One month later.
One after another, everything returned to calm.
Qingming Town became famous because of its resistance to the Qushan tribe. There was a lot of discussion in the small towns within Qushan City. For a time, Qingming Town became a topic of discussion among countless cultivators.
In the mansion of Mayor Keyan, Yang Ning sat under Keyan, the ancestor of the Chai family sat next to Yang Ning, and opposite him sat Liu Kun and Feng Liang.
"Yang Ning, is Senior Jian Jue's injury healed?" Ke Yan asked. Qingming Town was able to be saved this time, thanks to Jian Jue's great efforts. However, since then, Jian Jue seemed to have faded out of everyone's sight and disappeared completely.
"Senior is still in seclusion." Yang Ning simply replied. Once a strong person like Jian Jue is injured, without the healing medicine, it is almost impossible to recover in a short period of time.
A worried look appeared on Ke Yan's face. Although Qingming Town had resisted the Qushan tribe, with the strength of the Qushan tribe, there was no guarantee when it would attack again. However, Jian Jue had been in seclusion, how could he not let it go? Keyan was worried.
"Don't worry, Mayor. Senior Jianjue is in seclusion. It won't be much better if you come to Qushanhou. After all, they are strong men of the same level." Liu Kun analyzed objectively.
"Well, I hope so." Ke Yan could only pray, hoping that Qu Shanhou would not recover too quickly.
"Mayor, did you call us here today?" Feng Liang asked.
"This morning, the mayor sent a message, asking me and four others to come to the mayor's residence. Judging from the situation, there must be something to discuss, right?" Liu Kun, as the head of the Liu family, naturally has a clear mind.
Ke Yan glanced sideways slightly, glanced at Yang Ning, then glanced at the four people, and said: "In this incident, the Lu family was destroyed, and one of the four major families in Qingming Town was missing. I was thinking of letting Yang Ning take over, but I don't know if everyone What do you think?"
"I agree." As soon as Ke Yan finished speaking, the ancestor of the Chai family came forward to express his approval.
In fact, since the incident ended a month ago, the Ningmeng led by Yang Ning has moved into the Lu family's mansion. Although it has not been personally named by the mayor, it is already one of the four major families worthy of the name.
Now Ke Yan brought it up, presumably to clear the name of Yang Ning's Ningmeng.
All three families knew this very well, and Yang Ning had previously been a staff member of the Chai family. At the end of the war, Yang Ning helped the ancestor of the Chai family unlock the life-burning secret.
For the Chai family, Yang Ning can be said to be a lifesaver. Now that he saw Keyan taking the initiative, he naturally agreed with both hands.
"What do you think?" Ke Yan looked at Liu Kun Fengliang and asked.
"Me, I have no objection." Liu Kun naturally understood Yang Ning's contribution to Qingming Town and had no objection.
"Feng Liang, what about you?"
"But it's up to the mayor to make the decision." Feng Liang had nothing to say. To know that Qingming Town can exist this time, let’s not talk about the reason for Jian Jue. Yang Ning used the power of Ningmeng and the power of Liu Yan and Feng Feiyang to break through the enemy’s encirclement, allowing Qingming Town to save a fresh force. I'm afraid the battle above the ground could destroy Qingming Town.
Feng Liang knew that he had no reason to refuse such a contribution.
"With this, I declare that Ningmeng will become one of the four major families in Qingming Town from now on. I hope everyone will take more care of it in the future." Ke Yan announced the result.
Yang Ning clasped his fists at Key Yan and said, "Thank you very much, Mayor." Yang Ning turned around and was polite to the three of them: "Please take care of the three seniors in the future. I'd like to thank you in advance."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The three of them returned the gesture with clasped fists.
After some polite remarks, Keyan sat above him and said seriously: "If the Qushan tribe doesn't get what they want this time, I'm afraid they won't let it go, so we still need to unite as one." Keyan paused, looked at the four people below, and said: "Don't let any internal strife happen. Improving your strength is the most important thing."
"Yes." The four of them responded in unison.
After bidding farewell to Key Yan, Yang Ning came to the former Lu family's mansion, which is now Ningmeng.
Yang Ning transplanted a thousand green bamboo groves at the back of the main hall and built a bamboo house next to it for his daily rest.
Yang Ning stared at the green bamboo forest in front of her, missing the days of practicing swordsmanship with Hui Ni.
A month ago, Hui Ni left without saying goodbye, but left a letter in the bamboo house of Chai's family.
If I see you in the sky one day, I will accompany you in the bamboo forest for a lifetime.
Below this sentence, there are traces of a few tears.
A life of words, a life of words... Hui Ni, do you know that what I want is not separation, but a real long-term stay together.
Maybe I should speed up my pace. Yang Ning stared at the green bamboo forest, as if he saw the beauty dancing in the bamboo forest. The black gauze was so clear and alluring.
"Yang Ning..." Yang Qiong came to the bamboo forest and walked to Yang Ning's side.
"You're here..." Yang Ning came back from the mayor and informed Yang Qiong to come over.
Yang Ning came back to his senses and continued: "Now that Ningmeng has reached a stage of stable development, you can teach them the techniques I gave you with confidence and boldness, but remember, your cultivation level is tens of millions." Don’t let it fall behind, beware of things happening to the extreme.”
"Are you leaving?" Yang Qiong heard Yang Ning's tone, as if he was arranging things, and knew Yang Ning's plan.
For Yang Ning, Yang Qiong no longer has any hatred in his heart, and for more than half a year, Yang Ning has been with him since the destruction of Yangjia Village, preventing him from being blinded by hatred, and he has benefited from Yang Ning, repairing In order to make rapid progress, Yang Ning is irreplaceable in Yang Qiong's heart.
"It's time to leave." Yang Ning looked at the green bamboo forest in front of him, feeling lost in thought.
"Where are you going?" Yang Qiong knew that Yang Ning's stage was definitely not limited to this small Qingming Town, because even the mayor Ke Yan was amazed by the talent Yang Ning had shown in the past six months.
"I don't know yet, but the mayor recommended me to have a military career, but I haven't decided yet." Yang Ning answered.
Among the people who grew up with him, Yang Qiong, Yang Pi and Yang Zhen are the only three left. Therefore, Yang Ning cherishes Yang Qiong especially.
"After I leave, you must control your emotions. The Qushan tribe is very strong and we haven't had the chance to take revenge yet. If possible, you can send your brothers in the alliance to contact Yang Pi from the Ancient Blade Tower and Wuyinmen." Yang Zhen, let them know about this, after all, they are also part of Yangjia Village." Yang Ning said.
Yang Ning kept his hatred for Yangjiacun in his heart. Thinking back to the scorched earth at the end of the village and the kind old man, Yang Ning felt his heart bleed.
In order to survive, Yangjiacun was ruthlessly suppressed by the Qushan tribe.
There is no right or wrong in the world, it is just about survival and resources.
"Those two guys are probably not weaker than me in cultivation now," Yang Qiong said. As for Yang Zhen, Yang Qiong already knew that Yang Zhen's talent was terrible when he was young. And Yang Pi, just like himself, had a business rivalry, and in the past few years he had received help from the Ancient Sword Tower, and he had made rapid progress.
"It's good to think about it." Thinking back to Yang Zhen and Yang Pi, Yang Ning felt nostalgic for them.
Especially Yang Zhen, who went straight to Wuyinmen to chase Qin Ningyi, felt cute just thinking about it.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Ning's mouth. She didn't know if she could catch him, and Yang Ning had a little expectation.
"It seems I have to work hard." Yang Qiong clenched his fists, and a hatred flashed through his eyes.
Now that Yang Ning and Ning Meng have established a firm foothold in Qingming Town, they no longer have any worries.
It's time to leave. Yang Ning looked back at the green bamboo forest and said softly: "Wan'er, I owe you again in this life..."
Yang Ning stayed in Ningmeng for a few days and finally decided to leave.
Just the night before Yang Ning decided to leave, Jian Jue finally came out of seclusion, adding a lot of joy to the loneliness of Yang Ning's departure.
After all, Jian Jue was injured because of Qingming Town.
"Senior, are you injured?" Yang Ning asked.
Jian Jue didn't look as heroic as before, but the aura of a strong man had resurfaced, completely unlike the miserable situation of that day.
Jian Jue replied: "It's almost good, but if you want to fully recover without the healing medicine, I'm afraid it won't be possible for more than a year and a half."
Yang Ning was quickly relieved when she heard that she had not fully recovered yet.
Yang Ning said: "Senior, what are your plans in the future?"
Jian Jue sighed and said, "I thought a lot during the retreat. It has been twenty years since I left Beixuan Sword Sect, and it's time to go back and take a look. After all, my roots are there."
Jian Jue finally decided to return to Beixuan Sword Sect.
"Besides, calculating the time, in two years, it should be time for the five factions competition, and I just want to go back and have a look." Jian Jue, as the Supreme Elder of Beixuan Sword Sect twenty years ago, also had to prepare for the competition. Beixuan Sword Sect considers it.
"Where are you going, little friend?" Jian Jue is nearly a hundred years old, how shrewd he is, and with Yang Ning's qualifications, this small Qingming Town is definitely not his target.
"I'm going to the army to hone my sword skills." Yang Ning replied.
"Yes." Jian Jue nodded and said, "If you want to hone your sword intention, it is definitely a good choice."
Jian Jue stretched out his fingers, bursting out a burst of sword intent, and said: "The sword is a killing weapon. Only by truly experiencing the baptism of blood and tears can you truly grow. And you have already achieved a small level of sword intent, and you really need to settle down." Ichiban." As a kenjue master who has understood the secret of the half-step sword, Jian Jue naturally understands the training of a swordsman.
"Yes, the sword intention needs to be understood, but it is indeed not easy to be greedy for merit. Otherwise, the sword intention will be vain, and the gain will outweigh the losses." Yang Ning was at the top of the world in his previous life, so how could he not know this truth.
The next day, Feng Feiyang and Feng Xing'er were welcomed to Ning Meng's house. When they learned that Jian Jue was out of seclusion, they came to the door and expressed their willingness to join the Beixuan Sword Sect.
This put Jian Jue in a dilemma, but after learning the identity of Feng Feiyang's mother, he readily agreed and was willing to go with Feng Feiyang.
However, what is surprising is that Liu Yan also approached Jian Jue on the same day and asked Jian Jue to accept him as his disciple.
For the Liu family, Jian Jue has an unknown affection. After all, Liu Baicong, the ancestor of the Liu family, has an old relationship with the Beixuan Sword Sect.
Moreover, the spear that Liu Yan practiced was much stronger than the sword in terms of power, but it was not as flexible.
However, with Liu Baicong's relationship, Jian Jue couldn't refuse, so in the end he had no choice but to agree to Liu Yan.
Jian Jue gave them two days to say goodbye to their families.
Two days later, Yang Ning, Jian Jue and his group left Qingming Town and parted at the head of the town. Yang Ning walked towards the Qingsong Mountains in the distance.
