Chapter 36
Are You Dong Xi?
Chen Farong was originally meditating, but when she heard some movement from a house not far away, she quickly stood up and ran to the door.
This was the first time Chen Farong saw Dong Xi’s face. Before this, he had only watched Dong Xi’s figure practicing her swordsmanship from afar. After seeing Dong Xi, Chen Farong was even more surprised. This cultivation maniac was actually a little girl?
Seeing that Dong Xi was about to leave, Chen Farong immediately shouted, “Please hold on, Junior Sister.”
Dong Xi heard the voice and turned around. It was an unfamiliar girl, and there were alone here. This girl was calling for her, right? However, Dong Xi did not know this person. Could it be that this person was lost and wanted to ask for directions?
Dong Xi looked at the approaching Chen Farong and could not help but ask curiously, “Are you calling me?”
Chen Farong immediately nodded. Of course I’m calling you. Other than the two of us, who else is there? Moreover, for the past month, Chen Farong had been observing Dong Xi’s movements almost all the time. It was only today that she saw Dong Xi’s true face.
Chen Farong took two quick steps and walked in front of Dong Xi to ask, “You are Dong Xi?”
When Dong Xi heard that this person knew her name, she became even more curious. Ever since she had entered the Ningtian Sect, she had rarely interacted with others. Only Ke Xin could be considered to be close to her. Furthermore, Dong Xi had never seen this person before, so how could she call out her name?
Dong Xi immediately became alert and asked, “You know me?”
Chen Farong nodded. Of course, she knew Dong Xi. She was now a famous person. Moreover, this matter seemed to have happened because of her. If it was not for the fact that she could not sleep that night and grumbled a little, everyone would not have become so introverted and only knew how to cultivate.
Chen Farong scratched her head in embarrassment. “The news has spread throughout the Ningtian Sect. The new outer sect disciple of the Alchemy Sect, Dong Xi, has been cultivating all night without rest.”
When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately frowned. She just wanted to live, but she did not expect things to turn out like this. Seeing Chen Farong’s appearance, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Farong in disbelief. Could it be that the person in front of her was the one who spread the news about the ‘Queen of Seclusion’?
Dong Xi asked curiously, “You were the one who spread this?”
Chen Farong suddenly felt embarrassed. She could not be blamed. It was Dong Xi who cultivated too hard. She did not sleep at night and did not rest during the day. She simply did not sleep for 24 hours. Moreover, Chen Farong did not want to spread anything at that time. She did not know why the news had spread like this.
Chen Farong coughed a few times and said awkwardly, “I just asked two of my friends about you. I don’t know how it happened, but the rumors have spread like this.”
After saying that, Chen Farong waited for Dong Xi’s anger. However, after waiting for a moment, she found that Dong Xi was silent, and she immediately felt even more guilty. She only inquired about Dong Xi, and in the end, the rumors about the Queen of Seclusion started to spread. She was really sorry for Dong Xi. There was nothing wrong with working hard on cultivation.
Chen Farong immediately lowered her head and apologized to Dong Xi. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect it to be like this. But, aren’t you tired of cultivating like this every day?”
Chen Farong was really curious. Of course, the first thing she had to do was to apologize. After all, it had affected Dong Xi. Then, she asked this question. Since the day she saw it, this question had been haunting Chen Farong’s mind. Although she had heard of some experts going into closed-door cultivation. This was the first time a new disciple had done so.
Dong Xi deliberately put on a profound expression and shook her head. “You won’t understand.”
Right now, Dong Xi did not even want to say whether she was tired or not. She wished she could Ascend on the spot. Her current cultivation speed was extremely slow, and a day felt like a year to Dong Xi.
When Chen Farong heard Dong Xi’s words, she was speechless. That’s right, she really did not understand, which was why she wanted to ask.
Before Chen Farong could say anything, Dong Xi said indifferently, “I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving.”
Only then did Chen Farong come back to her senses. Perhaps Dong Xi was facing a personal challenge, and it was because of this that she would cultivate so hard.
This was someone else’s private matter, after all, so Chen Farong did not ask too much. Seeing Dong Xi about to leave, Chen Farong immediately called out to her. When she saw Dong Xi turn around, he immediately went forward and said, “Junior Sister, do you think we can trade spirit breath?”
Dong Xi did not want to do it at first, but she remembered that they were neighbors, so she left her spiritual breath. Perhaps they could help each other if something happened in the future. One more friend meant one more path, and it would not be a bad thing for the future.
After leaving the spirit breath, Dong Xi left quickly. She had promised Ke Xin to go collect her welfare. She could not let Ke Xin wait too long.
