The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 132 - 123: Junior Martial Uncle Meets Chu Huaixu
That night, the Charitable Gambling King first met Chu Huaixu.
I told you not to mention the storyteller incident to others, just say you’ve never met him.
The Sixth Elder was very satisfied with this response, very pleased with the attitude as well.
Unexpectedly, what the other party said was actually the truth!
"He really, damn it, never met him!!!"
This Daoist Sixth Elder rarely cursed in his heart.
Looking back on it all, Li Chunsong just felt a bit of a chill.
His impression of Chu Huaixu had always been very good. Among the higher-ups, he and Chu Yinyin were the closest to him.
"I was wondering why my luck has been so good lately!"
"Ever since he came up the mountain, I could say I’ve won every gamble because of him!"
"Turns out, the pitfall is here!"
Everyone stared at him in unison, clearly seeing the change in Li Chunsong’s expression.
At this moment, he looked like he was struck by lightning.
It was terribly ugly, his expression was indeed terribly ugly.
Due to the gravity of the situation, involving the Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs and the Heaven and Earth tribulation, Li Chunsong dared not withhold anything, appearing especially candid.
Facing the Junior Martial Uncle’s questioning, his face turned bright red with unprecedented embarrassment, he said:
"I warned Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang not to mention meeting a storyteller at the foot of the mountain..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.
The will to kill began to arise.
"You told them not to mention it, and this guy named Chu Huaixu just played dumb? Logically, he should be completely confused, right? No unusual signs?" He gave Li Chunsong a cold glance.
——This guy must have problems!
Everyone understood the temperament of the Junior Martial Uncle and could hear the meaning in his words.
But everyone had spent quite some time with Chu Huaixu and quite admired this child, they all began to stand his ground, speaking for him.
The tolerant Nangong Yue was the first to say, "Junior Martial Uncle, Chu Huaixu is after all still a youth, suddenly being brought into the Daoist Sect by a Great Cultivator can be said to be a great stroke of luck in life, it’s normal for him to be dumbfounded."
"Yes, Junior Martial Uncle, we’ve been observing this boy all along, his temperament is not bad." Even the Sect Leader Xiang Yan spoke up like this.
The Law Enforcement Elder Lu Pan was the most impartial in the Sect, he straightforwardly said, "Junior Martial Uncle, I also quite admire this child."
Jiang Zhi ignored everyone else, just glanced at Lu Pan, "Even you say so?"
That did slightly surprise him.
But in his heart, a seed of suspicion was still planted.
Seeing this, Li Chunsong took a deep breath.
He was very clear, if Chu Huaixu was targeted by the Junior Martial Uncle, life wouldn’t be easy.
Especially since this was his future master.
He knew it was his turn to put himself out there.
This Daoist Sixth Elder said, "That...everyone."
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Only to see Li Chunsong’s old face turning so red it was about to bleed, it was too embarrassing.
"Actually, after I warned them, Chu Huaixu directly told me... Disciple never met any storyteller."
"But I misunderstood what he meant, I thought this boy was being glib and stating his stance in such a manner."
"This matter is of great importance, Chunsong dares not hide anything."
As soon as the words fell, the Purple Bamboo Forest fell into dead silence.
Everyone finally understood, only now realizing how laughable some of the recent discussions were.
We often deliberated, was it the Dao Ancestor’s Proverbs that were wrong, or was it the Junior Martial Uncle?
Turns out, it was you, Li Chunsong, who were gravely mistaken!
Everyone’s expressions were basically: dumbstruck—dumbstruck—furious—dumbstruck...
White-robed Jiang Zhi was furious, with his hair standing on end.
As he aged, he always cultivated his character, suppressing his murderous intent.
Now, he immediately lost his composure.
Daoist Junior Martial Uncle pointed at Li Chunsong and began to say:
"You! Old Six! Good! Very good!"
"When I asked you to pick someone up, you couldn’t even get that right."
"A junior’s words and you couldn’t even understand!"
Seeing that he was about to strike and punish Li Chunsong, everyone quickly wanted to speak up in his defense.
Unexpectedly, the Junior Martial Uncle immediately glanced over everyone, beginning a sweeping blame.
"You! And you all!"
"Each of you is involved one way or another!"
What Jiang Zhi said wasn’t wrong, indeed things had gone awry step by step, even the Second Elder who was not on the mountain couldn’t escape.
But at this time, it was the moment when the Chu Yinyin, brought here by them, needed to play her initial role.
This Daoist Sect’s most spoiled junior sister was instantly displeased.
"Junior Martial Uncle, you can’t say that!"
"Not all the blame lies on us, right?"
"When you sent the letter back, you didn’t mention the names and appearances of the two." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Then after the incident happened, you didn’t return to the sect, still wandering below the mountain."
Chu Yinyin began rattling off her points.
On an ordinary day, everyone would have reprimanded her, habitually saying, "Junior Sister, be cautious with your words!"
But today was different.
Junior Sister, speak for us!
This was genuinely what everyone thought, feeling that with the situation as it was, everyone was tied to the blame, including the Junior Martial Uncle.
At this moment, Chu Yinyin hadn’t finished speaking.
She even brought up her already deceased master.
Among the disciples of Jiang Zhi’s generation in Junzi Temple, Chu Yinyin’s master ranked ninth, and was Jiang Zhi’s...beloved.
He had always doted on Chu Yinyin, actually because of love for her master.
This is also one of the reasons why this old maiden dared to talk messily with this unparalleled killer since she was young.
In fact, it’s just childishness, yet with arrogance from being spoiled.
Of course, it’s also because when she was still a true maiden, she often watched her master criticize the Junior Martial Uncle.
At this moment, Chu Yinyin said, "My master often says that you like to pretend to be mysterious, making simple things complicated, and are never reliable in doing things. Basically, at heart, you just love to play! You’re playful!"
"Also, he says your name resonates, Jiang Zhi Jiang Zhi, it’s always just about to come!"
"If you had come back half a month earlier, there would have been room for reversal..."
She rambled on and on, while Jiang Zhi’s face became increasingly grim.
Everyone hurriedly tried to block her, feeling it was time to stop.
"Junior Martial Sister! Watch your words!"
The departed Ninth Martial Uncle was a thorn in Junior Martial Uncle’s heart.
Jiang Zhi, in a spotless white robe and with an ordinary appearance, showed various expressions on his face, while a lovely figure flashed before his eyes.
——Loved but separated, desires unfulfilled, unable to let go.
Ultimately, he flicked his sleeve and sighed deeply.
"Forget it, Senior Sister Nine is right, perhaps the problem really lies with me."
"But you, Li Chunsong, are also not blameless!"
"In time, you will accompany me to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive punishment, taking three strokes of the Thunder Whip!" He glared at Li Chunsong.
The gambling addict quickly said, "Yes!"
Being able to settle the matter like this, he was already quite satisfied.
Watching Li Chunsong breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Zhi couldn’t help but say:
"Li Chunsong, this matter involves the first layer of the Origin Spirit Realm and is related to the celestial catastrophe."
"If we can’t hold the first layer when the time comes..."
"This karma between us is too great for either of us to bear!"
"You and I will be sinners of the Profound Yellow Realm!"
These words were heavy, but no one could refute them.
The karma here was indeed too significant.
Junior Martial Uncle looked at everyone and guessed: "So, Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, along with this Chu Huaixu, have all been to the Hidden Spirit Mountain, right?"
"You better tell me now; Xu Ziqing has already successfully retrieved the sword without any mishaps."
If so, although there were many twists and turns, and unexpected errors, it was still back on track in the end.
——The process was all wrong, but the outcome was all right.
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this.
The Sect Leader Xiang Yan answered on behalf of everyone.
"Junior Martial Uncle, the sword has indeed been taken by Xu Ziqing."
"That’s good." Jiang Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief: "The Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs can’t be wrong, and I’m sure I didn’t find the wrong people at the foot of the mountain."
Always considering himself to have a Wisdom Pearl in hand, today it seemed the pearl was dropped and picked up repeatedly.
Chu Yinyin had even brought up her master’s words, and he indeed wanted to move forward swiftly.
However, Xiang Yan quickly added, "But it seems... there’s still a bit of a problem."
"What?!"
Plop, the Wisdom Pearl dropped again.
This matter couldn’t just be put aside, right!
...
...
Inside the Purple Bamboo Forest, Jiang Zhi listened to everyone’s inputs and finally figured out the current situation regarding Xu Ziqing.
"So, your special quota with the charred wooden token wasn’t given to him?" He pointed at Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan nodded awkwardly.
"And then, because of his senior brother’s expectations, this kid chose a Body Refining Technique, and by taking elixirs and relying on his own physique, he managed to qualify for the climb?"
"The fated one, destined to be a Sword Attendant mastering the ’Sword Nurturing Skill,’ became a complete Body Cultivator because of this Chu Huaixu!"
"Moreover, when the Sword Spirit was split by the Dao Ancestor’s restriction and entered his Spiritual Embryo, he was no longer a Pseudo Spiritual Embryo because of the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill given by Chu Huaixu?"
"Nonsense! It’s sheer nonsense!"
How is he involved in everything! How is he the variable here!
But quickly, a thought flashed through his mind.
He suddenly realized something.
"Wait, Chu Yinyin, earlier you said that the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill given to Chu Huaixu was your meeting gift to him."
"Why did you choose to give him that pill?"
"Is it possible that he too was a Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo? Maybe even a Pseudo Spiritual Embryo?"
Clearly, for low-tier cultivators, many treasures could be given, so why specifically give a spirit pill, which led to such a mishap.
"Junior Martial Uncle, let me explain, when he first arrived, he was indeed a Pseudo Spiritual Embryo." Li Chunsong replied on behalf.
They were about to elaborate on the big stir Chu Huaixu had caused during this time, but Jiang Zhi raised his hand to interrupt them.
"Enough, just bring me that bothersome Chu Huaixu." He instructed directly.
I really want to see who exactly this variable is!
"Alright, then I will go pick him up." Chu Yinyin immediately prepared to set off.
She was exceedingly confident, determined to bring her precious disciple to astonish Junior Martial Uncle, to frighten him!
However, Jiang Zhi said sarcastically, pointing to Li Chunsong, "Old Six, you go fetch him. This time, you won’t fetch Chu Huaixu, just fetch someone else for me?"
"I won’t, I won’t." Li Chunsong blushed again and left, covering his face.
"I really want to see the good disciple you all found for me!" He even commented in such a tone that everyone could understand.
Not long after, an unsuspecting Chu Huaixu was brought to the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Jiang Zhi looked up and glanced at him coldly; fortunately, he was far away, otherwise, he would need to look up.
This person: tall, handsome.
——Junior Martial Uncle instantly disliked him.
