Chapter 16

Nan Xi put away her sword and breathed a sigh of relief, only to then realize that her disciples were looking at her in a daze.

So I was a little confused, "What's wrong with everyone? Am I not a good dancer?"

Her sword had not yet been sheathed, and there was a flame behind her. In the eyes of the disciples, Nan Xi at this moment carried an inexplicable aura and murderous intent.

She took a step forward with the sword in hand. The people in the front felt that they were going to be chopped into pieces in the next moment, so they shook their heads in panic.

"no problem!"

"Sister, you dance so well!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's several times better than Senior Brother Qi Zhao!"

Nan Xi was embarrassed by the compliments. Although she didn't know why the disciples suddenly became so close to her, it was a good thing after all.

[Oops, don't brag! I'm so shy!]

The noisy voices stopped instantly. Nan Xi didn't understand what was going on. The way a group of people were staring at her was still a bit weird. Nan Xi was stunned.

"What happened to you?"

[Why don't you continue to brag? I haven't heard enough. ]

Disciples: “…”

Why didn’t I know that senior sister was so difficult to please before? Oh no, she was difficult to please before, but now she is obviously a little more difficult to please.

A famous disciple turned around, facing the other disciples, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "The sword dance is over, it's time for our night talk, everyone, quickly take out everything you brought."

Night talk?

Nan Xi's eyes lit up.

She was quite familiar with this kind of activity. She lived on campus in junior high school, high school and college, and she knew very well that the so-called night talks were actually gossip exchanges, where they would talk about their ideals in life and tell ghost stories, which was very interesting to listen to.

After hearing what the disciple said, many people started taking things out of their storage bags. Those who didn't have storage bags had already put the things in a large cloth bag.

At this time, they were put out one by one, there were snacks, main dishes, ordinary fruits and spiritual fruits, all kinds of them, it was dazzling.

Someone put out a few large tables, and everyone took turns putting things on them. After most people had left, most people's eyes fell on Nan Xi.

Nan Xi's heart tensed up when she was being stared at. She looked around and, feeling a little guilty, she took out all the delicious food from her storage bag and placed it on the table.

[What do their looks mean? Do they not welcome me? Are they making fun of me?]

[Speak now, I will take charge of the tonight's negotiation! ]

When thinking this, Nan Xi's men subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword. The disciple who was about to explain calmly suddenly became anxious and waved his hands.

"Welcome, Senior Sister! However, it is a rule that everyone has to hand in food. It is not directed at you, Senior Sister! And please do not draw your sword! You must maintain basic harmony among fellow disciples!"

Nan Xi was also startled by the disciple's panic and subconsciously moved his hand off the hilt, only to find that many people were still looking at his sword with fear.

"Junior brother, I won't eat anyone."

"Okay, okay."

Looking at his junior fellow apprentice's horrified eyes, Nan Xi was still a little puzzled.

【I really don’t eat people. 】

The disciples forced themselves to look away from Nan Xi's sword.

It doesn’t eat people, but it can chop people!

After the arrangement was almost complete, the disciples gathered around the table. Someone asked mysteriously, "Have you heard about what happened in the XX sect a few days ago?"

"I heard it! It's really outrageous that someone dared to do this and that in the sect."

"Yes, so many people against one person, how terrifying it is, I dare not even think about it."

"I simply cannot believe this. If you do this in our sect, you will probably be expelled from the sect, right?"

"I heard that the leader was related to the clan leader and was saved, but to be honest, doing such a thing is really shameless."

"Shame on you!"

In addition to being aware of the whole situation, Nan Xi was racking his brains to figure out which sect was involved during this period of time.

[What sect? Huh? Who? What did you do?]

Her pupils trembled. [What do you mean by shameless? What kind of shameless thing? Could it be, could it be...]

The disciples were bombarded by Nan Xi's inner voice, and their eyes kept glancing in Nan Xi's direction unconsciously. Then one by one they saw Nan Xi's expression of heart-wrenching and extreme shock.

Some of them couldn't hold back, and someone kindly said, "Yeah, I don't understand why someone would bully a fellow disciple and force him to kneel down and drill his crotch. How abominable."

Nan Xi's guesses also emerged.

[Could it be that someone is having sex in the sect? Could it be that there is also a group movement? ]

"puff--"

Someone just took a sip of fruit drink and spit it out when he was startled by Nan Xi's inner voice. Most people looked at Nan Xi with their pupils shaking.

Although I have never heard of the term multiplayer sports, I still know what it means when I put it into context.

Nan Xi also heard the disciple's explanation, so he drank a sip of tea in silence.

[Okay, it turns out I was mistaken, so I told you...]

When she looked up and found that everyone was looking at her, Nan Xi was a little confused, but she still nodded in agreement, "It is indeed infuriating, but the perpetrator has not received the punishment he deserves."

Then he silently said in his heart, "Don't blame me for guessing wrong. How can I describe it as shameless... um... ethics, morality, shame, this thing is indeed not in line with what I did, okay. 】

The disciples forced themselves to shift their gaze again, and someone took over the conversation with great strength.

"That's right, but we have to talk about the person who was bullied. Do you know how this incident was exposed?"

The atmosphere immediately became lively again. "I know, I know! He has a good friend who is a direct disciple of a large sect, and that day his friend happened to go to see him. This sight was incredible!"

"His friend's background is really strong. He directly reported it to the sect leader."

"I am a genius after all. I have only been practicing for a short time and I have been humiliated like this."

"Hey? Which sect are you from? We should all know the direct disciples of the sect."

"You don't know this? He's the one closest to us, from the Yuxu Sect!"

The person who was speaking suddenly met Nan Xi's gaze and stopped talking immediately. He subconsciously realized that he had said something outrageous. He looked at the others and saw that they were all looking at him with a look of disappointment.

Everyone knows that for the senior sister, Yuxu Sect and Qiqian are both sensitive words, and no good will come of them in front of her.

Nan Xi met everyone's suspicious gazes, and silently lowered her head to look for something, "Hey, where's my hairpin?"

[Just pretend you didn't hear it, damn it, damn the Zuxu Sect.]

Nan Xi's attitude actually made them feel relieved as if they had survived a disaster, but soon, their worries, which had just been put at ease, were lifted up again.

[They are so annoying, they have already killed everyone.] Nan Xi muttered in her heart, [Let’s move the sharks first.]

Modern surfers know that shark this and shark that is just a way to vent anger. Although it may really have some murderous intent, most of the time it is just talk.

But the cultivation world doesn’t know.

Immediately, the disciples widened their eyes in fear and realization.

It turns out that the person that Senior Sister wanted to kill was not her fellow disciple...

What?! Senior sister wanted to kill Qi Qian?

Nan Xi lowered her head and pretended to look for her hairpin, but she still listened to what everyone was saying, but found that no one was making a sound, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

[Is my influence so great? No one dares to gossip about me? ]

After hearing this, the disciples came back to their senses from their trance and continued to gossip absentmindedly.

"Oh, by the way, last time..."

At this moment, no matter what gossip or disciples of the Yuxu Sect, they could not compare to the shock that Nan Xi brought to them. It was clearly a night talk, but they still could not discuss the matter openly. They could only hold it in. For the first time, they felt the discomfort of being unable to speak.

However, there were still many people who were not affected, and after a while, the atmosphere became lively again.

But...

It tells the story of a monk who was hacked to death for no apparent reason while walking on the road.

Nan Xi: [Ah? Really? When will such a good thing happen to Qi Qian?]

When talking about a certain male cultivator who was rejected by a certain woman and then suffered severe retaliation.

Nan Xi: [That’s great. I want to do that too.]

Even when talking about life ideals, the disciples dreamed of traveling around the world with swords in hand.

Nan Xi: [Ideal? My ideal is for someone to die quickly.]

The disciples were shocked at first, then confused, and finally numb. From beginning to end, they finally understood something very simple.

Does Senior Sister really want Qi Qian to die? !

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask Nan Xi tremblingly, "Does Senior Sister really have to move like that?"

Nan Xi nodded in anticipation, but in her heart she was thinking, "Yes, it has to be him, unless he dies."

As for why Nan Xi wants Qi Qian to die so much, it is understandable. After all, as long as Qi Qian's death has nothing to do with her, the plot will naturally collapse. Nan Xi will not have to follow the plot, and she will no longer be tied to Qi Qian.

So even if she never really had the intention to kill, she really wanted Qi Qian to die.

The disciples shuddered involuntarily.

Judging from the sister's current symptoms, it is not as simple as love turning into hate, it is somewhat pathological.

By the time they had almost finished their food and the night talk was over, an hour had passed and the disciples were about to leave. When Nan Xi walked back, she felt a little unfulfilled.

She knew that the world of cultivation was well-informed, not much different from modern times, but she didn't expect that they could talk about the gossip of cultivators over there, even though they were separated by three continents.

Her courtyard was separate, so when she arrived, her disciples were still on the way.

The senior sister finally disappeared, and the disciples finally had time to discuss her.

"What do you think is Senior Sister's mentality?"

"Why do you want to move together and die together, but you can't leave me?"

"I think that Senior Sister must still love Qi Qian, but she also knows rationally that Qi Qian is not worth it, so in the game between emotion and rationality, she has such completely different thoughts and behaviors."

"You are right. In this case, it is natural for Senior Sister to want to die together. After all, if they die together, she won't have to suffer so much anymore."

"That makes sense, but wouldn't it be dangerous for Senior Sister?"

"That's unknown. If there's something wrong with her cultivation, the Sect Master will definitely be able to detect it. Rather than worrying about this, we should focus on the Qi Migration."

Starting with this disciple, everyone immediately thought of Nan Xi's sinister tone and the murderous intent in it, and then they shuddered again.

Then everyone fell silent again.

"So Senior Sister won't kill Qi Qian anytime, right?"

"I don't think so..."

"Even if you kill us, there's nothing we can do, right..."

The topic of the night talk ended with Nan Xi. For quite some time afterwards, no one mentioned Qi Qian in front of Nan Xi. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that Nan Xi was a love-minded person, and they all got along harmoniously.

Nan Xi also felt that this period of time was pretty good. Apart from her daily routine, she spent all her time eating and sleeping, and had a very comfortable life.

But one day, she was suddenly called by Kazuken and informed of something in a serious tone.

"There will be a joint swordfighting competition in a few days, where the best disciples from the six major sects will compete in fighting techniques. You must participate."

Nan Xi nodded in understanding.

She is the eldest disciple. Although everyone says that her strength is mediocre, that is only mediocre among the outstanding disciples. Therefore, she must participate in this joint sword-fighting competition among the six sects.

"This time, I have only one request." He Jian looked at Nan Xi with sharp eyes.

"That's your best effort!"

Nan Xi was shocked by the sudden increase in voice. She met He Jian's gaze and suddenly felt a little guilty, but she still raised her voice, "Disciple obeys your command!"

He Jian heard this and stared at Nan Xi for a while, but didn't hear any extra thoughts from her, so he stopped.

"That's good to know. You can go down now."

Nan Xi then slipped away, and the moment she stepped out of the door, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

[How can trying to maintain mediocre strength not be considered an effort? ]

With He Jian behind him, veins popped up on his forehead. He clenched his fists and comforted himself for a long time before he decided not to go and settle the score with Nan Xi.

And without revealing his true feelings, even if he forced Nan Xi to promise that he would really try his best, would Nan Xi really do it? Instead of forcing her, it would be better to try other methods.

Halfway through his thought, He Jian's movements suddenly paused.

He quickly realized that Qi Qian would also participate in this fencing competition.

Therefore, regardless of whether Nan Xi tried her best or not, what impact the Qi migration would have on Nan Xi was really unknown. Compared to this, whether to try her best or not seemed not so important.

Thinking of this, He Jian sighed slowly.

Nan Xi didn't know about He Jian's worries yet. She went back and prepared some necessary items until the day of the fencing competition.

Although there are six major sects, they are actually only the major sects in this continent. The Tianyun Sword Sect is one of the five major sects in the world of cultivation. In this continent, it is the undisputed number one. Naturally, the sword discussion meeting is also held in the Tianyun Sword Sect.

On the day of the fencing competition.

Although people had been arriving in the past few days, it was not until the day of the swordfight that the remaining five sects arrived.

Nan Xi had been receiving guests for several days, and today she could finally take a break - another reason was that the Xu Zong was arriving today, and He Jian deliberately let Nan Xi avoid the move.

Nan Xi could only say about this arrangement.

Master does it beautifully!

She stood gracefully with the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect, acting like a senior sister with a calm expression. It seemed that this was the case. Even those who had heard gossip about Nan Xi and wanted to see some excitement basically calmed down after seeing her.

The disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect stood behind Nan Xi, with Qi Zhao and Lian Qianxing standing on the left and right respectively, each with great demeanor and aura.

When they stand in a group, they are very intimidating.

But it only looks that way.

Nan Xi looked calm and composed, but anyone who passed within her sight would be looked at closely by her.

[Is this the one whose pants are exposed? ]

[I remember this guy. He lost to me in the last competition. He doesn't seem to have made any progress. I hope he won't lose to me a second time.]

[Hahahahahahahahahahaha, this guy was the one who got scared last time. Who scared him? Anyway, he just gave in. It was so scary.]

Listening to Nan Xi's complaints, the disciples had a hard time keeping their expressions from changing.

After waiting for a long time until almost everyone had arrived, the surroundings finally became quiet.

The fencing competition is for disciples to compete, and only the ten strongest disciples from each sect can compete in such a competition, and only the top one hundred disciples in terms of strength can get the chance to come and watch, so those who can come here are no fools.

He Jian and the Great Elder stood in the front, and behind them were the elders leading the teams from various sects.

Just to set the scene and explain the rules of the sword conference. In addition to the competitions arranged by the sect, during the sword conference, all participating disciples can compete in a specific place to improve their swordsmanship. This is also the purpose of the sword conference.

Nan Xi's eyes were originally firm and she was looking straight at the opposite side.

But no one knows who arranged this position. Tianyun Sword Sect is directly opposite to Yuxu Sect. Qi Qian is the chief disciple of Yuxu Sect and stands in the front and most conspicuous place.

Nan Xi could only shift her gaze downwards and stare at the ground, not wanting to meet Qi Qian's eyes.

But Qi Yi, who used to look down on her, was now looking at her. His gaze wasn't ardent, but because he was looking at her all the time, his presence was very strong.

Someone noticed the abnormal atmosphere between the two and his eyes moved between them.

As for why Qi Qian would look at Nan Xi, Nan Xi actually knew it. The last apology scene not only made Qi Qian discover the sincerity of the heroine, but also made him discover that the heroine was somewhat similar to Qi Qian's white moonlight in some ways.

Therefore, Qi Qian's attitude changes afterwards, and he treats Nan Xi as a substitute, and their relationship progresses by leaps and bounds.

Fortunately, although it is an old novel, the author wrote it very clearly. At least there is no nonsense or pregnancy or miscarriage. Otherwise, Nan Xi would have died on the spot when she first knew about the plot.

While he was daydreaming, He Jian finished talking, and a curtain appeared in the sky, revealing the two disciples who were to compete in the first match.

One of them is Nan Xi.

The sect that the other person belonged to was the weakest among the six sects, and its own strength was not that strong. Nan Xi knew what was going on with just one look and stepped onto the stage.

The two bowed to each other and then began to compete.

And below the stage, Qi Qian's eyes were filled with the image of Nan Xi during the competition.

To be honest, Nan Xi is very beautiful, with an extremely beautiful face. There is always a hint of stubbornness (determination) between her brows. When her clothes flutter, Qi Qian feels the beauty.

The image of another person flashed through his mind, and his expression gradually softened.

If Nan Xi was more obedient, he could let Nan Xi get close to him.

Qi Qian thought so.
