Chapter 81 Even a Dog Would Save

Ning Mingmei sat on the edge of the bed and lifted the child's eyelids a little.

"The wound on his neck has actually healed, that's amazing." Ning Mingmei said to Gui Ruoxue, "How long will it take for him to wake up?"

Gui Ruoxue said: "Seven days at the shortest."

Ning Mingmei hummed: "Seven days..."

Gui Ruoxue was very observant: "Are you worried about him?"

Ning Mingmei: "Is his blood okay?"

Gui Ruoxue:?

Mid-spring has arrived in Liancheng. Willow branches are swaying outside the window, and shadows are falling on the child's pale face. Ning Mingmei looked at the shadow, but what he was thinking about was the fire.

The light and shadow of the flame in the palm of your hand reflected on the face of a child in a dark room.

He watched the flame as it burned in his hands. Isn't it just like the expressions of relatives when a college admission letter is passed around among them?

Suddenly, the system heard these words from Ning Mingmei's heart.

"Forget it, I'll make a small investment in you first." Ning Mingmei said to himself, "You have to pay a price to get something from me. Lian Chengyue, you have to pay this gift back slowly in the future."

After Gui Ruoxue left, Ning Mingmei bent down and put a handful of osmanthus flowers in his hand into Lian Chengyue's mouth.

…

The child Lian Chengyue had a dark dream.

He stood in the gray and grim wasteland, his ears filled with voices threatening to kill him, condemning him for his viciousness, and criticizing him for being ridiculous. There are also those who keep saying that they want to save him, but every word they say comes from the belief that they can “educate” him and make him good.

Then it was his foster mother who whipped his palms with a bamboo stick and pinched his neck, asking him to suppress his strength.

Furthermore, there are those high-ranking Jindan cultivators of the Lian family. Their eyes were filled with envy and contempt, calling him Lian Zhao's dregs.

These people are so contradictory. They worship "the supremacy of power", but when real power comes into the world, they become confused in their language and clamor for the use of "morality" and "ethics" to carry out judgment.

Amidst all the dirty and disgusting logical chaos, something cool fell between his lips and tongue, with a slightly sweet taste.

Lian Chengyue felt resistance at first. He was born to seize, but he never believed in gifts that were too precious and given without reason, but reason clamored for him to swallow them up with big mouthfuls.

Until he heard the man say: "…return it back slowly."

At that moment, all resistance disappeared and everything became black and white and clear. He closed his eyes and let the elixir flow into his throat.

"It looks like we can get blood earlier this time."

After feeding Lian Chengyue, Ning Mingmei left the room. As soon as he opened the door, Ning Mingmei saw someone he didn't expect.

White clothes, jade crown, and a gentle smile.

Qi Mian Cheng.

Ning Mingmei: "Why are you here?"

Qi Miancheng said: "Brother, I have ordered my disciples to plant your laurel tree."

Ning Mingmei: "Thank you for reporting to me, Brother. Now you can go back to your work."

Qi Miancheng acted as if he hadn't heard the previous sentence: "How is your health, Junior Brother? Are you still feeling unwell?"

“…”

The master had arrived, and all the disciples leaned out to see him, even Hu Yang.

Qi Miancheng's discovery of Hu Yang is roughly equivalent to Qi Miancheng's discovery of Wu Yun, which is roughly equivalent to Qi Miancheng's discovery of Gui Ruoxue.

It would be fine if Qi Miancheng discovered Gui Ruoxue. Ning Mingmei believed that even if Gui Ruoxue had to escape now, she would be able to use her academic enthusiasm to infiltrate Qingji Sect and climb into Piaomiao Peak in the future.

But Wu Yun is different.

For a prisoner like Wu Yun, if not in the prison at Piaomiao Peak, then where else would he be imprisoned? Wu Yun's offense to Ye Di was almost equivalent to an offense to the royal family of the human world, and almost equivalent to an offense to Fang Wuyu, the celestial dragon. Qi Miancheng and Fang Wuyu have a close relationship. If Qi Miancheng discovered Wu Yun's existence, how could Ning Mingmei uphold justice and shoulder Piaomiao Peak's social responsibility?

Ning Mingmei sheltered three fugitives (Gui Ruoxue, Wu Yun, and Hu Yang) in one courtyard, so he said calmly: "Brother, this is my first time to the Lian family. Take me around the Lian family, and I will feel comfortable when I see new scenery."

Qi Miancheng didn't expect him to make this request. He frowned and said, "I'm not familiar with the Lian family."

Ning Mingmei took a step forward calmly, blocking Qi Miancheng's view of Hu Yang: "It's okay, I want to take a walk with my brother."

Qi Miancheng looked slightly behind him and saw an open window.

Ning Mingmei moved again, naturally blocking him again: "Senior Brother."

Qi Miancheng seemed to know what Ning Mingmei's purpose was, but in the end, he did not point out anything.

He just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you around the Lian family."

The crisis of confiscated academic slaves has been temporarily resolved. Ning Mingmei walked out of the courtyard naturally with Qi Miancheng.

Qi Miancheng said, "I heard from my disciples that the child you took away from Wangyue Town is now seriously injured? Just now, Junior Brother was in that room. Did he go to see the child?"

Ning Mingmei said: "Yes, it can be considered unlucky. Fortunately, the matter of Yedi was finally resolved and the evildoers were brought to justice. I also gained the due...sense of accomplishment."

Just 20 million.

Ning Mingmei rarely says a word that shows his conscience. The system was very surprised: "You are beginning to think that Lian Chengyue is unlucky!"

Ning Mingmei: "What? Of course it's my own bad luck."

The blood bags that were finally found were either poisoned or injured, and they also ate all kinds of strange things over and over again. If Lian Chengyue was a bottle of drink, the ingredient list would be more than one meter long by now.

"Under such circumstances, I can still let bygones be bygones and continue to drink his blood. I am truly magnanimous!"

system:……

So there is not even a word of conscience!

"The incident in Yedi has caused a big stir. I'm sure that in two days, people from the imperial court will come to investigate thoroughly. I heard that the descendant of Jiang, one of the five deputy generals, passed the imperial examination in the capital and became an official in the imperial court after moving out of Yedi." Qi Miancheng said, "By then, the old case of the Li people should also surface."

"Justice is served? That's great." Ning Mingmei said casually.

"Do you think it's justice, Junior Brother?" Qi Miancheng suddenly said, "Justice delayed is never justice. It's justice. It gives bystanders a little hope that they can still live well in this fair world, so that they can continue to work hard for the vision of others wholeheartedly."

Ning Mingmei raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at him.

It was very strange that Qi Miancheng said such extreme and gloomy words.

Qi Miancheng grew up in the Qi family, the most famous celebrity family in the fairy world. His father is the well-known head of the Qi family, and his mother is the renowned genius Lian Tingyu. When he was born, the sky was full of clouds. When he was five years old, he was found to have a mutated spiritual root that was rare in the world of immortals for a thousand years. When he was ten years old, he was accepted as the first disciple by Wuwei Zhenren, the leader of the Qingji Sect at that time.

From then on, life goes smoothly and everything you see is bright. He never saw fellow disciples fighting over resources, because Master Wuwei had prepared everything for his direct disciple, even the furnace and cauldron were taken into consideration; he never saw mortals fighting over scarce resources, because the Qi family's sword-making business could provide him with everything he needed; when he traveled in the demon world, he didn't have to worry about the great monks trying to kill him, because everyone knew that he not only had a father who was the head of a family, but also a genius mother, Lian Tingyu, who was known for her ruthlessness and revenge.

In his view, "fairness and justice" should be taken for granted, and being a saint is also taken for granted. Because he lives in such a world.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Qi Miancheng to say such words.

Noticing that Ning Mingmei was looking at him, Qi Miancheng smiled and said, "But Junior Brother, you really care about that child. Junior Brother was so tired from the long journey that he didn't even have the energy to talk to me. But when we arrived at Lian's house, Junior Brother didn't even think about taking a rest. After saying goodbye to me, he went to see him immediately."

If the first half of the sentence could be considered a polite concern between fellow apprentices, the second half was a bit off.

Why does this sound... like something that sounds like jealousy?

Even the people coming and going around were looking at them. Ning Mingmei said: "He was seriously injured."

Qi Miancheng: "Yes. The child was indeed seriously injured and very weak. But I was also seriously injured a few days ago."

Ning Mingmei: "..."

Fortunately, in public, Qi Miancheng did not shed another drop of blood from the corner of his mouth.

Is this because the special ability of bleeding at any time has disappeared?

Or is it that Qi Miancheng always looks cheerful and cheerful whenever there are outsiders around? Only when facing him in private does he look like an artificial idiot with a lot of drama?

Ning Mingmei never wastes time on internal affairs, he only changes the subject: "Where are we now?"

As they were talking, they had already passed the villa that the Lian family had allocated for them to live in and arrived at a new place.

Qi Miancheng said: "I don't know. I have never been to the Lian family before."

...Is this lost?

"The Lian family is also your maternal ancestors' home, haven't you been here before?" Ning Mingmei said.

"Although my mother Lian Tingyu was once a member of the Lian family, she has no connection with the Lian family since she left." Qi Miancheng said calmly, "I came here just to retrieve my mother's relics."

Wait a minute... Lian Tingyu?

Is he the Lian Tingyu mentioned by the Demon Lord, who had an affair with the evil concubine Jiang Heng?

Ning Mingmei has not forgotten his hatred with Jiang Duo. He immediately said, "Brother, I'm so sorry to hear this news."

Qi Miancheng said: "Nothing. My mother has been dead for decades."

Ning Mingmei said, "Brother, please accept my condolences. I have heard of your mother's name for a long time, and I am very curious about the relationship between your mother and the Lian family. I wonder if you would be willing to tell me? If not, it is okay."

Ning Mingmei took a few more steps, but found Qi Miancheng stopped, so he asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Qi Miancheng's face was half bright and half dark under the shadow of the willow branches. "I just suddenly realized that my junior brother only calls me senior brother when he needs my help."

Ning Mingmei lied with his eyes open: "Really? Aren't we, the brothers of the Qingji Sect, always the most united and helpful?"

Qi Miancheng suddenly laughed.

"Yes." He said, "So I have to think of a way to make my fellow apprentice feel that I am more useful."

The last sentence didn't seem to come from the steady and self-controlled leader Qi Miancheng.

It was like a snake, hissing in the dark.

If Ning Mingmei looked back at him at this moment, he would be able to see Qi Miancheng's eyes that did not conceal his true self - no smile, no sympathy as a human being, more like a predator in the abyss.

But Ning Mingmei didn't.

"Really? Senior brother is the leader of Qingji Sect. Who dares to say that the leader of Qingji Sect is useless?" he said.

Just a few words, like a lazy cat lying by the window, its eyes are good at night vision, and it can use its claws to achieve great results.

Qi Miancheng said: "Is that so? But I always feel that Junior Brother is very resistant to me. Junior Brother is taking care of a strange child, and he is closer to me."

Ning Mingmei: ...

How come he could sense a hint of naked possessiveness and desire for conquest in these words?

"That child helped me and was really pitiful. Even if it was a dog there, I would have saved it." Ning Mingmei pretended as if he hadn't noticed anything and remained calm.

Qi Miancheng actually smiled: "Really? That would be best."

…

I really can't stand some people who don't know how to manage their emotions in interpersonal relationships.

"The story of my mother and the Lian family started hundreds of years ago. Before that, we must first talk about the Lian family's martial arts." Qi Miancheng actually changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "The Lian family's martial arts is..."

"Master Qi, I finally found you." A servant saw him and ran towards him breathlessly, "The clan leader wants you to go to Dezheng Hall... Will this Immortal Ning come with you?"

The author has something to say:

Qi Miancheng now: Very good, my junior said that he would save the child even if he was a dog (relieved)

Qi Miancheng who regained his memory: ...He actually said he would save any dog? !
