Chapter 179 Heaven's Favorite
Everyone's eyes turned to Nan Xiao at the same time.
The young disciple also stood there in a daze, looking at Zhou Shiqing and then at Nan Xiao, not knowing who to listen to.
Zhou Shiqing asked gently, "Is there anything wrong with this, Junior Sister Nan?"
Nan Xiao lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and replied, "Brother Zhou, do you remember what my Second Senior Sister told you before?"
Zhou Shiqing and Jian Mo thought about it and then nodded.
When Qiao Yue came to tell them about the strange things happening to the young disciple of the Tianjian Sect, they actually didn't believe it. In addition, they were busy with the competition and forgot about it.
Nan Xiao directly took out the recording stone and said calmly: "You will know after watching this."
No explanation in words can be as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
She injected a trace of spiritual energy into the recording stone, urging the images to speed up. It showed Chen Chaochao walking among the demons, watching a disciple of the Tianjian Sect die, and finally seeing corpses scattered all over the ground.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood as the only sound.
A heavy atmosphere weighed on everyone.
Nan Xiao handed the Huanhai Sect disciple's ID card to Zhou Shiqing and said slowly, "I think they would rather have Senior Brother Zhou take them home."
Jian Mo's eyes were already moist, but her face became even colder.
She clenched her fists, then stood up suddenly. Just after taking two steps, Zhou Shiqing called her: "Third Junior Sister, sit down. Junior Sister Nan hasn't finished speaking yet."
Zhou Shiqing's voice had always been gentle and soft, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze. But this time, it carried a suppressed chill that sent shivers down one's spine.
Jian Mo's clenched fists were shaking. She took a deep breath and, with great effort, suppressed the emotions surging wildly in her heart, then returned to her seat.
Zhou Shiqing carefully put away the identity cards of his fellow apprentices.
He forced a smile and asked, "Junior Sister Nan, I guess there's something else you want to say?"
Nan Xiao nodded, it’s good to talk to smart people.
She said: “There is something wrong with Shen Chaochao, and now it is obvious to everyone.”
"My fellow disciples are still lying in the tent. I can't let such a dangerous person get close to them."
Jian Mo said with a cold face: "Then kill her. After she committed such a crime, which sect would tolerate her? Even the Tianjian Sect can't protect her."
One of the younger disciples echoed, "Yes, kill her and avenge our fellow disciples."
"Senior Sister Jian is right."
“·······”
Zhou Shiqing gave a look and everyone quieted down instantly.
Nan Xiao raised his head and said to the young disciple who had reported at the beginning, "You've been delayed here for quite a while. If you know something, you have to keep it hidden. Don't let Shen Chaochao see any clues. Go back and steady her. Don't let her out of your sight, don't let her get too close to you, and especially don't let her get close to anyone in the tent. Can you do this, little junior brother?"
The young disciple's heart was burning with anger, and he wanted to kill Shen Chaochao immediately. Although he didn't know what Nan Xiao meant by saying this, he just needed to know that he had to cooperate.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on her."
The young disciple said this and left.
Qiao Yue asked puzzledly, "Junior Sister, why don't you just tie him up and bring him back to the sect, and let Master and the others handle it?"
Nan Xiao chuckled, picked up a stick casually, and fiddled with the fire on the ground.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Zhou, do you know what it means to be a favorite of Heaven?"
Zhou Shiqing frowned slightly, but patiently explained, "A darling of Heaven, as the name suggests, is someone favored by Heaven. They often possess special constitutions or exceptional talents, and their path of cultivation is smoother than that of ordinary people."
"Isn't this something everyone knows? What's the connection between these two things, Junior Sister Nan?"
Nan Xiao raised his head, looked directly at them, and said seriously: "Of course there is, Shen Chaochao is the darling of heaven, believe it or not, if we catch her now, after a while, there will be all kinds of people or things to help her out of danger."
A disciple in the crowd asked, "Is it so weird?"
Nan Xiao shrugged helplessly and said calmly, "I don't know. Do you want to try?"
When something is too outrageous, no matter what you say, others will just think you are alarmist or exaggerating. Only when they experience it themselves will they believe it.
The young disciples looked at each other without saying anything.
Finally, it was Zhou Shiqing who spoke up: "I believe Junior Sister Nan already has a plan to deal with it, but does she need our cooperation?"
"Senior Brother Zhou is really smart." Nan Xiao crossed his legs and slowly spoke of his thoughts: "This isn't a good idea, but I'm thinking that we're still in the secret realm, and there are too many variables. If we capture her now, or even kill her outright, I'm afraid some unpredictable variables might arise. It's better to wait until we're out of the secret realm and make her deeds public in front of all the sect masters. Then, no matter what happens, the sect masters will be there to handle it."
She just didn't believe that when Shen Chaochao was notorious and everyone was calling for her to be punished, would God still help her?
Someone in the crowd sneered, "To put it bluntly, you're just a coward."
Nan Xiao didn't care. After all, no one else had personally experienced Shen Chaochao's weirdness.
Only she has experienced this, and isn't this also a kind of loneliness?
She pointed in the direction of the tent and said, "You're right, I'm a coward. My fellow disciples are weaker than ordinary people right now. I won't take any risks until they recover."
"If our philosophies don't align, we can just go our separate ways to avoid dragging each other down."
Nan Xiao spoke bluntly, the matter has been made known to you, what you want to do is your own business, but you must not drag down her fellow disciples.
The disciples fell silent instantly, their eldest brother was also lying inside...
At the same time, he was worried. What if Nanxiao's words were true? If the Xiaoyao Sect and Huanhai Sect members didn't participate, would they be able to handle any unexpected events? Could they guarantee the safety of himself and his fellow disciples?
Aren’t they gathered together now just to take care of each other?
Some people felt guilty and kept their heads down in silence.
Zhou Shiqing said, "Then let's listen to Junior Sister Nan. The time for the secret realm to open is almost here, and we can only pretend for a few days at most. If you really can't stand it anymore, we can all act separately according to our own ideas."
He would not restrain or care about the disciples of other sects. Only the few disciples of Huanhai Sect who were present were given special instructions by Zhou Shiqing.
In the end, everyone parted on bad terms.
Nan Xiao and Qiao Yue walked to the front of the tent, stopped, turned their heads and looked at Shen Chaochao, who was sitting alone under a tree. The latter curled up and seemed not to see Nan Xiao.
She retracted her gaze and said, "Senior Sister, let's go in."
As soon as the two stepped into the tent, Shen Chaochao raised his head, his almond-shaped eyes full of resentment.
She knew everything. She had just learned from those young disciples that it was Nan Xiao who disguised himself as a little demon and sneaked in, which was why things turned out like this.
If it weren't for Nan Xiao, she would be the savior of all the sect disciples.
Why does she want to snatch everything from her? Why doesn’t she just die?
