Chapter 71

After thinking about this, Nan Xi stopped thinking. Shi Ye's residence was right in front of her. Nan Xi turned her head to look at him and said in a friendly tone, "Junior brother, that is your residence now. Please do your best in the future. If you have any other questions, you can contact me."

Shi Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded in response.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

This mission came to an end naturally. It was not tiring, and contact with Shi Ye did not make Nan Xi feel uncomfortable, so when she returned, Nan Xi was in a good mood.

But Shi Ye is completely different.

He came to this brand new residence. The environment provided by Tianyun Sword Sect was spacious, comfortable and bright, but he was confused and had a lot of thoughts about what Nan Xi had not said just now.

That seemed to be what Nan Xi was thinking, but how did she know that he liked her... and what was the relationship between her and Qi Qian and the plot?

Shi Ye lowered his eyes and thought, but he couldn't figure it out. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside his yard.

He was slightly stunned, then stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door were Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun. Both of them were of tall stature and had an extraordinary aura. At first glance, they looked a little intimidating.

"Senior Brothers and Sisters."

Shi Ye shouted, trying to guess what the two were talking about.

After the other party came in, he signaled him to close the door, and then Luo Tingyun spoke slowly.

"You should have heard that voice."

As for the other new disciples, their jade identity cards were issued after they were made, with a time limit when they could not meet Nan Xi. The first item on the jade identity card, besides the sect rules, was an explanation of Nan Xi's situation.

However, Shi Ye was an exception. He Jian had anticipated that he would hear Nan Xi's thoughts when he knew nothing, so he asked Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun to come and explain the matter separately.

In fact, He Jian had originally only instructed Qi Zhao, and Luo Tingyun suggested that he come along as well because he was concerned.

After hearing what Luo Tingyun said, Shi Ye hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Did Senior Sister not say anything?"

He could tell that Nan Xi didn't know he could hear the voice, so he didn't say anything in front of Nan Xi. On the other hand, he was shocked by the content of the words.

Luo Tingyun nodded slightly.

Shi Ye's eyes moved slightly. He was hesitating whether Luo Tingyun could really hear that voice or was lying to him. If many people could hear what Nan Xi was thinking, then wouldn't it be...

Luo Tingyun seemed to know what Shi Ye was thinking and said, "Yes, we all know about your Xinyue Senior Sister."

Shi Ye: “…”

"You are too direct." Qi Zhao laughed, and felt even more deeply that Luo Tingyun cared about Nan Xi. After all, he used to be thoughtful and although he didn't say much, every time he spoke, he made people feel comfortable.

But I never said that.

Luo Tingyun pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, while Qi Zhao said to Shi Ye: "Anyone in the sect whose identity is recorded can hear the voice of the elder sister, and the reason for the voice being leaked is somewhat complicated, and we have not yet fully figured it out."

"But there is only one thing you need to be careful about, which is not to let Senior Sister know that her inner thoughts have been revealed, and you must not tell anyone else about it."

"As for the plot, it is related to something called a system, so it is difficult to explain in one sentence. You will gradually figure it out in the future. You have a special position in the plot, so it is inevitable that you will need to cooperate. Please understand."

Although Qi Zhao tried his best to explain things in the simplest terms, the matter between Nan Xi, the plot, the system, and her inner voice is indeed complicated, and this is the only explanation for now.

After saying this, he looked at Shi Ye, waiting for his question.

Shi Ye paused and looked up at him, "So, Senior Sister was coerced by that thing called the system?"

Qi Zhao nodded.

"I understand." Shi Ye was unable to care that his thoughts were already known to everyone. His eyes darkened slightly as his emotions fluctuated.

"If you need me for anything in the future, I will definitely cooperate."

"good."

Qi Zhao took out the condolences and handed them to Shi Ye. He then briefly explained the system and the plot. After seeing that there was nothing that Shi Ye did not understand, he smiled at him with relief.

"There are many people in the sect who like Senior Sister. You don't have to worry about what others think of you."

Even because of this, the previous disciples might even become closer to Shi Ye. As long as they don't feel ashamed, it's not a bad thing.

Shi Ye nodded silently again.

After that, nothing happened, and Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun both said goodbye.

After they left, Qi Zhao still felt a little amused and asked Luo Tingyun, "Does he threaten you?"

Although Luo Tingyun did not show any hostility or rejection, his words and actions were indeed somewhat different from before.

"No." Luo Tingyun denied, "As you said, many people like Senior Sister, but he is a little special."

"But he's a man, and I don't want to fall in love now."

As if to confirm it, Luo Tingyun nodded to himself.

"You're right." Qi Zhao walked forward without saying much, and just said, "There's nothing else to do today. I think Senior Sister is resting in the courtyard, so I have to go back too. I've been busy for half a month this time."

The two people were going in different directions, so Qi Zhao just waved his hand and went towards his residence.

Luo Tingyun stopped where he was and walked back.

Nan Xi is indeed resting now. She had originally planned to sleep, but because of Shi Ye's appearance and the upcoming new plot, her mind is now a little active. She is thinking about Shi Ye's plot for a while, and then thinking about the subsequent plots.

Finally, it can be summed up in two words.

trouble!

But then she fell asleep.

Since he started cultivating immortals, even during the foundation-building period, it was common for him to not sleep for a week and not feel sleepy, but at the same time, if he slept, it was also common for him to sleep for a week.

However, the current reality did not give Nan Xi much time to sleep. This time, she only slept for one day and one night.

After waking up and taking some time to regain consciousness, she simply started practicing sword again.

Things are different now. In the past, it was enough for her to practice sword in the yard. But after the Jindan stage, although her cultivation was suppressed, she never neglected sword practice. Now her sword style, sword intent, and the sword styles she learned have almost reached perfection.

After practicing so hard that he smashed the stone pillars in the yard into pieces, Nan Xi fell into deep thought.

She had already used a formation to protect the surroundings, but it was no use.

Since they were practicing swordplay, they couldn't be too cautious. She thought for a while and decided to practice swordplay in the open space at the back of the yard away from people. There was a lot of space there and no one was around, so even after using the formation, she wouldn't make any big noise.

Shi Ye came here when Nan Xi went to the back of the yard.

He just wanted to take a look, and after coming to his senses, he quickly guessed from the fact that Nan Xi knew what he was thinking that Nan Xi knew about their childhood and recognized who he was.

So Shi Ye wanted to come and talk to Nan Xi.

When I arrived, I heard the voice of my heart.

[When will I reach the Yuan Infant stage? After the Yuan Infant stage, I will have my own cave~]

Different from the cave that He Jian and the others had opened up themselves, the cave for Yuanyingqi was provided by the sect. It looked only slightly more refined than the small courtyard from the outside, but it was a different world inside and was protected by a special formation. It had a large space and good privacy, providing the best environment for practicing swordsmanship.

Nan Xi doesn't pursue much in this world, what she values ​​is comfort.

After hearing this, Shi Ye paused for a moment.

Nan Xi had just finished a round of training and now started practicing the basic sword moves, so she had time to think about other things.

[Shi Ye's case is a bit complicated. After all, he has an independent plot besides the main plot, but we can't just sit back and watch. ]

Nan Xi used the last sword move, then stopped, channeling her spiritual power into the Spirit Jade, narrowing her eyes slightly, [Shi Ye actually has a good mentality. Even if the heroine doesn't like him, he can still protect her silently, without interfering or interfering, but he can't stand the heroine being bullied. ]

【Adding to his past inner demons, he will be possessed by demons and go to extremes in the future.】

Shi Ye was stunned.

[To be honest, I don't really like this plot. Let's not talk about the impact of my plot on him, but at least you have to find a way to deal with his inner demons.]

Nan Xi touched the soul jade on her wrist.

[Shi Ye's inner demons stem from being abandoned as a child. He later found warmth in his relationship with the heroine, but then they separated. In the decades since, he has hardly ever been treated well. If he has someone close to him, he is always betrayed.]

Shi Ye didn't expect that Nan Xi knew so much. His men became more aware and after connecting the so-called heroine with Nan Xi, Nan Xi's words became easy to understand.

Nan Xi was thinking about something, so even though she had just been practicing swordplay, she still found a place to sit down.

[How should I deal with this? Tell him that he will never be abandoned or betrayed again? But if I say this, will he believe it?]

[Regarding my plot, it’s hard to say whether it’s betrayal or not, but abandonment… my death should be considered abandonment, right? I feel like it is. When the heroine died in the plot, Shi Ye’s actions were really extreme.]

【But he was unable to completely avenge himself and died afterwards.】

Nan Xi felt a little worried. She leaned against the tree behind her and looked up at the sky.

【What a lousy plot. 】

[Also, I traveled here when I was five years old. It’s easy to talk to others, but I’ve never met Shi Ye. Such a deep relationship with him is quite stressful.]

Shi Ye's heart, which was originally moving in accordance with Nan Xi's thoughts, suddenly stopped at this moment. He widened his eyes slightly, and a flash of red appeared in his eyes.

Senior sister...Sister Xier...isn’t she the one he knows?

So where did the original Sister Xier go? Where did this one come from? Could it be that the direction he had been heading for all these years was the wrong one?

Shi Ye's figure was a little unsteady.

The experiences and pain of the past few decades, as well as the brief and beautiful memories four years ago, flashed through his mind one by one. He suddenly felt lost and had difficulty finding his way.

And right before my eyes, there seems to be only one person who is the direction that all these things are pointing to.

Nan Xi was just thinking about it when a person suddenly rushed over from the side. She was startled and quickly blocked the sword before it fell on her.

After several moves, she finally saw the person in front of her clearly.

"Shi Ye? Why are you here?"

She was a little puzzled, but the next second she met his red eyes and was shocked.

[Is the inner demon acting up? What's going on? Now that he has found me, this should be the most stable time... Never mind.]

Nan Xi gritted her teeth slightly, dodged the attack by leaning sideways, then used her body skills to get behind Shi Ye. She gathered spiritual power at her fingertips and pressed the acupuncture points on Shi Ye's body.

The other person's body suddenly went limp and he fell down. Nan Xi sighed and could only catch him.

Although unable to move, Shi Ye was clearly still conscious, but now controlled by his inner demons. His eyes were fixed on Nan Xi, but no other emotions could be seen in his expression.

"Why was I suddenly invaded by the inner demon?"

Nan Xi muttered, putting the man down and letting him lean against the tree, "He really deserves to be the second male lead, and he has the inner demon to help him. He is in the foundation building stage and he has so many moves against me. Fortunately, I am more skilled."

In fact, up to now, Nan Xi's voice is constantly falling into Shi Ye's ears, but now, it is difficult for him to receive information other than the core issue.

[The system said that the heroine's consciousness has dissipated. In reality, she did not survive the disaster when she was five years old. Something went wrong with the plot, so I was asked to maintain the plot later.]

【But when I came here, I felt the thoughts left by the little girl. 】

Nan Xi was silent for a while.

[She also wants to live well...]

The red in Shi Ye's eyes faded a little, but Nan Xi didn't notice it. She started to think about business.

"Let's talk to Master. I have never encountered the problem of inner demons before."
