The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Ye Danxia, thrown to the ground, looked utterly incredulous.

Though she knew that after recent events, Gu Jinghong couldn’t possibly still care for her, seeing him treat her coldly while meticulously attending to another woman left Ye Danxia feeling deeply unsettled.

It was as if all the treatment that should have been hers had been forcibly taken by Yun Jin!

Seeing Ye Danxia’s pitiful state, Zhao Wuji angrily berated, “Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! Gu Jinghong, you’re only a servant for three months, yet you’ve completely adopted her haughty manner. Your Little Junior Sister is already so badly injured by you, and not only do you show no remorse, but you dare lay hands on her again. How are you any different from a demon?”

Zhao Wuji couldn’t intervene personally, but with one glance, several disciples rushed to help Ye Danxia up.

Ye Danxia stood there, looking weak and wronged. She said softly, “Master, please don’t be harsh on Second Senior Brother. I… I can stand.”

As she spoke, Ye Danxia cast a pitiful glance at Yun Jin.

Adding another chair would be simple, but she just couldn’t stand Yun Jin taking what was rightfully hers.

“What are you looking at?” Yun Jin raised her chin. “I’m short a maid. Why don’t you stand behind me and be my maid? Then I’ll overlook what happened before.”

Yun Jin spoke seriously, truly giving Ye Danxia a chance.

A flash of humiliation crossed Ye Danxia’s face as she stared at Yun Jin in disbelief.

The public trial was about to begin, yet this woman still dared to be so brazen?

Her, a noble Celestial Spirit Root?

Become her maid?

What a ridiculous delusion.

She was about to say something when Gu Jinghong whined pitifully, “Master, I don’t want to stand with her.”

Isn’t one servant enough?

Yun Jin glanced at him disdainfully. “The more servants I have, the better. You have no right to any opinion.”

Gu Jinghong’s eyes reddened slightly, looking even more wronged. He even glared at Ye Danxia, as if seeing her as some imagined rival.

Ye Danxia: “???”

Had her Second Senior Brother gone mad?

Ye Danxia couldn’t help saying, “Little Jin! You ordered Second Senior Brother to hurt me. I’m the victim here. I’m willing to give you a chance too. Why don’t you be my maid instead? Then we can let this matter drop.”

Feeling she had regained some ground, Ye Danxia finally smiled.

Yun Jin looked at her indifferently. “Since you’ve made your decision, there’s no turning back now. Ye Danxia, you’d better watch yourself.”

Yun Jin spoke casually, but for some reason, Ye Danxia’s heart skipped a beat.

Had she left any flaws in last night’s events?

Why… why was Yun Jin so confident?

“Hall Master Yue, why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and start the trial!” Yun Jin looked at Yue Lin with displeasure.

One sat high, one sat low.

But judging by their bearing, Yun Jin seemed more like the judge.

Yue Lin gritted his teeth!

Was he daydreaming?

Wasn’t it you who kept talking, not giving him a chance?

Yue Lin snorted coldly and said, “Last night, Gu Jinghong exploited Ye Danxia’s guilt to lure her to Celestial Sword Peak, then gravely wounded her in the dense forest and attempted to kill her. If not for her protective talisman, Ye Danxia would already be dead. Moreover, Yun Jin was lurking nearby. Given the master-servant contract, we reasonably suspect that Gu Jinghong’s actions were on Yun Jin’s orders. The Sect Leader witnessed all this personally; it cannot be false.”

“Now, according to sect rules, we’re conducting a public trial. Yun Jin, do you have any objections to my description?”

Yue Lin finished speaking, staring intently at Yun Jin.

Last time, Ruan Jun suffered greatly at Yun Jin’s hands and was still in seclusion on the back mountain.

Consequently, he too had endured Zhao Wuji’s cold shoulder for a long time.

Zhao Wuji doted most on this little disciple. This time, with Ye Danxia’s incident, he was determined to handle it flawlessly.

“I object,” Yun Jin said lazily. “Everything you said is nonsense.”

Yue Lin’s face changed.

Zhao Wuji exploded in anger. “Yun Jin, this master saw it with his own eyes. How could it be false?”

“Sect Leader,” Yun Jin looked at him in disbelief. “Even mortals know that seeing isn’t always believing. How can someone of your cultivation say something so absurd?”

Zhao Wuji’s face darkened. “Then tell me! How could this be false? The wound on Danxia’s body is still visible!”

Ye Danxia timely displayed a weak expression.

Yun Jin spoke unhurriedly, “According to the Hall Master’s words, Gu Jinghong first gravely injured her at a glance, then tried to kill her, correct?”

Yue Lin nodded. “Such behavior is truly inhuman.”

“While I agree he’s inhuman,” Yun Jin smiled, “regarding this incident, let me ask: Ye Danxia escaped Gu Jinghong’s assassination attempt because of her protective talisman, right? If she could be ambushed, could this automatic defensive talisman also be ambushed?”

“What nonsense are you…” Yue Lin was saying when his expression suddenly changed.

“If it’s a passively triggered defensive talisman, shouldn’t it have reacted when Ye Danxia was first ambushed? How could Gu Jinghong possibly have wounded her severely?” Yun Jin pointed out.

“This…” Sweat suddenly appeared on Yue Lin’s forehead. He glanced at the Sect Leader.

A flash of shock appeared in Zhao Wuji’s eyes.

He couldn’t help looking at Ye Danxia.

The cause and effect here indeed had some issues.

“Danxia,” Yun Jin looked at the flustered Ye Danxia, smiling brightly. “I’ve heard that such talismans only fail to activate automatically in one situation. That is… when one harms oneself. The origin of your wound is now crystal clear.”

The onlookers instantly burst into whispers.

There were indeed unexplainable aspects here.

So, Ye Danxia had really stabbed herself to frame Gu Jinghong. That was truly… too vicious.

As the crowd looked at this seemingly frail Junior Sister Ye, their expressions changed.

Even the Senior Brother Wang who had been teaching Ye Danxia about herbs was among these disciples, and his thoughts began to shift.

No matter how talented this Junior Sister Ye was, it would be best to keep some distance. After all, Gu Jinghong had fallen to his current state for standing up for her, yet she unhesitatingly schemed against him.

If it were him, no matter how wholeheartedly he taught her, she wouldn’t hesitate to scheme against him if any conflicts arose in the future.

Ye Danxia seemed to sense this change. Her eyes instantly reddened, and her voice trembled, “You… you’re talking nonsense!”

Her mind raced as she spoke softly, “My protective talisman was specially crafted by Master. It needs to be manually activated! I didn’t expect Second Senior Brother to ambush me and didn’t activate the talisman, which is why he succeeded!”

As she spoke, Ye Danxia looked pleadingly at Zhao Wuji.

Generally, items used to protect low-level disciples would automatically trigger when attacked.

There was no reason for Zhao Wuji not to add this feature to Ye Danxia’s talisman.

By saying this, Ye Danxia was gambling.

Gambling that Zhao Wuji would favor her.

Gambling that Zhao Wuji would help cover up her lie.
