Chapter 264 Added a new chapter
The Mu Hanshan mentioned by others sounded much more unfamiliar. Duan Ying is a very ruthless person on the battlefield, but Mu Hanshan is a reckless person on the battlefield. Ning Mingmei listened to the people around him talking about the two people, and he was not sure whether Mu Hanshan remembered the past or not.
If you don't remember the past, why is your mental state so unhealthy? If he remembers the past, why is he so desperate? Doesn't he look forward to the day when they meet again? Or, was he subconsciously expecting someone to show up and stop him?
But this has nothing to do with Ning Mingmei today.
Only Lian Chengyue noticed Ning Mingmei's action. With his full social skills, he had already found out about Mu Hanshan and Chang Feichang's past from the few words spoken by the people of Qingji Sect. When he served Ning Mingmei white fungus soup in the evening, he pretended to say casually: "Immortal Venerable, I heard that for Senior Brother Mu, he had a very important person. To him, that person was the Master."
Ning Mingmei took a sip of the Tremella soup and raised his eyelids a little to look at him.
I always feel that Lian Chengyue has no good intention in saying this. Lian Chengyue asked again: "Is Mu Hanshan equally important to that person?"
Ning Mingmei: “Maybe.”
Lian Chengyue said: "So, Immortal Venerable, do all the masters and disciples of Qingji Sect have such a relationship?"
...the real purpose is revealed. Ning Mingmei placed the bowl of Tremella Soup on Lian Chengyue's head and said with a fake smile: "What do you think?"
Lian Chengyue: "Immortal Lord, I really want to know."
Ning Mingmei: "The feelings of a doctoral supervisor towards his first student are very different."
After saying that, Ning Mingmei threw Lian Chengyue out of the room.
Lian Chengyue sat on the steps, feeling melancholy. Soon, Shi Ruzhuo's weak voice came into his mind: "Look at what a bear you are."
The DDOS attack on Jiang Duo also dealt a heavy blow to Shi Ruzhuo. Shi Ruzhuo is like a programmer who has been on call 24 hours a day for seven consecutive days. He has been sleeping in Lian Chengyue's mind until now, using up all his annual leave. At this moment, Jianshi Ruzhuo's Teams icon lit up again, and Lian Chengyue was very happy that she could share her insights with him.
Lian Chengyue said: "Senior, if I disappear in the future, at least Immortal Ning will know."
Shi Ruzhuo said, "You not only didn't go to the group meeting today, but you also didn't reply to emails or submit your research report. Do you know that?"
Lian Chengyue said: "Ning Xianzun said that he only cares about his disciples. But I believe that as long as I become Ning Xianzun's disciple, Ning Xianzun will also care about me."
Shi Ruzhuo said: "The kind of care that cares about whether you can graduate on time?"
Lian Chengyue continued, "I feel that the relationship between Immortal Ning and I is very healthy, strong, and sustainable. If Immortal Ning disappears, I won't go crazy. I will just light up countless street lamps and hoist the beacon to illuminate Immortal Ning's way home."
Shi Ruzhuo: ...
Lian Chengyue: "I won't abuse myself. I will just work harder, stay up all night, integrate resources, let Ning Xianzun see my value, and come back to me."
Shi Ruzhuo: "Isn't the situation you described considered abuse?"
Shi Ruzhuo's three consecutive questions shocked Lian Chengyue's heart. He looked at the starry sky and told himself that it was not enough now.
He doesn't want to be just a tool who can provide research reports to Immortal Ning, he also wants to be a proactive person who can provide sufficient resources for Immortal Ning's laboratory.
For example, becoming the Demon Lord.
…
Ning Mingmei waited in Yaochuan City until the fifth day.
Waiting is boring. But in this boredom, there is always some fun - watching Lian Chengyue running around and developing his own power in Yaochuan City.
Yaochuan City is chaotic, but it is also the best place to make a name for yourself. No wonder Lian Chengyue would be attracted to it. Ning Mingmei observed Lian Chengyue acting under an alias and came to the conclusion that Lian Chengyue wanted to become the Demon Lord.
Lian Chengyue didn't want to be the Demon Lord early or late, but this idea just happened to come to his mind at this moment. It seems that it must be the encounter with Jiang Duo that aroused Lian Chengyue's ambition. Ning Mingmei made such a judgment.
In sharp contrast to Lianchengyue is Wuyu. Wu Yu has remained silent these past few days. He sat in the corner, looking at the snow-white wall for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.
Finally, a small note from Gui Ruoxue appeared.
After seeing where everyone was hiding, Ning Mingmei was slightly surprised. But soon, he put away the note and said to Wu Yu: "Let's go."
Wu Yu finally raised his eyes. There was a gloom in his eyes, as well as an indescribable emotion: "Immortal Ning, I..."
Ning Mingmei: "I didn't ask for your opinion."
Wu Yu: "...but I have no face now..."
Ning Mingmei: "I have a Teletubbies jacket in my Qiankun bag. You can use it if you need it."
This Teletubbies jacket was confiscated by Ning Mingmei from his subordinate Lao Sanwu. Lao Sanwu decided to apply for a research fund for himself. He chose Gundam, the most popular hot topic in recent years, and set the theme as the structural improvement of Gundam based on machine learning. Such a theme with stacked buffs naturally provided a research fund for the thirty-fifth review. After slacking off for a year, seeing that the project was about to be delivered, Lao Sanwu voted through a questionnaire and concluded that "Teletubbies" was the most suitable paint coat for the Gundam, and bought a set of Teletubbies leather suits that could be worn by the Gundam. Then, he dressed the Gundam in the laboratory in a Teletubbies suit, and argued from the perspectives of "concealment", "mobility", "sociology" and "psychology" why the Teletubbies suit could enhance the practicality of the Gundam, produced a paper, and did some useless machine learning.
This act of defrauding funds was naturally severely punished by Ning Mingmei. Now the Thirty-fifth Brother is responsible for cleaning the toilets of the entire Qingji Sect to serve as a warning to others. And this Teletubbies jacket was also confiscated by Ning Mingmei.
Ning Mingmei: "Are you going to leave by yourself or are you being pushed away by me in your Teletubbies jacket?"
Wu Yu: ...
"Go meet him." Ning Mingmei said, "Maybe he wants to see you too."
"After all, in this world a thousand years later, you two are the only ones living in the past timeline."
There are spies everywhere in Yaochuan City. The three of them dressed up in disguise and went to a place no one expected.
The largest pawnshop in Yaochuan City - Wujianjian.
The war made normal city-states like Yedu desolate, but made special areas like Yaochuan City chaotic and prosperous. People from all walks of life come and go, hoping to trade here and get what they want most. In troubled times when everyone wants to give up their precious things for a chance of survival, pawnshops are the most popular places.
After Ning Mingmei gave the pawnshop clerk a secret code, he was led to the secret backyard. Behind the screen, a woman in a long robe was already sitting there, smoking a pipe, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
Crossing the screen, Ning Mingmei saw her slender eyebrows, slightly weathered but very charming appearance, and slightly cold expression.
May Frost.
The boss of Wujian, an important member of the brothel/rebirth group, a member of the mob, the largest information dealer in Yaochuan City, and Chang Feichang's childhood sweetheart.
"Boss Liu, how are you?" Ning Mingmei smiled at her.
May Frost also smiled. She asked Ning Mingmei to sit down. "I didn't expect that Mei Xianzun had such a good memory. I remember Mei Xianzun very well. After all, Mei Xianzun took away a full eight million from Wangsheng, as well as their most beloved eldest daughter. Of course, I am not here to ask Ning Xianzun for an explanation. Wangsheng's business and Wujian's business are independent of each other."
"I'm glad that Boss Liu thinks so," Ning Mingmei said, "but I didn't expect that they would end up here with Boss Liu."
"You guys are crippled, injured, and a few are going crazy. They thought their actions were very covert, but in fact, they were already being watched by several people when they first entered Yaochuan City." Liu Shuang exhaled a long puff of smoke, "There are more than a dozen forces with spies in Yaochuan City. Now the Sky Fox Clan is looking for them, the Demon Realm is looking for them, the Demon Fox Clan is looking for them, and some mysterious forces are also looking for them-"
Ning Mingmei said: "Then we should thank Boss Liu for protecting them."
"They came with you." Liu Shuang suddenly turned to Ning Mingmei, "I promised him that if anything happened to you, I would take care of you. That's why I took them in."
“…”
It is obvious who this "he" is. Ning Mingmei said: "So, you are not talking to us on behalf of the mob?"
“The mob doesn’t even know they’re here,” said Mayflower.
This sentence makes people very alert. Like some kind of handle, or some kind of hint.
"That's a huge sacrifice." Ning Mingmei said, "Is it just because of his request? Or is it because we have something to discuss about cooperation?"
"No." Liu Shuang suddenly said, "Because I also want to see what his real blood brother looks like."
here we go again.
This was another emotion that Ning Mingmei was not good at dealing with. Such childish and impulsive emotions could actually appear in a woman like Liu Shuang who has experienced so much. Ning Mingmei said nothing more. He heard Liu Shuang say, "He and I have been 'brother and sister' for hundreds of years, but we are not related by blood. So, I want to see what his real brother looks like."
"What do you think?"
"Not really. Their eyes, expressions, and personalities are not very similar." Liu Shuang said, "But helping you makes me feel better than helping another person. That person is his apprentice, and obviously has no blood relationship with him. She is not his sister, not his brother, and not his childhood sweetheart, but he asked me to take care of him - this really makes me angry."
“…”
"I often wonder why he is always like this. It's as if after being with a person for decades, he has completely tied this person to himself? Responsibilities are like sandbags, tied to him one by one. He seems to enjoy it." Liu Shuang bit her pipe with her teeth. "Has Chang Feichang ever told you that I am actually younger than him?"
Ning Mingmei said: "I know."
"He has always been taller than me. When I was little, there was a willow tree in front of my house. Every year during the spring equinox, my mother would take us to the tree and use a knife to cut a line on it. His line was always taller than mine. I would then make a scene. He is not a very talkative person, but every time I made a scene, he would roast a sweet potato for me and tell me that by next year, I would be as tall as his horizontal line."
"So I grew and grew, but every year, he would grow taller. It seemed like every year I was just chasing a line that belonged to him. He was always very smart, whether it was practicing or growing taller, as if he didn't belong to this family. Later, something happened at home, and there were only two of us left... But at this time, I began to know that he was not my brother." Liu Shuang said softly, "At this time, he told me that in Yaochuan City in the south, there were flowers, grass, and acquaintances from my family. At first, he said we could take a car to go there. Later, we found out that we were deceived, so we could only walk there. In fact, I was very scared every night, and I would hold his hand to sleep. Chang Feichang thought that I was just afraid that those who killed my mother would come to hunt us down again. In fact, I was afraid that when I woke up, he would leave."
"Anyway, we're not real siblings."
"Later, we arrived at Yaochuan City. He was indeed very powerful. In less than two hundred years, he had already formed a fetus. He found me all the natural treasures he could find, and even delayed his own cultivation. However, no matter how hard I tried, I was still only in the foundation-building stage. Only when a cultivator reaches the late Jindan stage can his appearance be fixed and no longer grow. So I was finally taller than him, but I was also older. He was still a teenager, but I aged little by little, from a girl, to over 20 years old, and then to 30 years old... I told him that now I don't look like your sister, nor like your childhood sweetheart. Do you know what he said to me?"
Ning Mingmei said: "I don't know."
"He said that old age is still beautiful." Liu Shuang finally smiled, but there were tears in her smile. "...You know what? I actually hate his apprentice. Sometimes I always feel that the years I spent with Chang Feichang were stolen from me."
Ning Mingmei: "..."
"But I am very happy to know that he has a family. In the past, we only had the mob. But now, we have a family again." Liu Shuang said, "Ning Mingmei, I don't know if you will believe it, but I am really happy. I am also really happy to see you now. I know that the mob is also looking for you, I don't know the reason. But because of this, I will not let them know about you."
The light in the room was dim. Ning Mingmei stared at the tall cabinet behind Liu Shuang that seemed to have no end. He fell silent.
He had an urge to tell the truth. But this impulse was very subtle and could not reduce Ning Mingmei's rational judgment. He then said, "Thank you."
"This is what I should do." Liu Shuang said, "I'll take you to see them. One of your people is in a strange state. Fortunately, I happen to have something that can suppress his changes. Now, it has been used on him. Consider it a gift from me to you."
The debt on my shoulders seems to be a heavy burden. Ning Mingmei said: "Thank you."
This confusing account is getting bigger and bigger. Ning Mingmei suddenly began to feel a little irritated. He thought about the origin of his journey, which was because of the curse on Bai Ruoru. This curse should have had nothing to do with him, but it happened to involve this journey, the Sky Fox Clan, the genocide of the Demon Fox Clan, the attacking Demon Clan, and the mob, and finally, it involved Liu Shuang and Chang Feichang - two people who had not appeared in his world for a long time.
There is also Lingshui Village and that "Minglong" - why on earth should he be dragged into so many things?
None of this would have happened if we hadn't been involved in this mess. He should have continued to lie in his academic tower, doing some academic work and making some money. But now Liu Shuang's words made him feel like a thorn in his back, very uncomfortable - even his forehead began to hurt.
Wait……
Ning Mingmei suddenly realized, could this be the madness that the sword bone will bring after breaking through the Void Refining Stage?
But that nauseous feeling still came over me, and the more I looked at Liu Shuang's back, the more uncomfortable I felt. Just before the door was pushed open, Liu Shuang suddenly said, "You and Chang Feichang are really nothing alike. I wonder if he recognized the wrong person..."
At that moment, Ning Mingmei actually felt as if a stone had fallen from his heart. He looked at her calmly, actually knowing that he could give her a lot at this moment.
But May Frost said the next sentence.
"But I hope... you have to be his brother. You must be his brother." Liu Shuang's eyes suddenly filled with tears. "Otherwise, no one can save him."
"...You think too highly of me." Ning Mingmei said after a moment.
Liu Shuang wiped her tears, and after a moment, she said, "It's not about 'saving'... It's just that we always want to have a home of our own, apart from the mob. As long as it's like this, it's enough."
“…”
After a long time, Ning Mingmei said, "This is too much trouble. I'd better give you the money."
…
"I want a Coke!"
"No...I want Sprite!"
"Change the channel... No, change back..."
“No, no, don’t!”
Hua Puff was so annoyed that she finally threw the things in her hands to the ground: "Which channel should I watch?"
"Can't the screen be split?" Ye Xuefei, wrapped in bandages, pushed her wheelchair coldly and slid past.
Flower Puff thought this was a good idea. She started splitting the screen. Soon after, Bai Bugui's painful voice came from the other side: "No, no! I'm going to become cross-eyed!"
Ye Xuefei: "It's not cross-eyed, it's cross-eyed reverse."
Lao Shiba said worriedly, "Brother, I think you should change to using half of your body instead of half of your body. You see, before your left half of your body wanted to go to the toilet, but your right half of your body wanted to continue playing with your phone. This scene was terrible..."
Gui Ruoxue lay on the hospital bed, covering her ears with her hands, rolling her eyes cautiously, and sipping Sprite. Wu Yun was worried at this moment, and stuffed the rag in his hand into Su Huang's mouth tighter.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard. Bai Bugui tilted his head and raised it: "The takeaway I just ordered is here..."
"Boss." Wu Yun said.
All the depressed people sat up in shock at that moment, as if they were dying. Gui Ruoxue put the Sprite aside, Wu Yun stood at attention, Hua Puff stood at attention, and even Ye Xuefei supported the wheelchair and tried to stand up.
Only Bai Bugui glanced at Ning Mingmei sideways and said, "Are you this guy's master?"
Then, Bai Bugui screamed, "Master, I didn't say that! You know, I don't speak with a Yunnan accent!"
Ning Mingmei pushed the door open, and behind him were Lian Chengyue and two people covered with two pieces of cloth. After Liu Shuang opened the door for him, she stood aside and said, "They are all here."
Ning Mingmei: "Okay."
Liu Shuang: "After arriving in Yaochuan City, Su Huang tried to escape. To be on the safe side, I broke his legs."
The one tied to the bed was Su Huang: “￥……￥@……@……” (Nothing good will happen to you)
Ning Mingmei said: "Thank you for your help. We can do this kind of thing ourselves next time."
Liu Shuang smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Shuang Liu went down. The person with the highest rank present speaks first. Gui Ruoxue said coldly: "You still remember to come back."
Ning Mingmei: “Oh.”
Gui Ruoxue: "Are you injured? Are you poisoned? Are you still alive?"
Wu Yun said, "Boss, you look very pale. Did you lose too much blood?"
Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses to show that his nature had not changed. Soon, he noticed Bai Bugui who was talking nonsense: "What's going on?"
…
"To put it simply, Bai Bugui was almost possessed by someone else, but not completely, so he was only half possessed."
"At the moment, it seems that they are in a state of two heads in one body... one body with two souls."
"It's like sharing a house."
"But I didn't expect that this big demon is quite easy-going..." This is Hua Puff's voice.
Ning Mingmei sat on the edge of the bed and observed Bai Bugui. At this moment, Bai Bugui's eyes were filled with three parts of coldness, two parts of surprise, three parts of fear, and two parts of arrogance. Such a complicated look made Ning Mingmei ask: "Which parts still belong to you now?"
Bai Bugui choked up and said, "Master, I think I'm done."
Ning Mingmei patted his head and decided to reassure him: "It doesn't matter, your house is still your own property, not your and his joint property."
On the other side, Lian Chengyue's expression changed from jealous gloom to a little fear. He said, "Ning Xianzun, is Senior Brother Bai still a person with civil capacity now?"
Ning Mingmei: "Not really. He should be considered mentally ill now."
Lian Chengyue: "Brother Bai and I verbally agreed on the house sale transaction before we set out, and I transferred part of the deposit. Does my action still count now?"
Just because the great demon is reborn, the previous agreement will not be invalid and the deposit will not be recovered.
As soon as his master came back, he was greeted by such a warm scene. Bai Bugui felt like crying but had no tears. Before he opened his mouth, Ning Mingmei said, "First, do a blood test. I'll see how much human substance you have left."
Ning Mingmei went to have a blood test. Considering that Gui Ruoxue was now lying in bed and unable to get up, this task was given to Lian Chengyue. Facing the returning Ning Mingmei, everyone had a lot to say. For example, Ye Xuefei.
Ye Xuefei said: "Xianzun, why are you still alive?"
...This girl really hasn't been able to speak for eight hundred years!
Ning Mingmei briefly explained his cheating. Everyone looked at the lotus lantern in Ning Mingmei's hand and fell into deep thought. At this moment, Bai Bugui, who had been looking at him with a flustered expression, gradually became serious.
"Where did you get this?"
Ning Mingmei looked at Bai Bugui. Bai Bugui quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I said!"
"Have you seen this thing?" Ning Mingmei asked him.
