Chapter 608: Lingjian Zhenren: Junior Sister, Why Do You Suffer?

"Ming Jianzi senior brother, why are you suffering?"

Ming Wuzi looked at the senior brother before him, dared not return to the sect, but wanted to summon him out.

Ming Wuzi slipped out secretly, shaking off all the tailing disciples behind him; those people were disciples the Sect Master used to spy on him, and killing them would not help.

Moreover, he cannot do that for now; although he sees that the Sect Master has a problem, he will not, like the senior brother, resist him face‑to‑face.

When his strength is insufficient to resist, he chooses a more prudent method.

Ming Jianzi gave a bitter smile: "Junior brother, senior brother doesn't want this, but Master forces me, insisting that senior brother take action against junior sister Chu Ran; senior brother cannot do it."

"Master's issue, you junior brother must have also sensed, right?"

Ming Wuzi fell silent.

He glanced at the senior brother, saying lightly: "Actually, long ago he already had a problem; it was just that back then you senior brother couldn't detect it."

At those words, Ming Jianzi was stunned for a moment, then looked at his junior brother in disbelief.

"So you discovered the problem back then; why didn't you tell senior brother?"

Ming Wuzi smiled at Ming Jianzi: "Senior brother, if junior brother had told you, would the you of that time have believed junior brother's words?"

"You wouldn't just fail to distrust me, you'd also suspect me, fearing that later you would still take action against junior brother."

"Junior brother, I don't want to cause trouble for myself; senior brother, you are too slow to react."

"But perhaps this is why he likes you so much."

Ming Jianzi forced a smile.

He couldn't smile.

He knows he is full of trust in Master, never doubting Master.

But he… did not expect junior brother to detect the problem so quickly yet not tell him; the former him would indeed, as junior brother said, doubt junior brother, question junior brother.

He would even think junior brother had gone mad.

To this, Ming Wuzi chose silence, not telling senior brother all this.

Ming Jianzi fell silent again; he didn't think those words were good at all.

"Junior brother, stop speaking; back then senior brother was wrong."

Ming Jianzi shook his head; he was wrong, terribly so, only now seeing the problem, and still constantly helping Master handle issues.

Those who seem to have problems may actually have none.

It is Master who has the problem.

"Junior brother, this time senior brother asks you out to request a favor."

Ming Wuzi immediately refused: "Senior brother, don't think of having junior brother rescue Elder Xinran, that's impossible."

"Junior brother's strength is decent, but cannot deal with the Sect Master."

"Such a matter, junior brother cannot do."

At this moment, his strength does not permit him to do so.

Helping requires acting within one's ability, not doing the impossible knowingly.

Ming Wuzi does not want to be targeted by Master nor cause trouble for himself; between senior brother and Master, he chose neutrality.

Or rather, his strength does not allow him to do that.

"Junior brother, could it be?"

Ming Jianzi played the emotional card, hoping junior brother would stand on his side.

Ming Wuzi raised his hand, shook his head: "Senior brother, this matter, stop talking about it."

"If, at that time, you can get that person up the mountain, perhaps junior brother could stand on your side."

"Only the two of us, this matter, do not bring it up again."

The two of them could not overturn Master's rule.

Lingjian Zhenren's control over the Spirit Sword Sect exceeds their imagination.

Unless they can attain absolute strength to suppress and kill Master, only then could they act.

That person, of course, is Chen Chuyang; if he does not come, Ming Wuzi cannot act.

"Never mind, junior brother, senior brother does not force you, just hopes you won't stand on his side."

Ming Wuzi replied: "Naturally no problem, senior brother, you be careful lately, he is looking for you."

"Don't let him find you, otherwise senior brother you might die."

Ming Jianzi's expression changed.

"How dare he?"

"Heh heh heh," Ming Wuzi sneered: "Since you betrayed him and stand opposite him, he will definitely kill you."

"So, for a while, senior brother you should not return, unless that person comes with you."

"Senior brother, go to Longshe Cheng; only there is safe."

Other places, even Wangdu, cannot be safe.

The Spirit Sword Sect will not give the Great Qi Dynasty any face for those they wish to kill.

Only Longshe Cheng, only that man, can suppress everything.

"Thank you junior brother for the reminder, senior brother is immensely grateful."

Ming Wuzi waved his hand: "Enough, between you and me, no need for this."

"Senior brother, take care."

"Junior brother, take care."

The two part ways.

Ming Wuzi returned to the Spirit Sword Sect.

Lingjian Zhenren appeared, staring at him.

Ming Wuzi raised their head and smiled: "Greetings, Master."

"Hmph." Lingjian Zhenren gave a cold snort, saying: "Ming Wuzi, you went to see Ming Jianzi, didn't you?"

Ming Wuzi smiled without speaking, meeting their master's gaze.

Lingjian Zhenren was very angry, wanting to strike, while Ming Wuzi placed their hand on their sword, ready to draw it at any moment.

If they fought, it would draw others' attention; Lingjian Zhenren could not quickly subdue this disciple.

"Ming Jianzi is a traitor of the sect; do you also wish to betray the sect?"

Ming Wuzi chuckled: "Master, whether my senior brother is a traitor is not for you to decide; it needs the sect's judgment."

"And I, whom I wish to see, is my freedom."

"Master, are you meddling too much?"

One sentence directly made Lingjian Zhenren furious and flustered.

Filled with shame and anger, he raised his hand; not far away, several figures stared this way.

Lingjian Zhenren instantly lowered his hand, giving Ming Wuzi a fierce glare.

"Hmph."

Flicking his sleeve, he left; Ming Wuzi glanced toward where the elders were and smiled.

Several elders slowly departed; this battle never got started.

In the cellar.

The furious Lingjian Zhenren came again, looking at that still icy junior sister, becoming even angrier.

"Junior sister, why are you doing this again?"

"Opposing me, your senior brother, will not end well."

"Before, so many junior brothers and sisters stood against me; the result? They all died."

"This place is their final burial ground."

"Junior sister, you are a smart person; your senior brother is reluctant to kill you, so don't seek your own death."

He lifted Xinran Zhanglao's chin, threatening at close range.

Xinran Zhanglao grit their teeth, coldly mocking: "Senior brother, do you think the junior sister doesn't know?"

"Their deaths, the junior sister knows all along; she just never suspected you before—unexpectedly, you are so ruthless, raising your hand against your own people."

"Today, you want the junior sister to bow again; I tell you, it's impossible."

She could never stand on that person's side.

The people of Tianwai, seeking to control this realm, she does not allow.

Those junior brothers and sisters likely also discovered this, which is why they……

They resisted.

Without resistance, their goal would have been achieved.
