Arc 7 – Farewell to that Senior Brother
Chapter 164

Since eldest senior brother had already said it, he wouldn’t take it back.

At first, Chi Zhao thought Lin Changfeng was just joking and perhaps he didn’t actually want him to recite it but after a few days, Chi Zhao thought about it again. Perhaps he might have said something out of line to eldest senior brother or done something he didn’t like and that was why he was punished like this. Once eldest senior brother is no longer angry, it should be okay.

But even after a year passed and Chi Zhao was about to reach the foundation establishment stage, eldest senior brother was still angry. Every night, Chi Zhao had to recite the Heart-Clearing Mantra for two hours. If something happened in the sect and Chi Zhao had to participate, he would put a stop to his training for a while, but he still had to continue with reciting the mantra every single day.

Reciting of the Heart-Clearing Mantra was similar to becoming vegetarian. To suddenly eat it every day, it made him feel nauseous in the stomach and sick at the thought of it but over time, he got used to it and if he didn’t do it, he felt uncomfortable.

Chi Zhao had passed that stage of nausea and was now in the latter stage.

Spring left and autumn came. Zhao Tian sect ushered another winter season. Chi Zhao had finished his set of sword training and when he stored away his sword and turned around, he saw that there was someone behind him. The other person was also looking at him with a smile.

It was unknown how long he had been standing there. Chi Zhao had no divine senses, he couldn’t see through the back of his head and this place was also the main peak, so he had subconsciously lowered his vigilance. As a result, he didn’t notice that person at all.

Noticing the other person’s presence, Chi Zhao furrowed his brows faintly, “What is it?”

The other party was called Yu Mochen, a disciple of Huang Linger, the owner of Taiqing Lake in Zhao Tian sect’s twelve peaks. The owner of Tiaqing Lake was already two thousand years old this year and is of the same generation as Jiye Zhenren. Even Jiye Zhenren respectfully refers to her as senior sister.

This lady and Jiye Zhenren are the same and they both hardly went out, constantly staying in retreat in their own residence. She had a particularly large group of disciples. Yu Mochen was a disciple she had picked up several hundred years ago when she was looking for some heavenly treasures. He was slightly older than Lin Changfeng in terms of age, but his current cultivation level was only at the core formation stage.

Starting about a month ago, the frequency of Yu Mochen’s appearance at the main peak suddenly increased. Chi Zhao often practiced his sword techniques on the stone chessboard on Xieyun Field and he would see this senior brother here every three or five days. Every time, Chi Zhao would ask him what he wanted and every time, his answer was different.

This time it was the same.

Yu Mochen smiled lightly, “On the third of the next month, I will be taking disciples down the mountain to train. Junior brother Chi, do you want to come with?”

With Chi Zhao’s age, he wasn’t qualified to go down the mountain, but his cultivation level was comparable to many of the disciples who had been in the sect for decades. If he wanted to go down the mountain, basically no one would stop him.

But Chi Zhao just glanced indifferently at him and rejected the offer directly, “No.”

Being rejected so quickly, Yu Mochen felt a little awkward. The corners of his lips stiffened a little and a while later, he tried to persuade earnestly, “Junior brother Chi, always training like this in the mountains is not advisable. When appropriate, you should also enter society to learn about the rest of the world and help them with their concerns. After doing this once, you will find that your mind is much broader, and your cultivation would also advance a lot further.”

He had persuaded him very earnestly, but this time Chi Zhao didn’t even look at him, “I’m not the Emperor, what need is there to learn about the world. Some people need to go out to broaden their minds but I’m different, I just need to read more books.”

Yu Mochen: “……..”

No matter what he said, Chi Zhao still remained firm. In the end, Yu Mochen could only leave in frustration. Xu Shiqing who was enjoying the show in the shadows then stepped out from behind a broken wall.

It was unknown how many times the main peak had been repaired. Some places had been used by immortals who have already ascended, leaving behind strong Daoist signifirance so the people who came later didn’t take them down. This included this stone chessboard as well as the broken wall Xu Shiqing had used to hide herself just now. They were all left from over thousands of years ago.

Xu Shiqing was overwhelmed, “Youngest junior brother, aren’t you being too cold?”

Chi Zhao lowered his eyes. He stored away the spirit sword and his expression wasn’t too good, “I’m already being very polite.”

In the past, he would directly make the others cry but having recited the Heart-Clearing Mantra for more than a year, he had calmed down a lot compared to before.

Xu Shiqing didn’t come here to eavesdrop. When she came to find Chi Zhao, she saw them talking from the distance and after some hesitation, she decided to listen in.

The people here weren’t idiots. Yu Mochen was also a Zhao Tian sect disciple and with him coming to the main peak so often, many people naturally noticed it.

Although every disciple of the Zhao Tian sect looked like an immortal; clean and refreshing, in fact if they gossiped, even the paparazzi in the modern world wouldn’t be able to match up to them.

It couldn’t be helped. The cultivation life was too boring, and they could only find things to do such as digging out some gossip from their colleagues to entertain themselves.

………

Xu Shiqing was also a member of the gossip army. She covered her mouth and giggled a few times but when Chi Zhao came over, she lowered her hand and restored her expression back to a serious expression, “Well done, keep it up. Senior sister will still support you and eldest senior brother. Don’t worry, I will definitely not change factions!”

Ever since Chi Zhao hinted at his feelings a year ago and Lin Changfeng didn’t explicitly reject him, Chi Zhao changed his tactics and changed from pursuing him secretly to pursuing him openly so everyone was now aware that Chi Zhao held feelings for his eldest senior brother. Chi Zhao however never went down the mountain and he also didn’t even leave the main peak. With ordinary disciples unable to enter to see what the two involved parties were doing and inquire about their progress, there weren’t many people who paid attention to them.

Instead, they were more interested in the Lusi Fairy and the Feiyu Daoist. This pair had always been the model Daoist couple in the cultivation realm, but news broke out some time ago that the Lusi Fairy and the Yuanhe Mage of the Lingshan sect had something going on and that Feiyu Daoist was even more amazing, he had actually hooked up with Meng Xinxiao, the left guardian of the Liyang Palace!

If it was just an ordinary case of both parties cheating on each other, it wouldn’t have attracted everyone’s enthusiastic attention but according to the latest news two days ago, Meng Xinxiao didn’t actually like Feiyu Daoist and the reason why she got involved with a man who already has a companion was entirely because she had feelings for the Yuanhe Mage for many years. The Yuanhe Mage had told her that he only had Buddha in his heart but in the end he and the Lusi Fairy got together.

What only having Buddha in his heart? Was this Lusi Fairy Buddha?!

Meng Xinxiao was furious and Lusi Fairy became her target of hatred. If she didn’t explode in silence, she would die in it, and so, out of anger, Meng Xinxiao got involved with Feiyu Daoist. She had done this in retaliation against Lusi Fairy and Yuanhe Mage but now Feiyu Daoist really fell in love with her and continued to chase after her every day. He even said that he didn’t mind if he was used because what he wanted wasn’t her heart but her body.

The entire cultivation realm was shocked.

What kind of four-sided love was this?!

What was even more shocking was that none of the four people involved were good people!!

……

The Lusi Fairy was also from the Liyang Palace and Feiyu Daoist belonged to the Zhao Tian sect so right now all the disciples of the Zhao Tian sect were watching the show while eating melons and not paying any attention to Chi Zhao’s end. That is, everyone except for Xu Shiqing as well as some of Lin Changfeng’s diehard fans.

About six months ago, Xu Shiqing had made a bet with the other disciples. They betted on whether Chi Zhao and Lin Changfeng would get together within ten years. Xu Shiqing had taken the liberty to bet all of the dowry her mother had given to her when she left the mortal world.

Chi Zhao didn’t understand why she was so confident. Xu Shiqing laughed and said it was a secret. No matter how Chi Zhao asked, she just kept silent.

Half a year later, the two of them still hadn’t made any progress. By this time, Xu Shiqing was also a little anxious.

And so she came to inquire about the situation.

Chi Zhao was annoyed the moment she mentioned it, “He ignores me.”

Xu Shiqing was stunned for a moment. It took her a while to respond, “What do you mean he ignores you? Why would he ignore you?”

Chi Zhao sat down depressed, “I don’t know.”

Although Lin Changfeng was cold to him before, he still said what he needed to say, and he also did what he needed to do to take care of him. The current Lin Changfeng was like he had evaporated. When Chi Zhao is awake, he was never around and when Chi Zhao is asleep, he would be back.

Knowing that he was deliberately avoiding him, Chi Zhao angrily stayed up last night and waited in the yard for him, but he didn’t turn up the whole night!

He never returned!

Xu Shiqing was the only person in the entire sect who supported him. When everyone else found out, they all pretended not to know and neither opposed ror supported him. Although they didn’t say anything, Chi Zhao could tell that they didn’t want him to get together with Lin Changfeng. As for the reason for that, there were too many.

Chi Zhao didn’t care about what the other people thought, but after holding it in for so long, he also needed to vent.

He spilled all his complaints onto Xu Shiqing and strongly criticised Lin Changfeng’s recent actions. Xu Shiqing listened to his complaints for a long time and was deep in thought.

“Youngest junior brother, when did eldest senior brother start ignoring you?”

Chi Zhao furrowed his brows in thought, “The beginning of this month.”

Wasn’t that when the rumour that Yu Mochen liked Chi Zhao appeared?

Chi Zhao didn’t talk to the others much, so he didn’t know about the rumours circulating outside. Xu Shiqing’s eyes flashed and she smiled meaningfully, “Youngest junior brother, do you want senior sister to teach you a cool trick?”

Chi Zhao looked up at her suspiciously.

Xu Shiqing hooked her finger at Chi Zhao. Chi Zhao leaned closer and heard Xu Shiqing said with a lowered voice, “Isn’t eldest senior brother avoiding you? If that’s the case, you just need to force him out. Do this. Pretend to be sick when you get back. Act realistically. You can moan a few times and he will definitely appear.”

Chi Zhao: “……..”

He had thought that it would be some amazing trick but, in the end, it was just this.

“Even if he believed it, what if he doesn’t care?” Chi Zhao asked blankly.

Hearing Chi Zhao’s question, Xu Shiqing smiled like a neighbourhood uncle, “Hey, youngest junior brother, you’re underestimating how important you are to eldest senior brother. Listen to senior sister. It will definitely be fine.”

Chi Zhao was still doubtful, but he had no other methods he could think of right now. Lin Changfeng’s cultivation level was higher than his so even if he wanted to make him come out, Chi Zhao wouldn’t be able to find him.

Thinking this, Chi Zhao nodded solemnly, “Okay, I’ll go back and try.”

Chi Zhao stood up. Xu Shiqing waved at him encouragingly from behind, “Good luck! Whether or not this senior sister becomes the richest woman in Zhao Tian sect in the future is all up to you!”

Chi Zhao: “………..”
