Sheng Ning had already put Liao Qifeng out of his mind after resolving the gambling den incident in Youyun City.
After all, this man was Shi Yueyao's loyal dog and her first man.
She could save the Invincible Sect, but she couldn't save the other men who were related to Shi Yueyao.
With a slight pursing of her lips, Sheng Ning nodded to the person in front of her, "So it's the young city lord, long time no see."
Compared to Liao Qifeng's nervousness and enthusiasm, Sheng Ning's attitude was noticeably colder.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Liao Qifeng's smile stiffened. "Are you heading to the Northern Region?"
"I heard that the Northern Secret Realm has recently opened, and this time a totem has even appeared. Unfortunately, I'm being held back by my father. If you go to the Northern Realm now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
The monks who can appear in the city of Sal.
They either came from the Northern Regions or were heading to the Northern Regions.
As a cultivator from the mainland, Liao Qifeng was certain that Sheng Ning was preparing to travel to the Northern Region and was making preparations for her journey.
Their gazes fell on the stall behind Sheng Ning and the others.
He spoke softly, "These spiritual fruits and artifacts aren't anything exceptional. I have some here..."
"Hey fellow Daoists, what's wrong with you all?!"
Before Liao Qifeng could finish speaking, the vendor selling spirit fruits and spirit artifacts was so angry at his words that he glared and puffed out his beard.
"I'm just a small business owner. What have I done to offend anyone? This young girl came and belittled me, and now you're belittling me too. What? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Liao Qifeng had no idea that Sheng Ning and the others had already made their comments on the items at the stall.
He immediately clasped his hands in apology, and after spending two high-grade spirit stones to buy a low-grade spirit weapon, the matter was finally settled.
Su Daiyuan and the others stood to the side.
Seeing that Liao Qifeng had taken the initiative to buy things as an apology, they realized that he had been taken advantage of.
All eyes turned to Sheng Ning.
"Junior Sister, how did you become acquainted with the young city lord of Youyun City?"
"Yeah, yeah, the way he looked at you just now felt weird to me, it almost gave me goosebumps."
"This young city lord is rarely in Youyun City; instead, he travels around training. Junior Sister is always with us. Did the two of them know each other before?"
"Didn't you all hear what Bai Ze said just now? This guy asked Junior Sister if she was married. He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat!"
"Shoot him."
Liao Qifeng is not deaf.
He could hear all the conversations of Su Daiyuan and the other four.
He took the low-grade spiritual weapon of extremely poor quality from the smug-looking vendor.
When Liao Qifeng looked away, a hint of embarrassment appeared in his eyes. "Sheng Ning, I..."
Sheng Ning glanced at him and said, "Is the young city lord here in Saluo City on business? If so, then my senior brothers and I will not disturb you any longer."
"Senior brothers, the second, third, fourth, and fifth years, go back to the restaurant to rest."
Anyone with eyes could see that she didn't want to have any further entanglement with the man in front of her.
Sheng Ning's lack of interest in pursuing the matter doesn't mean Liao Qifeng doesn't want to.
Seeing that his fellow disciples were about to leave, Liao Qifeng's face immediately showed a look of anxiety.
In a short while, he rushed in front of the group and blocked their way.
Seeing that he was oblivious and blocked their way, Yu frowned and reached out to snatch the Gatling gun from Guan Yunchuan's hand.
“Young City Lord, I’m only being polite to you because you are the Young City Lord of Youyun City.”
"If you continue to harass my junior sister, don't blame me for killing you right now!"
Guan Yunchuan stood aside, looking helpless. "Fourth Senior Brother, you stole my lines again."
Liao Qifeng's face flushed red after hearing Yu Ye's words, whether from anger or embarrassment was unclear.
He glanced at Sheng Ning, who was surrounded by several senior brothers, and when he saw the little white cat perched on her head, a familiar feeling welled up in his heart.
But this familiar feeling came and went quickly, disappearing from his mind before he could even grasp it.
Gripping the low-grade spiritual weapon in his hand, Liao Qifeng said in a low voice, "Sheng Ning, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "What is it that requires us to discuss alone? Young City Lord, please rest assured, my senior brothers are all on our side, there won't be any problems."
"As for the other two, you can pretend they don't exist."
Qi Wenyao and Xianying: ......
One of them is the young master of the Qi family, and the other is the patriarch of the demon clan.
They are all very famous.
How come in Sheng Ning's words, she became someone who doesn't exist?
Liao Qifeng didn't care what the two of them were thinking.
Seeing that Sheng Ning was unwilling to talk to him privately, he gritted his teeth before speaking in a deep voice, "If you don't want to talk to me privately, we can find a private room in a restaurant."
“There’s a reason for this. If you hadn’t known about this matter and hadn’t committed acts of sabotage that day, I wouldn’t have forced you to discuss this matter.”
Liao Qifeng's words were too ambiguous.
It exudes a strong sense of 'you know it, I know it, but others don't'.
Sheng Ning glanced at him and, seeing no hint of a joke in his eyes, pointed to the restaurant beside her.
Let's talk over here.
-
Inside a private room on the second floor of the restaurant facing the street, a barrier blocked the gasps of surprise from the occupants.
"What do you mean by the statue of the goddess circulating on the mainland? Nothing like that happened before we left."
Yu frowned as she looked at Liao Qifeng sitting in front of her.
The latter also frowned, and slightly increased the pressure on the teacup in his hand, instantly turning the ceramic teacup into dust.
"To make it more convincing, I specially recorded this video, so please take a look."
"For the past six months, my father has been forcibly detained in Youyun City, but I couldn't stand it and often sneaked out to explore."
"When I first saw the statue of the goddess, I thought it was the deity worshipped in that small town, and I didn't suspect anything at first."
"Until I saw the same goddess statue in various places, the incense in the goddess temple was so strong that it was several times stronger than that in ordinary temples that enshrined goddess statues."
Sheng Ning and the others hadn't been gone for very long.
Cultivators often meditate or go into seclusion for several years or even decades, and some have even secluded themselves for a hundred years.
In just over half a year, temples dedicated to the goddesses were built in various towns and cities across the mainland.
The number of the goddess's followers has grown from a handful at the beginning to countless now.
When Liao Qifeng got to this point, he raised his hand to his forehead, looking quite troubled.
"When Sheng Ning first arrived in Youyun City, he discovered a statue of a goddess enshrined in a gambling den."
"Originally, I came to Salo City to find the city lord of Salo City to discuss this matter together."
"Many city lords on the mainland have been attracted by the goddess statue. I have been to many places, and Saluo City is the last hope."
"What I didn't expect was that I would meet you here again, Sheng Ning. Would you be willing to help me?"
