Chapter 190 Fang Wuyu's Following

"Are you...sick?"

It was only after Ning Mingmei opened his mouth that he realized that his words did not sound very friendly.

But it doesn't matter. After all, he is the child of Jiang Wu and Chang Qing. Obviously, Chang Qing still has lingering feelings about this.

"It's just an old problem I was born with." said the Buddhist.

How could this be a congenital problem? If this were the case, Baopu Temple would not have chosen Chang Qing to be the Buddhist disciple. It was obvious that the disease originated from the piece of heart he gave to Jiang Wu.

But if he didn't say it, Ning Mingmei wouldn't ask.

From now on, the Buddhist will hide in the depths of Baopu Temple. Just like he had done for the past few hundred years. Once upon a time, he was hailed as the seventh generation son of Buddha, and he only needed this life to complete his merits. Buddhism emphasizes that the four elements are empty. But Ke Wu and his younger brother are two people in the worldly world.

So all the previous efforts were wasted.

"Mingmei." The Buddhist suddenly called him and gave him a string of Bodhi seeds. "Be careful in everything."

Ning Mingmei was not polite and accepted the bracelet: "Thank you."

He turned to leave, but heard the Buddhist disciple behind him say: "I asked someone to bury her... on Mingyue Cliff. At that time, I lost my mind and was locked in a forbidden area, unable to move. Moreover, I thought... that was her sister."

“…”

"She likes lily of the valley. You'd better not go to see her." Fuzi said. It was obvious that he knew what a terrible fate Ning Mingmei would face if he went to see Jiang Wu with his current identity and his background was exposed. "But if you ever want to go to see her, bring her a bunch of lily of the valley."

Ning Mingmei said: "Okay."

Mingyue Cliff is at the junction of the fairy world and the demon world. He didn't know what significance this place held for these two people. But Ning Mingmei knew that he probably wouldn't go there.

At least in this decade.

As he left, he heard the discussion of two core disciples of Baopu Temple. They said that hundreds of years ago, it was the Buddhist who drove his brother out of Baopu Temple with his own hands, and then the Buddhist lived in seclusion for many years due to serious injuries. Unexpectedly, when we were at Dongji Mountain, the Buddhist disciple pleaded for his brother. It is a pity to see the two brothers end up like this.

Ning Mingmei thought to himself that compared to this pair of brothers, the sisters Jiang Heng and Jiang Wu were even more pathetic.

Thinking of this, Ning Mingmei thought of another person. He came to the Qingji Sect's headquarters and first went to see Wen Siheng whose injuries were still improving, and then he went to another courtyard.

The courtyard belonging to Qiansheng Peak.

Mu Hanshan's injury had not yet fully healed, but he was already directing his disciples to work in the yard. Ning Mingmei greeted them and went into the inner room.

Mu Hanshan tried to stop Ning Mingmei: "Master should still be asleep."

There was a hint of sadness in his features - much sadder than when he himself was injured. Chang Feichang just went out for a trip and came back injured.

Ning Mingmei said: "I'll go in and wake him up."

Ning Mingmei opened the door and then closed it.

Sure enough, Chang Feichang was sitting on a chair beside the bed, he was not sleeping.

Instead, he concentrated on wiping the sword in his hand.

Wiping it again and again, the long sword that had accompanied him for many years became bright and sharp. Ning Mingmei saw that his right arm was wrapped in a thick bandage.

Ning Mingmei said: "Did Mu Hanshan make it for you?"

The origin of this thing can be known at a glance.

Chang Feichang said, "I can hold the sword with my left hand just as well."

Monks often wield swords with their right hands, and few are equally proficient with either hand. Although Chang Feichang's cultivation has stagnated, he can still achieve this. Firstly, he is indeed a young genius, and secondly, it is hard to imagine how much effort he has made to achieve his goals.

Ning Mingmei didn't say much. He just sat next to Chang Feichang. Mu Hanshan just thought that Chang Feichang was still sleeping in the room - just like he did in the past, but Ning Mingmei knew what Chang Feichang was thinking about now.

"When they left, they took away the stone slabs in the cave. Those stone slabs recorded the skills of Xinghuo Island." Chang Feichang said.

"Yes." Ning Ming said frankly, "After the final discussion, they decided to seal the stone tablet in the forbidden area of ​​Qingji Sect."

This sounds like the safest place in the world of immortal cultivation.

"We need to take them away." Chang Feichang lowered his eyes.

Ning Mingmei said: "The things on the stone slab can be copied down."

"...You know what I want to take away." Chang Feichang said.

Lotus pod.

The lotus pod that once produced those seven lotus seeds.

When the sword spirit took over Jiang Heng's body, he left in a hurry and didn't even have time to explore the secret realm. After obtaining the lotus pod, the learned Supreme Elder mentioned that this lotus pod might resonate with the lotus seeds that it once produced. For example, the seventh lotus seed once produced by the lotus pod.

The lotus seed was carried by Weng Xingyun and is now located in the ruins of Xinghuo Island, which is surrounded by black air and no one can enter. It is so powerful that it may even imprison the soul of Weng Xingyun. With this resonance, perhaps the mob can still enter Spark Island.

Ning Mingmei couldn't help but remain silent. For the mob, this artifact is indeed of extraordinary significance.

"It's not easy to take it away." Ning Mingmei said, "It will be kept in Yanyun Tower."

The stone slabs and other objects are kept by the Qingji Sect on the snowy mountain, and the lotus pods are kept by the Yanyun Tower on the archipelago. This is how it was decided.

Once the lotus pods are transported into Yanyun Tower, this matter will become difficult to handle. If one party's belongings are stolen, the other party will inevitably strengthen the protection of the belongings in their hands. It is impossible for the mob to act on both sides at the same time.

"So I have to do it now."

Time is running out, we will leave in a few days. The best time for the mob to take action is in Shanyin City where the Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower are separated. There were no people from other sects there, only people from Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower resting here.

What a coincidence. Back then, Mu Hanshan betrayed his own family and traveled a hundred miles from Xiangyang City to Shanyin City to take the qualification test and enter the Qingji Sect.

Fate seems like a wonderful cycle. The fate of the beginning and the end is connected here. Ning Mingmei said: "If you are lucky, you can avoid exposing yourself. But if you lose this chess piece, is it really worth it for the mob?"

Chang was very silent: "...This was originally in the plan."

Then, he looked at Ning Mingmei and said, "And you already know my identity, don't you?"

This is indeed the case.

The checks and balances between Ning Mingmei and Chang Feichang are two-way. As Chang Chang knew very well, the extremely intelligent Ning Mingmei already knew his identity and the organization behind him. Ning Mingmei also knew that the mob also knew Ning Mingmei's true life experience.

The so-called "son of a demon concubine" is really a disaster.

What's more, the other "son of the demon concubine" is now a member of the mob.

"Besides, there is always a time to leave." Chang Feichang said, "I have stayed in Qingji Sect for too long."

Ning Mingmei looked out the window. Not far from the window, Mu Hanshan and other disciples were still standing under the willow leaves. They chatted and talked about the plum blossoms that bloomed in winter on Qiansheng Peak.

These plum blossoms were planted by Mu Hanshan and several of his disciples a few years ago.

It hasn’t been a long time, and it’s still only a few years.

"I guess you won't leave with us." Chang Feichang said.

"Yes." Ning Ming said bluntly, "I am in Qingji Sect, and I have things I want to do."

"Well." Chang Feichang didn't force him, "Then will you stop us?"

Ning Mingmei said: "You are determined to win. I don't seem to have any reason or ability to fight you to the death?"

Chang Feichang said: "This is already very good..."

He thought for a moment and said, "Take all of Heng's things. They are of no use to us."

Ning Mingmei just said, "Thank you."

He didn't say anything else to Chang Feichang.

Chang Feichang added: "I won't tell you the exact time we plan to take action. This way, you won't have to bear the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy."

"What difference does it make whether we collaborate with the enemy or not?" Ning Mingmei asked.

When he left the courtyard, willow catkins were already falling in the air. Ning Mingmei reached out to catch it, thinking, how many days would it take until deep autumn?

“…”

Someone came up behind him, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable name.

Ning Mingmei just turned around and looked at him: "Senior Brother Fang."

"...Junior Brother Ning." The man called out his name with difficulty.

Ning Mingmei was just waiting for Fang Wuyu to come up with some insightful comments when he heard Fang Wuyu say, "Junior brother, you are becoming more and more like him now."

……?

Ning Mingmei was speechless when someone came over to invite him to have a chat. Ning Mingmei raised his eyes and saw that it was someone from the Lian family.

Qi Miancheng's death had not yet been officially announced to the world, but families with connections had already heard the news. This of course includes Qi Miancheng’s own family, the Qi family. Patriarch Qi is not feeling well and cannot make the trip. Qi Miancheng's cousin, who is now in charge of Qi family affairs, has already come to deal with the funeral arrangements. Strictly speaking, the Lian family is Qi Miancheng's maternal family. It was obvious that they had no good intentions when they came to find Ning Mingmei at this time.

Fang Wu Yu certainly knew about the dispute between the Lian family and the Qi family. His face darkened and he said something unpleasant: "I will go with Junior Brother Ning."

No one dared to offend Fang Wuyu. Even a few days ago, he was still wailing in front of the ice coffin of Qi Miancheng, who was in a vegetative state.

For the first time, Ning Mingmei felt the feeling of having a bodyguard following him. This feeling continued into the Lian family's living room. Everyone in the Lian family looked at Fang Wuyu standing behind Ning Mingmei like a black-faced god. It was obviously the first time they experienced what it felt like to have a Tianlong person as a bodyguard.

Therefore, all the soft, hard and crazy tactics that were originally prepared became cautious. The first one to come up was Lian Xiao. The Lian family asked her to thank Ning Mingmei for saving her life, which was a good start to the next topic.

Lian Xiao's thanks were sincere this time. She also asked a question - how is Duan Ying now.

"Still receiving treatment." Ning Mingmei said.

Lian Xiao's face showed great sadness. Seeing that the relationship had become closer, the Lian family invited Ning Mingmei to continue the polite conversation and expressed their deep sorrow for Qi Miancheng's death...

Ning Mingmei didn't need to speak this time, Fang Wuyu had already sneered. He said, "Junior Brother Ning is simple and kind. But I know the past of the Lian family very well. The Lian family was really kind to Master Lian back then."

Ning Mingmei couldn't help but glance sideways again.

What's going on with Fang Wu Yu? It really feels like Ning Mingmei has become like Qi Miancheng.

Fang Wu Yu's words made everyone afraid to respond. Even the head of the family was choked by the words he wanted to say to get a self-recruitment quota for his children.
