Chapter 119 Chicken Soup for the Soul
Nan Xiao hurried all the way to Jiangxia's yard.
The courtyard door was closed. She stood outside and called out loudly several times, "Big Brother, are you there?"
"Big Brother."
“…………”
inside the house
Jiang Xia heard Nan Xiao's voice and came out of his cultivation state.
He stared at his hands, watching his cultivation level drop to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Is someone like him really worthy of being the eldest brother? He can neither bring honor to the sect nor protect his fellow disciples, so what is the meaning of his existence?
Jiang Xia took a deep breath, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, raised the corners of his mouth slightly in a gentle arc, and then stood up to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Nan Xiao slid into the yard as nimbly as a loach.
"Big Brother, long time no see."
Nan Xiao found a chair and sat down in a familiar manner, then picked up the spiritual fruit on the table and started to eat it.
Jiang Xia had no choice but to pour her a cup of tea, placed it in front of her, and asked in a gentle voice, "When did you come back?"
"I just came back. Second Senior Sister is back too." Nan Xiao finished chewing a spiritual fruit, placed his hands on the table, and said solemnly, "Big Brother, I came back this time and brought you a gift. I promise you'll like it."
The little girl's smug expression is almost reaching the sky.
Jiang Xia laughed and said cooperatively, "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
"Close your eyes and open your mouth."
Jiang Xia was puzzled: "Huh?"
Could it be that the gift that Junior Sister brought him was some novel snack?
In the past, my junior sister loved to tinker with food. If she saw any new snacks when she went to Tianhe City this time, she might actually buy some for him.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Jiang Xia thought about it and decided to cooperate seriously. He couldn't spoil her fun and just treated it as playing with her.
Nan Xiao quickly stuffed the pill into Jiang Xia's mouth.
She urged, "Big Brother, swallow it."
Jiang Xia swallowed subconsciously, and the voice of his junior sister rang in his ears again.
"How is it, Big Brother, how do you feel?"
Jiang Xia opened his eyes and saw his junior sister's big, bright eyes looking at him with a little expectation.
He thought that the junior sister had given him some kind of elixir to increase his cultivation. Although he knew in his heart that this kind of elixir was useless to him, looking at the junior sister's expectant expression, he couldn't bear to disappoint her.
Just as he was about to say something to cheer her up, he discovered that the pill transformed into a warm current after entering his body, flowing slowly along his meridians towards his spiritual roots.
The faint smile on Jiang Xia's face froze at the corners of his mouth. He stared at Nan Xiao intently, and countless stars seemed to explode in his eyes in an instant, filled with unspeakable shock.
His eyes were slightly red, his voice was hoarse, and he spoke incoherently: "Junior Sister, this pill, my spiritual roots... I..."
Nan Xiaoxiao said: "Big Brother, this is the Good Fortune Pill. I spent a lot of effort to get it. Why are you still standing there? Don't waste this medicinal power."
After saying that, Nan Xiao also took out many rare treasures that could help improve his cultivation.
The table was filled with colorful purple wisteria, spiritual fruits obtained from the illusion, and treasures collected from Chen Chaochao.
"Big Brother, you know I'm a worthless fighter. I almost died during this outing. Second Senior Sister was constantly being assassinated, and Fourth Senior Brother was seriously injured trying to save me. We had a miserable time out there, getting beaten by demonic spirits, evil cultivators, and finally, the demon clan. It was truly miserable."
"So, Big Brother, you still have several Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters to protect, so you can't have any other messed up thoughts. Besides, I've offended the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect so much, and I also captured the little Demon Lord of the Demon Tribe and made him a slave for a while, so I must have offended others as well. You see, whether it's the Demon Tribe or the Heavenly Sword Sect, I can't afford to offend them. At this time, I need my Big Brother to support me."
"Big Brother, you must become a super strong person, otherwise I am afraid that I will offend more and more people in the future, and I am afraid that you will not be able to protect me."
Jiang Xia: “…”
He was initially moved by the junior sister's first words. But after hearing the rest, the emotion on Jiang Xia's face froze, replaced by a look of helplessness and a mixture of laughter and tears. His gaze towards Nan Xiao was complex, yet filled with endless doting.
"You, you," Jiang Xia sighed softly. He knew exactly what his junior sister meant by that.
It simply means that he still has his fellow junior brothers and sisters around, so he shouldn't do anything stupid.
He felt that he had been hiding it very well. Not only his fellow apprentices, but even his master and the elders didn't know what he was thinking, and how did his junior sister notice it.
Nan Xiao forcefully fed Jiang Xia some spiritual advice. She said solemnly, "Big Brother, the path of cultivation is incredibly difficult, and you've already overcome the most difficult trials. You will rise to the top with unparalleled skill, and lead our Xiaoyao Sect back to being the greatest sect. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I will."
Perhaps inspired by his junior sister's words, Jiang Xia was inexplicably excited.
In the past, he never gave up even when his spiritual roots were damaged. Now that his junior sister has found the Fortune Pill for him, he has no reason to give up.
"Okay, then, Big Brother, you refine the elixir first, and I won't bother you anymore."
Nan Xiao left after saying this, and considerately closed the door before leaving.
Jiang Xia stared at the door, chuckled, and then quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
Although Junior Sister didn't say it, one can tell that the process of obtaining this elixir was extremely difficult.
Jiang Xia's heart was filled with emotion and self-blame. He was moved by his junior sister's unreserved care and dedication, and blamed himself for not only failing to protect her as the eldest senior brother, but also forcing her to take risks for him.
He took a deep breath and immersed all his mind in cultivation. The energy circulated around his body and the medicinal power of the pill slowly dissolved in his body.
This gift from Junior Sister was too precious, and he didn't know how to repay her. Just like Junior Sister said, he would become stronger and become their strongest support.

When Nan Xiao returned to the yard, it was already dark.
Only two inner disciples were left in Lu Huai's courtyard to look after the unconscious Lu Huai, while the others returned to their own courtyards.
"Hello, Fifth Senior Sister."
The two young disciples greeted Nan Xiao immediately when they saw him walk in.
Nan Xiao looked at their tired faces and guessed that they hadn't gotten enough rest during this period because of Lu Huai's matter.
She took out two bottles of nourishing elixirs, handed them to them, and said, "I'll take care of him here today. You can go down and rest."
The two young disciples' eyes lit up, as if they had seen light, and they quickly said, "Thank you for the elixir, Senior Sister. You have worked hard."
After saying that, the two of them walked away briskly together.
Nan Xiao sighed and said, "See, no matter which world you are in, there are cattle and horses."
The master is the same. He didn't even bother to find a few more people to take turns looking after them. He just picked on these two little disciples.
This has caused these two young disciples to look old even though they are young.
No, she has to talk to her master about this when she has time.
