The Naughty Senior Sister
Blessings
On the way to the next place, the Faithful Followers of the First Master of the Peak Wind took a moment's rest.
They sat under a large tree deep in the depths of the forest. That way, their group would not attract unnecessary attention from the street bandits. Although the bandits stopped them, it was better not to imagine what they would do to the unlucky bandits.
With her pouting face, Yueqin asked in an annoyed voice, "Jiang Nalan, what were you trying to do back then?"
"You mean?" jiang Nalan asked who was still drinking casually.
"That woman! Why did you say he has such a high possibility of becoming First Master's disciple?!"
Not just Yueqin, Jiang Nalan got the same question just by looking at the facial expressions of every follower. He knew sooner or later this displeasure would be voiced. Moreover, Yueqin who had passionate emotions, surely he would be at the forefront in questioning Jiang Nalan's actions which at that time provided instructions and analysis of the possibility that Qiqi would be recruited as a disciple by their master.
Nodding once, Jiang Nalan took a deep breath as he finished his drink. As a woman who had high manners teaching, Jiang Nalan exuded the aura of a child who came from a family of being.
Jiang Nalan smiled and said, "Don't any of you realize that this Qiqi has something special, neither you nor I have?"
After which, he flicked his finger and a paper of sheepskin came out from his dimensional storage pouch.
He wrote two words on the paper. The writing made by Jiang Nalan has high calligraphy art, thus making others become amazed at the beauty of the writing.
"Physical Nebula?" yueqin asked puzzled as she had never heard of such a physique.
Eyes Jiqing—Rank fourth — furniturealak surprise. He unintentionally raised his voice.
"No way! Wasn't their clan already extinct tens of thousands of years ago?!" ask Jiqing.
"Before you ask that, please first explain what a physical nebula is!" yueqin Protest.
"ah! Sorry, it's my fault. For an explanation, Jiang Nalan .. can you take over?" jiqing asked insecurely with the knowledge she had of the physical nebula.
Jiang Nalan chuckled softly before agreeing to the awkward request from Jiqing.
"Sure, I'll do it."
Jiqing heaved a sigh of relief from Yueqin's sharp gaze. Actually, he could have explained in detail about the nebula's physique, but Yueqin's deadly gaze made Jiqing become less comfortable and afraid to talk. Jiqing's ability in choosing words that didn't upset others upon hearing them, was worse than the intelligence she had.
The First Master once said, "If you have any qualms about saying something out of fear of offending the other person, you better not talk and just be a listener who can make others feel comfortable."
The teaching had become ingrained for Jiqing who was intelligent but not good at expressing intent through words. Other people will easily misunderstand him because the selection of words that are not right and can damage the atmosphere around.
Therefore, Jiqing was more silent when the situation was not supporting her to talk. Giving the right of speech to Jiang Nalan who had the ability as a merchant was the right choice for Jiqing at the moment. He also did not want to take too much attention from the others after seeing how tired Jiang Nalan was of arranging the fourteen of them who were always eyeing the first position as his master's loyal followers.
Jiang Nalan started to explain and the others listened carefully.
"As we have learned while at the top, some of every living thing sometimes has high luck and is endowed with special body parts from birth to the world.
Now, what we're talking about is the physical nebula belonging to Qiqi."
Jiang Nalan paused for a moment, then sipped the tea Jiqing served for him then continued.
"Physical nebulae have characteristics related to dimensions. Physically manipulating with the laws of space, was one terrifying way to scare their enemies to death.
Why so? Because both ordinary and deadly attacks can be easily avoided through dimensional manipulation!
According to ancient records that were on the bookshelves of the peak library, the clan that was filled with the nebula physique had long since gone extinct tens of thousands of years ago. Not only that, the physical owner of the nebula will usually face terrible pain when he is 16 years old. Imagining that Qiqi has made it through that terrible pain, the First Master who possesses knowledge beyond ours will definitely be interested and recruit her as a disciple."
"Just because of the nebula's physique?" tanya Yueqin snorted.
Jiang Nalan chuckled softly while playing the cute face of Yueqin who was being annoyed while saying, "In addition, Qiqi is just like us. It's just that he's luckier for having more blessings than everyone here."
"But right, I also have a blessing like a jade physique?" yueqin Protest.
"Eh? Yueqin has a blessing? Aren't I the same? I also have a metal physique!" continued Ahn.
"I didn't think it was just me, but you too? Perhaps I am not as good as you for having the blessings of divine thought," Jiqing was also surprised to have just learned that every member of the follower has a blessing from birth other than her.
The other members also felt so, then they looked at Jiang Nalan with curious gazes.
Sensing everyone's intentions, Jiang Nalan closed his two beautiful eyelids with a faint smile and said, "My blessing is the eye of truth. I don't have to explain the rest anymore, do I?"
Glucose!
Everyone gulped and nodded obediently.
Finally, they realized the extent of what difference the blessings they had and how Jiang Nalan could lead everyone was like flipping a palm. Not only their talent, difference in blessings as well as abilities were still not on the same level as him. Once again, everyone renewed their views towards Jiang Nalan and in the future, the previous minor annoyances might add up more as their sense of competition all increased.
Then, Jiang Nalan patted his hands together then said, "Everyone at the Peak of Wind has the same blessing as us here. If you slack off a little, your position might just be snatched. You know what happens to those who fall first?"
Everyone there nodded in harmony. Their faces indicated fear of being eliminated. The position they had long desired, it would be impossible to give to anyone, including their own fellows!
Successfully renewing the views of his loyal followers, Jiang Nalan stopped discussing about everyone's blessings.
If only they were still staunchly continuing, he was afraid that they would feel even more inferior when hearing what kind of blessings the elders and direct disciples and the Peak Chief themselves had.
'It's good they're not too stubborn. Otherwise, that self-exalting personality would have to be destroyed using facts more terrifying than what they could have imagined.'
All of the First Master's loyal followers have had a new understanding and are starting to re-correct themselves while the rest period is still ongoing.
The rare silence between them now lasted long enough for them to continue their journey to the next location.
