“Oh? What is it?”
Li Nan said casually.
Wei Ning paused before finally speaking up, “Was that sword mound eruption because of you, Brother Pill?”
This question had been lingering in Wei Ning’s mind for the past few months.
When he was initiated that day, it was only after he returned that he heard about the sword mound erupting, the trillion ancient swords coming out, and also killing a true disciple outright.
Later, through other clues, Wei Ning had also learned about Gao Zhuo’s close proximity to Ji Xian.
And from that night, immediately afterwards, came the reason for the death of both Gao Zhuo and Song Cang.
The first thought that came to Wei Ning’s mind when he put all this together was that all of this was probably closely linked to his own brother Pill.
In fact, there was no need for any evidence at all, just from Wei Ning’s understanding of his own Pill Brother’s strength, Wei Ning was able to guess that all of this must be related to his own Pill Brother as well.
After all, he had only gone through Pill Brother’s instruction for half a year before his own sword intent had already reached the level of a true transmission, so naturally, his own Pill Brother’s sword intent was far more powerful than his own!
“Sort of.”
Faced with Wei Ning’s question, Li Nan didn’t hide too much and said directly.
Even though he was prepared in his mind, but when he actually heard Li Nan’s affirmation, Wei Ning’s heart could not help but be shocked.
To be able to awaken all the trillions of ancient swords in the entire Sword Mound with his own strength, how powerful a sword intent must this be?
Wei Ning simply couldn’t imagine it!
“Brother Pill, if you’re so powerful, why do you still want to join the Divine Martial Sword Sect? And only as an ordinary outer disciple?”
Wei Ning was completely unable to figure it out.
After all, his own Brother Pill was so strong that even becoming a true disciple would be more than enough.
“This ……”
After a pause, Li Nan pretended to be deep and said, “Actually, I’m a person who prefers to keep a low profile.”
Wei Ning: “……”
It had to be said that Brother Pill had caught Wei Ning off guard with this p*ssyfooting.
Of course he knew that his own Brother Pill was indeed more low-key, but Wei Ning could also be certain that his own Brother Pill’s entry into the Divine Martial Sword Sect and his willingness to become an ordinary outer disciple was definitely not just because of the simple fact that he was low-key.
“Actually, I’ve almost guessed the reason why Brother Pill did this!”
Wei Ning suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Hearing these words, Li Nan was stunned, and his mood actually even got a little tense.
No way, he had obviously been secretive enough, but was the other party still aware of it?
Was it true that he was not suitable for a low-profile persona?
Or was it because Wei Ning was too smart?
Just as Li Nan was dwelling on this in his mind, he heard Wei Ning over there say in an extremely serious manner, “Brother Pill, you must have come to the Divine Martial Sword Sect to pursue Senior Sister Luo!”
“Eh?”
Li Nan was stunned.
This path doesn’t seem to be the same as what he thought.
“How did you …… you ……”
What Li Nan was originally going to say was, how could you think that.
But in Wei Ning’s opinion, what his medicine brother was bound to say was, How did you know that.
“Hahahaha, sure enough, I guessed it! Brother Pill, I really didn’t see it coming, you’re usually so serious, but I didn’t expect you to be moved by emotions!”
Wei Ning gloated up over the fact that he had guessed everything.
At this moment, Li Nan, on the other hand, was completely at a loss as to what to say.
Well, don’t worry about you, just be happy.
Li Nan happened to have no idea how to explain to Wei Ning, and now, since Wei Ning had already made up everything in his head and thought up an excuse for himself, then Li Nan had saved himself a lot of trouble.
At this moment, he heard Wei Ning continue with gusto, “Brother Pill, you do have a good eye, Senior Sister Luo is not only beautiful, but also has a very strong cultivation level, so she’s a perfect match for you! Moreover, I think that Senior Sister Luo might also be interested in you!”
As a senior virgin, Wei Ning was at this moment making an emotional judgment based entirely on his own lonely eyes, which was not too different from a blind man feeling an elephant.
Only, hearing Wei Ning say this, Li Nan was a little surprised.
What he himself hadn’t even seen yet, Wei Ning had actually seen, this was too incredible, right?
“No, how did you see that Senior Sister Luo was also interested in me?”
Li Nan asked with a bitter smile.
From the perspective of the others, if a titled true disciple, the sect’s number one beauty, would be interested in an ordinary outer disciple who had just joined the sect, they would definitely think that Wei Ning’s brain had been kicked by a donkey to come up with such an unrealistic idea.
However, Wei Ning’s next reply made Li Nan frown.
Only to hear Wei Ning say very seriously, “Of course I can tell, because Senior Sister Luo she has asked me about you more than once!”
“What? How could such a thing happen?!”
Li Nan’s heart instantly became a little alarmed.
He knew very well that such as Luo Wanqiong’s current status in the Divine Martial Sword Sect, as well as her character nowadays, there was no way she would easily be so concerned about an ordinary outer disciple.
And now, she had actually focused on herself, which made Li Nan’s heart feel very unsure.
“Tell me carefully, what exactly did she ask.”
Li Nan pursued.
Wei Ning didn’t hide anything and then told Li Nan everything that Luo Wanqing had inquired about with him before.
After hearing this, Li Nan was completely frozen.
He was now basically completely certain that Luo Wanqiong was only suspicious of his identity!
This made Li Nan’s mind puzzled.
He had already been discreet and careful, and he had even changed his face, but why had he aroused Luo Wanqiong’s suspicion even though he had only just entered the world?
Li Nan was convinced that he hadn’t revealed any flaws, but he couldn’t figure it out after all.
According to Wei Ning, it was only the time when he had just started, but recently, Senior Sister Luo had rarely asked about herself and seemed to have relaxed her vigilance, which made Li Nan feel a little relieved.
At this time, only to hear Wei Ning then add, “Brother Pill, from my point of view, you might as well hurry up and show your strength and become a true disciple directly, so that you will have more chances to come into contact with Senior Sister Luo, and won’t your chances of successfully chasing after Senior Sister Luo be greater! Hehehe ……”
Wei Ning raised his eyebrows, looking as if he was waiting to see a good show.
Li Nan couldn’t help but give Wei Ning a blank look.
And a little more exposure, Laozi now kind of wants to escape the sect and get as far away from this Senior Sister Luo as possible!
“Alright, don’t meddle in my affairs, you’d better think about how to improve your cultivation as soon as possible before you do!”
Li Nan said in a good-natured manner.
For an outer disciple to advise a true disciple in the hall to raise his cultivation, Li Nan felt like he was really drifting a bit.
At this moment, Wei Ning seemed to think of something else and said, “Right, Brother Pill, in a few months’ time it will be the new disciple training, will you also go along?”
About this new disciple training, Li Nan had also heard people mention it.
Every new disciple, after a year of initiation, would go to a remote realm located in the remote realm of the Divine Martial Sacred Land to go on an adventure.
That place was known as the Sword Desolate Ancient Land!
It was rumoured that the Sword Desolate Ancient Land was one of the few ancient relics in the True Martial World.
Since ancient times, the Sword Wasteland had not had much contact with the outside world, nor had it undergone any recent construction, so the entire Sword Wasteland was still remnant of the ancient times.
The entire Sword Desolate Ancient Land is as if it has been moved directly from the past to the present day, and whether it is the environment or other things inside, it is a completely different concept from the present day True Martial World.
It is said that there are many ancient beasts in the Sword Wasteland and many dangers.
In contrast, the entire Sword Desolate Ancient Land had an unspoilt aura environment.
That was the true existence of absolute spiritual qi!
It was precisely for this reason that the Sword Desolate Ancient Land was used as an excellent place for new disciples to train, not only to temper their minds, but also to help them in their initial stage of cultivation.
In fact, like the Sword Desolate Ancient Land, there were other absolute spiritual qi left behind by the ancient times for each other throughout the True Martial Realm.
In the Divine Moon Pavilion as well as there in the Xiu Luo Palace, there were also similar existences like this, which were likewise for new disciples to experience.
Apart from testing what the new disciples had learnt in the past year, there was another most important purpose of such new disciples’ training, and that was to select the elites from among the new disciples!
In particular, those disciples who performed most outstandingly during the whole training would most likely be promoted directly to the inner disciples and enjoy better cultivation resources!
This was also the reason why Wei Ning really wanted his own Brother Pill to go.
Only, Li Nan wasn’t too concerned about these so-called rewards.
The only thing that interested him was probably the absolutely spiritual cultivation environment in that Sword Desolate Ancient Land.
And then there was the legendary ancient beasts there!
One had to know that back then, when Li Nan was in Dragon City, he had only used the pills made by that thousand year old sea scorpion to raise his cultivation, to a not insignificant level.
A thousand year old sea scorpion could have such a great effect, if one were to use those ancient beasts to refine a pill, what kind of effect would it have?
Li Nan was definitely very much looking forward to it!
“Let’s talk about it.”
Li Nan said casually.
Afterwards, Li Nan stayed on Wei Ning’s Yongning Peak for a while longer before leaving straight away.
As soon as he returned to the Seventh Courtyard, Li Nan saw that quite a few people had already gathered in the entire courtyard.
At the head of the group was the Inner Sect disciple who managed the entire No. 7 courtyard, Ni Zhen!
As soon as he saw Li Nan enter, Ni Zhen’s eyes all looked towards him.
Obviously, they were waiting for Li Nan to return!
Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Nan’s heart instantly realised something.
These people had gathered here to wait for him, I’m afraid it was nothing good!
