Chapter 96: Big Bet
Qi Miancheng's advancement to the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm was a great joyous event, even publishing an article in Nature could not compare to it. Therefore, the Qingji Sect was alarmed inside and out, and there were people inside and outside the Tiantai Peak.
Tiantai Peak was hung with purple flags with the Qingji Sect’s emblem, fluttering in the wind. Ning Mingmei was actually the last one to arrive among this group of people.
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
"The master has reached the state of refining emptiness in just over 400 years. This is truly unprecedented!"
Another old man sighed and said, "Now that Wuwei Divine Man knows that the Sect Master is already in the Void Refining Stage, he should be completely relieved."
In this world, those who have achieved spiritual transformation are called immortals, those who have achieved great spiritual perfection are called saints, those who have refined the void are called supreme men, those who have combined the bodies are called true men, those who have achieved Mahayana are called gods, and those who have transcended tribulations are called celestial beings.
Only when the celestial beings cross the tribulation period and ascend to the heavenly gate can they become true immortals and true gods.
However, the Heavenly Gate has collapsed, the spiritual energy in the lower world is thin, and no one has cultivated to the tribulation period for a long time.
The Tribulation Period is a state with the highest energy and therefore the most unstable. Everything is ready, only waiting for the opportunity and the final heavenly tribulation. After that, when the time comes for a cultivator, the only way left is to ascend; if one wants to ascend, one must pass through the Heavenly Gate.
——But the Tianmen Gate had been sealed due to three collapses.
After Tianmen was sealed, there were several cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage scattered across the world. The whereabouts of the monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage are unknown, which makes people even more anxious - they want to know how these powerful monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the last hope of the monks, will ascend?
Is it still possible to ascend? Can we pass through the Heavenly Gate?
But in the end, no one knew their final whereabouts.
Ning Mingmei and others' master, Wuwei, had already broken through to the Mahayana stage when he stepped down as the head of Qingji Sect. It's just that these disciples still call him "Master" out of habit.
Above Mahayana is overcoming tribulations. After entering the Mahayana stage, Wuwei Zhenren went into seclusion in a blessed place and never appeared again.
"Come to think of it, we almost forgot about it!" Several elderly elders clapped their hands, "We have to tell Wuwei the Divine Man about this!"
Let Qi Miancheng send a copy to the Dongtian Fudi Business Group when sending the "Leader's Promotion Notice" to the group, right?
Qi Miancheng smiled and said, "Master's cave is not far from Uncle Wukong's cave. He has been notified and has sent someone to send a gift."
That was indeed a shocking announcement.
The hall was bustling with activity. Ning Mingmei didn't say much.
As we all know, when everyone is talking nonsense, saying a few more words to agree with everyone will not help you achieve the goal of strengthening social relationships.
Ning Mingmei then started talking to several hall masters around him. These hall masters were all from the Qingji Sect's bench department. They were all standing at the edge, laughing and clapping mechanically along with the crowd.
This gave Ning Mingmei the opportunity to socialize with them.
In just half an hour, Ning Mingmei had fully exchanged views with the head of the Mingwu Hall who was in charge of the Qingji Sect's wooden stakes, the head of the Jing Hall who was in charge of cleaning, and the head of the Baoan Hall who was in charge of patrols. In the last few minutes, he spoke to the head of Sikong Hall.
"Sword-wielding Elder." A few days passed, and the old man, the head of Sikong Hall, had his eye sockets darker. It was hard not to feel that he had given in-depth thought to Ning Mingmei's new administrative building plan.
Ning Mingmei: "Well, how has the Hall Master been these days?"
The call from Party A is so warm that it makes people feel cold all over. Old man Sikongtang said, "Yes, I am doing it."
Ning Mingmei: "Haha, why are you so polite, Master? I didn't mean to rush the progress, I just wanted to care about your health."
Sikong Hall Master: “…Hehe.”
I'd be foolish to believe you.
"...But these days, a very capable female outer disciple came to Sikong Hall. With her here, all of us feel a lot more relaxed!"
When talking about the new disciple, the head of Sikong Hall was full of praise. Ning Mingmei asked, "Are you really that capable?"
"The rest of the people in Sikong Hall combined are not even one-tenth as good as her." The head of Sikong Hall stroked his long beard, "I have made an exception for her, so that she does not have to go through the inner disciple selection at the end of the year and can directly become an inner disciple."
Ning Mingmei: "The hall master is really generous."
Everyone knows that Sikong Hall is not a good place in the inner gate. If the reason why this female disciple entered Sikong Hall was to enter the inner sect, then in a few days...
The head of Sikong Hall saw what he was thinking: "No, no, no, she is different from others."
?
"She is very passionate about civil engineering and architecture!" said the head of Sikong Hall, "and she has a good impression of Piaomiao Peak. In a few days, I will take her and the administrative building plan to Piaomiao Peak, and then Peak Master Ning will be able to see her."
Ning Mingmei was thinking about this strange man. Qi Miancheng's voice was heard from the crowd, saying that he was tired today and everyone could go back first.
Then all the people who came to congratulate went out again. Ning Mingmei stayed where he was.
As a direct junior fellow apprentice, I have to greet him in person.
However, although Ning Mingmei had no intention of leaving, a disciple from Tiantai Peak still found him and asked him to go to the inner room to talk.
It seems that Master Qi also has something to say.
The crowds have gone away. There were only a few people in the inner room.
It is exactly Qingji Sect F5 plus Ning Mingmei.
Xiang Wuxing and Bai Ruoru looked very happy. Yin Xisheng and Fang Wuyu were left, their faces looking different, black and white.
There was a kind of beauty on Yin Xisheng's face that was defeated by rumors. Obviously, the rumors between him and Hu Zi in the past few days were too much for him to bear.
Moreover, Ning Mingmei could read some depression on his face.
Qi Miancheng is now in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, and he just entered the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm not long ago. The gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.
As for Fang Wu Yu, his face was also filled with dark energy.
Fang Wu Yu has always respected Master Wuwei, was grateful to Qi Miancheng, and had sympathy for Bai Ruoru, Xiang Wuxing and Yin Xisheng. However, he had a deep love for Qingji Sect and Fang Dynasty.
Qi Miancheng ascended to heaven and was good to Qingji Sect and his emotions.
However, Ning Mingmei’s role in the incident was getting increasingly serious, which made him very worried.
During the Demon Concubine Rebellion, Fang Wu Yu, as a child, witnessed all the disasters. Therefore, Fang Wu Yu had not been very supportive of his master bringing back a furnace for Qi Miancheng.
But Master and Uncle were firm in their attitude towards this. Fang Wu Yu himself couldn't do anything about it.
But when he saw Ning Mingmei's face for the first time, he felt a dislike for him for no reason.
Plus, Fang Wuyu originally hated furnaces and cauldrons.
Moreover, the Qingji Sect is extremely important to him. He also consciously avoided any contact with Ning Mingmei to avoid developing feelings of fellow disciple, and when Ning Mingmei caused trouble, it would be even more difficult to take action.
What comforted him was that his respected senior brother Qi Miancheng had never touched Ning Mingmei. Fang Wu Yu guessed that this was due to Qi Miancheng's noble virtue of self-discipline and restoration of propriety, and therefore he respected and loved him even more.
But who would have thought that after Ning Mingmei came out of confinement, their relationship would become closer and closer. Such outrageous rumors have been circulating within the sect in the past two days.
And Ning Mingmei is different now... Although Fang Wuyu doesn't know what Ning Mingmei wants to do, he vaguely feels that Ning Mingmei must be hiding evil intentions under those glasses.
He must be planning on making something big.
"Please sit down, fellow disciples." Qi Miancheng said, "My injury is not healed yet, so I will just say a few words to you first."
Everyone sat down, only Fang Wuyu stared at Ning Mingmei.
…Then I saw Ning Mingmei asking someone for a few cushions and a cup of hot tea.
?
Isn't it just a few simple words?
The principal's few simple words really reminded the six people of their childhood and their hard work today. It's like drinking the water and remembering its source, pursuing dreams as a horse, striving for self-improvement, and never forgetting their original aspirations.
While Fang Wu Yu's eyes were filled with tears as he listened, he also felt that he had been sitting on this wooden chair for too long and it was a bit uncomfortable.
Moreover, Qi Miancheng originally wanted to just say a few words, so he did not close the door. Tiantai Peak is at a high latitude, and strong winds blow into the inner room.
Looking at Ning Mingmei next to him, he was not only nestling comfortably on the mat, but also drinking hot tea... This tea was the one he had obtained from the human world before, and he gave a portion to each of the leader and several other people.
...So why is Ning Mingmei so skilled!
How on earth do you know this conversation won't be over any time soon?
Only Yin Xisheng looked pale after hearing this, as he had just recovered from a serious illness and had been sitting here for too long, and his condition was getting worse. Ning Mingmei looked at him, suspecting that Qi Miancheng was relying on the principal's speech to eliminate his competitor.
Finally, Qi Miancheng finished speaking. Bai Ruoru and Xiang Wuxing's faces were already covered in tears, and even Fang Wuyu's eyes were filled with tears. Although Yin Xisheng was jealous in his heart, he was also very touched at this moment, and his eyes were red.
Qi Miancheng: "That's about it for today. I'm not feeling well. Junior Brother Xiang, please come to my place tomorrow and we can talk about the affairs of the demon world."
Xiang Wuxing said: "Okay!"
Qi Miancheng: "Also, Junior Brother Ning, please stay for a while."
Qingji Sect F4 left. Bai Ruoru and Xiang Wuxing each pressed Ning Mingmei's shoulders to show their comfort and encouragement. Yin Xisheng didn't have the energy to press or say dirty words to Ning Mingmei - as soon as he left the house, he was carried back by the disciples of Yuting Peak to receive oxygen.
Only Fang Wuyu was hesitant to leave. When he stood outside the door, he turned back and glanced at Ning Mingmei.
Ning Mingmei twitched his eyebrows.
Oh no.
"Junior Brother Mingmei." Qi Miancheng's voice came from behind, "Come and sit next to me."
Ning Mingmei sat over and raised his hand lightly, saying, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on your promotion."
Qi Miancheng looked at him with a smile: "Besides this, do you have anything else you want to say or ask?"
Ning Mingmei: "The good news of promotion spreads to my ears, and the warm blessings convey friendship."
Qi Miancheng: ...
Ning Mingmei: "Brother, you have a bright future ahead of you. You will be promoted step by step and know everything."
Qi Miancheng: ...
Ning Mingmei: "Brother's promotion is a small step for him, but it is also a big step for Qingji Sect. Brother's promotion is inseparable from his positive progress and his original intention. I wish you promotion every day and good luck. In this regard, I would like to compose a poem..."
Qi Miancheng withdrew his hand that was about to fall on the back of Ning Mingmei's hand.
Ning Mingmei's expression remained unchanged. Qi Miancheng looked at him, and after a while he recovered, he sighed and said, "Junior brother, I woke up too late, and you were wronged."
Qi Miancheng has a special ability to bring things back to their original point.
Ning Mingmei: "It is normal for young people to suffer when they first enter the workplace. A sword is sharpened by grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. What my uncle gave me is an opportunity to gain experience, a blessing, and a driving force for growth. Young people grow up in hardships. How can you see the rainbow without going through wind and rain? No one can succeed easily. Seize every minute of your life and embrace your dear friends warmly."
As he said that, he actually reached out his hands expressionlessly and hugged Qi Miancheng.
...Although it was very quick, it was taken back very quickly.
Qi Miancheng stiffened for a moment when he was hugged by him. But after Ning Mingmei withdrew his hand, he lowered his eyes for a moment, and there was unexpectedly a hint of profoundness in his expression.
"I heard from Junior Brother Xiang about what happened that day. Senior Uncle Wukong was very aggressive, but Junior Brother was not afraid in the face of danger and did not give in at all."
"When I am different from the world, then let me be different. For me, persistence means overcoming difficulties with strength." Ning Mingmei said.
Qi Miancheng stared at him and suddenly smiled.
"Now that I'm awake, there's no point in letting you suffer any more injustice." He said, "You can do whatever you want."
"It's okay, Brother. During this period of time, I will probably stay in Qingji Sect." Ning Mingmei said without blinking, "This is all to avoid embarrassing you."
This is of course for my administration building construction project.
Who doesn’t keep an eye on their decoration team while they are doing the renovation?
Qi Miancheng said, "That's perfect. I will also stay in Qingji Sect during this period of time. Actually, there is one thing I haven't told the other junior brothers and sisters. This promotion is very exhausting, my realm is still unstable, and I have injuries in my body... Uh, I will let my junior brothers see my vulnerable side again."
As he spoke, blood flowed from the corner of Qi Miancheng's mouth again.
...The neurosis is back again.
Ning Mingmei: "...Senior brother is dedicated to his duties and is truly a role model for our generation."
After saying this, Qi Miancheng was already a little exhausted. He leaned against the bench, and Ning Mingmei stood up and left.
The moment he turned around, Qi Miancheng suddenly said, "Junior brother."
"Um?"
"No need to turn around." Qi Miancheng said, "What happened to Master Wukong the other day did remind me of something..."
"If one day, I suddenly die due to something... or fall into a coma, the position of the head will remain vacant for a long time."
"How about leaving this position to you?"
Ning Mingmei didn't look back.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" he said, "Brother, please stay healthy and live a long life. With you as the head of the sect, I can be more confident in my position as the sword-wielding elder."
After a while, Qi Miancheng's voice came from behind.
"Junior brother is really good at talking."
It was evening outside the courtyard. The white plum blossoms in Qi Miancheng's courtyard have faded, and now the trees that are blooming brightly are actually the Albizia Julibrissin.
"If I remember correctly, the Albizia Julibrissin is also known as the ghost tree."
The pollen of the Albizia Julibrissin is poisonous.
The moment he walked out of the courtyard, Ning Mingmei suddenly had a strange feeling.
Qi Miancheng told him not to turn around because he wanted to see his back, or maybe...
Not seeing his physical form allows him to be closer to his soul itself.
"Ning Ming Mei."
This voice did not come from Qi Miancheng, but from Fang Wuyu.
Ning Mingmei: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Fang to be waiting for me here. Are you going to take me back to Piaomiao Peak?"
Fang Wu Yu's proud face suddenly became as stinky as the bottom of a black pot.
"What did you and the Sect Master do in Liuyue Lake?" Fang Wuyu stared at him. "Why did the Sect Master fall ill as soon as he returned?"
Ning Mingmei said nothing about this. Fang Wu Yu sneered again, "Now everyone in Qingji Sect says that your temperament has changed a lot since you came out of seclusion. Piao Miao Peak is no longer the same as before. Although those are just some strange tricks. But I can see that you have some plans now compared to before."
"Ning Mingmei. Don't even think about threatening Qingji Sect." Fang Wuyu said, "Sooner or later I will know what you want to do and how to do it. If you want... just try it."
Ning Mingmei asked, "Brother Fang, are you targeting me because you are standing on the side of the Lord of Baiyun Peak, the side of the Fang family, the royal family of the human world, or your own side?"
Facing Ning Mingmei's question, Fang Wuyu said, "Is there any difference?"
Ning Mingmei was calm and composed: "Senior Brother Fang's behavior makes me think that Senior Brother Fang has been in love with Senior Brother Qi for a long time, but he is in Kongtong and dare not speak up. Therefore, he makes things difficult for me, who is the furnace cauldron and can naturally get close to Senior Brother Qi."
Fang Wuyu: ...
Fang Wuyu: …………
"What are you talking about?!"
Fang Wu Yu's defense was broken for a moment.
Fang Wu Yu certainly didn't envy Qi Miancheng, but this association was so disgusting and insulting to him that Fang Wu Yu lost his composure for a moment. Ning Mingmei said, "Brother Fang, you don't want Brother Qi to know that you are in love with him, right? How will he view you as his junior brother then?"
Fang Wuyu: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Ning Mingmei not only talked nonsense, but also turned this into a new round of "You don't want to...right?" Fang Wu Yu was stunned for a moment.
"I don't like men!" He gritted his teeth, and after a while he said angrily, "Never mind, that's all you can do."
"I have more abilities than you think, brother." Ning Mingmei said, "Brother, do you want to experience it?"
As he spoke, his eyes from behind his glasses looked sideways at Fang Wuyu. Due to the reflection of the lenses, his long and curled eyelashes actually looked like they were covered with dewdrops.
The corners of the eyes are raised, like a slanting stroke drawn with ink, outlining the spring scenery.
Sharp but beautiful, with a hint of sarcasm like a knife, and like a red plum blossom in the snow.
Fang Wu Yu was actually stunned.
"...You, what vulgar words are you saying here!" Fang Wuyu then took a few steps back in shock, "You! You! You are so brave!"
If we say that Fang Wuyu was very cold and arrogant when he questioned Ning Mingmei just now. At this moment, Fang Wuyu's neck even turned red.
Ning Mingmei: ...
His eyes were half closed.
What kind of world of cultivating immortals is this? Why is everyone thinking about all kinds of messed up things?
"I'm talking about the competition between Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower." Ning Mingmei said, "Senior Brother Fang was just thinking..."
As he spoke, he pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed an extremely sarcastic smile.
It was very malicious, like pulling out a thick dash.
Fang Wu Yu's self-esteem was broken by this hooked smile. He shook his shoulders, and for a while, a look of humiliation and anger flashed across his face.
"That's right." He regained his arrogance. "The competition is coming soon. I want to see what use all those tricks of yours are. The strength of the disciples is the only real thing."
Ning Mingmei: "Is that so. These days, the disciples of Yanyun Tower are all living in Baiyun Peak. Senior Brother Fang should know them quite well. Baiyun Peak is also the second highest peak of Qingji. I think Senior Brother Fang is sure to win."
Fang Wuyu said coldly: "In seven days, there will be a competition at the Qingji Sect's Yanyun Tower. We'll see then."
Let's wait and see.
When the time comes, I will tear off your current arrogance and trample it to the ground.
"Brother Fang, if you want to see it, I'm not willing to let you see it for free." Ning Mingmei said, and suddenly paused, "Brother Fang, do you dare to make a bet? The kind with stakes?"
The author has something to say:
