All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 708 - 387: Nan Ji’s Nirvana, Awakening!_2

Is she a formidable person from Elder Su's era?

Perceiving their thoughts, Ji Nanjue spoke calmly, "There's no need to be tense. I am Su Bei's spouse, and I'm just asking about his whereabouts. Just tell me everything you know."

"..."

Elder Su's spouse!?

The Sword Sect disciples felt their hearts skip a beat, their thoughts instantly thrown into disarray!

What has been happening these past few days? Why do strange things keep occurring one after another? First, Elder Su somehow climbed out of his coffin. Then, several elders from No-Sword Peak grew more distracted by the day, and now they've vanished completely. And now another stunningly beautiful woman suddenly appears, claiming to be Elder Su's spouse? Still, it's a relief she's not an enemy. It seems there aren't many elders left in the Sword Sect right now anyway.

"Um... Esteemed Senior, are you here looking for Elder Su?"

"He... he awakened from the Sword Tomb just a few days ago. Since then, we haven't seen him in the Sword Sect."

"..."

Su Bei isn't in the Sword Sect anymore? But that's not what truly matters. The important thing is that he's still alive in this world.

Ji Nanjue felt the weight on her heart finally begin to lift. She then glanced at the Sword Sect disciples.

"Are you practicing swordsmanship?"

"Elder Xiao drew a circle, and you haven't figured it out?"

His sect's disciples... In a way, aren't they my disciples too?

"Yes, yes!"

"Elder Xiao drew a circle on the ground and said that when Elder Su taught her this cultivation technique back then, she understood it in just half a day!"

The Sword Sect disciples hurriedly nodded, looking at the woman before them with faces full of anticipation, hoping she could offer some guidance.

Ji Nanjue looked at them with an odd expression, then sighed, "Stop trying to figure it out. That Elder Xiao of yours was just scribbling. He barely taught her anything at all. Since fate has brought us together here, consider this your good fortune. Watch carefully; I will only do this once."

With a flick of her hand, the longsword in the lead disciple's scabbard instantly shot out. Then, everyone saw a dazzling streak of sword light flash before their eyes. This strike was incredibly fast, like a fleeting rainbow, carrying an unstoppable momentum. Yet, it was extremely simple, without any ostentatious flourish—just a pure, straightforward thrust.

Ji Nanjue casually tossed the longsword back to the lead disciple and said, "This is Sword One. Like a first encounter, it was the strike your Elder Su favored before he became famous."

She left one thing unsaid. That night, beneath Unrepentant Cliff, the first time she met him, he had used this very strike.

As Sword Sect disciples, how could they not know what Sword One was? They were all ecstatic. Even their gazes towards Ji Nanjue were filled with fervor as they promptly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Elder's Lady, for your instruction!!"

"..."

Ji Nanjue's ears twitched. Hearing herself addressed as "Elder's Lady" made her heart bloom with joy, and an inexplicable smile curled the corners of her lips. She then cleared her throat and said leisurely, "Mm, practice well."

"Yes! Elder's Lady."

"Mm, a bit louder."

"Yes! Elder's Lady!!"

"Mm..."

Ji Nanjue pondered for a moment. Then, as if a thought suddenly struck her, she asked, "How is the Eastern Country faring now?"

The Eastern Country?

The Sword Sect disciples looked at her with some confusion and replied, "Elder's Lady, are you referring to Northern Border Pass? That fortress does indeed fly the flag of the Eastern Country. Several hundred years ago, after Emperor Ji Nanjue of the Eastern Kingdom passed away, the Eastern Country fragmented. It's now divided among several princes, each ruling their own territory. Among them, Ji Tongzhi holds the greatest power... He seems to hold a lasting grudge against Northern Border Pass... He has come calling, causing trouble, countless times. Currently, the Supreme Elder is stationed there, helping Queen Lin guard that territory..."

Ji Nanjue's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she slightly leaned back.

So, they finally rebelled, have they? The debt I owe Lin Jinyu... it's already too much to ever repay...

Her delicate hand tapped lightly. Her gaze deepened as she slowly inhaled, gradually calming the irritation in her heart. After a long, long time, she finally managed to soothe the anger in her chest until no trace remained, and then she sighed deeply.

"I understand. You may go about your duties."

"..."

After speaking, she lightly tapped the air with the tip of her toe, sending out ripples as she flew towards No-Sword Peak.

That was where Su Bei had lived since he was young, a place I've never been to.

The Sword Sect disciples watched her departing figure, smacking their lips and muttering, "As expected of Elder Su. He's barely awakened, and his lover is already rushing to find him..."

"This Senior must have been quite an influential figure back in her day..."

...

Once again, she met the shy sunset, its warmth scorching her cheeks.

Before even reaching No-Sword Peak, she could smell the fragrance of flowers; the bleak autumn wind did nothing to diminish the aroma of peach blossoms blooming out of season.

As she landed, a sea of flowers emerged before her eyes, a world drenched in peachy pink, with trees upon trees adorned with light, cherry-dotted peach blossoms. This neatly planted peach orchard stretched out on both sides, with a broad avenue down the center leading to a tall, profusely blooming peach tree at its end.

There wasn't a soul to be found along the way. Ji Nanjue wove through the peach forest, the wind swirling up a flurry of pollen and falling petals like rain.

"ACHOO..."

"ACHOO..."

Ji Nanjue sneezed repeatedly, covering her nose and mouth, her brow furrowed as she took in the sight.

"Is this the hundred-li peach forest he planted for Dan Wulan?"

She was allergic to peach blossoms, even though she didn't dislike them.

"So, it seems I'm destined not to be able to live here?"

Ji Nanjue laughed mockingly at herself and walked towards a small house.

Did he really grow up here?

She pushed open the bamboo gate and entered the somewhat untidy room. Then, her brow furrowing slightly, Ji Nanjue picked up a bellyband from the ground.

"He's not here? Then who left this here? How indecent. What a shameless woman."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded from behind. Ji Nanjue turned abruptly, her gaze landing on the figure before her in an embroidered peach-pink dress. The newcomer's eyes, brighter than stars, shimmered with light. Her long lashes, with each flutter, seemed to make one's heart beat erratically. Especially that single, perpetually swaying tuft of hair, dancing in the wind.

A vision of beauty that outshone the autumn, with a spirit as free and untamed as the wind!

"Eastern Emperor!!"

"Dan Wu... Wuque!?"

The two women's eyes widened as they stared at each other. The next moment, Dan Wuque, her face alight with joy, rushed forward and embraced Ji Nanjue tightly, nuzzling her cheek against Ji Nanjue's as she choked out, "Nan Ji, is it really you? You're awake too!? That's wonderful, I thought I might never see you again!!"

Ji Nanjue allowed Dan Wuque's soft form to embrace her. Dressed in a simple white ruqun, her own slender figure was extremely graceful. Standing with Dan Wuque, they were nearly the same height.

Ji Nanjue reached out and gently patted Dan Wuque's back, saying softly, "Mm, do you know where Su Bei went? Where is your sister? Where is Dan Wulan?"

Dan Wuque let go of her embrace, biting her thin lips, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. "The Saintess said that Senior Brother Su had awakened and sent me back with a message for him. I've just returned myself and have already searched all over No-Sword Peak, but I haven't seen any sign of him. As for my sister..."

Her voice grew heavy. She let out a quiet sigh and said softly, "It's been such a long time since I've seen my sister, maybe a hundred years, or maybe two hundred? Ever since that day when Yu Hongxiu came to the Sword Sect, and she heard the name of Wilderness, she just disappeared. Nan Ji, do you know where Wilderness is?"

Ji Nanjue's eyebrows rose slightly. Then, with a hint of regret, she patted Dan Wuque's head, glanced around, and said, "Now that he's awake, you'll definitely see your sister. Mm, what about the others on No-Sword Peak? Why aren't they around?"

Dan Wuque cocked her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Are you talking about Xiao Ruoching and the others?"

Ji Nanjue nodded.

"I just asked a Sword Sect disciple. It seems Xiao Ruoching drew a circle on the ground and then went to find Senior Brother Su... As for why Senior Brother Su left the Sword Sect as soon as he awakened, I guess it must be related to you!!"

Dan Wuque spoke with full confidence, "After all, he loves you so much!"

"..."
