Chapter 51: Helpless Zhou Junyi

The two of them walked hand in hand into the crowd, and Zhou Junyi naturally spotted them at first glance.

His eyes widened in anger as he roared, "You shameless couple, how dare you come here!"

"Chen Xiaoman, you bitch, I'll kill you--"

He shouted with all his might, biting his lips until they bled, showing just how intense his hatred was.

The scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone couldn't help but curiously look towards Chen Xiaoman.

Chen Xiaoman lowered her head in embarrassment, but after Wang Ming encouraged her a few words, she raised her head again.

She walked firmly towards Zhou Junyi.

As Zhou Junyi saw her approaching, his anger grew stronger. He struggled to break free from the shackles on his body, kicking his legs wildly, trying to kick this adulteress in front of him to death.

"Chen Xiaoman, I'll kill you!"

"Behave!" A disciple from the Punishment Hall next to him slapped him hard, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth. He became dizzy and finally quieted down.

Chen Xiaoman couldn't help but feel a bit sorry as she approached him. "Senior brother, are you... alright?"

"Spit!" Zhou Junyi spat a mouthful of blood on Chen Xiaoman's face and body, roaring, "Bitch, you came to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

"Just wait, in the future, I will definitely tear you and your adulterer into pieces!"

Chen Xiaoman's nose tingled. She never expected that the two of them, who were once inseparable, would become bitter enemies. It was truly heart-wrenching.

But at this moment, she had already gained some understanding and was no longer the naive girl she used to be.

The path of cultivation inevitably involved many separations and farewells.

Whether it was family, friends, or the most intimate lover, if they couldn't walk the same path, they would eventually part ways.

In order to pursue her own path, she had to let go of some seemingly important things.

At first, she did value this relationship a lot, thinking that even if she couldn't become immortal and live forever, it would be nice to spend her life with her loved one.

But later on, she gradually changed. Now she realized that compared to immortality, these petty emotions and loves were not worth mentioning.

Calming her mood, she said expressionlessly, "Senior brother, I know you must hate me now."

"I did indeed let you down."

"But on that day, you should have noticed the situation. I really couldn't control my desires."

"And you happened to have something to attend to in the sect, which led to the subsequent series of events."

"Perhaps it was also fate."

"And later, when I was about to be consumed by desire and die, thanks to Senior Brother Wang saving me, otherwise I would have died long ago."

"At first, I thought it was just poisoning, but later I realized that it was my true nature."

"Senior brother, the two of us are destined to never be together. Let's part ways here. I hope you take care of yourself."

She took off the storage bag Zhou Junyi had given her from her waist and placed it on the nearby wooden table.

"There are a thousand spirit stones inside, as well as some pills and talismans, more than twice what you've given me over the years. Consider it compensation."

After saying that, she turned and left, feeling much lighter in her heart. She held her head high, her expression calm.

She didn't care at all about the whispers and pointing from the people around her, completely different from before.

She walked to Wang Ming's side, took his arm, and smiled, "Senior brother, I seem to have gained some insights. Please help me break through."

Wang Ming nodded with a smile, waved goodbye to Zhou Junyi, and then left with Chen Xiaoman.

"Beast! Beast!" Zhou Junyi shouted with a red face, and in the end, he burst into loud sobs.

Some of the onlookers even sympathized with him, feeling that he was truly pitiful.

But some of the spirit farmers in the crowd cursed him, saying that he deserved it. Who didn't know how arrogant he was when collecting Spirit Rice?

After a flogging, Zhou Junyi had already passed out, with not a single part of his body left unharmed.

There is a large amount of bleeding, and even a pool of blood has formed under his feet.

Several disciples of the Chixiao Peak, dressed in red cloud-patterned robes, rushed forward to take him down from the pillar after the execution was over, and fed him a pill.

Zhou Junyi's injuries were visibly healing at a rapid pace, and he gradually regained consciousness.

At this point, the onlookers had already dispersed, and in the distance, in the direction of the inner gate, there was a male cultivator wearing a red cloud-patterned robe, flying down on a giant feather fan.

After landing, he shrank the feather fan and put it into a storage ring.

Chu Ming noticed that the newcomer bore some resemblance to Zhou Junyi, but with a more mature appearance, and guessed that this should be Zhou Junyi's older brother, Zhou Junyang.

Zhou Junyang exchanged greetings with the Punishment Hall steward, and the steward led the other disciples into a nearby hall.

Under his arrangement, the other Chixiao Peak disciples also left first, leaving only him and his brother alone.

He led Zhou Junyi to a corner, and Zhou Junyi grabbed his hand, choked up and said, "Brother, avenge me, I want them all dead!"

Zhou Junyang sighed and patted his hand to comfort him, saying, "Xiaoyi, we will definitely seek revenge, but not now."

"I could have helped you get justice in this matter."

"But unfortunately, you were too impulsive and seriously violated the rules of the sect. Now we are completely on the defensive, and we are the ones at fault."

"And I didn't expect that Elegant Jade Peak would have a grandchild of a Punishment Hall elder. Their background is too strong, and for now, we can't afford to provoke them."

"Any suspicious behavior on our part can be used against us by leveraging the power of the Punishment Hall."

"Xiaoyi, let's endure it for now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Zhou Junyi was annoyed and shouted discontentedly, "Am I just going to continue being a green turtle?"

"Ah..." Zhou Junyang turned around and sighed.

"Yesterday, when you used the sound transmission talisman to summon me, I was in a critical moment of breaking through the Foundation Building stage."

"In a moment of distraction, I failed to break through Foundation Building."

"Master was furious and asked me to handle your affairs today, and not to cause trouble."

"After I return, I will have to seclude myself for cultivation and not leave for three years."

Zhou Junyi complained with a choked voice, "Are you planning to abandon me like this?"

Zhou Junyang lowered his head and sighed helplessly, "Ah, Xiaoyi, I also have my own path to cultivate, and moreover, I cannot go against the orders of our master. I can't just focus on you."

"Even if I defy the master's orders, with my current strength, what can I do to help you?"

"If you can't bear this injustice, why not go back to the mortal world and live as a young master, spending your life with an ordinary woman?"

"If you can endure it, then continue to persevere."

"So what if you're a green turtle? Do you know how many hardships and humiliations those senior experts in the sect have experienced along their cultivation journey?"

"Cultivation is not as simple as love and romance. Life and death are common occurrences. What does a little humiliation matter?"

"Be strong, this may just be a test on your cultivation path."

However, Zhou Junyi couldn't bear to listen anymore and kept blaming his brother for only thinking about himself.

Zhou Junyang shook his head helplessly, "Ah, that's enough talking. Take care of yourself."

"I have taken care of the hard labor for you. If you can't bear any grievances, behave well, and you should be free in three years."

"If you don't want to continue cultivating after coming out, then go back to the mortal world. I will help you seek revenge."

After saying that, he flew away on the feather fan, heading towards the Chixiao Peak of the inner gate.

Zhou Junyi, on the other hand, was so angry that he cursed at his brother's back and vomited blood in anger.

"You... just wait for me! I swear I won't rest until I have avenged this!"

"Snap!"

"Stop acting crazy here!" The Punishment Hall steward walked out and slapped him on the head.

Then he arranged for two Punishment Hall disciples to escort him back to the dungeon and deal with him accordingly.
