Chapter 41: Helping Fifth Senior Sister to Collect Wages, She Doesn’t Take Ci Jian Feng Seriously…
Nan Si Ning was still wondering if this person was the Sixth Senior Brother or the Eighth Senior Brother when he heard Hua Shengqing say, "Sixth Senior Brother, are you slacking off again?"
Oh, it’s Sixth Brother.
Wu Che felt embarrassed when he thought about being caught in the act, and he dared not say a word.
Qin Sangyue asked, "We sent you a message earlier asking you to build a yard for our junior sister. Have you finished it yet?"
Wu Che felt as if he had been rescued and quickly responded, "It's done, it's done. Junior Sister, are you all right?"
Nan Si Ning smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sixth Brother."
Wu Che was immediately overjoyed. "Great! Our Cijian Peak has finally fulfilled its greatest wish. This is a celebratory gift I prepared for you, Senior Brother. It's a defensive magical weapon. You can always carry it with you, Junior Sister."
Wu Che directly took out a small transparent golden ball with a string hanging on it. Although he didn't know how powerful this defensive magic weapon was, the appearance alone was very good.
Nan Si Ning happily took it and said, "Thank you, Sixth Senior Brother. I have a gift for you too!"
As she spoke, she took out a mustard seed bag from her storage ring and handed it to Wu Che.
Wu Che originally thought that Nan Si Ning was just giving him a mustard seed bag, but when he scanned it with his spiritual sense, he found so many things inside, including elixirs, talismans, magic tools and the like.
"This...Junior sister, did you give me your mustard seed bag?" Wu Che asked in surprise.
Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "Of course not. The things inside are all collected by me during this period of time. I don't know what you need, so I prepared a little bit of everything. I hope you don't mind."
Wu Che was immediately deeply shocked. He didn't expect that his junior sister would be so generous!
Wu Che was about to say something else, but Hua Shengqing was getting impatient: "Hurry up and take us to see Junior Sister's new courtyard. If there's anything Junior Sister doesn't like, we'll change it right away."
"Yeah, yes, yes."
On Cijian Peak, the disciples' small courtyards were all gathered together. Originally, when Nan Si Ning hadn't recovered, the brothers and sisters gathered together to take care of her. At that time, she couldn't live independently, so she didn't have a separate small courtyard. Her brothers and sisters all had rooms in their courtyards.
The new residence was clean and tidy, with large trees, flowers and plants in the yard, and a lawn and a small stream behind it. Isn't this a small single-family villa? Nan Si Ning was very satisfied.
Nan Si Ning looked around the house and found nothing wrong. He said to the little beast, "Go pick a room you like. It will be your home from now on!"
The little beast responded obediently: "Okay!"
Wu Che was startled by the sudden sound of the little beast: "It can talk?!"
The little beast had been following Nan Si Ning silently, and anyone would have thought it was an ordinary contracted beast. The key was that it looked strange, but not particularly outstanding, making people think that it was nothing special.
Hua Shengqing said, "It's very powerful, don't underestimate it! Oh, and where are Fifth Senior Sister and Eighth Junior Brother? Why didn't they come to greet us?"
Speaking of the other two, Wu Che's face turned bitter. "Fifth Senior Sister went to Yaofeng to complete a mission and should be back soon. Eighth Junior Brother was imprisoned in the back mountain for breaking the sect's rules."
Everyone was shocked to hear that Eighth Junior Brother was imprisoned. Qin Sangyue asked, "What did Eighth Junior Brother do? Tell us in detail."
Wu Che sighed and said, "It's nothing. After Junior Sister Luo from Yunxiao Peak came back, rumors spread throughout the sect that people from Cijian Peak, especially Junior Sister, had murdered fellow disciples, killed people and stole treasures. They cursed us very harshly. At first, Eighth Junior Brother could tolerate it, but later he couldn't bear it anymore and started to cause trouble for others. As a result, they reported him to the Discipline Hall and arrested him. Sigh... Fifth Senior Sister and I both advised Eighth Junior Brother not to be impulsive, but he just couldn't help it."
"Then how long has he been imprisoned?" Yuan Qing'an asked immediately.
Wu Che calculated the time: "The Discipline Hall said that he was deliberately provoking, causing trouble everywhere, and undermining the sect's rules and order. He must be severely punished, so he will be detained for a month, and he has only been detained for five days!"
"One month?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Liang Xiao frowned and said, "The competition is almost here. If I stay in seclusion for another twenty days, won't Eighth Junior Brother miss the competition?"
Hua Shengqing huffed, "I think the people from the Discipline Hall did this on purpose!"
Zhou Lixing's voice was also muffled: "The Discipline Hall and Yunxiao Peak have a good relationship. It's not surprising that Yunxiao Peak would take this opportunity to embarrass us."
Wu Che looked at his third senior brother in surprise. Why did his third senior brother seem to be smarter?
Qin Sangyue said, "Don't worry for now. I'll go to the Discipline Hall later and sort things out first. Sixth Junior Brother, ask Fifth Junior Sister when she'll be back."
Wu Che quickly took out his jade slip and sent a message. After a while, he said, "Fifth Senior Sister said that she still has a little watering work to do. If I don't finish it, Yaofeng might use this as an excuse to withhold or even refuse to give me the spirit stones for the mission."
Nan Si Ning's head was buzzing after hearing this. How could his fifth senior sister be so easy to bully when she was working for someone else's family?
The others were about to agree and wait, when Nan Si Ning suggested, "Yao Feng is the one in charge of alchemy in our sect, right? I'd like to go and see how my fellow disciples make the alchemy. Is that okay?"
Wu Che advised without hesitation, "Junior Sister, I think we should just forget it. Yaofeng's Uncle Yu is very strict and harsh, and it's very difficult to talk to him. We should not go there and ask for trouble."
Nan Si Ning nodded: "Brother, if you don't dare to go, you don't have to go. Other brothers and sisters can accompany me."
In this short period of time, Nan Si Ning discovered that this sixth senior brother had a strong solitary nature and didn't like dealing with others. It was normal for him not to want to go.
This is probably why Fifth Senior Sister and Eighth Senior Brother both went out, leaving him alone guarding Cijian Peak.
Wu Che suddenly felt that he was disliked by his junior sister. What did she mean by he didn't dare to go?
Thinking that as a senior brother, he couldn't let the younger sister feel intimidated, Wu Che said, "I... of course I have to go with you. You haven't been in the sect for two or three months, so you don't know a lot of things. I... I can explain it to you."
It can be seen that Sixth Brother is working very hard to prepare himself mentally.
Hua Shengqing immediately said, "Let's go! Let's go pick up Fifth Senior Sister!"
Qin Sangyue said, "It's better not to go with so many people. Let's go together. Yaofeng might misunderstand us as looking for trouble when he sees us coming in such a strong force. Third Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, Seventh Junior Sister, you can stay and rest. Sixth Junior Brother, just accompany me and Little Junior Sister."
Except for Hua Shengqing who was a little reluctant, everyone else agreed.
When the little beast heard that Nan Si Ning was going out, he immediately stuck to her, but Qin Sangyue didn't say anything about it.
On the way to Yaofeng, after listening to Wu Che's words, Nan Sining and Qin Sangyue learned that Fifth Senior Sister Li Yunqi had been doing tasks in the sect for the past two months. However, most of the tasks in the sect were done by outer disciples, and few were done by inner disciples and direct disciples. Therefore, Li Yunqi's actions attracted a lot of attention.
Qin Sangyue sighed softly, "Fifth Junior Sister must have felt that our Cijian Peak was running out of money and needed to earn some spirit stones to supplement our household expenses."
Wu Che's silence was considered as his tacit agreement with Qin Sangyue's guess.
After the master lost contact at Cijian Peak, the treatment went from bad to worse, and everyone was trying to find ways to get spirit stones.
Perhaps it was because they knew that Cijian Peak was in urgent need of spirit stones, so Li Yunqi was always treated harshly and deducted from his salary when he was doing tasks. After all, if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, he would be a bastard. It was rare to see direct disciples doing simple tasks, so wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't give them any orders?
Nan Sining never expected that when he came to this world of cultivation, he would see the disgusting faces of capitalists!
This is giving her a bit of PTSD.
"Okay, Sixth Brother, don't be so sad. Starting today, we will sing the songs of the emancipated serfs!" Nan Sining said, rubbing his hands.
Wu Che asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What did Junior Sister mean by that?"
How come this little junior sister can't understand what she says after she regained her consciousness?
Qin Sangyue understood a bit and said, "Little Junior Sister means that from now on, we don't need Fifth Junior Sister to work so hard on missions to earn spirit stones. We will fight to take back what is rightfully ours."
Wu Che thought Nan Si Ning meant that with the return of Senior Sister and the others, Cijian Peak would be better, so he said, "Senior Sister, this competition depends entirely on you."
Nan Si Ning knew that he didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't explain too much because Yao Feng was already right in front of him.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Yaofeng, the gatekeeper came forward with a stern look on his face and said, "No one can enter without the permission of the Peak Master!"
This is a blatant rejection.
Wu Che's face immediately turned red with anger. The people of Yaofeng really didn't take Cijianfeng seriously!
Unfortunately, he is a conflict-avoidant person. He would rather die of anger than quarrel.
Seeing this, Nan Si Ning stepped forward and pulled him behind him. Taking advantage of his youthful appearance and harmless smile, he acted with great respect and said, "Hello, two senior brothers. I am Nan Si Ning from Cijian Peak. I have just returned from training. While training outside, I witnessed the mysteries of elixirs. When I heard my senior brothers and sisters mention Yaofeng, I was inspired to visit. During my training, I was fortunate to find a rare Qingxin Pill, and I would like to give it to Master Yu of Yaofeng."
The one with the mole on his lip said, "Qingxin Pill? It's not a rare pill, so why would you give it to our master so eagerly?"
The disdain in his tone was very obvious.
Nan Si Ning slowly pulled out a jade bottle, waved it in front of the two men, and said, "How can you, two mere outer disciples, understand the profound meaning of this elixir? If you won't let us go to see Peak Master Yu, that's fine. After all, we won't be the ones being punished by Peak Master Yu."
The other male cultivator, who had been silent the entire time, rolled his eyes and said, "The Purifying Heart Pill is indeed a rare elixir for you at Cijian Peak, but it's not rare for us at Yao Peak. I think how about this: you give the pill to us, and we'll pass it on to Master. If Master thinks the pill is truly profound, he'll definitely invite you to join the peak. How do you think?"
He even emphasized the word "xuan'ao" with a joking tone, and it was obvious that he did not take Nan Sining's words seriously at all.
Moreover, Nan Sining could see clearly what he meant. It was obvious that he wanted to keep the Heart Purification Pill for himself.
If the people from Yaowang City said that Qingxin Pill was nothing special, Nan Si Ning might have believed it to some extent, but when the people from Yaofeng said so, Nan Si Ning didn't believe it at all.
After all, the Heart-Clearing Pill was a third-tier elixir. While not as commonly used as the likes of the Rejuvenating Pill, the Small Huan Pill, or the Soul-Replenishing Pill, many cultivators kept a few on hand for emergencies. After all, the Heart-Clearing Pill was extremely effective during times of anxiety. It could also be effective against attacks on the soul and consciousness; using one in a critical moment could save lives.
Does this person really think he is as easy to fool as a three-year-old child?
"That won't do!" Nan Si Ning refused in a serious tone. "You want to borrow my elixir to curry favor with Peak Master Yu? That's absolutely impossible!"
"you--"
The exposed male cultivator immediately became furious and reached out to push Nan Si Ning. Nan Si Ning deliberately took the opportunity to fall back and shouted exaggeratedly: "Hey! Why did you push me!"
Qin Sangyue and Wu Che hurriedly and nervously supported her. Nan Si Ning blinked at them, then deliberately started crying. Qin Sangyue was stunned for a moment before she understood. Only Wu Che was not used to it yet, so he didn't get the signal. He really thought Nan Si Ning was touched and asked nervously: "Little sister, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt? Where did he hurt you?"
The two Dan cultivators guarding the gate seemed to have never seen someone as ruthless as Nan Si Ning. They immediately became furious and shouted, "I didn't touch her!"
"Stop pretending! Get up!"
"You...how can you be so shameless!"
Two people wanted to pull Nan Si Ning away, but Qin Sangyue and Wu Che blocked them tightly and prevented them from getting close. For a while, the gate of Yaofeng Mountain was in chaos and extremely lively.
Nan Si Ning was lying on the ground pretending to be weak, but she was actually very happy in her heart: I spoke to you in a nice tone, but you guys were shameless, so let's make a scene and see who suffers more.
The disciples guarding the gate are not only there to prevent outsiders from entering or leaving, but also to maintain the seclusion of the gate. The commotion at the mountain gate is due to the dereliction of duty of the two disciples.
They thought that Ci Jianfeng would behave himself after being targeted and suppressed like this, but they didn't expect that Nan Si Ning had already mastered the skill of being a tough guy after years of experience in picking up garbage.
Sure enough, not long after, a clear and elegant voice was heard: "What are you guys doing?"
Nan Si Ning was slightly stunned, then he heard Qin Sangyue's voice transmission: "This is Yaofeng's senior brother Wang Xuan."
Nan Si Ning was immediately shocked. Did Luo Qingyao's fish pond get blown up today? Another fish appeared.
Wang Xuan, as the eldest brother of Yaofeng, is also an alchemist. He is much better than Xiao Jingwen in alchemy, looks better, and is smarter. However, because the Yaofeng behind him is far less wealthy and powerful than the entire Yaowang City, Luo Qingyao will be more inclined to Xiao Jingwen when it comes to the two fish.
Wang Xuan was in great pain because of this. He thought that Junior Sister Luo despised him because his skills were not as good as others. He became more and more self-PUA and practiced more obsessively. However, he was going in the wrong direction. The harder he tried, the more unfortunate he became. In the end, this guy also had a miserable end.
Wang Xuan landed gracefully from a height. Nan Si Ning sighed. How could such a handsome Dan cultivator be so blinded by Luo Qingyao? If he had half the clarity of Shen Tangyuan, he would have become a great Dan Dao master.
When Wang Xuan saw the person at the door clearly, he was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be Qin Sangyue.
As the eldest sister of Cijian Peak, Qin Sangyue has always been steady and generous. Wang Xuan could not connect her with the disturbance at the door.
After Qin Sangyue handed Nan Si Ning to Wu Che, she exchanged greetings with Wang Xuan and then recounted what had happened.
Wang Xuan frowned as he listened and asked his two fellow apprentices, "Did Junior Sister Qin say anything wrong?"
The two alchemy practitioners dejectedly said, "Senior Sister Qin is right."
Wang Xuan suddenly felt a mixture of helplessness and relief. He said, "Since that's the case, since you coveted Junior Sister Nan's elixir and obstructed their request to see Master, attempting to deceive your superiors and subordinates and enrich yourself, I will punish you by sending you to the herb fields to work for three months!"
"Yes, Big Brother."
Facing their senior brother, the two men were particularly honest.
Nan Si Ning had stood up with Wu Che's help. Although she didn't shed any tears, the grievance was still clearly written on her face.
"Brother Wang, I don't agree with this kind of punishment."
As soon as the words came out, not only did Wang Xuan frown again, but even Wu Che couldn't help but take a deep breath. People were really afraid of this kind of conflict.
"What are you going to do?"
The tone is really not good.
Nan Sining didn't care. Luo Qingyao had done so much work to create public opinion, and almost the entire Canglan Sect thought that Cijian Peak were the bad guys and were ostracizing them. As Luo Qingyao's favorite, how could Wang Xuan have a good face?
"We are the victims of their deception. Even though you punished them by sending them to work in the medicinal fields, we, the victims, have received no compensation. This is unreasonable!"
Nan Si Ning's righteous voice shocked everyone. Except for Qin Sangyue, everyone else was surprised that Nan Si Ning could find such a tricky angle.
Wu Che was almost suffocating. He felt that punishing two Dan cultivators was enough, so what other compensation did he want?
Unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, Wang Xuan said, "What you said makes some sense. I wonder what compensation you want, Junior Sister?"
Nan Si Ning said, "I knew that you, Senior Brother Wang, are a reasonable and generous person. I don't want much, just three hundred high-grade spirit stones. I'll give one hundred to each of the three of us in our sect as compensation for our mental damages."
Wu Che felt like he was about to faint. This Junior Sister actually asked for such a huge sum! It was terrifying!
The two alchemy practitioners also showed angry expressions, obviously thinking that Nan Sining's price was too high. Three hundred high-grade spirit stones, why not just rob it!
Wang Xuan felt strange. How did Junior Sister Nan know that he had exactly three hundred high-grade spirit stones?
This time, he really had a new respect for Nan Si Ning.
Just when Nan Si Ning thought he had made a mistake and was about to lower the price, Wang Xuan suddenly responded, "Okay!"
Nan Si Ning had Qin Sangyue collect three hundred high-grade spirit stones first. When Wu Che saw Wang Xuan taking out the spirit stones, he was stunned: Is this even possible? Why did Senior Brother Wang agree so readily?!
Qin Sangyue took the spirit stone and said calmly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang."
Like Zhou Lixing, she has now completely adapted to Nan Si Ning's tricks. Anyway, she just needs to trust her junior sister.
After Wang Xuan gave the spirit stones, he also said to his two junior brothers, "One hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones each. Remember to return them to me later."
The two men's faces visibly darkened. "Yes, Big Brother."
Wu Che suddenly felt refreshed all over. He had not expected that his junior sister was so powerful. By making such a fuss, she could get three hundred high-grade spirit stones from Yao Feng!
When walking towards Yaofeng, Wu Che's feet felt like they were floating.
As a person with social anxiety, he greatly admires people like his junior sisters who dare to think and act, and he also respects their courage to fight and demand their own rights.
Therefore, Wu Che looked at Nan Si Ning with a bit of respect, which made Nan Si Ning a little confused.
As they walked up the mountain, Wang Xuan asked about the Qingxin Pill. Nan Si Ning handed him the Qingxin Pill and said, "Brother Wang, if you smell it, I'm sure you'll be able to see some of its mysteries."
This action surprised Wang Xuan again. Just now, Nan Sining was unwilling to give it to his two junior brothers, but now he took the initiative to give it to him. Could it be because he trusted him more?
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan also took the jade bottle, uncorked it, and smelled the fragrance of the elixir.
At first, he could only confirm that this was a top-grade heart-clearing pill, but after smelling it twice, he noticed that there were some differences.
"This Qingxin Pill..."
Nan Si Ning interrupted him directly and said, "Don't ask, think for yourself first. Master Yu will definitely test you later. For the sake of three hundred spirit stones, I'll give you a hint of the question."
Wang Xuan: …
When they arrived at the Medicine Peak Main Hall, Nan Si Ning followed Qin Sangyue obediently to greet Peak Master Yu. Peak Master Yu didn't pay much attention to the three of them, and only asked Wang Xuan, "How is Junior Brother Luo's injury?"
It turned out that Wang Xuan had just returned from Yunxiao Peak.
Wang Xuan said respectfully, "Junior Sister Luo's injuries are recovering, and her condition is getting better day by day. However, Junior Sister Luo really wants to participate in the sect competition, and I would like to ask Master if there is any way to help her recover as soon as possible."
Master Yu Feng did not respond for a long while, but Nan Sining guessed what he was thinking: If I can heal the broken tendons and severe damage to the dantian in such a short time, then I will not be the master of Yaofeng Peak, but the lord of Yaowang City!
After evading the question, Master Yu Feng asked, "What brings you here, my three junior brothers? What's the matter?"
Wang Xuan took the initiative to say: "The three junior sisters and brothers are here to give this Qingxin Pill to Master."
"Oh?" Master Yu Feng seemed a little uninterested. After all, he was also a third-grade alchemist, and the Qingxin Pill was not a rare thing for him.
Seeing that his master didn't seem very interested, Wang Xuan felt a little embarrassed and quickly added, "This Qingxin Pill is indeed a bit mysterious. It's difficult for me to explain it clearly. Master, please enlighten me."
When Master Yu Feng heard his disciple say this, he became interested: "Oh? Then let me take a look."
As he spoke, he took the jade bottle, smelled the elixir inside, and was stunned.
The fragrance of this pill was indeed the fragrance of the top-grade Qingxin Pill, but he could smell that this Qingxin Pill was a little different.
With this in mind, Master Yu Feng took out a bottle of Qingxin Pill from his storage ring, compared the two bottles and sniffed them, then handed them both to Wang Xuan: "Disciple, come and taste them. These two bottles are both top-grade Qingxin Pills. What's the difference?"
Wang Xuan thought to himself, Junior Sister Nan really guessed it, the master gave him a question!
Wang Xuan suspected that Nan Si Ning had some ability to calculate.
Nan Si Ning still smiled harmlessly, which made Wang Xuan feel that she was even more mysterious.
"Yes, Master." Wang Xuan took the two jade bottles and carefully distinguished the differences between them.
Master Yu Feng asked anxiously, "Who made this Qingxin Pill?"
