Tianning was completely unaware of what had happened at the Wenren Mansion.
However, on this day, his cultivation showed signs of a breakthrough, and he directly rose from the seventh level of Qi Chain to the ninth level of Qi Chain. The sudden surprise made Tian Ning wish he could fight his bad senior brother for three hundred rounds!
Unfortunately, it's broad daylight now, and the wicked senior brother usually only comes out at night.
As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw the bustling scene outside.
Third Senior Sister Shi Qinxin was clinging to Fourth Senior Brother, refusing to let him leave, while Eldest Senior Brother stood by, trying to smooth things over.
"Fourth Junior Brother! Come with me to the new secret realm of the Talisman Immortal Sect! This may be my only chance to wield a sword! Can you bear to let your Third Senior Sister remain a useless alchemist forever?" Shi Qinxin clung tightly to Long Aotian's beggar's clothes.
"Third brother, stop talking nonsense! Your dantian is completely destroyed, what's the use of just reconnecting the severed meridians? Let's not even talk about whether that secret realm has what you want; one of us is a fifth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the other is a sword cultivator whose cultivation has regressed from the Golden Core stage. If we go together, we might just get killed in the secret realm!" Long Aotian looked like he wouldn't budge no matter what.
"Stop bothering me while I'm collecting trash! I'd rather die out there being robbed than live a life of crime!"
Tianning leaned closer curiously: "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's Junior Sister." It was rare to see Tianning, who usually stayed in the courtyard reading storybooks all day, come out. Fu Hongming explained what had happened to her.
"Here's the thing, a new secret realm has recently appeared near the Fuxian Sect. Your third senior sister received news that a sixth-tier spiritual plant, the Blazing Flame Fruit, might appear within the secret realm. With this crucial medicinal ingredient, it might be possible to reconnect your third senior sister's severed meridians."
"It's quite a coincidence that your third senior sister once saved the sect leader's personal disciple. In gratitude for saving her life, that disciple helped your third senior sister obtain two spots to enter the secret realm."
Tianning: "So Third Senior Sister wants Fourth Senior Brother to accompany her to the secret realm?"
Fu Hongming nodded.
"My third junior sister originally wanted me to come along, but as you know, junior sister, our situation at Sword Guardian Mountain is different from other sects. Our master is still lying there, how can I leave?"
Fu Hongming said dutifully, "I still have to check on my master's breathing every day. I absolutely cannot let the Sword Protection Mountain fall apart like this."
Tianning: "..."
She really wanted to say it.
Actually, if you stay away from Master, Master might live longer.
"Oh, right! If Fourth Junior Brother doesn't want to go, Junior Sister can go!" Fu Hongming, who was still hesitant, seemed to have thought of something: "Junior Sister can't stay in the sect forever. According to the sect's requirements, disciples must have a certain number of points deducted every month, and these points must be earned by completing tasks. Once the points are negative three times, the disciple will be expelled from the sect."
This is also to encourage disciples to actively complete their tasks.
"Junior Sister, why don't you take this opportunity to go to the Mission Hall and take on some missions that can be completed in this secret realm?"
His words puzzled Tianning: "But I've noticed that you senior brothers never do any missions and just stay in the sect all the time?"
Fu Hongming: "That's because we completed all the points needed for the next hundred years five years ago."
Tianning: "..."
So what were these so-called good-for-nothings like before?
Before Tian Ning could even agree, Shi Qinxin and Long Aotian both refused!
"No way! She's only just joined the sect, and there's no one to teach her how to cultivate. How can she come with me into such a dangerous secret realm!"
Long Aotian: "..."
Does that mean his life isn't a life at all?
"No! Junior Sister can't leave. If she leaves, I can't handle the madmen who come out at night by myself!"
He finally managed to subdue the madman and give him a breather; he didn't want to be beaten so badly he couldn't even fight back...
As a homebody, Tianning wasn't very enthusiastic about going out, but his senior brother said that if he had negative points and three demerits, he would be expelled from the sect.
Tianning didn't want to move again, so he had no choice but to work honestly.
Tianning was very envious of the senior brother who had enough points to accumulate for a hundred years. She planned to simply go to the Mission Hall and accept a lot of missions at once!
Fu Hongming told Shi Qinxin, "Third Junior Sister, Junior Sister is very strong. Don't worry, you feel much safer with Junior Sister than with Fourth Junior Brother."
Long Aotian: "..."
Can you please stop speaking in a sarcastic or mocking tone?
Tianning stood on tiptoe, patted his fourth senior brother's shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, fourth senior brother, I have a way to deal with the eldest senior brother who comes out at night."
As she spoke, she said to Fu Hongming, "When you get back, I'll check how your sword practice is going. If you don't practice properly and just focus on fighting with your fourth senior brother... even if the Sword Protection Mountain falls apart, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth to find your eldest senior brother—"
Even though his junior sister spoke in an exceptionally gentle tone, Fu Hongming felt a chill creep up his forehead.
Another Fu Hongming: "..."
Shi Qinxin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the way Tian Ning and the two of them interacted.
She agreed to Fu Hongming's suggestion, but still pulled him aside to give him a heads-up: "Senior Brother, you know my situation. Men are fine, but women... I might do something to Junior Sister and hurt her..."
"Won't."
