Chapter 175 Meeting Ning Qingying By Chance
"Did you find anything else?"
Zhao Mu asked.
Xing Ziyue said, "There should be more detailed records in the Sword Immortal Pavilion's library, but the requirements are very high. I borrowed Wen Yan's disciple nameplate to enter, but I can only read the information at the lowest level. It's very difficult to go to the higher levels."
Shi Rui said, "I recently cultivated a Mind Manipulation Technique. I wanted to use it on Wen Yan and get her to help us find information, but Xing Ziyue stopped my plan."
Zhao Mu blushed with shame, "It's good that you stopped it. Mind Manipulation Technique isn't a good thing. Furthermore, Wen Yan is the granddaughter of the Sword Immortal Pavilion's Great Elder. How could she not have a powerful defensive treasure? If you used Mind Manipulation Technique on her, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Shi Rui shrugged, "I also know this, so I specially made a meticulous plan. According to my plan, there's at least an eighty percent chance of success."
"Your way of thinking … You're indeed a disciple of the Devil Sect."
Zhao Mu shook his head. The Devil Sect had a free spirit and never restricted the cultivation techniques of their disciples. This didn't seem to be a good thing.
When the Empress regained power, Zhao Mu had to give her some constructive advice.
After all, he was now considered half the master of the Devil Sect and shouldered the responsibility of bringing the Devil Sect to greater heights.
"Junior Brother Zhao, the Sword Trial will begin tomorrow. Are you really going to participate?"
Xing Ziyue looked slightly worried. She said, "I heard from Wenyan that the contestants of this Sword Trial are more powerful than those of previous years. There are three powerhouses in the Tribulation Stage, and there are even more powerhouses in the Combination Stage and the Void Refining Stage. I know you're very powerful, but even you can't gain an advantage in this situation."
"Don't worry, the Empress's strength has already recovered. I'll participate in the Sword Trial with her." Zhao Mu explained.
Hearing this, Xing Ziyue heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Since the Empress is personally participating, the result is set in stone."
"Aren't there still three Tribulation Passing experts participating? I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Zhao Mu said.
"There are differences between Tribulation Transcendence and Tribulation Transcendence. Our Matriarch is the leader of the Devil Sect, her strength and methods can be ranked amongst the top in the entire Immortal Martial Continent. But for ordinary Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, they only have a slightly longer lifespan. How could they be a match for our Matriarch?"
It seemed like Xing Ziyue had a lot of faith in Empress Qing Yun.
Perhaps in the hearts of the disciples of the Devil Sect, Empress Qing Yun was a special existence that couldn't be judged by common sense.
"I don't know how the situation will change from now on. It's not appropriate for the two of you to continue staying in the Sword Immortal Pavilion. During the Sword Trial Assembly, find an opportunity to bid farewell to Wen Yan and head to the Zhao Country first. I'll meet up with you when the time comes."
Zhao Mu did not want Xing Ziyue and Shi Rui to be in danger. It would be safer for them to leave the Sword Immortal Pavilion now.
Shi Rui nodded. "I understand. It just so happens that I also want to go home and visit my sister."
"Say hello to Shi Man for me."
Zhao Mu said and gave each of them a bottle of pills, increasing their favorability by a little.
After bidding farewell to the two, Zhao Mu was about to return to find Wu Miaomiao when he unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance.
It was Ning Qingying, Wen Yan's senior apprentice sister.
"Benefactor, it's really you. I thought I misjudged you!"
Ning Qingying was overjoyed. She walked towards Zhao Mu and asked: "Benefactor, are you here to participate in the Sword Trial Assembly?
Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could receive you? "
"Shh!"
Zhao Mu immediately pulled Ning Qingying's slender arm and left the crowd. They came to a secluded place.
"Lower your voice. I came here intentionally to keep a low profile. I was afraid of being pestered by your junior apprentice sister who offered herself to me. I saved your life before, you can't betray me."
Ning Qingying was startled at first, then she couldn't help but bitterly smile.
It seemed that Wen Yan's act of wanting to repay him with her body in the Thousand Demon Forest had frightened her benefactor. If this girl knew about it, she would probably be very sad.
"Don't worry, benefactor, I will keep it a secret for you. Actually, that girl Wen Yan is not as mentally ill as you think. She is a complete beauty lover. Coincidentally, she owes you a favor and you are her type. That's why she said those offensive words in a moment of impulse. Please don't blame her, benefactor."
"That's not important. I have caused too many emotional debts in my life. I just don't want to drag her down with me." Zhao Mu looked up at the moon and said with a melancholy face.
Ning Qingying saw the cold moonlight shining on Zhao Mu's well-defined face. His eyes seemed to hide many past events, making people want to pry into them.
At this moment, Ning Qingying's heartstrings could not help but flutter. Her breathing also subconsciously quickened by three times.
"En … Benefactor, I know that you are not the kind of person who wants to repay kindness, but I still want to express my gratitude to you. Could benefactor please come to my residence? Qingying would like to personally cook for benefactor to express my gratitude."
This …
Zhao Mu glanced at Ning Qingying's favorability.
85 …
It was a bit high.
This meal was probably going to have a different taste.
"Won't I disturb you?"
"It's fine. Qingying lives alone. There is no one else at home."
"Then … Fine, I happen to be a little hungry."
He had not eaten meat for a long time and was indeed a little hungry.
Wu Qiyuan was accompanying Wu Miaomiao anyway, so Zhao Mu did not need to go back.
Not long after, Zhao Mu followed Ning Qingying to her residence.
It was located near a sea of flowers in the northeast of the Hidden Sword Valley.
"The scenery here is not bad, but why is it so secluded?"
Zhao Mu looked around and found that there were no traces of people around. It could be seen that very few people came here.
Speaking of which, since Ning Qingying was Wen Yan's senior sister, she should also be an official disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. Shouldn't she be living in the Vast Star Sacred Ground?
Ning Qingying explained: "My identity is actually a bit special. I am not an official disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. Strictly speaking, I am actually a disciple of the Inverted Hanging Mountain."
Inverted mountain?
It was also one of the Five Great Holy Lands of the Human Tribe. The Headmaster was Fairy Ning Hua, who was also a ruthless person. Zhao Mu had read many records about her life in books. She had a very high prestige among the Human Tribe, even surpassing the Sword God Qu Liu.
The matter of Ning Qingying being a disciple of Inverted Hanging Mountain really made Zhao Mu feel rather surprised.
"It's a long story. My father is from the Inverted Hanging Mountain, but my mother is from the Sword Immortal Pavilion. She is the adopted daughter of the Grand Elder and can be considered Wen Yan's aunt. Therefore, I can also be considered Wen Yan's cousin who is not related by blood. Something happened back then and my father … betrayed the Inverted Hanging Mountain. I was sent to the Sword Immortal Pavilion by my mother."
It sounded very complicated.
Zhao Mu comforted him, "All the unbearable memories of the past will eventually become jokes in our old age. Apart from life and death, there is no need to fear."
"Apart from life and death, there is no need for fear …"
Ning Qingying repeated Zhao Mu's words and her eyes seemed to have understood something.
She smiled and welcomed Zhao Mu into the small courtyard that she had meticulously built and said: "Benefactor, our reunion today, apart from coincidence, perhaps it is also somewhat destined. I want to toast you a few times. I hope that benefactor will do me the honor."
"Okay."
