My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 5
byChapter 5 Chapter 5 Why is senior brother angry?
System 0621 was still chattering excitedly in his mind: “Congratulations to the host on the successful completion of the second phase of the core mission! Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result is perfectly in line with the original work. The male protagonist has successfully become a disciple. Your points have been credited. Host, you can redeem more…”
“Shut up.” Ji Hantong interrupted in a low voice.
System 0621’s voice stopped suddenly, obviously startled by the host’s rare cold tone.
Ji Hantong raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling more tired than ever before.
Xin Xuezhen and others thought that the words “shut up” were meant for them, and they did not dare to express their anger for fear of making Ji Hantong unhappy.
Ji Hantong also found that his mood was not right, and stood up irritably to say goodbye to Xin Xuezhen.
“I’m sorry, Master, I’ve been in poor health recently, so I’m going back first.”
Xin Xuezhen is eager to send him back to rest now. He shouldn’t send news to these two ancestors. What’s the matter!
Finally, the most silent disciple recruitment conference in the history of Taixuan Taoism came to an end.Li Cangming followed Ji Hantong back to Cangwu Peak, and the mission was completed perfectly.
Ji Hantong never thought that one day his senior brother would show such obvious displeasure or even sadness because he wanted to accept a disciple.
“System,” Ji Hantong’s voice was dry, “Tell me, senior brother, what exactly do you think?”
System 0621 was silent for a moment and seemed to be carefully organizing the words: “Host, according to data analysis, the behavioral pattern of Mingshu Immortal Lord Shen Lanchuan deviated from the original setting when we came to this world. However, the source of this deviation cannot be accurately analyzed by this system. Human emotional logic is too complex and cannot be easily understood by machines, especially when it involves irrational factors such as jealousy and possessiveness…”
“Jealous?” Ji Hantong repeated the word, then laughed and shook his head, “How is that possible, senior brother…”
He wanted to say how could his brilliant and noble-minded senior brother be jealous over such a trivial matter.But the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. Senior brother’s reaction at the apprenticeship meeting today, and his words “I will be sad”, really cannot be explained by common sense.
Is he really jealous?Who are you jealous of?
Ji Hantong sighed and forced himself to focus back on the task, “It’s better to settle Li Cangming first.”
Li Cangming was standing in front of the small independent courtyard assigned to his direct disciples, feeling a little embarrassed.
The small courtyard is quiet and elegant, which is many times better than the dilapidated wooden house in the Outer Gate Gate.There is a spiritual spring in the courtyard, several clumps of green bamboo, and a small medicinal garden.The furnishings inside the house are simple but exquisite, and the aura is several times richer than the outside door.
This is the treatment given to the direct disciples of Yuheng Immortal Lord.
Li Cangming tightened his grip on the jade plaque that represented his identity, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.He finally became a disciple of Yuheng Immortal and got rid of the situation of being bullied by others. However, during the day, the subtle atmosphere between the two Immortals on the high platform was like a stone weighing on his heart.
He was afraid that he would cause trouble to the two of them, and he was also afraid that Yuheng Immortal Lord might really abandon him because of Mingshu Immortal Lord.
“What are you thinking about?” A cold and melodious voice sounded behind him.
Li Cangming was startled and quickly turned around and saluted: “Disciple has met Master.”
Ji Hantong waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to be polite.He looked at the newly acquired disciple in front of him. The young man was tall and straight, with a hint of determination in his brows, but he could not hide his uneasiness at the moment.
“Are you satisfied here?” Ji Hantong asked, his tone was quite gentle.
“Satisfied, very satisfied, thank you Master,” Li Cangming said quickly, paused, and then hesitantly said, “Master, are you and Uncle Mingshu responsible for what happened today because of the disciples…”
“It has nothing to do with you,” Ji Hantong interrupted him, his voice a little softer, “You don’t have to think too much about the matter between me and your uncle Mingshu. Now that you have joined my sect, you can practice with peace of mind. Come to the top of the mountain tomorrow to find me, and I will teach you how to get started.”
“Yes!” Li Cangming responded respectfully.
Ji Hantong briefly explained a few things about daily life, then turned and left.He flew towards the peak with his sword, but changed his direction halfway and flew towards the sea of clouds adjacent to Cangwu Peak.
Lingxu Peak.This is the residence of Shen Lanchuan. Unlike Cangwu Peak, which is covered with snow all year round, Lingxu Peak is like spring all year round, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and clear springs and waterfalls dotting it. It is actually a spring scene in the frozen north all year round.
Ji Hantong landed outside Shen Lanchuan’s cave. The palace door was tightly closed and there was no disciple on duty outside. Shen Lanchuan always liked peace and quiet and didn’t like to be disturbed.
He stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand and knocked gently on the door knocker.
“Brother, it’s me.”
There was silence inside the door.
Ji Hantong waited and called again: “Senior brother?”
Still no response.
He knew that Shen Lanchuan must be there.With his senior brother’s cultivation, he should have noticed it the moment he stepped onto the peak.The meaning of being invisible behind closed doors couldn’t be more obvious.
The frustration in Ji Hantong’s heart came up again, mixed with some inexplicable grievances and panic.He bit his lip and raised his voice: “Senior brother! If you don’t say anything anymore, I will… I will go back!”
Having said that, his feet seemed to have taken root and did not move even half a step.
After a long time, just when Ji Hantong thought that Shen Lanchuan really didn’t want to see him and was about to leave sadly, the heavy palace door made a slight “squeak” sound and slowly opened a gap inward.
Ji Hantong’s eyes lit up and he quickly stepped in.
Shen Lanchuan was standing in front of the window at the end of the hall with his back to him, looking at the sea of clouds rolling in outside the window.He was still wearing the black clothes, his back was straight, but there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.
“Senior brother…” Ji Hantong called out and walked over cautiously.
Shen Lanchuan did not look back.
Ji Hantong stopped a few steps behind him and looked at his senior brother’s back, not knowing what to say for a moment.He had never seen Shen Lanchuan look like this. He seemed angry and sad, which made him feel anxious.
“Senior brother, are you still angry with me?” Ji Hantong asked tentatively, his voice softening unconsciously, “Is it because I accepted Li Cangming as my disciple?”
Shen Lanchuan’s shoulders moved almost imperceptibly, but he remained silent.
Ji Hantong was even more panicked.He took two steps forward, almost touching the hem of Shen Lanchuan’s clothes, and explained softly: “Senior brother, there is a reason why I accepted him as my disciple. His qualifications are indeed rare, and… and there are some karma between me and him that need to be settled. I don’t mean to make you unhappy. If you really want to teach him, we can teach together at most. It’s just that I still have to hold the title of master.”
Shen Lanchuan finally turned around slowly.
His face looked a little blurry under the soft light of the night pearl, and the emotions in his eyes were as deep as the sea, which made Ji Hantong’s heart tighten.
“Han Tong,” Shen Lanchuan said, his voice a little hoarse, “You don’t need to apologize, don’t bow your head, you just want to take on a disciple. This is normal. I’m crazy.”
“Just leave me alone for a while, okay?”
