Chapter 56

After Nan Xi settled Lou Wenzhu down, she began to think about how to solve the problem.

The best time has passed. To confess in public again seems to be possible at any time, as long as the situation is harmonious.

As the thoughts flashed through her mind, Nan Xi quickly made up her mind.

Let it be.

Of course, it would be best if this task could be completed without being seen by many people.

At this moment, Luo Tingyun asked two disciples to come in from outside, and they were saying something. Nan Xi didn't pay attention at first until she heard two key words.

"It's really lively outside. Let's go see how Senior Sister Wenzhu is doing. If there's nothing serious, we can't delay."

"Speaking of which, I wonder what Qi Qian was doing alone in that forest?"

"No matter what he does, it doesn't affect..."

The two men stopped talking when they saw Nan Xi. They moved aside silently, as if they regretted not noticing Nan Xi. However, she heard what they said, and Nan Xi's eyes lit up at that moment.

[What? There is actually a good thing for Qiqian to stay alone in a deserted place! ]

She immediately stood up, coughed lightly, and said to the people present: "I suddenly remembered something, so I have to leave first."

Perhaps because she was thinking about Qi Qian, Nan Xi didn't pay much attention to her words. She clasped her hands together unconsciously while speaking, with an apologetic smile on her face. After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away without waiting for their reply.

[This place will never be available again. I’m going to do the plot! 】

The four people present, in addition to the two disciples, there were Lou Wenzhu and Luo Tingyun. They were all a little dazed at this moment, because Nan Xi's movements and expressions just now were too lively and beautiful, as if some kind of seal had been opened to release charm.

They had never seen such a sister before.

Luo Tingyun took a step forward and said, "I'll go see your senior sister."

The other few people were ready to make a move, but then they heard the next sentence.

"Now that my sister has reached the Golden Core stage, if you continue to follow her, you will be discovered."

The flames of their passion were extinguished, and they immediately became listless. They could only watch Luo Tingyun walk away, whispering in their ears, "Actually, I don't want to see Senior Sister and Qi Qian confess their love, but if I don't go and see, how can I know if Senior Sister has been bullied?"

"That's right."

As for how Qi Qian ended up in the bamboo forest, the story has to start from a quarter of an hour ago.

Qi Qian watched Nan Xi leave, feeling a little depressed. In fact, he didn't see Nan Xi's eyes just now, but somehow, he could tell that Nan Xi didn't care. But thinking about it for a while, Nan Xi's eyes and actions at that time clearly meant...

He didn't think about it further because there was a young man standing in front of him.

Lian Qianxing was only fifteen years old at this time, and perhaps it was not the time for rapid growth yet, so his stature was much smaller than that of the others. After leaving the Dibai Secret Realm, his eyes were firmer than before, but still clean and clear.

Still a little shy.

Seeing Qi Qian looking over, she said, "Fellow Daoist Qi Qian, my senior sister told you to go over there and wait for her."

Lian Qianxing pointed to the location of the forest.

Qi Qian was startled, his previous thoughts were interrupted, and he couldn't help but look over there, and saw the forest. There was a path in the forest, and usually no one went there, but such an environment always makes people have associations.

Realizing that his guess was correct and that it was only delayed due to an unexpected event that Qi Qian himself did not realize, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist. I understand."

Qi Qian didn't say whether he would go or not. This was always the case when he was with Nan Xi. He didn't leave any confirmation, which made people think too much.

But Nan Xi was destined not to know his words today, let alone care about them. After Nan Xi knew Qi Qian's movements, she came over in a hurry, fearing that if she was a little late, this great thing would be gone.

So when Qi Qian looked over, he saw Nan Xi coming over in a hurry. The last trace of doubt disappeared, and he looked at Nan Xi with indifferent eyes.

"What do you want from me?"

Nan Xi looked at Qi Qian's face and was stunned for a moment before she could comprehend the plot in her mind.

"Ah-Qian, I came to you today because... I wanted to express my feelings."

"Although everyone knows what I'm thinking, I think I've never told you clearly. Maybe this is also the reason why you don't accept me..."

When Nan Xi was talking, Qi Qian also remained silent. If one did not look carefully, no one would be able to notice the faith and joy in his eyes.

But Luo Tingyun saw all of this.

As they were both in the Jindan stage, Luo Tingyun was not easily discovered here. He could hear Nan Xi's words clearly. From his angle, he could only see Nan Xi's profile, but he could still see the true expression on Nan Xi's face.

Then my heart involuntarily tightened and my emotions were beating fast.

He always felt that it was inappropriate. Even if it was just a performance, it was not worth it for Nan Xi and Qi Qian to say these words, not to mention that others did not know that it was a performance.

That Qi Qian always has bad intentions.

Finally, Nan Xi said, "I like you."

The moment the words fell, everything seemed to be silent. Luo Tingyun's heart trembled, his long eyelashes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes to hide the slightest jealousy in his eyes.

Qi Qian said: "I know your intention, but as a cultivator, you should focus on cultivation. I am not strong enough now and cannot protect the people around me. I have no intention of becoming a Taoist couple for the time being. I will do so in the future..."

He paused, then turned to the side and said, "The Immortal Gate Festival seems to be very lively."

If a simple-minded woman heard these words, she would probably be excited and feel that the future is full of hope. However, Nan Xi couldn't help but pah.

[It's fake, too fake. You're just painting a big cake for me, and then later on, you can say something like, 'I never made a promise,' and it's all clean.]

[Although the heroine is in love with Nao, we have to admit that Qi Qian is quite capable sometimes. ]

[Unfortunately, you were a little too young to meet me. ]

She kept complaining in her heart, and Luo Tingyun's expression eased a little. After weighing the impact of his appearance on the plot and confirming that it would not have much of an impact, he walked straight towards Nan Xi.

"Senior sister."

Nan Xi's mind was racing, and she couldn't control her desire to complain at all. Then she suddenly heard Luo Tingyun's familiar and pleasant voice. She thought it was an illusion, and blinked confusedly before looking in that direction.

"Junior sister?"

Luo Tingyun nodded, stood beside Nan Xi, and turned cold again when he looked at Qi Qian. "I have something to say to my senior sister. Please don't interfere with us."

These words were spoken mercilessly. Nan Xi was shocked in her heart, but she just looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She didn't say a word to help Qi Qian.

Qi Qian was stunned, his brows drooped, but because the target was Luo Tingyun, he was extra patient, and his expression was not cold. He glanced at Luo Tingyun and said, "In that case, Qi will go first."

After everyone left, Nan Xi looked at Luo Tingyun. In fact, she was a little surprised and happy.

I was surprised that Luo Tingyun was here, but I was also happy about her attitude towards Qi Qian. [If Junior Sister also likes Qi Qian, that would be a nightmare. I don't want to compete with Junior Sister for a piece of trash. Damn it. So why should I compete for a piece of trash?]

But while thinking this, he smiled at Luo Tingyun and asked, "Junior sister, why are you here?"

"I heard that my sister was coming, so I followed her to take a look."

Luo Tingyun whispered, "Senior Sister, don't worry. I don't like Qi Qian, and I even hate him a little."

"In my heart, he can never compare to my senior sister."

Nan Xi was in a very happy mood now, because the original mission of performing a social death in front of everyone had turned into just acting in front of a scumbag NPC. To her, it was a great thing. Then, in such a relaxed and somewhat happy atmosphere, she was caught off guard by Luo Tingyun's words.

She stared, and after thinking it over she was at a loss for words, and then she felt very happy.

[I didn't expect that Junior Sister likes me so much, hehe. ]

The iron-like female man hesitated for a moment, "Junior sister, don't say that, I will be shy."

Then, following this thought, he moved closer to Luo Tingyun and took his arm, "Okay, Junior Sister, come with me to experience the atmosphere of the event."

This was a very common action among women, so Nan Xi didn't think it was strange. Even though she noticed that Luo Tingyun's body stiffened, she just sneered in her heart.

【A junior sister who is easily shy. 】

Luo Tingyun was taken by Nan Xi to the scene of the Xianmen event. It was indeed very lively, but he always felt that he could not pay attention to anything, and could not feel the atmosphere of the event at all.

It was just because of Nan Xi's closeness that the secret part of my heart was bubbling with joy.

A little dizzy.

However, the two did not look at each other for long. Nan Xi herself was not used to holding hands with others. She did it happily just now, but now she quickly withdrew, thinking of other things.

[By the way, who was the proud lady that Qi Qian rescued, and where did they rescue her? ]

Nan Xi pondered, [First, I definitely don’t mean to intercept, second, I just want to take a look, very simply take a look, and finally, let me think about who she is and where she is.]

Luo Tingyun's mind also became slightly focused because of Nan Xi's voice.

[Forget it, even if I go, it's not worth being punished for this. ]

Nan Xi thought silently, and suddenly looked at Luo Tingyun again, "Junior sister, I'm hungry, let's go buy some food."

Luo Tingyun hadn't reacted to this sudden change of topic yet. There was some confusion in her beautiful eyes. Then she nodded and said obediently, "I will listen to you, Senior Sister."

There were actually two reasons why Nan Xi gave up. The first was that as she thought in her heart, she couldn't sacrifice herself just to ruin Qi Qian's chance. The second was that after reading the entire plot, she only knew about the situation of the proud girl, but there was no detail about where Qi Qian had saved people.

In the plot, this section is actually the later stage when the daughter of Tian Jiao appears. As another major female supporting role besides Que Luo Tingyun, she adds more turbulence to the heroine's emotions.

The matter of saving lives was just recalled in retrospect and passed over briefly.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Nan Xi was a carefree person and would not think too much about things that could not be changed. She asked Luo Tingyun, "Junior sister seems to have been to Huali City. Do you know where the food is delicious?"

Luo Tingyun heard Nan Xi's thoughts clearly and knew that there was no way out. He said without further ado, "I know a place, but it's a little far away."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as it tastes good."

On the way, Nan Xi asked Luo Tingyun what this shop did and how delicious it was. She was drooling at the thought. While walking on the road, she suddenly heard the sound of metal colliding.

"ah!"

A woman's scream rang out, and just as Nan Xi was on guard, a person came towards her head-on. The other person's clothes were flying, and the colors were bright like a peacock.

Nan Xi wanted to hide, but when she saw the scars on the other person's face and her eyes were tightly closed in fear, she knew that if she was really hit to the ground, she would be seriously injured. So she did not hide or give way, but let him hit her in the arms to reduce the impact, and then moved back two meters before stopping.

She used her skills well and neither of them was hurt.

The woman was shorter than her, and after bumping into someone, she subconsciously hugged the person tightly. Nan Xi couldn't see the person's face and could only sigh.

"Is this fellow Taoist injured?"
