Chapter 703: Chapter 729: As Incompatible as Water and Fire Chapter 703: Chapter 729: As Incompatible as Water and Fire Upper Realm, within a mountain in East Divine State.
This is the mountain where Chu Yuan, Ye Luo, Zhang Han, and Chen Jun are located.
Since Chu Yuan took Ye Luo to the River of Time for a glimpse, several months had passed.
During these months, the four from the Wayless Sect were all busy with their own matters, and no significant events had occurred.
…
This day.
Within a newly opened cave dwelling in the mountain.
Chen Jun was engrossed in reading a bamboo slip.
...
Not far beside him, Zhang Han was sitting cross-legged in cultivation and kept his eyes on Chen Jun as he cultivated.
He was obeying the order of their Respected Master.
He was not to let Chen Jun speak a single word.
Zhang Han had always been the Respected Master’s dutiful little cotton jacket, naturally he took the Respected Master’s word to heart.
Thus, he had not allowed Chen Jun to utter a single word all this time.
He even feared that due to his negligence Chen Jun might speak, and had used several small formations to seal Chen Jun’s mouth.
At first, it was still fine.
Chen Jun could endure it and read his book properly.
But as time trickled by, no matter how good his temperament, he was finding it hard to be patient.
Chen Jun took a deep breath and set the bamboo slip down.
Click…
The bamboo slip tapped the stone table with a click.
Next to him, the cultivating Zhang Han couldn’t help but pause and opened his eyes to look at Chen Jun.
“What’s the matter, Sixteenth Junior Brother? Have you encountered a problem with your cultivation?”
Zhang Han asked in a gentle voice.
Faced with the inquiry from this Second Senior Brother.
Chen Jun thought about it, took out a blank bamboo slip, and began to write facing Zhang Han.
After a spell of fidgeting, he passed the bamboo slip to Zhang Han.
Zhang Han looked up at it.
On the bamboo slip was written the following message.
‘Second Senior Brother, I have been reading in silence for several months now, yet I have come to realize nothing. What should I do, Second Senior Brother?’
These were Chen Jun’s words.
Upon seeing this.
Zhang Han revealed an extremely exaggerated expression as though he saw something inconceivable.
“No way, no way, could it really be that someone has been taught by the Respected Master but still realizes nothing?”
Zhang Han spoke in ‘astonishment’.
Chen Jun: “…”
He, who always enjoyed reading and had an elegant temperament, now gripped the bamboo slip tightly in his hand.
He felt a strong urge to punch someone.
But he held back.
He couldn’t beat this Second Senior Brother.
He resisted!
However, he took note of this grudge!
Could a grudge of nine lives be avenged? Even if it takes one hundred lives, it shall be done!
Chen Jun fell into silent brooding.
Zhang Han, seeing Chen Jun’s silence, felt it was inappropriate to continue his sarcastic joking.
“Alright, alright, Sixteenth Junior Brother, if you really can’t figure it out, you might as well go and see the Respected Master and have him explain it to you,”
Zhang Han suggested.
Hearing this, Chen Jun hesitated for a moment before starting to write again.
‘Will the Respected Master think less of me for my slow comprehension?’
He was still very concerned about this point.
“Afraid of what, the Respected Master cares for us disciples the most, how could he ever look down on you?”
Zhang Han waved it off, without a trace of worry.
Chen Jun hesitated again for a while before he finally nodded heavily in agreement.
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Han immediately stood up, took hold of Chen Jun, and set out to see their master.
Chen Jun could only follow along with Zhang Han, leaving together.
As the two walked out of the cave dwelling and were about to head to Chu Yuan’s Cave Dwelling.
They had not gone far.
All of a sudden.
A thunderous voice came from outside the mountain.
“Elder Yun Tu from Jade Void Palace requests an audience with Taiyi Sword Honor!”
This mighty voice came pouring in.
“Hmm?”
Zhang Han’s eyebrows knitted slightly.
But he said nothing more.
It was just that he felt somewhat helpless about his cultivation levels.
He had already arranged a number of formations within this mountain, including some to shield sounds.
The fact that this voice could penetrate meant that the other party’s cultivation levels far exceeded his.
There was nothing he could do about that.
Zhang Han sighed softly.
Turning his head, he saw Chen Jun standing beside him.
Chen Jun looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Han had just thought to say something.
But before he could, he saw a streak of sword light coming out of the mountain, heading outwards.
That sword light was none other than Ye Luo.
“It’s nothing serious, don’t worry, it’s just Big Brother’s private matter. Maybe Big Brother has been fooling around outside without taking responsibility, and now someone has come to settle the score. We don’t need to concern ourselves with it, let Big Brother deal with it himself.”
Zhang Han waved his hand dismissively.
He had no concerns for the safety of their Eldest Disciple at all.
Not to mention his Eldest Disciple’s cultivation levels for the moment.
But where were they right now?
An ordinary mountain in the East Divine State, that was nothing remarkable.
But in this mountain, their Respected Master was in residence.
If Big Brother were in any danger, he guessed the Master would have intervened with a slap already.
So, Zhang Han had never worried at all.
“Come on, let’s continue seeking out Master.”
Zhang Han pulled Chen Jun along to continue their departure.
Chen Jun, somewhat dazed, could only follow Zhang Han’s lead.
Together, they walked into Chu Yuan’s Cave Dwelling and managed to see Chu Yuan successfully.
However, Chu Yuan was too busy to pay attention to them and made them stand in the corner as punishment.
Chu Yuan was looking at the status information of people.
[Your third apprentice, Su Qianyuan, was attacked by a Demon King but was luckily saved by an Immortal Emperor Cultivator…]
[Your fourth apprentice, Dantai Luo Xue, solved The Eternal Chess Game and had a significant boost in cultivation levels…]
[Your fifth apprentice, Su Xi, comprehended The Path of Destiny and saw a significant boost in cultivation levels…]
[Your fifth apprentice, Su Xi, was attacked by a Demon King…]
[Your eldest apprentice, Ye Luo, was attacked by an Immortal Emperor Cultivator…]
…
One piece of information after another flashed by.
All about various disciples’ situations.
Chu Yuan ignored them all.
His gaze settled on one particular piece of information.
[Your eldest apprentice, Ye Luo, has officially made an enemy of Jade Void Palace, relationship status: mortal enemies]
Was this the force that had laid Karma upon Ye Luo, the one that sealed off the Lower Realm?
Interesting.
Chu Yuan guessed whether or not to sneak in with a powerful account for a stroll.
But on second thought, looking at the characters’ statuses, it seemed that Ye Luo hadn’t been injured. On the contrary, he might have slaughtered several Immortal Emperor Cultivators.
So there was no need for concern.
For the time being, there was no need to step in with a powerful account.
Chu Yuan let down his guard. Except for his Sixteenth Junior Brother, he cared about all his other disciples.
After all, they had all achieved something by now.
They were his heart and soul.
He would be pained to lose any one of them.
They must be protected.
After realizing these points.
Only then did Chu Yuan raise his eyes and look towards Zhang Han and Chen Jun standing in punishment beside him.
“You two, tell me, what are you here for?” Chu Yuan asked, raising an eyebrow.
He didn’t know why his second apprentice brought the sixteenth along for.
But seeing that the sixteenth’s mouth was sealed, he was reassured.
Keep your mouth shut all the time, and how could you ever succeed?
