Chapter 116: However Much It Was Hurt, You Will Pay Back the Same Amount
“Eldest Senior Brother.”
Standing three zhang (approx. 10 meters) away from him, Cheng Hui looked at the injured Bai Dou with some surprise and a hint of shock in his eyes, saying dryly, “Bai Dou has been found.”
Ye Jingxian withdrew his gaze indifferently and continued applying medicine to Bai Dou.
As a spiritual creature, it grew in the likeness of a human, with two small hands and two feet. There was a very deep gash on Bai Dou’s wrist; because it had struggled, the cut was jagged, a small section of the root branching from its hand had been severed, and there was another cut beside it.
Perhaps due to the pain, Bai Dou pouted and silently shed golden tears, crying even more sadly because Ye Jingxian was ignoring it.
It kept looking at him with its not-very-large eyes, crying while watching him, seeing that he wasn’t comforting it like usual.
Ye Jingxian’s movements in applying the medicine were gentle and fast. The expression on his face was very solemn, unchanging from beginning to end.
Only after finishing the application did his expression soften. He said gently, “You didn’t listen to what I said before. Now that this has happened, I won’t comfort you. Remember this lesson. If you run out with someone carelessly next time, it’s uncertain whether we can rush back to save you.”
After he finished speaking, Bai Dou felt even more aggrieved. Ye Jingxian continued, “I will supervise your cultivation from now on. Being cute and acting shameless won’t work.”
After Cheng Hui spoke earlier, his Eldest Senior Brother had only given him a faint glance and ignored him. With his understanding of the other party, this meant he was suspected.
“Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Third Junior Brother is still willing to call me Eldest Senior Brother? I didn’t expect that. It seems you don’t hold a grudge against me.”
Blocked by his words, Cheng Hui opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Seeing his emotionless eyes, he panicked inside and called out dryly again, “Eldest Senior Brother.”
“You blame me?”
“Shouldn’t I blame Third Junior Brother?”
“Senior Brother, you know me. I couldn’t possibly do something like this,” Cheng Hui defended himself.
Ye Jingxian took in all his expressions and movements. “From the time you entered Guicang Peak, while Martial Uncle the Sect Leader sought Master, it was I who led you all in cultivation and answered your doubts. As a Senior Brother, I believe I fulfilled a Senior Brother’s responsibilities. Though not meticulously attentive to every detail, I cannot be considered to have done nothing.”
“Eldest Senior Brother.” Cheng Hui’s throat was dry, panic flashing in his eyes. “Why are you suddenly saying these things? I don’t blame you.”
“I don’t think you are in a position to blame me.” Ye Jingxian interrupted him. “Although Bai Dou is Little Junior Brother’s spiritual pet, the entire Guicang Peak knows Bai Dou counts as my spiritual pet too. Usually, Little Junior Brother is careless, and I am the one taking care of Bai Dou.”
“But what did you do?” His eyes stared sharply at him, questioning him sentence by sentence.
Cheng Hui wanted to say it wasn’t him, but Ye Jingxian’s eyes seemed to see through everything. He knew that even if he didn’t do it, as long as Eldest Senior Brother believed it, regardless of whether it was true or not, he would be discarded in Eldest Senior Brother’s heart.
He became anxious. “Eldest Senior Brother, it wasn’t me. You know me; I admit I was prejudiced against Little Junior Brother before, but I wouldn’t harm Bai Dou just to retaliate against Little Junior Brother.”
“Naturally, you didn’t do it to retaliate against Little Junior Brother.” Ye Jingxian’s phoenix eyes locked firmly onto him. “Of course I know you. Precisely because I know you, I know Third Junior Brother was once injured outside the sect and saved by someone. You remember that person’s kindness, have a good impression of him, want to repay the favor, and want to treat him well—there is no problem with that.”
In fact, he was somewhat disappointed in his heart. “But for the sake of his favor, you would do anything, even knowing Bai Dou is also my spiritual pet, you would still lay a hand on it. You want to repay someone else’s kindness a hundredfold, but what about mine? Even if Third Junior Brother doesn’t take it to heart, why must you trample on it so?”
Cheng Hui found it hard to defend himself now. He felt somewhat hurt and said anxiously, “Eldest Senior Brother, I didn’t lay a hand on Bai Dou. You know I wouldn’t move against a powerless creature like that.”
“You didn’t make a move yourself, you just delivered it into someone else’s hands. What is the difference between that and doing it yourself?”
Cheng Hui really fell silent this time, utterly astonished. “Junior Brother Yun said Bai Dou was his spiritual pet, just snatched away.”
He looked toward Bai Dou. “Moreover, Bai Dou itself was interested in Junior Brother Yun’s things and was close to him too.”
Cheng Hui took out that wooden ball. “Eldest Senior Brother, I really didn’t lie to you.”
Ye Jingxian didn’t give him another glance, taking Bai Dou and starting to walk away. Cheng Hui hurriedly said, “Eldest Senior Brother, I didn’t expect Bai Dou to end up like this. Perhaps… there is some misunderstanding in this matter.”
Ye Jingxian stopped. Bai Dou looked up at him, then turned its head to look at Cheng Hui in confusion. The next instant, its head was tapped by someone.
“From now on, you are just Master’s third disciple.”
After saying this, he continued forward, but stopped again upon seeing the person arriving.
“Who did this?”
Lin Qingyue stood not far in front of them, spotting the little guy in Ye Jingxian’s arms at a glance. It looked pitiful, silly, and dazed.
Seeing Lin Qingyue, Bai Dou pouted and started shedding tears again. Reaching out towards Lin Qingyue, it gesticulated and chattered, its expression changing constantly. As it spoke, it became increasingly angry, finally looking at Lin Qingyue with utmost grievance.
“You did this?”
Lin Qingyue’s gaze fell on Cheng Hui. His sword was already drawn; a sword gleam flashed, and powerful sword intent erupted.
“However much it was hurt, you just pay back the same amount. I won’t use any other sword, lest people say I’m bullying you.”
After speaking, he remembered something and simply issued a challenge directly.
“The location will be the Sword Dueling Platform, so you can’t tell others I bullied you later.”
“Come. If you don’t come, I will keep hitting you until you fight me.” Lin Qingyue paused. “It’s fine if you don’t come, just don’t blame me for killing the person you constantly pine for in your heart.”
“Lin Qingyue, don’t spout nonsense.” Cheng Hui’s face was entirely red, whether from anger or shame was unclear.
Lin Qingyue ignored him, simply stepping forward with a dark face to take Bai Dou over.
“Little Junior Brother.” Ye Jingxian felt guilty. “It was I who didn’t watch Bai Dou well.”
“Why are you feeling guilty for him?” He glared at Ye Jingxian. “Or is Eldest Senior Brother going to intervene and judge the case?”
“You misunderstand, I have no such intention.” Ye Jingxian felt a bit aggrieved.
Lin Qingyue’s expression cleared slightly. Stuffing Bai Dou back, he pointed his sword at Cheng Hui. “The challenge has been issued. Are you fighting or not?”
The other didn’t move, so Lin Qingyue attacked directly. Powerful sword intent thrust towards Cheng Hui. “The challenge is issued; you have to fight whether you want to or not.”
The sword blade was brimming with spiritual energy, killing with unstoppable momentum. Ye Jingxian saw clearly that he harbored the intent to seriously injure Cheng Hui.
However, he had just advanced to the Golden Core stage, while Cheng Hui had stepped into the Golden Core stage long ago.
“Little Junior Brother, calm down a bit.”
Lin Qingyue merely told him to dodge aside. His sword momentum didn’t restrain itself; powerful spiritual power gathered on the sword, sharp and unstoppable. Cheng Hui couldn’t just stand there and take it, so he hurriedly dodged.
“Lin Qingyue, you’re crazy.”
He attacked from left and right, slashing several times in succession, not joking with Cheng Hui at all. In a moment of distraction, Lin Qingyue cut Cheng Hui’s wrist directly. Pain flashed across Cheng Hui’s face as he looked at him in disbelief.
His moves were ruthless and fast; his whole being was decisive, his sword technique striking straight at vital points.
Cheng Hui looked at Ye Jingxian.
