Nian Wanzhou, who stepped down with a thoughtful expression, was lifted up before she could take more than a few steps.
"You've really grown up!" Le Xi said, lifting Nian Wanzhou up, her voice filled with disappointment.
"Senior sister..." Nian Wanzhou was lifted up and brought to the same eye level as Wei Wenru, her voice trembling.
Wei Wenru interrupted her, lowering her voice, "Alright, go back and explain this to me clearly! What exactly happened?"
After speaking, Wei Wenru pointed to her battle record above.
They've already made it into the top 30; they must have defeated several formidable opponents to achieve this.
Nian Wanzhou was startled and almost burst into tears. She quickly said, "Senior sister, I have my reasons. If I don't participate, something might happen, so... I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that I didn't understand this matter from the beginning!"
Oh no, we got caught before it was even over!
Nian Wanzhou's face clearly said: Let me explain!
The rest of the group: We won't listen.
That's not how it works!
Wei Wenru and her group didn't respond. She told Lexi to take Nian Wanzhou to find their master; they needed to go back and check if their junior sister was injured anywhere. Besides, her disheveled hair was unbearable to look at.
And, with Junior Sister participating in such a grand manner, those old men couldn't possibly not know!
Go back and question them first.
The elder sat leisurely in his seat, drinking tea and chatting. Since his injury, he had rarely come out to watch these competitions, and this was the first time he had sat so leisurely to watch them.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and saw his beloved daughter leading her junior colleagues toward him menacingly.
The Grand Elder immediately noticed Nian Wanzhou's pleading eyes, quickly turned his head away as if he hadn't seen her, and instantly adjusted his expression and mood. (Fear!)
"Father, do you know that Junior Sister went to participate in the competition?" Wei Wenru asked her father as soon as she saw him.
The First Elder thought to himself: Of course he knew! How could he not know? All the elders were aware of it; otherwise, given Sixth Brother's temperament, he would have already made a scene. But he couldn't explain this to his daughter!
The elder's eyes darted around, avoiding looking at his daughter and disciple, still trying to figure out how to brush it off.
I just... don't dare to face it.
Wei Wenru could tell at a glance that her father knew about it. She stared at him for a while, her eyes blazing with cold sweat.
The junior disciples also broke out in a cold sweat. The senior sister's aura was just too powerful, and they were scared too!
Without saying a word, he turned around, hugged Nian Wanzhou, and carefully combed her hair.
It took a long time to comb it.
When the elder saw that his daughter was ignoring him, he knew she was angry, so he turned his head away and dared not speak.
Everyone held their breath and sat quietly to the side, glancing at each other, afraid of offending the usually gentle and easy-going senior sister.
Yuheng arrived as well, having come to celebrate his daughter's resounding victory. "Wow, everyone's here! Wanwan's amazing, she actually won! But... what's with your hair? Why is it balding again?"
Unable to see the signals from others or the Grand Elder, Yuheng went to pat Nian Wanzhou's head on his own.
With a "slap," Wei Wenru directly slapped Yuheng's hand away, preventing him from touching her. "Sixth Elder still knows how to care for Junior Sister, but if he cares, why did he let her compete in the first place? If something happens to Junior Sister, will it be too late to regret it?"
She carefully examined Nian Wanzhou's injuries from head to toe. The most serious injury was the tear in her arm that she had initially noticed, but upon closer inspection, it had already healed completely.
Right now, the hair injury is the most serious...
This makes the already thinning hair even worse.
"Ah? But I, this..." Yuheng was so frightened that he didn't know how to explain, and hurriedly looked to the Grand Elder for help, "Save me!"
The elder glanced at him; he hadn't looked at him before, but now he was asking for help.
It's too late!
Good luck to you!
Yuheng: Waaaaah, Senior Brother, save me! (I was wrong)
Grand Elder: You brought this upon yourself, who can you blame but your senior brother!
Yuheng looked at his senior brother with teary eyes, hoping he would stand by his side, but no one paid him any attention. Meanwhile, his daughter was being held obediently, sitting quietly.
"Wanwan, tell your godfather what's wrong with your hair?" Yuheng said with a smile, trying to ease the tension.
If his senior brother doesn't help him, nobody will!
Nian Wanzhou did not hide anything and told the whole story.
"Ah? I see." Yuheng suddenly realized, and felt a pang of heartache. How did her good son end up bald? "It's alright, your godfather will get you some hair growth products later to help your hair grow back!"
"If your hands and feet are broken, can they grow back immediately?" Wei Wenru suddenly asked.
Yuheng was speechless. Although it was impossible for him not to return, he knew that the person was showing concern.
After being lectured like that by a junior, Yuheng was speechless. He couldn't very well argue back in front of so many people, could he? After all, that was a child he had watched grow up, and besides, the other person... was indeed more opinionated than him.
Even the sect leader didn't dare say anything.
He could only sit quietly with the group of disciples, just like Nian Wanzhou. Well, he wasn't afraid; he was worried about hurting everyone's feelings.
It's definitely not fear!
Nian Wanzhou was almost falling asleep comfortably in his arms when she thought it over and over again and decided to reveal some things.
She wrote the character "天" (heaven) on Wei Wenru's hand and transmitted her voice, saying, "Senior sister, he filled out the list for me and asked me to go. It's not something I can tell everyone. I originally planned to come back directly after the first round of the competition, but I got carried away and won the competition."
"Look, I'm fine now, so don't worry about me," Nian Wanzhou continued telepathically, then secretly glanced at Wei Wenru's expression.
Wei Wenru looked down at her, her eyes filled with heartache, and tightened her embrace, holding the little one even closer.
Nian Wanzhou then transmitted her voice again: "I know my senior sister feels sorry for me, but this is what he asked for. Perhaps it is in accordance with the will of Heaven. I will also protect myself and not let everyone worry! Look at me, I have already defeated that very powerful senior brother, and I will be fine from now on!"
Wei Wenru replied telepathically, "You're still so considerate of others. I'm worried about you getting hurt, but what would I do if something happened to you?"
She had long been raising her junior sister as her daughter, but she had never made it public.
Nian Wanzhou sighed inwardly again. She wasn't stupid; she understood her senior sister's thoughts, but she just didn't want her to worry.
Wei Wenru added, "Alright, I won't say anymore. Just focus on resting. You still have to compete later, so don't exhaust yourself."
"Okay." Nian Wanzhou obediently replied. She knew that her senior sister was worried about her, and she also knew that she couldn't cause her senior sister any more trouble.
