Chapter 448 It's Not Your call

The two walked into the study and only saw Ming behind the bookshelf when they reached the bookshelf.

Mu Cheng was still very afraid of this zombie whose strength was unknown. When she saw Ming, she stopped and didn't know whether to stay or retreat.

Two bamboo scrolls flew down from the bookshelf and landed directly in front of Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng hurriedly reached out to catch the bamboo slips. These were antiques, and no matter what books they were, they couldn't be dropped.

Mu Cheng opened one of the bamboo scrolls, "The Secret Art of the Fire Phoenix."

Ming's voice came from behind the bookshelf, "This technique is very suitable for you."

"The Lost Immortal Canon." Mu Cheng flipped open another bamboo scroll. She closed it and asked, "Master Ming, is this the one you chose for my Arnold?"

"Hmm!" Ming hummed and stopped talking.

After thinking for a while, Mu Cheng asked, "Master Ming, can pregnant women eat lotus seeds from the hot spring pool?"

Jiang Mingyue is pregnant, and Mu Cheng doesn't know whether the lotus seeds will affect her, so it's better to ask.

Since Xiaojiu was not around, she could only ask the knowledgeable Ming about this matter.

Ming replied, "Yes, but I advise you not to take these mortals with you to cultivate immortality. Their bodies are not suitable for cultivation. Even if you give them lotus seeds, it will be useless and may even cause them to suffer divine punishment."

"Thank you!" Mu Cheng thanked it and didn't dare to disturb it anymore. She pulled Tang Nuo out. Originally, she did have the idea of having everyone practice with her, so that she and her relatives, as well as Tang Nuo's relatives, could always be together.

But after hearing what Ming said, she immediately gave up her previous idea.

The two walked to the door and were about to leave the study when Ming's voice came from inside the room, "Tang Nuo, Mu Cheng doesn't seem to hold a high position in your heart."

This made Tang Nuo very unhappy. He stopped, turned around and said, "Her position in my heart is not something you can say is high or low."

"Really?" Ming, who was lying on the recliner the moment before, was standing in front of Tang Nuo the next moment. He looked at Tang Nuo expressionlessly.

Tang Nuo was also looking at it, with no expression on their faces, and the powerful Ming Guang was much more imposing than Tang Nuo.

Tang Nuo did not compromise, nor did he show any fear.

After a long while, Ming said, "You are very strong."

"Heh!" Tang Nuo sneered. Didn't he know his own strength?

In Ming's eyes, he and his Cheng'er were just ants that could be easily crushed.

Ming spoke again, "You said you cared about her, but you didn't fulfill your promise, nor did you do anything for the Rui family. Instead, you ran out to find some useless things and do some meaningless things."

"What I want is for the Rui family to be ruined and unable to recover, rather than becoming a joke that will be forgotten after a while." Tang Nuo paused and continued, "And it's not like I didn't do anything."

"That's the best." After saying this, Ming disappeared from Tang Nuo's sight and returned to the recliner.

Coming out of the space, the two of them lay on the recliners and stared at the gate for a while. Seeing no other movement, Mu Cheng asked, "Arnold, did you find anything?"

"I've made some discoveries. This place has a membership system, so only members can enter. Also, the people who come here are all high-ranking officials from the base and some big families. I also saw three acquaintances: Chai Guangtao, Luo Guoping, and Wang Yibing."

Wang Yibing. Mu Cheng was not surprised at all when she heard the name. Wang Yibing was originally a playboy. Moreover, he was Commander Wang's son. It was not impossible for him to run out to have fun.

Mu Cheng asked aloud, "Did Chai Guangtao really betray you?"

"I'm not sure." Tang Nuo shook his head, paused, and then said, "Chai Guangtao was most likely brought in by Luo Guoping. Luo Guoping is close to Commander Wang, but he's a useless parasite who lives on his own and doesn't receive much attention from Commander Wang. So I'm thinking there might be someone else behind this. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that this place is related to Commander Wang."

"Oh!" Mu Cheng nodded to show that he understood, and then said, "You guys go for a while, I'll watch over it."

"There shouldn't be anything during the day, so you don't need to pay too much attention to that side." Tang Nuo smiled and touched Mu Cheng's head. He changed positions with Mu Cheng, then hugged Mu Cheng and closed his eyes to rest.
