Chapter 85: Sect Leader Qi and Lian Chengyue

Qi Miancheng never accepted the fact that he needed Ning Mingmei's cauldron.

One reason is that he does not believe and cannot accept that his practice needs to be constrained by anything other than himself. Having to rely on an external object, for him, is more of a handle than a help. He hated the feeling of having to be controlled.

Second, Ning Mingmei is too ordinary and unremarkable. Qi Miancheng didn't think he would be a good match for him.

The third point is the most important one.

If everyone has imagined a planned path for his or her life, then for Yu Qimiancheng, this path that is implicitly rooted in his heart is to be a bright and upright leader, a gentleman who saves the world, and the most upright and honest person in the world of immortal cultivation - even if the price is martyrdom.

Not for the Tao, but for fame. Therefore, he will do his best to restrain himself and return to the proper rites.

For such a glorious resume, Ning Mingmei would be a stain - if the world's number one person who is bright and clear needs such an ordinary junior brother like himself to maintain his cultivation, then how can he be the "number one person in the world"?

Qi Miancheng would never allow any mistakes to occur in the perfect life he had created.

Despite this, Qi Miancheng had to admit that the Ning Mingmei who came out of seclusion was much more eye-catching than the Ning Mingmei in the past. If he had not checked Ning Mingmei's soul several times and found no signs of possession, Qi Miancheng would have been convinced that Ning Mingmei had a new heart.

However, he didn't really care about his current interest in Ning Mingmei. This small deviation is not enough to affect his various decisions and his rational and decent life path.

At least, that's what he thought at this time.

"Junior brother, let's go back. It's the third watch now, and there are still two more in the fifth watch. After you go back, you can rest for another two." Qi Miancheng put the box in his arms, "Take away mother's relics tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow. It will take a month for the Lian family to discover that the lotus seeds have been stolen."

He politely asked Ning Mingmei to go first, but Ning Mingmei did not move.

Ning Mingmei folded his hands and said, "Lian Zhao used other children as medicine residue, which was really wasteful."

Qi Miancheng said: "This is inevitable. After all, it is difficult for Liancheng to find another child who is as talented as Lian Zhao but has no power or influence."

Ning Mingmei said: "Brother, are you planning to take Lian Zhao in?"

Qi Miancheng did not respond directly to this question. He looked at Ning Mingmei, with a rare flash of unknown meaning in his eyes: "Junior brother, do you think that I should wipe out the Lian family?"

"The Lian family is a noble family, and they are also the heroes who destroyed Xinghuo Island. Whether to destroy him or not is not decided by me, nor by the Qingji Sect. It is decided by the powerful families in the world of immortal cultivation." Ning Mingmei said, "It's just..."

"Can't bear it?"

Ning Mingmei: "I just think it's a pity to waste all this manpower."

No matter how you cut a genius leek, it will never be better than dozens of ordinary leeks.

All the money Lian Zhao spent was manpower.

Qi Miancheng stared at Ning Mingmei's eyes, as if trying to find some emotion in his eyes: "I heard on the way here that the Lian family had originally found a medicine dreg for Lian Zhao. He is an orphan, but he is extremely talented, even better than Lian Zhao. However, he ran away a month after he came to the Lian family. If I must accept a disciple, I prefer the helpless but talented child to Lian Zhao, who has a complicated background."

Taking Lian Zhao as his disciple would not bring much academic resources, but would consume a lot of training resources.

He accepted Lian Chengyue as his apprentice, since he was just a talented orphan and could be exploited at will.

Ning Mingmei: ...

What’s this? Should I say he is worthy of being the male lead? After all the twists and turns, fate finally came back to the point where Qi Miancheng wanted to bring Lian Chengyue back to Qingji Sect early.

System: "Ahhh! I told you a long time ago to bring Lian Chengyue back to Qingji Sect as soon as possible. Now you see, Qi Miancheng is going to take action first! After he brings the hero back and he and the hero develop a master-disciple relationship, what are you going to do?"

Thinking about that scene, the system almost fainted.

It has to be said that Qi Miancheng, with his green jade crown, bright and clear appearance, and flowing white clothes, looks more like a master of high status than Ning Mingmei, who wears glasses and looks weird.

Moreover, he is the head of Qingji Sect. Isn't it normal for a conceited admirer of the strong like Lian Chengyue to have a crush on Qi Miancheng, a gentle and beautiful flower on the mountain/the best man in the world?

The system's thousands of words converge into one sentence: "You're done."

Qi Miancheng continued, "Therefore, when I came here, I specially sent my disciples to find the whereabouts of that child. That child was also quite pitiful. He was originally an orphan, and later became a wanderer."

Ning Mingmei: ...

Qi Miancheng: "Speaking of which, Junior Brother has saved quite a few people this time. I took a quick look in Junior Brother's courtyard just now. In addition to a female doctor, there seemed to be two children. I have always known that Junior Brother lives in seclusion in the mountains, secluded all year round, and is not good at speaking. The last time I felt Junior Brother's pulse, he was extremely reluctant."

Ning Mingmei: ...

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother would personally feed the child medicine this time. He was really gentle...beyond my imagination." Qi Miancheng smiled, "Where did Junior Brother rescue that child? When I was in Yedi before, I took a quick glance at him and didn't see his face clearly. He was seriously injured and he was a mortal. I originally thought that he could not be saved, but I didn't expect that he survived. Now Tiantai Peak is still short of two disciples. This child must have good fortune after surviving a disaster. I think it would be better to accept him and the lost child as disciples... Junior Brother, what is the child's name?"

…

Should we say this is the male protagonist’s halo? How come this could be noticed?

Ning Mingmei: "I don't know. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. Why not call him Houfu?"

Actually, it can also be called a great disaster.

Even the great disaster.

Qi Miancheng: "Hmm... Houfu, it's a good name!"

The surprise on Qi Miancheng's face was fake. Ning Mingmei felt uncomfortable all over and his expression was a little unhappy.

Ning Mingmei said to the system: "This donkey ruined my plan."

How did Qi Miancheng turn into a donkey? But the system said: "What should we do? Why don't you register Lian Chengyue under your name first?"

Ning Mingmei: "How can a professor steal the principal's disciple?"

Moreover, Qi Miancheng's statement showed that he had made up his mind. He looked at Ning Mingmei's expression, as if he was trying to figure out why he was determined to win.

The night was dark, and what Ning Mingmei didn't see was that Qi Miancheng's face also darkened.

...Ning Mingmei looked a little unhappy. Since Ning Mingmei usually had a blank expression on his face, this bit of displeasure was already very obvious.

Ning Mingmei cares so much about a mortal child who seems to have no power or background?

He fed the medicine to her personally and looked displeased.

The matter of Fang Wu Yu can be forgotten, and so can the matter of those two talisman cultivators. But what about the child? That child hasn't even started to cultivate to become an immortal.

Ning Mingmei still showed great interest in him.

A feeling of displeasure surged into Qi Miancheng's heart. This kind of unhappiness contains a sense of being ignored and arrogance.

Qi Miancheng might not have really wanted to accept this child in the first place. However, it now seems that it would be a good idea to take him away from Ning Mingmei's sight. Along the way, he saw Ning Mingmei in deep thought, and the feeling of wanting to take the child away in front of him became stronger.

Do I have to continue watching Ning Mingmei being intimate with a mortal child?

What's so special about mortal children?

However, if a mere mortal child entered the Qingji Sect, it would be easy for him to become lost in the crowd and never cause any trouble again.

Qi Miancheng didn't know why either. After seeing the child in the window from afar, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

Just as he sat in meditation in the Master's Peak every day, he always had a strange feeling when he saw his face and three swords in the mirror.

And there was this junior fellow student in front of him who was behaving strangely, but he couldn't take his eyes off him. All of this constituted the reason for him to accept a disciple in front of Ning Mingmei.

The system then asked Ning Mingmei: "Why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?"

Ning Mingmei: "I was thinking, it's okay, Qi Miancheng will die sooner or later. When the time comes, I will inherit all his inheritance, including his disciples and house."

system:……

But it doesn't matter. Just a Liancheng moon. Even if he went to the Master's Peak in advance, Ning Mingmei would still have a way to change the plan.

but.

This is really troublesome.

Ning Mingmei said: "This is also the luck of Lian Danan. When will you accept a disciple, Senior Brother?"

Qi Miancheng felt a kind of inexplicable disappointment when he saw that Ning Mingmei answered naturally. But his tone was gentle: "Tomorrow."

When the two arrived at Ning Mingmei's courtyard, a gust of wind blew away the dark clouds that were covering the bright moon.

There should be no one in the yard, but Ning Mingmei discovered that there was a figure under the tree.

A child sat under the tree, nodding his head.

…It turned out to be Lian Chengyue.

Ning Mingmei asked him: "What are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice coming, the sleepy child raised his head.

Lian Chengyue's skin was originally fair, and after being seriously injured again, his cheeks became even thinner and paler like a piece of melting snow.

Perhaps because he had just recovered from a serious illness, he seemed to have not yet reacted: "I'm waiting for the Immortal Master to come back..."

Ning Mingmei: "What are you waiting for me for?"

Like a watchdog.

Lian Chengyue said softly, "I just woke up today. I heard from my sister that I wanted to thank you for taking care of me. So I thought of waiting for you at the door to express my gratitude."

That's quite a nice and loyal statement. If Ning Mingmei hadn't known that the child was a bad person, he would have almost believed it.

Lian Chengyue waited for him, and I guess he could only get five points to express his gratitude. The remaining five points depend on performing in front of Ning Mingmei.

After all, his wrists and ankles are now skinny, and any normal person with sympathy would feel pity for him.

Ning Mingmei said: "Okay. Got it. Go back to your room and sleep. By the way..."

I almost forgot that Qi Miancheng is still next to me.

Ning Mingmei turned his head and immediately discovered something strange. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Miancheng.

Qi Miancheng was probably looking at him at first, a little absent-mindedly. But just now, as the conversation ended, he and Ning Mingmei looked at the child in the moonlight and nodded to him.

Is this the child that Ning Mingmei is concerned about?

It doesn't look anything more than that.

Then, the moment he saw the child's face clearly, Qi Miancheng's expression stiffened slightly.

"I am... Lian Chengyue."

Something was surging in his mind, as if it was about to break out of the ground.
