Xiao Lengtong's eyes drifted, "No."
"Xiao Tongtong, Master Nephew Qu wants to ask you, have you seen anything new and different?"
Xiao Lengtong was very clever. She raised her hand and pointed her finger at her, "I just met my beautiful sister."
"Xiao Tongtong, tell Master Nephew Yuan, have you ever felt like you have become someone else?"
Xiao Lengtong got up and shook her head firmly, "I am a half-demon, I will not turn into a human."
The momentum of the three Jindan masters instantly dropped a lot. They really couldn't deal with this little guy, so they somehow thought of it together. They turned their heads to look at Zhao Ning and signaled at the same time.
Zhao Ning paused, looked at Xiao Lengtong and asked, "Xiao Tongtong, where did you learn the title 'Pretty Sister'?"
She reached out and touched Xiao Lengtong's head, with a strange smile, "This title is both common and rare, and even rarer. My sister has never heard of a child being called such a name in the world of cultivation."
What should it usually be called? Fairy sister, beauty sister and so on.
These two words together are too inappropriate for the context.
Xiao Lengtong bit her finger and peeked at Zhao Ning. She suddenly couldn't refute anything at this moment. It wasn't that she was sure that Xiao Lengtong was lying with just one word. It was just that Xiao Lengtong suddenly understood that these people already knew that she had something. A new place to have fun.
The next moment, Xiao Lengtong burst into tears.
"I just want to find someone to play with. I don't want to stay in a cold dormitory every day. I want to go to an amusement park, go down the slide, and eat fried chicken!"
The first two sentences were normal, and the three Jindan masters were so distressed that they hurriedly responded and wiped her tears with their sleeves. However, in the last few sentences, the three Jindan masters were confused. What is an amusement park and what is a slide? , what is explosion...
No, they understood the last two words.
"It seems that Xiao Tongtong wants to go to the mortal world." After all, only the mortal world has fried food made of chicken.
The three golden elixir masters exchanged glances, all confused, "Why don't we wait for the Supreme Elder to come back and talk to the elder."
Zhao Ning saw them muttering in low voices and glanced at Xiao Lengtong, who was peeking at the three of them while pretending to cry. She intuitively told Zhao Ning that the place she was talking about was not the ordinary world of Kyushu.
But she didn't say much. After waking up Xiao Lengtong, her mission here was completed. She saluted the three Jindan masters and said goodbye.
Qu Yi stepped forward to see her off, walked a few steps, and praised with a smile, "Miss Shen, you are worthy of being a future genius. I hope you have a teacher to follow. If not, Miss Shen may be interested in joining my Jihan Palace."
Zhao Ning remembered that she wanted to become a disciple of Master Qin but was interrupted frequently. She just shook her head lightly towards Qu Yi.
"Elder Qu, there is no need to send him off. I can go back on my own."
Zhao Ning flew down from the floating iceberg of Dongjue Hall alone, jumped over several floating icebergs, and landed on a larger floating iceberg. In front of the main hall square on the iceberg, she saw some Jihan Palace disciples who were in the middle stage of Qi training. They are exercising collectively, their movements are graceful but they hide their decisiveness.
She looked at it for a while and suddenly noticed something strange.
At a glance, it was clear that the disciples in the middle stage of Qi training in Jihan Palace were practicing the ancient way. Even the few disciples in the early stage of foundation building who passed by nearby, Zhao Ning could see that they were the same ancient way monks.
Could it be that the Jihan Palace majors in the ancient path and does not practice the spiritual root path? But isn’t Linggen Avenue a road respected by all of Kyushu?
While Zhao Ning was thinking, she felt an escaping light approaching, and her thoughts were interrupted. When she turned around, she saw the young man who had sent the message with the golden sword.
Bai Ye.
Judging from his performance, he actually came to look for Zhao Ning himself.
Chapter 188
For a moment, the worries that had been weighing in her heart for nearly two years made Zhao Ning want to teleport directly in front of Bai Ye.
But as Bai Ye's Escape Light approached, Zhao Ning's legs and feet seemed to be out of control.
In fact, the surface is calm, but the heart is in turmoil.
Until Bai Ye stood half a foot in front of her, Zhao Ning was as calm as ever, and bowed respectfully, "I have met Master Bai."
He raised his hand to support her, "Shen Zhaoning? That little girl who was with Brother Qin back then?"
"It's me." Zhao Ning raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why did Master Bai come to look for me personally? I was just about to ask fellow Taoist Xu to recommend him on my behalf."
The words were a casual greeting, but I was thinking that maybe it was inconvenient for Master Qin to come out, so he asked Bai Ye to look for him on his behalf. But she actually knew better that Uncle Qin might really not be in Jihan Palace anymore.
Bai Ye turned his palm over and saw a jade slip, which could be used to record messages and transmit messages.
At this time, the green jade slip was glowing with light.
"This is the messenger talisman left by Brother Qin. If it senses that you are nearby, it will respond." Bai Ye said, "I think this is indeed the case."
He handed the messenger talisman to Zhao Ning, "This is what Brother Qin left for you."
The messenger talisman is extremely gentle, and the dark lines seem to be newly carved. There are restrictions on it, and the information inside cannot be directly glimpsed.
Zhao Ning did not open the messenger talisman immediately.
"Thank you Master Bai. I wonder where Uncle Qin has gone?"
Bai Ye looked at Zhao Ning, paused for a moment and sighed. When he spoke again, he didn't answer Zhao Ning's question, but started from the beginning.
"Back then, even though I and my disciples arrived at the last minute, Brother Qin used up all his vitality to be promoted, from Jindan to Nascent Soul, and then suffered the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. It was a blessing that he had the last bit of vitality to hang on. There is nothing I can do but bring him back to the Extreme Cold Sect."
The emotion on Zhao Ning's face was still not obvious, but the hand holding the messenger talisman tightly revealed her emotions that she could hardly hide at the moment.
"What happened next?" Zhao Ning asked, "Uncle Qin, is there still hope?"
"By the time we arrived at Jihan Palace, his soul fire had already been extinguished. I asked Master to take a look at him, but there was nothing I could do." Perhaps Zhao Ning was afraid that he would be shocked by such news, so he hurriedly added One sentence, "But he was not dead at the time. Master used the technique of restoring consciousness to gather Brother Qin's consciousness. Originally, he wanted to hear his last words, but he didn't want Brother Qin to wake up and say, please Master, send him somewhere."
Zhao Ning's mind suddenly trembled, "Where is it?"
"Time Ruins."
Zhao Ning had never heard of such a place.
"It is said that it is the ruins of heaven. All things are silent and all spirits are annihilated. There is no time and space. It is a mysterious and mysterious place. I don't know where it is. Only the Yuanying masters know." Bai Ye said again, "But I have a vague suspicion that it may be above our heads."
Bai Ye looked up at the sky. The Jihan Palace was on top of the snow-capped mountains. Looking at the sky like this, he still couldn't see the highest point of the sky. The stars in the sky were bright and the Milky Way spread out in the starry sky.
Zhao Ning looked at the stars above her head, was it the Milky Way?
But they don't get answers.
Bai Ye comforted Zhao Ning, "Since Brother Qin asked Master to do this, there must be a glimmer of hope. Maybe we will see him one day."
Zhao Ning was silent.
Bai Ye sighed again. He knew it would be difficult for people to accept it for a while, so he changed the topic.
"You should be practicing everywhere in Jiuzhou now. Kunxu is now in chaos, and there are no boundaries between the major sects. The Qingxiao Sect is no longer the original Qingxiao Sect."
Zhao Ning looked up at him, "Kunxu's matter will be solved sooner or later. If Master Qin doesn't come back, I will tell the world the truth about Kunxu for him."
"You little girl." Bai Ye smiled. For Jindan masters like Bai Ye, Zhao Ning was just a little girl who had just started practicing for ten years. "If you really want to tell the truth for Brother Qin, it shouldn't be at this time. Kunxu's power first lost half of its disciples, and then lost three Nascent Soul Masters. No matter what the truth is, for them It doesn’t matter anymore, they need to find someone to take care of these causes and effects. If you go now, you will go against the will of the entire Kunxu, and you are too weak, do you understand?"
Zhao Ning closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them she looked calm again. She gave a slight salute to Bai Ye, "Zhao Ning thanked the real person for his advice."
"She is a smart girl." Bai Ye praised, "Brother Qin specifically mentioned you and asked me to help you."
Bai Ye handed a spirit bag to Zhao Ning, "You will temporarily stay in our Jihan Palace and become a registered disciple of our Jihan Palace. This spirit bag contains the contents of the registered disciple's identity token. I have already It’s been arranged for you.”
Zhao Ning did not refuse. For her, there was no safer way than to name the Jihan Sect.
She took the spirit bag and wanted to thank her again, but Bai Ye stopped her directly, "There's no need to thank you again. You are the person assigned by Brother Qin. I will make proper arrangements. Brother Qin saved my life. This is a small matter. We can still help, not to mention having a future prodigy who is very likely to form a high-grade golden elixir as a registered disciple, Jihan Palace is also looking for it."
There seems to be another meaning in his words, as if he is saying that you are the person Qin Keyuan promised to take care of before his death, and he will naturally help Qin Keyuan's last wish.
At this moment, Zhao Ning endured the collapse in her heart, but her face was calm, and her thoughts were blank, as if her fear and sadness were exposed with the slightest movement.
Over the years, Zhao Ning has become accustomed to hiding her sadness and not begging for anyone's pity.
So, after Zhao Ning fell silent, Bai Ye also fell silent. Maybe he was thinking that such a cold girl did not seem worthy of Qin Keyuan's special explanation before his death.
But Bai Ye just thought about it and let it go. This was Qin Keyuan's choice. He just had to do everything he could and help.
As he said that, he turned over his hand and took out a piece of ice jade, "This is the pass token for the Tianchi cultivation place. You can go there to practice, and your cultivation speed will be much faster than in the outside world."
Zhao Ning took it and finally said, "Thank you, Master Bai, for your help."
"That's all." Bai Ye said, "That's all I can explain. If you have any questions, maybe Brother Qin will tell you in the message."
Bai Ye had never opened the message jade talisman. The restrictions on the talisman were so weird that he couldn't open it.
Zhao Ning agreed.
"If you have any difficulty, you can go to Baixia Palace to find me."
"Farewell to Master Bai." Zhao Ning bowed.
When he looked up again, Bai Ye had turned into a ray of light and flew away again.
Zhao Ning looked up and looked for a while, but her eyes were not focused. Until Bai Ye's figure had completely disappeared into the sea of clouds, she still kept her original posture motionless.
For a long time, the Qi-refining period disciples who had been exercising in the square had already finished their morning classes, and passed by Zhao Ning in groups of twos and threes.
Some will look at Zhao Ning's face more because of his appearance, and some will notice the jade talisman held in Zhao Ning's hand. These disciples know that this jade talisman is from a place of cultivation, and it is an extremely good place for cultivation, so they Thinking that Zhao Ning was some elder's new disciple, he raised his hands to greet Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning came back to her senses and noticed the attitude of the disciples around her. She didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and then turned into a ray of light and left.
The disciples in the square chatted quietly.
"Which senior in the palace is that? How come I've never seen it before."
"I think I saw Bai Ye coming to look for him just now. The two of them talked for a while, maybe he is from Baixia Palace."
"Master Bai Ye is a top-grade Jindan Master, and he is also a close disciple of Master Shuanglong. He has a bright future."
"Hey, this is probably the immortal who was born with the golden tripod of luck."
Zhao Ning didn't hear these comments. Even if she heard them, Zhao Ning wouldn't express anything about them. Now she just wants to return to the cave.
Outside the cave, Zhao Ning's figure flashed past, and Zhao Ning didn't even notice that the demon Wei Shuo and Jiang Yao were talking not far away.
"Isn't that Miss Shen? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wei Shuo asked strangely.
Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes and stared, "Who knows? Do you know when she went out?"
"How do I know this, but I seemed to have seen Qu Yi coming before. What do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting, just asking casually."
Zhao Ning was in the cave. She was holding Qin Keyuan's messenger talisman in her hand. The restrictions on the talisman were heavy and secret. Zhao Ning knew that this thing could not be unlocked by conventional methods.
She paused and took out the ancient dragon-patterned jade pendant from her arms. The jade pendant turned into a dragon spirit and swam in her hand. After turning around a few times, it got directly into the messenger talisman.
