Chapter 86

When Nan Xi came out of the fire, it was as if she were walking on flat ground, and she was out in just a few breaths.

When she came out, she met Li Yunzheng's eyes. The other party smiled at her and said, "Congratulations, nephew."

Li Yunzheng was the most perceptive, and it was easy for her to notice that Nan Xi had made a breakthrough. But at this moment, she noticed nothing else but Nan Xi's aura.

It was only one day, but Nan Xi's aura became completely different again.

Before this, Nan Xi had already cultivated very well, and her aura was reserved, but people did not dare to underestimate her. But now, the feeling Nan Xi gave people was clearly different.

Li Yunzheng looked at Nan Xi and thought for a while before finding the right adjective.

It looked like a fine weapon that had been carefully forged and tempered by a weaponsmith.

The brilliance is so dazzling that even the faint hint of sharpness is enough to make people stunning.

Nan Xi could also sense some changes in herself, and was quite satisfied with it. She smiled unabashedly at the two people in front of her, "I didn't expect that I would gain something else from this trip."

She completely forgot that she should maintain her character at this time, but no one, mainly including the system, mentioned it.

It's just her character. Nan Xi remembered what she was doing after a while. After she remembered it, she looked at the people in front of her and thought she knew their purpose.

[Damn it, how did Master know I was here? Did he also know that I was here to help Qiqian move things? So now he is calling me to task?]

Upon hearing Nan Xi's inner voice, Li Yunzheng's face became half-smile, and then she clasped her hands across her chest.

"If the Tempering Body with Heavenly Spirit Fire is your other reward, then what was your original purpose? My infatuated nephew."

Nan Xi: “…”

[As expected, he has come to call for punishment. 】

Nan Xi quickly pretended to be guilty and dodged, "I just accidentally got involved in this during my training. What purpose could it have..."

Having said that, Nan Xi remembered the story in which the heroine survived a life-or-death struggle to get the Heavenly Spirit Stone, was unconscious by the fire for a long time, and finally managed to walk out.

I have to admit, he is still quite powerful, but he is using his power in the wrong place.

If it is used in cultivation, with the heroine's talent, a mere transformation would be nothing.

Thinking about this, Nan Xi sighed inwardly, [What a pity. ]

It was normal for her to say something confusing, so Li Yunzheng naturally ignored it and cooperated with Nan Xi's performance.

"Really? Then it seems that you really need your uncle to rescue you, right?"

Li Yunzheng smiled and said, "But I think your intentions are not pure. How about this, if you beg me, I will take you out."

Nan Xi: “…”

"Please, Uncle Master."

Before Li Yunzheng could even smile wider, she heard Nan Xi's inner voice, "Isn't Master-Uncle already several thousand years old? Why are you still so childish?"

Li Yunzheng's smile froze on the corners of her mouth, but she didn't show it on her face. She just raised her hand, picked up Nan Xi like a chicken, and flew out.

Nan Xi was stunned. She turned around and saw Mo Qian following Li Yunzheng normally, not in such a shameful posture. She couldn't help but feel angry.

"Uncle Master, you are biased."

Li Yunzheng followed Nan Xi's gaze and did not refute it. She smiled and said, "This is what you deserve."

Nan Xi had nothing to say and could only be carried all the way back to Tianyun Sword Sect. However, the process was not that difficult. Given Li Yunzheng's level of cultivation, Nan Xi didn't even have time to experience the feeling of dangling in the air before they arrived at their destination.

When her feet touched solid ground, she was immediately happy again.

In the plot, the heroine handed over the Heavenly Spirit Stone to Qi Qian half a year later. At this time, Nan Xi had been away for less than a month. Even if Li Yunzheng didn't say it, she had no intention of sending the Heavenly Spirit Stone over at this time.

Now Li Yunzheng sent her back, saving her time and energy.

As soon as she stood still, she made a shushing gesture to the two people in front of her.

"Uncle Master, Junior Sister Mo Qian, please don't tell anyone that I'm back. I'm going to be in seclusion for a few months, and I'm going to surprise everyone when I come out."

Although they said so, they both knew that Nan Xi's purpose was to restore the plot as much as possible under the easy facts, so they didn't say anything else but just agreed.

Then Nan Xi slipped back to her own courtyard like a flash.

In fact, it was not just for the sake of relaxation. Although it had been less than half an hour since she broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core and came out of the Heavenly Spirit Fire, Nan Xi had already felt the surging power.

This power made her want to wield the sword and practice. If she were to practice in seclusion at this time, the effect would surely be amazing.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Nan Xi came out of seclusion and quietly slipped out of the sect without even saying hello.

She thought she was very capable and hadn't been noticed by anyone, but in fact, her thoughts had already been heard by everyone before she even arrived.

[Hahahahaha, I'm so happy. I've been practicing swordplay in seclusion for half a year. I've mastered both basic and advanced swordplay.]

[Huh? There's someone there, I'm hiding! ]

[You didn't expect that? My footwork and breathing techniques have also improved a lot. ]

Nan Xi was in a good mood when she heard this, but the disciples had been told that for the sake of the plot, they had to pretend that they didn't know that their senior sister was still in the sect, so they all pretended not to notice Nan Xi and didn't look at her.

However...

After Nan Xi left, someone asked the person next to him in confusion, "Did you see where Senior Sister was just now?"

Another person shook his head in confusion, "I only heard the voice, but didn't see the person."

Everyone was silent.

It seems that Senior Sister has benefited a lot from her six-month seclusion.

Nan Xi didn't know that her image in people's minds had been raised to a higher level again. She just quickly headed to the Yuxu Sect. Before leaving, she even tidied up her appearance and put something on her face to make herself look haggard and weak.

Nan Xi was quite meticulous in putting on a complete show, at least on the surface her performance was impeccable.

The distance between Tianyun Sword Sect and Yuxu Sect was not far, but Nan Xi deliberately took a detour and headed towards Yuxu Sect from the direction of Jiyin Land. While walking, he looked at the situation around him and counted something silently in his heart.

As they approached the Yuxu Sect, a female voice suddenly called Nan Xi.

"Hey! Stop right there!"

As soon as the voice came out, Nan Xi looked up and saw a woman coming in front of her. She had her hands on her chest, her head held high, and looked proud and arrogant.

Nan Xi understood at a glance that this person was the female supporting role who replaced Mo Qian after she left. The two of them were clearly of the same type. At this moment, this eldest lady, who was also a proud daughter of heaven, was looking down at Nan Xi.

"Are you Nan Xi who has liked Brother Qi for a long time?"

The woman walked over slowly, looked at Nan Xi, and then sneered, "Nothing special, no wonder Brother Qi doesn't like you."

Nan Xi knew this would happen, so she looked at the woman and remained unmoved no matter how she mocked her.

It's not that she didn't want to move, but Nan Xi was having a hard time holding back her laughter when she saw the situation. She also had to play the role of a little white flower, and if she laughed out loud, it would be so disrespectful.

While thinking, Nan Xi covered her mouth again.

The woman crossed her arms over her chest and said proudly, "You still don't know who I am, right? My name is Liu Ling, and I'm the daughter of the top-grade alchemist Liu Shang."

Liu Ling didn't seem to care whether Nan Xi knew her or not. She just walked around Nan Xi and looked her up and down. Even with Liu Ling's picky eyes, she couldn't find any flaws.

Unable to think of any more sarcastic words, he rolled his eyes and stopped mocking.

"I also know that you disappeared for half a year. You came here to find the Heavenly Spirit Stone for Brother Qi, right?"

As she spoke, a magic weapon slowly appeared in Liu Ling's hand, and her eyes narrowed slightly, "With me here, you naturally can't give this Heavenly Spirit Stone to Brother Qi."

At the same time, secretly, Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun were standing in the dark. Even though Liu Ling was about to swing the thing in her hand at Nan Xi's face, the two of them not only stood still, but also had somewhat strange expressions on their faces.

[Who is Liu Ling? Who is Liu Shang? Oh, yes, it’s the old man who can give Qi Qian the refining pill. ]

[Ah? We are both in the Jindan stage, and you still want to rob me? You are a bit too bold.]

[What should I do? Should I resist?]

Nan Xi looked at Liu Ling in front of her and felt a little conflicted. She had to give the Heavenly Spirit Stone to her, but in the plot, the heroine was beaten and robbed by the female supporting role, but the girl in front of her...

Excuse me for being blunt, but even if you get hit while standing, you might not even get a scratch.

As Nan Xi struggled, the opponent's weapon's attack rushed in front of her.

She immediately lay down on the ground, and the Heavenly Spirit Stone rolled out.

He shouted without much emotion, "Ah, it hurts so much, it seems like my lungs are hurt, what should I do? I can't even get up."

Liu Ling: “?”
