Chapter 32

Lou Wenzhu didn't expect Nan Xi's reaction to be like this. She stood there in a daze for a second, but when she thought about what Nan Xi had said before, she didn't care about it anymore.

"I...I regret that I treated you badly in the past."

Lou Wenzhu lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. She never brought any gifts for Nan Xi every time she came back before, and whenever she saw Nan Xi she would simply call her "Senior Sister" in a very cold manner, and she also asked Shen Xinxi not to talk to Nan Xi.

Thinking about it this way, she is really guilty of a heinous crime.

Lou Wenzhu's tears fell even more fiercely.

Nan Xi continued to pat her back in confusion, "No, no, it's not bad."

[Junior Sister Lou is so kind that she even greeted me when she saw me. If it were me, I would stay as far away from people like this as possible.]

Hearing herself being praised, Lou Wenzhu was once again at a loss for a moment.

Lian Qianxing whispered, "Senior Sister, I was wrong before, but I will treat you well in the future."

Nan Xi: “?”

[I don’t know what these two kids were discussing just now. They looked like this now. They couldn’t have just been counting the good things I had done, right?]

Nan Xi didn't understand, but didn't ask any more questions.

Because of Lou Wenzhu, she did not realize that the elders who had just been discussing the performance of the assessed disciples had been silent for a long time.

But they were not really silent. Instead, they were using a technique that only people with Jindan level or above could use - transmitting sound into the ears.

This type of technique is similar to but different from the inner voice, but it also allows for direct communication without opening words, and allows one to choose the person to talk to.

The second elder's expression became serious. [He Jian, what's the situation with your disciple?]

Not to mention the Second Elder, no one present at this moment had a relaxed expression. Even Li Yunzheng, her sitting posture did not change, but her expression had become gloomy.

There was a subtle hostility on everyone's face - towards the system that Nan Xi mentioned.

If Nan Xi was being coerced, then all the weirdness during this period of time would be explained, such as showing admiration for Qi Qian but actually always cursing him in her heart.

He always looks weak, but he is actually very eager to take revenge and never holds it in. He has a good personality and is like a swordsman.

And... He Jian recalled the sword power of Nan Xi that he had seen before. Although it disappeared quickly, it was extremely stunning. If he was really a weak person, he would not be able to use a sword like that.

After a while, He Jiancai transmitted the message, "I don't know much more about my disciple's situation than you do. She rarely thinks about these things and hardly ever communicates with the system."

[This is too much bullying!] This is the hot-tempered Fifth Elder, who is also Lou Wenzhu's master. [You are bullying and threatening our Tianyun Sword Sect disciples like this, which shows that you do not take our Tianyun Sword Sect seriously!]

【Don’t let me find out who it is! 】

The elder looked gentle even when he wasn't smiling. [I don't know how many years these years are. This child has suffered so much.]

[Interesting, I didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations.] Li Yunzheng's voice was rational and cold, and she sounded uneasy.

[But since it exists in this world, I will catch it one day. ]

Li Yunzheng looked young, but in fact she lived no younger than the elders present, and her cultivation was also the highest. As soon as she opened her mouth, she confirmed the attitude of the Tianyun Sword Sect, and in the end she still spoke to the sword.

[For now, let's pretend that nothing happened. What happened in the past will be the same in the future. Don't let Xi'er notice our actions.]

Just like Jian's Qi-cultivation skills, his face was dark and his breathing became heavier. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. But even though Nan Xi was not a disciple of the other elders, they still felt uncomfortable.

This is a disciple of their Tianyun Sword Sect, the eldest disciple they have watched grow up since childhood.

When this was said, some people remembered how Nan Xi looked when she first entered the sect. She was thin, but had bright eyes and a very good character despite her young age. At that time, everyone felt that she would have a great future.

Afterwards, things slowly changed, and they couldn't even remember what Nan Xi looked like at first.

"Nan Xi." The great elder opened his mouth and called Nan Xi.

Nan Xi had just soothed Lou Wenzhu who was crying for no apparent reason. When she heard the voice of the great elder, she was slightly startled, but she still walked forward and answered obediently, "You called me."

"Well, come here, let me take a look." Nan Xi was slightly confused, and took another step forward, accepting the great elder's scrutiny, and finally heard him sigh.

"The roots are still there."

Nan Xi was even more confused, and then she heard Li Yunzheng speak, "Nan Xi's nephew's aptitude is indeed superior, it can be said that it is rare to see one like him in a thousand years."

She propped up her chin and said lazily, "The last person with such superior physique was me. I'm right here. You better hurry up and come up, nephew."

Nan Xi: “?”

[What's going on? Why are you suddenly talking about my poor quality? Are you not going to say that I've wasted my qualifications? ]

Those who had talked about Nan Xi, especially the Fifth Elder who had talked about it in person, suddenly felt a lump in their hearts. They felt that they had indeed gone too far in the past, and subconsciously reached into their storage ring.

"Nanxi, come here." He waved his hand and said, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to give you something last time. Here, take it."

Nan Xi became more and more confused. She took the thing stupidly, took a closer look, and was immediately shocked.

[Purple Soul Pill? ? ! ! First-grade pill? ? Ah? ? ]

The Purple Soul Pill is a healing elixir that nourishes the soul and repairs muscles and bones. It can be said that as long as the person is not completely dead, it can save a life. It is a life-saving elixir that is out of reach for many cultivators.

Nan Xi's hand holding the medicine trembled slightly, "Fifth, Fifth Elder, you took the wrong one, didn't you?"

The Fifth Elder's face trembled at Nan Xi's suspicious look. "I have received great kindness from your master in the past. This is not a very valuable thing. If you can afford it, just accept it."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xi secretly glanced at He Jian.

The always serious He Jian nodded and said, "Just accept it."

Nan Xi accepted the gift hesitantly, feeling that it was not reliable.

【What happened today? I don’t think I did anything. 】

[Master actually asked me to accept it? This is unreasonable.]

[Will there be some difficult tasks after this? ]

Seeing Nan Xi's thoughts becoming more and more distracted, He Jian coughed lightly and said, "You have made some progress in this assessment compared to the last time. Keep working hard next time. Okay, go back and stand."

Hearing this, Nan Xi paused and became even more horrified.

[Huh? My performance was as bad as shit, but Master still praised me for my progress? ? Am I going to be beheaded tomorrow? How scary! ! ]

Judging from Nan Xi's tone, He Jian's simple compliment seemed more terrifying than the Fifth Elder giving her the Purple Soul Pill. He was about to jump up.

He Jian: "..."

He no longer cared about feeling sorry for Nan Xi, and said softly, "Go quickly."

Upon hearing He Jian's tone, Nan Xi felt relieved and hurriedly walked back, as if a ghost was trying to catch her.

She had just stood still when there was a sudden wave in the formation. Then she saw Shen Xinxi and Jing Feng coming out one after another. Jing Feng still looked paralyzed. He saluted to the elders in a sonorous and powerful manner and then walked to the back.

Shen Xinxi was more sensitive and noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Lou Wenzhu first.

Lou Wenzhu had stopped crying a long time ago, and her face looked normal, except that the tip of her nose and the corners of her eyes were a little red, which made it clear what had just happened.

Shen Xinxi was startled, and quickly walked to Lou Wenzhu and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did the master scold you?"

Shen Xinxi and Lou Wenzhu are both disciples of the Fifth Elder. Shen Xinxi is the senior sister and is very considerate in daily life.

Hearing Shen Xinxi's words, Lou Wenzhu shook her head and whispered, "Not really."

She wanted to take a look at Nan Xi, but felt it would be too conspicuous. After some hesitation, she just moved Shen Xinxi away and whispered to her.

While he was muttering, Qi Zhao came out and walked over here. When he heard some words, he joined in and listened silently.

Shen Xinxi covered her mouth halfway through the conversation. By the end, she was about to cry. She suppressed her voice and whispered, "Senior Sister, she...she really..."

Lou Wenzhu nodded.

Qi Zhao also had a heavy expression on his face. He turned his head and found that Lian Qianxing, who was listening beside them, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Then I saw Nan Xi.

Nan Xi was really confused. She looked at those people gathered together, talking about something, and glancing at her from time to time. How could she describe that look? It was three parts sympathy, three parts self-blame, three parts anger, and one part heaviness.

The color palette is not really colorful.

She was mumbling to herself.

"Something is wrong. It's very wrong."

Although she was unwelcome in the past, she had never felt such obvious isolation. After all, it was not popular to form small groups in the Tianyun Sword Sect, and everyone was harmonious.

Nan Xi couldn't even figure out what these people were sympathizing with and what they were angry about.

Just as she was wondering, those people raised their heads and looked towards her at the same time.

Nan Xi: “?”

Not only did they look over, they also walked over. Although they were obviously fellow students, Nan Xi still felt a little scared and subconsciously took two steps back.

[Ah? Ah? ? Sect Tyrant? ]

Seeing what Qi Zhao and the others were doing, Jing Feng, who had been standing there in a daze, reacted. After a moment of hesitation, he joined everyone and quickly surrounded Nan Xi.

Shen Xinxi stood in the center of the group. She held Nan Xi's hand with a sad look on her face.

"Grandma Sister, from now on, I will listen to whatever you say. I will never talk about you and Qi Qian again. If anything happens, you must tell me. As fellow disciples, we must share the joys and sorrows together."

Nan Xi: “?”

Qi Zhao stood aside with a complicated look on his face, "Senior Sister, if you want to do something in the future, you can tell us and we will understand you."

Nan Xi: “?”

Lou Wenzhu was very uncomfortable. "As for the matter between you and Qiqian, I won't scold you for it anymore. I will treat you well in the future!"

Nan Xi: “?”

And Lian Qianxing, he nodded silently, and then said: "Come on, Senior Sister!"

Nan Xi: “?”

Nan Xi was confused, Nan Xi was thinking, Nan Xi was terrified.

[What happened suddenly? Could it be that I have contracted a terminal disease and will not live long? ]

[Ah? Or do my fellow apprentices dislike me so much that they want to get rid of me secretly?]

[Oh my god! I’m a good person! ]

Everyone: “?”

Luo Tingyun was the last disciple to come out. He only heard the last sentence when he came out. He was slightly confused, then he took two steps towards this side and was seen by Nan Xi.

Nan Xi, as if she had seen a savior, quickly broke through the siege and rushed over to hug Luo Tingyun's arm.

"Junior sister! Save my life!"
