There has been a rumor circulating among the freshmen of Jixue recently that Senior Sister Tu, who is in charge of their comprehensive teaching, took a day off and seemed to be exhausted from the rest.
The specific manifestations are as follows.
In the past, their Senior Sister Tu was always the first to rush to the cafeteria after supervising a class. But now, she has lost interest in eating, and her appetite has noticeably decreased. Furthermore, the past two days, Senior Sister Tu has stopped slacking off with the students while supervising, and even ignored Bai Zhu, whom she was usually close to. The class has become completely lifeless, significantly affecting the efficiency of the lesson.
Most of the new students are still young and like the lively and interesting Tu Nian the most. Now seeing her listless all day long, they are discussing why and what to do.
Finally, one day after class, at the instigation of his friends, Bai Zhu stopped Tu Nian, who was about to go back to the yard to lie down, and asked that very classic question.
"Senior sister, are you heartbroken?"
“…”
After going over his words three times in her head to make sure she had heard correctly, Tu Nian raised her left eyebrow, lowered her right eyebrow, and squeezed the right side of her face together. She raised her tone and uttered softly, "Huh?"
Bai Zhu's delicate face froze for a moment, and he immediately shifted the blame and pointed behind him, "They asked me to ask!"
Tu Nian narrowed his eyes, "They?"
Bai Zhu didn't say anything and nodded repeatedly.
Tu Nian tutted lightly, looked at the empty tables and chairs behind him, and said threateningly, "Are you going to come out on your own, or am I going to drag you out?"
After the words fell, the air fell into silence. Not long after, heads popped out from under the tables and chairs behind Bai Zhu. The male cultivator standing in the front bared his teeth, "Senior Sister, we are worried about you..."
"Worry?"
Tu Nian gave him a gentle smile and said, "Have you all learned the formation that Elder Wang taught you last class?"
The male cultivator's smile froze and he stopped talking.
"There's still about a month until the trial. You guys aren't paying attention in class, and you still have time to worry about whether I'm heartbroken?"
Folding his arms and looking around, Tu Nian feigned anger and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you go back and review?"
There was a loud bang in the room, and all the students except Bai Shu dispersed. Tu Nian looked at Bai Shu, who refused to leave, and said calmly, "I know you're good at formations, so why don't you practice swordsmanship?"
"sister."
Bai Zhu pursed his lips and called her unwillingly, his eyes shining as if he could see through her.
“Again…”
Tu Nian scratched his head in frustration, and then the beast grabbed his shoulder and pushed him out of the classroom. "They're making this up out of nothing. Why are you joining them in this fun?"
What she couldn't stand the most was Bai Zhu, a child who was obviously very smart and calm, but he was particularly good at acting like a spoiled child in this kind of matter.
Bai Zhu wanted to resist, but his Qi Refining Stage body couldn't withstand the power of Tu Nian's Golden Core cultivation. He could only try to slow down his pace and said with a worried look on his face, "Don't tell them anything. Everyone is worried about you, and so am I."
"Looking for trouble."
Rolling his eyes, he pushed the man out the door. Tu Nian let go, holding the door with one hand and pointing at him with the other, "You! Go back and study. If you can't pass the next trial, I'll tear you apart and roast you over a fire."
"sister……"
"Bang--"
Without waiting for Bai Zhu to speak again, Tu Nian closed the door, turned around and lay down on the desk, one hand on his forehead, his eyes half closed.
"Bullshit about a broken heart." She kept muttering to herself for a long while.
She was just a little uncomfortable.
Almost since entering this book, Tu Nian has never been separated from Bo Qiu. When Bo Qiu was Xuan Jian, she carried him with her all day long. Later, when he transformed, the two of them even lived in the same room. It has been half a year now.
When he left, even for a short time, she felt something was wrong.
As for what's wrong specifically...
Maybe there was no one to warm the bed. After all, every day when she went to bed, she would lift Bo Qiu off the bed and then get in to sleep herself. The temperature of the bed warmed up in the process was just right for falling asleep.
Tu Nian stared at the sunlight coming in through the window in a daze, and waved his hand meaninglessly to create some shadows.
“It’s annoying—”
She complained in a drawn-out voice.
It seems I still need to find something to do.
That afternoon, inside the main peak tower.
"You mean, you want to go to the blue sea with me?"
"The eldest senior brother has to stay to keep Zhenzong, and the second and third senior brothers have to lead the newcomers to practice sword. I am the only supervisor who is idle. Who else should I lead?" Tu Nian said righteously.
After reviewing the document in his hand, Nie Yanchen frowned and looked at Tu Nian, "Little Fourth, I'm not going to the Blue Sea for fun this time. I have a lot of things to do, and I may need help to deal with them..."
Tu Nian immediately raised three fingers to the sky and said sincerely, "I promise not to cause any trouble to Master and will be here whenever he calls."
Nie Yanchen took a breath and said with some embarrassment, "Qiu Rong originally said that she wanted to use this opportunity to go out and relax."
"Oh, really?" Tu Nian said expressionlessly, "I plan to contribute all the money I earn in the next few months to our sect..."
"Let's go! Let's go tomorrow!"
Putting down his pen, Nie Yanchen greeted her without blushing or breathing heavily, "Xiao Si, go back and prepare first. I'll take you to the Blue Sea as soon as I finish my work with the sect tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master! See you tomorrow then."
Tu Nian smiled with a look of triumph, then turned and ran away. Nie Yanchen watched her cheerful figure leave, and he couldn't help but sigh. After a moment, he called out to the door, "Shiyan."
A young man soon entered the corridor and bowed respectfully. "What are your orders, Sect Master?"
"Go tell Qiu Rong later that he won't be accompanying you to Bi Hai tomorrow. Tell him to teach well in the sect."
After Nie Yanchen finished speaking, he emphasized, "Remember, we'll talk about it later."
"yes."
After the man left, Nie Yanchen raised his hand and rubbed his face, muttering to himself, "Qiu Rong, it's not that Master doesn't want to give you a vacation, but the current conditions of the sect really don't allow it..."
Who made his Xiao Sifei a talisman cultivator? This kind of professional suppression is something that a sword cultivator like you can't compare to.
So, due to Tu Nian's momentary interest and Nie Yanchen's deliberate delay, Chu Qiurong's short vacation was suddenly taken advantage of. The next day, he angrily went to Nie Yanchen to ask for an explanation, but at this time, Nie Yanchen was already on the way to Bihaimen with Tu Nian.
It had been a long time since anyone had taken her on a flying sword. Tu Nian leisurely watched the scenery along the way and listened to Nie Yanchen chatting with her about some old gossip. Her eyes and ears were enriched and her mood improved slightly. She temporarily put Bo Qiu's thoughts out of her mind.
When the two arrived at the Bihai Gate, Tianyin's Sect Master Zhong Ming had just arrived. The two groups met, which saved Fang Yuan, who was waiting outside the sect, the trouble. After a brief greeting, they sent everyone to Xue Shiqian.
