On the way back to the Great Xia Dynasty, Ning Jie asked Sibu Xiang to fly at full speed, while he was inevitably taught a lesson by Chu Xi with natural facial cleanser as punishment for being alone with Mu Qingxue.
The monk Shaxin pretended to close his eyes, but actually he squinted his eyes. When he saw the exciting parts, he did not forget to recite a few Buddhist mantras.
On his way back, Ning Jie did not dare to delay at all and directly ordered the divine beast Sibu Xiang to rush back as fast as possible.
Three days later, we arrived in the Central Plains.
At this moment, the divine beast Sibu Xiang was almost exhausted and no longer looked like an animal. Ning Jie let it have a good rest.
Walking on the road, Ning Jie clearly felt the change in the atmosphere here.
The usually bustling streets now have few stalls left.
It was like the wind blowing in the building before a storm, or like the calm before the storm. People's anxiety and panic about the impending war continued to spread in the air.
Ning Jie sighed inwardly, the world was becoming more and more chaotic.
The sudden appearance of Wu Jin had already disturbed the world, and now the two major countries were about to start a war again. It seemed that everything was going to be in chaos.
Without any further delay, Ning Jie took Chu Xi and the Shaxin monk and headed straight for the imperial city.
Along the way, many imperial soldiers were collecting military supplies, and complaints were heard wherever they passed.
Compared to the previous life, the only difference is that the Great Xia Dynasty will not forcibly conscript soldiers.
After all, this is the world of cultivating immortals. Using ordinary people as soldiers will have no effect other than increasing sacrifices.
"A great war is imminent. This is an extraordinary period. No outsiders are allowed to enter or leave the Imperial City!"
"Hey! Those guys over there, I'm not talking about you, am I?"
At the city gate, a guard with an arrogant look on his face stopped Ning Jie and others, with a rather unfriendly look in his eyes.
Ning Jie turned his head left and right, then pointed at himself in confusion.
"A stranger? Me?"
"Nonsense! It's not you, it's me?"
The guard looked very impatient and pointed at the armor on his body.
"Do you see this armor? Now that war is approaching, we have been ordered to guard the imperial city. If I say you are not allowed to enter, then you are not allowed to enter!"
"Go away quickly! Don't interfere with my duties!"
Looking at this guard whose face was almost covered with the words "superior", Ning Jie felt a little funny in his heart. He was the Holy Son of Miaoyin Sect, a powerful man in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he was actually taught a lesson by a few small guards.
Nowadays, some people will magnify their power without limit, and even feel superior by being a dog.
"No, Master Jun, we..."
The killer monk wanted to explain, but he didn't expect that the man in front of him would not play by the rules at all.
"No, what's wrong with you? I told you to leave, but you didn't leave. Wait, are you spies sent by Galan to gather military intelligence?"
After hearing this, the killer monk almost vomited blood. This child, if the family has the conditions, they should have another one!
Ning Jie saw this and was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. He waved his hand and said:
"Never mind. Looking down on others is a disease. There's no cure."
Anyway, he had already informed Xia Wanqing in advance using the communication jade talisman, so there was no harm in waiting.
But when the guards heard Ning Jie's words, they were unhappy.
"Stop! Who are you calling a dog? You're insulting the officers of the government. I suspect they're spies! Come, arrest them and take them back for interrogation!"
The guard shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers. Everyone's nerves were very tense during this sensitive period, and they immediately surrounded him.
Seeing this, Ning Jie's expression gradually turned cold, and it was obvious that he was also a little angry.
Upon seeing this, the Shaxin monk suddenly distanced himself from Ning Jie without making any expression.
"Amitabha, I just took advantage of the situation. I'm not acquainted with this spy... oh no, this donor. If you want to arrest him, just arrest him."
"Fuck you, you bald ass!"
Ning Jie glanced at Sha Xin and cursed, a bunch of black lines appearing on his forehead instantly, but at this time the surrounding soldiers had already surrounded him, and he had no choice but to take action.
But with his strength at the Spirit Transformation Realm, these people wouldn't be able to catch him with just one finger, right?
At the critical moment, a figure came flying from above the imperial city and flew straight into Ning Jie's arms.
"Brother! You're back!"
The pressure of the upcoming war with Galan and the pain of missing each other after not seeing each other for a long time made Xia Wanqing rush over impatiently the moment she received Ning Jie's message.
Seeing Ning Jie at this time, the pressure and longing in his heart seemed to have finally found an outlet.
For a moment, she threw all her manners and reserve out of her mind.
"Brother, why didn't you come to see me when you arrived in the Imperial City?"
Ning Jie originally wanted to say it was okay, but after catching a glimpse of the extremely wonderful expression on the guard's face, a playful smile appeared in his eyes.
"Alas, Junior Sister, you don't know this. After I received your message, I knew you must be under a lot of pressure!"
"So, after I settled Si Luo, I immediately set off, traveling day and night at full speed, not daring to delay even a moment!"
"Cross the snowy plains, cross the North Sea! No matter how fierce the wind and snow are, or how huge the waves are, I will be like the breeze blowing through. Nothing can stop me for a single second!"
"But I never expected... just when I had gone through so much hardship and thought I could finally be with you, I was stopped outside the city gate!"
"At this moment, I finally understood that even though it's so close... it's still so far away!"
As he spoke, Ning Jie glanced at the guard, only to see that he was so moved that he was in tears. He clasped his hands together and kept waving them towards him, muttering to himself.
"Brother, father, ancestors! I beg you to stop talking. It's enough. If you keep talking, our family won't even be together!"
Sure enough, at this moment Xia Wanqing suddenly exuded a cold and stern aura and turned to look at everyone.
"Who stopped you?"
A circle of soldiers immediately stood at attention, and more than a dozen hands pointed straight at the tearful guard at the same time.
The guard instantly felt disheartened. At this moment, he felt like he had been abandoned by the whole world.
"Your Highness, Princess, I really didn't mean it!"
"puff..."
Ning Jie looked at the guard's desperate expression and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Buddy, why don’t you pretend anymore?
You are an office worker, why are you pretending to be like me, a boss?
However, Xia Wanqing had no intention of joking at this time, and stared at the guard with a cold gaze.
"I asked you to come to the Imperial City so that you can supervise the soldiers to prevent them from being overbearing and damaging the reputation of Daxia."
"I'm not asking you to be superior and act arrogantly!"
"Are you planning to destroy your own cultivation, or do you want me to do it myself?"
After hearing this, the guard couldn't even cry. He didn't act arrogantly, he was just pretending to be powerful.
Even if I pretended to be the wrong person, it wouldn't be a serious enough crime.
"Ahem, Junior Sister, I have a better idea than abolishing my cultivation."
Just when the guard had given up hope and was about to accept reality, Ning Jie suddenly spoke.
