Eddie cupped his fist expressionlessly and said, “I will definitely bring Sovereign Ning’s words to you, farewell.”
After saying this, Eddy turned around and left. Suo Zihui hurriedly clasped her fist and saluted Ning Cheng and the others, and followed Eddy swiftly away.
“Many thanks, Sovereign Ning.” After Eddy left, Xu Gu was the first to come before Ning Cheng and bowed in thanks. If it wasn’t for Ning Cheng, it was a minor matter that she was being hailed. What was important was that the Man Lun Imperial Mountain was about to be forcibly opened, and no matter if the Man Lun Emperor returned or not, she would be sorry for the Man Lun Emperor once such a thing happened.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “Brother Man Lun and I have known each other since we first met, these are matters that are within our duties. Now I have some business with this Brother Duan, so you go and get busy.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng looked at Duan Gantai with a smile, “Brother Duan, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, we must catch up this time, please.”
Duan Gantai, who had previously forced Ning Cheng to go and catch up, suddenly changed his tone and fell behind Ning Cheng, extending his hand and said, “Of course, Brother Ning will be the first to invite you, my junior brother will just follow behind.”
Xu Gu saw the opportunity and retreated, the Yue Clan had been chased away by Ning Cheng and she indeed had many things to do. As long as Ning Cheng’s words today were told, absolutely no one would dare to covet the Man Lun Starry Sky again. In the absence of the Man Lun Emperor, her task was to stabilise the Man Lun Starry Sky. If not, she would also have to stabilise the Man Lun Starlands.
However, before she left the Man Lun Star Resting House, she would have to order someone to serve Ning Cheng well.
Even without Xu Gu’s instructions, the Manxing Rest House did not dare to neglect Ning Cheng, and the head waiter of the Rest House had long since invited the two into the best private room in the Manxing Rest House.
……
“I wonder what brother Duan is looking for me for? I had just arrived at Tianji City when Brother Duan arrived, what a coincidence.” Ning Cheng said with a smile as he sat down.
Duan Gantai despised Ning Cheng in his heart, secretly thinking that if you didn’t look for me, I could find you? But out of his mouth, he laughed and said, “I have been in seclusion recently, and as soon as I came out, I sensed Brother Ning’s trail. I hadn’t seen Brother Ning for a long time, so I missed him and came to pay him a visit. By the way, I’d like to get back my Time Eternal Hope Key.”
Ning Cheng frowned? Puzzled, he asked, “Brother Duan, you left your Time Eternal Hope Key in Tianji City?”
Duan Gantai laughed dryly twice, “Brother Ning is joking. Last time I placed the Time Eternal Hope Key on Brother Ning as collateral, doesn’t Brother Ning remember?”
“Oh, Brother Duan is talking about this matter, naturally I remember. However, I’m afraid that Brother Duan has just misspoken, that Time Eternal Hope Key was exchanged by me for the extremely fine Mo Xiang Yi Wine. How can Brother Duan say it’s yours?”
Naturally, Duan Gantai would not be choked by Ning Cheng’s words, he slapped his head and said, “Alas, look at my unclear words, it would be better to take out the crystal ball.”
As he spoke, Duan Gantai had already taken out a crystal ball, which was excited and clearly displayed Duan Gantai’s words, ‘…… In order to make Brother Ning believe in me, I am placing the third key of the Hall of Time on Brother Ning as well… …”
After playing this crystal ball recording. Duan Gantai chuckled, ”Brother Ning, what I said before was placed on Brother Ning, not that it was given to Brother Ning. I’m often like Brother Ning, sometimes I accidentally misremember things.”
Ning Cheng gave a eek and said, “Brother Duan, why are the words in front of this crystal ball missing? It seems like there is something missing. I remember that I returned the real Mo Xiang Yi to Brother Duan, could it be that Brother Duan wants to disown it?”
Duan Gantai looked at the crystal ball and also said in amazement, “Huh. It’s really like that. Alas, my cultivation is regressing more and more, I can’t even record a crystal ball properly.”
After saying that, Duan Gantai tapped the crystal ball a few more times. The crystal ball was like a bad circuit contact, and after Duan Gantai tapped it a few times, another recording appeared. Duan Gantai in the crystal ball said, ‘…… Three pots of Mo Xiang Yi is better than nothing, thanks to Brother Ning for giving it to me for free.’ Ning Cheng followed and said, ”Good talk. Well said, it’s a small matter.”
After Duan Gantai finished releasing this crystal ball, he put it away and patted his head, ”Aiya, it turns out that Mo Xiang Yi was given to me for free by Brother Ning, I’ll always remember it in my heart. Of course, if Brother Ning feels that what he thought at the time was inappropriate, I will listen to Brother Ning and try my best to get that Mo Xiang Yi back and return it to Brother Ning.”
Ning Cheng laughed coldly in his heart, these two paragraphs were clearly not the content of a single transaction, this guy was really sinister. He was sure that the conversation between him and Duan Gantai now, Duan Gantai also had the crystal ball recording. As long as he backtracked, this crystal ball would flow out uncounted in the future. Even if he wasn’t afraid, his reputation would be in disrepute.
“Aiya, I gave back Mo Xiang Yi wine to Brother Duan?” Ning Cheng said in surprise.
Duan Gantai nodded cautiously and said, “Yes, I am very grateful for Brother Ning’s gift, I am truly grateful.”
“Brother Duan is so thankful, then the Mo Xiang Yi wine I gave Brother Duan must also be truly good and genuine?” Ning Cheng said with a smile.
Duan Gantai felt that this statement was somewhat inappropriate, as he had said thank you before, he could only say, “Yes, the Mo Xiang Yi wine that Brother Ning gave me are all truly good and genuine.”
Ning Cheng chuckled and said, “So that’s the case, it’s just that Brother Duan’s level of recording crystal balls is indeed very poor. It’s a good thing that I also have a crystal ball, so Brother Duan can take a look at it as well.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng raised his hand and struck a crystal ball, on which the words of Duan Gantai were clearly recorded, ‘…… Brother Ning, if you have a real Mo Xiang Yi wine, even if you give me a pot. What I have on me is also at Brother Ning’s disposal …… Brother Ning, I will definitely give you the Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spiritual Veins. Although I don’t have it now, after I take Mo Xiang Yi wine over to my friend, I will be able to get the Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spiritual Veins ……’
The crystal ball was similarly somewhat missing, but the things recorded were all the various promises made by Duan Gantai. He would give these promises as long as he got Ning Cheng’s Mo Xiyi Wine.
After reading Ning Cheng’s crystal ball, Duan Gantai slapped his head again and said, ”Oops, I said that there were missing things in my records. I will immediately take half of the Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spirit Veins for Brother Ning, how can I let Brother Ning suffer.”
Ning Cheng stopped Duan Gantai’s movements, “Brother Duan, you are talking about half a Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spiritual Vein, but I don’t seem to have promised it.”
Duan Gantai secretly hated in his heart, back then he had not cared about any conditions in order to obtain Mo Xiang Yi. He also knew that there was no point in taking out the crystal ball again, as he could take it out, Ning Cheng could do the same. Just as Ning Cheng had said, the half of the Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spirit Vein that he had proposed, Ning Cheng had never agreed to it at all. This fellow had really planned ahead and knew that he would definitely have to come back and beg him.
Ning Cheng indeed knew that Duan Gantai would come to beg him, with Duan Gantai leaving the Time Eternal Hope Key and taking away Mo Xiang Yi in such a crisp and decisive manner, what he was after would definitely be no worse than the Time Hall. Otherwise, how would a character like Duan Gantai do such a loss taking thing?
It was because of this that Ning Cheng did not ask for exactly how much he wanted, he was not afraid that Duan Gantai would backtrack. What he did not expect was that Duan Gantai, like him, had also recorded the crystal ball and was even more sinister than him. He had actually mixed up the two transactions and falsified them.
“Brother Ning, let’s open up the sky and talk about it. Do you want an entire Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spirit Vein?” Duan Gantai had not been able to pit himself against Ning Cheng, so he simply spoke directly. He was in a hurry to go to the Great Starry Sky of the Demon Domain and was going to purchase the Starry Sky Root Chi.
“One piece? Oh, Brother Duan I’ve pushed you with no heart and soul. But then I felt something was wrong when I thought about it, Brother Duan asked me to go to the Time Hall and I was so excited. I was so excited when you asked me to go to the Hall of Time, but then you took away my Mo Xiang Yi, and it occurred to me that you were just trying to amuse me. There is nothing more to say between Brother Duan and I. Today, the two of us will part ways.” After saying that, Ning Cheng directly stood up.
Duan Gantai hurriedly said with a smile on his face, “Brother Ning, I have always sincerely befriended Brother Ning, how could I be amusing Brother Ning? Brother Ning misunderstood, misunderstood.”
How could he possibly have Ning Cheng walk away? If Ning Cheng walked away, what would happen to the Time Temple? He had obtained so many things in the Hall of Shadows, and the things inside the Hall of Time would definitely not be less than the Hall of Shadows. If this kind of chance was given to Ning Cheng and he missed out instead, he himself would not forgive himself.
Brother Ning hummed, “Fine, in that case I will tell you, you told me to go to the Time Hall, why did you later tell me that the Time Hall could not be opened? I didn’t even care at the time because I trusted you too much, but now I remembered that it was very wrong in the middle.”
Duan Gantai cursed in his heart, “You trusted me too much at that time? You wanted the third Time Eternal Hope Key too much, that’s why you didn’t think about it, right?
He didn’t dare to say this, but instead said with a smile on his face, “Brother Ning sit down, please forgive me for being confused for a moment. It is because I have a way to enter the Time Hall that I have resorted to this. Don’t worry, Brother Ning, the Time Eternal Hope Key belongs to both of us, and I will definitely share out the way to enter the Time Hall.”
Ning Cheng was wildly happy in his heart, he did not expect that Duan Gantai really had a way to enter the Time Desolate Domain. His previous words were just a chance, and he had really succeeded.
Ning Cheng sat down smoothly and said, “Brother Duan, you just said it wrong, I should say that the way to enter the Time Hall is yours, but the Time Eternal Hope Key is not for the two of us anymore, but for me alone. I heard that Great Emperor Man Lun had the way to enter the Time Hall, so I came here this time, also on purpose to see if Man Lun had returned.”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Duan Gantai’s heart was greatly anxious, what he feared the most was that Ning Cheng had obtained the transmission jade talisman to enter the Time Hall. Ning Cheng had three Time Hall keys, if he had another transmission jade talisman, he wouldn’t even be able to drink the soup.
“Brother Ning, if you don’t trust me, I am willing to place the jade talisman for entering the Time Temple on you. Of course, you will have to place one of the Time Eternal Hope Keys on me.” Duan Gantai said with a straight face.
Earlier, when he was anxious about the Watchtower Hall, he had no choice but to take out the Time Eternal Hope Key and give it to Ning Cheng. Now that he had obtained ninety percent of the Watchtower Divine Hall’s stuff, he naturally had to find a way to retrieve the Time Eternal Hope Key. He was not afraid of the eventuality that the Man Lun Emperor would come back, what would happen then?
