Chapter 17
Nan Xi's opponent in the first round could be said to be vulnerable, and based on his character, he was able to win easily.
When she was leaving the stage, she glanced over at Qi Qian and knew at a glance what he was thinking.
Because she had to follow the plot, the system provided her with the original novel. In the beginning, she tried to understand the original heroine's thoughts and read this masterpiece countless times. In the end, she found that she could not understand it. When it came to following the plot, she could only do superficial work.
But it was not without gain, because she was familiar with the plot, and in the days that followed, she knew what Qiqian was thinking at a glance.
[Tsk, a malicious look.]
She was too lazy to even complain, and cursed in her heart after just one look.
The people from Tianyun Sword Sect couldn't help but look at Nan Xi. They were quite curious about what kind of look could make Nan Xi curse at them in such a malicious way.
The monks had sharp senses, and those who were here were all outstanding. It didn't take long for them to notice Qi Qian. The way Qi Qian looked at Nan Xi was very different from before. He looked like he was staring at her without any emotion, but after staring for a long time, he could actually see some tenderness in his eyes.
All of a sudden everyone: “???”
Qi Qian has been cold and ruthless, and has shown no mercy to Nan Xi for a long time. Everyone went from watching the fun in the beginning, to sympathizing with Nan Xi later, and finally to despising Nan Xi.
By now, almost everyone has tacitly acknowledged that Qi Qian's heart is like a thousand-year-old ice that can never be warmed up.
But what's with Qi Qian's look today?
In an instant, everyone in the Tianyun Sword Sect lost their composure.
During this period of time, their opinions towards Nan Xi have changed drastically. It is hard to say how they reacted when they saw Qi Qian like this some time ago, but now, they absolutely disagree with Qi Qian having feelings for Nan Xi.
Without any thought, he has done such harm to Nan Xi. If he hadn't put any thought into it, how could Nan Xi be okay?
I'm afraid that Qi Qian's move is just a whim, but Nan Xi really falls for it. If we separate them later, won't it allow Nan Xi's inner demons to grow and she will fall into that demon later?
Nan Xi didn’t know what her fellow students were thinking yet. If she knew, she would really praise them for their accurate guesses.
It may also be that a bystander sees more clearly, but at that time, the plot of the heroine in fairy tales being possessed by a demon could be considered a trend, and it was inevitable.
But it was too early to think about these things. Nan Xi finished scolding Qi Qian and pretended not to dare to look directly at him. She quickly looked away and walked to her team and stood there.
Some disciples praised her quietly for her good performance and secretly said that they thought she could be even stronger, but Nan Xi turned a deaf ear to them and pretended not to hear.
But no one dared to mention Qi Qian in front of her.
There were six sects, each with ten disciples, a total of sixty in total. On the first day, each person had one competition, a total of thirty competitions, which was quite a lot. Afterwards, the disciples were asked to sit on the ground, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Many people, especially those from the two sects closest to them, always liked to glance in Nan Xi's direction. Then, if Nan Xi glanced at Qi Qian, there would be a burst of discussion in low voices.
"Is this the 7th time? You really care about it."
"Of course not. The chief disciple of Tianyun Sword Sect is a well-known lovelorn person."
"It's a pity that the flowers are affectionate but the water is indifferent."
It's no wonder they are gossiping. Tianyun Sword Sect has a special status, and Nan Xi is the eldest disciple. Her every move is naturally topical, not to mention that it involves love and romance. The plot is very bizarre and tortuous. If Nan Xi herself was not the person involved, she would have to take a good look.
Nan Xi thought about it, and under the urging of the system, she looked at Qi Qian again.
This time, Qi Qian seemed to have expected it and was looking at her. According to her character, Nan Xi was "shy" and avoided Qi Qian's sight.
After this went on for several times, someone finally noticed that something was wrong with Qi Yi. However, Nan Xi had gradually become disappointed and her eyes were fixed on him, but because she lowered her eyes, no one noticed.
Others didn't know, but the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect kept looking at Nan Xi. They didn't hear Nan Xi's thoughts, and saw that she looked like she was being tricked. They were really anxious to death.
【ah!!!!!】
The howling startled all the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect. Everyone's body trembled to varying degrees, but the movement was small and no one noticed.
They looked at their eldest sister in horror, wondering what had suddenly happened to her.
[Stop looking at it! I’m going to vomit if you keep looking at it! ]
The disciples were shocked again, and kept glancing towards Nan Xi with their eyes. Their minds were still in a state of confusion, and they didn't know how to react.
Nan Xi's facial expression did not change much, but she continued to go crazy inside.
[What are you looking at? Wait till I slap you to death! If you keep looking, I’ll dig your eyes out!]
Disciples: “!”
"Sister, you can't do that!"
Someone said it subconsciously, and felt something was wrong as soon as he said it. When he met Nan Xi's gaze, he put on an awkward smile.
"Sister, please stop looking at me. It's not good to do this in public."
People from other sects: Oh wow!
The chief disciple of Tianyun Sword Sect was taught a lesson by an ordinary inner sect disciple. This really does not show the dignity of a chief disciple at all.
Nan Xi understood immediately, "I understand, it turns out you just can't stand me."
She immediately put on a lost expression, looking at him as if he wanted to say something but stopped, then sighed, said nothing, and looked away.
The disciple: “!”
He wanted to cry but had no tears. Senior sister, you misunderstood, that’s not what he meant!
The other Tianyun Sword Sect disciples looked at him with sympathy, but the next moment, they heard Nan Xi's laughter.
[Haha, haha, haha, haha, haha! You're not used to seeing me, now I'll kill you with internal friction. ]
Everyone: “…”
Although they did not understand what internal friction meant, based on the meaning of the sentence, they thought it meant making people feel guilty and causing them to be restless. The disciples were kind-hearted and were immediately shocked.
What a powerful method!
The reason they were shocked was that even if they didn't have a good impression of their senior sister before, they would really feel guilty if she behaved like this because of what they said!
Immediately, everyone's eyes on Nan Xi changed a little.
The master sister’s understanding of human nature is so profound.
Nan Xi didn’t know what they were thinking. If she knew, she would probably laugh secretly. After all, she didn’t have a deep understanding of people’s hearts. She just had a good grasp of this group of disciples.
But after a fit of madness and the interruption of her disciples, she finally got rid of the anger in her heart.
Whenever the male and female protagonists meet, there must be contact, which means that the plot will occur, which means that it is time for Nan Xi to complete her mission again.
This mission is quite long and it is an important plot, which requires Nan Xi to devote 100% of her energy to deal with it.
Simply put, the change in Qiqian's attitude was noticed by the heroine, who became uneasy. In subsequent activities, she would be ridiculed, and Qiqian would comfort her, and their relationship would advance by leaps and bounds.
And the heroine learned from the disciples of the Yuxu Sect that Qi Qian had a white moonlight.
Regardless of the plot, the author's grasp of human hearts and emotions is solid, with huge ups and downs in a short period of time, which makes people curse while eager to watch on.
But Nan Xi's mood at this moment was tougher than that of a man who had been killing fish for ten years. Thinking about the long plot and the sticky eyes that followed, she felt exhausted.
After a while, he suddenly roared in his heart.
[If he dares to touch me, I will make him half paralyzed! ]
The disciples were startled again by the deafening sound and looked at Nan Xi pitifully, begging her not to scare their fragile hearts again.
The first day's competition took five hours to end. If it weren't for the fact that the strength of some disciples from the Tianyun Sword Sect and other sects was slightly different from that of others, it would have taken even longer.
The time after that is free time. The sword-fighting competition will last for five days, three of which will be competitions organized by the sect, and two days will be free competitions among the disciples.
If a disciple who is not among the top ten defeats any of the sixty people in the free competition, he or she will be able to participate in the sect competition ranking. As long as there is a ranking, even if it is the sixtieth place, there will be many rewards.
After the first day of disbanding, Nan Xi thought about the rules of the fencing club and felt that the person who came up with such a competition system was truly a talent.
Then he walked towards the place where the first scene took place.
The plot of this scene is that the heroine was disturbed by Qi Yi's abnormality and then accidentally bumped into someone. These two people were also passers-by A and Passer-by B, and Nan Xi did not remember their names.
But because he is set as the eldest disciple of one of the two sects, he looks down on the heroine, so he makes sarcastic remarks and pokes at the heroine's sore spots through Qi Mi, making her face pale and tears streaming down her face.
Nan Xi didn't have any thoughts about this. After all, she felt that what the two people said was right, except that their attitude was a little bad.
So Nan Xi walked forward while daydreaming and bumped into someone by chance.
"Don't you have eyes?"
A rough voice came from above. Nan Xi took a step back, raised her head, and looked at the two tough guys with thick buttocks and chins, muscular bodies, and nearly two meters in height. Her pupils suddenly trembled.
[Damn... no one told me that passerby A and B looked like this. ]
Li Yunzheng was wandering around the sect, and when she heard Nan Xi's voice, she subconsciously went to find her, and then saw Nan Xi facing two iron-blooded tough guys with a dazed look on her face.
Nan Xi is five feet two inches tall, or 175 cm tall. Even among men, she is not short, but she looks particularly petite in front of these two people.
Li Yunzheng immediately became interested. There happened to be a tree behind her, so she leaned against it without any hesitation. She didn't seem to be worried about her disciples at all and watched them leisurely.
At this time, the two strong men had already recognized who Nan Xi was. One of them immediately crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Hey, isn't this the so-and-so?"
Another person said in a sinister tone, "Who is that? Ouch, he is really blind and bumped into us."
The two of them crossed their arms over their chests, twisted their hips, and their expressions made them inexplicably feminine. A certain feeling suddenly came over Nan Xi, who looked at the two of them, her pupils continuing to tremble.
[A two-meter-tall girl named Naruto Rei?! ]
Li Yunzheng didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but heard the first half clearly. Even she couldn't help twitching her eyebrows in such an unrestrained manner.
Seeing that Nan Xi didn't say anything, the two men thought she was frightened, so they laughed and looked at the people around them.
"Oh, you can't talk anymore?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, with such little courage, he actually pursued her for four or five years. He really loves her deeply."
The tone was indescribably sarcastic.
"You're not thinking about Qi Qian, are you?" One of them covered his mouth with his hand, widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "You're not still delusional enough to think that Qi Qian would like you, are you?"
"Hahahahahahaha." Another person laughed, "He's the chief disciple of the Tianyun Sword Sect, but his mind is not clear at all. It's really hilarious."
"Brother, let's not bother with fools."
"You're right. Let's go. This guy is not interesting at all."
The two of them walked away arm in arm. Nan Xi was still shaking. After a while, she came to her senses and looked in the direction where the two of them left in shock.
[Are these two good people?! ]
Li Yunzheng, who witnessed the whole process: "?"
Nan Xi muttered to herself as she walked towards a less crowded place. She was so moved that she almost cried. However, it could also be said that she was setting up her character for the plot.
[Every sentence was full of sarcasm, every sentence was pointing fingers, and he even used provocation to try to remind me of my responsibilities as a senior disciple.]
【Just to the point, no empty words. 】
[The key is that his views are exactly the same as mine! Really! What a great person! ]
Li Yunzheng: “…”
So Nan Xi is trying to indirectly say that she is a good person?
