The grievances were all his own, no one could empathize with him.
At the very least, Ba Jie and Miao Yi couldn't empathize with Yu Luocha. Ba Jie harbored ill intentions towards Yu Luocha, and Miao Yi wanted nothing more than to get rid of him.
No matter what their motives were, or what methods they were planning to use, the two men were determined to bully this woman. They could only bully her when she was at her weakest. Otherwise, there was no telling who would be the bully.
Meanwhile, Yu Luocha had gone from being forceful to resisting them with all her might, to completely relaxing her body and mind. Now, she was under the mistaken impression that she was a pushover. The change in her mentality was immense. It was as if her outer shell had been peeled off layer by layer, revealing her true heart. She had placed great hopes on Ba Jie, who had put up a helpless front. In the end, Ba Jie's slap had truly hurt her. It hurt her to the core!
How many years had it been since she last cried? Tonight, she suddenly felt as though she had returned to that helpless and helpless time. She cried and wiped away her tears. From then on, she faced all the hardships with determination, and finally attained the Jade-Faced Buddha Realm.
When she sat here alone, she thought that she was going to repeat the situation from back then. Who knew that a warm hand would reach out to her, a hand that had just handed her clean clothes and food, and even said some words that looked fierce but were actually words of concern for her.
The soft spot in her heart was immediately hit. She didn't want to cry like a weak woman, but she couldn't use her magic power to suppress it. Her tears still flowed out uncontrollably. At this moment, she truly felt that she wasn't some jade-faced Buddha, but just an ordinary woman, no matter how high she stood in the past.
"Boss, how's the taste?" Ba Jie asked with a smile as he sat by the campfire eating and drinking with Miao Yi.
Miao Yi gulped down a mouthful of wine and let out a long sigh. "As long as there's food along the way, I'm fine. It feels like I haven't tasted something so delicious in a long time."
Ba Jie was taken aback. He quickly blamed himself and said, "Big Brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Miao Yi tilted his head to look at him and smiled, "Using your words, we are a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Oh right. How did you two find this place in such a remote area? "
Ba Jie smiled bitterly. "Who the hell knows where this place is? Didn't we run into that Shaman? He pointed us in the right direction. If he didn't point us in the right direction, how would we know this place? If they came, so be it. Who would have thought that they would actually run into that monster? Wasn't the Sorcerer a scammer? It was fine if he scammed me, but he was good friends with the bald donkey. He actually scammed the bald donkey as well. We trusted him so much. "
It really was him! Miao Yi furrowed his brows. He didn't hold any grudges against the other party. After all, he had chosen his own path, and he had never regretted it. As such, he had never resented the other party either. However, putting Ba Jie in such a dangerous situation truly made him feel a little unhappy.
He could not confirm whether Ba Jie and his disciple had come here under the orders of that person. Therefore, if he had the chance to meet them, he would definitely ask them about it!
"Big Brother, how's Ol 'Three doing with that heartless tomboy?" Ba Jie asked.
At the mention of Yue Yao, Miao Yi was taken aback. Naturally, he knew that the heartless tomboy Ba Jie was referring to was Mu Fanjun. After a moment of silence, he said, "I've taken Third Brother as my concubine."
"Pfft …" Ba Jie spat out the wine he had just drunk. The wine dripped down his chin, but he didn't even bother to wipe it off. He stared at Miao Yi in a daze, his throat vibrating. Then, he probed, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you repeat it again?"
Miao Yi tried his best to maintain a calm expression as he repeated, "I've already married Ol 'Three."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that there was no response from the side. When he slowly looked over, he realized that Ba Jie was looking at him with a strange expression on his face. Miao Yi felt extremely awkward, but he maintained a calm facade and said, "What's wrong? Can't I? "
"Fine!" Ba Jie replied with a drawl. However, he soon let out a strange laugh and said, "Big Brother, you're really something! I really couldn't tell. You're such a sanctimonious person! "
Miao Yi said, "Stop acting weird. What do you know by hiding here? I had no choice but to marry Ol 'Three. She was almost harmed by someone. She was in a very abnormal state of mind at the time, so I begged your sister-in-law to let her in. "
Hearing that Ol 'Three was almost harmed, Ba Jie's expression turned grim. "What happened? With Ol 'Three's background and Big Brother's protection, who in the small world would dare to harm Ol' Three? "
"Now you know how to ask? What did you do when you sneaked away and didn't even reply to anyone who tried to contact you? You're not in the small world, and Ol 'Three has come to the outside world as well … "Miao Yi briefly explained the situation, leaving out the part about the Five Sages going to Purgatory. It wasn't that he didn't trust Ba Jie, but he didn't trust Ba Jie's character. There were some things he didn't want Ba Jie to get involved in.
When Ba Jie heard that Yue Yao was almost harmed by the number one pervert of the outside world, Jiang Yiyi, his expression turned savage. He looked as though he wanted to devour someone, and his fingers nearly dug into his palms. When he heard that Yun Zhiqiu had gotten rid of Jiang Yiqiu's scheme, his expression relaxed. He unclenched his fists and let out a long sigh. "As expected of my sister-in-law. I have high hopes for her. Boss didn't marry the wrong person; this is what a family should be like. With sister-in-law around, Little Third won't suffer any grievances in the future. It's a good thing that Little Third married you. Even if you scold or beat her, it's for her own good. At the very least, you won't bully her. If Little Third were to marry someone else, I wouldn't be at ease. Big Brother, how are you doing right now? "
Miao Yi only gave Ba Jie a brief explanation of his own situation, but it was enough to make Ba Jie shudder in fear.
After listening to Miao Yi, Ba Jie sighed. "I didn't think so many things would happen in the past few years. It's a pity I can't help you much with my meager cultivation."
Speaking of cultivation, Miao Yi naturally couldn't help but ask, "How's your cultivation now?"
Ba Jie sighed. "It's alright. I just broke through to the Golden Lotus First Grade a few years ago."
Miao Yi said solemnly, "Only at the Golden Lotus First Grade? Then you're still in the mood to sleep here? Are you stuck here without any cultivation resources? "
Ba Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You don't understand my cultivation art. Cultivation resources were indeed useful in the beginning, but as time went on, they became increasingly useless. My cultivation has always been progressing at a fixed pace, like a snail. It doesn't matter if I eat a bunch of Basic Immortal Pills. It's a waste to give me more cultivation resources. My cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds these past few years. I'm much stronger than the old bald donkey. The old bald donkey hasn't changed much over the years, but after my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, it seems I've reached a bottleneck as well. There's basically no progress anymore. "
Miao Yi frowned. "You didn't analyze the reason? Didn't you analyze why your cultivation improved by leaps and bounds? You have to find the reason to solve it. "
Ba Jie nodded. "I did. How could I not? Come to think of it, it's strange. When my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, I didn't even need to cultivate at all. My cultivation rose on its own and immediately caught up to the old bald donkey."
Miao Yi was shocked. "Your cultivation improved by leaps and bounds without cultivating? How is that possible? What did you do?"
Ba Jie replied, "What else could I have done? I was just wasting my time with that old demon in the temple. I didn't have any time to cultivate either, so I focused all my energy on suppressing that old demon. As a result, my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. It's unbelievably fast. "
Miao Yi exclaimed, "If that's the case, then why don't you continue suppressing that old demon?!"
Ba Jie tore off a rabbit leg and took a bite. Chewing on it, he shook the rabbit leg and said, "You think I don't want to? It's useless. Ever since I could easily suppress that old demon, my cultivation has stagnated. What the hell? Can't you see how free I am now? I don't even need to do anything to suppress that old demon now. The old bald donkey alone is more than enough. What's more, I have Eight Regrets to help me. Tell me, my cultivation speed is still the same even if I don't cultivate. Why do I still cultivate like an idiot? It's more like there's something wrong with my brain. "
Miao Yi hesitated for a moment. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he asked, "Why don't you try another cultivation art? I have the Buddha Sage's Heart Sutra of Pure Bliss here. "
Ba Jie shook his head and said, "It's useless. I've tried all the cultivation arts I've obtained here over the years, but no matter what I try, it's like throwing a grain of sand into the ocean. It's useless no matter how much I try. It's neither a demon nor a tribulation. It's neither immovable nor empty. This poor monk is still a poor monk. I finally understand …" He shook his head.
Miao Yi asked, "Understand what?"
Ba Jie pressed his palms together and said, "Once you step into the path of discipline, you are destined to be a monk. Amitabha!"
Miao Yi fell silent and drank his wine in silence. Ba Jie's cultivation art had this strange problem, and so did his own cultivation art. What was going on with these two brothers?
As he thought about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. To a certain extent, his Fiery Star Technique might not be able to cultivate faster than others without the help of Yin and Yang. Didn't Ba Jie's rapid improvement also happen because he had the incentive to suppress the demonic monk Nan Bo? He pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then there's no need to rush. I reckon you haven't found the incentive to increase your cultivation yet. Once you find it, your cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds again."
Ba Jie chuckled, "What's the rush? Why the hell should this poor monk be in a rush? This poor monk isn't in a rush at all. It wasn't easy for me to step into the cultivation realm. The world is filled with all sorts of temptations. I should enjoy life to the fullest. If I were to waste my time on cultivation, then I would be crazy. "
Miao Yi scoffed, "Let's see if you can still think the same way when you run into trouble and have no one to rely on."
"If I can't even tell what kind of trouble I'm in, then what kind of a …" Ba Jie's mouth froze. Seeing that Miao Yi was going to lecture him like a big brother again, he felt a headache coming on. He quickly changed the topic and coughed dryly, "Big Brother, when I see Little Sister again, do you think I should address her as Sister-in-law or Third Sister?"
Miao Yi's expression instantly darkened. He immediately kicked Ba Jie.
"Ouch!" Ba Jie let out a strange cry as he was sent flying by the kick...
That night, the two brothers, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted for a long time under the starry sky.
It wasn't until the next morning when Miao Yi stood up and looked in the direction of the valley that Ba Jie finally stood up and patted his butt. He walked into the pavilion and said to Yu Luocha, who was lying on her side with her eyes closed, "Stop pretending. I know you're awake."
Yu Luocha opened her eyes for a moment, then closed them again. She coldly asked, "What instructions do you have for me, Grandmaster?"
Ba Jie chuckled, "I heard that you wish to take a look at the treasures of the Nameless School?"
Yu Luocha abruptly opened her eyes. Her eyes were blazing with ambition once again.
Ba Jie waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I can't let you come here for nothing. I'll show you around." He then turned around and left.
