201: I Believe In Senior Brother's Character
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 15:44:55 +0000 UTCWhile Yun Wuji was plundering the East Ruins Sect's treasury with his Devil Body, he had already set another one of his schemes into motion in the Eastern Divine Region...
Bang!
A kick suddenly slammed into Yun Wuji's stomach, forcing all the air out of him and sending him flying like a cannonball to the edge of the battle stage.
His body slammed into a wall and bounced back from the impact. He fell face-first to the ground and lay motionless, not moving a muscle.
"Junior Brother!" Luo Changsheng, the one who had sent Yun Wuji flying with a kick, suddenly paled. His expression changed, and he rushed toward Yun Wuji to check on him.
'Heh, this is just the beginning, dear junior brother. In the future, I'll make sure to "help" you with your combat training, hehehehe!' While hypocritically wearing an anxious and panicked expression on his face, inside, he was laughing coldly.
Back when Fei Yang slapped him unconscious, Luo Changsheng didn't show any displeasure or anger on the surface. Instead, he maintained an amiable attitude toward Fei Yang. But deep down, he had always been looking for a way to get back at him. However, every time he tried something, Yun Wuji would always find a way to turn it back on him.
Just as he was beginning to feel frustrated and helpless, Yun Wuji suddenly asked him for help with combat training. Luo Changsheng was overjoyed, and he swore to himself that he would beat the crap out of Yun Wuji cough he meant he was determined to help his Junior Brother gain valuable experience, of course.
"Yang'er! Changsheng, how could you be so heavy-handed... Ah!" Luo Guxie also cried out, darting toward Yun Wuji faster than Luo Changsheng. In an instant, she was already by his side. She held him in her arms while reprimanding her son, but when she turned Yun Wuji over, she suddenly let out a gasp. Her expression changed the moment she saw his face.
"You!!"
Luo Changsheng had just rushed over when he caught sight of Yun Wuji's face—and immediately froze like someone had poured a bucket of ice water over him. His eyes widened, and his mouth hung open, words stuck in his throat.
Because the face he saw now wasn't his Junior Brother's face—it was an entirely different one! This was the face of someone he had seen many times over the past few months!
It seemed that after being knocked out, Yun Wuji could no longer maintain his disguise, and his appearance reverted back to its original form.
"Ma-master?" Yun Wuji 'regained' consciousness, his eyelids fluttering open as if he were struggling to wake up. His gaze landed on Luo Guxie, and he spoke slowly in a weak voice.
"Don't speak," Luo Guxie's face was grim. She quickly spread her senses around, cautiously checking if anyone was nearby. After confirming that the area was clear, she took out a pill and gently fed it to him.
Though his injury wasn't severe, and using such a precious recovery pill seemed wasteful, Luo Guxie didn't care about that at the moment. What mattered was that he recovered quickly and could use his skills to change his appearance once more.
Yun Wuji quickly swallowed the pill and refined it, feeling a cooling sensation spread through his body. Moments later, he opened his eyes and smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Master."
"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly change your appearance back," However, what answered him was a stern command from Luo Guxie.
"What?" Yun Wuji's eyes suddenly widened. He touched his face with both hands and as he did, his expression changed drastically. Without delay, he quickly activated his skill. A faint light enveloped him, and when it faded, his face had returned to that of Fei Yang's.
After confirming this, he let out a sigh of relief. But suddenly, as he remembered something, his expression changed again. He turned to look at Luo Changsheng cautiously.
"Junior Brother... Master... what is going on? Junior Brother, what is he?!" Luo Changsheng had recovered from his shock, looking at both of them suspiciously as he asked.
His heart was pounding frantically. Junior Brother... he... he had never expected his good Junior Brother to give him such a 'pleasant' surprise!
"Changsheng!" Luo Guxie called out in a solemn voice, her expression grave.
"...Master?" Luo Changsheng had never seen his aunt wear such a serious expression before. This only reaffirmed Fei Yang's position in her heart, which stirred up even more hatred and jealousy within him.
His master's attention and care should be his, and his alone!
"I order you to never reveal what you've just seen to anyone!" Luo Guxie stared at him with an extremely serious expression, her tone sharp and stern. "Do you understand?!"
Yun Wuji's arrest warrants were spread everywhere in the Eastern Divine Region, and there were even rumors that they had reached the Southern Divine Region. Almost anyone who saw him would recognize him at first glance. If it were exposed that he was her disciple, the Brahma Monarch God Realm would be at their doorstep in less than a day!
At that time, she wouldn't be able to protect him even if she used all her strength!
"This disciple will obey Master's orders!" Luo Changsheng looked between Luo Guxie and Yun Wuji, replying with a serious expression. But inside, he laughed coldly, 'I won't reveal anything, but I can't guarantee that someone might not 'accidentally' discover something.'
With his narrow-mindedness and growing hatred for Fei Yang, how could he possibly let such an opportunity slip away?
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother," Yun Wuji said, deeply grateful to Luo Changsheng, and bowed respectfully.
"You don't have to be so formal. Although I don't know your story, at the end of the day, we're still fellow disciples," Luo Changsheng quickly waved his hand, a warm smile on his face. His expression was sincere as if he truly meant every word.
Luo Guxie looked at her son and her potential lover... 'ahem' disciple, feeling relieved. It seemed that despite their differences, they still respected each other.
"Yang'er, come with me!" She grabbed his shoulder and flew away, leaving the training ground behind.
"Master, take care!" Luo Changsheng stood alone, watching Luo Guxie's figure disappear into the distance. Once she was out of sight, he lowered his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes as a sinister smile curled on his lips.
"How could you be so careless?!" Luo Guxie brought him to her residence, and the moment she erected an isolation barrier, she shouted at him in anger. "Do you have any idea how dangerous your situation was today? Fortunately, the only person present was Changsheng. If it had been anyone else, what do you think would have happened?"
"Silence them?" Yun Wuji didn't show any panic. Instead, he remained calm. "I know Master cares a lot about me. If someone saw me, you would certainly wipe them out."
"Hmph! It seems I've been too soft on you recently, and you've started getting arrogant!" Luo Guxie snorted, reaching out to pull his ear.
"Ouch! Ouch! It was my fault, Master! I won't do it again, I'll be careful in the future!" Yun Wuji cried out in pain, begging for mercy. Then, he suddenly hugged her and spoke in a somewhat spoiled tone, "It's Master's fault too. It's because I know you'll always be there to clean up after me that I started becoming careless."
"So now it's my fault?" Luo Guxie didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her disciple's shamelessness. She let go of his ear and patted his back in annoyance, then added, "I'll speak to Changsheng again. Although you two have some differences, you're both my disciples. Changsheng is a sensible child, he won't tell anyone."
"Hmm, I believe in Senior Brother's character; he would never disappoint me," Yun Wuji let go of her and nodded in agreement. He truly believed in Luo Changsheng and was certain that he wouldn't let him down. He was 100% sure that, in no time, the Brahma Monarch God Realm would come looking for him.
"Hmm, although this accident didn't cause any problems, you still need to be punished," Luo Guxie said softly, nodding. She, too, believed in her son's ability to understand the bigger picture. But then her expression turned stern. "You'll be grounded for one year!"
"What, one whole year?!" Yun Wuji's eyes widened in shock.
"Say one more word, and it'll increase to two years!" Luo Guxie remained unmoved, adding mercilessly.
"..." Yun Wuji immediately shut his mouth, covering it with both hands.
Luo Guxie's lips curled into a faint smile as she saw his terrified expression. He looked so adorable right now! For a moment, she wanted to pull him into a tight hug and shower him with kisses.
'Guxie, get hold of yourself! Be patient, you still have a long time ahead!' she reminded herself firmly.
After Luo Guxie left, Yun Wuji sat down and gazed at the ceiling with his deep, dark eyes. 'Everything is going as planned... for now.'
