Chapter 121 Not Serious Enough

The stone platform is warm. Ning Mingmei opened his five fingers and then clenched them.

This is not Ning Mingmei's illusion, but reality.

He looked up, his eyes flickering slightly. Qi Miancheng looked towards the seventh door with a nonchalant smile.

"Ah, Junior Brother," he said, "The seal of the sword has loosened prematurely. It seems we need to reinforce the seal sooner rather than later."

The head of the sect in white slowly walked towards the door and placed his hand on it: "It's so hot... After hearing about the past, are you so angry?"

Rather than whispering to others, Qi Miancheng's voice sounded more like he was talking to himself.

"Anger...loose." Ning Mingmei struggled to support himself and stood up, "Brother, what does this mean?"

His heart was beating wildly.

thump.

thump.

My back is also swelling... It feels like something is angry, roaring, and trying to break out of my body!

"Come in..." He seemed to hear someone talking in the gate, "Give it back to me...Give my sword bone back to me." '

Qi Miancheng turned around, and Ning Mingmei saw that Qi Miancheng's left eye was slightly red, as if there was a fire flickering in it.

"The sword is of the element of fire. When the seal is loosened, it will ignite a blazing flame that will burn the sky and devour all living things, including the sword holder. Therefore, we used the cold pond to suppress the sword."

"The power of the divine sword can shake the heavens and the earth, but it is difficult for people to control it. In order to prevent it from being used by people with ulterior motives, the Qingji Sect has had four sword-wielding elders in all generations. The responsibility of the sword-wielding elders is to seal the divine sword and assist in controlling the divine sword at critical moments. Mingmei, you are the fourth sword-wielding elder. The frequency of reinforcing the seal is once every ten years."

"But it looks like it will be held earlier this year." Qi Miancheng sighed, "Just after the competition is over - Mingmei, what do you think?"

Ning Mingmei just stared at Qi Miancheng.

"You said the sword was angry... Does the sword have a soul?"

Qi Miancheng picked up the magic weapon he had chosen for Ning Mingmei: "This item is called Wangchuan Heavenly Clothes, and it is woven with silk from the Wangchuan Ice Silkworms in the Ghost Realm. Wangchuan Ice Soul is water in water, and the ice silkworms grow up around the Ice Soul and live on the water of Wangchuan. It is perfect to use it to fight against the Red Lotus Fire in the Red Lotus Banner."

He handed the folded clothes to Ning Mingmei. Ning Mingmei just looked at him coldly.

"Brother, is this question not allowed?"

Qi Miancheng still handed over the robe: "What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"If you can't say anything at all, your performance just now is too artificial. If you really can't answer my question, you wouldn't have mentioned the sword's 'anger' in front of the door." Ning Mingmei said, "Brother, you said the sword is 'angry'. Can you feel the sword's emotions like me?"

Qi Miancheng then laughed.

Qi Miancheng's demeanor has always been as majestic as a mountain or a deep abyss; even when he smiles, he is as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon. But at this moment, this smile made the corners of his lips open little by little.

Those lips were like a crescent drawn on his face.

But his eyes were looking straight at Ning Mingmei. There was no trace of frivolity or playfulness in his eyes.

"If you want to know more information from me... you are not serious enough at the moment."

Ning Mingmei stared at Qi Miancheng for a long time, and after a while, he also smiled.

There was a smile on his lips, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if Qi Miancheng's words made him retract his tentacles.

He said casually, "If you want me to take it seriously, my senior brother is not proactive enough at the moment."

It was as if Qi Miancheng threw a small ball to him, and Ning Mingmei threw it back with a light toss.

"Really?" Qi Mianchang sighed, "It seems that now is not the time."

Qi Miancheng's attitude is very subtle. I would rather be confused.

Qi Miancheng knew that there was an information gap with Ning Mingmei. Therefore, he deliberately brought him here and took this opportunity to deliberately say these words. It seems that Qi Miancheng is both proactive and enthusiastic.

From the perspective of playing cards, Qi Miancheng looked like a very generous opponent - in order to make his strategic game more enjoyable, he began to constantly provoke Ning Mingmei. He explained the rules to him, described common methods and techniques to him, and constantly guided him to look at him in order to arouse Ning Mingmei's interest in him.

The first few points are understandable: Ning Mingmei, who cannot obtain all the information, is not perfect at the moment.

It’s just that last point that’s a bit weird.

Qi Miancheng took Ning Mingmei out of the sixth door. Before leaving, Ning Mingmei took a look at the iron gate and the soul-binding lamp in the ear chamber.

Iron gate confinement. The soul-binding lamp still remained the same as when they arrived, with a faint light.

When the fourth door closed, the forbidden area returned to its icy temperature. Ning Mingmei's wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.

Although he didn't know why the magic sword was "angry", Ning Mingmei knew that the reason for his irregular heartbeat must be because of the "sword bone" in his body.

His "sword bone" was synchronized with the "anger" of the sword.

When the two went out, the disciples guarding the forbidden area were already standing outside. Seeing the two people coming out, the leading disciple said anxiously: "Master, we just discovered that the magic sword is moving abnormally, it is rare to see it in a century..."

"It's just a normal little movement." Qi Miancheng said, "Go tell the elders of the forbidden area that the ten-year sword sealing ceremony will be moved forward to the end of the competition. I will send people to check regularly these days."

The unusual movement of the divine sword is no small matter. But Qi Miancheng's tone was light, and the disciples felt reassured. After they answered "yes", they went downstairs.

The puppet bird also disappeared into the darkness with them.

"It seems that the Soul Binding Lantern of the Qingji Sect is in this forbidden area. Checking the forbidden area regularly for the sake of the magic sword? This is another good opportunity for me." Baimian muttered to himself, "How could it be so smooth... Is it really such a coincidence?"

Ning Mingmei's face flashed through his mind again.

The cloaked woman said that the Qingji Sect would be in chaos. As a result, the Qingji Sect was in chaos because of the Feisi Book and Sprite.

The cloaked woman said there would be a chance to enter the forbidden area. Therefore, as soon as Ning Mingmei entered the forbidden area, he caused the magic sword to fluctuate in a way that was rare in a century. He also created opportunities for people to go in regularly to check on the magic sword and to facilitate the infiltration of spies.

Ning Mingmei stopped him on Piaomiao Peak, but left with only a puzzling sentence "Looking at Emei Peak alone" and left.

Taking a photo of Mount Emei alone… Taking a photo of Mount Emei alone.

Could it be that Emei Peak is Ning Mingmei’s code name?

Now, it’s hard to say that Ning Mingmei is not an undercover agent!

Bai Mian's heart suddenly felt excited... This was something he had never thought of. He couldn't tell whether he was feeling happy, sad, or relieved at the moment.

Ning Mingmei...

He did not become a lackey of a major sect. Ning Mingmei is using his own way to take revenge on those large sects that treat them like straw dogs.

If there was anything that really bothered Baimian, it was the thing Ning Mingmei had just done about the forbidden area, which was too obvious. If something happened, people would easily suspect Ning Mingmei. After all, it is impossible for the leader to be an undercover agent of the sect.

"I have to cooperate with him!" Baimian thought.

He had regular contact with the cloaked woman outside the mountain gate. Bai Mian, who was good at reasoning, considered that Ning Mingmei's undercover identity might be a secret, so he did not mention this in the message, but only said that he had found a loophole to enter the forbidden area.

The cloaked woman's people quickly replied: they would send someone in to cooperate with Bai Mian.

While he was feeling extremely anxious, Ning Mingmei had already returned to Piaomiao Peak with Tianyi.

Qi Miancheng stayed outside the ice cave and did not leave. He said: "Now Junior Brother's ice cave has changed a lot."

Of course it has changed a lot. Ning Mingmei's work over the past few months was not in vain. He bought countless pieces of furniture in the ice cave, making it look brand new.

These included Ning Mingmei's favorite soft big bed, sofa and gray blanket on the floor.

Ning Mingmei nodded vaguely: "It's all thanks to Senior Brother's wise leadership!"

Qi Miancheng said: "I thought Junior Brother would invite me in to sit down."

Ning Mingmei said, "It's almost dawn. How can I disturb you from practicing swordplay on the rooftop?"

The brothers still go back and forth with each other, full of hypocrisy. Qi Miancheng said: "Junior brother, you are right. There is a competition for my junior brother's son this afternoon. In that case, I will come over in the afternoon!"

Come again...come over what?

Qi Miancheng said: "Come and pick up Junior Brother to go to Mingwu Peak."

That's not necessary.

Qi Miancheng: "Junior brother just said that I am not proactive enough."

I didn't ask you to take the initiative in this regard.

The Riddler never reveals the riddle, but is otherwise enthusiastically proactive. Ning Mingmei responded, "Brother, you are so righteous. In this case, I must urge my disciples to investigate more about the sword and the goddess."

In this respect, Ning Mingmei is better than Qi Miancheng. After all, if Qi Miancheng wanted to take the initiative, he had to come to Ning Mingmei in person. If Ning Mingmei wants his disciples to be serious, he can use scholarships to force them to be serious.

The two smiled at each other, and the picture was very harmonious. Qi Miancheng said gently: "Now I am taking the initiative, and Junior Brother is serious, it is a two-way journey between us! Okay Junior Brother, see you in the afternoon."

Ning Mingmei: ...

How could Qi Miancheng say such shameless and illogical words.

The person who was in the way finally left. Ning Mingmei sat on the ice bed, running his fingers across his spine, his face unusually gloomy.

The system that had disappeared for a long time popped up at this time: "Qi Miancheng seems to be provoking you."

Ning Mingmei: “Oh.”

Ning Mingmei didn't show any emotion at this moment. The system was spying on him quietly.

Ning Mingmei hung the white celestial robe on a shelf, and opened the Feisi Book to check today's schedule - there was a match this afternoon, it was the match between the third brother Gui Taoran.

The system wanted to test him: "What do you think about Weng Xingyun's matter..."

Ning Mingmei: "There are still six hours until the afternoon competition. Do you think I will use this time to talk nonsense with you, or take this time to take the opportunity to read some literature related to sword bones?"

...Forget it, Ning Mingmei only has academics in his heart. The system asked: "Can't you ask Qi Miancheng?"

"Here's how to play your cards." Ning Mingmei said, "The first thing is not to let the other party see your cards clearly."

…

The sun rises, and Piaomiao Peak welcomes a new day. After lunch, the disciples standing guard at the mountain gate continued to be on duty in front of the mountain gate.

"Recently, if there is no urgent matter, don't leave the mountain gate." He chatted with the inner disciples around him, "I heard that people from the demon world have come to the foot of the mountain recently, and many of them have been poisoned by a strange poison."

"Poison? Several people from the sect are here, but they can't cure this poison?"

The disciple on guard wanted to ask a few more questions, but an unexpected person in an unexpected state appeared in front of him.

"Qi... Sect Leader Qi?"

What the hell is this shape? ?
