**My senior brother is super strong Chapter 31**
Ji Yan walked out of the wooden house, a serious look on his face.
Seeing the situation outside, he frowned.
He ducked and appeared next to Lu Chen and Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye's face lit up with joy upon seeing Ji Yan. "Senior brother, please save my cousin and the others!"
Ji Yan turned to Lu Chen.
"They insist on seeing you," Lu Chen said. "I told them you were not free, but they wouldn't listen."
"Since they're determined to break in, they're asking for trouble."
Ji Yan's expression remained unmoved. "What do they want this time?"
With a flick of his wrist, the swords in the sky that were besieging Xiao Qun instantly withdrew, disappearing underground.
Xiao Qun and the others turned pale, shock evident on their faces.
They leaned on each other for support.
Xiao Qun pointed at Lu Chen, her voice shaking with anger. "You just wait! This isn't over!"
Even Xiao Qun, with her lack of smarts, realized she had been deceived by Lu Chen. He had played her like a fool.
"You will regret this; I'll have Grandpa deal with you!"
Others joined in, pointing fingers and cursing Lu Chen, seemingly unaware of Ji Yan's imposing presence. Or perhaps, Ji Yan let them ignore him deliberately.
Ji Yan frowned and waved his sleeves once more, causing Xiao Qun and her companions to fall into unconsciousness instantly.
Lu Chen regarded Ji Yan with the same stoic expression. "Ha, imitating Master with your sleeve waves—so majestic!"
"Are you not bold enough to finish them off?"
"You're still at the Nascent Soul stage. They're in your territory, causing havoc—if you don't eliminate them, how will you maintain your reputation?"
Ji Yan replied calmly, "How old are you? Still as naive as ever."
Lu Chen retorted, "These are Junior Sister's enemies. Better to kill them now than face future troubles."
Ji Yan turned to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye spoke up quickly, "Senior brother, we've had some conflicts, but I'm not ready to kill her yet."
"After all, she's my cousin, and her grandfather is our great elder. Killing her would only lead to trouble."
Ji Yan said, "I'm not worried about trouble. If you want to kill her, do it."
His tone was level, unaffected by the fate of Xiao Qun and her crew.
"Lingxiao Peak fears no one, nor does it permit anyone to bully us."
Xiao Ye felt a sense of comfort and safety at that moment; her senior brother made her feel secure.
Still, Xiao Ye hesitated to bring trouble to the sect on her account. After all, Xiao Qun and the others were her clansmen; she couldn't bear to harm them.
"Just give them a lesson, nothing more."
Ji Yan glanced at Lu Chen.
"Why are you looking at me?" Lu Chen asked.
"How many times must I tell you, don't be such a saint? Deal with them."
"Stop stalling."
Ji Yan pressed, "Why don't you kill them?"
"There's no point in killing them. My junior sister can't even afford a meal for me," Lu Chen replied nonchalantly.
"By the way, I forgot something important."
Pausing for effect, he complained to Ji Yan, "When you cause trouble, can't you manage your mess yourself?"
"I helped clean up after you last time. How will you resolve this?"
He then extended his hand. "Hard work fee, please."
"Qiang!"
The long sword behind Ji Yan was half-drawn, its blade glinting menacingly.
"Want to spar?" he asked coolly. "Let's see the strength of the Nascent Soul stage."
Though Ji Yan's voice was calm, Xiao Ye sensed an undercurrent of bravado in it.
It seemed he was intent on showing off to Lu Chen.
"Leave me out of this."
"Is it amusing to use your realm to intimidate me?"
Lu Chen remained unfazed.
Xiao Ye covered her mouth to suppress her laughter.
The second senior brother was flustered; even her master couldn't sway him, yet he appeared defeated before his own senior brother.
Truly, senior brother deserved his title—only he could put the second senior brother in his place.
Watching the two banter, Xiao Ye longed for a stool to sit beside them and enjoy the spectacle.
Ji Yan noticed Xiao Ye snickering.
He then addressed Lu Chen, "One month remains; don't forget."
"So what? If Junior Sister is unable, do you intend to kill her?"
Xiao Ye's heart sank; why did the conversation turn to her again? She felt overwhelmed.
Ji Yan stated, "If she fails, you won't receive any sect benefits for a year."
Lu Chen shot back, "You are certainly unwell—seriously ill."
"Just wait for a day when I'm stronger than you; I will give you a proper beating."
A smile played on Ji Yan's stern face, and it was surprisingly attractive.
Xiao Ye found herself momentarily stunned.
"I'll wait to see that day."
Once Ji Yan retreated to the cabin, Lu Chen lightly slapped Xiao Ye on the head.
"What were you daydreaming about, drooling?"
Xiao Ye instinctively wiped her mouth, realizing she had been caught off guard.
Her face turned crimson. "Second Senior Brother, that's untrue!"
Lu Chen commanded, "Go get me their things."
"What?"
Xiao Ye was momentarily taken aback.
"Bring me their storage rings and anything of value."
Understanding dawned on her. "Second Senior Brother, are you planning to rob them?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Lu Chen asked, his tone confident.
Faced with his matter-of-fact attitude, Xiao Ye found herself speechless. "What if this gets out? It would be quite embarrassing."
Lu Chen sneered, "What's there to be ashamed of?"
"It would be shameful not to take their belongings. Hurry! If you don't, I might throw them back in."
After the threat, he continued to persuade her, "They're all your enemies. What do you think of that?"
"Just imagine how furious they'll be when they wake up to find their belongings missing!"
Xiao Ye recognized the shamelessness of the act, yet Lu Chen's logic made it seemingly reasonable.
She hesitated. "Are you sure you want this?"
"Yes, go quickly; we need to visit the Sword Cave today."
"Why don't you go yourself?"
"They're women! If they were men, would I even need you?"
"Now hurry, search thoroughly, and don't miss a thing."
