Sheng Ning almost died.
She lay on the enlarged version of the laser cannon, feeling the coldness of the cannon's body, and couldn't help but shiver.
The dull pain in her neck made her shudder with fear. Her lips pressed into a tight line. She rolled over and lay flat on the laser cannon, letting the snowflakes falling from the sky land on her.
This is what Su Daiyuan and his companions saw when they jumped onto the cannon.
Seeing their junior sister lying flat on the laser cannon, the five brothers felt a dull pain in their hearts.
Su Daiyuan reached out and hugged her. "It'll be too cold lying here, Junior Sister, let's go inside."
Feeling the warmth of her senior brother's embrace, Sheng Ning gripped his clothes tightly with her fingers. "Senior brother, I'm fine."
Her voice was hoarse, which made Su Daiyuan and the others feel a pang of heartache.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.
When the pressure of the Nascent Soul Realm expert fell on her, she thought she was going to die in the next second.
Feeling a bit heavy-headed, Sheng Ning took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Senior Brother, I want to sleep for a while."
She was so tired; every cell in her body was screaming with exhaustion.
Upon hearing this, Su Daiyuan responded softly, "Junior Sister, rest assured, no one will disturb you anymore."
Sheng Ning did not hear what he said, as she had already fallen asleep.
She was suppressed too much by Qiu Wenxuan, and when she was almost strangled to death, her spiritual energy surged wildly, which caused her to fall into a deep sleep.
Su Daiyuan and the others escorted Sheng Ning back to the courtyard to rest.
The five brothers squeezed into the small courtyard, their eyes all fixed on Sheng Ning's tired little face.
"There are still six months before the Northern Secret Realm opens. Senior Brother, I would like to go into seclusion for a while."
Lu Qing'an still had blood on the corner of his mouth.
The blood had long since congealed into a dark red color, but the bloodshot veins in his eyes had not yet faded.
This shows how desperate he was when the crisis occurred.
As soon as Lu Qingan finished speaking, Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan stood up and said, "Senior Brother, we also want to go into seclusion for a while."
"We must grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories! We must never let our junior sister get hurt again!"
The spiritual energy in the Northern Region is abundant, making it an ideal time for cultivation.
They wasted so much time.
Now that their junior sister has almost died at Qiu Wenxuan's hands, they realize that she is not omnipotent.
If it weren't for their junior sister's reminder, they would have been forced to watch helplessly as she died before their very eyes.
The disciple of the Invincible Sect, who considered himself a genius, had never hated his own incompetence so much.
Lu Jingshen stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother must also want to go into seclusion for a while, right?"
"I'll take care of my junior sister. After all, I'm just a pill refiner; all I need to do is refine pills."
Su Daiyuan did indeed want to go into seclusion to cultivate.
As the eldest disciple of the Invincible Sect, he failed to protect his fellow disciples, which was his dereliction of duty.
My junior sister is seriously injured right now, and we can't afford to leave her without someone by her side.
Half a year is but a blink of an eye for a cultivator.
Even if they secluded themselves for half a year, they might not be able to break through even a minor level of cultivation.
However, if they stay by their junior sister's side and are always protected by her, they will never be able to make progress.
Su Daiyuan loosened his clenched fists, raised his hand to pat Lu Jingshen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Third Junior Brother, thank you for your trouble."
Lu Jingshen winked at him and smiled, "We're all family, why are you being so polite, Senior Brother?"
"Six months from now, before the secret realm opens, I hope to see a completely new you."
"Oh, right, I have quite a few pills here, you can all take them..."
As the head of the Invincible Sect, Lu Jingshen was always thorough in his work.
He handed the pills to his fellow disciples, and then turned his gaze to Lu Qing'an.
"Brother, you are the hope of the Lu family. You can't let me and Junior Sister down."
Lu Qing'an looked at her younger brother, who was twice her size, and a smile appeared on her androgynous face.
She reached out and pinched her younger brother's sturdy face, and he nodded with a smile.

Sheng Ning was not completely unconscious.
The spiritual energy within her body had been disrupted by Qiu Wenxuan, and during her period of unconsciousness, she had been reorganizing her spiritual roots.
Incidentally, in order to avoid being bullied in the future, she also secretly practiced some martial arts.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the sun was shining brightly outside, and it was a rare good day.
Lu Jingshen came in from outside and, seeing that she had woken up, immediately went forward to check on her condition.
"Junior Sister, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Sheng Ning shook her head.
The Northern Region was rich in spiritual energy, and she took advantage of her unconscious state to infuse herself with energy.
In addition, after she ate the Fire Spirit Fruit, her natal fire transformed from the most ordinary fire seed into the Nine Netherworld Fire.
Her cultivation speed is much faster than before.
She has now progressed from just entering the Golden Core stage a few days ago to reaching the second level of the Golden Core stage.
Sitting up in bed, Sheng Ning glanced at the weather outside the window, then turned back and winked at Lu Jingshen.
"Where are the third senior brother, and the second, fourth, and fifth senior brothers?"
Lu Jingshen poured out a Spirit-Stabilizing Pill and handed it to her. Watching her obediently swallow the pill, he then handed her a plate of pastries. "They... went into seclusion."
Sheng Ning paused in her bite of mung bean cake. "Seclusion?"
Lu Jingshen nodded.
A reassuring smile appeared on his lips as he patted the head of his junior sister. He said, "Senior brothers should protect junior sisters, not the other way around."
"It won't be long. They'll come back once the Northern Secret Realm opens. Will A-Ning feel lonely all by herself?"
The mung bean cake melts in your mouth. In the Northern Region, a place where even street rats have some level of cultivation, such a pastry filled with the essence of ordinary people is extremely rare.
These must be pastries that Lu Jingshen searched for a long time to buy.
Feeling the sweetness on her tongue, Sheng Ning shook her head. "I'm not alone. Don't I still have my third senior brother with me?"
She knew that it must have been her third senior brother who volunteered to stay and take care of her.
Her senior brothers wouldn't abandon her alone in the Qi family, and that was enough.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingshen's smile froze for a moment, then deepened as he couldn't resist adding another piece of mung bean cake to her hand.
"Are you tired of lying down? How about your third senior brother takes you out for a walk later?"
Sheng Ning looked at the mung bean cake in her hand, raised her hand and offered the cake to his lips, "Third Senior Brother, have some."
"Leaving aside the matter of getting out, how long was I unconscious? And what about that palace master?"
Upon hearing his junior sister mention Qiu Wenxuan, Lu Jingshen's eyes darkened as he put the mung bean cake in his mouth.
He swallowed the sweet pastry in his mouth and said in a deep voice, "He's still locked up in the Qi family dungeon."
"Junior Sister, you..."
Sheng Ning threw off the covers and got out of bed. She patted the crumbs of pastry in her hands, turned around, and smiled slightly at Lu Jingshen.
"Yes, I want to meet him."
"Third senior brother, the fire he uses is the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, and the feather fan in his hand is also extraordinary."
"We have already found the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger of the Four Divine Beasts, but the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon are still missing, so I want to go and take a look."
