Fu Zi didn't move. He looked at Shangguan Xi and asked, "Where is Senior Sister? If she's not going, I won't go either. You guys go."
Without caring what others were looking at him, Fu Ziyi turned and left without hesitation. Nangong Yu sighed inwardly, thinking, "Now the atmosphere is tense again." Baili Xiuwen, however, seemed to enjoy the drama, saying, "That's just his personality. Don't take it to heart."
Shangguan Xi couldn't hold back any longer. She had already apologized, so what more did this person want! She said irritably, "Fine, don't go then. Anyway, with him like that, training won't do any good. He'll be stuck at this stage for the rest of his life."
Baili Xiuwen, being Fu Ziyi's best friend and inseparable companion, frowned slightly upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Since Senior Sister Shangguan has so many opinions about us, then I won't go either. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and as Fu Ziyi's good friend, I suppose I'm not a good person in Senior Sister Shangguan's eyes, so I won't accompany her."
With that, Baili Xiuwen turned and left. Nangong Yu, watching from behind, exclaimed in dismay, "Oh no!" Shangguan Xi also realized something was wrong. Of the seven-person team, almost half had left. What kind of teamwork and tactics were they supposed to practice? They must be joking!
"Stop right there! I told you to stop right there! In this team, I am the captain, not Xu Yuehuai! You all need to understand that you all have to listen to me!" Shangguan Xi's recent behavior has indeed been quite shocking.
Shi Mu remained silent. He had been dragged in by Xu Yuehuai just to make up the numbers and had no idea what had happened or how everyone had started arguing. Shangguan Xi wasn't like this before, so why was he so irritable lately? These questions puzzled him and troubled his mind.
Nangong Yu also felt that Shangguan Xi in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him. He could still comfort himself by saying that yesterday's events were all an accident, and that she didn't mean to say it, but was just in a moment of panic. He didn't expect her to say such a thing today. Nangong Yu cast a disappointed look at her and said to Xuan Chi and Shi Mu, "Since no one wants to practice today, let's do it another day. You can go do your own things first."
Xuan Chi glanced at Nangong Yu and Shangguan Xi, knowing they had something to say, and turned to leave without hesitation. However, Shi Mu remained standing there like a fool. Unable to bear it any longer, Xuan Chi stepped forward, grabbed Shi Mu by the collar, and pulled him away. Shi Mu was puzzled. "So what's wrong with them? Has something happened to Senior Sister Shangguan's family recently?"
Xuan Chi glanced at him. "You're not too slow-witted; you can still tell that Senior Sister Shangguan is acting strangely."
After everyone left, Nangong Yu sat down and looked up at Shangguan Xi, who was standing next to him with his hands on his hips and his face clearly showing anger. "If you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, you can tell us. As your partners, we won't abandon you. But if you continue to act like this, treating us like idiots, saying whatever you want to slander us, then I think this team will probably fall apart soon."
Nangong Yu was rational and spoke bluntly. He believed that there was no need for so many twists and turns between him and Shangguan Xi. Unexpectedly, when Shangguan Xi heard these words, she reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end. "What did I say? Am I wrong? If you don't cooperate, how can we improve? How did it become my fault? I think you are the unreasonable one right now."
After Shangguan Xi finished speaking, she turned around and left angrily. Judging from her appearance, she probably wouldn't be coming back tonight and would stay on the mountain peak.
Nangong Yu sat in his seat and gave a wry smile. He was really meddling in other people's business. He had only said two words, and now he was being criticized for no reason. He was more wronged than Dou E.
Baili Xiuwen peeked through the crack in the door at the outside, and Fu Ziyi looked at him unhappily, "Have you seen enough? If you really want to know what's going on outside, just go out and see for yourself. Don't be acting all lewd in my room like you're doing something bad."
Fu Ziyi thought that what he said was not excessive at all; it was straightforward and to the point. Baili Xiuwen looked back at the person lying on the bed, who was perfectly fine and acted as if nothing had happened. "You are the culprit in this matter. Aren't you really curious about what happened?"
"What else could it be? Nangong Yu advised, Shangguan Xi cursed, and Xuan Chi and Shi Mu ran away." Fu Ziyi could imagine the expressions on these people's faces even with his eyes closed; he didn't even need to look.
Baili Xiuwen was surprised. "I didn't expect that. You said you didn't care, but you actually memorized all their personalities long ago. You're really thoughtful."
Fu Ziyi, who was being teased by Baili Xiuwen, did not feel embarrassed at all. "If you're done playing, go back. If you really have nothing to do, go and find out where Xu Yuehuai is meditating."
Upon hearing this, Baili Xiuwen gave him a profound and inscrutable expression.
He only showed a little more emotion when facing Baili Xiuwen and Xu Yuehuai. He even seemed a little reserved in front of Xu Yuehuai. He was the same with other people. He seemed easy to talk to, but as soon as you struck up a conversation, he could wipe out all the fantasies that shouldn't exist in your heart.
...
Shangguan Xi returned to the mountain peak. Now that such a thing had happened, she couldn't stay down there any longer. She returned to the mountain peak and hadn't taken two steps when she met the Third Elder. The Third Elder looked at Shangguan Xi, and Shangguan Xi said in a muffled voice, "What's wrong, Master? Why are you looking at me like that?"
As she spoke, Shangguan Xi touched her face to see if she had picked up anything on her way back. The Third Elder shook his head, beckoned to her, and Shangguan Xi changed direction and walked to the Third Elder's side, her eyes filled with doubt and exhaustion. "What are your orders, Master?"
“You seem to have something on your mind lately. Since you don’t want to talk to anyone else, then talk to your master.” The Third Elder’s tone was stiff, as if he didn’t know how to comfort people, but he wanted to make this person happy, so he forced out these words.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xi's expression stiffened for a moment, and he awkwardly said, "It's nothing. It's probably because there's been too much going on in the team lately, and I'm not feeling well. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Seeing that she did look tired, the Third Elder didn't make things difficult for her. "Come find me at the ancestral hall after you wake up."
The ancestral hall was exclusively for the Third Elder. Shangguan Qi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
