Chapter 729 - 727: The Sect Master’s Useless Daughter (Part 1)
"Senior Brother Jin, how is Junior Sister Jin?" Fu Yue saw the woman dressed in simple clothes sitting cross-legged not far away, her eyes closed, looking incredibly pale, and his face was full of worry.
Jin Congmo circulated his spiritual power to wipe the sweat off his forehead and glanced at the people present: "She’s already okay, but she needs to recuperate for a while."
The people present all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Thankfully she’s okay. If something had happened to Junior Sister Jin, what would we have done?" Liu Yao’s gaze fell on a certain figure on the other side, her tone somewhat blaming, "Junior Sister, since you came to train, can you listen to Senior Brother Jin’s command? Don’t touch unknown things randomly. If not for Junior Sister Jin saving you this time, would she have been attacked by the Bee King? Fortunately, there was no threat to her life."
As soon as she said this, Fu Yue also looked at that figure, his face showing some impatience and disgust.
"Junior Sister, if you want to train in peace, follow the instructions. This isn’t the sect; the training journey is full of dangers, and being a little careless could cost us our lives. This time it’s Junior Sister Jin, next time it’s uncertain who else might be affected."
"Alright, training naturally involves danger; Junior Sister Pei didn’t mean for this to happen." Jin Congmo spoke lightly, "Earlier it was too dangerous; it wasn’t intentional by Junior Sister Pei, and Congshuang saving was voluntary. If anyone is in danger, she would help rescue them."
"However, Junior Sister Pei, you must remember that in such a perilous place, whatever you do should be mindful, to avoid encountering similar risks next time when we might not react in time, not knowing what to do then."
Since Jin Congmo spoke like this, Fu Yue and Liu Yao stopped saying more, just gazing at that drooping figure still showed some dissatisfaction.
After a while, seeing her still silent, Fu Yue couldn’t resist anymore, walked to her side: "Junior Sister Jin got injured for you, Junior Sister, can’t you say something? At least say thank you?"
At this time, the person with drooping eyes finally raised her head.
Ah Chen quickly reviewed her memory, looking directly at the young man standing in front of her, she finally spoke: "Fourth Brother, is it really alright to disturb her now?"
Her gaze turned to Jin Congshuang’s location, where the other was still recovering amid the array.
Fu Yue seemed to come back to himself, the brief flash of anger on his face faded, and he didn’t say more.
"Junior Sister, don’t blame me for speaking frankly; training outside is indeed not as safe as within the sect. Inside the sect, there’s no danger, and you being the Sect Master’s daughter have your master there; no one can bully you. But we’re outside now, you should temper your personality regardless of how willful you might be; one wrong move could cost lives, possibly affecting everyone." Liu Yao’s words flew fast, appearing straightforward.
Ah Chen spoke with a bit of willfulness and displeasure: "I’ve already mentioned, you can just ignore me. With the magic treasures and life-saving measures given by my mother, nothing will happen." She glanced at Jin Congshuang, who was still recovering, "Next time something like this happens, worry about yourselves; even if the Bee King’s attack landed on me, nothing would happen."
If otherwise, how could the commissioner’s mother not be worried at all after she sneaked out?
Because the other party devoted all her thoughts to her daughter, piling various life-saving magic treasures on her, even such a powerful entity would find it hard to harm the commissioner at once.
If there was truly a threat to life, Pei Feixue could even use a secret technique to quickly reach her.
"Junior Sister, the outside isn’t as simple as you think! If you have an accident, who knows how sad your master would be." Liu Yao was a bit angry, "Since you’re here, how can we not care about you? Are you saying Junior Sister Jin helped you block the attack and was wrong to help? You’re truly..."
"Thinking back, we should have let Senior Brother Jin refuse you back then, send word to the sect, and have the master arrange for someone to bring you back. Look, it hasn’t been long and such a thing happened." Liu Yao sighed, "If you truly had an accident, even if the master is understanding, we wouldn’t be able to explain ourselves. You know your situation, don’t you?"
Liu Yao hesitated, everyone knowing the Sect Master’s daughter of the Silver Moon Sect is a natural wastrel with a defect in her Heavenly Spirit Root; although she’s already in the Foundation Establishment stage, this early stage was merely built through all the means by the Sect Master.
If the naturally flawed spirit root isn’t fully mended, there’s never a chance for Core Formation.
Due to this, the master and her husband essentially pamper their only daughter, inevitably raising her character to be a bit proud and willful.
So many resources piled on this wastrel, Ah Chen, might as well be given to the Senior Brother.
After all, the Senior Brother possesses a Heavenly Spirit Root; with such resources, who knows how high his cultivation could be.
"I didn’t say Junior Sister Jin was wrong to help me block the attack," Ah Chen spoke, "Fifth Sister, don’t misinterpret me, regardless, Junior Sister Jin had good intentions."
Those "good intentions" were questionable.
Subtly targeting the commissioner, trying to take everything away; the commissioner didn’t even know what grudge existed between her and Jin Congshuang.
She’s someone raised in the palm of her parents’ hands; proud, willful, with a bad temper, but not a bad person, and shouldn’t have life-and-death grudges with anyone.
So until her death, she never comprehended why Jin Congshuang plotted against her.
From their interactions, Jin Congshuang seemed genuinely decent to those familiar, sincere, and of commendable character. Though not outstandingly talented, her True Spirit Root, with water, wood, and metal, wasn’t among the best.
However, she trained diligently, with an indomitable spirit, never harboring jealousy against those with better talent, always maintaining her original heart.
Even if the commissioner held pride and was unaccustomed to praise, she genuinely admired Jin Congshuang.
So impressed by Jin Congshuang’s performance, she didn’t succumb to her own talent so easily.
Unfortunately, she died before achieving any results in cultivation, falling into Jin Congshuang’s scheme.
Had she not seen the calculative gaze when dying, she wouldn’t have realized Jin Congshuang was taking everything around her.
Her death played back all her life’s experiences, making her aware that after the Jin Family siblings appeared, her reputation declined rapidly. From a somewhat willful but cute and innocent Junior Sister to a spoiled, unreasonable, and ill-intentioned person.
Due to her talent, she felt inferior, unwilling, lamenting the fate’s arrangement.
Due to her status, she held pride.
Facing doubts and rejection, she felt aggrieved and suffocated, unwilling to speak and explain more to them.
Sadly, she lacked the corresponding cultivation; all glory just came from her mother, Silver Moon Sect’s Sect Master Pei Feixue.
Unknown to many, jealousy brewed secretly, dissatisfaction that she, a wastrel, could have such a worthy start and resources.
Naturally, her reputation deteriorated quickly.
Even Pei Feixue remained helpless, having no solution other than ensuring her daughter’s happiness for hundreds of years.
Ah Chen took out a bottle of elixir, walked to Jin Congmo: "Senior Brother Jin, give this elixir to Junior Sister Jin for treatment; she can recover quickly."
No matter if Jin Congmo agreed, she directly shoved the medicine bottle into his hand, turning to return to her original place to sit.
The commissioner indeed sneaked out, especially following Jin Congmo for training.
However, her thoughts about Jin Congmo were never shown to anyone.
On the outside, she appeared very curious and wanted to follow to observe, even having more interactions with Jin Congshuang, but if observed closely, one could notice more.
Precisely because of the talent issue, she felt inferior, knowing well that nothing might come of her and Jin Congmo.
