Chapter 6
Nan Xi, who was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly noticed the gazes of the disciples over there. She was dazed for a moment, then suddenly realized that the rest time given had passed, so she stood up slowly.
She gathered her thoughts, walked up to the group of disciples, and straightened her expression.
"Line up."
As soon as the voice containing spiritual power came out, the disciples who were sitting down or standing idly stood up straight the next moment. Everyone had a serious expression, gripped the hilt of the sword, and had a firm look in their eyes.
The team is in good order, and no one is slacking off. This is the trend of the majority. Even though there are no strict examinations on normal formations in the world of cultivation, there is no fault to be found in the team.
Nan Xi said nothing, picked up the sword and started to fight, leaving the task of shouting slogans to Lian Qianxing.
The disciples followed suit, but Nan Xi was serious at this time, without any unnecessary thoughts. However, the small number of disciples had not yet mastered their cultivation, and were scratching their heads while thinking about what she had just said.
It would be fine if the eldest senior sister knew clearly what was happening in the Yuxu Sect at this time. After all, the disciples taught by their parents always had magical weapons that they were not aware of.
But that attitude, that look as if he wanted the leader to slap Qi Qian a few more times, was really puzzling.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't sound like something Nan Xi would say. They really want to know what's going on. Could it be that the humiliation that Senior Sister suffered a few days ago was so severe that it made her sober?
After another half an hour, today's practice came to an end. It was then time for the disciples to practice on their own. This time was used to correct irregularities in the movements. The disciples needed to supervise each other and have the assistance of direct disciples.
The atmosphere is relatively relaxed.
Nan Xi still stood outside the crowd, watching the disciples who were practicing hard with a casual look.
It's not that she wasn't serious, but because she had to lead quite a few disciples, hundreds of them, and she needed to let go of her consciousness so that she could take in every disciple's movements and then check for omissions and make up for the deficiencies in time.
Lian Qianxing stood beside her and hesitated for a while before coming over to talk to her, "Senior Sister, you just..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly thought of the possibility that Nan Xi's words were from her heart. He paused and changed the subject abruptly, "When Senior Sister was instructing us, she looked very powerful."
Nan Xi was surprised to receive praise from her junior fellow apprentice. She suppressed her raised lips with great difficulty and said with self-pity, "If I were really that good, why couldn't I get Ah-Chuan to look at me more?"
It came again and again, and Lian Qianxing felt his scalp tingling for an instant.
There were two reasons why he had been avoiding Nan Xi. One was that no matter what he talked to Nan Xi, the topic would always turn to Qi Qian.
Second, she always acts like she is incapable of doing anything and that it is her own fault even if everyone bullies and humiliates her.
Although this look was not scary, it still made Lian Qianxing's scalp tingle. Although he had a good temper, he would always get angry and lose his mind. After encountering this situation once or twice, he made up his mind to avoid Nan Xi.
Nan Xi was always mindful of her own character, and she performed with great enthusiasm, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
[Junior brother, you are my dear junior brother, you have a keen eye for wisdom, even our master didn’t see how amazing I am, but now you have seen it.]
She didn't notice that the disciples who were practicing there were all looking at her, or even if they noticed, they didn't think anything of it.
After all, since a long time ago, whenever she opened her mouth to speak, she would be the focus of the crowd.
Lian Qianxing's newly emerged emotions were strangled in the cradle. For a moment, his language system was confused and he was choked by Nan Xi's voice and couldn't speak.
It was obvious in his eyes that Nan Xi's movements were crisp and neat, and her sword energy was much stronger than his. Even stronger than his senior brother, why was he saying in his heart that he was not that strong?
Nan Xi did not continue the conversation, she was still paying attention to the disciples' actions.
Many disciples were attracted by her words, but there were still many people practicing seriously. She was still talking just now, but at this moment she had already looked over and called out the name of that disciple.
"When you chop, you should lean a little towards this side."
Nan Xi walked over to him, asked him to repeat the action, and then corrected him.
Lian Qianxing took two breaths to react, then looked at his senior sister with a little admiration in his eyes.
When he was talking to Nan Xi just now, he was also paying attention to other disciples, but he couldn't even see everyone, let alone find out people's mistakes after doing two things at the same time.
In the past, people always said that although Nan Xi was the eldest senior sister of the Tianyun Sword Sect, she was obsessed with love, and her cultivation had not improved at all. Moreover, her strength was mediocre and she had no responsibility or talent at all.
Lian Qianxing never participated in such discussions, but in fact, he somewhat agreed with them in his heart.
But now it seems to him that Nan Xi does not match the rumors. Even though there are other senior brothers and sisters who can do the same as Nan Xi, those senior brothers and sisters have always been praised as outstanding ones.
He prided himself on being gifted and had been praised as a genius since childhood. His cultivation was higher than that of many people who had entered the sect a dozen years earlier than him. However, he could still feel the barrier between himself and Nan Xi.
——It is difficult for him to push down this barrier at the moment.
Nan Xi didn't know yet that her junior fellow apprentice had already begun to admire her. Ever since she entered the crowd, disciples had been asking her questions one after another.
Of course Nan Xi had to answer well, and after all the disciples had no questions, someone whispered to her.
"Grand Sister, I heard that the headmaster went to the Yuxu Sect to seek justice for you. What do you think about this?"
The group of people who had just heard Nan Xi's voice had already widely informed everyone about this matter during the practice period, but no one had asked about it. When this person spoke up, the disciples around him all looked at him as if he were a warrior.
The disciple felt embarrassed being stared at and looked at Nan Xi nervously.
Nan Xi was stunned by the question.
[What an informed source! Could this junior fellow have connections in the Yuxu Sect? ]
The disciple choked, and the disciples around him looked at him with an expression of watching a good show. Everyone knew where the news came from, but the smart ones would not say it out loud.
While he was still hesitating about how to answer, Nan Xi's face showed shock and fear.
"What? Master actually... No, I don't believe it. He didn't even tell me when he left."
Disciples: “?”
Didn't you know this a long time ago?
Everyone was confused by Nan Xi's reaction. The scene fell silent for a moment and no one knew how to react.
But the disciple who spoke first could only bite the bullet and said, "I don't know when I went there, but Master got justice for you and gave Qiqian a good lesson. Aren't you happy, Senior Sister?"
Nan Xi's eyes widened. "Give A-Qian a severe lesson? How could that be?"
She stepped back in disbelief, then shook her head, and was about to burst into tears.
The disciples were even more confused.
Although they had seen Nan Xi's current state countless times, that's not what you said just now, Senior Sister! Didn't you say it was so good, why would you still want to watch the broadcast?
They asked, didn't they just want to see if your reaction was different from before?
And they want to watch that live broadcast too!
During Nan Xi's immersive performance, a group of disciples suddenly realized something and slapped themselves on the head.
Oh no! I almost forgot that my sister is no longer normal.
This group of disciples were the first to sense that Nan Xi was abnormal. When that group of people spread the news just now, they were still thinking about it. As a result, because they practiced too seriously, they relaxed their vigilance.
The headmaster asked them to keep it a secret, but now that the senior sister has revealed her abnormality in public, do they want to help hide it?
To help or not to help? This is a serious question.
Seeing that no one responded, Nan Xi turned her attention to the disciples around her in a somewhat strange manner.
[What's going on? Am I abnormal because of the relocation? Why is no one talking? ]
[Or should I say...] Nan Xi's pupils trembled, [Could it be that I...]
Has your acting skills declined?
Before she could think about this, a disciple suddenly said loudly: "Sister, why bother to care about the man's fate? He treated you like this, so it's right for the master to teach him a lesson!"
After he said this, everyone's attention was focused on him.
The disciple subconsciously covered his mouth, feeling somewhat regretful. Although he wanted to hide the fact that his senior sister was no longer normal, what he had just said was indeed inappropriate.
Before others could nod in agreement, Nan Xi had already covered her chest and shook her head.
"Ah Qian, Ah Qian only pointed out my mistakes. It was me who was shameless and pestered him, which had an adverse effect on him. He was not wrong, so why should Master teach him a lesson?"
Disciples: “…”
They didn't understand and were shocked.
The disciples' interest immediately waned, and they regretted asking such a question. It was not the first time that they knew that their senior sister was stubborn, especially when it came to Qi Mi, they really could not understand her way of thinking.
[Wow...] Nan Xi sighed in her heart, [I can actually say such words, so awesome, so stupid, I want to hit him...]
Slap yourself.
Nan Xi hasn’t finished thinking.
In the confused sight of the disciples, two or three people rushed out again and said, "Sister! I, I, we, we think you are very powerful and have no shame. You don't have to think so of yourself."
They said things that went against their will, felt miserable inside, but had to put on a forced smile.
To say that Nan Xi went to deliver medicine to Qi Qian was indeed not shameless, but now, she has not realized her mistake, nor does she feel ashamed. She is still defending Qi Qian and likes him wholeheartedly. Coupled with her previous deeds, she can also be said to be shameless.
Nan Xi's biggest mistake was that she kept getting close to the other person even though she knew that the other person had no feelings for her and his attitude was extremely bad.
At this time, some people had already noticed that something was wrong. For example, when Nan Xi said some words, she did not open her mouth. Those words that did not match the surface always carried some ethereal and distant meaning.
But after being interrupted by several disciples, everyone was confused and just stared at Nan Xi and the others in amazement.
Lian Qianxing noticed the movement and only heard two sentences after coming here, and his pupils also trembled.
He was more sensitive than others and immediately noticed the difference between what was in his heart and what he said.
But Lian Qianxing didn't have time to think deeply about it. He just saw a disciple opening his mouth tremblingly, with an expression of doubt about life on his face.
"Grandmaster Sister, why are you scolding yourself so harshly..."
They always used such dirty words to scold people they disliked extremely, and never thought of using such words on themselves. However, Nan Xi used it so easily and scolded herself for being shameless.
"Is it unpleasant to hear?" Nan Xi lowered her head and shed tears, "But this is the fact, I have no sense of shame."
"Not only is she shameless..." The disciple wanted Nan Xi not to look down on her. As the eldest sister of Tianyun Sword Sect, she was the best among the same batch of disciples. Even though she had fallen behind now, she was still worlds apart from ordinary disciples.
Lian Qianxing's eyes became sharp for a moment.
He finally realized something was wrong. Judging from the reactions of his disciples, it seemed that he was not the only one who could hear the thoughts of the senior sister.
The problem now is that if Nan Xi lets this junior brother continue talking, he might realize that his true feelings have been revealed.
Lian Qianxing quickly spoke up and said, "Sister, today's training has not yet ended. It seems inappropriate to talk about personal matters."
Nan Xi seemed to have just realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly.
"Junior brother is right. I was too selfish and didn't consider your feelings. If you have any questions, please tell me."
The disciples finally returned to their positions with doubts on their faces and continued their practice.
Things seemed to be under control, Lian Qianxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Nan Xi staring at him without blinking. He was nervous being stared at, but Nan Xi looked away the next moment.
【What a good little junior brother. 】
Lian Qianxing was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed red. He didn't dare to look Nan Xi in the eye at all. Just then a disciple called him, so he hurried over there.
What just happened seems to be over, but the impact is still slowly fermenting.
More than one disciple noticed something was wrong, and this conversation with Nan Xi not only made them feel frustrated, but also gave them a lot of doubts.
Why did the elder sister pretend to be ignorant when she knew the master's intention? Why did she insist on doing what she knew was wrong? Why did she protect Qi Qian and at the same time think that Qi Qian's beating was a good thing?
And there's something wrong with the way he speaks.
He Jian returned when the atmosphere had regained a semblance of calm.
He saw that the disciples were serious in the martial arts arena, and his apprentice was also completing what she was supposed to do meticulously, and his brows unconsciously relaxed a little.
But after releasing his consciousness, he observed a little and heard some disciples' whispers. He Jian soon realized that something seemed to have happened in the martial arts field before he came.
The disciples had no idea what he was saying, but He Jian immediately understood the reason.
They must be able to hear Nan Xi's thoughts.
Although He Jian did not find a solution to the problem of leaking one's inner thoughts, he did have some ideas on how to deal with it.
First of all, before figuring out what the problem is, if only fellow disciples can hear your inner voice, you must not let Nan Xi know that your inner voice has been leaked. But if everyone can hear it, you must tell Nan Xi about the leak.
