Chapter 6: Practitioners of martial arts inevitably encounter bumps and bruises

The sensation of absorbing spiritual energy for Pan Xiaoxian is quite delightful. He relaxes his body and mind, immersing his spirit in a state of nothingness, as if every pore in his body were like a baby's small mouth eagerly sucking in the sweet milk, drawing the spiritual energy that permeates the surroundings into his body

Since Pan Xiaoxian underwent mutation, this face can no longer change its color

Forget it, although I didn't injure him, let's just consider it a scare. My granddaughter Ning Pingchao is not someone who can be bullied by anyone!

Old Master Ning's longevity eyebrows trembled, and judging by his demeanor, he resembled someone from the Tang Sect

The bloodthirsty desire hidden within Pan Xiaoxian's instincts erupted in an instant

As one grows older, thoughts become more numerous; Mr. Ning has successfully deceived himself into a state of confusion.

But the problem is, my hand is about to hit your chest, and you tell me this is just a misunderstanding

At this moment, following the usual protocol, Pan Xiaoxian should say, "I am unworthy of such praise from my esteemed predecessor," allowing Old Master Ning to smoothly steer the conversation towards the sects of both parties

What do you want me to do?

If this were to be said by someone from the evil sect, it would definitely be "A friend in death is better than a poor Taoist living on." How can the lives of others compare to the preciousness of my own hands

Are you talking to me? Pan Xiaoxian stared blankly at Old Master Ning, as he could never quite understand what this old man was trying to do. First, he shouted and rushed over wanting to touch his pectoral muscles, but before he could, he retracted his hand. Then he began to mutter some nonsensical things to himself.

She couldn't even utter a single "no," let alone the fact that Pan Xiaoxian actually startled Ning Yusui, and the old man also sensed a strong killing intent emanating from Pan Xiaoxian.

The old man suddenly withdrew his hand, and immediately a crisp sound echoed, as if he also heard the sound of his own heart breaking.

If he truly hails from the Tang Sect, he will be difficult to deal with, as the Tang Sect is also one of the six major sects of Huaxia, with overall strength surpassing that of the Huashan Sect

As Ning Yusui leaned in closer with wide-open eyes to look at him, Pan Xiaoxian suddenly lifted his drooping head. His narrow, phoenix-like eyes widened abruptly, the dark red pupils instantly turning blood red, and the spiderweb-like blood vessels in the whites of his eyes became thicker and denser, as if he were a demon bursting forth from hell, exuding a strong, bloodthirsty aura

Suddenly, the old man’s expression changed dramatically, and in a flash, he dashed like lightning between Pan Xiaoxian and Ning Yusui

Is this person an old lunatic

Thus, it was only when he sensed Pan Xiaoxian's killing intent that he felt even more afraid. If Pan Xiaoxian had not chosen this place to cultivate for the same reason as him, then it would mean that a killer had long been waiting here to ambush him.

He first complimented Pan Xiaoxian, waiting for her to respond so that he could continue speaking.

Wait a moment! This fellow must be a martial arts master pretending to be a fool; otherwise, how could he remain indifferent after my fierce strike just now

Of course, Old Master Ning would not only focus on appearance like his granddaughter Ning Yusui; he was looking at Pan Xiaoxian's eyes

Even an ordinary person, when exerting force to strike someone and suddenly stopping just before making contact, will feel the backlash of their own strength. Not to mention a martial arts master like the old gentleman; his backlash would be even more severe.

It is unclear which martial arts sect or family has secretly nurtured this prodigy, who at such a young age has already developed such astonishing power

It is said that every member of the Tang Sect is petty and vengeful, and that the matriarch of the Tang Sect is particularly protective of her own. This young man's bad temper might very well be spoiled by that old gossip of the Tang Sect's matriarch

Otherwise, how could the head of a prestigious martial arts family have the leisure to visit the school to see his granddaughter who is boarding there

However, the old man cannot truly strike Pan Xiaoxian, otherwise, with this blow, Pan Xiaoxian's little heart would be turned into minced meat.

The old gentleman's character is such that I can say anything about my granddaughter, but who else would dare to say a single 'no' to her!

This young man might just be a prodigy from some major sect or a prominent family. It was originally just a small misunderstanding, but if it leads to any unnecessary disputes, it would truly be a case of making trouble out of nothing, especially since our side is not in the right.

Thus, traditional clothing is indeed excellent, with long sleeves and wide cuffs that not only allow for the storage of items but also serve to create an impressive appearance. Furthermore, one can perform various martial arts techniques such as "Sleeve Universe" and "Shaolin Iron Sleeve Skill," making it easy to swat away flies and mosquitoes, showcasing its endless practical uses

Haha, indeed the world of martial arts is like the Yangtze River, with the later waves pushing the earlier ones, the younger generation is formidable! Old Master Ning, maintaining the demeanor of a reclusive expert, first offered his praise to Pan Xiaoxian—after all, if I compliment you, you wouldn't dare to turn against me, would you?

Old Master Ning's face turned slightly red, as he discreetly hid his broken wrist inside the sleeve of his Hanfu.

Upon reflecting on this, Old Master Ning felt that he had been somewhat abrupt. Although the Ning family is a prominent force among the martial arts families, there exist martial arts sects that hold even greater authority. Most martial arts families maintain a subordinate relationship with these sects; for instance, the Ning family is a branch of the Huashan Sect, one of the six major sects of Huaxia.

Upon realizing that Pan Xiaoxian was merely a young student, he certainly felt a burning embarrassment for having misjudged the situation, yet he did not underestimate Pan Xiaoxian as a result

You are not afraid even though my wrist is dislocated? Where am I supposed to put this old face of mine

Why don't you say anything and leave me to perform alone

However, in the eyes of Old Master Ning, Pan Xiaoxian was anything but dull. When Old Master Ning fixed his gaze on Pan Xiaoxian, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise—Wow! Such an overwhelming presence!

The six major sects interact with each other to some extent, making it easy to establish emotional connections. Over time, misunderstandings can be resolved.

The old man harbored a murderous intent with this strike, which he referred to as the "Heart-Plucking Hand". Just hearing the name reveals how ruthless it is—he's plucking out hearts!

As the killing intent around Pan Xiaoxian dissipated, the old man who had already struck out with his palm was left bewildered—wasn't this just playing with people?

I dislocated my wrist...

Call

Although tears are flowing in my heart, Master Ning is a senior expert who does not shed tears even when bleeding. Moreover, it is inevitable for martial artists to encounter bumps and bruises; it is merely a dislocated wrist

It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. In Pan Xiaoxian's eyes, there was a gaze that revealed emptiness, indifference, and a disregard for everything, and it was not forced but rather a natural expression, which left Old Master Ning even more astonished

Ah!

Who knows which words might offend a person with mental illness? When the time comes, if they stab you, you will have no place to seek justice

This state, even if it is not "entering a meditative state," is still extremely similar.

Emma! Ning Yusui suddenly met the gaze of those devilish blood-red eyes, and was startled by Pan Xiaoxian's malevolent aura, causing her to involuntarily exclaim and retreat repeatedly

Grandfather, weren't you going to stand up for me? Why are you playing games with this kid instead? Ning Yusui, who was beside them, could no longer bear to watch—whoever blinks first loses, right?

Do not be misled by the old man's various serious and stern criticisms and teachings towards Ning Yusui, as if he particularly disapproves of this granddaughter; in reality, he deeply harbors a "granddaughter complex".

Old Master Ning forced a cold smile as he looked at Pan Xiaoxian, only to see her remain unfazed and calm, as if nothing had happened at all. In an instant, Old Master Ning's face turned green—could you at least cooperate a little?

After all, how could this young student, capable of evading his perception, be an ordinary person

As the aura gently weaves its way into her body, it causes Pan Xiaoxian to feel a tingling and refreshing sensation akin to an electric shock, which makes her almost unable to resist the experience

At this moment, Ning Yusui broke his state, just like being interrupted by someone rushing in during a "smack smack smack" moment. Unless it is an affair caught in the act, otherwise anyone would be infuriated by this situation!

Pan Xiaoxian's release of killing intent towards Ning Yusui was merely a reflex of his body. Ning Yusui's exclamation suddenly awakened him, and Pan Xiaoxian quickly realized that the one who had disturbed him was a beautiful girl. He hurriedly suppressed his bloodthirsty desire, and in an instant, his terrifying blood-red eyes returned to normal, along with the bloodthirsty aura that had been emanating from him vanishing completely.

However, the Ning family is a well-known prestigious and righteous clan in Huaxia, and Old Master Ning would not commit acts of indiscriminate killing.

"You dare to be so bold!" The old man was truly furious, striking his palm towards Pan Xiaoxian's chest!

The Six Major Sects of Huaxia appear to be equal and parallel on the surface, but in terms of strength ranking among the Six Major Sects of Huaxia, the Huashan Sect is actually the weakest one

Thus, Old Master Ning and Pan Xiaoxian stared at each other, neither willing to speak first. Pan Xiaoxian did not want to converse with a person who seemed mentally unstable, while Old Master Ning felt too embarrassed to initiate a conversation

It must be that this kid has already been scared to tears

However, that was only because Ning Yusui was outside of his "safe distance". When Ning Yusui took two steps forward, he entered into his "safe distance", with the two of them less than one meter apart and facing each other. Ning Yusui was still staring at his face while speaking, which instantly disrupted Pan Xiaoxian's harmonious state of absorbing spiritual energy

As for the act of blinking, Pan Xiaoxian would never disclose it to others. In fact, his blinking speed is not even as fast as the old man's speed of raising and lowering his hand...

Although the old gentleman's hand had not yet struck Pan Xiaoxian, the fierce gust of wind from his palm had already caused Pan Xiaoxian's clothes to billow up. Pan Xiaoxian stood as if facing the wind, with her hair flying back in disarray, yet she remained unfazed, not even blinking an eye.

For those engaged in martial arts, the perception of killing intent has become an instinct ingrained in their bodies. The moment Pan Xiaoxian suddenly unleashed his killing intent, the old man sensed it immediately, as if a startled cat had its fur standing on end

Pan Xiaoxian is currently unsure whether it is due to a lack of mental clarity, but he is particularly engrossed in everything he does. Perhaps it is because of this mental fog that he cannot be distracted. He is focused on absorbing spiritual energy and is genuinely not paying attention to Ning Yusui.

It is evident that the earlier incident was caused by his granddaughter disturbing the other party's meditation. The release of killing intent by the other party was an instinctive reaction; it was merely a misunderstanding. Furthermore, upon realizing it was a misunderstanding, the other party had already retracted their killing intent.

Unfortunately, he encountered a formidable zombie, and Old Master Ning was left waiting without any sign of a trick, which made him particularly frustrated—at least make a sound!

Yet, Pan Xiaoxian simply does not speak; this cannot be blamed on him. Who would dare to engage in conversation with someone suffering from mental illness without reason?

After all, he is a senior in martial arts. Just now, he took the initiative to compliment Pan Xiaoxian, which was already a concession on his part. However, Pan Xiaoxian ignored him. If he were to continue taking the initiative to speak to Pan Xiaoxian, would he still have any face left?
