The process of breaking through the obstacles was smoother than Tu Nian had imagined.
In just one night, after following Bo Qiu's instructions, as the two talismans burned out, the black air on Jin Nanfeng's forehead disappeared.
Nie Yanchen watched the whole process from the side, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.
After the task was accomplished, Tu Nian put away her posture. Nie Yanchen quickly came over to help her lift Jin Nanfeng up. The two of them, one on each side, carried him to lie on the cold marrow bed and helped him to transfer his soul so that he could wake up faster.
After doing all this, Tu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to ask Nie Yanchen to praise him, but ended up seeing him looking at him with an indescribable expression.
Tu Nian shuddered and took two steps back, "Master, you're making me feel a little scared."
Seeing that she still dared to hide, Nie Yanchen was furious. He reached out and grabbed her back, saying in a subtle tone, "Disciple, are you going to explain to me where the Tushan talisman came from?"
Nie Yanchen was quite depressed.
Even if he couldn't be said to be completely open-hearted with Tu Nian, he could still be considered sincere. But this girl, on the other hand, had been in the sect for nearly half a month, and she hadn't even told him the truth.
Isn't this just treating him as an outsider?
Tu Nian felt guilty when he looked at her, and wanted to find a way to hide, but Nie Yanchen held her and didn't even allow her to turn her head. She could only explain with a smile, "When I first joined the sect, I wanted to say that Master was busy and went out, and then I needed to gain experience. Now -"
"Snap."
She clapped her hands and said, "I've been delayed."
After a few breaths, Nie Yanchen snorted meaningfully and did not respond. Tu Nian secretly glanced at his face and saw that his eyes were narrowed, which made it clear that he was not going to accept his words.
Her neck was sweating and she gestured frantically, "This is not my fault!"
Nie Yanchen raised his eyebrows as he watched her struggle, "Who is to blame?"
"Second Brother!"
Tu Nian suddenly had an idea and found someone to take the blame for him. "The last time I went to the sword tomb to retrieve the sword, I told him everything about my life story clearly. He was the one who hid it from everyone. If you don't believe me, go ask him. He's absolutely right."
Tu Nian said this with great confidence, and Nie Yanchen believed it a lot. However, if Chu Qiurong was present, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged.
God can bear witness. Tu Nian had just killed the snake demon at that time, and she was arguing with him tearfully, obviously to protect the newly acquired sword. He was so busy trying to coax her that he had no idea that she was telling the truth.
But Tu Nian didn't care about all that. It didn't matter who was blamed. Since Chu Qiurong happened to be involved, he would take the blame. After all, he was their senior brother.
Nie Yanchen himself had no intention of dwelling on such a trivial matter. After hearing her say this, he let go of her hand and sat aside, folding his arms and looking at her. "Since your disciple has no intention of hiding anything from me, why not tell me everything today?"
"What do you want to tell me?"
Tu Nian blinked, not knowing what Nie Yanchen wanted to ask her.
Apart from the Tushan bloodline, and at most the little things about the Yuqing Sect, she had told him all of this. If there was anything else... could it be Bo Qiu?
Speaking of Bo Qiu, Tu Nian felt a little insecure, but before she could think about it, she heard Nie Yanchen say again: "Disciple, your life story has been exposed, so what else is there to hide about your spiritual roots?"
"Huh?" She was stunned by the question. After coming to her senses, she said puzzledly, "Didn't I tell you about this earlier? It's a fake spiritual root."
Nie Yanchen looked at her with amusement, "Fake spiritual roots?"
Tu Nian had a calm expression on her face. Just as she was about to respond, Bo Qiu suddenly moved at her waist. Then, his voice, full of regret, came out: "Who said you have a fake spiritual root?"
“…”
Surprised by Yu Boqiu's sudden question, Tu Nian paused and wanted to wait for his next words, but unexpectedly, this guy just said this and then there was no movement.
Isn't she a fake spiritual root?
Recalling the plot in the book, Su Youzhi dug out the original owner's spiritual roots in order to improve his luck, but is it really so?
Because Tu Nian only read up to the part where the original owner was made into an elixir, he did not read any further, so he had no idea what the spiritual roots that were dug out from the original owner were used for.
Maybe I am really a hidden boss.
Thinking of this, Tu Nian's heart started beating fast with excitement. She wanted to find Bo Qiu immediately to ask him about it, but because Nie Yanchen was present, she could only suppress her thoughts and deal with it first.
As a result, all the words she had prepared were forgotten. When she looked back at Nie Yanchen a little awkwardly, all she could say was a short "hmm".
Seeing that Tu Nian had been holding it in for a long time but could only utter "hmm", Nie Yanchen's face showed some helplessness. Seeing this, Tu Nian could only lower his eyes.
The two were silent for a while. Suddenly, Tu Nian heard him chuckle. Before she could raise her eyes, a big hand fell on her head and ruffled her hair.
"Alright, Master will listen to what I want to say later."
She felt the warmth of Nie Yanchen's palm in her hair, and listened to his doting tone. For a moment, Tu Nian felt that she was really heartless.
Nie Yanchen noticed her depression, but did not try to comfort her. Instead, he pursed his lips, rummaged through his Taoist robe, and after a while, he took out something and motioned her to take it with her hand.
Tu Nian was not in a very good mood, but he still did as he was told and spread out his hands.
When she first touched the thing, she instinctively retracted her hand. After holding it firmly, she looked at Nie Yanchen in surprise, "Is it alive?"
Nie Yanchen said "hmm" with a rising tone, then withdrew his hand and smiled mysteriously at her, "Open it and take a look."
Tu Nian looked at him suspiciously for a while, then his gaze fell back on his hands.
As she slowly opened her five fingers, a small three-legged gecko appeared before her.
