Sheng Ning watched the fish take the bait and chuckled inwardly, but her little face still wore the same expression.
She beckoned to Qin Chuan with her finger, asking him to come closer.
When he got closer, she craned her neck and whispered in his ear, "I originally intended to keep this from you."
"But since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"Xiao Chuan, actually... it's my dad!"
After saying these words, Sheng Ning inwardly burst into laughter.
She pursed her lips, watching Qin Chuan sit back down, his expression still cold and stern. "Fellow Daoist Sheng, do you find this interesting?"
Sheng Ning nodded. "Of course there are."
She should have spoken to the Taixu Sect disciples like that when they berated her for three hours.
Instead of just threatening them by stepping on Shi Yueyao and then turning away.
But it's not too late to say it now.
Seeing Qin Chuan's expressionless face, she sat upright on the stone bench. Before she could speak again, Qin Chuan looked up at her.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, do you really not want to know why you came here?"
"Why do I have to know?" Sheng Ning countered. "What happens after I know the answer? Will I then surrender to the Taixu Sect and become a pawn in your hands?"
No longer with that carefree, smiling face, Sheng Ning's eyes now held a hint of mockery as she looked at the person before her.
She glanced down at the teacup in front of her and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, instead of thinking about why you're standing in the Northern Region, you're trying to trick me into revealing information. That's not like you."
"At least you were once smart, though not by much."
"I won't drink the tea. I don't trust the people of the Taixu Sect. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. If my senior brothers can't find me, I'll bombard this place."
Sheng Ning got up to leave.
Qin Chuan sat at the stone table watching her back. As she lifted her foot to leave, he immediately spoke.
"Yueyao is not dead."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning suddenly turned around, grinned at him, and said, "Don't worry, she will die. Nothing is impossible for me."
She was so confident that he didn't come to his senses until long after her figure had disappeared from sight.
Xi Zhen was standing in front of him at some point, looking at him with an indescribable expression.
Qin Chuan poured himself another cup of tea, seemingly oblivious to its scalding heat, and drank it all in one gulp. "What are you doing?"
Qin Chuan became increasingly strange.
This is a strange thing that Xi Zhen discovered after he was pulled back from the brink of death by the elders.
Although Qin Chuan was calm and composed in the past, he would occasionally joke around with his junior brothers and sisters like an ordinary person.
But ever since he was blown away by Sheng Ning, Qin Chuan has completely changed.
He was like a puppet being manipulated, almost devoid of emotion, just like now, completely oblivious to the temperature of the scalding hot tea.
Xi Zhen frowned, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, the secret realm will open soon, you should get some rest."
His attitude made Qin Chuan belatedly frown.
Seeing that he was the only one left in the pavilion, he looked down at his fingers resting on the table.
After a moment's thought, his fingers finally twitched.
His calm face suddenly contorted into a ferocious and terrifying expression. He raised his head and looked at the courtyard gate not far away, his eyes churning with unfathomable emotions.
-
When Sheng Ning returned to the courtyard, she indeed saw Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan carrying Peashooters and walking out of their yard, cursing and swearing.
When they reached the courtyard gate and saw their junior sister, the two immediately stopped shouting and cursing.
"Junior Sister, you're back. Did you go to see Qin Chuan?"
"How was it? He didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
Sheng Ning shook his head, then pointed to the Peashooters in their arms, "Where are you two senior brothers going?"
Guan Yunchuan raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it obvious? Junior Sister, if Qin Chuan kidnaps you, your senior brothers will come to your rescue."
Looking at his two senior brothers with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, Sheng Ning suppressed their urge to confront Qin Chuan and followed them into the courtyard.
"Junior Sister, you went to see Qin Chuan alone. Did he really not make things difficult for you?"
"If you are bullied, tell your senior brothers, and they will avenge you."
Yu Ye kept rambling on until a spiritual fruit was stuffed into his mouth, which finally stopped him from talking.
The spirit fruit was used by Sheng Ning to feed spirit beasts and divine beasts.
Looking at the peach-like spiritual fruit in his hand, Yu Ye recalled the Titan Protector he had just dealt with on the street not long ago.
Yu Ye wanted to spit out the fruit in his mouth, fearing that he would become as ugly as Titan after eating the spiritual fruit, but then he remembered that it was given to him by his junior sister.
She silently ate the spirit fruit with tears in her eyes.
Sheng Ning didn't see the conflicted look on his face when it came to a spiritual fruit.
After inviting the two men into the house, she suddenly turned to face her two senior brothers.
"Fourth and fifth senior brothers."
Faced with their junior sister's sudden call to name, Yu Ye and the other person immediately straightened their backs. "Junior sister, please let us know if you need anything."
A soft chuckle rang out in the room.
Sheng Ning looked at Yu Ye and the other two, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Senior brother, if, I mean if."
"If I were different from you, would you still treat me like your junior sister?"
Since coming into this world, she has never mentioned her origins.
In the original work, the author never provided a detailed description of her identity as cannon fodder.
Did the original owner have parents? Why was she sent to the Taixu Sect? When she died tragically on the street, did anyone collect her body?
These were not mentioned by the original authors.
Qin Chuan's temperament has suddenly changed, and he even said those things to her. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't flustered at the time.
She didn't care whether she would be transported to another world or return to her original world to continue working as a researcher.
What she cared about was how her fellow senior brothers, who were always causing trouble and playing around with her, viewed her as an outsider.
At first, neither Yu nor the other understood what Sheng Ning was saying.
They quickly realized what was happening, and Yu Ye immediately reached out and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, Junior Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Guan Yunchuan, standing nearby, nodded in agreement, "No matter what makes you different, Junior Sister, you, Sheng Ning, are still the Junior Sister of the Invincible Sect."
“However, junior sister, you are indeed different from us.”
Yu Ye's sudden interruption made Sheng Ning's heart skip a beat.
She turned her head to meet his gaze.
Suddenly, she was pulled into a tight embrace.
"Junior Sister, your mind is so sharp, who could possibly give birth to such a little genius like you?"
God knows that when he was reborn, he was already prepared to be killed again after rushing into the Taixu Sect.
Who would have thought that heaven would bestow such a clever and quick-witted junior sister upon them?
This is simply an incredible stroke of luck for the Invincible Sect!
