Chapter 32 The Terrible Junior Brother
Wu Qinghuan thought for a moment, then said, "The time for the karmic fire to erupt should be at the end of the month."
"Huh? So fast?"
Xu Nian was stunned.
There are only a few days left until the end of the month.
Besides, how old is this kid? We can't just find him a Daoist partner at a time like this.
Dual cultivation now?
That's a bit of a joke.
Xu Nian was having a headache when she suddenly heard Wu Qinghuan say, "However, it seems that Senior Brother's physique can... suppress the effects of my karmic fire."
"Ok?"
Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, then looked at him blankly.
My constitution can suppress the effects of your karmic fire?
What is my body constitution?
Xu Nian has great talent, but when it comes to physique...
He has no special physical constitution.
Seeing Xu Nian's confusion, Wu Qinghuan explained, "This has nothing to do with you. It's just that my constitution allows me to sense that you and I are very... um... compatible, I mean in terms of constitution."
"Oh, is that so?"
Xu Nian's expression was rather strange, quite interesting.
What my junior brother said was somewhat ambiguous.
It's easy for people to feel that something is wrong.
It means something else.
"So what do I need to do at the end of the month?" Xu Nian asked.
Wu Qinghuan pursed her lips, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, "When the karmic fire erupts... I'll need to be immersed in a special medicinal solution to suppress it, and I'll need Senior Brother... to come with me..."
"Soak them all in the medicinal solution?"
"Okay." Wu Qinghuan nodded, turned her head to the side, and her ears turned a little red. "It doesn't need to be too long, just half an hour will do."
Xu Nian nodded in agreement without even thinking.
"no problem!"
Wu Qinghuan looked at him with some curiosity, as if wondering why he agreed so readily.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Xu Nian grinned. "Isn't it normal for a senior brother to help a junior brother? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The junior brother didn't say anything, but seemed to purse his lips.
But with his hair falling down, Xu Nian couldn't see him clearly.
Logically speaking, one wouldn't make such an expression.
I've already shown such dedication in helping him.
Why are you still pouting?
The strange demonic magic from earlier, as well as the side effects of the karmic fire backlash, have been explained.
Xu Nian's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.
He was afraid that his seemingly harmless junior brother, Wu Qinghuan, would turn evil early on.
That's trouble.
But now it seems that this kid is a bit cunning and petty.
But he's a very nice person.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked to spend money to help that child.
They would not risk being consumed by the karmic fire by forcibly taking action.
"Let's go see how the child is doing." Xu Nian said, getting up to leave.
After walking a few steps, he realized that Wu Qinghuan had not followed.
Looking back, I saw him looking at me with some displeasure.
She pursed her lips and frowned.
"What are you doing? Isn't that the person you're supposed to save?"
"I didn't say anything."
"Your expression speaks for itself, you brat."
"You're the brat!"
Wu Qinghuan seemed somewhat annoyed.
This guy's temper always changes very quickly.
She's nothing like the well-behaved and adorable girl she was at the beginning.
Xu thought about it and felt pain.
Could it be that he's going through a rebellious phase?
He should still be spanked!
A good scolding will suffice!
Waiting until we return to the sect!
Wu Qinghuan stopped talking nonsense and followed behind Xu Nian.
The two of them went to the next room together.
As soon as I entered the room, I was stunned.
They found the girl kneeling on the ground, kowtowing.
Xu Nian was both amused and exasperated. "What are you doing? Get up."
"I will never forget the kindness of my two benefactors. I have no way to repay them but to serve them like a slave!" The girl's voice was trembling with sobs.
She had figured it out in that short time.
It must have been these two benefactors who killed that man!
He avenged himself!
Wu Qinghuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said expressionlessly, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on gaining another junior sister."
"Go away, go away." Xu Nian gave him a disgruntled look.
This brat is getting bolder and bolder.
She used to be so cute.
It doesn't feel cute at all now.
They've even started making fun of themselves.
You were the one who asked me to save him, and now you're teasing me?
He deserves a beating! He needs to be taught a lesson!
"Get up first." Xu Nian looked at Xiao Xiao. "Since you are willing to join the Sword Sect, whether you are a servant or an outer disciple, you are considered our fellow disciple. There is no need to be so reserved and polite."
"Your kindness is immeasurable! I will never forget it!" The girl's face was streaked with tears, yet she remained very reserved and deeply respectful of the two men.
Xu Nian frowned.
If she continues like this, how can we have normal communication?
He had taken in a disciple for the sect, not a servant or slave.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
It seems like things won't change anytime soon. Let's wait until we bring him back to the sect tonight and see.
"Go take a bath and rest well at the inn this afternoon. We'll take you back to the sect tonight."
After Xu Nian finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something.
He then handed over a few more pieces of silver.
"If you get hungry, just ask the innkeeper to order some food. This amount of money should be enough."
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes reddened even more, and she looked like she was about to kneel down again.
Xu Nian moved even faster and caught her.
Without wasting any more words with the child, he said, "Okay, go take a shower first, we'll come back here tonight."
Xu Nian never expected to bring her to the temple fair.
On the one hand, she is very weak and looks very haggard.
I guess he knelt for several days.
Finally, I can rest.
Besides, it just felt a bit strange to bring her along, since it was just the two of them, including my junior brother.
What's more, Junior Brother Qinghuan gets jealous at the drop of a hat.
Despite being just a junior apprentice, he has a surprisingly strong possessive streak.
After giving a few more brief instructions, Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan left.
Just as I left the inn, I saw Wu Qinghuan speaking calmly.
"Senior brother, you're so kind to your new junior sister."
"Wu Qinghuan, are you never going to stop?"
"Does the senior brother like the junior sister more, or the junior brother more?"
Xu Nian looked at him, a smile appearing on her lips, and deliberately said, "Naturally, it's my junior sister."
"Ah."
Wu Qinghuan nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
She turned sharply to look at him, pursing her lips, "Who did you say?"
"Junior sister, didn't you say that I treat her very well?"
"..."
The junior apprentice, who had been feeling jealous, suddenly fell silent.
The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily a few times.
Then, a smile appeared on his face. "Okay."
For some reason, Xu Nian found his smile somewhat frightening.
It actually gave me a bit... creeps?
No, it's not that scary.
But something definitely feels... off...
After walking for a while, Xu Nian became increasingly flustered. After thinking for a moment, she finally spoke up, "Junior brother, actually, what I said just now was somewhat..."
Wu Qing's smiles are as beautiful as flowers, her beauty beyond compare.
He took Xu Nian's arm and pulled her into his arms.
"My husband, there's no need to explain. Qinghuan understands."
In an instant, Xu Nian got goosebumps all over her body.
The whole person felt like being struck by lightning.
Very well! So the retaliation came so quickly, huh!
That brat! It was indeed black when I cut it open!
Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
