Junior sister took first place again

Wen Xingzhou hopes that this peaceful time will last forever, just like the calm surface of a lake, without a single ripple.

However, reality always urges everyone to move forward, as if an invisible hand is pushing them forward.

After a moment of silence, Ning Jiasheng gently pushed him away.

"Brother, I can't stay here for too long."

There was a fleeting hint of reluctance in Ning Jiasheng's voice, but more of it was determination for the future.

Wen Xingzhou nodded, reluctance and pride appeared in his eyes, just like the bright moon in the night sky, bright and gentle.

"Junior sister is right, we have more important things to do."

"So I'll cut to the chase." Ning Jiasheng said, "I don't know when Ji Tang and Xue Wuying sneaked into the secret realm and followed me..."

Anger flashed in Wen Xingzhou's eyes, and a murderous intent emanated from his body, but it quickly subsided.

Ning Jiasheng smiled reassuringly, indicating he was fine, and continued, "Now that their souls have been injured, leaving behind irrefutable evidence, we can take this opportunity to hold those aristocratic families accountable, and then follow the clues to eliminate a group of traitors. In short, we will handle it as appropriate after Senior Brother leaves."

Wen Xingzhou nodded, "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I understand."

He paused and continued, "But before that, I have something to give you."

As he spoke, Wen Xingzhou pulled out a delicate little box from his bosom and handed it to Ning Jiasheng. She took it curiously and opened it, revealing a delicate and gorgeous jade pendant that emitted a faint glow.

"This is. . . . . .?"

"Blue Sea and Green Lotus Pendant."

Ning Jiasheng held this extraordinary-looking jade pendant, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"But I can't use these things in the secret realm, so I can only put them away for the time being."

"This isn't a foul," Wen Xingzhou said, untying the cicada-shaped jade pendant from Ning Jiasheng's waist. He then handed it to her and said gently, "Junior sister, keep this."

Then, he took the Azure Sea Lotus Pendant and tied it on her, explaining, "This is just an ordinary jade pendant that carries the blessings of my master and me. I hope that Junior Sister can turn danger into safety in the secret realm. It doesn't have offensive capabilities, so it doesn't count as a foul."

After saying that, he tied it up, took two steps back, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Ning Jiasheng looked down at her new jade pendant, then at the jade cicada in her hand. A mischievous look flashed in her eyes, and she teased, "Is that really all?"

Why doesn't she believe it?

Ning Jiasheng didn't believe that his senior brother didn't know how necessary this jade cicada was to her. Besides, the jade cicada was a gift from an immortal after all, and the cicada was also the champion cicada.

The elders gave her the jade cicada as a gift, which also meant wishing her to win first place in the trial. It was reasonable and logical for Ning Jiasheng not to take it off easily, at least when she was in the secret realm.

Since Wen Xingzhou knew all this and still insisted on giving her a new jade pendant, it means that the new one also has the main functions of the jade cicada.

Since the functions are similar, why did the senior brother insist on replacing her with a new one? The reason why he went through so much trouble is very intriguing.

Moreover, the senior brother also mentioned the master, indicating that in order to achieve such an effect, the power of the immortal master must be required to complete it.

So, senior brother even disturbed the master, and the master actually took action, just to ask her to replace the jade pendant given by the unparalleled immortal?

Wen Xingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and his voice remained warm: "Our family doesn't need these things. It was my master and I who were negligent. Next time, I won't let my junior sister owe anyone a favor."

Ning Jiasheng nodded, stared at him, and said meaningfully: "That's all, what else?"

Wen Xingzhou felt that his junior sister was actually more like a cunning little fox. His ears flushed slightly, and he looked into her eyes nervously and said softly, "I carved the jade pendant myself. My craftsmanship is not very good, so I hope my junior sister won't despise it."

Ning Jiasheng fell silent as he looked at the exquisitely crafted green lotus jade pendant hanging on the hem of his clothes.

Do you have any misunderstanding about your poor craftsmanship?

Ning Jiasheng decided not to tease his shy senior brother anymore. "Thank you, senior brother. I like it very much. I should go now. Senior brother, remember to say thank you to Master for me."

"Junior sister, take care." Wen Xingzhou's voice echoed in Ning Jiasheng's ears, "I will wait for your triumphant return at the sect."

Ning Jiasheng nodded with a beautiful smile, then turned around and continued walking in the designated direction.

Wen Xingzhou watched his junior sister's figure gradually recede until she disappeared at the edge of the oasis. He took a deep breath, and his usual gentle expression was suppressed. He seemed like a different person, and disappeared in an instant.

If Ning Jiasheng had looked back just now, he would have doubted whether this was still the senior brother who blushed when given a jade pendant?
