Chapter 234: Why Is A Grown Man So Petty
“Zhao… ah…”

As soon as Master Qing Yan opened his mouth, his expression suddenly changed, his features twisted and fierce, his body twitching slightly. He looked like he was possessed.

Everyone was shocked and backed away in a hurry.

Yu Zhao was also startled.

[Could it be that Ye Cong Xin, driven to a corner, secretly took Master Qing Yan’s fortune ahead of time?]

[Or did his injuries leave aftereffects and make him lose his mind?]

No matter which it was, Yu Zhao warned herself to stay far away from Master Qing Yan.

When someone of Master Qing Yan’s level lost control, even if she had three lives, she would not be able to stop him.

There was only one best plan.

She said to them: “Yao Wuji, Si Tu Xuan, let’s set out now!”

“Ah? Oh, oh, yes, yes.”

Yao Wu Jiand Si Tu Xuan froze for a moment, then nodded again and again.

The three of them moved, turning into a streak of light that sped away.

“Zhao’er… don’t go…”

Master Qing Yan took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, and another wave of convulsions hit him.

The Five Elements Dao Sect disciples were terrified and looked to Zhou Jin Yue for help: “First Senior Sister.”

Zhou Jin Yue said calmly: “Do not panic. The Sect Master will be here soon.”

Zhou Jin Yue’s expression stayed steady.

Back when Master Qing Yan first appeared, she had already sent a message to her master. At first she was worried that Master Qing Yan would harm Yu Zhao.

Now it seemed the one she should be worried about was Master Qing Yan himself.

Sect Master Ji Yuan rushed over in a hurry and saw Master Qing Yan with a crazed look on his face, twitching nonstop.

He was shocked and shouted: “Qing Yan!”

He had been fine when they left the Grand Elder. How did he have another attack in the blink of an eye?

There was no time to think about the reason. He picked Master Qing Yan up and used Blink Step to appear outside Wanderer Bao Hua’s residence.

He shouted: “Bao Hua, Qing Yan is having another attack!”

The door opened.

Sect Master Ji Yuan strode inside and, under Wanderer Bao Hua’s guidance, laid Master Qing Yan on the bed in the side room.

Sect Master Wu Sang from another courtyard also rushed over.

He asked: “What is going on?”

Sect Master Ji Yuan said: “I do not know the details. I only got a disciple’s message transmission…”

As Wanderer Bao Hua listened to Sect Master Ji Yuan’s story, she also checked Master Qing Yan’s expression.

Seeing Master Qing Yan’s expression changing over and over, his brows twisted tight, she thought for a moment, then gathered her courage and sent a strand of divine sense into his body.

“Get out!!!”

The next moment,

her divine sense was ruthlessly forced out.

Her whole body rocked backward.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said: “I have found the cause.”

Sect Master Ji Yuan and Sect Master Wu Sang stared at her with bright eyes.

“For some reason, Master Qing Yan’s soul power has suddenly grown greatly. It has gone beyond the limits of his sea of consciousness, so his behavior is strange and his mind is uneasy. Give him some time to adjust and he should get much better.”

When Sect Master Ji Yuan heard this, he felt more at ease, but he could not help feeling wary and suspicious of Ye Cong Xin.

What exactly had she done to Master Qing Yan? Someone that even the two great healing masters of the cultivation world could not save had been pulled back from the brink by her, and his soul power had even grown. It was simply unbelievable.

Wanderer Bao Hua gave her medical advice: “As I said before, try not to stimulate him during this time. Let him digest it on his own.”

Sect Master Ji Yuan nodded again and again.

By the time Master Qing Yan took back control of his body, the news that he had publicly called Yu Zhao “Zhao’er” and seemed to have some kind of hysteria had already spread everywhere through the Five Elements Dao Sect.

Fang Cheng Lang was behind closed doors in reflection and did not know.

The other people on Lone Moon Peak all had different thoughts when they heard.

Lan Zi Yu, Su Ming, and Quan Ye gathered in private to talk.

Su Ming spoke first: “Do you think Master regrets it now? Can Yu Xiao Zhao be our junior sister again?”

Lan Zi Yu gave him a sideways look: “She already made you go sweep the floor, and you still want her to come back?”

Su Ming’s face looked a bit awkward for a moment, but he quickly said with confidence: “She punished me because she cares about me.”

Lan Zi Yu let out a cold laugh: “You are lying to yourself.”

Su Ming was not convinced. He said: “Second Senior Brother, stop pretending. I know you also want Yu Xiao Zhao to come back. You cannot even hide the Purple Cloud Bamboo Flute in your sleeve.”

Lan Zi Yu pushed the Purple Cloud Bamboo Flute deeper into his sleeve and said angrily: “She can leave whenever she wants and come back whenever she wants. What does she take our Lone Moon Peak for? Master should let her suffer more.”

Quan Ye said unhappily: “Second Senior Brother, you are a grown man. How can you be so petty?”

Su Ming and Lan Zi Yu looked at him in surprise.

Su Ming said: “Fifth Brother, were you not the one who said Yu Zhao was fake before? Why are you speaking up for her now?”

Quan Ye said carelessly: “Even Master says she is Yu Zhao. It must be true. I must have guessed wrong before.”

“Guessed wrong? You are the one who misled me. Otherwise I could have already made up with Yu Xiao Zhao!”

Su Ming was so angry his chest hurt.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, Lan Zi Yu quickly stepped in to stop them.

He shouted: “Enough! Stop making trouble! Right now we are talking about whether we want Yu Zhao to come back or not!”

Su Ming said: “Of course I want that. I raise both hands and feet in support.”

Quan Ye snorted: “I agree too.”

Lan Zi Yu nodded: “If you both agree, First Senior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother will surely have no objections either. When Master has time, I will go pay him a visit and tell him what we think.

Yu Zhao can come back, but when she does she cannot be as willful as before. Hitting her senior brothers was really too much.”

Quan Ye muttered under his breath: “I do not mind her hitting me.”

Lan Zi Yu’s eyes darkened: “What did you say?”

“I said I have no objections. Senior Brother can decide everything.”

Only then did Lan Zi Yu’s expression ease a little.

Su Ming added: “Also, after she comes back, she should spend less time with other people. We are the ones closest to her. The people outside might be hiding bad intentions.”

Lan Zi Yu felt Su Ming’s suggestion spoke straight to his heart, so he nodded in agreement: “Third Junior Brother is right. Disciples of Lone Moon Peak share the same breath. We should help each other.”

With Lan Zi Yu’s support, Su Ming got even more excited and brought up several more ideas in one breath.

For example, even if Yu Zhao got angry she could not use illusion art to play tricks on people, she could not give others the silent treatment for no reason, and any gifts she gave could not be taken back just because she felt like it…

The more they talked, the more excited they became.

Cui Jue was listening from behind and almost wanted to laugh.

When Yu Zhao left, he had also stood in the group sending her off, but he had not shown himself alone from beginning to end.

He knew Yu Zhao did not want to see him.

So he did not want to ruin Yu Zhao’s mood.

He had also watched with his own eyes as Master appeared cold and lofty, then left in an embarrassed mess.

He could say for sure:

Master regretted it.

Just like him, he regretted it so much that there was no way to make up for it.

But so what?

[A broken mirror is hard to make whole again, and spilled water cannot be gathered up.]

Cui Jue had already decided to spend his whole life to make up for his mistakes.

But other than First Senior Brother, his other three junior brothers were still dreaming, even fantasizing about using rules to tie Yu Zhao down.

They did not know that Yu Zhao had already gone through nirvana and been reborn, and she was not willing to walk the old road again.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Cui Jue’s lips. Then he turned around and quietly left.

He would not warn them.

He would let them keep dreaming for a while longer.

They could taste the cruel pain of waking later.

That could count as the last bit of pity he showed them as their fellow disciple.
