“Senior ……” What Ning Cheng didn’t expect was that this Broken Star cultivator behind him called out to him, and his tone was very respectful.
Ning Cheng stopped and looked at this Shattered Star Cultivator who was already white haired and asked, “You are looking for me?”
This Broken Star Cultivator hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, “My junior’s name is Eku, if senior is a friend of Miss and is really returning with something for Miss, please follow junior.”
Ning Cheng directly sacrificed the Starry Sky Wheel and let this Broken Star Cultivator stand on the Starry Sky Wheel before saying, “If the young lady you are talking about is Miss Yu Qing, then you can lead the way.”
No matter who the other party wanted to be, Ning Cheng was not afraid. With his current cultivation level, even if several Eternal Realm cultivators surrounded him, he would be able to walk away gracefully even if he couldn’t defeat them.
“Yes.” This Shattered Star Cultivator hurriedly answered.
Chasing Ox controlled the Starry Sky Wheel, and with this Broken Star Cultivator guiding him, he was soon far away from Yu’s Corner.
More than an hour later, the Starry Sky Wheel stopped at an open-air workshop.
This market was very low-level, and the highest cultivator in it was only at the Star Bridge realm, and very few of them. Most of the cultivators were below the Star Bridge and only at the Star Peeping stage.
Eku led Ning Cheng around seven corners and arrived at a corner of the bazaar. There were no shops here, only some makeshift and humble cave houses.
When I say humble, it was not because these cave houses were not well made, but because the starry sky Yuan Qi in these cave houses was extremely scarce and could not be considered as a good place to cultivate at all. Ning Cheng estimated that if he cultivated in such a place, without external help, even if he cultivated for 10,000 years, I was afraid that he would not be able to advance to the Eternal Realm.
Eku stopped in front of a cave. Eku had not yet opened the cave’s prohibitions. Ning Cheng had already seen the situation in the cave mansion. There was only one person in the cave mansion. And it was someone Ning Cheng knew.
The young girl who was with Yu Qing at the beginning who liked to talk too much and cause trouble, Ning Cheng only knew that her name was Si Si. However, at this moment, Si Si’s face was haggard, her hair was a little messy, and she looked more than ten years older than before. Her cultivation level was hovering at Shattered Star, and it looked like she was still regressing.
Seeing Si Si, a feeling of affection welled up in Ning Cheng’s heart. Si Si was someone close to Yu Qing, and Ning Cheng treated Yu Qing differently, so he also looked at Si Si differently.
Eku opened the cave’s restrictions. Ning Cheng instructed Chasing Ox to keep watch outside and followed Eku into the cave.
“Si Si, this senior said that he was a friend of Miss ……,” Eku said hurriedly as soon as he entered.
Si Si raised her head blankly and looked at Ning Cheng, then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes as she interrupted Eku and said, “You are …… right, your name is Ning Cheng, Sister Qing and I have talked about it, how did you come here?”
After the words were all said, Si Si then remembered what Eku had said before. Hurriedly, she asked again, “Senior Brother Ning. Have you seen Sister Qing afterwards?”
Ning Cheng turned back to Eku and said, “Eku, go out for a while, I want to speak to Senior Sister Si Si alone.”
“Good.” Eku bowed very respectfully and withdrew from the room.
“How did you come here? Didn’t Sister Qing say that you had fallen in the Time Wasteland? Originally, Sister Qing sought your cooperation, but then there was no half-hearted news of you before she worked with another person.” When Si Si saw Ning Cheng, a half-familiar person, she seemed to be talking more again. She hadn’t reacted for a while, completely missing how Ning Cheng had found Eku.
Ning Cheng sighed and looked at Si Si and said, “I’m sorry Si Si, I lied to Yu Qing, in fact, the Wanderer is my alias. Yu Qing has entered the Time Desolate Domain again, also because of me ……”
The second time Yu Qing entered the Time Wasteland because of the Wanderer, this Si Si already knew. She even knew that Sister Qing had fallen in love with the Wanderer who had carried her for several years and never abandoned her in life or death. She hadn’t even thought that Ning Cheng was the Wanderer, and that Ning Cheng hadn’t fallen, but had come out of the Time Desolate Domain.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Si Si was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did she suddenly understand, pointing at Ning Cheng and stammering, “You, you …… I understand, you are the Jiangzhou Wanderer, the Jiangzhou Wanderer who rushed to the top of the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower.”
If Ning Cheng did not say this name of him being a wanderer, even if Si Si knew that the person who had climbed to the top of the Star Peeping Tower was called the Jiangzhou Wanderer, she would not have thought of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng nodded his head, “Yes, I am the Jiangzhou Wanderer.”
Si Si’s shock only lasted for a moment before she once again declined and her tone became unusually low, “Sister Qing has such a good eye, she once said that the person she likes must be outstanding and must be ranked number one even in the Star Peeping Tower. Although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, you ascended to the eighty-first floor of the Star Peeping Tower …… Unfortunately, Sister Qing is no longer around ……”
Si Si said halfway through, her tone suddenly changed, and was even more downbeat and sad.
Ning Cheng said in a slow voice, “Si Si, when Yu Qing knew me, I was just an ordinary wanderer. When she fell in love with me, I hadn’t climbed to the eighty-first floor of the Stargazing Tower either. The reason she said that was because she didn’t want some people to keep bothering her. She is a person of nature and a good woman ……”
Si Si sighed, “Since I was little, I have been with Sister Qing. I’ve never met a kinder person than Sister Qing. You know what? That time in the Rest House in Whirling Jade City, Sister Qing asked me to splash you all over the liquor to actually save you. The white-clothed celestial-degree cultivator who targeted you was a demon who loved to devour cultivators’ spiritual roots. He made a divine sense mark on you, and Sister Qing wanted to help you.”
Thinking that Yu Qing was no longer there, Si Si could say no more.
“I know.” Ning Cheng’s tone was also a little despondent, if he could, he would rather use any price to get Yu Qing back.
“You should hurry and remember not to let anyone know that you are a Jiangzhou Wanderer. If someone knows that you are a Jiangzhou Wanderer, someone might take over your body. I can’t protect myself now, and there is nothing I can do to help you.” Under the great change, Si Si’s heart had changed too much. If it was before, she would have definitely put the blame for Yu Qing’s fall entirely on Ning Cheng’s shoulders. And now, all she wanted was for Ning Cheng to leave quickly. Sister Qing had sacrificed her life to save this person, she did not want to let Sister Qing down.
Ning Cheng did not leave, he calmed himself down and said, “Si Si, tell me what is going on? Why are you hiding here?”
Eku did not say the words that Ning Cheng had come to deliver something for Yu Qing, before he was interrupted by Si Si. Si Si’s mind was confused right now and she hadn’t thought too much about Ning Cheng coming here. She knew that Ning Cheng was someone that Sister Qing liked, and now that Ning Cheng asked, she didn’t hide it, “Soon after Sister Qing left, Aunt Lan fell in the Twin Tower Mound ……”
“Who is Aunt Arashi? And where is Twin Pagoda Mound?” Ning Cheng immediately asked.
“Aunt Arashi is Sister Qing’s master, and I also followed Aunt Arashi in her training. The Twin Pagoda Mound is a place of trial outside the Central Heaven Star Continent, when Aunt Arashi went to the Twin Pagoda Mound, she had just advanced to the late stage of the Life and Death realm. It wasn’t that the Twin Pagodas Mound was too dangerous that made Aunt Arashi fall, but because of Kapil, the dog thief. This dog thief killed Aunt Arashi ……,” Si Si said, even gritting her teeth at the end.
“Who is Kap Le again? How could he kill Aunt Lan who was at the late stage of the Life and Death realm?” Ning Cheng’s tone rose a little.
Si Si did not hear the difference in Ning Cheng’s tone and explained to himself, “Kap Le is a dog of the Heart Piercing House with an early Eternal Realm cultivation.”
Ning Cheng was even more puzzled as he asked, “If the Heart Piercing House had thoughts about Yu’s Corner, he would have destroyed it with a raised hand, right, so why would he send Kapler to do it?”
Si Si shook her head, “No, Kap Le killed Aunt Lan solely because of Yu Clan Horn’s despicable villainy. There is a vicious woman in Yu’s corner called Bao Yingge, and she was the one who sent Kapler to do it. After she instigated Kap Le to kill Aunt Lan, she then falsely accused Aunt Yan of losing her virtue, and when Aunt Yan was stripped of her cultivation and locked into the water prison by the Yu Clan, the two of her sisters took Aunt Lan’s Yuan Qi futon the first time.”
“So Bao Yingge did this poisonous act because of that Yuan Qi futon? Bao Yingge is not surnamed Yu, how can she do wrong in Yu’s corner? Besides, why didn’t Yu Qing’s father come out and speak up?” Ning Cheng’s tone became even more cold and stern. When something happened to Yu Qing, he couldn’t just ignore the matter of Yu Qing’s master and mother.
Si Si sighed again, “Sister Qing’s father’s name is Yu Yue Chen, when Sister Qing’s mother Shen Mengyan and Bao Yingge both fell in love with Sister Qing’s father. But Sister Qing’s father only chose Aunt Yan, and shortly after Sister Qing’s birth, Sister Qing’s father left the Midheaven Starlands once. After that, he never came back. Sister Qing was brought up by Aunt Lan and Aunt Smoke.”
Ning Cheng was even more puzzled, “Since Bao Yingge was not chosen by Sister Qing’s father, how could she snatch the Yuan Qi Pope at Yu’s Corner?”
Si Si explained, “Because Bao Yingge’s also has an older sister named Bao Lingling, who is the daoist partner of Yu Xingxian, the Elder of Yu Clan’s Corner City. With an early cultivation level at the Life and Death realm, Yu Xingxian is one of the most important figures in the Yu Clan, and even more so, he controls the cultivation resources of the Yu Clan, and has a very high status in Yu Clan Horn City.”
“Is it called this woman, with a Heavenly Plane Realm cultivation?” As Ning Cheng spoke, he raised his hand and drew an image of the void.
Seeing the image drawn by Ning Cheng, Si Si said in shock, “That’s her, Senior Brother Ning, how do you know about this woman?”
Ning Cheng waved away the image and said, “Because I just came from Yu’s Corner City, I was commissioned by Yu Qing to deliver an item to Aunt Yan, and as a result, I didn’t even enter Yu’s Corner City.”
When Si Si heard Ning Cheng’s words, she excitedly grabbed Ning Cheng’s hand, “Senior Brother Ning, you have seen Sister Qing? Sister Qing is alright?”
Ning Cheng’s tone dropped, “I’m sorry Si Si, I also entered the Time Desolate Domain once afterwards and met Yu Qing in the Time Desolate Domain, she left behind a Purple Jade and asked me to bring it to her mother.”
Si Si put down her hand somewhat bewildered after hearing Ning Cheng’s words. She did not know how difficult it was to enter the Time Desolate Domain again, she only knew that Sister Qing could enter, so naturally Ning Cheng could also enter.
Only after a while did she murmur, “No wonder you were able to come here, I asked Eku to stay at Yu’s Corner. It was because I wanted to wait for a friend of Aunt Yan’s to come to Aunt Yan and ask her friend to help save her, I didn’t expect that Eku would bring you here.”
Ning Cheng clenched his fist, “Si Si, you are right, now you will go with me to save Aunt Yan.”
“Ah ……” Si Si looked at Ning Cheng in disbelief, “What did you say?”
