“That’s right, I’ve got it. Now that I have two keys, do we need to revisit the distribution of the things inside the Hall of Time?” Ning Cheng said unhurriedly, not explaining that the Time Eternal Hope Key that had arrived had been taken away by someone else again.
Duan Gantai said with the same lack of haste, “Even though you arrived with two keys, it was all due to my efforts. Firstly, if I hadn’t given away so much, the Shui family wouldn’t have chosen me, and you would have given nothing. Second, if I hadn’t inadvertently revealed that I had a Time Eternal Hope Key, people wouldn’t have used the Bodhi Poison Heart and you wouldn’t have had the chance to reckon with Shui Wu Shang. Thirdly, I know where the Hall of Time is and you don’t.”
Ning Cheng knew that Duan Gantai would not be so nice, if Duan Gantai had really calculated that he would do something on Shui Wushuang, this guy was a little too powerful.
“An equal share is fine, but where is the Time Hall, you must tell me now. Cooperation is based on mutual trust, and Brother Duan has also said that we have to cooperate in good faith, right?” Ning Cheng did not expect Duan Gantai to compromise with him either.
To Ning Cheng’s surprise, Duan Gantai took out a jade slip with a straight face and handed it to Ning Cheng, “Brother Ning, it is fortunate that you reminded me, otherwise I would have been really careless and almost caused a misunderstanding between our brothers. Since we must be sincere in our cooperation, this is the jade slip of the Time Hall’s location.”
Ning Cheng was puzzled as he took the jade slip, he thought Duan Gantai was going to push back, but he didn’t expect to tell him the location of the Time Temple so easily, this guy was a little too nice, right? How come he didn’t find Duan Gantai to be so nice before?
Seeing Ning Cheng put away the jade slip, Duan Gantai smiled heatedly, “Brother Ning, with the Water Family’s shrewdness, I’m afraid that they will soon find out what’s wrong with it. Now that the stuff is in hand, I’ll go first.”
After saying that, regardless of whether Ning Cheng agreed or not, Duan Gantai had already dashed out of the house, and Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept over, but surprisingly, not even the slightest trace could be swept.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept into the jade slip and found that the jade slip had a ban on it. Ning Cheng did not take the time to open the jade slip’s ban and similarly left the house in a hurry. He knew that Duan Gantai’s last statement was correct, the Shui Clan would definitely find two fake Time Eternal Hope Keys.
……
“Since you went there, why didn’t you say anything again?” The blue-skirted woman asked as she looked at Tian Muwan, who was standing beside her.
Tian Muwan sighed, “He has changed, he didn’t even dare to take my hand before, but today he ……”
The shy Ning Xiaocheng in her eyes at the beginning was now not only willing to stand behind others as a house servant in a low voice, but he was also so bold with other women in secret.
Tian Muwan did not say anything further after all, but looked at the blue-skirted woman with a hint of pleading and said, “Sister, you said that the rules here are incomplete, can we take him away when we leave?”
The blue-skirted woman looked at Tian Muwan quietly and said in a slow voice, “Muwan, at first you misunderstood that he had two feet in two boats just because you saw her sister wiping the dust for him. You even gave something he gave you to another man and threw it into the sewer in front of him. Why are you helping him today when you see a scene a million times worse than back then?”
Tian Muwan was a bit confused after hearing this, and shook her head for a long time, “I don’t know, maybe I’m not her girlfriend anymore, so I’m not qualified to be angry. Maybe …… I’ve changed too.”
Everyone changes, through the Earth bug wave, through life and death parting, through remorse and regret, through crossing the realm …… what else can’t change?
The blue-skirted female cultivator sighed in her heart and said in a soft tone, “Mu Wan, although I have never fallen in love, I have seen a lot. I think that you and he are not suitable.”
Seeing Tian Muwan reveal a doubtful look, the blue-skirted female cultivator simply said directly, “That Ning Xiaocheng is not a simple person, and I have a vague feeling that he is by no means what you see. There’s a powerful confidence in him, a powerful confidence I’ve only seen in my father.”
“Sister ……” Tian Muwan looked at the blue-skirted female cultivator in shock.
“He is very uncomplicated, and that master of his surname Duan is also uncomplicated. As for your comment about him being a proud man, why would he want to be someone else’s slave, that I am not very clear. But there is one thing I am sure of, there is nothing between him and Shui Wu Shang.” The blue-skirted female cultivator voiced out her guesses.
Tian Muwan was puzzled, “But sister, he was clearly hugging with that female cultivator and, and ……”
The blue-skirted female cultivator smiled faintly, “Muwan, sometimes seeing is not always believing. One misunderstanding can be said to be a misunderstanding, two misunderstandings can only mean that you and he are not suitable for each other. And your heart for him, for now, is more or pity than love.”
Tian Muwan froze in her tracks as she remembered how she and Ning Cheng had met at that coffee shop after Ning Cheng had returned to Earth. From the beginning to the end, she only had pity, or rather pity, for Ning Cheng. Pity and sympathy, definitely not love.
If she really loved Ning Cheng, even if she had cultivated, even if her family’s background was more powerful, even if Ning Cheng was doing poorly, she would not have felt that they were not from the same world anymore, nor would she have felt that it was impossible for them to be together.
When she thought of her thoughts about Ning Cheng in the coffee shop, Tian Muwan suddenly had a heart-rending ridiculousness. Perhaps at that time, Ning Cheng looked at her the same way. No matter how powerful her family background was, could it compare to a powerful cultivator like Ning Cheng? Her third level of Qi gathering was not even worth mentioning in Ning Cheng’s eyes. Instead, she thought that she was standing at the highest place and took out a diamond card to look down on Ning Cheng.
Even though she didn’t mean to, the kind of mentality she had when she took out the diamond bank card was already standing on top of Ning Cheng’s head. Otherwise, with her previous knowledge of Ning Cheng, how could she have done such a thing? Previously, she would rather accompany Ning Cheng to a fly restaurant to eat, but she also wanted to take care of Ning Cheng’s self-esteem.
Today, after she saw Ning Cheng again, she still had that same kind of pity and sympathy. Seeing Ning Cheng forcing his arms around Shui Wushang, she only sighed in her heart, and even those who had wanted to say a few words to Ning Cheng had lost their minds.
Did Ning Cheng need her to feel pity and sympathy? If it wasn’t for her sister, could she have left Earth to start a real cultivation? But Ning Cheng, from the beginning to the end, had always relied on himself. Her sister had said to her that the cultivation world was weak and strong, so what was wrong with Ning Cheng following that Duan’s surname as a household servant?
After Tian Muwan had sorted out her thoughts, her emotions relaxed instead, “Sister, you’re so pretty, don’t you have someone you like?”
The blue-skirted female cultivator shook her head, “Your cultivation level is still low, I’ll explain it to you when you’re a bit higher. As for someone I like, I really haven’t met anyone that can make my heart flutter. I’m not going to condescend to myself just to find a Daoist partner. You shouldn’t dwell on liking or disliking either, you can talk to that Ning guy yourself when he comes over later.”
“Him, he’ll come over?” Tian Muwan looked at the blue-skirted female cultivator in confusion.
The blue-skirted female cultivator nodded affirmatively, “That’s right, he’ll definitely come over.”
She had taken away the key that Ning Cheng had gotten from Shui Wushang in order to get Ning Cheng to come over himself.
“No……” After the blue-skirted female cultivator followed with two more words, she immediately grabbed Tian Muwan and rushed up into the sky. Even so, a raging force still blasted at the center of her feet.
Just as the blue-skirted female cultivator rushed out, a dull explosion sounded from the room she was in before. The sound of the explosion was not very loud, but after the explosion, the room was completely reduced to nothingness. Cracks appeared out of thin air, as if they were spider webs.
The violent impact force bombarded Ning Cheng’s chest, even though Ning Cheng’s domain blocked it in time, he was bombarded with a burst of chest tightness and almost died as a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Ning Cheng was secretly shocked, he knew his own cultivation level very well. Even a cultivator of his level was almost injured by this kind of aftershock, if that blue-skirted female cultivator hadn’t rushed out from inside the house, I was afraid that her fate would be very bad.
Ning Cheng instantly concealed himself, he had indeed come to ask the blue-skirted female cultivator for the key. Unexpectedly, before he had even reached the blue-skirted female cultivator’s house, her house was blown away. Looking at the void cracks in the distance, Ning Cheng secretly screamed in his heart. There was no telling what it was that had caused such a terrifying power. It didn’t look very powerful, yet it had caused such a terrifying void crack, and even the aftershocks were so powerful.
The explosion passed, and before the void cracks had completely merged together, several magic treasures blasted towards the blue-skirted female cultivator.
Ning Cheng, who was hidden on the side, could see clearly that all of those attacking the blue-skirted female cultivator were at the Eternal Realm cultivation level, and they were all cultivators who had participated in the Shui Guangxi Grand Ceremony. Ning Cheng guessed that the Shui Clan would make a move against the blue-skirted female cultivator, he just did not expect it to be so quick.
“Boom boom boom ……” A burst of furious explosions roared over the Water Family, countless explosive rays and lightning mingled together, showing the intensity of the battle.
Explosions and blood mist continued to spill through the air, “Boom boom ……” A figure fell quickly, followed by a sharp clang as a blue arc streaked across the sky.
Ning Cheng saw very clearly that the blue-skirted female cultivator was really powerful. She should have been injured and then hurt again by that dull explosion. Even under such circumstances, six Eternal Realm cultivators surrounded her and she still killed two and seriously injured one.
“She’s seriously injured, hurry up and give chase.” The cultivator who had fallen to the ground shouted shrilly, and in fact didn’t even wait for him to do so, as several others had already chased after him. Perhaps knowing that the blue-skirted female cultivator was a little too badly injured, a dozen more cultivators caught up with her, in addition to the few Eternal Realm cultivators who had chased after her first.
The cultivator who had been blasted down from the air by the blue-skirted female cultivator caught his breath and took out a potion. Not waiting for his elixir to be swallowed, a harsh killing chance locked onto him.
Although he realised in an instant that he was being backstabbed, unfortunately his current situation did not allow him to escape this sneak attack.
“Poof ……” The tip of the gun penetrated the back of his head and came out through his brow. The powerful star yuan and quickly destroyed his meridians to the bone.
“Who are you?” The cultivator let out a reluctant query.
“Passing through to beat the odds.” With a twist of the lance in Ning Cheng’s hand, a ball of flame turned this Eternal Realm cultivator into nothingness, and a ring escaped from the flame and landed in Ning Cheng’s hand.
