"Since that's the case, let the spirit birds we raise send everyone back to the capital," said Wen Lingfei.
Hearing this, Zhu Minglang let out a long sigh of relief.
Everyone stood on the mountain plateau. A few female disciples of the Xuan Mountain Sword Sect brought over a few spirit birds with the bloodline of the Dragon Sparrow. They were saddled, a type of bird that was very comfortable to ride, but it was only limited to flying.
The Sect Master, Elders, Hall Masters, and the various noblewomen stood at the Sword Pavilion, watching the people of the Mount Ning Sword Sect leave.
But at this moment, a female sword nun hurriedly ran over and whispered something into Sect Master Wen's ear.
Zhu Minglang cursed inwardly!
They had been discovered!
How could they be so fast?
Most of the people were still at the Sword Pavilion. Which sword nun had nothing better to do at the Rotten Coward Ancient Tower?
"Zhu Minglang." Wen Lingfei called out to him.
Zhu Minglang immediately gestured to Nan Lingsha, asking her to take the others away first.
"Sect Master Meng invites you," said Wen Lingfei.
Zhu Minglang almost summoned his Stegosaurus and was about to fight these sword nun. But when he heard this, he used too much strength and almost fell off the spirit bird.
"It's late and I'm tired. I'll visit my mother another day," said Zhu Minglang.
"Sect Master Meng invites you to stay," said Wen Lingfei.
"But don't you allow men to stay overnight?" As Zhu Minglang said this, he had already secretly asked Little Bai Qi to hand the Ancient Lamp Jade to Nan Lingsha.
Zhu Minglang looked over and found that the Elders who were strongly against staying the night did not dare to say anything now.
It seemed that Meng Bingci's status in the Mount Ning Sword Sect was much higher. Those Elders still dared to object to Wen Lingfei's actions, but they did not dare to disobey Meng Bingci.
Zhu Minglang felt a headache coming on.
Why did it have to be now?
Although she was his biological mother, Zhu Minglang wasn't that close to her.
Forget it, I'll transfer the stolen goods away. Even if I'm discovered at night and they can't find the Ancient Lamp Jade on me, they'll insist that I didn't take it. At worst, I'll just stay here for a month and wait for Zhu Tianguan to pick me up.
"You guys go back first," Zhu Minglang said.
Nan Lingsha looked at him but didn't say anything.
Zhu Minglang smiled and said, "It's okay. They might not be able to keep me here."
…
After everyone left, Zhu Minglang returned to the Sword Pavilion. The noblewomen were very enthusiastic about Zhu Minglang. They seemed to want to talk to Zhu Minglang all night.
However, Zhu Minglang did not stay at the Sword Pavilion for too long. Wen Lingfei personally led the way for Zhu Minglang to the waterfall at the back of the Mount Ning Sword Sect.
"I don't think they've discovered it yet." Zhu Minglang secretly observed and found that the other party didn't question him.
Wen Lingfei wore a black veil and asked Zhu Minglang about Zhu Xuehen. Zhu Minglang hadn't seen Zhu Xuehen for a long time, so he answered perfunctorily.
Gradually, the sound of the waterfall could be heard. Some cool mist fell from the sky and wet Zhu Minglang's hair.
"If you walk forward, you'll see the waterfall house." Wen Lingfei pointed at a narrow path.
Zhu Minglang nodded and walked along the path.
Nan Lingsha should have taken the Ancient Lamp Jade down the mountain by now. Even if they were discovered, as long as they weren't caught red-handed, there was still room for negotiation.
Anyway, Zhu Tianguan was the one who came up with the idea. At most, she would push the blame to Zhu Tianguan.
The waterfall flowed down slowly from the misty mountains like a silver dragon. In the twilight, the waterfall scenery was indeed unique and beautiful. The spiritual source filled the slender waterfalls. Cultivating in such a place would naturally be twice the result with half the effort.
As he walked, Zhu Minglang saw a wooden bridge that crossed over a waterfall. And beside the bridge, there was a wooden house that was brightly lit. A young woman in a long white dress was guarding there. Her face was cold and arrogant.
Zhu Minglang walked over and glanced at this elder sister whom he had only seen a few times.
Her name was Meng Bingci. She was adopted and served by Meng Bingci. Meng Bingci treated her like a daughter.
Meng Hanwu looked at Zhu Minglang with an expressionless face.
Zhu Minglang walked over, too lazy to pay attention to this cold adopted sister. Since young, Zhu Minglang had spoken to her less than five times.
As he walked past her, Zhu Minglang felt that the frost on her cheeks could freeze him to death. He wanted to reluctantly greet her, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. They were all divorced families and didn't see eye to eye with each other.
Zhu Minglang walked towards the brightly lit house and saw Meng Bingci. She was standing in the hollow wooden corridor, looking at the gradually hazy waterfall in a daze.
Zhu Minglang didn't know how many years it had been since he last saw her, but her appearance didn't seem to have changed much. Most Swordsman pursued a kind of transcendence similar to the Immortal Dao, probably because of the nourishing spiritual mountain and spiritual water.
"What are you going to do with the divine jade?" Meng Bingci turned around and asked.
Zhu Minglang was shocked.
What's going on!
Those people from the Sword Garret didn't even notice that he had stolen the jade. How did Meng Bingci, who lived in seclusion under the waterfall, discover it? Does she have clairvoyance?
"To save someone." Zhu Minglang had no choice but to answer honestly.
Meng Bingci's expression was calm, and there was no intention of questioning in her words. It was as if she was just asking about some things, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"I can give you the jade …" Meng Bingci said.
"Huh?"
"Do something for me," Meng Bingci continued.
"What's the matter?" The fog in Zhu Minglang's head was no less than the fog in the waterfall.
"Go and find a son-in-law and become the husband of Princess Luo Shui," Meng Bingci said.
“？？？？”
Zhu Minglang suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Arranged marriage??
Why did he have to sell his own handsome and unrestrained beauty?
"The person I am saving is my wife," Zhu Minglang said.
"As long as you become the son-in-law of the princess, whether you are willing to be with Princess Luo Shui or not is your business," Meng Bingci said.
Get married first, then run away from the marriage??
This was too exciting!
Zhu Minglang felt that he couldn't bear it.
"Not very good. It's still against ethics," Zhu Minglang said.
"Then cultivate in this mountain for ten years. I will supervise you," Meng Bingci's words left no room for negotiation.
Zhu Minglang frowned and looked at his sister who was like a block of ice and then looked at his mother who was like an ice mountain. If he had to cultivate bitterly in this place for ten years, he might as well kill himself and be done with it!
"Let me think about it," Zhu Minglang said.
"If you become the son-in-law, the jade will belong to you. The Xuan Mountain Sword Sect will not pursue the matter of you stealing the jade." Meng Bingci laid out the conditions.
