Last night, bombings and even hissing sounds rang out outside the city of Saluo, causing panic among the city's residents.
Thinking it was a strange phenomenon or an attack by demons and monsters, most people in the city shut their doors and died. Only a few cultivators sensed the aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator, but they dared not approach rashly.
Finally, dawn broke.
It snowed heavily all night last night, and monks have already cleared the streets.
The morning, which should have been quiet and chilly after the snowfall, was unusually lively.
"Aren't these the guys who used to follow the young city lord? Why are they all tied up like this now?"
"What goes around comes around. These people have been bullying others all day long because they are the young city lord's men. Now, they've finally gotten their comeuppance."
"This is truly gratifying! I wonder which brave warrior did it; it should have been done a long time ago."
"When they say 'Grandma Sheng Ning, I was wrong,' who is Sheng Ning?"
......
In just one night, an eye-catching scene appeared on the city wall of Saluo.
Eight tall, strong men were tied up by ropes, hanging halfway in the air, shouting, "Grandma Sheng Ning, I was wrong."
This is not the most eye-catching thing.
What was most striking was that this man was only wearing a pair of underpants, and when the people looked up from below the city wall, they could see him naked at a glance.
When Yu Ye stood below the city tower and watched this scene, a look of surprise first appeared on his face.
He quickly suppressed his surprise and his expression changed.
"Junior sister, you do bad things without taking your senior brother with you!"
Sheng Ning stood side by side with several senior brothers and laughed when he heard this, "If all of you senior brothers attack together, these people are probably not going to have a good time."
The implication is that she alone had managed to torment these eight men to this extent.
If Yu Ye and the others were to intervene as well, these eight people probably wouldn't see the sun rise the next day.
Yu Ye still felt indignant after hearing this.
He frowned, a few small pebbles appearing in his hand. "You bullied my junior sister and even launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night. I'll make you throw your little brothers!"
The eight men who were originally hanging on the city wall closed their eyes, refusing to look at the shameful scene before them.
They don't want to open their eyes, but there are plenty of people who force them to.
Feeling the pain in their bodies, all eight people exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Seeing their pained expressions, Yu snorted and said, "Next time, let's see who dares to bully my junior sister."
His childish actions were seen by Sheng Ning and the others as nothing out of the ordinary, which made Ye Si and Xian Ying, who were leaving the secret realm for the first time, exchange a glance.
"Has Sheng Ning always been like this?"
As the patriarch of the demon race, Xianying has never emerged since leading his people into the Northern Secret Realm a thousand years ago.
He knew Sheng Ning was very powerful, but he never expected that such a little girl who could kill Roy would have so many ways to torture people in her head.
Bai Ze lay on top of Sheng Ning's head.
Hearing this, its little tail twitched, and it said in a childish voice, "Yes, so don't even think about betraying her, because her methods of tormenting people are far beyond your comprehension."
Xianying has a gloomy personality and used many despicable methods when he was still on the mainland.
However, his methods were still slightly inferior to Sheng Ning's.
Lowering his eyes to conceal his thoughts, Xianying said nothing more.
The airship won't arrive for another day, so Sheng Ning and his group will need to stay in Saluo City for another day.
In just one day, the Invincible Sect met an old acquaintance here again.
Rather than calling them old acquaintances, they were more like people Sheng Ning knew.
At that time, Sheng Ning was strolling through the market with his fellow disciples.
They already had quite a few treasures in their possession, and most of what was sold in the market were things that were common in the Northern Region.
Qi Wenyao complained while comparing it to the treasures his own father had hoarded in his vault.
The vendor's face turned black upon hearing this.
"Young friend, are you going to buy or not? If not, go take a look over there. I don't have anything good here."
The vendor's dissatisfied tone made Sheng Ning and the others raise their heads, just as Qi Wenyao was about to say that the vendor was narrow-minded.
An uncertain voice called out from behind them.
"Sheng Ning?"
Sheng Ning initially thought she had misheard. She scratched her cheek and muttered, "I've been so obsessed with cultivating demonic arts these past few days that I'm actually hallucinating."
After all, in the city of Saluo, apart from her senior brothers, Qi Wenyao, and Xianying, only the storyteller recognized her.
But the storyteller never called her by her full name.
Turning around with a head full of questions, she saw a cultivator in a dark robe walking towards her from among a group of vendors, and her confusion did not fade.
Yu Ye and the others also saw the cultivator walking towards them.
There was only one thought in my mind.
look unfamiliar.
I've never seen it before.
"Junior Sister, who is that person? How does he know your name?"
Faced with her second senior brother's question, Sheng Ning frowned and shook her head, "I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence of names? After all, my name is quite ordinary."
Lu Qingan's face, which had been filled with doubt, instantly turned serious.
“A Ning’s name is anything but ordinary. Sheng Ning means peace and prosperity in a prosperous world. A Ning’s parents must have hoped that A Ning would become a useful person to the world, which is why they gave her this name.”
Lu Qingan's words received unanimous agreement from Su Daiyuan and the others.
but......
"This person... I think I vaguely remember him." Su Daiyuan touched his chin, and after a few breaths, he exclaimed "Ah!"
Sheng Ning and the others immediately turned their heads to look at him, their faces filled with curiosity.
"It is Liao Qifeng, the young city lord of Youyun City."
Sheng Ning seems to remember this name, perhaps.
Bai Ze, who was perched on her head, immediately raised his head upon hearing the name Liao Qifeng. "It's him?!"
Aside from refining weapons, alchemy, and drawing talismans, Sheng Ning's mind was always occupied with cultivation and searching for rare and precious treasures.
What happened in that gambling den in Youyun City was nothing more than a minor incident.
Especially considering that she and Liao Qifeng had only met a few times and for very short periods, it would be a miracle if she remembered them.
The reason Bai Ze remembered Liao Qifeng was not for any other reason than that the young city lord had once asked Sheng Ning if she was married.
Now in his cat form, Bai Ze narrowed his beastly eyes, his gaze towards the man standing before Sheng Ning filled with a hint of wariness.
Liao Qifeng never expected to see Sheng Ning in the city of Saluo.
A slight blush rose to his handsome face from excitement.
His gaze fell on Sheng Ning, and it took him a long while to speak in a hoarse voice.
"Sheng Ning, I didn't expect it to really be you."
"I heard your name from those people hanging on the city wall just now. I thought I must have misheard, or that there was someone in the city with the same name as you."
"I never expected that we would meet again."
