Chapter 231 "If you don't do that, I'll deduct your credits."
When Lian Chengyue woke up, he heard the sound of waves. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a white sand beach.
“I am…”
Lian Chengyue originally wanted to get up, but he saw Ning Mingmei in the blink of an eye. Ning Mingmei was wearing a black outer garment and kneeling beside him. The dim pink and purple sky of the ghost world made his outline soft, tender and beautiful. He's waiting for him to wake up...is that right?
At that moment, Lian Chengyue held her breath. Somehow, he felt that Ning Mingmei's facial features looked familiar.
It was as if he had seen him somewhere before...
Lian Chengyue was somewhat happy, but also somewhat suspicious. At this moment, he heard Ning Mingmei say, "You're awake."
"I have a mission for you."
After hearing these words, Lian Chengyue actually breathed a sigh of relief. There is no such thing as a free lunch. At this moment, he felt a kind of peace and happiness from the bottom of his heart: "What is the mission, Immortal Venerable?"
Ning Mingmei pointed to the vast river beside him.
"Follow the compass and fish something out for me."
"This great river is..."
"Forgetful River." Ning Mingmei said, "I want you to dive into the depths of the Forgetful River. The diving suit I gave you can serve as a precaution."
“…”
"You don't dare?" Ning Mingmei asked.
The young man lowered his eyes, and after a moment, he whispered, "Ning Xianzun, you gave me that diving suit when we were at Lanqiao. Did you decide from then on that you would let me enter the Wangchuan River to retrieve what you needed?"
Ning Mingmei was unmoved: "So what?"
Ning Mingmei's action was so clear, it would be strange if Lian Chengyue didn't see it. But it doesn’t matter, Ning Mingmei had already thought of his own words.
One of the lines of dialogue: Lian Chengyue, you really want to enter Piaomiao Peak, right? However, there are many people who want to enter Piaomiao Peak. Why should I choose you?
Second line of speech: If you want to enter Piaomiao Peak, you must concentrate on working for me. I give you this test to give you an opportunity. Others want it but are not yet qualified to get it.
The third line of dialogue: I have personally guided you, what else do you want? When others go out to do social practice, the instructors they find are just there to sign their names and do nothing else.
Talk tactic 4: I know it is very difficult to get into the water. But whether or not you get into the water is not a question of ability, but a question of attitude. What I want to see is your attitude towards learning. How can one become a superior person without enduring hardships? To see the big picture from the small, if you refuse to even go into the water today, what can we expect from you in the future?
Ning Mingmei thought about it and felt that his words were very mature and formed a closed loop. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lian Chengyue say, "Ning Xianzun, I am very happy."
"Immortal Ning prepared a diving suit for me before coming to Lanqiao, which means that I was in Immortal Ning's plan from the beginning. As expected, taking the college entrance examination step by step, winning, and following the procedures to come to Immortal Ning were the exclusive tests given to me by Immortal Ning."
"Why did Immortal Ning give the diving suit to me and not to others? It must not be because he trusts me, but because Immortal Ning believes that I have special talents."
"Besides, Immortal Ning specially brought me here and watched me go into the water... Immortal Ning trusts me so much. I feel very happy."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Lian Chengyue had already said everything he wanted to say.
"Okay. Go in the water first. Follow the direction of the compass and don't turn north by accident." Ning Mingmei said coldly, "After you complete this task, I will give you extra credits - the kind that will be valid for ten years."
ten years! Immortal Ning believes that he will be able to reach Piaomiao Peak within ten years!
Lian Chengyue bowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal Ning!"
This kid even thanked you for selling him.
"But there is one thing I am curious about." Lian Chengyue said, "Why did Immortal Ning say that I don't want to go to the north?"
"Over there, a master and disciple are having a life-and-death separation." Ning Mingmei said, "We won't go and join in the fun."
Lian Chengyue said "Oh", and then asked: "Is it Senior Brother Mu and Elder Chang?"
Lian Chengyue had never seen Chang Feichang before, but that did not prevent him from sniffing out the relationship between these people during the short time he was in the hall.
It seems that Mu Hanshan is going to stay in Qingji Sect. Mu Hanshan is currently studying at Piaomiao Peak, and Ning Mingmei obviously wants to take care of him. Lian Chengyue realized that this might be a handle that he could remember and use to threaten Mu Hanshan in the future.
For example, he threatened Mu Hanshan to reveal the questions and help him enter Piaomiao Peak as a graduate student.
This kid has a good memory. What he said sounded like a test. At this moment, the handsome boy's eyes were rolling around, and I don't know what he was up to. Ning Mingmei stretched out his hand wearing a plastic glove towards Wangchuan, and then suddenly said, "Lian Chengyue."
Lian Chengyue turned around: "?"
Then Ning Mingmei smeared water all over his face.
The River Lethe has the effect of making people forget. Short-term contact with the water of the Forgotten River will make people forget the most important thing in that person’s mind at that moment. Being attacked by the Forgotten River water under such sudden conditions, most people would forget the thing that is currently on their mind.
However……
Lian Chengyue: "Ning Xianzun, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about Senior Brother Mu."
?
Haven't you forgotten this at all?
Lian Chengyue looked at Wangchuan in front of him with a confused look: "Ning Xianzun brought me here, do you need me to help Ning Xianzun do something?"
...In the end, he actually forgot the task I assigned him!
Why is Lian Chengyue's train of thought so unusual? Is the task I assigned to him so important?
Ning Mingmei had no choice but to repeat the task coldly. This time, he felt Lian Chengyue's joy again—still the joy of being observed, valued, and having a future.
He held his chin and ordered Lian Chengyue to put on the diving suit as quickly as possible. At this moment, Ning Mingmei's internal energy was still surging, causing his eyebrows to twitch. The feeling is very subtle - just like life is about to break out of its cocoon. And at this moment, Ning Mingmei was still thinking about Xiang Wuxing.
However, reason told Ning Mingmei that there was no way he could rush to the front line at this moment - firstly because it would take a long time, and secondly because of his current physical condition. He sent the message and told Fu Weidao to hurry on his way. At this point he had done everything he could and left the rest to fate. Instead of worrying, it is better to do what is at hand - such as quickly retrieving Wangchuan Bingpo.
At this moment, Lian Chengyue finally changed her clothes.
This diving suit is actually a bit short for Lian Chengyue. Ning Mingmei then discovered that Lian Chengyue's figure was actually very slender. It's just that he often lowered his head when he was next to Ning Mingmei, so Ning Mingmei didn't notice it. Ning Mingmei glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, you should go down first. Although this diving suit can block most of the effects of the Wangchuan River, the excessive water pressure will still weaken its effectiveness when you reach the depths of the Wangchuan River - that is to say, before you come into contact with the Wangchuan Ice Soul, you will temporarily lose your most important memories."
"However, this is not a fatal problem. As long as you hold the Ice Soul in your hand, you will no longer be affected by the Forgotten River Water. By then, you will recover all your memories and come back with what I want." Ning Mingmei said, "Are you ready?"
Lian Chengyue nodded. Ning Mingmei said: "You are very confident."
"Ning Xianzun, you can rest assured in me." Lian Chengyue said softly, "I will be your most outstanding disciple - no one can compare to me. Senior Brother Wen was disobedient, and Senior Brother Mu was disobedient to his master. I am different from them."
"I will be very, very obedient." He smiled.
At that moment, Ning Mingmei actually saw a strong darkness and ambition in those eyes. The owner of the eyes seemed to be saying: He would do whatever it takes to get to Ning Mingmei's side.
In addition to Ning Mingmei's goal, Mu Hanshan's handles and unusual stories are all things he will remember and use as tools to help him climb faster.
Ning Mingmei realized once again that although this kid had become a psychopath, he was still a venomous snake.
"Then I'll wait and see." Ning Mingmei just said in an uninterested tone.
He sat by the beach, watching Lian Chengyue dressed neatly and diving step by step to the bottom of the Wangchuan River guided by the compass, thinking about what was happening next door.
Perhaps at this moment, Chang Feichang had already given Mu Hanshan the water of Wangchuan.
One stick of incense before, Ning Mingmei was still in the north. Things didn't go smoothly for Chang Feichang at the beginning. Because Mu Hanshan clenched his teeth even when he was unconscious, and looked like he would never open his mouth. Ning Mingmei dragged Lian Chengyue like a dead dog and watched coldly, then said: "You have to find a way to open his mouth."
Chang Feichang asked him: "What should we do?"
Ning Mingmei said: "I don't know, why don't you try to kiss him."
Chang Feichang: ...
Ning Mingmei: "Maybe he will open his mouth while you are kissing him."
So the kiss was to make him forget himself by drinking the water of the River of Oblivion, right? What a vicious kiss. Ning Mingmei was busy with his own affairs and had no way of verifying how Chang Feichang would accomplish this task later. He only said to Chang Feichang when dragging Lian Chengyue away: "Don't feed him too much. He will forget all the knowledge he has learned in the past few years and it will delay my research progress."
Chang Feichang said: "Well..."
When Ning Mingmei turned around, he heard Chang Feichang say, "Mingmei, if you were me, you would never make things so bad."
What does this “bad” mean? Was he referring to the teacher-student relationship between him and Mu Hanshan, or was it just the guilt he felt in his heart at the moment?
Maybe not out of guilt. If Chang felt really guilty, how could he have been so quick and cruel as to give Mu Hanshan the water of Wangchuan River to drink.
Ning Mingmei sat on the shore, thinking that Chang Feichang's worry was completely unnecessary. After all, there are infatuated disciples like Mu Hanshan in this world, but there are very few perverted disciples.
He only has disobedient disciples under his command. And there are too many disobedient disciples.
"The road ahead is long and arduous!" Ning Mingmei suddenly said.
There was dead silence between heaven and earth. I don't know what's wrong with the system. It remained silent and didn't say anything. I don't know whether it was unwilling or afraid to do so at the moment.
Piaomiao Peak, Qingji Sect, Xiang Wuxing, the ghost world, the back mountain... There are so many things to do. Ning Mingmei rubbed the bridge of his nose and let out a soft breath.
But his brows were always furrowed.
At this moment, the magic weapon in his hand detected that Lian Chengyue was gradually approaching the target at the bottom of Wangchuan River. Lian Chengyue is worthy of being the male lead, and he dives very smoothly. Ning Mingmei looked at the beacon in his hand and for a moment felt like he was fishing.
What he wanted to fish out was the Wangchuan Ice Soul under the Wangchuan River, and Lianchengyue was the bait he put down. Ning Mingmei found this association quite interesting. His brows relaxed for a rare moment.
Then……
"Lian Chengyue is returning to shore quickly?"
Ning Mingmei frowned. Not long after, he saw Lian Chengyue climbing up from the shore dripping wet, and...
His eyes were blank.
Ning Mingmei had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked patiently, "What are you doing up here?"
The boy finally turned his blank eyes towards him.
"Ning Xianzun, you asked me to leave just now?"
Ning Mingmei:?
Ning Mingmei originally thought that Lian Chengyue would forget the reason why he entered Qingji Sect, forget his past in Ciyou Village, or at the very least forget his acquaintance with Ning Mingmei... But he never expected that the most important thing that Lian Chengyue forgot at the moment he approached Wangchuan Bingpo was...
The task of obtaining the Forgotten Ice Soul for yourself.
Ning Mingmei was silent for a moment, then said, "It's me."
Lian Chengyue was startled for a moment, then became ecstatic: "What did the Immortal Venerable ask me to do?"
Ning Mingmei: "...Take the Ice Soul of Wangchuan."
After a while, the moon in Liancheng went down again. Ning Mingmei continued to look at the beacon and continued fishing.
Soon, Lian Chengyue climbed up again.
Moreover, he had empty hands and looked dazed.
Lian Chengyue: "Ning Xianzun, it was you just now..."
"It's me. I asked you to go down and get the Wangchuan Bingpo." Ning Mingmei said coldly.
Ning Mingmei continued fishing, and after a while, Lian Chengyue came up again.
"Ning..." he said.
Ning Mingmei: "Go down and get Wangchuan Bingpo."
And then...
After Lian Chengyue climbed up for the seventh time, Ning Mingmei finally looked at him and said coldly, "Is there nothing more important in your life?"
Lian Chengyue: "Ning Xianzun, I really don't understand what you are talking about."
Ning Mingmei: ...
He never expected that Lian Chengyue's life was so dull that the act of going down to get the Wangchuan Bingpo for him became his most important memory.
How embarrassed would Mu Hanshan next door feel?
Ning Mingmei stared at Lian Chengyue and began to think. At this moment, the system suddenly said faintly: "Maybe, you can also kiss him."
Ning Mingmei answered with a concise word: "Get lost."
He thought about it again and again, and finally said to Lian Chengyue: "Lian Chengyue."
"Um?"
Ning Mingmei: "Master Qi and I have a child."
……child.
Wait, kid!
Suddenly, Lian Chengyue’s eyes widened. He looked at Ning Mingmei's profile and said, "Could it be..."
Ning Mingmei coldly kicked Lian Chengyue, whose eyes were wide open, into the Wangchuan River.
This sentence is very meaningful, enough to remind Lian Chengyue of his mission.
This time, after waiting for half an hour, the beacon finally showed that Lian Chengyue had returned with Wangchuan Bingpo.
The peaceful Wangchuan River became turbulent due to the loss of Wangchuan Bingpo. Ning Mingmei stood on the shore, wearing a full-body plastic raincoat. The water of the River of Oblivion roars and surges, but it cannot penetrate the polyvinyl chloride. Finally, Ning Mingmei saw Lian Chengyue breaking through the sea surface and walking towards him.
He held a light blue object in his hand. The crystal clear object, which was emitting a slight chill, was exactly the water in the water, the Forgotten River Ice Soul.
Ning Mingmei said: "Give it to me."
He stretched out his hand, but saw Lian Chengyue looking up. Ning Mingmei had never seen such a gloomy look.
"Give it to me." Ning Mingmei repeated.
“…”
Ning Mingmei: "If you don't do it, I'll deduct your credits."
With Ning Mingmei's personality, how could he possibly say "Didn't you say you were the most obedient?", haha.
...Lian Chengyue finally handed over Wangchuan Bingpo. The object felt cold to the touch, so Ning Mingmei put it into a box that had been prepared long ago. The waves in the Wangchuan River are raging and will soon cause a huge wave. Ning Mingmei said: "Lian Chengyue..."
Lian Chengyue: "What Immortal Ning said just now..."
Ning Mingmei: "Let's talk about it later. Set up this water pump for me."
……Depend on!
Lian Chengyue went to arrange the water pump with a gloomy face. Ning Mingmei moved his position and continued to wait for the water to be pumped.
After obtaining hundreds of tons of Wangchuan water, Ning Mingmei finally ordered Lian Chengyue to put away the device. At this moment, Lian Chengyue finally had the chance to speak again: "What Immortal Ning just said..."
"Fake." Ning Mingmei said nonchalantly.
As a superior, Ning Mingmei naturally has no obligation to take care of Lian Chengyue's feelings. He walked up along the beach and finally arrived at the same place.
There was only the unconscious Mu Hanshan at that location, and Chang Feichang had disappeared.
