Chapter 71: It's me who's counterattacking Luo Qingyao, and you have no evidence
Qin Sangyue frowned upon hearing this, but her words were completely different: "Don't worry about this matter. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I and the other brothers and sisters will do our best to find it for you."
Nan Si Ning knew the task was incredibly difficult, but hearing what her senior sister said did ease her heart. This was a feeling she had never experienced before—no matter how big the task, with someone to share the burden, it didn't seem so difficult anymore.
Nan Si Ning and Qin Sangyue had a discussion on how to deal with Liang Xiao, and they also had some idea of what kind of rare materials and treasures were needed.
After discussing Liang Xiao's matter, Nan Si Ning turned and asked, "Senior Sister, how should we deal with Luo Qingyao's matter with the demon cultivator?"
With such a huge bomb hidden in the sect, Nan Sining always felt like he was living on a bomb.
Qin Sangyue pondered for a moment, then said, "I will investigate this matter with your senior brothers and sisters. If we find any clues, we will report it to the Great Elder."
Nan Si Ning thought about it and decided that this was indeed the best option at the moment. The Great Elder was more fair, more devoted to the sect, and more trustworthy with the extremely selfish Zhao Shiquan. Furthermore, while the Great Elder's position was lower than the Sect Master's, Zhao Shiquan still had to show him some respect.
Now that things were sorted out, Nan Si Ning felt a little more at ease.
Qin Sangyue saw that the moon was already setting outside, so she said, "It's getting late, little sister, go get some rest. Your brothers and sisters and I will be there to handle these matters."
Nan Sining nodded.
After feeding Liang Xiao the heart-protecting medicine, Nan Si Ning returned to his own courtyard to rest.
It was not until this time when he was alone that his fear and worry about the demon cultivators gradually emerged.
Nan Si Ning turned around and saw the little beast staring at him with clear eyes.
Nan Si Ning's heart skipped a beat, but before he could even process the worry in his heart, the little beast grabbed his attention.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." The little beast said bluntly.
I didn't expect him to see through my fear at a glance.
Nan Si Ning said stubbornly, "I'm not scared. I'm just wondering if I can't sleep tonight and whether I should practice."
The little beast actually believed it directly and asked, "So do you want to sleep or practice?"
Monks rarely sleep, and meditation is also a form of rest. However, Nan Sining has not completely changed his modern habits and still likes to sleep.
"I've been busy with the competition lately and haven't had much rest. I better get some sleep first."
The little beast immediately said, "Okay, I'll help you."
As he spoke, the little beast waved his hand, and Nan Si Ning felt his eyes go dark, and there seemed to be a river of stars flowing above his head, and he felt like he was floating in a sea of stars.
When Nan Si Ning woke up the next day, he felt refreshed, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated naturally. He had made another breakthrough!
"I didn't practice last night, how come I improved again?" Nan Si Ning paused for two breaths, thinking about what happened before going to bed last night, and looked at the little beast beside him: "It was you? What did you do to me last night?"
The little beast had already prepared the spiritual spring nectar that Nan Si Ning usually used in the morning, and replied, "It's to help you sleep. You said you couldn't sleep."
Well, he himself didn't know what was going on.
The origin of this little beast is mysterious, and what it can do is even more mysterious. Its ability is like an abyss, which cannot be seen clearly or fully understood at a glance.
It seems that I still don’t have enough experience, so I can’t see any way.
Nan Si Ning didn't think too much about it. After getting up, he went to see his fourth senior brother Liang Xiao, and then followed his senior brothers and sisters to the competition venue.
"The eldest sister has reported the matter of the fourth senior brother to the sect. The reason given was that something went wrong during the training last night and he is not suitable to participate in the competition today. Little sister, don't let it slip." Hua Shengqing reminded Nan Sining as soon as they met.
Nan Sining nodded. She naturally knew the pros and cons of this matter.
In addition to Liang Xiao, everyone was also worried about Zhou Lixing, but Zhou Lixing himself seemed full of confidence.
When they arrived at the stands, everyone from Cijian Peak immediately saw Luo Qingyao sitting in the stands of Yunxiao Peak in a fluttering white dress.
Luo Qingyao looked much better, her complexion was much rosier, as if she was not the one who was blown to pieces.
Everyone at Cijian Peak looked unhappy. Luo Qingyao was able to recover so quickly because she absorbed Liang Xiao's essence.
Luo Qingyao, who was surrounded by the people of Yunxiao Peak like the moon surrounded by stars, was chatting and laughing with the people around her. When she felt the gazes of the people of Cijian Peak, she turned around and smiled, looking particularly peaceful and friendly.
Nan Si Ning rolled her eyes to the sky. She was in a good mood because she had gotten a great deal.
Wu Che touched his chin and said in surprise, "Luo Qingyao was so badly injured by Junior Sister, but she recovered so quickly and came out like a normal person today. Wouldn't others find it strange?"
Nan Si Ning walked towards Cijian Peak and said, "Brother, you don't understand this, right? This is the power of character setting."
"The power of personality?" Curiosity drove Wu Che to quickly catch up with Nan Si Ning.
Nan Si Ning nodded: "Think about it, what kind of impression does Luo Qingyao give to others on a normal day?"
"Uh... friendly? Easy to talk to?" Wu Che also carefully considered his answer, fearing that if he said something wrong, he would make his junior sister unhappy again.
Nan Sining shook his head.
Hua Shengqing curled her lips in disdain. "Fifth Senior Brother is so stupid! Even though she's the Sect Master's last female disciple, she's condescending to all of her fellow disciples and cultivators. Her cultivation isn't that great, yet she's pretending to be an immortal."
Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "Senior Sister is only half right. Luo Qingyao's most important image to the outside world is that of the Sect Master's prized disciple, the darling of the entire sect. Being cared for by everyone at Yunxiao Peak means she can obtain good things that others can't. So, she seemed to be getting better so quickly, and everyone didn't suspect it. It was because they imagined that the Sect Master had given her some precious elixir."
Wu Che nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Hua Shengqing, however, was able to draw inferences from one instance: "Not only that, she usually pretends to be decent and reasonable, which makes everyone think that she would not have anything to do with evil cultivators."
Nan Si Ning affirmed: "That's right."
"What about those who know? Won't they be suspicious? The Sect Master always knows whether he has given her a good pill, right?"
Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "This involves another question - which is more important, the butt or the truth."
Zhao Shiquan was obviously obsessed with money and even if he knew that something was wrong with his disciple, he would not easily make a fuss about it.
I have to admit that Luo Qingyao is very good at manipulating people's hearts.
"Sister, that person keeps staring at you, it's really annoying." The little beast suddenly said.
The little beast has just come into the world and is very intelligent, making it more sensitive to malicious intent.
Nan Si Ning said, "It's really annoying. He stares at me and our Cijian Peak every day, like an invincible fly."
The little beast got Nan Si Ning's approval and immediately felt the urge to show off: "Sister, don't worry about it, just watch me."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. Luo Qingyao, who had been staring at Cijian Peak and his group, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes and couldn't help but screamed, "Ah!"
Nan Si Ning heard the pain in the cry and felt satisfied. He reached out and touched the little beast's head: "I don't know how you did it, but you did it beautifully. But next time you do something bad like this, don't stare at others, otherwise they will know it was you right away."
Hua Shengqing and Wu Che were both upset. What did the junior sister teach them?
The little beast squinted its eyes in enjoyment and rubbed Nan Si Ning's hand with its head.
"I remember, sister."
There was a chaos on Yunxiao Peak because of Luo Qingyao, and soon several people rushed over aggressively, questioning what the people on Cijian Peak were doing.
Nan Si Ning and the others all looked puzzled: "What did we do? What happened?"
Even Zhou Lixing, who has always been honest and simple, did not fall behind.
Nan Si Ning secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, all the members of the sect are showing signs of improvement in their evil ways!
Hua Shengqing immediately jumped up in anger: "You guys at Yunxiao Peak, stop blaming us at Cijian Peak for whatever's going on! Everyone around us saw it clearly, and we didn't even unleash our swords! And you're still talking about our Third Brother coming on stage!"
Others echoed: "That's right!"
The people of Yunxiao Peak were in a state of panic, but they had no way to deal with it because apart from Luo Qingyao's identification, there was no other substantial evidence.
I didn't expect that Ci Jianfeng has become more assertive now and is not as easy to bully as before.
The people from Yunxiao Peak refused to give up and finally pointed at the little beast beside Nan Si Ning and asked, "Who is this person? How did he get into the sect?!"
Before, the little beast was very black and inconspicuous, so no one paid attention to it. After it transformed, although its skin was a little dark, it looked very beautiful and its spirituality was visible to the naked eye.
Nan Si Ning replied calmly, "This is my contracted beast. I brought it from the Strange Fire Secret Realm in Medicine King Valley. Senior Sister Qin and Senior Brother Xiao from Medicine King Valley can attest to this. He saved my life in the secret realm, so I made a contract with him. I plan to keep him in my care from now on. What's the problem?"
The people at Yunxiao Peak saw that the little beast was indeed ignorant, and since it clung tightly to Nan Si Ning with a frightened look, they thought that apart from being good-looking, this thing had no other outstanding features, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
The people from Yunxiao Peak returned in defeat, and the people from Cijian Peak laughed out loud, deliberately mocking them for looking for trouble and then not being able to resolve it, which was useless!
This conflict was seen by many people in the sect, and they had other thoughts in their minds. In the future, when the people and beasts of Cijian Peak went out, they were less excluded and felt more kindness. But that is another story.
Luo Qingyao over there also found that whenever she looked at Cijian Peak, her eyes would sting unbearably. If she forced herself to hold on, her clear tears would turn into tears of blood. But as long as she looked away, she would feel better.
Luo Qingyao knew that this must be Ci Jianfeng's doing, and she could even be certain that it was Nan Si Ning's doing. Ever since she regained her intelligence, her methods had become quite strange and difficult to guess.
But her senior brothers had already been defeated, and she could no longer continue to provoke them.
Soon the Foundation Establishment Competition began. Yesterday, Hua Shengqing shined brightly, and today Zhou Lixing replaced Liang Xiao and became the main force of the competition. This caused a lot of discussion among the disciples from other peaks. Liang Xiao was a sword cultivator after all, while Zhou Lixing was just wielding a pot and spatula. How could they compete?
Thinking about it this way, I finally had some improvement in my impression of Ci Jianfeng's combat power yesterday, but now it has declined a bit.
Zhou Lixing didn't care. After the disciple who would defend the ring was determined, he began his own journey of conquest.
When he took out his big iron pot and iron spoon, those who didn't know the situation were still whispering and mocking him, but those who had a keen eye were already attracted by the pot and spoon.
