The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Zhao Wuji’s expression shifted slightly.

Given Yun Jin’s personality, what good could she possibly say? She’d likely urge everyone to execute Gu Jinghong on the spot!

Although Zhao Wuji had prompted Gu Jinghong to confess, this was still his painstakingly nurtured second disciple. He certainly hadn’t intended for Gu Jinghong to die over this!

His reason for choosing to have Gu Jinghong come forward was that if Ye Danxia were confirmed as an evil energy carrier, she’d have no way out. But Gu Jinghong’s situation should still have some room for maneuver.

“I believe—” Zhao Wuji was about to object.

But for the first time, Ling Fei actively spoke up for a disciple, cutting in, “This young lady’s words are most reasonable. As the victim, it’s only natural for her to decide the punishment, especially since she merely wants to say a few words.”

“My little disciple has endured so much unfairness since joining the sect. Now you won’t even let her speak?” Lin Ya said coldly. “Remember, Little Jin was nearly framed to death!”

Zhao Wuji’s expression kept changing.

At this moment, he felt as if things were spinning completely out of his control.

Previously, his biggest rival had been Lin Ya. Lin Ya was a sword prodigy, and over the years, even with all the pills his father provided, Zhao Wuji still couldn’t measure up to Lin Ya.

Even the Supreme Elders had said the next Sect Leader position belonged to none other than Lin Ya!

Zhao Wuji, with his high self-regard, could hardly tolerate being overshadowed by Lin Ya at every turn.

Fortunately, later on, he became the new Sect Leader, while Lin Ya became a cripple.

Though Lin Ya’s injury was sustained for the sect’s sake, the sect couldn’t maintain a cripple as a Peak Master.

He had waited and waited, finally reaching this point. In just three months, once Lin Ya lost the sect-wide competition, he would completely lose his position as Peak Master.

Then, the humiliation of being constantly overshadowed in the past could easily be avenged.

Over these years, he had suppressed Lin Ya both openly and covertly, which many had witnessed.

He knew some people disapproved and secretly helped Lin Ya.

But that didn’t matter.

A mere Lin Ya wasn’t worth these people openly defying him.

Taking it slow, he would eventually ensure Lin Ya had no chance of recovery.

However.

Ever since this Five Element Root disciple joined, everything seemed to have changed.

First Chen Hao, then Ruan Jun, and now Gu Jinghong.

Even Danxia’s reputation was in tatters.

Although no one had publicly criticized him yet, Zhao Wuji knew that seeds of doubt were sprouting.

People’s opinions of him were likely growing increasingly negative.

Even Ling Fei, who had always remained neutral and uninvolved, was now decidedly speaking up for Yun Jin!

If this continued, wouldn’t this Yun Jin turn everything upside down?

Zhao Wuji’s expression grew somber.

No, he wouldn’t let her upset the balance.

Five Element Roots cultivated extremely slowly. Even if Yun Jin had some clever tricks, they’d be useless in the face of absolute power!

In three months!

Jun’er would personally kill her!

“Sect Leader, don’t look so gloomy. Why don’t you hear what I have to say first?” Yun Jin said lazily.

She couldn’t bear to let Gu Jinghong die just like that.

“Little Jin, speak,” Lin Ya said directly.

Yun Jin chuckled and said, “Actually, although I haven’t been here long, I believe everyone has come to know me quite well.”

Everyone nodded.

Yes, they knew her very well.

The queen of pettiness and showing off—that was her.

Yun Jin continued, “I’ve always been a low-key person, gentle and kind-hearted. Most importantly, I’m also extremely beautiful.”

Everyone: “????”

Can you hear yourself? What are you saying?

“Emotional value +50!”

“Emotional value +10!”

“Emotional value +30!”

As the ding-ding-ding sounds kept coming, Yun Jin’s smile grew even brighter. “As such a good person, I like to return evil with kindness. Besides, I didn’t actually get hurt this time, so I don’t think Senior Brother Gu should be put to death.”

Yun Jin saying this shocked not only Zhao Wuji and Ye Danxia, but even Lin Ya.

The next moment, he immediately understood.

He got it.

His little disciple must be up to something!

It must be so.

Did you really expect her to return evil with kindness?

Gu Jinghong also looked at Yun Jin in a daze.

He had nearly caused her death.

Was this woman trying to save him? Was it real or fake?

Zhao Wuji’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Oh? Then what do you suggest?”

Yun Jin said with a smile, “Death is like a lamp going out; it doesn’t properly atone for crimes committed. Only by living can one have the chance to make amends, right?”

“Right, right, right, right.” Zhao Wuji nodded repeatedly. “I didn’t expect you to be so reasonable.”

“But. While the death sentence can be waived, punishment cannot be avoided,” Yun Jin pointed at Gu Jinghong. “I have only one request: let him be my servant for three months. I promise not to take his life, but other than that, he must accept whatever punishment I give without resistance.”

Yun Jin clearly remembered how Gu Jinghong had tormented her in her past life.

Now that he had fallen into her hands, it was time to pay it back bit by bit.

Three months as a servant.

And he had to accept punishment without resistance.

Zhao Wuji’s expression changed.

This demand seemed rather humiliating for Gu Jinghong.

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow. “This is my only request! Otherwise, framing me as an evil energy carrier and attempting to have me killed—this matter is clear as day. According to sect rules, it’s undoubtedly a capital offense. Sect Leader, if you insist on shielding him, I’d rather use up my favors to bring in Elder Sword, and I won’t rest until justice is done.”

Yun Jin brought up Elder Sword again, making Zhao Wuji’s face even darker.

He felt somewhat angry, yet for the moment, he truly had no way to deal with Yun Jin, the victim.

After all, this incident was due to Gu Jinghong’s own carelessness.

Now Zhao Wuji felt some dissatisfaction towards this disciple who had put him in such a dilemma. He looked directly at Gu Jinghong and said, “Jinghong, what do you think about this?”

Gu Jinghong gritted his teeth.

Death.

Or abandoning his dignity.

After a long while.

His straight back suddenly hunched. “I’m willing to be Yun Jin’s servant for three months.”

Zhao Wuji had anticipated this. He glanced at the others. “Yun Jin is the victim, and she’s made this request, which Jinghong has agreed to. Is this resolution fair enough?”

Since it was Yun Jin’s own request, there was naturally nothing more to say.

Even Lin Ya refrained from commenting.

Zhao Wuji then snorted coldly, “Then let it be so.”

“Wait,” Yun Jin spoke again.

“What else do you want?” Zhao Wuji looked at her irritably. “It’s too late to change your mind now.”

“Change my mind? Why would I do that?” Yun Jin let out a creepy laugh. “I’m very satisfied with the idea of turning the proud Senior Brother Gu into a dog on my leash.”

A dog on her leash…

Everyone looked at Gu Jinghong, whose face had turned ashen.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to them.

Given Yun Jin’s level of vindictiveness, he might be better off dead.

“But. My cultivation isn’t high enough right now,” Yun Jin said directly. “How can we ensure this Senior Brother Gu obeys me properly? I want to establish a three-month Master-Servant Contract with him! I’ll be the master, and he’ll be the servant!”
