    【Master Chapter 6】Jiaoer, don’t cry

    Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

    In the past five years, Chu Jiao has not slacked off for a day. Every day, she practices harder and more seriously than the day before. However, for some reason, her state has never made a breakthrough since she reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training three years ago.

    She built the foundation three times in a row, each time ending in failure.

    Watching the brothers who started in the same period become foundation-building monks one by one, Pei Xiu, the number one in the Dengtian Collection that year, has reached the middle stage of foundation-building. She ranked second, but now she is the last one.This feeling is not pleasant at all.

    Logically speaking, Chu Jiao has a solid foundation and has both wood and fire spiritual roots. Although her talent is not top-notch, it is still superior. A small foundation building should not be a problem at all.But it is what it is.Ling Yue also checked his apprentice’s body and found nothing unusual.

    Chu Jiao’s attacks failed one after another, and Ling Yue, who was naturally taciturn, could not say anything comforting. Every time, he gave a bunch of pills dryly, and Chu Jiao, who was trapped in her realm, also accepted them obediently, feeling only grateful in her heart.

    The sky is light towards dawn.

    On the top of Langfeng Mountain, a slender and agile figure is dancing with a sword.

    He swung his sword invisible towards the ancient pine tree, but saw the fall and was startled before his eyes.

    The cold light and clear shadows went with the wind, and a green rainbow illuminated the blue sky.

    Thousands of pines and waves fill the river and the sky is filled with fog. The girl dressed in red looks like a mighty giant, and she looks like a flaming phoenix in the smokey mountains. She carries the sun and moon through the frost and cold. She brushes her clothes and draws her sword. The sword’s light is like a rainbow, shining through the sky.

    Chu Jiao didn’t know how stunningly beautiful the scene of her dancing alone at this moment was. She was only immersed in the mystery of swordsmanship. While practicing swordsmanship, she replayed the movements taught by Ling Yue in the past in her mind, and constantly improved her movements.

    The sun and the moon were shining brightly, and as her swordsmanship advanced one level after another, the true energy in Chu Jiao’s body was also running rapidly. Unknowingly, the entire Langfeng Peak morning wind started to rise, and the clouds rolled wildly.

    Chu Jiao, who was in the eye of the wind, did not notice the changes in the surrounding environment at all. Her sword flower was drawn faster and faster, and her whole body was surrounded by sword light, rustling like a shooting star.

    “Zheng——”

    Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the girl’s dancing sword was blocked by another sharp sword. The two swords collided, and the crisp collision sound called Chu Jiao back from her trance.

    “Master…”

    The force of the sword made Chu Jiao retreat repeatedly. Ling Yue stretched out his hand to put the scabbard of the sword out, put it against Chu Jiao’s waist, and gently moved it back, and Chu Jiao stabilized her figure.

    “Jiao’er, calm down.”

    The cold voice was as reassuring as ever. Chu Jiao stood in front of him with her head lowered, like a little baby who had made a mistake, dejected and frustrated.

    “I’m sorry, Master. I… was too impatient…”

    Although she never showed too much concern, the uneasiness and anxiety about not being able to advance have always lingered in her heart, and she could not hide in the sword dance. If the master hadn’t stopped her just now, she might have gone crazy because of this mentality.

    “Those who stay for a long time will fly high. Those who start first will thank you early.”

    Those who can lie dormant for a long time will surely fly as high as clouds once they take to the sky.The earlier they bloom, the earlier they die.

    With a big palm caressing her head, Chu Jiao listened in shock to the concise but obviously comforting words coming from the man’s mouth. She blinked and blinked again, but she still couldn’t hold back the gradually moistening of her eyes.

    “Master…Master…”

    Why are you so nice to me?

    I, a disciple, have failed to live up to expectations and embarrassed you, but you have never scolded me.

    Chu Jiao buried her head and hummed, not knowing what to say.

    “Don’t cry.”

    The dry palms, as cold as ever, touched her downturned face and brushed away her tears.

    Chu Jiao raised her head and looked at Ling Yue with wet eyes, filled with self-blame and uneasiness, “Master, I don’t want to disappoint you… I, am I useless…”

    Ling Yue looked at the girl’s red eyes and nose, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.The burning sensation as his fingers caressed the girl’s teardrops spread to his chest along his fingertips. He frowned slightly, a rare expression of disapproval on his usually expressionless face.

    “Why belittle yourself?”

    “You are not cultivating the Tao for me, nor are you cultivating the Tao for others.”

    “Think clearly about what you want.”

    “If you always care about other people’s opinions, Jiao’er, you will be disappointed as a teacher.”

    It turns out…she was obsessed with it.

    Ling Yue’s words were like a clear spring, immediately waking up Chu Jiao who was overwhelmed by other people’s comments.That’s right, why should you care what others think of her? She is her. Even if she is a little different now, what does it matter to others!She didn’t believe that she couldn’t catch up!

    “Thank you, Master!”

    A smile appeared on the girl’s pretty face again. She sniffed, hugged the tall man in front of her, and nuzzled her in his arms, “I know that Master is the best to my disciple!”

    Behind her invisible side, the man’s hand hung in the air. After hesitating for a long time, he finally landed gently on her shoulder, gently, with careful comfort and care.

    “Hey, isn’t this Junior Sister Chu?”

    On this day, Chu Jiao was receiving tasks in the Deacon Hall as usual, when she heard some strange female voices in her ears.She didn’t pay much attention, received the pair of cards and was about to leave.

    As the largest sect in the Taoist sect, the Haoqi Sect is rich in cultivation resources, but if it wants to obtain resources, it must contribute to the sect. This is the origin of the Deacon Hall.Each disciple can receive tasks in the Deacon Hall, ranging from exploring secret realms to hunting monsters. After completing the tasks, they can get corresponding points, and the points can be exchanged for thousands of kinds of training resources in the Baibao Hall.

    Although Chu Jiao has a rich master, Ling Yue has only a few things that are suitable for her. In addition, these tasks are part of self-cultivation and self-improvement, so Chu Jiao does not reject it at all.It can be said that although her level has not improved in the past two years, her practical experience has been accumulated bit by bit.

    However, she didn’t want to cause trouble, but trouble came to her.

    Suddenly a sword emerged from her chest, causing Chu Jiao to stop and look at the people blocking her.

    They were several pretty female disciples. The leading girl had a peach-like face and a very flamboyant look in her eyes.

    That is the heroine, Su Ruizhi.

    She was also the junior sister who entered the inner sect in the same year as her and became the sect of True Monarch Chixia.

    Su Ruizhi has a single spirit root of the water system. She grew up listening to the stories of True Lord Jiuxiao, and wanted to be his disciple. She thought that with her talent and practice, she would have the best chance of becoming Lord Jiuxiao’s disciple. However, unexpectedly, Chu Jiao appeared out of nowhere in the Dengtian Collection and snatched away True Lord Jiuxiao’s attention, replacing her and becoming his only disciple.

    Although she was surrounded by stars when she sat down with True Lord Chixia, as the saying goes, what you don’t get is always the best. Ever since she met True Lord Jiuxiao, she has never forgotten it, thinking that Chu Jiao had robbed her of her master and opportunity.

    In the world of cultivation, the weak eat the strong, and seniority is determined by strength.When entering, everyone is in the Qi training stage, and it all depends on the strength of the master.Jiuxiao Zhenjun is also the most powerful among the elders, and Chu Jiao has naturally become the senior sister among them. It is precisely because of this that Su Ruizhi at least still respects Chu Jiao.

    But now, Su Ruizhi successfully broke through the foundation building a month ago. Looking at Chu Jiao who was still practicing Qi, she couldn’t help but feel arrogant.

    “Why, didn’t Senior Uncle teach you etiquette, Junior Sister? Why don’t you say hello to Senior Sister when you see her?”

    Su Ruizhi raised her eyebrows and asked with a mocking smile.

    “Senior Sister Su.”

    Chu Jiao stopped and raised her head, “I wonder if you have any advice?”

    She said she could, but Chu Jiao hated it when someone blamed her master because of her.
