Yue Ying looked at Yong Gu Yun in surprise, she could not imagine that although Yong Gu Yun did not make a move, he was counting on Master Lan to kill Ning Cheng, should she go and call Ning Cheng back?
Lu Xue had never clashed with Ning Cheng head on, one was because Ning Cheng and Le Bo Hong knew each other and she did not want to go too far, at least not in front of Ning Cheng. Another was that she knew that deep down, An Yi was still very dependent on Ning Cheng. Therefore, she did not even tell An Yi about the news of Ning Cheng’s death. It just didn’t occur to her that not only had Ning Cheng not died, but he had followed her to Southern Plains City as if he was an anointed person.
At this moment, when she saw Yue Ying’s expression, she hurriedly said, “Senior Sister Yue Ying, in fact, Senior Sister Gu Yun did not do anything wrong. A person like Ning Cheng would indeed have killed more innocent young girls if he had stayed. Take you for example, if you hadn’t entered Ming Xin Academy, you might have even been cheated by him.”
Yue Ying blushed slightly and did not argue this time. If her brother had found Ning Cheng, perhaps she would really go and thank him. Wouldn’t they get to know each other once and for all that way? What’s more, she didn’t have any antipathy towards Ning Cheng at all. On the contrary, Ning Cheng’s slightly vicissitudes aura made her appreciate it even more.
……
Ning Cheng accelerated his speed and soon arrived at the Grand Plaza again while squeezing into the crowd.
This time Ning Cheng could see clearly, he saw An Yi sitting at the edge of the podium at a glance, apart from An Yi, there were also Yu Hongfeng and Yue Yuanyuanhua. Compared to Yue Yuanhua and Yu Hongfeng, An Yi was a little haggard, sitting there with her head bowed as if she had a heavy heart.
However, Ning Cheng put his heart down, An Yi was already at the sixth level of Qi gathering at this time, once this pure spirit root was specially cultivated, the speed of advancement was really swift. Ning Cheng himself knew his own business, if he hadn’t had hundreds of spirit stones and found a spiritual spring, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to advance to the eighth Qi gathering layer in half a year.
This showed that An Yi was definitely a pure wood spirit root without a doubt, and had a good status too. At least An Yi no longer needed him to worry, Ning Cheng panted and did not remain here, but turned around and accelerated his speed towards the door.
As long as An Yi was indeed a pure spirit root, then An Yi’s path behind him would definitely be smooth all the way, and there was no need for him to worry about it at all. From now on, all he had to do was to put himself in charge.
Ning Cheng had not even reached the entrance when he stopped. He saw that the gate was closed at this time, with only a side door to go out, while the two people who wanted to go out were stopped by that gate guard. Ning Cheng saw from afar that the two people who had been stopped had talked to the gatekeeper for half a day, but ended up turning back resentfully.
“Two friends, is it not allowed to go out here?” Ning Cheng hurriedly stopped the two people who turned back and asked.
“All those who are not from Ming Xin Academy are not allowed to leave until after the selection.” One of them said to Ning Cheng without good grace, he could see that Ning Cheng was not from the Bright Heart Academy either.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank as he was thinking of what way he could get out through, when suddenly a clear voice came, “Ning Xiaocheng, let’s go, accompany me on a trip out ah.”
Ning Cheng turned around and saw Su Zhu’s extremely bright smile, he was instantly delighted in his heart and hurriedly said, “Of course you can.”
Su Zhu naturally took Ning Cheng’s hand and stepped up a few steps, and only when he was almost at the door did he say, “You know what? Senior Sister Lu Xue asked me to help her go to the Flying Swallow Pill Pavilion to purchase something. Let me tell you, Senior Sister Lu Xue will definitely be able to go to the Hua Continent this time, and she might be selected by the Five Star Academy. As long as Senior Sister Lu Xue is selected by the Five Star Academy, she definitely won’t forget about me when she comes back in the future.”
Ning Cheng was a little baffled when he heard this, he was sure that Lu Xue would not ask Su Zhu to purchase something. Lu Xue’s attitude when she saw Su Zhu was simply disgusted at the sight of the four vermin, how could she possibly ask Su Zhu to help her go and purchase something?
The two of them had already walked to the door by now, and Su Zhu didn’t even wait for the doorman to speak before she took the initiative to greet him with a smile, “Brother Han, there are a lot of people today, you should have a hard time. By the way, I’m going to have a bit of business.”
The doorman had seen Su Zhu before, he didn’t expect Su Zhu to know his surname was Han, so he hurriedly replied, “It’s not hard, take your time.”
As the doorman spoke, Su Zhu had already pulled Ning Cheng out of the gate of Ming Xin Academy.
Su Zhu’s footsteps were quick, and she quickly led Ning Cheng through Ming Pu Square.
Ning Cheng already understood that Su Zhu was doing him a favour by taking him out of Ming Xin Academy. Although Ning Cheng did not know how Su Zhu knew that he was leaving Ming Xin Academy, he was still grateful in his heart, and even said somewhat unkindly, “Senior Sister Su, I am actually not from Ming Xin Academy ……”
Not waiting for Ning Cheng to finish, Su Zhu interrupted Ning Cheng, “Don’t talk about that ah, you hurry up and go, I heard Yong Gu Yun say to tell Master Lan.”
Ning Cheng did not explain any further as he cupped his fist and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister Su, if Senior Sister Su can abandon her chores and cultivate at ease, she will not necessarily fail to advance to Condensed Truth. This is given to Senior Sister as a thank you, I will leave first.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng stuffed a small parcel into Su Zhu’s hand, turned around and quickly disappeared.
Su Zhu looked at Ning Cheng’s disappearing back, and a hint of despondency suddenly appeared on her face. Could she not know what Ning Cheng meant when he said that he should abandon his chores and cultivate at ease? She suddenly remembered the time when she had just arrived at Ming Xin Academy. She had been cheated on, slept with someone, and then broken, only to be looked down upon more and more.
As far as she was concerned, she still had a year to go, and if she couldn’t advance to the seventh Qi gathering level within a year, she would no longer be a student of the Bright Heart Academy.
Su Zhu’s heart suddenly felt a little empty, even she herself did not know why she had to help Ning Cheng. Or maybe it was because Ning Cheng had helped her with her words.
She lowered her head and looked at the small packet in her hand, when suddenly a faint aura emanated from inside the packet. Su Zhu’s heart tightened and she hurriedly opened the parcel to have a look. When she saw the contents of the parcel, she froze, there were actually a dozen spirit stones inside the small parcel.
……
“Master Lan, I saw that Ning Cheng just now, he seems to have come to Ming Xin Academy, I guess he wants to find An Yi.” After Yong Gu Yun arrived at the square, he found a free moment and hurriedly reported the news that Ning Cheng had come here to Lan Yingyue.
“What?” Lan Yingyue asked in a shocked voice.
Ning Cheng was the one she had forced to jump off the airship by her own hand, how could he possibly appear at Ming Xin Academy? Would he, a Qi gathering fourth level cultivator, have any chance of surviving if he jumped from that kind of high altitude airship?
“Could you have misread it?” Lan Yingyue’s tone calmed down, how could this simply not be possible, how could it happen back?
“There would be no misreading, there is also Senior Sister Lu Xue who saw him, and he clearly stated that he was here to look for Senior Sister An Yi. This man also knows Yue Ying, if Yue Ying hadn’t come to Ming Xin Academy earlier, she might have been tricked by him. I have arranged for Senior Sister Lu Xue to see where he is now.” Yong Gu Yun replied quietly.
A stern glint flashed in Lan Yingyue’s eyes, and her murderous intent was forcibly reined in.
“Master Lan, just now Su Zhu brought Ning Cheng out of Ming Xin Academy. Should we bring Su Zhu in?” Lu Xue hurriedly came over, she had been ordered by Yong Gu Yun to keep an eye on Ning Cheng, but she did not want Ning Cheng to be taken out of Ming Xin Academy by Su Zhu.
The murderous aura in Lan Yingyue’s eyes intensified, and only after a while did she say in a slow voice, “Tell Xue Cong to hold off on killing that Miao Lihu from Mango City. At the same time, tell Miao Lihu that Ning Cheng has appeared in Nan Yuan City and is about to leave the city. When Miao Lihu has killed Ning Cheng, Xue Cong will just have to kill Miao Lihu.”
“I understand.” Yong Gu Yun swept a glance at the emotionally downcast An Yi before quickly walking out. She knew what Master Lan was doing this for.
An Yi was too dependent and pining for Ning Cheng, and once An Yi learnt that it was Master Lan who had killed Ning Cheng one day in the future, she might turn against Master Lan. Master Lan should not have known before that An Yi was so dependent on Ning Cheng, but now that she knew, this was why she had set up the plan to kill him with a borrowed knife.
When Miao Lihu killed Ning Cheng, Xue Cong would then kill Miao Lihu. In this way, An Yi would only be grateful that Xue Cong’s had helped her take revenge.
