Chapter 35
Frightened by He Jianjue's refusal to change his mind, Nan Xi pondered over it seriously.
[Although I am also the leader in the story, the development is a little different. ]
In the plot, the heroine is the leader on the surface, but in reality everyone listens to Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun. On the surface, the plot has not changed much, but if He Jian does not make other arrangements, the plot will have a loophole.
Although Nan Xi thought about it, she felt that this loophole could not be blamed on her, after all, she did it perfectly...
Nan Xi suddenly remembered that she had just failed once and was shocked.
【Huh? Why did I only fail once? 】
She thought about it carefully again and soon remembered everything that had just happened. After sorting it out in her mind, she keenly smelled the scent of conspiracy.
But before she could think about it, He Jian spoke again, "Also, due to your instability, the arrangement of the sword formation will be changed in the future."
He Jian's words interrupted Nan Xi's thoughts, and she instantly felt that all the abnormalities were back on track.
[Yeah, right, right! That’s exactly what I feel. Next, Master will definitely exclude me and make another set of arrangements for the critical moment. Not bad.]
【It is true that it is unstable. 】
【Let me think about how I should react in the plot. 】
Nan Xi thought about it and found that the heroine's reaction was not big. She was just sad and depressed, which made her more convinced that she was useless.
The subsequent practice was uneventful.
At the end, He Jian thought of something and said to Nan Xi very deliberately: "You go back today. They still have some problems. I need to teach them individually."
"Okay!"
Nan Xi slipped away without any doubt.
But He Jian, including everyone else, once again began to have doubts in their hearts.
The plot is about what this thing is that has appeared very frequently in Nan Xi's mind recently, and to what extent has it restricted Nan Xi.
A guess silently arose in the minds of several people.
How much does this plot have to do with the punishment?
Lou Wenzhu was still complaining, "Why did you perform so poorly before? Senior Sister is fine, but Junior Sister is not in good health."
Shen Xinxi touched Lou Wenzhu's head and smiled slightly, "Maybe he just doesn't want Senior Sister to make a mistake."
Before they could say anything more, He Jian took a deep look at the direction where Nan Xi left, and then sighed slightly, "We don't understand the plot that Xi'er is talking about, and we don't have any clues about the system. For now, we can only cooperate with her and help her secretly."
"And the other arrangement she mentioned, I also have to make here."
After hearing what Kazuki said, everyone's expressions turned serious.
He Jian said: "Qi Zhao, Luo Tingyun, if you encounter a crisis in the Dibai Secret Realm, no matter what your eldest sister is doing at the time, you need to make a judgment based on her voice and make the most favorable choice."
"I will inform all the disciples later. I hope you will be aware of this."
When the two were called, they took it seriously and nodded.
Nan Xi left very cleanly. After completing her mission, all she wanted to do was go back and lie down.
If she knew about He Jian's current arrangements, she would definitely be shocked.
The arrangement made by He Jian in the plot is that if she does anything insane again, Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun will jointly take on the role of team leader.
Although He Jian's arrangement at this time seems to be the same as in the plot, the inner meaning is completely different. In fact, it is still centered on Nan Xi.
The arrangement in the plot actually hints at giving up on the heroine.
…
There were no mistakes in the practice for the next two months. Time passed quickly and it was almost time for the Dibai Secret Realm to open.
At this time, the young cultivators in the world of cultivation would go to the center of the world of cultivation, which is a large city near the direction of Tianyun Sword Sect - Panxian City.
The rise of Panxian City is also related to the Dibai Secret Realm. It was originally just an ordinary town until the Dibai Secret Realm appeared not far away. Since then, Panxian City has been prosperous with people coming and going.
The opening of the Dibai Secret Realm marked the most prosperous time for Panxian City in the past hundred years.
A group of people from the Tianyun Sword Sect came here. There are different forces among the sects here. The disciples live in a whole tavern and are treated very well.
One of the elders who led the disciples this time was the chief elder. Originally, two elders were to be sent, but Li Yunzheng also wanted to follow, so the other elder was spared.
That night.
Nan Xi had just finished the last short plot before entering the Dibai Secret Realm, and came back with a tool that could communicate with Qi Qian. She looked at the not-so-valuable little magic weapon with some disdain, and still couldn't figure it out.
Why was the heroine bewitched by such a small thing?
Tomorrow is the day when the Dibai Secret Realm opens. Luo Tingyun was feeling a little restless, so he came out of the room to get some fresh air. Before he could appreciate the bright moonlight for a while, he heard Nan Xi's chattering voice.
[Tomorrow there is an important plot, I want to think about how I should deal with it better. ]
[Well... I don't really want to embarrass the sect, but there's nothing I can do. I can only promise that I won't really harm everyone's interests, but I can't do anything more.]
[Oh, yes, I just bought some pastries. Do you want to give one to my junior sister? ]
Luo Tingyun lowered his head and saw Nan Xi holding a magic weapon that was shining with bright light in her hand. She was tossing it nonchalantly with a calm expression, which showed a kind of peace that he had never seen before. Even though she was thinking about something that made people feel uncomfortable, her expression was relaxed.
Such things could not affect her faith in the Tao.
Luo Tingyun thought about it and felt that Nan Xi was very powerful.
If one's state of mind is damaged, it would be impossible to break through the Golden Core so smoothly.
He was stuck in the foundation-building process for quite some time.
Nan Xi was just about to go upstairs when she suddenly felt something strange. She looked up and saw Luo Tingyun standing at the wooden railing, with her head slightly lowered. There was a bright moon behind her and her hair was stained with silver light, making her look extremely beautiful.
Her eyes lit up immediately and she waved to Luo Tingyun, "Junior sister."
Nan Xi walked forward quickly, took out a shortbread from her storage ring, and smiled at Luo Tingyun, "I was just thinking about it. Junior Sister, I brought this for you. It's delicious. Do you want to try it?"
Luo Tingyun was a little dazed. He was used to fasting, but after a little hesitation, he took the puff pastry and took a bite under Nan Xi's expectant gaze.
The filling is sweet but not greasy, and has an alluring aroma.
"How is it?" Nan Xi asked with some anticipation.
Luo Tingyun nodded, "Not bad."
The two didn't talk much. After eating the puff pastry, Luo Tingyun made an excuse to go back to his room, and Nan Xi also wanted to go back to rest.
The second day.
There were hundreds of disciples from the Tianyun Sword Sect, all of whom were under a hundred years old, gathered together at the entrance to the Dibai Secret Realm.
Of course, the people here are not only disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect, but also the five major sects, lesser-known sects such as Yuxu Sect, or those unknown sects and independent cultivators. Anyone under a hundred years old and with a certain fighting ability is here at this time.
This was a true gathering of heroes, with all the young geniuses in the world of cultivation here, and the Tianyun Sword Sect was also a standout among them.
But this year, the Tianyun Sword Sect is not very popular. There is only one reason for this: they are too young.
"That's the Tianyun Sword Sect? They all look talented."
"What's the use of having a talented person? The other major sects all have at least one Jindan-stage disciple in charge. The disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect are too young and have already fallen behind."
When these whispers reached their ears, the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect couldn't help but tilt their gazes towards Nan Xi.
They also have a Jindan-stage disciple who is less than 30 years old. They are being low-key by not telling you about it. If they did, you would be scared to death!
The disciples were secretly proud in their hearts, but did not show it on their faces.
At this time, Nan Xi's gaze had already fallen on Qi Qian who was not far away.
Due to the sect's reasons, Qi Qian was not very noticeable here. Instead, it was she, the eldest senior sister of the Tianyun Sword Sect, who was bearing the gazes of countless people.
The world of cultivation is so vast that the entanglement between Nan Xi and Qi Qian is only known within a certain range. Looking across the entire world of cultivation, especially in far-flung places, people have only heard a few words about it.
Although there are some people who are well-informed, they are in the minority.
In the plot, the first step for Qi Qian to become famous is to defeat Qi Zhao in the Tianyun Sword Sect, that is, in the sword competition. Although there were mistakes in the first step, the system corrected the plot in the end and the effect was almost the same.
And the second step is right now.
Wu Zhuo, a disciple of the Yuxu Sect, had already set his sights on Nan Xi and narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.
Then the item in his hand slowly flew out and went towards Nan Xi.
Nan Xi has been paying attention to the movements here.
【Here it comes! 】
The eyes of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples could not help but fall on Nan Xi.
[That Wu Zhuo will seduce me through a paper crane that transmits a message. The message contains Qi Qian's voice, probably asking us to come over. When the time comes, I need to respond immediately and express my love for Qi Qian.]
[She is really cunning. Anyway, this way, everyone will know that Tianyun Sword Sect’s senior sister Xinyue Qi has moved, and through me, she will make the Yuxu Sect attract attention. ]
[But this is not the most important thing. The most important point is that a Jindan-stage cultivator will suddenly attack me! That's right! This is also their conspiracy. I want to appear to be very useless, while Qiqian can save the beauty and restrain the Jindan-stage cultivator.]
Nan Xi is always used to thinking about what she is going to do next, but she usually doesn't say it so clearly.
But this time it's different. The description of this part in the plot is very one-sided. It just says that the heroine received a paper crane and went to find Qi Qian, then was attacked, and then was rescued by a hero.
The impact caused by the heroine's performance was basically not mentioned, but Nan Xi felt that there was a conspiracy a long time ago, so she had been paying attention to the developments there.
At this moment, he sorted out the specific situation in his mind and gritted his teeth.
[That Jindan stage cultivator must have been arranged long ago. They want to step on me to get to the top.]
The expressions of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples became more and more serious as Nan Xi continued to reveal things. The last sentence he said directly broke out the low pressure, and the spearhead was directed at the Yuxu Sect.
Nan Xi's last words were also heard before she took her final action.
[The plot must be carried out...but I will definitely not let these people get what they want outside of the plot.]
Behind Nan Xi, Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao looked at each other and gripped their swords tightly.
At the same time, countless people who were paying attention to the Tianyun Sword Sect also noticed that something was wrong with them.
"What happened to the Tianyun Sword Sect?"
"What kind of sect is that? It seems to be called the Yuxu Sect."
"Their mood seems strange. Are they going to have a fight before entering the secret realm?!"
The last person to speak had a hint of excitement in his tone.
