My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Junior brother… is my extravagant hope

Zichen Valley is located in the south, and the climate is warm and spring-like all year round. It is completely different from the ice and snow scene of Taixuan Dao Sect in the north.The valley is full of exotic flowers and plants.The surroundings are full of aura, with pavilions and pavilions dotted among them, and the carved beams and painted buildings are extremely luxurious.

Shen Lanchuan was wearing a black Taoist robe, with an indifferent expression, and the cold aura around him was incompatible with the luxurious and glitzy environment in Zichen Valley.He did not cover his whereabouts. The guards and disciples in the valley saw the tall and lonely figure from a distance and felt the unfathomable pressure. They all remained silent. No one dared to come forward to respond. They only lowered their heads to avoid it and looked at each other with complicated eyes.

Although only a few of them had seen Shen Lanchuan when he was young, the iconic pure Jun sword on his waist was well known in the world of cultivation.

This nominally eldest son left home at a young age, and after joining the Taixuan Taoist Sect, his cultivation progressed rapidly. He achieved the rank of Immortal Lord at a young age and was already the top figure in the world of cultivation.He has a cold relationship with the Valley Master Shen Fu, and is a stranger to the other brothers and sisters in the Valley. He has almost never set foot here for hundreds of years. The servants can’t figure out his temperament, and naturally they dare not step forward to touch his troubles.

Shen Lanchuan didn’t look sideways and walked straight towards the Zichen Palace where the Valley Master lived. He had no good impression of this palace that looked gorgeous but actually harbored filth.

When passing through a courtyard full of rare and exotic flowers, a person suddenly turned out from the corner of the corridor in front, blocking Shen Lanchuan’s path.

The person who came was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe made of excellent materials, with beautiful jade on his waist. He had a handsome face and kind eyebrows.When he saw Shen Lanchuan, he immediately put on a perfect smile on his face, took a step forward and cupped his hands and said, “Brother? It’s really you. I have met my eldest brother before.”

Shen Xuzhi was the most beloved of Shen Fu’s many descendants, and he was considered the most promising person of Zichen Valley’s generation, besides Shen Lanchuan.It is said that her biological mother was once a saint from a small sect, and she was quite fond of Shen Fu.

Shen Lanchuan paused slightly and glanced at him indifferently. He did not stop or respond to the “big brother”. He just nodded slightly as a greeting and continued to move forward.

The smile on Shen Xuzhi’s face froze, obviously he didn’t expect Shen Lanchuan to be so cold.He hurriedly stepped aside to get out of the way, but then walked a few steps quickly to walk side by side with Shen Lanchuan. He said in a friendly tone, “Eldest brother has not been back to the valley for a long time, so he must be a little unfamiliar with the roads in the valley. Father specially sent me to pick you up. If there is anything I need from my younger brother, please feel free to ask me.”

Shen Lanchuan’s expression did not change, and his steps did not slow down. He just said lightly: “Don’t dare bother me.”

Four words, distant and polite, shattered the intimate atmosphere deliberately created by Shen Xu.

The smile on Shen Xuzhi’s face did not diminish, and he wanted to put his arm on Shen Lanchuan’s shoulders to show his closeness: “Brother is too polite, why should we brothers talk about trouble?”

Shen Lanchuan frowned and quickly avoided his touch.

“I have no intention of competing with you for the position of Valley Master, and you don’t have to come to please and test me.” Shen Lanchuan said bluntly.

Shen Xuzhi took back his hand, his smile still gentle: “Brother, I’m overthinking. I’m just doing my duty as a younger brother. Or am I forgetting about my younger brother after having a junior brother?”

Shen Lanchuan felt a wave of nausea: “Go away, you are not qualified to be compared with him.”

“Compared with Immortal Yu Heng, I am really just like the mud under my feet, not worth mentioning.” Shen Xuzhi laughed dryly and slowed down his steps wisely: “In this case, I won’t disturb my elder brother. My father should be in the Zichen Palace at the moment. Please, elder brother.”

Shen Lanchuan stopped looking at him and walked forward.Shen Xuzhi stood there, watching the dark figure disappear at the end of the corridor, the smile on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a touch of amusement.

Shen Fuben was a flamboyant and wanton person, and his Zichen Palace was even more magnificently decorated. The furnishings in the palace were extremely luxurious, with spiritual stones paving the floor, pearls as lamps, various rare antiques placed randomly, and a faint scent of precious incense filling the air.

Shen Lanchuan stepped into the palace, turning a blind eye to the luxury in front of him, and looked directly at the main seat in the palace.

There, sitting was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with handsome appearance and a bit of evil spirit.He was wearing a complicated purple suit with vivid phoenix patterns embroidered on the hem. He was holding a cup of tea and slowly sipping it.It is none other than the current owner of Zichen Valley, Shen Fu.

Seeing Shen Lanchuan come in, Shen Fu put down his tea cup, raised his eyes with a smile on his face: “Oh, you are so old, you are here, sit down quickly!”

The smile and tone made it seem like they were just an ordinary father and son with a close relationship reunited after a long absence.

Shen Lanchuan stood in the palace and did not salute, but nodded slightly: “Lord Shen Valley.”

Three words draw a clear line.

The smile on Shen Fu’s face faded a little, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.He waved his hand and signaled the disciples serving in the hall to retreat.

After the palace door closed and only the father and son were left, Shen Fu sighed with a hint of emotion in his tone: “We haven’t seen each other for hundreds of years, but you and your father are still so inseparable.”

Shen Lanchuan remained silent and had no reaction to his emotion.

Shen Fu didn’t care and thought to himself: “I’m very happy that you can come back to my father. You have made extraordinary achievements in the past few years. Although my father has not met you, he always pays attention to you and is deeply proud of you.”

He paused, his eyes became deep, and he got to the point: “My father has always kept the things your mother left behind in a safe place. They are her most cherished objects, and they must have special meaning to you.”

When it came to his mother, Shen Lanchuan’s indifferent eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation.He looked at Shen Fu, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Fu calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face again, but there was a certain undoubted meaning in that smile: “Lanchuan, you are my eldest son and the legitimate heir of Zichen Valley. You have been wandering away for these years, and my father understands that you are young and energetic and want to make your own way. Now that you have become famous, it is time to come back.”

He stood up and walked in front of Shen Lanchuan, his eyes blazing: “As long as you nod and are willing to inherit the position of the master of Zichen Valley, your mother’s legacy can be returned to you by your father immediately. Not only that, the resources and connections of the entire Zichen Valley will be used by you. With your talent and current cultivation, coupled with the foundation of Zichen Valley, it is not impossible to aspire to the top of the avenue in the future.”

Shen Lanchuan finally spoke, and he asked seriously: “Are you here to disgust me?”

“???” Shen Fu didn’t know why.

“Why do you think I am obsessed with my mother’s relics? During the years when I was in Zichen Valley, you ignored me. Could it be that she didn’t treat me coldly?” Shen Lanchuan asked.

Shen Fu remained silent, he really didn’t know anything about this.

No, Yun Yaoxi, I consider myself a scumbag father. I didn’t expect you, who usually looks gentle and sweet, to be no better.Shen Fu cursed in his heart.

Having lived in the big dye vat of Zichen Valley since he was a child, Shen Lanchuan matured much earlier than his peers.

Before Yun Yaoxi died, she played emotional cards a lot in order to get Master Daoxuan to accept Shen Lanchuan, so Shen Lanchuan also knew some of the past between the two of them.

Although the Yun Family in Wangyou City is not a top-notch sect, it can be considered an above-average force in the world of cultivation.

Young Yun Yaoxi met Cen Yunzhou, a fledgling Taixuan Taoist disciple, and the two fell in love with each other.However, Yun Yaoxi had ambitions and desires. She wanted to lead the Yun family to a higher level, so she married Shen Fu, the young master of Zichen Valley, and abandoned Cen Yunzhou.

Many years later, Yun Yaoxi became the wife of the owner of the valley who no one cared about in Zichen Valley and was about to die, while Cen Yunzhou became the supreme Daoxuan Master of Taixuan Taoist Sect.

She exchanged a token of love from her youth for a chance to meet, and humbly begged her lover, who had been abandoned by her, to accept her child.

“I know that I am not a good man. I am selfish, weak, clinging to others, and unreasonable. I vented the anger I received from Shen Fu on Shen Lanchuan. I beat and scolded this child at every turn, and even abandoned you like a worn-out shoe. I deserve the end I have now, but…”

The voice of the beauty on the hospital bed was choked with sobs: “The end has come, and the one I can’t let go of the most is him, and the one I can entrust to the most is you.”

Master Daoxuan is not a saint. He came to see Yun Yaoxi just to put an end to his young self. How could he really accept the child of his former best friend and her current husband?

But looking at Shen Lanchuan’s young and thin face and dark eyes, Master Daoxuan still felt compassion.

He brought Shen Lanchuan back to Taixuan Taoism and said that this would be Shen Lanchuan’s home from now on.Master Daoxuan cared deeply for Shen Lanchuan and gave Shen Lanchuan the kindness of an elder that he had never experienced before; his junior brother Ji Hantong was extremely trusting and close to Shen Lanchuan, giving Shen Lanchuan the friendship of peers that he had never experienced before.

In Shen Lanchuan’s heart, Taixuan Daozong is his home, Daoxuan Master is his father, and Ji Hantong… is his extravagant hope.

All people and things in Zichen Valley have no place in Shen Lanchuan’s heart.

Shen Fu also put away his pretended fatherly face and turned cold.

“Not long after the news of the death of Sect Master Xiao of Lan Yue Sect came out, you impatiently led me back to Zichen Valley to inherit the position of Valley Master. Why?” Shen Lanchuan approached step by step.

Shen Fu stared at Shen Lanchuan, his eyes became sharp, with the pressure of a long-time superior: “Shen Lanchuan, is this how you talk to your father?”

Shen Lanchuan met his gaze without giving in. The cold aura around him suddenly became sharp, like an unsheathed sword: “I only have master and junior brother.”

The air in the hall seemed to freeze, and the two of them released their spiritual pressure on each other.Although Shen Fu has advanced cultivation and has been the master of the valley for a long time, he still feels a little frightened when facing Shen Lanchuan, a top swordsman recognized by the world of cultivation.

But Shen Fu quickly adjusted his mood, softened his tone, and said with a persuasive tone: “Being a father is not a threat to you, I am just thinking about you. Lanchuan, the blood of the Shen family has always flowed in your body. This is an unchangeable fact. You should have a share in everything here. Are you really willing to be an outsider forever? No matter how good the Taixuan Taoist Sect is, it is not your root after all.”

“Roots?” Shen Lanchuan’s lips curled up with a faint, sarcastic arc, “My roots are in the Taixuan Taoist Sect.”

There are the teachings of the master, the chattering laughter of the junior brothers, the fragrance of tea in the Guanxue Pavilion, and every detail of living together for more than four hundred years.

That’s where he belongs.

Shen Fu choked at his words, and the anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.He knew that forceful persecution would have no effect on Shen Lanchuan’s temperament, and might be counterproductive.

He sat back on the main seat, picked up the tea cup, gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and then changed his approach: “Well, you have already made up your mind, and you are not forcing me as a father. Since you are willing to come back, you must have other purposes? Tell me.”

“In recent years, there have been more and more secret realm riots and various strange beasts. Not only the world of cultivation, but also the world of monsters and demons have suffered greatly. Are the Immortal Alliance and the six sects hiding something from the world?” Shen Lanchuan asked directly.

As the most “hard-working” immortal in the world of cultivation today, Shen Lanchuan has the most direct feelings about these things.

Shen Fu snorted coldly: “Why should I tell you?”

Shen Lanchuan finally showed his first smile today, “You don’t need to tell me.” Because your attitude said everything.

Having achieved his goal, Shen Lanchuan didn’t want to stay any longer. Just as he was about to leave, a jade messenger in his arms vibrated violently without warning.

It was an urgent summons from Taixuan Dao Sect, and it was the highest level.

Shen Lanchuan’s face changed slightly, and he immediately took out the jade talisman and penetrated his spiritual consciousness. Xin Xuezhen’s urgent and panicked voice instantly exploded in his mind:

“Senior Brother Mingshu, come back quickly! Senior Brother Yuheng was in the mission hall to suppress the mutation for Li Cangming, and his spiritual power was excessively depleted. The situation is critical!”

After hearing those words, Shen Lanchuan could no longer control his usually cold expression, his pupils shrank suddenly, all the smiles on his lips disappeared, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment.

Hantong… something happened?For that boy Li Cangming?

Extreme panic flooded him instantly like ice water, followed by overwhelming anger and indescribable distress.

He couldn’t stay any longer, turned around and wanted to leave, but the door of Zichen Palace closed with a bang.

“What do you mean?” Shen Lanchuan asked Shen Fu coldly.

“If you dare to stop me,” the sword energy around his body was booming, the shadow of the Pure Jun Sword loomed behind him, and the cold murderous intent filled the entire hall, “I don’t mind letting Zichen Valley’s blood flow into a river.”

Shen Fu also smiled, but this time his smile was sincere.

“Boy, you are still too young to fight with your father.”

He stepped down from the throne and walked up to Shen Lanchuan, “From the moment you stepped into Zichen Valley, my goal was achieved.”

———————–

The author has something to say: The combat power system is indeed a major weakness of mine. Because I was worried that I would not have the feel after finishing the previous chapter for too long, I seamlessly started Senior Brother. Senior Brother mainly writes around emotional scenes. The weakness of unclear combat power was not dealt with well. It is my fault. I will try to adjust it later.

This book will most likely not be very long, so if possible, I hope you won’t overdo it. I’ll try my best to get Xiao Shen to chew wood as soon as possible (bushi)

After V, we will tentatively add an update every time the nutrient solution reaches 500 and the Overlord Ticket reaches 50. Daily updates are basically between 6 pm and 10 pm. If something happens, I will leave a request for leave. I hope everyone will leave more comments. I like to read everyone’s comments [red heart] [red heart] [red heart]

Request for collection in advance [dog head holding rose]

Banxia novel, a lot of fun
