Having already become familiar with the face before, Qiyue entered the Xiaoyao Sect effortlessly this time.
I also heard a lot of news from inside the Xiaoyao Sect.
Most of them are personal accounts of the relationship between Li Ze and Xia Wanqing.
"Isn't it rumored that Xia Wanqing, the daughter of the Hengyang Sect's leader, is the woman of Luo Wuji, the Holy Son of the Holy Sect? How come she's now involved with Senior Brother?"
"You don't know this, do you? Back in the Tiannan Secret Realm, I personally witnessed that woman save Senior Brother. Plus, I admit that woman is indeed quite beautiful. It's perfectly normal for Senior Brother to like a beautiful woman who saved his life. Besides, when did you find out about this?"
"The Holy Son doesn't like that person from Hengyang Sect at all. It's said that the Holy Son has some kind of leverage over her, which is why she was forced to give her the opportunity to enter the Holy Sect for cultivation ahead of schedule."
"In the past two months, the Holy Son has become different towards that person from the Fanyin Sect..."
"Isn't this relationship too complicated? Besides, hasn't the Holy Son always disliked that person from the Fanyin Sect?"
"Oh well, who cares! What does this have to do with us? I'm more concerned about Senior Sister Nalan right now..."
"I don't know what's wrong with Senior Sister Nalan. Not only does she not get along with Senior Brother, but she also went to see that person from Hengyang Sect a few days ago..."
Where did you hear this news from?
"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard this from an elder. It's pitiful for Senior Sister Nalan. She's injured, but the sect leader, for some reason, is trying to curry favor with the Hengyang Sect and suppressing the news. Senior Sister Nalan is so frustrated..."
"Elder? You can't tell, kid!"
The disciples who had gone down the mountain for training gathered together, discussing amongst themselves. Qiyue frowned. "Nalan Qing is injured?"
Sensing Nalan Qing's presence, Qi Yue finally found her in a cave where a spirit-gathering array had been set up specifically for Nalan Qing.
The girl, dressed in white with many tears and bloodstains on her white dress, had a pale face that was originally rosy, and her breathing was heavy, indicating that she had suffered serious injuries.
Stepping into the spirit-gathering array, Qiyue took out a healing elixir from her spatial ring without saying a word. Nalan Qing opened her heavy eyelids, looked at the familiar face, her pupils contracted, a flash of surprise crossed her face, and tears fell down her cheeks.
"You're still alive..."
"Don't speak." Qiyue wasn't a cold-blooded person. Her breathing was slightly sluggish as she gently supported Nalan Qing's back and put the medicine into her mouth.
Then, he sat cross-legged behind her, channeling his spiritual energy into his palms and sending it into Nalan Qing's body to heal her injuries.
During this time, he fed Nalan Qing many pills until her breathing became steady. Only then did he withdraw his spiritual power and ask in a deep voice.
"Did Xia Wanqing hurt you?"
Nalan Qing nodded and recounted everything in detail.
"About a month ago, Li Ze brought Xia Wanqing back from somewhere. It was late at night, and I saw from afar that Xia Wanqing was covered in blood and was seriously injured. I knew that this matter was not simple, so I followed her."
"Then I heard her tell Li Ze that she had led her disciples to a secret realm and was ambushed by you. Although it was something you were capable of doing, I still felt something was off."
Upon hearing this, Qiyue glanced at Nalan Qing silently.
Nalan Qing smiled somewhat guiltily and said with a little embarrassment, "Don't worry about these details."
He continued, "There's no way to investigate, because after Li Ze healed her, he sent her back to Hengyang Sect before dawn."
"I wanted to see what she was up to, so I followed her for half a month, and guess what I found?"
"What?" Qiyue cooperated readily.
Nalan Qing seemed to have thought of something terrifying.
Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "She's actually an evil cultivator!"
Looking at Nalan Qing, who was still somewhat frightened, Qi Yue felt a pang of sympathy for him. It seemed that this silly child had witnessed Xia Wanqing seizing the cultivation of a cultivator.
Nalan Qing continued, "I was thinking that you, Master, have always wanted revenge, but you don't have a good way to kill her, so you wanted to find evidence to ruin her reputation..."
"So, you went to Hengyang Sect?" Qiyue didn't need to listen to the rest; she had already guessed it.
Nalan Qing asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Finally, she explained, "Actually, I sneaked in, but who knew she had been hiding her strength all along and was now a Nascent Soul cultivator. I'm a talisman cultivator, you know..."
Her voice trailed off at the end.
She was afraid that Qiyue would blame her for being impatient and causing her trouble.
"Don't provoke her unless absolutely necessary." Qi Yue took out some qi-tonifying, blood-nourishing, and calming pills and placed them in her hand, giving her this serious instruction.
Nalan Qing dared not disobey her and obediently nodded, "Yes."
Seeing that Nalan Qing was as obedient as a kitten, Qiyue took out the second part of the secret manual she had given her.
She trusted Nalan Qing, this silly girl, and the stronger this silly girl became, the better she would treat her.
"You need to surpass Li Ze as soon as possible. The closer he gets to Xia Wanqing, the worse it will be for you and the entire Xiaoyao Sect."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiyue gave Nalan Qing two Enlightenment Pills.
"This elixir is precious. Do not let me down, and do not let yourself down either."
"Hmm!" Nalan Qing's heart fluttered.
After leaving the Free and Unfettered Sect, Qi Yue did not immediately go to the Flowing Cloud Sect. This time, she changed her mind and did not rush to see the little wolf cub.
She is going into seclusion to cultivate herself.
Upon returning to Xunhui Sect, the entire sect was unusually quiet, a quietness that surprised Qiyue.
"It seems that Master, my senior brothers and sisters are still in seclusion."
Muttering to herself, Qiyue returned to the South Pavilion and began her seclusion.
