Chapter 33 - Senior Brother is Stunned, What Did She Call Him?
Yu Hao leaped dozens of feet into the air, standing amidst the void. With a wave of his sword, numerous sword Qi’s coalesced behind him, forming a spinning ring of blades. Then, he pointed downwards towards Yu Yu.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of sword Qi’s shot forth, each carrying an incredibly sharp aura, as if even the spiritual Qi in the air was being sliced apart.
Yu Yu, holding his sword, dodged nimbly below, narrowly escaping each sword Qi. Then, with a swift move, he soared high into the sky, slashing his sword horizontally. The sword Qi burst forth like a star shooting through the moon, heading straight for Yu Hao’s face.
“Sky Sword Breaker!” Yu Hao exclaimed confidently. Suddenly, a gigantic Qi sword, several feet wide, descended from above.
Boom! Yu Yu attempted to block it but was directly hit by Yu Hao’s Sky Sword Qi and fell to the ground. Sighing deeply, he stood up.
Yu Hao slowly descended from the sky, his hand behind his back, looking calm and composed. “Junior brother, thank you for the match,” he said, bowing slightly to Yu Yu.
“The gap between my cultivation and senior brother’s is still quite wide,” Yu Yu sighed, looking somewhat disappointed.
“Heh, junior brother, we have been cultivating together for years, and I am well aware of your progress,” Yu Hao responded. “But remember, I haven’t been stagnant either. If you continue to see me through your past perception, you’ll never surpass me.”
“You are right, senior brother,” Yu Yu acknowledged. “But speaking of which, our Qingyan Peak finally has a new junior brother, but it seems he isn’t favored by our master.”
“Indeed,” Yu Hao replied, glancing towards the snowy peak. “Our Qingyan Peak has the least number of disciples among all peaks, and correspondingly, we receive the fewest cultivation resources. Our master already has limited resources and now he’s burdened with a disciple without spiritual roots. It’s no surprise he isn’t favored.”
“That makes sense,” Yu Yu agreed. “It’s understandable that master isn’t fond of Ye Xuan, given the waste of resources on a disciple with seemingly no future. But what puzzles me is why our junior sister, who’s always been simple and kind, looks down on Ye Xuan with such disdain…”
“?!” Yu Hao looked surprised and turned to Yu Yu, asking, “You noticed it too?”
“Despite her efforts to hide it, she’s like a sister to us, how could I not notice?” Yu Yu said. “She seems to genuinely despise Ye Xuan… Has she become so worldly despite being so young?”
“That shouldn’t be the case… Our junior sister has always been on the mountain, never venturing into the secular world. It’s unlikely she’d look down on others like common folks,” Yu Hao pondered.
Although he said that, Yu Hao’s brow was already furrowed. He couldn’t convince himself. If it wasn’t disdain for Ye Xuan, why would Yu Ling’er look at their junior brother with such a gaze? Yu Ling’er had always been innocent and kind-hearted since childhood.
Such a cold and disdainful look really shouldn’t have come from her eyes, especially since it was her first time meeting Ye Xuan… Could it be that they knew each other before?
Moreover, there was something he hadn’t mentioned to his junior brother. He had accidentally overheard Yu Ling’er calling Ye Xuan worthless and looking down on him. He couldn’t believe his ears at that moment. The always kind-hearted junior sister uttering such words…
“If junior sister really doesn’t want to spend time on our junior brother, then let me guide Ye Xuan in his cultivation,” Yu Yu suggested. “Otherwise, if this continues… it might not be good for our fellowship.”
“This should be my responsibility as the senior brother. You just focus on your own cultivation,” Yu Hao said. “But… although people change, I didn’t expect our naive and innocent junior sister to change so quickly. This morning when I saw her taking Ye Xuan out, she looked quite displeased. She shouldn’t be too hard on junior brother, right?”
Cultivators, though they may progress quickly in the early stages, have limited achievements in a lifetime. With his talent, Yu Hao had reached his peak, so there was no need to cultivate as intensely as before. In comparison, his junior brother Yu Yu had more potential and could break through the Void Realm in his lifetime.
“Well… probably… Look, they’re coming back—!” Yu Yu said, looking up into the sky.
A ray of spiritual light was rapidly approaching them. The light, none other than Yu Ling’er’s sword light, was unmistakable.
“Be careful with your words later. Don’t mention this in front of them; we don’t want to embarrass Ye Xuan,” Yu Hao advised Yu Yu.
“Don’t worry, senior brother, I understand,” Yu Yu replied. “Also, although master doesn’t favor junior brother, we can’t be like junior sister, looking down on him.”
“She probably said something today that hurt Ye Xuan’s self-esteem. We should take care of junior brother a bit, so he doesn’t feel too disheartened on his first day on the mountain,” Yu Hao added.
“You’re right, senior brother,” Yu Yu nodded in agreement.
Cultivators should harbor good intentions and not look down on others just because of their inferior talents. Their master had been reprimanded by their grandmaster for being too narrow-minded, hindering his path to immortality.
Unfortunately, the master never changed. Now, their naive and kind-hearted junior sister had grown up and started to look down on others, just like their master. A pity…
The two brothers smiled as they watched the sword light descend from the sky. Considering that Yu Ling’er might not have been very kind to Ye Xuan today, they decided not to bring it up directly.
The sword light dissipated, revealing two figures – Yu Ling’er and Ye Xuan.
“Junior sister Ling’er, junior brother Ye Xuan, you’ve finished your tasks and returned,” Yu Hao greeted them.
“Greetings, senior brother, second senior brother,” Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er bowed to them.
“Junior brother Ye Xuan, how are you adapting to the climate here on Taihua Mountain? Tod…” Yu Hao started to say something caring to Ye Xuan, intending to ease any discomfort from spending a day with Yu Ling’er.
But before he could finish, Yu Ling’er had already eagerly addressed Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan brother, you must be tired after a day of cultivation. Let me take you to soak in the hot springs. Despite the coldness of Taihua Mountain, the hot springs here are quite famous.” As she spoke, she playfully winked at Ye Xuan.
“Uh…” Both Yu Hao and Yu Yu were taken aback by the scene in front of them.
What?! “Ye Xuan… brother?!!” They couldn’t believe their ears. Did they just hear their junior sister address their junior brother in such a familiar way?
Did they hear wrong?!
