75. I Went There on Purpose
—
Han Xianzi’s Pavilion, the Hall.
“I’ve repeatedly stated three times that when the spirit spring is abundant with spiritual energy and spirit crystals, one must not practice spiritual techniques while soaking. Yet, you deliberately disobeyed, and now the spirit spring is destroyed. Fortunately, it didn’t disturb the elders inside the sect, or else we would all be held accountable. You are all exceptional disciples of the sect, such low-level mistakes should not occur among you.”
Han Xianzi sat in the main seat, angrily reprimanding the three disciples. Late at night, she was conversing with Liu Shuqin in the pavilion when suddenly there was a tremor inside, and the spiritual energy surged continuously. She immediately became alert and went to the spirit spring, only to find it had been destroyed.
Thankfully, the pavilion was equipped with defensive formations and mysterious stones, preventing it from collapsing and causing an uproar.
Reconstructing the spirit spring is no simple matter. Many of the crystals are extremely rare, and the environment filled with spiritual energy also requires the placement of numerous Torrential Spirit Grass to maintain. Now, even this type of spirit grass is gone.
Liu Shuqin stood beside Han Xianzi, powerless to help with the mistake her junior brothers and sisters had made.
Han Xianzi was furious at heart. She had specially created the spirit spring for her disciples to soak in, nourish their bodies, and cultivate their spiritual energy. Moreover, each one of them was a disciple with great potential within the Xuan Yun Sect. Such an incident should not have happened.
Su Kexin and Qin Shili bowed their heads, but Lin Nuo acted as if nothing had happened, without a trace of shame.
Han Xianzi’s gaze turned to Lin Nuo: “Lin Nuo, what is the cause of this?”
“I don’t know, ask those two,” Lin Nuo said, spreading his hands. He wouldn’t take the blame for this. He was just soaking in the spirit bath, doing nothing, when the spirit spring exploded. Thankfully, those two girls had strong defensive abilities, which also protected him. Otherwise, he would be bedridden now, a victim himself.
“What happened, Shili?” Han Xianzi’s gaze shifted to Qin Shili, who slightly raised her head and replied, “I was bathing with junior brother, and then junior sister came to cause trouble, leading to a dispute and then the destruction of the spirit spring.”
“You bathed with Lin Nuo?!”
Han Xianzi was surprised and angry. It was well-known that Lin Nuo had pursued Qin Shili before, but she never expected him to do something so outrageous as to peep on her while she bathed.
She turned to Lin Nuo and said, “Lin Nuo, let me be clear within the sect. Everyone knows you’re pursuing Shili, and as a young man with a fiery heart, it’s natural to yearn for the one you admire. However, as your teacher, I advise you to be a gentleman and follow the bottom line. It’s indecent for you to go to the spirit spring while Shili is bathing, and it could damage your reputation if word gets out.”
Lin Nuo: ???
What are you talking about, what does this have to do with me? I’m just a quietly bathing, handsome male antagonist.
“It was me,” Qin Shili interjected. “Junior brother was bathing, and I went there.”
“You???”
Han Xianzi thought she was hearing things. According to common sense, this was impossible. Qin Shili was proud, aloof, independent, and had previously ignored Lin Nuo’s affections. It was unthinkable that she would enter while Lin Nuo was bathing.
“Is there some misunderstanding? Did you not know that Lin Nuo was bathing, and you entered by mistake?”
“No, I knew he was in there; that’s precisely why I went.” Qin Shili stated frankly.
“This…”
Han Xianzi was utterly dumbfounded, her mind unable to process the situation.
How could it be? How could Qin Shili deliberately go there because Lin Nuo was bathing? It made no sense at all.
What’s going on? How could the ice beauty Qin Shili, adored by thousands, do such an outrageous thing to someone she once ignored?
“Why?” Han Xianzi continued to inquire.
“I wanted to understand him.”
“Understand him? Why so suddenly?”
“I’d rather not say.”
“Even if you wanted to understand him, you didn’t have to go while he was bathing…”
“It was necessary.”
From noble mtl dot come
Qin Shili replied with four words, her attitude resolute.
Han Xianzi couldn’t fathom what had gotten into Qin Shili. Something earth-shattering must have happened along the way; otherwise, she would never have taken such a shocking step.
Well, there’s no use asking now; better to ask the youngest disciple.
“Ke Xin, what about you?”
“I…”
Su Ke Xin stammered, embarrassed by the disgraceful incident, which was difficult to articulate.
But seeing Qin Shili admit it nonchalantly, as a declaration of her resolve, she couldn’t afford to fall behind.
“Master, I learned that my senior brother was bathing and went there on purpose, but I didn’t expect the second senior sister to be there too.”
“So the three of you bathed together?”
“Yes.”
At this moment, Qin Shili and Su Ke Xin nodded together.
“…”
Han Xianzi was stunned again. Her third disciple, along with the second and fourth, had bathed together, a development beyond her wildest expectations.
What exactly was the tangled and complex relationship between them? Why had both disciples started paying attention to Lin Nuo?
Why had things suddenly turned out this way?
She didn’t understand, perhaps because she hadn’t paid much attention to him before.
At least her eldest disciple, Liu Shuqin, hadn’t done anything so outrageous.
However, at this moment, Liu Shuqin appeared calm as still water on the surface, but inside, she was far from feeling at ease.
