Chapter 42: Senior Sister Nn’s Shock
Chapter 42: Senior Sister Nn''s Shock
The following morning,
"This is Senior Sister Nn''s residence up ahead."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Xiao Yi Xian sincerely spoke to a male disciple of the Yun Sect, dressed in disciples'' attire.
The young man smiled and waved his hand, then left.
After the young man departed, Xiao Yi Xian looked at a quiet courtyard not far away, her curiosity evident.
"Senior Sister Nn, does she live here?"
A smile yed on her lips as Xiao Yi Xian slowly made her way towards the courtyard.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As Xiao Yi Xian approached the courtyard, she heard the sound of martial arts practice.
Standing at the courtyard gate, Xiao Yi Xian gazed in the direction of the sounds.
Soon, she spotted a young woman dressed in white martial attire, wielding a long sword, practicing her swordy in the courtyard.
"Senior Sister Nn!"
Upon seeing the white-d young woman, Xiao Yi Xian''s eyes grew slightly cold, and she couldn''t help but call out.
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian''s voice, the white-d young woman immediately stopped her movements and looked towards Xiao Yi Xian.
"Junior Sister, you''ve finallye."
Seeing that the neer was Xiao Yi Xian, Senior Sister Nn''s charming face brightened, and she quickly ran over to open the courtyard gate.
Since their first meeting, Senior Sister Nn had taken the initiative to visit Xiao Yi Xian''s residence in Gu He, and now the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
"Come in and have a seat."
After opening the courtyard gate, Senior Sister Nn warmly pulled Xiao Yi Xian into the middle of the courtyard where there was a pavilion to sit.
"Senior Sister Nn, I was in a critical breakthrough period these past few days and couldn''t spare the time to visit you. I''m truly sorry."
After they both sat down, Xiao Yi Xian expressed her apologies.
In the previous two visits Senior Sister Nn had made to Xiao Yi Xian, she had not yet sessfully condensed the Poison Pill within her body, and the danger posed by the Woeful Poison Body had not been resolved.
She was afraid of causing harm to Senior Sister Nn, so she had declined Senior Sister Nn''s invitations both times.
"It''s okay, breaking through is more important, Junior Sister."
Senior Sister Nn''s face was smiling, and she said nonchntly, "If Junior Sister feels guilty, you cane to visit me more often in the future."
Ever since she had obtained the list of materials for refining the Emperor''s Soul Pill from Gu He, Yun Yun had frequently gone out, leaving Senior Sister Nn, who practiced alone every day, feeling somewhat bored.
In her idle moments, she thought of Gu He''s request from that day, so she couldn''t resist the loneliness and went to Gu he''s residence twice to find Xiao Yi Xian.
Now that she saw Xiao Yi Xianing to apany her, she naturally felt very happy.
"Great, as long as Senior Sister Nn doesn''t get tired of it, I wille to visit you often."
Xiao Yi Xian responded without hesitation, her face showing a smile.
As a neer to the Yun Sect, Xiao Yi Xian hardly knew anyone, so she was happy to make friends with Senior Sister Nn.
"Sister, I''m happy that you cane to apany me. How could I ever get tired of it?" Nn Yanran smiled.
Both of them were young girls of simr ages, so they naturally had manymon topics.
Soon, the two of them sat in the pavilion, chatting away.
Time passed quickly, and without realizing it, they had been chatting in the pavilion for a full two hours.
"Oh, we''ve been chatting for so long, Junior Sister. Let''s take a break from talking, and I''ll teach you some martial arts."
At this moment, Nn Yanran looked at the sky and then pulled Xiao Yi Xian to an open area in the courtyard.
"Junior Sister, do you know anybat techniques?"
At this point, Nn Yanran suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Yi Xian.
If the other party didn''t even know anybat techniques, it would be difficult to teach her.
After all, the best way to practice martial arts was to spar with another person, which would help one progress faster.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian felt lucky. Fortunately, her teacher had taught her the Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Technique, the Ripple Palm, just yesterday; otherwise, she would have been embarrassed.
"Sister, I only know one Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Technique, the Ripple Palm," Xiao Yi Xian replied.
"It''s okay, as long as you know onebat technique."
With a slight smile, Nn Yanran said, "Since you only know palm techniques, let''s start with palm techniques, and I''ll teach you how to defend first."
After saying that, Nn Yanran looked confident as she said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Junior Sister, now use the Ripple Palm with all your strength and attack me. I''ll teach you how to defend."
"This... "
"Sister, do you really want me to use my full strength?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment. During their conversation earlier, Nn Yanran had mentioned that her cultivation was at the Four-Star Dou Zong level. Xiao Yi Xian, on the other hand, was a Nine-Star Dou Zong. Could Sister Nn really withstand her full power?
"Of course!"
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian''s hesitation, Nn Yanran affirmed, "Only by using your full strength can I gauge your abilities properly."
"This way, I can provide you with better guidance."
Nn Yanran insisted, "Junior Sister, don''t worry, and don''t underestimate your senior sister. Among the younger generation of Yun Sect, no one has been able to injure me yet."
"Alright then, Sister, be careful."
Seeing Nn Yanran''s confidence, Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit reassured. However, to be safe, she decided to use only fouryers of her strength.
"Junior Sister, I''m ready. Juste at me." Nn Yanran''s face lit up with excitement.
In the past, she had always practiced alone, so having a sp
arring partner today made her feel curious and excited.
"Ripple Palm!"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded, gathered her Dou Qi in her palm, elerated her steps, and unleashed a fierce palm strike directly towards Nn Yanran.
"Junior Sister, impressive palm technique!"
Watching the formidable force emanating from Xiao Yi Xian''s palm, Nn Yanran''s beautiful eyes sparkled.
"Xiao Yi Xian''s palm technique is quite good, isn''t it?"
Subsequently, Nn Yanran, wearing a confident expression, looked at Xiao Yi Xian''s swiftly approaching palm imprint. She calmly raised her own palm, and her inner Dou Qi surged. Then, she forcefully struck out, meeting Xiao Yi Xian''s palm imprint head-on.
However, the moment the two palm imprints collided, Nn Yanran''s face changed drastically.
She sensed an unexpected and tremendous forceing from Xiao Yi Xian''s seemingly gentle palm.
In the next moment, Nn Yanran''s figure was sent flying back as if struck by a heavy hammer. She staggered several steps before finally managing to stabilize herself, looking somewhat dishevelled.
"Ah... Senior Sister Nn, are you okay?"
Seeing Nn Yanran pushed back so far by her own palm strike, Xiao Yi Xian panicked, quickly rushing forward to assist Nn Yanran.
At this moment, Nn Yanran couldn''t care less about feeling a bit breathless. She gazed at Xiao Yi Xian in shock and asked, "Junior Sister, your cultivation?"
Facing Nn Yanran''s incredulous gaze, Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit guilty. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Senior Sister Nn, a few days ago, I just broke through to the Six-Star Dou Practitioner level."
Xiao Yi Xian was afraid of exposing her identity as a possessor of the Woeful Poison Body, so she decided to conceal her true cultivation level for now.
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian''s soft voice, Nn Yanran''s eyes became somewhat vacant.
