As soon as Ning Cheng's words came out, the expression of the handsome man beside Ruan Mingshu changed slightly before he looked at Ruan Mingshu in doubt.
Ruan Mingshu was also slightly startled. She did not expect Ning Cheng to ask such a question. For a moment, she could not find the right words to answer Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was not in a hurry and still waited with a smile on his face. He did not want to disgust Ruan Mingshu, but to tell Ruan Mingshu. Cooperation is cooperation, don't use any honey trap or any gentle tricks to put on an act. You were so gentle in the Revolving Jade City, as if you were a couple. Why didn't you call me when you ran away?
If we want to cooperate, then just say it directly, don't use other means to fool me. I'm not a fool.
"I'll go to Lucky Heaven City first. If Junior Apprentice Sister Mingshu has something to say, just send me a message." Seeing Ruan Mingshu about to speak, Ning Cheng simply stopped in front of her. He just wanted to remind Ruan Mingshu not to treat him as a fool. As for how Ruan Mingshu answered, he did not care.
"Wait, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I have something to talk to you about. If you want, we can stay in the same room. "Ruan Mingshu called out to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng looked at Ruan Mingshu in surprise. He thought that Ruan Mingshu would step down, but he did not expect Ruan Mingshu to say such a thing.
The handsome male cultivator beside Ruan Mingshu, whose stiff expression suddenly disappeared, showed a relaxed smile and spoke, "Mingshu, I'll take my leave first."
Watching the handsome male cultivator walk out of the rest stop, Ruan Mingshu stared into Ning Cheng's eyes and spoke, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, if you are satisfied now, please follow me to my room."
Ning Cheng felt a little strange in his heart, but he did not care about it. He followed Ruan Mingshu to her room and found that Ruan Mingshu did not live in a double room, but a single room.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I know you must be blaming me for not telling you before I left. In fact, if I had delayed even a little bit, I would not have been able to leave. You should also be very clear about the horrors of the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat Tide. Even if I could take you away, I would not be able to reach the second floor. Moreover, I know that you would not come with me. "Ruan Mingshu spoke in a calm tone, as if Ning Cheng's words did not make her angry.
Not waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, she continued, "You are very good to your friends, although I do not know much about you, but I have spent some time with you. I knew that you wouldn't leave your friends behind and go with me, so I left on my own. Besides, even if you're willing to come with me, I don't have the ability to take you away. "
Ning Cheng did not come here to listen to Ruan Mingshu's explanation, but Ruan Mingshu's sincere and gentle explanation made Ning Cheng not know what to say.
"The person who just left is called Zhao Yanxiang …" Ruan Mingshu took the initiative to speak again.
Ning Cheng suddenly understood, "So it was him, I know. Manor Lord Ruan asked me to help keep an eye on him. I think he's the one they're talking about. "
Ruan Mingshu smiled, "My father thinks that I like him, that's why he said that to you. Actually, he likes me very much, and I don't have any antipathy towards him. That's all. Moreover, Senior Apprentice Brother Yan Xiang will also be coming with us to the Time Wilderness. "
"I don't care who else is coming with us. I just arrived here, so you need to tell me when to enter the Time Wilderness and how to get in. "Ning Cheng did not want to ask about these messy relationships.
Ruan Mingshu took out a jade strip and handed it to Ning Cheng before speaking, "This is a jade strip with a map of the Time Wilderness. Our Orchid Borough Celestial River's battleship was attacked by the starry skies' Spirit Devouring Rat Tide, and the Celestial River King suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. Therefore, our Orchid Borough Celestial River's participants, as long as you have a participation jade card, can enter the Time Wilderness once it opens. "
When Ning Cheng heard that the Orchid Borough Celestial River King had left, he immediately felt shocked. The Orchid Borough Celestial River King must have left because of Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu. Maybe he went after Imperial Concubine Xuan Yu. What should he do? In case the Orchid Borough Celestial River King caught up with Xuan Yu, regardless of whether Xuan Yu died or not, Jing Wuming would definitely die. Unfortunately, he could only worry about it. With his cultivation, he could not help at all.
"Striking Order Starry Skies has 12 Celestial Rivers, which is one of the smaller starry skies. This time, there are more than 300,000 cultivators entering the Time Wilderness, and many of them know about the Perpetual Moon Lake. Therefore, our chances are not very good. "After Ruan Mingshu finished her explanation, she quietly waited for Ning Cheng to ask.
Ning Cheng then realised that the Perpetual Moon Lake was not a secret of the Ruan Clan, but an open secret. What kind of cooperation was this?
"12 Celestial Rivers should have around 120,000 participants, how come there are already 300,000 participants? Also, my cultivation is still too low. If only the three of us form a team to enter the Perpetual Moon Lake, I estimate that we would not be able to find it. Not even our bones would be left behind. "Ning Cheng's tone revealed some disappointment.
Ruan Mingshu did not care about Ning Cheng's tone and spoke in a calm voice, "The Orchid Borough Celestial River is also a weak Celestial River within the Striking Order Starry Skies, with only 10,000 participants. Moreover, the other Celestial Rivers have far more participants than the Orchid Borough Celestial River. In addition, although many people know about the Perpetual Moon Lake, not many people know the exact location of the Perpetual Moon Lake. Therefore, although our chances are not high, we still have a higher chance compared to the others. "
"Okay, I got it. After the Time Wilderness opens, you can just send me a message. "Ning Cheng stood up after saying that.
Ruan Mingshu did not move and spoke up, "Don't you live here?"
"You only have one room here. Instead of you opening another room, it would be better for me to find a room by myself."
"A room, you can also sleep here."
Ruan Mingshu's words surprised Ning Cheng. Although Ruan Mingshu had used some tricks on him, he always thought that this woman was relatively conservative. What did she mean by that?
Ning Cheng found that Ruan Mingshu's expression was very serious, without even a hint of mockery or sarcasm. He frowned for a moment before speaking up, "I'll sleep here, what about you?"
Ruan Mingshu looked at the bed and spoke with a slight smile, "This bed is very big."
Seeing Ruan Mingshu's seriousness, Ning Cheng had to speak up, "Thank you, but I prefer to live in a room alone. If there is anything, just send me a message."
Whether Ruan Mingshu's words were true or false, Ning Cheng did not want to continue this hypocritical conversation with her.
Seeing Ning Cheng's departing back, Ruan Mingshu sighed and did not continue to speak. Instead, she took out a pot of wine and poured herself a cup.
Ruan Mingshu did not sit for long, when the handsome male cultivator who had left before appeared outside her room again. It was the Zhao Yanxiang that Ruan Mingshu had mentioned to Ning Cheng. Ruan Mingshu frowned slightly before putting away the wine. She then walked to the door and opened the restriction. Looking at Zhao Yanxiang standing at the door, she did not ask him to come in and sit down.
"Who is he?" Zhao Yanxiang did not enter the room and only asked those three words.
"He entered the Time Wilderness with us, and is a partner of my Ruan Clan." Ruan Mingshu did not hide it.
Zhao Yanxiang felt slightly relieved, "Junior Apprentice Sister Mingshu, you are too kind. Why would you give such a person any face? If he wanted to sow discord between us, you could have just said no. Why did you have to make him step down? "
Ruan Mingshu spoke up in a calm tone, "I did not say any empty words. I intend to keep him in my room."
"Mingshu, you …." Zhao Yanxiang's expression changed once again.
Ruan Mingshu did not explain anything. Zhao Yanxiang clenched his fists and spoke, "Why? Do you like him? What about me? Besides, even if you like him, with your personality, you would not let him live with you, would you? "
Ruan Mingshu looked at Zhao Yanxiang softly and spoke, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yanxiang, if you must say like, I like you more. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning is a good person, and I owe him. "
"You owe him, and you want him to stay here? What kind of logic is this? Besides, what do you owe him? "Zhao Yanxiang finally could not control his emotions.
"I don't owe him now, but I will soon owe him. Maybe, you will also owe him. "Ruan Mingshu shook her head, activated the restriction again, and slowly walked back to her room. She had her own principles. Ning Cheng had nothing to do with her. Moreover, after getting along with him, she understood that Ning Cheng was not a sinister person. She already wanted someone's life, so what was wrong with being a bit gentle and agreeing to other people's requests?
Back in her room, Ruan Mingshu took out the wine pot again. This time, she did not take out a wine cup. Instead, she took a few sips from the wine pot and murmured, "Maybe I'm not suitable to fight for anything in the starry skies."
Her father and her friends all thought that letting a stranger die was the right thing to do. However, she still felt guilty in her heart. If she could not compensate for this guilt, it would affect her cultivation.
… …
No matter what Ruan Mingshu meant, Ning Cheng did not continue to wander around Lucky Heaven City. Lucky Heaven City now had countless cultivators from across the starry skies. With his current cultivation, if he offended someone, it would not be enough.
Ning Cheng stayed in his residence. Apart from communicating with Wasp King Graceful Star, he continued to explore his Spiritual Consciousness. He wanted to use his Spiritual Consciousness to construct a complete set of offensive methods.
It's just that he didn't know much about the theoretical knowledge of cultivation. Every time, he would get stuck at a key point and have no way to explain it.
On the other hand, Wasp King Graceful Star grew very quickly. Almost all the medicinal pills Ning Cheng refined in the past ended up being eaten by it. This fellow even started to eat the starry sky crystals.
Time passed by quickly. Ning Cheng had already been in Lucky Heaven City for half a month, but he still had not received any message from Ruan Mingshu.
On this day, Ning Cheng was tempering his Spiritual Consciousness in his room in the rest stop when he suddenly heard a burst of screams and spacial fluctuations.
Ning Cheng had not entered the starry skies for a day or two, so he had a good understanding of the big cities within the starry skies. No fighting, no trouble. However, these screams and spacial fluctuations indicated a large-scale fight and disturbance. If not for the strong Celestial Essence fluctuations, he would not have heard anything from his room.
Ning Cheng immediately opened the restrictions and was about to go out to have a look when the rest stop's shop assistant quickly came up and stopped him, "Friend, two celestial river's cultivators are stirring up trouble outside. It's a big mess right now. You must not go out at this time, lest you get into trouble."
"Dare to cause trouble in Lucky Heaven City?" Ning Cheng asked. Wasn't Lucky Heaven City the premier city of Striking Order Star Land? How could they cause trouble here? But the fact was that tens of thousands of cultivators were fighting on the spacious streets, killing a large number of cultivators and destroying rows of buildings.
The shop assistant sneered, "You'll know soon enough."
