Chapter 6. This Master, I Chose Correctly
“Little Jin…” Ye Danxia’s lips trembled. “Why, why are you saying these things? I… I…”
Not knowing what to say, Ye Danxia simply covered her face and began to sob.
She didn’t need to say anything more. Her tears immediately changed Zhao Wuji’s expression, while Ruan Jun’s face showed indescribable heartache.
“Yun Jin!” Ruan Jun angrily shielded Ye Danxia behind him. “Apologize! I demand you apologize right now!”
A faint smile curved Yun Jin’s lips. “Oh? What should I apologize for? That I spoke the truth, leaving certain people speechless, forcing them to use tears to hide their ungrateful, less-than-animal nature? Fine. Consider what I just said as my apology.”
Ye Danxia’s heart trembled. She wiped her tears and said with red-rimmed eyes, “Little Jin! How can you think of me like this after so many years of friendship!”
“Friendship? No, didn’t you say you were just a maid in my Yun family, and that the Yun family didn’t treat you well at all? You, a mere maid, and I, the legitimate daughter of the Yun family. What right do you have to be my friend?” Yun Jin sneered.
Ye Danxia’s words were utterly contradictory.
If the Yun family had treated her poorly, how could she have been good friends with Yun Jin for years?
If the Yun family had saved her and treated her extremely well, then Ye Danxia’s earlier statements…
The crowd’s gaze towards Ye Danxia became somewhat strange.
Ye Danxia tried hard to say something but couldn’t, her entire face turning the color of a pig’s liver!
Seeing this, Ruan Jun only felt heartache. He angrily said, “Yun Jin! Junior Sister just said a few casual words, why are you fixating on them? Besides, didn’t Junior Sister say she’s willing to take you in? Isn’t that enough to repay the Yun family’s kindness? Or are you trying to exploit their kindness, wanting even more?”
Yun Jin glanced at him, saying expressionlessly, “So, you can’t understand human speech? I don’t need her to take me in. Why should I give up being a proper person to be her dog?! Oh, you might like being a dog. After all, you look very much like a bootlicker.”
Ruan Jun didn’t know exactly what “bootlicker” meant.
But it certainly didn’t sound like a compliment!
His face also began to redden. “You’re talking nonsense!”
Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Lin Ya, your disciple is so disrespectful. Aren’t you going to discipline her?”
Lin Ya leisurely took a sip of wine. “I don’t see anything wrong with what Little Jin said.”
He stood up. “Come to think of it, my disciple has already mastered the Xuan Formula and earned a place in the sect. As for this Ye Danxia, she hasn’t even entered the sect yet, but keeps talking about making my disciple her maid. Is she worthy?”
Lin Ya’s expression was disdainful, causing Ye Danxia’s face to pale slightly.
“Junior Sister is a Celestial Spirit Root. Her entry into the sect is only natural,” Ruan Jun said.
“Is that so? Then what’s the point of this second round of testing? If I were her, I’d focus on comprehending the Xuan Formula first. When the time comes, if such a grand Celestial Spirit Root can’t even make it into the top ten, I might as well smash my head against this hall and die.”
After speaking, Lin Ya looked mischievously at Ruan Jun. “Oh, right. Didn’t you say earlier that if my disciple could cultivate the Xuan Formula, you’d smash your head and die? Why don’t you two make an appointment and die together?”
Yun Jin glanced at her newly accepted master, a smile curving her lips.
It seemed she hadn’t chosen the wrong master.
Ye Danxia looked back at the plaza. While she had been entangled with Yun Jin, the other disciples had been trying to block out the surrounding noise, focusing hard on cultivating their Qi.
Ye Danxia grew slightly anxious.
She was a Celestial Spirit Root, destined to stand at the peak. How could she lose to others?
Seeing Ruan Jun’s displeased face, about to speak up for her again, Ye Danxia quickly pulled at him. “Senior Brother, thank you for speaking up for me. But Peak Master Lin is right. I haven’t entered the sect yet. I believe this is why Little Jin doesn’t trust me.”
She looked at Yun Jin. “Little Jin, don’t worry. I’ll cultivate my Qi as quickly as possible! I’ll show you that I truly have your best interests at heart.”
After speaking, afraid of being embarrassed again, Ye Danxia hurriedly returned to the plaza, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
As Ye Danxia retreated, Yun Jin glanced at her indifferently.
This Ye Danxia wouldn’t give up so easily. If for nothing else, she wouldn’t give up for the sake of the ancestral ring in Yun Jin’s possession.
But Yun Jin didn’t care.
If Ye Danxia didn’t come looking for her, she’d have to go find Ye Danxia herself.
Without the female lead, her entourage, and the future male lead’s contributions, where would her emotional value come from?
This round, her emotional value had finally stabilized at fifteen hundred points.
It was a decent start.
“Sect Leader, I’ve already accepted a disciple. I won’t watch the rest of the test. I’ll take Little Jin back to Celestial Sword Peak now,” Lin Ya said.
Zhao Wuji gave him a cold look. “Do as you please.”
Lin Ya seemed not to notice his unpleasant expression and turned to Yun Jin. “Come, let me introduce you to your useless Senior Brothers and Sister.”
“Yes,” Yun Jin responded crisply.
The master and disciple pair left in a grandiose manner.
Zhao Wuji watched their retreating figures, his expression somewhat gloomy.
After a long while.
He gave a cold laugh.
A mere Five Element Root, even with some comprehension ability, what waves could she possibly make?
For now, bound by sect rules, and considering Lin Ya’s injury was sustained for Tianxing Sect, he couldn’t directly do anything to Lin Ya.
But.
In three months, when he loses his position as peak master.
By then, whether it’s Lin Ya or his newly accepted disciple, won’t they be at his mercy?
In Zhao Wuji’s mind, Lin Ya and Yun Jin were nothing more than grasshoppers after autumn, not able to jump around for much longer.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, no longer concerned.
On a flying sword.
Lin Ya leisurely flew with Yun Jin, saying, “Today is Tianxing Sect’s recruitment day. A batch of disciples was sent to help, while the others should be cultivating now. It’s past noon, approaching the hour of Shen (3:00-5:00 PM). Your Senior Brothers and Sister are quite diligent; they should be practicing in the training ground now. I’ll take you to meet them.”
Lin Ya introduced, “You have two Senior Brothers and one Senior Sister. Your Eldest Senior Brother is Yue Zhao. He’s honest and dependable, very much like an elder brother. Your Second Senior Sister is Si Wanning. She has a bit of a temper but is very protective of her own. Your Third Senior Brother is Yu Songnian. He’s somewhat introverted and doesn’t like interacting with outsiders. Spend some time with him, and you’ll gradually become familiar.”
Yun Jin memorized all of this.
Lin Ya quickly brought Yun Jin to Celestial Sword Peak.
Currently, Celestial Sword Peak had only Lin Ya and his three disciples, plus Yun Jin, making a total of five people.
“No need to go anywhere else. They must be at the training ground,” Lin Ya said. “Your Senior Brothers and Sister are quite diligent.”
He quickly led Yun Jin to the training ground.
However.
At the training ground, forget about people, not even an ant could be found.
Lin Ya: “???”
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he said, “They might have gone to the back mountain to practice sword techniques.”
Yun Jin blinked.
Really?
