Zheng Nansheng offered his room, and Chu Yiming couldn't refuse, so he had to accept.
In truth, Ji Kongmeng's suffering was all thanks to Yueyun Manor.
Giving him a room to rest is not a big deal.
I wonder what Zheng Nansheng would think if he knew that this room was given to someone who had been expelled from his sect.
Su Hanjiang rested inside the carriage, while Chu Yiming took care of Ji Kongmeng.
Ye Wan is a very idle person.
So she had no choice but to sleep outdoors.
Ye Wan climbed onto the roof, lay down, and looked at the stars in the sky with her eyes open.
Near the Immortal Venerable's Mansion, even at night, the streets are brightly lit, and the stars in the sky are not clearly visible.
It's not as beautiful as the Valley of the Crows Crying at Moonset.
The roof tiles weren't too hard, but they weren't exactly comfortable either. Ye Wan turned to her side, ready to go to sleep.
Turning to the side, she noticed Zheng Nansheng sitting not far away.
He gave up his room, so I had to sleep on the roof.
Basically, they were sharing a bed.
That won't do.
In the original novel, Zheng Nansheng deliberately approached Ye Wan, and in the end, he even stabbed Ye Wan in the heart.
After Zheng Nansheng began cultivating, with the help of the female lead Li Bing'er, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he quickly trampled those fellow cultivators who had bullied him in the past underfoot.
The manor lord, Li Yueyun, even made an exception and accepted him, a person with a different surname, as his chief disciple.
Li Yueyun recognized Zheng Nansheng's talent and believed that this young man would surely amount to something extraordinary in the future.
So, before he set off, he was told about a secret method that could increase his cultivation speed by a hundred or a thousand times.
This secret method comes from the inner core of the crow in the Valley of the Crow's Cry.
Zheng Nansheng hesitated at first, feeling that stealing other people's treasures was not something a celestial cultivator would do.
Doing so goes against the principles of morality.
Li Yueyun naturally knew what he was worried about, so he told Zheng Nansheng the truth about the inner core of the Crow Cry Bird.
A hundred years ago, the Crow Cry was the mount of a female immortal cultivator.
The female cultivator was deceived and killed by the demonic cultivator. The crow originally intended to detonate its inner core and perish together with the demonic cultivator.
Unexpectedly, the demonic cultivator was more skilled, preventing the Crow Cry Bird from self-destructing and forcing it to have its inner core extracted.
That crow-crying bird had reached the sixth stage of demon cultivation, the transformation stage, which is equivalent to the nascent soul stage of immortal cultivation. Its inner core contained almost 90% of its cultivation.
Using this inner elixir for cultivation can make the process twice as effective with half the effort. If one has the opportunity to obtain this elixir, it can even increase the speed of cultivation by a hundred or a thousand times.
Now, the inner core has been in the hands of demonic cultivators for over a century; it's time to return it.
It's wrong to steal someone else's treasures, but it's perfectly reasonable to take back what you already have.
Moreover, this treasure will only recognize one master at a time. As long as Su Hanjiang dies, the inner core of the Crow Cry Bird can return and be used by immortal cultivators.
Killing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is extremely difficult.
Li Yueyun did not intend to let the young Zheng Nansheng do such a big thing.
He instructed Zheng Nansheng to find a way to approach the people in Moonfall Crow Cry Valley, gain Su Hanjiang's trust, and then use the method he taught to introduce the inner core of the Crow Cry Bird into a specially made container to bring the inner core back.
He will naturally have a way to change the ownership of the inner core when the time comes.
Moreover, Li Yueyun promised Zheng Nansheng that if the matter was accomplished, he would grant him and Li Bing'er their happiness, and he would become the next owner of Yueyun Manor.
Zheng Nansheng expressed his willingness to serve the master, but only to fulfill his duty as a disciple, and dared not have any other improper thoughts.
Li Yueyun was very satisfied with Zheng Nansheng's humble attitude, which strengthened her resolve to marry her daughter to Zheng Nansheng.
Zheng Nansheng was a smart man. He knew that if he wanted to accomplish this, he had to plan carefully and not act rashly.
Su Hanjiang is powerful and his cunning is unfathomable, making him difficult to approach.
The daytime interaction with Chu Yiming was also a test of him.
Chu Yiming's strength is close to his own, and he has the Chongguang Sword by his side, so he doesn't seem like a fool. On the other hand, this Ye Wan doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives, so maybe she can be used.
Zheng Nansheng kept a close eye on Ye Wan's every move, never expecting that Moonfall Crow Cry Valley would allow a girl to sleep outdoors.
Ye Wan was only fourteen or fifteen years old, still a delicate young girl.
If any immortal cultivator were to allow a female cultivator to sleep outdoors while a grown man stayed indoors, they would likely be ridiculed by other immortals for quite some time.
Demonic cultivation practices are indeed arrogant and rude.
Zheng Nansheng: Chu Yiming appears gentle and polite, but behind the scenes he is actually a selfish and self-serving person.
Seeing Ye Wan sleeping on the rooftop, he had an idea and flew up there as well.
Zheng Nansheng did not deliberately approach Ye Wan, but sat at a distance, trying not to disturb her.
Deliberately getting close will only increase resentment; keeping a distance is the smart thing to do.
Ye Wan rolled over and spotted Zheng Nansheng, then scrambled to her feet.
She ignored Zheng Nansheng and jumped down to find Su Hanjiang's carriage.
Ye Wan was small in stature, so she could curl up on the panel in front of the carriage to sleep.
Zheng Nansheng never expected Ye Wan to be so discreet; he had never been rejected by a girl like this before.
Ye Wan actually preferred to sleep on the small panel in front of the carriage rather than stay on the roof with me.
Does Ye Wan think he looks like a lecher?
Ye Wan: You're not like that. You're a lecherous scoundrel who's after women. You're going to kill someone.
Although Ye Wan moved gently, she still startled Su Hanjiang inside the carriage.
He lifted the reed curtain and saw Ye Wan curled up on the board, sleeping soundly, muttering in her sleep.
Su Hanjiang listened carefully; Ye Wan had a lovesick look on her face, and drool was dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"Hehehe, I sleep on the carriage dashboard and my master sleeps inside the carriage. In a way, it's like my master and I are having our wedding night."
Su Hanjiang subconsciously raised his right hand, ready to give Ye Wan a loving slap, when he suddenly realized that someone was watching them.
The person's cultivation level was not high, but he also showed no malice.
The target seems to be his female apprentice.
Someone acting suspiciously is definitely not a good person.
Su Hanjiang silently withdrew his hand, took off his outer robe, and draped it over Ye Wan.
He carefully tidied Ye Wan's stray hairs and immediately sensed a change in the person's emotions in the shadows.
Perhaps feeling the warmth, Ye Wan unconsciously rubbed against Su Hanjiang's outer robe:
"Hmm, Master smells so good."
Su Hanjiang: I can't keep up the act anymore, I still want to slap her.
Zheng Nansheng: I can't stand it anymore, I'd better leave first.
Zheng Nan was afraid that Su Hanjiang would find out, so he didn't dare to get too close and therefore didn't hear what Ye Wan was muttering.
He judged that Ye Wan was quite dependent on Su Hanjiang, and that she could only feel at ease if she stayed by Su Hanjiang's side, even when huddled on a small panel.
Su Hanjiang was not as cold-hearted as rumored; he was gentle and considerate towards Ye Wan.
As Su Hanjiang's personal disciple, Ye Wan must hold a significant place in his heart.
If I can win over Ye Wan, I will definitely have a chance to get close to Su Hanjiang.
Ye Wan's current wariness of him only fueled Zheng Nansheng's competitive spirit.
The more difficult something is, the more worthwhile the effort is.
If everything in this world were readily available, what would be the point?
