shubai listened to Ji Chaoxi's chattering and shook his head helplessly.

He should come back earlier next time, otherwise his junior sister might want to tell him everything that happened over the past few days.

Ji Chaoxi finally started talking about what happened last night. She was so tired from talking that her voice became hoarse.

She suddenly realized that she had talked too much.

"Senior Brother, am I being too noisy?" she asked him pleadingly.

Wen Shubai was taken aback. How did the topic shift from the crane to this?

He hesitated and said, "Junior Sister, didn't you just say that the crane was chasing you?"

Did he mishear?

Ji Chaoxi coughed lightly. So her senior brother was listening. She continued speaking.

The eldest brother has such a good temper; no wonder everyone likes him.

Her parents were slaughtering a pig and didn't have time to listen to her talk, but Liuli fell asleep while listening and praised her for her exceptional ability to lull people to sleep.

Sunlight bathed the entire training ground, and the bluestone slabs on the ground still carried a slight coolness as the other disciples practiced their swordsmanship.

Ji Chaoxi held the heavy sword, no longer swaying like she had on the first day; her swordplay was very steady.

Wen Shubai stood behind her, watching her sword-wielding posture. He didn't rush to correct her until he saw that she was using too much force, at which point he stepped forward.

"Junior sister, focus your energy in your dantian, don't just use your arm strength."

He approached her, reached his hands around her from behind, placed them on the back of her hands, and straightened the direction of the sword blade.

"Is that so?" Ji Chaoxi frowned slightly.

Wen Shubai said gently, "Press it down another half."

Ji Chaoxi kept practicing, while several disciples nearby had finished their practice and were already resting, watching Ji Chaoxi and the others practice with boredom.

Ji Chaoxi had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Her heavy sword drew an arc in the air, and her moves were wide and powerful, which was very physically demanding.

"Shift your weight backward and spin around." Wen Shubai stood to the side, watching Ji Chaoxi's movements intently.

Ji Chaoxi moved as she listened to Wen Shubai's words. The bluestone slabs under her feet were still a bit slippery, and her center of gravity suddenly swayed when she turned around.

"careful."

Wen Shubai took a step forward almost instinctively, and Ji Chaoxi, unable to stop herself, crashed directly into his arms, her hair brushing against the skin of his neck due to the violent movement.

Wen Shubai's body stiffened for a moment. He firmly supported Ji Chaoxi's hand, and after making sure she was steady, he took a half step back imperceptibly.

Ji Chaoxi said with a worried look, "Senior Brother, I don't seem to have any talent."

Wen Shubai chuckled softly: "Junior Sister memorized it after just one lesson; that certainly counts as talent."

Upon hearing Wen Shubai's words, Ji Chaoxi realized she had achieved her goal and immediately became energetic again.

Wen Shubai's eyes were full of smiles. If his junior sister just wanted him to praise her, she could have just said so.

At first, he thought Ji Chaoxi was genuinely insecure because she would say things like she wasn't good enough in front of him every day.

Later, Wen Shubai realized that Ji Chaoxi was just trying to flatter him. As long as he said what she wanted to hear, she would immediately become happy.

Once, Wen Shubai wanted to test what would happen if he didn't praise her, but Ji Chaoxi kept anxiously trying to steer Wen Shubai toward praising her, and she was extremely impatient.

The disciples nearby whispered among themselves.

"Why could she let her senior brother teach her alone for so long?"

Everyone knew that although the senior brother would teach them, he would only give them a brief overview. But he actually taught Ji Chaoxi step by step, and even taught her the most basic things.

"I heard she was taught by the eldest disciple and didn't have a master."

"No master? That's so strange..."

After Ji Chaoxi finished practicing her swordsmanship, she went to practice the Lotus Steps technique. Now, whenever she approaches the Jade Pool, the disciples around the pool automatically disperse.

After she finished practicing, the disciples continued their practice.

Now, the lotus-like steps were nothing to Ji Chaoxi, and she was overjoyed: "Senior Brother, you're completely dry now."

She remembered that every time she finished practicing with her senior brother, he would be covered in water.

Wen Shubai responded softly, "Junior Sister has made rapid progress."

At this point, Ji Chaoxi sighed, "If only I had spiritual roots, I would definitely be very powerful."

She's already this powerful even without spiritual roots.

Wen Shubai looked at Ji Chaoxi thoughtfully.

Ice Marrow Pill can indeed break through spiritual veins, but it is too precious and must be used in the mountain-protecting formation.
