Don’t Touch Porcelain

Chapter 3

That night on Jiuxuan Peak, the wind was howling inside the residence of the five people.

Yi Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the bed, listening to the sound of the wind passing through the room, but he was unable to fall asleep, so he suddenly got up and left.

Ye Su was right about one thing: he preferred swordsmanship to forging magical weapons.

The head master also knew his situation and even refined a good sword to give to Yi Xuan.

Some weapon refiners are good at sword refining, which requires an understanding of sword cultivation, so there are many sword manuals left behind by the predecessors in Qianji Sect. Yi Xuan picked a few of them to study.

Yi Xuan flipped his right palm and the sword flew from the Qiankun bag to his hand. Now that he had established his foundation, he could start flying the sword, but the sword manual did not explain in detail how to fly the sword, so he could only learn by himself.

The Jiuxuan Peak is a thousand feet high. Yi Xuan stands on the top of the peak. The wind blows past and lifts the corners of his clothes. He closes his eyes slightly and pours his spiritual power into the sword. After feeling the connection between his spiritual consciousness and the sword, he takes a deep breath and steps on the sword. He raises two fingers of his right hand to control the movement of the sword. It moves smoothly, but suddenly falls down the next moment.

Ye Su had a white cloth plaster on her nose. She went down the mountain early in the morning carrying two shoulder poles and brought back four loads of bricks and mud, preparing to repair the wall for her fellow junior brothers and sisters. When she reached the gate of the yard, she ran into Yi Xuan who had returned.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending not to notice Yi Xuan's embarrassment, and greeted him casually: "Junior Brother."

Yi Xuan practiced flying the sword all night and fell off Jiuxuan Peak several times. He was covered in wounds and even the red mole between his eyebrows seemed to have dimmed.

At this time, the third sister just came out of the room. She was stunned when she saw Yi Xuan's expression, and then she subconsciously tried to stop the fight: "Little brother, the eldest sister didn't mean it. The wall can be fixed today. Why are you fighting?"

The five of them grew up together in Qianjimen. Although the eldest senior sister usually treated Yi Xuan no differently, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Ye Su and Yi Xuan did not have a good relationship.

"I didn't touch him." Ye Su immediately raised a hand to explain to Xi Yu, "His injury has nothing to do with me."

Yi Xuan glanced at the two of them indifferently and returned to his room without saying a word.

“… Senior Sister, Junior Brother really won’t go down the mountain with us?” Xiyu looked at Yi Xuan walking towards the innermost residence, quietly approached Ye Su and asked.

"There are only four of us." Ye Su said absentmindedly. She touched her injured nose. The ointment had a strong smell and was average in effect, but it was cheap.

Xiyu felt a little regretful: "Junior brother is not very close to us."

"It's time to mend the wall." Ye Su interrupted. It was normal that they were not close. The second male lead was only good to the female lead. She still remembered that in the original book, all these sisters and brothers died at the hands of monsters.

"Senior Sister, let me help." Xia Er walked out and immediately picked up a basket of bricks.

Soon, Ming Liusha also came out of the room and helped build the wall.

Yi Xuan sat on the bed and meditated to rest, but he couldn't calm down. He could hear the laughter of several people outside from time to time.

Without the nourishment of spiritual veins, the entire sect cannot earn many spirit stones. Every day, it tries to steal the spiritual energy of other sects, but is looked down upon.

These few people always act as if nothing happened.

Yi Xuan turned his palms upwards, and the spiritual energy that was originally flowing suddenly scattered and jumped around in his lungs.

Across two rooms, Ye Su sensed an unusual fluctuation in the air and couldn't help but frown. This kind of aura could only be from Yi Xuan who was in the foundation-building stage. As the fluctuation became more and more obvious, she hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Here." Ye Su threw the brick in his hand to Ming Liusha and walked out quickly. "You guys continue to build. I'll go out and have a drink of water."

As long as he has not left, he is still the junior brother of Qianji Sect.

Ye Su kicked open the door and found that Yi Xuan, who was meditating, had disordered breathing and reversed spiritual flow. She instantly pressed two fingers on the Neiguan and Lingdao acupoints on his wrist. The spiritual energy from her fingertips flowed in and dispersed the reversed spiritual energy in his body.

Yi Xuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on the bed.

Ye Su looked at her junior brother lying on the bed, with blood on his lips and a red mole on his forehead that made him look even more charming. She sighed in her heart. Is he showing signs of being possessed so early? She thought that it was because the heroine and the hero provoked Yi Xuan in the later period that he became possessed. It turned out that he already had a demon in his heart

Ye Su was thoughtful for a moment, then she picked up the thin blanket beside her and covered his face with it, trying to avoid seeing it and left the room.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Yi Xuan came to his senses. He pulled off the thin blanket on his face and stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed.

From the very beginning when they first met, Yi Xuan knew that Ye Su didn't like him.

Yi Xuan raised his hands to cover his eyes and sneered: She is just pretending to be the senior sister.

It took a whole morning to build the wall. Ye Su and the others had just sat down on the doorstep to rest when they heard a bell ringing outside the courtyard gate. All the sisters and brothers turned their heads to look over.

Ning Qianyao, wearing a light white dress and with her hair tied up in a bun, pushed open the gate and came in. She had a pair of silver bells on her wrists, which were said to be a gift from the leader of the Wuyin Sect, and they could clear her mind and improve her eyesight.

She was dressed clean and elegantly, and compared with the mud-covered people sitting on the doorstep, she was no better than the others.

Ning Qianyao walked in lightly, accompanied by the sound of bells. She saw that these people were dirty and her eyes showed a little surprise, but she only asked: "Senior Brothers and Sisters, is the little senior brother here?"

"Here." Xia Er pointed to the innermost house.

Ning Qianyao did not rush in, but took out a notebook and handed it to Ye Su: "Big sister, this is some of Qianyao's experience in building the foundation. Big sister, take it for reference. If you still don't understand anything, you can come and ask Qianyao."

"Give it to me?" Ye Su didn't understand what she was doing for a moment.

Everyone in the world of cultivation has his or her own destiny, especially when it comes to breakthroughs, which rely on personal enlightenment. No one has ever written down any notes of experience, after all, everyone is different.

Ning Qianyao nodded and blinked playfully: "Other brothers and sisters can also watch it."

The faces of the people on the threshold were strange, and Xiyu said directly: "Master Sister, you don't need it, she has already established her foundation."

"Little, junior, sister, is also, kind." Ming Liusha said slowly, but combined with Xiyu's previous sentence, it always carried a suffocating embarrassment.

"Junior brother has also established his foundation." Xia Er added kindly.

Ning Qianyao's fingertips hidden in her sleeves curled unconsciously. She was not surprised that Yi Xuan could build a foundation. Master and mistress had already said that the little senior brother was extremely talented. Every time he brought spirit stones to see Yi Xuan, Master knew about it.

But why was the senior sister also able to successfully build her foundation

Ning Qianyao took back her notes and said apologetically, "It was Qianyao who didn't hear the news. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior Sister."

"Master hasn't had time to inform you yet, so you don't have to mind, Junior Sister." Ye Su said sincerely, "However, if you have extra spirit stones, you can give them to me. Senior Sister is also a foundation-building person now, and she needs a lot of spirit stones to practice."

Ning Qianyao: “…”

The most shameless person in Qianjimen is Ye Su. Others would feel more or less embarrassed to use their spiritual veins, but she has never blushed, and even now she wants to ask for her own spiritual stones

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, for successfully building your foundation. Qianyao will go find Junior Brother first." Ning Qianyao's clear round eyes curved up with a sweet smile. She pretended not to have heard what Ye Su had just said and walked away quickly. However, the sound of the bell was a little fragmented and hurried, not as pleasant and light as when she came in, and it seemed like she was fleeing in a hurry.

The brothers and sisters sitting on the doorstep all supported their faces with one hand, looked at Ning Qianyao walking into Yi Xuan's room, and sighed in unison.

—I’m so envious!

Ning Qianyao is full of spiritual objects from head to toe. Not to mention the silver bells, even the shoes on her feet are full of spiritual energy.

The yard was full of mud today, and Ning Qianyao left footprints on it.

"It would be great if she could come here on some soil from the Wuyin Sect." Ye Su looked at the footprints and suddenly said, "The soil there is more or less stained with spiritual energy."

The three people sitting on the right turned their heads and looked at Ye Su: "..."

Ming Liusha: "Not to the point."

Xiyu: "That's not necessary."

Ye Su seized the opportunity to teach his fellow disciples: "You should learn to be frugal and save money. A little bit of spiritual energy is still spiritual energy. Don't waste it."

Xia Er, who admired Ye Su the most, immediately agreed: "Big Sister is right."

Although people were chatting happily outside, the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff.

Ning Qianyao said, "Tomorrow, the foundation-building disciples of Wuyin Sect will go out for training, and they can bring two disciples from Qianji Sect with them. Master said that if Junior Brother can go with us for training, he will definitely benefit a lot."

Yi Xuan stood by the window and could see from afar those people getting up to clean the yard. He turned around and said, "I won't train with the disciples of Wuyin Sect."

Ning Qianyao advised: "The eldest senior brother of Wuyin Sect is already in the late stage of foundation building. He will also go this time. If the young senior brother can come along..."

"Hiding behind other people?" Yi Xuan interrupted her. His breath was reversed this morning and he almost got into trouble. Now he can stand here entirely by willpower.

Ning Qianyao raised her head and looked at Yi Xuan, then changed her words: "Junior Senior Brother, if you don't go, Qianyao will be the only one here."

Seeing that he remained silent, Ning Qianyao's bright smile gradually disappeared, and she said with some disappointment: "I am the only one going to Qianji Sect, so just think of it as going with me, and don't worry about the brothers and sisters from Wuyin Sect. Besides, they are not as strong as you."

Everyone in Qianjimen was immersed in his own world, and only Ning Qianyao would come to see him from time to time.

Yi Xuan glanced at his junior sister who was looking at him cautiously, and finally agreed: "...Okay."

When Ning Qianyao walked out, those people were still sweeping the yard.

"Junior sister, goodbye. We'll come again next time." Ye Su said kindly, his eyes involuntarily falling on the soles of her shoes.

It was just a polite remark, but Ning Qianyao inexplicably replied: "Big Sister, I'm afraid it won't work during this period. I want to go out with the foundation-building disciples of the Wuyin Sect to train."

"Junior sister, we are about to go down the mountain as well." Xia Er came over and said, holding a broom.

“… This time, all of them are foundation-building disciples, so it might not be appropriate to bring Fourth Senior Brother along.” Ning Qianyao thought Xia Er wanted to go along, so she implicitly refused, nodded to them, and left quickly.

Xia Er looked at her back and scratched his head: "I didn't say I wanted to go together?"

Xiyu asked, "So Junior Sister is here to go and train with Junior Brother?"

Ming Liusha lowered his head and swept away the mud, and said slowly: "Probably."

"Alright." Ye Su opened the communication jade disc, "Hurry up and finish sweeping the yard. Master asked us to go find him later."

The head master called the five disciples together. When he saw the scratches on Yi Xuan's face, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get hurt?"

Yi Xuan lowered his eyes: "I accidentally scratched myself while practicing swordplay."

The head master listened to his words and was about to say something when he saw Ye Su, who came in last to close the door, with a plaster on his nose: "Ye Su, what's wrong with you?!"

Ye Su covered her nose and said, "I hit my head against the wall yesterday."

The head master was suspicious: "Why would you hit the wall for no reason?"

"An accident during training." Ye Su changed the subject, "Master, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Speaking of this, the head took out a bunch of odds and ends from his Qiankun bag, including elixirs, magic tools, etc. He threw a bottle of medicine to Ye Su and said, "This is the medicine I kept for injuries. I bought it at the Treasure Pavilion. Take it with you on the road. Also, divide these magic tools among you. It's dangerous outside. Just visit the sect and come back. Don't make trouble."

"Yes, Master."

The head master instructed Ye Su: "Remember to keep an eye on your fellow disciples."

Ye Su nodded: "I know, Master."

The head master stroked his beard with satisfaction. Ye Su had been a worry-free person since she was little. After handing the things to her, he waved his hand and said, "Go back and have a rest early. We have to go down the mountain tomorrow."
