Qin Chuan's voice was very flat, so flat that people thought he was just an emotionless machine.
Throughout his speech, Sheng Ning's gaze remained fixed on him.
He was injured; Guan Yunchuan's laser cannon pierced his shoulder. If it weren't for the blood constantly rolling down his wound...
It soiled his green religious robes.
She would probably immediately suspect that Qin Chuan in front of her was a puppet, or something else entirely.
Blinking, the leaves in the forest rustled in the wind, and the person sitting on the tree trunk suddenly curled the corners of their lips into a smile.
What do you think, Fellow Daoist Qin?
"What else has Fellow Daoist Qin learned?"
Qin Chuan was not dissatisfied with her roundabout question, "I asked you first."
Sheng Ning exclaimed "Ah!" and chuckled, "What if I don't want to answer?"
"That proves you have something to hide, you're not Sheng Ning."
The straightforward words amused Sheng Ning.
She gripped the thick tree trunk with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, laughter escaping through her fingers. "Does Fellow Daoist Qin not know whether I am Sheng Ning or not?"
“That day, Shi Yueyao came to Taixu Sect crying and said that she was not doing well in Wudi Sect. She pointed at me and said that the disciples of Taixu Sect were doing better than her.”
"You forgot?"
Sheng Ning tilted her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the person in front of her. "On the contrary, it's you, Fellow Daoist Qin."
"How did you know that I died on the streets after being expelled from the Taixu Sect?"
Even her senior brothers were unaware of her ordeal of being homeless.
How did Qin Chuan find out?
Or perhaps, he saw the original text somewhere?
Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Sheng Ning's eyes as she looked at Qin Chuan.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what about you? Do you remember how you died?"
Sheng Ning was still wearing that moon-white clan robe, but she had covered it with a white veil.
This light gauze dress was bought for her by Yu Ye on the street back then.
Although she didn't know if it could really protect her from external harm, the moment she put on the light gauze, she felt that the air around her was much fresher.
The spiritual root within his body was stirring restlessly.
Her cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage, and she is only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
She has been secretly cultivating during this time, and will secretly amaze everyone when the time comes.
Bring your thoughts back from where they left off.
She turned her gaze back to the man.
At this moment, a slight change finally appeared on Qin Chuan's expressionless face.
He frowned, his face becoming serious.
A moment later, he parted his lips slightly, "My death..."
He had barely begun to speak when Sheng Ning saw the previously bright and sunny sky suddenly darken.
The next instant, a bolt of lightning struck Qin Chuan hard.
Even with Qin Chuan's high cultivation level, this lightning tribulation struck him unexpectedly, catching him completely off guard.
They even knocked him to the ground with a blow.
Sheng Ning leaped up and landed not far from him. "I don't know if you know anything, or which side you're on."
"But if you try to stop me from protecting the Invincible Sect, Qin Chuan, I have a bad temper and I will not hesitate to kill when necessary."
A clear and melodious voice rang out in the woods.
Qin Chuan was struck by lightning and fell to the ground.
He heard Sheng Ning's voice in his ear, and turned his head to speak again, when another bolt of lightning struck him from the sky above.
The green robes of the Taixu Sect were charred, and even his face turned black.
As Sheng Ning withdrew his gaze and ascended into the air on his sword, he heard shouts from several of his senior brothers.
"It's heavenly lightning, Junior Sister, are you alright?"
"Is Aning injured?"
With a slight upturn of her lips, Sheng Ning did not immediately immerse herself in the care and concern of her senior brothers.
She returned to Qin Chuan's side and saw that his eyes were bright, knowing that he was still conscious. Only then did she squat down beside him.
"No matter who I am or why I am not dead, the fact that the Taixu Sect destroyed the Wudi Sect cannot be tolerated."
"Qin Chuan, you'll understand soon enough. Your own sect's junior brothers die one after another in front of you, yet you still willingly take the tribulation lightning in their place."
"But so what? She has never taken you seriously. In her eyes, you are nothing but stepping stones."
After saying this, Sheng Ning got up and went to her senior brothers. She did not see Qin Chuan lying on the ground suddenly shrink his pupils and then get up from the ground.
Head north again.
This time, Sheng Ning changed from standing to sitting, sitting on the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword, and holding a spirit fruit in his hand.
Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't follow this time, Yu Ye and the others breathed a sigh of relief, while glancing up at their junior sister whose clothes were fluttering in the wind.
"Junior Sister, how did you stop that madman from chasing us?"
Guan Yunchuan even shot him through the shoulder, but he still insisted on talking to Sheng Ning privately, which infuriated Yu Ye.
When Sheng Ning went to chat with him privately just now, they were all on high alert.
Just then, the heavenly lightning struck down and hit Qin Chuan.
They were alarmed and felt they could no longer let the two stay.
They originally thought they would see Qin Chuan holding onto Sheng Ning tightly.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan lay motionless on the ground, as if he had been struck by lightning and turned into an idiot.
Faced with Yu Ye's question, Sheng Ning opened her mouth and took a bite of the spiritual fruit, "I was just telling the truth."
"If the Taixu Sect continues to treat Shi Yueyao so well, it may face calamity."
Yu Ye and the others all died in their previous lives before they came to the Northern Region.
Therefore, they were unaware of what happened later with the Taixu Sect, Shi Yueyao, and even the Northern Region of the continent.
Upon hearing what their junior sister had to say, Yu Ye and the other three fell silent.
After a long while, Lu Qingan finally spoke in a deep voice, "Junior Sister knows? The fate of the Taixu Sect."
Sheng Ning raised the corners of her lips and took another bite of the spiritual fruit. This time she did not answer, but simply looked up at the boundless forest in front of her.
-
It was seven days later when Sheng Ning and his group finally arrived at the northernmost point.
The five disciples did not waste any time during these seven days, but instead cultivated their way through the training.
If it weren't for Bai Ze perched on Sheng Ning's shoulder, taking over the control of the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword, they probably wouldn't know where they'd be by now.
Looking at the towering mountains before him, Sheng Ning sheathed his sword and stood atop the highest peak with his fellow disciples.
Why do I feel a little cold?
Lu Jingshen frowned, took out a cloak from his bag, and draped it over his junior sister.
Compared to the boundless forest ahead, the mountains here are all rocks, with almost no vegetation.
A breeze blew by, and the cool air made the men frown.
Sheng Ning glanced at the surrounding scenery, raised an eyebrow and said, "If I had known, I should have randomly selected a disciple from the Dingtian Sect to travel with us."
