Chapter 23

Nan Xi was so shocked that she almost couldn't speak.

At this moment, the system started to respond urgently, and a flat electronic voice in Nan Xi's mind spoke a bunch of lines.

Now that she had the lines, it was up to Nan Xi to show her acting skills. She shook her head quickly, her expression becoming more and more nervous. She kept blinking, and her long eyelashes were particularly eye-catching.

"No, no, I didn't think so. How could you think so? I, I never took this matter lightly."

"I didn't treat you like a nobody. You lost to Qi Zhao in the competition, but you are obviously very strong. It's not shameful to lose. I saw that you were in a bad mood and I was afraid of disturbing you and causing you trouble..."

Speaking of this, Nan Xi looked very sad, as if she was about to burst into tears.

Seeing Nan Xi so flustered and so sincere, Qi Qian felt a little better, but then he realized that he had just lost his composure, and his expression became uglier again.

Nan Xi didn't care about all that. Looking at Qi Qian's shameless look, she secretly complained in her heart.

[You feel annoyed when I look for you, and you get angry when I don’t look for you? You are just hypocritical. 】

[Besides, why would I come to you for no reason? Are you asking for trouble? ]

Except when there are missions, Nan Xi has always avoided all aspects of Qi Migration if possible. After all, who wants to increase their workload? Besides, even a small change will change the plot. When there is nothing to do, Nan Xi will of course avoid Qi Migration.

Li Yunzheng heard Nan Xi's thoughts and raised her eyebrows slightly. A smile appeared on her lips because of those two sentences.

After a brief silence, Qi Qian regained his composure. Even though he was slow to react, he realized that Nan Xi had moved him. The look in his eyes when he looked at Nan Xi became complicated.

At this moment, Nan Xi thought of the key point of this plot. She spoke with a smile on her face, "Aqian, I heard that the junior sister is coming back. It is said that she is a great beauty. I haven't seen her for a long time and I can't remember her clearly."

…

What happened next was not much different from the plot. After finishing the plot smoothly, Nan Xi separated from Qi Qian with an expression of forced calm.

Qi Qian was a little distracted because Nan Xi mentioned his junior sister and didn't notice Nan Xi's expression.

Nan Xi also noticed his situation and turned around, but without walking far away, her expression returned to calm. She then puffed out her cheeks and relaxed her facial muscles.

At this point, Qi Qian rarely had the ability to affect her mood, so as soon as she turned around, her mind drifted elsewhere.

[Hey, what does the little apprentice sister look like? ]

[Is it really that beautiful? Then I have to take a closer look at how beautiful it is. ]

Thinking of this, Nan Xi's eyes narrowed.

Li Yunzheng saw Nan Xi's reaction and suddenly understood what was wrong with her that she had noticed before. When Nan Xi calmed down, she didn't look like she was in love with Qi Qian.

Just thinking about this, Li Yunzheng felt that there was no need to observe further.

Not to mention that this is also tiring. If she accidentally sees some privacy that Nan Xi doesn't want others to know, she will become a villain. In addition, even if there is no evidence, Li Yunzheng has concluded in her heart that Nan Xi is not really happy.

Knowing this, it didn't matter to Li Yunzheng why Nan Xi acted like this.

As his thoughts turned, Li Yunzheng also disappeared from the spot.

Today is the last day of the swordplay competition. After the final competition is over, we will gather the disciples together to do a closing summary.

The ranking came out and Nan Xi was ranked tenth. Although it was not particularly outstanding, it was still impressive compared to Nan Xi's previous performance. At this time, Nan Xi remembered what He Jian had said to her before the fencing competition began.

So she raised her eyes and looked at He Jian who was standing high in front of her. When she saw him looking at her, Nan Xi couldn't help but curl her eyes.

[Master, we have done our best, right? ]

Even though he didn't really use his full strength, he did his best within his ability, and it was also an explanation to He Jian.

He Jian was originally talking with a serious expression, but suddenly he saw his disciple smiling at him. Then he said these words in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble.

It was rare for him to hear Nan Xi speak so sweetly. He felt relieved and relieved. He almost forgot that Nan Xi had not really tried her best.

But after thinking about it, He Jian's expression couldn't help but relax.

No matter what, Nan Xi took his words to heart.

After finishing the conversation with Jian, the Tianyun Sword Sect organized to send people from several other sects on the flying boat for the return trip. Another hour passed.

The Tianyun Sword Sect was bustling for a few days, but those people suddenly left and the training ground became much wider.

However, before Nan Xi had time to breathe in the fresh air, he was called away by He Jian. Perhaps thinking that Nan Xi must have been tired these days, he did not call Nan Xi to the cave, but talked to him directly in the martial arts field.

"You did not perform badly this time." He Jian praised him at first, then lowered his tone and said, "But you did not show your full strength."

Nan Xi blinked her eyes and listened obediently.

Seeing Nan Xi's expression, He Jian suddenly didn't want to say anything more. He paused and talked about something else.

"You should know that your junior sister will be back soon."

The disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect originally had a good sense of propriety. Knowing that the Sect Master was talking to the eldest senior sister, they all subconsciously walked around this side.

As a result, when they heard the word "junior sister", their legs that were walking around could not move, and the dogs were wandering around stealthily.

Nan Xi nodded, "Disciple knows."

[Junior sister, the one who is known as the most beautiful one... When was the last time I saw her? Five years ago? What did she look like?]

Nan Xi pondered for a while.

[Oh yes, she was wearing a veil at that time. I don’t know what she looked like, but her eyes were pretty.]

Disciples: Yes, yes, yes, it’s the little junior sister who wears a veil. She seldom appears in front of people. They don’t know what the little junior sister looks like.

He Jian heard Nan Xi's thoughts and said, "It seems you know."

"I think the news has spread in the sect today. I won't hide it. Your little sister was born with a deficiency and couldn't often appear in front of people. Now the problem has been almost cured. She will be able to practice with you in the future."

"She is talented and a good kid. I don't ask you to always take care of her, but you will need to take better care of her in the future."

As he spoke, He Jian looked at Nan Xi's expression.

He knew that his disciple was sensitive and was worried that his words would make Nan Xi think too much, so he added, "After all, you are the eldest senior sister, everyone trusts you, and your ability is obvious to all."

Nan Xi listened to half of what He Jian said and didn't notice He Jian's cautiousness. She nodded obediently.

[It's just to take care of the little junior sister, casually, lightly... Oh, that's not right, Master, you haven't told me when the little junior sister will come, do you want me to go pick her up? ]

Nan Xi raised her head, met He Jian's gaze, and was about to ask.

He Jian, however, spoke as if he knew what was going on: "Your sister will arrive at noon tomorrow. If you want to pick her up, go to the sect gate. It just so happens that she has been away from the sect for many years and may have forgotten some of the rules. You should talk to her more."

So Nan Xi agreed obediently again.

Now, He Jian thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about, so he said, "You should have a good rest today, and get along well with your junior sister in the future."

Nan Xi nodded in agreement, and just as He Jian was preparing to leave with peace of mind.

【Get along well? I'm afraid it's impossible. 】

He Jian paused as he was about to leave, and the disciples around him quickly pricked up their ears.

Nan Xi was worried: [After all, Junior Sister is Qi Qian's white moonlight. I know about this person who loves me so much. How can we get along well? ]

And Sword: “?”

Disciples: “?”

He Jian was caught off guard by the news and his hands trembled slightly. He almost couldn't resist the urge to ask.

The disciples also widened their eyes in disbelief.

They knew that Qi Qian had a crush on someone, but how did Junior Sister get involved with Qi Qian? And what did you mean by Senior Sister? What do you mean by not being able to get along well?

Nan Xi didn't notice the surprise of the people around her at all. After dropping this big news, she didn't move. Seeing that He Jian didn't leave, she blinked and asked kindly, "Master, is there anything else?"

"No, it's okay..." He Jian was a little dazed, and suddenly he seemed to react to something and his eyes widened in an instant.

"You must get along well with your junior sister! Do you know that intrigues between fellow disciples are the worst thing to do?!"

Not knowing why the master was suddenly so excited, Nan Xi said in confusion: "Disciple knows."

[We must get along well... This is not my decision. If Junior Sister doesn't like me, then I won't say much. The best situation is that we treat each other with respect. No, it's better not to interfere with each other.]

It's okay if we don't interfere with each other.

He Jian's brows relaxed.

Then he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found he had no idea where to start. He could only say with a heavy heart that he was leaving.

At worst, he will come personally to supervise the pick-up tomorrow.

He Jian left, but the disciples were unable to move. They were still immersed in the fact that their junior sister was Qi Qian's favorite person, and they were shocked beyond words.

If one word was used to describe their mood, it would be...

ah???

As soon as He Jian left, seeing that Nan Xi was about to leave as well, the surrounding disciples swarmed over immediately and surrounded Nan Xi so tightly that no one could get out.

"Sister, do you have any news about my sister?"

"Senior sister? What do you think of your junior sister?"

"Senior Sister, how do you plan to get along with your junior sister in the future?"

Nan Xi was surrounded and looking at this group of people, she suddenly felt a little dizzy and extremely confused.

[Why does it feel like a press conference? ]

The disciples suddenly fell silent for a moment.

However, although they did not understand what the press conference was, Nan Xi still answered their questions, and gave two answers, one verbally and one from her heart.

"News? No."

[Perhaps she is Qi Qian's savior, the white moonlight in his heart, and you all know the rest.]

"Opinion? No."

[I didn't meet him much before, but I vaguely remember that he was quite aloof and didn't like to talk.]

"How can we get along? It would be best if we can coexist peacefully."

【Peaceful coexistence? Impossible... That's not right. 】

This turn of events made the disciples' eyes light up immediately. [My junior sister is a beauty, a great beauty! I like beautiful women the most! If she sweetly called me sister, wouldn't that be so cool? ]

[No, this relationship must be handled well. There are no restrictions anyway. I must make my junior sister like me! She doesn't like Qi Qian anyway! ]

Nan Xi's eyes lit up.

The disciples were horrified.

ah???

What did they hear?

The master sister wants to be popular with both men and women?
