Chapter 325 Junior Brother Has Taught Me Well Over the Years
"Ning Mingmei, are you distracted?"
Ning Mingmei came back to his senses and saw Gui Ruoxue looking at him with an unhappy expression. He pushed up his glasses and said, "No, keep talking."
"It's not me who continues, it's Lin Ying who continues. What's wrong with you? You don't even care about your own health..." There was a hint of complaint in Gui Ruoxue's words.
Lin Ying just smiled. She had always been in a good mood when facing Ning Mingmei: "Ning Xianzun, you are recovering very well now."
"Just right." Gui Ruoxue handed him the thing in her hand. "The thing you have been waiting for is here. It seems that the nobles in the capital have finally decided the winner."
Ning Mingmei took the invitation and went to read it. In fact, the old emperor had passed away three months ago (brain death). His filial sons and grandchildren had people transfuse spiritual energy into him to maintain his vital signs. They fought for three months before finally deciding on the final candidate. Now the old emperor can finally return to the dust, his soul to heaven, and everyone in the six realms can have a feast.
"This invitation is quite exquisite, even more exquisite than the ones they gave to other elders." Gui Ruoxue said, "Ning Mingmei, you are now famous both inside and outside."
However, even for the royal family, it would be difficult to imagine that the person they were carefully inviting to the imperial city for a banquet would be the son of the "evil concubine" they mentioned back then.
"Three weeks later? Then we will set off in about a week." Ning Mingmei said.
"Do you want to go?" Gui Ruoxue said.
"Why not go? I still have things to get." The banquet was probably the best opportunity for Ning Mingmei to take advantage of the situation.
Gui Ruoxue's brows were twisted into a knot. He said, "You need to find a few more good fighters to go with you. The imperial city of the human world is not an easy place to enter. What's more... this time, most of the eyes of the imperial city will be on the people of Qingji Sect."
"Is it that exaggerated? How come I didn't know that we are so eye-catching?" Ning Mingmei asked.
Ning Mingmei accepted the invitation. He saw Gui Ruoxue looking at him strangely: "Ning Mingmei, don't you know?"
"?"
"He really seems to not know." Lin Ying saw confusion in Ning Mingmei's eyes.
"Don't be the Riddler, Wig."
"Well, the people that Qingji Sect is going to send this time include you who hasn't appeared for two hundred years, and another person who has been dead for more than three hundred years..."
?
? ?
"Who has been dead for more than three hundred years? How could I..." Ning Mingmei got stuck in the middle of his sentence.
Even Ning Mingmei's face twisted for once, and his voice became higher, like a cat that was hit on the back by an orange and screamed: "Qi Miancheng?"
Gui Ruoxue: "Ah, he was resurrected on the same day as you had the surgery."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Gui Ruoxue: "The black clouds are pressing down on the city and are about to destroy it. The sky of Qingji Sect is full of black clouds. The black clouds on one side are striking you, and the black clouds on the other side are striking him. You are now in the Fusion Stage, and he is now in the Mahayana Stage. At the same time, the blessed land of the cave was struck and burned, and the supreme elders were busy saving the property, so they had no time to deal with other things."
Ning Mingmei: ...
He looked like he would remain silent until next fall.
"So Lian Chengyue... I knew it."
Gui Ruoxue: "Ah? You know it now?"
Ning Mingmei:?
"Your unlucky disciple happened to pass by the blessed land that day and was struck by a bolt of lightning. He was sent for rescue, so he didn't come to see you." Gui Ruoxue said, "I only found out about it recently."
Ning Mingmei: ...
"Forget it, I'll go take a look." Ning Mingmei said.
"Who are you going to see?" Gui Ruoxue looked alert.
"Let's go see the hundred faces first." Ning Mingmei said. It is always right to first express your condolences to your subordinates who work hard for you.
"Then what?"
"Qimiancheng." Ning Mingmei said.
After he said this, he saw Gui Ruoxue's face gloomy, but Lin Ying smiled. In front of him, Gui Ruoxue reluctantly took out a bag of spirit stones from her pocket and threw it to Lin Ying. Lin Ying said: "I thought I was right. A gift from heaven can never compare to a childhood sweetheart."
Gui Ruoxue: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Ning Mingmei should have checked on his own property and slaves first. Qi Miancheng is not the property of Ning Mingmei, the profiteer..."
Ning Mingmei: ...
"Wig, this month's Sprite should be sugar-free." Ning Mingmei made the final decision.
I haven't gotten out of bed for a long time, so I was a little uncomfortable walking for a while. Ning Mingmei sat in his mind-controlled wheelchair and slid all the way to Baimian's ward.
Just as Gui Ruoxue said, Baimian blocked a huge electric shock for him head-on and he almost died. Fortunately, he is almost able to walk now. Ning Mingmei saw that he looked pale and comforted him: "Don't worry, Baimian, you have medical insurance."
Baimian: ...
The words "Don't thank me" got stuck in my throat.
Ning Mingmei: "You still can't walk smoothly now, right? What do you think of my wheelchair?"
Baimian: "Very good."
Ning Mingmei: "I'll sell it to you. Six installments of Huabei with no interest."
Ning Mingmei, can you be a human being?
However, Baimian knew that he was able to recover so quickly thanks to Ning Mingmei opening his private vault and letting his blood flow to replenish his body. In the end, he just looked at Ning Mingmei for a long time and said, "Seeing you so lively and energetic, I feel relieved."
Ning Mingmei: "Well... it's been a few hundred years. I'll give you a holiday."
"It is said that when a person is about to die, he will see the revolving lantern of his life. At the moment when the electricity ran through my body, I saw my sister, and also saw hundreds of years ago..." Baimian said with his eyes closed, "When we met again at the afterlife auction. I suddenly remembered that I didn't expect at that time that I would protect you from the lightning disaster in the future."
Ning Mingmei said: "I didn't expect it either."
"But I'd rather block the lightning for you, Ning Mingmei." Bai Mian suddenly called him by his full name, "Whether you are a member of the mob or not, I will block the lightning for you."
Aye. However, hundreds of years have passed, and if Bai Mian still can't see that Ning Mingmei is not an undercover agent, then he must be really mentally retarded.
"And I know that you will also block the thunder for others. You are that kind of person." Baimian said.
Ning Mingmei recalled the scene where he used Qi Miancheng's body to block the lightning catastrophe, pushed his glasses and said: "Why don't you sleep for a while, I have never done anything for anyone..."
"No, the so-called 'others' are not just one person, but everyone in the world. I know you are that kind of person, Mingmei. You will block the thunder for everyone in the world, so I am willing to block it for you. I am more willing than I would steal the lamp for anyone else before." Baimian said, "And I know that if I have to suffer a thunder disaster one day, you will also block it for me. You block it for me not because I am me, but because I am a person in the world."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Ning Mingmei came out of the ward, worried about Baimian's head. Gui Ruoxue stood outside the door, folded her hands and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Are you not used to being treated as a good person?"
"The last time someone said I was this kind of person was…" Ning Ming paused, "that time."
"Wen Siheng at that time?" Gui Ruoxue said.
But he saw that Ning Mingmei's smile gradually stopped. The corners of Ning Mingmei's mouth gradually flattened into a straight line. The sun was shining brightly at that moment, but Gui Ruoxue saw that Ning Mingmei's eyelashes were drooping, as if there was a lot of dust in the air on her eyelashes, making it very difficult for her to open them.
"It's not Wen Siheng, it's an old man." Ning Mingmei said, "An outdated old man."
At that moment, Gui Ruoxue felt again that he seemed to be divided into another world that had nothing to do with Ning Mingmei. In the world that belongs to Ning Mingmei at this moment, there is an afternoon that no one has ever set foot in, and there is a corner that is covered with dust but does not need anyone to come in and clean it. Until Ning Mingmei asked: "Wig, has anyone ever asked you to be a good person?"
"Ah?" Gui Ruoxue frowned. "Isn't that everywhere? It happens all the time. When I was in Minghua Valley, in Qingyu Altar, and when I was being chased, I heard it so many times that my ears are callused."
Ning Mingmei: “Is that so.”
At that moment, Ning Mingmei felt that such an afternoon was not suitable for thinking, but for finding a sunny place to sleep. He found a good place in Piaomiao Peak with his back alone. There is no large office building he built, no luxurious villa, and no industrial park.
It was just a simple corner that had not been renovated, with many sycamore trees and a bench.
The place was shabby and old, just like his school.
He sat on the bench with his eyes closed, alone for a long time. Until suddenly a voice came to my ear.
"Haha, Junior Brother, do you mind if I sit next to you?"
Ning Mingmei: ...
Ning Mingmei raised his eyes and was about to sneer, but then his eyes froze.
A sword flew beside him, making a sound.
Ning Mingmei: …………
A sword: "Brother, I actually want to come here myself, but it is not very convenient for me to walk now, so I sent my sword here."
Ning Mingmei: ...
A sword: "Brother, do you feel nostalgic when you see this sword? Haha, actually, this is the last sword I have with me now. I gave my other swords to you before I died, and you sold them. But you still kept my natal sword, so I let it fly over to see you and keep you company."
Ning Mingmei looked at it expressionlessly and pointed to the bench next to it: "Sit down."
I want to see how you sit.
The long sword came out of the scabbard and inserted into the gap of the bench.
...What a psycho!
Ning Mingmei could no longer bear it and said, "Lian Chengyue, why are you pretending? Be normal."
The long sword was silent for a long time. After a moment, the sword shook slightly and said, "Haha, I knew long ago that Junior Brother would find out my identity. So, Junior Brother, are you more accustomed to hearing me call you Junior Brother or Junior Brother Master?"
Ning Mingmei asked: "Where is Lian Chengyue's body? Is she still alive?"
"Of course I won't throw away my body. Besides, Junior Brother has taught me very well over the years, and I am very happy. At the moment when the memories merged, my heart was warm." Chang Jian said, "Junior Brother, you are a very good master. It would be great if I could have met you in my previous life."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Chang Jian: "Junior brother, haha, I am really happy now. It feels as refreshing as successfully submitting an assignment that was due at 11:59:59 in the middle of the night."
Ning Mingmei: "Your brain is not damaged, right?"
Changjian: "Yes, Junior Brother, I just heard the conversation between you and Baimian. Master, I am also willing to block the thunder tribulation for you. My soul is willing, my body is willing, and I have blocked it once. Junior Brother can also be moved by me. Seeing that Junior Brother is moved by him but not by me, I am really jealous. Ah, should I not say that? I should behave better in front of Master."
...Ning Mingmei stood up completely this time, and shuddered. He felt that Lian Chengyue had started to spit out garbled words.
Changjian: "It's like this, Junior Brother, I'm very nervous and don't know which mode you like. So I decided to talk about both modes."
Changjian: "Brother, don't spill the Coke on me. I'm sorry, Master, I said the wrong thing."
Ning Mingmei threw away the Coke can and walked forward expressionlessly: "I won't go to Tiantai Peak to see you."
Chang Jian: "Haha, Junior Brother, you don't have to come to see me. I will leave with you in a week."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the human world. The imperial power is changing, it's such a big event, how can I not go. And Master still needs Fire in Fire, doesn't he? I think, for Master, there should be no better partner than me." Chang Jian said.
"You're going to the human world? What are your plans?"
"I don't have any plans. I'm going to the human world as the head of the supreme elders, that's all." Chang Jian said.
Ning Mingmei suspected that his ears had missed a lot of the plot: "Huh?"
"Now that I am no longer the head, I can only be the supreme elder, haha." Chang Jian laughed heartily, "From now on, I will be the head of the supreme elders."
