I Became the Vicious Senior Brother of “White Cut Black” Junior BrotherCh4 - Homophobia Means Deep Closet

Only two people were standing in the changing room. The hot air from the pool squeezed out from the crack of the side door, and smoke filled the air.

Shen Xingcong obviously had just soaked in a bath, but at this moment, he felt a hint of chill, and his mouth was dry. He licked his lips: “Your wounds…” C4y1ao

“Wounds?”

Xiao Lin lowered his head, looked at himself, and said indifferently: “Ah, don’t worry, senior brother, I didn’t let others see it.”

Shen Xingcong: “…”

No, that’s not what he wanted to ask.
He wanted to know where such terrible wounds actually came from. Ag3pjN

It was the original owner.

Shen Xingcong actually knew the answer. Regardless of Xiao Lin’s response or the original book’s plot, these wounds were only possibly caused by the original owner.

He always knew that Xiao Lin was being bullied secretly and was even glad to see it happen. Because this person will become a great demon who indiscriminately kills innocent people in the future, he doesn’t deserve to be pitied even if he dies.

However, he thought that the original owner at most left some wounds on this person’s body that would disappear within a few days. After all, Xiao Lin looked very healthy, and he didn’t see any wounds on his face or hands.

So the original owner took the initiative to keep it away? So as not to be discovered, he deliberately looked for parts of the body covered with clothes to put his hands on?

And the wounds he had caused now definitely wouldn’t heal in a few days.

The original owner not only beat him up, but he also used a long whipping stick and even a soldering iron. The long-term and continuous “bullying and humiliation” caused the last wounds not to heal, yet new wounds were added. dB6wmI

This wasn’t “beating” but “abusement”, which was close to a pervert’s vicious venting.

It’s not that Shen Xingcong didn’t understand. It was indeed described in the original book: Xiao Lin has been abused for a long time.

However, these few descriptive words failed to make him empathize. Especially thinking of this person’s insanity in the future, he felt this “bullying and humiliation” didn’t count toward anything.

Until now, this person stood before his eyes alive. lGOqky

The boy in front of him was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his height didn’t reach his shoulders. If it were in reality, he would only be a child who has just started junior high school.
The incomparably horrible scars were clearly found all over the body and were deeply engraved in Shen Xingcong’s eyes.

The nerves in his eyes felt like they were being burnt.

“Senior brother, can I go in?”

Hearing the question, Shen Xingcong suddenly regained his senses. Only then did he realize that he was still clutching Xiao Lin’s arm.
“You, you can go.” PlBC0t

He loosened his hand.

Xiao Lin didn’t say much. He turned around abruptly and entered the inner room. Leaving Shen Xingcong standing outside alone.

Shen Xingcong was still in a daze. Perhaps thinking deeply.
He began considering the things he would do afterward.

Originally, he planned to take Xiao Lin away and then kill him secretly. But thinking about it carefully now, it was indeed a murder. 6DkeE5

Furthermore, it wasn’t a one-size-fits-all 999 game.

.

It was quiet in the middle of the night. Other than the occasional footsteps of patrol disciples and lights passing by, there was no other sound.

Shen Xingcong was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.
Since “murder” won’t do, what else can he do to avoid the most tragic ending that happens in the future? hB0mxz

If Xiao Lin were the same as some villains, it was only because of childhood circumstances that he became a psychopath. Then he might still be able to think of some ways to rein in at the brink of the precipice.
But that boy was a pure psychopath. If this path were to work, Mu Xiaorou wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation.

Shen Xingcong unconsciously heaved a soft sigh.

From this point of view, there was probably only one way left.
—Prevent Xiao Lin from restoring his spiritual roots. QSEYfq

As long as he is always in this half-disabled state, even if he wants to cause trouble in the future, he will have the mind but not the power.

Shen Xingcong remembered that the opportunity for Xiao Lin to restore his spiritual roots was the inner sect selection. Therefore, he must prevent this person from participating.

He turned over his body to face the opposite side. That person seemed to be in a deep sleep, his body covered by a thin quilt and his eyes tightly closed. He could faintly hear the slight breathing.

Listening to that sound, Shen Xingcong gradually became sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. e NLbd

At last, the night was completely quiet.
The other person on the bed opened his eyes.

Inside the dimly lit house, the pitch-black eyes became deeper, so deep one couldn’t see the bottom.

.

It has been less than half a month in a row. xXe1PW

Since Xiao Lin hasn’t asked about the going out topic, Shen Xingcong naturally won’t take the initiative to mention it.
Of course, he wasn’t so optimistic either to believe the other person would have forgotten it. After all, it was about the damaged spiritual roots, so it was impossible not to care about it.

He was too aggressive when he had just arrived.

After all, the first time he saw the villain he detested in front of him, he wished he could send him off immediately. Even though he has calmed down now, he is still afraid that the other person has already become wary of him saying such things that day.

That’s fine. As long as Xiao Lin wasn’t allowed to restore his spiritual roots, everything will still be living for the better. RNsG5F

At noon, the sun burnt people’s backs. After being busy for half a day, Shen Xingcong finally finished making rainfall for the spiritual field.

Managing the spiritual field was the Fourth Group’s daily assignment. Usually, the original owner would push the work to Xiao Lin, but Shen Xingcong wasn’t that shameless. Recently, he has come over here by himself.

Xiao Lin didn’t say much regarding this change.
This person had no interest in other people in the first place.

On the contrary, it was the group of people led by Yu Mi who discovered that he was no longer as usual and often ran around causing peculiarity after skipping work, thinking that he was deliberately behaving for the purpose of selection’s quota.

Shen Xingcong couldn’t help thinking that outer disciples were quite idle.

The inner sect selection was near, and Xiaoyao Sect had especially added a public lecture.

It was a rare teaching opportunity, and the classroom was overcrowded every time. Shen Xingcong remembered that it was precisely in this class Xiao Lin met someone, and he got the chance to participate in the selection. mpKk1J

Otherwise, there would have been no place for Xiao Lin with his first stage of Qi training cultivation.

However, that “noble person” was probably just a tool and had no scene in the book. Shen Xingcong couldn’t remember his exact name. Just in case, he specifically asked Xiao Lin to wait for him to attend the class together.

“Does senior brother want to go together with me?” Xiao Lin was surprised.

Shen Xingcong nodded. Kt9Bj2

Xiao Lin didn’t know what he thought of and said in a low voice, “… even attending class now needs to be followed as well?”
Although the volume was low, it was clearly heard in Shen Xingcong’s ears.

Shen Xingcong remained absolutely calm: “After all, you are my junior brother, so of course, I need to take more care of you.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xiao Lin smiled and said nothing more.

After nearly two hours, both of them went out together. 8i5zL6

They were obviously already early, but when they arrived, they found that the big classroom was already overcrowded. All that entered their eyes were the disciples in earth-colored clothes.

Attending class wasn’t Shen Xingcong’s purpose. His main purpose was to prevent Xiao Lin from getting in touch with the “noble person” he didn’t know the name of. He randomly picked a seat to sit down.

The disciples in the classroom were extremely excited.

“I heard that Teacher Lan Jin is teaching today.” 8XUgOd

“I haven’t seen him for a long time. The last time he gave lectures was a year ago, and it’s still fresh in my memory.”

“What?” The disciples who had just entered the sect asked, “Is that teacher very strict? Last time, I saw the elder’s class didn’t have so many people.”

“It’s not a matter of being strict or not.” Someone laughed, “But… he is pleasing to the eye.”

“!? Could it be that he is a great beauty?” bzUKV5

“That’s right, in my opinion, I’m afraid he must be more beautiful than any female cultivators.”

At this moment, expectations were rising in the hearts of all disciples who had never seen Lan Jin.

“It’s truly disgusting. What’s so beautiful.”
Suddenly, a discordant sound came in with some mockery.
“Isn’t it just a woman’s face? He also speaks softly and weakly. He doesn’t look like a man at all.”

Shen Xingcong heard this tone and was somewhat familiar, he raised his head to look, and sure enough, it was Yu Mi. oYsWCi

“You, how can you talk like that!” One of the disciples was extremely angry and bluntly retorted, “Teacher is a person of virtue and prestige…”

“What’s respected or not.” Yu Mi interrupted with a sneer, “Don’t you guys just look at how good he looks? It couldn’t be that our outer sect’s female disciples are so ugly? To make you guys have to look for a sense of presence in a man?”

“You, you—” The disciple was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

Yu Mi entered the sect relatively early, so he has a high rank in seniority. He was also a favorite in front of the steward, so many people didn’t dare to offend him. Not to mention that the few people who usually followed Yu Mi were also there. The small group echoed each other, and the rest of the disciples didn’t dare to speak up.

“It’s no more than a compliment on someone’s appearance. What’s the difference between a man and a woman?” A male voice floated leisurely, “Could it be that you are jealous of others? Even if no one praises you, there is no need to be so angry.”

Yu Mi’s face immediately turned dark when he heard these words, and he glared over: “Shen Xingcong! Why are you everywhere!”

Shen Xingcong: “It’s a rare public lecture. Of course, I have to come.” 8O0SYM

“Humph! You know it’s a lecture too.” Yu Mi said sorrowfully, “As fellow disciples, I couldn’t be more ashamed of these people. They are actually so infatuated with a man.”

Shen Xingcong: “Are female cultivators possible?”

Yu Mi was dumbfounded: “What?”

“If you were a female cultivator, won’t you feel ashamed or even be infatuated together?” kvKnTd

Yu Mi slapped the table and stood up: “Shen Xingcong, be careful of what you say!”

Seeing that the dispute was getting louder, the rest of the disciples were worried about causing a disturbance, so they stepped forward one after another to separate the two of them.

Shen Xingcong looked at that person through the crowd: “Yu Mi, have you heard a sentence?” mI7qwk

Yu Mi’s face was very ugly: “What sentence?”

Shen Xingcong crossed his arms: “Homophobia means deep closet.”

Translator's Note

悬崖勒马 (xuán yá-lè mǎ)

It’s an idiom that refers to waking up and turning around in time on the verge of danger at the last moment.

Translator's Note

阴阳怪气 (yīn yáng-guài qì) UWdx1q

The idiom describes a strange attitude, to speak ironically and coldly, to say spicy and ironic words from the side or the reverse, and to be unable to guess and estimate people or things. You could say Shen Xingcong is just running around causing troubles XD

Translator's Note

一唱一和 (yī chàng-yī hè) eBSLWf

The idiom means that one sings first, and the other follows along. It was originally used to describe the relationship between two people, but now it’s also a metaphor for two people to cooperate with each other and echo each other. What was described here was that no one dared to speak up, so the others also just stayed silent.

Translator's Note

拍案而起 (pāi’àn’érqǐ)

Yu Mi wasn’t really slapped the table and stood up. This idiom describes that Yu Mi was extremely angry. He was at the end of his rope and couldn’t take it anymore.

Translator's Note

It’s the statement in the chapter title too, so it was the meaning.

About the “homophobia means deep closet” statement, you guys could get a glimpse of this meaning from a psychological perspective. For example, a man experiencing homosexual attraction is afraid and depressed because of the prejudice and hatred of his social circle. He would deny that attraction to himself and others. In extreme cases, he would project the “bad” part onto others. It’s like his guilty conscience about his own attraction will cause overcompensations, such as adopting excessively masculine behaviors and expressing contempt and hatred towards homosexuals clearly to everyone around them. You could call it his defense mechanism to overcome his mental distress. He thinks, whether consciously or subconsciously, no one would question his sexual orientation if he acts overly masculine or hateful toward LGBT. As a result, his mental distress won’t relapse and cause him to suffer again. However, this doesn’t apply to everyone or everything in general. It’s just some theory. So, I hope my fellow readers will be wise ^^

Just think of it as a child who goes around telling people he didn’t take any candies while he actually did. In addition, he affirms that stealing is bad behavior and would never do that. All of that is to state his innocence. fUnFmp

  1. Shen Xingcong changed from ‘killing him’ into ‘prevent him’. Anyway, he slayed at the last part!

  2. Thank you for the update and I wish you a Happy New Yearrr! Looking forward to more chapters from you this year! <3

  3. Thank You for the new chapter ♡⁠(⁠>⁠ ⁠ਊ⁠ ⁠<⁠)⁠♡ And Happy New Year! Whishing You the best! ❤️

  4. “Homophobia means deep closet” has been proven over and again in the Republican Party in which we have famous homophobic politicians getting caught in public (the shoe tapper) or in the papers (exes and paid escorts going to the press) with male lovers.

    A bunch of those in the deep closet are pedos as well for example the former Speaker of the House Denis Hastert. There was also that congressman from Florida who was messing with his 17 year old page.

    It has become a meme now that who are filled with hate towards x are probably x themselves. Remember the cocaine orgy story that killed Cawthorns career because he ticked off powerful people and they used dirt (pictures and videos) of him in drag or doing gay stuff?

    I had never heard of the phrase before but now I am going to use it.
