Chapter 197 Trained into a Dog

Xi Jili had no choice but to go find Pei Rong.

He knew Jiang Lisheng too well. From childhood to adulthood, among all the fellow disciples in Qingxu, he was the only one who was somewhat special in front of his senior sister. He didn't want to break the relationship, so he couldn't be too forceful and could only take it slow.

But behind this gradual plan, Wei Qinglan is his biggest enemy.

He came to Pei Rong's residence and saw him sitting under a tree in the yard with a book in his hand. He called out, "Brother Pei."

Pei Rong raised his head and saw that it was Xi Jili. He put down the book and stood up.

Xi Jili saw the scroll on the table and raised his eyebrows. "Kunlun's Entry Sutra? Did Senior Brother Lu give it to you?"

Pei Rong nodded.

Xi Jili asked: "Do you want to go to Kunlun?"

Pei Rong shook his head. "Brother Lu said that whether it is Kunlun's magic or Qingxu's magic, the introductory Heart Sutra is not much different. Seeing that I have been idle, he gave me a volume of Kunlun's Heart Sutra to study for myself."

Xi Jili said: "Kunlun is the leader of the three major immortal sects. As you know, Senior Brother Yunduan of the Yun family is from Kunlun. If you want to become a disciple of Kunlun, Kunlun should also accept you."

Pei Rong still shook his head, "I worship Qingxu."

Xi Jili looked at him, "Do you want to become a disciple of Qingxu yourself, or is it because of my senior sister?"

Pei Rong paused, "My life was saved by Miss Jiang. She also asked me if I was willing to become a disciple of Qingxu, so I naturally did."

"So it's because of my senior sister." Xi Jili raised his eyebrows.

Pei Rong admitted and nodded.

Xi Jili took out a scroll of the Heart Sutra from his storage ring and handed it to him. "My senior sister has learned things differently from others since she was a child. I'm afraid she will lead you astray, so I'll teach you the basics."

Pei Rong's expression was touched, and he took it with his hand, "Thank you."

Xi Jili twirled his fingers and said, "I don't accept verbal thanks. If you really want to thank me, then you can tell me how my senior sister and Wei Qinglan settled down in your Pei family."

Pei Rong was stunned.

Xi Jili looked at him and said, "This is easy."

Pei Rong was puzzled, "Why do you want to know..."

"Of course it's because on the first day I entered the sect, when I saw my senior sister, I wanted to marry her. I have been thinking about my senior sister since I was a child, and Wei Qinglan can't take her away from me." Although Xi Jili's tone sounded light and shallow, every word he said contained countless weight.

Pei Rong was shocked.

Xi Jili smiled at him and said, "Speak?"

Pei Rong pursed his lips.

Xi Jili did not give him time to think. "You have not yet avenged your great hatred. Although my Martial Uncle Hua has no disciples, she is very picky. She is now in Taiyi's Spirit Building Pond. With her talent, I am afraid it won't be long before she comes out of the Spirit Building Pond. If she doesn't like you by then, she won't accept you. But if you enter the sect earlier, you will have more confidence in front of my Martial Uncle Hua and let her accept you."

He continued, "The reason why Uncle Hua and Uncle Mo of Kunlun were seriously injured this time must be that they were plotted against, otherwise, with their cultivation, they should not have suffered such a disaster. Don't think that she is not powerful just because she is seriously injured and almost lost her life and cultivation. My senior sister took good care of you and didn't push you to others, but left you to my Uncle Hua. You should understand that among all the uncles and aunts in Qingxu, my Uncle Hua is the highest in terms of cultivation. Among all the uncles and aunts in Qingxu, her status and voice are the greatest." "But why didn't you become her disciple in the first place?" Pei Rong asked.

"I wanted to become the sect master's disciple, but the sect master no longer accepted disciples, so he chose two masters for me. They are suitable for my spiritual root cultivation." Xi Jili explained for him, "Your spiritual roots have been reshaped by my senior sister. Any master of Qingxu Peak is suitable."

Pei Rong nodded and asked, "Does Miss Jiang know that you are using this as a thank you gift to threaten me?"

Xi Jili paused for a moment, then smiled, "Even if she knew, she would think it was harmless and would not blame me."

He was sure of that.

Pei Rong nodded, "In that case, let me tell you, it's really nothing."

Seeing that he agreed, Xi Jili walked to the table and sat down.

Pei Rong also sat down slowly and told him about his first meeting with Wei Qinglan and Jiang Lisheng in Hexin City, and about inviting them to his mansion, as well as what happened in the mansion. He spoke in detail, and the conversations were all very clear. It was not that he had a good memory, but that those two people were too special. After they left, he recalled them many times, so they were rooted in his memory.

This memory, of his parents, was so vivid then, but now even their souls are gone.

After he finished speaking, grief filled his entire body again.

After hearing this, Xi Jili's face looked unhappy. He didn't expect that Wei Qinglan and his senior sister would get along like this. Wei Qinglan was not aloof, arrogant, or conceited. The two got along very well. No wonder he lent the warm jade bed to his senior sister.

You know, the warm jade bed that Wei Qinglan used for herself was just as private as the Soul-Guiding Spring that Ye Xingci borrowed from her senior sister. But her senior sister used the warm jade bed every day whenever she had a rest, and she refused Ye Xingci's Soul-Guiding Spring, even though she could use it with her clothes on. But she was very open about using Wei Qinglan's things.

Sure enough, when he first met his senior sister, he felt that Wei Qinglan treated her differently, and it was not an illusion.

For a long time, neither of the two people spoke in this courtyard, under the tree.

Xi Jili was young and had a different temperament than ordinary people. He quickly suppressed his turbulent emotions and said to Pei Rong, "I will teach you the basic skills."

Pei Rong was pulled out of his grief, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

In another courtyard, Yu Congrong was scolding Lu Shaoling.

She pointed at Lu Shaoling and said, "How many times have I told you not to speak nonsense? Just say whatever you think. You said what you said today for fun, but have you thought about the consequences? What do you mean that even if your Junior Sister Jiang seduces you, she has to seduce your Junior Brother Wei? What do you mean that Junior Brother Ye of Taiyi is not going to get a chance?"

Lu Shaoling hung his head, as if he had been scolded like a dog, not daring to say a word.

Yu Congrong took a deep breath and said, "When we return to Kunlun, go to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment."

Lu Shaoling suddenly had a bitter face, raised his head, and said pitifully, "Master, I know I was wrong, please punish me!"

He didn't want to go to the Discipline Hall. Thinking about how miserable An Ruxu was while in the Discipline Hall, he didn't want to go through that himself.

"Just because I punish you, can you get away with it? You tell me for yourself!" Yu Congrong was angry, "I have been too indulgent to you. You implicated Qinglan. I can't cover up for you in this matter."

Involving Wei Qinglan is never a trivial matter in the sect.

Lu Shaoling really regretted it at this moment. He whispered, "Master, before you left the mountain, didn't Junior Brother Wei also ask you to take care of Junior Sister Jiang? I... wasn't wrong, was I? Junior Brother Wei is particularly concerned about Junior Sister Jiang. He is talented and beautiful. Even if Junior Sister Jiang wants to seduce her, it is indeed not Ye Xingci's turn..."

"You still say that!" Yu Congrong angrily reached out and hit him, "He told me that it was in private, but what about you? Did you spread it to everyone? You have a pig brain."
