The Third Option
With the convenience of the system, Ning Qi could see through the attributes of these four people.
"Greedy Wolf Sect: Tuoba Dong."
"Greedy Wolf Sect: Tuoba Xi."
"Greedy Wolf Sect: Tuoba Nan."
"Greedy Wolf Sect: Tuoba Bei."
"Interesting. Is he Tuoba Dong's personal disciple or his subordinate?"
A hint of a smile flashed through Ning Qi's eyes. At least now he was sure that Tuoba Huan was not completely silent, which made him feel relieved. If the Greedy Wolf Sect had sent a stronger being to Dongxuan, Ning Qi would have had to escape to the Celestial Martial Continent to be safer.
"I wonder if this young master could give up this table?"
Ding Ling stood in front of Ning Qi and smiled.
Ning Qi shook his head and smiled, but he did not say anything.
Ding Ling's eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure. She glanced at Tuoba Dong and saw that he was expressionless. She immediately said to Ning Qi, "I am Ding Ling from Yunwu Inn. These four young masters are our distinguished guests. If you give me some face today, I will definitely return the favor in the future."
"Since your Yunwu Inn is open for business, there is no reason to chase away your customers. The things I ordered will be here soon. Please take these four young masters elsewhere to find a table."
Ning Qi smiled.
Everyone looked at Ning Qi with a different expression.
What a lad. This guy doesn't even give Ding Ling face?
"Is that so?"
Ding Ling's face immediately turned gloomy.
Seeing this, Tuoba Dong smiled faintly and said, "Miss Ding, there's no need to be angry. I'll deal with such a small matter. If Senior Brother Wenren knows that the four of us asked Miss Ding to help us find a seat, we'll be beaten up."
Hearing the words "Senior Wenren", Ding Ling's expression changed. Her eyes were a little blurred as she asked, "Is he well?"
"Senior Wenren is very well. He has successfully broken through to the early stage of the Battle Dan Realm. Thank you for your concern. Senior Wenren said that he will personally find Lady Ding and bring you back to the Greedy Wolf Sect."
Tuoba Dong smiled.
Early stage of the Battle Dan Realm?
When the diners on the second floor heard the news, they were all shocked. The senior of these four was actually an early stage of the Battle Dan Realm? Greedy Wolf Sect … What was the background of this sect?
Would that Battle Dan Realm expert personally come to find Ding Ling? The relationship between the two of them was probably not shallow!
Thinking up to this point, quite a number of quick-witted diners recalled that Ding Ling had been stationed at Misty Cloud Tower all these years. This Book of Life and Death couldn't be the handiwork of the Greedy Wolf Sect, right?
"He's coming for me!"
Ding Ling's face revealed a hint of surprise.
"You, either give up your seat or die."
Without waiting for Tuoba Dong to speak, Tuoba Xi, who was standing beside him, coldly looked at Ning Qi and said.
"Is there no third option?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Hmm?"
Tuoba Dong and the other three frowned slightly, as if they found Ning Qi's attitude strange. Their eyes scanned Ning Qi's body, but after a while, they realized that they could not see through his cultivation.
"There's something in Dongxuan that we can't see through? Does this person cultivate a special aura concealment technique? "
"That's most likely the case. Tuoba Xi, go ahead and test it out."
"Alright."
The four of them secretly communicated for a while. Tuoba Xi reached out his hand and placed it on Ning Qi's shoulder. However, before his hand could touch Ning Qi's shoulder, it froze in mid-air.
"The power of law!"
The four of them were shocked. Tuoba Xi's face was pale. His body immediately surged with the power of law, wanting to break the ice on his hand. However, he was shocked to find that it was completely futile. Tuoba Dong and the other two quickly performed their techniques. Three powers of law surged towards Tuoba Xi's hand at the same time. Only then did the ice show signs of melting.
"This person isn't a cultivator from Dongxuan. What is he doing here?"
"He might be here for the Book of Life and Death. Let's not provoke him for now. Master will be here in three days."
"Hmm!"
The customers of Cloud Mist Restaurant stared at the scene with their mouths agape. Ding Ling was also rather shocked. She knew that the four of them were not much weaker than Scholar of Heaven and Earth in terms of cultivation levels. In fact, they might even be stronger than him. Yet, they had actually suffered a loss in the hands of this inconspicuous young man?
"Miss Ding, this seat isn't very good. Let's sit at that table."
Tuoba Dong said faintly.
"Alright."
Ding Ling nodded subconsciously.
The customer at the table next to Ning Qi stood up with a bitter smile and turned to leave. Immediately, a waiter came to clean the table. Then, the four of them sat down. Before Ding Ling left, she took a deep look at Ning Qi.
Tuoba Dong and the other three glanced at Ning Qi from time to time. Ning Qi ignored their gazes and ate the hot dishes served by the waiter with relish.
"The signboard outside is just ordinary wood. There's nothing strange in the Misty Cloud Tower. Where is the Book of Life and Death hidden?"
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation. In a short period of time, his soul had already secretly conducted a thorough search of Misty Cloud Tower.
"Hmm, I see."
The corner of Ning Qi's lips curled up.
He knew where the Book of Life and Death was.
At this moment, in one of the rooms of the Misty Cloud Tower, a black sphere suddenly appeared in Ding Ling's hand. This sphere seemed to be made of gold, but it wasn't. Once it appeared, it emitted a faint aura of nomological laws. Ding Ling didn't know that a pair of eyes was staring at her. She touched the sphere and muttered to herself, "Your master will be coming to pick me up soon. You must be very happy, right?"
The sphere didn't have any life, so it naturally couldn't answer Ding Ling. However, a golden light suddenly flashed on its surface and condensed into two golden words.
"Ning Qi."
"The outside world thinks that he is already dead. If he is really dead, you wouldn't have revealed his name again."
Ding Ling touched the sphere and muttered to herself.
Previously, Ning Qi's name had appeared on the signboard of the Misty Cloud Tower. That was just Ding Ling deliberately mystifying things. She wanted the outside world to know who the Book of Life and Death was trying to kill. At the same time, outsiders wouldn't discover the true location of the Book of Life and Death.
Suddenly, a hand condensed in the void. Ding Ling stared at the sphere being snatched away by this hand that had suddenly appeared.
"Who!?"
Ding Ling stood up abruptly and looked around in fear.
At the same time, Ning Qi had already finished eating the dishes on the table and was about to leave.
At this moment, a few more figures walked up.
When Ning Qi saw one of them, he didn't plan to leave.
Scholar Heaven and Earth glanced at the second floor with a smile and found that it was already full. Zhongli Huatian, who was following behind him, pointed in Ning Qi's direction and said, "Ancestor, there's an empty seat over there."
Scholar Heaven and Earth smiled and nodded. He brought Zhongli Huatian to Ning Qi. "Little brother, you're the only one sitting here? How about the two of us sit with you? "
