After Ningxia left the team, it wasn't too far behind. It still relied on Greedy Wolf's mace and wouldn't look too far behind.
She also chose a direction where she could see the movement of Wolf Three, which would make it easier for her to wait for opportunities.
"Senior Sister Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought I wouldn't see you until it's over."
"It's really been a long time no see..."
"Fellow Daoist Xu." Ning Xia nodded to Xu Liang, who was following silently beside him.
This person seemed to have encountered something bad, and his brows were full of depression. He was completely different from the high-spirited person he was when we met half a year ago. It's hard to believe this is the same person, he's in such bad shape.
He must be worried about Tang Wen'an. Ningxia had listened to it before in her spare time, and secretly complained about that daring guy.
It's been so long, and this fellow Daoist Xu still looks like he hasn't come out yet. This is really an excellent senior brother. It is not his responsibility, but he refuses to let him go.
That Tang Wen'an was really causing trouble to himself, and he also made his senior brother suffer as well. Why don't you just go to the island and take a walk? He had to pay attention to the Holy Vein and get involved in other people's century-old drama.
In the end, I ended up losing money to myself. Even if the greedy people don't deal with him now, it's probably impossible for this person to escape unscathed when he returns to the clan.
"Are you here to participate in the sword competition? Just the two of you?" Ning Xia asked casually.
"Yes. I signed up for the Qi training group and wanted to see the world. It's not a waste of time." Unexpectedly, the first person to respond to her was not a certain senior brother who was very polite, but the young master Xie Shi.
This little young master who used to be too naive seems to have changed a lot and grown a lot in the past few days since we didn't meet him. Even the demeanor, words and deeds have made great progress.
Listening to his answer, he still responded so proactively, Ningxia could tell that he must have signed up out of his own will.
If he were in the past, he would not be so brave to come and participate in the sword competition. It's too late to hide. I didn't expect that this little boy would undergo such a big change in just six months.
Ning Xia could be said to have watched his transformation with her own eyes, and in addition, her own state of mind was also very different in the past six months, which made her feel right and wrong.
"Oh, those little ones are too young and have little cultivation, so they don't want to come and join in the fun. So this time, only Junior Brother Xie and I will participate in this grand ceremony." Xu Liang shook his head and answered Ning Xia's question, indicating that those little ones are I will not attend this ceremony.
"What about you, Senior Sister Ning? Are you also here to participate in the sword competition?" Xie Shi asked doubtfully.
It's not that he didn't see Ning Xia's obvious uniform, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked this question.
Ning Xia shook her head: "I won't participate this time. I was ill a while ago and I still haven't recovered. There are so many experts at the festival, so I, an injured person, won't go up and join in the fun."
"Are you injured?!" Xie Shi was shocked and quickly observed his friend's face. Sure enough, he looked pale and his breath was weak, as if he was out of breath, and indeed he looked like he was ill.
He noticed something was wrong when they met just now. He felt that something was wrong with Ning Xia's face, but he was quickly overcome by the joy of reunion. Now that the other party said this, he immediately saw it clearly.
Monks rarely get sick. Once they do, nothing good happens. Very few monks get sick smoothly.
Thinking back to Ningxia's "lost contact" a while ago, I thought something must have happened to the other party. But Ning Xia didn't want to say it, and it was hard for him to pursue the question, so he had to suppress it for now.
Ningxia came up with a bunch of nonsense to fool people for the time being. Several people tacitly agreed not to continue talking about this topic.
"By the way, that..." Xie Shi seemed to have remembered something and was about to ask, but when he met Ning Xia's deep eyes, the words that slipped to his lips suddenly stopped and he swallowed them back.
He saw the other party shaking his head incomprehensibly towards him. Xie Shi immediately understood and said, "...when will we return to the inn."
Ning Xia breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party understood her hint.
No matter what the reason was, it was inconvenient to mention Chong Huan again. At least in this land, don't mention it anymore.
Xie Shi had been with them for so long before, so he could guess a few things. Even though Ning Xia had never said anything related to him, she could probably guess that Zhong Huan's identity was sensitive.
So when he was about to ask the question, he saw Ning Xia's strange expression and cleverly put away his words without asking any questions.
Ningxia also believed that the other party would not mention such a person to others here. Whether it is to fellow disciples or other strangers.
"I probably won't go back to the inn. I would also like to ask Junior Brother Xie to settle the bill for me, so that I don't have to hand over spiritual stones for nothing."
Ning Xia remembered that she had left in a hurry that day, so she immediately transferred from Si Wu Xing to the Tan Lang Mace dormitory without thinking of checking out. Although I thought Xie Shi would have thought of this, he still mentioned it just in case.
"Senior Sister Ning, I listened to you and moved to Senior Brother Xu's inn the next day. I gave you your room a long time ago. How could it be delayed until now? Otherwise, how big of a bill would it be?" Xie Shi couldn't laugh or cry. .
If Senior Sister Ning doesn't worry about anything else, why should she worry about these irrelevant things? Could it be that he was so unreliable in her eyes?
"I'm not afraid that you will forget? After all, those days were chaotic and chaotic, and you may forget everything. Otherwise, thank you. What if we are found out that we haven't paid off the house before we leave, how embarrassing it would be."
Ning Xia also knew that her thinking was strange, and she might have embarrassed others again. But she just couldn't control her occasional leaps of thinking.
"Sister Ning, you..."
Xu Liang looked at the two chattering people with a smile and remained silent, with no intention of intervening in the conversation between the two "children".
…
"Your relationship is really good." Xu Liang sighed.
Xie Shi was about to say something...
But Ning Xia saw that Lang San seemed to be almost there, and said quickly: "Sorry, I probably have to leave. I'll catch up with you again when it's convenient next time."
He said he was looking for them, but in fact he was just looking for Xie Shi. She also wanted to talk to Xie Shi about Zhong Huan, whether it was true or not, she had to tell him anyway.
After all, Xie Shi is the second person in the world who has witnessed the existence of Zhong Huan. Ningxia felt that she should at least tell him.
Xie and Shi also saw the movement over there, expressed their understanding and left without saying anything more.
So when Lang San came back, Xie Shi and the others had already left to do their own things. The two parties did not meet.
"Have you met your junior brother?" Lang San asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah. We happened to meet up and chatted for a while."
"Don't worry. When the sword competition is over, you and your fellow apprentices can go back. Madam Hongji will personally send you back."
Oh, soon? When will it be the end?
