Chapter 120 Awakening

The crescent moon hangs obliquely in the sky, and the cold moonlight shines through the branches and leaves of the trees, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.

Nan Xiao walked into the room where Lu Huai lived. The room was illuminated only by the faint light emitted by two beads.

She moved a small stool and sat down beside his bed.

The boy's face was as pale and bloodless as it was during the day.

Nan Xiao held her chin with one hand and chattered to the unconscious Lu Huai about what had happened along the way, not caring whether he could hear her or not.

"I'm telling you, you can't imagine how thrilling this journey was... Second Senior Sister and I encountered an evil cultivator. This evil cultivator also had a cauldron that released many black shadows. The scene was terrifying... Later, on the way back to the sect, we were dragged into a secret realm and almost couldn't get out..."

"Oh, right, I've prepared a gift for you. Of course, there are gifts for the eldest and third brothers. This is a spiritual fruit I picked by myself when I went into the demon beast herd alone. After eating it, the fourth brother broke through to the Golden Core realm. If you don't get better soon, I'll use this good thing myself. Don't blame me when the time comes..."

By the end of the story, Nan Xiao felt tired. He held his head with his hands and closed his eyes in a daze.

What she didn't know was that the boy, who had no consciousness at all, moved his fingers after she closed her eyes.

Qiao Yue also lived next door and wanted to come and see how her junior brother was doing. When she pushed the door open, this was the scene she saw.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window onto Nan Xiao, and the halo dyed her black hair. In the warm light, she looked peaceful and beautiful.

My junior sister is usually very active and likes to make trouble, so it's rare to see her so well-behaved and quiet.

She must have been exhausted after the journey. Qiao Yue walked over to Nan Xiao and was about to wake her up, telling her to go back to her yard to rest while she looked after her.

She was about to speak when her eyes suddenly met the gaze of the young man on the bed, and both of them were stunned.

Qiao Yue reacted quickly, with joy in her eyes.

She said, "Little Junior Brother, are you awake?"

There was a brief moment of confusion in Lu Huai's eyes, but when he heard the person calling him like that, he quickly guessed her identity.

Among his fellow disciples, the only one he had not met was his second sister.

He called out weakly, "Second Senior Sister?"

Qiao Yue said with concern: "It's me, little junior brother, when did you wake up? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yesterday, I took a quick look and didn't get a clear look at my junior brother's appearance. Now that I see him, he is also a good-looking man with bright eyes and white teeth.

Lu Huai tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. It's nothing serious. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after resting for two days."

The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, and Nan Xiao himself was a cultivator with sharp senses. He woke up the moment the two of them were talking.

She went up to Lu Huai, held his wrist, and checked his body. Compared with yesterday, he was indeed much better.

Lu Huai used his hands to support himself on the bed, trying to sit up. Nan Xiao quickly stopped him.

"Okay, stop messing around and lie down."

"Oh." Lu Huai lay still obediently. He curled the corners of his mouth, looked at her intently and said, "Xiaoxiao, this is my gift."

Nan Xiao was stunned: "........."

She withdrew her hand, stared into his eyes and asked inquiringly, "Did you hear everything I said last night?"

"Well, you promised to give it to me, and you are not allowed to embezzle it."

"Okay, here you go." Nan Xiao took out the things he had prepared earlier from his storage ring and placed them on the table beside him. "But, tell me the truth, how did you get yourself into this state?"

Master said the sect hadn't been invaded by outsiders, and there were no signs of fighting here, so it was clear he wasn't forced. Eliminating all possibilities, it seemed like he had done it on his own...

Lu Huai answered with a confused look on his face: "I don't know."

Nan Xiao asked uncertainly, "How did you get yourself into this state? Don't you know?"

Lu Huai thought about it seriously and replied, "I really don't remember. I just remember that day was just like any other. I went to class and practiced sword fighting, then came back to rest. I don't know what happened, but I felt panicked, and then I didn't know anything."

“When I regained consciousness, I felt Master and the elders transmitting spiritual energy to me every day, and then I listened to them discuss this issue.”

"However, I didn't stay awake on purpose to worry Master and the others. I was really tired and couldn't open my eyes."

Nan Xiao: "Then why are you awake now?"

Lu Huai: "When I heard you were going to take back the gift you gave me, I woke up anxiously."

"You don't know, I'm really broke right now. I went down the mountain and bought some resources for cultivation, but within a few days, I ran out of them and even the spirit stones..."

Nan Xiao: “…………”

My goodness, how come this guy is even more like a miser than her now.

Qiao Yue held her forehead and smiled.

If Master and the others knew that their careful care for Junior Brother every day was not as effective as a word from Junior Sister, they would be so heartbroken.

Nan Xiao didn't give up and asked, "Think harder, have you forgotten any details?"

Lu Huai shook his head.

He seemed to have had a dream while he was in a coma, but he couldn't remember the scenes in the dream, which shouldn't be important.

…

Qiao Yue and Nan Xiao looked at each other and saw that Lu Huai didn't look like he was lying.

So what's going on?

The two of them discussed it and decided that they didn't understand any of this, so they decided to go find their master.

Qiao Yue used the spiritual jade to inform Lin Jingyuan that Lu Huai had awakened, and directly called him over.

After a while, Lin Jingyuan arrived.

Several people gathered around him and told him everything that had just happened.

Lin Jingyuan first checked Lu Huai's body, and after a while he said, "I can't tell what caused it yet."

He asked, "Xiaolu, besides feeling tired, do you feel anything else unusual?"

Lu Huai shook his head.

Lin Jingyuan said, "Then take care of it first. If you feel any discomfort or any abnormality in your body, you must tell me immediately."

"good."

Lin Jingyuan fixed his gaze on Nan Xiao and the other two: "Don't just stand there, the sect competition is in half a year. What are you still standing here for? Go practice."

I can't count on the eldest disciple anymore, I just hope the younger disciples can show some strength.

His requirements are not high. Even if he can't get first place, being in the top five is good enough.

Otherwise, he would not be able to face the ancestors of Xiaoyao Sect in the future.

Nan Xiao and Qiao Yue: “…”

They had just returned yesterday, and the master was so happy to see them, but in just one day, they turned from treasures into weeds.

Master only cares about their master-disciple relationship for one night?

They both answered at the same time: "Yes, Master."

Nan Xiao and Qiao Yue left the hospital.

Qiao Yue said, "Junior Sister, I'm going down the mountain to buy some talisman paper. Do you want to come with me?"

Nan Xiao sighed and refused: "Senior Sister, I won't go."

She really needs to calm down and improve her magical weapons and thunder.

"Okay then. If there's anything you need to bring, text me again."

"Uh-huh"
