Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie did not care about the prince’s words, they only looked towards Ning Cheng, wanting to know what Ning Cheng meant. However, when the two women turned their heads to look at Ning Cheng like this, the man riding on the unicorn had already seen the two women’s appearance very clearly and immediately inhaled in shock. He had never seen such beautiful women in Aaron City, and he had seen two of them at once.
Unlike others, in a place like Aaron City, even if ordinary people knew that Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie were stunningly beautiful, they would not dare to make a move. The laws of Aaron City were too harsh, and if one moved such a thought, he would face the fate of being hanged.
He was the son of the city lord, and if he wanted a woman, he didn’t have to follow the same bullsh*t laws as the commoners.
“They’re all your women?” The man on the unicorn’s eyes flickered for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
As soon as Ning Cheng heard this, he knew that this fellow had his eye on both Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie, and he was about to speak when Yin Kongchan snatched ahead and said, “Yes, we are both his women.”
Hearing Yin Kongchan’s reply, Ning Cheng knew that Yin Kongchan had also read some of Aaron City’s laws. Aaron City was extremely strict in convicting people of robbing their daughters. Even though the other party was a prince, he could not rob them openly like this. Even if they were to rob, they had to do it in a secluded place so that no one would know about it.
“Can you let me have these two women for whatever price you want, I can agree to it.” The face of the man on the unicorn changed a few times before he said in a harmonious voice.
Ning Cheng knew that in the laws of Aaron City, transferring one’s women was a legal act. As long as both parties agreed, he knew that it was impossible for the two women to follow this prince there, so he simply said directly, “I’m not in the habit of transferring my own woman yet.”
The man did not get angry and still nodded, not continuing to talk about Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie, but only said, “I heard Ma’ang say that you alone cut up all the algae yuan tendons he obtained from the white-clothed ghost lake?”
Hearing these words, Ning Cheng then saw Ma Ang who was hiding in the distance. In his heart, he already understood what this person was doing here, it looked like he was not here to ask for Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie, nor was he looking for trouble with himself, but rather valued his ability to cut algae yuan tendons.
“Not bad, I am a martial artist who has practiced a tendon-splitting hand that can easily cut through the algae tendons. It’s just that there aren’t many algae Yuan tendons left in that white-clothed ghost lake.” Ning Cheng replied.
The man waved his hand and said, “It’s not that I want you to go to the White-Clothed Ghost Lake, but there is another thing that I need you to help with. If you agree, I won’t treat you badly.”
Ning Cheng said in a faint voice, “The three of us are having trouble even making a living right now, and the officer from the Law Tribunal was just about to take us back and lock us up, so as for the other favor, I will at least wait until I have a better life before considering it.”
“Aiya, Brother Ning, I’ve been busy these few days, I didn’t have time to bring you your share of gold coins until today, I’m really sorry, sorry ……” Ma Ang, who had been shrinking at the back, heard Ning Cheng talking about the difficulty of living, rushed forward and with a smile on his face, he put ten gold tickets in Ning Cheng’s hand.
Ning Cheng took a look at them, they were all in denominations of one thousand each, he was not polite, he directly put the gold tickets away and said, “Then thank you brother Ma.”
Only after saying that did he ask again, “I wonder what kind of help the prince needs from me.”
Of course, Ning Cheng knew that the reason why Ma Ang gave the golden ticket was because the prince was introduced by him, and in case he turned his back on him, he would be left in the lurch, and at the same time, this fellow was also afraid that he would sue. In fact, even if Ma Ang did not give the gold coins, Ning Cheng would not go for such a thing.
“In a place ten thousand miles away from Aaron City, there is a mountain called Abandoned Spirit Mountain. The place I am going to is the Abandoned Spirit Mountain. It is because there is something on the Abandoned Spirit Mountain that is so hard that it will not be half as weak as that Algae Yuan Tendon. So I need you to help me, and if I can succeed, I will report to the city lord and make you a third-rank noble and reward you with a million gold coins.” As the man spoke, his eyes kept staring at Ning Cheng.
“We are willing to go.” To Ning Cheng’s surprise, for the first time, Yin Kongchan took the initiative to answer for Ning Cheng.
It was not the first day that Ning Cheng and Yin Kongchan had met, and knew that this woman would not say anything without a reason, and since she said to go, then there was a reason.
“I’m certainly happy to serve the prince. It’s just that I don’t know when we’ll be leaving, so I can prepare for it as well.” Ning Cheng immediately responded.
The man on the unicorn once again stared deeply at Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan before he slowly said, “That place inside the Abandoned Spirit Mountain is difficult to find, so go and prepare, we will leave in three days.”
……
“Yin Kongchan, why did you agree to go to the Abandoned Spirit Mountain?” After returning to his residence, Ning Cheng immediately asked.
Yin Kongchan said in a low voice, “From what I have inquired outside, there are often people in the Abandoned Lands who find ways to leave. And there is only one place to leave, and that is the Abandoned Spirit Mountain. On the Abandoned Spirit Mountain, there is a door called the Kai Spirit Gate. Although abandoned and qi have the same sound, they don’t mean the same thing.”
“Are you saying that you can go out through the Qi Ling Gate?” Ning Cheng asked in a hurry.
Yin Kongchan gave a hmph, “That’s right, but the Qi Ling Gate is hard to find, and it often changes location. But no matter how it changes, it will still be in the Abandoned Spirit Mountain. I have heard that it is extremely difficult to open the Gate of Enlightenment, once someone brought an army of a city over to open it, but the army’s soldiers were all used up in blood sacrifices, and the Gate of Enlightenment still did not open. By the time he thought of another way, that Enlightenment Gate had already changed its location.”
“How do you know so well?” Ning Cheng looked at Yin Kongchan suspiciously, it was reasonable to say that these secrets were not something that a commoner could know, let alone Yin Kongchan who had just arrived here.
Xu Yingdie suddenly said from the side, “There is a person in the market who comes to our stall every day to buy embroidery, and every time, she talks to her for half a day. She heard about it from that person, who seems to be from a very simple background and cares a lot about Yin Kongchan. It’s probably because he’s taken a liking to her.”
Yin Kongchan sighed, “Xu Yingdie, even if you are in love with Ning Cheng, your intelligence can’t drop this far, right? I would like a person here? Even if I can’t go out, I can still marry Ning Cheng, it’s not like it’s said here that a person can only marry one.”
Ning Cheng waved his hand, stopping the two from speaking, and continued to ask, “Yin Kongchan, is there any other news?”
Yin Kongchan also ignored Xu Yingdie and turned to Ning Cheng, “I suspect that that prince wants you to participate just to help him open the Spirit Enlightenment Gate and get out of the Abandoned Land. The Enlightened Spirit Gate is very difficult to find, and in this place where there is no divine sense, it would definitely take a very great deal of effort to find the Enlightened Spirit Gate in the Abandoned Spirit Mountain. It was because of this that I said we must go after that prince found the Enlightened Spirit Gate. Otherwise, by ourselves, we will definitely not be able to find it in the short term.”
“I understand, these silver tickets you guys go and buy some things, I also need to continue my cultivation.” Ning Cheng placed the silver tickets on the table and once again went inside.
As long as his divine sense could extend some more, he could open the ring, and once he opened it, with the cooperation of the pills and spirit stones, the power that imprisoned his Sea of Consciousness and Dan Lake would be blasted away directly by him.
With 10,000 taels of gold coins, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie obviously did not need to continue going to the stall. The two tacitly agreed to take five each and each went to purchase something.
Only when he felt the two leave the room did Ning Cheng put his mind down, and just as he was about to go all out to strike the Purple Mansion, the door to the room was unexpectedly opened once again.
“Do you need something?” Ning Cheng looked at Yin Kongchan suspiciously, under normal circumstances, Yin Kongchan would rarely come to his room on his own initiative.
Yin Kongchan sat down opposite Ning Cheng and hesitated for a while before saying, “Ning Cheng, you have saved me several times, and I feel that this time we will get something out of going to the Abandoned Spirit Mountain. So there are some things that I want to talk to you about, whether you believe me or not.”
Ning Cheng nodded his head, “Go ahead.”
“This time, if we could go out, when we meet again, we probably wouldn’t be sitting together so breezily to catch up. You are a very affectionate person, if I must look for a Daoist partner, or I will choose you.”
Ning Cheng interrupted Yin Kongchan’s words with a wave of his hand, “I have a fiancée, so don’t talk about a daoist couple. It doesn’t matter if you talk to that prince, don’t talk about it in front of me. I don’t like hypocritical people.”
Yin Kongchan said, “Then I’ll be honest, you should be careful of Xu Yingdi. She may be in love with you, but it is definitely not from her heart; her gongfu is swaying her. I know the Zhangyi Daoist Clan too well, they cut off love and have no righteousness.”
Seeing Ning Cheng’s silence, Yin Kongchan once again said, “It is easy to know if she is truly for you, you just need to choose a time to really double-cultivate with her once to find out. The women of the Emotion-Cutting Dao Sect, once they have really double-cultivated with someone, they will never be able to cut their emotions again. They do it when you desperately want to have a double-cultivation with her, or when you are most in love with her. Because, they will never really have sex with someone, and once they do, they can’t cut it off again.”
Ning Cheng did not know at all when Yin Kongchan had left. A scene came to his mind, and Xu Yingdie’s instant white hair made him throb and even chill a little. Xu Yingdie did not hesitate to plunge a knife in his place, making him feel the kind of determination Xu Yingdie gave for him. When he was practising the Clasping Yang divine Power, Yin Kongchan was hesitant, but Xu Yingdie was willing to help him without hesitation.
What he had in his heart was either gratitude or the desire to find the frost buds and give them to Xu Yingdie.
What really tugged at his heartstrings was the sight of Xu Yingdie in the market, covered in blood, beaten on the ground and clutching a few pieces of embroidery in her hands.
In this scene he saw himself at a time when he was struggling to survive, and he saw Xu Yingdi, the most unusual and closest to him. This Xu Yingdie made him feel a touch of reality, completely different from the Xu Yingdie who had blocked the sword for him and willingly burned her life for him.
That moment, so ordinary, so real in flesh and blood, that panicked expression, was definitely not something that could be faked.
Ning Cheng sighed and was no longer in the mood to cultivate. Whether Xu Yingdie was real or not, after he got out, he would stay away from this place, he did not like such truths and lies.
