I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

The mountain road on the way back was much quieter than the one on the way there.

The night wind rustled through the bamboo forest.

Ning Qian walked half a step ahead, but the arm holding the bulging cloth bag seemed to be holding it with extra force.

The silence lasted for a while before she spoke softly:

"I'm sorry about what happened today."

She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully, "It's my fault for dragging you into this. Fei Wu is a narrow-minded and vindictive man; I'm afraid he'll cause trouble in the future..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Tonight, it seemed like Fang Xuan was displaying great power, but in reality, it was because of her that Fei Wu and even the Fei family behind him were completely offended.

Because in the beginning, it must have been because of Shen Qingqing.

"Senior sister, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'implicated'? They were the ones who were blind and asked for a beating. Besides..."

Fang Xuan quickened his pace and walked alongside Ning Qian.

"My senior sister's affairs are my affairs."

Ning Qian paused slightly in her steps.

The boy's clear features were particularly distinct under the moonlight, his eyes clean and pure, without a trace of hypocrisy or calculation, only pure protection.

Ning Qian's guilt about using him intensified at this moment.

She had initially thought he might have ulterior motives or be unfathomable, but looking into his calm gaze now, she realized that she herself had been petty.

Ning Qian didn't say anything more, but just hugged the heavy bag in her arms even tighter.

These... can be considered as money he "earned" for her.

.......

When we returned to the quiet courtyard in the valley, it was already late at night.

Fang Xuan pushed open the bamboo door, took a deep breath of the familiar, crisp air, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He's growing to like this place more and more.

It's peaceful and tranquil, without much intrigue or fighting, and... well, a beautiful senior sister.

His gaze swept over the small medicinal herb field in the corner of the yard.

New seedlings have sprouted.

"He's good-looking," Fang Xuan muttered, feeling a strange sense of accomplishment.

It's that simple: growing herbs, practicing swordsmanship, mooching meals, and occasionally teasing...my senior sister. It seems pretty good.

Live a peaceful and comfortable life...

What's a good name for the baby...?

This thought suddenly popped into Fang Xuan's mind.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, almost tripping over the threshold.

...? ? ?

No, what am I thinking?

He shook his head vigorously to shake the thought out of his mind.

Ning Xuan?

Yes, it sounds nice.

Fang Xuan: "..."

He felt his face getting hot, but luckily it was dark enough and Ning Qian was in front of him, so he couldn't see her.

No, the key point is that the system made another random judgment.

Add 1 point, and you'll get two steamed buns as a reward.

What kind of dangerous ideas is this system encouraging?

.......

Fang Xuan forced himself to bring his attention back to reality.

He still had a whole steamed bun from the system reward that he hadn't eaten, which he could use to solidify his newly broken through to the Void Core realm.

He had originally thought that since he had revealed his nascent core strength tonight, Ning Qian would at least ask him a few questions.

After all, considering his age and the time he spent learning, this speed is simply astonishing.

He had been keeping it a secret for a while, partly to avoid arousing Ning Qian's excessive vigilance.

Anyone would suspect that someone with such terrifying talent, a mysterious background, and who deliberately gets close to her has ulterior motives.

He even prepared a set of excuses, such as family secrets that can stimulate potential, but there are side effects.

Ke Ningxian... hasn't mentioned a single word about it since she left the restaurant.

Did she not notice? Impossible.

Her perception of aura is no weaker than mine.

Is it that she doesn't care? Perhaps.

Or perhaps... she already had a guess, but for some reason, such as being saved by a life-saving grace.

I chose to remain silent for the time being and observe how things develop.

Fang Xuan couldn't figure it out.

But Ning Qian didn't ask, so he was naturally happy to relax.

"It's not raining today..." Fang Xuan looked at the clear night sky, his mind starting to wander again.

The roof doesn't seem to be fixed yet? Although he checked it yesterday and the small damage wouldn't affect anything, but...

He needs to figure out a way to play dumb and continue to freeload off his family.

"Senior sister,"

Fang Xuan quickened his pace and caught up with Ning Qian, who had already reached the door of her house.

"Um... the roof, I haven't had time to fix it today. The weather looks pretty good tonight, but what if it rains heavily again in the middle of the night like before..."

"Mmm." Ning Qian responded softly, lowered her eyes, and pushed open the door. "Stay here tonight."

He followed Ning Qian into the house.

The furnishings inside were still simple, but the air was filled with Ning Qian's unique, faint, cool fragrance, which made him feel much more comfortable than returning to his own cold and desolate bamboo house.

"Senior sister, I'll sleep on the floor tonight."

Fang Xuan spoke up, pointing to the corner of the room, "I think that's fine."

Ning Qian glanced at him and shook her head: "No need."

Then she didn't say anything more, turned around and went to the back room to wash up quickly.

Taking advantage of this moment, Fang Xuan quickly returned to his room.

I'll just take out the spiritual energy bun that the system rewarded me and eat it.

He sat on the bare bed in his room, his blankets still drying outside.

Fang Xuan took out the large steamed bun and ate it in a few bites.

The pure and gentle spiritual energy once again surged into his limbs and bones, flowing into his dantian, making the nascent dantian "seed" more stable, and the spiritual pressure it emitted became even heavier.

He let out a long breath, feeling incredibly refreshed.

Composing himself, he returned to Ning Qian's room. Ning Qian had already washed up and changed into a plain white nightgown.

She sat on the edge of the bed with her long hair down, gently wiping the ends of her hair with a dry cloth.

In the dim candlelight, her lowered eyes appeared exceptionally gentle, lacking the daytime aloofness and possessing a more domestic and graceful charm.

Fang Xuan looked away and went to wash up quickly.

When he returned, Ning Qian was already lying down, facing inwards, wrapped in her own blanket, with only her dark hair and a section of her fair nape showing.

The room was completely dark, with only a little moonlight filtering in from the window.

Fang Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the dark roof beams above him.

System! This isn't considered training? Where's the progress bar?

Fang Xuan was taken aback.

...Sexual discipline?

What is this? Huh?

Mugwort? But he's a man...

Ahem...are you there...?

If it's a senior female student, then... is also acceptable...
