Chapter 82 Don’t Talk About My Senior Brother
Several of the reservists who were discussing the matter turned around and looked at Zenitsu with unfriendly eyes, especially the one who was hit by the fist, who had anger in his eyes, "You want to die, don't you!?"

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be another loser. Lord Kuwashima is really pitiful. That loser Lu Li can't learn the Breathing of Thunder, and you only know the One Form. Hahaha."

The other said with a smile, his tone mocking.

Zenitsu was filled with rage and didn't care that the other party had more people than him. He rushed up and started fighting with them.

But because he was cautious, he controlled his strength for fear of causing serious harm to these people. In addition, the other side had more people and more power, and soon his two fists were no match for four hands, and he was beaten black and blue.

"Waste is waste. It's such a waste to let Lord Kuwashima teach you."

The crew-haired boy who was punched by Zenitsu at the beginning, knocked Zenitsu to the ground and spit at him with a look of disdain and jealousy in his eyes.

"Let's go, there's nothing to talk to him about."

Another person stopped the boy who wanted to continue beating Zenitsu. He felt that it was enough and if they continued fighting, something bad might happen. Even though he was unhappy with Zenitsu, he could not deny that they were all reserve members of the Demon Slayer Corps with tragic life stories and they would have to go to the battlefield together to kill demons in the future.

It would be fine if it was just a normal quarrel or fight, but if Zenitsu was seriously injured, that would be too much.

"Tsk, I'll let you go today."

The crew-cut boy turned around and prepared to leave, but he couldn't move his legs because Zenitsu grabbed his ankle.

"Apologize……"

Zenitsu's voice was hoarse with a bruised face and nose.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Are you sick?"

The boy with a crew cut tried to twitch his feet but couldn't. There was some surprise in his eyes. Is Zenitsu really that strong?

"I...I want you to apologize. Don't...say bad things about my Senior Brother Lu..."

Zenitsu said weakly.

"Huh? I guess you haven't been beaten enough!"

The crew-cut boy said this and hit Zenitsu on the head with his scabbard.

"Don't……"

His friends next to him wanted to warn him, fearing that he might hit Zenitsu to death, but the knife had already been struck.

Just when they thought they were about to witness a tragedy, the scabbard stopped two inches away from Zenitsu's head.

A hand grabbed the scabbard from above at a faster speed than the scabbard was falling.

The young man with a crew cut was also stunned. He pulled hard at the scabbard, but found that the scabbard did not move at all. In shock, his eyes moved up along the hand and saw the face of the person who came.

In the setting sun, the man was wearing a jet-black haori, with a gloomy expression on his masculine and handsome face. The murderous intent that flashed across his eyes made the air around him drop several degrees.

The crew-haired boy pulled out his sword with all his strength, but there was no response. He exclaimed, "How, how is it possible, you are not..."

Lu Li didn't say anything, he just let go of his hand. The young man with a crew cut fell backwards because he used too much force, and his buttocks sat on the ground.

The other people were also silent under the cover of Lu Li's invisible aura. They couldn't understand why Lu Li, who was said to be the most useless child of Ci Wulang and couldn't learn the breathing method in ten years, could be so powerful.

Lu Li helped Shan Yi up, glanced at the few people with a cold look, and said in a flat voice, "Get lost."

The few people who were originally frozen in place were so scared that they turned around and ran away without saying a word, and the young man with a crew cut who had fallen to the ground was even more unbearable. His legs were so weak that he couldn't get up, and in the end, a pool of water flowed from his lower body.

"Senior Brother Lu..."

Zenitsu's voice was weak and his expression was a little ashamed.

Lu Li helped Shan Yi walk to the other side of the street, "Are you blaming me for not helping you vent your anger?"

"How could that be... I meant to say that I didn't mean to start a fight."

Shan Yi lowered his head and said that he was afraid that his senior brother would blame him for causing trouble. "Then why did you fight with them?"

Lu Li asked.

"I...actually nothing..."

Zenitsu hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile on his face, "It's my fault, we had some arguments."

He didn't want to let his senior brother know that others said he was a waste, as that would make his senior brother sad. He was just a little unwilling. Fighting was wrong in the first place, and he ended up losing. In the end, his senior brother had to come to the rescue.

Lu Li stroked Shan Yi's golden hair and said, "Brother didn't help you beat them up because I believe Shan Yi will win in the future. You are just too kind."

Zenitsu's eyes flickered, "Will I win in the future?"

"You will win. Whether you fight back or make them recognize you and apologize to you, it's your victory."

Lu Li said with a smile, in fact, he had arrived a few seconds earlier and heard a few words they said during the fight, so he could roughly guess what was going on.

Seeing Zenitsu being beaten black and blue and dragging those people to apologize to him, something in his heart was touched.

For a moment, he remembered his childhood. He also had a master and a senior sister. The sincere feelings between senior sisters and brothers were really beautiful. Zenitsu made him recall those beautiful things.

At this moment, he really had a good impression of this kind-hearted junior brother, and from then on, protecting Zenitsu would no longer be simply a mission.

"Since Senior Brother said so, I will try my best."

After hearing what Lu Li said, Shanyi also smiled, but he had no intention of retaliating against those people by beating them up. He just wanted them to identify with him, acknowledge his grandfather's vision, and stop saying that what his grandfather taught was rubbish.

Lu Li took Zenitsu to the town to buy a lot of snacks. On the way back, Lu Li quietly supported Zenitsu's hand and used Huidao to help stabilize his injuries.

But in fact, Zenitsu's injury was not serious. After all, his attributes were there. Even if the other reserves learned the breathing method, their normal attributes were only eight or nine points, which were far less powerful than Zenitsu.

It’s not that Zenitsu couldn’t beat those guys, it’s just that he was too kind and subconsciously suppressed his strength and didn’t use much force. In fact, the punches and kicks from those guys only caused superficial injuries to Zenitsu.

Because it would be troublesome to explain, Lu Li only helped Zenitsu deal with some injuries that were slow to heal, and reduced the swelling on his face. With Zenitsu's physical condition, the rest of the injuries would be fine after a good night's sleep.

"What's wrong with you?"

Jigoro looked at Lu Li and Zenitsu, put down the spoon with rice, and looked confused.

Zenitsu only went down the mountain, why was his face bruised and swollen? It shouldn't be that he encountered a ghost. After all, this Taoshan Mountain is a very hidden breeding base. With the intelligence gathering ability of ghosts, it is unlikely that they know about this place.

"Grandpa...I..."

Zenitsu opened his mouth, finding it a little difficult to speak, but he was not good at lying.

"Zenitsu was practicing his Ichi-no-kat too fast and accidentally crashed into a tree."

Lu Li spoke from the side and winked at Shan Yi.

"Ah? Oh, that's it... I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm so stupid."

Zenitsu felt guilty for lying to his grandfather, but he didn't want his grandfather to know the reason why he fought.

Jigoro stared at Zenitsu and Lu Li for a few seconds, then his expression relaxed, "Come and eat, today's porridge is delicious."

He could see that the two children were hiding something, but adults didn't necessarily need to know all of a child's secrets. Anyway, the two brothers looked happy at the moment, so that was good enough.

In the small wooden house, three people gathered around the fire. The steam rising from the hanging pot warmed the slight chill of early spring.

Lu Li, Zenitsu and old man Jigoro each held a bowl of porridge. Zenitsu kept switching his hands because the bowl was hot. Jigoro looked at Zenitsu with a smile. Lu Li blew gently on the porridge with his mouth, causing a misty vapor.

For a moment, Lu Li looked dazed. Not long ago, he also sat around the fire with his master and senior sister. His stomach growled as he waited for the rice to be cooked, while his senior sister served him the first bowl of rice.

But they are all gone.
