Chapter 57

==================

With a calm expression, he folded up the letter and put it in his arms.

He was just about to go out to look for Xie Tingyun, but suddenly he remembered the letter Xie Tingyun wrote saying that he was going to look for his master.

When he heard the old man's silence from Taoist Ling, his brows furrowed. He took out the letter from his arms and took a look at it. Then, with a sullen face, he returned to his big account in the demon world.

Ning Chen was really confused by Xie Tingyun's coaxing yesterday, and forgot to go find Taoist Master Daoling to settle the score, so his real body has been standing in front of the blood pool.

The blood-like water in the pool slowly lingered around Ning Chen's ankles, and Ning Chen shook it off in disgust, striding towards Liuyun Sect.

What could make Xie Tingyun get up so early to go see his master?

Xie Tingyun, the eldest senior brother of a sect, took the lead in escaping punishment. How disgraceful! Taoist Master Daoling would be so angry.

That won't do.

No matter what, Xie Tingyun is now his permanent senior brother, permanent sparring partner, permanent captive, and permanent food, and Xie Tingyun was punished because of him.

So Ning Chen used his main account to take revenge on Taoist Master Daoling and prevent him from punishing Tingyun. There was no problem at all!

*

Pu Tang.

Taoist Priest Daoling paced back and forth, his chest heaving with anger. He angrily said, "Tingyun, as the eldest senior brother, how can you take the lead in escaping punishment! Where do you put the sect rules? Where do you put your master?"

His little disciple knew that he was just pretending to punish Xie Tingyun and made him kneel in the execution hall, but what was the result?

Xie Tingyun refused to even pretend to do anything!

Xie Tingyun was already very skilled at flattering his master. He brushed his sleeves and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully, "Master, you are right. Tingyun is wrong. Please punish me severely."

"However," Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, and then said, "Disciple would like to ask you for a favor. Can you postpone the punishment? Disciple has something very important to complete right now."

Taoist Master Dao Ling snorted heavily: "Can this old man still stop you?"

They were all his disciples, so he was reluctant to punish them or beat them. Xie Tingyun always made people feel at ease. This was even the first time that Xie Tingyun asked Taoist Master Daoling for something.

His anger hadn't even subsided yet, but his heart softened.

Taoist Master Daoling turned his back and said, "Go back..."

However, before Taoist Ling could finish his words, he heard a loud noise outside, and the entire wall next to the two of them collapsed.

The man with evil spirits kicked down a wall of the house openly and said coldly, "Daoling, you old bastard, come out and die."

The man had broad shoulders and long legs. Even after using a disguise, his pair of dark red eyes were still extremely cold and sharp. At first glance, he looked like an evil ghost who had come to collect a debt.

After Xie Tingyun saw who was coming, he couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "...Tian Xiao?"

Taoist Master Dao Ling's face turned pale: "Demon Lord?! I advise you not to be so arrogant!"

Ning Chen sneered, not taking the words seriously at all: "I am arrogant, what can you do to me?"

The fact that he was able to ignore the Liuyun Sect's defense and rush into the Pu Tang where Dao Ling was alone was self-evident.

Ning Chen's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he suddenly appeared behind Dao Ling.

Taoist Ling had not yet fully recovered from the backlash caused by the formation that was used to trap Ning Shen, and coupled with his old injuries, his condition was not very good.

But he is old and has old injuries on his body, but this does not mean that he can allow Tianxiao to be so arrogant and provocative!

An ancient wooden scepter suddenly appeared in Taoist Master Daoling's hand. He gathered his energy and calmly took Ning Chen's shot.

However, that was only for a moment, the spear in Ning Chen's hand continued to change, making it difficult to tell where the spear would come from next.

Xie Tingyun's expression changed, and he took out the spare sword from the storage ring. The next moment, he appeared next to his master and blocked Ning Chen's attack with one sword.

Ning Chen was dissatisfied with Xie Tingyun's obstruction, but he also knew that this was Xie Tingyun's master after all, and he could not help but stop it.

Even though the sword in Xie Tingyun's hand was not Chengfeng, it still played an amazing role. No matter how fierce, ghostly, and unpredictable Ning Chen's attack was, Xie Tingyun could handle it perfectly and steadily.

The two of them exchanged countless blows in the blink of an eye. Taoist Master Daoling looked unhappy and was about to strike with his cane, but Xie Tingyun skillfully blocked his attack and said apologetically, "Master, you are not feeling well. Please don't do anything. Leave it to me."

Ning Chen snorted and said, "The relationship between master and disciple is quite deep."

Xie Tingyun said helplessly: "If you have anything to say, just come to me. My master is not in good health, so don't bully him."

Ning Chen remained silent.

Seeing that everyone in Liuyun Sect was completely frightened, the elders of the sect rushed to the scene one after another to attack Ning Chen. The whole process took no more than an incense stick of time.

Ning Chen hadn't fought with Xie Tingyun for a long time, so this short period of time was enough for him to have a little fun. After all, Xie Tingyun had bought breakfast, played on the swing, and ran to the old man to apologize early in the morning. He didn't know if his injuries were completely healed. Ning Chen didn't really want to let Xie Tingyun get hurt during the fight.

So Ning Chen put away his weapon and retreated as quietly as he had come, before the overwhelming attack could fall on him.

Although he didn't catch Taoist Master Dao Ling and beat him up, he did fight with Xie Tingyun and smashed the old man's place into a mess, which almost relieved Ning Chen's hatred.

Ning Chen's actual condition is not at its peak. He is now at the stage of soaking in the blood pool to temper his devilish heart. If he does not enter the blood pool in time, Ning Chen's condition will be affected.

Fortunately, I took a short bath before coming out, so Ning Chen is fine now.

Seeing Ning Chen successfully escape, Xie Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Taoist Master Dao Ling was furious on the spot. Liuyun Sect was a big sect, but it was so easy for the Demon Lord to sneak in and wreak havoc everywhere without even any warning.

None of the elders dared to say a word. Who could stop Demon Lord Tian Xiao from acting so tyrannically by relying on his high level of cultivation? Ordinary restrictions could not stop him at all.

It can be said that when you reach the stage of tranquility, you can almost walk sideways without any fear.

Besides, didn't you also fail to sense the existence of the Demon Lord in advance...

People can only complain silently in their hearts.

The people of Liuyun Sect were ordered by Taoist Master Daoling to reinforce the existing formation. No one at the scene was interested in pursuing the matter of Xie Tingyun's escape from punishment. In addition, Xie Tingyun attracted the firepower of the Demon Lord at the critical moment and successfully minimized the losses. Only the Pu Tang was destroyed, and there were no other casualties.

Even Xie Tingyun did not expect that his merits and demerits could be offset in this way.

Xie Tingyun settled his master down so that he could recuperate with peace of mind, and then he returned to Yunfeng Pavilion without stopping.

The note he left for Ning Chen said he would be back in about an hour, but it was actually already much later. Now he could only hope that Ning Chen woke up late and didn't find out.

Xie Tingyun felt a little uneasy.

He was afraid that Ning Chen would be bored. If he went back now and found that Ning Chen was gone...

Xie Tingyun sighed and pushed the door open resignedly.

Just leave, I will go find him later.

However, when Xie Tingyun walked into Yunfeng Pavilion, he saw the man sitting leisurely on the swing, leaning his back, swinging with the swing.

Xie Tingyun couldn't help but slow down his pace. When he got closer, he saw that Ning Chen had indeed closed his eyes.

Did he just fall asleep on the swing?

Xie Tingyun secretly sighed. After all, the temperature outside was lower than inside the palace. If Ning Chen sat on the swing like this without any awareness or precautions, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

Xie Tingyun was about to bend down when he saw Ning Chen suddenly open his eyes.

For some reason, there was a hint of happiness and laziness in the corners of Ning's eyes and eyebrows, like a cat that had won a fight and came back with its tail wagging, looking proud and satisfied.

Then Ning Chen realized Xie Tingyun's presence and instinctively stepped back a little, saying, "Why are you here?"

Xie Tingyun withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, coughed lightly, and said, "I just came back, why did you fall asleep here?"

Ning Chen hadn't gotten over the joy of bullying the old man and having a brief fight with Xie Tingyun when he suddenly saw Xie Tingyun so close to him. It was really a bit scary.

But it’s no big deal anyway.

"The swing is very sturdy and it's quite fun to swing on it," Ning Chen was in a good mood and said, "Why did you come back just now?"

Xie Tingyun smiled softly: "I met a friend on the way and was delayed for a while."

Ning Chen knew that this friend was most likely referring to his big account that suddenly appeared in Liuyun Sect, so he asked with great interest: "Friend?"

Ning Chen was still a little curious about what kind of image he had in Xie Tingyun's mind.

Although it’s not as good as the treatment of vests, it shouldn’t be too far behind, right?

Xie Tingyun walked into the hall and took a look. He found that Ning Chen had not eaten the breakfast on the table, so he took out the lunch box and placed it on the small pavilion next to the swing. He said softly: "Come and eat breakfast now. You can't skip breakfast."

Ma Jia's body had just been created, so he wasn't hungry at all. Ning Chen never had the habit of eating breakfast, and he always ate it together with lunch.

But after all, it was someone's kindness, and I felt a little disappointed if I didn't eat it. So Ning quietly walked over and curiously looked into the food box.

Hearing Ning Chen's question, Xie Tingyun hummed, then said: "If you are very curious, I will let you two meet some other day? In fact, I think you two are quite similar in some aspects, maybe you can get along well."

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen didn't really want to have a big meeting with a small one, so he immediately refused: "No, no need."

Xie Tingyun said: "You should listen to it. Do you know where the similarities are?"

Ning Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.

As expected, Xie Tingyun thought for a while and said slowly: "You all don't know the way. To be honest, it's quite a coincidence."

Ning Chen: “…”

Curse again?

Ning Chen said: "Who asked you?"

Xie Tingyun smiled, and handed a small warming bag to Ning Chen, saying softly, "Don't be angry. Even if you are angry, eat your breakfast first."
