Each disciple is not simple

Soon, Shen Wuzhi, who had devoted himself to studying elixirs, finally returned after completing his studies.

Several years of studying abroad made him look more old-fashioned and serious. Even his father Shen Hanguang couldn't stand his rigid look.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that Shen Wuzhi is still that senior brother-con.

When he returned from his studies and learned that Mingjia and Shen Xuanzhi were together, he was devastated!

Every time he saw Mingjia, his eyes were filled with bitterness and hatred.

In his eyes, his perfect brother should be the only one who can be beautiful, and then shock the world with one sword like their father did!

As the strongest support behind his brother, he guarded the rear and treated his brother's illness and injuries.

Even though Shen Xuanzhi had talked with him all night, he still couldn't treat Mingjia well.

But he didn't expect that there would be another person harassing his perfect brother.

No one expected Qu Hongxiao to suddenly confess her feelings to Shen Xuanzhi.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mingjia.

Mingjia must be very sad to be backstabbed by her own little sister, right?

But the reality was that Mingjia not only did not look sad, but she looked at Shen Xuanzhi's miserable face as he was entangled by Qu Hongxiao with great interest.

Shen Xuanzhi secretly blamed himself for being so nosy and telling Qu Hongxiao about Mingjia's suspicion, which made Qu Hongxiao give up and pretend to be in love with him in front of Mingjia.

Who would understand? My love rival pretends to like me. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and I feel sick!

Qu Hongxiao, contrary to her usual behavior, began to compete with Mingjia, trying to see who was better in everything.

But Qu Hongxiao is still a little crybaby. She cries when she loses the argument, and cries when she wins the argument because she thinks Mingjia is giving in to her.

Mingjia could only accept the little girl's awkwardness and coax her at the same time.

At this point, what should have been a relationship between two people had an additional person, Qu Hongxiao, who made both parties helpless.

No, in fact, there is another person named Shen Wuzhi who is always watching the three of them secretly in a small corner.

Chi Yan couldn't stand Shen Wuzhi's behavior.

In his opinion, since he was uncomfortable, everyone would be uncomfortable too.

He would not hide away and be sad in silence.

It's really depressing to have my consciousness awakened in Shen Wuzhi's body!

But there was no way, he couldn't control Shen Wuzhi's words and actions, otherwise he would have done something to make himself happy.

However, during the time he was in Shen Wuzhi's body, he had been thinking about what the purpose of this formation was.

Should he observe Mingjia's first half of life as a participant? Or should he test their understanding of Mingjia? Or should he make a decision at an important juncture?

Also, he is in Shen Wuzhi's body, so where are the other three people?

Oh! Right! It can’t be said that he didn’t know the whereabouts of the other three people. At least he knew who Su Tianyue was with.

He had figured out early on that the stupid guy that Su Tianyue was with was Qu Hongxiao.

The Qu Hongxiao he knew was not as joyful as she was, and she was not willing to cry.

No one knew why Su Tianyue had gained control of Qu Hongxiao's body, and he couldn't just go up to her and ask her.

After all, Xuan Ji had reminded them when they came that they should think twice before doing anything, otherwise not only would they fail to rescue Ming Jia, but it would also be difficult for them to get out of the formation.

Shen Wuzhi's identity as a shadowy observer is actually very suitable for him. He won't be too close to them, but he won't be separated from the main characters.

“…Second Brother!”

Mingjia's call suddenly brought Chiyan back from deep thought.

Shen Wuzhi didn't expect that he was hiding well, but was still discovered by Mingjia.

He was caught off guard and met Mingjia's smiling eyes. He tried to look past her, but then felt that it was impolite to do so. In the end, he walked out stiffly and nodded slightly to Mingjia.

Mingjia herself has a somewhat naughty personality, and all the senior brothers and sisters in Chijian Peak pamper her. Only Shen Wuzhi is willing to put on a stern face and is not approachable at all.

Because of this, Mingjia also likes to tease her second senior brother more.

She picked up a small and exquisite dessert and stuffed it directly into Shen Wuzhi's mouth with a nimble hand, with a malicious smile on her face. "Second Brother, this is a truth pill! Those who eat it can only tell the truth and cannot tell lies!"

Shen Wuzhi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to spit it out.

Unexpectedly, Mingjia immediately added, "But the pastries wrapped in this package were made by Senior Brother himself!"

Shen Wuzhi was at a loss as to whether to spit it out or swallow it, and his face was filled with confusion.

Seeing her like this, Mingjia finally smiled as if he had succeeded in playing a prank.

Seeing Mingjia smiling like that, how could Shen Wuzhi not know that he was being fooled by Mingjia? He was suddenly very angry.

Just as he was about to explode, Mingjia laughed and said, "Second Brother, don't always act like an old man. Happiness, anger, sadness, and joy are all normal human reactions!"

The anger on Shen Wuzhi's face froze.

"I know you've never liked me since we were little."

Shen Wuzhi looked at Mingjia stiffly, and Mingjia also looked at him honestly.

"Master's wife passed away early, and Master was very busy, so you and Senior Brother grew up supporting each other. My sudden appearance distracted Master and Senior Brother from the care and love they should have given you."

When she was picked up by her master, Shen Wuzhi was not very old and was at the age where she needed care.

Her existence caused Shen Wuzhi to be somewhat ignored.

When she was a child, she could often feel the longing in Shen Wuzhi's eyes. Later, he became more and more secretive, and finally even went down the mountain to gain experience as a traveling doctor.

"I have always felt sorry for you." Mingjia's face no longer had the usual cynical smile, but instead was filled with guilt from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Wuzhi suddenly felt even more uncomfortable after being hit in the heart. "You think too much. You are my junior sister, so it is only natural for my brother to take care of you."

"No, this is not right." Mingjia shook his head, "Second Brother, why are you never willing to express your inner thoughts directly?"

"You can express your demands, you can express your dissatisfaction with me. You can tell the eldest brother that you want him to pay more attention to you. Just like I played a prank on you just now and you wanted to get angry."

Through Shen Wuzhi's eyes, Chi Yan also examined Ming Jia for the first time.

Both he and Shen Wuzhi could clearly see that Mingjia really hoped that he could live a more relaxed and comfortable life.

"Second Brother, I hope you can live out your true self."

Chi Yan's body shook and he subconsciously avoided Ming Jia's sincere eyes.

For some reason, Mingjia seemed to be speaking to himself.

Shen Wuzhi also fell silent.

After a moment, he said in a very soft but very clear voice, "Mingjia, I still don't like you."

The hated Mingjia suddenly smiled.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, you still have to call me sister-in-law from now on!"
