Chapter 16: Seeing Lou Yunxiao Again
Ning Xiaoxiao finished eating and let out a burp of fullness. Ning Ke habitually took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Ning Xiaoxiao saw he wasn’t very happy, asked carefully: “Brother, is it because I ate too much, you can’t afford the burden?”
Ning Ke looked at the silly little sun-like heroine, expression twisted then relaxed, twisted then relaxed, finally couldn’t help saying: “Silly child, listen to Brother’s advice, don’t get close to men in the future, otherwise you will become unhappy.”
“Of course, except your Brother me.”
Ning Xiaoxiao nodded seemingly understanding but not quite, then grinned: “Mm, Brother you are a good person, I’ll listen to you.”
Ning Ke couldn’t change the plot at will, but he genuinely didn’t want to watch the girl who looked like his own sister become a love-brain for this brat Lou Yunxiao!
It’s enough for the heroine to be beautiful alone!
Let him play this love-brain!
Don’t drag his sister into this!
Riding Gao Ze’s small flying boat, the group arrived at the Sword Sect very quickly.
Although the Sword Sect was poor, the necessary things weren’t bad.
Several mountain peaks stretched continuously, with palaces and cave abodes entrenched on them, looming in the clouds. The main peak was like a stone sword piercing straight into the nine heavens, standing among them, emitting that daunting sword intent from afar.
Gao Ze handed the new little bean sprouts to the managing disciple, only beckoning to Ning Ke and Ning Xiaoxiao.
“You two, come with me.”
Before Ning Ke left, he heard other disciples discussing.
“Those two have high talent, should be accepted as personal disciples by the Sect Master.”
“So envious, it’s good enough for us to scrape into the inner sect, personal disciple is something we dare not even think about.”
“But I heard some time ago Sect Master Gao accepted that Lou family person as a disciple too, isn’t this nonsense?”
“Even if his talent was superb before, now the Lou family has fallen, Liuyun Sect wiped out, his eyes are blind, destined to cut off the path of ascension. Cultivating Demon on top of that, keeping him is simply a scourge!”
“If one day he goes crazy, we are the ones who will suffer…”
“Quick stop talking, the managing elder is looking at us.”
“They are talking about your Eldest Senior Brother Lou Yunxiao.”
Gao Ze walked in front, actively explaining this matter.
“Is Eldest Senior Brother a Demon?” Before Gao Ze could continue, Ning Xiaoxiao asked curiously: “Will he go crazy?”
“Uncertain.” Gao Ze didn’t speak for Lou Yunxiao, only emphasized.
“But since I accepted you as disciples, from now on you two are his Junior Brother and Junior Sister. Upon seeing him, the necessary courtesy cannot be missing. As for the rest, judge for yourselves.”
Ning Xiaoxiao nodded ignorantly, turned her head and saw Ning Ke beside her with a serious face whispering to fool her: “I think he is definitely a Demon, and maybe one day he will go crazy, and possibly eat people! So don’t provoke him. In the future if he has issues, find me first, understand?”
[…Host, do you know you are easily messing up the plot like this?]
Ning Ke: Who cares, with me here, the pig shouldn’t think about rooting up my cabbage!
Xiao Yuan also knew Ning Ke was so abnormal because of Ning Xiaoxiao’s appearance, laughing silly at this moment, asking back: [Then let him root you?]
Ning Ke: …Hiss, let me slow down a bit more.
Sword Sect’s resources were limited. Even Gao Ze’s personal disciples could only be assigned to a courtyard to live, but at least everyone had their own room.
At this time Lou Yunxiao was locked in the Demon Sealing Tower, so only Ning Ke and Ning Xiaoxiao remained in this separate courtyard.
Gao Ze distributed personal disciple uniforms to them, threw them the disciple manual, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ning Ke.
The boy looked at the courtyard that was indeed somewhat dilapidated, and said to Gao Ze.
“Master, I want to renovate.”
Gao Ze’s footsteps stiffened, coughed dryly, carefully choosing words: “Recently the sect might…”
“I’ll pay for it myself.”
“No problem.” Gao Ze immediately changed his tone, turned around and left.
Afraid Ning Ke would regret if he ran slow.
Ning Ke: “…”
“Brother, why renovate?” Ning Xiaoxiao walked to the room belonging to her, happily touching here and there: “I think this is already good enough, much better than my leaking mud wall home!”
Hearing this, Ning Ke almost wiped a tear.
He stroked the ahoge on top of Ning Xiaoxiao’s head, saying: “Cub, remember, a man willing to spend money on you is a good man.”
“Since I’m covering you, I want to give you the best.”
“Girls need to be raised richly, understand?”
Ning Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, nodded obediently: “Understood!”
Money makes the world go round. Ning Ke casually dug around his storage ring and hired a whole construction team.
Directly refined this separate courtyard into a paradise.
And the room exclusive to Ning Xiaoxiao was arranged by him to be sparkling, jewelry filling the dressing table, beautiful clothes filling the wardrobe.
He even personally made many modern plush toys for Ning Xiaoxiao. Seeing the girl happily hugging the toys, unable to put them down, he revealed a satisfied old father’s smile.
Accompanying Ning Xiaoxiao to eat silly, drink silly, and play silly for quite a while like this, it was Xiao Yuan who mentioned a sentence in his consciousness: [Lou Yunxiao has been released.]
Only then did he abruptly remember his mission target was the male lead, this major life event forgotten by him in the corner.
At that time, Ning Ke was holding a sword sparring with disciples in the martial arts arena. From afar, he saw Lou Yunxiao led by the managing elder, walking step by step towards the main peak.
The boy wore shackles on his hands and feet, his eyes covered with the moon-white silk ribbon Ning Ke gave him. His figure was slightly thinner than when the two parted in the Demon Abyss.
His lips were pursed very tight. When expressionless, his surrounding temperament tended to be cold.
calculating according to time, the current Lou Yunxiao should have been locked up by the Sword Sect for half a year.
Clearly returned to the Human Realm, yet facing not warm greetings, but the Four Sects Joint Trial and imprisonment.
Plus the cold eyes and wariness of the same race.
Adding that there wasn’t a single person to confide in, it was normal for Lou Yunxiao to have such a personality change.
With an upward flick of his hand, the sword in the fellow disciple’s hand was sent flying by Ning Ke.
He turned to smile at that disciple, saying gently: “You let me win.”
“No no no, it’s Senior Brother you are too strong.”
That disciple belonged to the inner sect, but had to call personal disciples Senior Brother.
He saw Ning Ke send his sword flying while distracted.
The gap in strength was visible to the naked eye.
“Xiaoxiao.” Ning Ke nodded to him, then waved to Ning Xiaoxiao who was sparring with female disciples over there.
The little girl ran over immediately, asking him: “Brother, what’s up?”
Ning Ke instructed her: “Tonight you sleep at the inner sect disciples’ place, come back tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Ning Xiaoxiao turned to leave, remembered something, turned back again, asking him thief-like: “Brother, are you going to secretly bring someone back behind my back? Sent me away afraid I’d find out?”
“…” Ning Ke wondered how this little girl got led so astray by the disciples in the sect, didn’t do anything else during this time, grew all heart-eyes.
He waved his hand, “Go play yours, don’t guess blindly.”
After speaking, he left the martial arts arena, walking straight towards the main peak where Lou Yunxiao had left.
