That night, Ding Rong was placed in Tu Nian's room, guarded by Song Chengming and Xu Ziqiao, while Tu Nian and Chu Qiurong went to report the matter to Nie Yanchen. Of course, details like how they had kept it from him in the beginning and how they had taken the initiative to arrest people were cleverly ignored by Tu Nian.
After hearing this, Nie Yanchen did not get angry as Tu Nian had expected. Instead, he remained silent for a long time in a strange way. Then a look of slight disappointment appeared on his face. He immediately reminded the two of them to be careful and completely handed the matter over to them.
Coming out of Nie Yanchen's room, Tu Nian and Chu Qiurong walked slowly in the corridor.
"Do you think Master is okay?" Tu Nian asked.
Chu Qiurong pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't look very good."
Tu Nian agreed and said, "Is the pressure too great?"
Chu Qiurong thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps. It's true that I haven't seen him much since the martial arts competition started. This is the first time in all these years that I've seen him always busy."
Tu Nian was originally puzzled by Nie Yanchen's state, but upon hearing this, he burst out laughing, "If Master hears you say this, he'll definitely get a beating."
Looking at her smiling face, Chu Qiurong's eyes softened slightly, and then she said jokingly: "Don't worry, if you get hurt, my junior sister will take care of you."
As he spoke, he was about to put his arm around her shoulders. However, when he was still two inches away from her shoulders, a red light suddenly flashed before his eyes.
"hiss."
Before Tu Nian could respond, he suddenly heard a gasp and stopped talking. He turned around curiously and saw him standing there with his hand raised, like a stupid goose.
Tu Nian couldn't help laughing and went over to poke him, "What's going on?"
Chu Qiurong came back to her senses, shook her head, and continued walking forward with a smile. "No, something just suddenly occurred to me. What were you about to say just now?"
Tu Nian wrinkled his nose and said, "I say, let's settle your peach blossom debt first. Otherwise, I will have to support a family with you, which is not enough to worry me..."
Listening to her teasing absentmindedly, Chu Qiurong silently rubbed the tip of her thumb which was a little sore.
What is that?
The next morning, Ding Rong set off as planned.
Because of today's sword competition, Jixue had gathered ten people to participate, which was very rare. In order to avoid attracting too much attention, after discussion, several people decided to let only Chu Qiurong go in disguise, while Tu Nian and the other two found a breakfast shop nearby and went in to wait for news.
"I remember that Lin Qingqing seemed to be a sword cultivator as well." Tu Nian said boredly, crossing his legs on the bench.
As if? Song Chengming looked at her speechlessly, "We are all from the same clan after all. You should at least make the connection between the person and the Tao. What's more, Lin Qingqing has reached the Golden Core stage. Although she can't compare to you, she is still a leader of her age."
"Is there such a person?" Xu Ziqiao, who was in the middle stage of the Eighteenth Golden Elixir Realm, asked back.
"Is that so?" Tu Nian, who was in the early stage of the fifteenth golden elixir, instantly felt that he had found a confidant.
"You two..."
Looking at the two of them singing the same tune, Song Chengming suddenly felt that he was the only normal person in the world, and his own disciples were simply hopeless.
"He's been caught."
As they were joking around, Ding Rong's voice came from the main entrance of the shop. Tu Nian reacted the fastest, and rushed out. Only after she disappeared from the shop's sight did he hear a voice from the distance: "Xiao Song, remember to pay the bill."
"This is my share."
After all, Xu Ziqiao was not as crazy as her. He left some spirit stones on the table before following her out. However, looking at the few low-grade spirit stones on the table, Song Chengming took out his purse with a helpless look.
A talisman cultivator who cries poor, a sword cultivator who has no concept of money, is this their direct disciple from the Snow Mountain? How disillusioned!
When they arrived at the scene of the arrest, they still found a hemp rope and a silencing talisman. The difference was that this time, to conceal their presence, the rope only bound Lin Qingqing's hands. As for her, she was half-lifted in the air by Chu Qiurong, making it impossible for her to escape.
The breakfast shop was said to be close to where they met, but it was actually still half a block away. Tu Nian ran over with some effort, panting as he said, "You're quite nimble. Did anyone notice you?"
Chu Qiurong waved her hand and said, "Of course not. But the sword competition is about to begin. What should she do... Tsk, be quiet."
When she saw Tu Nian, Lin Qingqing immediately struggled frantically, so much so that Chu Qiurong had to use all her strength to hold her firmly in her hands.
That hysterical look made Tu Nian want to laugh, "Are you still feeling wronged?"
This sentence was like a dose of poison. Lin Qingqing struggled even harder after hearing it. She stared at Tu Nian with eyes full of hatred, as if she wanted to fight her to the death.
In fact, it is easy to understand. Ding Rong's betrayal has already made her panic enough. Now that she has been caught and sees the culprit who caused her to be expelled from the sect again, she can't stay calm at all.
"Oh, so fierce."
But when Tu Nian saw such thoughts, she would only find it funny.
In a book, this kind of supporting character who is destined to be a slacker thinks he is a big shot, and then foolishly becomes a pleasure point and stepping stone for the protagonist to level up. She always thinks it is unreasonable when she sees this plot.
However, in reality, there are often more outrageous characters than this kind of supporting role, such as Lin Qingqing now. If she really encountered this, she would feel nothing but amusement. Especially now that it has not caused any impact, she even feels that punishing this person is a waste of time.
"Don't move."
There was no reasoning or harsh words to be said. Tu Nian stepped forward and raised his hand to pinch the back of Lin Qingqing's neck, pressing her face to face him. He immediately circulated his spiritual power and said with a faint smile: "Otherwise, if my spiritual power is messed up, you will be a useless person for the rest of your life."
