Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Ouyang Qing subconsciously glanced at his second senior brother and noticed that he had reached the mid-level of the Transcendent Realm. He secretly wondered if a fight with him would expose his own decline in cultivation. After some thought, Ouyang Qing ultimately chose to remain calm and politely responded, "Senior Brother, you're right."

After saying that, the two of them stared quietly at the competition venue below, watching Jiang Suihuan beat Nangong Yan mercilessly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the protagonist’s halo or the effect of the heart-protecting scales, but Nangong Yan can actually withstand Jiang Suihuan’s 9981 whips with her physical body!

Pei Ning in the audience couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He pushed away his fellow disciples who were trying to stop him, picked up his sword and flew onto the competition stage. Without hesitation, he stabbed Jiang Suihuan with the sword, with the tip of the sword pointing straight at Jiang Suihuan's throat.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. They stared blankly at what was happening on the stage. For a moment, no one reacted.

Only the half-dead Nangong Yan was moved to tears, her heart filled with gratitude towards Pei Ning. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her senior brother was much more reliable than her own master.

Second Elder Liu Dan was extremely anxious and quickly attacked, a burst of spiritual power swiftly knocking the sword out of Pei Ning's hand. He angrily scolded, "What did Fourth Junior Sister teach you? The rules of the inner sect competition must be a one-on-one duel. How dare you, a bastard, rashly interfere!"

Pei Ning slowly turned around, facing the elders' platform. He gently waved his disciple robe and half-knelt, his upright posture appearing remarkably resolute. He said respectfully, "I am merely concerned for the safety of my junior sister. Elder, please allow me to escort her back to her residence. After this matter is resolved, I will proceed to the Punishment Hall to receive my punishment."

As an elder who cares for his disciples, the Fourth Elder naturally agreed to Pei Ning's request and let him take Nangong Yan away. At the same time, he winked at the presiding disciple, signaling him to cooperate.

The disciple in charge finally reacted and quickly announced the news of Jiang Suihuan's victory.

Pei Ning picked up the seriously injured Nangong Yan without hesitation and walked out step by step. Nangong Yan was grateful and her heart was full of respect and gratitude for Pei Ning. She said with difficulty: "Thank you, senior brother, for protecting me."

At this moment, Su Lan, who was diligently digging for spiritual plants in the secret realm, heard the system's notification sound: "Congratulations, host. Due to the decline in the heroine's favorability, the hero's aura has now dropped to 70%."

Su Lan couldn't help but wonder what these two people had done. But looking at the lush green plants in front of her, she decided to finish the transplant work first.

Dugu Yan, who was standing aside, was guarding his junior sister the whole time, thinking to himself: It turns out that his junior sister likes all kinds of grass so much!

At this moment, the atmosphere on the elders' platform became increasingly strange. After the Fourth Elder successfully persuaded the Second Senior Brother, he actually struck up a conversation with Ouyang Qing: "Junior Brother, if our two disciples could become Daoist couples in the future, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?"

Ouyang Qing's expression darkened. He slammed the pear wood table with his palm, smashing it into pieces. He uttered "No way!" and flew back to Lingfeng on his sword, leaving the bewildered elders staring at each other in bewilderment.

Sect Leader Nan looked towards Li Village thoughtfully, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

At the same time, Ouyang Qing was the first to return to the gate of Nangong Yan's courtyard, waiting for the two people who returned on the crane. When they arrived, Ouyang Qing took the person from Pei Ning and glanced at the unconscious apprentice.

He said to Pei Ning in a cold tone, "Yan'er is my disciple, so everything is naturally decided by me. If you dare to interfere again next time, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between fellow disciples."

Just as he was about to leave after saying this, Pei Ning stopped him and said, "Uncle Ouyang, please wait a moment. This is a top-quality healing elixir. I'll leave it for my junior sister." As he said this, he handed over a white jade porcelain bottle and bowed before taking his leave.

Ouyang Qing looked at the white jade porcelain bottle in his hand, and a hint of anger rose in his heart, but he did not show it. He gently placed Nangong Yan on the couch, then carefully opened the bottle cap, took out a pill and put it into her mouth.

Then, he gently stroked Nangong Yan's forehead and said softly: "Xiao Yan'er, don't be afraid, you will get better after taking this pill." However, when he thought of how Pei Ning stood up for his apprentice just now, the anger in his heart surged up again.

He placed the porcelain vase heavily on the table, making a dull thud. Then, he brushed his wide sleeves vigorously, turned around and left the room, returning to his main courtyard.

At this moment, the only person left in the room was the pitiful heroine, Nangong Yan. She lay quietly on the couch, letting the healing pill's power wash over her body, with no one around to guide her. Only her faint voice could be heard in the room, as if calling out, "I want some water..."

Meanwhile, Pei Ning went to the punishment hall and received thirty strokes of the cane. Despite the excruciating pain, he remained unyielding. In the end, his senior brother couldn't bear it anymore and brought him back to Lufeng and gave him medicine.

After Su Lan came out of the small secret realm with a lot of gains, she returned to the inn to take a nice bath before opening the system panel and carefully watching the system's playback screen. It was really difficult to comment on their behavior, but the heroine could not die now.

So at night, Su Lan knocked down the senior brother next door, changed into black clothes, and used the system's space conversion to go directly to Nangong Yan's room.

At this time, Nangong Yan was trapped in a nightmare. No one treated the injuries on her body, which had become inflamed and she had a high fever.

Su Lan reluctantly used two points to exchange for a mild medicinal elixir and stuffed it into her mouth. Nangong Yan's body gradually changed when the elixir entered her mouth. The sweat on her forehead became less, and she slept more peacefully.

Su Lan lifted the clothes in her hand and saw that the wound was healing. She nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave when Jin Ling spoke.

"Master, please take back the heart scale from her clothes. It's a valuable item. Don't leave it to her."

Su Lan thought about it and decided to follow Jin Ling's advice. She carefully opened Nangong Yan's clothes, revealing the heart-protecting scale that was gleaming with a faint light.

She gently reached out and took it off. It was a shiny dragon scale, which could be used again after washing with spiritual spring water.

Yes, Su Lan’s depression about spending points for others was also gone, and he happily took the Heart-Protecting Scale back to the system space.

Ouyang Qing, who was still sulking in the room, suddenly wanted to go and see how Nangong Yan was doing. When he rushed over, he found that her injuries had healed a lot.

Nangong Yan felt that there was a familiar person around her, and she tried to open her eyes. When she saw the worried expression on her master's face, her feeling of grievance suddenly burst out, and she hugged Ouyang Qing and started crying.

"Yan'er, where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ouyang Qing's cold heart was melted by the soft little disciple in his arms.

"Master, Senior Sister Jiang hit Yan'er so hard, she didn't leave me any chance to survive. If it weren't for my..." Nangong Yan reached for the place where she had placed the Heart Scale, but found it had disappeared. She was horrified, "Master, my Heart Scale is gone."

"Heart-protecting scales? That kid Pei Ning also gave it to you," Ouyang Qing felt a little jealous.

"Brother Pei was also trying to save Yan'er's life, but now that it's lost, I don't know how to explain it to you."

Nangong Yan lowered her head, her expression twisted into a grimace. However, after discovering that her whip wounds had healed, she had a guess. "Master, do you know if the Heart Protecting Scale can heal injuries? Yan'er was clearly covered in whip wounds before she fainted, but they're all healed now."

Ouyang Qing had only heard of the Heart Protecting Scale and didn't understand it, so he could only agree with his apprentice. But he grasped the key point, and with his body covered in whip wounds, he recalled the scene of Nangong Yan being whipped on the competition stage today.

He gently touched Nangong Yan's head and said, "Master will avenge you and make Jiang Suihuan disappear from your sight."

"Thank you, Master. Master still loves Yan'er," Nangong Yan said and kissed Ouyang Qing on the face.
