Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male prot...
Chapter 89 Qingji Sect! Your emperor is back!
The Qingji Sect encountered a huge uproar in June of early summer.
A small fairy carriage with a black sail drove into Tiantai Peak. From then on, Tiantai Peak was under martial law, and barriers were set up inside and outside the inner gate to restrict disciples from entering and leaving. The disciples of Qingji Sect didn't know what had happened in the sect, and they were in a panic and talking about it.
The system has only one comment on this.
"Qingji Sect! Your emperor is back!"
Ning Mingmei returned to his loyal Piaomiao Peak with twelve disciples, two Yinbing Pavilion talisman practitioners, a new little apprentice, a Gui Ruoxue, two Yedi coolies, a Guanghan laurel and 45 million.
The two Tiantai Peak disciples were returned to Qi Miancheng. Qi Miancheng was still unconscious. Ning Mingmei lay on Qi Miancheng in front of Fang Wuyu at Tiantai Peak and shed a few hypocritical tears.
"This journey is very dangerous. Before my brother passed out, he said that when he returned to Qingji Sect, he would pick seven good swords for me." Ning Mingmei buried his glasses in Qi Miancheng, "Brother, when can you wake up? Brother, what happened to you? Brother, you said you would pick swords for me when you wake up. Brother, you said it, brother, you said it, brother, you."
If Ning Mingmei called him "senior brother" enough times, no one would be able to detect his insincerity. Bai Ruoru's eyes turned red because of the calls, and she promised to bring Ning Mingmei to Xiang Wuxing to pick up the sword tomorrow.
"Old Xiang is on his way back. He has a lot of good swords. When he comes back, I'll take you to choose from him." Bai Ruoru said.
Bai Ruoru is the Princess of Yunnan. When Ning Mingmei left, she made dumplings for him. Xiang Wuxing is from Northeast China, and Bai Ruoru calls her senior brother "Old Xiang".
Ning Mingmei then understood something.
The two Yuting Peak disciples were returned to Yin Xisheng. At the turn of spring and summer, Yin Xisheng fell ill again. Every day he stayed in Yuting Peak, where the four seasons were like spring, holding a hand warmer in his arms. Even Qi Miancheng fainted and was unable to get up to go to Tiantai Peak to see him.
The two disciples, He Zheng felt as if he had been pardoned, and Jiang Yu looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave. After hearing that his master was seriously ill again and couldn't get up, the five points of reluctance in Jiang Yu's eyes suddenly rose to ten points.
Perhaps Ning Mingmei sensed her reluctance. Gaolingzhihua glanced at her and pushed up her glasses: "Xiaoyu, let me give you a message. Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."
Self-reliance.
Jiang Yu understood.
"If the youth are strong, the peak will be strong; if the youth are rich, the peak will be rich. Where you stand is the place you love. Don't look at what Piao Miao Peak looks like. Since the master is sick and weak, the disciple should be self-reliant. Wherever I am, that is Piao Miao Peak!" Jiang Yu said to himself.
He Zheng next to him looked at Jiang Yu with fear. He suddenly remembered that his junior sister was a well-known, popular, fair, wealthy and beautiful woman throughout Yuting Peak. Many people rushed to follow her and have a taste of her beauty.
"Brother, what's wrong?" A young disciple from Yuting Peak passed by and asked, "I want to hear about what you and Sister have seen and heard."
He Zheng: "...Nothing, I just feel like something dirty has entered Yuting Peak."
Young disciple: “Ah?”
Jiang Yu turned his back to them, still thinking: "If I practice alone without a few people to discuss with me, it will only be a waste of time. Now that the disciples from Piao Miao Peak have gone back, I have to find a few disciples from Yu Ting Peak to study with me."
He Zheng: "...Junior sister."
Jiang Yu: "First, I have to catch a bear from the back mountain!"
? ?
Jiang Yu: "Then show them my excellent binding skills! First, I will bind them, and then let them bind with me. After a few times, they will also find the benefits of binding based on 'freedom'. From then on, they will also be willing to practice with me."
If Ning Mingmei was here, he would definitely say, "Jiang Yu is indeed a genius of Qingji Sect. This unlocks the hidden units: study group partners and practice classes."
At this moment, He Zheng just wanted to say.
Ahhhh! Something dirty has entered Yuting Peak!
Ning Mingmei is certainly not here. As the "most beloved junior brother" of Yin Xisheng, the leader of Yuting Peak, Ning Mingmei was awarded the right to enter Yin Xisheng's room and go straight to Yin Xisheng's boudoir.
There is a faint fragrance in the house. Yin Xisheng leaned on the couch, his pale face outlined in the shape of jade by the shadows. He simply greeted Ning Mingmei and said, "I heard that Junior Brother brought back a female doctor?"
...Yin Xisheng is really well-informed.
Ning Mingmei replied calmly: "Yes, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. Besides, I also brought back a osmanthus tree."
Yin Xisheng: “Oh?”
The voice was casual and a little gloomy.
It seems that Yin Xisheng was very unhappy about Ning Mingmei suddenly bringing people back.
——You are a cauldron, but you want to bring a mortal woman back to Qingji Sect?
Ning Mingmei: "Brother planted plum trees on Yuting Peak for Hu Zi. Such deep affection inspired me. She likes osmanthus trees, so I also planted osmanthus trees on Piaomiao Peak for her."
Merlin’s beard, Guilin’s snow.
Yin Xisheng sat up abruptly despite his serious illness: "What beard? When did I ever have a relationship called 'beard'?"
"Brother, are you going to hide this from me? Everyone in Qingji Sect knows that you love that beard so much." Ning Mingmei said, revealing a little "let something slip" expression, "I shouldn't have mentioned your vulnerable side, but I didn't expect that even in front of me, you wouldn't want to admit the pain in your heart."
Yin Xisheng: "I'm not..."
The voice was so hoarse, as if the throat was about to be coughed out.
Ning Mingmei lowered his head sadly: "Brother, I'm sorry, just pretend I don't know. As expected, Brother is not that close to me. Brother, I'm leaving first. I still have to return the remaining four disciples to Shen Liwan. Brother, now that the two disciples have been returned to you, we can be considered to have borrowed and returned."
Veins finally popped out of Yin Xisheng’s neck: “Come back here!!”
Ning Mingmei certainly wouldn't look back. After he finished telling the dirty talk, he covered his face expressionlessly as he passed by Yin Xisheng's trusted disciple. The four trusted disciples looked at the man who was leaving with his face covered in shock.
Isn’t this the first day that the Sword-wielding Elder returned? What is he doing?
There was also the Master’s trembling words in the room: “Come back here.”
Only the most courageous and trusted disciples went in. Ning Mingmei seemed to be running fast in the ripples, but he was actually eavesdropping by relying on his cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Sure enough, Ning Mingmei heard Yin Xisheng's voice coming from the room.
"Go and check for me the story between me and a monk named Beard. Who said that I planted that mer forest for her?"
The system was still scolding Ning Mingmei in his mind: "You made up a rumor about Yin Xisheng, which is groundless. Aren't you afraid that Yin Xisheng will find out that no one else in the sect knows about this rumor, and you will be beaten after he reacts."
Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses up: "He fell into the trap. As soon as he started sending people to ask, the rumor started to spread."
system:?
Ning Mingmei: "You must know that when a rumor spreads the most widely, that is when the rumor maker starts to refute it."
As long as Yin Xisheng starts asking about Yin Xisheng and Hu Zi, the Qingji Sect will naturally be filled with rumors about Yin Xisheng and Hu Zi.
By then, Yin Xisheng really wouldn’t know where the rumor came from.
In fact, you made up the rumor yourself.
The system hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I think that Merlin may have something to do with you..."
At that time, Qi Miancheng danced with sword for Ning Mingmei in the plum forest of Tiantai Peak. They were full of affection and they danced back and forth.
Ning Mingmei only saw that Qi Miancheng gave him a sword worth one million yuan, but Yin Xisheng behind the Merlin saw the entire white Merlin.
After Yin Xisheng returned, he had people plant this field of green plums that were worth a fortune. It's hard not to think that Yin Xisheng is implying something.
Even jealous.
Ning Mingmei: "It doesn't matter. The scandal will cost you a promotion, and liking someone is worthless."
And the most important point is.
Ning Mingmei: "Yin Xisheng didn't ask me to return the two million. During this trip, except for the first day in the village, we ate free food every day."
system:……
Ning Mingmei: "I asked them to catch rabbits and roast them when they were hungry, under the pretext of training their ability to catch monsters. At night, we slept in the car. And because we went everywhere to subdue monsters, we ate the meals of the clients. So from beginning to end, I didn't spend a penny. The two million went into my pocket. This is the good thing about being a master. You can use 'training personal abilities' as an excuse to ask your disciples to do something. If the disciples don't listen, it means 'you are ignorant and don't understand how useful this will be for your future development.'"
Ning Mingmei's existing assets have been upgraded again and are currently 47 million. He went to Jixian Peak to return the person with a calm face.
Jixian Peak is still very lively. As expected of Lao Feng, he is the executive director. There are so many people running errands, sitting in the office, eating for free, serving tea and water to the leader, and cleaning the office.
Ning Mingmei sat on a carved wooden chair, with four dusty-looking disciples from Jixian Peak standing behind him. He smiled at Shen Liwan: "Master Shen, look, I brought back all four of them for you in one piece. They are almost all new."
Shen Liwan looked at the four listless disciples and was very shocked.
Ning Mingmei’s brand new one is no different from the “try on only” ones on Xianyu. They said "just try it on", but when it was sent to me, the tag was removed, the belt was gone, there were sweat stains on the collar, and it smelled like hot pot.
This is what the four disciples seem to be like at the moment.
Shen Liwan was also shocked. You should know that the intensity of work at Jixian Peak is not something that normal disciples can endure. There are intrigues every day. Even which direction to go when entering the door to get water, how much water to get, and how to change the water are all knowledge.
What exactly did Ning Mingmei lead them to do?
However, Shen Liwan was still cordial and friendly, and met with Ning Mingmei even more enthusiastically. There is no other reason, it’s just that Ning Mingmei came back with Qi Miancheng.
They were so close, so what if he let Shen Liwan flatter him? Anyway, it was his disciples who suffered, not him.
Ning Mingmei took away a bunch of treats from Shen Liwan and went to Gongshan Hall to get the money. Ning Mingmei’s status is different now than before. Before he entered, the head of Gongshan Hall came out to greet him.
"Oh, thank you for troubling Master Ning to make a special trip." The hall master's face was filled with smiles. "As for the spirit stones, I have already sent disciples to Piaomiao Peak. Now everyone in the sect knows that Master Ning went out to do good deeds. With only ten disciples, he cleared all the demons and villains around Liuyue Lake and completed all the tasks. Everyone is praising Master Ning for his good deeds!"
Ning Mingmei nodded: "Good."
Hall Master: "Master Ning Feng, is there anything else you need? Please speak up, please speak up."
Ning Mingmei: "Help me spread the word about my good deeds to the outer sects. And tell them that Piao Miao Peak only needs a small number of the best disciples."
Ning Mingmei turned and flew away. On the way, he really felt that he was different now. Along the way, whether they were inner disciples or outer disciples, they all pointed and talked about his background.
"This is the sword-wielding elder from Piao Miao Peak!"
"I only knew he was good at seclusion before. I didn't expect that he would be so good at keeping quiet and making a big splash!"
"Oh my god, I used to only hear people say that among the twelve main peaks of the inner sect, Piao Miao Peak is the most incompetent and is treated worse than the outer sect. Now it seems that it is only because Piao Miao Peak keeps a low profile."
The system asked Ning Mingmei: "Why did you ask the head of the Gongshan Hall to tell the people outside that you only wanted a small number of the best disciples? I see that you seem to be in great need of disciples."
Isn't it better to have more laborers working?
Ning Mingmei said, "You don't understand. Rumors are one thing, and treatment is another. First of all, this sentence can arouse the competitiveness of the outer disciples. It is hunger marketing - maybe Piaomiao Peak is not that good, but it is limited, so it seems particularly good. I learned this method from a great man named Qiao."
System: “Who?”
Ning Mingmei: "Jobs. Besides, it can also save my reputation for not being able to recruit disciples - after all, other peaks are also very strong. And smart disciples know that rumors are one thing, and actual treatment is another. But it just so happens that I need smart people to become stupid and work for me."
Is it really okay for you to talk like this?
Ning Mingmei calculated the amount of money he could get. Except for the people from Ye Di who withdrew their orders, the total amount of money he could get now was 57 million.
Fifty-seven million!
Half a year ago, who could have imagined that Ning Mingmei could earn 57 million just by traveling back in time for half a year!
It's time to build a building!
On the first day back at school, Ning Mingmei had to see everyone off and do one last thing: go to the Sikong Hall of Qingji Sect.
Sikongtang, the architectural department of Qing Jizong, is the department with the largest number of people and is in charge of construction and repair matters. It's hard, tiring, dirty and lacks oil and water.
As expected, when Ning Mingmei was welcomed into the inner room by the head of Sikong Hall, he saw that the square of Sikong Hall was in a mess and the disciples were running around busily. The head of Sikong Hall was a skinny old man whose life had been taken away by work, but he still served Ning Mingmei the best tea.
The old man spoke in a rhythmic manner: "Master Ning Feng!"
Ning Mingmei saw respect for herself in his eyes. This is the result of the new trip, which broke the world record for the fastest completion of the strip in Qingji Sect.
But there must be other reasons besides this. First, it is really good to be the principal's most beloved junior brother, and second, it is inseparable from the help of those silent coolies in Piaomiao Peak.
Ning Mingmei felt at ease with this. He said, "Master, I came to you today because Piao Miao Peak has something to do... I want to ask you, how many disciples in Sikong Hall are good at architecture?"
The hall master reported a number.
"Okay, free up their schedule for the next year." Ning Mingmei said the bully's words naturally, "I want to build a new building on Piaomiao Peak... or a group of buildings."
Hall Master: ...
The hall master was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Ning Mingmei, a poor guy, could actually build a building. He asked: "What kind of building do you want? Where is it located? What materials are used? What style is it in? What is it used for?"
This made Ning Mingmei a little embarrassed. After all, as Party A, Ning Mingmei never thought of making a clear and explicit request.
For something like a plan, let Party B generate a hundred plans first, and then Party A picks one from them. Isn't this the normal state of cooperation?
Ning Mingmei was meditating on the prototype of "colorful black" when a sweet voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Chu, I put the things you want here."
The owner of the voice sounded like a young girl, and she was obviously very popular here. There were noises coming from outside the door again.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister Zi!"
"Junior Sister A Zi, thank you for coming all this way..."
"Junior sister, have you decided to join the outer sect department?"
"I think it would be best for Junior Sister to go to the Spirit Beast Garden and Spirit Herb Garden! It's the easiest place to work and you can earn more money there. With Junior Sister's ability, you will definitely be able to get in."
"As for our Sikong Hall, it's better not to come."
Ning Mingmei glanced outside and saw a beautiful girl in a purple dress standing there, talking to other people with a smile.
The girl now realized that she was being watched. She turned her head back and saw him too.
