"Your senior brother?" Meng Cangyu repeated, and then looked at Chu Danfeng with some approval.
Chu Danfeng: “…???”
Hua Tingxuan nodded and hugged Chu Danfeng tighter, "If you don't believe me, Master, you can ask someone else."
Meng Cangyu glanced at the disciples, and they did not dare to deceive the stern leader of Lixu Peak. They all nodded in agreement, and everyone talked about the conflict just now. It was indeed Fang Qingya who drew the sword first.
It turns out that children don't lie.
Fang Qingya seemed to want to explain, but he spat out a mouthful of black blood. Meng Cangyu immediately used his spiritual power to feel his pulse, and then his face became even darker. Fang Qingya was already in the middle stage of the golden elixir, while Chu Danfeng's golden elixir had been shattered. Now he only had the foundation-building cultivation level, and he would definitely not hurt him to this extent.
"All the tendons and veins are broken. You are only a little bit away from regressing a major realm in your cultivation." Meng Cangyu pronounced in a deep voice.
To be able to hurt Fang Qingya so badly in a single night, one must be a powerful being at least at the level of a Spirit Transformation cultivator. Of course, there is no one like him here, so there is only one possibility.
"Your mind is unstable and you have gone astray. You even tried to distort the facts and put the blame on your junior brother... You should retreat to recuperate and go to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment after you have recovered."
It must be said that Chu Danfeng felt quite happy that he had defeated his arch-enemy Fang Qingya right after his rebirth.
But it’s not over yet.
Outside the peach forest of Lixu Peak, Meng Cangyu said with relief: "I didn't expect Xuan'er to get along so well with you."
"..." Chu Danfeng glanced at the little brat who had turned into a leg pendant, and said, "Master, my ability is limited. I am afraid I am not capable of educating my junior brother. Please take back your order."
Meng Cangyu looked at his disciple in surprise, and then took out a bottle of elixir from the mustard seed bag as if he understood something: "This is the Red Sun Pill you asked me for last time. It can nourish the Dantian, but the golden elixir is damaged, which means the root bones are injured. It is not easy to repair it. Don't rush for quick success..."
"Master!" Chu Danfeng did not take the pill, but took a step back and stood with his hands hanging down, "I... that's not what I meant."
Meng Cangyu frowned: "Could it be that you still want the Yaolang Fujin Grass? That kind of natural treasure is hard to come by, how can you force an opportunity?"
Chu Danfeng straightened his back: "No, Master, I just want to be myself for once."
Meng Cangyu snorted coldly: "So Qingya is not completely lying. Even you have a bad temper."
Chu Danfeng thought that his master would be furious, but he didn't expect that after Meng Cangyu snorted, there was actually a smile on his face: "That's quite appropriate, Xiaowu, you finally..."
He refused to bow down for a few pieces of silver, and finally showed some of Li Xufeng's pride.
"?" Chu Danfeng asked tentatively, "Master, can you please take back your order?"
Meng Cangyu: "No."
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Meng Cangyu bent down and touched Xiao Hua Tingxuan's head: "Master doesn't have time to take care of him personally, and your brothers are impatient and impatient, so we don't trust anyone to take care of him."
"Brother, please accept me. Xuan'er won't disturb you." I just want a place in your bamboo house so that I can see you every day.
"Dan Feng, I really have no other choice. Let me stay here first. Your second sister likes children. When she returns from her travels, if you still don't want to take Xuan Er in, you can make other plans. This child has a miserable life. His mother died early, and his father... He is now helpless and can only rely on the sect."
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Having said that, it would be really inhumane not to agree. Under the intense gazes of the two, Chu Danfeng reluctantly said, "Disciple obeys..."
At most, he could just keep the baby for a few days. In this life, he would never serve the little ancestor like an old nanny like before. For some reason, the little kid had set his sights on him. After staying with him for a long time, he realized that it was boring. Maybe it would be easier to send him away...
As soon as the master left, Chu Danfeng felt his clothes being tugged at.
Hua Tingxuan pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved, as if "Why don't you want me" was almost written on her face.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
I have to say, this kid is really good looking. Although he is far from being as handsome as an adult, he is cute enough as a baby. His white and tender cheeks have not lost their baby fat, and his big eyes almost take up half of his face. Even people who don't like children can't help but want to take a few more glances at him and rub his little head.
Chu Danfeng squatted down, and Hua Tingxuan's eyes immediately lit up and he called out "Senior Brother" expectantly.
Then he saw his senior brother stretched out his hand... and pinched his face hard, with quite a bit of force, and his soft, white face immediately turned red. Chu Danfeng still remembered the grudge of this brat whipping him, and angrily said, "You little bastard!"
But the baby obediently let him pinch and scold her. Not only did she not resist, but she threw herself into his arms, buried her little face in his robe, and cried in a muffled voice: "Brother, you scolded me well."
Brother, I deserve to be scolded.
Senior brother, I miss you so much.
Chu Danfeng: “???”
Did he strangle the child to death? Or was Sixth Junior Brother a bit stupid when he was young? After so many years, Chu Danfeng could not remember clearly what happened when Hua Tingxuan was a baby. The first thing he remembered was the tall and graceful young man holding a long whip.
He felt uncomfortable just thinking about it, and his back and buttocks seemed to still be aching.
Chu Danfeng tore the baby from his arms and wanted to pick up a branch to beat him up on the butt to avenge himself, but the little thing was not even as tall as his waist. As soon as he was pushed away, he pouted in grievance, looking pitiful and about to cry, and whispered, "Brother, don't abandon me again."
Chu Danfeng: “…”
No matter how big the hatred is, there is no way to take revenge on a baby. He rubbed his temples weakly and waved his hands, "Forget it, don't bother me, go and play by yourself."
However, this little thing doesn't seem to understand what "playing by itself" means.
Wherever Chu Danfeng went, he followed. No matter how he looked at him or how cold he was, Hua Tingxuan was like a follower that couldn't be shaken off. His baby fat face was still there, and he always had a fawning smile on his face, as if he was afraid that Senior Brother Chu, a living person, would disappear out of thin air at the next moment. He followed Chu Danfeng so cautiously and pitifully that he made Chu Danfeng feel guilty about abandoning a child.
However, Chu Danfeng could understand why the child was so insecure - in the huge Lixu Peak, there was no one else who could breathe except him.
After the master entrusted the younger junior brother to the task, he disappeared, most likely having gone to heal the injuries of his beloved disciple Fang Qingya. Second senior sister Ye Bailu was traveling outside at the moment and had not returned, while eldest senior brother Zhou Yuanshan was highly regarded by the head master. If he remembered correctly, he should have lived in Qianlian Peak most of the time in recent years, helping to deal with the affairs of the sect. As for third senior brother Huang Changtian, he was a rare flower in Lixu Peak and even in Shuangji Sect. He did not like to practice cultivation. Whenever he had time, he would either sneak down the mountain to the land of gentle women to drink wine, or hide in the bamboo house to read storybooks. He was the most useless disciple in the sect.
In his previous life, Chu Danfeng was a "diligent loser" and had to pretend to be diligent even when he was not practicing. He worked very hard. In fact, the person he envied the most in his heart was his third senior brother.
That's life!
Although he is only at the foundation-building stage now, a hundred years of life is no problem for him - this is also the condition agreed with the system, and Chu Danfeng is quite satisfied.
One should enjoy life while he can, but unfortunately he still has a burden around him. Chu Danfeng sighed sadly.
"Why is senior brother unhappy?" The little devil asked in a baby voice.
“…” Chu Danfeng thought, it’s all because of you.
"Brother, are you worried about the golden elixir?"
… This child has very sharp ears and listens to every word the adults talk.
Chu Danfeng stretched himself, put one hand under his head, bent one leg, and lay on his back on a big rock. He also took a dogtail grass and put it in his mouth in a sloppy manner, and said vaguely: "Little brats, don't meddle in adults' business."
A breeze blew, bringing fallen petals from the peach forest. It lifted the wide sleeves of her plain long dress, and the peach-pink petals fell all over Chu Danfeng. One petal stuck right between his eyebrows, making his face look even more like a lotus.
Hua Tingxuan raised her little hand, as if wanting to touch her brother's cheek, but in the end she just lowered her eyelashes and said, "Don't worry, brother. It's not difficult to reshape the golden elixir and restore your cultivation."
He clearly remembered that what Chu Danfeng was most concerned about in his previous life was his own cultivation. Although he did not have the ability he has now, it would only take a piece of cake for him to help his senior brother share his worries and find the so-called natural treasures that could nourish the golden elixir. However, he had always stood by and watched, and even made sarcastic remarks.
Hua Tingxuan had just turned seventeen that year, but he had already formed a fetus. He was a genius who was unprecedented and unparalleled in the entire world of cultivation. However, his senior brother Chu Danfeng, who had raised him personally, was still at the foundation-building stage. That day, Chu Danfeng found him hesitantly and asked his junior brother to help find a "Yao Lang Fu Jin Grass". It was said that this spiritual herb had a very unique personality and would only appear in front of young people with outstanding talents. It was so mysterious that it was like a legend in the world of cultivation. No one knew whether it really existed or was just a legend.
Hua Tingxuan was certainly worthy of the title of "extraordinary talent", but he was still young and inexperienced, and it was the first time he had heard of this miraculous medicine. He happily asked, "Brother, do you know where I can find it?"
Chu Danfeng casually reported a place name, and then said with longing: "If I can form a pill, I can go to the sect competition with my seventh junior sister."
Hua Tingxuan felt his heart suddenly sink, and he was furious. He said coldly, "I don't have time to look for rotten grass. Senior brother, you spend all day studying these unorthodox ways. How can you be accepted by the elegant hall? Participating in the sect competition will only make you a laughing stock and bring shame to the sect. It's better for you to stay at Lixu Peak and practice in seclusion."
What was Chu Danfeng's expression at that time? He seemed to have said nothing, pursed his lips and turned away, his back was bleak and desolate. He was so proud and sensitive, and he must have been very sad after hearing the ridicule from his junior brother. Hua Tingxuan wanted to chase him, but he didn't move in the end.
He himself was filled with a raging rage, and he hated and loathed his senior brother for no reason.
But it was not until several years later, when Hua Tingxuan held Chu Danfeng's corpse, that he suddenly realized that the anger was called "jealousy". What he hated and despised was not his senior brother himself, but that his senior brother's heart and eyes were filled with Seventh Junior Sister, and there was no room for him anymore.
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret. Hua Tingxuan held Chu Danfeng's body in seclusion for more than three years. Recalling the bad words he had said to his senior brother in the past, every word stabbed his heart like a knife and made him bleed. The person was in his arms, but the warmth was gone. He could not hear any "I'm sorry" or "I love you" from him.
Hua Tingxuan spent nearly a hundred years and finally completely refined the Soul-writing Pearl, allowing him to travel through the time and space gate and go through untold hardships to see this person again. This time, he wanted to ensure that his wishes came true and that he lived happily and would not allow anyone to bully him again.
He also wants his heart, his person, and he won't allow any woman to bother him.
“Tsk, you little brat, do you think reshaping the golden elixir is as easy as playing clay? It’s not that easy. If it breaks, it breaks. The whole sect knows that I’m daydreaming. How many people are living on this joke... Never mind, you’ll know after a while.” Chu Danfeng said nonchalantly.
Hua Tingxuan felt sick to his stomach after hearing this. It turned out that his senior brother knew everything.
It turned out that he had always known how everyone in the sect viewed him, but he still worked hard stubbornly. Everyone said that Chu Danfeng from Lixu Peak was the most shameless. For a little bit of training resources, he obeyed the teachers and was the number one lackey in Shuangji Sect, but in the end he was still a loser who stopped at the foundation-building stage.
Only Hua Tingxuan knew that his senior brother endured humiliation and must be a very proud person in his heart.
My brother has suffered a lot.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You look like you're about to cry." Chu Danfeng scratched his head, sat up, and rubbed the little guy's head helplessly, "Are you hungry? There are fasting pills in the bamboo house. If you're hungry, eat them first."
However, some people's heads cannot be rubbed, just like feeding a stray dog once, the dog will become more and more dependent on you. The little guy dived into Chu Danfeng's arms, as if he was acting coquettishly but without making any sound. After a while, he said in a sullen voice: "Brother, I want to eat rouge goose breast."
What a coincidence, rouge goose breast is Chu Danfeng's specialty. In his previous life, he often used goose jerky as a snack to entertain his children. I didn't expect that he would ask for it as soon as we met in this life. What a misfortune.
But he had already made up his mind not to be a nanny anymore, so Chu Danfeng hardened his heart and said, "I'm so tired today and don't want to cook. If you want to eat the fasting pill, eat it. If not, you'll starve."
As a result, the little guy was very obedient. He raised his chubby little face and said seriously, "Brother, don't move if you are tired. From now on, it's my turn to take care of you."
This made Chu Danfeng feel a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "You're quite sweet-talker." Why didn't I think this ungrateful boy was so good at talking before
But the fact proves that no matter how sweet a person is, he is still a naughty child.
Around the second watch of the night, there was a rustling outside the door for a long time. Chu Danfeng was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, and he really didn't want to get out of bed. He sent out a stream of spiritual power, and the door of the room opened. He saw the little guy who disturbed his sleep holding a small pillow, looking around a few times, then rushing into the bamboo house, closing the door, climbing onto the bed, and getting into Chu Danfeng's quilt. He did a series of actions in one go, as smoothly as flowing water, and he was very considerate and pulled the quilt himself.
"Brother, I am afraid of the dark and dare not sleep alone."
