Chapter 58: Senior Brother Nie, I Like You

Emei Sect, Shu Xiangdie had respectfully looked at the Fanhua saintess in front of her.

However, her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

If it were in the past, she would have been extremely happy to see the Fanhua saintess in person.

But at this moment, Shu Xiangdie did not want to see her.

The Fanhua saintess was like the most beautiful flower in a cluster of flowers.

Even if she was just sitting there, her beauty was enough to captivate people’s hearts.

Unlike Empress Qingyue’s aloof and cold demeanor, the Fanhua saintess did not have that kind of haughty feeling, but instead seemed more approachable and down-to-earth.

Her every frown and smile, every movement, was not only elegant but also emitted a fragrance that captivated people’s senses.

The Fanhua saintess smiled sweetly: “Don’t be nervous, I came here today to ask you some questions that your master entrusted me with.”

Shu Xiangdie nodded: “Saintess, please ask.”

“Saintess, please rest assured, I managed to hold on until the end in the Three s’ Mausoleum and even entered the grand hall with Nie Chen.

Regarding the Secret Realm and Nie Chen’s matters, I should be the most knowledgeable.”

Emei Sect’s leader, Yu Xirong, looked on with satisfaction, feeling proud of her own disciple.

“Um.”

The Fanhua saintess nodded and lightly opened her lips, looking at Shu Xiangdie: “I ask you, did Nie Chen ever mention anything about Empress Qingyue in the Secret Realm?

Or did you feel that he had an unusual connection with Empress Qingyue?”

Shu Xiangdie shook her head: “I didn’t have much contact with Nie Chen, and I didn’t hear him mention Empress Qingyue. However, he seemed to be interested in Empress Qingyue’s Theory.”

“Oh?”

The Fanhua saintess’s eyes changed slightly, but she quickly covered up the change and continued to ask: “Did you feel that Nie Chen had anything unusual about him in the Secret Realm?”

“Unusual?”

Shu Xiangdie hesitated for a moment before denying: “Except for his exceptional talent and rapid cultivation progress, I didn’t feel that Nie Chen had anything unusual about him.”

The Fanhua saintess nodded: “Then, one last question, what do you think of Nie Chen as a person?”

When this question was asked, Shu Xiangdie fell silent.

After a while, she lightly pursed her lips, and her eyes wandered.

The scenes of her interactions with Nie Chen flashed through her mind, causing her thoughts to become chaotic and unable to focus.

Even when she was surrounded by a group of disciples in the Heavenly Cloud Palace, repeatedly reciting the Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions, which almost made her forget about Nie Chen, her heart still beat fiercely.

Seeming to have made a great decision, Shu Xiangdie shook her head: “I’m sorry, saintess, I don’t want to answer this question.”

“Shu Xiangdie, you… Saintess asked you a question, and you should answer truthfully, what’s there to hide?”

Yu Xirong suddenly became anxious.

She had never expected Shu Xiangdie to act like this at this moment.

On one side was the revered saintess of the Sacred Lands, and on the other side was her own master who had promoted her to be her direct disciple.

Shu Xiangdie still deeply lowered her head, looking at the ground, with an indescribable color in her eyes: “I’m sorry, I cannot answer.”

“You!”

Yu Xirong had never expected her proud disciple to act like this and was immediately enraged.

“Forget it, since you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.”

The Fanhua saintess smiled sweetly, like the warm sunshine: “You must be tired from your trip to the Tomb, so rest for now. I’ll leave with your master.”

“Thank you, saintess.”

Shu Xiangdie slightly bowed.

“But saintess…”

Yu Xirong still wanted to say something but was interrupted by the Fanhua saintess’s gaze.

The two of them left Shu Xiangdie’s room, and after walking a distance, Yu Xirong spoke with a guilty tone: “I’m sorry, saintess, my disciple doesn’t know what’s wrong with her, suddenly acting like this. When we return, I’ll definitely scold her.”

“It’s okay, this can’t be blamed on her.”

The Fanhua saintess smiled and shook her head.

“Thank you, saintess.”

Yu Xirong was silent for a moment before asking curiously: “But, saintess, why do you seem so interested in Nie Chen? Did you already know about his exceptional talent before he entered the Secret Realm?”

“Sort of.”

The Fanhua saintess looked into the distance, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in her eyes.

Her yellow dress fluttered in the wind, outlining her elegant curves.

In the gentle breeze, she seemed like a beautiful flower.

“By the way, I’ll be holding a grand ceremony in the Fanhua Sacred Lands soon.

Remember to bring a few beautiful female disciples to attend.”

Turning around, the Fanhua saintess looked at Yu Xirong.

Yu Xirong was immediately shocked.

“The Fanhua Sacred Lands is holding a grand ceremony!”

This ceremony would likely gather the top cultivators from the world.

…

Heavenly Cloud Palace.

After a few peaceful days of eating, drinking, and cultivating, Nie Chen sat in his room, lightly stroking the Nie Feng sword on his leg.

As a heavenly-grade treasure, the sword’s phoenix patterns seemed to come alive, as if the phoenix could fly out and transform into a fire phoenix at any moment.

The red sword body seemed to burn with flames.

Although it felt cool to the touch, it seemed to have a hidden burning sensation.

However, Nie Chen clearly felt that the sword seemed to be missing something crucial.

Perhaps this was why Nie Feng had become a damaged heavenly-grade treasure.

“System, what are the conditions to repair this sword?”

Nie Chen asked in his heart.

【Ding, System detecting】

【Name: Nie Feng】

【Grade: Damaged heavenly-grade, suffered critical damage】

【Solution: Gather the fire spirit of heaven and earth, merge it into the sword, re-condense its spirit, and re-merge its form】

Nie Chen frowned: “Seems a bit troublesome.”

【Ding, there’s another method, the host can spend 10 skill points to directly repair it.】

“…”

Nie Chen was silent for a moment.

This System was indeed simple and brutal.

However, 10 skill points were too expensive.

He currently had only 2 skill points left, and if he couldn’t complete the mission on time, he would be punished by the System.

“Ah, I still need to think of a way to earn more skill points quickly.”

Nie Chen sighed.

Just then, he heard a commotion outside his window: “Let me see Senior Brother Nie, I’ve already fallen in love with Senior Brother Nie!”

“From the moment I saw your figure, my heart belonged to Senior Brother Nie!”

“Senior Brother Nie, I love you!”

“What’s going on?”

Nie Chen opened the window and looked down, seeing a large group of female disciples gathered at the foot of the Heavenly Cloud Palace mountain.
