Chapter 63: Nan Yanran's Shame

  The day.

  "Sister, you're awake!"

  Nan Yanran looked at the awakened Xiao Yixian, and a pleasant surprise appeared on her pretty face.

  "Sister... Where am I?"

  Xiao Yixian opened her eyes, looking at the Nan Yanran in front of her with a hint of fusion.

  Nan Yanran helped Xiao Yixian sit up and expined, "This is your own room. Yesterday, I saw you faint, so I brought you to Elder Gu He's pce."

  Looking at the familiar surroundings in the room, Xiao Yixian gradually regained her senses.

  Thinking of the life-ah battle yesterday, Xiao Yixian looked at Nan Yanran with , "Sister, are you okay?"

  Seeing the in Xiao Yixian's eyes, Nan Yanra warm inside, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine. Just some miernal injuries. I applied some healing medie given by Elder Gu He, and I've already recovered."

  At her words, Xiao Yixian was taken aback, "Did the teacher e?"

  Nan Yanran nodded, "Yes, after Elder Gu He examined your injuries, he left. He instructed me to take good care of you."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian's expression ged slightly, "Does the teacher know about yesterday's i?"

  Nan Yanran also recalled the perilous se from yesterday and said with a somewhat desote expression, "Elder Gu He is angry. I naturally dare not ceal anything."

  At this, Xiao Yixian's expression became downcast, "The teacher must be very disappointed in me..."

  "Of course, he is disappointed!"

  At this moment, Elder Gu He's voice sounded from the doorway.

  Xiao Yixian and Nan Yanran were startled, but they saw that Elder Gu He's figure had somehow ehe room unnoticed and was sloroag the two.

  Nan Yanran quickly stood up, looking a bit nervous, and said, "Elder Gu He."

  Elder Gu He maintained a stern face, gave a faint aowledgment, "Hmm."

  Theurned his gaze towards Xiao Yixian lying on the bed.

  Fag Elder Gu He's gaze, Xiao Yixian, unusually, seemed a bit evasive and whispered, "Teacher."

  "Hmm."

  Elder Gu He gave a light response, and then, a gentle expression appeared on his face, "Feelier now?"

  Feeling the strong from her teacher, Xiao Yixian's heart trembled. Moisture quickly covered her beautiful eyes, "Teacher, disciple..."

  "How e you're g again..."

  Seeing Xiao Yixian suddenly burst into tears, Gu He revealed a trace of helplessness. He approached the bedside, rubbed her little head, and forted her gently, "Alright, you're safe now."

  Xiao Yixian buried her little head in Gu He's embrace, g with teary eyes, "Teacher, disciple knows she was wrong..."

  Gu He smiled and asked, "Wrong? Tell me, where did you g?"

  At his words, Xiao Yixian paused, the sound of her g slightly halted. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke softly, "Disciple shouldn't have sneaked out of the sect secretly, and entered danger, making teacher worried."

  Gu He's hand, rubbing her little head, paused slightly, and he asked, "When did I ever say that you couldn't leave the sect?"

  "When you became my disciple, what did I tell you?" Without waiting for Xiao Yixian to answer, Gu He tinued, "As long as you don't betray the sect, anything you do is your freedom. I won't interfere."

  At his words, Xiao Yixian's small face froze, recalling the se when she became his disciple.

  It seemed that the teacher had never demanded anything from her.

  All this time, the teacher had silently given her various treasures without asking for anything iurn.

  Seeing Xiao Yixian silent, Gu He's expression gradually became serious. "It seems you still don't know where you went wrong."

  As Gu He's tone became stern, Xiao Yixian suddenly woke up, panic fshing in her eyes. "Teacher, disciple..."

  Gu He said seriously, "Tell me, why did you enter dahis time? Why did they target you specifically instead of others?"

  Seeing Gu He getting serious, Xiao Yixia a sense ency. She didn't dare to and, with a hint of ption in her beautiful eyes, she spoke slowly, "We were targeted because we exposed the treasures on our bodies."

  "Teacher, is that so?" Xiao Yixian looked at Gu He with a somewhat seeking gaze.

  Gu He, hearing this, smiled with relief, "You finally uand."

  "Out in the world, keepih cealed is the first rule."

  Gu He's tone carried a bit of preag and a hint of reprimand. "And what did you do? You btantly revealed your treasures to outsiders without any sideration."

  "Faced with precious treasures, even those who had no ill iions inally might harbor bad thoughts towards you."

  On the side, Nan Yanran listeo their versation, a hint of shame passing across her pretty face.

  She remembered that at the Mitel Au House, if she hadn't kept asking questions, Xiao Yixian wouldn't have exposed her treasures.

  In the end, the crisis they entered yesterday was all caused by her own hands.

  Now hearing Gu He's reprimand to Xiao Yixian, Nan Yanra as if Gu He was scolding her as well.

  Thinking about this, Nan Yanra both embarrassed and guilty, almost uo face them.

  Xiao Yixian, oher hand, didn't think too much. After listening to Gu He's teags, she nodded early, "Teacher, disciple remembers. We won't reveal our treasures to outsiders iure."

  Gu He nodded, a look of satisfa in his eyes.

  "Although you made a mistake this time, looking at the whole situation, there are still many endable aspects."

  "At least, when fag suddenly appearing enemies, you didn't panic. You knew how to secretly poison, and you utilized your hidden strength for a sneak attack..."

  Gu He's tone suddenly shifted, aarted praising Xiao Yixian again.

  On the side, Nan Yanran, upon hearing Gu He's words, couldn't help but recall her own panid fusion when fag the enemy. A blush involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.

  Nan Yanran thought with embarrassment, "Elder Gu He is clearly praising junior sister. Why does it feel like he's scolding me?"

  Upon hearing Gu He's aowledgment in his words, Xiao Yixian's small fastantly blossomed into a smile.

  Teacher actually praised me!

  It seems that I still have some merits in Teacher's

  eyes.

  However, before she could enjoy the happiness for too long, Gu He's expression ged again, being serious. "Although you have some merits, your performance is not good enough."

  "Even to the point of... being somewhat ridiculous!"

  At his words, the smile that had just appeared on Xiao Yixian's face froze.

  Xiao Yixia a bit frustrated.

  Teacher, 't you say everything at once?
