Chapter 40 What is Nangong Jinghong’s secret?
The fifth prince of Tianfeng Kingdom?
Ling Hegui had heard something about it. He heard that Tianfeng had sent a prince as a hostage.
It turned out to be the person in front of me.
The one who is in power in Tianfeng now is the eldest prince.
His cultivation is low and his character is not very good.
In his opinion, he was not as good as the young man in front of him.
The strange thing is.
The Sword of Delusion Breaking was clearly agitated by him just now, but now it could not detect any demonic aura.
I heard that the people on Tianfeng's side are good at taming beasts and forming pacts with demon beasts and spirit beasts.
Could it be because of this reason?
Ling Hegui guessed in his heart.
"Senior Brother Ling?"
Ning Shengsheng waved her hand, and Ling Hegui came back to his senses.
"Fifth Prince, my name is Ling Hegui. Have you encountered anything unusual recently?"
"No, I'm basically with Princess Ning'an."
Xue Chen raised his eyes, his expression frank and innocent.
certainly.
He was pretending.
"Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Ling Hegui was about to go to Qinfang Garden with Ning Shengsheng.
Xue Chen followed.
Ning Shengsheng turned her head, "Hmm?"
Xue Chen said seriously: "I have nothing to do, so I want to broaden my horizons with you guys."
"Okay, let's go together."
A two-person group becomes a three-person group.
We soon arrived at Qinfang Garden.
The person who opened the door happened to be Nangong Jinghong.
Nangong Jinghong was stunned when he saw who the person was.
Ling Hegui paused briefly and asked in surprise, "Third Master? Why are you here?"
Ning Shengsheng pulled Xue Chen aside.
Two people stood in a row eating melon.
"He Gui, why are you here?" Nangong Jinghong quickly regained his composure and did not answer the question directly.
"The Mirror Nightmare escaped from the water prison. My master ordered me to go down the mountain to capture it. I chased it here and it disappeared."
Mirror nightmare?
Nangong Jinghong glanced at Ning Shengsheng.
What a coincidence.
The princess happened to come and ask.
Ning Shengsheng was panicking inside, but she looked calm and indifferent.
So what?
If Nangong Jinghong asked her.
She said she saw it in miscellaneous books and heard some rumors, and asked out of curiosity.
She is a spoiled princess who has no cultivation at all.
Whatever you think comes true.
I definitely won't doubt her.
Nangong Jinghong motioned for them to go inside and talk.
The three of them entered the yard.
Xue watched the show silently and glanced at Ning Shengsheng beside him.
She had the word excitement carved on her face.
“…”
Ling Hegui: "Third Uncle, you left Qingling Sect without a word, and my father sent people to look for you several times."
"Well, I'm teaching at Tianji Pavilion now."
Nangong Jinghong brewed tea with elegant movements.
The usually calm Ling Hegui was no longer calm.
"No wonder we can't find it. You're teaching at Tianji Pavilion in Daning. Who among us would have thought of that?"
"Third Uncle, come back to Qingling Sect with me."
The tone changed from angry to pleading.
"Don't tell anyone you met me, okay?" Nangong Jinghong frowned slightly, looking like he was worried about something.
Ling Hegui's lips straightened. "You suddenly disappeared. Father and several of my uncles were heartbroken. Some said you were dead, but father didn't believe it and never gave up looking for you. How could I bear to help you deceive them?"
"Princess, please—"
Nangong Jinghong looked hesitant.
"You guys chat, we'll wait outside," Ning Shengsheng understood and pulled Xue Chen away.
They don't know what they talk about inside.
Ning Shengsheng stood on tiptoe, trying to reach the top of the wall.
My whole body is burning with the desire to hear gossip.
Xue Chen sighed, walked silently behind her, and picked up her legs.
"Oh wow?"
Ning Shengsheng lowered her head, "Thank you!"
She was about to prick up her ears to listen.
Nangong Jinghong threw a leaf towards her.
The leaves carry spiritual power.
The attack was powerful, but not enough to really hurt her.
"Ouch!"
Ning Shengsheng leaned back, her arms flailing in the air. If it weren't for Xue Chen, she would have almost fallen down.
After landing.
She explained sheepishly, "The wall is too slippery."
Xue Chenmo withdrew his hand silently and agreed: "Yeah, it is true."
"What do you think they're saying?"
Ning Shengsheng picked up the leaf, played with it in her hand, and looked inside curiously from time to time.
Xue Chen leaned against the wall and said in a calm tone:
"Ling Hegui asked her to return to the sect, but she was unwilling. It was nothing more than that she did something or had thoughts that she shouldn't have had, and she felt guilty and had no face to go back."
"Hey, what you said makes sense."
A stick of incense passed.
I don't know how the two of them talked.
When Ling He returned, he did not mention returning to the sect.
"Please, Mr. Xue, take Hegui for a stroll. The princess will have a few words with me."
Nangong Jinghong's eyes were wet, as if she had been crying.
Xue Chen glanced at Ning Shengsheng.
She nodded.
He then took Ling He back to other places.
Ning Shengsheng followed behind Nangong Jinghong.
The two of them found a place to sit down.
"Why does the princess know about the Mirror Nightmare?"
"The maid found some miscellaneous books for me to pass the time, and I flipped through a few pages out of boredom—"
"Your Highness!" Nangong Jinghong interrupted, her beautiful face smiling indulgently, "You don't have to lie to me."
So straightforward.
She moved her butt embarrassedly.
"I know the princess has a secret. Your Highness is a kind person. Jingyan will not do anything bad if he follows you. So whether he is captured by the Qingling Sect or not is not that important." Nangong Jinghong paused for a moment, lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "I will help the princess keep the secret. If anyone finds out that I am in Tianji Pavilion in the future."
"Princess, please protect me, okay?"
Ning Shengsheng quickly understood the meaning and nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
The two people understood each other tacitly and smiled at each other.
Ling Hegui did not find the Mirror Nightmare.
He also happened to receive an urgent call from the sect.
He asked Xue Chen to come back and tell her, and then hurried back to Qingling Sect.
It's been a busy day.
Ning Shengsheng dragged her tired body back to rest.
Had a good nap.
When I woke up, the sky was dyed red.
She suddenly remembered that she had not yet asked the system for the task reward.
【Host, you finally remembered me. 】
The cold mechanical voice sounded a little aggrieved.
"Your host is very busy. By the way, where is my reward for completing the mission?"
[Host, please wait, the reward is being drawn——]
Okay.
She drew her reward this time.
[I caught two: a high-level soul technique and a heavenly-level spiritual treasure. Which one do you want?]
"Of course I need high-level soul skills!"
In Xue Chen's illusion, when she was fighting Xue Heng, she witnessed how powerful soul magic was.
The soul technique used that time was called Binding Vine.
Just a beginner.
It’s that amazing.
If you learn advanced soul techniques.
In the future, you will be no worse than those gifted spiritual practitioners.
The black ball of memory merged into her sea of consciousness.
The soul technique is automatically saved.
She read it through and then analyzed it word by word.
I just feel that there are endless mysteries in it.
Practice until you become completely selfless.
Ning Shengsheng stopped when Song Gao brought in dinner. She asked, "What are we having for dinner today?"
"Your Majesty has made the Eight Treasure Duck. I'll have this servant bring it to you. There's also the crab meat and lion's head soup, and the crucian carp soup."
"I want to drink crucian carp soup~"
Zaoni served and washed his hands.
Ning Shengsheng sat at the round table, picked up the chopsticks, and suddenly thought of Xue Chen's thin back.
"Songgao, call Xue Chen over."
