"Junior Brother!"
"Yes!"
"Listen to this question!"
"Ready, Senior Brother!"
As Yan Xu waved his sleeve, the beautiful girl sitting cross-legged on the grass beside the lake trembled. He concentrated fully on the questions that his senior brother would ask.
"Assuming your cultivation base has reached the peak realm of foundation formation. While flying in the air, you saw a cultivator who was in the middle realm of the golden core persecuting a female cultivator in the realm of condensing qi. The question is, what are you going to do?"
"There are three choices ...."
"First, you go ahead and beat him up. You will then become an incarnation of justice!"
"Secondly, you throw dirt from afar indifferently. Thus, you will ruin his bad intentions."
"Last, you pretend to be the wind, see nothing and go like the wind."
Miao'er blinked his eyes. That question and choice does not seem to be something that a moral girl at her age can understand, although it is clear what each option means because she still has the knowledge of an 18-year-old girl from Earth.
Yan Xu smiled. His eyes formed a thin line as he gave Miao'er a reminder. "This question has only one correct answer. Make your choice, Junior Brother."
"One?" miao'er replied, unsure.
Yan Xu replied nonchalantly, "What if this fellow has hidden his profound cultivation base? What if he was an expert cultivator who was in the realm of the mystic realm or above? Usually, those who do such disgusting things blatantly must be despicable and shameless people. How can you put your hope in his honesty?!"
"Then ... two?" Miao'er frowned.
"Don't forget that you are also a female cultivator, Junior Sister."
Yan Xu sighed. "If the assumption in option one was true, the beast would become much more brutal when he saw how beautiful you were. Are you sure you'll get mercy from him?"
Miao'er's face flushed. He felt a sudden dizzy feeling attacking him. Then he replied fearfully, "However, Senior Brother, the third option is not something we should do as cultivators. When I was alive with my family, Father taught us, his children that we should always lend a hand to the weak and punish the bullies. Then, Father also said if everyone does not choose to lend a hand to help those in need, are not the victims—"
"No. Junior Sister, you must remember that your thoughts will only be completely correct if you are in a peaceful and good environment. However, the cultivation world was not a peaceful and extremely barbaric place. There were many strong cultivators around. Cultivators can go to war just to get the one artifact or weapon they want. Most of those who survive are bad and petty."
Yan Xu looked at the surface of the lake with his hands behind his back and sighed. "It is difficult for those with a kind heart and full of justice to survive in this world. The only thing we have to do is to prevent ourselves from doing evil deeds. However, we do not need to stop others from doing so ...."
"We must strive to survive rather than become a hero when we are weak. When we stand at the top and become the ones who make the rules, then we can change the environment for the weak in the cultivation world."
"So, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Miao'er nodded heavily. His eyes are full of light.
At that moment, the two disciples were still pretending not to notice the qi energy flowing around them. The shadow of a fairy lady was right behind them without a sound.
Yan Xu lowered his voice and said, "Junior Sister! I'll give you one more chance to answer. Speak your answer out loud happily and firmly! If you see a male cultivator persecuting a female cultivator, what should you do?!"
Miao'er's eyes sparkled. Although his voice was not very loud, he sounded very firm. "Last choice! Pretend to be the wind! Don't see anything and leave quickly from there!"
"Yes!" Yan Xu could not help but give a thumbs up to his junior sister. He felt a little touched by his answer.
Miao'er had reached to this stage from Yan Xu's short lesson he started last month. If this continued, he would not have to worry anymore that his junior sister would likely cause trouble and involve him in danger!
'Having a Junior Sister who knows how to properly survive and how to look inconspicuous, it really is a blessing ....'
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew behind him. The two disciples felt their hair stand up straight. A soft and cold fairy voice sounded from behind them.
"Yes! Xu!"'s!"
A trace! A trace! A trace!
Miao'er's teeth could be heard clearly.
The corner of Yan Xu's mouth twitched as he turned to look. He instantly pulled his smiley handsome face.
"Teacher, is Master on a break? Does Master want to give guidance to Junior Sister today— ..."
"Teacher! This disciple only gave the teachings that Master gave every day, the Disciple only wanted to pass them on to Junior Sister!"
"Naughty Disciples!"
Lan Xihe's long white hair fluttered in the air and her eyes bulged wide. His face was red with embarrassment. He raised his whip of a thousand justice and was about to beat up Yan Xu with it.
"I'm his teacher here. How could you teach that to your junior sister without my permission?! I have to teach you a lesson today!"
It was obvious that the teachings were aimed at making Yan Xu not a hero who saved beauty, which was why Lan Xihe always emphasized the teachings every day. However, when educating Miao'er, of course, he educated him with the values of the norm as well as good morals and different from the education of his oldest students. Where would he put his embarrassed face if anyone knew he was teaching it to his students?
However, when the whip of a thousand justice was about to land, Yan Xu's shadow was enveloped in a blue aura. He instantly appeared on top of a large tree that they usually used as a shelter. He cupped his hands and begged for mercy again.
"How dare you run away using the blue wood heart technique?! You really deserve to be beaten!"
Lan Xihe was so angry that she forgot to use some of her full strength. He raised the whip of a thousand justice and ran after Yan Xu like a woman who found her lover cheating on her with another woman.
The shadow of Yan Xu floated here and there to avoid his teacher's blow. Lan Xihe used a soul-chasing technique on the whip of a thousand justice, her whip extending and leaving only a shadow on each of her blows. However, Yan Xu moved nimbly through the sidelines of the large tree as well as penetrating in and out shrouded the roots of the plant into the ground with the blue wood heart technique.
"Reduce your anger, Master. I did that by considering the kindness for Junior Sister."
"Eternal Sect Luo was filled with many human cultivators. Our sect belongs to the deepest base of the iceberg and many dragons are also phoenix crouched here. But our sect is also a sect of justice, you are forbidden to spread my teachings against other disciples!"
"Teacher, this is all for Junior Sister's sake!"
"Ptoey! I'll make you battered today! Haah ... You really pissed me off!"
"Teacher, your heavenly beauty will disappear if Master continues to be angry ...."
Under the shade of another large tree, Miao'er was initially very worried when he saw Master chasing behind his senior brother. However, he gradually laughed out loud from the antics by Master and his senior brother.
Miao'er knew that their teacher was actually not trying to punish his senior brother because Yan Xu had managed to escape his blow so easily. However, he sometimes felt astonished by the red face of his teacher who was like a tomato, but he immediately got rid of it due to the antics of their actions.
After chasing for a while, Lan Xihe had managed to punish her eldest disciple at the very last moment for finally remembering to use a quarter of her full strength. Lan Xihe jumped up and pinned Yan Xu to the ground. He used his whip of a thousand justice and whipped Yan Xu's buttocks, producing a series of rhythmic sounds in the process.
After a while, Lan Xihe had completed the punishment of her eldest disciple. He rearranged his perish immortal robe that was a little messy. He shouted at his mischievous eldest disciple lying on the ground, "Reflect your actions! You are not allowed to teach your junior sister how to behave in the future! Fix the neighborhood around here!"
"Help. Students follow Master's orders ...."
"Come, Miao'er! I'll teach you instead! Forget all the things your senior brother has taught you!"
"O-oh!" Miao'er answered softly. He stared anxiously at his senior brother's swollen butt covered in his immortal robe. It was then that he saw Yan Xu's right hand hidden behind the arm of his immortal robe.
Yan Xu waved his right hand at him slightly and gave a thumbs up.
Miao'er forgot his worries. He saw how pitiful Senior Brother was when lying on the ground, bowing his head and giggling. Then, he chased after his teacher who had left first to cover his face which was flushed red with embarrassment.
His steps gradually accelerated, from ordinary roads to running.
Yan Xu sighed as he lay on the ground. White clouds drifted towards him and carried him upwards.
'Teachers are truly unforgiving! The distance of our strength is still far away, even he can still easily catch up to me with just a little energy. Though I've used a full quarter of my strength!'
Yan Xu touched his butt and took a cold breath. Then, he sighed once more.
If he knew that his teacher would actually beat him up, Yan Xu would probably hide behind his junior sister next time or instantly perform an escape technique until concealment was not discovered.
No, he can't do that. He must take into account the dignity of his teacher. After all, his teacher seemed to be enjoying his daily life with them, it was obvious that Guru was once just a girl who lived lonely at the top alone. He faced solitude for millions of years, it was definitely very difficult for him and Yan Xu somehow saw it like the life he had lived in the previous world.
From the soul-chasing technique that his teacher performed, it still looked weaker compared to when he first saw it. The energy density affecting the shadows left behind, to the amount of qi energy used by Master was too minimal. It was obvious that it was far from his full strength.
Forgetit. Yan Xu had to think of a way to increase his chances of survival in the face of heavenly tribulation later on.
Yan Xu scratched his head and was engrossed with his thoughts as he lay on the clouds. He pointed his index and middle fingers at the broken place due to the chase with Master. Slowly, the broken places repaired themselves as if they had a soul.
