Everyone was cheering, forgetting about Nian Wanzhou, who had flipped over the guardian in the thunderclouds.
Then, Nian Wanzhou quietly slipped back to the sect leader's private kitchen and continued to feast. Afraid of being reprimanded later and then having nothing to eat, she simply ate to her heart's content.
In addition, she is currently unable to face her senior sister and the other senior brothers and sisters all at once.
She wanted to hide.
If she hadn't been worried about Wei Wenru's promotion going wrong, and if there hadn't indeed been some problems, she wouldn't have suddenly appeared and risked going to the thunderclouds to protect her.
Let's eat and drink well first, and while we're at it, let's take out the memory stone and look at that familiar person inside.
If he were there, he would definitely be surprised that the sect leader had actually let her into the private kitchen for food and drinks. Then, he would let her cause trouble with him and Nan Yu, eating and drinking as they pleased.
As she ate, tears streamed down Nian Wanzhou's face, dripping onto her food.
Over here...
Surrounded by her disciples, Wei Wenru searched for Nian Wanzhou's figure and finally arrived in front of the sect leader.
The sect leader also looked at Wei Wenru with delight: "Wenru, congratulations on your successful advancement. You... are the pride of our Tianji Sect."
Then he transmitted a message to her, saying, "Little Dragon just woke up today. A few hours before you successfully advanced, she slipped away after you did. It looks like she went back to my private kitchen. Go look for her later, no need to rush."
"Yes, thank you, Sect Master." Wei Wenru smiled and bowed in thanks, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Then, the sect leader led her fellow disciples to prepare for her victory celebration banquet. This was the first joyous occasion in two months, so naturally, it had to be a grand affair.
Wei Wenru paused for a long time to calm herself down before slowly walking towards the sect leader's private kitchen.
At that moment, the chefs in the private kitchen ignored the girl sitting in the corner, stuffing food into her mouth. This scene was all too common for them.
Everyone knows that the Heavenly Mystery Sect has a little girl who can eat a lot.
By this time, Nian Wanzhou had finished eating and tidied up, and was ready to leave.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she saw Wei Wenru waiting for her there, her expression both gentle and sorrowful.
Nian Wanzhou stood there stunned, looking at Wei Wenru's bright, clear eyes filled with tears. She unconsciously slowed her pace and quietly walked to Wei Wenru's side, standing silently.
Wei Wenru looked at her, smiled at her, reached out and patted her head, then hugged her in her arms.
Everything is understood without words.
"The final scene of Zhishan's funeral is still on the photo stone. I've saved it for you. You can watch it when you're ready." Wei Wenru gently patted her back, putting the fact that she had grown up out of her mind.
As long as she's still alive and kicking, that's all that matters.
Nian Wanzhou nodded, her eyes moist, "Mm."
Wei Wenru patted her on the back: "Let's go back."
Nian Wanzhou didn't say anything, but simply held Wei Wenru's hand tightly and followed her.
Wherever she is, I can go anywhere; anywhere is home.
...
At the banquet, seeing that the disciples of the two sects were curious about her, Nian Wanzhou took out a lie she had already woven and fooled everyone.
Everyone, including Yuheng, believed her wholeheartedly and felt sorry for her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister. You saved us all, and yet you suffered such aftereffects. I'd like to offer you a toast with tea instead of wine!" Liu Qingfeng, the eldest disciple of the Guixu Sect, raised his teacup and looked at Nian Wanzhou with a sincere expression.
The other disciples, from the Tianji Sect and the Guixu Sect, also raised their wine jugs.
"Thank you, junior sister!"
Even the sect leader of the Guixu Sect said the same thing: "Thank you, Little White Dragon. If it weren't for you, we might all have lost our lives back then."
Nian Wanzhou hurriedly raised her teacup: "Sect Leader, fellow disciples, please don't stand on ceremony, this is what I should do."
After saying that, Nian Wanzhou shyly gulped down the tea in one go, and then poured herself a full cup.
He lowered his head and clung to Wei Wenru, no longer daring to meet the eyes of the others.
Seeing this, everyone exchanged smiles. This junior sister was so modest and cute. They all drank their drinks in one gulp.
At this moment, the Guixu Sect wished they could kidnap the little white dragon. He was adorable, sensible, highly skilled, and lacked the arrogance and pride of ordinary people. An ordinary person would have already been clamoring for credit and rewards, probably demanding the best of everything.
Nian Wanzhou looked at the bottom of her cup and saw that it was clear and free of any residue.
The others didn't tease her either.
Those who knew each other well would gather together and whisper among themselves, sometimes looking up to hear the two sect leaders discussing things related to the secret realm.
Nian Wanzhou was also listening nearby.
"It seems the Foundation Establishment disciples were able to barely enter the secret realm, and the Nascent Soul disciples have all recovered. How are your calculations?" Chi Xing asked, weighing his options. Seeing the pitiful, eager expressions on his disciples' faces, he almost couldn't help but want to curse.
"Based on my recent calculations, the secret realm will open in a few days, and I estimate that more people will be able to enter than before," the sect leader said with a cheerful smile.
During the late-life period when Nian Wanzhou was in a coma, too many disciples died due to injuries and accidental deaths, especially those at the Golden Core stage.
There were barely more than a dozen people left.
They decided to let the Foundation Establishment disciples compete as well, allowing them to enter the secret realm together and giving newcomers more opportunities.
This also helps maintain the flow of visitors to the secret realm, preventing it from closing down too quickly.
As for Wei Wenru, she was promoted two months after the competition ended, so she was naturally still qualified to enter.
Not to mention that she has the highest cultivation level and the best aptitude, she can be the backbone of the community no matter what happens in the secret realm. After all, her cultivation level is there, and she is easy to talk to.
"What is the White Dragon's cultivation level now? He should be able to go in, right?" Chi Xing couldn't help but ask.
He was genuinely curious about Nian Wanzhou's current cultivation level. The thought of her losing control when facing a Tribulation Transcending expert was truly astonishing.
Moreover, she's so young, yet she already has the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage.
Just because others didn't notice doesn't mean he didn't.
“We…we don’t know either. Her current cultivation level should be at the Golden Core stage.” Yuheng answered for the sect leader, then pulled Nian Wanzhou from Wei Wenru’s arms and held her himself.
"Why wouldn't we know? How could we possibly hide this from you?" Akahoshi asked, puzzled.
He then tried to probe Nian Wanzhou's cultivation level, but found that he really couldn't probe it. It was blocked by a mysterious force, which then repelled his spiritual power.
It seems like I'm being disliked...
"How could this be?" Akahoshi couldn't believe it.
He, a Mahayana cultivator, couldn't even see through a Golden Core cultivator? This disciple's cultivation level is just too peculiar.
All of this struck him as very strange.
Yuheng explained, "We have no way of finding out unless she is willing to let us know. Perhaps... she herself does not know her own cultivation level."
Yuheng stroked Nian Wanzhou's head and said proudly, "In short, she can enter the secret realm, there is no doubt about that."
