Chapter 59

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

The following days seemed particularly leisurely.

Without Ning Chen, the great troublemaker, who repeatedly came to cause trouble, the Liuyun Sect was indeed much more stable. As the eldest senior brother, Xie Tingyun usually took care of the sect's affairs, which were all trivial matters that did not cause any trouble.

Taoist Master Daoling was recuperating from his injuries, and Xie Tingyun recovered quickly, so all his injuries were healed, and the palm seal fell into his hands again.

Even so, Xie Tingyun was still able to spare a lot of time to take Ning Chen to play down the mountain.

Xie Tingyun was obviously very familiar with the people living down the mountain. He knew almost everything about which stalls were at the entrance of each alley, which classic and delicious ones, which ones were conscientious and which ones were made with solid ingredients. He took Ning Chen to eat along the way, buying a little from each dish. Ning Chen tried about a dozen kinds of food, and there was not a single disappointment.

To be honest, Ning Chen always felt that Xie Tingyun was too familiar with the surroundings. No normal person would be like Xie Tingyun, who remembered whether every shop on the entire street was delicious or not, and then took Ning Chen to taste all the delicious food, and then told Ning Chen which shops had done unscrupulous things when they walked away.

In that case, it seems as if it has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for someone to come and show all the good things to him.

However, when Ning Chen asked, Xie Tingyun just smiled and said nothing.

After going down the mountain to eat some delicious food, the two sneaked into Taoist Ling's private armory. Ning Chen touched every weapon. For someone who loves fighting, this place is simply a paradise.

However, Ning Chen was too disdainful to take Shundao Ling Zhenren's weapon. He weighed the open-back broadsword in his hand, memorized its shape, and then put it back.

Xie Tingyun looked at the sword that Ning Chen had been holding for the longest time, and said, "Don't you have any that you like?"

Ning Chen said: "No."

“…”

During this period, Ning Chen even met Ah Chao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

At that time, Xie Tingyun was checking the footage that Ah Zhao had played back to see if there were any other disciples who dared to sneak out. Ning Chen, who was standing by, poked his head over to join in the fun. After watching for a while, he laughed, "Brother, the order in our sect is really good. There aren't many disciples who sneaked out to play. There are exactly two, no more, no less."

Ning Chen held up one finger, then two more, and said, "Every day, it's just the two of us."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

The disciples around him began to look at Ning Chen with something strange in their eyes.

Xie Tingyun coughed lightly and said, "We are different. We have long passed the time of being forced to study and practice. We are completely free in the sect, so this is considered a normal outing and there is no need to be punished."

What's more, Xie Tingyun, the senior brother, took Ning Chen out only after he had dealt with the urgent matters of the day. He was neither lazy nor absent from his post. What's wrong with going out for fun? There's no problem, right?

Ning Chen gave Xie Tingyun a thumbs up.

It still has to be you, senior brother.

After half a month, Ning Shen's body had been completely soaked in the blood pool. He immediately cut off the body and went to the system mall to exchange it for a big sword that he had been longing for for a long time.

He really wanted it badly. After all, a new weapon only cost 6 points, which Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun earned by hanging around for half a day. It wouldn't be too much to buy some.

It is about three feet long and more than one foot wide, with blades on both sides and an extremely sharp tip. The back of the blade is about half a finger wide and thick, with two blade grooves on it. The whole knife is dark gray in color, and its edge is hidden, but it is intimidating.

Ning Chen wiped the new knife and thought eagerly: I really want to find Xie Tingyun to try out his new knife.

But Xie Tingyun had taken him out to play recently, and he was already tired enough from handling sect affairs, so Xie Tingyun turned off the lights early today.

Ning Chen was too embarrassed to capture anyone to use as a sparring partner, so he waited idly until dawn, and in the process went to the demon tribe where he had eaten the buffet last time and took a walk around.

His original intention was to see if there were any foolish people who would come to his doorstep to be his first victim, but he found that the tribe was no longer as lifeless as before. The young demons were being scolded by their elders to learn how to kill the enemies, and they were all as excited as chickens with blood injected.

Seeing Ning Chen coming, the whole tribe cheered. The old tribe leader with purple eyes refused to be helped by others and performed the highest etiquette of the demon tribe to Ning Chen. He said: "Your Majesty, I have no way to repay your kindness. I only have a magic core that is still beating and has not aged yet. Please enjoy it."

He knew that His Majesty was probably here to look for a target whose talents he could devour, and they just happened to be such a target.

Being able to become the Lord's feed is their only and supreme value.

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen raised his hand and held the scabbard in reverse, and used the handle to pick up the old demon, and said impatiently: "Do you think I am a glutton and eat everything? You don't eat the old ones, you don't eat the young ones, just go back to do what you should do, and don't bother me."

Hearing Ning Chen say this, the eyes of some young demons who were still growing brightened, and they came up one after another, saying, "Really, Your Majesty? I meet your requirements very well!"

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen said coldly, "You too, get out! How much bigger are you than those young demons? You are just a bunch of mosquito legs, not even enough for me to fill my teeth with. Get out! We'll talk when you grow up."

The demons expressed deep regret and fled cleanly.

The joyful sounds of the tribe woke up Agui, who had been training the young demons for three days and three nights. He turned over and took out the two axes from under his pillow. When he rushed out, he found that it was Ning Chen. He couldn't help but said in surprise, "Your Majesty? Why are you here?"

Ning Chen asked: "Why are you here?"

A Kui smiled shyly and said, "Those kids said they wanted to learn some powerful Kung Fu and magic from A Kui so that they can protect Your Majesty like A Kui in the future."

Ning Chen: “…”

No, what are a bunch of young demons who can't even hit Agui with a finger doing!

Ning Chen's scalp tingled. He felt like he wasn't suitable to stay here anymore, so he immediately decided to turn around and leave.

A Kui groaned a few times and chased after him, but Ning Chen seemed to have thought of something and grabbed him: "A Kui, I got a new sword, do you want to try it?"

A Kui immediately drew out his double axes, leaned forward and said respectfully: "A Kui is very lucky."

The fact that these words came out of His Majesty's mouth meant that His Majesty thought highly of him and was willing to use him as a touchstone!

You know, His Majesty's usual opponents were at the level of the Holy Son of Humanity, so how could he, a small demon, have a chance against them?

Agui lasted for a stick of incense under Ning Chen's command, and this was the result of Ning Chen deliberately letting him off.

However, facing an enemy with a much larger realm gap, being able to hold on for this long is already quite good.

The night passed quickly. Ning Chen sat there, wiping the knife, while keeping his attention on the vest to observe Xie Tingyun's movements.

Xie Tingyun had promised him not to go out on missions and not to get hurt, so he was waiting to fulfill his promise.

Xie Tingyun has always had a good sleep. According to Ning Chen's observations of staying awake for so many nights, Xie Tingyun really likes to sleep curled up in the quilt, and he is very quiet in bed, sometimes staying in this position until dawn.

When Xie Tingyun wakes up in the morning, he doesn't get up immediately. He will first stretch himself out and then lie in bed for a while with his eyes closed.

If someone knocked on the bell outside the Yunfeng Pavilion at this time, and shouted "Senior Brother, what are you doing?", Xie Tingyun would close his eyes and bury himself in the quilt, pretending not to hear, so that he could sneak in a little more time to sleep peacefully before getting up to work.

After about an incense stick of time, Xie Tingyun got up quietly as usual.

Ning Chen seemed to have discovered some new continent. At first, he wanted to pull Xie Tingyun up and tell him that you, a senior brother, actually stayed in bed. But while waiting for Xie Tingyun to wake up, he fell asleep again without realizing it. After he woke up, he could no longer see Xie Tingyun. His desire to gloat over his misfortune in front of Xie Tingyun was also gone. When Ning Chen thought that he might have to take the risk of being accused of staying up all night and staring at people in order to gloat over his misfortune, he didn't want to continue.

Why bother losing?

However, today Xie Tingyun was not like usual.

The sky gradually brightened from dim to bright, and it was already past the latest time Xie Tingyun usually got up, but at this moment he was still staying in bed.

Ning Shen thought about whether he should dig up the snowball himself and let him experience the dangers of the world and not be a sleeper anymore. But after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

Forget it, sleeping in is not against the law. It is human nature. Even a senior brother has the right to sleep in.

I don’t know how long it was, but the snowball that had been suppressed all night finally trembled and collapsed suddenly.

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes and saw Xie Tingyun with a pale face, sweat all over his body, pressing his temples, breathing rapidly and disorderly, and his chest heaving.

Ning Chen asked, "Xie Tingyun?"

Xie Tingyun stared at Ning Chen for a long while with his eyes blurry and unfocused, but still said nothing.

It must be a nightmare, Ning thought.

Ning Chen said nothing. He raised his hand and moved closer to Xie Tingyun little by little. When Xie Tingyun showed no resistance, he gently pushed him down to lie down.

The thin shoulders under Ning Chen's palms were trembling slightly, clearly with heat, but Xie Tingyun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Ning Chen always felt that there was a gleam of light in Xie Tingyun's eyes when he stared at him.

This face seemed to be able to calm people. Xie Tingyun's eyelashes trembled as he stared at the calm face and slowly lay down following his movements.

Ning Chen didn't say a word the whole time. He pulled Xie Tingyun's quilt very naturally and covered him up to his shoulders. After covering him, he remembered something and pulled the quilt again to cover his head.

The shadow gradually covered Xie Tingyun's eyes, his breathing suddenly became disordered, and he suddenly raised his hand to stop Ning Shen's action, refusing to let him cover his head with the quilt.

“…”

Ning Shen let go and expressed his compromise.

Xie Tingyun's breathing slowed down little by little, and he closed his eyes deeply, as if he finally realized that this was a nightmare without daybreak.

Afterwards, Xie Tingyun half sat up and knelt on the bed. He stretched out his arms to put around Ning Chen's shoulders and neck, and silently leaned down in Ning Chen's stunned eyes, pressed his hands against Ning Chen's neck, then closed his eyes and became completely quiet.
