Chapter 133: Who is the Heart? Sect Mission (Six Thousand)
Faced with Li Xiaonuan's threat, everyone did not feel scared, but instead found her quite cute.
"Senior Sister Nuan, why are you blushing? Did we get it right? Haha..."
"Senior Sister Nuan, I've seen you twice recently. Don't you need to practice?"
"Who exactly is this Yuanyang Mountain Elder? I don't have any impression of him. It seems I rarely see him."
"Senior Sister Nuan, can you tell us in private who Senior Sister Wen likes? We promise not to tell anyone."
Everyone joked.
Of course, no one would really think that Li Xiaonuan and Lai Yang had any ambiguous relationship.
Judging from the way the two of them get along, they are more like kind elders and younger generations rather than Taoist companions.
Li Xiaonuan is very popular in Wenxian Sect, which is completely different from Li Xiaowen who gives people a cold and elegant feeling, like a flower on the mountain top.
"My sister has to go into seclusion for a while recently, and I won't be able to see her. She hasn't told me about this, and I don't know about it." Li Xiaonuan turned to look at everyone, shook her head gently, and began to explain.
"Don't you guys often stay together? Senior Sister Wen doesn't usually do anything out of the ordinary."
"Yes, for example, when she sees certain people, she will subconsciously stare at them."
"It's hard for me to imagine that Senior Sister Wen would do something like that."
Everyone was talking at once, and more and more people gathered.
At this moment, Lai Yang suddenly interrupted and said, "I need to remind you that gossip time is also considered a spirit stone."
"What the hell!?" Upon hearing this, the disciples who came to Yuanyang Mountain to practice fire-attributed skills were all shocked and hurried back to practice.
One can eat melons, but one cannot waste spirit stones. They need at least ten spirit stones to practice for one hour in Yuanyang Mountain.
"Seeing that you are doing so well in the Wenxian Sect, I feel relieved." Lai Yang turned to look at Li Xiaonuan and smiled faintly.
"Hmm? What do you mean sir? Eat it?" Li Xiaonuan tilted his head in confusion.
"So it means that you have good relationships with people, and Xiao Wen has gone into seclusion to practice meditation?" Lai Yang changed the subject.
Li Xiaonuan nodded and explained, "Well, my sister is going to break through the sixth realm."
"Where's Chu Xiao?"
"Junior Brother Chu has been practicing spearmanship recently."
"So in the end, you are the one who is being lazy. If you don't practice well, you will be left further and further behind by them in the future."
"I have also been practicing very hard. I have already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. If you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to achieve the Dao." Li Xiaonuan said seriously.
Lai Yang smiled faintly and said in a clear voice: "Indeed, your talent is no worse than your sister's."
Gradually, time flies by, and years slip away quietly like sand in an hourglass.
Two years later, Li Xiaowen broke through the heart tribulation of Hedao and achieved the sixth realm of Taoism. The powerful movement immediately attracted the attention of Lan Qingxian.
Sensing the movement in the back mountain of Xianfeng, Lan Qingxian instantly appeared at the place where Li Xiaowen was in seclusion.
At this time, Li Xiaowen had successfully come out of seclusion. His vast and majestic aura seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth. With a wave of his hand, he could easily gather the water element energy between heaven and earth and use it for himself.
"Xiao Wen, congratulations, you have achieved the Dao." Lan Qingxian's eyes showed a look of relief.
"Thank you, Master." Li Xiaowen bowed respectfully to Lan Qingxian.
"Although you have broken through the sixth realm, you must not be proud and complacent. You still need to consolidate your realm. There is still a long way to go."
Lan Qingxian nodded and made a casual suggestion.
"Disciple, I understand." Li Xiaowen nodded with a firm look on his face.
Li Xiaowen always gave her peace of mind, so Lan Qingxian didn't say anything more and turned away.
Li Xiaowen watched Lan Qingxian's departing back, hesitated for a moment, looked in the direction of Yuanyang Mountain, and flew away.
I haven't seen you for two years. I wonder how he is doing.
Li Xiaowen recalled the scene when he experienced the heart calamity of Hedao, and couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.
Soon, Li Xiaowen appeared near Yuanyang Mountain. She released powerful spiritual consciousness to search for the person she was thinking of.
After a while, Li Xiaowen found Lai Yang's leisurely figure in a mansion.
In addition to Lai Yang, Li Xiaowen actually found Li Xiaonuan practicing quietly beside him, and the picture of the two getting along was very harmonious.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaowen couldn't help but be stunned.
She subconsciously recalled the scene in the Hedao Heart Tribulation where her husband and his sister Xiao Nuan became Taoist companions and then abandoned her, and she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Li Xiaowen entered Lai Yang's yard with a cold expression on his face, like a high mountain flower blooming in the world of immortal cultivation.
Lai Yang sensed a familiar breath when Li Xiaowen appeared nearby.
Seeing Li Xiaowen coming in, Lai Yang put on a smile on his face and asked softly, "You are out of retreat, have you successfully broken through the sixth realm?"
Li Xiaowen nodded silently, seeming a little nervous.
"Congratulations, you will be a powerful person in the Hedao realm in the future. Your cultivation level will surpass mine in the near future, haha." Lai Yang showed a happy smile.
Lai Yang's current spiritual realm has entered the fourth level of the sixth realm. Although he has an advantage in combat power over those at the same realm with mixed spiritual roots, subsequent breakthroughs are becoming increasingly difficult, and the resources required for cultivation are enormous.
Lai Yang has already consumed a small portion of the resources looted from the previous battle. He will slowly practice and accumulate some physical strength in the future. It is still early for him to break through and overcome the tribulation.
Li Xiaowen did not comment, turned to look at Xiaonuan who was in a state of cultivation, and could not help asking: "Why is Xiaonuan here?"
"You went into seclusion to break through, and Chu Xiao was also immersed in cultivation every day. He was bored so he came to me to relieve his boredom. In addition, the fire attribute spiritual energy on my Yuanyang Mountain is rich, which is just right for Xiao Nuan to practice. I let her practice here well." Lai Yang explained lightly, "Also, there is a fire attribute ground vein at the foot of Yuanyang Mountain. I can use the formation to borrow the power of this ground vein to help Xiao Nuan cleanse her marrow and strengthen her bones, improve her physical strength, and help her achieve the Dao as soon as possible."
"Sir is so nice to Xiao Nuan." There was a hint of sourness in Li Xiaowen's tone.
Lai Yang didn't hear the hidden meaning in Li Xiaowen's words, and smiled lightly: "It's not good or bad, it's just a small favor. Xiaonuan has good qualifications, but she is a little playful and lively. I will help if I can. If it were you, I would do the same."
Hearing this, Li Xiaowen's expression froze, and his ears turned slightly red: "Then... sir, between me and Xiaonuan, who do you like more?"
Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, and Li Xiaowen looked at him nervously, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Do I even need to ask? I like both you and Xiao Nuan, so how can I say which one I like more? You won't be jealous of Xiao Nuan, will you? Haha..." Lai Yang said with a teasing smile.
How could Li Xiaowen not see that Lai Yang was teasing her on purpose? Her pretty face showed a hint of shame and anger, and she snorted, "Humph, who is jealous of Xiaonuan? Sir, don't talk nonsense, I'm not."
"Okay, I'm just kidding you, come and eat the spiritual fruit."
Li Xiaowen obediently walked up to sit next to Lai Yang, picked up the Yuan Yang fruit in front of him and began to eat it silently in small bites.
The sun was shining brightly today, and the bright sunshine fell on the three of them, reflecting the delicate and beautiful profile. A few strands of black hair fell by the ears and fell in front of the broad chest. With a casual glance, the perfect collarbone as white as jade appeared in the eyes, which was extremely moving.
Li Xiaowen noticed Lai Yang's gaze. Although he remained expressionless on the surface, his heartbeat quickened slightly.
Lai Yang hesitated for a while, thinking about how to start the conversation.
"Xiao Wen, when I first met you, you and your sister were malnourished, pale and thin, as thin as bamboo poles. Unknowingly, more than 30 years have passed, and you have grown up and become more and more beautiful." Lai Yang said slowly.
Sir, you praised me for being beautiful? What does Sir mean?
Li Xiaowen was slightly startled, put down the half-eaten spiritual fruit in her hand, looked at Lai Yang with her beautiful eyes as charming as autumn water, and said sincerely: "My sister and I can have what we have today, thanks to the life-saving grace of the gentleman. Xiaowen will never forget it."
Lai Yang showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, as if he had accidentally messed up.
He originally wanted to hint at it indirectly, but he was not good at talking and suddenly brought up the topic of saving his life. What should he say next?
"Ahem, that's not what I meant. Let the past be the past. What I want to say is that you and Xiao Nuan have grown up, and you are both powerful cultivators in the world of cultivation. I think there will definitely be many geniuses around you."
"Xiao Wen, I understand what you mean. You want me to practice hard and not be too ambitious. There are so many geniuses in the world of immortal cultivation. My cultivation level is nothing."
"No, no, no. What I want to say is, among so many outstanding people, is there anyone who attracts you and wants to become a Taoist partner with them?" Lai Yang simply laid his cards on the table and asked.
Lai Yang really wanted to know which pig in the world of immortal cultivation had stolen the cabbages from his house.
Li Xiaowen was stunned, and a blush instantly appeared on her beautiful face: "Why do you ask that, sir?"
"I watched the fight between Chu Xiao and Fang Yi earlier. Besides, the rumors about you are so widespread that everyone in the Immortal Sect knows about it. I can't help but know about it even if I want to."
"Don't worry, just tell me boldly. I promise I won't tell anyone else a word."
"So, which sect do you like? Is it from the Immortal Sect or another sect? What are his qualifications and cultivation? Do you know his character?"
Lai Yang's eyes showed his enthusiasm for gossip and he asked curiously.
There is no other way. Normally, practicing is too boring and there is no entertainment. It is more interesting to listen to gossip.
What's more, this matter is related to Li Xiaowen. She admitted it herself, so he would naturally pay more attention to it than other messy gossip.
Hearing this, Li Xiaowen remained silent, lowered her head in shame, and her snow-white ears and neck turned red.
Don't be fooled by her usual cold and aloof appearance. When it comes to Taoist companions, she has no experience at all, so it's normal for her to feel shy.
Seeing this, Lai Yang did not continue to ask questions. He knew that asking in this way would not get any results, so he chose to change the subject directly.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I won't force you."
"How did you get to know Fang Yi? To be honest, I think he's a pretty good guy. Although he's a bit overbearing, he keeps his promises. And I can see that he really likes you, otherwise he wouldn't have done that and wouldn't have used his power to bully you."
Lai Yang did not hide his admiration for Fang Yi in his words.
Lai Yang had heard of many people who got together impulsively after being instigated by others, but most of them ended up miserably, and only a few of them could actually make it to the end.
Just from the fact that Fang Yi was willing to offend so many people at the scene in order to protect Li Xiaowen, it can be seen that he is indeed a good person.
"Fang Yi is a good man, but I don't have any feelings for him. I have explained this to him many times, but he just doesn't want to accept it." Li Xiaowen looked up at Lai Yang's face firmly and said seriously, "Sir, you have to believe me. I really don't like anyone else."
Lai Yang was stunned. He saw a look of grievance and sadness in Li Xiaowen's eyes, and he suddenly panicked.
He just wanted to eat some melon, but he didn't want to make Li Xiaowen cry.
If other people from the Wenxian Sect saw him making Li Xiaowen cry, given Li Xiaowen's popularity in the Wenxian Sect, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths.
"Of course I believe you. Feelings can't be forced. If you don't like it, then don't like it. I won't say anything about it."
Lai Yang quickly comforted Li Xiaowen, thought for a moment and said, "So you deliberately lied to them. In fact, you didn't have a Taoist partner in mind, right? The rumors spread so widely inside and outside the Wenxian Sect that I almost believed them. Damn the rumors, they hurt people."
As he said this, Lai Yang sighed.
The corner of Li Xiaowen's eyes fell on Li Xiaonuan who was concentrating on practicing beside her. Her mind couldn't help but recall the scene when she was overcoming the Dao Heart Tribulation, and she suddenly felt confused for a moment.
She suddenly realized that she had fallen far behind her sister without realizing it.
Compared to her lively, cute and clingy sister who has been fond of clinging to her husband since she was a child, she has almost no advantage.
Even if Lai Yang didn't say it, Li Xiaowen knew that compared to her cold self, her younger sister Xiaonuan was definitely more lovable and worth liking.
The Dao Heart Tribulation will transform into the thing a person fears most in his heart, in order to shake the other person's Dao heart.
The mental calamity of the Tao does not come out of nothing, but is something that actually happened or is likely to happen. Only by breaking through the mental calamity can one achieve the Tao.
Although Li Xiaowen finally succeeded in breaking the mental tribulation, he did not completely get out of it and was still affected by some factors of the mental tribulation.
Li Xiaowen felt her mind was in a mess. She was suddenly very afraid of losing and mustered up her courage.
"I didn't lie to them. I do have someone I like."
"He saved me and gave my sister and I hope to survive. He is the salvation of my life and my light."
"Besides him, there is no room in my heart for anyone else, so I won't fall in love with anyone else."
Li Xiaowen's pretty face turned red, and she stood up and shouted excitedly: "Sir, I...I like you, I want to be your Taoist partner!"
For a moment, Lai Yang was stunned and looked shocked.
What the hell is going on? He ended up eating the melon on himself?
The person Li Xiaowen really likes in her heart is actually him! ?
The moment the words came out of her mouth, Li Xiaowen's eyes suddenly cleared up. What did she just say? !
She had always kept this feeling hidden and never told anyone, not even her closest sister Li Xiaonuan.
Because she was afraid that some words, once spoken, would cause irreversible consequences.
As long as she could see her husband, be with him, and occasionally receive his praise and touch, she felt satisfied.
However, the mental tribulation of breaking through the He Dao completely disrupted her state of mind, causing her to act irrationally on impulse.
Everything that was built with great difficulty before may be destroyed in an instant.
However, before Li Xiaowen could react, a shocked voice suddenly rang in their ears: "Sister, the person you always wanted to be your Taoist partner is actually Mr.?"
As luck would have it, Li Xiaonuan woke up at this critical moment, with her mouth open in surprise.
Lai Yang felt extremely embarrassed and had a strong sense of social death.
The grass is too lush. There’s no hole in the ground. I really want to hide in one.
"Xiao Nuan, you heard everything." Li Xiaowen looked at Li Xiaonuan with a complicated expression, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Sister, you don't like Fang Yi because the person you like is Mr., right?"
Faced with Li Xiaonuan's question, Li Xiaowen didn't know how to answer.
Things have come to this point, there is no room for regret, Li Xiaowen had the idea of breaking the jar in his heart, nodded vigorously and said: "Yes."
"That's great. My sister likes Mr., I like Mr., and I like my sister too. My sister wants to be Mr.'s Taoist partner, and I want to be Mr.'s Taoist partner too. Then, can the three of us be together forever?" Li Xiaonuan said with a happy smile.
puff!
Damn, what a lewd word.
"Actually, Xiao Nuan has been struggling in her heart. If my sister really likes someone else, but I don't like him, and my sister wants to go with him, I will feel very sad. It's great that the person my sister likes is Mr., so that the three of us don't have to be separated."
"But if we become Master's Taoist partner, then Junior Brother Chu will have to call us Senior Sister or Master's Wife?"
Chu Xiao: A-choo!
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, so Lai Yang quickly interrupted Li Xiaonuan.
I really don't know if she really doesn't understand, or if she is just a bit naive but has a bit of a dark side.
However, after she made such a fuss, the awkward and tense situation was indeed eased a lot.
"Hehe, Xiao Nuan, don't talk nonsense." Lai Yang glanced at Li Xiaonuan and scolded softly.
"You are kidding me. I am serious. I have seen many people in Wenxian Sect have more than one Taoist partner. Why is it wrong for my sister and I to become your Taoist partners? Could it be that you dislike Xiaonuan and my sister and think that we are not worthy of being your Taoist partners?" Li Xiaonuan asked sharply.
"Of course not, why would I think that?" Lai Yang denied it subconsciously.
Li Xiaonuan smiled, ran to Li Xiaowen, took her arm, and said in a tender voice: "Sister, the master has agreed, what do you think?"
Li Xiaowen stared at Li Xiaonuan blankly, and saw that pair of bright and moving eyes were filled with sincere emotions that were hard to refuse.
"Um."
At this moment, the woman's blushing cheeks are better than thousands of intoxicating love words.
"Are you serious?" Lai Yang asked in disbelief.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan didn't say anything. They looked at each other and nodded seriously.
Then, Li Xiaowen came closer, her beautiful face was within reach, and she said affectionately:
"I wonder if you still remember, sir, from the night I planned to give myself to you, but you chose to reject me and even advised me to live more for myself, my heart has belonged to you. Sir, please let Xiao Wen be your Taoist partner."
Afterwards, Lai Yang felt the other party's awkward yet serious kiss on his mouth, and his head was a little dizzy.
Who could refuse this?
It's all over now. I have completely lost myself.
Li Xiaonuan blushed, subconsciously put her hands in front of her, quietly opened her fingers, and murmured: "Sister... you are so bold..."
After a long time, the two separated.
Lai Yang waved his hand and set up a powerful space restriction around him to prevent others from approaching or spying on the place.
Lai Yang reached out and picked up Li Xiaowen, who was lying limp in his arms like a puddle of water, in a princess hug, then turned and walked into the house.
Then the two began to practice the method of dual cultivation.
…
After it was over, Lai Yang passed on the same dual cultivation method to Li Xiaonuan, and everything was settled.
…
In this way, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan usually returned to the Immortal Peak to practice, but they would often go to Yuanyang Mountain alone or in pairs to find Lai Yang to discuss the method of dual cultivation. The three of them improved their realm rapidly.
However, taking various reasons into consideration, they have no plans to announce the relationship between the three Taoist companions to the public for the time being.
Of course, Lai Yang did not deliberately conceal it.
Even if the people of Wenxian Sect find out one day, he won't care. He is a man who dares to act and take responsibility.
With his current strength, he could fight for his life without using the Tianyuan Burning Life Skill.
Unless the Seventh Realm Elder of the Wenxian Sect takes action to bully the weak, no one can be his opponent, and he is not afraid of anyone.
Not long after, a familiar and powerful aura suddenly appeared in Yuanyang Mountain.
Lai Yang was startled and suddenly became nervous.
Because the person who came was not Xiao Wen or Xiao Nuan, but their master - Lan Qingxian!
And it seems that the person here has some bad intentions, like he is here to call for punishment. Could it be that he has been exposed?
It is very likely that it is. Lan Qingxian is a powerful person at the peak of the Tribulation Realm. How could she not see that Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan's Yuan Yin bodies were broken?
"What is coming will eventually come." Lai Yang made up his mind and immediately left the room and walked into the yard.
Lan Qingxian was already standing in the courtyard, wearing a red dress with long hair fluttering in the wind. Her temperament was transcendent and untainted by dust.
Lai Yang stepped forward and bowed, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Master, are you here to tell me something?"
"There's a problem with the Fu Sheng Dynasty, a subsidiary force of the Wenxian Sect. You take Xiao Wen, Xiao Nuan, and Chu Xiao with you to solve it. It'll be like some experience. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. You'll need to prepare for the next two days." After saying that, Lan Qingxian stepped into the void and disappeared without saying a single extra word.
Lai Yang looked at the direction where Lan Qingxian disappeared with a puzzled look on his face.
So she came here just to ask her personally to take Xiao Wen, Xiao Nuan, Chu Xiao and the others on a sect mission?
I thought Lan Qingxian would definitely make things difficult for him.
Is he judging others by his own mean standards?
