After more than a decade of ups and downs, Ning Que had never hesitated because it had become a habit. Once it became a habit, it would become the most powerful force. However, he did not expect that some habits would be broken on this trip to the Lanke Temple and Tile Mountain.
Beside the Jumping Tiger Stream, Sangsang said that she would try to solve the game by herself, which surprised him. Because he knew that although she was a little vain sometimes, she was never competitive. More importantly, according to past habits, in this kind of situation, she should quietly stand by his side, waiting for him to solve the problem.
He thought of many reasons, such as the other girl in the carriage … However, after listening to Sangsang's words in the meditation room, he realized that Sangsang was just trying to prove herself.
To prove herself was to prove to herself that it had nothing to do with the world.
Sangsang just wanted to prove to herself that she was no longer a silent handmaiden by Ning Que's side, but a wife who could share his burden. She even wanted to try to shelter him from the wind and the rain.
Because she also had needs — the need to be needed by Ning Que, and the need to make Ning Que proud.
Ning Que looked at the autumn tree and frowned slightly.
Then he reached out and gently flicked the red leaves in the meditation room and said, "What an idiot. I raised you. Do I need you to think for me and protect me?"
During the conversation in the meditation room, he felt like crying several times. However, he managed to cover it up with his cold temperament and talent for acting. Now that he was the only one in the courtyard, he could not help but wipe his eyes.
He felt very embarrassed. Looking at the red leaves on the branches of the autumn tree that were about to fall, he scolded angrily, "Just because of this, even if you die, I will go to the Underworld to catch you and teach you a lesson!"
Light footsteps sounded.
Shanshan, who was wearing a white cotton dress, walked over and stood beside him without looking at his face.
The meditation room was quiet, except for Sangsang's uncomfortable coughing in her sleep.
The two looked at the red leaves in silence.
Ning Que suddenly said, "Ah, ah, ah."
Mo Shanshan said, "Yes, yes, ah."
There was still a sound in the silence.
…
…
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the temple. It seemed that someone wanted to enter the courtyard but was stopped by the monks in the temple. An intense argument broke out between the two parties, instantly breaking the silence in the courtyard.
Ning Que could tell that it was the voice of the South Jin Kingdom's imperial chess master. He could not help but frown and look at the courtyard door.
"Why do you want to see her? Of course I want her to acknowledge me as her master! "
"You are also monks of the Lanke Temple. Don't you know what the divination of heaven means?"
"There hasn't been a Heavenly Diviner in tens of thousands of years. How can he cultivate? Of course I want to play chess! "
"Although that little girl is a heaven-defying person, the way of chess is as vast as the ocean. How could it be so simple? If she is willing to become my disciple and learn chess, I will definitely teach her everything I know in my life."
"That little girl has such talent. Today, she has met a brilliant teacher like me. As long as she focuses on chess, she will become the overlord of the chess world in ten years. She will be stronger than Master Dongming of the Lanke Temple. She may even surpass the greatest Master Song Qian in the history of the South Jin Kingdom and become the legendary Chess Sage!"
"If she could become the Chess Saint, why would she be the Lady of Light?"
"Get out of the way! What if she runs away?"
The South Jin Kingdom chess master's angry roars kept ringing outside the temple. It was obvious that no matter how much he scolded or stomped his feet, the monks of the Lanke Temple would not allow him to disturb Ning Que and the others.
Ning Que thought that this fellow was really crazy about chess. He actually had the temperament of his fellow disciples in the back of the mountain of the Academy. He was a little angry that Sangsang might have been woken up, but now he could not get angry.
Mo Shanshan suddenly said, "Actually, I am very jealous of her, and also of you."
Ning Que was stunned.
"I know that you and Sangsang have had a hard time in the past. I am very jealous of the hardships you have suffered together." Mo Shanshan smiled and said, "I will quiet that person. Don't worry."
…
…
No one knew what Mo Shanshan said, but the South Jin Kingdom chess master actually did not insist on seeing Sangsang. The temple was quiet again. However, she did not come back to see the red leaves with Ning Que.
Ning Que knew what this meant. He felt a slight loss and then calmed down. He quietly looked at the branch that extended into the temple and the red leaves on it. He paid attention to Sangsang's movements in the temple.
There was a fan-shaped stone window on the white wall of the temple. It was used for ventilation and the view of the mountains outside the temple could be seen.
A young girl's face appeared in the fan-shaped stone window.
That face was cold and emotionless. However, because it was too beautiful, it was as charming as a flower that had been washed by dew. As such, it was an extremely beautiful scene in the stone window.
Because she was the princess of the Yuelun Kingdom, the Flower Addict, Lu Chenjia.
Ning Que looked at Lu Chenjia and raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not say anything.
Lu Chenjia looked at Ning Que through the window. Her fingers gently played with an inconspicuous yellow flower. She said indifferently, "I did not expect your handmaiden to become the successor of the Divine Priest of Light."
Ning Que said, "I am engaged to her."
Lu Chenjia's voice was cold and emotionless. She said, "How old is your wife?"
Ning Que said, "Sixteen."
Lu Chenjia shook her head and said, "She doesn't look more than thirteen or fourteen."
Ning Que said, "She had a very serious typhoid when she was young. She was not well nourished, so the root of the illness has not been cured. She looks a little thin and weak. She will be fine after two more years."
He had only met the Flower Addict a few times and were not familiar with her. They had even had an intense conflict in the Wilderness. Especially because of Prince Long Qing, it was impossible for them to become friends. He could have ignored her, but for some reason, he seriously explained Sangsang's illness.
Lu Chenjia asked softly, "Is her illness acting up again?"
Ning Que did not hide it and said, "Yes."
Lu Chenjia looked into his eyes and asked, "You came to the Lanke Temple to ask Master Qishan to treat her illness?"
Ning Que said, "That's right."
Lu Chenjia's expression finally changed. She asked in confusion, "Even the Headmaster can't cure her?"
Ning Que said, "Yes."
Lu Chenjia gently rubbed the thin stem of the yellow flower and said softly, "Aunt is having an afternoon nap. I was bored, so I walked around and said a few words to you when I saw you. I did not expect you to be willing to answer me."
Ning Que looked at her and said, "They say that you are crazy about flowers. Coincidentally, there is a Senior Brother in the Academy who also loves flowers. He is skilled in medicine, so I want to see if you have any solution for Sangsang's illness."
The medicine that Sangsang had been taking along the way had all been prescribed by Eleventh Brother, Wang Chi. Ning Que thought that since Senior Brother was skilled in herbs, then the Flower Addict might also be skilled in medicine. Although this deduction did not seem to make much sense, he could not care so much about it.
Lu Chenjia smiled faintly and said, "There is no friendship between us. We even have some grudges. Under such circumstances, you are actually willing to beg me. It seems that she is very important to you. "
Ning Que said, "Everyone has someone important to them."
"Yes, for example, Longqing to me."
Lu Chenjia looked into Ning Que's eyes and the smile on her face faded. She said indifferently, "Even the Headmaster of the Academy cannot cure her. Do you really think that Master Qishan can? The thought of you watching the most important person in your life die before your eyes is the best thing that can happen to me. "
Ning Que was not angered by her words. He looked at her calmly and said, "Because of what you said, if Sangsang's illness cannot be cured, I will kill Quni Madi, your father, the Emperor of Yuelun Kingdom, and everyone else in the world who means anything to you. Then, I will kill you and bury you with Sangsang."
Lu Chenjia's expression was cold, but she did not show any fear. She said indifferently, "Then you must first leave Tile Mountain alive."
Ning Que said, "There is no place in the world that can keep me."
Lu Chenjia's expression changed slightly. She looked at him and asked, "Are you really not afraid?"
Ning Que said, "What do I need to be afraid of?"
Lu Chenjia said, "You killed Master Dao Shi. Aren't you afraid that the high monks of Xuankong Temple will imprison you for a thousand years?"
Ning Que said, "If Xuankong Temple had the guts, the Academy would have ceased to exist long ago."
Lu Chenjia suddenly smiled and said, "But if the rumors are true and you are the Son of Yama, then I believe that both the Buddhism Sect and Haotian Taoism will kill you at all costs."
"So this is what you want to scare me about. Unfortunately, I am not. You all have no evidence to prove that I am."
Ning Que looked at her and said, "And I want to tell you something. Prince Long Qing lost to me in front of Red Lotus Temple a few days ago. He said that he is the Son of Yama."
After saying this, he turned around and walked into the monastery.
Hearing Long Qing's name, Lu Chenjia's expression became a little strange. She looked at Ning Que's receding figure without any emotion in her eyes. However, she used some strength in her fingers and broke the flower stem.
The pitiful yellow flower fell at her feet.
…
…
Ning Que helped Sangsang up from the bed and fed her the medicine. Then, he used the Great Spirit to sense the condition of her body. He confirmed that the poison she had been poisoned in front of Red Lotus Temple was basically gone. The cold aura seemed to have been temporarily suppressed by Ye Hongyu's Divine Light and was in a dormant state. It should not act up in a short period of time.
He knew that this was not a good thing. The longer the cold aura stayed dormant, the more terrifying it would be when it acted up. If he tried to suppress it forcefully, it would become more and more difficult. He had already used Ye Hongyu, who was now the Great Divine Priest of Judgment. Would he have to go to Zhishou Abbey next time?
Therefore, he could only pin all his hopes on the Lanke Temple, on Master Qishan, who was said to be like Buddha and would grant all his requests. At this moment, thinking of how he had been so tough on the monks of the Lanke Temple because of his anxiety at the Jumping Tiger Stream, he could not help but feel a little scared. How could he have shouted at a doctor before treating a patient?
"What is this?" Sangsang looked at the small brocade pouch in her hand and asked in confusion.
Ning Que said, "Master left me something. I used one at the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine. There is still one left. Take it with you. If anything happens later, tell me in your heart."
