Chapter 21
The next morning, Yun Chuyou regretted taking in Zhong Wei yesterday, because as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Meng He coming out too and he let out a loud shout, "How come you two came out of the same room?"
Even though he was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, Yun Chuyou was still startled by the sharp sound that hurt her ears. She felt a buzzing in her head, covered her ears, and looked helpless, "It’s not a big deal, why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning? You’ll scare the birds out of the trees."
Meng He said confidently, "Then I should sleep with you too! You are her Elder Martial Sister and also my Elder Martial Sister, I want fairness!"
Although Meng He didn’t have much cleverness, his instinct made him competitive. He wanted to have everything good, and he pointed out directly that as Elder Martial Sisters, Yun Chuyou shouldn’t treat them differently! His boldness sometimes made people really puzzled.
When those words were said, the birds in the trees weren’t scared to death by Meng He, but the other people in the house who were serving them were indeed frightened.
This way of speaking was quite bold; it sounded like they were not serious disciples of a proper sect.
Looking at Yun Chuyou, then at the Ninth Young Master, and finally at the other two cultivators, all four of them were young and beautiful, with smooth and bright hair, especially their Ninth Young Master, who could be called a rare beauty in the world.
Could it be that the Ninth Young Master really joined that famously romantic and unruly Hehuan Sect, and together with these two, became this female cultivator’s furnace?
Yun Chuyou did not see the expressions on these people’s faces and did not know that her reputation had been seriously damaged by a word from Meng He.
She pressed her temples in frustration, "What are you talking about, Meng He? How old are you? Why are you acting like a child? The younger martial sister is a female cultivator; you can’t possibly be confused about your own gender."
Meng He replied angrily, "Cultivators should be free and carefree. Why should we care about society’s opinions? Senior martial sister, you are discriminating against us male cultivators!"
He also pulled over Yu Jiu, who looked a bit gloomy, "Yu Jiu, you think Elder Martial Sister is unfair too, right?"
Yu Jiu lowered his gaze, "The senior martial sister is indeed biased."
Wasn’t he just as charming as Zhong Wei? Was he not as beautiful as Zhong Wei? The two of them were not that far apart in age; he had only come to Qingxu Sect six months earlier than Zhong Wei.
It was truly unfair that he was kicked out by Yun Chuyou yesterday while Zhong Wei was allowed to stay and sleep with her. Even though he understood the differences between men and women, he still felt a subtle displeasure. For the first time, he agreed with Meng He’s viewpoint. This time, the Elder Martial Sister did not treat everyone fairly; it was indeed unjust.
Since Meng He was willing to take the lead, Yu Jiu could not say such blunt and reckless words, but he could choose to stand with Meng He to show their condemnation of the Elder Martial Sister’s bias.
"What a ridiculous mess!" Yun Chuyou initially wanted to say that he did not have the tragic pasts of the younger martial sister; did he really need comfort and companionship at his age?
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them, as it involved her younger martial brothers and sisters’s privacy, and she did not want to bring up her sad matters.
Moreover, when she woke up this morning, she noticed that there were even more servants in the house than yesterday, and Yun Chuyou suddenly lost her interest in speaking.
However, she could not just let Meng He off lightly; with a flick of her hand, a ruler appeared, and she tapped Meng He with a gentle but firm touch, "Recite the rules a hundred times and submit it within three days."
It is said that men remain boys until they die, and Meng He really hasn’t changed much over the years. To say it nicely, he is innocent, but to say it bluntly, he is rather reckless. In the original story, Meng He, who possessed the Demon Bone, instantly turned into a demon and later even took control of the Demon Realm. He gained incredible power, but his bad personality remained unchanged.
Even with his beloved heroine Song Mingzhu, Meng He still acted like a typical teenager, self-centered like the main characters in domineering CEO stories.
Over the past few years, Yun Chuyou has tried to improve his bad personality, after all, Meng He is still young and inexperienced, but it seems that the path to change is long and difficult.
Of course, another troublemaker also needs to be punished, "Second Junior Brother, you must also recite the rules a hundred times."
"Elder Martial Sister, I don’t know what I did wrong?" Yun Chuyou is a fair Elder Martial Sister who rarely punishes anyone unjustly. Faced with this unusual punishment, Yu Jiu chose to question it.
Yun Chuyou responded, "Junior Martial Brother Meng He is being punished, but you are not. Your mind has been disturbed by the world; focus on the rules to calm yourself."
She indeed punished him for being thoughtless and found a suitably grand excuse. After all, Yu Jiu truly needs to calm down and gather his thoughts in order to make the right choice without regret.
Even the ghost child should also have inner demons. Apart from monsters like Meng He, whether human, ghost, or even fairy, everyone can have inner demons. Even Meng He is not simply a pure monster.
Meng He has always been thoughtless, so how could Yu Jiu not be? He is just deliberately causing trouble. Yun Chuyou does not feel guilty for punishing him, as this incident was originally started by Yu Jiu.
At this moment, her drowsiness was gone, and reason took back control of her mind. Thinking about last night’s scene made her want to laugh in anger; both of them were doing it on purpose—Yu Jiu was, and Zhong Wei probably was too.
Yun Chuyou decided to learn from her pain and realized that chatting at night is not suitable; it often leads to overflowing compassion and wrong decisions.
Yu Jiu paused for a moment and said, "Junior brother understands, thank you for your concern, senior martial sister."
"By the way, let’s go to the bookstore first."
Stores in the cultivation world mainly sell techniques, and storybooks are rare; basic reference books are even harder to find. After all, the ultimate goal of a cultivator is to attain the Dao and successfully ascend.
Yun Chuyou has no interest in writing a book herself, so she might as well buy a book on common knowledge for her junior brothers from a Mortal World bookstore. She truly couldn’t teach well, so it’s better for these fellows to read and learn on their own, to avoid saying nonsensical things like today. Don’t think she knows nothing; the people serving in the Yu family’s hot spring villa look at her in a very strange way.
Previously, I didn’t know about the Spirit Connecting Jade, and communication among cultivators was limited. She understood well how scary rumors could be, and they often became more exaggerated as they spread. After completing a task and returning to the spiritual world, her Qingxu Sect might be seen as a disreputable sect.
Everything is for the reputation of Qingxu Sect!
She was not unfair, "Younger martial sister, from now on we should sleep separately. You are already grown up and need to learn to be independent. The senior martial sister has slept alone since she was five years old."
Zhong Wei lowered her head sadly, "Oh." The other two were happy to hear this. If they couldn’t have it, then Zhong Wei shouldn’t be allowed to have it either!
The younger martial sister was indeed sweet and soft, but sadly she was still used to being alone. Since arriving in this cultivation world, those first few days she was anxious and always had nightmares, but with Xie Fuzhi as her master nearby, she found comfort.
The servants were far away, but among those sent by the Yu family today, there were some Qi Refining cultivators. Even from a distance they could see and hear, and at this moment, they were wide-eyed, truly witnessing an improper female cultivator and her three little pets. Looking at their expressions, it seemed they were fighting for attention.
The wronged Yun Chuyou sneezed; cultivators don’t get sick easily, so someone must be talking about her. She had no worries in the spiritual world, could it be her master? The Spirit Connecting Jade couldn’t contact cultivators in the spiritual world, so she didn’t know what her master was doing at that time.
However, Yun Chuyou smiled at the thought. What could Xie Fuzhi be doing? Most likely he was either sleeping or fishing.
At this moment, she would never have guessed that Xie Fuzhi was neither drinking nor fishing; he was not even in Qingxu Sect. Instead, he had gone alone to the Tianyuan Sect, which had once taken most of Qingxu Sect’s resources. While his disciple was away, he had something very important to do.
