JSCMU-Chapter 118: Ye Cheng Faints

Yun Jin lightly raised her hand, and the cloud overhead instantly began to flash with lightning and thunder.

Ye Cheng immediately showed a terrified expression.

Yun Jin smiled wickedly, “Or perhaps, I could summon lightning to strike down and burn all these adorable Crescent Grasses into charcoal?”

Can the Minor Cloud and Rain Technique summon lightning?

Ye Cheng couldn’t spare the thought. He hurriedly ran under Yun Jin’s rain cloud and said with some fear, “If you must strike, then strike me! Don’t—don’t lay a hand on the Crescent Grass!”

“Oh?” Yun Jin raised an eyebrow. “And if I refuse to listen to you?”

Ye Cheng gritted his teeth. “Today… just what—what exactly do you want? I believe I’ve never wronged you. That match before—it was you who initiated it. And I lost completely. I didn’t pose any threat to you at all!”

Ye Cheng truly couldn’t understand why Yun Jin was making trouble for him.

“It’s very simple,” Yun Jin cackled. “I just don’t like you! Do I need a reason to dislike someone? It’s a shame, though. The sect forbids fellow disciples from harming each other, so I can only take it out on these innocent spirit plants. These Crescent Grasses are low-grade. Even if I destroy them all, at most I’ll be fined a few spirit stones. But this will make you suffer immensely, won’t it?”

Ye Cheng’s face immediately turned pale, and he said, trembling, “Come at me! Don’t hurt the spirit plants.”

“Ding, Emotion Points +300.”

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow.

Ye Cheng’s Emotion Points actually shot up to 300, but it still wasn’t enough.

“To torment someone properly, you naturally have to use the method they find most unbearable. Don’t you care deeply about these spirit plants?”

Yun Jin let out a light laugh and pointed at the rain cloud. A bolt of lightning within the cloud crashed down with a roar.

“No—don’t!” Ye Cheng ran madly to intercept the lightning.

But his head suddenly throbbed with pain, his body went weak, and Ye Cheng collapsed heavily to the ground. He fainted.

“Emotional Points +500.”

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and waved her hand to dispel the lightning, preventing it from actually striking.

“Disciple!” Ma Hongyu rushed over and just happened to see the moment when Ye Cheng fainted. His eyes turned red. He rushed forward and helped Ye Cheng up, angrily glaring at Yun Jin, “How dare you do this!!”

The other disciples also arrived after hearing the noise, all of them glaring angrily at Yun Jin.

If looks could kill, Yun Jin would’ve been torn apart a thousand times.

Yun Jin didn’t panic at all. She smiled. “Senior Brother Ye is so weak, how can it be my fault? I only said a few words to him, who knew he would just faint like that?”

Ma Hongyu trembled all over from anger, and was just about to say something.

Ye Cheng slowly opened his eyes. He grabbed onto Ma Hongyu’s sleeve, “Master… the Crescent Grass…”

Ma Hongyu was about to burst into tears, “It’s okay, the Crescent Grass is fine.”

Ye Cheng instantly relaxed, “So Junior Sister Yun was only scaring me. Thank goodness, thank goodness!”

After saying that, his eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted again.

“Disciple!” Ma Hongyu’s heart ached. He looked at Yun Jin and said sternly, “If anything happens to Ye Cheng, I will never let you off!”

Yun Jin chuckled lightly, “I’ll be waiting.”

Ma Hongyu glared at her coldly, then took out a healing pill and fed it to Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng was unconscious, so he helped Ye Cheng refine the medicine himself.

Judging from the situation, Ye Cheng must’ve fainted from anger, so Ma Hongyu used a medicine suitable for that.

But after taking the pill, not only did Ye Cheng not improve, he even coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“What’s going on? What is this?!” Ma Hongyu completely panicked!

Yun Jin and Ye Cheng didn’t even fight. If it was just anger, how could it be this serious?

Yun Jin was lazily watching the whole time.

Seeing that the medicine had no effect, she spread her hands, “Uncle-Master Ma, I only had a few words of disagreement with Ye Cheng. He’s in Golden Core Stage, and he can’t even handle that? Don’t tell me he was already sick to begin with, and now he’s trying to frame me?”

As she spoke, Yun Jin looked angry, “You better not try to extort me!”

“Shut up!” Ma Hongyu trembled with rage, but he was also full of doubt.

Something was wrong with Ye Cheng’s condition.

A Golden Core cultivator, knocked out by just a few words?

Something’s off.

“I, Yun Jin, am not someone you can extort! Ye Cheng’s condition has nothing to do with me. At most, I’ll compensate with a bit of spirit stones.” Yun Jin threw over a storage pouch.

Then she turned and left with Gu Jinghong!

The storage pouch just happened to hit Ma Hongyu on the head.

Ma Hongyu’s eyes turned red with anger. He grabbed the storage pouch, “Wretch! This is outrageous!”

He activated his spiritual energy and was about to destroy the storage pouch. But then his expression suddenly changed.

Ma Hongyu’s eyes flickered.

In next moment, the storage pouch still turned into dust in his hands, but the contents inside were secretly transfered and stored in his sleeve.

“Enough. Go back to your own tasks. I will take your eldest senior brother back to recover.” Ma Hongyu said.

The other disciples all answered in agreement.

Ma Hongyu carried Ye Cheng and quickly returned to the cave dwelling.

At almost the same time, Zhao Wuji also learned of what had happened.

He narrowed his eyes.

This Yun Jin, just because she won a few times, she’s now completely flying off the rails!

Hmph, that’s fine. Let everyone see what kind of person Yun Jin really is.

This time, Ye Cheng probably fainted because some of the poison had already entered his body. The intense emotional fluctuation triggered the fainting.

But the poison he used was extremely rare and could not be detected at all.

Ye Cheng would naturally wake up after one or two days of unconsciousness.

This was a perfect opportunity to widely spread the news and let everyone know how lawless Yun Jin was.

“Hongyu must be furious right now.” Zhao Wuji said hypocritically, “Bring some healing pills to him, and tell him not to worry. This Yun Jin… sigh, even I can’t do anything about her now.”

The disciple acknowledged and left.

Only then did Zhao Wuji let out a cold laugh. Yun Jin, oh Yun Jin. Since you insist on offering me leverage, I’ll gladly accept it.

Inside the cave dwelling.

Ma Hongyu hesitated for a moment and took out a sound-transmission talisman.

Yes.

Inside the storage pouch Yun Jin gave him, there was nothing except a sound-transmission talisman.

Now, only Heaven and Earth bore witness, and only he and Yun Jin knew the truth. What the others saw was only him destroying the storage pouch in anger.

What was the message in this talisman?

Surely it wasn’t just to mock him?

Ma Hongyu had a persistent feeling that something about this whole situation was strange.

He carefully checked the formation barrier of the cave and confirmed there was nothing wrong. Only then did he ignite the talisman.

Yun Jin’s clear voice came through.

The content was very short.

Yun Jin only said one thing, have him remove the jade pendant the Sect Master gave to Ye Cheng. If done, Ye Cheng would wake up in an hour.

The meaning was very clear.

Yun Jin was clearly implying that there was something wrong with the jade pendant!

Ma Hongyu’s expression changed.

If the problem really lies with the jade pendant, what was the Sect Master trying to do?

Did he really want Ye Cheng dead?

What did Ye Cheng do wrong?

Ma Hongyu looked at his unconscious disciple. His fingers trembled slightly.

For years, he managed the spirit fields for Zhao Wuji and was practically half a trusted aide.

He thought he had some standing in front of Zhao Wuji.

But if… he couldn’t even protect his own disciple, then what had all these years of service been for?

Ma Hongyu’s hands trembled as he slowly removed the jade pendant from Ye Cheng’s waist.

Now he would see, whether what Yun Jin said was true.
