Chapter 8

"Uncle Master, if you say that, Senior Sister will be sad."

The other man looked a little helpless. He looked younger than this uncle-master, between a teenager and a young adult, and seemed to be of the same age as Nan Xi.

There were two people, one big and one small. One was the uncle, named Li Yunzheng, and the other was the direct disciple of the great elder and Nan Xi's junior brother, named Qi Zhao. The two had been training outside the sect for some time, but they had heard everything about Nan Xi.

At this moment, the two of them looked at Nan Xi's receding back. Although they had not come into contact yet, they were hearing the mumbling that sounded like a curse.

I noticed that there seemed to be something different about Nan Xi.

But he was busy reporting to the Sect Leader when he came back, so he didn't pay too much attention to Nan Xi.

Li Yunzheng laughed again, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised, bringing out a hint of romantic charm, "As long as you don't say anything, your eldest sister will naturally not know about this."

As they talked, the two went to the master's cave.

He Jian was thinking about things related to Nan Xi. In short, no matter what to do in the future, they would have to wait until everyone left tomorrow.

The reason why He Jian thought that Nan Xi's inner thoughts could only be heard by people within the sect was actually just an unfounded hope. Even if his inner thoughts were leaked, it wouldn't be a problem if he was the only one who could hear them.

He could never let Nan Xi know about this, or make sure that this matter would not have any impact on Nan Xi.

But through observation, it is obvious that more than one person can hear Nan Xi's inner voice. The leakage of inner voice is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter if only the people in the sect can hear Nan Xi's inner voice.

Then the impact of this incident can be controlled to the minimum.

But if everyone could hear Nan Xi's voice, then she would be forever away from the core circle of Tianyun Sword Sect, and even as a senior disciple, she would never be able to access the sect's confidential information.

Even so, she would always remember this incident. Even if she didn't say it out loud, she would think about it in her heart and think twice before acting, until the problem of revealing her inner thoughts was resolved.

Even though this disciple has done a lot of stupid things in the past few years, He Jian still can't help but consider her future.

Just as he was sighing, he heard noise outside the door. He Jian used his spiritual awareness to realize that it was Li Yunzheng and Qi Zhao who had returned, so he opened the door and welcomed them in.

Li Yunzheng took half a step forward and looked at He Jian with a smile in her eyes.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

Qi Zhao lagged behind Li Yunzheng by one step. Unlike Li Yunzheng's casual remark, he had to greet the headmaster in a serious manner, so he bowed slightly and said seriously, "Greetings, headmaster."

In the immortal sect, such rules are not considered strict, and one does not need to wait for the elders to say no after performing the ceremony.

Qi Zhao straightened up and slightly nodded to He Jian, "Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission in this training."

He is not a cheerful person, but he has a gentle personality and is good-tempered to everyone.

He Jian looked at the two people. He was not happy to see them come back. He was still thinking about Nan Xi, which made him even less happy. He just nodded lightly.

"It's good that it's completed. I am worthy of the title of Tianyun Sword Sect disciple."

The headmaster was always reluctant to give compliments, and the two of them were used to it. Li Yunzheng looked at the headmaster's expression, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked, "Brother, you look so sad, but what happened?"

Before explaining the whole story to He Jian, Li Yunzheng just thought that it was because of Nan Xi and Qi Qian, or about Nan Xi's attitude towards He Jian.

I was also prepared to not say anything to Jian.

But the other party just looked at him, then sighed and said, "Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Anyway, considering Li Yunzheng's sharpness, it would only take her time to know about this, and the same goes for Qi Zhao.

He Jian explained almost everything about the incident and said, "This incident happened suddenly. I still don't know the reason, let alone the solution. Now I can only think of ways to minimize the impact of this incident on her."

"Oh?" Li Yunzheng's eyes were filled with interest. "No wonder when I heard my nephew's voice when I came here, his tone was different from before."

"Did you see her when you came?"

The headmaster paused and asked, "Do you remember what she said?"

"It's probably just some inexplicable words to vent anger." Li Yunzheng thought for a moment, "Oh yeah, there's another sentence, of course she knows you're good to her."

Qi Zhao was not allowed to interrupt when the two elders were talking, but even if he was listening at the side, he had many thoughts in his mind, the most important of which was nothing more than his surprise at the fact that his inner thoughts were revealed.

After all, Qi Zhao had long ago listed Nan Xi on the list of people he could not have close friendships with, so he had no interest in what happened to her, what she thought, or even what she felt, let alone any thoughts about it.

He Jian was stunned by Li Yunzheng's words.

"Did my disciple really say that?"

"Seriously." Li Yunzheng smiled beautifully, but it was not a genuine smile. Rather than being happy, it was more like she was somewhat interested.

After all, even if she was speaking her true feelings, Nan Xi felt that they were too fragmented and boring.

He Jian's expression relaxed a little, "I told you before, she is still sensible."

Neither of the two people present responded to this, and it was obvious that they didn't want to hear a word. He Jian couldn't say anything to them either. He just told Li Yunzheng what happened in the past few days and told her how he handled it.

Li Yunzheng did not raise any objections and asked with great interest, "So we have to wait and see how nephew reacts to the confrontation with Qi Qian tomorrow before deciding what to do next?"

And the sword nodded.

"Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you that Junior-nephew Nan Xi's reaction might not be satisfactory." Although Li Yunzheng was careless and did things based on her own interests, she could see clearly that her junior-nephew was obviously hopeless.

I am the only senior brother who still holds hope for Nan Xi.

He Jian pursed his lips and said nothing in response to what Li Yunzheng said.

There was nothing more to say after that. After simply asking about each other's well-being, Li Yunzheng took Qi Zhao and went back to their respective homes.

Time came to the next day.

It was still early in the morning, and even the roosters weren't crowing. Nan Xi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She had no choice but to sit up. She wanted to practice, but she couldn't calm down.

She has always been open-minded, so even after what happened yesterday, she can quickly let it go and move on to the next day.

But Nan Xi is not troubled by the past, but she cannot help but worry about the future, mainly because she will have to face the migration tomorrow.

Nan Xi originally had no objection to Qi Qian. Even though the mission required her to face him, Nan Xi initially undertook the mission with the thought that it would be a waste not to see such a handsome guy.

But as the mission time increased and she came into contact with Qi Qian more and more, the so-called handsome guy filter no longer appeared in Nan Xi's eyes.

On the contrary, she didn't know when it started, but she hated that face so much that her teeth itched and she really wanted to punch him. However, when she faced Qi Qian, she had to follow the plot. As time went on, Nan Xi became inexplicably irritated and couldn't sleep every time before meeting Qi Qian.

Nan Xi believed that in order to cure such symptoms, it would take a real chop with the Qi Qian sword to solve the problem.

She simply went to practice swordplay. After all, practicing sword moves that had already been memorized did not require much thought and would only make her get better with time, which was a lot of fun.

…

Qi Qian arrived at the Tianyun Sword Sect at around 9:00 p.m.

The deadline given by He Jian was before noon today, and he arrived only an hour early. If Qi Qian had not been afraid that He Jian would rush directly to the Yuxu Sect to bring him here, he would never have come to the Tianyun Sword Sect.

Many disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect were already familiar with Qi Qian, but only a few had seen him in person. As a result, they were very curious and a group of them had ambushed on the route that Qi Qian had to take, secretly observing him.

To be honest, Qi Qian's appearance is extremely deceptive. He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a tall and straight figure, and an extraordinary demeanor.

From top to bottom, from beginning to end, he exudes the aura of a proud son of heaven.

Although the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect had many complaints about their senior sister, they had always been united against the outside world and it was even more impossible for them to have any good feelings towards Qi Qian. In other words, they had more resentment towards him.

Seeing Qi Qian at this time, the female disciple lied with her eyes closed.

"This is Qi Qian. He doesn't look that good. I wonder what Senior Sister Nan Xi likes about him."

"I don't understand either. It's just two eyes and a mouth. It's like nothing else."

"He doesn't look as handsome as Senior Brother Qi Zhao from our sect. I like Senior Brother Qi Zhao better."

The last sentence is the truth.

The male disciples sneered at Qi Qian.

"I don't know why this boy deserves the favor of Senior Sister. In terms of cultivation, talent, and appearance, Senior Sister is no worse than him."

"It should be said that he has no right to look down on Senior Sister. Although Senior Sister is, although, she is also a darling of heaven, and she treats him well with all her heart. Not only does he not appreciate it, but he also humiliates Senior Sister in this way."

"That's too abominable. Even if Senior Sister likes me, it's better than him."

The above three sentences are all true.

The onlookers lined up in front of Nan Xi's courtyard gate from the road where they all entered the sect. Although they were not directly exposed and even hid relatively well, they did not hide their aura at all and did not even conceal their whispers.

Qi Qian's cultivation was not low. Not only could he feel the gazes of these people, he could also hear some of their words. So as he walked forward, his expression became increasingly grim.

Nan Xi had already made preparations and was standing in front of the courtyard gate, waiting for Qi Qian's arrival.

But such preparation is only superficial, because in the plot, the heroine is dressed up for the transition, so she dresses herself up very beautifully.

But even now, she was still rehearsing in her mind what was about to happen.

[Pretending to be Qiqin: I am very sorry for being rude to you last time. Please forgive me.]

[Me later: No no no, Ah Qian you are right, I am the one who is wrong, oh oh oh, you don’t need to apologize, I, I got xx in the secret realm last time, you take it.]

Nan Xi had just performed a paragraph when she couldn't go on. The expression on her face was uglier than if she had eaten shit.

[Not to mention that he didn't even look like he was apologizing, my words were just too disgusting. I still want to give him something, which I had to work very hard to get.]

【Ahhh, someone come kill him for me! 】

The disciples who were nearby, as well as the closest ones, Ru Hejian and even Qian Xing, were all shocked by Nan Xi's voice.

They couldn't understand the scene that Nan Xi had rehearsed in her mind, let alone her subsequent madness. The disciples in the corner were fine, but the two in the open couldn't make any unnecessary expressions and were having a hard time holding it in.

Nan Xi was not aware of it at all. Seeing that the rehearsal could not go on, she simply stretched her neck to see if Qi Qian had arrived.

Fortunately, the migration was not slow.

He came to Nan Xi and stood still, tightening his jaw. He was the one who was apologizing, but he couldn't lower his head at all. He said stiffly, "I was rude to you before, but it was not intentional. I am very sorry. Please forgive me."

While saying the words of apology, he used his height advantage to glare at Nan Xi, and there was no trace of apology in his tone.

He Jian's face instantly darkened.

But Nan Xi had already taken a deep breath in secret, so she could speak with full emotion at this moment, "No, Ah Qian, you are right."

Nan Xi's face showed sorrow and distress, and it was so genuine that no one could see the slightest flaw. It was so perfect that everyone who saw her expression was deeply convinced that there must be something wrong with her brain.

Nan Xi continued with great emotion: "It's my fault. I disturbed you. You can't blame me for doing this..."

As Nan Xi finished speaking, Qi Qian's brows relaxed slightly, and his expression became a little better.

"The last time I went to the secret realm, I got something. You..."

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that the conversation between Nan Xi and Qi Qian was almost the same as what she had rehearsed in her mind. If there was any difference, it was that what they said now was more vivid with the facial expressions.

He Jianren couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Nan Xi. He directly sealed Nan Xi's mouth with magic, because he also saw clearly that Nan Xi couldn't say anything nice.

Then he looked at Qi Qian with a sharp gaze, "As the eldest disciple of the Yuxu Sect, don't you know the etiquette of apologizing?"

Nan Xi looked at He Jian with shining eyes. Although she still had an extremely anxious expression, the light in her eyes was particularly obvious.

[Great! Master is so powerful, Master, please help me teach him a lesson! Make him pay the price and apologize! Make him plead guilty! Kneel down and beg for mercy! Cry bitterly!]

He Jian: "..."

Others: “…”

Many of the disciples who were watching also realized that something was wrong. It was forgotten before that Senior Sister could speak without opening her mouth. Maybe there were some other ways. But since Master had sealed her mouth, other ways of speaking could naturally be blocked as well.

But now, Nan Xi is still talking, and she is speaking without restraint, with a different tone than when she speaks.

From this perspective, there is always a sense of disconnection.

It's like it's not words, but the real thoughts in your heart.

While the disciples were thinking secretly, Li Yunzheng was looking at this side lazily on a tree not far away, his eyes fixed on Nan Xi, especially at Nan Xi's eyes, with an interested smile on his lips.

He Jian was staring at Qi Qian's expression.

Although Qi Qian's face turned ugly, he was not shocked. He did not look at Nan Xi, but just looked at him, as if confronting her. Finally, he lowered his head slightly and said to Nan Xi: "I am really sorry. I shouldn't have said such rude words to you, even humiliating you. Today I present you with an apology gift, and I sincerely ask for your forgiveness."

He took out several items from his storage ring, including precious elixirs and rare materials.

But He Jian had expected Qi Qian's expression, and he suddenly felt relieved, as if something big had been solved, and landed abruptly.

Qi Qian couldn't hear Nan Xi's voice.

Nan Xi was unaware of this and was still cheering in her heart, [Great! Apology gift! Pills, hehehe, treasures, hehehe, Master is awesome!]

However, Nan Xi was not happy for more than three seconds. Seeing that Nan Xi was getting carried away, the system reminded Nan Xi coldly, "Host, please always remember the mission."

Nan Xi's high spirits suddenly dropped. She curled her lips in a slightly bored tone and did not respond to the system. But when she remembered the mission, she had to carry it out. Nan Xi prepared her expression carefully and suddenly rushed to the middle of He Jian and Qi Qian.

With his back to Qiqian, he looked protective; and facing Hejian, he looked opposing.

Qi Qian and He Jian were both stunned by Nan Xi's action. Nan Xi looked at He Jian with determination. Although she couldn't speak, her body language and expression expressed her opinions.

Qi Qian behind him was stunned. He looked at Nan Xi's back and was lost in thought for a moment.

He Jian's expression, which had just relaxed, immediately turned cold again. Even the disciples beside him who were smiling because of Nan Xi's inner voice were stunned by her action.

As the two sides confronted each other, Nan Xi's heart was replaying the crying cat emoji, "May God forgive me, may Master forgive me, if you want to blame someone, just blame Qi Qian."

Seeing her expression and thoughts like this, He Jian snorted coldly and withdrew the spell, allowing her to speak freely again, but he still said coldly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Nan Xi looked at He Jian's expression and felt that she had said too much today. She slowed down a bit before speaking, "Master, stop... burp!"

She was confused by her own hiccups, but she was still mindful of her mission, with a firm look on her face, "Don't be embarrassed, hiccup! A-Qian, hiccup! Whether it's a gift, hiccup! or, hiccup! anything, I, hiccup! do it willingly, hiccup!."

After saying this firmly, Nan Xi was still hiccuping, feeling hopeless.

[It’s over. Now, let alone moving Qi Qian, I can’t even listen to it anymore.]

Suddenly, laughter broke out from the bushes not far away.

“Puhahahahahahahaha, ugh!”

The disciple who burst out laughing was quickly covered by another disciple next to him, who also nervously warned him, "Hold it in, or you'll be discovered!"

He Jian, Lian Qianxing, other disciples, and even Qi Qian: "..."

You have been discovered.

Being interrupted like this, He Jian pretended nothing happened and looked at Nan Xi, but he found that he couldn't get angry at all. He really couldn't understand Nan Xi's thoughts, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Forget it, do whatever you want, I can't control you anymore."

Nan Xi blinked in confusion.

[Hmm? It's over? It's over like this? ]

Li Yunzheng appeared out of nowhere and looked at Nan Xi with a smile, "Master nephew, it seems that Senior Brother is disappointed in you. Aren't you afraid?"
