OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 26 - 25: Getting Rid of Mu Nanqing

The next day.

Just as Shi Nian got up, Xiao Huang started chirping incessantly.

Shi Nian looked around and felt somewhat disappointed not to see her incredibly handsome little Uncle-Master.

Actually.

The best kind of friends to make are friends like Uncle-Master.

Soft and weak, with a good temperament, he'd definitely not cause any trouble outside.

Shi Nian affirmed Lu Zhuoyan in her heart, then smiled and petted Xiao Huang's head: "Xiao Huang, go play with the baldy."

Xiao Huang immediately hopped around cheerfully.

It gathered with the baldy, and the two chickens chirped and twittered about something.

Then.

Shi Nian just watched the baldy's expression grow increasingly shocked, more and more astonished.

Shi Nian couldn't help but think.

How could such a range of expressive emotions appear on the face of a chicken...

If this were modern times, with the baldy's facial expressions, he'd definitely be in high demand by various drama crews, and he might even make it onto some variety shows, get some interviews, and by then, they - one person and one chicken - would've struck it rich.

Shi Nian was getting excited at the thought.

But the baldy and Xiao Huang ran straight outside.

Shi Nian: "???"

She hurriedly followed them.

"Baldy, what are you doing?" Shi Nian couldn't help but ask.

The baldy's shocked voice rang in her mind: "Master, that Li Nanfeng, yes, the one you especially dislike, Xiao Huang says, he's running around the sect."

Shi Nian was taken aback for a moment: "So he's running, what's the big deal about that?"

The baldy continued: "He's not wearing any clothes."

Shi Nian: "...wait for me! Let's watch together!"

By the time Shi Nian arrived, both sides of the scene of Li Nanfeng's wild run were already lined with disciples of the sect.

Shi Nian barely squeezed in, intending to get a good look at Li Nanfeng's heroic bearing.

Just then, her eyes were suddenly covered by someone.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp," Xiao Huang chirped delightedly.

Shi Nian immediately understood and said anxiously: "Little Uncle-Master, let go of your hands!"

Such a chance to see the male lead running naked comes once in a thousand years.

"Little kids shouldn't look at these things," Lu Zhuoyan said.

"Little Uncle-Master! I'm not a kid anymore." Shi Nian was even more anxious: "Missing such an exciting scene, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

Lu Zhuoyan: "..."

He hadn't expected Shi Nian to have this kind of liking and suddenly saw her in a different light.

Lu Zhuoyan ignored Shi Nian's struggle and calmly pulled her away.

When he let go, Shi Nian quickly looked inside.

But there were just too many people in front of her, and she couldn't see anything anymore.

Shi Nian looked at Lu Zhuoyan with tears but no tears: "Little Uncle-Master, how come you're here?"

"It's bustling, I came to see the bustle," Lu Zhuoyan said nonchalantly.

Shi Nian snickered and waggled her eyebrows: "Little Uncle-Master, did you see it? How about it? Is his skin white? Does he have muscles? Most importantly..."

Seeing Lu Zhuoyan's expression growing more and more peculiar, Shi Nian immediately covered her mouth.

Darn it.

Lucky she stopped herself in time.

"Cough cough," Shi Nian coughed twice: "Little Uncle-Master, pretend I never asked."

Lu Zhuoyan remained impassive, tapping Shi Nian's head with a blank face: "Young ladies should be reserved."

Shi Nian felt a bit rebellious.

But considering Lu Zhuoyan's status as an elder, she closed her mouth.

Although she felt saddened at not having been able to see Li Nanfeng's heroic bearing, Shi Nian was excited knowing that so many others had witnessed it.

With this incident, the male lead's prestige within the sect was likely ruined; commanding immediate response as in the books was now utterly impossible.

Shi Nian whispered in a gossipy tone: "Little Uncle-Master, what do you think, why did he suddenly... do that? Has he gone mad?"

Lu Zhuoyan blinked: "Maybe the pressure of cultivation is too great."

After all, it had nothing to do with him.

Right, nothing to do with him at all.

Shi Nian nodded in agreement: "Maybe so. It seems, one shouldn't be too inwardly competitive when cultivating."

"What's inward competition?"

Shi Nian was about to explain properly.

A stern shout rose up.

The Sect Leader made a splendid entrance.

Seeing Li Nanfeng in such a state, his face turned dark, and then he briskly knocked Li Nanfeng out cold and carried him away.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the crowd sighed in disappointment.

As the people dispersed to their respective homes, they discussed among themselves.

"Li Brother's skin is so white... ahem, I mean, what happened to Li Brother?"

"It looks like he's got hysteria."

"Li Brother has such high cultivation, how could he get hysteria?"

"Li Brother is just too hardworking usually, so he couldn't withstand the pressure of cultivation, and his emotions collapsed," Shi Nian couldn't help but add her opinion.

Shi Nian said this, and the people suddenly realized.

"It's very likely. Sometimes when I cultivate too hard, I also feel emotionally unwell."

"No matter what, Li Senior Brother's ability to handle pressure is just too poor."

"With that kind of temperament, he most likely can't take over the mantle of the Sect Leader, right?"

"Stop talking about it, this isn't something we should be concerned with."

Disciples were discussing and quickly dispersed.

An involuntary smile appeared on Shi Nian's face.

Although she didn't know why Li Nanfeng suddenly went mad, the situation was clearly in her favor.

Losing the people's support, she wanted to see if he could still assume the position of the next Sect Leader, even with the backing of the Sect Leader.

"You really dislike Li Nanfeng?" Lu Zhuoyan asked her abruptly.

"Of course," Shi Nian said without hesitation: "Junior Martial Uncle, you should join me in disliking him."

She stated her demand as if it was a matter of course.

Without a single explanation of the reasons behind her statement.

Yet, Lu Zhuoyan couldn't help but slightly smile, "Okay, I dislike him too."

His light smile made his lips look as if they were blooming with hundreds of flowers.

Shi Nian was stunned by his appearance.

After a long while.

She forcefully slapped her face, reminding herself that good looks are indeed a significant advantage.

Shi Nian!

Be cautious!

You must be cautious!

Had Junior Martial Uncle suddenly launched a surprise attack just now, would you still be alive?

Shi Nian seriously reflected on herself, and her eyes regained their clarity in an instant.

She excitedly said, "Junior Martial Uncle, the good news of Li Nanfeng's disgrace, I want to share it with everyone. Do you want to come along?"

Lu Zhuoyan raised his eyebrows, "I'll pass. You have fun."

"Then I shall go by myself." Shi Nian, carrying two chickens, ran off cheerily and energetically.

Lu Zhuoyan looked at her retreating figure and shook his head with a silent laugh.

This Martial Niece of his was a bit too lively.

But indeed... quite adorable.

Li Nanfeng had slept for a whole day and night before he barely regained consciousness, his mind initially in Chaos, but gradually he remembered all that he had done, his complexion suddenly changed drastically.

"Awake?" The Sect Leader's deep voice rang out.

A great alarm went off in Li Nanfeng's heart, and he knelt down at the Sect Leader's feet as soon as he got up.

"Master, I must have been schemed against! That morning, I clearly knew what I was doing, but I just couldn't control my actions," Li Nanfeng said, his voice tinged with panic.

"I know," the Sect Leader said calmly, "After my investigation, it appears to be the work of the Demon Sect."

"The Demon Sect? They... they're targeting me?" Li Nanfeng, recalling the inexplicable misfortune he had encountered before, felt even more panicked.

"The Demon Sect, no doubt, has grown more and more arrogant," the Sect Leader said with a stern expression: "Rest assured, it takes more than just any member of the Demon Sect to cause a Nascent Soul Stage Disciple to lose control of their body without anyone noticing. Even within the Demon Sect, there are only a few who could achieve this. I will seek justice for you."

"Thank you, Master," Li Nanfeng said, lowering his head.

"You previously mentioned that you were confident in obtaining a great opportunity in the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land. Is this true?" the Sect Leader suddenly asked.

"It is true," Li Nanfeng said definitively.

"Nanfeng," the Sect Leader spoke calmly, "the methods of the Demon Sect are indeed despicable, but effective. Now, your reputation within the Sect has greatly diminished. I intended to pass my position to you, but even I must consider public opinion. However, if you possess absolute strength to dominate your peers, then everything changes, for in the Cultivation World, strength is paramount. Do you understand?"

Li Nanfeng clenched his fists: "Disciple understands."

"No, you do not understand," the Sect Leader said indifferently, "You must know that among your peers, Mu Nanqing is your biggest rival. On this journey to the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, if there's a chance, eliminate her."

Li Nanfeng trembled.

The Sect Leader raised an eyebrow, "I know you like this girl, but you should be clear about what's more important."

After a while.

Li Nanfeng lowered his head, saying softly, "Disciple understands."

This time.

He truly understood.

The Sect Leader approved of this.

"In the coming period, do not go out anymore. Concentrate on waiting for the Forbidden Land to open."

"Yes."

Li Nanfeng looked up only to find that the Sect Leader had already disappeared.

His gaze flickered slightly, and a pained expression crossed his face.

He truly... liked Mu Nanqing.

If it were before.

Even with comparable strength, he could rely on his reputation to secure the position of Sect Leader.

But now.

With his reputation greatly reduced, if he cannot demonstrate overwhelming power, the Sect Leader position may escape him.

Eliminate Mu Nanqing...

The words of the Master echoed again in his mind.

Li Nanfeng's eyes gradually became calm.

Nanqing.

This is probably... our destiny.
