Chapter 561 Chapter 563 Seeking Death
"My wife, stop joking. There are all kinds of experts in the army. Why do you want her to take the mission?" Ning Qingyun waved his hand. It was so dangerous outside, he didn't want Xianxian to go out and take risks.
"Qingyun, you must know that Rong Xianxian is now recognized as the most powerful person in the capital!" Yan Zishu said in surprise, looking at Ning Qingyun's expression.
"The highest combat power? Who said that?" Ning Qingyun asked with a frown.
"Rong Xianxian killed a level five monster with one sword during the siege. Everyone in the capital knows about it!" Ning Qingyun was busy dealing with various things as soon as he woke up. He didn't have time to listen to other people's gossip.
"A level five monster?" There was obvious doubt in Ning Qingyun's eyes. The combat power of a level four monster was equivalent to the peak of the human Blood Refining Realm. Xianxian had just been promoted to the Blood Refining Realm, how could he kill a level five monster?
"It's absolutely true. This achievement is recorded in the military's merit book." Yan Zishu said.
Ning Qingyun’s eyes widened instantly. Yan Zishu’s expression didn’t seem like he was joking. Could it be that Xianxian was really that powerful?
Ning Qingyun fainted after being struck by the thunder. He did not see Rong Xianxian's burst of fighting power afterwards, and his assessment of Rong Xianxian's fighting power still remained in his previous impression.
On the one hand, he wanted to see Yan Zishu for the last time and ask for some information. On the other hand, he also wanted to ask his old friend to help take care of them mother and son when he could.
But now after hearing what Yan Zishu said, he seemed to not need to speak any more.
"Zishu, I dare not let Xianxian take the mission. You know, the last time I fought with the Gong family, I offended a lot of people. Those people are well-connected. If they interfere and harm Xianxian, we will be unable to defend ourselves!" Yan Zishu is in charge of the information department of the Ministry of Science and Technology and is well-informed. The main purpose of Ning Qingyun's meeting him today is to find out the attitude of the higher-ups towards their battle with the Gong family.
"Someone did clamor to teach your Tianhe Mercenary Group a lesson before, but yesterday, President Jingyuan held a special meeting to strictly prohibit internal fighting. Violators will be punished by military law."
The commander of the Second Legion, Cheng Ying, used the video footage of the Blackwater Town safety zone in the Tianlie Disk that was burned by Ning Qingyun as a threat, and forced President Jingyuan to agree to let him fight Rong Xianxian in private. The reason why President Jingyuan changed his mind now was that Blackwater Town was attacked by a level 4 monster and is now in ruins. Only a few survivors were rescued by the army.
The Blackwater Town safe zone no longer exists, so Ning Qingyun's massacre in the Tianlie Plate will naturally not happen, and President Jingyuan will not have to be threatened because of this matter.
Therefore, at yesterday's meeting, President Jingyuan specifically pointed out that Cheng Ying and others are not allowed to use public resources for personal gain or to take revenge.
Ning Qingyun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Yan Zishu said. As long as the army did not intervene, the civilian mercenary groups controlled by the big families would not be a threat.
"Qingyun, now is a good time to earn gold coins and credit points. With Rong Xianxian's strength, she can upgrade the Flame Mercenary Group to a six-star mercenary group in a few days. Now the military has issued new regulations. The six-star mercenary group can not only have a base and enjoy many preferential policies, but also receive a monthly allowance. The leader of the six-star mercenary group will be awarded the rank of major. Although it is only an honorary title, if the leader is willing to join the army, this honorary rank will immediately become a real military position. Besides, making achievements at this time will also be beneficial to her future development." The greater the merits and the better the reputation, the more difficult it will be for Cheng Ying and his gang to touch her.
"It's indeed a good time. I'll persuade her later." Ning Qingyun echoed. In fact, he had lost the ability to think now. The thunder and lightning in his sea of consciousness was getting louder and louder, and his soul was in more and more severe pain. Ning Qingyun looked at the time. There were only a few minutes left before the time agreed upon by Xianxian and him, so he said goodbye to Yan Zishu and left.
As Ning Qingyun left the room, a jade hand rested on his shoulder and he disappeared instantly. The shopkeeper who was watching outside the door didn't even notice.
When Rong Xianxian brought Ning Qingyun back to their residence, Pan Yang was still guarding outside the door. Ning Qingyun asked him to notify Huo Ye, Chai Ming, Ming Yin, Ming Yan, He Wen and others to come over.
Before Ning Qingyun went to see Yan Zishu, his soul had been severely damaged, and he barely managed to survive with the protection of Rong Xianxian. This time, the golden light came back, and with just one blow, it split Ning Qingyun's soul, which had just been fused together, into several halves. The soul was like a flickering candle flame, blown all over the place by the strong wind, and seemed like it would go out at any time.
"Qingyun, don't you want to see Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo grow up and start a family?"
"You are in the foggy space, in the Sky-Splitting Disk. I can come to see you at any time. I will protect you well and will not let anyone hurt you. Do you believe me?" Rong Xianxian looked at him pleadingly.
"I believe you." But I don't want to implicate you.
Rong Xianxian seemed to see through Ning Qingyun's hidden thoughts, so she asked him, "How did you feel when you knew we were dead in your previous life?"
"I didn't want to live at that time either." Ning Qingyun answered as if he was out of control. He was a little confused. These were clearly his true feelings, so how could he say them out loud?
"I feel the same as you. If you die, our child will become an orphan. Do you want that?" Rong Xianxian held his face and made him look into her eyes.
Ning Qingyun saw determination and firmness in Rong Xianxian's eyes, and his heart trembled involuntarily. Rong Xianxian always did what she said. He originally thought that even if he died, Xianxian had two children to take care of, and she would never be as desperate as he was.
“Xianxian, my injury is incurable. Even if I hide in the Sky-Splitting Plate and survive, when I leave the Sky-Splitting Plate again, my soul can only hold on for one day at most, and my body…” No one dares to say how long his body can hold on. Maybe it will be ten or eight years, maybe thirty or fifty years, but no matter how long it is, his body will slowly age.
"I will definitely refine the Heaven-Repairing and Rejuvenating Pill to replenish your innate essence." Rong Xianxian comforted him.
"I don't want to live in humiliation, but I'm afraid of being a burden to you. You can let me hide in the Tianliepan, but you have to promise me that you won't take risks just to find medicine for me." Ning Qingyun felt extremely helpless.
If Rong Xianxian hadn't used the secret technique of soul transfer and seen the situation in his sea of consciousness, Ning Qingyun would not have been able to hide it from her at this moment.
If there was no Sky-Splitting Disk to hide from, his death would be destiny, and even if Xianxian was sad, there was nothing she could do. But because Xianxian knew about the existence of the Sky-Splitting Disk, if he was determined to die, it would obviously be because he didn't want to drag Xianxian down. How could she accept this?
