Chapter 350 - 350: Ning Xian’er’s thoughts (2)
She sent her divine consciousness in and found that Ning Xian’er was transmitting a message to her.
Moreover, sihe kept transmitting her voice.
“Husband, wait a moment. Xian’er has been transmitting to me non-stop. It might be something urgent.”
Xiao Qingyue grabbed Chen An’s restless hand and said to him apologetically.
Chen An could understand. He was also concerned about what had happened to Ning Xian’er. He said, “Yes, take out the voice transmission talisman and broadcast it. I’ll see if something has happened to Xian’er.”
Xiao Qingyue didn’t say anything else and immediately took out the directed audio talisman.
In the next moment, Ning Xian’er’s voice sounded. It sounded very anxious. “Master, where are you?”
“The Heaven and Earth Palace’s defensive array seems to have been destroyed by someone!”
“Come back and take a look!”
‘What?! The defensive array was broken by someone?’
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Qingyue immediately could not sit still.
She immediately crawled out from under Chen An and quickly changed into the court dress she usually wore. She said to Chen An apologetically,
“Husband, the Heaven and Earth Palace’s defensive array has been broken by someone. 1 have to go back and take a look. Can we do it another day?”
“Go back. I’ll accompany you.”
“Don’t. It won’t be good if Xian’er sees you.”
“Alright, contact me if there’s anything.”
“Yes, I will.”
After saying that, Xiao Qingyue left the room and flew back to the Heaven and Earth Palace on her sword.
She and Ning Xian’er had lived together for hundreds of years. She was Ning Xian’er’s teacher, friend, and mother-figure. Ning Xian’er was the most important thing in her heart.
At this stage, Ning Xian’er was far more important to her than Chen An.
A few hundred years of relationship was not something that could be compared to a month or two of pleasure.
Chen An was also very clear about this.
However, he did not feel any psychological imbalance.
Relationships could be nurtured.
When there is a nest of children in the future, Xiao Qingyue would naturally put him, her husband, first in her heart.
Moreover, Ning Xian’er would sooner or later be his. What was there to be jealous about?
In the Heaven Earth Palace.
Xiao Qingyue had just arrived in the sky on her sword when she saw Ning Xian’er’s figure on a huge rock below.
She slowly descended on her sword. As she sensed the defense array around the Heaven and Earth Palace that no longer existed, she frowned slightly and asked Ning Xian’er,
“Xian’er, what’s with the defensive formation?”
“Master, I’m not too sure either. When I left the cave abode this morning, 1 realized that the defensive array formation had disappeared. After checking, I realized that the eye of the array had been destroyed.”
Ning Xian’er lied through her teeth.
Actually, she was the one who destroyed the defensive formation around the Heaven and Earth Palace.
Seeing that Xiao Qingyue did not return the entire night and did not reply to Xiao Qingyue’s voice transmission at night, she used this plan to force Xiao Qingyue to return.
She was really too suspicious of the relationship between Chen An and Xiao Qingyue. She suspected that Xiao Qingyue did not return last night to have a tryst with Chen An. That was why she was so anxious to do such a thing.
“Is it that strange?”
“Why would you destroy the Heaven and Earth Palace’s defensive formation for no reason?”
“What’s in it for you?”
Xiao Qingyue muttered for a while, unable to figure out the criminal’s motive.
However, professional matters were left to the professionals to do.
Xiao Qingyue spent some time setting up a new defensive array. After she was done, she quickly called Elder Bai, who was in charge of the Dark Forces Department.
“Elder Bai, the Holy Maiden said that the array formation of the Heaven and Earth Palace has been destroyed. Please lead the people of the Dark Forces Department to investigate.”
As she said this, Xiao Qingyue specially looked elsewhere, unwilling to have any eye contact with Elder Bai.
Elder Bai knew her relationship with Chen An, so it was very unnatural for her to communicate with Elder Bai.
Elder Bai was the same. After understanding the content of the mission, she left the Heaven and Earth Palace as soon as possible to work on it. She did not dare to stay with Xiao Qingyue for long, afraid that she would offend her down the line.
After all, on the day she bumped into Xiao Qingyue and Chen An having an affair, Xiao Qingyue wanted to silence them.
Ever since that day, her interaction with Xiao Qingyue had become like walking on thin ice. She was very cautious.
After she left, Xiao Qingyue and Ning Xian’er walked into the Sect Master’s cave abode together and sat down to drink tea.
Xiao Qingyue asked as she drank.
She had asked Ning Xian’er to describe in detail how she had discovered that the defensive array formation had been destroyed. Has she heard any strange movements before?
Ning Xian’er knew nothing because this defensive array was destroyed by her as the Holy Maiden and here she was, the one who was crying wolf.
They ended the topic of defense arrays.
Ning Xian’er asked tentatively, “Master, what do you think of Deacon Chen?”
“He’s worth entrusting your life to.”
Xiao Qingyue said without thinking.
Ning Xian’er’s heart stirred when she heard this.
Soon, she asked again, “Master, if you’re going to marry someone, who will you marry?”
Xiao Qingyue didn’t think too much about it and replied, “Someone with a higher cultivation than me.”
“Can’t someone with a low cultivation level do it?”
“I don’t think so.”
“What if he’s as handsome as Deacon Chen?”
Ning Xian’er finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
In her eyes, Chen An was still the Alchemist whose cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment realm and whose Alchemy realm was high.
Hearing her question, the expression on Xiao Qingyue’s face instantly became unnatural.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment and did not appear too strange.
Xiao Qingyue thought that the reason why Ning Xian’er asked such a question was probably purely for reference.
This was because Ning Xian’er liked Chen An. At the same time, she had admired her as a master since she was young. Basically, she was the standard for everything.
That was why Ning Xian’er had asked this question to refer to the criteria for choosing a partner.
After figuring this out, Xiao Qingyue also replied generously, “If you’re just handsome, you’re not worthy of my attention. Your master is an extremely strong woman. 1 only like men stronger than me.”
Her answer was very ingenious. She successfully avoided Chen An, her cheap husband, while telling the truth.
The main point was that there was an information gap.
It was a lack of information about Chen An’s cultivation.
“Master is indeed Master. She’s not as superficial as me. 1 was just charmed by Deacon Chen’s handsome appearance.”
Ning Xian’er said happily.
She was not being sarcastic and mocking Xiao Qingyue for being noble and impressive. She was really belittling herself to elevate Xiao Qingyue’s rational and clear view of choosing a partner to express her admiration for Xiao Qingyue.
After hearing Xiao Qingyue’s answer just now, she had completely ditched the doubts in her heart.
At the same time, she felt very guilty.
‘Master is so good to me, but as her disciple, I suspect that she has an affair with my sweetheart. This shouldn’t be the case!’
After thinking about it, Ning Xian’er said intimately to Xiao Qingyue, “Master, Deacon Chen is so weak. If 1 really marry him in the future, he definitely won’t be able to protect me.”
“When the time comes, you have to protect us husband and wife”
“In contrast, the two of us will definitely be filial to you. When the time comes, we’ll give birth to many children and let you enjoy the joy of family.”
Ning Xian’er was like a daughter who had been pampered since she was young. She acted coquettishly to Xiao Qingyue.
Seeing that her good disciple was looking forward to being with Chen An in the future, the guilt in Xiao Qingyue’s heart was further magnified.
She felt very guilty about this. She first smiled and said, “Master will definitely protect you well.” Then, she said, “Alright, Xian’er, I’m a little tired now. 1’11 go back to my room to rest first.”
After saying that, she didn’t give Ning Xian’er a chance to reply and directly entered the room.
She could not talk to Ning Xian’er about Chen An anymore.
If they continued to chat, she would really not be able to bear the guilt in her heart.
Seeing that her master had returned to her room to rest, Ning Xian’er tactfully didn’t disturb her further. After cleaning up the tea table, she returned to her cave abode to do her own things.
In the room.
Xiao Qingyue sensed that Ning Xian’er had left.
However, for some reason, the guilt in her heart did not lessen at all. Instead, the more she thought about it, the heavier it became.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. As she thought about it, she took out a voice transmission talisman and sent it to Chen An.
“Husband, I’m frustrated now.. Can you come over and comfort me?”
