Chapter 118: I Didn’t Expect It
The little guy impatiently ran toward Lin Qingyue. Ye Jingxian helplessly stopped it. “Be good, don’t move around.”
Lin Qingyue came down from the Sword Dueling Platform. Bai Dou leaped into his arms with a whoosh, gesticulating wildly at him.
“I remember telling you to be good before I went into seclusion.” He tapped Bai Dou’s forehead, really wanting to lecture it, but its pitiful appearance made him unable to harden his heart to scold it.
“Bai Dou, from today on, your snacks are gone.”
Hearing this, Bai Dou’s small mouth flattened, unhappy.
To teach it a lesson, Lin Qingyue ruthlessly ignored its acting cute. “Even crying is useless. Also, don’t think about asking Eldest Senior Brother for help.”
“Eldest Senior Brother is not allowed to speak for it, nor secretly feed it spirit fruits.”
Ye Jingxian stepped forward. “I will watch over Bai Dou’s cultivation from now on. Little Junior Brother, rest assured.”
Hearing him say this, Lin Qingyue finally let Bai Dou off.
On the platform, Cheng Hui lowered his eyes in silence, listening to the whispers of the surrounding sect brothers. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Eldest Senior Brother talking with Lin Qingyue, and unexpectedly seeing Master not far away, he felt even more ashamed to face anyone.
It was just a contest with Cheng Hui. Others wanted to approach Lin Qingyue to exchange pointers on sword techniques. Seeing Ye Jingxian finish speaking, a disciple couldn’t help but step forward.
“Junior Brother Lin, you improved so fast. We Senior Brothers can’t catch up to you. You’re really too amazing.”
He spoke excitedly, then began asking about the sword intent he had comprehended. Lin Qingyue smiled. “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Seeing this, other brothers stepped forward one after another. Ye Jingxian watched Lin Qingyue talking to everyone and silently walked a bit further away, reducing his presence.
Only when everyone had asked enough did Lin Qingyue extricate himself and return to Guicang Peak.
After he finished fighting Cheng Hui, Ye Zhanxiu appeared.
In the main hall of Guicang Peak, he looked down at the two disciples. “You fought a battle. Is the matter resolved?”
“Reporting to Master, it is resolved.”
Two different voices rang out. The shorter sentence was said by Lin Qingyue.
He looked at Ye Zhanxiu and said seriously, “Master, Third Senior Brother thinks this matter is resolved, but I do not.”
“Taking advantage of my absence to bully Bai Dou—if Eldest Senior Brother hadn’t found it, Bai Dou wouldn’t be like this now. Yes, I vented anger for Bai Dou. But I want to know, why did Third Senior Brother do this?”
Cheng Hui lowered his head and didn’t speak, but Lin Qingyue stared at him. “Third Senior Brother, exactly why did you treat Bai Dou like this?”
If he didn’t say, Lin Qingyue insisted on asking until it came out.
Cheng Hui kept his head down in silence. Lin Qingyue’s face was full of an expression that said he needed a reason, that he didn’t understand.
Ye Zhanxiu also knew the reason within. He also wanted to know exactly why, but Cheng Hui just wouldn’t say, not even in front of Ye Zhanxiu.
“Since Third Junior Brother won’t say, I will say it,” Ye Jingxian spoke up.
Hearing this, Cheng Hui looked at him in astonishment, his eyes full of pleading. Ye Jingxian didn’t accept his plea, simply recounting the matter calmly.
Ye Zhanxiu’s face darkened as he looked at Cheng Hui. “The matter of the spiritual pet was already clarified back then. Do you think Master is partial to your Little Junior Brother?”
“Master, this disciple absolutely had no such thought,” Cheng Hui said hurriedly. “After Junior Brother Yun finished speaking, this disciple also didn’t know what exactly was going on, so I thought of verifying it.”
“Bai Dou reacted to Junior Brother Yun’s wooden ball at that time, circling it constantly and sniffing endlessly. That’s why I let Bai Dou go find Junior Brother Yun. I didn’t expect Bai Dou would meet with an accident and get hurt.”
He didn’t want Junior Brother Yun to be disappointed. Moreover, he had already verified it; Bai Dou had that kind of reaction to Junior Brother Yun’s things. He just wanted Bai Dou to meet Junior Brother Yun.
Lin Qingyue wanted to laugh after hearing his words. “Why would my spiritual pet want to see Yun Jinzhou?”
Cheng Hui opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. Seeing this, the corner of Lin Qingyue’s mouth curled into a sneer. “Third Senior Brother wants to be a good person, saving Bai Dou who was snatched to Guicang Peak by a villain like me, and conveniently helping Junior Brother Yun, this poor person bullied by us. You really are kind.”
When it came to being sarcastic, Lin Qingyue handled it with ease.
Cheng Hui didn’t know what else he could say. Lin Qingyue’s words were irrefutable. In front of Master and his Senior Brother and Sister, he lost face completely.
Wen Hongyu, who was always gentle, knew what he had done and couldn’t help but speak. “Third Junior Brother, things turned out differently from what you thought. You must be baffled.”
Cheng Hui looked up at her. “Second Senior Sister, I really didn’t intend to do anything to Bai Dou.”
“I know.”
“Second Senior Sister believes me?”
Wen Hongyu gave a hum of affirmation. A trace of a smile finally appeared on Cheng Hui’s face, but her next words froze his smile.
“I know Third Junior Brother didn’t intend to do anything, you just questioned that Master and Eldest Senior Brother would be unreasonably partial to Little Junior Brother, just unconditionally believed Junior Brother Yun, and just didn’t trust us, that’s all.”
Cheng Hui wanted to say it wasn’t like that, he didn’t.
“It’s human nature to doubt; people will be partial to their own. But Third Junior Brother never asked Master, never asked Eldest Senior Brother or us. To just believe someone else’s words like that—that is the reason for our disappointment.”
Seeing he still didn’t understand, only offering pale defenses—how could this appease Little Junior Brother and Eldest Senior Brother’s anger? Wen Hongyu simply pointed it out to him.
Cheng Hui was stunned. He wanted to say something more, but she spoke no further.
His eyes reddened. “But Bai Dou really reacted to Junior Brother Yun’s wooden ball. I didn’t lie.”
Luo You explained for him, “Third Senior Brother saw Bai Dou liked the wooden ball, that’s why he misunderstood. He wasn’t doubting everyone.”
He was clumsy with words, but still tried his best to explain for Cheng Hui, hoping they understood his Third Senior Brother just misunderstood and had no other intentions; these were unintentional mistakes.
Watching his Fourth Senior Brother racking his brains to mediate, Lin Qingyue just asked one sentence, “What wooden ball? How was it determined to be Yun Jinzhou’s?”
Luo You had a brainwave. “If we go with Third Senior Brother to confront Junior Brother Yun, we can clear Third Senior Brother’s name.”
Lin Qingyue laughed inside. His Fourth Senior Brother was truly a genius; he finally said what Lin Qingyue wanted to hear.
He looked at Cheng Hui. “Since that’s the case, let’s go ask Junior Brother Yun. Is it really his wooden ball? Why treat Bai Dou like this?”
“It might not necessarily be Junior Brother Yun who did it,” Cheng Hui said.
Lin Qingyue: “If it’s not him, then it’s you. I don’t care who bullied Bai Dou; whoever bullied it must pay the price.”
Ye Zhanxiu kept a straight face, drinking tea slowly, wanting to see what Cheng Hui would do.
Cheng Hui didn’t believe it was Yun Jinzhou. Now there was no evidence proving it was Yun Jinzhou, so they couldn’t just go to his door directly.
Seeing Cheng Hui unwilling to go find Yun Jinzhou, Luo You frowned and persuaded, “Third Senior Brother, you trust Junior Brother Yun this much, but others don’t. Only by asking can we prove Junior Brother Yun’s innocence. How about we go ask him?”
Angered by these words, Cheng Hui didn’t want to speak at all, turning his head aside.
Ye Zhanxiu slowly put down his teacup. “Not bad. One takes responsibility for one’s actions; that counts as being a man.”
He said to Lin Qingyue, “Master will punish your Third Senior Brother. You also made a move yourself; if you have any thoughts, you can say them.”
Lin Qingyue: “Master, that depends on how you punish him. If it’s too light, this disciple won’t accept it.”
Ye Zhanxiu: “This matter hurt Bai Dou. Twenty lashes. No need to go to the Tower of Trials this time; go to the Cliff of Reflection. Go to the Cliff of Reflection after the competition. Xiao Hui’s temper and state of mind need some tempering.”
“If Master does this, do you accept?”
Even if he didn’t accept, it wouldn’t do. He had to be punished properly.
Cheng Hui couldn’t believe his heart. “Master, you’re making me go to the Cliff of Reflection?”
“You don’t accept?” Ye Zhanxiu kept a straight face. If he really said he didn’t accept in the next second, he would personally drag him to the Cliff of Reflection.
Not only that, before dragging him over, he would take him to Sword Dao Peak.
He wanted to see just how stupid this disciple could be.
Ye Zhanxiu looked at him. Cheng Hui remained silent, lowering his head to accept this punishment.
This Senior Brother of his really liked Yun Jinzhou; he wouldn’t go find him even now. Fourth Senior Brother’s assist didn’t work either.
“Master, Third Senior Brother has been punished. The person who bled Bai Dou—this disciple also wants him to apologize and accept punishment,” Lin Qingyue spoke up.
Ye Zhanxiu: “We have no evidence; how can we find him? Next time there’s a chance, Master will let you beat him up. The Sect Competition happens to be soon; Master will let you match up against him then.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue nodded. “Alright.”
He would have plenty of opportunities in the future. Taking Bai Dou’s blood, targeting it—how could he let him have an easy time?
In fact, even if they went to find Yun Jinzhou, there was no way to confront him. Coincidentally, Yun Jinzhou happened to be in seclusion advancing his cultivation. Just say, wasn’t this coincidence too convenient?
Hearing Yun Jinzhou was in seclusion advancing to the Golden Core stage, Cheng Hui felt astonishment mixed with disappointment and sadness he hadn’t even noticed himself.
“Junior Brother Yun.”
Intercepted by Cheng Hui, a trace of surprise flashed in Yun Jinzhou’s eyes, quickly replaced by a smile. “Senior Brother Cheng, why are you here?”
“That day I lured Bai Dou to find you. Did you see it?”
“What is Senior Brother saying?” Yun Jinzhou looked blank, not knowing what he was talking about.
“You said Bai Dou was yours. I lured it to find you; did you not see it?” Cheng Hui asked. “I picked up the wooden ball you threw away that day. Did you really not see Bai Dou?”
Yun Jinzhou was baffled. “Senior Brother Cheng, what are you talking about? What wooden ball, what Bai Dou? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“A wooden ball woven from vines. Does Junior Brother not remember?” Cheng Hui looked into his eyes.
Yun Jinzhou smiled, looking innocent. “Senior Brother Cheng, I don’t have any wooden ball. I really don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“It was you who said Bai Dou was your spiritual pet, that you missed it very much and wanted to see it. It was you…” He couldn’t continue, staring straight at him. “You said it.”
Yun Jinzhou frowned. “Senior Brother Cheng, Junior Brother really doesn’t understand what you’re saying. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving first. Master and the others are still waiting for me.”
He walked past him. Cheng Hui suddenly spoke, “So you lied to me.”
Yun Jinzhou didn’t look back. “Senior Brother, did you misunderstand something? I have things to do, leaving first.”
He still had to find Senior Brother Ming; he had no time to chat idly with him.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
Ye Jingxian and Lin Qingyue watched them from a place unseen by the two, listening to their entire conversation. Lin Qingyue crossed his arms, speaking playfully, “How interesting. What is the relationship between Third Senior Brother and Junior Brother Yun? So hard to guess!”
“Truly touching.”
Ye Jingxian looked at him, amused in his heart.
Ye Jingxian had already told him about the origin between them before, so Lin Qingyue knew. That was why he dragged Ye Jingxian to follow Cheng Hui, just to see what he would say to Yun Jinzhou. Maybe they could catch him in the act.
Who knew Yun Jinzhou was so cautious? Look at how heartbroken Cheng Hui was now.
He insisted he understood nothing. Cheng Hui’s expression was simply too rich; Lin Qingyue watched with a cheerful mood.
“Eldest Senior Brother, since we can’t do it openly, let’s play dirty.”
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him. “Do you want to join me? Don’t forget, Bai Dou is also your spiritual pet. We agreed to raise Bai Dou together back then. Besides, Bai Dou relies on you so much; you couldn’t possibly let it be sad, right?”
If Eldest Senior Brother dared not agree to accompany him, then he wouldn’t let Bai Dou acknowledge him as an owner in the future.
Lin Qingyue huffed coldly in his heart. As long as he dared say no, he really would ignore him.
Seeing him like this, with every expression displayed on his face, understandable at a glance, Ye Jingxian agreed softly, “Little Junior Brother, Senior Brother hasn’t forgotten. I won’t let Bai Dou suffer grievance for nothing.”
“That’s more like it.”
If he didn’t join him, Lin Qingyue would have done it himself anyway. It was just that with Ye Jingxian, things would go smoother. Not only would no traces be left, but no one would suspect him.
Action followed words. Lin Qingyue pulled Ye Jingxian along to chase after Yun Jinzhou, not giving Cheng Hui a single glance.
He pulled out a sack, letting Ye Jingxian put it over Yun Jinzhou’s head, while he did the beating himself.
Ye Jingxian was stunned after hearing his plan, then laughed. He reached out and patted his head. “Little Junior Brother is truly kind.”
Lin Qingyue was used to him patting his head from time to time. “Eldest Senior Brother, I said don’t touch randomly, you messed up my hairstyle. Be serious, hurry up, someone might come soon.”
With Ye Jingxian making the move, the task was naturally completed simply. Lin Qingyue sneered in his heart, pulled out the baseball bat he had prepared long ago from his storage bag, tested the feel—very nice.
“Ah, who is it?”
Bang bang bang…
Lin Qingyue’s bat struck up, down, left, and right.
“Ah!!!”
The next second, the sound vanished. Yun Jinzhou was silenced, leaving only the bang bang bang of the bat. If not for the fear of being discovered and leaving evidence, Lin Qingyue would have let Bai Dou take the stick and hit him a few times too.
After he finished beating him, he handed the stick to Ye Jingxian, signaling him to hit a couple of times too.
Ye Jingxian: “…”
Lin Qingyue shoved the stick into his hand. As an accomplice, of course, they had to act together; he wouldn’t hog such a satisfying thing to himself.
Looking at the stick in his hand, Ye Jingxian felt both amused and helpless. Especially under Little Junior Brother’s expectant and teasing gaze, beneath those bright and beautiful eyes, he took the stick.
Watching him take action, Lin Qingyue felt extremely physically and mentally refreshed. He was excited and joyful, the smile on his face brilliant, the corners of his mouth curving up more and more.
After the two finished beating the person, they left silently. Yun Jinzhou, who had been beaten twice in a row, finally broke free from the sack. He was furious to the extreme, the anger in his chest rushing to the top of his head.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Throwing away the sack covering him, he tossed it to the ground with resentment and disgust. The next moment, the sack burned and vanished completely.
“Bitch, bitch, bitch! Who is it? Which bitch dares to treat me like this!!!”
