Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

But to Yayin's surprise, when Li Qingwu heard this question this time, he lowered his eyes, thinking about something, and didn't say yes or no.

He just stroked the peach blossoms beside his ears, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yayin raised his eyebrows slightly.

It's really a bit surprising.

--------

It was different from the relaxed atmosphere among the four of them.

The atmosphere in the house was somewhat quiet.

Lin Wenyu sat upright in the chair, completely different from her leisurely and comfortable appearance in Xuanling Sect.

Looking at Jiang Zhi, who was sitting across the table from her with a folding fan in his hand, Lin Wenyu spoke tentatively.

"Senior brother..."

"Snapped."

Jiang Zhi closed the folding fan in his hand.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Have you lost your mind in seclusion?

I've told you so many times, don't call me Senior Brother."

A smile appeared on Lin Wenyu's face.

"Hey, aren't we the only two here?

It’s okay to scream.”

"No."

Jiang Zhi frowned and tapped the back of Lin Wenyu's hand lightly with his folding fan.

"I have not yet become a disciple of Immortal Venerable Wensi, so how can I be called your senior brother?"

Jiang Zhi was not a polite person, but he was always very persistent on this matter.

Lin Wenyu obviously knew why Jiang Zhi was like this.

"Why bother, brother?

You know very well that Master has never blamed you.

Even if you haven't become her disciple, you will always be her disciple in her heart.

In the eyes of us fellow disciples, you are also our well-deserved senior brother."

Facing Lin Wenyu's words, Jiang Zhi fell silent, no longer his usual sharp-tongued look.

After a long while, Jiang Zhi finally spoke.

“I have made up my mind.

There cannot be a stain like mine on the Immortal Venerable's resume."

Lin Wenyu sighed when she heard this, and cursed those inhuman people in the Jiang family in her heart.

--------

Jiang Zhi was born into a prominent family of immortal cultivators.

But his strange appearance at birth made him the target of criticism.

The secret of his eyes attracts others.

In addition, due to his special physique that prevented him from drawing qi into his body, his family gave up on him when he was ten years old. They locked him up at home and did not allow him to go out.

There are many people in the family who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

Seeing that Jiang Zhi had fallen out of favor, many people took advantage of the situation and started to bully and humiliate Jiang Zhi.

Although the Jiang family knew about it, they thought Jiang Zhi was a stain on their family and ignored him.

Xiao Jiangzhi managed to survive the bullying.

Wensi, who had not yet become an immortal at that time, was responsible for recruiting disciples for the Xuanling Sect.

Perhaps it was fate that she ran into Jiang Zhi, who had climbed over the wall and sneaked out from outside the Jiang family's door.

Seeing that the child was skinny and dirty, but his eyes were extremely determined, Wen Si stopped and asked Jiang Zhi's name and why he climbed over the wall.

Little Jiang Zhi looked at Wen Si in front of him and told him all his experiences.

After listening to Jiang Zhi's story, Wen Si felt very distressed and took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to leave.

"Will you come with me?"

"But I can't draw the energy into my body. I'm a loser, a bad boy."

Xiao Jiangzhi lowered his head, not daring to look at the ethereal Wensi in front of him.

The idea that had been instilled in him since childhood was that people who could not practice cultivation were useless and inherently inferior.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking for a long time, Jiang Zhi even felt that it was justified for him to be bullied.

But when Wen Si in front of him heard Jiang Zhi say this, he squatted down and spoke to the little Jiang Zhi in a very gentle manner.

“Don’t say that.

The inability to draw Qi into your body simply means that you are not good at this.

But maybe you have other talents.

What's more, what if you are not good at anything?

Just have good thoughts and don't do bad things.

Then you are a good kid.”

Wensi's words relieved Xiao Jiangzhi's worries.

Wen Si smiled gently and extended his hand to Xiao Jiangzhi.

“Then I’ll ask again.

Child, will you come with me?"

This time Jiang Zhi put his hand on Wen Si's hand.

After that day, Wensi brought Jiang Zhi back to Xuanling Sect.

Wensi did not forcefully teach Jiang Zhi anything, but let him explore on his own.

In this way, Jiang Zhi’s extraordinary talent for taming animals was discovered.

Jiang Zhi can communicate with these spirit beasts without any obstacles.

And Jiang Zhi never treated them as vassals, but as independent individuals.

Over time, these spirit beasts took the initiative to submit to him and even proposed to sign a master-servant contract with him to share their lifespan.

Jiang Zhi has no spiritual power but is able to contract spiritual beasts, so he was not well-known at the beginning.

Others are also very Buddhist and don't force things. If they get along well, they'll sign a contract. If not, forget it.

As he contracted more and more spirit beasts and their levels became higher and higher, his deeds became known to many people.

Jiang Zhi didn't have any spiritual power, but he was able to contract so many spiritual beasts. His reputation quickly spread.

But after becoming famous, troubles also followed.

The family that had originally abandoned Jiang Zhi now felt that Jiang Zhi was useful and wanted to take him back.

At that time, Jiang Zhi refused to become Wensi's disciple because of his special status and fear of causing trouble to Wensi.

Therefore, the Jiang family’s proposal seems reasonable, but in fact it is arrogant.

By that time, Jiang Zhi was already able to support himself.

In order not to affect Wensi, who was just becoming famous, and his new apprentice, Jiang Zhi took the initiative to leave Xuanling Sect with his contracted spirit beast and left a letter for Wensi.

He said it was his own choice and hoped Wensi would not come to him.

But despite leaving the Xuanling Sect, Jiang Zhi did not return to the Jiang family. Instead, he opened a small shop and used his talent to tame those unruly spirit beasts and small animals.

The Jiang family felt that they were provoked by this.

After all, they took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Jiang Zhi, a loser, and Jiang Zhi actually dared to reject them.

The Jiang family began to spread rumors that Jiang Zhi was a monster and that his eyes could attract unclean things.

This move was intended to disrupt Jiang Zhi's business, leaving Jiang Zhi with no choice but to return to the Jiang family.

This move was indeed useful, and some people who had no cultivation really did not dare to come again.

But those monks did come as planned.

After all, they are not afraid of such things.

Under Wensi's guidance, Jiang Zhi didn't care about such rumors.

When the Jiang family's plan failed, they came up with another one. They came up with the idea of ​​killing all the spirit beasts that Jiang Zhi had contracted, hoping to teach Jiang Zhi a lesson.

Let Jiang Zhi understand that even if he has talent now, it doesn’t matter, they can still kill him with one hand.
