The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Unsure how to judge, Yue Lin seized on Ye Danxia’s words like a lifeline, quickly demanding: “Yun Jin, how do you explain this? Gu Jinghong is already dangerous. If you use him to act recklessly, sect rules certainly won’t spare you.”

“Sect rules?” Yun Jin laughed. “Ye Danxia’s case has irrefutable evidence, yet you don’t dare mention sect rules. But for me, you keep invoking them. These sect rules have long been a joke.”

Yue Lin grew irritated. “Regardless, you must explain these two incidents clearly.”

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow. “What’s there to explain? Are those five Senior Brothers here? Let them come and confront me directly.”

Yue Lin hastily spoke to his subordinates.

Soon, Disciplinary Hall disciples brought the five disciples forward.

These five were inwardly distraught.

They were from various peaks, including the Sect Leader’s faction, but naturally leaned towards the Sect Leader’s side. Otherwise, Ruan Jun wouldn’t have sought them out before.

But the problem was, they didn’t dare offend the vindictive Yun Jin either!

“Come, tell us what Gu Jinghong had you do when he found you,” Yun Jin asked.

Gu Jinghong looked up, giving the five a cool glance.

The five instinctively shuddered.

One carefully said, “He… he just had us practice our sword techniques a hundred times.”

“Nothing else?” Ye Danxia couldn’t help asking. “Like physically harming you?”

Her words were too suggestive.

As the five disciples hesitated, they saw Yun Jin toying with a recording stone.

Their hearts jolted.

Could there have been a recording stone then too?

They didn’t want to be looped endlessly!

They could only answer honestly: “No, he just supervised our sword practice.”

“That must have been a cover. His real goal was surely revenge! Otherwise, why would he just watch sword practice?” Ye Danxia pressed.

“Since when did supervising sword practice become revenge?” Yun Jin raised an eyebrow. “I just found the Senior Brothers’ sword techniques interesting and wanted to see more, so I had Gu Jinghong record them for me. Is that a problem?”

Gu Jinghong glanced at Yun Jin. She hadn’t actually asked him to record anything or watch separately.

But he quickly lowered his head, saying nothing.

“You… you’re coercing them! And who would have such a strange hobby? If you like sword techniques so much, why don’t you practice them yourself! Haven’t you already memorized their techniques?” Ye Danxia gritted her teeth.

She didn’t know what fate awaited her.

But no matter what, she wanted to drag Yun Jin down with her!

“Oh,” Yun Jin said casually. “You have no sword talent, so how would you understand a sword prodigy’s training methods? I get stronger just by watching. Is that not allowed? Besides, I hit it off with these five Senior Brothers. After receiving their gifts last time, I wanted to help them improve too.”

The five: “……”

What gifts?!

You forcibly took compensation from us!

But they still nodded repeatedly, just hoping this part involving them would end quickly.

“After careful observation, I noticed areas where you five need improvement. I’ve written them down for you to review yourselves,” Yun Jin said, casually tossing out five jade slips.

The five caught them somewhat bewilderedly.

They instinctively glanced at the contents, their eyes lighting up with joy.

Inside were… actual pointers addressing the weaknesses in their sword techniques. If they practiced accordingly, they could likely make great progress!

“You five haven’t done your hundred repetitions today, right? When this is over, I’ll have Gu Jinghong find you again. Still a hundred times, understood?” Yun Jin said flatly.

“Yes,” the five replied enthusiastically.

As soon as they answered, they suddenly felt something was off and glanced uneasily at the high platform.

Zhao Wuji sat there, his expression unreadable.

The disciples grew anxious.

This… this wasn’t their fault, right? Gu Jinghong forced them, they couldn’t refuse!

“Hall Master Yue, any other questions?” Yun Jin looked at Yue Lin.

Yue Lin, somewhat reluctantly, could only wave for the five to withdraw.

“What about the spirit fields?” Ye Danxia demanded through gritted teeth. “Weren’t you trying to have Gu Jinghong steal rare spirit herbs? He just didn’t get the chance because others were around!”

Yun Jin sneered, immediately saying: “Hall Master Yue, you heard that! She’s slandering me again in front of everyone! You must uphold justice for me. Gu Jinghong is still a disciple of the Sect Leader’s faction. Since when did visiting the spirit fields make him a thief?”

Gu Jinghong timely put on an aggrieved expression: “I never touched a single herb. Does Junior Sister Ye have evidence of my theft?”

Yue Lin: “……”

Before, Ye Danxia kept demanding evidence from them. Now Gu Jinghong was the one demanding evidence.

“What’s there to see in the spirit fields?” Ye Danxia was nearly frantic. “Do you dare say you didn’t order this? Do you dare say you had no ulterior motive?”

Yun Jin looked down at Ye Danxia, smiling. “Indeed, I did order Gu Jinghong to go to the spirit fields, and I did have another purpose.”

A flash of wild joy crossed Ye Danxia’s eyes. She shouted: “Everyone heard that! She admitted it! She admitted it herself!”

Yun Jin calmly said: “I sent Gu Jinghong to the spirit fields to learn some cultivation knowledge.”

Gu Jinghong: “???”

Wasn’t it to chat with spirit plants?

But.

Whatever the master says, goes.

Gu Jinghong nodded in agreement: “That was indeed the master’s order.”

“Why are you learning cultivation knowledge?” Yue Lin pressed. “You’re a sword cultivator, it should be useless to you!”

Yun Jin immediately looked aggrieved: “Prejudice! Hall Master Yue, that’s prejudice! I may be a sword cultivator, but can’t I have a heart that loves spirit plants? Can’t I want to learn cultivation knowledge?”

Yue Lin: “……”

Yun Jin continued rambling: “Everyone knows our Celestial Sword Peak has no plant cultivators, and a large area of spirit fields lies fallow. I just didn’t want to waste such good fields and wanted to learn some cultivation knowledge. Is that a problem?”

Remembering Celestial Sword Peak’s situation, everyone exchanged knowing looks.

The abandoned spirit fields there were indeed a shame, but it couldn’t be helped.

Firstly, Celestial Sword Peak lacked people. Secondly, plant cultivators were monopolized by the Sect Leader’s faction. Other peaks wanting to develop their fields had to rely on Zhao Wuji sending help. In return, they had to hand over most of their spirit plants to Zhao Wuji.

Given Celestial Sword Peak’s relationship with the Sect Leader, it would be strange if he was willing to send anyone.

Yun Jin probably had no choice but to try learning secretly.

Yue Lin felt helpless. It was impossible to convict Yun Jin like this – after all, she hadn’t really done anything.

Yue Lin opened his mouth to speak.

Suddenly, Yun Jin spoke again: “Since everyone’s here today! I have another matter to report by name! I’m reporting Sect Leader Zhao Wuji! I accuse him of monopolizing plant cultivation techniques and reaping massive profits from it! With all the sect’s wealth concentrated in one person’s hands, I ask everyone – is this Tianxing Sect for all of us, or just for him alone?”

As Yun Jin’s words fell, a terrifying silence gripped the hall.

Everyone stared at Yun Jin in horror.

This Yun Jin…

She was becoming more and more unhinged!
