Crazy involution in male-oriented novels, my senior brother has set his sights on me

"Brother! Junior Brother! I just caught a wild rabbit. Let's roast it together!"

Ye Zhiling's excited voice came from a distance. Lin Hao came to his senses and turned his head away awkwardly.

If Lin Jinxing was more careful, he would be able to see his red ears.

Lin Hao's thoughts were a little confused at the moment. What on earth was he thinking just now? He actually compared his senior brother with Mei Shu? The two people were obviously of different genders!

Ye Zhiling ran over with the rabbit in one hand.

The ponytails on both sides were shaking violently today, apparently as if reflecting her good mood at the moment.

When he got closer, he saw the two of them standing there blankly, and asked them curiously.

"Brother, Junior Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Jinxing stopped smiling at this moment and returned to his usual cold expression.

"Nothing. Didn't senior sister say that we caught a wild rabbit?" Lin Hao's smile was still gentle, as gentle as jade, like the best-educated young master of aristocratic family.

After Lin Hao’s interruption, Ye Zhiling forgot about the previous question and excitedly held the hare in front of Lin Hao.

The hare was still alive, but now its ears were grabbed so that it could not move. Its wet eyes looked at Lin Hao pitifully, as if begging Lin Hao to be soft-hearted and let it go.

"The rabbit is so cute..." The rabbit's eyes brightened up. It seems that pretending to be pitiful really works!

Its mother had indeed not lied to it. As long as it found the most gentle-looking two-legged animal and pretended to be pitiful, she would let it go.

The gentle smile on Lin Hao's face remained unchanged, but he uttered the most desperate words to Tutu.

“It must be delicious!”

Rabbit: “…” Mother lied to it!

The rabbit's limbs dropped down as it gave up resistance. This appearance reminded Lin Hao of a kind of pendant that a girl in the tribe had liked for a while in his previous life.

It seems to be called playing dead rabbit?

"Right! This rabbit is so fat it must be delicious!" Ye Zhiling was even happier when he saw that his junior brother agreed with him.

"Sister, how do you want to eat?" Lin Hao glanced at the rabbit that exuded despair and asked Ye Zhiling with a smile.

"This rabbit is so fat, it will taste better if it is roasted! When it is roasted over fire, the fat will burst out...hiss!" Thinking of the roasted rabbit, Ye Zhiling swallowed his saliva.

Enough of you two-legged animals! Eat it if you want! Discussing the roasted bunny in front of it, don’t you have any dignity?

Lin Jinxing looked at the rabbit that exuded humiliation and felt a little sorry for it. "This rabbit is quite intelligent..."

Hope rekindled in the rabbit's eyes. Could this person be the two-legged beast that his mother had mentioned, with a cold face but a warm heart?

Is this going to release it?

Even Lin Hao thought that Lin Jinxing was soft-hearted and wanted to let the rabbit go. If his senior brother wished, Lin Hao would of course do so!

The same goes for Ye Zhiling. In fact, sometimes Lin Jinxing's words are more useful than Chang Ziqing's.

"Let's not discuss how to eat it in front of the rabbit. Let's give it a good kill first." The words that came out of Lin Jinxing's handsome thin lips made the rabbit completely despair.

Sure enough, my mother lied to it! None of the two-legged beasts are good people!

The three of them sat around the fire, and Ye Zhiling concentrated on roasting the rabbit with a seriousness that had never been seen even when she was practicing.

"Did you think I was going to let this rabbit go just now?" Lin Hao, who had been concentrating on staring at the rabbit, scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Lin Jinxing ask this question.

"I was mistaken. Senior Brother has always been soft-hearted, so I naturally thought..."

"Although I am soft-hearted, I can also distinguish the primary from the secondary. You two are the most important to me. How could I let my junior brothers and sisters show their disappointment just because of a rabbit?"

Lin Jinxing's cold voice without any ups and downs became the most beautiful and gentle words in Lin Hao's ears.

The gentle mask on Lin Hao's face cracked, revealing the most sincere smile, "I am the same! I don't want my brothers and sisters to suffer any grievances!"

"What are you talking about? Come and try it! The rabbit is ready!" As he said that, Ye Zhiling tore off the two most delicious front legs of the roasted rabbit and handed them to Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing.

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing didn't take it, so Ye Zhiling said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up and take it. You took the front legs, and the two hind legs are mine! Don't fight with me!"

Listening to Ye Zhiling's seemingly heartless words, Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, I won't compete with Senior Sister."

The two took the rabbit leg.

The elder sister proudly tore off a hind leg and said, "You are smart. If this were Master's..."

"How about becoming a master instead?" Chang Ziqing's voice sounded above Ye Zhiling's head.

At the same time, Ye Zhiling felt his hands were empty, and the rabbit leg he had just torn off fell into the hands of Chang Ziqing who had just landed.

Ye Zhiling was somewhat dissatisfied, but thinking that his master had been traveling outside for three months and didn't say anything, he just pouted his mouth, tore off another rabbit leg and took a quick bite.

"Not bad! After not seeing you for three months, little Lingling has already learned to respect his teacher?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but Ye Zhiling ignored it and concentrated on chewing the rabbit in her hand, fearing that her master would eat more than her.

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing also tacitly did not say much until most of the rabbit was eaten by Zhang Ziqing. Then Zhang Ziqing stopped, drank the wine in his hand, and sighed: "I haven't eaten Xiao Lingdang's roasted rabbit for a long time. It tastes really good!"

"Master, have you found the reason why my junior brother cannot advance this time?" Lin Jinxing asked when he saw that his eldest son Qing was full.

"Found it." Zhang Ziqing stopped drinking, put away his usual casual expression and said solemnly.

"What's the reason?" Ye Zhiling stopped chewing the rabbit head and asked after hearing what Chang Ziqing said.

"Because of spiritual roots!" Zhang Ziqing's words made the three people present confused.

"But there was nothing unusual in my previous practice." Lin Hao said doubtfully.

"Before, the Qi Refining Stage could only be regarded as leaving the mortal body, so your three useless spiritual roots were not a problem. But now that you have established your foundation and officially entered the ranks of cultivators, those three spiritual roots have become an obstacle to your advancement!"

"There have been precedents of chaotic spiritual roots mixed with other spiritual roots before." Lin Jinxing raised the question.

Zhang Ziqing touched his nose with a guilty conscience, "This situation is also related to the practice method I taught Lin Hao."

"Hunyuan Jingxu Jue?" Lin Hao asked calmly.

"That's right. If you practiced other techniques, this might not be the case. I just figured out the reason this time. 'Hunyuan Jingxu Jue' is indeed the most suitable technique for practicing Chaos Spirit Roots, but it also has disadvantages! I got this technique from the secret realm. I recently re-studied it and found that this technique can continuously refine Chaos Spirit Roots. In the early stage of practice, I felt something different, but after the foundation is established, because the Chaos Spirit Roots are becoming more and more pure, they are no longer compatible with other spiritual roots in the body. Although you won't go astray, no matter how much you practice, it can't be used to improve your cultivation!"

After hearing what Chang Ziqing said, the three fell silent.

"Junior brother, can't you start over?" Ye Zhiling asked.

Lin Jinxing shook his head. "It's too late to rebuild now. My spiritual roots have already been tempered. Rebuilding is not a good idea. Now I can only go down this path till the end!"

Zhang Ziqing agreed: "Yes, Xiao Jinxing is right."

Ye Zhiling did not give up, and asked hopefully: "Now that we have found the reason, can you advance to the next level, Junior Brother?"

At this moment, Lin Jinxing was not as optimistic as Ye Zhiling.

And what Chang Ziqing said next was like a bucket of cold water that completely extinguished Ye Zhiling's happiness.
