Chapter 188: Friend or Enemy
"Junior Sister Ning! You are finally back!" Xia Ran held Ning Ruoxi's hand, her face filled with joy.
Ning Ruoxi's eyes fell on Nan Chengwen, and Nan Chengwen touched his nose awkwardly. The two had just finished talking in the afternoon, and in the evening, Nan Chengwen didn't keep his mouth shut and revealed the fact that Ning Ruoxi was back.
After Xia Ran learned about it, she immediately found Ning Ruoxi.
"Senior Brother Nan, who else did you tell about my return?" Ning Ruoxi asked Nan Chengwen.
Nan Chengwen quickly raised his right hand and held out three fingers, "I swear, I really only told Junior Sister Xia, I didn't even tell Senior Brother."
"Well, Senior Brother Nan, I'm not joking. You really don't want to reveal my whereabouts to others."
Seeing Ning Ruoxi's serious tone, Nan Chengwen also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Junior Sister Ning, don't worry, I will never reveal another word."
"Yeah."
"By the way, Junior Sister Ning, what is your current level of cultivation?" Nan Chengwen asked.
Ning Ruoxi replied: "The late stage of the Tribulation."
"Hiss..."
These four words fell on the hearts of Nan Chengwen and Xia Ran like a thousand pounds.
Nan Chengwen didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh, "I really didn't expect that Junior Sister Ning's talent is so high. If you ask me, Junior Sister Ning is very likely to ascend to immortality!"
"Thank you for your good words, senior brother!" Ning Ruoxi replied humbly.
Ning Ruoxi planned to wait until Dong Huaqing returned to Xiandao Sect before revealing her whereabouts, but she had to be careful and subtle during the process.
When they have nothing to do, Nan Chengwen and Xia Ran will come to Ning Ruoxi for advice on cultivation issues.
…….
The sect competition is on.
Hua Jianyue glanced at Nan Chengwen beside him and asked: "Junior brother Nan, I see you are in a good mood recently. What good things have happened?"
Nan Chengwen suppressed his talkative heart and said, "Nothing, Senior Brother, who do you think will win the sect competition this time?"
The sect competition is an arena competition between the disciples of the Immortal Dao Sect, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the disciples for cultivation and to test the disciples' cultivation achievements.
Those with excellent rankings can receive treasures and spiritual stone awards, and can even become apprentices to senior sect officials, etc.
It is an opportunity for ordinary disciples.
Hua Jianyue rolled her eyes at Nan Chengwen, "Your eldest disciple won the first place in the sect competition last year. I don't believe he can win the first place this year."
"Oh? What if he wins first place?"
"If he wins the first place again, I will triple your salary."
"This is what you said yourself, senior brother."
“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”
The two senior brothers were arguing, while the elders on the side were covering their mouths and laughing.
After seeing this, Hua Jianyue sent a message to each elder, "You are also here. If your disciple wins the first place in this sect competition, the salary of everyone in your lineage will be increased five times."
< br>
"Elder brother, you are partial, why do I have three times the price?" Nan Chengwen said dissatisfiedly.
"Are you not convinced? Let's practice?"
"Forget it..."
"Why is it so lively?" Dong Huaqing's figure descended from the sky. Nan Chengwen and Hua Jianyue quickly saluted Dong Huaqing and said, "Meet the Master!"
The surrounding elders also saluted Dong Huaqing and said: "Greetings to the Supreme Elder."
Dong Huaqing waved his hand, "No need to be polite." "Listening to what you guys are talking about, I also miss the sect competitions of the Immortal Sect in the past."
"At that time, you two often dominated the rankings! It's a pity..."
Speaking of this, Dong Huaqing couldn't help but feel sad. All his brothers and sisters of the same generation died, and things have changed and people have changed.
Hua Jianyue consoled her: "Master, our Immortal Dao Sect will definitely become famous in the Southern Region."
"Don't talk about being famous in the Southern Region, we want to be famous in Zhongzhou in the future." Nan Chengwen also said.
The back and forth between the two made Dong Huaqing feel much better, "Then I'll just wait."
"Master, I have something to ask you. Can you come with me?" Nan Chengwen asked Dong Huaqing.
"What's the matter?"
"Master, follow me!"
When Hua Jianyue saw the two leaving, she didn't understand why Nan Chengwen was so mysterious, but now that the sect competition needed him to be in charge, he didn't leave.
Nan Chengwen took Dong Huaqing to the back mountain of Tianxiang Peak. Dong Huaqing knew him on the way, and he came to Nan Chengwen's cave.
"You kid, just tell me what you want to do. Why are you so secretive?"
"Master, someone wants to see you!" Nan Chengwen pointed to his cave inscription and at the same time transmitted a message inside: "Junior sister Ning, my master is here."
The moment Dong Huaqing returned to Xiandao Sect, Ning Ruoxi noticed it, so she asked Nan Chengwen to lure Dong Huaqing over.
"Oh?" Dong Huaqing saw the door of the cave opened and went in to investigate. Nan Chengwen stayed at the door of the cave and did not enter.
"Ning Ruoxi!" Dong Huaqing looked at Ning Ruoxi in surprise.
Ning Ruoxi didn't say anything. She used her mind to pay attention to Dong Huaqing's attitude towards her. She wanted to know whether Dong Huaqing would harm her.
"Why did you suddenly disappear last time?" Dong Huaqing asked Ning Ruoxi with concern. His expression of concern did not seem to be fake.
"Uncle, did my ancestor mention me to you after I left?"
Dong Huaqing shook his head, "No, the ancestor didn't say anything."
"Ning Ruoxi, is there anything you and Ancestor are hiding from me?"
There was no way his mind could be wrong. Dong Huaqing could not hide the good and evil in his heart so well. Ning Ruoxi no longer worried and immediately said: "The ancestor may want to kill me."
"How could it be? Last time in the secret realm, if my ancestor wanted to kill you, he would have done it long ago?" Dong Huaqing asked doubtfully.
On the surface, it seemed that Su Jianbai didn't attack Ning Ruoxi because she was a disciple of the Immortal Dao Sect. In fact, Su Jianbai wanted to use Ning Ruoxi to fish.
He didn't believe that Ning Ruoxi's master was dead, and thought he could find out something by sending the demon winged dragon to monitor Ning Ruoxi, but the demon winged dragon was thrown away by Ning Ruoxi.
Su Jianbai has lived for so many years, how could he be soft-hearted because Ning Ruoxi is a disciple of the Immortal Dao Sect? If he really cared about the Immortal Dao Sect, he would have done something after learning about the Immortal Dao Sect's decline.
The reason why Dong Huaqing was not killed was that Dong Huaqing did not threaten his interests and Dong Huaqing was not in his plan.
Ning Ruoxi stared into Dong Huaqing's eyes, "Uncle, please don't tell me about my affairs in the Immortal Sect."
"Okay."
Dong Huaqing replied.
Even after saying this, the meaning he conveyed to Ning Ruoxi through telepathy was still the same. Dong Huaqing had always been kind to Ning Ruoxi.
"Uncle, when you return to the secret realm next time, can you take a tour of the secret realm and see if there is anything special in the secret realm?" The last time Ning Ruoxi entered the Tianxuan secret realm, there was nothing but the starry sky.
