The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Late night. Dense forest.

Ye Danxia waited nervously.

She wasn’t sure if Gu Jinghong would still be willing to see her.

If he didn’t come, she’d have to think of another way.

Just then, leaves rustled. Ye Danxia whirled around.

She saw Gu Jinghong calmly looking at her.

“Second Senior Brother.” Ye Danxia’s face lit up, her eyes instantly reddening. “I thought you never wanted to see me again.”

Gu Jinghong frowned.

He knew clearly what kind of person Ye Danxia was.

But for some reason, face to face with her like this, seeing her expression, he inexplicably felt his heart soften.

It was like… being bewitched.

Gu Jinghong suppressed this feeling and asked coldly, “Junior Sister Ye, what did you want? I have a lot to do tomorrow and want to rest early.”

Ye Danxia’s eyes flickered, and she put on an indignant expression. “Second Senior Brother! I heard about today’s events. How dare Yun Jin treat you like this? She’s completely lawless!”

“So?” Gu Jinghong said noncommittally. “Junior Sister Ye, you should know that under the master-servant contract, I can’t even harbor dissatisfaction towards her without being instantly sensed. I barely managed to come out tonight. If you have something to say, please be direct. If discovered, I fear the consequences won’t be pleasant.”

Gu Jinghong’s voice was flat.

But Ye Danxia seemed to hear endless resentment in it. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, “Second Senior Brother, tell me honestly, is Yun Jin trying to make you do things that violate sect rules?”

“For example, finding opportunities to kill those five senior brothers who offended her, or stealing rare herbs from the spirit fields? Second Senior Brother, if she really ordered such things, it’s a major violation of sect rules. I could report it to Master and have him punish her according to sect regulations!”

Gu Jinghong calmly looked at Ye Danxia and suddenly asked, “Are you suggesting I betray Yun Jin?”

Ye Danxia said, “How is that betrayal? What Yun Jin’s doing is wrong. I can’t stand seeing you bullied like this and want to help you get justice.”

A smile suddenly appeared on Gu Jinghong’s lips, his voice very soft, with a hint of eeriness in his smile.

“My dear Junior Sister.” Gu Jinghong suddenly stepped forward.

Ye Danxia’s heart trembled, and she instinctively stepped back.

She forced herself to say, “Second Senior Brother, is there… something wrong with what I said?”

Gu Jinghong applauded. “Nothing wrong at all. You’re quite right, Junior Sister. This scheme of yours is truly impressive.”

“What scheme?” Ye Danxia feigned ignorance.

“I report Yun Jin, and she naturally faces sect punishment. But with the contract in place, in her anger, she can use its power to kill me anytime. This way, Yun Jin is punished by the sect, and I die most thoroughly. Wouldn’t Junior Sister eliminate two major concerns in one go?” Gu Jinghong chuckled.

Ye Danxia’s heart jolted. “Second Senior Brother, how could you think that! With Master and the others around, she wouldn’t dare kill arbitrarily!”

Gu Jinghong said softly, “She might be calm at first, but what if Junior Sister specifically told her I betrayed her? An angry woman, holding my life in her hands, might send me to hell in a fit of rage. That’s reasonable, isn’t it?”

Ye Danxia’s gaze shifted. “Second Senior Brother, perhaps I didn’t think it through. I… I just didn’t want to see you used so casually by her.”

Gu Jinghong coldly stared at Ye Danxia for a long time before saying, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Junior Sister. But it’s just three months. I can endure. It’s late, I should head back now.”

Gu Jinghong turned to leave.

Suddenly, a muffled groan came from behind.

Gu Jinghong turned back in surprise.

He saw a small dagger in Ye Danxia’s hand, now plunged into her own abdomen.

She pulled out the dagger, blood flowing, and leaned against a tree in pain.

Gu Jinghong narrowed his eyes.

Amidst the blood, Ye Danxia smiled.

“Second Senior Brother, this dagger was a gift from you. I’ve kept it hidden all this time.” Ye Danxia said slowly. “Now, with this dagger in my abdomen, who do you think did this?”

Gu Jinghong squinted.

“You did,” Ye Danxia chuckled. “Under Yun Jin’s orders, you lured me out using my guilt, then tried to kill me. One the mastermind, one the executor, you both attempted to murder a fellow disciple. That’s a capital offense. Isn’t that right?”

Gu Jinghong couldn’t help but laugh.

Unexpectedly, her earlier words were just a smokescreen. She probably never expected him to actually accuse Yun Jin.

This move was the real killing stroke.

His Little Junior Sister truly left him no chance of survival.

Well played. Very well played.

“Senior Brother Gu, look, I’m bleeding,” Ye Danxia smiled again, seeing Gu Jinghong’s calm. “It’s fresh human blood. Don’t you want to drink it?”

The scent of fresh blood directly stimulated Gu Jinghong’s senses.

He pressed his lips tightly together.

A side effect of the Blood Qi Scripture was the need to drink blood.

As a righteous disciple, he might talk about drinking human blood, but he’d never actually do it.

Usually, he’d buy animal blood to suppress this terrible side effect.

But since being bound by Yun Jin, he hadn’t had fresh animal blood for days.

Gu Jinghong stared at Ye Danxia’s wound, his eyes slowly reddening. He moved forward and grabbed the dagger.

Losing rationality bit by bit, Gu Jinghong raised the dagger and lunged at Ye Danxia.

Far from panicking, Ye Danxia smiled with delight.

The next moment, as the dagger fell, a protective barrier lit up around Ye Danxia.

It was a protective talisman from Zhao Wuji, automatically activating in danger. It could block fatal attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators. Though it wouldn’t last long, it was enough for Zhao Wuji to arrive!

Gu Jinghong, having lost all reason, stabbed frantically at the barrier.

Soon, Zhao Wuji rushed to the scene.

Seeing Gu Jinghong’s crazed state, his expression turned furious!

This bastard!

He truly tried to kill Danxia!

Zhao Wuji flicked his sleeve, sending Gu Jinghong flying.

Gu Jinghong slammed hard against a tree, his meridians shattering and bones dislocating.

The intense pain left him immobile but restored some of his sanity.

Gu Jinghong lay on the ground, numbly staring at the starry sky.

This was his master.

His Junior Sister.

He had been utterly, completely abandoned.

“Wicked disciple!” Zhao Wuji, seeing Ye Danxia’s state, could barely contain his anger. He raised his hand to strike again.

Ye Danxia hurriedly said, “Master, don’t blame Second Senior Brother. He… he was just being controlled. The one who truly wanted to kill me is someone else.”

“It’s that Yun Jin,” Zhao Wuji said coldly. “This master will deal with Yun Jin, but this wicked disciple dared to harm you. No matter what, this master cannot forgive him. This master must…”

“Must what?”

A clear voice rang out.

Yun Jin appeared in the dense forest, smiling brightly.
