The people around watched the scene without any intention of intervening. Shi Mu clicked his tongue and said, "They wouldn't listen to reason. Now look what happened, they got beaten up. Feeling good now?"
Shi Mu stood to the side, speaking with an air of maturity.
Xu Yuehuai ignored them. They would get injured during their daily cultivation, and their injuries were obviously much more serious than this, so there was no need to worry about them. He just let them play by themselves.
Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen watched the show with great interest. Nangong Yu was only released after being rubbed and beaten on the ground. He rubbed his sore face and said, "My face must be swollen like a pig's head. Shangguan Xi, what kind of good person would hit you so hard! That's too much!"
Nangong Yu vented her emotions with resentment on her face.
Shangguan Xi ignored it, picked up the broken pieces from the ground, and said leisurely, "If you don't want to live anymore, you can keep talking. I don't mind giving you another beating."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu shut his mouth, his eyes still filled with resentment, but he did not attempt to continue challenging Shangguan Xi.
After the farce ended, everyone sat down together for dinner. The table was full of handsome men and beautiful women, except for Nangong Yu, whose face was swollen like a pig's head. Shangguan Xi had applied something to his hands, and his face was slowly swelling up.
Nangong Yu was indignant, but he could only swallow his anger. He told himself that it was only because he didn't hit women that he was acting this way.
After finishing their meal, everyone sat in their seats without rushing to leave, watching the gentle breeze below, feeling quite content.
Xu Yuehuai closed her eyes and meditated on the spot. Everyone was busy with their own things, and the scene was still quite lively.
Fu Ziyi, Baili Xiuwen, and Xuan Chi were playing cards. Nangong Yu had somehow gotten a chair and was lying on it, looking half-dead. Shangguan Xi was drinking with Shi Mu on the side. The scene was quite lively.
Aqing didn't show up today; something happened at his home, so he went back.
In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai stayed in the library, looking at the classical books all day long. She looked at the things written in the books, but she couldn't understand them. She could only understand half of them. When the Fifth Elder entered the library, he found that someone had touched the book about the art of void. He was curious and surprised for a moment. He thought that no one in this place would be interested in such a difficult technique.
It's not that people don't want to cultivate, it's just that the process is too difficult. It takes several years to master it. Spending several years practicing a void technique doesn't seem like the best approach. But there is another way: as cultivation level increases, the time spent practicing void techniques will decrease relatively.
Compared to Qi Guze, who spent a day understanding and cultivating this matter, he was a genius among geniuses. His cultivation was profound, and coupled with his strong talent, such things were naturally very simple for him, as easy as eating and drinking.
Xu Yuehuai read the book several times. While she was frowning, the Fifth Elder stood beside her, watching her flip through the book. "Don't force yourself if you don't understand it. This book is not easy. I know you are very smart, but some things are not enough with just being smart."
The Fifth Elder stroked his beard, saying this so that Xu Yuehuai wouldn't waste too much time on these meaningless things.
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yuehuai raised her head, her gaze towards the Fifth Elder carrying a hint of other emotions. She smiled and said, "It's alright. I only glanced at this thing casually, wanting to study its mysteries."
Xu Yuehuai considered giving up for a moment. The Fifth Elder was not lying; it was not easy to succeed in cultivation. But she still wanted to give it a try.
So for the next few days, no one saw Xu Yuehuai. Xu Yuehuai wandered around, asking several elders about anything she didn't understand. If one elder couldn't understand what it meant, she would ask two elders, and eventually one of them would understand what it meant.
Xu Yuehuai thought this way and did this; she started running around outside.
Nangong Yu and Shangguan Xi sat together, looking puzzled. They asked, "What has Senior Sister been doing lately? Why can't we see her? We have to go to Master to ask which elder she's with."
Nangong Yu's words carried a hint of resentment. His face had fully recovered, but now it was sticking up again.
Fu Ziyi chuckled and said, "You guys don't know? Isn't there a big competition coming up? She definitely wants to participate. Before she goes, she probably wants to check out the third floor and is busy practicing the Void Technique right now."
Nangong Yu opened his mouth wide, gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of Senior Sister, her way of doing things is so unique, it's truly admirable."
Nangong Yu didn't say a word about Xu Yuehuai's inability to cultivate. He had great confidence in Xu Yuehuai and felt that she could definitely do it.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yuehuai had figured out some of the tricks of the trade. She began to try to move around the sect.
Everyone lives in the courtyard, and when they have nothing to do, they sit in the courtyard to look at the flowers and the sky. Everyone is familiar with each other and doesn't stay cooped up in the house all the time.
Just when everyone relaxed their guard, a person suddenly appeared in front of them. Nangong Yu fell off the stool and threw the things in his hand away.
Baili Xiuwen and Xuan Chi remained relatively calm, but both watched the commotion with wary expressions.
But when they saw who it was, everyone gasped in surprise. Even Nangong Yu forgot her fear and exclaimed, "Senior Sister..."
As soon as Nangong Yu called out "Senior Sister," the person in front of him vanished. He stood there stunned, somewhat confused about what had happened. "Wait, the person who just appeared here wasn't an illusion, was it? I wasn't the only one who could see them, was I? Could you all see them?"
Nangong Yu was eager to verify this with others, and Shi Mu nodded in tacit agreement. He had seen it too, but he didn't call it out.
"So, Senior Sister has successfully completed her cultivation?" Nangong Yu asked, a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes.
"But why did Senior Sister leave again?" he asked, puzzled.
Everyone shook their heads, but the next second Xu Yuehuai reappeared in the courtyard. This time, however, she wasn't sitting on the table, but next to them. After she steadied herself, she said with joy in her eyes, "I've only just figured it out, so I'm still a little unsteady. Please forgive me."
Nangong Yu turned around and looked at Xu Yuehuai behind her, her eyes filled with astonishment.
