System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible-Chapter 76 – Su Yeyue tragically died unexpectedly
Two days later.
Ji Kun personally went to Elder Dai's cave abode to apologize, but he had to stand outside for a whole hour before being let in.
His expression was slightly angry, but he remembered Chen Xun's words and forced a smile.
Inside the cave abode, a series of scoldings echoed, but every time Ji Kun wanted to get angry, he thought of Chen Xun and had to keep smiling and explaining.
Finally, the scolding gradually subsided, and occasional laughter could be heard.
Elder Dai said that the matter was in the past and praised Ji Kun for his sincerity, saying he truly saw his earnestness.

The issue with the female Qi cultivation phase disciple was also let go, and Ji Kun was warned not to cause any more trouble.
Elder Dai didn't want to contradict himself, and he could guess Ji Kun's intentions to some extent.
However, Ji Kun didn't care at all and said he was only there to apologize and explain, with no other intentions, and that he had let go of his hatred.
Elder Dai was very satisfied with Ji Kun's temperament and hinted at recruiting him.
This person was talented, adaptable, and had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment phase, making him highly moldable.
Ji Kun kept laughing it off, saying he needed to consider it carefully as it concerned his future, but he showed no disrespect.
Elder Dai understood and told Ji Kun to think it over, promising many benefits and praising him with every word.
He also said that no matter who Ji Kun chose in the future, their past grievances would be wiped clean because of his actions today, showing Ji Kun what it meant to be magnanimous.
Walking back, Ji Kun wore a deep expression, constantly recalling Chen Xun's words.
He felt like he had grasped something but couldn't see it clearly, murmuring, "In the end, stick to your original intention..."
That meant now, his original intention was to kill that woman and then join Elder Li's faction, a major force among the outer sect deacons, with no fear of Elder Dai.
But that woman couldn't be killed now, as even Elder Dai could guess his intentions.
A few days later, Ji Kun officially announced his allegiance to Elder Li.
Upon hearing this news, Elder Dai's blood pressure soared, and he couldn't meditate for several days, growing angrier the more he thought about it.
In the days that followed, Ji Kun, a rogue cultivator, showed a ferocity and strength far beyond the sect disciples, continuously earning merits for the sect, much to Elder Li's delight.
Even at gatherings of the outer sect deacons, Elder Li constantly praised Ji Kun, saying the outer sect needed such fearless fighters, and the other elders nodded in agreement.
Elder Dai's blood pressure rose again, his thoughts becoming increasingly muddled, and he felt bitter that Ji Kun should have been under his command.
He recalled Ji Kun's heartfelt apology that day and the many doubts surrounding the incident back then, even the sect's Law Enforcement Hall hadn't reached a conclusion.
Elder Dai gradually turned his anger towards Su Yeyue, believing she had sown discord and cost him a Foundation Establishment phase talent!
Meanwhile, Su Yeyue was waking up from nightmares every night, terrified that Ji Kun, who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment phase, could easily kill her, a tenth-level Qi cultivation phase disciple.
But Ji Kun never came to trouble her, which only made her more fearful, feeling it was a psychological torment.
As Ji Kun's reputation among the outer sect deacons grew, her fear increased daily, wishing he would just kill her outright.
However, she had prepared a backup plan; if Ji Kun dared to kill her, she would drag him down with her, ensuring the sect would find out it was him.
But Ji Kun remained inactive, driving her increasingly mad with his rising reputation, sometimes appearing disheveled and screaming at the sight of any man.
She even crazily told others that Ji Kun wanted to kill her, eventually seeking Elder Dai's protection.
Seeing her, Elder Dai grew even angrier, thinking Ji Kun didn't even care about her, and her frantic behavior disgusted him.
He then assigned her several extremely dangerous tasks, and Su Yeyue finally died in an accident, her body devoured by demonic beasts, leaving no remains, a tragic end.
This small matter caused no ripples, as it was too common for a Qi cultivation phase disciple to die on a mission.
Ji Kun had a perfect alibi, being on another mission at the time.
Upon returning to the sect, many people who wanted to curry favor with Ji Kun said it was good that she died, knowing that Senior Brother Ji was wronged back then!
Even her death cleared Ji Kun's name, with countless outer sect deacon disciples cursing Su Yeyue, saying how could someone like her wrong Senior Brother Ji.
Now, Ji Kun was filled with a murderous aura, his demeanor cold and unapproachable, ignoring those trying to curry favor.
He returned to his cave abode, his heart in turmoil, his cold expression finally showing shock.
He had seen Su Yeyue's madness in the outer sect deacons and found it quite satisfying, glad he hadn't acted impulsively.
"If Senior Brother Ji can't return, I'll deal with her, making her disappear without a trace, and the sect will never find any evidence."
"Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, Senior Brother Ji, but it's better to resolve enmities than to create them. She's just a Qi cultivation phase disciple, why put yourself in danger? As Foundation Establishment cultivators, we should adhere to the sect rules!"
Ji Kun kept recalling Chen Xun's words, his shock growing, his pupils trembling, thinking of that always-smiling junior brother holding Black Bull...
"Heh, I must be overthinking. Junior Brother Chen Xun is so pure. Ji Kun, Ji Kun."
Ji Kun shook his head and sighed, thinking he had been in the outer sect deacons too long, imagining his most important person as such.
Slap!
He gave himself a hard slap, cursing himself internally, thinking that Chen Xun was his last piece of purity, not to be tainted, not even by himself...
But seeing Su Yeyue's miserable end, he spat out a breath of foul air, feeling greatly relieved. Now, having joined Elder Li's faction, he constantly troubled Elder Dai.
Because of his apology and never interacting with that woman, Elder Dai never targeted him.
Ji Kun couldn't help but feel that Chen Xun's words were increasingly right, saving him a lot of trouble.
He held a communication talisman and headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
...
Chen Xun was meditating and absorbing spiritual qi when his communication talisman glowed. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled, knowing that Senior Brother Ji had resolved all his troubles.
He personally welcomed Ji Kun to his cave abode in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and Ji Kun was amazed by the beautiful scenery, feeling at ease seeing Chen Xun and Black Bull living so comfortably.
They talked a lot, with Ji Kun recounting his experiences over the past six months, not mentioning the woman at all.
Black Bull listened with wide eyes, amazed at the dangers outside the sect, even learning about the existence of evil cultivators.
Chen Xun also found it thrilling, and laughter filled the cave abode.
Ji Kun, initially serious, couldn't help but laugh at their jokes. The dangerous situations seemed different when Chen Xun talked about them.
For instance, did evil cultivators really use cultivators for their cultivation? What did they look like? Did they eat spiritual beasts? Did they always wear black robes and laugh maniacally? And so on.
Black Bull listened in horror, leaning on Chen Xun but showing curiosity, wanting to hear more...
Then they went to the Contribution Hall together, spending all their contributions on formation materials for Black Bull. If Chen Xun hadn't stopped him, Ji Kun would have used up all his contributions.
In front of others, they maintained the sect's hierarchy, with Chen Xun as the senior brother and Ji Kun as the junior brother, leaving no room for gossip.
But in Ji Kun's heart, Chen Xun and Black Bull would always be his junior brothers. They weren't good at dueling, and if anything happened, he would protect them with his life...
Even during the Nandou Mountain trip years ago, Ji Kun believed they were blessed with good fortune, not relying on dueling skills. Every twenty years, such people would appear in the various sects.
