    Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Senior brother is reflecting

    Ji Hantong was speechless by Shen Lanchuan’s words.He opened his mouth to say something more, but seeing the obvious fatigue in his senior brother’s eyes, all the words were choked in his throat.

    He has never seen his senior brother look like this.In Ji Hantong’s memory, Shen Lanchuan was always calm, strong and tolerant.

    “…Okay,” Ji Hantong could only respond in a low voice in the end, his fingers clenching the cuffs of his sleeves unconsciously, “Brother, take a good rest. I…I will come see you another day.”

    He left Lingxu Peak as if running away, not daring to look back at Shen Lanchuan’s expression.

    Tossing and turning all night.

    At midnight the next day, Ji Hantong appeared in the summit quiet room on time with slightly blue eyes.

    Li Cangming was already waiting respectfully outside.The young man put on a brand new inner sect disciple’s clothes. The light blue robe made him tall and straight. Most of the panic and uneasiness at yesterday’s disciple recruitment meeting had faded away, and now he looked a little more energetic as he should be at this age.

    “Disciple pays homage to Master.” Li Cangming saluted meticulously.

    “Well, come in.” Ji Hantong’s voice was a little tired, and he turned sideways to let Li Cangming enter the quiet room.

    The interior decoration is simple, with only two futons and a low table.Ji Hantong sat down on the futon and motioned for Li Cangming to sit down too.

    “Now that you have entered our sect, you should know that I am the inheritor of the Taixuan Taoist Sect.” Ji Hantong tried to calm down and assumed the posture of a master. “This “Taixuan Sutra” is the basic mental method. Your body has chaotic spiritual roots and can accommodate all kinds of methods. However, you can’t chew off more than you can chew. In the early stage, you should use “Taixuan Sutra” to polish your foundation and stabilize your spiritual power. Let’s start learning from it today.”

    According to the words he had prepared in advance, he explained the key points of the introductory mental method, the method of introducing Qi into the body, and the precautions for the initial cultivation of the Chaos Spiritual Root.

    When Li Cangming started practicing, Ji Hantong’s thoughts drifted away involuntarily.

    He thought of Shen Lanchuan’s lonely back last night, thought of the words “I’m crazy”, thought of his senior brother’s tired tone when he asked him to leave, and felt as if a stone was pressing down on his chest.

    Li Cangming circulated for a whole day, and when he looked up, he saw his master looking at the corner of the quiet room, lost in thought, with a faint layer of melancholy between his brows, completely missing the cold majesty on the high platform yesterday.

    “Master?” Li Cangming called softly.

    Ji Hantong suddenly came back to his senses, and when he met the young man’s worried eyes, he was shocked to realize that he was distracted again.He coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, “Not bad, not bad. It is indeed a Chaos Spiritual Root. It has been running for a whole week.”

    “It’s because of Master’s teachings,” Li Cangming answered honestly. After a pause, he still couldn’t help but asked cautiously, “Master, are you feeling unwell? Or have something on your mind?”

    Ji Hantong was startled by his question, and then smiled bitterly.Even the newly accepted disciple could see that he was absent-minded, which showed how bad his state was.

    He waved his hand and had no intention of continuing the lecture: “It doesn’t matter, let’s talk about this first today. Memorize the qi-guiding chapter of “Tai Xuan Jing” by heart and try qi-guiding on your own. If you have any questions, come back and ask me.”

    “Yes, disciple, I obey.” Li Cangming responded respectfully, but did not get up and leave immediately.He hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare.

    Ji Hantong saw that he was hesitant to speak and asked, “What else is there?”

    Li Cangming plucked up his courage and whispered: “Disciple, are you brave? Master, did you have a rift with Uncle Mingshu because of what happened yesterday?”

    Ji Hantong was silent for a moment.He didn’t want to talk about this with his apprentice, but when he saw the real worry in the young man’s eyes and thought about his gaffe when teaching just now, the irritation in his heart suddenly seemed to have found an outlet.

    “It’s not that I have any quarrel…” Ji Hantong sighed and rubbed his forehead, “It’s just… I seem to have made your uncle unhappy.”

    Li Cangming blinked, a little confused.

    Ji Hantong knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and his wry smile became even worse.Even he himself has not fully understood the twists and turns, so how can he explain it to a young apprentice who has just started?

    “Forget it, let’s not talk about that,” Ji Hantong waved his hands, but couldn’t help but ask, “Cangming, if you make someone close to you angry, but you don’t know why he is angry, what will you do?”

    Li Cangming was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the aloof Immortal Lord would ask such a pyrotechnic question.He thought carefully before answering cautiously: “Disciple is stupid. If it were me, I would stop looking for it if I couldn’t find the reason. I would just go to the last step to make the other person happy, such as giving him some gifts made by myself.”

    “Gift…” Ji Hantong’s eyes brightened and he looked at Li Cangming, “Are you willing to come and help me?”

    At Lingxu Peak, Shen Lanchuan also stayed up all night.

    Yesterday’s impulsive move at the disciple recruitment meeting and the words he said to Ji Hantong later appeared clearly in his mind over and over again at this moment.

    Shen Lanchuan clearly remembered the sourness and anger that suddenly surged in his heart when he saw his junior brother lowering his posture for Li Cangming and pleading with his eyes.

    This isn’t right.Shen Lanchuan closed his eyes and pinched his fingertips deeply into his palms.

    This is not the emotion he should have.He is Mingshu Immortal Lord, the swordsman leader respected by everyone in the Taixuan Taoist Sect and even the entire cultivation world.He should have a clear mind and be tolerant of all things.

    But he was jealous, out of control, and felt unprecedented panic and murderous intent because his junior brother might have to give part of his attention and care to another person.

    This strong and twisted possessiveness almost swallowed up his reason.

    Shen Lanchuan couldn’t help but think of the scene when they first met. Ji Hantong timidly hid behind his master, grabbing the corner of his clothes and calling him “senior brother” in a low voice.

    At that time, Shen Lanchuan was only a teenager, but he had already seen a lot of Zichen Valley’s filthiness and indifference. He didn’t have much fondness for his master, another disciple who had suddenly appeared, and only thought it was troublesome.

    But he didn’t know when this trouble began to occupy his sight and his mind little by little.

    After more than four hundred years of getting along day and night, and more than four hundred years of dependence on each other, Ji Hantong is no longer the trouble in his life, but his biggest obstacle in the world.

    Shen Lanchuan was used to the fact that he was the only one reflected in his junior brother’s eyes, used to his junior brother relying on him and being close to him, used to the quiet time when they were the only two sitting on Cangwu Peak, drinking tea, watching the snow and discussing Taoism.

    He thought that days like this would continue until the end of the road.

    But Li Cangming’s appearance disrupted everything.

    Shen Lanchuan knew that his desire for exclusivity was abnormal, even pathological.Junior brother is a human being, not his property.Junior disciples have the right to choose their own path, accept disciples and preach the gospel, it is natural and right.

    It’s not Junior Brother’s fault, it’s him.

    It was he who was blinded by this twisted emotion, and it was he who hurt Han Tong.

    When he asked Ji Hantong to leave yesterday, he clearly saw the grievance and panic in his junior brother’s eyes.His junior brother, whom he cherished so much that he was afraid of melting in the palm of his hand, was feeling sad and uneasy because of his own gaffe.

    Shen Lanchuan’s heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, throbbing with pain.

    He hurt his junior brother and he should apologize.

    He was going to Cangwu Peak to find Ji Hantong.

    He wanted to apologize to his junior brother in person, tell Ji Hantong that he went crazy yesterday, and asked him to forgive him.As for those dark thoughts that cannot be expressed openly… he will keep them in his heart and never let them hurt Han Tong in the slightest.
