Zhao Yunxiao: “...”


    If not because he had no other choice, he would definitely want to be clothed at all times!


    But even as he was thinking that, Zhao Yunxiao tried not to let his feelings show on his face.


    After he finished saying everything that Cha had told him to say, he quickly turned around and made his way back to his station while putting up a confident front.


    All this time, most of those present had their gazes darting continuously between him and Chen Pingxi, trying to figure out what just happened.


    It was then that a loud voice sounded out from the end of the room, instantly drawing over everyone’s attention.


    “That’s right! That’s right, indeed!” Dan Juexing slapped his armrest in exclamation. “If ice wants to gain the fluidity of water, it cannot remain frozen! Hahaha! It’s such a simple concept, so how could I not have thought of that before?”


    He Luoxuan who was just about to apologise for Zhao Yunxiao’s transgression felt his words being stuck in his throat.


    Dan Juexing’s reaction was definitely not what he was expecting.


    “Hahaha! Thank you, little brother!” Dan Juexing suddenly stood up and clasped his fists towards Zhao Yunxiao. “Thanks to those words, I believe I finally have an idea on how to help her moving forward! What are you waiting for, Pingxi?”


    “


    Therefore, she could only refer to Zhao Yunxiao as young sir instead.


    Zhao Yunxiao had been wondering what on earth Cha was trying to make him say,  eventually


    That crazy sea serpent actually made him, an outer disciple of one sect, give guidance to the prime disciple of another sect, and in front of her master to boot?


    There was no way that He Luoxuan would let him off the hook for such improper behaviour!


    It’s nothing like that, Sect Leader Dan,” He Luoxuan hurriedly denied. “Yunxiao probably just felt soft hearted after seeing Pingxi being reprimanded for her mistake and wanted to calm her down a little. His wordsare definitely not intended as guidance or anything of the sort. Yunxiao!”


    “


    Who are you to interfere when Sect Leader Dan is lecturing his disciple?” He Luoxuan berated. “What are you waiting for? Why aren’t you apologising to Sect Leader Dan?”


    “


    “Tch! Bunch of kids acting all inflexible and old fashioned. Even I am more receptive to modern conventions!” Cha commented unhappily.


    Perhaps you are the one who is a little too modern for this world!


    “


    Did Dan Juexing already realise what was going on?


    Don’t worry, Elder He. We have all gathered here today to looking forward to receiving guidance from you,” Dan Juexing said. “This is a problem that she and I have been trying to fix for a while now, but all our efforts have been in vain. But as expected, you were able to instantly see through the issues that our Pingxi has been facing with regards to her cultivation. I know it is purely out of kindness that you are giving guidance to Pingxi, so I naturally won’t be offended. In fact, I believe it is our fortune to have you point the way for us today!”

    He Luoxuan was truly at a loss for what to do right now.


    If he were to deny that he was responsible for what happened, wouldn’t that be akin to saying that an outer disciple of his Black Tortoise Sect was able to instantly fix a problem that Sect Leader Dan Juexing could not?


    “


    In the end, the Black Tortoise Sect elder had the final say when it came to whether Zhao Yunxiao should be punished or not.


    But unlike the others, He Luoxuan revealed a look of surprise because he somehow understood what Zhao Yunxiao was trying to do right now.


    That way, he would not have to face the dilemma of having to choose between agreeing or disagreeing with what Dan Juexing said.


    It was just that at the same time, Zhao Yunxiao was also trying to make He Luoxuan pardon him in front of everyone.


    He Luoxuan would not have acceded to such schemes under normal circumstances, but he decided to make an exception this time since what Zhao Yunxiao did eventually resulted in something good for Dan Juexing and Chen Pingxi.


    “


    “


    This Cha was really making things difficultfor him just because of its whims.


    It was a great relief that he had managed to tide things over, but that was too close for comfort!


    Pardon my transgression, but since we are on the subject, can this junioralso humbly ask if Elder He has any advice for me?” Zhou Qin stood up and bowed deeply towards He Luoxuan.


    Now that there was such a rare opportunity in front of him, it was not surprising that he would risk coming across as rude to try and ask for any sort of useful advice.


    Since he had graced Chen Pingxi with cultivation advice specially catered to her, they wanted to see if he was feeling generous enough to do the same for others as well.


    Your master Elder Xie is an accomplished individual who even I have to learn from, so I’m sure Elder Xie has his plans laid out for you,” He Luoxuan said with a smile. “As an outsider who doesn’t understand the situation well, I shall not say anything lest I mess things up instead.”


    Master, is it all right if I receive some pointers from Elder He?” Zhou Qinimmediately turned towards his master Xie Gun, refusing to give up just like that.


    “


    In fact, it was not difficult for He Luoxuan to offer some simple words of advice to Zhou Qin, and he was more than willing to do so as well considering how promising the latter was.


    How could it be so easy to offer specific advice to someone whom he did not even know all that well?


    At the same time, if he were to suddenly start asking Zhou Qin about his cultivation now, would that not expose the fact that he did not come up with the advice for Chen Pingxi earlier?


    Say it! You had no issues saying it earlier so why are you hesitating now?” Cha’s voice sounded in his head. “All you have to do is repeat what I said!”


    Not only did I have plenty of issues with it, but it gave me plenty of issues to handle after that as well!


    Come on, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to help out your comrades. Don’t you see how eager he is right now? Are you going to just leave him in the lurch?”


    “


    Otherwise, the stream of demandsmight never end!


    Sigh, looks like I have no other choice then...”


    Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Yunxiao felt a surge of energy wrapping around his body. It was an extremely familiar feeling, almost like the casing of water that had kidnapped him last night...
