As soon as Ning Qi walked out of the room, he saw He Li standing not far away, looking at him. She smiled and nodded at him as a form of greeting, then prepared to leave.
This time, with ten thousand Primal Pills in his stomach, he finally broke through the bottleneck of the early Golden Immortal stage and entered the middle Golden Immortal stage before the Immortal Ascension Assembly.
The Immortal Ascension Assembly was going to start tomorrow. Ning Qi was afraid that he would miss the Golden Pill of Crossing Immortality, so he came out of seclusion a day earlier. Seeing that Ning Qi was about to leave, He Li's eyes filled with despair. Just then, Ning Qi suddenly felt that something was wrong and stopped in his tracks. Seeing this, He Li's eyes once again filled with a pleading look. However, she did not dare to speak because she could feel the spiritual energy from Ning Qi's body.
He was much weaker than the turtle riding old man of the South Sea.
"Little girl, do you want this old man to personally invite you?"
The sinister voice of the tortoise riding old man from the South Sea rang out again.
Hearing this voice, the corners of Ning Qi's mouth slightly rose. It was truly a small world. He hadn't expected that this old thing would also participate in the Immortal Ascension Assembly.
Ning Qi had some guesses about Heli's current situation. He smiled and walked in front of Heli. "This island is a little big. Take me out for a stroll."
"Alright!"
He Li's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and an indescribable feeling rose in her heart. This way, she wouldn't have to face that old senior again.
"Fellow Daoist, she wants to help me tidy up my room. Don't tell me you don't understand the principle of first come first served?"
The old man walked out of the room and looked at Ning Qi with dissatisfaction. At the same time, he was secretly sizing up Ning Qi. He found that Ning Qi didn't look familiar and was just an intermediate Golden Immortal. Immediately, a plan came to his mind. His face revealed a hint of arrogance as he stared at Ning Qi coldly.
A look of panic flashed in He Li's eyes as she subconsciously hid behind Ning Qi. When the old man saw this, he became even more displeased. His gaze towards He Li was already filled with a hint of malevolence.
It just so happened that a few of He Li's colleagues noticed that she hadn't returned after a long time, so they quietly hid in the distance and watched. When they heard the words of the turtle riding old man from the South Sea, their expressions immediately changed.
Tidy the room!
How could they not understand the meaning behind these words?
"That old senior seems to have taken a liking to Haley!"
"Holly doesn't seem too willing!"
"What should we do? Why don't we inform Steward Lin? "
"Are you trying to kill Haley? Steward Lin had always been fawning over these seniors. Back then, how many sisters had been personally given away by Steward Lin? If he finds out about this, He Li will not have a good ending! "
"Wait a moment. That Young Master seems to be standing up for He Li!"
The girls subconsciously looked at Ning Qi with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Ning Qi smiled and glanced at the old man's room. With a strange expression, he said, "So it's a woodshed. I see that it's clean and tidy inside. There's no need to clean it up, right?"
"What happened to the woodshed?"
The turtle riding old man from the South Sea suppressed his anger. "Which family's disciple are you from? Let's see if I know your master! "
"You don't have to worry about which family I'm from. A mere Grand Luo doesn't have the right to be acquainted with my master, does he?"
Ning Qi said with a mocking smile.
A mere Grand Luo?
The turtle riding old man's expression changed slightly. The way he looked at Ning Qi became fearful once more. However, if the woman he fancied was taken away by Ning Qi just like that, would he still have any face left?
Before coming here, he already knew that he had more than a dozen friends in the All Heavenly Talisman's friend list who came to participate in the Immortal Ascension Assembly. If they knew that he was disrespected by a mid-stage Golden Immortal, wouldn't they laugh at him for a thousand years?
At that thought, the turtle riding old man from the South Sea smiled coldly. "So your master is a Profound Immortal mighty figure. I've been disrespectful. However, even a Profound Immortal mighty figure must abide by the rules and etiquette. For the sake of your master, I'll overlook your rudeness today. Leave now!"
"Thank you, senior. Let's go."
Ning Qi smiled, grabbed He Li's arm, turned around, and left.
"How dare you!"
The turtle riding old man from the South Sea could no longer hold back his anger. With a flash, he blocked Ning Qi's path. His turtle quickly crawled out as well, glaring at Ning Qi.
He Li was so frightened that she shrunk her head and was about to cry.
Ning Qi, on the other hand, looked at the turtle riding old man indifferently. "Let me give you a piece of advice. You're already of age, so don't harm other people's girls. If you want to clean up your room, let your turtle do it. If you want someone to warm your bed, let it do it."
The women hiding in the distance could not help but burst into laughter when they heard that.
The turtle riding old man from the South Sea turned around and glanced at them. His gaze was extremely terrifying, like that of a devil. Instantly, they kept quiet out of fear, turned around, and ran.
If they did not run, they might even lose their lives.
"What are you guys doing in such a hurry?"
A gloomy voice sounded.
When the women heard that, they looked up and saw that there was an extremely cold middle-aged man in front of them. There were even a few guards behind him.
"Steward Lin …"
The women said fearfully.
Steward Lin glanced in the direction of the turtle riding old man and Ning Qi. He was attracted here by the turtle riding old man's shout.
"Get lost and do your work. Don't be lazy!"
Steward Lin waved his hand and then walked toward the turtle riding old man.
When the women saw that, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They had just lifted their feet when they put them down again. They looked at each other and hid in the distance with tacit understanding, looking in the direction of Ning Qi and the others.
"Brother South Sea, why didn't you inform me that you came to the island this time?"
Steward Lin laughed as he walked.
When the women heard that, their expressions immediately became extremely ugly. So Steward Lin knew that old man? Didn't that mean … He Li was in danger?
After seeing Steward Lin, He Li's face instantly became extremely pale.
"Brother Lin?"
The turtle riding old man turned around in surprise.
"What? I haven't seen you for only five hundred years. You don't recognize me? "
Steward Lin glanced at Ning Qi and He Li with a faint smile, then smiled at the turtle riding old man.
"Why wouldn't I recognize you? I just didn't expect to meet Brother Lin here. Brother Lin, are you here for the Immortal Ascension Gathering as well? "
The turtle riding old man asked curiously.
"That's not it. I'm now working in the Taichu Chamber of Commerce, so this little green bamboo building is under my management. What trouble did Brother South Sea encounter? You can tell me. "
Steward Lin smiled as he looked at Ning Qi.
When the turtle riding old man heard that, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then, he smiled sinisterly and told the story.
