Chapter 1308 Genius and Double System 9
"You don't seem to think you're wrong?" Seeing that Wen Nanfeng remained silent, Ji Wujiu knew that his guess was correct. He wasn't angry, but he was a little disappointed in his eldest disciple.
Without asking any questions, when he encountered Lin Ya, he instinctively blamed his junior sister, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Just as the other party said, cultivating immortality begins with cultivating the mind. His eldest disciple's mind has likely been disturbed by Lin Ya's presence, leading to behaviors similar to those of a few days ago. If this continues, will his mind be completely distracted by anything Lin Ya does, leaving him oblivious to everything else?
"I shouldn't have lied to Master and concealed the truth about my sparring with Junior Sister," Wen Nanfeng said with his head down. "As for criticizing Junior Sister, it was indeed a misunderstanding on my part, and such a situation will not happen again."
After he finished speaking, Ji Wujiu remained silent, and the hall was eerily quiet.
Wen Nanfeng didn't dare to look up. He had only said a few words to his junior sister, and he didn't know why his master was taking it so seriously today. Back then, when Junior Sister Lin apologized so carefully, her cold reaction was practically the same as being a sore loser.
Ji Wujiu leaned back in his seat, observing his two disciples below. Both were exceptionally talented, possessing astonishing comprehension of swordsmanship. Before today, he naturally assumed that the elder disciple surpassed the younger in swordsmanship comprehension. However, after witnessing the sword techniques the younger disciple had mastered, his previous opinion was overturned.
He was devoted to swordsmanship and really didn't care much about outside affairs.
Of course, if his own disciples come to him with something they want his help with, he will patiently explain it to them.
It was also the fact that his second disciple had comprehended a new sword move that made him pay more attention to things outside and thus learn more about their situation.
Although he was a person devoted to the way of the sword, he was not someone who knew nothing about anything.
After learning more about everything, he discovered that his eldest disciple's mind had been affected. That sect disciple named Lin Ya had a huge influence on Nanfeng, completely affecting his emotions, which was definitely not a good thing for a cultivator.
He summoned them today not entirely to uphold justice for his second disciple, but also to give his eldest disciple a warning. Now it seems that it hasn't been very effective.
"When Zhen'er lost to Lin Ya in the first competition, Zhen'er was a little stunned, and everyone around her was also surprised. They didn't expect that Lin Ya, an outer disciple with mixed spiritual roots, could defeat her. Before Zhen'er could react, Lin Ya came to her with a face full of guilt, helped her up, and kept saying sorry, as if she had done something terrible and that if she didn't apologize quickly, Zhen'er would tear her apart."
"As the senior brother, what did you do back then?" Ji Wujiu asked. "You stood up and said that in the cultivation world, strength is paramount, and the victor doesn't need to apologize to the loser. That's true, that's how it should be. But you also said the following: You first pulled Lin Ya behind you to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid, that with you there, no one would dare to bully her. After comforting Lin Ya, you warned Zhen'er that this was the Tianji Sect, not the Great Xia Kingdom, and that she shouldn't act arrogantly as the master in the Tianji Sect. Losing is losing; it's because she's not as skilled as others, and she shouldn't make things difficult for others because of it."
Wen Nanfeng suddenly raised his head, unable to believe that Ji Wujiu would bring up the past. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Ji Wujiu throw out a recording stone, which played back the scene. He immediately shut up.
He originally wanted to say that his master shouldn't listen to other people's gossip, but he simply couldn't say it.
He had forgotten that recording stones were placed in various corners during each competition, and these stones were usually collected and not lost. Some particularly exciting matches were even copied for the sect disciples to watch. "In the second competition, Zhen'er faced Lin Ya again and lost once more. After her victory, Lin Ya went to Zhen'er first, apologized, and said that such competitions were inevitable, asking Zhen'er not to blame her. Lin Ya is not my disciple, and I will not comment on her. Whatever she says, as long as it doesn't violate sect rules, these are things you must experience for yourselves."
"Heh!" Ji Wujiu sneered, then tossed out another recording stone, showing a scene from the second competition.
"Zhen'er hasn't said anything yet, but you're already jumping out even faster than the first time, saying almost the same things and with the same attitude, telling Lin Ya not to blame herself, that she did nothing wrong. She defeated Zhen'er with her own strength, so she did nothing wrong. But Zhen'er did nothing wrong either; she didn't say a word, yet you're criticizing her again."
Ji Wujiu watched as his second disciple was reprimanded by his eldest disciple in the memory stone, but he said nothing, seemingly unwilling to pay attention, and turned to leave. The eldest disciple still seemed dissatisfied, looking unhappy, but when facing Lin Ya, he was all smiles, showing a surprising ability to change his expression.
"The third competition was just a few days ago. I don't need to repeat it again, it's still a similar situation."
"I just want to know what Zhen'er did to deserve your accusations? She doesn't seem to have done anything, does she? If she really did something, you wouldn't just be criticizing her verbally, would you? When you say these things, do you remember that she is your junior sister?" Ji Wujiu frowned. "Nanfeng, don't you realize that you are too deeply influenced by Lin Ya?"
“Whenever Lin Ya is involved, you become biased without reason, and even blame Zhen’er. Don’t you think that’s wrong?”
Wen Nanfeng's face flushed slightly. He glanced at Azhen, whose face remained expressionless, and at Ji Wujiu, who was frowning and waiting for his answer.
"Master, this has nothing to do with Junior Sister Lin!"
"I just felt sorry for her because of her background and experiences. I felt she had a hard time. If it were an ordinary sect disciple who won against her junior sister, they would never apologize or feel guilty. Lin Ya is different. She used to be from the Great Xia Kingdom and was a palace maid by her junior sister's side. They used to have a master-servant relationship. This hierarchical concept made her feel scared even after winning. I was just comforting her at the time, and I didn't mean anything else."
Ji Wujiu frowned as he listened, somewhat annoyed.
"Master, please don't blame Junior Sister Lin. If you must blame someone, blame your disciple. I was wrong and am willing to accept the punishment." After seeing the recording stone, Wen Nanfeng found it hard to deny that there was nothing wrong with his criticism of his junior sister. Now he only hoped that his master would not implicate Junior Sister Lin because of this.
He blamed his junior sister, but it had nothing to do with her. She hadn't asked him to do it; it was all his own doing.
With his head down, Wen Nanfeng was completely oblivious to Ji Wujiu's disappointed look. He was only focused on removing Lin Ya from the picture, afraid of implicating her.
In reality, Lin Ya is the sect leader's disciple, and her talent is so high. As long as she doesn't violate the sect rules or do anything to betray the sect, no one will do anything to her. There's no need for him to protect her at all. (End of Chapter)
