Chapter 322 Surgery

"The emperor of the human world has been bedridden for a long time, so it's not surprising that he died."

"But they originally calculated that the emperor still had a few years to live."

"I heard that the emperor recently heard that...could he be angry to death?"

Ning Mingmei had a friendly expression. After all, the emperor being angry to death had nothing to do with him.

"In this case, it's better to schedule the xiphoid surgery as soon as possible." Ning Mingmei made the final decision.

"The sooner the better? Immortal Lord, something big just happened in the human world..."

"The old emperor died suddenly. Who knows if he has chosen a successor? It looks like the world will be in chaos for a while." Ning Mingmei said, "In a few days... maybe starting from today, the capital will be under martial law and no one can enter."

"But……"

"The human world is, after all, the human world. How can people from the immortal world interfere in the affairs of the human world? I'm afraid that they will be affected by karma and suffer backlash." Baimian said, "Besides, with our current status, it's enough for us to do our own thing."

Tang Wan finally stopped talking. Ning Mingmei was a little surprised when he saw her sudden intense reaction.

Tang Wan was a talent brought back by Ning Mingmei from Dongji Mountain, and was from the same batch as Xue Li. Compared with Xue Li, she is gentle and honest, silent and amiable, works very hard, and doesn't like to interfere in worldly affairs. She was also one of the few people who was attentive enough to raise the indoor temperature just because Ning Mingmei sneezed.

Now it seems that there is something else behind her life story. But when Ning Mingmei glanced at Tang Wan, she realized her gaffe, lowered her eyelashes and stopped talking.

She didn't look like she wanted to talk.

The matter was mostly explained and everyone dispersed. Perhaps because the old emperor had died, everyone's emotions had changed. On the one hand, Xu Yao was excited because she had hated the old emperor who had sent her entire family to prison for a long time. On the other hand, she was worried about her nephew who was still an official in the capital. Xuezhu was just purely gloating. He was originally a child who grew up near the capital. He was bought by a human trafficker and then sold to the Tiantian Division to work as a handyman. But the person who was recruiting odd jobs for the Heavenly Department saw that he was a cauldron and sold him secretly. After that, he moved back and forth throughout his life until he fell into Ning Mingmei's hands.

He talked about this with Ning Mingmei on the way back. Ning Mingmei said: "This is the first time I know this. In other words, you originally had a family?"

"They sold me for my brother a long time ago. What kind of family am I?" Xue Zhu said, "If I hadn't known how to please the traffickers, the old woman would have thought I was a rare commodity and sold me to the Heavenly Guards. I don't know where my life would have been sold to."

He was silent for a moment, his eyelashes sparkling a little: "That old woman thought I was sold to the Jiantian Division to enjoy a good life, but she didn't know that I was sold again. I went back to the capital to see her once two hundred years ago. The old woman died a long time ago. But it doesn't matter, she and I deceived each other anyway. She didn't even treat me as her own grandson."

To immortals, human affairs are like a fleeting white horse. Just like the old woman who changed her mind, grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth and said that she would sell her good kid to the Astronomical Bureau when she saw a good opportunity, she never got to see the child again in the end.

"The Heavenly Supervisory Department, is it the institution of the Imperial Master?" Ning Mingmei asked suddenly, "Have you met the current Imperial Master?"

Xue Zhu was shocked: "How can I have a chance? We little errand boys can only clean the outside and cannot go inside."

The former imperial teacher was the biological father of Chang Feichang, who had an affair with the concubine of the former emperor. The current national master is the apprentice of the previous national master. The previous emperor died, the previous emperor also died, but the current imperial teacher is still alive.

From any perspective, Ning Mingmei can no longer make use of this connection.

"It doesn't matter. Complete the surgery to separate the xiphoid bone within three months." Ning Mingmei said, "I estimate that it will take the human world at most four months to complete the enthronement of the new emperor. We can go to pay our respects then."

Having said that, Ning Mingmei returned to his office. He looked at the notebook in front of him, but his fingers kept tapping on the table.

A 70% to 80% success rate, at most a 70% to 80% success rate... he thought.

Either way, it will be a big gamble. But Ning Mingmei had to move forward, he had no choice.

The death of the Human Emperor shocked not only the entire human world, but also the entire world of immortal cultivation. Sect leaders such as Bai Ruoru and Lu Mengqing sent their condolences to the human world. However, the development of the situation was somewhat surprising.

"After Lao Fang heard the news, he wanted to rush back to the capital, but he was stopped." Xiang Wuxing said as he grilled mutton skewers, "The whole area of ​​the capital was blocked off. They said it was a matter of the succession of imperial power in the human world, and asked the immortal world not to interfere—"

Yin Xisheng said: "There is nothing we can do about this. Fang Wuyu is one of the five great elders of the Qingji Sect and is a person from the fairy world."

He quietly pushed the greasy eggplant away.

"I just didn't expect that he used to always mention the Fang family as the royal family, but now the Fang family's affairs have nothing to do with him." Xiang Wuxing sighed.

"After all, it's not just a matter for the Fang family, but for the whole world," Ning Mingmei said.

There is harmony and joy on Guyue Peak. When Xiang Wuxing felt a little better, he set up a barbecue grill and invited his fellow disciples to have barbecue together. Bai Ruoru was unable to come due to some urgent matters, and Fang Wuyu stayed indoors, so there was only Ning Mingmei left on the peak, and Yin Xisheng who was forcibly dragged over.

In fact, Yin Xisheng was not forced to come here. When he saw Ning Mingmei was there, he naturally came over. But at this time Xiang Wuxing said: "Mingmei, when I invited Lao Fang, he had a strange expression when he heard your name - did something happen between you two?"

Ning Mingmei continued to chew the mutton skewers. Xiang Wuxing said seriously, "I'm serious. Did he bully you? Did he do something wrong that makes you afraid to come over?"

That’s not the case, after all, Ning Mingmei has always been the one bullying others. Ning Mingmei said: "I don't know."

"Maybe it's because Senior Brother Fang finally wants to grow up." Yin Xisheng solved the problem with one sentence.

"Old Fang has lived for about 600 years..." Xiang Wuxing shook his head.

Ning Mingmei continued chewing. Xiang Wuxing seemed to be aware of some gazes. He snorted coldly, waved his hand and cast a spell, covering Gu Yue Peak with a thick barrier.

"...There are these annoying eyes staring at us everywhere." Xiang Wuxing cursed angrily.

"Brother, they are not targeting you."

"I know they are not targeting me!" Xiang Wuxing said, "Mingmei, what's going on? Since I came back, I feel that these people are..."

The sword bone of the magic sword has been gone for two hundred years and has not returned. The supreme elders who have done something wrong are watching it on their own.

Ning Mingmei was used to the spies of all sizes behind him when he was in public areas, but Xiang Wuxing could not get used to it. During this period of time, he found out several stalkers for Ning Mingmei and beat them all up. But he didn't expect that these people were as bold as green-headed flies, and they kept coming one after another like a pile of densely packed maggots.

"Brother, I'm about to break through soon, so I'll be in seclusion for a while." Ning Mingmei said, "If they want to watch, let them watch from outside Piao Miao Peak. Anyway, no one can enter my Piao Miao Peak."

"If others say this, I won't believe it. But if you say this, I will definitely believe that you can do it." Xiang Wuxing said.

Ning Mingmei hesitated for a rare moment. He said, "Two senior brothers, can you do me a favor?"

Xiang Wuxing: "What favor? I will definitely help."

"I will survive the tribulation in the back mountain. When the time comes... no matter what happens, please help me, brothers, and don't let any outsiders enter the back mountain." Ning Mingmei said, "Thank you in advance."

"What kind of movement will there be?"

"It could be anything." Ning Mingmei cupped his hands and said, "After the matter is completed, I will give you a generous gift..."

"Bang!"

Ning Mingmei was a little surprised. He saw Xiang Wuxing actually threw down the wine glass.

Ning Mingmei knew that what he said was indeed a bit of a riddle. Moreover, cultivators are knowledgeable and experienced, so who knows what these two people were thinking about. He then said, "Brothers, I guarantee that this is nothing to do with the demon world or the monster world, but it will make a lot of noise, and the Supreme Elders might have to come over. If they force their way in... So please trouble the two brothers. Anyway, after this is done..."

"After it's done, after it's done, do you think I want to know what gift you're going to give?" Xiang Wuxing yelled.

Ning Mingmei paused for a moment and said, "Brother, I have always felt that my character can be trusted. I..."

Yin Xisheng actually threw down his wine glass.

"Ning Mingmei, you always claim to be smart, but how come you don't even know what we want to know." Yin Xisheng said calmly, but his tone clearly showed that he was angry. "What we want to know is what kind of danger this tribulation will bring to you."

Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses up: "Brother, does what I said sound dangerous? When I do something, I am always fully prepared."

"If you were fully prepared, how could you say 'no matter what happens'?" Yin Xi said, "Normally you would like to write down all the rules and regulations on a piece of paper for us to sign, but today you just want to get away with it by being vague. Do you think your brothers are so easy to please?"

Ning Mingmei: ...

"Forget it for now." Ning Mingmei said, "Anyway..."

"Ning Mingmei!" Xiang Wuxing called him by his full name, obviously a little angry. "Although I am a reckless man, I am not blind. I have seen the attitude of the Supreme Elders towards you since you came back. They wanted to harm you, and you risked your life for me, but now you want me to pretend that I don't know? What is going on? If you don't explain it clearly today, don't leave this door!"

Ning Mingmei: ...

Since when did asking for help become so difficult?

Just as Ning Mingmei was about to make up an excuse, a female voice said, "Okay. I promise you."

The three of them turned around and saw that it was Bai Ruoru who came. She looked straight at Ning Mingmei and asked, "Are you sure?"

"About 70 to 80 percent." Ning Mingmei said.

Bai Ruoru pondered for a moment, then said to Xiang Wuxing and Yin Xisheng, "You two can leave first."

"Hey!" Xiang Wuxing was so angry that he wanted to quarrel with Bai Ruoru.

"Go down." Bai Ruoru said.

Yin Xisheng pulled Xiang Wuxing and asked him to retreat with him. In the bustling restaurant, only Bai Ruoru and Ning Mingmei were left.

The two sat opposite each other.

Bai Ruoru looked at him in silence. After a moment, she said, "Junior brother, have you found a solution?"

"Yeah." Ning Mingmei said.

"But it doesn't mean it will succeed, right?" Bai Ruoru said, biting her lip suddenly and lowering her head, "Junior brother, I'm sorry."

"Senior Sister, when did you first know about this?" Ning Mingmei asked.

"Fifty years ago."
