Chapter 34

Nan Xi met Qi Zhao's gaze, then looked behind Qi Zhao. Meeting the expectant gazes of several people, she immediately felt her scalp tingling.

"Wait, wait until Master comes."

Nan Xi avoided his gaze.

[Although I quite like this look, it seems so weird.]

[Anyway, if my performance is a little worse, Master will not appoint me as the leader... Oh no, he will not appoint me as the real leader.]

After all, the Tianyun Sword Sect also needs to save face, and He Jian has a concern and does not want Nan Xi to be too embarrassed, so no matter what, Nan Xi will be the leader in the end, but in addition to Nan Xi, he will make another set of arrangements.

As a result, when the crisis really came, Nan Xi's words didn't count.

He Jian had just stepped here when he heard what Nan Xi said. However, after being influenced by Nan Xi for such a period of time, his Qi-cultivation skills had improved a little.

At this time, he walked aside without changing his expression and said to his disciples, "Stand still."

Then he slowly looked towards Nan Xi, paused, and continued calmly, "The purpose of gathering here today was explained to you yesterday, and first of all, we need to choose a leader."

He stared at Nan Xi, which made Nan Xi feel creepy, so her eyes shifted from looking at He Jian to slowly moving in other directions to look at the scenery.

Then she said to He Jian: "Nan Xi, as the senior sister of Tianyun Sword Sect, you need to take this responsibility."

Everyone's eyes turned to Nan Xi, wondering how she would react. However, she nodded slightly and said without resistance, "Disciple obeys your command."

Others: “?”

Didn’t you say you didn’t want to be a team leader?

Just as they were wondering whether Nan Xi had suddenly changed her mind, Nan Xi also noticed their gaze.

[Just kidding, I'm not stupid. There's no benefit in openly challenging my master, and that's not how it's played out in the drama.]

【hey-hey.】

Others: “…”

I don’t know why Nan Xi became happy. He Jian listened to Nan Xi’s inner thoughts and held his breath.

Okay, okay, he wanted to see what other tricks Nan Xi had up his sleeve.

The leader has many roles in the team. When facing danger, he must make decisions and lead the team to respond immediately. He is usually the core of the sword formation and commands the entire team.

In these two months, they not only had to learn and practice the sword formation, but also had to attend many classes to understand the situation in the Dibai Secret Realm in detail.

At this time, they will practice sword formation.

Seven people gathered together and held their swords tightly. A sword formation is not just a formation. It also requires several people to connect their spiritual power and add sword moves to achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. A good sword formation can achieve the effect of seven people forming a formation, which is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Fearless Golden Core Stage.

This is the Tianyun Sword Sect's unique skill in addition to swordsmanship, and it is extremely precious.

When practice started, Nan Xi was pushed to the C position.

She deliberately hesitated, counting the grains of sand on the ground, but suddenly a sharp force attacked her from behind. Nan Xi was pulled by the sword's spiritual power, and it didn't hurt much, but she was frightened.

[Hey, my! What is Master doing? ]

She suddenly stepped forward, then looked back at He Jian with resentment in her eyes.

The others had already seen Nan Xi's actions, and when they saw her being punished, they all smiled secretly, then looked straight ahead, pretending that they saw nothing.

Since she was the one who hesitated first, Nan Xi couldn't complain. She could only stand still in her position, holding the sword, and smiling at He Jian.

"Master, I'm ready."

He Jian nodded and said, "I have taught you the sword formation before. Now let's set up the formation and let me see if you are good at it."

At this time, He Jian was talking about the basic sword formation of the Tianyun Sword Sect. They had learned it when they were laying the foundation, and the key points had been explained clearly. What they had to learn in the next two months was to change the formation based on the basic sword formation so that they could flexibly deal with various situations.

"yes!"

The voices of the seven people were also very loud. Then at the same moment, the seven people moved in unison. At the same time, spiritual power flowed in formation, and the seven people communicated with each other. Sword shadows also appeared faintly behind them.

As the core, Nan Xi is the only one who can fully feel the flow of spiritual power of all seven people, while the others can only feel everyone through her.

In the sword formation, the core's spiritual power output is particularly important.

Therefore, everyone was paying attention to Nan Xi, to see what she would do.

At this moment, Nan Xi's spiritual power weakened, and the spiritual power that had just been built up collapsed in an instant, and suddenly nothing was left.

The sword shadow shattered, and everyone looked at Nan Xi.

Nan Xi pretended to be sad and disappointed, "It's all my fault. I didn't control my spiritual power well enough... Let's try again. I will try my best! I will definitely not hold you back!"

[Once, twice, three, four times…] Nan Xi silently said in her heart, [Six times at most! Then everyone will get fed up with me and decide to change the core.]

[The core of the sword formation has changed. Is it too early to change the leader? ! ]

Everyone who heard Nan Xi’s inner voice: Ha!

Although they felt very sorry for Nan Xi in the past, given the current situation, they certainly cannot let Nan Xi get her wish. Not to mention that Nan Xi is the strongest and deserves to be the leader and core.

Her refusal to accept the position only aroused their rebellion.

Let Nan Xi be the leader! The core!

He Jian's expression darkened and he said, "Come again."

Before starting, Nan Xi looked up at He Jian and was secretly delighted when she saw his expression. [Master's face turned black. If he makes this kind of mistake twice again, he will definitely not be able to get around me.]

Looking again, He Jian's face had become even darker.

But the reason why He Jian had a gloomy face was completely different from Nan Xi's. Nan Xi thought that he was angry because of Nan Xi's mistake, but in fact, He Jian was angry because Nan Xi was forced by the system and deliberately splashed dirty water on himself.

But he soon frowned and looked at Qi Zhao, Luo Tingyun and Shen Xinxi.

Among the several disciples, these three are the most reliable and I think they will definitely understand what he means.

So when they were about to start the battle again, Nan Xi saw the opportunity and was about to loosen the control of his spiritual power, but suddenly he found that the connection was suddenly cut off.

She was stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction where the connection was cut off.

Shen Xinxi looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I made a mistake just now."

She had a good attitude, and Nan Xi wasn't a hot-tempered person. After she realized what was happening, she shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'll do it again."

After saying this, he frowned in confusion.

[Hmm? Junior Sister Shen made a mistake? That's rare. Junior Sister Shen has always been very stable.]

Caught off guard by the compliment, Shen Xinxi blushed, and then said nothing, but silently became more serious.

Is she such a reliable person in the eyes of her senior sister?

Nan Xi hadn't realized anything yet, and was thinking slowly in her head, "I've made mistakes twice, and the key is that I'm not the only one who made the mistake. If I make the mistake again this time, Master will probably get mad and punish everyone involved, and then all my work today will be in vain."

Just after thinking about this, Nan Xi made a decision.

The third round of formation went smoothly.

He Jian said something politely, then asked everyone to practice again due to their unstable performance.

This was all within Nan Xi's expectations. She observed the team's actions, and then at a certain ordinary moment, her eyes fixed.

[——Right now.]

"bite!"

The connection was suddenly broken again. Nan Xi looked towards the broken place and found that Luo Tingyun's sword had fallen to the ground. He bent down to pick it up. After standing up, he frowned slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes, like the beautiful moon, were tinged with a little weakness.

"Sorry, I just felt unwell."

This reason was reasonable and logical. Nan Xi didn't notice anything wrong at all. She took two steps forward to take a look and frowned slightly.

"Are you okay? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Luo Tingyun shook his head slightly. "It's an old problem. It happens occasionally. Don't worry. When I have something important to do, I will take medicine to avoid this situation."

Nan Xi walked back to her seat with a heavy heart, and no one present had any objection.

When everyone was standing in place and about to start over again, Nan Xi suddenly reacted.

[Hmm? ? I failed to act again this time? ]

She looked up at He Jian and found that He Jian frowned slightly, but did not look at her. Instead, he glanced at the entire team and did not seem satisfied. Nan Xi was instantly shocked.

[Because I am not the only one who made a mistake, Master doesn’t even look at me anymore? Is the focus no longer on me? Damn it! ]

Nan Xi thought about it carefully, and decided that no matter what, she would make a big mistake this time.

So at the most critical moment, she was ready to cut off her spiritual power, and when everyone was swinging their swords, she just stopped. According to the current force, Luo Tingyun was next to her, and he would definitely be able to restrain the force and would not hurt her.

Nan Xi's thoughts were heard by everyone present, and Nan Xi vowed to do so.

[This time, Master will definitely lose his temper, and then I will start crying! ]

He Jian looked in the direction of Nan Xi, feeling a little speechless.

During this practice, the first few people did well, but at the most critical moment, when Nan Xi was preparing to act, the sword shadows behind them suddenly shattered, and there was a loud noise behind Nan Xi.

Then Nan Xi looked back in surprise.

Qi Zhaozheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled lightly, and smiled apologetically at Nan Xi, "I practiced too hard yesterday, and my spiritual power has not yet recovered. Now my spiritual power is exhausted, I am afraid I will not be able to practice for a while."

Nan Xi: “???”

She felt that this reason sounded familiar, but there were people who were more confused than her.

Lou Wenzhu said, "What happened today? I won't talk about Senior Sister and Junior Sister, but Senior Sister Xinxi, Senior Brother Azhao, what happened to you?"

She was very puzzled. Every time Nan Xi said she wanted to cause trouble, she felt nervous, but when she came to her senses, she found that someone else had a problem.

I practiced it five times today! Only one time was successful.

Although Lian Qianxing felt something was wrong, he was quickly misled by Lou Wenzhu and nodded silently. Jingfeng also nodded and said, "If you do this again, I will punish you by making you compete with me."

Nan Xi: “?”

Except for the other protagonist, Nan Xi, the other three smart people just looked at these junior brothers and sisters deeply.

“That’s enough!”

He Jian shouted angrily, which successfully gave Lou Wenzhu a big shock. She jumped back to her seat and didn't dare to say another word.

Before Nan Xi could fully understand the situation, she met He Jian's gaze.

The other party said: "As direct disciples, you have made mistakes again and again, Nan Xi!"

Nan Xi looked serious when her name was suddenly called.

"Disciple is here!"

"As the leader, you are also responsible for today's situation. Starting tomorrow, you must lead your fellow disciples to practice the sword formation to the best of your ability!"

Nan Xi: “? Disciple thinks.”

She can't.

And the sword continued seriously.

"Don't say any more, or you will be punished by fasting for a year."

Nan Xi: “…”
