Male supporting role is not a stepping stone
Chapter 44: Xianmen Senior Brother 4 (1/2)
Yang Yan's injuries were just superficial ones. After returning to the sect, he took medicine and recovered quickly. Thinking of the deep affection Sheng Zhuxuan had for the original owner in the book, he thought it would not be good to let it go. After recovering, he found the head master and proposed to cancel the engagement.
Zhuang Jingfu had always doted on this disciple, but he was furious after hearing about this. He scolded: "Cultivating immortals starts with cultivating the mind. What did your master teach you? How can you do such a treacherous thing after a little achievement?"
He was really angry. His snow-white beard and long eyebrows that reached his cheeks were all scattered, showing what it means to blow your beard and glare.
"Master misunderstood me," Yang Yan explained quickly, "I want to cancel the engagement because I am devoted to cultivation and have no mood for love. I don't want to delay my junior sister, so I want to cancel the engagement."
"Are you telling the truth?" Zhuang Jingfu looked at him inquiringly.
"It couldn't be more true," Yang Yan raised his right palm and said, "If Master doesn't believe it, I can swear the Heart Demon Oath now."
"How can I swear the Heart Demon Oath casually?" Zhuang Jingfu frowned and scolded, "Do you hate your junior sister because of Zhang Zimo?"
He said unhappily: "Although this matter has something to do with her, it is not her fault after all. How can a man be so narrow-minded?"
It turned out that Sheng Zhuxuan was uneasy, and after returning, she told her father that Zhang Zimo was obsessed with her and repeatedly said bad things about the senior brother.
Sheng Hongzhen was shocked when he knew it, and hurriedly brought her to the head of the sect to apologize, so he asked this question.
"How could this happen?" Yang Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Master, don't you understand my personality? I am really focused on cultivation and don't want to be distracted by worldly feelings."
"Even if you get married, it won't affect your cultivation," Zhuang Jingfu had already believed his words in his heart, but he still persuaded him earnestly, "Xuan'er is a sensible child, she can understand."
"Master, I have made up my mind," Yang Yan still shook his head, then knelt on his knees, "Please help me, Master."
Zhuang Jingfu did not give up and persuaded him several times. Seeing that he was still unmoved, he finally agreed reluctantly: "I just hope you don't regret it in the future."
"Master, don't worry," Yang Yan said firmly, "Disciple has thought it through."
Zhuang Jingfu could only go to the elder Sheng Hongzhen to talk about the cancellation of the engagement. It is unknown what the two talked about specifically. Although Sheng Hongzhen was very unhappy, he agreed.
The engagement between the two was made when they were young, and almost everyone in Donghe Sect knew about it. Now that it was suddenly cancelled, many disciples did not understand, and some even came to him to defend the little junior sister.
Yang Yan naturally explained to those who asked politely that he was too focused on cultivation to have the heart to love, and gave those who were rude and provocative a good beating, and gradually no one came to stand up.
However, after this incident, his reputation was damaged a little. After all, he just promoted to Jindan and cancelled the engagement. The timing was too coincidental to make people think less. Many people in the sect said that he looked down on the little junior sister because of his promotion.
Sheng Zhuxuan originally cried bitterly after the engagement was cancelled and gave up that idea. She never came to him again, because she felt guilty about Zhang Zimo and had no face to ask him for an explanation.
But she couldn't sit still after hearing those rumors. Although she was sad that the senior brother firmly broke off the engagement with her, she still loved him deeply in her heart, and she also knew the character of the senior brother. Seeing him being slandered, she felt more uncomfortable than when the engagement was broken off.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, it's all because of me that you are misunderstood. I have explained it to everyone, but although they believe it on the surface, they are still spreading rumors behind their backs." Sheng Zhuxuan was so sad that she almost cried.
She didn't understand what was going on. She had clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter, but the senior brothers and sisters still looked like she was wronged.
"You don't need to do this. I'm sorry for you." Yang Yan looked at her with a complicated look. This child could see that she was sincere based on his experience of two lives.
But she didn't know that the reason why rumors become rumors is because those who spread the rumors only believe what they believe. Sometimes, even if they put real evidence in front of them, they will be suspected of being forged.
Moreover, it was a fact that he broke off the engagement on his own, and it was also a fact that he had just been promoted. But it would take time to prove the reason why he would break off the engagement.
He felt a little sorry for the original owner. This was indeed a good girl. After being hurt, she did not feel any resentment towards him, but instead worked for his reputation. If it were not for Zhang Zimo's interference, the two of them should have lived happily, right?
"You are not sorry for me," Sheng Zhuxuan said hurriedly, "It is me, I am sorry for you. If it were not for me, Zhang Zimo would not want to hurt you."
"This is a personal character problem. You should not take the blame on yourself." Yang Yan saw her face full of shame and comforted her, "I see that there are still many junior brothers in the sect who love you, and I don't see them hate me because of this."
Sheng Zhuxuan never expected him to say such a thing. Her cheeks flushed immediately, and she said with some anger: "Big Brother, why do you say that?"
"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Yang Yan said with a smile, "I say this to tell you, don't blame yourself for the mistakes of others. After all, everyone is an independent individual, and decisions are made He did it himself, and he should be held responsible for his mistakes.”
"Is that so?" Sheng Zhuxuan tasted his words carefully, lowering her head in thought.
"That's right, just like me now, the decision to break off the engagement was made by myself," Yang Yan said, "Whether it's the strange views of my junior brothers and sisters on me, or whether you want to blame me, all of them I have to take responsibility for everything, and I can’t blame anyone else.”
"I don't blame you," Sheng Zhuxuan said anxiously, "Elder brother, I know that I am not worthy of you..."
"I hope you don't think like that, Junior Sister Xuan, you are worthy of anyone," Yang Yan looked at her seriously and said, "I only focused on cultivation and let down your feelings."
Sheng Zhuxuan was moved by his sincere eyes and couldn't help but nodded. At the same time, she felt relieved. Those infatuated loves, those inferiorities, and guilt...
All her emotions relaxed a lot at this moment, and she seemed to understand what her senior brother was thinking.
"Also, I don't care about those rumors, and you don't need to care either, well -" Yang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If you have so much time, it's better to focus on cultivation. I promised you to wait until you return to the sect. Let me share some of your experiences to help you build a foundation as soon as possible, so let’s start now!”
Huh? Senior brother, why did your topic suddenly jump to asking me to practice cultivation?
So he really didn't look down on himself, but he really only focused on cultivation, right?
At this time, all the sadness, guilt, lovelorn, etc. disappeared from Sheng Zhuxuan's mind. The words "cultivation madman" were all on the screen.
After that, the two of them began to practice seriously. Yang Yan asked her to run the exercises, and he put in a small ray of true energy and followed her movement route. He quickly improved the operation method for her and asked her to try it.
This was also because Sheng Zhuxuan had absolute trust in him, so she could do it smoothly. As long as she had a trace of doubt in her heart, she would not let other people's energy enter her meridians.
After her senior brother led her to re-run the new exercise route several times, she firmly memorized it. When she tried it again, she soon discovered that she could absorb more spiritual energy now than before. Moreover, the exercise is faster and more effective.
Unknowingly, Sheng Zhuxuan's whole mind was immersed in her cultivation. She didn't notice it, but Yang Yan, the headmaster and the two elders who sensed the strange movement and rushed over quickly found it.
The spiritual energy in the air was absorbed by her like a whale consuming it. The amount and speed reached a level that was terrifying, and even the Golden Core Stage monks like them couldn't do it.
If they could be like this, why would their promotion speed be as fast as a snail's crawl, with every step being extremely difficult?
"Yan'er, what's going on?" Zhuang Jingfu looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. He didn't dare to disturb Sheng Zhuxuan who was obviously practicing his skills. He could only ask his disciples who were here before them.
"Master, after this promotion, my disciple has gained some experience. It happened that the younger junior sister came over, so I consulted with her and helped her improve the method of doing the exercises." Yang Yan told the truth.
Now he is the only one in the entire sect who knows how big a crisis they are facing. It's not that he refuses to tell his master and elders, but he knows that even if he tells them, they won't believe it.
A five-spirited young disciple who has only reached the seventh level of qi training has no idea whether he can successfully build the foundation in this life. How can they be on guard?
So he can only think of ways to improve the strength of the entire sect, and then see if he can find another place to move to. It's not that he is afraid of the male protagonist and wants to escape, but the spiritual energy here is relatively thin and not very Conducive to continuing to practice.
"What?" Without waiting for Zhuang Jingfu's reaction, Sheng Hongzhen quit first, "You actually used my daughter for experiments? If she is good or bad, it doesn't matter whether you are the leader's beloved disciple or not, how good is your future? I can’t spare you for the first time!”
He was initially quite critical of Yang Yan's insistence on breaking off the engagement. If the headmaster hadn't been persuading him, saying that he had already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core at a young age and was dedicated to the great road, he would definitely be able to carry forward the sect in the future.
He would not suppress his displeasure and reluctantly endured the humiliation he inflicted on his daughter without looking for trouble.
Now he is so bold and hastily handed over the technique that he had made without knowing whether it had any hidden dangers to his daughter to practice.
You know, he has been waiting for almost two hundred years to have such a precious daughter! On weekdays, it was too late to give her pain and pampering, but she had been wronged at the hands of a junior, and now she was in an even greater crisis.
If he was killed today, he would not care about his master's last wish or the future of the sect. Even if he risked his life, he would drag him into the underworld with him!
"Uncle, don't be anxious," Yang Yan saw that he had a big disagreement and stepped forward to fight for his life, and said hurriedly, "I myself also used improved techniques, so that I can successfully form the elixir. Why don't you wait for a while, uncle?" Junior sister will take a look at the results after finishing her work, and then it won’t be too late to question her nephew.”
The Donghe Sect was originally created by the masters of Zhuang Jingfu and Sheng Hongzhen, so he called it that. Among the three Jindan monks in the sect, only Song Qinxin was in trouble during the foundation building period and joined after being taken in.
Although Zhuang Jingfu was not sure whether there would be any problems, he could only stand on his apprentice's side and help speak. Sheng Hongzhen was still willing to give some face to his senior brother, and was finally persuaded and appeased by him. He patiently waited for the results from his daughter before making plans.
Sheng Zhuxuan was unaware of all this. She was already immersed in a very mysterious feeling. The feeling of this spiritual energy quickly flowing into her body was so wonderful that she didn't want to stop at all.
She greedily absorbed the spiritual energy, like a dry fish encountering water. Soon the meridians in her body were filled, and the dantian was swollen as if it was about to explode.
She suddenly woke up from that wonderful feeling and was a little panicked for a while, but at this moment, the voice of the senior brother suddenly rang in her ears.
Sheng Zhuxuan hurriedly collected her mind and guided the spiritual energy to flush the meridians and expand the dantian according to his teachings.
This process was very boring, but she enjoyed it very much, because she could clearly feel that with the flushing of spiritual power, her meridians were getting wider little by little, and her dantian was slowly getting bigger.
I don’t know how long it took, and finally she seemed to hear some breaking sounds, and her dantian suddenly expanded more than ten times, and a large amount of spiritual energy poured in.
This time, she didn’t need anyone to remind her, she knew what happened in her heart, she succeeded in building the foundation!
A wave of ecstasy surged in her heart, but Sheng Zhuxuan still patiently spent some time to consolidate her cultivation, and then stood up excitedly.
“Thank you for your guidance, senior brother,” she stepped forward and bowed, “I have successfully built the foundation.”
Yang Yan nodded slightly, and before he could say anything, Sheng Hongzhen had already rushed over to stand between them.
“Xuan’er, how do you feel?” He anxiously pulled his daughter’s hand, “Let your father check it out to see if there are any hidden dangers left.”
“Daddy?” Sheng Zhuxuan was a little confused, why was her father here? Why was he so worried and anxious? Shouldn't he be happy that he had established his foundation?
However, seeing her father's anxious look, she let him inject a stream of true energy into her forearm and let go of her defense to let him check.
Sheng Hongzhen carefully controlled the true energy to flow through his daughter's meridians, but after a circle, he did not find anything abnormal. On the contrary, her cultivation was stable, and her meridians and dantian were wider than those of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
