Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

Looking at Bai Jie at the door, Ji Nanbei's mind raced.

Why is she here?

Could it be that their trip is about to begin, and they've come here specifically to cause trouble?

That's probably the case.

But Ji Nanbei was still puzzled: how could anyone dare to openly harm Xiao Jingxi within the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect?

Could it be that the title "Little Sword Immortal" is just a fabrication?

In the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, Xiao Jingxi is the most respected, strongest, and most influential figure among the younger generation. Anyone who crosses him will suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, Ji Nanbei stopped worrying.

When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it.

When you have absolute strength, you don't need to worry too much.

However, Ji Nanbei did not realize that Xiao Jingxi's emotions had been somewhat erratic ever since Bai Jie appeared.

"Junior Sister Bai, is something the matter?"

Ji Nanbei spoke, his face still bearing that signature slight smile, his gaze fixed on Bai Jie with a hint of scrutiny.

only--

Something seems off.

Why does this person seem unusually excited instead of showing any fear when I'm staring at them?

Ok?

Is it that I, the little sword immortal, can no longer lift my sword, or are you just too bold?

"Senior sister...you call me Junior Sister Bai?"

Bai Jie lowered her head and spoke softly.

Ji Nanbei was puzzled.

If I don't call you Junior Sister Bai, am I supposed to call you "You Beast"?

It hasn't come to the point of a complete breakdown in relations yet.

"Exactly..."

"Senior sister, can I come in and sit down?"

Before Ji Nanbei could finish speaking, the girl in front of him suddenly leaned closer, her bright eyes staring straight at him.

Ji Nanbei: ? ? ?

Is something wrong with this child?

This way of finding fault is so strange.

Is it...

Ji Nanbei glanced outside the courtyard and saw several disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect walking back and forth in the distance.

Although this is Xiao Jingxi's private courtyard, it is not far from the main road of the sect. If you look in this direction, you can still see what is happening here.

So that's how it is—you plan to feign weakness to lower my guard, lure me into the courtyard where no one can see you, and then seize the opportunity to make your move or set a trap for me?

Hehe, that's interesting. It turns out I, Ji Nanbei, underestimated you. It seems your opponent isn't too bad after all.

It's just a pity that you met my Ji Nanbei!

Ji Nanbei would naturally not fall into such an obvious trap.

"Junior Sister Bai, let's speak here. We are both true disciples of the sect, and cultivation is a busy matter. It would be better to delay it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie looked up at Ji Nanbei, her eyes almost overflowing with light.

"Okay, then, Senior Sister, I'll say it here."

Ji Nanbei sneered inwardly.

Okay, go ahead and tell me.

I want to see what kind of trouble you can cause under everyone's watchful eyes.

You should know that the one who can control everything in the Immortal Sword Sect is me, Little Sword Immortal!

"Senior Sister! I love you! Please become my Daoist partner!"

Bai Jie suddenly shouted loudly, and then opened her arms and pounced straight at Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei: ? ? ? ? ?

Even Ji Nanbei, who had lived two lives and experienced the internet, couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he fully understood what was going on.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see countless gazes converging on this place from afar.

This is... a sign of the company's demise!

Ji Nanbei acted decisively, throwing Bai Jie, who was lunging at him, directly into the courtyard with an over-the-shoulder throw. He then slammed the door shut, rapidly forming hand seals to activate the courtyard's protective array in an instant, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

Their movements were so swift that even the prying eyes couldn't keep up.

All that could be heard was a declaration of love, but when people looked in the direction of the voice, there was no one there.

Ok?

In broad daylight, was I hallucinating?

Although it seemed strange, not many people investigated it further.

After looking around and seeing nothing amiss, everyone dispersed, assuming they had misheard.

Ji Nanbei... was now completely numb.

In the urgency of the situation, I couldn't control my strength, and the over-the-shoulder throw knocked Bai Jie unconscious. She was lying on the ground in the courtyard, her eyes still seeing stars.

There was no way around it; this was Xiao Jingxi's body, and with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, his strength was indeed considerable.

"This guy..."

Ji Nanbei has already figured it out.

This child doesn't actually like Wang Tianyun; he's completely in love with Xiao Jingxi.

So, back in the Tai Xuan Hall, that burning gaze wasn't a provocation at all, but rather a blatant expression of affection.

The reason she wanted to go to other sects was because Xiao Jingxi was going.

The excited look he had just given her at the door, and the way he bowed his head and trembled slightly, were simply because he had called her "Junior Sister Bai" and even smiled at her.

Ji Nanbei didn't need to think about it carefully. If it were the real Xiao Jingxi, she would have mostly ignored this child in the past.

If he's unlucky, this child might not even have the chance to speak to Xiao Jingxi.

After all, Xiao Jingxi is a person with severe social anxiety.

Ji Nanbei sighed softly, rubbing his forehead, and asked irritably:

"Has she... done something similar before?"

He originally wanted to ask, "Have you ever harassed me?", but ultimately chose a more tactful way to phrase it.

"Hmm...it happened once or twice. She was a strange person. Although we were both women, she said she wanted to become my Daoist partners. I didn't know how to deal with her, so I avoided her."

"Then why didn't you remind me?"

"It's a little... hard to say..."

Ji Nanbei felt helpless, which made sense.

Although this world is not as conservative as the ancient world before he traveled there, it has not yet been influenced by certain "open-minded" ideas.

It's understandable that people are reluctant to talk about things like lilies blooming, as it's not something easily accepted and they might be seen as crazy or eccentric.

Ok?

How come your brain circuits suddenly become normal when it comes to things like this?

After silently criticizing her, Ji Nanbei turned her attention back to the "troublemaker" girl who had fainted in the courtyard.

"Why is such a nice young girl acting all 'yellow'?"

"Huh? What does 'yuri' mean?"

"You're still young, don't pry into things in the martial arts world."

"I'm not a child anymore!"

Xiao Jingxi protested.

Ji Nanbei composed himself before walking up to Bai Jie.

He gently shook the unconscious girl, channeling some spiritual energy into her to help her awaken.

Bai Jie slowly opened her eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his admired senior sister right in front of him, seemingly embracing him! (This was not the case.)

"Ah—I have no regrets in this life!"

She screamed and fainted from joy.

Ji Nanbei: ? ? ?

Ji Nanbei thought to himself: Hey! System, can you please stop making things worse?!
