I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 133: Who is the Heart? Sect Mission (Six Thousand)

Faced with Li Xiaonuan's threat, everyone did not feel scared, but instead found it quite cute.

"Senior Sister Nuan, why are you blushing? Did we get it right? Haha..."

"Senior Sister Nuan, I've seen you twice recently. Don't you need to practice?"

"Who exactly is this Yuanyang Mountain Elder? I don't have any impression of him. It seems I rarely see him."

"Senior Sister Nuan, can you tell us in private who Senior Sister Wen likes? We promise not to tell anyone."

Everyone joked.

Of course, no one would really think that Li Xiaonuan and Lai Yang had any ambiguous relationship.

Judging from the way the two of them get along, they are more like kind elders and younger generations rather than Taoist companions.

Li Xiaonuan is very popular in the Wenxian Sect, which is completely different from Li Xiaowen, who gives people a cold and aloof feeling.

"My sister is going to be in seclusion for a while recently, and I won't be able to see her. She hasn't told me about this, so I don't know either." Li Xiaonuan turned to look at everyone, shook her head gently, and began to explain.

"Don't you guys often hang out together? Senior Sister Wen doesn't usually do anything out of the ordinary."

"Yes, for example, when she sees certain people, she will subconsciously stare at them."

"It's really hard for me to imagine that Senior Sister Wen would do something like that."

Everyone was talking at once, and more and more people were gathering.

At this moment, Lai Yang suddenly interrupted at an inopportune moment: "I need to remind you that gossip time also counts as spirit stones."

"What the hell!?" Upon hearing this, the disciples who came to Yuanyang Mountain to practice fire-attributed skills were all shocked and hurried back to practice.

You can eat melons, but you can't waste spirit stones. They need at least ten spirit stones to practice in Yuanyang Mountain for an hour.

"Seeing that you are doing so well in the Askxian Sect, I feel relieved." Lai Yang turned to look at Li Xiaonuan and smiled faintly.

"Hmm? What do you mean, sir? Eat it?" Li Xiaonuan tilted his head in confusion.

"So it means that you are popular and Xiao Wen has gone into seclusion to cultivate?" Lai Yang changed the subject.

Li Xiaonuan nodded and explained, "Well, my sister is about to break through the sixth realm."

"Where's Chu Xiao?"

"Junior Brother Chu has been practicing spearmanship recently."

"So, in the end, you're the one being lazy. If you don't practice well, you'll be left further and further behind by them."

"I have also been practicing very hard. I have already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. If you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to achieve the Dao." Li Xiaonuan said seriously.

Lai Yang smiled faintly and said in a clear voice: "Indeed, your talent is no worse than your sister's."

Gradually, time flies by, and years flow away quietly like sand in an hourglass.

Two years later, Li Xiaowen broke through the heart tribulation of Hedao and achieved the sixth realm of Taoism. The powerful movement immediately attracted the attention of Lan Qingxian.

Sensing the movement in the mountains behind the Immortal Peak, Lan Qingxian instantly appeared at Li Xiaowen's retreat.

At this time, Li Xiaowen had successfully come out of seclusion. His vast and majestic aura seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth. With a wave of his hand, he could easily gather the water element energy between heaven and earth and use it for himself.

"Xiao Wen, congratulations, you have achieved the Dao." Lan Qingxian's eyes showed a look of relief.

"Thank you, Master." Li Xiaowen bowed respectfully to Lan Qingxian.

"Although you have broken through the Sixth Realm, do not become complacent. You still need to consolidate your cultivation. There is still a long way to go."

Lan Qingxian nodded and casually made a suggestion.

"Disciple, I understand." Li Xiaowen nodded with a firm look on his face.

Li Xiaowen always gave her peace of mind, so Lan Qingxian didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Li Xiaowen watched Lan Qingxian's departing back, hesitated for a moment, looked in the direction of Yuanyang Mountain, and flew away.

I haven't seen you for two years. I wonder how he is doing.

Li Xiaowen recalled the scene when he experienced the heart tribulation of Hedao, and couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.

Soon, Li Xiaowen appeared near Yuanyang Mountain. She released a powerful spiritual sense to search for the person she was thinking of.

After a while, Li Xiaowen found Lai Yang's leisurely figure in a mansion.

In addition to Lai Yang, Li Xiaowen also found Li Xiaonuan practicing quietly beside him, and the picture of the two getting along was very harmonious.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaowen couldn't help but be stunned.

She subconsciously recalled the scene in the Hedao Heart Tribulation where her husband and his sister Xiaonuan became Taoist partners and then abandoned her, and she suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Li Xiaowen entered Lai Yang's yard with a cold expression on his face, like a high mountain flower blooming in the world of immortal cultivation.

Lai Yang sensed a familiar breath when Li Xiaowen appeared nearby.

Seeing Li Xiaowen walk in, Lai Yang put on a smile on his face and asked softly, "You've come out of seclusion. Have you successfully broken through the sixth realm?"

Li Xiaowen nodded silently, seeming a little nervous.

"Congratulations, you will be a powerful person in the Hedao realm in the future. Your cultivation level should surpass mine in the near future, hehe." Lai Yang showed a happy smile.

Lai Yang's current spiritual realm has entered the fourth level of the sixth realm. Although he has an advantage in fighting with mixed spiritual roots in the same realm, the difficulty of subsequent breakthroughs is increasing, and the cultivation resources required are enormous.

Lai Yang has already consumed a small portion of the resources looted in the previous battle. He will continue to practice slowly and accumulate some physical strength. It is still early for him to break through and overcome the tribulation.

Li Xiaowen remained silent. He turned to look at Xiaonuan who was in a state of cultivation and couldn't help asking, "Why is Xiaonuan here?"

"You've gone into seclusion to achieve a breakthrough, and Chu Xiao has been immersed in cultivation every day. He was bored so he came to me to relieve his boredom. Plus, the fire-attributed spiritual energy on Yuanyang Mountain is rich, which is perfect for Xiao Nuan's cultivation. So I let her cultivate here well." Lai Yang explained calmly, "Also, there's a fire-attributed earth vein at the foot of Yuanyang Mountain. I can use the formation to harness the power of this earth vein to help Xiao Nuan cleanse her marrow and strengthen her body, helping her to achieve Dao as soon as possible."

"Sir, you are so nice to Xiaonuan." There was a hint of sourness in Li Xiaowen's tone.

Lai Yang didn't hear the hidden meaning in Li Xiaowen's words and smiled faintly, "It's not a good or bad thing. It's just a small favor. Xiaonuan has good qualifications, but she's a little playful and lively. I helped her if I could. If it were you, I would do the same."

Hearing this, Li Xiaowen's expression froze, and his ears turned slightly red: "Then... sir, between me and Xiaonuan, who do you like more?"

Lai Yang pondered for a moment, and Li Xiaowen looked at him nervously with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Do I even need to ask? I like both you and Xiao Nuan, so how can I say which one I like more? You won't be jealous of Xiao Nuan, will you? Haha..." Lai Yang said with a teasing smile.

Li Xiaowen knew that Lai Yang was teasing her on purpose. A trace of shame and anger appeared on her pretty face, and she snorted softly, "Humph, who is jealous of Xiaonuan? Sir, don't talk nonsense. I'm not."

"Okay, I'm just kidding you, come and eat the spiritual fruit."

Li Xiaowen obediently walked forward and sat next to Lai Yang, picked up the Yuanyang fruit in front of him and began to eat it silently in small bites.

The sun was shining brightly today, and the bright sunshine fell on the three of them, reflecting the delicate and beautiful profile. A few strands of black hair hung down by the ears and fell in front of the broad chest. With a casual glance, the perfect collarbone as white as jade appeared in the eyes, which was extremely moving.

Li Xiaowen noticed Lai Yang's gaze, and although he remained expressionless on the surface, his heartbeat in his chest quietly quickened a bit.

Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Xiao Wen, when I first met you, you and your sister were malnourished, with pale faces and skinny bodies, as thin as bamboo poles. Unconsciously, more than 30 years have passed, and you have grown up and become more and more beautiful." Lai Yang said slowly.

Sir, you said I'm pretty? What does sir mean?
Li Xiaowen was slightly startled, then she put down the half-eaten spiritual fruit in her hand. Her beautiful eyes, as charming as autumn water, looked at Lai Yang and said sincerely, "My sister and I are where we are today thanks to the kindness you gave me. I will never forget it."

Lai Yang showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, as if he had accidentally messed up.

I originally wanted to hint at it indirectly, but he is not good at speaking, so he suddenly brought up the topic of saving his life. What should he say next?
"Ahem, that's not what I meant. Let the past be the past. What I want to say is that you and Xiao Nuan have grown up and are both powerful cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. I think there will definitely be many geniuses around you."

"Xiao Wen, I understand what you mean. You want me to cultivate well and not be too ambitious. There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation. My cultivation level is nothing."

"No, no, no. What I want to say is, among so many outstanding people, is there anyone who attracts you and wants to become a Taoist partner with them?" Lai Yang simply laid his cards on the table and asked.

Lai Yang really wanted to know which pig in the world of immortal cultivation had stolen the cabbages from his house.

Li Xiaowen was stunned, and a blush instantly appeared on her beautiful face: "Why do you ask that, sir?"

"I watched the fight between Chu Xiao and Fang Yi earlier. Besides, the rumors about you are so widespread that everyone in the Immortal Sect knows about it. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't help but know about it."

"Don't worry, just tell me boldly. I promise I won't tell anyone else a word."

"So, which sect are you attracted to? Is it from the Immortal Sect or another sect? What are their qualifications and cultivation? Do you know their character?"

Lai Yang's eyes showed his enthusiasm for gossip and he asked curiously.

There is no other way. The usual practice is too boring and there are no entertainment activities. It is more interesting to listen to gossip.

What's more, this matter is related to Li Xiaowen, and she admitted it herself, so he would naturally care more about it than other messy gossip.

Hearing this, Li Xiaowen remained silent, lowered her head in shame, and her snow-white ears and neck turned red.

Don't be fooled by her usual cold and aloof appearance. When it comes to Taoist partners, she has no experience at all, so it's natural for her to feel shy.

Seeing this, Lai Yang did not continue to ask questions. He knew that asking in this way would not get any results, so he chose to change the subject directly.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I won't force you."

"How did you get to know Fang Yi? Honestly, I think he's a pretty good guy. Although he can be a bit overbearing, he keeps his promises. And I can tell he genuinely likes you, otherwise he wouldn't have used his power to bully you."

Lai Yang made no secret of his admiration for Fang Yi in his words.

Lai Yang had heard of many people who had impulsively gotten together after being goaded into doing so, but most of those relationships ended badly, with only a few remaining together. Fang Yi's willingness to offend so many people at the scene in order to protect Li Xiaowen proved that he was indeed a good person.

"Fang Yi is a good man, but I don't have any feelings for him. I've explained this to him many times, but he just won't accept it." Li Xiaowen looked up firmly at Lai Yang's face and said seriously, "Sir, you have to believe me. I really don't like anyone else."

Lai Yang was stunned. He saw a trace of grievance and sadness in Li Xiaowen's eyes, and suddenly panicked.

He just wanted to eat some melon, but he didn't want to make Li Xiaowen cry.

If other people from the Wenxian Sect saw him making Li Xiaowen cry, given Li Xiaowen's popularity in the Wenxian Sect, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths.

"Of course I believe you. Feelings can't be forced. If you don't like it, then don't like it. I won't say anything about it."

Lai Yang quickly tried to comfort Li Xiaowen, then thought for a moment and said, "So, you deliberately lied to them back then. You didn't actually have a Taoist partner in mind, right? The rumors were so widespread inside and outside the Wenxian Sect that I almost believed them. Damn those rumors, they're really harmful."

As he said that, Lai Yang sighed.

The corner of Li Xiaowen's eye fell on Li Xiaonuan who was concentrating on practicing beside her. Her mind couldn't help but recall the scene when she was overcoming the Dao Heart Tribulation, and she suddenly felt confused for a moment.

She suddenly realized that she had fallen far behind her sister without realizing it.

Compared to her lively and cute sister who has been clinging to her husband since she was a child, she has almost no advantage.

Even if Lai Yang didn't say it, Li Xiaowen knew that compared to her cold self, her younger sister Xiao Nuan was definitely more lovable and worth liking.

The Heart Tribulation of the Dao will transform into the thing that a person fears most in his heart, in order to shake the other person's heart of the Dao.

The mental tribulation of the Tao does not come out of nothing, but is something that actually happened or may happen. Only by breaking through the mental tribulation can one achieve the Tao.

Although Li Xiaowen finally succeeded in breaking the mental tribulation, he did not completely get out of it and was still affected by some factors of the mental tribulation.

Li Xiaowen felt her mind was in a mess. She was suddenly very afraid of losing and mustered up her courage.

"I didn't lie to them. I do have someone I like."

"He saved me and gave my sister and I hope to survive. He is the salvation of my life and my light."

"Besides him, there is no room in my heart for anyone else, so I won't fall in love with anyone else."

Li Xiaowen's pretty face flushed red as she stood up and shouted excitedly, "Sir, I...I like you. I want to be your Taoist partner!"

In an instant, Lai Yang was stunned and looked shocked.

What the hell is going on? He ended up eating the melon on himself?

The person Li Xiaowen truly loves is actually him! ?
The moment the words came out of her mouth, Li Xiaowen's eyes suddenly cleared up. What did she just say?!

She had always kept this feeling hidden deep within her heart and had never told anyone about it, not even her closest sister Li Xiaonuan.

Because she was afraid that once some words were spoken, they would cause irreversible consequences.

As long as she can see her husband, be with him, and occasionally receive his praise and touch, she feels very satisfied.

However, the mental tribulation of breaking through the Hedao completely disrupted her state of mind, causing her to act irrationally on impulse.

Everything that was built with great effort may be destroyed in an instant.

However, before Li Xiaowen could react, a shocked voice suddenly rang out in their ears: "Sister, so the person you've always wanted to be your Taoist partner is actually Mr.?"

As luck would have it, Li Xiaonuan woke up at this critical moment, her mouth open in surprise.

Lai Yang felt extremely embarrassed and had a strong sense of social death.

The grass is so lush. There’s no hole in the ground. I really want to hide in one.

"Xiao Nuan, you heard everything." Li Xiaowen looked at Li Xiaonuan with a complicated expression, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Sister, you don't like Fang Yi because the person you like is Mr., right?"

Faced with Li Xiaonuan's question, Li Xiaowen didn't know how to answer.

Things had come to this point, and there was no room for regret. Li Xiaowen had the idea of ​​breaking the jar and nodded vigorously, "Yes."

"That's great. My sister likes you, I like you, and I like my sister too. My sister wants to be your Taoist partner, and I want to be your Taoist partner too. Then, can the three of us be together forever?" Li Xiaonuan said with a happy smile.

puff!
Damn, what a lewd word.

"Actually, Xiao Nuan has been struggling with this. If my sister really falls in love with someone else, but I don't like her, and she leaves with that person, I'll be very sad. It's great that the person my sister likes is my husband. That way, the three of us won't have to separate."

"But if we become Master's Dao companions, then Junior Brother Chu will have to call us Senior Sister or Master's Wife?"

Chu Xiao: A-choo!
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, so Lai Yang quickly interrupted Li Xiaonuan.

I really don't know if she really doesn't understand, or if she is a little bit cunning in her innocence.

However, after she made such a fuss, the awkward and tense situation was indeed eased a lot.

"Ahem, Xiaonuan, don't talk nonsense." Lai Yang glanced at Li Xiaonuan and scolded softly.

"You are talking nonsense. I am serious. I have seen many people in Wenxian Sect have more than one Taoist partner. What's wrong with my sister and I becoming your Taoist partners? Could it be that you dislike Xiaonuan and my sister and think we are not worthy of being your Taoist partners?" Li Xiaonuan asked sharply.

"Of course not, why would I think that?" Lai Yang subconsciously denied it.

Li Xiaonuan smiled, ran to Li Xiaowen's side, took her arm, and said in a soft voice, "Sister, the master has agreed. What do you think?"

Li Xiaowen stared at Li Xiaonuan blankly, and saw that her bright and charming eyes were filled with sincere emotions, which made it hard to refuse.

"Ah."

At this moment, the woman's blushing cheeks are better than thousands of intoxicating love words.

"Are you serious?" Lai Yang asked in disbelief.

Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan didn't say anything. They looked at each other and nodded seriously.

Then, Li Xiaowen stepped forward, her beautiful face close at hand, and said affectionately:

"Sir, do you still remember? From the night I was about to give myself to you, but you chose to reject me and even advised me to live more for myself, my heart has already belonged to you. Sir, please let Xiao Wen be your Taoist companion."

Afterwards, Lai Yang felt the other person's awkward yet serious kiss on his lips, and his head felt a little dizzy.

Who could refuse this?
It's over now, I have completely lost myself.

Li Xiaonuan blushed, and subconsciously put her hands in front of her face, quietly spreading her fingers, and murmured: "Sister... you are so bold..."

After a long time, the two separated.

Lai Yang waved his hand and set up a powerful space restriction around him to prevent others from approaching or spying on the place.

Lai Yang reached out and picked up Li Xiaowen, who was lying limp in his arms like a puddle of water, in a princess hug, then turned and walked into the house.

Then the two began to practice the method of dual cultivation.

……

After it was over, Lai Yang passed the same dual cultivation method to Li Xiaonuan, and everything was settled.

……

In this way, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan usually returned to the Immortal Peak to practice, but they would often go to Yuanyang Mountain alone or in pairs to find Lai Yang to discuss the method of dual cultivation. The three of them made rapid progress in their realm.

However, considering various reasons, they have no plans to announce the relationship between the three Taoist partners to the public for the time being.

Of course, Lai Yang did not deliberately hide it.

Even if the people of Wenxian Sect find out one day, he won't care. He is a man who dares to act and take responsibility.

With his current strength, he could fight for his life without using the Tianyuan Burning Life Skill.

Unless the Seventh Realm Elder of the Wenxian Sect takes action to bully the weak, no one can be his opponent, and he is not afraid of anyone.

Not long after, a familiar powerful aura suddenly appeared in Yuanyang Mountain.

Lai Yang was startled and suddenly became nervous.

Because the person who came was not Xiao Wen or Xiao Nuan, but their master - Lan Qingxian!

And it seems that they are here with bad intentions, as if they are here to call for punishment. Could it be that they have been exposed?

It is very likely that it is. Lan Qingxian is a powerful person at the peak of the Tribulation Realm. How could she not see that Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan's Yuan Yin bodies were broken?

"What is coming will eventually come." Lai Yang made up his mind and immediately left the room and walked into the yard.

Lan Qingxian was already standing in the courtyard, wearing a red dress and her long hair fluttering in the wind. Her temperament was transcendent and untainted by dust.

Lai Yang stepped forward, bowed, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Master, are you here to give me some instructions?"

"There's a problem with the Fusheng Dynasty, a subsidiary force under the Wenxian Sect. You take Xiao Wen, Xiao Nuan, and Chu Xiao with you to solve it. It'll be a good training. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. You'll need to prepare for the next two days." After saying that, Lan Qingxian stepped into the void and disappeared without saying a single extra word.

Lai Yang looked at the direction where Lan Qingxian disappeared with a puzzled look on his face.

So she came here just to ask her personally to take Xiao Wen, Xiao Nuan, Chu Xiao and the others on a sect mission?

I thought Lan Qingxian would definitely make things difficult for him.

Is he judging others by his own standards?
