Chapter 1100: Chapter 321: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (4)
"Senior Sister, good evening!" Li Xiao’an immediately stood up, her cheeks all red, looking really embarrassed.
"Haha, little junior sister, you don’t have to be so cautious, you really don’t need to be scared of me."
"The one you need to worry about is your Senior Sister Nanyan, especially when you’re bathing in the hot spring. You have to be careful. Your Senior Sister Nanyan is good in every way, it’s just that when it comes to this kind of thing, she really can’t control herself."
"You must be careful, especially when you’re not sure about something. Whatever you do, don’t look out the window. Sometimes, one glance and boom, dead on..."
Shen Qinghan teased her, and just as Li Xiao’an was about to answer, a graceful figure was suddenly hanging upside down from the corridor beam.
"Are you guys talking about me?" Ji Nanyan was hanging from the corridor, showing up all mysteriously.
"A ghost!"
Shen Qinghan and Li Xiao’an both got a fright. Only when they saw it was Ji Nanyan did they finally breathe out in relief.
They had no idea when she’d gotten there.
Ji Nanyan squeezed herself right between them with a grin. Like some rich madam, she wrapped an arm around each of the two girls, then chuckled and said:
"Don’t be scared, okay? We’re just worried about little junior sister Li Xiao’an here. You just arrived at our Ascension Gate, so of course this place is unfamiliar to you. That’s why we’ve been secretly watching over you, seeing if you need any help with anything."
"And I didn’t expect Senior Sister to think the same—everyone really cares about you."
"But, little junior sister Xiao’an, the Sect Leader Senior Brother is basically never at home."
"So if you really run into something, you can totally come to us. Our cultivation can’t compare to Sect Leader Senior Brother’s, but our love for you is not even a tiny bit less, okay? We’ll treat you super well while you’re still little. In the future, once your cultivation explodes and soars, you’ll have to protect us, yeah!"
Li Xiao’an didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She’d just managed to calm down and start cultivating; right now she was just a newbie mortal chick, and they wanted her to protect some big shot at the Golden Core Stage? How was she supposed to do that?
The pressure was insane.
But she was also curious, so she asked, "Is Sect Leader Senior Brother really almost never in the sect?"
Shen Qinghan and Ji Nanyan nodded at the same time. "Yeah."
Shen Qinghan bit her finger as she looked at the snowy scenery in front of them and said, "If you add up all the time Sect Leader Senior Brother spends in the sect in a year, it might not even make one full day. He’s basically always running around outside. Every time he comes back, it’s either to make the sect stronger, or to add a new junior sister."
Yuchi really was like that.
Even though he was the Sect Leader of Ascension Gate, he was almost never actually in it. If he wasn’t out there making money, he was out looking for disciples. He basically never stayed in Ascension Gate for even two days in peace. Who knew when Yuchi would stay two full days in Ascension Gate—if that ever happened, the sect disciples would definitely be over the moon.
Ji Nanyan nodded and said, "I also haven’t been in the sect for that long. But little junior sister Xiao’an, you can relax. Even with a personality like mine, I’m willing to trust Sect Leader Senior Brother, so you definitely have nothing to worry about, okay? You know, before I joined the sect, I was sure he was going to be a total scammer. But it turned out to be the complete opposite—Sect Leader Senior Brother is unexpectedly steady."
She, Ji Nanyan, had originally come here for Zong Qianqun’s sake, but after she joined the sect, everything turned out to be so easy and relaxed. Not to mention everyone in Ascension Gate was the best—getting along with the senior and junior sisters didn’t require tiptoeing around anything. Everyone was happy and cheerful; they were just one big family.
In Ji Nanyan’s eyes, Yuchi was actually really reliable. At the very least, he didn’t have any schemes to hurt people, and that was already hard to come by.
Li Xiao’an was very surprised. She hadn’t expected that her Sect Leader Senior Brother, despite spending less than a single day in the sect over an entire year, could still somehow keep the relationships between sect disciples so good. Everyone got along amazingly, and Ascension Gate’s current development was also seriously impressive.
"I heard Senior Sister Song say before that we might go out together for a trip this year?" Li Xiao’an asked somewhat uncertainly.
The main reason she asked wasn’t to go have fun, but because she wanted to find a chance to properly thank Yuchi. After all, after Yuchi brought her back, they hadn’t really communicated at all. It was her senior sisters who told her everything about Ascension Gate, to the point that she hadn’t even had a basic chance to apologize.
A trip, huh?
Shen Qinghan thought for a moment, watching the snowflakes drift down:
"I don’t know, not sure. I mean, Sect Leader Senior Brother definitely wants to take us all out to have some fun. But if it doesn’t happen this year, we really don’t need to overthink it, and we don’t have to worry that Sect Leader Senior Brother doesn’t like us anymore. It’s definitely just that he’s got things he needs to do."
Had Yuchi ever mentioned this kind of thing?
Maybe he had, maybe he hadn’t. But no one was really pinning their hopes on it now. Ascension Gate was already super insanely good as it was.
In that situation, still hoping to go out and play over the New Year did feel a bit like asking for too much. So Shen Qinghan was mostly just talking. It wasn’t like she was so, so desperate for it that if they didn’t go, she’d be all devastated or something—that just wasn’t the case.
