Borrowing a sword

Chapter 125 Junior Uncle Meets Chu Huai (Preface)

That night, the philanthropic gambling king met Chu Huaixu for the first time.

I'm telling you not to mention the storyteller to anyone else. Just say you've never seen him.

The Sixth Elder was very satisfied with the answer and the attitude.

Unexpectedly, what the other party said was the truth!
"He honestly, he's never seen this before!!!"

This sixth elder of the Taoist sect rarely uttered a curse in his mind.

Looking back on everything, Li Chunsong felt a chill run down his spine.

He had always had a very good impression of Chu Huaixu. Among all the high-ranking officials, he and Chu Yinyin were the closest to him.

"I knew my luck had been so good lately!"

"Ever since he came up the mountain, I've won every bet because of him!"

"So that's where the pit was!"

Everyone stared at him, and they could clearly see the changes in Li Chunsong's expression.

At that moment, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

That was awful; his expression was absolutely awful.

Because this matter was of great importance, involving the Daoist ancestor's admonitions and the great calamity of heaven and earth, Li Chunsong dared not conceal anything and appeared exceptionally honest.

Faced with his junior uncle's questioning, his face flushed red with unprecedented embarrassment, and he said:

"I warned Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang not to mention to anyone that they had met a storyteller at the foot of the mountain."

Upon hearing this, a hint of ferocity flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes.

The thought of killing him gradually arose.

"You told them not to mention it, and then this guy named Chu Huaixu just pretended to be stupid? Logically speaking, he should be completely confused, right? There's nothing unusual about him at all?" He gave Li Chunsong a cold look.

There's definitely something wrong with this kid!
Everyone understood Junior Uncle's personality and could tell what he meant by his words.

But everyone had spent some time with Chu Huaixu and quite admired the boy, so they started to take sides and speak up for him.

The magnanimous Nangong Yue spoke first: "Junior Uncle, Chu Huaixu is still a boy after all. Being suddenly brought into the Daoist sect by a great cultivator can be said to be an extraordinary encounter in his life. It is normal for him to be dumbfounded."

"Yes, Junior Uncle, we've been observing this kid all along, and he's got a good character." Even Sect Master Xiang Yan expressed this opinion.

The most impartial elder in the sect, Lu Pan, said directly, "Junior Uncle, I also quite admire this child."

Jiang Zhi ignored the others and only glanced at Lu Pan: "Even you say that?"

This surprised him somewhat.

But a seed of doubt was still planted in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Chunsong took a deep breath.

He knew very well that if Chu Huaixu was targeted by his junior uncle, he would definitely have a hard time.

What's more, this is his future grandmaster.

He knew it was his turn to go all out.

The sixth elder of the Taoist sect said, "Um, everyone."

Everyone looked at him.

Li Chunsong's old face was so red it was almost bleeding; he was utterly ashamed.

"Actually, after I warned them, Chu Huaixu directly told me that his disciple had never seen any storyteller."

“But I misunderstood him. I thought this kid was being witty and was expressing his opinion to me in this way.”

“This is a matter of great importance, and Chunsong dares not conceal anything.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo forest fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone finally understood, and only now did they realize how ridiculous some of the recent discussions had been.

We often discuss whether the Dao Ancestor's words were wrong, or whether Junior Uncle was wrong.

It turns out you, Li Chunsong, were completely wrong!

The expressions on everyone's faces were basically: bewildered—bewildered—furious—bewildered.
Jiang Zhi, dressed in white, was so angry that his hair stood on end.

As he grew older, he focused on self-cultivation and restraining his murderous intent.

Now, he broke down on the spot.

The junior master of the Taoist sect pointed at Li Chunsong and began to speak:

"You! Sixth Brother! Well done! Well done!"

"I asked you to pick someone up, but you didn't understand how."

"You can't even understand what a junior is saying!"

Seeing that they were about to teach Li Chunsong a lesson, everyone started trying to say nice things.

Unexpectedly, Junior Uncle immediately glanced around at everyone and began to launch a sweeping attack on everyone.

"You! And you all!"

“Every single one of you gets a share!”

Jiang Zhi was right; indeed, through a series of coincidences, one thing led to another, and even the Second Elder, who wasn't on the mountain, couldn't escape.

But at this moment, Chu Yinyin, whom they brought here, must begin to play her original role.

This most favored junior sister of the Taoist sect was immediately displeased.

"Junior Uncle, you can't say that!"

"It's not entirely our fault, is it?"

"Who told you to send the message back without mentioning the names and appearances of the two people?"

"Then after that happened, you didn't return to the sect and instead wandered around the foot of the mountain."

Chu Yinyin began to unleash a torrent of words.

In the past, everyone would have already scolded her, habitually saying, "Junior Sister, watch your words!"

But things are different today.

Junior sister, speak up for us!
Everyone thought the same thing, feeling that this situation was related to everyone, including Junior Uncle.

At this moment, Chu Yinyin had not yet finished speaking.

She even brought up her deceased master.

Among the disciples of the Gentleman's Temple of Jiang Zhi's generation, Chu Yinyin's master ranked ninth. She was Jiang Zhi's ninth senior sister and also the person he admired.

He always doted on Chu Yinyin, which was essentially a case of loving someone because of them. This is also one of the reasons why this seemingly innocent but actually naive woman dared to speak recklessly to this peerless killer since childhood.

It's just a child's mentality, but he's spoiled and arrogant.

Of course, it was also because when she was still a young girl, she often watched her master scold her junior uncle.

At this moment, Chu Yinyin said, "My master often says that you like to make things mysterious, making simple things complicated, and you're never reliable. Actually, deep down you just love to play! You're playful!"

"Also, as your name suggests, Jiang Zhi, you're always on the verge of arriving!"

"If you had come back half a month earlier, there would have been room for maneuver."

She kept talking non-stop, but Jiang Zhi's expression grew increasingly grim.

Everyone quickly shut up, realizing they couldn't say anything more.

"Junior Sister! Watch your words!"

The passing of Ninth Martial Uncle was a thorn in Junior Martial Uncle's heart.

Jiang Zhi, dressed in a spotless white robe with an ordinary appearance, had a constantly changing expression, and the beautiful figure kept appearing before his eyes.

—Love is separation, desire is not fulfilled, and it is hard to let go.

Finally, he flicked his sleeve and let out a long sigh.

"Well, Ninth Senior Sister is right. Perhaps the problem really is with me."

"But you, Li Chunsong, are also to blame!"

“When the time comes, you’ll come with me to the law enforcement court to receive your punishment, and you’ll get three lashes from the thunder whip!” He glared at Li Chunsong.

The gambling addict quickly replied, "Yes!"

He's already quite content that this matter can be put to rest.

Seeing his relieved expression, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but say:

“Li Chunsong, this matter involves the first level of the Origin Spirit Realm and is related to the great calamity of heaven and earth.”

"If the first layer can't be defended by then..."

"Neither you nor I can bear the consequences of this!"

"You and I are the sinners of this Xuanhuang Realm!"

These were strong words, yet no one could refute them.

The cause and effect involved here are indeed too heavy.

Junior Uncle looked at everyone and guessed, "So, Han Shuangjiang, Xu Ziqing, and this Chu Huaixu have all been to Cangling Mountain, right?"

"You'd better tell me now that Xu Ziqing has successfully removed the sword and nothing went wrong."

In this way, although there were several twists and turns and unexpected events, it eventually got back on track.

The process was entirely wrong, but the ending was entirely right.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

Sect leader Xiang Yan gave a response on behalf of everyone.

"Junior Uncle, the sword has indeed been taken by Xu Ziqing."

"That's good." Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "The Dao Ancestor's words are never wrong, and I certainly won't have looked for the wrong person down the mountain."

He, who always believed he had everything under control, had his wisdom slip away and then picked up again, only to slip away once more.

Chu Yinyin even brought up what her master had said, as he actually wanted to move on as soon as possible.

However, Xiang Yan immediately added, "But it seems there's still a problem."

"what?!"

Thud, Zhizhu fell again.

This matter is beyond repair, isn't it?
Inside the bamboo grove, Jiang Zhi listened to everyone's conversation and finally understood Xu Ziqing's current situation.

"So, your special approval quota for that charred black wooden plaque wasn't given to him?" He pointed at Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan nodded awkwardly.

"Then, because of his damn senior brother's expectations, this kid actually chose a body-refining technique, and then, by taking pills and relying on his own physique, he qualified for the mountain climbing?"

"The chosen one, destined to practice the Sword Nourishing Technique, has become a complete body cultivator because of Chu Huaixu!"

"Moreover, after the sword spirit was split in two by the Dao Ancestor's restriction and poured into his spiritual embryo, he was no longer a pseudo-spiritual embryo because of the Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill given to him by Chu Huaixu?"

"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"

He's everywhere! He's such a variable, always on everyone's radar!
But soon, a thought flashed through his mind.

He suddenly realized something.

"Wait, Chu Yinyin, you said before that Chu Huaixu's Xuantian Fetal Breathing Pill was a gift from you."

Why did you choose to give him the Mysterious Heavenly Breathing Pill?

"Could it be that he is still a low-grade spiritual embryo? Or even a pseudo-spiritual embryo?"

There are plenty of treasures that could be given to low-level cultivators, so why did they choose to give them elixirs, which led to a terrible mistake?

“Junior Uncle, let me explain. When he first came up the mountain, he was indeed a pseudo-spiritual embryo,” Li Chunsong answered on his behalf.

They were about to recount all the big commotion Chu Huaixu had caused during this period when Jiang Zhi raised his hand to interrupt them.

"No need. Bring this damn Chu Huaixu to see me," he ordered directly.

I'm going to take a good look at who this variable really is!
“Okay, then I’ll go pick him up.” Chu Yinyin immediately prepared to set off.

She was incredibly smug and determined to bring her precious disciple over to give her junior uncle a good shock and scare him to death!

As a result, Jiang Zhi made a sarcastic remark, pointing at Li Chunsong and saying, "Sixth Brother, you go pick them up. This time, I can't let you pick up Chu Huaixu. Pick up someone else for me, okay?"

"No, no." Li Chunsong blushed again and covered his face as he left.

"I'd like to see for myself what a fine grand-disciple you've taken in!" he said, his tone perfectly clear to everyone.

Not long after, Chu Huaixu, unaware of what had happened, was taken to the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Jiang Zhi raised her eyes and gave him a cold glance. Luckily, they were far away, otherwise she would have had to look up at him.

This boy is tall and handsome.

—Junior Uncle was instantly displeased.
