Chapter 54

After a brief greeting, Nan Xi and a group of disciples were taken by Li Yunzheng to a famous local restaurant.

When I saw that the restaurant was empty, I realized that Li Yunzheng had booked this day in advance. This time, I realized how powerful my uncle-master really was.

Nan Xi appeared reserved on the surface, but in reality she ate one bite of meat at a time with each chopstick. Her eating speed could be described as swift. If she hadn't been complaining so often about how delicious this and that were, everyone would have been fooled by Nan Xi's appearance.

There were hundreds of disciples from the Tianyun Sword Sect, enough to make the originally empty tavern extremely lively.

While Nan Xi was eating, she took the time to glance in the direction of Li Yunzheng.

Li Yunzheng still had a slightly casual smile on her face. Beside her were Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao. The smiles of these two people were never deep, and they didn't show any expression at this time.

Nan Xi glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to eat happily.

This is different from what she usually eats. It is made of spirit beast meat and some ingredients with spiritual energy by professional chefs. After eating it, she doesn't need to spend much effort to refine and eliminate impurities, and it can also nourish her spiritual meridians. It is definitely a good thing.

The only drawback was that, as a cultivator, Nan Xi's big appetite was useless when it came to this kind of food, and he couldn't eat too much.

Nan Xi was too lazy to pay attention to what Li Yunzheng and the others were saying, but she didn't know that what they were saying was related to her.

Knowing that Nan Xi would be looking this way, they all maintained a calm appearance.

"According to..., the subsequent plot may be even more disadvantageous to Senior Sister."

Luo Tingyun slowly spoke out his thoughts, "The plot that Senior Sister described seems to be not only the result of calculation and speculation, but also a kind of predetermined future."

Having said that, even though he was trying to control his expression, Luo Tingyun's face turned a little colder.

“But no matter whether it is predetermined or calculated, at least we know that the plot can be changed.” Li Yunzheng played with the wine bottle in his hand with a smile on his lips.

"Also, why can I suddenly hear the system? Do you have any guesses?"

Li Yunzheng's words made the other two people think deeply.

Qi Zhao shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have any clue, it just suddenly occurred to me that it was the same as what Senior Sister was thinking."

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and then Luo Tingyun said: "In the future, let's see what Senior Sister will do. I will follow the arrangements of Uncle Master and Master."

He looked at Li Yunzheng's expression, and it was clear that she was thinking about something, but at the moment, he didn't know the specific plot, and he didn't know when the plot of expelling Nan Xi from the sect would take place.

I guess we can only take it one step at a time.

"I understand. I will explain this to your master when I get back." Li Yunzheng said, "Not just you. When necessary, all disciples of the Tianyun Sword Sect must cooperate with us or your eldest senior sister."

The current situation is favorable to them. Nan Xi's thoughts and the system's words can be heard, but they don't know this.

If you make good use of this, you will be able to catch the system one day.

…

After eating and resting for almost a whole day and night, the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect finally set out on their return journey.

At the same time, the names of those who performed outstandingly in the Dibai Secret Realm this time have quietly spread throughout the entire cultivation world. Everyone is amazed and impressed by the excellence of the younger generation this time, and is even more surprised at the outstanding performance of the Tianyun Sword Sect.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yuxu Sect gradually emerged in the entire cultivation world.

However, unlike the glorious impression Nan Xi had in mind, this time along with the rising fame of the Yuxu Sect, there were also rumors that were difficult to stop.

For example, the Yuxu Sect has a bad tradition, and it is easy for villains to come out of the Yuxu Sect, etc. Although these rumors are limited to the status of the Yuxu Sect and are not widely spread, they have added a stain to the sect.

Nan Xi was completely unaware of this.

Although she was able to endure hardships, she would never compromise herself when she had the chance to enjoy herself. Therefore, she not only slept for nearly a day and a night in the temporary residence, but also slept soundly on the flying boat back to the clan.

It can be said that he is completely oblivious to what is happening outside.

By the time she regained consciousness, she had already returned to the Tianyun Sword Sect.

The longer the disciples were gone, the more deserted the Tianyun Sword Sect had been. The Dibai Secret Realm was not a trivial matter, so when everyone returned, He Jian and all the elders were waiting for them at the martial arts training ground.

It's not that they are asking everyone to take any kind of test right after they come back, but He Jian and others are going to tell all the disciples the key points about the Dibai Secret Realm and the sect's future practice guidelines.

The return trip by flying boat is much slower than the outbound trip, which at least ensures that everyone will have eliminated their fatigue after returning.

Every batch of disciples has a critical node. After this node, they will reduce systematic practice and focus on free experience and cultivation.

The nodes of the group of disciples who can enter the Dibai Secret Realm are the most obvious. Regardless of their previous cultivation level or age, the trip to the Dibai Secret Realm will definitely speed up the growth of all disciples.

This group of disciples who entered the Emperor White Secret Realm were the youngest group to enter the Emperor White Secret Realm in the history of Tianyun Sword Sect.

There is not a single person over 100 years old, and there are less than 50 people over 50 years old. More than half are children in their twenties.

Seeing all the disciples gathered, He Jian's gaze stayed on Nan Xi for a moment, and then he looked at all the disciples.

For the monks, only a few of them can be considered young and strong, and the rest are children, but they went to the dangerous Dibai Secret Realm, and everyone came back safely.

The growth is also visible to the naked eye.

Even someone as strict as He Jian was very relieved at this moment.

Nan Xi was standing below He Jian, facing all the disciples. At this moment, he glanced at everyone present and listened to what He Jian was saying.

"Everyone has worked hard on this trip, so I won't say anything unnecessary."

"From now on, the sect will no longer organize collective sword training. Food, lodging, and other supplies in the sect will no longer be free. They must be purchased with contribution points."

"Contribution points can be earned by accepting tasks. Contribution points can be exchanged for not only food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but also secret books and magical instruments."

"From now on, all activities in the sect will be posted on the notice board, and everyone can participate voluntarily."

Cultivation mainly depends on human effort. Confining disciples in one place should only exist in the early stages of cultivation. Now, more than ten years have passed, and almost everyone can stand on their own feet. It is time to go out and experience life.

But it is a stereotype. In reality, the resources provided by the sect's contribution points are several times better than those in the outside world.

Everyone was prepared for this to happen. Although they were somewhat disappointed after learning about the contribution points, they were more excited about being able to go out and have fun in the future.

Nan Xi had almost finished listening and began to be distracted.

[This is so funny. You all look like college students who want to go out and have fun. Kids, the world out there is dangerous.]

What is a college student? The disciples were a little confused.

However, Nan Xi did not answer their questions, but quickly changed her mind.

[Speaking of events, it seems like there will be one soon, and there will be a key plot at that time. ]

?

Everyone pricked up their ears quietly.

Nan Xi thought about it for a moment, and then remembered what the plot was. [It seemed to be an event for outstanding disciples from many sects, an alternative sword-fighting competition called the 'Xianmen Grand Meeting', held once every ten years, but this time the Yuxu Sect squeezed in.]

She acted very conscientiously, pretending that she had an audience.

[Yes, it’s that Qibian that everyone hates, it’s following us like a ghost! ]

[At this point in the plot, I am officially starting my journey of paying for my love and confessing my love to Qi Qian in public.]

Everyone: “?”

[Qi Qian will be praised and praised for saving a proud girl here, and then he will abuse me physically and mentally.]

Everyone was shocked and expressed their disapproval of the plot. Some people couldn't help themselves and shook their heads slightly, seeming to have suppressed their emotion, but their eyes were still expressing their resistance.

The faces of the elders including He Jian were as dark as the bottom of a pot, but fortunately, they had said almost everything that needed to be said. Jian Xiu did not like to talk about formalities, so several elders then told everyone that they could come to them no matter what the situation was or if they encountered any problems.

Finally, after just a few words, the group announced its disbandment.

After the meeting, He Jian almost gritted his teeth and called out the names of Luo Tingyun, Qi Zhao and others, and went to the council hall for a meeting along with many elders.

Nan Xi was completely unaware of this. He Jian only said this after she left. Nan Xi had glanced at He Jian's expression before that and seeing that he had no intention of keeping her, she quickly slipped away.

A quarter of an hour later, in the meeting hall.

He Jian sat at the top, his eyes focused mainly on the several standing disciples, and his voice was deep.

"Everyone should know why I called you here, so I won't say any more."

"Everyone has heard Xi'er's thoughts just now. There will be a so-called plot in the Immortal Gate Gala, which will make her embarrassed in front of the public."

In He Jian's eyes, Nan Xi was forced to confess her love to that bastard Qi Qian in public, which was tantamount to humiliation. The focus was not on the confession but on this thing called Qi Qian.

Thinking of this, He Jian even felt a little sad.

"Xi'er has been well-behaved and lovable since she was a child, but now she is forced to do such a humiliating thing. It's really abominable."

"I came here today to discuss with you all how we should resolve this plot."

Luo Tingyun glanced at Qi Zhao, thought for a moment, and then spoke, telling him the information he knew.

"In this secret realm, we learned that the so-called plot is not unchangeable. In order to change the plot and save the disciples in the secret realm, Senior Sister suffered a lot."

He saw the tremor in He Jian's eyes and knew that the other party wanted to know the details, but he had to finish the important things right away.

"But the plot cannot be changed blindly. Matters related to the reunion, even if they are changed at the time, will be repaired by the system afterwards. In addition, changes to the plot cannot be something that Senior Sister subjectively thinks about and does."

"If Senior Sister takes the initiative to change the plot, she will be punished."

After Luo Tingyun finished speaking, everyone present fell into deep thought.

The Great Elder said: "I have guessed this before. Since the system wants to control Nan Xi, it will definitely control her actions."

The third elder said: "This child is really wronged, but it is not impossible to make up for it. Do you have any ideas about the sword?"

He Jian met the gaze of the Third Elder with a slightly focused gaze. After pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea.

"You should be fine recently, right?" The third elder met He Jian's gaze and had a bad feeling. Then he heard him say, "Then you will be the leading elder this time."

"Also, Tingyun, Azhao, you are close to Xi'er and are the smartest, so you will be more troublesome this time."

He Jian's gaze was firm.

"Your mission is to stop Xi'er from confessing her love to Qi Qian in public, and to find out who the beauty of the day is. If possible, you must prevent Qi Qian from getting any help."

Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao lowered their heads.

"Disciple obeys your command."
