63 Chapter 63

The story on the screen continued. After returning empty-handed, Nie Xiaoqian naturally couldn't get away with it so easily. As soon as she entered her room, a gorgeously dressed female ghost stared at her from the window outside:

"Hey, you're back so early? I see that monk outside is still alive."

The female ghost was dressed in blood-red clothes, with soft silver hair cascading down. The corners of her lips were slightly raised in a smile that was gorgeous and dangerous. She was the villain female ghost Aruo played by Ning Shu.

She was the first female ghost to come to Lanruo Temple. She was always very strict with her younger sisters who came later, and everyone was afraid of her.

"I...that scholar is too unromantic. No matter how I seduce him, he won't take the bait. I'm too lazy to waste time with him!" Nie Xiaoqian stuttered and made up an excuse.

"Really?" Aruo's lips seemed to smile, but she didn't know if she believed it or not. She turned and left: "Then I'll help you vent your anger. I'll go meet that nerd!"

"No, you can't go!" Nie Xiaoqian stood up in a panic, then realized she had overreacted. She forced herself to pretend indifference: "I'm saying that guy's cultivation is too low. He's only in the Qi training stage. It's not worth making a fuss about it."

"Oh? Really? I don't mind, but the other sisters don't seem to think so~" Arupiao moved closer to Nie Xiaoqian, observing her expression as he spoke: "Just now I saw Yun'er and the others staring at the courtyard with eager eyes!"

"Really? Then let them do whatever they want." Nie Xiaoqian was anxious, but she didn't dare show any flaws on her face. Aruo's inquiring gaze got closer and closer. Just when the audience couldn't help but start to worry for Nie Xiaoqian, suddenly there was a movement in the restriction outside the temple. Aruo could only give up for the time being and turned to go to the outer courtyard to check the situation.

Nie Xiaoqian didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Aruo had completely left. Without thinking about anything else, she immediately returned to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Ning Caichen was packing up and preparing to go back to his room to rest when Nie Xiaoqian suddenly appeared before him. The nerd had no idea how a normal person could be so elusive, and subconsciously smiled, "Xiaoqian, you're back again?"

Although he still stood there and didn't pounce on her, he became happy unconsciously.

Nie Xiaoqian had no time to pay attention to this subtle change at this moment. She was afraid that if she was a step late, the sisters would rush over and eat this stupid man, so she walked up and grabbed the man's arm without saying a word, and said only one sentence: "Follow me!" and began to lead Ning Caichen through the dark and winding corridors.

Ning Caichen did not resist and was subconsciously dragged away by Nie Xiaoqian. He did not know that he was about to be in great danger. He looked down at Nie Xiaoqian holding his hand and his ears turned red.

Oh, they're holding hands already? The audience outside the screen couldn't help but smile knowingly.

As Ji Chuanbai's junior brother, Qi Ling obviously gets more sweet moments.

For example, he had never seen his senior brother so happy before. Even when he won first place in the sect competition, he always looked indifferent. For another example, the eldest senior brother was definitely secretly happy and delighted just now. The expression he was forcing down on his face was too obvious to him...

What does this mean? This means that Nie Xiaoqian is special to Ning Caichen! Absolutely genuine, no falsehood!

As he knocked against the wall, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, and he had a silly smile on his face.

Hehe, hehehehe...

Some are happy and some are sad. The audience who have unknowingly fallen in love with the couple Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are happily eating sugar. The camera turns and Aruo encounters Yan Chixia, a genius swordsman who comes to eliminate monsters in the woods.

The moment Yan Chixia's cool and handsome face appeared on the big screen, several sword cultivators in the audience couldn't help but gasp: "Master Junior Brother? Why is it you?"

Isn't this the love-hate relationship between the Tianyan Sect and the Hehuan Sect? How can it also involve our Qingfeng Sword Sect?

I had heard that the master's junior brother had gone out to experience tribulations, but I didn't expect that he would run here... The expressions of those sword cultivators were complicated, and they had an absurd feeling of eating melons in their own home.

The only thing that made them feel relieved was that the sect leader's junior brother was still the sect leader's junior brother who made them familiar and at ease. His moves were still decisive and merciless. The ice-blue sword energy was filled with murderous intent, and the female ghost was beaten back step by step, and finally fled without a fight.

Fortunately, they were not like Ning Caichen of Tianyan Sect who was bewitched by Nie Xiaoqian and lost his way. The disciples of Jian Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the few sword cultivators who knew Xuan Mo, most of the audience, especially the female audience, were much more excited about Yan Chixia's first appearance.

"Who is this swordsman? He's so handsome!"

"He's so beautiful and has great martial arts skills. I feel so safe!"

"It's a pity that he always has such a cold face, but he's actually quite charming this way!"

As the saying goes, the male lead belongs to the female lead, and the second male lead belongs to the audience. Compared to Ning Caichen, who was with Nie Xiaoqian as soon as he appeared, it is obvious that the cold-faced handsome guy who has no boyfriend and superb swordsmanship attracts more fans.

The plot then took a sharp turn for the worse. Although Ning Caichen escaped the searches of the female ghosts several times with the help of Nie Xiaoqian, and their relationship gradually warmed up, this was the territory of the Black Mountain Demon after all, and they were eventually captured by the Black Mountain Demon himself.

After the two of them experienced severe torture, expressed their true feelings to each other at the critical moment of life and death, and stimulated classic scenes such as the Black Mountain Old Demon, Yan Chixia finally arrived to save the day when they were about to be executed.

No matter how superb the swordsmanship is, two fists cannot beat four hands. Yan Chixia fought and retreated among the female ghosts. After finally finding the right opportunity to stab the Black Mountain Old Demon, he took advantage of the chaos of the female ghosts and grabbed the only human Ning Caichen, and took him away from Lanruo Temple in a few jumps.

At the exit of the bare forest, Yan Chixia put the immobilized Ning Caichen down and untied his ropes. "This is the exit of the barrier. Let's leave first to get reinforcements, and then we'll come back and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Wait, wait a minute! What about Xiaoqian?" Ning Caichen hesitated at the exit. "She disobeyed that so-and-so grandmother. They will definitely kill her!"

"Except for you, there are only ghost cultivators there. Those people are already dead." Yan Chixia held Ning Caichen's shoulders and spoke calmly and rationally, as if the terrifying scene just now had not caused any emotional fluctuations in him. "The most urgent thing is to prevent more victims. Let's go out and get help first."

Ning Caichen stood at the exit of the barrier in silence for a moment, then clenched his fists tightly and said, "My fellow Daoist, please go get some reinforcements. I need to go back and save Xiaoqian."

"Thank you for rescuing me just now." He bowed deeply to Yan Chixia: "I still have some spiritual stones in that ancient temple. When you eliminate the evil spirits one day, you can take them all back and keep them for your own use. Let's say goodbye now." After saying this, he turned and left. His body was still trembling slightly due to being tied up for a long time and the shock just now. He could only stagger along while holding on to a dead tree.

"But your cultivation is too low to defeat them." Yan Chixia's voice remained calm, as if stating an objective fact. "You're clearly too frightened to stand still. Going would be a waste of your life. Even so, are you going anyway?"

Yan Chixia's tone was filled with pure confusion. He tilted his head slightly and asked like an innocent child: "Why?"

In the dim dungeon of Lanruo Temple, Aruo and a female ghost pushed Nie Xiaoqian in. One of the female ghosts entangled her long hair with her fingers and looked at the seriously injured Nie Xiaoqian and taunted her:

"I let you believe those stinky men's lies and angered my grandma. Now that's it, right? That man ran away, leaving you here alone to die~"

"He didn't lie to me. I did it willingly." Although Nie Xiaoqian was kneeling in a corner in a panic, her eyes were unusually calm when she looked at me. "Sister, he's different from the man you met before. He's a very sincere person."

Over the years, these female ghosts have also been sincere. Yun'er once tried to trust a man, hoping that he could take her away from this ghost place, but those men were all treacherous. They ran away without looking back after a night of love. None of them was willing to keep their promise.

"Oh, what's the difference? I think you've really lost your mind!" The female ghost seemed to be hurt by Nie Xiaoqian's words. She glared at her with red eyes and turned away. In the end, only Aruo was left looking at the stubborn and unyielding Nie Xiaoqian:

"You're willing to risk your life and your skills, even to the point of imprisonment, just for a man you've only known for one night? Why?"

A lingering and sentimental background music slowly played, accompanied by a woman's soulful singing. Every moment of their time together flashed through his mind: their first meeting, their playful exchanges, their shared hardships while dodging searches, and the confession of love while tied to a pillar...

Finally, all of this slowly dissipated and turned into Ning Caichen's sincere and determined eyes.

"Because he gave me a flower." Nie Xiaoqian tightly grasped the wrinkled talisman paper in her hand and showed it to Aruo. Although she was in prison, she couldn't help but smile happily: "This is the most precious thing I have ever received in my life."

"Just because of a piece of torn paper?" Aruo felt that Nie Xiaoqian was hopeless, turned around and left shaking his head.

In the dark woods, Ning Caichen paused for a moment as he was leaving: "Because I promised Xiaoqian that I would give her a bouquet of flowers when we leave here."

He staggered away, leaving the audience with only a determined but thin back.

The audience outside the screen watched this scene and felt quite emotional.

"So that disciple of Tianyan Sect is so infatuated..."

"Is this still the same cold and heartless Wuqing Dao monk?"

"Not only Ning Caichen, but that Nie Xiaoqian is also willing to sacrifice her life for her lover. She's truly a person of character..."

"It seems that there are kind-hearted disciples in the Hehuan Sect who are loyal to their partners. I'm a little envious of Ning Caichen."

"It's not just Nie Xiaoqian. Look at that female ghost named Yun'er. She was obviously hurt badly by a man and that's why she's like this now!"

"Alas, these female cultivators have such a miserable life. Why can't they find a good man..."

Qi Ling, who was sitting in the audience and was particularly immersed in the show because she had seen more sweet things, was now moved to tears by the two-way dedication of this couple.

Woo woo woo, I knew Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were real!

I can be lonely all my life by practicing the ruthless way, but these two lovers must finally get married!

【Author’s words】

Qi Ling: The ruthless way just means I can’t fall in love, but it doesn’t stop me from supporting my CP!

Thank you all for your love for this article. I'll update two chapters today! A word of warning to the newbies: the author is a pathetic office worker. I can only find time to write after work every day, so I'll still update 3,000 words a day from now on (that's already my limit [covering my face and laughing and crying]). Please don't vote for more, because even if you vote, I won't add more chapters... Of course, I won't stop updating unless there's an accident, so don't worry!
