Chapter 72 Returning Home
Su Xun suddenly closed the distance between him and Nan Xiao. He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her closely, and asked with a hint of inquiry, "Junior Sister, are you hiding something from us?"
Qiao Yue was stunned. What did Fourth Junior Brother mean by this? Was there something else she didn't know?
Nan Xiao frowned slightly and took two steps back, creating some distance between them. Fourth Senior Brother suddenly came right up to her face, so she couldn't see clearly what he was saying.
After all, she can't read lips, so now she has to guess and guess everything when communicating.
"Fourth Brother, what did you say?"
Nan Xiao thought he had disguised himself well, but these people were not stupid either, and they all noticed something unusual.
Her tone and expression were not right when she spoke.
Su Xun stood up straight. In order to confirm his guess, he opened his mouth slightly and moved his lips, but deliberately did not make any sound.
Nan Xiao said seriously, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
As soon as she said this, everyone around her fell silent and the atmosphere became solemn.
Qiao Yue walked behind Nan Xiao and called out several times: "Junior Sister..."
However, the latter did not respond at all.
Qiao Yue's eyes were full of heartache, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nan Xiao's arm tightly.
Nan Xiao was slightly stunned and looked up at her. Why was Second Senior Sister crying?
"Second Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Xiao's eyes were fixed on her lips. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he turned his gaze to Su Xun, wanting to ask him what was going on.
The latter just looked at her quietly.
Nan Xiao sighed lightly. What was there to not understand? It was just that he had made a mistake in his acting.
She took Qiao Yue's arm and said comfortingly as they walked: "Second Senior Sister, don't worry, my hearing loss is only temporary and will recover in a few days."
It is said that every failure makes one wiser. After this incident, she saw the shortcomings of Zhenlei and had new ideas in her mind.
She wanted to upgrade the bomb to make it small-scale, with great destructive power, and attack silently, so as to harm people without them being noticed.
Otherwise, it would make such a loud noise every time, which would easily make people defensive. Furthermore, it cannot be used in crowded places, as it could easily hurt innocent people. It's too restrictive, not good, and needs to be changed.
Qiao Yue asked Nan Xiao to face her, her eyes full of concern. She slowed down her speech and said word by word, "Don't hide it from us next time, understand?"
After she finished speaking, she reached out and gently stroked Nan Xiao's hair, "We are all very worried about you."
"Yeah," Nan Xiao nodded. She didn't want to say that her original intention was not to make them worry, but she didn't expect that it would backfire.
Nan Xiao changed the subject and asked about the mandala, "Have you found the flower?"
If she blows her into pieces, she will be a sinner!!!
Should have thrown two fewer bombs.
"Don't worry, the datura flower is dead. I also had the stamens quickly sent back to Elder Qin."
Nan Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good, that's good"
At this time, Zhou Shiqing walked slowly to Nan Xiao, nodded and smiled at her.
Nan Xiao slowly looked up at him, her clear eyes full of confusion.
It seems that she is not familiar with this cheap brother-in-law.
Everyone thought Zhou Shiqing had something to say to Nan Xiao, so no one disturbed him.
Zhou Shiqing bent down slightly, gently taking Nan Xiao's hand, and then slowly channeled a rich spiritual energy into her palm. He whispered softly, "Junior Sister Nan, try to channel this spiritual energy to your ears and use your heart to feel the subtle fluctuations of the spiritual energy around you..."
Nan Xiao was stunned at first, then furious. Although she was a minor, she was still a young girl, stunningly beautiful, captivating and captivating.
Does this cheap brother-in-law have any sense of boundaries?
Nan Xiao was about to get angry when a comfortable spiritual power spread through her palm. She stared at Zhou Shiqing's lips and probably understood what he meant.
It seems she misunderstood.
According to Zhou Shiqing, one should gather spiritual power in the ears and sense the subtle changes in external spiritual power.
Seeing Nan Xiao getting into the mood, Zhou Shiqing waved his hand gently to summon a breeze, and the leaves rustled.
He asked, "Did you hear that?"
Nan Xiao unconsciously closed her eyes and listened carefully to the clear sound of the wind, the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds and cicadas...
Suddenly, she opened her eyes with surprise, "I can really hear it..."
“Cheap… No, Brother Zhou, how did you do it?”
Nan Xiao changed his words in time, his bright eyes full of curiosity.
What you learn is what you earn.
When she first discovered her hearing loss, she quickly used medicinal pills and spiritual energy to try to repair it, but it didn't work. Since she began practicing, her physical condition has been improving, and her injuries have healed quickly. After a careful examination, she confirmed that there was no damage to the inside of her ear.
Therefore, Nan Xiao speculated that the deafness was probably caused by the huge impact of the thunder explosion and was only temporary.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shiqing cured her, which was a pleasant surprise.
After all, no one wants to be deaf.
Zhou Shiqing chuckled: "It's just a small spell. When Junior Sister Nan's cultivation level improves, she will naturally learn it."
Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."
After confirming that Nan Xiao was fine, the group began to walk towards Tianhe City.
Although the mandragora flower core had been sent back, Qiao Yue was still worried because she hadn't seen the people of Tianhe City recover with her own eyes.
······
It was already midnight when the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
The palace soldier guarding the gate saw that the visitor was his eldest daughter, so he stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Miss, you're back."
Qiao Yue murmured "hmm" softly, then asked, "Has there been anything unusual in the city these past two days?"
"It's the same as before, nothing unusual." The soldier replied
"Okay, find someone to clean up a few guest rooms and go downstairs to get busy."
"yes"
After asking the question, Qiao Yue waved her hand and let everyone leave.
She said to fellow apprentice Yang Boyong, "It's late today. You two can rest at home first and make plans tomorrow."
The two of them bowed and said, "Then we'll trouble Junior Sister Qiao."
After going through this, they were both physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, the junior brother was here too, so it wouldn't be too late to leave together after his injuries healed.
The maidservant beside her stepped forward and saluted: "Two monks, please come this way."
Only Huan Haizong and two others and Nan Xiao and three others were left in the hall.
Zhuo Hua's eyes lingered between Zhou Shiqing and Qiao Yue. With a malicious smile, he leaned close to Zhou Shiqing's ear and teased, "Big Brother, are you going back to the villa with your junior brother, or are you staying in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Zhou Shiqing felt somewhat helpless. He picked up the hilt of his sword and knocked on his forehead. "You're talking nonsense."
Zhuo Hua pouted and said, "You two's engagement is a well-known fact. What's wrong with him saying a few words?"
It's only a matter of time.
The eldest brother is stingy.
Qiao Yue's face flushed, and she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Junior Brother Zhuo, Elder Qin and the others are probably resting by now. There are quite a few empty rooms here, so why don't you stay here tonight?"
