The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Yun Jin?

Zhao Wuji’s expression turned cold as he spoke harshly, “Yun Jin, since joining the sect, you’ve been arrogant and lawless! Yet this master, out of care for disciples, has repeatedly protected you! And how do you repay this master? Indeed, Jinghong signed a master-servant contract with you, agreeing to be at your disposal. But this doesn’t mean you can harm others at will!”

“Now you’ve ordered Jinghong to injure Danxia like this. If this master hadn’t arrived in time, Danxia might have lost her life! What do you have to say for yourself?”

Zhao Wuji spoke with intense anger.

Yun Jin glanced at Ye Danxia.

Ye Danxia clutched her abdomen, her face pale. “Little Jin, I thought we grew up together. Even with our recent conflicts, surely some of our old friendship remains. Do you… do you hate me so much that you must end my life?”

As she spoke, she coughed violently.

More blood seeped from her wound.

Zhao Wuji felt a pang of distress and quickly stepped forward, unhesitatingly feeding Ye Danxia a pill.

“Master…” Ye Danxia swallowed the pill, tightly grasping Zhao Wuji’s sleeve. “Little Jin is still my lifelong friend. No matter what, I don’t want to truly take her life. Please, Master, show mercy.”

“You really are…” Zhao Wuji’s gaze softened, feeling his little disciple was too kind-hearted.

Yun Jin watched the scene for a moment, then turned expressionlessly to Gu Jinghong on the ground.

Gu Jinghong maintained his sky-gazing posture, motionless.

Yun Jin walked over.

Gu Jinghong looked at her, his lips trembling, “I’m sorry, I…”

“Fool,” Yun Jin snorted coldly, kicking him. “Just that bit of blood made you go berserk! What have you been doing all these years?”

“Gu Jinghong: Early Nascent Soul. Blood Qi Scripture Level 4 (currently in a weakened state after going berserk.)”

Gu Jinghong felt numb and slowly repeated, “…Sorry.”

Not for tonight’s events, but for what happened before.

Now, he truly regretted it.

Deeply regretted it.

That Ye Danxia wasn’t worth falling to such a state for.

Fortunately, Yun Jin had escaped that day’s scheme, or he might still be dancing to that little Junior Sister’s tune.

Ye Danxia seemed to have a magical allure, irresistibly attractive.

If Gu Jinghong hadn’t personally experienced her quick changes of face several times, he might not have fully awakened.

Yun Jin snorted and stuffed two Restoration Pills into his mouth, begrudging the waste.

These Restoration Pills were painstakingly refined by her, and giving them to Gu Jinghong felt like a terrible waste.

But there was no choice; she still needed him later.

The second-grade Restoration Pills Yun Jin now refined were typically used for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, being perfect quality, they could have considerable effect even on Golden Core cultivators.

Gu Jinghong was at Nascent Soul, but his vital areas like the dantian weren’t damaged. Using Restoration Pills to repair some meridians and bones was feasible.

Usually, given their preciousness, Restoration Pills weren’t used unless the dantian was injured. Normally, a more common Dew Pill would be used in such situations.

So when the pill entered his stomach, Gu Jinghong was shocked.

This… this feeling was a Restoration Pill.

And its potency suggested a third-grade Restoration Pill! Third-grade Restoration Pills could repair a Golden Core cultivator’s dantian, priceless to those in need.

Now, Yun Jin had him take one just to repair his tendons and bones?

With injuries like his, he could have slowly recovered on his own.

Gu Jinghong’s lips trembled.

Restoration Pills were so precious, yet she was willing to use them on him like this?

“What’s that look!” Yun Jin slapped his face in disgust. “Hurry up and absorb the medicine!”

Gu Jinghong fell silent, then nodded hard and began absorbing the medicinal power.

“Why so slow,” Yun Jin grew impatient and quickly stuffed another Restoration Pill into his mouth.

She had refined these Restoration Pills herself and had plenty on hand.

Gu Jinghong couldn’t turn his neck to see the pill’s transparency, but judging by its potency, he suspected it was another third-grade Restoration Pill. His face changed.

As the Sect Leader’s second disciple, no one knew better than him how the Sect Leader suppressed Celestial Sword Peak behind the scenes. With Divine Pill Peak Master Huo Lie’s cooperation, Celestial Sword Peak could hardly obtain any good pills.

How difficult must it have been for Yun Jin to save these third-grade Restoration Pills?

Yet she unhesitatingly gave them to him!

Gu Jinghong pressed his lips tightly, feeling conflicted.

The master and Junior Sister he’d protected at all costs now wanted him dead.

The Yun Jin he’d schemed against was giving him precious pills to heal his wounds.

This world was truly bizarre.

By the time Gu Jinghong could barely stand, Ye Danxia had regained some color with Zhao Wuji’s personal help in absorbing the medicine.

But her abdomen still bore that shocking wound, as if deliberately left there.

Zhao Wuji had been busy treating Ye Danxia earlier and hadn’t paid much attention to Yun Jin and Gu Jinghong. In his view, these two were already doomed, not worth much concern.

But in this short time, Gu Jinghong could already stand, which surprised Zhao Wuji.

He had seen Yun Jin feed Gu Jinghong something but couldn’t make out what. Now it seemed quite effective. The Celestial Sword Peak people must really dote on this Yun Jin, casually giving Foundation Establishment disciples pills effective even for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Zhao Wuji couldn’t be bothered with such details. He said coldly, “Yun Jin, Gu Jinghong, you two have plotted against fellow disciples. This is a capital offense. This master decides…”

“Whether it’s a capital offense might not be for the Sect Leader alone to hastily conclude,” Lin Ya’s voice came through.

Zhao Wuji frowned.

Looking back, he saw Lin Ya and several Celestial Sword Peak members had arrived at some point.

“Do you mean to shield these two murderers?” Zhao Wuji said coldly.

Lin Ya, briefed earlier by Yun Jin, calmly replied, “Shield? When Ruan Jun tried to kill Little Jin, isn’t he still living well now?”

Zhao Wuji coldly said, “How can that be the same? If this master hadn’t arrived in time, Danxia would already be dead! Even with this master rushing over immediately, Danxia is still gravely injured, her life hanging by a thread! If this master hadn’t brought medicine, she might already be gone.”

Lin Ya looked at Ye Danxia, pale-faced in Zhao Wuji’s arms, and smiled.

He said calmly, “I’m skeptical about how Ye Danxia was injured. If the Sect Leader wants to pass judgment, then according to sect rules, it should be handed over to the Disciplinary Hall for public trial. Given the serious nature of this matter, at least five peak masters or higher sect elders should be present as observers.”

Lin Ya stared steadily at Zhao Wuji. “A public trial would be the proper procedure. What does the Sect Leader think?”

Zhao Wuji frowned, glancing at the pitiful Ye Danxia in his arms. He felt that Yun Jin had clearly ordered Gu Jinghong to commit this crime, and he hadn’t manipulated anything.

Even with a public trial, it would only reveal Yun Jin’s true nature to everyone.

If so, what harm was there in a public trial?

Zhao Wuji, not noticing the flash of unease on Ye Danxia’s face, said calmly, “Then, as you wish. Tomorrow at the Disciplinary Hall, we’ll publicly try this case! It merely allows your little disciple to live one more night.”

Zhao Wuji looked coldly at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin rolled her eyes at him.

Her eye-rolling skill was maxed out, guaranteed to convey its mocking intent.

Zhao Wuji’s expression cooled slightly as he picked up Ye Danxia and turned to leave.

Throughout the entire process, he didn’t even spare a glance at Gu Jinghong.

Gu Jinghong leaned against a tree, a cryptic smile on his lips.

Being so thoroughly abandoned, he need not have any reservations in his future actions.

A glint of extreme madness flashed in Gu Jinghong’s eyes.
