Chapter 18

Not knowing that her actions were seen, Nan Xi sighed and walked towards a place with fewer people.

"But why do you say the heroine is a love-brained person? Even if someone points it out to her, she just thinks that the other person is mocking her for not getting the love she wants, and then she feels sad and resentful."

There was no one around, so Nan Xi just muttered it out loud. Her voice was so low that even Li Yunzheng only heard a few words.

For example, words with heavier pronunciations include “點…嘲嘲…介臷”.

But looking at Nan Xi's expression, she herself didn't care.

Seeing Nan Xi walking to a less crowded place and gradually approaching her residence, Li Yunzheng still had some sense and planned to leave. However, just when she took a small step forward, she saw a tall figure standing there, and his eyes fell on Nan Xi coldly.

When Nan Xi saw Qi Qian, the sadness on his face had not yet subsided. He was stunned for a moment, and looked depressed and lonely.

The beauty's eyes were filled with tears, and looking at her this way, she looked pitiful, lovable and touching.

Li Yunzheng paused as she was about to move, and once again found a tree to lean against. She casually cast her eyes on the two men, and then secretly used the Breathing Technique.

Neither Nan Xi nor Qi Qian noticed Li Yunzheng's presence.

At this moment, Nan Xi looked at Qi Qian's face and was finally ready to start the plot, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

【What is supposed to come will come. 】

Li Yunzheng secretly raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Not to mention Nan Xi's tone of voice that said she had known this, her expression and look at this moment were also different from most of the time.

"What is this? Two faces?"

Li Yunzheng murmured softly and continued to watch the interaction between the two.

Qi Qian noticed Nan Xi's expression and sneered in his heart. He had never noticed it before, but now he could tell from Nan Xi's demeanor that he cared.

Nan Xi was not causing him any trouble now, and people were always willing to show some kindness to those who cared about them, so Qi Qian's expression softened a little, and he showed concern for her, and asked, "Did someone bully you just now?"

With this tone and attitude, if she were really the heroine in the drama, she would be flattered.

Nan Xi also slightly widened her eyes, with some surprise and joy, and seemed a little flattered, but then she thought of the scene just now, and her eyes dimmed again.

He shook his head slightly, but stopped halfway and looked at Qi Qian with an uncertain expression.

She seemed to want to say something, but was hesitant.

At this point, Nan Xi was really into the role. She was thinking about the next part of the plot in her mind, while looking at Qi Qian with a sad expression.

[What did Qi Qian want to say? It seemed like something nice, but it didn’t really make sense.]

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Qian said, "Next time if someone bullies you, you should be tougher and fight back."

Then she paused, "After all, you are the Grand Sister of the Tianyun Sword Sect."

His tone was not gentle, but calm, which was much better than his previous cold and hard tone. He looked at Nan Xi with deep eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Nan Xi burst into tears immediately.

【It's not easy to say something nice. 】

Li Yunzheng took in all the movements here. She did not detect any touching emotions in Nan Xi's voice, and Nan Xi's previous words also made her a little surprised.

That inner voice seemed to be predicting Qi Qin's reaction. Li Yunzheng did not react when she first heard it, but now thinking back, she found that Nan Xi's prediction was extremely accurate.

This surprised Li Yunzheng a little.

It turns out that her nephew has understood Qi Qian to this extent?

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yunzheng felt a breath coming from behind him, followed by a voice.

Lian Qianxing said in a childish voice: "Master..."

Uncle Shi had just bitten halfway through the word "Shi" when Li Yunzheng covered his mouth rudely. His head was bent to face Nan Xi, and at the same time, Li Yunzheng's voice transmission fell into his ears.

"Your senior sister is getting entangled with Qi Qian again. You should just watch carefully and not say anything. Do you understand?"

Lian Qianxing widened his eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Li Yunzheng then let him go and turned his gaze to Nan Xi again. Lian Qianxing also shut his mouth and half-hidden behind Li Yunzheng, watching.

Meanwhile, Nan Xi's tears were shed in a very restrained manner, with just one or two drops falling lightly. It looked nice and not annoying.

But this wasn't some cunning trick played by Nan Xi, it was just the way the plot was. After all, no matter what the heroine was like, she was still the heroine of a novel.

Then she spoke with a slight sob.

"Aqian...Fellow Daoist Qi is right. I was too disappointing before."

Seeing Nan Xi being so obedient, Qi Qian's expression softened a little. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I didn't mean to be cold to you before."

Hearing Qi Qian say this, Nan Xi sneered in her heart.

【Oh.】

Just like that, it seemed like it said nothing, yet it said everything.

Lian Qianxing stared with a pair of clear eyes and asked Li Yunzheng in a low voice, "Uncle Master, Senior Sister, do you not believe it?"

But if you don't believe it, why do you put on such a touching expression?

"Maybe." Li Yunzheng answered him in the same way. Seeing that Lian Qianxing was so conspicuous, she covered him with her aura. "But no one in the sect has figured out your sister's idea."

Lian Qianxing nodded in agreement, "I don't understand what Senior Sister is thinking either."

As the two talked, Qi Qian slowly finished his next words. He said, "It's just that I used to focus on cultivation and had no interest in love. You have a simple and passionate mind, and I don't want to delay you."

After these words came out, who wouldn't be confused if they have always liked each other? Nan Xi was stunned, and seemed to be at a loss as to how to react.

[That sounds so good, I almost believed it. ]

Lian Qianxing asked again out of curiosity, "Senior Sister, you still don't believe it?"

"Just listening to your heart, I don't believe it at all." Li Yunzheng nodded, and then seeing that Lian Qianxing wanted to ask something else, she casually pressed his head and said, "Just wait and see, don't say too much."

"oh."

Lian Qianxing shut up feeling wronged.

But looking at Nan Xi's expression, he seemed to believe it more than he could, and then he shook his head, "Don't delay, I am willing to do it, just looking at you makes me happy."

After saying this, he seemed to realize belatedly that his words were too blunt and bold, so he lowered his head and a blush appeared on his face.

Then a low laugh came from above my head.

Qi Qian said: "I was not nice to you in the past, it was my fault."

"Maybe we can be good friends in the future. You can call me A-Qian." He paused and said, "People close to me always call me that."

Even Lian Qianxing could sense something was wrong when these words came out, but after all, he was still young and couldn't analyze what was wrong.

He just looked at Li Yunzheng in confusion.

"Uncle Master, didn't this Taoist treat me coldly in the past, showing no mercy at all?"

Li Yunzheng's expression faded a little, and a layer of coldness appeared in her eyes. Her voice fell lightly, "Yes."

She didn't finish her words because she was interrupted by a voice in her heart.

[He thinks I'm easy to control. He just wants me to apologize and throw myself at him. His plan is working out perfectly.]

As soon as Nan Xi finished speaking, Lian Qianxing looked at Li Yunzheng, waiting for her to express her opinion.

Li Yunzheng nodded slightly, her expression slightly relieved.

"Yes, that's right. No matter what Qi Qian thinks, he obviously doesn't regard your sister as someone who needs to be respected."

Hearing this, Lian Qianxing's eyes widened a little, "So that's how it is, no wonder I felt something was wrong."

There was no reason to trample and hurt someone thoroughly early on and then lightly cover up the matter with just a few words. Even if Qi Qian had always treated his senior sister as nothing and never showed her any mercy, it would be better than this.

At least it didn't give anyone hope.

"Senior sister knows this clearly, I don't think she will be fooled by this change, right?"

The junior brother has always been polite, but now he doesn't want to call Qi Qian "fellow Taoist".

However, before Lian Qianxing could wait for Li Yunzheng's answer to this question, he saw Nan Xi wipe away tears and nodded decisively and with great joy.

"Okay... okay, I know there was a reason why Ah Qian treated me like that in the past. I don't blame you."

She had a smile on her face, a beautiful and clear smile, a little dazzling, and full of sincerity, almost showing her whole heart on the surface.

Even Qi Qian's eyes were dazzled.

However, the two people who were watching secretly from the back suddenly felt uneasy. Lian Qianxing didn't know what this meant yet. He was just surprised and didn't understand. However, Li Yunzheng's face suddenly darkened and a sneer appeared on his lips.

This means that Nan Xi is willing to despise herself and rely on one person. If Qi Qian really hurts Nan Xi in the future, it will be her own fault.

Li Yunzheng wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but then, Nan Xi's inner voice slowly came to her.

[Wow, I can’t even imagine how good-looking I am now.]

[No, no, it's not right. Although it looks good, if someone sees it, they will think I'm stupid, right? ]

Li Yunzheng paused slightly as she was leaving, and Nan Xi thought while stealing a glance at Qi Qian's face, then secretly confirmed it.

[It seems like I performed very well. Look, he was stunned.]

[Most people should know how lucky it is to be liked by the Tianyun Sword Sect's chief disciple. Unfortunately, this person is ungrateful.]

After a few words, Li Yunzheng was successfully persuaded to stay again. However, this time, she no longer had the relaxed expression on her face. She just narrowed her eyes and looked at Nan Xi with inquiry.

But having said that, this little plot is almost over.

Qi Qian said, "Okay, I know. You must be tired today. I won't disturb you from resting."

Nan Xi nodded with emotion, "A-Qian should also go back and rest."

After a while, he said carefully, "See you tomorrow."

Qi Qian didn't answer, just nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Nan Xi stared at his back, lost in thought, [Tsk, you said you wanted to apologize, but you didn't even want to see him off even two steps.]

Realizing what she was thinking, Nan Xi shook her head in disapproval.

[Pooh, pooh, pooh, the air doesn't feel sweet when I'm with him, so it's better not to send him off.]

Now that she could no longer see anyone, Nan Xi's mood suddenly became cheerful. She reviewed her perfect performance today and imagined the shock of seeing those two strong men. She lifted her hair conceitedly and returned to her own courtyard.

From beginning to end, she didn't notice that there were two people not far away.

But Li Yunzheng has a high level of cultivation and is a famous master in the world of cultivation. It is normal that Nan Xi cannot detect her existence.

After seeing Nan Xi leave, Lian Qianxing asked in confusion: "Uncle Master, what on earth does Senior Sister mean by this?"

"Is she willing to put aside her past grudges and become friends with Qi Qian?" Even the young boy, who was still ignorant, felt that something was wrong. "Besides, Qi Qian's words were not what he would say to a friend."

“I don’t know.”

Li Yunzheng put aside her thoughts and returned to her usual carefree and casual demeanor. She smiled and said, "I really don't understand you, Senior Sister."

…

The first day of the swordplay meeting passed like this. The second day was a free activity for the disciples. They had to gather at the martial arts arena and then compete or chat.

If someone thinks he is very powerful, he can challenge the top 60 disciples.

Everyone who can come here has worked very hard, and they all have some qualifications and extraordinary strength, so there are many people who challenge it.

Nan Xi was challenged once. After all, according to the rumors, she was mediocre and seemed easy to bully, so some people believed it and attacked her.

But the man's strength was no match for Nan Xi, and she easily defeated him.

Qi Qian was also challenged once. According to the plot, Nan Xi went to watch Qi Qian's competition, and then had an extremely dull contact with Qi Qian in front of everyone.

In just a moment, just one or two words, Qi Qian was quickly sent away. However, just these two words had already attracted countless attentions to Nan Xi.

There were waves of discussions all around, especially among the disciples of the Zuxu Sect, who were particularly shocked by this so-called friendly interaction.

Regarding the entanglement between Nan Xi and Qi Qian, the attitudes of the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect and Yuxu Sect are completely different.

After all, from the very beginning, it was Nan Xi who was embarrassed, while Qi Qian was always calm and composed. In fact, he was often the culprit for Nan Xi's embarrassment. As many people laughed at Nan Xi, as many people secretly sighed at Qi Qian's charm.

Disciples of the Yuxu Sect often cite this incident as one of the reasons for building their self-confidence.

After all, the only thing that the Yuxu Sect could do without the Tianyun Sword Sect was for the eldest disciple of the Tianyun Sword Sect to succumb to the charm of their senior brother, so they were not ashamed but proud of the farce between the two.

But now, as they watched Qi Qian treat Nan Xi kindly, a large number of people immediately became restless.

Qi Qian was the pride of their Yuxu Sect, so they naturally would not point the finger at Qi Qian, and so the target of their ridicule became Nan Xi.

One of them glanced over and said, "After receiving such kind words from our senior brother, some people must be so happy that they will die, right?"

"But I advise you not to be too happy too soon. Senior Brother is a good person, so I am willing to talk to you for a few more words."

This is another plot. In the plot, the heroine is much brighter than her previous depressed look because she was comforted by Qi Qian yesterday, and especially because they became "friends" with Qi Qian, which can be regarded as a wish fulfillment to some extent.

Then she remembered what Qi Qian had said, that if anyone bullied her, she would do such and such, and then she became tough.

Nan Xi thought about the plot and sighed.

She also glanced over. Since there were no important characters around, she wanted to let herself go.

So he sneered at that time, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Then he sneered, "Before you open your mouth, look at where you are standing and who I am."

She said this with great arrogance, and immediately those people who were watching the excitement, including the two men, were startled and suddenly realized that this was the Tianyun Sword Sect, one of the five major sects in the world of cultivation.

And Nan Xi is the respected senior disciple here.
