The Autumnfrost Dao Companion left with the group of itinerant cultivators.
After that, he sent a message-transmitting flying sword to the Hollow Void Island in the Endless Sea. After that, his figure flashed and he left Seven Apricot City.
He wanted to go to the Ning Family in Hai Ning immediately to avoid meeting Yun Ruowei. Before he goes to the Middle State, there were some questions that Ning Fan hoped to answer.
His traveling light was extremely fast, traversing millions of miles in just a few moments. He passed through the Realm Locking Grand Formation and appeared in the territory of the former Wu Country.
In Hai Ning City of Yue Country, Ning Fan landed beside the Jade Pond River which was as green as jade.
There were a few fishing boats on the Jade Pond River. Some woodcutters came down from the Jiebi Peak in the distance. They were all mortals and they were singing Wu songs.
He had left Wu Country for more than fifty years. When he heard the accent of his hometown, he felt a little nostalgic.
There was once a mortal young man who carried a bamboo basket on his back. He walked past the Jade Pond River and entered Ning Bi Peak time and time again to pick herbs.
In the Ning Bi Peak, that young man had saved Miss Qing of the Ning Family and offended Young Master Tian of the Ning Family …
In Hai Ning City, the young man was adopted by Ning Daniu and spent thirteen years with Ning Gu …
The blood feud in Wu Country had been avenged and Haining had become a memory …
"Young man, are you a foreigner who just came to Hai Ning? Are you lost? "An old woodcutter asked enthusiastically when he saw Ning Fans startled expression.
"Thank you, I know the way."
He cupped his fists and bowed to Woodcutter before turning around and walking towards Haining City.
Hai Ning City had a thousand-year history in the Wu Country. The ancestor was named Ning Honghong. She took in many war orphans and established the Ning family.
The reputation of the Ning Family was quite good. Ordinary cultivation clans would rarely come into contact with mortals. The Ning Family abided by the teachings of their ancestors and adopted some mortal orphans every year. In the past, Ning Fan was picked up by someone.
When Ning Fan took revenge, he only killed Ning Tian and the others did not pursue the matter. In the end, it was because he felt grateful towards the Ning Clan.
Perhaps the Ning family did not treat him well, perhaps his foster father Ning Daniu did not treat him and Ning Gu well, but the grace of raising them was a grace that could not be erased and could not be forgotten.
He spread out his Grand Virtual Realm Divine Sense to cover an area of 400,000 miles.
Every single blade of grass and every single tree in Hai Ning's territory entered his eyes. None of them noticed that Ning Fan was inspecting them.
In the temple of the Ning Clan, the third ancestor of the Ning Clan was respectfully receiving a lady. When Ning Fan saw her, he smiled faintly.
That lady was none other than Yun Ruowei. Fortunately, Ning Fan was not late and would not have met her. Presumably, he would be able to get some answers after meeting her.
He did not immediately look for Yun Ruowei. At this moment, she seemed to be asking Ning Fan's three ancestors about some important matters. He was very sensible and did not want to disturb her.
He walked to the pine forest outside Haining City and sighed when he saw a cottage that had been abandoned for many years.
This cottage was the place where Ning Fan and Ning Gu used to live in the past. However, after more than fifty years of neglect, it no longer existed …
He took a step forward and appeared on Ning Bi Mountain. Stepping on the thick, withered leaves, he walked on the familiar yet strange mountain path.
He had once followed this path and entered the deepest part of the Ning Bi Peak. He was not afraid of the wolves in the mountain and had collected many rare spiritual herbs …
In the depths of the mountain, the wolf demons noticed Ning Fan walking past them. Each of them crouched on the ground and trembled in fear.
Even the wolf king who had an Early Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivation base crawled in front of Ning Fan and stuck out its tongue like a puppy, showing an extremely respectful look. It did not dare to disobey Ning Fan at all.
Mortals might not know about Ning Fan's cultivation base but these wolf demons could instinctively sense how terrifying he was.
Ning Fan squatted down and patted the wolf king's head. Then, he stroked its silver back and smiled faintly.
"Do you still remember me?"
"Awoo …" The only response that Ning Fan got was the wolf king's puppy-like howl.
"You don't remember me but I still remember you. In the past, those few good-for-nothings wanted to peek at Miss Qing while she was bathing. I discovered them and they chased after me. I lured them to the depths of the mountain and it was you who ate them and helped me block a calamity … I have a bottle of Third Revolution Pills here. After you consume it, you can condense your demon core as soon as possible and become a Gold Core Realm demon wolf … "
Ning Fan took out a bottle of pills and passed it to the wolf king. The wolf king showed a human-like expression of excitement and snuggled on Ning Fan's lap like a puppy while barking happily.
"Awoo …"
"However, you have to promise me that you won't bite the mortals who enter the mountain to gather herbs … It's fine if they are cultivators. After all, if they enter the depths of the mountain, I'm sure they are already prepared to fight against all of you. Their life and death will be up to the heavens …"
"Awoo …" The wolf king promised Ning Fan. From then on, it would no longer harm any mortals.
"Mm. I'm leaving. Little fellow, could it be that you are a she-wolf? Why are you so clingy … "Ning Fan patted the wolf king's head and smiled faintly. Then, he turned around and left.
"Awoo …" The wolf king howled bitterly. It was really a she-wolf.
Ning Fan arrived at the Extreme Clarity Pond of the Ning Bi Peak. In the past, Miss Qing was prepared to bathe here. If it wasn't for Ning Fan's reminder, she would have already fallen into the devil's claws …
"Everything started from here. If I didn't save her with the intention to repay her kindness, I wouldn't have offended Ning Tian and I wouldn't have stepped onto the path of devil cultivation … However, I don't regret it. If I was afraid of those few young cultivators and didn't care about the safety of my benefactor, then I wouldn't be Ning Fan … The path that I have taken is my Dao. I will never regret it …"
Ning Fan muttered to himself while walking towards the Extreme Purity Pool.
Before he even got close to the edge of the pool, he already heard the sound of rippling water.
Then, he saw a lady in a green dress sitting beside the Extreme Purity Pool. Her embroidered shoes and stockings were taken off to one side and the hem of her dress was slightly lifted. She dipped her feet into the cool water of the pool and gently stirred the water.
The lady looked at the Extreme Purity Pool. Her eyes were filled with longing. There was a hint of gratitude in her longing but there was also a hint of helplessness in her gratitude.
"If it wasn't because of him in the past, I would have been humiliated by the evil thieves at the edge of the Extreme Purity Pool … When he was in trouble, I didn't know about it and I couldn't save him. Because of that, he was sold to the bandits and ended up in Yue Country, stepping onto the path of devil cultivation … I owe him a favor but I will never be able to repay him …"
This lady was the young lady of the Ning Family – Ning Qingqing.
Ning Fan was slightly stunned. He did not expect to meet this lady at this place and time. He could not help but sigh when he heard her words that revealed her true feelings.
"Who is it?! Who's peeping?! " Ning Qingqing suddenly heard someone's sigh. She jumped to her feet in alertness and took out her flying sword while scanning her surroundings with vigilance.
"It's me, Ning Fan."
Ning Fan walked out of the sparse forest leaves and approached the Extreme Purity Pool. Then, he smiled at Ning Qingqing.
As soon as she saw that the person who came was actually Ning Fan, Ning Qingqing was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. Then, she wore a terrified expression and hurriedly greeted him. "Ning Qingqing of the Ning Family greets Marquis White Robe …"
"Miss Qing, do you really want to be so distant with me? Don't you want to repay my favor? How do you want to repay me? "Ning Fan teased her. His eyes purposely glanced at Ning Qingqing's bare feet.
Ning Qingqing blushed. Knowing that she was being rude, she immediately put on her silk stockings and embroidered shoes. Inwardly, she felt a little helpless … Could it be that he heard everything I said to myself just now?
She calmed herself down and lowered her head slightly. Then, she answered Ning Fan. "Qing Er's cultivation base is low. I know that I don't have the qualifications to repay Marquis White Robe's favor. It's impossible for me to help Marquis White Robe with anything. Just now, Qing Er was just speaking nonsense in a secluded place. What I said can't be taken seriously. I hope Marquis White Robe won't be calculative with me. "
"I won't be calculative with you. However, I really have something that I need your help with … I wonder if Miss Qing can bring me to Ning Daniu's grave to have a look?" Ning Fan stopped smiling. His expression was a little sentimental.
He could never forget the kindness of raising him up. No matter what happened in the past, Ning Daniu was still his benefactor.
Even though there were graves for the servants of the Ning Family to be buried in after they died, there was no tombstone for them to erect … It was very difficult for Ning Fan to find Ning Daniu's grave among the tens of thousands of desolate graves in the north of Hai Ning City.
Even though he asked this question, he did not really expect Ning Qingqing to know the answer.
To his surprise, Ning Qingqing was only stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately agreed. "Since Marquis White Robe has given his order, how would Qing Er dare to disobey? I'll bring Marquis to Ning Daniu's grave right now."
"Oh? You actually know where a mortal's grave is? "Ning Fan was slightly surprised.
"En … I happen to know …" Ning Qingqing's face was slightly red, but fortunately, her back was facing Ning Fan and he didn't see it.
"It's just a coincidence …" Ning Fan sighed again.
As a cultivator and the proud daughter of the Ning Family in Haining, Ning Qingqing would never care about the information of a mortal servant.
Ning Fan was not a fool. The reason why Ning Qingqing would pay attention to Ning Daniu was mostly because of him.
This woman claimed to be repaying a debt of gratitude, but that didn't mean that there were no feelings behind it …
The two of them turned into streaks of light and quickly arrived at a barren cemetery.
Countless mounds were piled up on the ground, and within each mound must be the remains of a mortal.
Ning Qingqing led Ning Fan around the graves in a well-practiced manner and stopped at one of the countless graves.
That was Ning Daniu's grave. Although there was no tombstone, Ning Qingqing remembered it very clearly.
At the edge of the desolate grave, there were still remnants of candles and fruit plates …
Ning Fan smiled bitterly. Ning Daniu did not have any relatives and he was just a servant. He did not even have a tombstone after his death. He was afraid that no one would pay their respects to him.
Ning Qingqing was probably the only one who would worship him …
"Thank you." Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out some Incense Spiritual Fruits, placing them in front of Ning Daniu's grave.
"Why are you thanking me …? I didn't do anything …" Ning Qingqing's eyes were evasive.
"You've saved me twice and I've saved you once. You don't owe me anything and you don't have to pay me back. In fact, I owe you a favor. Tell me, what is your wish? I can fulfill it. "
"I've saved you twice?" Ning Qingqing obviously did not remember these past events.
"Yes. So you don't owe me anything. I owe you. Tell me, do you have any wish? As long as it's not too much, I will certainly fulfill it."
"Wish, huh …?" Ning Qingqing gently bit her lips and revealed a thoughtful expression. She really did not have any wish.
She raised her head and looked at Ning Fan. Suddenly, her face blushed. She had a wish, but this wish was too extravagant …
"I don't have a wish …" She lowered her head and sighed.
"Is that so? Then you can tell me when you've thought it through. The Ning Family seems to be very lively today. Is there a distinguished guest? "
"Yes. A Nascent Soul Realm senior has come. I heard that he is a cultivator from the Southeastern Cultivator Alliance …" Ning Qingqing answered.
"Let's go and meet this Nascent Soul Realm senior. They seem to have finished their discussion. I haven't seen her for many years … What about you? Are you going to the Ning Family's temple with me or continue playing in the water here?" Ning Fan teased.
"I'm not playing in the water …"
"Since you don't want to play in the water, then accompany me to have a look."
Ning Fan smiled faintly. He used teleportation and carried Ning Qingqing to the outside of the Ning Family's temple.
Yun Ruowei had already finished her discussion with the three ancestors of the Ning Family. She just walked out of the temple with a disappointed expression.
All of a sudden, her face was filled with surprise. She realized that a young man in white robes and a lady in green dress had appeared outside the temple unknowingly.
"It's been many years, Miss Yun." Ning Fan's lips curved into a smile.
"I-It's you!" As soon as Yun Ruowei saw Ning Fan, her face immediately showed a look of disbelief.
She already knew that the little Harmonious Spirit Realm young man in the past had already become the famous Marquis White Robe in the Rain World!
When they first met, he had just achieved the Harmonious Spirit Realm while she was a Nascent Soul Realm old demon of the Lan Ruo Temple. She could easily eliminate this young man but she was teased by him using a bewitching technique.
When they met again, he was still at the Harmonious Spirit Realm but his name had spread across Great Jin and his abilities were astonishing …
Now that they met again after fifty years, he had already become an unreachable great figure who could shake heaven and earth …
For a moment, Yun Ruowei did not know what to say.
"I heard that you're looking for a piece of blue jade? What kind of jade is that? "Ning Fan suddenly asked.
In the past, when he met the third prince of the Rain Palace, Yun Bushu, he had also asked about the blue jade …
Now, Yun Ruowei was actually also looking for the blue jade … What exactly is the blue jade?
"I don't know what the blue jade you're talking about is …" Yun Ruowei did not say it but Ning Fan could read her mind with his Mind Reading Technique.
Blue jade … Blue Bridge Jade … It was an ancient ornament in the cultivation world. In ancient times, every piece of Blue Bridge Jade that was mined could be forged into two jade pendants.
The jade was divided into two pieces. Only Dao companions who were in love would wear each other's pendants.
Once they make a vow to the blue jade, they would be able to sense the location of the other jade holder no matter how far they were from each other and eventually find them.
What Yun Ruowei was looking for were the two pieces of blue jade that once belonged to Yun Tianjue and Ning Qian … Yun Tianjue's piece of blue jade had been destroyed. To be more precise, Yun Ruowei was looking for Ning Qian's jade!
Ning Qian was her elder sister. As long as she finds the jade, she would know where her elder sister was! Yun Ruowei knew that Ning Qian was not dead but she could not find her.
That was the answer in Yun Ruowei's heart …
"Yun Tianjue … Ning Qian …" Ning Fan was stunned. If Yun Tianjue and Ning Qian each had a piece of blue jade, they were Dao companions?
If Ning Qian was his mother, then Yun Tianjue was …
"Do you need me to help you find the jade …?" Ning Fan asked with a frown. He remembered that he had seen in Ming Luo's dream that his surname was Yun …
In the past, Ning Fan did not care about his background. To him, it was the same whether his surname was Ning or Yun.
However, at this moment, he wanted to find an answer!
He wanted to unravel this mystery before he goes to the Middle State! (To be continued.)
