Chapter 263 Transition
"I……"
"Who is she?" Ning Mingmei pressed on. "She told you where we are? Why did you cooperate with her? Why did you believe her?"
Ning Mingmei's questions were like a string of cannonballs, and Wu Yu's face turned pale. On the other side, Lian Chengyue slowly stood up.
He suddenly realized that Ning Mingmei seemed to be living in another world that did not belong to him.
Ning Mingmei is pursuing a truth. Ning Mingmei knows something he doesn't know and is extremely eager for the answer to this question.
How could he not know this?
"She helped me. Before the Demon Fox Tribe's High Priest intended to mark me... I escaped from the Demon Fox Tribe's territory once." Wu Yu said slowly, "I woke up from a coma... After she knew about my situation, she told me that running away would never solve the problem. Moreover, I have always been a puppet created and controlled by the Demon Fox Tribe's High Priest. Because of this relationship, I cannot escape from the Demon Fox Tribe's High Priest's palm."
Ning Mingmei said: "So she gave you the method and advice to resist the High Priest of the Demon Fox Clan?"
Wu Yu nodded. Ning Mingmei asked again: "Where did you escape to, is this area around here?"
"...I don't remember." Wu Yu tried hard to recall, and finally shook his head with difficulty.
Ning Mingmei's heart beat faster and faster. He said, "After that, you started to believe her, didn't you? Just like a fledgling bird, it always believes the first person it meets when it is in its most difficult and inexperienced time."
"...She told me that Bai Bugui and others would come to the fox tribe's territory, and also told me that this was the best time to resurrect Su Jue and return his freedom to him. But she didn't say that the demons would also come here." Wu Yu said.
"The timing of the demons' arrival was very coincidental. It happened to be when Bai Bugui's transformation ritual was completed. What's more coincidental is that due to the presence of Wu Yun and I, the efficiency of Bai Bugui's transformation ritual has been greatly improved. In other words, if there were no unexpected factors, the demon army would have arrived when the transformation ritual was halfway through." Ning Mingmei said, "At this time, Bai Bugui is very vulnerable and can be killed at any time. In addition, there is..."
He paused.
"Anything else?" Wu Yu asked. An ominous premonition made his face turn pale.
"...There is Su Jue. Before the transformation ceremony, Su Jue's residual soul was imprisoned in the forbidden area of the Demon Fox Clan. Although it was painful and he could never get out, there was no possibility of being killed. Moreover, there was always a risk of him being used by people with ulterior motives and resurrected." Ning Mingmei said slowly, "When the transformation ceremony is halfway through, his residual soul will be extracted from the stone slab. This is when Bai Bugui is most vulnerable, and also when he is most vulnerable, and also..."
There is the only chance that Su Jue can be killed.
Ning Mingmei said: "At the same time, you will be silenced. I have always been cautious and self-protective. That person probably thinks that I will abandon the people of the Demon Fox Clan and run away. Then, the hat of colluding with the Demon Clan will be put on my head. The Demon Fox Clan will also hate my interference. This is really a good thing to kill three birds with one stone!"
When talking about "keeping oneself safe", Ning Mingmei actually had a moment of self-mockery. In the eyes of others, he is indeed like this. Be prudent and protect yourself, maximize your interests, and never confront people you cannot defeat head-on.
He thought that it was a matter of one thought that made him stay in the Demon Fox Tribe's territory to fight Jiang Duo - because of one thought, he let Gui Ruoxue and the others leave first, and after a moment of hesitation, he saw the miserable situation of the Demon Fox Tribe.
Therefore, everyone knows that Ning Mingmei and Jiang Duo have fought and are irreconcilable.
Therefore, to deal with Weng Xingyun, we must use the same method we use to deal with idealists. To deal with Ning Mingmei, you must use the same methods you use to deal with sophisticated egoists. This is really wonderful.
But who could have thought that just that moment of surprise and hesitation, just that moment of the inner balance tilting towards idealism, would allow Ning Mingmei to escape from this trap?
However, if Lian Chengyue had not been there, he might have died there. So although this plan failed to take away Ning Mingmei's reputation, it could at least take away Ning Mingmei's life. It’s not a loss.
A sophisticated egoist died because of his ideals, what an ironic ending.
Wu Yu's face turned pale. Soon, he frowned, full of doubts: "Did she go through so much trouble just to kill You Su Jue? If You Su Jue is alive, what impact will it have on her?"
What's more, Su Jue is now just a remnant soul. Would that person absolutely not let go of even a one percent chance of Su Jue's resurrection?
"I don't know either." Ning Mingmei shook his head, "But I guess, behind every abnormal action, there must be a dirty and unacceptable reason."
The truth remains shrouded in mystery. Ning Mingmei just said: "High Priest, it seems that you still have to continue with us."
Wu Yu remained silent. After a moment, he nodded slightly.
Ning Mingmei looked at Wu Yu who stood up from the muddy water by the stream. He had the appearance of the high priest of the fox demon clan and wore the purple robe of the fox demon clan, but the hem of the robe was covered in mud, just like the dirty life he lived after his resurrection. The mud mixed with the stream water was dotted around, and it was no longer possible to tell what was black and what was white.
Ning Mingmei naturally had no reason to judge him, for example, "It is wrong for you to treat Bai Bugui like this."
But before leaving, Ning Mingmei asked again: "When did you escape from the Demon Fox Tribe and meet that person?"
Wu Yu answered for a moment. Ning Mingmei calculated carefully and found that it was five years after he came into this world!
Is there any coincidence in this?
Ning Mingmei asked again: "What does the woman look like?"
"She was wearing white clothes and a veil. I never saw her real face," said Wu Yu.
The mob has never concealed its weirdness. Ning Mingmei then realized that this person was definitely not one of the mob. Instead, two words came to his mind.
"Nightflower..."
"she is?"
Ning Mingmei shook his head and said nothing, still in deep thought. But when he passed by Lian Chengyue, he found that the other party had his head slightly lowered, as if he had something to say.
Ning Mingmei asked: "What do you want?"
"Master, I can actually stop it."
Ning Mingmei: ...
This is a useless patch. Ning Mingmei's eyes were dead, and he just stared at Lianchengyue.
"Actually, I have a lot of secrets." Lian Chengyue continued, "Because I have a lot of secrets, I can actually stop them."
Ning Mingmei: "Yes. You have a lot of secrets. Lead the way."
Just let it go.
There was an obvious reluctance in Lian Chengyue's eyes. Ning Mingmei looked at him and thought, so this is what Qi Miancheng was like when he couldn't become the principal.
Apart from the Fangcun Mountains, going further east is Yedu. Yedu is also a major capital city in the human world, and is renowned for its prosperity and beauty. But now, along the way, everyone saw only a desolate scene.
There seemed to be groups of ants gathered in one place on the broken earth. When Ning Mingmei looked carefully, he found that they were groups of displaced mortals. Fearing the invasion of demons, they fled from the mountains and forests where they lived and became homeless, but had no place to live, so they could only form a community around the capital city.
At least the capital city is safe.
It is better to keep your eyes closed and not look sideways. As soon as he arrived in Ye City, the Lord of Ye City got the news and came to greet Ning Mingmei in person.
"It is a great honor for our city that Immortal Ning has come to visit us!"
The city seemed relatively peaceful, but the tense atmosphere lingered over everyone's heads and could not be shaken off.
Ning Mingmei took this opportunity to have a friendly exchange with the Lord of Ye City regarding Lao Shiba's study problems. After three rounds of drinks, Ning Mingmei said, "Old Eighteen has always wanted to make some contribution to the human world after graduation. A few days ago, I heard him asking about being sent back to the human world."
This was originally a funny thing, but the Lord of Ye City reacted strongly: "Don't listen to his nonsense. How can this kid know what is good and what is bad? I will write him a letter and ask him to stop talking about returning to the human world!"
The human world is not peaceful nowadays. Obviously, although the Lord of Ye City wanted to protect his children, he was powerless. All he could do was to give gifts and chat with Ning Mingmei, his child's master, and earnestly persuade his child to stay in the temporarily safe fairyland.
Ning Mingmei just drank a glass of wine. Before going to sleep, he said to Lian Chengyue: "Old Eighteen is very lucky."
Lian Chengyue was originally cleaning the room for Ning Mingmei. Hearing this, he said, "Immortal Venerable, Senior Brother Eighteen has a family and a father, so he can be visited at home. But I don't have a mother or a father, so I can't be visited at home."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Lian Chengyue: "Xian Zun, I am very unfortunate. I only have Xian Zun."
This is difficult to comment on. In order to comfort him, Ning Mingmei commented: "Didn't I just visit the family site of the massacred family in your village?"
There's just no one there.
Lian Chengyue insisted: "Immortal Lord, I also want my family to have a good chat with you. Since I have no family, it's okay for me to have a good chat with you."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Forget it, just shut up.
Ning Mingmei only rested for a while in Yetu, took the supplies from the other party and set off for Yaochuan City. When setting out, Ning Mingmei saw that the Lord of Ye City was worried. The Lord of Ye City said, "My Immortal Lord, Yaochuan City is not peaceful right now."
"When has Yaochuan City ever been peaceful?"
The Lord of Ye City shook his head and said, "It is especially uneasy now. You will know when you go there."
Ning Mingmei just smiled and said lightly: "I thought I was asked to pay back 8 million. As for the disaster victims outside the city, if the city lord has a chance..."
"I can't control it!" The city lord shook his head. "I controlled the first group, and word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Then everyone from the surrounding villages flocked here. I can control a few groups of people, but can I control everyone?"
Ning Mingmei stopped talking.
It was not until he arrived at Yaochuan City that Ning Mingmei realized that the Lord of Ye City was not shirking his responsibility. If the level of chaos outside Yedu is 1, then the level of chaos outside Yaochuan City is 10. The good news is that it becomes very easy for Gui Ruoxue and others to hide in the huge crowd. The bad news is that even Ning Mingmei can't find them.
Fortunately, everyone had agreed on a way to connect beforehand. Ning Mingmei left a secret signal and returned to his place leisurely like an old man taking a walk, and inquired for news by the way.
This actually gave Ning Mingmei some new information. Jiang Duo was seriously injured, causing the demon clan's surprise attack on the monster clan to be defeated. Mu Hanshan and Duan Ying, who were nearby, had already caught up with them.
