Chapter 7

Whether outsiders can hear Nan Xi's inner voice will depend on whether Qi Qian will come to apologize tomorrow and whether he will respond to Nan Xi's inner voice.

While He Jian was thinking about how to deal with his inner voice, Nan Xi also noticed something was wrong.

After all, her consciousness was always watching this group of disciples. Her consciousness was not as sharp as He Jian's, and she could not easily distinguish what all the disciples said, but she could hear some of it.

Nan Xi noticed that the disciples were more confused about his actions this time, rather than angry or wanting to complain, so he paused for a moment and prepared to listen carefully to what the disciples had to say.

“Well done.”

A voice interrupted Nan Xi's thoughts. She turned around and bowed, "Hello, Master."

He Jian nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the disciples. His expression did not change, and he did not show any expression of satisfaction.

The disciples who had been practicing diligently and in an orderly manner just now began to make mistakes frequently under He Jian's watchful eye. A considerable number of people in the sect were afraid of He Jian, and were prone to making mistakes when they were nervous.

There was a trace of surprise on his face. "As a sword practitioner, you should have fearless faith. If you get nervous and make mistakes just because of my gaze, such mistakes can cost you your lives in actual combat in the future."

He criticized his disciples coldly, causing many of them to tighten their grip on their swords. They felt so stressed that it was difficult for them to think about what had just happened with Nan Xi.

Nan Xi was not nervous. Although she looked serious, she was thinking about many things in her mind, the most important of which was the upcoming mission.

It should be said that Nan Xi had already thought of this mission when she thought of going with Jian to seek justice for her.

In the original text, He Jian went to seek justice for the heroine, but the heroine did not appreciate it. She thought that He Jian's behavior would make Qi Qian hate her even more, so after knowing this, she immediately had a big fight with He Jian, and the two parted unhappily.

And next, Nan Xi is going to carry out this plot, that is, when He Jian speaks to Nan Xi and tells her that Qi Qian will come to apologize tomorrow.

As the head of the sect, He Jian's majesty is unquestionable. At this moment, the whole place was silent. The sound of the sword breaking through the air made even Qian Xing tense her face and remain silent.

At this time, Nan Xi's voice slowly emerged.

[Ah... I really don't want to face it. ]

The tone contained three parts of frustration, three parts of evasion, three parts of laziness, and one part of despair.

The disciples' serious mentality was suddenly pulled back.

Because the leader was there, they didn't dare to make any other unnecessary moves. So when they swung their swords and turned around, they secretly glanced at Nan Xi, and then pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what else Nan Xi would boldly say.

Nan Xi calmed down after this.

He Jian looked at her and said such sad words in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. Although he didn't know what Nan Xi didn't want to face, he still reminded him that he still had something to say to Nan Xi.

So He Jian said to Nan Xi with a stern face, "Come with me."

Then he said to Lian Qianxing, "Qianxing, you just watch here for a while."

Lian Qianxing quickly stood at attention and said in a straight line, "Disciple obeys your command."

He Jian took Nan Xi to the place where she had been resting before. The distance between her and the disciples was not too close, but they could not hear her normal conversation.

While guessing what Nan Xi's reaction would be, He Jian slowly said, "Tomorrow, Qi Qian from the Yuxu Sect will come to apologize to you. You should be prepared. It's best not to embarrass the Tianyun Sword Sect."

He Jian stared at Nan Xi closely, but before he could see any change in her expression, he suddenly heard a terrible wail.

[Ah! I knew it!]

Nan Xi closed her eyes in pain, not noticing that her master in front of her and the disciples over there suddenly shuddered and looked at her in shock.

The story has already begun, so Nan Xi has to finish it. When she opens her eyes again, she has already prepared her emotions.

"I, I heard that you, Master, went to teach A-Qian a lesson. How could you bully others by taking advantage of your power? A-Qian did nothing wrong. It was me...it was me..."

"Master, please take back your decision. Ah-Quan is right. Why should he apologize? You cannot humiliate him like this."

Nan Xi spoke very quickly, and even the most emotional words were somewhat distorted when spoken at such a fast pace. But even so, He Jian listened to every word Nan Xi said. His face suddenly darkened, and it seemed like a storm was about to come.

The disciples over there didn't hear the sound, so they stretched their necks to look over here, only to see He Jian's extremely horrified look, so they shrank back again.

They guessed that Nan Xi must have said something outrageous, but they couldn't understand why Nan Xi's voice was clear at one moment and inaudible at another.

He Jian has always been more patient when facing Nan Xi, but he is upright and strict by nature and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

Nan Xi was now poking nails directly into his eyes, and he could no longer tolerate it.

Then, despite He Jian's best efforts to suppress his voice, a voice full of pressure and anger leaked out, "You..."

[Wow, what a stupid line, what about bullying others by taking advantage of one's power? He is clearly acting on behalf of heaven. What about humiliation? He deserves it! Master, you are really my good master.]

When the disciples heard these words, they immediately stretched their necks to look over here, but Nan Xi had her back to them, so they could not see Nan Xi's expression, but only saw the astonishment on He Jian's face.

The disciples whispered, "What is Senior Sister talking about? She seems very pleased."

"Didn't you say that Master went to seek justice for her? Could this be what you are talking about?"

"What? Senior Sister finally figured it out? To be honest, I also think that the headmaster did a good job."

Everyone was whispering to each other, and He Jian was comforted by this voice. His anger was gone, and he was only filled with surprise. He stared at Nan Xi, unable to say a word of blame.

And what did Nan Xi say? She said he was her good master.

He Jian, who had never been praised so directly by his disciples, blushed and instantly felt that he was doing the right thing to seek justice this time.

After being immersed in his inner thoughts, he hardly remembered Nan Xi's previous rather treasonous words.

Nan Xi waited for He Jian's rage for nearly a minute before she looked up in confusion. She was shocked to see He Jian's expression, which could even be considered relieved.

[Master, why isn’t you angry? It’s so scary, someone has taken me away.]

Seeing the horrified look on the disciple's face, He Jian was silent for a moment. However, he was not as good at acting as Nan Xi. In order to avoid being noticed by Nan Xi, he could only speak a little stiffly and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "You are simply a traitor!"

By the way, I'm just arguing with Jian. It's rare that I feel uncomfortable scolding someone.

"Stupid and ignorant!"

Say one word, pause for a moment.

"Ungrateful!"

He Jian stopped talking, feeling that he couldn't curse any more. Nan Xi saw that He Jian had stopped talking. Although she felt that he talked much less than before, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

【It feels right.】

And Sword: “?”

Disciples: “?”

Because He Jian amplified the sound, his scolding was heard by the disciples. Even though he was not scolding them and they were at such a long distance, they were still trembling with fear when they heard it. But what was going on, Senior Sister?

You were scolded, but you are still happy?

The disciples felt that they couldn't understand Nan Xi's train of thought, and He Jian was also speechless because of Nan Xi, so he shook his hand fiercely, "You don't have to say more, Qi Qian will come to apologize tomorrow, no matter what, you must accept this matter!"

After hearing these words, Nan Xi lowered her head and muttered something, looking like she couldn't accept it at all but had to listen to her master.

Although it was just a whisper, the monks could still hear it clearly.

"A-Qian, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. It was Master who acted on his own initiative. I have never blamed you. I know you were doing this for my own good..."

The disciples over there clearly saw that Nan Xi must be saying something at the moment, but they couldn't hear Nan Xi's voice. They scratched their ears and cheeks, and something was wrong surfaced.

"Why can I hear Senior Sister's voice sometimes and not sometimes?"

"There's nothing wrong with what she just said, why is the headmaster so angry?"

"It must be something we didn't hear that angered the headmaster, but then the question arises again, why can I hear some of what Senior Sister said, but not others?"

Everyone was completely confused, but Lian Qianxing had already understood the reason clearly. He had a higher level of cultivation and comprehension, and after using a secret method to enhance his hearing, he could hear clearly what Nan Xi said, so he was even more terrified.

Senior sister, she is so scary!

Whether it was the words she spoke or the completely different voice in her heart, she was terrifying to an extreme.

After hearing what Nan Xi said, He Jian became furious again. He stretched out his hand in rage and pointed at Nan Xi. His hands were shaking with anger, but Nan Xi's thoughts just now kept echoing in his ears, so he could not get angry anymore and could only throw his sleeves in the end.

"You can do whatever you want, I don't care about you!"

He Jian walked straight past Nan Xi. Nan Xi immediately turned around and looked at He Jian in disbelief. It was rare that her expression and her inner voice were both filled with grief.

[No——Master, my good Master——]

"puff."

Nan Xi's expression and inner voice were obviously very sad, yet inexplicably funny. Someone in the crowd didn't recognize her and burst into laughter. Even though they tried their best to suppress it, it still changed the atmosphere in the queue and made people feel particularly happy.

Although Lian Qianxing still felt that Nan Xi was scary, looking at her current behavior, he could only watch her and pretend to be confused.

He paused with his sword movements, and finally strode away, but the anger that had just risen in him dissipated inexplicably.

Anyway, it seemed that he never understood his disciple.

Nan Xi's tears fell, and she wiped them away silently when she was almost done. She stood in front of the disciples, looking exhausted, and said, "Today's practice is almost over, everyone go back."

In the past, the disciples would disperse faster than anything else after hearing this. But today was different. Among the two hundred disciples present, those who had a relatively good relationship with each other looked at each other.

Many people sighed secretly.

Someone said, "My condolences, Senior Sister."

"If you want to hate, then hate. Why make it hard on yourself?"

"If one's heart of Taoism is damaged, then the gains will be irreparable."

"Sister, don't be sad. We have to believe that everything will be fine. At least you already have a lot."

After such detailed and incomprehensible consolation, they gradually dispersed, while Nan Xi looked at the disciples passing by with a confused look on her face.

[Hate, who do you hate? Master? That's not okay, that's really treasonous. ]

The disciples staggered.

Senior sister, please don't love me too much. I would rather hate the master than think that what they are talking about is a unified movement.

From the moment they noticed something was wrong with Nan Xi, and then followed the conversation between the Sect Master and the Senior Sister, Lian Qianxing pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on over there. The disciples were unsupervised and quickly and intensely discussed the abnormal behavior of the Senior Sister, and then came to a conclusion.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. It is obvious that the elder sister is hating because of love. It is already wrong. After some people exaggerated the discussion, everyone thinks that this is the case.

The key point is that even though the senior sister is like this, she can still be considered diligent and conscientious when teaching them.

In the past, they always felt that Nan Xi, as the chief disciple, was not doing a good job at all. After all, he was too obsessed with love, not serious about cultivation, and was confused in everything he did.

But now, even though the senior sister is in this state, she can still muster up the energy to lead them in sword training, and has never made any mistakes.

What's more, Senior Sister just couldn't control herself and showed her abnormal behavior now. Before they didn't know about it, Senior Sister must have been under unimaginable pressure.

Although such a result can be considered as the senior sister's own fault, she is like this now. As fellow disciples, they have received guidance from the senior sister, so they cannot be too harsh on her.

This series of thoughts can be summarized as follows:

Since senior sister is already like this, just let her go.

Nan Xi didn't know that he had been listed as a mentally retarded youth in need of care by his disciples.

Everyone else left, including her, of course. However, she still had a lot of opinions she wanted to express about what happened today, most of which were about her dissatisfaction with the idiotic plot and her disgust at the female character's character.

But no matter what just happened or her complaints about the heroine, she couldn't say it out loud. If she did, everyone would definitely think she was crazy, so she could only treat the system as a trash can and complain crazily in her heart.

[Let me talk about this first. It is perfectly normal for Master to seek justice for me, but I don’t understand why I have to think that Master did something unnecessary. He was clearly doing this for my own good! I was so moved that I almost cried.]

Of course, it was an exaggeration to say that she was so moved that she cried, but it was her true feeling that He Jian did this for her own good.

It was almost noon, and the sect was bustling with people coming and going. Nan Xi was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice the surprised looks given to him by the people around him.

Of course, even if I noticed it, I wouldn't have thought anything of it. After all, she looked so sad, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

Even if someone came to comfort her, she thought it was normal.

But once everyone knows why she is crying, they will definitely think she is sick.

Nan Xi sighed again, her sadness turned into anger, and she continued to complain.

[Sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. Really, damn love-brained, you don't want anything for a man, right? I'm so mad at you. You deserve to be hated by the whole sect.]

When Nan Xi was complaining crazily, the system would not speak. After all, as long as it spoke, there would be a violent storm. The "you" in Nan Xi's words sometimes referred to it and sometimes referred to the heroine, but no matter who she was talking about, she did not have any good ideas.

Ignoring the gazes of many people, even when she saw two familiar figures out of the corner of her eye, Nan Xi pretended not to see them and ran back to her own courtyard like a flash.

Behind, a handsome and beautiful young man with a rich face put his hands on his chest, listened to Nan Xi's inner voice, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the other person next to him.

The corners of his lips curved up as he said casually, "After not seeing you for a while, has Junior Brother Nan Xi finally gone mad?"
