Chapter 5

He Jian asked the disciples present several questions.

"Did you hear the senior sister say these words with your own ears? Did you also see them with your own eyes?"

When the disciples heard this question, they thought He Jian didn't trust them, and they immediately became anxious, "Disciples guarantee that what I said is true. I heard Senior Sister say this with my own ears."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

When this question was asked, the disciples were a little hesitant, because although they were absolutely sure that it was Nan Xi's voice, they had indeed not heard that voice come out of Nan Xi's mouth.

"…At that time, Senior Sister was hiding in the dark, so we didn't see her at first. But these words were something only Senior Sister would say at that time, and we heard them with our own ears."

As soon as this answer came out, He Jian had an idea in his mind.

But in front of his disciples, he usually maintained a dignified image, so his expression did not change, and he just said, "I understand."

The disciples looked at He Jian nervously, waiting for his decision, but their hearts sank because of He Jian's expression. Who said that the eldest senior sister was the most beloved disciple of the master? If they said that the eldest senior sister was abnormal, they would surely not get any good results.

But the next moment, He Jian's face turned gloomy and he said, "Please don't make anything public about what happened today."

"If you hear similar words again in the future, don't show any abnormality in front of the senior sister. Regardless of whether she is normal or not, there may be other key points in this matter."

He Jian had an unkind face, but what he said was very reasonable, which surprised the disciples for a moment.

The disciples were a little confused about He Jian's words and didn't quite understand their meaning, but He Jian quickly dismissed them. When they left, they hadn't thought through He Jian's words yet.

…

He Jian postponed part of the itinerary. In addition to going to Qi Qian's master's sect to seek justice for Nan Xi, he also had to hide in the dark to see whether Nan Xi's true feelings were only revealed to him or to everyone else.

If the entire cultivation world could hear Nan Xi's thoughts, things would become very difficult.

And now, through the disciples' reactions, He Jian was at least 50% certain that the disciples could hear Nan Xi's thoughts.

The disciples soon saw Nan Xi again.

The difference between direct disciples and ordinary inner disciples is that due to the difference in talent, direct disciples are always one or several steps ahead of inner disciples.

Therefore, apart from a few rest days, sword training and supervision on weekdays are all led by direct disciples and ordinary inner disciples.

What he led this group of disciples to practice was only the signature sword style of the Tianyun Sword Sect, that is, the Tianyun Sword Method, and the first few styles of the mastery chapter which was only one level higher than the entry-level style.

The disciples are still in the familiarization stage, but the direct disciples have already completed the complete version, so leading the disciples in practice does not count as practice for the direct disciples. Nan Xi still needs to practice his own swordsmanship to be considered practice.

So she would get up earlier every day, complete her own tasks first, and then lead the ordinary disciples.

Today is no exception.

But as soon as she arrived at the martial arts arena, she keenly sensed a different atmosphere from before.

Not to mention the strange expressions of the dozen or so disciples who had spoken to her yesterday, there were other direct disciples on the scene besides her.

Each peak in the sect has a separate martial arts training ground, and the elders occupy each peak. The direct disciples also lead other disciples separately. Unless there are no direct disciples in that peak, they will come to the main peak to let the eldest disciple lead.

After all, each elder has a different sword style, and of course they teach their disciples in accordance with their aptitude.

There is one day every week when everyone practices Tianyun swordsmanship in the main martial arts arena, but today is not one of those days.

Another disciple on the field was also a little nervous when he saw Nan Xi. He bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Senior Sister."

Before getting close, Nan Xi looked at Lian Qianxing leisurely, and then after getting close, her expression changed to the heroine's usual melancholy and simple look.

She smiled at Lian Qianxing in a friendly manner: "You're welcome, Junior Brother Lian. Thank you very much for yesterday."

As expected, such friendliness made Lian Qianxing relax his vigilance a little. When the Qi migration was not mentioned, the heroine could still be considered normal. Nan Xi did not have any special tasks today. She only needed to lead the disciples in practice as usual.

Seeing Lian Qianxing's innocent look, Nan Xi's eyebrows inadvertently curved.

She said on the surface: "Junior brother, you are here today because?"

I feel emotional inside.

【Junior brother is so cute.】

Nan Xi did not notice that the little junior brother in front of him suddenly blushed, nor did he notice the fleeting surprise on the faces of the neatly lined up disciples.

Lian Qianxing said hesitantly, "Master, Master said that I have mastered the Tianyun Sword Technique and asked me to practice with Senior Sister for a while. After I have mastered it, I can lead the disciples of the peak on my own."

"I see."

Nan Xi's brows relaxed slightly, "Then you stand next to me."

Up to now, although the heroine has done a lot of stupid things and her cultivation is not outstanding compared with other direct disciples, the Tianyun Sword Sect has always had a good reputation and the eldest sister has always been given a lot of honor.

Just like other direct disciples, they all need to walk in front of the senior disciple before becoming independent.

The ordinary disciples still recognized her as the senior sister.

Suddenly thinking of something, the smile on Nan Xi's brows faded a little.

She secretly sighed, "Cherish the present days, I won't be considered a senior sister in the future."

A senior sister who is in name only is not capable of shouldering the responsibilities of a senior sister.

Disciples: “???”

Lian Qianxing raised his head in an instant, his face no longer blushing, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Nan Xi had already become serious, holding the hilt of the sword, and said: "Go through the introductory form first, and then do the small test."

Her sudden serious expression interrupted everyone's thoughts. Even Qianxing quickly grasped the hilt of the sword. Many disciples followed Nan Xi in drawing and swinging their swords. The sounds of swords being unsheathed, the sound of swords breaking through the air, and the sound of clothes fluttering immediately became the main melody in the martial arts arena.

But today, all the disciples were unable to enter the state immediately.

What did the senior sister mean when she said that she might not be the senior sister anymore?

There was also a small group of people who thought they knew part of the situation and thought sadly: There really is something wrong with our senior sister. We are afraid that we will no longer be able to practice swordplay with her in the future.

Although the senior sister’s teaching in the past was not very serious, it is undeniable that they have indeed learned a lot under her guidance.

While the disciples were practicing sword skills despite their doubts and sorrow, He Jian was not in the Tianyun Sword Sect at that time.

He came to another sect close to Tianyun Sword Sect, the Yuxu Sect, which was also the sect where Qi Qian was.

The Yuxu Sect is different from the Tianyun Sword Sect, which are large sects that have stood for a thousand years. Instead, it is an emerging sect that has suddenly risen in the past few decades and is about to become one of the first-class sects.

As the head of Tianyun Sword Sect, He Jian's sudden arrival in Yuxu Sect was enough to attract everyone's attention and cause them to feel a certain degree of panic.

Regarding the incident between Qi Qian and Nan Xi a few days ago, the elders of the Yuxu Sect not only did not stop it, but even seemed to be encouraging it.

But after all, as the great senior sister of the Tianyun Sword Sect, the feeling of being as humble as dust in the Yuxu Sect is indescribable.

But they did not expect that Qi Qian would treat Nan Xi so harshly. In this way, they accidentally went too far. It can even be said that the humiliation Nan Xi suffered in Yuxu Sect this time was tantamount to Yuxu Sect openly slapping the face of Tianyun Sword Sect.

They should have gone to apologize as soon as possible, but they kept putting it off, hoping that no one would seek justice for Nan Xi.

——But the arrival of He Jian broke their lucky mentality.

Not to mention how He Jian showed off his power in the main hall of the Yuxu Sect and forced Qi Qian to pay compensation and apologize to the other party's master, but when it came to what they should do most, which was to go to Nan Xi to apologize, he hesitated.

He Jian knew very well that his disciple was deeply bewitched by Qi Qian. If he came to apologize, it was hard to guarantee how Nan Xi would react.

If it were in the past, he might have refused to let Qi Qian come to apologize, but because he thought of what was in his heart, after a little thought, He Jian let Qi Qian come to apologize.

And a condition was specified, which was that Qi Qian could come alone and could not bring anyone else.

At this point, He Jian's purpose of coming here has been fulfilled.

Nanxi here.

After the first period of practice, she let her disciples rest for a while, and she found a more secluded place to sit down.

This position was very clever. Not only could she see the movements of all the disciples, but she was also at a distance where only a few people could hear her voice even if she shouted.

Lian Qianxing was instructed by her to discuss with other disciples, so no one could disturb her at this time.

Because of the long distance, Nan Xi also relaxed the control of her facial expression a little. She became much calmer, her eyes were empty, and her mind was thinking slowly.

[If nothing unexpected happens, Master is already in the Zuxu Sect at this time, asking Qi Qian and his gang to pay compensation and apologize, right? ]

The disciples closest to Nan Xi suddenly heard the eldest senior sister's voice. Although it was not very clear, the content of it instantly made them prick up their ears. They ignored idle chatter and their expressions were determined as if they could attain enlightenment instantly.

Lian Qianxing was also among these disciples. He reacted the most violently and turned his head sharply to look in the direction of Nan Xi.

Nan Xi was a little distressed, "I would rather my master not be so kind to me. Even if Qi Qian gave compensation and apologized, what would be the use?"

This then led to a series of bizarre reactions from the love-brained heroine, which was the first step in making He Jian lose heart towards the heroine.

The disciples who heard her inner voice frowned, feeling extremely disappointed with the sword.

The headmaster went to seek justice for the eldest senior sister, but the senior sister was still concerned about Qi Qian and felt that it was useless. If it were them, she would never want to care about this disciple again.

At this time, these disciples did not realize that something was wrong. They just thought that Nan Xi did not control the volume of his mumbling and they heard it.

Only Lian Qianxing noticed something was wrong. The boy's chubby face turned serious as he stared in the direction of Nan Xi.

Senior Sister hates Qi Qian so much, it is definitely not because she doesn't want Master to help her get justice, there must be other reasons.

[Given Qiqian's bad temper, even if I asked him to pay a gift and apologize, it wouldn't change his attitude towards me. He might even try to hurt me when he apologizes.]

Disciples: “?”

This doesn't seem like something Senior Sister Nan Xi would say. I'm not sure. Let me listen again.

[Wait! I remember this part, Master first brought out Qi Qian who was showing off in front of the disciples of the Zuxu Sect, and threw him to the ground like a piece of shit in front of everyone, making Qi Qian even more injured, humiliating him severely, and even asking them to pay compensation and apologize! ]

Nan Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, [Fuck! This is so fucking awesome! Why can't you just broadcast it to me? ]

Disciples: “!!!”

Really? They want to see it too!

Oh, that's not right.

Putting aside this disgusting adjective and why the senior sister knew this detail, what was the reason for her reaction that seemed like revenge?
