Chapter 63: Nalan Yanran's Shame

The next day.

"Sister, you're awake!"

Nalan Yanran looked at the awakened Xiao Yixian, and a pleasant surprise appeared on her pretty face.

"Sister... Where am I?"

Xiao Yixian opened her eyes, looking at the Nalan Yanran in front of her with a hint of confusion.

Nalan Yanran helped Xiao Yixian sit up and explained, "This is your own room. Yesterday, I saw you faint, so I brought you to Elder Gu He's place."

Looking at the familiar surroundings in the room, Xiao Yixian gradually regained her senses.

Thinking of the life-and-death battle yesterday, Xiao Yixian looked at Nalan Yanran with concern, "Sister, are you okay?"

Seeing the concern in Xiao Yixian's eyes, Nalan Yanran felt warm inside, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine. Just some minor external injuries. I applied some healing medicine given by Elder Gu He, and I've already recovered."

At her words, Xiao Yixian was taken aback, "Did the teacher come?"

Nalan Yanran nodded, "Yes, after Elder Gu He examined your injuries, he left. He instructed me to take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian's expression changed slightly, "Does the teacher know about yesterday's incident?"

Nalan Yanran also recalled the perilous scene from yesterday and said with a somewhat desolate expression, "Elder Gu He is angry. I naturally dare not conceal anything."

At this, Xiao Yixian's expression became downcast, "The teacher must be very disappointed in me..."

"Of course, he is disappointed!"

At this moment, Elder Gu He's voice sounded from the doorway.

Xiao Yixian and Nalan Yanran were startled, but they saw that Elder Gu He's figure had somehow entered the room unnoticed and was slowly approaching the two.

Nalan Yanran quickly stood up, looking a bit nervous, and said, "Elder Gu He."Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

Elder Gu He maintained a stern face, gave a faint acknowledgment, "Hmm."

Then, he turned his gaze towards Xiao Yixian lying on the bed.

Facing Elder Gu He's gaze, Xiao Yixian, unusually, seemed a bit evasive and whispered, "Teacher."

On the side, Nalan Yanran listened to their conversation, a hint of shame passing across her pretty face.

She remembered that at the Mitel Auction House, if she hadn't kept asking questions, Xiao Yixian wouldn't have exposed her treasures.

In the end, the crisis they encountered yesterday was all caused by her own hands.

Now hearing Gu He's reprimand to Xiao Yixian, Nalan Yanran felt as if Gu He was scolding her as well.

Thinking about this, Nalan Yanran felt both embarrassed and guilty, almost unable to face them.

Xiao Yixian, on the other hand, didn't think too much. After listening to Gu He's teachings, she nodded earnestly, "Teacher, disciple remembers. We won't reveal our treasures to outsiders in the future."

Gu He nodded, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Although you made a mistake this time, looking at the whole situation, there are still many commendable aspects."

"At least, when facing suddenly appearing enemies, you didn't panic. You knew how to secretly poison, and you utilized your hidden strength for a sneak attack..."

Gu He's tone suddenly shifted, and he started praising Xiao Yixian again.

On the side, Nalan Yanran, upon hearing Gu He's words, couldn't help but recall her own panic and confusion when facing the enemy. A blush involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.

Nalan Yanran thought with embarrassment, "Elder Gu He is clearly praising junior sister. Why does it feel like he's scolding me?"

Upon hearing Gu He's acknowledgment in his words, Xiao Yixian's small face instantly blossomed into a smile.

Teacher actually praised me!

It seems that I still have some merits in Teacher's

eyes.

However, before she could enjoy the happiness for too long, Gu He's expression changed again, becoming serious. "Although you have some merits, your performance is not good enough."

"Even to the point of... being somewhat ridiculous!"

At his words, the smile that had just appeared on Xiao Yixian's face froze.

Xiao Yixian felt a bit frustrated.

Teacher, can't you say everything at once?
