Princess Rui Si chided, “Ning Cheng, you must not be rude in front of Sister Tong Hua.”
The long-skirted woman smiled faintly, “Rui Si, it’s not a problem.”
After saying that, she however looked at Ning Cheng and asked, “Ning Cheng, have you been Sister Ruisi’s escort for a long time?”
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “Yes, for a long time. The princess has been very kind to me, and I have been cultivating here for a long time and have made great progress.”
The embarrassment on Ruis’s face flickered away, in fact Ning Cheng had become her escort for more than a month though. But it was still the first time she had met Ning Cheng after he had become her escort.
“Oh, I wonder what you’re good at?” Tong Hua asked with a smile.
Ning Cheng’s heart was slightly moved, could it be that this woman had just detected his divine sense snooping? Otherwise, why would she keep asking a nameless guard like him? It was reasonable to say that even if his cultivation level was eternal, his divine sense was not something that this Dao-shaping woman in front of him could perceive, unless this woman had a top-notch magic treasure on her.
Ning Cheng was unable to use his divine sense to spy on this long-skirted woman, but his heart grew a little more wary. This long-skirted woman was much more innocent-looking than Rui Si, with a melon face, but with a hint of roundness, which had a little more softness to it. Despite her smile, she still had a vague aura that was hard to resist, so it was clear that this Tong Hua was from a much higher origin than Ruis.
“I am better at dealing with group attacks ……,” Ning Cheng said as he looked for the same skill that a guard should have.
Hearing this, Tong Hua frowned somewhat slightly and looked at Ruis and said, “Ruis, this time to the Holy Land, it’s a long journey, plus we have a limited number of places in the treasure carriage ……”
Before Tong Hua could finish his words, Ning Cheng knew what the other party meant, this was to dislike himself for being a burden. Besides, wasn’t a treasure carriage just a flying magic treasure? Since the quota was limited, how long would it take to add a few more flying magic treasures?
Ruis nodded, and then said to Ning Cheng, “Ning Cheng, you ……”
As soon as Ning Cheng heard Rui Si’s words, he knew that this woman wanted him to stay at Tanza Corner, so he immediately hurriedly said, “By the way, I also know how to refine weapons, and my refining skills are not bad.”
The reason why he said this was because Ning Cheng had judged from Luo En’s performance that Bright Sky’s smithing skills were not good.
“You know how to refine weapons?” Tong Hua was looking at Ning Cheng with an astonished face this time.
Ning Cheng said with mock pride, “That’s right, I can refine weapons ……”
Tong Hua did not wait for Ruis to speak this time and said to Ruis, “Just take him with you, there are really not many people who are good at refining weapons now.”
After saying that, Tong Hua turned around and left. Ruis nodded to Ning Cheng, seemingly satisfied with Ning Cheng’s performance. Then she followed and said, “We will depart in three days, so you should prepare.”
Ning Cheng waited for the two women to walk away before sighing, he had fallen for it. Even if he didn’t say that he knew how to refine weapons, this woman called Tong Hua would still find a way to get Ruis to bring him along. Tong Hua should have set her eyes on him, and as for the reason, it was most likely related to the divine sense that he had swept towards her.
The reason why he was asked what he was capable of was because he had seen that he wanted to go to the Sacred Domain. Ning Cheng shook his head, a strong man who was on the verge of crossing the third step was actually being counted on by a Dao-shaping Saint Emperor. This woman was not simple.
“Congratulations, my name is Zheng Xian, I would like to ask Brother Ning to take care of you more in the future.” A guard from the next room walked out and said to Ning Cheng with a cupped fist. Apparently Ning Cheng had just signed up and he had heard
With a smile on his face, Ning Cheng clasped his fist and said back, “Many thanks Brother Zheng, it was also my luck.”
“It’s hard to enter the Sacred Domain, Brother Ning has only been here for just over a month and already has the opportunity to go to the Sacred Domain with the princess, it’s really great luck.” Zheng Xian sighed, he felt regretful that it was not his turn to go to the Sacred Domain this time.
Ning Cheng was puzzled and asked, “Brother Zheng, Fairy Tong Hua said that the quota for that treasure carriage was limited, why wasn’t there an additional treasure carriage?”
Zheng Xian looked at Ning Cheng in amazement for a while before he said with relief, “Brother Ning has just come from the Mortal Domain, it is normal for him not to know. It is an incomparably long journey to the First Holy Domain of the Bright Sky from the Moron Kingdom Domain. Moreover, there was a Sacred Domain River to get to the Sacred Domain. There is no magic treasure other than the Brightness Treasure Carriage that can cross the Sacred Domain River. Even if you could walk to the edge of the Sacred Domain River, you still wouldn’t be able to go to the Sacred Domain without taking the Bright Treasure Carriage.”
So that was how it was, Ning Cheng finally understood what was going on. This Sacred Domain River must be a dangerous place similar to the Calvary Mountain.
“Thank you, Brother Zheng, for pointing it out.” Ning Cheng and Zheng Xian were polite before returning to his room.
“Daoist Monarch Ning, I would like to take my leave.” As soon as Ning Cheng returned to his room, Wang said to Ning Cheng, there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Ning Cheng looked at Wang with suspicion, “Wang, we are about to go to the Bright Sky Sacred Domain, the opportunities there are definitely much more than here, why do you want to take your leave now?”
Wang took a breath and said with extreme caution, “Daoist Monarch Ning, the number of places to go to the Sacred Domain is limited, I listened to that Tong Hua, if you insist on taking me, she should agree. You should be careful with that woman, it’s not very simple.”
“Then let’s go together.” Ning Cheng didn’t care what that woman thought about him bringing an extra person and a beast.
Hope shook his head and continued, “More to the point, I don’t want to go myself, I feel like a fish out of water in this place. Cultivating is many times more effective than in the Eternal Hope Abyss, I’m sure that in a few years at most, I’ll be able to fully recover my strength and then I can see the third step.”
Ning Cheng nodded his head, this was not a nonsense statement from Wang. In just over a month’s time, Wang’s strength was almost catching up with his. It was evident that Wang was indeed more suitable for cultivation in this side of the universe.
“Another thing is that I want to figure out the new rules here on my own. I am going to leave Cape Tanza and find a place alone to advance and prepare to cross into the third step.” Hope spoke in all seriousness.
Ning Cheng asked in puzzlement, “Don’t you want to go back to the Five Elements Universe where we came from?”
Wang shook his head and said, “Yes, I indeed don’t want to go back. One is that this place is more suitable for me, and by not going back I can also avoid participating in the Second Opening of the Gate of Creation War. After seeing how strong you are, Daoist Monarch Ning, I know that I am just an ant in the face of the second opening of the Gate of Creation. Of course, there is a more important reason ……”
“What?” Ning Cheng subconsciously asked.
Wang took a breath and said in a deep voice, “It was only after I came to this side of the universe that I thought this through. Ji Fengyu is amazingly talented, would he allow a wisp of his own consciousness to pose a threat to him? Or would he allow the wisp of consciousness that he had spent so much effort to create to just break away from his control?”
Ning Cheng instantly understood what Wang meant, “Wang, are you saying that Ji Fengyu deliberately let you grow up and then use you for him?”
Wang said affirmatively, “In this side of the universe, after being exposed to the darkness and light attributes, it became clearer and clearer to me. This is how Ji Fengyu thought, he left behind many consciousnesses back then, and I am just one of them. I am certain that when the second Gate of Creation opens, Ji Fengyu will fuse these consciousnesses of his and then perfect his world and dao. What he did back then was most likely in preparation for the opening of the second Gate of Creation.”
Ning fell silent, he didn’t feel that what Wang said was wrong. These old things, all of them incredibly shrewd, usually didn’t fall away easily. It was normal to leave behind some backhand that was elusive to others.
Wang sighed and said, “After arriving in this side of the universe, this feeling of mine has become clearer and clearer. I feel like I can only stay here and truly perfect my dao and cross over to the third step before I can cut off all my previous ties and truly belong to myself.”
“Good, then I wish you success.” Ning Cheng did not persuade any further, people had their own wishes, and since Wang had decided, there was no need for him to persuade any further. Besides, what Wang said was not without reason.
“Alas, there is one less old friend.” Watching Wang leave Cape Tanza’s House of Affairs alone, Chasing Ox said with a sigh. As a fellow who loved a good time, he was too bored without someone to fight and talk to. It made him miss the old gas, and of all the people he had come into contact with, only the old gas was most in tune with his temperament.
From Old Gas, it had not only learnt a lot about the lack of modesty, but it had also gone to the next level.
……
Three days later, Ning Cheng followed the rest of the forty-nine guards and escorted the two of them, Rui Si and Tang Hua, out of Tanza Corner.
Princess Ruisi did not even mention the departure of Hope. Originally, Ning Cheng was worried that chasing cows would be rejected, but he did not expect that this would not be asked either. This was because of the fifty escorts, each of whom had a beast pet.
The only difference was that Ning Cheng’s beast pet, Chasing Ox, was the weakest in strength.
Ning Cheng wanted to find out where Tong Hua came from and why he was going to the Sacred Domain. However, he asked several people one after another, but none of them were willing to pay attention to him.
Being isolated made Ning Cheng a little speechless, guessing that these guards thought that he had come to take the pet and he could only walk with Chasing Ox at the end.
“Friend, my name is Ju Qi.” Just when Ning Cheng was not going to ask, a short and thin man suddenly walked up to Ning Cheng and said in a small voice with a clasped fist.
“My name is Ning Cheng.” Ning Cheng also returned the greeting with a clasp of his fist.
Ju Qi glanced at the group of guards in front of him and whispered, “Brother Ning, if you meet a big battle on the way, don’t stand with these people.”
“Why?” Ning Cheng asked suspiciously, even though all these guards were alienated from him, we were all on the same side after all.
Ju Qi transmitted a voice, “You just came here, so you don’t know these people. There will definitely be battles on this road, so you will understand what I mean when the time comes.”
After chatting with Ju Qi for a while, Ning Cheng had an initial understanding that among these fifty guards, Rui Shi only had twenty guards, while the remaining thirty guards were all Tong Hua’s. As for Tong Hua’s origins, Ju Qi did not know either, only that he was a character with great origins and was related to Ruis.
This group of people would not go to the Moren Kingdom, and would head directly to the First Holy Domain of the Bright Sky. As for the Bright Treasure Chariot, that would only be offered up at the Holy Domain River.
