Life in the East Xiaoyuan is quite leisurely, even more comfortable than in Tan Lang Mace's dormitory. After all, there is no pressure. When Ningxia goes out, there is no need to worry about being kidnapped by that lurking person at any time.
As the leader of the Huyang Sect, Xie Shi took Ningxia to travel throughout the entire Huyang Sect, going almost everywhere except the leader's cave.
Ningxia discovered that Xie Shi was quite popular and anyone walking on the road would recognize him. There were stalls in the living area of the main peak that stuffed things for him, such as small trinkets, spiritual food, and other gadgets.
She also collected a lot of money from following this guy, just like a bully who collects protection money, which is weird. But I have to admit, it’s actually pretty cool at certain times, and it gives me the illusion of being very popular.
Okay, that's going too far to call a bully. After all, those people gave things with smiles on their faces and willingly. What they gave were not worth the spiritual stone trinkets, so Xie Shi and Ning Xia dared to accept them.
Ning Xia guessed that these people were all for Xie Shi's father, Zhenjun Lingche, and wanted to build a good relationship with Xie Shi before giving him anything. I guess I wanted to build a good relationship, but I couldn't see Zhenjun Lingche in person, so I started with Xie Shi.
However, as soon as she mentioned this idea to Xie Shi, he was immediately rejected.
"How is that possible? If that's the case, I wouldn't dare accept their things! What if they all use this as an excuse to ask Dad for help in the future?" Xie Shi said strangely.
Although Senior Sister Ning has cultivated a lot and has a relatively mature mind, she still has the mentality of a child. He actually had such an idea, he explained with a bit of laughter and tears.
"I have helped those monks before. I saw that those monks were in poverty and their cultivation talents were not very high, so I didn't charge them for it. Later, every time I passed by, they would give me something small as a reward." For a moment, Xie Shi's expression was unexpectedly mature.
Hearing this, Ningxia was a little shy. Well, there is indeed a deep gap between her, a pseudo-ancient person, and the real ancient monks. Facts have proved that modern thinking cannot be thought of in ancient times.
If we were in modern times, lower-level employees might be able to build a good relationship with their superiors by giving them things and leave a good name with them.
But it won’t work if it’s placed in the world of cultivation. The Nascent Soul cultivator is a superior person, but he is not an ordinary superior person. Ordinary gifts will not have much effect. If anyone can ask True Lord Yuanying for help by sending something, wouldn’t the Yuanying monks be extremely busy?
Xie Shi is also very measured in collecting things. He only accepts things from people he has helped before, and the purpose is to settle the cause and effect. After all, monks attach great importance to cause and effect. Accepting things is good for both parties.
He doesn't dare to accept others, who knows if they will be used by others. It would be bad if his father had to pay off his debt.
This point shows that there is a huge gap between Ningxia's thinking and that of orthodox monks. Not to mention, she would have thought that Xie Shi just collected things casually. Her thinking is still stuck in the simple logic of modern lower class giving things to the superior.
After hearing what Xie Shi said, she thought of something else.
No wonder she sometimes did something for others in the world of cultivation, and the other party had to pay her, compensate her, and the like. Sometimes things have to be given to you even if they are not necessary. This is the case with the Yue family in Fengming City, and it is also the case with Greedy Mace on Fuyun Island.
It turns out it’s all about the word cause and effect. I didn’t expect that the retribution of this thing in the world of cultivation is so strong, and almost everyone is wary of it.
Ningxia used to think that "karma" was just a common term. It seems she will have to pay attention in the future.
While talking and laughing, the two ended their day trip. This day went quite smoothly, and I didn't meet any special people, such as Mudi Guo Ni or people from other sects.
Ningxia followed Xie Shian for a whole day of fun and finally returned to Sangyang Peak.
True Lord Lingche still hasn’t come back.
Ningxia came here early this morning. Unfortunately, she got the news that the other party had temporarily left the peak, which made her sigh with regret and secretly cursed herself for procrastinating yesterday.
I don't know when the other party will come back. What should I do if the person hasn’t come back after the "asking the mirror" ceremony?
She had no choice but to go out with Xie Shi first, secretly hoping that he would come back sooner.
Wait until they come back from playing for a day. Sure enough, Zhenjun Lingche still didn't come back.
Ningxia even had a feeling that the other party might be out for a long time. This feeling of being blocked was really bad, and she regretted why she didn't hand over the letter and token as soon as they met.
But at that time, she wanted to get familiar with the situation before talking...
Who knew the danger was so close? Who knew that her wish to fulfill for Guo Ni would be so closely related to the mirror-asking ceremony? It was simply making it difficult for her.
Now that the matter has come to this, Ningxia can only do its best and leave it to fate. After all, she couldn't really take advantage of her comfort.
Seeing that Ning Xia was a little depressed, Xie Shi didn't think much about it. He just thought she was tired and sent her back to the east courtyard to rest.
Ningxia had no intention of continuing the conversation and simply went back to her room to meditate.
She wanted to settle the matter quickly and return to the sect to practice. The Chonghuan Sword and the set of swordsmanship given to her by Mrs. Hongji were still collecting dust in the small black box.
She couldn't keep him waiting too long.

"That evil disciple actually did such a wrong thing?! How shameful!" Zhenjun Mingdu, who had listened to the entire incident in silence, was furious.
But he was filled with rage and didn't know who to target. Tang Wen'an, who made a big mistake and died miserably, Xu Liang, who failed to take good care of his junior brother and is still in a coma, or Ling Chezhen, who brought him the news. Jun...he was so full of anger that he really couldn't express it.
The blameless one died an untimely death, and everything that went wrong was over. He was a little angry at those who had done nothing wrong, and it was hard to bear this tone.
This True Lord Mingdu truly lives up to the praise given to him by True Lord Lingche, and is extremely proud.
He couldn't bear this happening to his family, and it was his senior brother who brought it to him personally. He couldn't even forgive himself for having such a rebellious person under his command. Unbearable——
"Mingdu..." Zhenjun Lingche knew the temperament of his junior brother. So I didn't dare to persuade him too much. This might make him more angry. It was better to shut up and wait for him to calm down and think about it.
Lord Mingdu was furious and anxious for a long time. He scratched his heart and lungs for a while and finally managed to calm down. It's just that I don't get angry as soon as I open my mouth.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Senior Brother Lingche, for coming here to inform me of this matter. I apologize for my temporary lapse."
Mingdu is proud of himself, but he is also a person who has a clear sense of grudges and grudges. Not to misunderstand that Zhenjun Lingche came to see his joke, he reluctantly smiled at him and cupped his hands.
"Senior brother, this trip happens to be happening. I am going to the headmaster's office to discuss the mirror-asking ceremony. Why don't we go together to discuss this matter together. Also, the matter of evil disciples also needs one or two from senior brother Zhou Xuan..." Zhenjun Mingdu was a bit agitated. It was difficult to say it, but he finally said it.
"Junior brother, don't worry. I already understand this matter."
