The study suddenly became quiet.
Ning Zixiu accidentally knocked the cup next to him to the ground, making a harsh sound and leaving behind a pile of large and small porcelain pieces and a puddle of water stains.
As if to hide his embarrassment, Ning Zixiu coughed lightly, then swept his sleeves, and the broken porcelain pieces on the ground disappeared immediately, and even the ground returned to its original state, and a new set of tea sets appeared on the table.
Shen Jinggu had a slender figure, and even such a humble attitude did not make him feel the slightest bit of shame, with clear and distinct emotions flashing in his eyes.
Ning Zixiu was distracted and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his brow. Looking at Chen Jinggu who was unwilling to get up, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "...You get up first."
He stopped thinking about whether the rumors were true, and he didn't know how to tell his good disciple. What he just said would be questioned by any disciple of Tianyan Sect, even his fellow disciples would be no exception.
"I raised you since you were a child. I know your character very well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have trusted Ning Wan to you."
Although Ning Zixiu dotes on Nannan, he is not stupid and would not really entrust Nannan's lifelong happiness to someone who obviously has hatred towards her.
But he always thought that Chen Jinggu's feelings for his daughter were just out of affection for his master, but he didn't expect...
Alas, he is old after all and doesn’t understand what these young people are thinking.
After Ning Zixiu reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, few people could affect his emotions. The disciples in the sect often felt that their leader was like a perfectly carved wooden man.
Just standing there was enough to scare away a group of cultivators who wanted to provoke the Tianyan Sect.
But Chen Jinggu was different. He had seen many sides of Ning Zixiu, some smiling, some doting, and some frowning and helpless.
The impulsive emotions in Shen Jinggu's eyes gradually faded, and he thought: Perhaps only when it comes to that step, can he use his actions to prove that he can't do such a thing.
Ning Zixiu concentrated, looking at the silent Shen Jinggu, and the words seemed to still echo in his ears.
Forget it, let them be.
Back mountain.
After leaving the study, Shen Jinggu walked into the back mountain without hesitation.
This is the place specially prepared by Tianyan Sect for the disciples to survive the tribulation. The entire mountain is covered by formations to prevent the thunder from falling on other peaks during the tribulation and causing unnecessary casualties.
Because cultivators often come here to transcend tribulations, the back mountain has become the only place in the entire Tianyan Sect where no grass grows.
Looking at the desolate area beside him and the bloodstains on the mountain, Shen Jinggu gathered his spiritual power, stepped on the spiritual sword, stood on the top of the mountain, and then sat cross-legged, concentrating his mind and energy.
He no longer deliberately suppressed his realm, but allowed the spiritual power in his spiritual veins to completely open up some blockages in his body.
Thunder suddenly sounded in the air, and dark clouds gradually rose and covered the back mountain.
"Is this a tribulation?"
The disciples from all the mountains stopped at once and looked at the heretic. They couldn't help but feel curious about who was going through the tribulation in the back mountain this time.
"Looking at this situation, he must be going through a tribulation. I just don't know which fellow Taoist could actually attract such thunderclouds."
"What do you think? Could it be Senior Brother Shen who has already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment?"
For some disciples, the Golden Core Stage is the most difficult stage to cross in the past hundred years. Many people are stuck in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and cannot break through, and many people are stuck in the great perfection of Foundation Establishment and cannot suddenly realize the true meaning of Forming the Core.
The occasional sounds of the Qingshuang Sword followed the thunder from the sky, one falling into Shen Jinggu's ears and the other falling on Shen Jinggu's body.
Inside the Qixing Pavilion, Ning Wan naturally noticed the sudden change in the sky outside, and a sense of foreboding instantly enveloped her heart.
Perhaps she was too anxious, she seemed to have forgotten that she had a know-it-all, and walked straight out of the house.
The back mountain is not far from her peak. It is the second most spiritually powerful place in Tianyan Sect after hers. The reason it was chosen as the place for tribulation is to provide the disciples with enough spiritual energy to draw it into their bodies and transform it into spiritual energy for healing.
Ning Wan didn't bother searching for Shen Jinggu.
He stood on the top of the mountain, wearing the sect's robes, his green clothes fluttering in the wind, the Qingshuang sword in his hand was filled with spiritual power, and above his head was a thick thundercloud.
A flash of white light passed by and rushed straight towards his back. In that instant, a halo of light appeared around Shen Jinggu to resist it.
Although he temporarily dispelled a bolt of thunder, before Shen Jinggu could react, another bolt of thunder fell and hit Shen Jinggu's shoulder, causing his skin and flesh to crack, revealing the bone.
Ning Wan lost interest in looking and wanted to go to the back mountain instead.
[Host, please wait a moment. It's too late.]
[There's a small problem with the male protagonist, so this method won't work as expected.]
Seeing that the host wanted to take action, although Xiao Qi did not want to discourage the host, he still spoke quickly after thinking about the seriousness of the matter, fearing that the host would be injured.
Ning Wan froze when she heard this: This is called a minor incident?
Looking at the thunderbolts falling one after another, Xiao Qi knew that the host's dream of building a foundation was bound to be ruined.
The first heavenly thunder is often the lightest, and the next one is the lightest. After all, it is not something that the host's body and realm can withstand.
Xiao Qi thought that what he saw was the host returning the same way or waiting there, but he did not expect that the host who had originally stopped would continue to go to the back mountain.
[Host, what are you doing? ]
"See? Go find my 'radiant' fiancé."
