I Never Want to be a Younger Brother AgainChapter 25

Yang Mu and Shi Dixuan achieved first place in the sect competition together. Although most of the credit goes to Yang Mu, Shi Dixuan also basked in some of the glory.

The disciples in the Yuan Sect began to look at Shi Dixuan differently. AW1dKa

Li Yue barely survived the sect competition and lost all his plaques. In his eyes, Shi Dixuan’s first-place achievement was all thanks to Yang Mu.

He could have been Yang Mu’s disciple and this honor should have been his…

Whether it was due to being provoked or reaching a breakthrough in his cultivation, shortly after returning to the sect, Li Yue reached the Foundation Establishment stage with the Elder’s pills/elixers.

Among the new disciples, Li Yue was the first to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. His master believed that his disciples were more talented than the ones Yang Mu had accepted. In his joy, he rewarded Li Yue with a beastman. TwZLY2

A small yellow duck that was only a couple of months old.

With its yellow fluff and round black eyes, the little duck appeared incredibly cute. It had developed intelligence just a few weeks after birth and had not suffered any mistreatment from humans, so it hadn’t had much interaction with its own kind.

When entrusted to Li Yue, it happily nuzzled at Li Yue’s palm.

Li Yue gently stroked the duck’s tiny head with his fingertips, realizing that even if he accelerated its growth, it wouldn’t be of much use. He decided to raise the duck for now.

With the little duck in his hand, Li Yue approached Shi Dixuan, full of confidence, thinking he could redeem himself and impress Yang Mu – after all, it was Yang Mu’s loss when he didn’t choose him as his disciple. GkLVin

Upon understanding Li Yue’s intentions, Shi Dixuan casually turned his head and ignored him, walking away as if he didn’t care.

“Stop right there,” when Shi Dixuan blatantly ignored him, Li Yue, in a fit of anger, blocked his path. However, he didn’t dare to start a fight directly…

Shi Dixuan’s steps were halted, and he looked at Li Yue with an unfriendly expression, asking, “Why should I agree to your request?”

Li Yue was momentarily stunned by Shi Dixuan’s response. After some thought, he decided to use the little yellow duck he had just received as a wager to persuade Shi Dixuan to duel with him. In his heart, there was no way he could lose this duel. fDrGb0

“My master gave me a beastman a few days ago. If you win, I’ll give it to you,” he said, taking the little yellow duck out of the beast-control bag.

The environment inside the bag was probably not very pleasant. As soon as the little yellow duck emerged, it looked pitiful as it nuzzled Li Yue’s fingertip. Being not yet transformed, it couldn’t speak but expressed its distress in this way, hoping that Li Yue wouldn’t put it back in the bag.

Li Yue didn’t feel any sympathy for it. In his mind, a beastman was just a mobile elixir that could enhance his cultivation, not something worth emotional attachment.

After giving Shi Dixuan a brief glance, he unceremoniously stuffed the little yellow duck back into the bag. nTgiu9

Shi Dixuan narrowed his eyes, chuckled lightly, and readily agreed to Li Yue’s challenge, “Three days from now, we will meet at the dueling platform in the square. If I lose, I’ll give you the wolf my master awarded me for the sect competition.”

Li Yue had tried to flaunt his master’s rewarded beastman, but Shi Dixuan responded directly and even called Yang Mu his master once again.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

As long as Yang Mu had beastmen, they were all given to him. Did he think Li Yue would envy or be jealous of him?

Although Shi Dixuan didn’t know the reason behind Yang Mu’s actions that he hadn’t revealed his identity to anyone or taken any action against him after finding out, Shi Dixuan found it strange. However, he kept this matter in his heart, just being cautious. VKs4Jq

For some reason, the longer he spent with Yang Mu, the more he felt that Yang Mu was different from the other humans… and he could choose to trust Yang Mu.

During the sect competition, Yang Mu noticed that he didn’t want to enter the beast-control bag, so he held him in his arms. This unexpected kindness made him feel a warm current in his heart. He couldn’t match Yang Mu in terms of cultivation, and even after reaching the Nascent Soul stage for the first time, he couldn’t bring himself to harm him.

So Yang Mu definitely wasn’t doing this out of fear of him.

Furthermore, this wasn’t the first time Yang Mu had held him in his arms. The first time he did, Shi Dixuan was tense, ready to defend against him at any moment. But the second time, the third time… he couldn’t help but be drawn to the faint, pleasant fragrance that always seemed to linger around Yang Mu. P Iyjs

Gradually, as he snuggled in Yang Mu’s arms, he felt a sense of comfort and security he hadn’t experienced since losing his parents at a young age.

Growing up in a life filled with hatred and endless cultivation, he had never known the warmth and coziness of a home. What’s even more absurd is that he was experiencing this feeling from a human.

After agreeing to Li Yue’s challenge, Shi Dixuan returned to his room to prepare for his cultivation. If it weren’t for that little yellow duck, he would never have agreed to Li Yue’s duel. uHeFkr

He had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and in a few days, he would break through to the Golden Core stage. However, it was not enough, far from it. What could a Golden Core stage do on this continent? Perhaps in this sect, he could become a junior elder with this cultivation. But the Sect Leader already had a Nascent Soul cultivation, maybe even in the peak level. Even with his secret techniques, he could barely contend with Yushi An.

Let alone leaving this small place to explore a broader world.

There were still many enslaved beastmen on the continent, and his goal was to free all of them from human oppression.

What he had to do now was to elevate his cultivation to the Golden Core stage within these three days. 1ddrTO

Clutching his fists tightly, there seemed to be a burning flame in Shi Dixuan’s eyes. In his heart, he kept repeating: ‘Father, Mother, rest assured, I will avenge you.’

— And what was Yang Mu doing on the other side?
