Chapter 56 A Flower
The young man raised his voice: "Who else is there besides you?"
"ah???"
Nan Xiao was full of doubts, wondering how he could make the elixir without moving.
Rely on thoughts?
But she doesn't have that ability yet.
"The spiritual plant in your hand belongs to our Third Senior Sister. You are not allowed to touch it." The young man explained.
Nan Xiao: “…”
Hi, she thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a spiritual plant. If she was not allowed to move it, then she could just leave it alone.
Nan Xiao put the spiritual plant down and asked politely, "Which one can I use?"
She is not allowed to move here. She must be given spiritual plants before she can make pills.
"The first room you turn right after you go out is where all the spiritual plants needed for alchemy are. You can just go and get them yourself." The young man said with a cold face, and then started to busy himself.
Nan Xiao followed the boy's instructions and found the room where the spiritual plants were kept.
There were empty bamboo baskets inside. Nan Xiao took two, filled the two baskets, and returned to the place where she was refining the elixir.
Elder Qin has not returned yet, but the man and woman who went out first have returned.
The boy who was cold and fierce before was now chattering non-stop around the aloof girl.
What is this called? A cool and aloof boy suddenly turns into a little fanboy.
"Junior brother, instead of talking to me, you might as well make more pills and save more people." The girl still had a cold expression, keeping people at a distance.
The boy blushed and stammered, "Okay... okay, Senior Sister."
Nan Xiao saw this scene and bit her lip to suppress the upward curve of her mouth.
Weren't you looking quite impressive just now?
Now she looks like a young wife?
The young man just happened to look up and saw Nan Xiao trying to suppress her laughter, and he glared at her fiercely.
What's so funny, little brat?
Nan Xiao, unwilling to be outdone, made a face at him. Then, he quickly walked to his seat and began to refine the elixir.
The afternoon went relatively smoothly. Elder Qin came by halfway to check on their progress in alchemy.
Night falls
Qiao Yue arrived as expected.
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
"Junior sister, junior sister, I'm coming..."
"Second Senior Sister, I'm here." Nan Xiao cleaned up the mess on the table.
Qiao Yue floated in like a light butterfly.
"Junior sister, are you tired today?"
Nan Xiao shook her head. She used to often make pills by herself, and would spend the whole night doing it. The last time she went into seclusion, she even pushed her limit and locked herself up for nearly a month, spending the entire time on making pills.
She was still a little uncomfortable with refining medicine with so many people.
"Senior Sister Qiao, I'm leaving first." Jian Mo packed up her things and greeted her indifferently.
"Junior Sister Jian, be careful on your way back." Qiao Yue said with a smile.
There was also a hint of intimacy in his tone.
Jian Mo nodded, her gaze lingered on Nan Xiao for a moment, then shifted away.
Others also began to leave one after another.
Only Nan Xiao and the other person were left in the room.
She put away her alchemy furnace and said, "Senior Sister, let's go too."
"Um."
"Senior Sister, are you familiar with Senior Sister Jian from before?"
The two of them strolled along the blue brick path in the moonlight.
"She is Shiqing's junior sister. We used to see each other often, so we became familiar with each other after a few visits." Qiao Yue took Nan Xiao's hand and a hint of shyness flashed across her fair cheeks when she talked about Zhou Shiqing.
Although I couldn't see Qiao Yue's expression clearly, I could tell from her voice that she was blushing.
Nan Xiao sighed.
It seems that the second senior sister has fallen deeply in love with that man.
Not good!
"Junior Sister, although Junior Sister Jian looks cold and difficult to get along with, she is actually a very warm-hearted person. She just doesn't talk much and doesn't know how to express herself. You will understand after spending a few days with her."
When Qiao Yue heard Nan Xiao's sigh, she thought that she had an unpleasant experience with Jian Mo today, so she explained.
Junior Sister Jian always looks cold no matter what she does. Sometimes she is clearly doing it for the good of others, but what she says always leads to misunderstandings.
One is her junior sister, and the other is the junior sister of her sweetheart. Naturally, she doesn't want the relationship between them to become awkward.
Nan Xiao chuckled softly, "Second Senior Sister, you're overthinking it. I haven't spoken a single word to this Senior Sister Jian today, let alone any misunderstandings. I just saw her talking to you, so I asked one more question."
"So that's how it is. After this matter is over, I will introduce you to Junior Sister Jian. You two will definitely have a lot of common topics." Qiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Both of them are alchemy practitioners, so they should be able to chat with each other.
"Okay." Nan replied with a smile.
As she walked, Nan Xiao felt that the surroundings were abnormally quiet.
When you first come out, you can hear the sound of leaves swaying in the wind and the rustling sounds made by animals.
At this moment, the world around me seemed to be muted.
Nan Xiao's hand tightly grasped Qiao Yue's arm and whispered, "Senior Sister, something is wrong."
Qiao Yue also sensed something unusual and nodded seriously.
The alchemy yard is not far from the city lord's mansion, just one street away, and it should be there after turning a corner.
But this road now seems to have no end and I can never finish it.
"Senior Sister, we can't go on like this." Nan Xiao stopped Qiao Yue.
Then he took out the black sword and wanted to fly into the air to see what was happening around him.
No matter how Nan Xiao used his spiritual power to activate the Xuan Sword, it remained motionless.
"Junior sister, I'm here."
Qiao Yue took out a talisman, and as soon as she flew into the air, she was knocked back by an invisible force.
Nan Xiao caught the person with a small bud.
"Second Senior Sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just saw a flower." Qiao Yue said
"flower?"
"Yes, it's flowers." Qiao Yue said affirmatively.
It was just a glance, but there was no mistake.
"Sister, do you still remember what that flower looks like?" Nan Xiao asked
Why are there flowers here?
"No, I only saw a shape."
Before Qiao Yue finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up around them, so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.
Nan Xiao tied their wrists together with a small bud to prevent them from being blown apart.
Qiao Yue took out the talisman with difficulty.
"Shield charm."
In an instant, a protective shield formed around the two of them, isolating them from the strong wind outside.
Qiao Yue took advantage of this time to cast a few talismans, and the wind outside gradually stopped.
"Junior sister, let's go..."
Qiao Yue held Nan Xiao's hand and took two steps when a group of black people appeared around them. Judging from the number of people, there were at least thirty of them.
"Junior sister, this time it's me who has implicated you." Qiao Yue protected Nan Xiao behind her.
In the past two years, she has encountered so many assassinations, big and small, that she can't even remember how many times.
But this time they were the most brazen, actually daring to take action outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The junior sister is young and is an alchemy practitioner who has no ability to protect herself, so she has to protect her.
"What are you talking about, Senior Sister? They are just some evil spirits that cannot show up in the light. Pull them out and give them a good beating." Nan Xiao took out the bow that he had refined before and held it in his hand.
It’s a good opportunity to test the power of her magic weapon.
"Junior sister is right."
She also wanted to see who it was this time.
The man in black rushed forward with a sword.
Qiao Yue took out a stack of explosive talismans and blew them up one by one.
The man in black was blown into powder and dissipated into the air on the spot.
They are not real people. No wonder I can’t feel the fluctuation of spiritual power from them.
