Chapter 203: Mother is not a first-class person (two in one)
Xu Yuexiu's eyes widened, and her mind went blank for a moment.
She digested the meaning of Ning Songjun's words, and then couldn't help swallowing her saliva in a very awkward manner.
"Master, are you saying that...in the battle that earned you the title of Sword Saint, the one who actually attacked was actually the princess?"
The princess without any cultivation was the one who achieved the title of Sword Saint?
If this were to be made known to the world, it would definitely be an outrageous thing that would shock the entire Wei Dynasty and the world!
But when Xu Yuexiu thought about it carefully, she felt that it was actually like that...
If you are familiar with Ning Songjun, you will know that this sword master is actually very kind and easy to talk to, and is definitely not a bloodthirsty person.
However, during the civil strife that year, Jiange suffered heavy casualties and was almost unable to recover. But later, Ning Songjun listened to Xue Qi's last words and spared most of the sects that came to assist Cui Weishan.
If it is said that it is due to various trade-offs, the styles of doing things before and after are indeed very different.
If it was someone else who took action at that time, it would have been more reasonable.
But there is a bigger problem here -
Since Ning Caiyong has cultivation, and it was so high back then, why has he become a mortal now?
I actually didn't understand Ning Songjun before.
Before the civil strife in Jiange, the eldest sister was the unparalleled genius in the world, and he was just the honest and obedient little brother who was taken care of by the eldest sister.
After the civil strife, the eldest sister seemed to have forgotten everything, even her own cultivation.
The small wooden sword pendant she always carries with her was obtained during her one-year-old celebration.
The celebration of the first birthday has always been about taking the things given for the first birthday as the ambition of the child.
This is the custom whether among the common people or among the immortal sects, let alone in a sect like Jiange where sword cultivators and swordsmiths are the main body.
How could the gift placed there for the first birthday be just an ordinary small wooden sword?
This sword, named "Liuhong", was a treasured sword obtained by Ning Wuzhen from an ancient relic. Because it was a divine object, its grade could not be identified. However, judging from his experience, it should be at least a divine weapon close to the highest grade.
However, this sword never resonated with anyone, so Ning Wuzhen thought of letting her daughter try it.
It is called "Zhuazhou", but it is actually about recognizing the master.
However, after the civil strife, Ning Caiyong treated the small wooden sword as a simple amulet, and kept it in storage, never taking it out again.
When Ning Songjun later killed Xue Qi, she learned that during the turmoil in Jiange, the sword in Ning Caiyong's hand became stronger after drinking blood, and seemed to have gained intelligence and guided her to Tianmen!
From then on, Ning Caiyong seemed like a different person. Although he was still as gentle and reliable as before, he had lost all his cultivation and no longer had any knowledge of cultivation.
The Ning family father and son were afraid that there might be something secretive in Tianmen, so they asked Ning Caiyong to forget everything. If he remembered it again, it might be disadvantageous to Ning Caiyong. Therefore, they kept their mouths shut and never mentioned anything before the civil strife.
Fortunately, although Ning Caiyong was extremely talented, before that, because of her personality and appearance, she had always been raised in the boudoir, and only a little news about her stunning beauty was circulated in the world.
Therefore, Ning Songjun took responsibility for everything Ning Caiyong did at that time, and there was no loophole.
From then on, Ning Songjun's reputation as the "Little Sword Saint" rose rapidly and he became famous.
Ning Caiyong became the "most beautiful woman in the world" that everyone longed for, and was proposed to by Gu Yuye, and the fact that she had no cultivation became known to everyone.
She maintains her gentle and kind character, and lives an ordinary life of taking care of her husband and children, as if it will be like this for the rest of her life.
However, in recent years, Ning Caiyong has become increasingly paranoid, even crazy, because of Gu Fangchen's affairs.
What others saw was a mother who had become insane because of doting on her son.
What Ning Songjun saw was not Ning Caiyong's change, but... his return.
After the civil strife, Ning Caiyong couldn't bear to see blood, let alone killing people. It seemed that there was no murderous intent in his heart. He was the embodiment of gentleness.
Only when facing Gu Fangchen would she become angry because of Gu Fangchen, and even have that fleeting murderous intent.
When Ning Songjun saw the cold look in Ning Caiyong's eyes for the first time, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
One day, the elder sister he is familiar with will come back again because of Gu Fangchen.
now……
As the conflict between Gu Fangchen and Gu Yuye intensified, the time finally came for them to go to war.
This was something they couldn't stop. From the moment they realized something was wrong, it was irreversible.
The only thing I can do is to trust my elder sister.
At the distant end of the sky, beams of rainbow light descended from the sky like curtains and veils, just like the shawl of the goddess of the nine heavens. This beautiful and dreamy vision could be seen throughout the entire Wei territory.
However, only a few second-grade cultivators could detect the terrifying aura contained in this rainbow light.
That is...first grade!
Ning Songjun's pupils constricted, he stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and whispered:
"I didn't understand it before, but I believe that whether it was sealing her own memories or regaining her cultivation, it was the eldest sister's own choice."
"Her past forgetfulness and present memory both have their own considerations... Since she has chosen Gu Fangchen, we will stand by Gu Fangchen no matter what."
Although in the eyes of the world, the power of the second-grade sword master is incomparable.
But Ning had sent Jun to Tianmen before, and he knew clearly that his strength was just that of an ant in the eyes of a true first-class cultivator.
Xu Yuexiu seemed to understand, but she could hear a lot of disappointment in Ning Songjun's tone. She asked:
"The princess's cultivation has returned. Are she leaving now?"
She thought, if the princess's cultivation returned, Gu Fangchen would of course have the princess to protect her, so why would she need Jiange to stand behind her...
When it comes to favoritism towards Gu Fangchen, who can compare to Ning Caiyong?
Ning Songjun looked at the ethereal and dreamy rainbow light from afar, shook his head, and said:
"The reason Ying Sheng chose to seal the Heavenly Gate back then... must be similar to the reason my elder sister sealed her own memories. Since this is something she doesn't want to do, then she probably won't stay any longer."
In fact, based on what they know now about the information in ancient times, it is absolutely impossible that the first first-grade Eternal Realm did not appear until Xie Qian.
But in today's world, Xie Qian is the only one who is of the first rank.
This is absolutely unreasonable.
Then, there is only one possibility.
Those first-grade ones most likely chose to seal themselves, or... end their lives, just like Ying Baishou.
Since Ning Caiyong finally regained her cultivation, it was impossible for her to continue to stay in the world with the strength of the first rank.
Ning Songjun clenched the sword in his hand, feeling as if he had returned to his childhood again, his heart filled with uneasiness.
He recalled the night when Jiange was stained with blood, a memory that had long been drowned in sorrow. Flames shot up into the sky and spread throughout Jiange. He stumbled and saw his elder sister walking out of a pool of blood.
The eldest sister smiled at him gently and handed him the sword and the head.
"A Song, from now on, Jiange will be handed over to you."
…
Gu Fangchen looked up in surprise.
The rainbow light from the sky descended and enveloped him, like a pair of gentle hands, holding his broken body together and restoring it to its original state.
The sword light that spanned the earth before his eyes was split into two and disappeared into thin air.
A familiar and gentle figure stood in front of him, holding the long sword transformed from rainbow light in her hand, her long hair flying in the wind, and her black and white dress fluttering like a fairy.
"mother?!"
Gu Fangchen widened his eyes, feeling truly shocked and unbelievable for the first time.
——This feeling had appeared countless times when he failed in his strategy. Every time, he would throw the mouse and shout "Shit, what's wrong this time!"
It's back, everything is back!
It feels like if I miss a word, I lose everything!
This familiar feeling is like returning to my hometown.
Even if he had eight hundred clever tricks, he would never have guessed that there was something wrong with Ning Caiyong!
Well, of course, the moment he saw the small wooden sword, many clues popped up in his mind, and he realized that his preconceived impression of Ning Caiyong was too deep, and it added a thick layer of filter, so he had never doubted Ning Caiyong at all.
If he could look at Ning Caiyong from a player's objective perspective, and question every word he said, he would definitely find something wrong.
It was at this moment that Gu Fangchen realized that she had subconsciously trusted Ning Caiyong too deeply.
Whether it is the influence of body and soul, or it comes from himself.
In short, his feelings for Ning Caiyong were not simply feelings for an NPC.
However, although Gu Fangchen was surprised at this moment, the feeling that something was wrong that had always existed in his mind since he crossed over finally dissipated a little...
Ning Caiyong turned around after hearing this, and looked at Gu Fangchen with complicated eyes. He pursed his lips, sighed, and said:
"I'm sorry, Chen'er, I didn't mean to deceive you. It's just now that I suddenly remembered everything."
Gu Fangchen could feel that although her demeanor had changed greatly, she still did not have the slightest malice towards him.
He took a deep breath, shook his head, and said firmly:
"Mom, I know and I believe you."
Gu Fangchen's expression of shock was fleeting, and soon turned into unshakable determination.
"I've already told my mother what I'm thinking, and it won't change now. As long as she's my mother, it doesn't matter what she looks like, whether she's a mortal or a master of heaven, it's all the same to me."
Ning Caiyong was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. He flew forward and hugged Gu Fangchen tightly. From the angle that the latter couldn't see, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were extremely gentle, as if he was about to melt.
In the past, Ning Caiyong's doting on Gu Fangchen was relatively restrained, and only manifested in some things he did for Gu Fangchen.
At this moment, it completely turned into an outward-looking, thick feeling that was suffocating.
It makes people feel that even if she has to kill everyone in the world for Gu Fangchen, she will definitely do it without hesitation...
"mother?"
Gu Fangchen only felt that the hug was extremely strong, as if it wanted to imprint him into the body, but at the same time, it retained some strength so as not to hurt him.
But a feeling of uneasiness welled up in his heart.
The emotion contained in this hug was too deep. It didn't seem like she was moved by what he said, but more like she was saying goodbye to him, as if she would never see him again...
Gu Fangchen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said:
"Mother, although I treat you the same, can you tell me why you suddenly became a first-class person from a mortal?"
Ning Caiyong took a deep breath, let him go, and shook his head.
"Mother is not a first-rank official."
Gu Fangchen was stunned.
Not first rank?
This "Military Immortal" struck out with his sword, and you casually split him in half, and you still say you're not a first-rank warrior?!
Are you entertaining your kids?
Ning Caiyong smiled softly, and was about to speak when he heard Gu Yuye's roar mixed with countless other voices from behind:
"Who are you?!"
Gu Fangchen turned his head and saw a strange face formed from the blood mist on the headless body of Gu Yuye, staring at Ning Caiyong with a serious look:
"I've never seen you before. You're not a cultivator who survived the great age. You and I both know how difficult it is for those who have attained enlightenment today. Why kill each other?"
"How about we each take a step back, sever the karma attached to this body, and then go our separate ways, the road ahead?"
This person is naturally the "Military Genius" Li Kan.
Although he could not accurately sense Ning Caiyong's cultivation level, as soon as the other party made a move, he knew that the other party's cultivation level was higher than his own.
Although Li Kan is not in his complete form now, he is still inferior to others in terms of skills, so he can only avoid the sharp edge for the time being...
As long as he recuperates, according to the memory of this body, he can escape to Qingman. After swallowing hundreds of thousands of people as his own military souls, he can naturally recover to his heyday and become a true "Military Immortal"!
Ning Caiyong ignored the man's barking and turned his head again, holding Gu Fangchen's face and said:
"I can't hold on for long. I can only tell you the best I can."
"I don't know how that old fellow chose you, but you must remember that Daoist Master Heng Chang can be trusted."
Her eyes were full of tenderness, and she pressed her forehead tightly against Gu Fangchen's, but they separated immediately after the touch.
Gu Fangchen was left behind with his pupils constricted and a dull expression.
Then, Ning Caiyong turned around, with a gentle smile on his face, and gently swung the sword in his hand.
“Swish——”
The rainbow light in the sky gathered towards the center, like a beautiful dream flower, and in an instant, it enveloped the "Military Genius" Li Kan.
"Buzz—"
The endless sharp sword intent in the rainbow light turned into the blades of a meat grinder in the blink of an eye, turning it into blood mist and minced meat without even a scream.
Ning Caiyong's gaze remained unchanged. He turned to look at Gu Fangchen and smiled gently.
"Mother is waiting for you in Honglu."
Gu Fangchen had an ominous premonition in his heart and rushed forward immediately, but he caught nothing.
Ning Caiyong's figure has merged into the rainbow light and disappeared.
