They had all witnessed Xiaobailong's progress. Although they were worried and concerned, they also knew that with a genius like Xiaobailong, he would not be at a disadvantage.
“We all have high hopes for you. You are... a miracle to us.” The sect leader reached out and dispelled the barrier, allowing the people outside to come in and see them.
As expected, Yuheng saw Nian Wanzhou crying and immediately went over to hug her: "What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Did the sect leader bully you?"
Nian Wanzhou shook her head: "No, godfather, the sect leader did not bully me."
The sect leader smiled and said, "Yuheng, it's alright, don't worry."
Yuheng glared at him rudely. He sounded like nothing was wrong, but who would believe that? Didn't he see Wanwan's red eyes and the tear stains on her face?
"Everyone loves their own daughter, humph!" Yuheng snorted, shielding Nian Wanzhou in his arms so the sect leader wouldn't see her, muttering under his breath, "You bullied me back then, and now you're bullying my daughter too. You only dare to do this because Master is gone!"
Yuheng turned her head and said softly and gently, "Wanwan, are you really going to the competition? Is it okay if you don't go?"
Nian Wanzhou nodded firmly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Yes, I've made up my mind. I'm going. I hope my godfather won't deny my good decision! And I'm confident that I can do well and protect myself!"
The sect leader chuckled and interrupted them, saying, "Alright, it's really nothing, just a small matter. No need to be so nervous."
At this moment, Nian Nanyu tugged at him and whispered, "Elder Yuheng, please don't do this. Wanwan doesn't like it. Let me hold her!"
Yuheng: Shock! You little brat, you actually dared to compete with him for Wanwan.
"No need, I can hold him."
But he didn't see that Nian Wanzhou and Nan Yu in his arms were exchanging glances. The two were perfectly in sync, roughly saying what had happened and how things were going. After confirming their understanding, they immediately made their escape.
"Godfather, I want to go back with Nan Yu, please let me down!" Taking advantage of their conversation, Nian Wanzhou hurriedly broke free and tried to get down, intending to go back to refining pills.
Fortunately, Yuheng was summoned by the sect leader to handle some matters later, otherwise she would have pestered Nian Wanzhou with questions, which is why she was able to escape successfully.
The weather in Yuheng has been particularly annoying lately.
......
"Wanwan, what did the sect leader say to you that made you cry?" Nan Yu took her little hand and led her to another alchemy room.
“What he said made so much sense, it really touched my heart, so I…” Nian Wanzhou touched her earlobe a little embarrassedly, and looked up: “Am I weird, Nan Yu?”
"Why would Wanwan think that way? Actually, in my heart, Wanwan isn't strange at all. On the contrary, Wanwan is a very unique and amazing child to me." Nan Yu lowered herself down to look Nian Wanzhou in the eye, speaking gently while reaching out to pat her head.
This action is exactly what a loving older brother would dote on his younger sister.
However, Nan Yu's words made her very happy, and Nian Wanzhou's mood improved a lot. "By the way, I'm also going to the competition next month, so I need to focus on my training during this time!"
"What? Why would they send you? How old are you? Even if you've reached the Golden Core stage, you can't..." Nan Yu was nearly scared to death. He couldn't imagine that Wanwan, at such a young age, would have to participate in that kind of competition, which would not only test her cultivation and abilities but also cause her to lose the cultivation she had worked so hard to cultivate, and in severe cases, even lose her life.
This is basically sending Wanwan to her death!
Nian Wanzhou patted him, signaling him to calm down, "I am willing to go, and there is a reason for it, although I don't know what the reason is, but someone needs me to go."
Her expression turned serious, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
Nan Yu was very puzzled. Who was it that required Wan Wan to participate in the competition? And why was Wan Wan willing to go?
She must have her reasons; Wanwan wants to go...
He definitely has to support it.
"If you want to go, then I'll support you!" Nan Yu's tone was firm, unconditionally supporting Nian Wanzhou, even encouraging her.
Nian Wanzhou smiled gratefully at him: "Thank you, Nanyu!"
······
Few people knew that Nian Wanzhou also participated in the competition. She continued her daily routine of body training, alchemy, and eating and drinking, occasionally going to Wei Wenru to act coquettishly.
Even Wei Wenru was unaware of Nian Wanzhou's situation and thought she had simply gone out to have fun.
"Wanwan, do you really want to go to the competition with me?" Wei Wenru meditated with Nian Wanzhou. Ever since she learned that Nian Wanzhou had broken through to the Golden Core stage, she often meditated and cultivated with her.
The treatment was even better than that of Song Yan.
Lexi was so jealous she was practically grinding her teeth to powder, and she would come over every now and then to join in.
"Junior sister, go back to your place, but don't run around or cause trouble!"
Nian Wanzhou didn't even glance at him, and said lazily, "The sect leader promised to let me go. I'm going to cheer on my senior sister, unlike some people who only disturb her cultivation."
Lexi: "Oh, so you were saying you weren't bothering your senior sister, but aren't you sitting here too?"
Nian Wanzhou: "But he was invited by Senior Sister, so he's treated differently from some uninvited guy. Senior Sister, you agree, right?"
Lexi: Ugh, I'm so angry, so angry!
He suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying, "Junior Sister, I've noticed that Senior Sister has been meditating for quite a while now. She's about to start practicing her swordsmanship. Shouldn't you come and help?"
Nian Wanzhou blinked her big eyes, looking completely bewildered and innocent: "Ah, where to? Senior Sister told me to stay. But you, Senior Brother, Master told you not to bother Senior Sister. She wants you to go over and practice now."
Lexi was almost furious. All she knew was how to get rid of him, that bastard!
Wei Wenru was driven crazy by the noise of the two children. With just one look, Le Xi immediately quieted down and dared not argue back.
How could she possibly be mean to her cute, well-behaved, and sensible junior sister?
Seeing that he had behaved, Nian Wanzhou stopped arguing with him and stood up to walk towards the sword practice room: "Senior Sister, I'll go help you practice your sword first, and then I'll help you clean the room."
\"good!\"
As Nian Wanzhou opened the door and entered, Le Xi watched the door close, muttered a few words in a place where no one could see her, and then left.
I can never win an argument with Nian Wanzhou, so it's better to stay away from her to avoid always getting the short end of the stick.
Looking at the suddenly quiet and empty courtyard, Wei Wenru felt a sense of relief and peace. Then she thought about it again; she had a feeling that her junior sister's departure for the competition must be for some reason.
She could sense that her junior sister was hiding something from her!
