Chapter 238 The Immortal Couple
Yang Chengyu looked at Lu Bai as if he was a three-year-old child holding a sword, his face full of disdain, and he did not even try to dodge the attacking flying sword.
Fortunately, Chen Yingjie was quick-witted and pulled the furious Lu Bai back with one hand, then pulled him back several steps to separate the two of them.
"Calm down! Fighting with weapons is prohibited in the Crystal Palace. Do you want to break the rules, have your cultivation abolished, and be expelled from the secret realm?"
This rule was repeatedly told to Chen Yingjie by Lu Fengxian when they entered the Crystal Palace. Chen Yingjie appreciated his care along the way and naturally did not want to see his fellow apprentice being expelled because of a momentary impulse.
"Heh! Is your useless senior brother dead? I'm right here now. If you have the guts, kill me to avenge your senior brother!"
Yang Chengyu looked at Lu Bai, who was still threatening to flee after being caught by Chen Yingjie, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke again.
When Lu Bai heard him insulting his senior brother, he became so angry that his face turned red. He broke free from Chen Yingjie's hand and was about to go forward again.
Although Chen Yingjie had also experienced the hardships in the army, he had never practiced martial arts, and his physical strength was not as good as Lu Bai, who was two heads shorter than him. As soon as he felt the pain in his hand, Lu Bai had already escaped from his grasp.
Seeing that the tip of Lu Bai's sword was about to stab Yang Chengyu's chest, Chen Yingjie shouted loudly.
"Lv Bai! Think about your senior brother! If you are expelled from the secret realm, your senior brother will be at the mercy of others!"
This sentence instantly sobered Lu Bai, whose eyes were red. The redness in his eyes faded away, and he regained clarity.
Yang Chengyu's eyes dimmed as he looked at the flying sword that was less than half an inch away from his chest. What a pity! He originally wanted to provoke this idiot to take action, destroy his cultivation, and drive him out of the Crystal Palace, but who knew that someone would get in the way.
Yang Chengyu half-squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yingjie, who had been calm and composed. When he saw the woman next to him looking ahead with an obsessed look on her face, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Junior sister! Hurry up and help me get to the healing pool to heal my wounds!"
Xue Zhirou was suddenly awakened by Yang Chengyu's shout. She quickly glanced at Chen Yingjie who was looking straight ahead, her cheeks slightly red, and quickly let go of Yang Chengyu's hands, saying in a panic: "The healing pool is just ahead, senior brother, you can go there by yourself! There is a difference between men and women, so I won't accompany you in!"
After saying this, she didn't even look at Yang Chengyu, whose face was ashen. She trotted a few steps lightly and walked to Chen Yingjie. Her cheeks turned red due to shyness and excitement. She lowered her voice and complained softly with a little coquettishness,
"Brother Yingjie, why don't you come to see me?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, her gaze moving between Chen Yingjie and Xue Zhirou, full of curiosity and confusion.
Bai Yaoyao raised her eyebrows, with a playful smile on her lips, and also looked at Chen Yingjie.
Lu Bai, who had just barely suppressed his anger, looked in disbelief at Xue Zhirou, who had her head lowered and was stirring a strand of long hair in front of her chest with her hands, with an expression of surprise on his face.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Yingjie. Even Chen Yingjie, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but frown. He felt extremely regretful. He shouldn't have chosen to temporarily join the Xuantian Sect to find out the situation in this world just because he saw that the Xuantian Sect had a large number of people.
He thought that he was not a handsome guy and had not done anything that would cause misunderstanding. So how could Xue Zhirou be so determined to marry him?
Chen Yingjie sighed secretly, "Junior Sister Xue, you and I just met by chance, why do you miss me so much?"
Xue Zhirou's shyness instantly disappeared when she heard his somewhat distant words. She pouted her red lips and said with her hands on her hips, "Humph! I just miss you! I told you a long time ago that I like you! How can you let me down!"
"But I have told you many times that I don't like you!"
Chen Yingjie's cold words did not frustrate Xue Zhirou at all. She raised her head slightly, straightened her chest, and said in a tender voice: "That's because you don't see my good side! As long as we spend more time together, Brother Yingjie will definitely fall in love with me! Then you and I will be a pair of immortal lovers!"
Xue Zhirou had a pretty face, and such spoiled and willful words did not seem out of place when coming out of her mouth, but only made her look more adorable.
Seeing her stubborn attitude, Chen Yingjie couldn't help but pinch his brows with a headache.
He grew up in a military camp and learned to plan for the overall situation. He was surrounded by rough men in the army and had never been confessed to by a woman again and again. Moreover, Xue Zhirou seemed to not understand the words of rejection. No matter what he said, she pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, and only cared about expressing her love.
But it happened to be a girl, and he couldn't just beat her up!
Chen Yingjie sighed heavily in his heart and felt a headache. He really was not worthy of this sudden good fortune!
Chen Yingjie was so annoyed that he wanted to end this foreign journey as soon as possible, but the people nearby who saw this confession had different expressions.
Bai Yaoyao looked like she was just enjoying the fun and was just a spectator.
Xiao Xiaoxiao stared at Xue Zhirou intently, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Lu Bai's small eyes kept moving back and forth between Xue Zhirou, Chen Yingjie and Yang Chengyu, with an uncontrollable look of gloating in his eyes.
I have heard from brothers who participated in the East Region Competition that the eldest brother Yang Chengyu of Xuantian Sect was going to marry the daughter of the leader Xue Zhirou, and then become the candidate for the leader of Xuantian Sect. But now it seems that the relationship is not what people want, and Yang Chengyu is going to lose everything!
Yang Chengyu, standing at the gate of the hall, watched Xue Zhirou, whom he had taken good care of since childhood and regarded as his Taoist partner, fawning on Chen Yingjie. He couldn't help but get furious. Just as he was about to scold her, he felt a pain in his heart, and the spiritual energy in his body rushed around like a wild horse. His throat tasted slightly sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood with a "puff" sound, and then he fell forward in a daze.
"Big Brother!"
Yang Chengyu's abnormal behavior scared the Xuantian Sect disciple who had been following the two of them. Before he fell to the ground, he quickly supported him and carried him to the healing pool in the middle.
Xue Zhirou heard the shouts of her fellow disciples behind her and turned around to see Yang Chengyu with his head hanging, his eyes closed, and blood spitting out of his mouth. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
Although she had been fed up with the control of her senior brother in recent years, they had practiced together for many years after all, and she was well aware of how good the senior brother was to her. Seeing that he was oblivious to the world, she felt anxious.
What's more, her father intends to train the eldest brother to be the heir. If he knew that she had made the eldest brother so angry, she would be in trouble when she returns!
Xue Zhirou was anxious, and she no longer cared about talking to Chen Yingjie. She hurried forward with her skirt in hand, and followed her two brothers to send Yang Chengyu into an empty healing room...
