Chapter 89
After the confusion in Luo Tingyun's eyes disappeared, he felt his heart beating exceptionally violently. It was difficult to figure out whether it was because of fright or something else, but even so, he dared not move.
However, his long-term education could not allow him to stay awake and lie in the same bed with Nan Xi.
He got out of bed slowly, sat down, and drank several cups of cold tea.
My heart was still beating fast, and after recalling what happened yesterday, it started beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out.
The cheeks and ears were all red.
Luo Tingyun's fingertips that were holding the teacup turned white from the force, and he closed his eyes to hide his annoyance.
How could he be so... shameless when he was drunk?
Nan Xi woke up a little later than Luo Tingyun. When she woke up, she found that there was no one around her, so she looked away subconsciously and saw Luo Tingyun's red ears at a glance.
She slept exceptionally well last night, so she felt particularly clear-headed when she woke up, but she still turned over lazily, resting her head on her hands, and looking sideways at Luo Tingyun.
[Your ears are so red, are you shy, Junior Sister?]
Luo Tingyun suddenly heard Nan Xi's inner voice, his hands trembled, and he looked at Nan Xi suddenly, "No..."
He subconsciously wanted to refute, but at the last moment he shut up, his face getting redder and full of regret, "Senior Sister is awake?"
"Um."
Nan Xi smiled lightly, "I have nothing to do today, why did you get up so early, Junior Sister?"
She glanced at the sunlight outside the window. It was only about seven or eight in the morning. Although there was sunlight, the fog had not yet dissipated. The misty scenery was quiet and peaceful.
It's a good day to stay in bed.
Luo Tingyun glanced at Nan Xi, then quickly looked away and whispered, "I'm used to getting out of bed when I wake up."
As she spoke, Nan Xi watched as Luo Tingyun's ears turned redder.
It was that glance just now that made her see Luo Tingyun's red face. Although she was not sure what the reason was, Nan Xi had another guess besides being sick.
After a sudden change of mind, he said, "Junior sister's face is very red, is she sick?"
When Luo Tingyun heard this, he became a little flustered and shook his head subconsciously. Halfway through shaking, he nodded, "It seems to be a little, but it will be fine after taking the medicine."
If you don't admit that you are sick, it will be difficult to explain why your face is so red.
Nan Xi became interested and finally got up from the bed, walked to Luo Tingyun, reached out to touch his forehead, and said with concern, "Are you sick? Let me take a look."
Luo Tingyun watched Nan Xi's hand reach to his forehead, and then felt the touch of the slightly cool skin. His body froze and he dared not move.
"It is indeed very hot." Nan Xi groaned for a moment, then a smile appeared in her eyes again, "But I don't feel any pain, could it be..."
"Junior sister is not sick, but shy?"
It was suddenly pointed out to Luo Tingyun. He heard Nan Xi's words and met her smiling eyes. His mind went blank for a while and he could only hear the sound of his heart beating wildly.
After a while, I finally found my voice with great difficulty.
"I have never been with anyone..."
She seemed to be too embarrassed to speak, and could not utter the next words, and pursed her lips lightly.
Nan Xi saw Luo Tingyun's reaction completely. Her eyes were stunned, full of shyness and helplessness, which was beautiful but also made people want to continue bullying her.
She couldn't help it, so she held Luo Tingyun's face with her hands and rubbed it hard.
"Junior sister is so cute."
Luo Tingyun was stunned again. He saw Nan Xi withdrew his hand with a guilty look and looked to the side as if nothing had happened.
Nan Xi was only wearing her underwear, with her hair falling naturally. Although she usually didn't give off a sense of distance that made people feel difficult to approach, she looked a little closer than usual.
It seemed as if the relationship between the two of them had become closer than that of others.
But Luo Tingyun was only immersed in such thoughts for a second. He quickly looked away and said, "Senior sister, put on your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."
Nan Xi was still a little reluctant, but seeing that Luo Tingyun didn't dare to look at her, she went to get her clothes and put them on.
While getting dressed, she muttered, "Junior sister, why do you have to be so formal? We have known each other for so many years, and we are both girls. If other senior sisters and junior sisters had a good relationship, I'm afraid they would have even bathed together."
Luo Tingyun listened to every word Nan Xi said, and his wild heartbeat finally calmed down a little.
The reason why the senior sister was so unguarded against him was simply because she thought he was a woman.
But precisely because of this, he cannot act recklessly.
This way, when he regains his true form in the future, Senior Sister won't hate him anymore...
Luo Tingyun lowered his eyes further, but even so, he could not be sure whether his senior sister would distance herself from him because of his concealment or after knowing that he was not a woman.
His heartbeat returned to normal.
It was also at this time that Luo Tingyun suddenly realized that even if his senior sister's attitude towards him was as close as that towards Qi Zhao, he could not accept it at all.
Only when he is sure that he is the one that his senior sister loves the most, will he feel a little relieved.
Luo Tingyun tightened his grip again.
Nan Xi put on her clothes and looked at Luo Tingyun. She found that his face was no longer red, and there was even some regret.
Then he sat next to Luo Tingyun and asked, "What are we going to do next? I wonder if the others are awake yet. They were all drunk last night..."
As she spoke, a smile welled up in Nan Xi's eyes again.
"But Junior Sister, you are only slightly better than them."
Luo Tingyun grabbed Nan Xi's sleeve, raised his eyes slightly and looked at her, his voice was very soft, almost pleading, "Senior Sister, don't say anymore."
Nan Xi was stunned again, and then couldn't stop laughing.
"Okay, I won't say any more."
Afterwards, the two of them went out to check and found that the other people were indeed not awake at this time.
Li Yunzheng didn't know whether she was awake or still asleep, as she was eating breakfast downstairs early in the morning.
After the conversation, Nan Xi found out that Li Yunzheng slept in a room by herself and gave Mo Qian a separate room, and the reason was very reasonable.
As a senior uncle, it is normal for her to sleep in a room by herself. And since the Mo family provides so many spirit stones to the Tianyun Sword Sect, it is also very normal for Mo Qian to have a room all to herself.
Nan Xi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Indeed, indeed. Besides, I don't feel uncomfortable sleeping with my junior sister. I wake up smelling great."
After that, Nan Xi asked Luo Tingyun, "Where is Junior Sister? Did you sleep well?"
"...I slept till dawn."
It was clearly just a normal question, but Luo Tingyun could still clearly feel his face getting hot again. However, this time it was not serious. He looked calm and did not let anyone notice anything unusual.
"That's good." Nan Xi nodded, and then praised Li Yunzheng again, "Master uncle is wise."
Li Yunzheng smiled and accepted the flattery calmly.
Or maybe he was just drunk this time, and the liquor was not very strong, so the other people woke up at surprisingly the same time, so Nan Xi didn't have to wait too long, and they came down one after another.
After a short rest, the group planned to go home.
Staying out this night was unexpected. Although there was nothing to do in the clan now, no one was prepared to stay out for long.
Nan Xi had the same idea, and after saying it out loud, they prepared to return to the sect together.
Li Yunzheng was not ready to go with them. She would only stay with them until they left the city, and then she would directly tear through the space to return to the sect without even taking them with her.
This place is not too far from the Tianyun Sword Sect. The group of people walked forward with swords for less than a quarter of an hour when they heard another wave of space fluctuations around them. Li Yunzheng came back, and unlike the leisurely look when she left, this time she looked serious but not obviously so.
"No need to go back. I have a mission. Since you guys are outside, I'll just go over there."
Everyone stopped where they were, waiting for Li Yunzheng to tell them what the mission was, then they saw the other party tear open the space and let them pass through.
In the blink of an eye, we were thousands of miles away.
This place is not close, it is right on the edge of the area under the jurisdiction of the Tianyun Sword Sect. When I came here, I felt a depressing and uncomfortable pressure before I could take in the situation in front of me.
Then he took in the situation in front of him.
This is a small town that spans no more than a few dozen miles. Standing in the air, you can easily see the entire scenery.
But the town now does not have that old, simple and peaceful atmosphere, but is dilapidated and full of fireworks.
The town was torn in half by a huge crack in the ground. Looking closely, there were not only cracks that spanned dozens of miles, but also cracks everywhere in the town, large and small, that either swallowed up houses or tore up roads.
There were dark red clouds in the sky, and the pressure of the natural disaster made people feel breathless.
Everyone's heart sank immediately.
Nan Xi looked at the scene in front of her and the smile disappeared from her face.
The people in the world of cultivation are countless times more sensitive to disasters than the people on Earth in previous lives. So since Nan Xi came to the world of cultivation, she has never seen such a tragic situation.
If it is just an earthquake, no matter how terrible it is, there is a limit. It can take the lives of a few people, but the vast majority of people can survive.
But just by feeling the pressure, seeing the wind whistling out of the cracks, and the emaciated people and broken limbs on the ground, he knew that the situation before his eyes was an extremely rare natural disaster that had reaped the lives of many people.
The pressure can make those in the Jindan stage feel uncomfortable, and those in the foundation-building stage will move slowly under such circumstances, and those in the Qi training stage will be unable to move.
The crack that looked like a monster's mouth could easily swallow low-level monks and young children.
Even if it is just a small crack as wide as a person, it can kill someone as long as the person there happens to be a person in the Qi training stage or has not yet practiced.
Some of the cracks only opened for a moment and then closed quickly, burying people in them, or squeezing them into mud, or being trapped in them. Without oxygen, they would die in half an hour at most.
Not to mention the falling buildings and rubble, which can kill people in an instant.
In the world of cultivation, low-level cultivators still make up the majority.
Li Yunzheng's face darkened. "The news of what happened last night was only reported to the sect this morning."
"This natural disaster came very quickly and turned the town into what it is today in a short period of time. Some experts have calculated that this natural disaster is not completely over. We need to transfer the survivors to a safe place when the next disaster strikes."
After saying these words, Li Yunzheng looked towards Nan Xi.
"You always have your own ideas. You will be the one leading the fellow disciples from now on."
"You must act quickly and don't hesitate."
After Li Yunzheng finished speaking, she took the lead and entered the crack.
The strong people in the Tribulation Period are different from them. Although they are also trying to save people, what Li Yunzheng needs to do is to stop the source of the disaster.
Nan Xi glanced at the people beside him, and without stopping, flew the sword downwards.
"Let's go."
