Chapter 38: Why Do You Want to Leave Me?
With this match finished, the Sect Grand Competition officially concluded.
After resting for a few days, the top ten could enter the Ninth Layer Profound Sky Pavilion to choose treasures. After they finished choosing, it would also be the time for the Qianyuan Secret Realm to open.
Ning Ke finally picked a jade hairpin with osmanthus flowers.
He even let Lou Yunxiao touch it carefully to memorize the style.
Finally, Lou Yunxiao personally tied his hair and put it on for him.
Lou Yunxiao pursed his lips and said, “Although I cannot see, I feel that this jade hairpin worn on Junior Brother must be extremely beautiful.”
Ning Ke looked at himself in the mirror.
The human form transformed by his tail was actually his appearance in reality.
It was different from the original owner who was a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, but the facial features had similarities.
What was missing was that charm and demonic aura.
“Brother! Senior Brother! The Sect Master is calling us to gather and go to the Profound Sky Pavilion!”
Ning Xiaoxiaoās voice rang out outside the door, interrupting Ning Keās thoughts.
“Let’s go, Senior Brother.” Ning Ke took Lou Yunxiaoās hand and went out.
Ning Xiaoxiaoās gaze fell on the two, smiling mischievously.
Ning Ke glared at her before she restrained herself.
The door of the Profound Sky Pavilion was opened by the Sect Masters joining hands.
“Children, the secret treasures in the Profound Sky Pavilion are limited. You can only take one item each. If you take more than one, you will be kicked out of the pavilion, so do not be greedy.”
The disciples naturally agreed.
The moment Ning Ke entered, he heard System Xiao Yuan’s prompt: [Host, there is a Heaven-grade pill in the Profound Sky Pavilion that can help Lou Yunxiao use your eyes. Otherwise, even if you gouge out your eyes, it will be useless if he can’t use them.]
Ning Ke paused and asked: Which floor is that pill on?
[Should be the fifth floor. You’ll have to look for it.]
Ning Ke agreed, acknowledging he knew.
But there was somewhat a bit of melancholy in his heart.
If he had to say, it was akin to the reluctance of a character about to wrap up their scenes.
Consequently, his mood wasn’t high. When Zhuang Yusheng came to talk to him, he only perfunctorily replied with a few sentences.
Watching everyone finish choosing what they wanted.
Ning Xiaoxiao chose a talisman brush, Lou Yunxiao chose a remnant scroll, and Zhuang Yusheng chose a magical artifact.
Ning Ke said, “I’ll go look on the fifth floor.”
Lou Yunxiao followed him step by step.
After hesitating a few times, he finally spoke: “Junior Brother, is something weighing on your mind?”
Ning Ke rummaged through boxes and chests following Xiao Yuan’s instructions, found that pill, and held it in his hand.
Hearing Lou Yunxiao speak, he smiled and said, “I’m fine.”
“No, something is wrong.”
“…” Ning Ke sighed helplessly.
He said, “I was just thinking that there is no feast in life that doesn’t end. If one day I leave Senior Brother, I hope Senior Brother won’t be sad.”
“…” This time it was Lou Yunxiaoās turn to be silent.
After a long time, he asked a sentence: “Junior Brother, why do you want to leave me?”
Lou Yunxiao had never thought about this question before.
The days with Ning Ke made him feel that Junior Brother would definitely always accompany him on his future cultivation path.
After all, Junior Brother was so talented, and the two belonged to the same sect.
The time spent together day and night would surely be very, very long.
So, now that Ning Ke suddenly mentioned it.
It was hard for him not to panic.
“Just… some personal matters.” Ning Ke was surprised by Lou Yunxiaoās tone.
Because the trembling tail end of his voice made him even think Lou Yunxiao was about to cry.
Thinking of something, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, saying, “You remember I said I would go home, right? I might go home in the future, so naturally, I can’t accompany you anymore.”
His answer made Lou Yunxiao breathe a sigh of relief.
He said, “Then after I take my revenge in the future, I’ll go to your home to find you. We will definitely have chances to meet again.”
Hearing this, Ning Ke rubbed the box containing the pill twice and put it into his storage ring.
He replied to Lou Yunxiao: “Mm.”
When the ten of them came out of the Profound Sky Pavilion, the top fifty disciples selected from the Sect Grand Competition had all arrived.
The entrance to the secret realm opened.
Because only disciples at the Nascent Soul stage and below were allowed to enter, other elders and Sect Masters were not permitted inside.
So they could only warn the disciples to be extremely careful about safety; the rest depended on their own fates.
The secret realm teleported randomly.
Ning Ke closed his eyes, and when he opened them, Lou Yunxiao and Ning Xiaoxiao beside him were gone.
He found himself in a forest, sensing several powerful demon beast auras around him.
He stood still, sorting through the plot in his mind.
In the plot, Lou Yunxiao and Ning Xiaoxiao would stay in the Qianyuan Secret Realm for a whole year.
As for himself, he would die in half a year.
In the plot, after A-Ke died, Lou Yunxiao and Ning Xiaoxiao took care of each other, supported each other, and their feelings heated up…
Damn!
He just remembered this point!
If he died, that big pig trotter male protagonist would go after his sister!
Did he, the bootlicker, actually become the glue promoting their relationship?
No no no! He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!
Thinking of this, he summoned the Hongyun Sword, cut his finger, and separated a wisp of his divine soul to store inside.
This way, even if he, this tail, died, he could observe Lou Yunxiaoās every move through the Hongyun Sword’s perspective!
He absolutely had to supervise Lou Yunxiao well and not let him make a move on his sister!
[Host, are you sure you are doing this just for your sister?]
Xiao Yuan’s voice made Ning Ke pause his actions.
Ning Ke: …Yes, it’s for my sister.
[But the heroine just looks similar to your sister; she isn’t your real sister. Besides, you know Lou Yunxiaoās character. Even if the two of them get together, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?]
“…”
[Or are you reluctant to let Lou Yunxiao be as close to others as he is to you?]
Ning Ke: …Alright, alright, if you say any more, I’m going to suspect I’m bent.
[Aren’t you?]
Ning Ke: You better shut up quickly!
Ning Ke felt this was just possessiveness.
Just like a child who bought a toy; if another child asked him for it, he would hesitate for a while, not wanting to give it.
He was the same toward Lou Yunxiao.
Besides, his ultimate goal was to go home.
Based on this point alone, he could never give Lou Yunxiao any sincere response.
…
Here, Lou Yunxiao walked alone in the vast desert.
Without Ning Ke by his side, without anyone else.
Only the howling wind and swirling sand remained.
Clearly, he had experienced feelings more lonely than this in the Demon Sealing Tower before.
Now, however… he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
“Holy shit! Peh peh peh!“
Lou Yunxiao heard a voice from not far away.
If he could see, he would have discovered a girl burrowing out of the sand there, pinching a struggling sand rat in her hand.
It was exactly Ning Xiaoxiao.
“Little brat, this old lady kindly saved you, yet you pulled me under the sand. Luckily this old lady burrowed out, otherwise I’d slaughter you for meat!”
Lou Yunxiao: “…”
Ning Xiaoxiao scolded the sand rat until it shivered, not daring to struggle anymore.
Looking up, she saw Lou Yunxiao and hurriedly changed into the image of a well-behaved girl, waving: “Eldest Senior Brother! What a coincidence!”
