Liuming Mountain and Fanyin Temple collapsed.

Ningning stood in front of the two dead fish, her face also looked very bad.

Not only because of the tragic situation of Yonggui and Bai Ye, but there was another more important reason.

At the moment when Bai Ye fell from the sky, an extremely harsh sound passed by her ears, like a sharp blade, and went straight into her mind.

It was the prompt sound issued by the system. When it sounded unexpectedly, it scared Ningning.

——So, what is the plot now?

She was confused. While helping the two people up from the ground, she carefully read the words that appeared in her mind.

[Ningning stared at Meng Ju's close back, and a sinister and fierce light appeared in her eyes.

Although he was the eldest senior brother in name, he always looked down on her. Whenever he saw her making things difficult for Pei Ji, he would always stand on the latter's side, causing her a lot of setbacks.

She was unwilling to accept this.

Why did everyone have to side with Pei Ji? He was just the offspring of a demon cultivator, a monster who was not worthy of being on the stage, while she came from a prominent family with a promising future. No matter how she thought about it, she should be the one who was pampered.

A bunch of idiots!

Thinking of Meng Ju's usual sarcasm, an idea slowly emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Ning Ning thought that she wanted to kill him.

The sixty-second floor was extremely dangerous, and now only she and Meng Ju were left. As long as they found the blind spot of the nearby vision spirits and used a little trick...

when he died without a burial place, who could hold her accountable? Ning

Ning's scalp tingled and a cold wind blew up her back.

In previous missions, although the system would arrange some plots for her that matched the positioning of a vicious female supporting role, they were often verbal disputes or pranks that did not cause much trouble. This time it was completely different.

She wanted to kill Meng Ju.

The memories buried deep in her heart woke up a little bit, and Ning Ning roughly remembered the plot about the Demon Refining Tower.

Pei Ji was a loner and had almost never communicated or cooperated with others, so there were very few descriptions of other disciples in the original book.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, Ning Ning was one of the "very few".

As long as the plot doesn't go wrong, they will meet Meng Du later, and the four of them will work in pairs to explore the secrets of this place separately.

When she and Meng Du climb to the top of the cliff and stand in a blind spot, Ning Ning must reach out and push him forward.

- Of course, this move will definitely not succeed.

Meng Du was so smart that he noticed something wrong the moment she approached quietly. When Ning Ning's palm was about to touch him, he turned around.

He just happened to see her straight outstretched hand with ulterior motives.

I think Meng Du had been prepared for this, and the reason he turned his head at that point was to maximize her embarrassment.

Such an obvious murderous gesture was simply speechless.

Ning Ning's face flushed and goosebumps appeared all over her body just by imagining the scene at that time. At the same time, she couldn't help thinking:

Even at that critical moment, Meng Du didn't forget to deliberately play tricks on her. He was really mean.

Her brain must have been enlightened.

The moment this thought filled her mind, Ning Ning heard a familiar clear male voice: "Junior Sister Ning Ning?"

As soon as she raised her eyes, she met a pair of smiling black eyes.

Meng Du, who was about to become her assassination target, knew nothing about it. Perhaps he was amused by the little girl's silly look, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "What are you thinking about?"

"I, I'm thinking--"

Ning Ning's brain was working rapidly.

Although she was controlled by the system, she had a brain and would never be stupid enough to blindly succumb to the system.

Based on previous experiences, the system often did not look at the results, but only focused on the process she did meticulously.

In other words, as long as she made a move to push forward at the top of the cliff and found a legitimate reason, she might be able to escape the fate of being caught on the spot by Meng Ju and suffering from deep hatred and pain from then on.

Thinking of this, Ning Ning's eyes lit up.

She had a way.

Meng Ju folded his arms in front of his chest and quietly looked at the extremely wonderful changes in his little sister's expression.

She had been in a state of despair before, like a fathead fish, staring with bulging eyes and blowing bubbles non-stop;

now she suddenly had a shot of chicken blood, and her whole body shook, like a thousand-year-old zongzi that had risen from the dead.

He found it somewhat funny, and curled the corners of his mouth honestly.

Ning Ning saw that he was in a good mood, and smiled with bright eyes, but her tone was mysterious: "Brother, have you ever heard of a set of palm techniques that fall from the sky?"

Meng Ju cooperated very well and said: "Oh? You tell me."

The little girl smiled when she got the answer, and slowly stretched out her hands, making a gesture of pushing forward.

She moved clumsily and looked sullen, and raised her arms at an extremely slow speed. As her body moved slightly, her hands swayed left and right in the air, pushing out two natural semicircles.

From a fathead fish to a turtle grandma with the red breath of sunset.

"This is the traditional martial arts in my hometown, called Tai Chi Bagua Zhang."

Ning Ning said seriously: "I have been studying hard recently, and I just hope to show my palm skills on the top of the mountain. I must have the style of a martial arts master."

After finishing her nonsense, Ning Ning just wanted to applaud herself in her heart.

What does it mean to turn decay into miracle and save the situation? She is simply a genius!

When they reached the top of the cliff, her breath was detected by Meng Ju, who turned around and was about to ask her a question loudly,

but she took a horse stance with a righteous look in her eyes, moved her palms away from behind him in a circle, and finally made a particularly sincere invitation: "Brother, come and practice Tai Chi with me!"

It was so convincing that no one could refute it.

It must not be long before two figures practicing Tai Chi side by side appeared on the cliff surrounded by black mist, light and gentle, full of righteousness!

Ning Ning touched her nose without much confidence.

... Probably, that's it.

=====

Good fortune and bad fortune are inevitable. After Bai Ye and Yonggui simply bandaged their wounds, everything began to proceed in an orderly manner according to the original plot.

The monsters on the 62nd floor were rampant, and the strong demonic energy was everywhere.

The group was determined to gain more points in this barren mountain. After a brief discussion, they decided to act in pairs to find the opportunities and evil spirits hidden in the secret realm.

And Pei Ji, who has not yet appeared.

Ning Ning and Meng Di, as fellow brothers and sisters, were naturally assigned to the same group and kept moving towards the top of the mountain.

She had a guilty conscience and was very nervous along the way, but Meng Di seemed to be in a good mood and enjoyed finding topics to talk about.

The mountains were quiet. All one could see were clusters of gray-black tree corpses that were as dry as skeletons. They looked like restless souls, casting twisted shadows in the darkness.

There was no sign of monsters on either side of the road. Only occasionally could one hear the cries of unknown animals, which were like weeping and complaining, as if they were filled with deep murderous intent and hatred.

Ningning followed Meng Du and searched around. After a while, she reached the top of the mountain without realizing it.

The disturbing reminder sound also rang at the right time.

[Ding Dong!]

[Please push Meng Du off the cliff.]

The brevity of the words was the most infuriating, leaving her no room to breathe.

Ning Ning was confused and although she was reluctant, she could only follow the plot and pretend to be curious as she walked towards the end of the cliff step by step.

Meng Zhu knew that she had little spiritual power left, so to ensure her safety, he followed her.

The top of the mountain was very high, and she could not see the bottom when she leaned over, and could only see a chaotic abyss.

The boundless darkness was like a dark and empty pupil, staring at her without blinking, making her feel confused and panicked, and she frowned quietly.

"It's so high!"

Ning Ning recited the original lines step by step: "Senior brother, come and take a look! You can't see such a scene anywhere else."

The tone of this sentence was brisk and lively, and people couldn't hear anything unusual. Meng Zhu rarely refused her requests. Hearing this, he took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of the cliff.

The most defenseless back stopped within her reach.

It's time.

Ning Ning took a deep breath and retreated behind him.

When she stretched her arms forward, her whole heart was hanging in the air.

Her palm was about to touch Meng Zhu's back.

Her heart was pounding.

Wait.

In addition to the sound of her beating heart, why did she hear another sound...similar to the howl of a beast?

This is absolutely wrong.

Ning Ning's heart shuddered, and the moment she turned her head suddenly, her eyes couldn't help but widen.

Who can tell her.

Why in the dense forest behind her and Meng Zhu...a demon wolf with scarlet eyes suddenly appeared!

The demon wolf rushed towards the two of them with great momentum. Wherever it passed, the black mist became thicker and thicker, spreading layers of deathly aura.

Ning Ning was confused by this sudden situation and screamed wildly in her heart.

Stop it, this is not the original plot at all! If this wolf rushed out at this time, wouldn’t the senior brother turn his head immediately! She, she, she didn’t have time to get into the Tai Chi posture!

Unfortunately, fate never favored her. At this moment, the young swordsman on the edge of the cliff suddenly turned around.

Ning Ning turned her body to the side, staring at the direction where the evil wolf was attacking from behind her, with both hands pushing forward, as stiff as a sculpture.

This time, she really had no way to defend herself. She

was caught on the spot for plotting to murder her fellow disciple. This was a brutal car accident.

Ning Ning was disheartened and did not dare to look Meng Zhu in the eye.

She just wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately, or bury her head deep in the ground like an ostrich. In her panic, she overlooked another very important factor.

As she turned her head to look at the demon wolf behind her, Ning Ning's body tilted, and the direction of her arm naturally deviated to the side.

Therefore, when Meng Zhu turned his head, her action was not to push him off the cliff, but to look at the demon wolf with horror and push him to the open space in front of the right.

Meng Zhu frowned slightly, and a hint of mocking smile appeared in his eyes.

This girl, does she think that he can't beat a mere demon wolf?

However -

thinking of this, he put aside the idea of ​​mockery and glanced at Ning Ning's hands that were stretched out to him without hesitation. If she

pushed him away like this, she would be the only one who would get hurt.

Although the cheap junior sister is silly, she still has a conscience.

Ning Ning was embarrassed in place, and had no idea what Meng Ju was thinking. Before she could react, she suddenly saw a flash of white light.

Meng Ju drew his sword from its sheath, and his black hair and white clothes were timid, and he stood in front of her without saying a word.

His swordsmanship was as swift as thunder and as cold as ice. When the sword came out, it raised a cloud of ice chips. Before the demon wolf could scream, its voice was broken in its throat.

The blood splashed out with the smell of rust, and it seemed that a few drops fell on her face, burning and sticky.

"What are you doing, little sister?"

The strongest among the younger generation of Xuanxu Sword Sect had a bloodstained long sword, but his face was full of smiles: "It's just a demon wolf, I can still deal with it."

Meng Ju paused and said, "But you, your spiritual power is not enough, don't try to be brave."

What "try to be brave"? Where did she try to be brave?

What nonsense is he talking about.

Ning Ning's brain got stuck again, filled with question marks. When she reluctantly started to think, she vaguely figured out what the other party meant.

Meng Zhu... mistakenly thought that she pushed him away on purpose to protect him?

No way.

What kind of plot of self-sacrifice to save others is this? Isn't she going the route of a vicious female supporting role? Senior Brother, don't fill in some weird places with your brain!

The plot plummeted three thousand feet and directly collapsed into the unbridled Chang'e 1, flying into outer space.

Ning Ning was stunned, and suddenly heard Bai Ye's voice not far away: "Senior Brother Meng, Junior Sister Ning Ning, we found Pei--Wow! How can this wolf be so big!"

Turning her head, she actually saw the other two people who acted separately, and Pei Ji who was found by the two of them.

Several pairs of eyes exchanged glances, and Ning Ning's breathing stagnated.

They couldn't... have seen her push Meng Ju?

Pei Ji seemed to be injured, with a layer of bright red blood on his white neck, and his black clothes were also soaked, lying limply on his body.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but his eyes were a little different from usual, as if he had something unhappy hidden in his heart, and he suppressed his anger with a cold expression.

Meng Ju also saw him, and after a quick glance at Ning Ning, a barely perceptible smile appeared from the corner of his mouth.

Then he took a step towards her calmly.

The young man's burning body temperature hit Ning Ning's face, and her heart was alarmed.

Wait, wait.

Why is the senior brother suddenly getting so close to her?

Ning Ning has never been used to or liked close contact with the opposite sex, so when she saw Meng Ju approaching, she subconsciously took a step back.

However, the other party did not leave her a chance to avoid it.

Meng Ju looked comfortable and relaxed, with a dark cloud-like color in his eyes and a smile of unknown meaning.

There was little warmth and friendliness in that smile, but instead it was a bit of mischievous teasing, as if a predator quietly waiting for its prey in the dark finally showed some sharp claws at this moment.

Danger.

Ning Ning felt something was wrong at the first moment. This black-hearted man certainly had no good intentions.

Seeing her alert face and the curve of her mouth becoming more obvious, Meng Zhu raised his right hand and brushed it across her cheek.

"Ning Ning, you don't have to sacrifice yourself to save me."

He said it casually, but because of his clear voice and gentle tone, others only felt that he was deeply affectionate.

The young man's slender fingers were slightly bent, and his fingertips did not have as many scars as Pei Ji's. When he brushed across the blood on Ning Ning's face, he secretly exerted force to wipe off the red marks that exuded a fishy smell.

Ning Ning heard his voice: "Brother will protect you for the rest of your life."

Ning Ning: ...

This action was too sudden, Ning Ning was completely broken.

Wiping off the blood for others with one's own hands is clearly an action that can make people blush and their hearts beat fast, but when Meng Du did it, it only made her feel endless confusion and panic.

The relationship between her and the eldest senior brother, no matter what, has not yet developed to such a close level, right? And a person with Meng Du's personality, would really say such a corny thing as "I will protect you for the rest of your life"?

He, he, he was taken away?

In Ningning's opinion, even if she really died today to save him, Senior Brother Meng would only smile faintly at her body, and maybe secretly curse her in his heart as "an idiot who overestimates his own abilities."

- Why did he suddenly say such a thing?

Before she could react, she saw Meng Du step back, quietly turned his body, and moved away from her sight.

With his move, Ning Ning only needed to raise her eyes to meet the eyes of Yonggui Bai Ye who was not far away.

And Pei Ji.

The young man in black looked at her quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he was in a daze. When Ning Ning raised her eyes, when their eyes met, Pei Ji reflexively clenched the long sword in his hand.

He did not immediately look away with a calm look as usual, but continued to look at her without saying a word, his thin lips as pale as paper were tightly pursed, and his eyes were as deep as a pool.

Ning Ning thought, she must have seen it wrong.

Otherwise, why would Pei Ji's eyes inexplicably show emotions similar to grievance and helplessness.

... Grievance?

Unfortunately, this eye contact did not last too long. Ning Ning was about to concentrate and take a closer look when she saw the young man holding the sword lower his long eyelashes.

With an almost wolf-like posture, he deliberately avoided her gaze.

"There is blood on me."

Pei Ji stood there for a long time, and when he moved again, his eyes inevitably turned white, and his body swayed slightly uncontrollably. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly steadied his steps, so as not to fall to the ground.

If Ning Ning had not been distracted by that look, she would have almost rushed forward to support him immediately.

Pei Ji's voice was hoarse, and he did not look back when he left: "...Go to the river over there to wash."

Ning Ning noticed that he was unhappy.

There was even a hint of impatience in his words.

She seemed to understand a little bit of Meng Ju's intention.

Could it be, could it be, maybe -

Senior Brother was deliberately tricking her, or... tricking them both?

No matter how stupid Bai Ye was, he had already noticed that the atmosphere between Ning Ning and Pei Ji was not right, and he coughed lightly when he saw this.

"Oh! Why did he leave alone! He was obviously injured in the monster tide, it was so dangerous!"

He paused, deliberately observing Ning Ning's expression, raised his voice, and pretended to be panicked and shouted: "Originally, I asked him to clean the wound a long time ago, but I don't know what Junior Brother Pei was thinking. Seeing that you two have not returned for a long time, he insisted that this place is dangerous and he must meet up with you two first."

Yonggui listened to him and slapped his forehead cooperatively: "If... If we are attacked by a ferocious beast, how can we retain our strength? We might as well go and find him!"

Bai Ye was assisted by God and quickly took over the conversation: "He doesn't know how to take care of himself. He was seriously injured and separated from us. If he wants to say something like "because of that", "he has no choice but to do it... Bah! Shut up!"

The two of them sang in unison, and they were all improvising, standing on the big stage of the cultivation world with their freestyle that attracted the attention of thousands of people.

Ning Ning glanced at them with a strange look, thanked them hurriedly, and chased after Pei Ji and left.

"Junior Sister Ningning no longer looks at me with the admiration she used to have."

Bai Ye looked up at the sky with a melancholy look: "Will she think that I'm as abnormal as Junior Master Yonggui?"

Yonggui was calm and put his hands together in a pious gesture: "This is an art, you have become my believer."

"But this method of provoking others to take advantage of the situation is really exciting."

In order to avoid being assimilated by him, Bai Ye quickly changed the subject to Meng Di, one of the few normal people: "You are worthy of being Senior Brother Meng Di, you are really great!"

Meng Di just smiled and said nothing, his expression was extremely leisurely, the demeanor of a hermit master, who helps one person every ten steps and never leaves a name in a thousand miles.

"Speaking of which, I think I am handsome. My family has been cultivating immortals for generations. I have always been among the best in the academy since I was a child. My cultivation is not bad. There is no flaw in me."

Bai Ye touched his chin and fell into deep thought: "Why has no fairy shown interest in me until now? Is it because I am too outstanding that they are ashamed of themselves?"

Yonggui raised his eyelashes and looked at him with a look that was difficult to explain.

After thinking for a moment, the little monk picked up a dry leaf from the ground and blew on it gently, causing it to float down leisurely.

The dry leaf fell slowly, like a small boat swaying in the wind.

Bai Ye looked at it quietly, and suddenly realized: "Little Master, I understand! Are you trying to tell me that nothing can be forced, and we should let nature take its course like this leaf, and when the time is destined, we will definitely find our destination?"

Yonggui shook his head, put his hands together and bowed slightly to him, picked up another leaf, and repeated the previous action.

Meng Ju, who was standing aside, smiled like a spring breeze, raised his eyebrows, and imitated the little monk's tone and said: "Master Bai, Master Yonggui means, 'You blow, keep blowing, blow as much as you want'."

Bai Ye: ...

Bai Ye was so angry that he screamed like a pig: "Yonggui, shut up! Don't make excuses that you didn't speak just now! Don't move! Don't! Move!!"
