Dashing Student-Chapter 1156: Lovers Reunited

Chen Nan stepped onto Zhu Sheng’s chest, immense mana infusing into the Void Breaking Sword’s wound, instantly piercing into Zhu Sheng’s body, striking fiercely at the Golden Core.

Still not recovered from the soul’s intense pain, Zhu Sheng heard a cracking sound, and the Golden Core, where all his cultivation was condensed, shattered instantly.

"No..."

Zhu Sheng’s eyes widened, blood gushed from his mouth, and he fainted, completely reduced to a cripple.

Tan Zhuo and Yang Jun stood petrified, staring blankly at everything happening.

They couldn’t imagine someone daring to infiltrate Yuantian Sect, to even attack three of their true disciples, and successfully so!

This kind of ruthless villain was unheard of!

"Hehe, you’ll have to suffer for a few days now."

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, chuckled, took three ropes from his Storage Belt, and swiftly tied up Zhu Sheng and the others, even gagged their mouths with smelly socks.

Devoid of cultivation and severely wounded, they had no strength to resist. Despair filled their hearts for they all knew Chen Nan refrained from killing them only to avoid alerting Master Xuanming.

But ultimately, they would still die!

Chen Nan picked up the three of them, dragging them like dead dogs to the place where he set up an array, throwing them onto the ground.

Having killed Master Xuanming’s three disciples, he could have escaped right away, but Chen Nan couldn’t bear leaving behind those few rare Spiritual Medicines in the Yuantian Sect’s Spirit Plant Garden.

If refined into Elixir Pills, they could even accelerate the cultivation progress of the "Dragon Elephant Form". The temptation was too great, and he also wanted to meet Nie Xiaoyu.

Chen Nan turned and left, transforming back into the appearance of "Chen San" on the way, quickly returning to the servant disciples’ residence.

The next day, at the Spirit Plant Garden. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Spirit Plant Garden is overseen by one Steward and several disciples, but since the servant disciples arrived, these disciples became more lazy, handing all the work to the servants.

This gave Chen Nan an opportunity, and when no one noticed, a powerful suction emanated from his sleeve, instantly absorbing a Spirit Plant.

All of this happened silently, no one noticed that a precious Spirit Plant had simply disappeared.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzhu arrived at Nie Xiaoyu’s location.

Being the sect’s prodigy, possessing the Heavenly Spirit Root, Nie Xiaoyu’s residence was protected by three major arrays, with several Elders hidden in secret for protection.

If such a prodigy were to face trouble, it would be a great loss to the sect.

Lin Qingzhu stood before the array, her mind somewhat wavering, thinking if one day she could receive such cultivation from the sect...

"Lin Qingzhu is here to pay respects to Senior Sister Nie and requests an audience."

Her voice reached deep into the array, causing Nie Xiaoyu, who was cultivating, to open her eyes suddenly, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Though she stayed on the mountain to cultivate, she knew of the happenings within the sect, especially about Lin Qingzhu, rumored to be Chen Nan’s confidante, which naturally caught her attention.

"Why is she looking for me? No one should know about my relationship with Chen Nan."

Her acquaintance with Chen Nan was only known to the Third Elder, Su Qingyue. She trusted Su Qingyue wouldn’t tell anyone.

Nevertheless, she decided to meet her and see for herself, thus she used a hand seal to slowly open a gate in the array at the mountain’s waist.

Lin Qingzhu was delighted, not expecting Nie Xiaoyu to actually agree to see her. Previously when Chen Nan asked her to approach Nie Xiaoyu, she hadn’t believed it.

When she saw Nie Xiaoyu, a sense of inferiority arose within her. The woman before her wasn’t only a beauty on the Red Face List but also a prodigy of the sect.

In comparison, she felt lacking.

But unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoyu did not display an aloof demeanor, rather approached lovingly, took Lin Qingzhu’s hand, and gently smiled, "Junior Sister Lin, do you need something finding me?"

"Yes..." Lin Qingzhu was quite astounded, wasn’t Nie Xiaoyu supposed to be an ice mountain beauty? But now it turns out she wasn’t. She quickly added, "Someone wants to meet you."

Nie Xiaoyu, considering the rumors between Lin Qingzhu and Chen Nan, quickly comprehended who wished to meet her and felt exceedingly delighted, "It’s him, he has returned, hasn’t he?"

"Yes, he misses you." Lin Qingzhu’s face also showed joy, though her heart felt slightly bitter.

From the looks of it, Nie Xiaoyu and Chen Nan were long acquainted and shared deep feelings; compared to Nie Xiaoyu, there was no comparison. Even when she and Chen Nan had been intimate, it was under the influence of poison.

They seemed entirely incomparable.

"Ultimately, I’m just a passerby; Senior Brother Chen and Nie Xiaoyu are truly destined for each other..." Lin Qingzhu thought inwardly.

But who could have imagined Nie Xiaoyu was so joyful, warmly inviting Lin Qingzhu in to chat, showing none of the air of a prodigy.

Gradually, Lin Qingzhu relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.

"Feel free to come and chat if you’re free. I’m bored cultivating alone, having no friends in the sect." Nie Xiaoyu said.

Lin Qingzhu was very surprised but nodded quickly, feeling somewhat flattered, "Alright, I’ll come often then."

"Don’t worry, Chen Nan isn’t one to be heartless or unjust, he won’t fail you." Nie Xiaoyu smiled as if reading Lin Qingzhu’s thoughts.

Lin Qingzhu’s face reddened instantly, lowering her head feeling slightly awkward; she was still somewhat uneasy discussing such matters of two women serving one husband.

"Um... Senior Sister Nie, I’ll leave now, I’ll bring him over tonight."

After saying this, she left hastily, appearing rather flustered as if she was a mistress caught by the principal wife.

Nie Xiaoyu smiled, gently shook her head, and murmured, "Chen Nan, you’ve made a good girl completely fall for you..."

A day quickly passed, and when the stars shone on a moonlit night, Lin Qingzhu brought Chen Nan to Nie Xiaoyu’s residence.

"Senior Brother Chen, you may go inside, I’ll wait outside." Lin Qingzhu said shyly, lowering her head.

"Alright." Chen Nan nodded, then walked into the array.

The two Elders hidden in the shadows wondered why a servant disciple was brought over.

"Is there some work to be done?"

"Who knows, no need to concern, Nie Xiaoyu can do anything."

The two Elders exchanged a few thoughts, then ignored it, as the sect’s tolerance for prodigies was quite high.

Within the array, Chen Nan finally met Nie Xiaoyu. Since the last time in the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, he had been fleeing, having no chance to meet.

Nie Xiaoyu raised a probing isolation array in the room, intently gazing at Chen Nan, her eyes filled with tenderness almost overflowing, yet her first words shocked Chen Nan.

"Am I inferior to Lin Qingzhu? Why did you seek her but not me?"
