Chapter 57: Master Rabbit

When Nanwang walked out of Panlong Palace with the token of a true disciple, he still felt that there was still room for maneuver.

Du Xueling was waiting outside the hall. Her originally indifferent expression suddenly changed when she saw the token in his hand.

"Master Sister, there may be some misunderstanding..."

Nan Wang held up the token and made a gesture of surrender.

"I think the headmaster may have made a mistake. I haven't even entered the inner sect, so how can I be a true disciple? And he wants me to join the Fu Sect. What is the Fu Sect? Does Qingyun Sect have one?"

Du Xueling shook his head and sighed, "Since it is the will of the Sect Master, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. This is not your fault. You don't need to worry about the promise of the Sword Sect. Everything is destined. You and I should follow the will of heaven and don't force it."

Nanwang: “…”

He wanted to force it, but he had no chance to force it!

He didn't even see the Immortal Master! He didn't even have a chance to speak to the Immortal Master!

Wuuuu!

Nan Wang held back his tears and said, "Big, Big Senior Sister, the Immortal Venerable said that he will be in seclusion for a period of time, and the time of his coming out is uncertain, cough cough..."

Nan Wang felt a little embarrassed when he lied in front of Du Xueling, but thinking about his and An Nuo's future, he gritted his teeth and continued:

"Is there a possibility that I can keep the matter of the true disciple a secret for now, and maybe after some time... the Immortal Master will forget about it?"

Du Xueling looked at Nan Wang as if he was a fool, and spoke very gently: "Junior brother, all the disciple tokens of Qingyun Sect, including the elder tokens and the true disciple tokens, can receive instructions from the Sect Master Immortal Venerable. Only the elders will be notified of the true disciple matters. After the elders return to the sect, they will preside over the ceremony of accepting true disciples for you according to the rules."

Nanwang: “…”

The Immortal Lord indeed has the means to send messages to the outside world.

This means that there is no room for change in the fact that he has become the fourth true disciple.

His Sword Sect, his senior sister, and the Sword Sect's gossip-loving heart were all leaving him...

Nan Wang's heart was broken at the moment. He suppressed his grief and tried to find out what the Immortal Lord had told him:

"Grandmaster Sister, how does the Immortal Lord usually pass on messages to everyone? I, I don't mean anything else, I just, ahem, am curious."

Du Xueling said absentmindedly: "Don't worry about these little things. You will know them better than anyone else in the future..."

She suddenly paused, as if she had forgotten the words, and fell into silence for a long time.

Nan Wang waited for a moment and felt it was strange, so he called out tentatively, "Grandmaster Sister?"

"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Du Xueling came back to his senses and forced a smile: "Fu Sect has no elders, and the true disciples are the leaders. Since you have become a true disciple, you have learned from the Immortal Lord, and you have no elders above you, so the Immortal Lord is your only master. You should not call him the Immortal Lord anymore, but call him Master."

Nanwang: “…”

In other words, he is going to call Nuonuo "Master"?

What did he do wrong? Why did God send him such a punishment?

Du Xueling calmly comforted Nan Wang in a gentle tone, "You have been faced with so many problems all of a sudden. It is really difficult for you. Don't worry. Things will work out in time. If you have any problems, just come to me and your senior brother. We will do our best to help you. Let's go. It is getting late today. I will take you back first."

Nan Wang said in a daze: "Okay, I, I'll go back. I'll go back and calm down. Oh, I have to go to Second Senior Brother and return the End to him..."

Before he could finish his words, a huge force came from under his feet and lifted him up, sending him steadily into the sky and flying towards Qingyun Mountain.

Nan Wang was distracted for a while in the air, and only realized something was wrong when he landed.

Wait—where’s the senior sister?

He looked back, but the sky was filled with mist and he could not see clearly. The location of Panlong Palace had disappeared from his sight.

Nanwang stood there, at a loss.

No, why did the senior sister send him back but she didn’t come back herself?

Could it be that the senior sister has already discovered the matter of Nuonuo Dinghao?

No...I can't do that.

Nan Wang's heart was in a panic for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

The eldest senior sister shouldn’t have discovered anything. She has been outside the Panlong Temple for so long, she should have discovered it long ago.

The reason why she stayed was most likely not because of Nuonuo.

However, if the senior sister wanted to talk about something else... he had already told Nuonuo not to give any response no matter who came to him to talk.

The Immortal Master in the original novel rarely responded to sect affairs. Most of the time, the elders reported their work to him unilaterally. Therefore, as long as Annuo continued to maintain this idea of ​​governing by doing nothing, he would not arouse suspicion from others.

Of course, in Annuo's current condition, he couldn't respond to anything, and he didn't even understand how to respond.

In order to prevent the crisis from happening, Nanwang and Annuo signed a contract.

It's not a spirit beast contract. Nan Wang doesn't like that kind of contract that involves a superior-subordinate relationship. Once something happens to him, Annuo's cultivation will be greatly damaged or even his innocent life will be affected. This is not his original intention.

An Nuo now has the cultivation level of an immortal and possesses a human body, so he can naturally use human contracts.

Nan Wang took out the jade contract slip that he had received from his senior sister in the Panlong Palace. After choosing among many, he chose a heart-to-heart contract that was commonly used between Taoist couples.

After this contract is finalized, both parties can sense each other's situation even if they are far apart. Once one of them is seriously injured or encounters a major crisis, the other will immediately notice it and lock the approximate location of the other.

In addition, Nanwang also left a carrier bird for Annuo.

Tong Xin Qi can only sense the crisis, but does not know what the specific crisis is, so it is still necessary to use bird messengers to deliver information.

At present, An Nuo does not know how to pass messages to his true disciple card, so the only way to contact him is through carrier birds.

Nan Wang had a lot of carrier birds in his hands. Among all of them, he chose the one given to him by his senior brother Gu Shanshi without much hesitation.

The eldest senior brother's bird messenger was too overbearing. He would snatch away any letter that was not addressed to him. It was definitely not suitable for leaving to An Nuo. The bird messengers of the eldest senior sister, the fifth junior sister and the third senior brother all had a shortcoming of being too flexible, which made Nan Wang feel that he would be exposed at any time.

After much thought, Taniyama's messenger bird is still the most conventional, without any superfluous thoughts, clumsy and honest. At first glance, it is a good messenger bird that will deliver letters honestly and will not reveal too many secrets.

Even if the carrier bird was intercepted by its original owner Gu Shanshi, Gu Shanshi would not associate it with too many things that he should not have thought about. After all, he was not a true disciple and did not know so many secrets of the sect.

The moment he selected the carrier bird, Nanwang was grateful from the bottom of his heart to his generous senior brother Taniyama Toki, who was not a true disciple.

Oh, no, it’s not Senior Brother Gu Shanshi.

According to the rules of Qingyun Sect, the current Nanwang is Gu Shanshi’s “senior brother”.

Next time he meets Gu Shan, he will call him junior brother.

Nan Wang felt his scalp tingling when he thought of that scene.

He did not return to the house, but walked through the teleportation array to Fazong.

This time, he was able to return safely from the secret realm, almost all thanks to his second senior brother. He had to go and report his safety to his second senior brother and return the end to him.

Soon, Nanwang arrived at Fazong's Star-Snatching Tower and revealed his identity to the disciple guarding the door.

"Brother, I'm uh... Nanwang from the outer sect. I'm here to see my second brother. Is he here?"

When Nanwang was speaking, he always felt that the token of the true disciple in his arms was heavy, so heavy that it made him feel uneasy.

However, Nan Wang couldn't say the words "I am the fourth disciple of the Immortal Master and your fourth senior brother" now.

Not to mention saying it out loud, just imagining that scene was enough to make Nan Wang blush with embarrassment.

The disciple on duty said, "You must be Nanwang. Second Senior Brother is not here. He has gone into seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, he asked me to pass on a message to you. You don't have to return the things he borrowed from you. You should keep them for him while he is out of seclusion."

"What? Second Brother is in seclusion? Why is he in seclusion? Is he suffering from..."

Nan Wang's heart sank, and he wanted to ask something but couldn't say it.

The other party could not answer his question, but Nan Wang already had the answer in his heart.

It's because of him. It must be because of him.

Because the second senior brother lent him the End, that's why he was... injured and in seclusion.

"It's for cultivation and seclusion. This is very common. You don't have to worry about it. Second Brother asked me to tell you this."

The disciple on duty acted as a messenger in an orderly manner.

Nan Wang said angrily, "Excuse me, where is Second Senior Brother in seclusion? Can I see him?"

"I have no way of knowing these things. If you want to find Second Senior Brother, you can ask Elder Yan, but Elder Yan is not in the Star-Catching Tower today, so I cannot inform you."

Hearing this, Nanwang could only say disappointedly: "Next time Elder Yan comes to the Star-Gathering Tower, could you please tell me something? Just tell me that I have something to ask you to do. If you are willing to see me, please ask someone to tell me that I will be staying at the outer gate recently."

The disciple on duty agreed to Nanwang's request.

…

After leaving Fazong, Nanwang once again used the teleportation array to return to Qingyun Mountain and walked towards his residence with heavy steps.

Before I even got to the place, a carrier pigeon suddenly appeared in front of me.

The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings stupidly, and its workmanship looked a little crude.

Nan Wang's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out to take the letter from the carrier bird, then put the bird in his arms and quickly hid in the bushes on the side of the road.

He squatted down and unfolded the letter like a thief.

The content of the letter was very simple, with only one line of twisted large characters:

What should I do? She is kneeling at my door!

Nanwang: “…”

The messenger bird was from Senior Brother Tani Shanshi, and the letter was naturally written by An Nuo.

Although An Nuo did not directly specify who this "she" was, Nan Wang knew that it was Du Xueling.

It must be Du Xueling.

He and Du Xueling had agreed to join the Sword Sect, but now the Sect Master had cut off the source of their support, leaving everyone at a loss as to what to do.

The eldest senior sister said that she was following the will of heaven...but it was just talk. She was not the kind of person who followed the will of heaven at all.

So now – what to do?

Nan Wang squatted in the bushes with a tearful face, holding his head in pain.

How would he know what to do? He was desperate too!
