Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

The banquet was drawing to a close, and the delicious food had been almost entirely enjoyed. (It was inappropriate to drink alcohol in front of the Tai Xuan Hall; this was roughly the atmosphere.)

The male disciple sitting next to Ji Nanbei was stunned when he saw the empty plate in front of Ji Nanbei, which even reflected his image.

"Was the food for Junior Sister Xiao's table not all served?"

Ultimately, he came to this conclusion.

Ji Nanbei waved his hand.

"It's alright."

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but chuckle softly in her mind.

Soon, a waiter came forward to replace the plates, but the person in charge of serving Ji Nanbei's table was also stunned when he saw the table full of empty plates.

Ok?

Did I forget something when I served the food?

Although puzzled, I didn't ask any further questions.

After breakfast, Jian Qingcheng turned his gaze to Ji Nanbei.

"Well, what's your thought about the matter I mentioned to you yesterday?"

Ji Nanbei was not surprised.

Because on the way here, Xiao Jingxi had already told him the whole story about this so-called "thing".

After he left yesterday, Xiao Jingxi was summoned by his master and given a task.

The matter is simple: Jian Qingcheng hopes that Xiao Jingxi, as the representative of the younger generation of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, will lead a team down the mountain for a tour and visit the other two sects and three factions along the way.

To put it simply, it's about taking people out for a stroll, chatting and enjoying tea with friends from the same top-tier schools of thought.

There might be some minor challenges along the way, but they are mostly minor and easy for Xiao Jingxi to overcome.

It's actually a pretty good job.

At the same time, Jian Qingcheng, Xiao Jingxi's master, also wanted to take this opportunity to let his disciple interact more with his peers.

After all, his own disciple had a rather peculiar temperament.

I've never heard of her being close to any of her disciples, or even having any friends.

In addition, it seems that the younger generation of cultivators will soon hold a large gathering, during which there will be plenty of sparring and competition.

Xiao Jingxi's title of "Little Sword Immortal," along with the title of "Number One Young Person of the Righteous Path," was earned during the last gathering.

Sending Xiao Jingxi out for a walk is also a way of making some preparations for this.

Speaking of fighting...

Ji Nanbei remembered that he seemed to be participating in some kind of competition in a month.

However, Ji Nanbei did not connect the two things, after all, he was in the demonic path, and the time was completely out of sync.

That being said, when Xiao Jingxi heard his master mention this matter yesterday, he originally intended to refuse directly.

she……

Yes, I have absolutely no desire to go out or move around, and I'd rather not interact with people from other sects.

However, his master was quite adamant, still feeling that Xiao Jingxi should go out and see the world, instead of always staying cooped up in the sect.

There's another reason...

That was Ji Nanbei.

The appearance of Ji Nanbei also gave rise to some different thoughts in Xiao Jingxi.

After learning about this, Ji Nanbei also asked Xiao Jingxi for her opinion.

Xiao Jingxi remained silent for a long time before asking Ji Nanbei a question:

"Can you come with me?"

Ji Nanbei agreed without hesitation.

He definitely had to come to Xiao Jingxi's place to cultivate, and Ji Nanbei also wanted to see what the outside world was like.

The main body is confined to the deep mountains, while Xiao Jingxi is usually within the sect, making it inconvenient for either to move around freely.

Since we have this opportunity, it's good to go out and see the world.

then……

Then the system task panel popped up.

[Task triggered. Please choose one of the following three options to respond.]

Option 1: Are you trying to teach me how to do things? What are you yelling about! It's not like we don't have high-level cultivators leading the team! (Reward: 500,000 Demonic Path Points, Grade 7 cultivation technique "Great Annihilation Palm".)

Option Two: Those outside are nothing but a rabble; what is there to talk about? I, Xiao Jingxi, alone am enough to suppress them all! (Reward: 100,000 Demonic Path Points, a Grade 5 Spiritual Treasure, "The Mirror of Love and Lust.")

Option 3: This disciple will obey Master's instructions. (Reward: 10,000 Demonic Path Points, one Grade 4 Storage Ring.)

Ji Nanbei was speechless. The first two items were practically flirting with death.

However, to Ji Nanbei's slight surprise, the second reward this time seemed to be quite legitimate.

Just as this thought crossed my mind, the item description popped up on the system panel.

The Mirror of Love and Lust: A secret treasure passed down by the Hehuan Sect.

Description: Gathering the essence of heaven and earth, and absorbing the spiritual energy of the sun and moon. It forms its own spiritual array. Those who enter the array are drawn in by it, their yin and yang clashing, heavenly thunder igniting earthly fire, dry tinder meeting raging flames. (Further content cannot be displayed.)

Ha, I thought you were finally being serious for once, but it seems I was overthinking it!

Ji Nanbei stood up and respectfully replied:

"Disciple will obey Master's instructions."

[Gained 10,000 Demonic Path Points; the storage ring has been stored in the system space.]

Seeing that his disciple had agreed, Jian Qingcheng nodded, looking pleased.

He was initially worried that his apprentice would refuse and was pondering how to persuade him, since he knew that his apprentice had a special personality.

To my surprise, they agreed immediately.

"Very well then. You, and Wang Tianyun too..."

At this point, Jian Qingcheng paused, as if considering the candidate.

At this moment, someone in Ji Nanbei's group stood up.

She was a cute girl who wasn't very tall and had slightly chubby cheeks.

"Sect Master, this disciple wishes to go along. I humbly request your permission."

Jian Qingcheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"Alright, then we'll add you, Bai Jie. You three true disciples, along with some reliable inner disciples, will be accompanied by an elder or a respected elder on this trip."

Upon seeing Jian Qingcheng's agreement, the girl named Bai Jie immediately showed joy.

Immediately afterwards, the girl turned her gaze to Ji Nanbei, her gaze burning and direct, carrying a hint of provocation.

Ji Nanbei: ? ? ?

What's wrong with this child?

Then, the man next to Ji Nanbei also stood up.

Clearly, he was Wang Tianyun, the true disciple who was slightly older than Xiao Jingxi, but whose strength was inferior to Xiao Jingxi's.

As a time traveler, Ji Nanbei understood this routine at a glance.

Most likely, the male disciple was in love with Xiao Jingxi, while the girl was in love with the man, hence her hostility towards Xiao Jingxi.

That's why the girl volunteered to go with them.

Yes, it can be said to be a classic scene.

Ji Nanbei was quite familiar with him.

but……

It doesn't matter.

In any case, they pose no threat; it's just childish thinking. Besides, they can't compare to Xiao Jingxi in terms of strength or status.

If the other party behaves themselves, that's fine; but if they really jump out and cause trouble...

Ji Nanbei was confident he could teach them a lesson in no time.

The departure time is set for fifteen days from now, which is half a month from now.

Ji Nanbei estimated that Xiao Jingxi's situation should be stable by then, which would also be close to the day when the main body would participate in the competition.

There is still plenty of time.

After leaving Tai Xuan Hall, Ji Nanbei returned to the small courtyard where Xiao Jingxi lived.

With little time left, Ji Nanbei stopped cultivating. In any case, Xiao Jingxi's body had already absorbed most of the spiritual food she had eaten for breakfast.

This can be considered a gain in cultivation, even more so than Ji Nanbei's six hours of arduous cultivation.

Stepping into the backyard, I found myself back in this familiar meadow.

It must be said that Xiao Jingxi's backyard scenery is indeed pleasant, making one feel calm and peaceful.

Sitting on the grass, gazing at the setting sun on the horizon, the scene was like a tranquil painting.

Suddenly, Ji Nanbei spoke up and asked:

"By the way, do you usually take baths? Or do you have some kind of cleansing technique that can cleanse you automatically?"

Xiao Jingxi: ? ? ?
