Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 45: Senior Brother and Junior Brother

During their time at Great Victory Pass, Zhu Yan had informed Lu Bei that there would be inner disciples from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect coming to assess their character in the near future. If they were outstanding individuals, there would be an opportunity to return to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

During this period, Lu Bei had been wondering. They had agreed on the near future, but it had been a month and the person still hadn't arrived. Did they get caught for speeding in the air by the Extreme Monarch Sect, or were they involved in a rear-end air accident?

Now, seeing this senior brother displaying his powerful move to explode the fish, Lu Bei finally understood the reason.

Fishing enthusiasts, when they encounter a river, they cast their rods. When they encounter water, they stop. Coming all the way from Mountain State, it was already quite punctual to not take half a year.

It's understandable, it's understandable.

"I am Lu Bei, may I ask which senior brother I am facing?" Lu Bei asked with a cupped fist.

The man in black was embarrassed and dispersed the sword wheel accordingly. He returned the greeting, saying, "Towering Heaven Sword Sect, Lin Yu."

"So it's Senior Brother Lin, I've heard of you for a long time."

"Junior Brother Lu, please don't joke. I'm just an unknown person with no reputation, so how could you have heard of me..."

Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly, and due to muscle memory, he habitually cast his rod. When he snapped back to reality, he felt embarrassed again. "Junior Brother Lu, please forgive me. It's just a habit I can't give up. Wait for me for a moment, I'll finish with one last cast."

"No rush, I'll accompany Senior Brother in fishing," Lu Bei smiled.

"Oh, Junior Brother Lu also likes fishing?"

Lin Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this, regardless of whether Lu Bei was just being polite or not. He held the rod in one hand and took out a fishing rod and a folding stool with the other, smiling and saying, "That's great, with this connection, as brothers who have just met, we were worried that we wouldn't have much to talk about. Fishing and chatting at the same time can help us get closer."

"Uh, there's no need for that, I just occasionally dabble in fishing."

"Then we must fish!"

Lin Yu said seriously, "When one is impatient, they become confused. When one is calm, they become clear. We, as cultivators, should avoid excessive agitation and impatience. Every time I go fishing, I enter a state of tranquility, emptying myself and letting go of burdens. I regain the peace deep within my heart. Even the cultivation problems that trouble me become clear with a clear mind."

Lu Bei: "..."

It made sense, but he had a question. Who was the one just now about to blow up the fish pond?

"The benefits of fishing go beyond this, Junior Brother, take a look."

Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed to the float. "Calmness cultivates oneself, frugality nurtures virtue. Fishing combines movement and stillness, and the process of waiting for the fish to bite aligns with this principle. It is very helpful for tempering perseverance and endurance. To be honest, my current level of cultivation wouldn't be possible without fishing."

Lu Bei: "..."

He said that, but Senior Sister Bai became the first disciple thirty years ago. She wasn't a fishing enthusiast, yet she still managed to defeat you.

"Junior Brother, are you enlightened by my words?"

"I am enlightened. To be calm and avoid impatience, this is not fishing, but cultivation."

"Junior Brother has great insight. Here, take the rod. Today, you and I, as brothers, will jointly comprehend the great Dao!"

"..."

Lu Bei helplessly sat beside Lin Yu. One thing was for sure, he preferred eating fish over fishing.

As he held the fishing rod, Lu Bei suddenly felt something was off. He touched and examined it, and his face immediately turned awkward.

Indeed, he was a seasoned cultivator and fishing enthusiast. Even his spare fishing rod was of blue quality. This made the heirloom lock armor that Big Brother had passed down to him seem inadequate.

On the water's surface, the two floats remained motionless, as if frozen in time.

Lu Bei was quite bored, and seeing Lin Yu so focused and even cautious with his breathing, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation. "Senior Brother Lin, Zhu Senior Sister told me before that Senior Sister Bai was punished with three years of confinement for my sake. How is she doing now?"

"She's doing fine. Senior Sister Bai is someone who enjoys tranquility. She spends her days painting and is quite content."

Lin Yu casually replied, "Don't worry about her. My parents treat her like their own daughter, even better than they treat me. The three-year confinement is just a formality. They won't do anything to her."

"Parents?!"

Lu Bei's eyelids twitched. "May I ask who your parents are, Senior Brother Lin?"

"My father is the head of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, and my mother is the head of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. They are also the masters of Junior Sister Bai."

Lin Yu scratched his nose in confusion. "What? Didn't I just say that?"

"No, besides fishing, you didn't say anything useful."

Lu Bei's mouth twitched as he suddenly thought of a possibility. "May I ask, Senior Brother Lin, is there anyone in our generation of disciples who joined earlier than you?"

"No, I was born the earliest and became a disciple the earliest. You can call me Senior Brother."

"Then... is there anyone who joined later than me?"

"No, the Towering Heaven Sword Sect already has four generations of disciples. Among the third generation disciples, you joined the latest, so you are the youngest Junior Brother."

Lu Bei: (_)

Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Brother...

The relationships are simple yet complicated, and there seems to be a sense of familiarity, as if foreshadowing something.

"Junior Brother Lu, don't just stand there. The fish is biting, quickly reel it in... Oh, it got away."

The fishing line was taut, but nothing was caught. Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh and patted Lu Bei's shoulder, encouraging him, "Don't be discouraged. You lack experience, but if you focus and work hard, one day you will be as experienced as me."

As experienced as an air force guy like you?

By the way, could the Towering Heaven Sword Sect be an air force base?

There was no conflict between Senior Brother and Junior Brother, but with the addition of a Senior Sister, everything became different.

Lu Bei became even more distracted from fishing and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother Lin, what do you think of Senior Sister Bai?"

"Junior Sister Bai is beautiful and has high comprehension. Among the third generation disciples, she has the highest cultivation level, and everyone admires her."

Lin Yu stared at the water surface and casually said, "My father always praises Senior Sister Bai in front of me, saying things like 'the closer the kin, the quicker the action' and 'strike while the iron is hot.' I'm tired of it, so I pursued Senior Sister Bai and even learned painting to please her."

"And then?"

Lu Bei's eyes suddenly sharpened as he thought that Senior Brother must be treated to a feast tonight. He would rely on the mountain to provide food and let the little foxes go to the back mountain to gather hundreds of pounds of red umbrella mushrooms, setting up a table of delicacies.

No wonder the Sect Master never mentioned inviting him back to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect. It turned out to be a psychological shadow caused by unrequited love. He was afraid that his own son couldn't compete with the unexpected Junior Brother and win Senior Sister Bai.

Involving the juniors in the grudges of the previous generation, having a narrow mind and being petty. Can such a person really lead a sect?

Disgusting!

"It's too difficult. Thirty years without any progress. If it were fish, I don't know how many I would have caught."

Lin Yu sighed, "Afterwards, I gave up. Junior Brother, you also fish. What's the point of painting? It's boring. Fishing is more in line with the Dao Integration Realm. Then my father told me that Senior Sister Bai was testing me. With sincerity, even a stone can be moved. As long as I don't give up, I will definitely win over Senior Sister Bai."

"Yeah, the Sect Master is quite optimistic."

"I think so too. Senior Sister Bai is good, but she doesn't fish. Just this alone makes it impossible between her and me."

Lin Yu sighed and hesitated, "Also, I'm too familiar with Senior Sister Bai. My parents treat her like a daughter, and I treat her like a sister. You don't know, I was so embarrassed when I gave her flowers for the first time."

"Senior Brother, it's not your fault. It's all because Senior Sister Bai is too proud. There are beautiful grasses everywhere in the world. I believe you will find someone who suits you."

"I hope so. Actually, it's not that important for cultivators to have a partner. Being carefree alone is more comfortable."

Lin Yu didn't care, "If I have to start a family, it's fine. I don't have high requirements, as long as we share the same interests."

"There is someone like that, someone who likes... likes to fish with you when they have free time."

Lu Bei smiled and said, tonight he wouldn't have the extravagant feast of mountain delicacies. He would go to the Lofty Brow Faction to get five geese and personally cook for Lin Yu, who had come from afar.

By the way, it's no wonder he's the Senior Brother. His demeanor and temperament are impeccable. At first sight, Lu Bei felt an inexplicable closeness.

Now, he feels even closer.

Whether or not to go to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect is not important. Lu Bei sincerely admires this Senior Brother and has accepted him.
