Chapter 40: Back to Mangocity

  Moreover, Ning City used five pellets of Gathering Qi to advance to the fourth layer of Gathering Qi, which shows how messy his spiritual roots are. It's simply pitiful.

  "Ning Cheng, your spiritual roots are so poor, why didn't you give the Gathering Spirit Pill to your cousin An Yi? Is your cousin's spiritual roots also as poor as yours?" Lu Xue had already directly called Ning Cheng by his name.

  Ning Cheng didn't mind, this world is very realistic. His spiritual root was poor and obviously had no future prospects. It's unrealistic to let a person who has condensed his Qi at the seventh layer call him Ning brother. This has nothing to do with whether he looks up or down on someone, in fact, people gather by class and birds of a feather flock together, this sentence applies anywhere. He was not in the same group as Le Bo Hong and Lu Xue.

  Now Lu Xue asked about An Yi, Ning Cheng hastily said, "My cousin is a pure wood spirit root, compared to yours it's much better. She went with her master since she was young and wasn't found until before her master passed away, by that time I had already finished my Gathering Qi Pill."

  If An Yi's spiritual root was any weaker, it's possible that Le Bo Hong and the others wouldn't have brought them to Ming Xin Academy. After being abandoned by him and his cousin in the Mang Guo Sea Domain, he really couldn't be sure if he could escape the pursuit of those forces from Mang Guo City.

  "An Yi Shimei, are you a pure wood attribute spirit root?" Lu Xue's eyes lit up as she asked immediately.

  It wasn't just Lu Xue's eyes that lit up, but the others were also looking at An Yi with envy. As a pure wood attribute spirit root, she had been taken in by Ming Xin Academy, and must have been personally selected by a master.

  An nodded and said, "Yes, I am a pure wooden main spirit root."

  Learning that An Yi is a pure wooden main spirit root, Le Bo Hong and the others became even more enthusiastic. However, this enthusiasm has shifted from Ning Cheng to An Yi.

  Ning Cheng didn't mind, as he had long known that this was a matter of course for a Pure Spirit Root.

  ……

  Ning Cheng followed Le Bo Hong and the others back to Mang City, it was already three days later. This was Ning Cheng's second time coming to Mang City, the first time Ning Cheng only stayed here for less than half a day before having to leave.

  This time he was also helpless, if he didn't follow Lebo Hong together, he simply didn't know what method to use to get to Mingxin College.

  Mango City remained the same, except that at the entrance of Mango City, there was an extremely short and stout man.

  "Ning Cheng, this man is called Miao Lihu, the master of the Wolf King's mansion. The one you killed, Miao Wenhong, was his son. I heard he is extremely protective of his family. You don't have to worry, there are people from our Mingxin Academy here, he won't dare do anything to you." Le Bo Hong, after finding out that Ning Cheng was only a miscellaneous spiritual root, and also younger than him, stopped calling him "Ning brother". However, he still remained polite, except for the change in address, everything else remained the same, it's unknown whether this had something to do with An Yi.

  No need for Leibo Hong to say, Ning Cheng already felt the strong murderous intent in this guy's gaze. Leibo Hong said that this person was Miao Wenhong's father, and it seemed that he had not misjudged him after all.

  "Was it you who killed my son Wen Hong?" Miao Lihu only gave a casual fist bump to Le Bohong and the others, before fiercely staring at Ning Cheng and asking.

  Ning Cheng's heart sank, he felt that Miao Li Hu seemed to have not taken Le Bo Hong and the others seriously at all. Moreover, Miao Li Hu's cultivation level was something he couldn't see through. Since he couldn't see through it, it was clear that Miao Li Hu was already a Condensing Reality Cultivator without a doubt.

  "Who is your son?" Ning Cheng said calmly, while thinking in his heart that if Lebo Hong couldn't help, what should he do?

  "My son is Miao Wenhong, he went to chase you and never came back. Didn't you kill my son? Leave your head behind to offer sacrifice to my son!" Miao Litou shouted loudly, taking a step forward, about to take action against Ning Cheng.

  Leibo Hong didn't expect Miao Lihu to look down on him, so he took a step forward, his face sinking as he said, "Miao Lihu, what do you mean by this? Is it that the Mingxin Academy is not even worth mentioning in your eyes?"

  Mu Lei Hu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Le Bo Hong and said, "I have always respected the Ming Xin Academy. Now my son has been killed, and the person who killed my son is not from the Ming Xin Academy. Does the Ming Xin Academy want to stop me from avenging my son's death?"

  Leibo Hong didn't expect Miao Litou, who had always been wary of Mingxin Academy, to dare to debate with him at this time. His face immediately turned red with anger.

  Lu Xue stepped forward and said, "Master Miao, you can kill Ning Cheng if you want, but I'm sure that if you do, within a month, the Wolf King's Manor will be abolished, and not a single member of the Miao family will survive."

  Lu Xue's words made Miao Lihu shiver, his hatred suddenly cooled down a lot. If the people of Ming Xin Academy were determined to protect this little guy named Ning Cheng, he couldn't kill him at all, unless he was willing to flee to the ends of the earth. But why did this little guy make the disciples of Ming Xin Academy take action?

  Mu Lihuo calmed down a lot, turned around and made a fist to Lu Xue, saying, "I, Mu Lihuo, distinguish between gratitude and grudges. This kid is not from the Mingxin Academy, I'm very clear about that. The Mingxin Academy can destroy my Wolf King Mansion with just one move, but they also can't ignore the distinction between right and wrong, can't act unscrupulously?"

  Lu Xue sneered and said, "No distinction between right and wrong, no talk of morality? Mu Fu's master, this sentence can be said by others, but when you say it, it slaps your own face. What kind of person is that precious son of yours? Who in Manggo City doesn't know? Can only let your son kill people, others can't kill your son, right?"

  After saying these few sentences, Lu Xue didn't bother to argue with Miao Lihu anymore and directly pointed at An Yi, saying: "She is the niece of Ning City. Do you know what she is in Ming Xin Academy? An Yi has a pure wood spiritual root. As a core disciple of Ming Xin Academy, I have every qualification to recommend her as a core disciple of Ming Xin Academy. So, An Yi is now equivalent to a core disciple of Ming Xin Academy. Ning City is her uncle. If you don't want the Wolf King's Manor and are willing for the Miao family to be destroyed, then go ahead and kill."

  Because Miao Lihu didn't give him any face, Leibo Hong's expression had already turned gloomy. After Lu Xue finished speaking, he didn't wait for Miao Lihu to respond and continued coldly, "Miao Lihu, don't think that this is Mang City, you're already a Condensing Truth cultivator, yet you're still so arrogant. I really haven't seen anyone like you before, if I use the name of Mingxin Academy to kill you now, I'm sure there will be many people coming after your head."

  Miao Lihu had completely calmed down by now, his hand clenched with veins bulging. But he was very clear that Leibo Hong wasn't lying, once he provoked the disciples of Mingxin Academy in Manggo City, there were many people willing to die for Mingxin Academy. As a Condensing True Cultivator, he really didn't amount to much. The Wolf King's Manor in Manggo City couldn't be considered as dominating one side. Even if he took a step back, no one would help the disciples of Mingxin Academy get ahead, Ning City had a pure spirit root niece, and he couldn't do anything to Ning City unless they killed together.

  Miao Lihu glared at Ning Cheng with a fierce gaze, but ultimately gave up on taking action and quickly disappeared into the streets of Mang City. Ning Cheng must be killed, but the method needs to be changed.

  Ning Cheng bowed his head to Le Bo Hong and Lu Xue in gratitude, but in his heart, he had also made a silent vow. He was determined to take control of his own destiny, for the feeling of being at the mercy of others was truly unbearable. At this moment, he had several hundred spirit stones on him, as well as a Golden Cicada Fruit - who knew that he couldn't advance to the Condensed Reality stage?

  "It's just a small matter, let's wait in Mangocity for a few days first, at most there are only a few more days, the airship going to Mingyizhen will pass by here." Lebo Hong said very casually.

  ……

  Ning Cheng and An Yi, under the arrangement of Le Bo Hong, also moved into the same inn as the people from Ming Xin Academy. Lu Xue occasionally went to find An Yi to talk, discuss cultivation, and pull relationships. After learning that Ning Cheng was a miscellaneous spiritual root, except for Le Bo Hong who occasionally came to chat with him, no one else came to find him.

  Ning Cheng had a clear understanding of himself and did not go to find Le Bo Hong and others to pull what relationship. He also didn't dare to practice in the resting station, and instead began to study array techniques. His array technique was already at the entry level, now he concentrated all his energy on studying array techniques, with the help of Xuan Huang's aura, his array technique level improved by leaps and bounds.

  That day Ning City was arranging a second-level attack formation when An Yi knocked on the door and came in.

  "Brother Ning..." An Yi had just called out when Ning Cheng waved his hand and said, "An Yi, from now on call me by my name or Brother-in-law."

  Where is there a cousin who calls her older male cousin "Ning big brother"?

  "Big brother, the spaceship has stopped outside Mang City. Lu Xue asked me to come and call you to board together."
