In front of Yin Chen, being exposed so bluntly by Nan Shuishui, Nan Qiuqiu was immediately ashamed, and her face that was originally just slightly red instantly turned like a ripe apple.
She stamped her feet and made a big face at Nan Shuishui in embarrassment and annoyance.
"Mom hates it the most."
She didn't care about anything else, turned around and rushed off the ring quickly, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
There is only one sentence left that contains stubbornness and unwillingness, but also implies determination, floating in Martial Arts Arena:
"I... I went to practice."
Looking at his daughter's back, which seemed to be running away, Nan Shuishui had a helpless smile on his face, but in those beautiful eyes, there was more of relief and expectation.
'This kid has finally been stimulated and knows he wants to make progress.'
She thought to herself.
No matter how much she urged her in the past, Nan Qiuqiu, relying on her talent and her status as the young master of the Earth Dragon Sect, was always a little slack and preferred to play with friends.
Today, in full public view, she was defeated so neatly by her peers, especially Yin Chen's almost crushing power and control, which undoubtedly taught her an impressive lesson.
If this frustration and dissatisfaction could be transformed into motivation, it would be far more effective than her thousands of sermons.
Nan Shuishui withdrew his gaze and smiled apologetically at Ma Xiaotao, Yin Chen and others. "My little girl is naughty and makes you laugh."
Ma Xiaotao waved his hand, not caring:
"Sect Master Nan You're welcome, children's temperament is normal."
The two parties exchanged a few more polite words, and then Ma Xiaotao said goodbye again.
This time, Nan Shuishui did not try to persuade them to stay, and personally sent everyone to the door.
After leaving Earth Dragon Sect's station, Ma Xiaotao was in a good mood and patted Yin Chen on the shoulder:
"Well done, you didn't embarrass us Shrek. Your homemade Soul Skill is very interesting. From now on in the academy, sister Xiaotao will protect you."
Ling Luochеn also gave Yin Chen a rare look. Although he did not speak, the recognition in his eyes was obvious.
Yin Chen just smiled humbly and didn't say much.
Watching Yin Chen and others leave and disappear around the corner of the street, the gentle and decent smile on Nan Shuishui's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by silence.
She turned around without hesitation and walked quickly back to the Earth Dragon Sect. She ignored the respectful salutes of the disciples along the way and walked straight towards the deepest part of the sect.
After passing through several heavily guarded courtyards and corridors, she came to an inconspicuous stone wall.
A unique trace of annihilation Soul Power condensed on the fingertips and pressed on a certain obscure groove in the stone wall.
The stone wall slid open silently, revealing a deep downward staircase behind it.
This is the forbidden area of the Earth Dragon Sect, the secret training room of the sect master. Except for her, no one - including the elders of the sect and her most beloved daughter Nan Qiuqiu - is strictly prohibited from entering without permission.
The interior of the secret room is quite spacious, and the walls are inlaid with Soul Guidance Lamp that emits soft white light, but there is a faint breath of death in the air that is incompatible with the vibrant Earth Dragon Sect.
What is even more striking is that in the corner of the secret room, there are several corpses of Soul Beast piled randomly.
Without exception, these corpses were in an extremely dry state, as if all vitality had been drained away, leaving only a layer of skin covering the bones.
And in the center of this secret room, there was an old woman sitting cross-legged.
She also has long pink hair, but it is dry and sparse, and her face is full of wrinkles and old. Only her eyes, occasionally opening and closing, reveal a trace of majesty and depth similar to Nan Shuishui, as well as a trace of desire for life that is difficult to completely conceal.
"Mother."
Nan Shuishui walked up to the old woman, her tone filled with unconcealable complexity and worry.
"The people from the Shrek Academy are here. They are here to trace the traces of Nirvana Corpse. They are not coming directly for you, but I hope that you will not go out again during this period. I will find a way to find enough Soul Beast for you."
If there are Earth Dragon Sect disciples here, they will be shocked to death when they hear Nan Shuishui calling this old woman.
Because Nan Shuishui's mother, Earth Dragon Sect's previous sect leader, Nan Xi, had publicly announced her demise many years ago.
"Shui Shui..."
The old woman Nan Xi slowly raised her head and looked at her daughter who had a mature and steady temperament in front of her, with relief and a hint of guilt in her eyes.
"Thanks to you for your hard work over the years, Earth Dragon Sect has developed very well in your hands, even better than I did during my lifetime. I am very relieved."
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Nan Shuishui's face suddenly changed, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
"Shui Shui, you should know very well that if I continue to stay here, it will be harmful to the Earth Dragon Sect but not beneficial."
Nan Xi's voice is hoarse and calm.
"Yu Chonglou That old guy is so sharp. I'm afraid he has noticed it a long time ago, right?"
She sighed and continued:
"Although you have done a good job and have always used Soul Beast's vitality to support me, so that I did not attack Dragon City's living people, and you also cleaned up those low-level 'Common Corpse' that I brought when I resurrected, but Heavenly Dragon Sect has been dealing with us for too long, and his control over Dragon City is far beyond your imagination. The anomalies in the city cannot be hidden from them, not to mention... When I was resurrected, I was unconscious, and I fought with you, making a lot of noise..."
Nan Xi looked at his daughter's pale face and smiled bitterly:
"Although you used the excuse that the sect's secret method experiment went out of control afterwards, it would be difficult to completely hide the old monster Yu Chonglou who may have entered the Super Douluo realm, Heavenly Dragon Sect has not taken any action so far. This is simply because of the generations-old friendship between the two families and the fact that we, Earth Dragon Sect, have always adhered to the bottom line and have never harmed the people of Dragon City. However, this tolerance is not unlimited."
"Mother."
Nan Shuishui's voice was trembling and stern.
"Did you do something without telling me? Dragon City There have indeed been some mysterious Nirvana Corpse lately. I've noticed it, but I never thought... it would be related to you."
"I didn't attract them."
Nan Xi shook his head, a deep light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"But this Extreme North is about to undergo a huge change. Shuishui, my body's instinct and desire for life are becoming increasingly difficult to suppress."
"I'm like an abscess that can burst at any time. Staying here will only drag the entire Earth Dragon Sect into an abyss of eternal destruction. Once my existence is exposed, Earth Dragon Sect will be recognized immediately. Evil Soul Master is the sect that is determined to collude with evil spirits and provide for the dead. When the time comes, not to mention Shrek Academy, even Heavenly Dragon Sect will be the first to wield the butcher's knife against us."
Her tone became decisive:
"So, I should have left long ago, and 'their' recruitment is just what I want. Maybe... in another way, I can still protect Earth Dragon Sect."
