Just then, Wei Wenru and her companions were granted permission to enter the house, where they saw two old men crying and Nian Wanzhou, who was full of energy.
Wei Wenru: ...I'm a little embarrassed.
"Wanwan!" Fortunately, joy prevailed, and they chose to ignore the two crying old people. Wei Wenru went forward and hugged Nian Wanzhou.
The moment Nian Wanzhou saw her, she wanted to rush over. The two embraced each other in perfect unison, just like a mother and daughter.
Yuheng: ...This feeling is strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Nian Wanzhou: "Senior Sister!"
"Yes!" Wei Wenru nodded. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Senior Sister!" Nian Wanzhou shook her head, snuggling into her arms affectionately. "Senior Sister, I'm hungry!"
Wei Wenru immediately knew that Nian Wanzhou must have exhausted herself and was starving.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you out to eat later," Wei Wenru said with a smile. "I'll be cooking today!"
Upon hearing this, Nian Wanzhou immediately raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Wei Wenru: "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Lexi lay weakly on Song Yan's back. Hearing their conversation, she felt a mix of emotions, a mixture of jealousy and happiness.
After receiving permission, Song Yan placed Le Xi on the jade bed as well, and then squatted down to observe Le Xi's condition.
"Junior Sister, it's good that you're alright. Do you... remember what happened?" Le Xi couldn't help but ask. He really wanted to know what had happened to make his junior sister become like that, unable to even resist.
The others immediately changed their expressions upon hearing this, disapproving of Yuexi asking the question at this time, lest it upset Nian Wanzhou again.
Song Yan also pulled him aside, signaling him not to say anything more.
The elders are still here.
Nian Wanzhou shook her head blankly. She had no recollection of what had happened before, only that she encountered the white dragon after coming down from the arena, and how she got to the pool afterwards... She couldn't remember anything clearly.
"I only remember that I was trapped by something, a dragon in the thunderclouds. It talked to me a lot, which scared me. As for what happened after that, I don't remember anything."
She couldn't reveal what Xiaotiandao and Bailong had said; that would be leaking heavenly secrets.
"But I can tell you very clearly that I am not the white dragon from ten thousand years ago. I am Nian Wanzhou, a little white dragon born from heaven and earth." Nian Wanzhou continued to emphasize this point. She did not want to be anyone's reincarnation, as if she were a substitute.
Lexi pressed on, unwilling to give up: "Then... what about those illusions? They were all caused by you. I saw it clearly in the pool, it was obviously..."
"Le Xi, you're too nervous," Wei Wenru quickly interrupted him, afraid he would further upset Nian Wanzhou. "Wanwan's condition has stabilized, so don't rush to ask anything."
"Alright then." Le Xi reluctantly agreed.
Song Yan frowned and whispered, "Junior brother, you've gone too far."
The sect leader also spoke up to stop them: "Alright, rest first. Lexi, you should quickly absorb life force and not ask any other questions. Your injuries are not serious. You should recover as soon as possible."
Le Xi reluctantly turned his back. Everyone sided with his junior sister and gave him a cold shoulder. Seeing his senior sister favoring her even more, especially in front of him, he felt a little wronged.
"Senior sister, should we leave first?" Song Yan asked softly.
Seeing this, Nian Wanzhou quickly explained, not wanting Lexi to suffer this injustice, "Don't blame Second Senior Brother, I really should explain this clearly so that everyone can't worry."
She became serious, pondering how to explain.
After a long silence, Nian Wanzhou looked up firmly and said, "Those were all things that the White Dragon showed me. Because of them, I almost lost my life. It extracted my soul and wanted me to reincarnate. It was only because the Heavenly Dao couldn't bear to see it that it came to save me. In fact, it just didn't want me to suffer as miserably as it had before, which is why it treated me like that when I summoned the thundercloud."
She still didn't reveal more details or reasons, but this explanation is enough for everyone to understand.
Everyone was stunned, never expecting that Nian Wanzhou would suffer such a misfortune.
Wei Wenru held her hand tenderly and gently comforted her, "Wanwan, don't worry, we won't do that to you."
The sect leader also stepped forward to guarantee: "We never intended for you to follow in Bai Long's footsteps. From the moment you joined the sect, you could only be a disciple of my Tianji Sect and would not be sacrificed."
Yuheng's eyes were red: "Daughter, with your godfather here, I will never let anything happen to you."
This was his last young member of the clan, and also his most beloved daughter. How could he let something happen to her?
"Yes, we're family, we don't distinguish between each other," Song Yan added, trying to reassure them.
Nian Wanzhou felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes gradually reddened. She nodded vigorously, "Thank you everyone." Then she hugged Wei Wenru tightly, feeling her body heat, which reassured her a lot.
For some reason, Lexi didn't feel as jealous when she saw her holding Wei Wenru. Sometimes she thought, her junior sister is really great.
Having carried so much on my shoulders, how can I still...
"I'm a little tired," Nian Wanzhou said weakly, then transformed back into her dragon form, curled up in Wei Wenru's arms.
"Then take a nap." Wei Wenru gently patted her back. "You rest first, I'll stay with you."
Lexi also felt a little tired, and upon hearing the voice, she closed her eyes.
Nian Wanzhou slept soundly through the night, without a single dream, until dawn.
The next morning.
Nan Yu, along with Zhao Zhishan and a string of disciples, came to find Nian Wanzhou. The group chattered noisily outside the door, but immediately fell silent as soon as the door opened.
"Sixth Elder!" A large group of young boys greeted him respectfully. "How is Wanwan?"
The female disciple in the lead, carrying a lot of food, asked him, "Sixth Elder, we've come to visit Wanwan and brought some delicious food. May we come in?"
Nan Yu: "Elder Yuheng, may we go in to see Wanwan?" He pointed to the room and said, "Wanwan only just went to sleep last night, so we came this morning."
"Go in. She's been awake for a while and has been waiting for you to come find her. Just be careful not to let her get out of bed." Yuheng readily sent them over.
He had complete confidence in Nan Yu, after all, this kid had raised Nian Wanzhou back then.
"Thank you, Godfather! Godfather is the best! Let's go in now!" A group of disciples cheered and rushed into the doorway.
Yuheng stood at the door, watching the group of impatient children, and couldn't stop smiling.
As expected of the sensible and well-behaved child he picked up, he is also so innocent and carefree. Not bad at all.
"Nanyu, do you think Wanwan...she should be alright now?" Zhao Zhishan asked cautiously, his heart pounding with anxiety.
