Jiujiu followed closely behind him. The two of them chased each other for almost half an hour before that person finally stopped at the edge of the forest. She turned around and saw that it was indeed Nan Xiao.
Jiujiu furrowed her brows and stared at Nan Xiao cautiously. She pursed her lips but did not make a sound.
Nan Xiao was dressed in black robes. His tall stature was accentuated by the moonlight. The contours of his face were distinct under the moonlight and he looked extremely handsome. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiujiu was gentle as if it contained the light of spring. After a long pause, he softly called out in a lingering voice, "Jiujiu."
It would have been fine if Nan Xiao had questioned her or treated her with some other attitude. However, his expression was filled with tenderness. Jiujiu could not help but frown as she stared at him. Her heart grew even more cautious.
"Nan Xiao, why have you barged into my room at night?"
Nan Xiao frowned when he heard Jiujiu's question. A sense of helplessness appeared on his face as he replied softly, "Jiujiu, I know that you recognize me."
Nan Xiao's voice was as cold as ever but there was an indescribable tenderness in his tone.
Jiujiu was shocked. She stared at Nan Xiao in confusion, "What did you say?"
"When I first saw you, I knew that you still remember me." Nan Xiao stared lovingly at Jiujiu. He walked towards her as he spoke, "The heavens have the virtue of cherishing life by allowing me to be reborn after death. When I died, I swore that if I were to be reborn, I would treat you like a pearl or a treasure. Jiujiu, you're just like me, aren't you?"
As soon as Nan Xiao spoke, Jiujiu was stunned. She would never have guessed that the reason why Nan Xiao was different from the original owner's memories was because he had been reborn.
Jiujiu stared dumbfoundedly as Nan Xiao drew closer. After a long pause, she said, "How do you know that I'm just like you?"
Nan Xiao walked in front of Jiujiu and gently stroked Jiujiu's face with his fingers. His eyes were filled with affection and his lips curled into a smile as he spoke gently, "That's because the Jiujiu I knew was unruly and adorable. Although she had a small temper, she was not as ignorant as you are. Furthermore, you seemed to be chatting casually with He Liu yesterday but you were trying to get information out of her. Only He Liu was an idiot who did not realize that you were my Jiujiu... I knew that you were my Jiujiu..... just like me........
.... "He Liu. Jiu..... of. Jiujiu of course.."...... ".....".... Jiu Jiu.....
When she reached the end of her sentence, there was a hint of a sob in her voice. Nan Xiao was so happy that she hugged Jiujiu and did not let go for a long time.
Jiujiu's body stiffened as she allowed Nan Xiao to hug her. She never thought that she would be exposed here. She pursed her lips uncomfortably and asked softly, "So, you were the one behind this martial arts convention?"
"Of course." Nan Xiao laughed icily as a cold, murderous look appeared in his eyes. He spoke with a murderous aura, "That year, that old thief, Yue Wensheng, killed you and me. He caused our deaths. How can I not avenge such a deep grudge? Jiujiu, just you wait. When the martial arts convention ends, Yue Wensheng will die."
He gritted his teeth as he spoke. It was obvious that he hated Yue Wensheng to the core.
Nan Xiao hugged Jiujiu. The two of them stood there for a while before Nan Xiao and Jiujiu returned to the inn. They were ten days away from Mount Song, where the martial arts convention would be held. Naturally, they could not give themselves away, especially Jiujiu.
Therefore, the next day, Nan Xiao brought Jiujiu with him to change into a new outfit.
She was dressed in the same white clothes as him. Her hair was combed into the style of a young lady. She did not have the exotic beauty, but she looked more exquisite.
Jiujiu had lived in Miaojiang for many years. Due to the abundant moisture, her cheeks were as white as milk. From afar, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of light. It was pure and beautiful. In addition, Jiujiu pretended to be ignorant and innocent. It was not something that an ordinary woman of the jianghu could compare to. In an instant, many Nian Juns were stunned.
He Liu looked at Jiujiu in shock. She did not regain her senses for a long time. She clicked her tongue and said, "Hey, Jiujiu, do you have any unmarried sisters in your family?"
Although his martial arts skills were low, he was very good at reading people's expressions. Although Big Senior Brother did not say anything, his words and actions were saying that Jiujiu was his.
Everyone was convinced of Big Senior Brother's abilities. He did not dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. He could only think of other ways.
For example, if Jiujiu was so beautiful, then Jiujiu's sisters must be very beautiful as well. If he could not marry Jiujiu, then it would be the same if he married Jiujiu's sisters.
Jiujiu said, "I only have one parent."
"Oh!" He Liu lowered her head in disappointment. She slowly said, "I understand. Fine work produces fine work."
Jiujiu …
As soon as she said this, everyone laughed in unison.
Jiujiu laughed as well. She moved her body and leaned against Nan Xiao's chest. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Nan Xiao could feel Jiujiu's docility and trust. He could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. A hint of gentleness flashed across his cold eyes.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, Jiujiu was his only tie. Whether he became a god or a demon, as long as he had Jiujiu by his side, he would be happy no matter where he was.
After ten days, they arrived at Mount Song. They were taken to the guest rooms of the Mount Song Sect to rest.
Because Jiujiu was with Nan Xiao and the others, and they were all wearing white robes, everyone thought that Jiujiu was a female disciple of Penglai. They did not take her seriously at all. They did not know that Jiujiu was not from Penglai. Instead, she was from the Devil Sect.
When they found out, their intestines were already green with regret.
Although it was a Martial Arts Society Convention, the leaders of the sects were well aware of the purpose of this convention.
Holding a Martial Arts Society Convention to choose a leader was a lie. They wanted to lure out the Devil Sect and destroy them.
Therefore, during the first two days of the martial arts competition, all the sects sent out nominal disciples to put on an act. Their minds were not on the martial arts competition at all.
However, if the righteous people could come up with an idea, the Devil Sect would naturally know as well. Therefore, after a few days of the competition, the righteous disciples had walked around, but not even an extra sparrow appeared.
Only then did the righteous people become serious and stop being perfunctory.
Soon, it was time for the leader of the South Sea Sect to go on stage.
The disciples of the South Sea Sect were all nuns. The leader's Buddhist name was Jingshu. She was known as Abbess Jingshu in the Jianghu.
Although Abbess Jingshu's name was Jingshu, she was not quiet and beautiful at all. On the contrary, she had a bad temper. Perhaps it was because the appearance was born from the heart. Although Abbess Jingshu had read Buddhist scriptures her whole life and eaten vegetarian food her whole life, her face still carried a fierce aura.
