261. Heartless

"You," Xie Weixing hesitated, then directly used the words Nie Zhao had just used to scold Nie Er, "How old are you? In your twenties? Almost thirty, Shen Chunri, all you think about is food."

"I'm only seventeen years old," Shen Chunri pouted.

Xie Weixing sneered.

Awesome, and some of them still manage to stay young.

[This is true, the little snake's belly is bulging from eating so much!]

[That's impressive for someone with such a small frame to eat like that!]

[Our little snake is growing... (feeling guilty emoji)]

[I almost didn't scroll through this observation room]

"Do you still want to rest?" Xie Weixing turned to look at Tan Suiting, his voice low. "If you want to rest, I'll go with them to the restaurant to get you some food to go. What would you like to eat?"

Tan Suiting paused for a moment: "I'm not sleepy anymore, I'm hungry."

"See? I told you everyone was hungry," Shen Chunri clapped his hands. "Shall we go? Young Master Yu has already booked a private room at the restaurant. Do you know how hard it is to book? Oh, of course, it's not as hard as Wushan Tower. At least our young master only paid spirit stones this time, and hasn't gone as far as using his body."

Tan Suiting chuckled, his expression indifferent, with a hint of mockery: "Don't mention that Wushan Gathering again."

Seeing Nie Shiyun get beaten up, Yu Xintang felt incredibly refreshed. Thinking that finally someone could teach this idiot a lesson, she crossed her arms and came over sarcastically, "Oh, just packing it up won't do. Your brother has to chew it up and feed it to our Crown Prince while you're still asleep."

Xie Weixing's smile remained unchanged: "I've noticed you have a lot of complaints about the two of us, Xiaoyu."

Yu Xintang pressed her fan to her lips and glanced at him from head to toe: "It's not you guys, it's you. From the moment you blocked the bathroom door to watch Xiaolong take a bath, I knew you weren't a good lion."

"Then you're absolutely right," Xie Weixing said without any qualms, putting his arm around Tan Suiting's shoulder and laughing. His expression was nonchalant, like a spoiled little tyrant. "If you babble again, I'll take Tan Suiting and commit suicide to make your parents die."

Yu Xintang:?

After all, Xie Weixing often elevated his own seniority, calling them his son and daughter. He even sang "Little Cabbage" with Shen Chunri when he was caught stealing food from the small kitchen by Feng Jilan and was about to be beaten to death by Fengyun Sword. While singing, he cried and said that his father and son could not live. Even eating osmanthus cake would get them beaten. He hoped that his master would not let him off if he was alive.

But Yu Xintang subconsciously felt that something was not right.

parents.

The father was Xie Weixing.

What is the mother?

……

Yu Xintang dared not think about it.

When the group left, Nie Zhao's room had fallen silent, with only a few hoarse, fragmented commands remaining, seemingly instructing Nie Shiyun to pack his things.

"What do you think," Shen Chunri said thoughtfully, looking at the closed door, "is why she feels that her senior sister doesn't love her?"

Her senior's concern for her was obvious.

If anyone else had treated her like that, they would have been burned to a crisp and thrown into the small kitchen stove to roast sweet potatoes.

Yu Xintang looked up, as if she wanted to say something, but fell silent after a long while.

"Many people are obsessed with finding a reason," Xie Weixing said calmly, his fingertips gently stroking Tan Suiting's hair on his shoulder, "a reason that can be entrusted, relied upon, blamed, and redeemed."

"Nie Zhao didn't love her enough, and that's the reason Nie Shiyun found to dilute her pain."

Five sects emerged victorious from the Spirit Realm Grand Competition. These are the five major sects of the Spirit Realm; their exact ranking will be determined after the sect competition concludes.

The Tianxuan Sect has lost its fighting strength due to the absence of Nie Shiyun. Although they qualified, they are basically out of the running for rankings. The rest remain the same.

The Dao Seeking Sect is the oldest and most powerful sect in the Spirit Realm.

The Free and Unfettered Sect made it into the top three in the previous competition, but narrowly lost to the Cloud Realm Sect.

Zixiao Palace, led by Yun Yiwei and Lin Fengque, is advancing rapidly and enjoying great popularity.

That leaves Feng Hua Sect.

Widely recognized as the strongest dark horse in this year's sect competition, they never even fielded their full force in a single match, with a maximum of only three members participating, demonstrating their arrogance.

Since this year's sect competition is being held at the Dao Asking Sect, sects that have already settled in do not need to travel. Within three days, five teams each from the Demon Realm and the Cloud Realm will arrive at the main city of Jingzhou.

The disciples of the Daoist Sect were all living on their own territory. Elder Ning Xiang was right in front of them, and Duan Qitian was just a few steps up the mountain. They were incredibly well-behaved, cultivating and meditating every morning, living a healthy life, and eating regularly.

This makes the Feng Hua Sect, located just one floor away, seem even more like heartless fools.

Nie Zhao escorted Nie Shiyun back to Nanchuan. None of the remaining four disciples and one elder were able to get up before noon.

Lin Qiaoyu and the others had already started eating lunch when Xie Weixing, the most diligent person in the sect, finally woke up.

The two looked at each other across the inn's railing.

Lin Qiaoyu was shocked: "Did you just wake up?"

Xie Weixing rubbed his neck: "Ah."

I think I was sleeping in the wrong position last night, because it hurts a bit.

Tsk, even gods get stiff necks.

I never said that rational discussion of any character is forbidden (all of Li Tao's posts without arguments or bickering are still up). Only admins who incite conflict, attack, or argue delete posts and accuse me of favoritism, taking sides, or misinterpreting the author's intentions. Is that your interest? I love supporting characters more than main characters, so how can it be considered a supporting character attacking or nitpicking the main characters? I've deleted quite a few posts myself. Originally, this matter was over and there would be no follow-up, and Yunmei wouldn't reappear. The sisters' ending was OE. What's the point of having to argue and prove yourself right by attacking others? Let's all enjoy reading!
