This day.
When City Lord Bai was at a loss and in a panic, Nie Jing arrived. When he arrived, City Lord Bai was walking back and forth in the yard, with a worried look on his face.
Nie Jing was a straightforward person. When he saw City Lord Bai just walking around the yard, he immediately showed up and scolded him: "It's already late, and you still have the mood to stroll around here!"
Lord Bai was stunned.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Nie Jing appear in his yard at some point.
At that moment, describing it as a volcanic eruption or the collapse of the earth was enough to express Lord Bai's emotions.
"Nie Jing?!"
"When did you come to my house?"
"I..." Nie Jing tried to interject, but City Lord Bai did not give him the chance.
He walked towards him step by step, looking at Nie Jing with eyes that seemed to want to eat him up: "Who allowed you to be here? Get out of here right now!"
“Get out!”
"Don't dirty the land of my City Lord's Mansion!"
"Bai Xiaotian, how can you talk like that?" Nie Jing was very unhappy about being scolded. Although this was his brother-in-law, he was not polite to him. "Don't forget that I am still your brother-in-law. If you treat your brother-in-law like this, you don't want to be with my sister anymore, right?"
"How dare you mention your sister?!" City Lord Bai became even more furious. He looked at him with eyes that looked as if he wanted to chop him into pieces. "Get out of here right now! Don't make me chase you away with a broom!"
Nie Jing was angry.
Listen, what is he saying? Does he act like a city lord?
"I'm not here to argue with you today." Nie Jing took a deep breath. For the sake of his niece, he decided to hold back. "If we have to argue, we have to wait until Ningning's problem is resolved."
City Lord Bai paused. "What did you say? Ningning?"
"What? You can't even recognize my own niece?" Nie Jing rolled his eyes and walked straight to the bench in the yard to sit down. However, his words contained a deliberately irritating tone.
Bai Xiaotian's whole body was trembling.
He walked over and sat across from him, pointing his finger at him, his eyes wide with anger: "You swore that you would not look for Ningning to recognize her. If you break your oath, you will be struck by lightning!"
This guy!
She actually secretly recognized Ningning behind his back.
He wondered why Ningning came back from Senluo Palace so quickly, and thought she found it difficult to get in, and it took her a long time because of this person.
"I swore I wouldn't take the initiative to meet her and recognize her." Nie Jing was still angry, and his hand slipped and he was very casual. "But she took the initiative to find me and revealed her identity to me. Why can't I tell her that I'm her uncle?"
Bai Chengzhu is angry!
He took a deep breath, looked at him with eyes blazing with fire, and kept accusing him: "You are quibbling!"
"What do you mean by quibbling? If I really broke my oath, how could I still be standing here?" Nie Jing was too lazy to waste time talking. He walked over and sat down, then got down to business. "Let's not waste time on this meaningless nonsense. I came here to ask you what happened after Ningning came back and where she went."
"It has nothing to do with you." City Lord Bai didn't want to pay any attention to him.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? She is my niece. Now that she is in trouble, can I, as her uncle, just sit back and do nothing?" Nie Jing was a little angry and felt that this person was very stubborn.
City Lord Bai frowned, realizing something: "How do you know she's in trouble?"
"She left my place to do something, so of course I knew something would happen to her." Nie Jing said it without thinking, but after he said it, he realized it was too late.
As expected.
City Lord Bai became even angrier, looking at him with a sullen look in his eyes: "What did you ask her to do?"
"I didn't ask her to do it..." Nie Jing tried to explain.
"You just said you wanted her to do something. Is it any use trying to argue now?" City Lord Bai's heart was in a state of panic. The thought of Bai Suning really getting into trouble made him panic. "That's your niece. How could you bear to let her do something dangerous?"
Nie Jing, who was originally in a bad mood, his eyes flashed slightly after hearing this, and his mood immediately improved a lot.
Niece.
You admitted this yourself.
"Tell me quickly, what did you ask her to do?" City Lord Bai asked anxiously.
"I gave him fake dragon balls." Nie Jing confessed honestly, and since he admitted it, he didn't argue with him anymore.
Lord Bai: “????”
When City Lord Bai heard this, he felt that this was a dangerous matter. He was so angry that he didn't care about anything else. "You have so many people from Senluo Palace, why did you let her go? How could you use your own relatives like this?"
"What do you mean by 'using'?" Nie Jing retorted, completely ignoring his rage. He snorted and said, "Someone asked her to come to Senluo Palace to steal the Dragon Ball. If she didn't steal it, she would have killed you all."
"Why do you think she suddenly left Yuxiao City and ran so far away?"
"Is she really just full and has nothing to do?"
"Who asked her to steal the dragon ball?" City Lord Bai was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
As a father, he had no idea that his precious daughter had such a heavy burden on her.
Nie Jing felt that his brother-in-law's brain was not very flexible. He sighed and said solemnly, "If I knew who asked her to steal the Dragon Ball, would I have given her a fake Dragon Ball to test her?"
"What's the result of the test?" City Lord Bai watched eagerly.
"In the end..." Nie Jing said this with a guilty look, his eyes wandering, "The fake Dragon Ball was destroyed, and we can't find the person who did it."
Lord Bai stood up in an instant.
He looked at the person sitting opposite him with an ugly expression: "What do you mean by not being able to find someone? You..."
"Could you please stop making such a fuss whenever something happens?" Nie Jing looked up at him, his brows serious, his words revealing an undisguised disdain. "Didn't I risk being scolded by you to come and ask you questions the moment something happened?"
Lord Bai: "!!!!"
Should he still thank him?
Nie Jing knew he was in a bad mood. If he were him, he would also hate him. But there was nothing he could do now. If he wanted to know what happened, he had to come here and ask: "The information we have now is that the person's cultivation is very high, beyond our cultivation level on this continent, even beyond the peak that this continent can withstand."
"Beyond the peak that this continent can withstand?" City Lord Bai murmured. Then, as if he had discovered something serious, he frowned and looked at him and asked, "Does that mean his cultivation level, even there... is higher than ours?"
Nie Jing nodded.
That's exactly why he was so worried.
The level of cultivation that Dongwu Continent can support is not particularly high, but since this person can exist with a cultivation level that is much higher than here, it proves that his true level of cultivation is even higher than what he shows now.
