"What's your name?" Ning Cheng stopped this female cultivator who looked somewhat similar to Luofei and asked.
The female cultivator stared at Ning Cheng cautiously and took a few steps back before speaking, "Who are you? I've never seen you before. "
"My name is Ning Cheng. It's normal that you haven't seen me before." Ning Cheng replied. When he met Xiong Qihua, this female cultivator wasn't even born yet.
After hearing Ning Cheng's words, the female cultivator immediately looked at Ning Cheng in shock. She opened her mouth wide for a while before speaking up, "You're Ning Cheng? That's right, no wonder you look so familiar. Are you my elder sister Luofei's Dao Companion? What about my elder sister? "
When Ning Cheng heard this female cultivator's words, he understood that Xiong Qihua must have told her a lot of things and even let her see his portrait. But now that he had a beard on his face, it was normal for her not to recognise him.
Hearing this female cultivator ask about Luofei, Ning Cheng didn't know how to answer for a while.
This female cultivator didn't wait for Ning Cheng to answer at all. She pulled Ning Cheng and said, "Brother-in-law, come in with me. I have something to tell you."
Ning Cheng was surprised by this female cultivator's strong ability to get familiar with things, as well as this kind of casual action. However, he soon felt relieved. Living in this place, how could there be something like Princess Syndrome? Presumably, she was a completely different type of person from Nalan Ruxue, who suffered from princess syndrome.
"I forgot to tell you. My name is Zhu Nianfei." Zhu Nianfei pulled Ning Cheng into a simple rest stop next to them. She then raised her hand and threw a middle-rank spirit stone to the shop assistant. "I want a private room. You don't have to give me the change."
The shop assistant silently took the spirit stone and thought to himself that it was just a middle-rank spirit stone. Whether it was enough or not was a completely different matter. Why would I even need to give you the change?
Ning Cheng saw a flash of pain in Zhu Nianfei's eyes, but he didn't point it out. Instead, his spiritual consciousness directly fell into Zhu Nianfei's storage bag. In her storage pouch, there were two low-grade spirit stones, as well as some low-grade spirit herbs that could not be any more low-grade. In addition to that, there was also a broken middle-rank artefact. Apart from the broken middle-rank artefact, the middle-rank spirit stone should be the most valuable thing she had. Yet, she used it to entertain guests.
The things in Zhu Nianfei's storage bag didn't match her cultivation. With the cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level, it was reasonable to say that he should not be this poor. Ning Cheng thought back to when he was at True Condensation 1st Level, when he was much richer than Zhu Nianfei. The spirit stones were in the tens of thousands, and they were all high-grade spirit stones.
After entering the private room, Zhu Nianfei activated the private room's restrictions and then poured a cup of tea for Ning Cheng.
The tea in the booth wasn't even the lowest-grade spiritual tea. Ning Cheng understood that Zhu Nianfei didn't have any extra spirit stones to buy spiritual tea.
Seeing Ning Cheng take a sip from the teacup, Zhu Nianfei hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, why did you come to this place? Is my sister here too? "
Ning Cheng paused for a moment, and then spoke, "Your sister has not come yet, I came here to help a friend take something back."
"Brother-in-law, my mother said that you are not simple. You must be doing very well, right? I cannot see through your cultivation, are you about to reach the Essence Building Realm? Is my sister's cultivation the same as yours? Where are you? " Zhu Nianfei didn't feel the slightest bit unfamiliar with Ning Cheng. When she talked to Ning Cheng, it was as if he was her own family member. He casually threw out a bunch of questions.
About to reach the Essence Building Realm? Ning Cheng coughed and thought to himself, I'm a middle-stage Life and Death expert. If you can see through my cultivation, would I still be able to live? As for Essence Building Realm, he didn't know how long ago it was.
"I also wandered around and lived as a wanderer for a while. Later, I finally found a place to settle down, and Luofei should be going back soon. "
Zhu Nianfei didn't think too much about Ning Cheng's words. In her mind, Luofei and Ning Cheng should be living together. It's just that her sister went out to look for resources, and her brother-in-law came here to get something.
As for her sister going out to look for resources alone, it was normal for her. She had lived like this and lived like this. Didn't she need to look for resources by herself for cultivation? As for danger, wasn't there always danger in cultivation?
"Um, I just saw a green-robed woman slap you, and I saw that you looked a bit similar to Luofei, so I came over to see …." Ning Cheng could see through Zhu Nianfei's temperament. She was a very direct person.
Zhu Nianfei touched her face in embarrassment and said, "It's nothing. It's not the first time. I owe them spirit stones, and there's no way to pay them off. It's only right for me to get slapped. "
"How many spirit stones do you owe them?" Ning Cheng asked in doubt.
"More than fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones …." Zhu Nianfei sighed.
Ning Cheng looked at Zhu Nianfei in disbelief, "How could you owe so much?"
Ning Cheng wouldn't even bend down to pick up more than fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones if he threw it on the ground. But for Zhu Nianfei, who could only take out a single middle-grade spirit stone, it was a huge sum of money that she couldn't repay in a lifetime.
"My mother got seriously injured in the Lost Mountain Range and needs a lot of healing pills. I don't have any extra spirit stones to buy medicinal pills, so I can only borrow them. My father has to take care of my mother, so only my brother and I can pay back these spirit stones. "Zhu Nianfei said helplessly.
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept towards Zhu Hongwen, who had already reached the Essence Building 3rd Level. Just as Ji Luofei said, Xiong Qihua's injuries required the help of True Essence from time to time. Otherwise, her meridians would rupture, turning her into a complete cripple. Zhu Hongwen most likely stayed by Xiong Qihua's side to help her.
"Do you have a younger brother?" Ning Cheng asked casually.
Zhu Nianfei nodded, "Yes, my younger brother's name is Zhu Nianluo. He entered the Lost Mountain Range."
"Then you called me here and even spent a middle-grade spirit stone. Do you have something to talk to me about? If you don't have enough spirit stones, I still have some here. "Ning Cheng asked. He guessed that Zhu Nianfei wanted to borrow spirit stones from him.
Zhu Nianfei hesitated for a while before speaking, "Yes, I originally had this plan. But now that I know that you and big sister are also in a difficult situation, I'll forget about borrowing spirit stones."
When Ning Cheng said that he was a wanderer and had just found a place to settle down, Zhu Nianfei immediately dispelled the idea of borrowing spirit stones from Ning Cheng. They at least had a place to settle down, while Ning Cheng had just found a place to settle down.
This place wasn't the Tian Continent, and she didn't know about Ning Cheng's fame. She took it for granted that Ning Cheng was just like them and had a hard time. She also didn't know that the place Ning Cheng mentioned was a celestial river within the starry sky and not a simple immortal cave in a makeshift market.
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to speak, Zhu Nianfei continued, "I came here to explain one more thing to you. When my mother got injured, she told me that if I could see you one day, I must apologise to you. The reason why my mother lied to my big sister back then was because she really didn't want to be separated from my big sister. "
After that, Zhu Nianfei stood up and bowed to Ning Cheng before sitting down again. "Brother-in-law should know that my mother's name is Xiong Qihua. In fact, my mother and my father were lovers before she married my big sister's father. It's just that the Ji Clan is too powerful, and my grandfather didn't allow my mother to be with a grassroots person like my father. So, he decided to marry my mother to the Ji Clan. My father didn't feel at ease with my mother, so he followed her to the Ji Clan and became a servant. "
Ning Cheng frowned slightly. He didn't like people like Xiong Qihua. Moreover, he also didn't like Zhu Hongwen.
Zhu Nianfei didn't notice Ning Cheng's expression and continued, "Although my father was my mother's servant, he never crossed the line. It wasn't until the Ji Clan fell that they moved to the Ping Continent. In the Daan Forest, the entire Ji Clan perished, and my father desperately tried to protect my mother as she escaped. It wasn't until my mother learned of Ji Xuanzhang's death that she and my father lived in seclusion in the Daan Forest. As for the rest, my mother said that you already know.
Whether you and my big sister see my mother or not, I've already brought these words to you. Thank you for listening to my long-winded words. I'm leaving now. "
"Boom …." Zhu Nianfei had just stood up when the restrictions around the box exploded. The shop assistant from before stood at the door of the box, and behind him were two people. One of them was the green-robed woman who slapped Zhu Nianfei before, and the other was a middle-aged man with brown hair.
Ning Cheng had already seen the three people coming up, but he didn't speak. Since Zhu Nianfei owed someone spirit stones, he guessed that this person was here to collect the debt. As for how much she owed, he would help her pay it back.
"It's time for you to replenish your spirit stones. The time limit for a middle-rank spirit stone has already passed." The shop assistant pointed at Zhu Nianfei and spoke.
Fear flashed across Zhu Nianfei's face, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "I've calculated the time. It should be just the right time."
The shop assistant sneered, "That's because you've just arrived. As long as we exceed the time limit by even a breath, it will be calculated as the second spirit stone."
"You …." Zhu Nianfei almost became speechless from anger when she heard such unreasonable words. However, her patience was truly unparalleled. She instantly adjusted her anger and spoke with a soft tone, "I'm really sorry. I didn't know that there was such a rule. Please allow me to go back and find a way."
The shop assistant still wanted to speak, but the green-robed woman directly walked to the front and sneered, "Zhu Nianfei, do you think that we're easy to bully? You came to the rest stop's box with spirit stones, yet you say that you don't have spirit stones to pay us back? "
"Sister Xia Xuan, I really don't have spirit stones. My brother-in-law came over today, so I took out my only middle-rank spirit stone and invited my brother-in-law to the rest stop to have a chat. Sister Xia Xuan, please give me a few more days. I will definitely raise some spirit stones to pay you back. " Zhu Nianfei spoke with sincerity. If Ning Cheng didn't know that this green-robed woman had slapped Zhu Nianfei, he would have thought that Zhu Nianfei and this green-robed woman had a good relationship.
"A few more days? How many more days have we given you? Why don't you go to a place where you can earn spirit stones? "The green-robed woman spoke with disdain.
Zhu Nianfei spoke up with even more sincerity, "Sister Xia Xuan, I won't go to the Dual Cultivation House even if I die. Sister Xia Xuan, please rest assured that I will definitely raise some spirit stones to pay you back. "
"Bitch, you only know how to find excuses to drag ….." The green-robed woman raised her hand and slapped Zhu Nianfei again.
