Chapter 294 The Brave One Moves Forward
"Ning Mingmei, you are really smart."
The white robe fluttered, and the face of a middle-aged man flashed and appeared. The person who appeared in front of Ning Mingmei was Elder Guanlan, a subordinate of Master Wufang.
Ning Mingmei had some impression of Elder Guanlan. Because he always showed fear and dread towards Ning Mingmei's group. But at this moment, the fear on his face disappeared, and was replaced by arrogance.
He looked down at Ning Mingmei and uttered a few words from his thin lips: "No, I should call you... Yuanzhi. I never thought that the famous Peak Master Ning of Piaomiao Peak is just a toy cauldron."
"One is you, and the other is Qi Miancheng. The two top figures of Qingji Sect actually have such a dirty business behind the scenes."
What Elder Guanlan said is quite wrong. Ning Mingmei has known Qi Miancheng's private vault better than Qi Miancheng himself for many years. Where is the dirty dealings going on? Moreover, the money Ning Mingmei got from Qi Miancheng had been laundered, cleaner than Ning Mingmei's own face.
After noticing the movement around him, Ning Mingmei felt even colder in his heart. It seems that the group of supreme elders that Guanlan belongs to are going to kill him.
Ning Mingmei smiled and said, "Elder Guanlan attacked me like this, aren't you afraid that Master Wuwei and Master Wukong will know?"
Elder Guanlan said: "Wukong recruited Lu Ding and reversed yin and yang. In order to support Qi Miancheng to ascend to the throne, he did not hesitate to use such dirty means, reversed yin and yang, and even went against the grain, causing the current situation. We are taking action now to correct the great way of Qingji Sect!"
Elder Guanlan's expression is truly one of righteousness!
"It is still Elder Guanlan who is righteous. Elder Guanlan's people cannot defeat me in the righteous way, so he came up with the idea of assassinating those who use unorthodox methods." Ning Mingmei quickly figured it out.
The web woven by Ning Mingmei is dense and continuous. Guanlan and his men couldn't think of a way to break through head-on, so they decided to use a trick they had used for thousands of years in fighting - overturning the chessboard.
No matter how strong you are, even if you are Qin Shi Huang, you cannot escape this pillar of mine!
"Hahahaha!" Ning Mingmei suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at you all who claim to be of a noble and righteous origin, but in the end you can't even defeat a furnace tripod, and can only resort to evil ways." Ning Mingmei said, "Isn't this funny?"
The helpers behind Guanlan also appeared one by one. Each of them is a master at fighting against ten thousand enemies at the same time. Among these experts, there are many disciples from blessed places. After hearing Ning Mingmei's words, their faces changed and they were slightly defeated.
However……
“Hahahaha!” Guanlan laughed. “Evil ways? Ning Mingmei, do you know what the right way is in the world of immortal cultivation?”
"The righteous way of the world of immortal cultivation is the law of the jungle." Guan Lan said, "Ning Mingmei, what's the point of you weaving a network? What's the point of making allies? Today, if you are weaker than our side, you will die here!"
"This is the right way! This is the eternal truth of the world of immortal cultivation!"
Ning Mingmei finally stopped talking.
“The right way…” He slowly raised his sword, with the blade level against the side of his face. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and actually laughed.
"Yes, this is the right way in the world," he said.
Now Ning Mingmei has two enemies in front of him. One side comes from the demon world, and it is Shuinong who is already half crazy. On the other side was the Qingji Sect who was supposed to stand behind him.
Behind him, there was only a teleportation array that would take some time to activate, and a half-dead Lin Sang.
At that moment, he seemed to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, with no way to retreat.
"This moment reminds me of Spark Island and Weng Xingyun back then." Ning Mingmei said to herself, "In front of her is the crusader from the world of immortal cultivation, who should have been her friend. Behind her is the betrayer from Spark Island, who she considered a friend. The time traveler who brought new things to the world of immortal cultivation is being attacked from both sides, leaving her with nowhere to retreat. All the voices, all the righteous paths, are calling for her death."
At that moment, he seemed to see something flash brightly. With just one glance, Ning Mingmei understood everything.
——He finally completely and basically understood what the system was.
Even at this moment, Ning Mingmei did not forget his temptation.
"But I am different from Weng Xingyun."
"I have never trusted anyone, never done anything good, never practiced even a little bit of idealism, and never had the slightest thought of wanting to do good for the world. So at this moment, I don't feel betrayed by anyone."
"She and I are totally different."
Ning Mingmei's eyes swept across everyone, and finally, his gaze stopped on Guanlan's face.
"Elder Guanlan, it shouldn't be easy to set up this trap right away. Even if you already knew that I was from Changle Sect, and I happened to be attending an academic exchange meeting at Yanyun Tower at this time. You knew that I would most likely sneak into Changle Sect to destroy my identity evidence, and you knew that I would never make this public, and would never let anyone else do it. You knew that this was the best time to ambush me when I was alone."
"But it's not easy to keep track of my whereabouts and know when I leave."
"There are chess pieces of yours beside me, right?" Ning Mingmei said slowly, "Don't you think so?"
"——Master Jiang Feng."
Guanlan opened his mouth to retort. But he saw that on the other side of the crowd, a woman had lifted her invisibility and walked out from the corner.
She is wearing a red skirt and black hair, and is as beautiful as a painting. She is none other than the leader of Qingxue Peak.
Jiang Ying.
"Didn't I tell you that you didn't have to show up..." Guanlan was a little anxious. Obviously, he had never planned for Jiang Ying's appearance before.
What's more, he hoped that Jiang Ying could pretend that she knew nothing about it and continue to be the master of her Qingxue Peak, and continue to be the partner who could cooperate with Dongtian Fudi in their hearts.
But Jiang Ying didn't even look at him. The woman's peach blossom eyes were only looking at Ning Mingmei, but her red lips were talking to him.
"Elder Guanlan, why hide it? I think, with Master Ning Feng's intelligence, he must have guessed it from the moment you appeared." She said.
"Master Jiang Feng, you are too kind. It took me a while to think about it before I figured it out." Ning Mingmei said.
"You are too modest." Jiang Ying said, "Master Ning, you are actually more powerful than you think. Because you never trust anyone. No matter how open-hearted they are to you, you only trust yourself. If the matter of Changle Gate did not involve you and Master Chang, you would be too concerned... Otherwise, I would not have the confidence to hide it from you."
Ning Mingmei smiled: "So when Master Jiang Feng talked to me about your childhood in the carriage, did that count as Master Jiang Feng's heartfelt talk?"
Jiang Ying always likes to smile. She is born beautiful, and her smile is as bright as a peach or plum, which can easily attract anyone's favor. She knew this and was good at using this smile as a weapon, just as she had told Ning Mingmei - because when she was young, she used her sweet smile as a tool to seize power from her father.
But today, Ning Mingmei was smiling, but Jiang Ying was not.
Instead, she pursed her lips and looked frosty. After a moment, she said to Guanlan, "Elder Guanlan, killing Ning Mingmei is not the best option."
Guanlan suddenly realized something. He said sternly, "Are you going to change your mind suddenly?"
"Women are fickle." Jiang Ying smiled lazily again, "Perhaps True Man Wu Se thinks so too."
Above Guanlan is the Immortal Wufang, and above Jiangying is the Immortal Wuse. From a hierarchical perspective, the two of them were just a hand left here by the two real men. Guan Lan stared at Jiang Ying for a long time and said, "You want to spare his life? However, you want to talk to Ning Mingmei. He may not appreciate it. He has always been cunning. Even if he agrees here, he may not fulfill his promise in other places."
"I have my own way." Jiang Ying said.
The colorless barrier covered Ning Mingmei and Jiang Ying. Therefore, their conversation could not be known to outsiders.
Now they are two voices, one black and one red. Jiang Ying was wearing red, while Ning Mingmei was still wearing black. Ning Mingmei looked at her and thought of another woman in white from Qingji Sect.
Bai Ruoru.
Jiang Ying said that she didn't like Bai Ruoru. From the first time he met the two of them, Ning Mingmei had commented that they were like two sides of a mirror of the Qingji Sect, one was a witch and the other was a saint. What the two pursued were always different things.
Ning Mingmei didn't say anything. He was waiting for Jiang Ying to speak. The woman in red looked at him as if she was seeing him for the first time.
After a long time.
"Ning Mingmei, please withdraw." Jiang Ying said coldly.
What to refund?
Take a step back and the world will be broader? Take a step back and go along with this paradise?
Ning Mingmei did not answer this question.
"I didn't expect that you are also related to the people in Dongtianfudi." he said.
"It's just an old relationship. Is it a favor, or a handle? This is why I came to Qingji Sect in the first place."
Ning Mingmei said: "I didn't expect that Master Jiang Feng would be bound by the past."
Jiang Ying's eyes flickered. Obviously, Ning Mingmei could see that she seemed to be in some pain. After a moment, Jiang Ying said, "It's not entirely because of her."
"oh?"
"I want more than that." Jiang Ying said, "Since I have no choice but to come here, I'll just make the best of it. But I don't want to be inferior to Yin Xisheng all my life. A magic cultivator shouldn't be inferior to a sword cultivator."
"Okay." Ning Mingmei said, "Ambitious, this is the Jiang Ying I know."
Jiang Ying's eyes flickered a few more times. Finally, she said slowly: "You know, I don't want to lose."
"Just like you don't want to lose, I can't retreat either." Ning Mingmei said.
"Just a little bit, you can't retreat?"
"If you give up a little, you'll give up everything. You and I both know that the right way in this world is the law of the jungle."
If someone thinks that the right way in the world is an orderly idealism, it is because there are people in the outside world who resist the law of the jungle.
"I saw you bringing Lin Sang with you." Jiang Ying said, "You said, he broke both legs, why did he still want to escape? Where did he want to escape to? My people also captured Zhen Dong. I thought that such a hypocritical Lu Ding would be easy to control. But she was surprisingly stubborn and refused to give in. You people from Changle Gate...what on earth are you thinking? Obviously, you are just a group of Lu Dings who were trapped in a small space since birth..."
"It seems that you have a lot of plans. I guess Shuinong was also brought here by Lord Jiang Feng? Lord Jiang Feng wants to use her to scare me away." Ning Mingmei said, "After all, Guanlan doesn't need to do this. All he wants is for me to die. In this case, I am relieved."
Jiang Ying's expression suddenly changed. She said sternly: "What are you worried about?"
Ning Mingmei asked, "What did Master Jiang Feng learn from Shuinong?"
This is clearly a bomb-like evidence of Ning Mingmei's personal background. But Jiang Ying pursed her lips and said nothing. Ning Mingmei asked: "Master Jiang Feng, do you know why Lin Sang is fearless and why he dares to run to the black pool?"
"Because he wants nothing but freedom. So people like them, seemingly retreating, are actually running away." Ning Mingmei said, "So, I helped Lin Sang escape. Many people are willing to help people like Lin Sang escape. They run away, flying up desperately, but in fact they already know in their hearts that they are destined to die. They already know that they will hit their heads and bleed on this green glass that looks like the sky, and eventually die..."
"Everyone knew about their tragic and beautiful escape. Everyone knew they would die. So, they allowed him to escape."
"And you?" Jiang Ying said.
Ning Mingmei looked at her calmly.
"And the brave man will move forward courageously. That is why people fear him."
“What if there is no way forward?”
The author has something to say:
Escape is praised because it has no future.
The brave are feared because they are fearless.
