Tu Nian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him, "Master, aren't you angry with me?"
Giving her a slap on the face, Nie Yanchen said unhappily, "What can I do? Who told me to have a trouble-making disciple like you? I'll just have to make do with it."
Seeing the unconcealable doting in his eyes, Tu Nian's nose felt sore and she decisively stood up and went out, "I'm going to prepare for tomorrow's trial!"
Nie Yanchen looked back at her with a look of relief, as if he was looking at his daughter. He was about to sip his tea when he suddenly realized something. He slammed the table and shouted at her back, "No, you are not allowed to go to the trial tomorrow! The matter with the man in black is not over yet!"
"Don't worry, Bo Qiu has already helped me with this matter——"
A clear voice came from far away. Nie Yanchen was stunned for a moment after hearing it, then he smacked his lips, picked up the teacup and drank it all, then sighed.
Alas, girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up.
Tu Nian rushed back to the floor where her room was. As she reached the stairs, she saw a person standing outside her room from a distance. She used her eyesight and asked in surprise, "Bai Zhu?"
"Sister Tu Nian!"
Bai Zhu hurried over upon hearing the noise. With an anxious look on his face, he carefully held her arm and led her towards the room. "You injured that man so badly, how could you run around like this?"
Supporting his small body, Tu Nian inexplicably had a very strange feeling.
Seeing his expression, she bet that Bai Zhu had been waiting outside her room for a while before she arrived. She didn't know how long he had been waiting, but when he asked her what room she was in, the boy came looking for her.
Is this the sense of accomplishment of the cultivation system?
Tu Nian dismissed the thought with amusement, and immediately comforted him, "It's okay. Shan Cangzi has already treated me. I only have some superficial wounds that haven't fully healed. Walking around will actually help with recovery."
"Where did you hear such nonsense?"
Bai Zhu frowned, his delicate eyebrows furrowed, his tone blaming him, "They weren't the ones who got hurt, so naturally, whatever they said was just a matter of talking nonsense, and in the end, you're the one who got hurt."
"You may be a young kid, but you have a big mouth." After entering the room and sitting down, Tu Nian smiled at him teasingly.
Bai Zhu glanced at her and used her words to teach her a lesson, "Some people are old, but they still make people worry."
"Little bastard!"
Tu Nian was choked and pinched his soft flesh in annoyance.
Bai Zhu didn't shout or cry out. After helping her sit down, he started to busy himself around, making tea for her and cleaning up all her food and accommodation.
Tu Nian watched him busying around, feeling a surge of relief in his heart. He asked him, "How are your preparations for the Spring Trial going? We're going on a group trip tomorrow. Who are your teammates?"
Bai Zhu was tidying up her bed. Upon hearing this, he turned around and glanced at her in surprise, "You know quite a lot."
Tu Nian smiled, "Because I care about you."
Bai Zhu's cheeks flushed, and he quickly turned his head back, muttering, "I haven't seen you for almost a month, and you're only separated by a door, yet you don't even glance at me. You still care about me like this?"
He said this, but he knew in his heart that Tu Nian was probably telling the truth.
Because the group trip was only agreed after she was confined by Nie Yanchen. According to her previous stay-at-home habits, if she hadn't asked around, she would definitely be clueless.
Tu Nian urged him, "Hurry up and tell me, at least let me hear if there are any little bastards in the group who will bully you."
"No." Bai Zhu said with a hint of arrogance, "Everyone in the group is from the same hospital. We get along well with each other on a daily basis. There's no way such a thing would happen."
"And the ratio of our cultivators is pretty good too. Two of us are sword cultivators, I'm a formation cultivator, and we have a medicine cultivator and a weapon cultivator. We have offense, defense, and supplies, which is what you mentioned, the most suitable combination for a grand competition."
"Oh no."
Tu Nian took a sip of the teacup, then found it was too hot and put it back. "It seems my hard work has not been in vain."
In order to help Bai Zhu pass the spring trial smoothly, it must be said that she really put in a lot of effort.
"It's natural."
Bai Zhu responded casually, made the bed, and went outside to bring her the prepared dinner.
Tu Nian took a quick look and saw some side dishes and white porridge. Suddenly, he remembered that it seemed that the shops in Vaud only served white porridge in the early morning. So he pointed at the dishes and porridge, raised his head and looked at him, "Did you make this?"
Bai Zhu didn't answer, but just put the spoon in her hand and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should eat something light."
Tu Nian didn't ask any more questions and just started drinking his porridge.
Bai Zhu looked at it for a while and then stood up and said, "Just put it on the table after you finish eating. The bed and mattress are made for you. Go to bed early. My senior brother will take roll call later, so I'll go back first."
"Go ahead."
Watching him leave with a smile, Tu Nian looked at the simple yet exquisite side dishes on the table, raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and then continued eating.
"There's a reason why this kid is so popular. If I were to be taken care of by him in this meticulous way, I would like him too."
"Cough, cough!"
Bo Qiu's voice sounded in Tu Nian's ears without warning. The latter was not prepared and choked on a mouthful of porridge in his throat. He coughed up snot and tears and almost got sick from choking.
After the voice, Bo Qiu's figure slowly appeared in her sight and handed her a handkerchief that appeared from nowhere. "You don't even know how to pay attention when eating."
Grabbing the handkerchief, Tu Nian covered her mouth and coughed for a long time. After she recovered, she glared at him angrily, "You think you have the right to scare me? Where did you come from?"
She was 100% sure that Bo Qiu had not come in through the main gate just now. Either he was teleported in, or... Anyway, no matter which one it was, she deserved to beat him up to teach him what politeness was.
Shi Shiran sat down beside her, and Bo Qiu raised his lips with interest, "Bai Ze is not the only one who is worried about you. If you insist, I came here earlier than him."
After saying this, he revealed a dejected expression again, "But it seems that compared to my condition, you are more concerned about how I got into your room."
Tu Nian couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Come on, you're already so energetic that you can scare people, and you still need others to worry about your condition?"
She is not someone who is obsessed with love, so she can still make such a simple inference.
Bo Qiu chuckled and didn't dwell on the topic any further. "Did Nie Yanchen look for you?"
"Yeah." Tu Nian cleared his throat and sipped his porridge while saying, "Did you just tell him your identity?"
This decision was much more decisive than she had imagined.
Bo Qiu shrugged, "I thought you would prefer this free state."
Tu Nian, holding a mouthful of porridge, said vaguely, "That's true."
Rather than hiding anything from Jixue and his group, she hoped that there would be no barriers between them. As Bo Qiu said, once this identity was revealed, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Tu Nian was busy eating, and Bo Qiu was busy watching, and they were silent for a long time.
"You enjoy eating porridge so much?" Bo Qiu suddenly asked.
"It tastes like home." Tu Nian suddenly had an idea and said it in a very emotional way.
