Chapter 9

Nan Xi was startled by the face that suddenly approached her and subconsciously took a step back. After seeing that it was Li Yunzheng, she breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly.

Nan Xi caught a glimpse of He Jian's departing figure out of the corner of her eye, and she felt a little confused.

Because in her memory, this quarrel was very long, so she had already prepared herself for it to last for an hour or two and end up in an ugly way.

But judging from He Jian's back, they didn't seem to be angry to the point of a breakup.

[After everyone has moved away, go and comfort Master. ]

Nan Xi thought to herself, raised her eyes, and met Li Yunzheng's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but actually concealed deep meaning, and then she subconsciously took another step back.

Nan Xi is actually not very familiar with this uncle.

All we know is that he obviously has a very high level of cultivation, but he has never been appointed as an elder. He seems to be an idle person in the sect who does nothing. He often goes down the mountain with his disciples. He is just bored of staying in the sect.

A more superficial understanding is Li Yunzheng's appearance.

She had a pretty face, looked quite heroic, liked to wear men's clothes, and was tall. Nan Xi didn't know she was a woman until the third year after she came to the sect.

Although she is a lazy person, she is very popular in the sect because of her high level of cultivation and her interesting personality. All the disciples, both male and female, like her very much.

But all this has nothing to do with Nan Xi. In the past few years, Li Yunzheng was not often in the sect and completely missed her relatively normal period. When they could meet more often, Nan Xi relied on her superb acting skills to push this uncle far away.

Looking at those eyes, Nan Xi realized that she didn't seem to answer Li Yunzheng's question just now. She blinked and then lowered her head.

There is no need to answer anything at this time, just pretend to be an ostrich.

Although he looked depressed and didn't want to answer, his mind was quite active.

[When did Master Uncle come back? Yesterday? I think I saw her. She is here now. She must have been watching me from the dark for a while.]

Li Yunzheng didn't react much to being guessed at. He just raised his eyebrows and said, "I just came back yesterday, and as soon as I came back, I heard some of your great deeds."

She said in a casual tone, "It's really amazing."

Taking advantage of the fact that Nan Xi lowered her head and could not be seen, Li Yunzheng looked at her steadily, taking in every single one of her reactions. Under such observation, no matter how well Nan Xi pretended to be, there would always be flaws in the details.

The moment before Nan Xi revealed her suppressed sadness, Li Yunzheng clearly saw a flash of indifference across her face.

Then, the woman raised her head fragilely, looking at her sadly yet stubbornly.

"What do you mean by a great act? I believe that I have done nothing wrong. Even what happened in the Yuxu Sect is my private matter."

Nan Xi said this on the surface, admiring Li Yunzheng's handsome face while complaining.

[She is so pretty, but she speaks so bluntly, and she knows exactly what I am thinking. Fortunately, I am strong, otherwise I would be hurt.]

Li Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes and brows quickly showed a very bright smile, which she did not conceal at all.

"Hahahahahahaha, Junior-Martial-Nephew Nan Xi, you are really interesting."

Nan Xi: “?”

[No kidding, my uncle seems to be a little abnormal. ]

For a moment, her attention was completely drawn to Li Yunzheng, and she completely forgot about Qi Qian standing next to her, as well as the other disciples hiding in the dark. Regardless of Qi Qian's reaction, the disciples' minds slowly became clear.

They discussed in a low voice, being more cautious this time so that Nan Xi and Qi Qian could not hear them.

"Senior sister seems to be saying two different things."

"Some of these words sound like the complaints I usually make in my mind."

"So Senior Sister really didn't realize that the most abnormal person was actually herself?"

"One of the voices seems to be more ethereal. What's going on? Could it be that it is Senior Sister's own thoughts?"

"There's such a disconnect between the idea and the actual appearance."

While the disciples were discussing heatedly, the jade butterflies they carried with them flashed. The jade butterflies belonged to the disciples and served as proof of identity. They also served to transmit information, but most minor matters were notified on the bulletin board of each peak.

Knowing that the news conveyed by Jade Butterfly is of great importance, most people have developed the habit of checking the Jade Butterfly as soon as it appears.

When your consciousness sinks into it, you can see words that only you can see.

"I am the sect's chief disciple Nan Xi. I don't know why my inner voice was leaked. There is a slight difference between what I said and what I said. Please be careful to distinguish. Also, this matter is kept confidential for the time being. No one is allowed to let Nan Xi know that my inner voice was leaked, and no one is allowed to tell anyone else."

This notice was sent by the sect leader, who informed everyone in the sect about Nan Xi's leak of her true feelings and the things that needed attention.

After reading the message, the disciples fell silent.

Some people are not used to checking the news outside and are still immersed in Nan Xi's abnormality.

"But to be honest, the other voice is much more normal and quite interesting."

The person next to him motioned for him to look at Yudie. He didn't understand why, but he looked at her anyway and then fell silent.

Such silence was not so much due to shock, but more due to disbelief. The brain was a little confused. After the leader's explanation, it was confirmed that those voices were Nan Xi's inner voices.

When speculation and reality merge, most people will think of more things.

After a while, someone asked in confusion, "So why is there such a difference between what you think and what you say?"

No one could answer his question.

Nan Xi didn't realize the presence of the male protagonist until Qi Qian said with a sullen face, "Since there is nothing else, Qi will take his leave first."

Maybe she just finished a plot, so the system didn't urge her, but now, with the migration as a start, it will move on to the next plot.

She looked around, and although she didn't see any other people, she knew in her heart that there must be many people hiding in those invisible corners.

But at this point, Nan Xi could only pretend she didn't know.

She looked at Qi Qian, her face showing some hesitation and confusion, as well as unconcealed love. She said, "Qian, go back, and please be safe."

Maybe it was because he had just suffered, or maybe it was the scene of Nan Xi blocking him that touched him, Qi Qian's face was still cold, but his disgust had been restrained. He just nodded slightly, then turned and left.

After he left, Nan Xi glanced at Li Yunzheng, and after meeting Li Yunzheng's gaze, she felt a little uneasy and turned away.

He said, "Uncle Master, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I am not in the mood to entertain you right now."

[I still have to give Qi Qian a gift. It’s really annoying. I’ll just give it to him and go back to sleep.]

Li Yunzheng heard what was in his mind, smiled, and said on the surface: "Then I will not bother you, nephew. I will definitely come to visit you another day."

When she left, she also took Lian Qianxing, who had been in a daze for a long time, with her. Soon there was no one else in front of Nan Xi's courtyard door.

Nan Xi raised her hands and rubbed her face hard, wailing in her heart.

[I really don’t want to send things to Qi Qian, wuwuwu, my baby…]

The disciples who have not left yet in secret: Then don’t see us off!

Nan Xi, however, had already taken out the sword. With a few fingertips, she made a few moves and the sword flew off, quickly heading in the direction where Qi Qian had left.

And behind her where she couldn't feel it.

Li Yunzheng held the sword, and Lian Qianxing nervously grabbed Li Yunzheng's clothes from behind and asked in a low voice: "Master, is this really okay?"

"Children shouldn't ask too many questions about adult matters. If you didn't want to come along, I wouldn't have brought you along."

Lian Qianxing shut up.

Of course he also received the notification and knew that Nan Xi's true feelings had been leaked, but he still had many doubts in his mind. Then when he saw Li Yunzheng quietly preparing to come with Nan Xi, he somehow grabbed Li Yunzheng and came along.

Li Yunzheng controlled the distance well, and Nan Xi's voice could still be heard from the front.

[Cassia pill, ginseng grass, dragon horn... ahhhhhhhhhhh! ]

Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the inner voice, or it could be said to be a cry of venting. Nan Xi's running inner voice came, [Why do I have to send so many treasures! It's very useful, okay? ! ]

Lian Qianxing was startled, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously tightened Li Yunzheng's clothes.

Li Yunzheng was very calm and sneered, "Then why don't you just not give it to me? I don't know what you are thinking."

Lian Qianxing nodded silently.

It didn't take Nan Xi much effort to catch up with Qi Qian, because outsiders were not allowed to wield swords in the sect, and strictly speaking, disciples were not allowed to do so either. However, as the eldest senior sister, she also had this privilege.

Of course, flying a sword is much faster than walking.

She landed on the ground in a hurry, but her expression had already changed from excitement to concern.

"Ah Qian." Nan Xi looked at Qi Qian affectionately. He seemed to have expected her to catch up with him. He looked at her coldly without changing his expression. "I have apologized. Please don't force me anymore."

There were also quite a few disciples hiding on this road. When they heard what Qi Qian said, some flaws popped up in their minds, but they couldn't figure them out.

At this moment, a voice clearly rang in their ears.

[Don't act like I'm forcing you. It's only natural to apologize when you do something wrong! ]

It is like hearing heavenly music and your ears become clear.

The disciples' eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly, subconsciously looking at Nan Xi with great anticipation.

Say it quickly, smear these words on Qi Qian's face, don't let him be confused anymore.

But what they saw was Nan Xi's distressed face. She said to Qi Qian kindly, "Qian, don't be angry. I know this is too much for you. I can never influence the decision made by Master."

Disciples: “???”

No, why do you think one thing and do another? Scold him!

The disciples were in agony, wishing they could rush out to speak for Nan Xi, but the reality was that they watched helplessly as Nan Xi took out several glittering treasures, which were several times more valuable than Qi Qian's thank-you gift.

Then he said seriously: "A-Qian, I'm sorry for wronging you in this matter. Please accept these."

The disciples' pupils dilated as they looked at these treasures, any one of which was hard for them to obtain. But before they could react, a heart-wrenching wail pierced their eardrums.

【Ah!!! My baby!! If you have any shame, don’t accept it!!!】

Qi Qian accepted these valuable things with a cold and expressionless face, and grudgingly hummed a little. His attitude did not seem to soften at all, and he tacitly acknowledged that he had indeed been wronged.

【You have no shame! ! ! ! 】

The disciples covered their ears in horror and didn't even have the energy to complain about how problematic Nan Xi's behavior was.

At this moment, there was suddenly a person beside them. The disciples turned around in surprise and saw Li Yunzheng with a smile on her face, and Lian Qianxing who looked pitiful beside her. Lian Qianxing, like them, covered his ears and looked miserable.

Li Yunzheng touched his chin and revealed a handsome smile that made people unable to look away.

"Not bad, quite interesting."

Uncle Master, there is something wrong with what you said!

After Nan Xi delivered all the things, the story was over. Qi Qian collected the things and left very decisively without any regrets.

Nan Xi thought about what was said in the plot. Qi Qian's tone softened by seven points, but she didn't feel it at all. Where was the seven points? How much change in tone can a word "hmm" bring?

After the two of them parted ways, the disciples who were still standing there waited until they were far away before they stood up in a daze. Seeing Li Yunzheng heading out of the sect, they subconsciously asked, "Is Master going out again?"

Li Yunzheng turned half of his face to look at the disciple and said with a smile: "I can't really watch our sect's resources go to waste, can I?"
