Chapter 323 Both Being Hit

"Two hundred years ago, after you left, I was always angry about the attitude of the Grand Elder towards you. After that, I knew the truth." Bai Ruoru said, "I knew the truth, but I never told you."

She seemed to want to lower her eyes, but she forced herself to look Ning Mingmei in the eye, so that all her apologies would be open and guilt-free. She whispered, "In these twenty years, I have not found a way to safely separate the sword bone from you, nor have I found a way to...safely store the sword bone."

Precisely because she was the head of the sect, she was also concerned about the damage caused by the loss of control of the sword bone without storage, just as she was worried about Ning Mingmei's physical condition. At this moment, she felt very guilty.

Because this balance of worry always exists in her heart.

Ning Mingmei didn't say anything else. He just put down the teacup and said, "Senior Sister, I'm counting on you this time."

"good."

"No matter what happened... even though our master has gone into seclusion again." Ning Mingmei knew that Minglong had gone to find Mingqi, but he still said, "But even if the other supreme elders want to force their way in, please stop them, Senior Sister."

"I can do it." Bai Ruoru said solemnly, "Old Xiang can do it, Senior Brother Yin can do it...Senior Brother Fang can do it too."

We all do.

Ning Mingmei just smiled. He knew that even a saint like Bai Ruoru would be someone who would put him on the scales for measurement.

But everything has to be measured, and who can say that he has not put everything on the scale?

"How long is it before the operation?" Bai Ruoru asked after some discussion.

"Seven days." Ning Mingmei said, "I will pretend that it is a reaction to my breakthrough to the fusion stage and the heavenly tribulation. I hope I can get away with it."

“What if I can’t get through it?”

Ning Mingmei actually used the word "混", which shows that the chance of success is not high. Ning Mingmei actually put down the mutton skewers at this moment, with a smile on his face.

"That's because they are shameless." Ning Mingmei said, "They refused to take the opportunity offered by others. What do you think will be their fate?"

Bai Ruoru was shocked.

Seven days later, the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak was blocked and the entire peak was under martial law.

…

"It was two hundred years ago that our master broke through to the Void Refining Stage, and now he is about to break through to the Fusion Stage again." Old Forty was nestled on a small hill next to a small pine forest, looking towards the back of the mountain. "But this time, our master didn't even let us watch. It's such a pity that we can't see our master's breakthrough with our own eyes!"

"But this strange phenomenon in the sky..." A disciple looked at the rolling black and red clouds in the sky, "Was it the same when Master broke through to the Void Refining Stage?"

"And the ground shook so many times." Someone said, "It's really scary."

The disciples nearby were all sighing with regret, and some who had witnessed Ning Mingmei’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage talked about that year with their own eyes, which aroused the envy of everyone. Bai Bugui folded his hands and looked at his group of naive junior sisters and brothers with his usual fake smile on his lips.

"Bai Bugui, how are the disciples?" Wu Yun's voice came to his ears.

"Don't worry, I'm your senior brother Wannian Yanbi, so you can rest assured." Bai Bugui said.

Bai Bugui came here to look after this group of disciples.

A barrier has been set up around Piaomiao Peak, and the road leading into the peak is guarded by special personnel. The prisoners in the back mountain who were known for their "extreme cruelty" finally no longer had to be work scabs. Instead, they regained their youth and vitality and participated in the big team-building activity in the back mountain that took place on the weekend. However, the people in the front and back mountains did not know the truth about Ning Mingmei's action. They just thought that he was going to overcome the calamity and was afraid of his many enemies.

However, the clever Bai Bugui had already smelled something unusual.

If anyone could do it like him, and study for a PhD for three hundred years, they could do it too. Thinking of this, Bai Bugui felt very proud. Moreover, he will soon have a top-notch paper on the distinction between soul and body published in Nature, the largest journal in the world of immortal cultivation. In this paper, he made a core contribution - although, he was the experimental material.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the group of disciples from Piaomiao Peak again. In order to stabilize the undergraduates and postgraduate students who are not young and lively at Piaomiao Peak, Bai Bugui specially proposed that they come to Xiaosonglin for a seven-day education on loving the peak and remembering the bitterness and sweetness of the past. During this process, they will watch the documentary "Piao Miao Peak - A History of the School", study as a monk, complete seven practice reports, plant trees and pick mushrooms in the small pine forest, make dumplings in the cafeteria and give them to other disciples of Qingji Sect for free, interview outstanding students and students who have delayed graduation, hold debates, share and exchange experiences, and everyone will be scored participation points according to the number of speeches... Just thinking about this series is enough to drain the disciples' already scarce vitality, leaving them no time to think about what Ning Mingmei is doing.

Su Jue had only one comment on this: "You modern people play really dirty."

Because of the gap between them and the times and because Su Jue did not know how to use a pager, he and Wu Yu were assigned to an important exit. Bai Bugui despised this. When Su Jue was in his body, he used his body to play Kart Sword every day. He was very good at using electronic devices, so there was no reason why he couldn't use a mobile phone.

It was okay for him to deceive Wu Yu, who started working right after graduation, but it was useless to deceive a fox like him who had delayed graduation for more than three hundred years. Speaking of delaying graduation...

"Lian Chengyue?"

Bai Bugui woke up as if a piece of cold water was poured on his face. Hua Puff sat in Lian Chengyue's seat and looked at him puzzledly: "Brother, what's wrong?"

In the past few hours, he had always mistaken Hua Puff for Lian Chengyue! Hua Puff, a graduated student, seemed to think it was natural for her to come back and attend the party to recall the past. She also looked up at the big screen.

The disciples around her treated her as Lian Chengyue and interacted with her. And she herself didn't even notice anything unusual!

Where did Lian Chengyue go?

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook again, and the huge shock made everyone stagger. Before Bai Bugui had time to maintain order, he sensed a dark patch of darkness in the sky from afar.

"This is……"

"Grand Elder, the Grand Elders are here." Xu Yao said.

Huang Zhutao looked at them and held down her lightsaber: "Still failed to stop them?"

After them, the guests of Piaomiao Peak stood up in a black mass. Yin Xisheng, Bai Ruoru, Xiang Wuxing, Liang Jiansu and Fu Weidao, who were originally drinking tea in the reception room, also stood up calmly.

"We didn't expect you to come." Yin Xisheng said to Liang Jiansu and Fu Weidao.

Fu Weidao snorted, "I owe Master Ning Feng a life-saving favor. Although I don't know the inside story of Master Ning Feng, Master Ning Feng's life is at stake, how can I not help?"

Liang Jiansu said calmly, "I don't know anything. People from the same clan are of the same blood and we should help each other. This is the right thing to do."

She glanced in the direction of the back mountain. In the back mountain, Zhang Zhizhen was also there with several of her most trusted disciples.

As the number one medical practitioner of Qingji Sect, she is always waiting for any accidents that might happen to Ning Mingmei, just like watching over each of her growing disciples.

There are three factions among the Supreme Elders: Wukong, Wufang and Wuse. It is truly extraordinary that all three factions are here today. Bai Ruoru looked up and saw Master Wukong floating in the air, looking at them coldly. She was not in a hurry and just asked, "What happened to Master Uncle? Why did he mobilize so many people to Piao Miao Peak?"

"I would like to ask." Having dealt with this group of people for hundreds of years, Wukong no longer speaks harshly, "What are they doing behind the scenes with all this commotion on Piaomiao Peak?"

If it were Bai Ruoru when she just became the head of the sect, she would have to explain right now. But now Bai Ruoru just covered her lips and glanced at Yin Xisheng and Xiang Wuxing beside her: "Brothers, what happened on Piaomiao Peak?"

Xiang Wuxing shook his head in ignorance.

Bai Ruoru looked at Liang Jiansu and Fu Wei again and said, "Two Peak Masters, is there anything unusual on Piaomiao Peak?"

The two peak masters both shook their heads.

Seeing that these peak masters were singing the same tune, True Man Wu Se spoke. Unlike Wukong Zhenren, she was a smiling tiger: "Several peak masters came to visit Piaomiao Peak today, why didn't the host come out to greet them?"

Colorless people are never easy to deal with. Xiang Wuxing said: "My junior brother has broken through to the fusion stage today, and we are just here to watch the ceremony."

"Really? This is a great event." Wu Se Zhenren smiled, as if she was really happy. "Let's sit down and watch the ceremony with you."

That's totally not possible. It might be possible to fool them from a distance, but if we let these people enter the Piaomiao Peak barrier and watch from close up, they will immediately see what Ning Mingmei is doing. Bai Ruoru was not afraid of them knowing, but she was afraid that these people would use some means to disrupt Ning Mingmei's operation and cause it to fail.

"In my opinion, this is not necessary. The supreme elders usually do not care about worldly affairs. Why did you come here today? Don't you have other things to do?" Fu Weidao said.

As soon as Fu Weidao said this, Yin Xisheng felt something was wrong. As expected, Guan Miao said, "How strange. It's fine that you guys are sitting at the entrance of the barrier, but we wanted to go in and take a look today, but you guys are making excuses. Is there something in this barrier that you cannot reveal?"

Guan Wei said, "Or is it that Master Ning Feng is not undergoing the tribulation in there at all? If he was, why would there be three layers of barriers inside and outside to block it? You guys should have been allowed to go in to protect the law."

This became a hot topic. Bai Ruoru was about to continue speaking when she saw the movements of Master Wufang's men, who looked like they were about to rush in directly.

"What are you going to do!?"

Bai Ruoru and a few others also stood up. Master Wufang looked at them and said coldly, "Some things are beyond your control."

"Master Wukong!" Fu Weidao said, "Master Ningfeng..."

Master Wufang looked at him and actually sneered. He said, "Bai Ruoru, Fang Wuyu and the others are fine... Fu Weidao, who do you think you are?"

"And Liang Jiansu, a mortal who ran away from marriage, who are you?"

His words were full of contempt for these two non-direct peak masters. At that moment, Bai Ruoru suddenly understood a lot.

In their eyes, the reason they were willing to talk to Bai Ruoru and Xiang Wuxing was because of their identities as direct disciples of Wuwei Zhenren and the Xiang and Bai families behind them. Therefore, in their eyes, these three people are still qualified to be "juniors".

What about people like Liang Jiansu and Fu Weidao, who rely entirely on their own efforts and come from relatively grassroots backgrounds? Even these so-called grassroots are considered to be the chosen ones in the eyes of outsiders.

In their eyes, these two people didn't even have the qualifications to speak or to be on an equal footing with them. Even if they have spent all their youth and worked hard to climb to their current position, in the eyes of the Supreme Elder, they are just two "place-holding" tools.

At that moment, Bai Ruoru couldn't bear to look at Fu Weidao's expression. Fu Weidao is a pedantic old man who always talks about etiquette and is prone to puffing out his beard and glaring. Even when facing his apprentice, even if he is very moved, he still forces a stern and sarcastic expression. In fact, he has never been very used to their style of doing things. Compared with him, Shen Liwan and Zheng Heguang have benefited more from Ning Mingmei. But this time he came here to repay Ning Mingmei for saving his life.

And Liang Jiansu's expression. She threw away her hairpins and rings just to be able to control her own life. Compared with Fu Weidao, it is even more difficult for someone like her to climb to the position of peak master in Qingji Sect. As a woman, Bai Ruoru knows better than anyone how much effort a woman like Liang Jiansu, who has no family support and is not very good-looking, has to make to climb to a high position, either against her conscience or with what kind of efforts. To the extent that she had etched the idea of ​​detachment from love and affection deep in her bones. In the past few hundred years of her life, even her own disciples complained that she was too unkind.

Everyone loves to brag about getting everything effortlessly and easily. Only after the appearance of Piaomiao Peak did her "efforts" come to be justified.

Hard work is a quality that makes people feel proud of themselves. It's not some "spinster psychopath". Rather, it is a person's constant pursuit of greater excellence, nobility and responsibility in his or her life.

"you!"

Bai Ruoru held down the person behind her.

Xiang Wuxing's anger was suppressed by Bai Ruoru, and he thought that his junior sister should fulfill her duties as the head of the sect again. Yin Xisheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But no one expected it.

"They are the peak masters of Qingji Sect and an indispensable part of Qingji Sect. Over the years, all the outstanding disciples of Qingji Sect have been inseparable from their teachings." Bai Ruoru said calmly, "Compared to them, what are you? Are you just a bunch of trash who eat people's offerings and stir up trouble in the blessed land?"

?

! !

"You are really incredible!" Master Wufang was furious.

"What? I've had enough of you guys." Bai Ruoru shook her ponytail and cursed, "Look in the mirror before you speak. I see you..."

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed in panting. It turned out to be Shen Liwan who was dragged by Wu Min. The fat man wiped the sweat from his head and his legs were trembling. Wukong saw Wu Min and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Min said, “Master Shen Feng has something important to report.”

"My people...are responsible for patrolling the blessed land...strange phenomena!" Shen Liwan quickly explained, "The blessed land where Sect Leader Qi is is shaking! The earth is shaking!"

"What?!"

"It looks like there will be a thunder tribulation!"

"If that's the case..." Wu Min looked at the sky and thought, "Could this be some kind of superimposed celestial phenomenon? That's why it's so abnormal."

"How is this possible?!" The great elders were shocked. "Hasn't Qi Miancheng been gone for many years?"
