In the inn, in the slightly old but ancient hall, he held a brush and wrote freely on the paper without any scruples, stroke by stroke. After writing his name, he gently put down the brush and walked slowly into the house with steady steps.
The guest room was filled with a light and quiet atmosphere, so quiet that one could hear the sound of time flowing. He looked around carefully, not leaving out any corner, with a thoughtful light in his eyes. After making sure there was nothing unusual, he carefully locked the door, as if to isolate himself from the disturbance and danger of the outside world. Then, he slowly took off the bamboo hat that had accompanied him for a long time, revealing his weathered face. The hideous scar, like an ugly flower blooming on his cheek, finally saw the light of day again as the bamboo hat was taken off.
"Oh, this thing is so uncomfortable on my face!"
Xiao Ning couldn't help but complain in a low voice about the scar sticker given to him by the system. He kept muttering to himself, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this "decoration".
However, he knew his current situation and had to endure the discomfort temporarily. Then, he conjured up a delicate little bowl, skillfully cut some fresh animal meat into small pieces, put it into the bowl, poured clear spring water, stirred it evenly, took the bowl to the bedside, and gently handed the bowl to the sleeping Erning's mouth. Watching Erning eating with relish, his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.
After finishing all this, he sat down on the chair tiredly, raised his head slightly, and looked out the window at the world outside. He saw the busy streets with cars and pedestrians, and the lively scene formed a sharp contrast with his inner loneliness.
More than a month ago, Xiao Ning escaped from Piao Miao Xian Sect, and what followed was a sky full of wanted posters, which clearly stated that he had defected from the sect and stolen their secret treasure.
Now, Xiao Ning's name is known to everyone. In order to avoid being caught, he changed his white hair back to black and cut it into short hair, hoping to change his appearance. In the end, he was still worried and put scar stickers on his face, trying to cover up his past traces, so that he could walk freely in this prosperous world.
Xiao Ning sat there motionless until noon. The scorching sun almost burned him, but he kept that posture, as if he was isolated from the world around him. At this moment, he was full of confusion and helplessness, and his mind kept recalling the things that happened in the past.
The town he was in now, called Fenggang, was located in the border of Dagan, but it was not far from Dachu, and its geographical location was quite special. It was not as noisy and bustling as those bustling metropolises, but instead had a peaceful and simple atmosphere.
Although the street is not wide, it is very clean, with shops on both sides arranged in an orderly manner, and occasionally you can hear shouts from the shops and customers talking. The people here live a plain and stable life, and don't seem to pay much attention to the outside world.
After Xiao Ning escaped, he found himself on a moving spaceship. In order to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed and not being noticed by the people on the ship, after a fierce inner struggle, he gritted his teeth and jumped off the spaceship with Er Ning. Unfortunately, it was an endless night as dark as ink, and he could not see his hand in front of his face, which made him completely lost the moment he jumped off the spaceship.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ning finally fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang. When he stood up in a panic and looked around, it was already dawn. He didn't care about anything else, and stood up and started to run.
But in the process of escaping, Xiao Ning found himself in a vast and completely unfamiliar land. The scenery here was completely different from the familiar continent in his memory, as if it was another world.
In the following days, Xiao Ning had to survive in this strange continent. Although he couldn't understand some of the people's language, he could still understand a little bit. Xiao Ning explored everywhere, trying to find a way to leave this place and return to his hometown. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed. Finally, his hard work paid off and he successfully found a way back home.
The moment he set foot on the familiar land, he was so excited that he could not express it in words. At this moment, his most urgent wish was to rush back to Yongning City and reunite with his long-lost parents as soon as possible. But when he was full of joy and thought that as long as he could hide back home, he could temporarily avoid this sudden huge storm. However, things did not go as he wished. Just as he was getting closer and closer to Yongning City, wanted posters with his portrait printed on them came like a storm. Looking at those shocking wanted posters, Xiao Ning felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar, and he felt cold from head to toe in an instant.
At this moment, he deeply understood that he was in a desperate situation. If he rashly fled back home, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap and like a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
As for Shenxiao Sect and Yaochi, those were places he dared not touch. Since Rong Rouxue had made such a resolute decision, she would definitely spare no effort to track it down. Xiao Ning knew that everyone around him and the places he might go to had been arranged by her. As long as he made the slightest move, he would be immediately exposed to her sight. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.
"You Rong Rouxue, why do you treat me like this?"
Xiao Ning muttered to himself, his eyes full of pain and confusion. He did not leave Piao Miao Xian Zong because Rong Rouxue imprisoned him. On the contrary, he still had a special feeling for her. But now, this feeling was shattered by reality, and he didn't know how to face it all.
