Chapter 216: Admire each other but dislike each other?
Almost instinctively, Chu You made a lightning-fast move and pushed Jiang Xinbai against the other open door opposite, his words becoming incoherent:
"Ji, Ji Chen, don't misunderstand me and Jiang Xinbai, there's nothing!"
damn it!
At this moment, she really felt like her legal husband had discovered she was having an affair with another man.
Little did she know that her subconscious attempt to distance herself from the matter and her words against her will offended both men at the same time.
"What did you call me?
Ji Chen had just woken up, and his voice was a little hoarse. He was also very angry, so it was particularly deep.
His long, thick, black hair was also disheveled and tangled due to long periods of sleep.
It made him look like a wolf cub or a lion cub with its fur standing on end, and he was extremely difficult to mess with.
Chu You's heart was trembling, and his mind was in a mess.
Watching Ji Chen walking towards her step by step, Chu You's legs suddenly felt weak and she subconsciously held onto the door behind her.
The next moment, Ji Chen grabbed her waist and pressed her hard into his arms as if to declare his sovereignty.
There was still a laziness in his eyes after a long sleep, and a faint smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was charming and deadly.
The deep and magnetic voice, carrying the lingering warmth of the night, repeated the words just now:
"What did you call me just now?"
Facing Ji Chen's increasingly dark eyes, Chu You finally had a moment of clarity, and with a strong desire to survive, he quickly spoke:
"Junior, Junior Brother?"
"Huh?~"
The ending tone of Ji Chen's question was filled with obvious dissatisfaction.
Chu You seriously suspected that he was "making things difficult" for her because he was still in a bad mood after waking up and saw a scene that made him explode.
But she was in the wrong!
She feels guilty!
I can only obey and make my vocal cords as smooth and soft as possible:
"Husband..."
Oh my god!
She herself almost got goosebumps!
Ji Chen was satisfied, and his eyes accidentally met Jiang Xinbai's. He tilted his head slightly, and there was a heroic air between his brows. His eyes, as bright as stars, contained an invincible power.
Beneath his sword-like brows lies an unconcealable sharpness, like the light of dawn.
Even though Jiang Xinbai had a very high moral character and had seen countless young talents, he had to admit that Ji Chen had the natural aura of a young warrior that no one in the entire Hongmeng cultivation world could match.
While Jiang Xinbai was looking at Ji Chen, Ji Chen was also looking at him.
Although they first met in the Demon Realm, Ji Chen disliked Jiang Xinbai.
But he had to admit that this person had the most extraordinary temperament among all the people he had ever met.
His every move exuded a gentle aura like jade, like the newly born spring water, which was refreshing and pleasant.
He is like a carefully crafted scroll, with both the demeanor of a gentleman and the posture of an immortal, making people forget the world when they see him.
Both of them have a courage that the other lacks, and they admire each other.
If it weren't for Chu You, they might have become good friends.
Instead, they became hostile as soon as they met, as if they had a grudge against each other for stealing his wife.
in fact……
In a sense, it seems that they really have a "revenge for stealing his wife".
Jiang Xinbai's resentment towards Ji Chen is even stronger than his resentment towards Shentu Yin.
If this guy hadn't rushed into Chu You's heart and married her before she even remembered their past, there might not have been Shen Tu Yin later...
How could Jiang Xinbai end up being ranked third?
Even at this moment, he looked like the "San'er" who was afraid to show up in public!
But Jiang Xinbai's dissatisfaction with Ji Chen was not as outwardly expressed as Ji Chen's. Instead, he kept it in his heart, and his expression became more and more calm and composed.
Chu You only took a quick glance and knew something was wrong!
She was too hasty in pushing him just now, and she completely forgot that Jiang Xinbai was a pure spiritual practitioner. She didn't know if he had any internal injuries from her strong push. She couldn't go forward to check, and she was still clinging to Ji Chen's arms, sweetly calling Ji Chen "husband".
One knife after another, Jiang Xinbai's pettiness will be repaid tenfold or a hundredfold in the future, right?
Jiang Xinbai stood up straight, straightened his clothes calmly, and said to Ji Chen with a faint smile:
"Brother Ji, you're finally awake. If you don't wake up, Youyou will probably lose her appetite and won't be able to sleep at night!"
Ji Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He had always been dissatisfied with Jiang Xinbai calling Chu You "Youyou", so his expression naturally did not look much better.
"Brother Jiang, even if you leave the Shangshan Sect, there are still many better places to go. Why would you be willing to stay in my Wuji Mountain?"
After a pause, Ji Chen looked sideways at Chu You again, his eyes dim:
"As for my wife, is she full every day? Is she sleeping well every night?
I know this better than anyone else, so don't worry about it, Brother Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Chu You's whole body stiffened.
Spicy balls!
Ji Chen could actually hear the noises outside while he was sleeping. Doesn't that mean that Shen Tu Yin's hanging out for the past half month was...
Thinking of this, Chu You's face became extremely colorful, and he wished he could hide in Chu Yue's ghost cultivation space.
But she can't!
Jiang Xinbai was so smart that he understood Ji Chen's implication. His eyes were cold, but the smile on his lips deepened. He still managed to remain calm and polite to Ji Chen:
"Brother Ji is too modest. You may not know that I have been invited to officially become an elder of Wuji Mountain, responsible for the operation of the sect and the connection with the Federation of Cultivators."
Ji Chen was stunned and looked at Chu You inquiringly. The latter nodded:
"Elder Jiang is right. Now that we have been promoted to a first-level sect and become a member of the Cultivation World Federation, we have quite a lot of things to do."
If he offended both sides, Chu You would not be able to appease them, so he decisively chose to appease Ji Chen, the straightforward wolf cub, first.
As for Jiang Xinbai, he has offended me more than once or twice, and it has hurt me more than just one or two things. Let's deal with them all later.
Although Ji Chen was very unhappy about this fact, he had a special feeling for Wuji Mountain. Since the other party was already an elder of Wuji Mountain, he naturally had to respect him. He bowed to him and said:
"Disciple Ji Chen greets Elder Jiang!"
After all, he is a child raised by the royal family of the human world. Ji Chen's upbringing and manners are truly impeccable.
Jiang Xinbai's bad mood surprisingly improved a lot.
He seemed to understand a little bit why Shentu Yin was willing to protect Ji Chen and even willing to facilitate the first chance for Ji Chen and Chu You to get married.
Putting aside the identity of "rival in love", Ji Chen's personality is indeed very likable.
Living with Chu You and them in the future doesn't seem to be so embarrassing or uncomfortable.
After figuring things out, Jiang Xinbai lowered his guard a lot and politely helped Ji Chen up.
"I am only a few years older than Brother Ji, so we are actually of the same generation. You can still call me 'Brother Jiang' as before.
From now on, we are a family, no need to be so polite!"
This "family" includes more than just fellow disciples from Wuji Mountain.
It also includes the relationship with Chu You.
Afraid that Ji Chen would hear the hidden meaning behind his words, Chu You's heart was in suspense. He was so nervous that he forgot to breathe!
