260 So It Was You Who Brought the Protective Shield
When Xiong Ye saw Dong Xi, he was also very happy. When he saw Dong Xi standing between Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng, he immediately reacted and said, “Junior Sister Dong Xi, so it was you who brought the protective shield!”
Dong Xi was speechless.
Dong Xi’s body reacted quickly and directly jumped onto the deck. She immediately covered Xiong Ye’s mouth. She said, “Senior Brother!”
Xiong Ye was a little dumbfounded. He then heard Dong Xi clench her teeth and say, “I’m trying to save face, okay?”
Xiong Ye’s body was trembling a little, as if he was having a hard time holding it in. Dong Xi said in a low voice, “Senior Brother, lower your voice and don’t let others know. If others know… Don’t even think about having any pills from me in the future.”
When Xiong Ye heard this, he immediately nodded his head obediently.
Only then did Dong Xi let go of his hand. But seeing the smile on Xiong Ye’s face, Dong Xi said helplessly, “It’s the protective shield that big Senior Brother gave me. I didn’t want to do this.”
Xiong Ye calmed himself down and tried to hold back his laughter. He said, “The Senior Brothers love you so much, we all envy you. Why would we laugh?”
Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and looked around. She said, “Senior Brother, where do you live?”
Xiong Ye pointed to the middle of the second floor and said, “That’s my room.”
Xiong Ye’s cultivation level was slightly higher than the Qi Refinement disciples, so he had more to do before he could board the airboat. When he came up, he could only grab a room on the second floor.
Curious, Dong Xi went to Xiong Ye’s room to take a look and found that this room was simpler. It was quite bare, and she did not even see a dressing table.
Only then did Dong Xi understand the reason why her two Senior Brothers had brought her up. It was because the rooms on each floor were different, and the difference was quite big.
When everyone had their own rooms, Yi Kun once again said loudly, “All disciples, please be patient. We will set off in half an hour.”
At first, Dong Xi wanted to go back to her room and wait for the airboat to take off. However, she had not imagined that she would see Senior Sister Gu Yao on the way. Therefore, she immediately gave up the idea of relaxing and went to Senior Sister Gu Yao’s room to chat.
Senior Sister Gu Yao was at the 11th level of the Qi Refinement stage, but she lived in a corner of the 1st level. Although the room was simple, it was very quiet, which was in line with her personality.
Dong Xi sat on the bench and watched as Senior Sister Gu Yao took out tea and spirit fruits. She also took out two bottles of Spirit Restore Pills and gave them to her.
Gu Yao was stunned and said, “Junior Sister, why are you giving me pills?”
“Think of it as me cheering for you, Senior Sister!” Dong Xi said.
Seeing Senior Sister Gu Yao’s confusion, Dong Xi gave her the same explanation as the one she gave to her two Senior Brothers. “Senior Sister may not be able to use the other pills, but these Spirit Restore Pills will definitely be useful.”
Gu Yao frowned and realized that Dong Xi had given her top-grade Spirit Restore Pills, so she could not accept it.
Dong Xi directly stuffed the Spirit Restore Pills into her Senior sister’s hand and even clutched her hand. She was extremely excited!
Her Senior Sister’s hand… this hand was able to display such amazing control of spiritual energy.
This hand was so beautiful, so white and smooth, the only bad thing was… Dong Xi did not have such hands.
Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at her own hands, almost looking like she was crying.
Dong Xi’s face instantly turned serious and said, “Senior Sister, have you forgotten that I’m an alchemist? To us alchemists, giving away some pills isn’t a big deal. Compared to these pills, I care more about the sect’s honor. Senior Sister, my cultivation is too low, so I’m probably only here to watch you all fight. Your sword technique is very powerful, so I hope you can win more resources for the sect. Only in your hands can this pill be put to full use.”
Dong Xi was almost touched by these heartfelt words.
After hearing that, Gu Yao’s face also turned serious.
Gu Yao thought for a long time and said, “Junior Sister, I know that there are strong people out there. There are many people who are more powerful than me. Since you trust me, I will do my best.”
Gu Yao’s expression became more determined and her voice became steadier.
“Then, Senior Sister, please accept the pills,” said Dong Xi.
Gu Yao raised her hand and took out a jade box.
Gu Yao said, “This is the Ice Doll. I got it by chance when I was out training. As a sword cultivator, I have no use for it. I’ll give it to you.”
Ice Doll, a fifth-grade spiritual item, was an essential material for refining Tranquil Heart Pills.
The Tranquil Heart Pills was a supplementary pill to resolve the Mental Demons. Dong Xi accepted it and remembered in her heart that in the future, when she refined medicinal pills, she must send some pills to her Senior Sister.
“Thank you, Senior Sister. I’ll accept it,” said Dong Xi.
Gu Yao’s face was slightly red as she said indifferently, “Take it. I saw Junior Sister’s swordsmanship in the Sword Sect and gained some enlightenment. I’ve always wanted to ask Junior Sister for advice. I wonder if Junior Sister could give me some advice?”
Dong Xi was a child who liked to help others, not to mention such a beautiful young lady. She was more than willing to help her Senior Sister.
