Chapter 288 290 Space Ring
Ning Qingyun chose the wooden box without hesitation. When he opened it, he saw a very beautiful hairpin inside. The hairpin was emerald green and transparent. The stem was conical and carved with a very beautiful big bird, which looked lifelike. At the head of the hairpin was a colorful and delicate flower, and several tassels made of tiny crystal gems were faintly visible under the flower.
"Xianxian will definitely like such a beautiful hairpin." Ning Qingyun took the hairpin in his hand, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just as he got the hairpin, there was a "boom", the stone table sank, and an exit appeared on the west side of the secret room.
Ning Qingyun put away the hairpin and quickly left the secret room.
Not far from the territory of the dead wood bird where Ning Qingyun was, Yunshan, Zeng Jing and others were hunting. They had already set traps and were just waiting for the prey to take the bait.
This is their food for the day. If they can't catch any prey, they can only go back to eating dry biscuits.
Several people hid in the bushes and waited patiently. Suddenly, Yunshan's expression changed and his face turned pale.
"Brother Yun, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look so ugly!" Zeng Jing asked in a puzzled voice.
A fluffy little thing came out from Yunshan's collar. It was a hamster-like creature, no more than twenty centimeters long, with a very flexible long-haired tail, and pure white fur on its body, long, thin and dense. It had a pair of clear, crystal-like eyes like glass. It turned its wet eyes and looked soft and cute.
"It's okay. You guys can continue hunting here as planned. I have something to take care of and can't go with you." Yunshan gave a few simple instructions and left in a hurry.
Zeng Jing and the others were left looking at each other.
"Looking at the direction Brother Yun is walking, it seems to be the way to the nine-headed monster snake!" someone said thoughtfully.
"Yes, it is that place!" another person nodded in agreement.
"Needless to say, it must be that the Seventh Young Master has gone to the territory of the nine-headed monster snake again. What do you think? The Seventh Young Master Ning goes to that place again and again. Is there something good hidden there?" The man guessed before.
"Why don't you follow and take a look?" Zeng Jing said with his eyes squinted.
"No, no, I won't go." The man shook his head quickly. "That snake has nine heads and looks so scary. I saw it from a distance and I don't want to get close to that place in my life. No matter how good a thing is, it is not as important as your own life." The man sighed.
"Brother Zeng, you said that it was Yunshan who saved Young Master Ning Qi's life in the territory of the nine-headed monster snake last time. Why didn't he let Young Master Ning Qi know?" the man asked curiously.
"How should I know this? I only know that Yunshan came in to protect the Seventh Young Master, but the Seventh Young Master didn't like him at all. I don't know why?" Zeng Jing also looked confused.
"What is most incomprehensible is that Miss Gong Hanyu comes from a noble family, holds great power, and is as beautiful as a goddess. What's more, she is infatuated with Young Master Ning Qi, but Young Master Ning Qi just refuses to accept her! Tell me, what is he thinking?" Zeng Jing said in a complaining manner.
"Oh, the good things that we dare not even think about are thrown away by others. It really makes people feel unbalanced!" someone else sighed.
"Brother Zeng, based on my observation, the storage space that Yunshan carries on his body should be the ring on his hand. You said that Young Master Ning Qi doesn't have it, so why does he have it on his hand?" one of them asked.
"It was given by Miss Gong Hanyu. Everyone has seen the attitude of the Ning family towards the Seventh Young Master. They obviously want the Seventh Young Master to enter the secret realm to die, so it is impossible for them to prepare a space ring for him. Miss Gong Hanyu even gave the family token to Yunshan, so what is a space ring?" Zeng Jing said with a sneer.
"We entered the secret realm to fight for the Gong family. None of us have managed to get a space ring, and Yunshan is an outsider..." said the man before sourly.
"Stop, stop. What outsider? Who is Mr. Ning Qi? He is the one the young lady has taken a fancy to. Although he has not been settled yet, with Miss Gong's methods, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time. We will be a family in the future, so how can there be outsiders? Be careful with your words, don't let others hear you and think that you have ulterior motives towards the Gong family! The space ring was lent to Yunshan by the young lady, and you have to return it when you go out. It's not that Yunshan didn't give you the supplies in his hands, so why are you still complaining here?" Zeng Jing said half reprimanding and half warning.
"Taking things from other people's hands is not as good as having things in your own hands. That feeling... comes naturally! When you take things from others, you have to look at their faces! How can it be the same?" another person said unconvinced.
"Oh, from what you said, it seems you really have something against Miss Gong." Zeng Jing said with some surprise.
"We have worked together for so many years, we brothers know each other well. Yunshan is not here today, so we can have a good chat. Before we came in, our strength ranked in the middle of the team. If we go out now, where do you think we will rank?" The man said excitedly.
The spiritual energy in the Yunwu Secret Realm is rich, and cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort. Several people have already advanced from the early stage of the Chongmai Realm to the peak of the Chongmai Realm. Before entering the secret realm, the top expert in their team was just a strong man at the peak of the Chongmai Realm.
The spiritual energy in the outside world is thin, and many masters are stuck at the peak of the Chongmai realm and unable to break through. They were originally at the level of just starting out in the team, but now, they are about to break through to the Qiqiao realm.
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of several people, the man continued, "When we leave here, we will be considered top masters in the entire capital. In peacetime, we have been serving the Gong family, being driven by others, and always felt inferior. Now the world has changed. This is an era that emphasizes personal strength. Are you still willing to live the same life as before?"
"So? Do you want to leave the Gong family?" Zeng Jing looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression. He knew that this man dared to say this in front of him, he must have his confidence. Do the other people have the same idea?
"Brother Zeng, isn't your sister still in Xitang? Don't you want to go find her? In this kind of world, a young girl can easily be bullied." The man said slowly.
"You not only want to leave the Gong family, you want to leave the capital?" Zeng Jing said with a look of sudden enlightenment, but in fact he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
