Chapter Fourteen A Slap in the Face

  "Don't..." Ji Luofei's soul flew out of her body, she had just seen her aunt raise her hand and turn the two Qi Gathering Sixth Layers into dry bones. If Aunt continued to fight like this, wouldn't Ning City also become dry bones?

  Ji Yaohuo never intended to kill Ning Cheng, she felt that the relationship between Luo Fei and Ning Cheng was not so simple. Now that Luo Fei had intervened, she simply put down her hand, looking at Luo Fei with some dissatisfaction, "Luo Fei, this kid has bullied you like this, yet you still plead for him?"

  "Ji Luo Fei hastily said, 'No, now Ning Cheng is different from before, he didn't bully me...'"

  Ning Cheng sighed secretly, thinking that Ji Luo Fei was too honest. All she had to do was say that Yong Chang Yan was lying and it would be fine. Would Yong Chang Yan dare to argue with Ji Yao He? By saying this, wasn't Ji Luo Fei implying that Ning Cheng had bullied her in the past?

  "You indeed bullied me before." Ji Yahe didn't plan to kill Ning Cheng, but in her heart, she was extremely disgusted with him.

  "Eldest aunt, please help Ning Cheng. If he can't leave, he'll definitely be in danger if he stays here alone. Even if I leave this place, I won't have peace of mind."

  That man with a deadpan expression suddenly said, "Yaohe Shimei, let that Ning Cheng go test his spiritual root. If his spiritual root is not bad, then taking him away wouldn't be a big deal."

  "Go test Linggen." Ji Yahe said coldly to Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng knew that his spiritual roots were very poor, and the current situation was not something he or Ji Luo Fei could control. He could only walk to the front of the spiritual root testing artifact, stretch out his hand, and channel some true energy over.

  Three pale yellow fine hairs stopped at a distance of three feet, and there was no particularly thick light column in the crystal pillar.

  There is no main spiritual root, only three branch spiritual roots, and the branch spiritual roots are just slightly better than turbid yellow.

  Ning Cheng didn't mind, he knew his spiritual root was extremely poor. However, he had previously heard from Ji Luo Fei that he had a three-branch miscellaneous spiritual root, and it was turbid yellow. Now, although it was still a three-branch miscellaneous spiritual root, it wasn't turbid yellow, but rather yellow in color. He didn't know if the previous test was wrong or if Ji Luo Fei had remembered incorrectly.

  Ji Luo Fei was also astonished as she looked at Ning Cheng's spiritual root test results. She naturally knew what Ning Cheng's spiritual root was, a turbid yellow branch spiritual root. But how did the turbid yellow become yellow? She had never heard of spiritual roots changing before. Although in some legendary tales she had read about top-grade spiritual objects that could change one's spiritual root, those were after all top-grade spiritual objects and also just legends. Even on the Yi Xing mainland, it was uncertain whether such a spiritual object existed.

  "Luó Fēi, it's not that I don't want to help you. If I were to bring him along with me, even if we made it onto the ship, the steward would still make him get off, and might even implicate me in the process. Even for myself, I wouldn't be able to make it through Pingzhou and Yuánzhōu to Huàxīng Academy on my own." Ji Yǎo Hé sighed, looking at the somewhat dazed Ji Yǎo Hé.

  What she said was not nonsense. She is just a Yuanyuan realm cultivator who wants to cross the two continents alone to reach Huazhou, and the possibility of falling is extremely high.

  Ji Yaohuo reacted quickly, hastily putting aside the matter of Ning Cheng's spiritual root, and anxiously said, "Auntie, if Ning Cheng can't leave, I also can't leave. Why not take Ning Cheng away first, and I'll stay here..."

  "Hooliganism." Ji Yaohuo frowned and scolded, then turned around to stare coldly at the deans of Cangqin Academy and the king of Cangqin Country, saying in a calm tone, "If Ning City suffers even half an injury in Cangqin Country, I will definitely come back to kill you all and destroy Cangqin Country."

  Ji Yahe said that annihilating the Qingqin country was obviously a bit of an exaggeration, but the king of the Qingqin country, who had been warned by her, still stood up and bowed his fist to say, "Please rest assured, Ning City has always been my Qingqin country's child. No one will be unreasonable towards him. If someone is unreasonable towards him, I won't just sit back and watch."

  Ning Cheng's heart sank again, he had seen this kind of wordplay too many times. First it was Ji Yaohuo who played with him, and now the King of Cang Qin Country was playing the same game. Saying that no one would harm him without reason, meant that if a legitimate reason was found, anyone could harm him. Moreover, that guy only said he wouldn't sit back and watch, but who knew what "not sitting back" really meant?

  Ji Yahe nodded in satisfaction and turned back to Ji Luofei, saying, "Luofei, it's all right now. No one will harm Ningcheng."

  Ji Luo Fei's concern for Ning Cheng was obviously not just a simple threat like Ji Yao He's words. Upon hearing Ji Yao He speak, she anxiously said, "Auntie, they will definitely make things difficult for Ning Cheng... please help him..."

  Ji Yaohuo furrowed her brow even more after hearing Ji Luofei's words. In fact, she could sense that her niece seemed to have some extraordinary feelings towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was a mediocre cultivator from a miscellaneous branch of the third generation with a yellow spirit root, and had no prospects for this lifetime. If Luofei were to be with Ning Cheng, it would ruin her. Ji Yaohuo hadn't tested Luofei's aptitude, but since she was already at the third layer of Qi gathering before the age of 20, her aptitude shouldn't be too bad.

  At this time, she would rather die herself than let the people of Qin State kill Ning City.

  Ji Yaohuo could think of things, and the cunning Wen Qiluo could also think of them. It's just that it didn't concern him, so he didn't want to say much.

  Ji Yahe saw that Ji Luofei still wanted to speak, so she raised her hand and stroked Ji Luofei's body, causing her to immediately fall into a deep sleep.

  Holding Ji Luofei in his arms, Ji Yahe looked at Ning Cheng and said coldly, "No matter what relationship you had with Luofei in the past, it's all over now. From now on, you are not allowed to think of Luofei again, she has nothing to do with you."

  After finishing speaking, she said to Wen Qi Luo and another male cultivator, "Two senior brothers, I'll leave first and wait for you on the boat."

  Ji Yaohuo immediately took out a cyan lotus flower utensil and instantly disappeared with Ji Luofei here.

  Wen Qiluo had long been unwilling to continue wasting time selecting students, and this time it was already a huge harvest for him, finding a talented disciple. So as soon as Ji Yahe left, he said, "The selection of disciples at Cang Qin Academy will end here, the nine students who were selected on the scene can be given an hour to handle their own affairs. After handling it well, come here immediately to assemble. You are going to the Yun Xing Academy, and even I don't dare to confirm when you can return."

  The students who were selected were over the moon with excitement, quickly leaving the arena. They had to go back and prepare before leaving Qingqin Country for Huazhou. Huazhou was a legendary place adjacent to Zhongji Zhou, where spiritual energy was the thickest and various heavenly treasures were the most abundant. Moreover, they were going to the Five-Star Academy of Huazhou?

  This farcical selection conference ended in such an absurd manner, it would be better to say that the people from Xingxing College came and took away a few students who had already been selected by Cangqin College. The tens of thousands of students at Cangqin College were left with no choice but to disperse.

  Ning City knew that now the only one he could rely on was himself. Fortunately, it was time for dismissal, and Ning City squeezed among the many students, hastily walking towards the outside of the college. He had to leave as soon as possible. The guarantee of the King of Cang Qin Country was like farting, he absolutely wouldn't believe it.

  "Ning Cheng, where's your ugly girl? Why do you look so anxious, like a dog that's lost its home?" Just as Ning Cheng had stepped out of the gates of the Azure Qin Academy, a piercing and mocking voice rang out.

  "Gu Fei, what do you want to do? Have you forgotten what Luo Fei's aunt said? The two teachers from Meteorite Academy haven't left yet." This time it was a female voice, and Ning Cheng had already seen that the one speaking for him was Zhuang Shijie. At the same time, he also knew that the one mocking him was Gu Fei. Thinking of the grudge between Gu Fei and Ji Luo Fei, as well as Gu Yi Ming, Ning Cheng knew it wouldn't be easy to resolve things peacefully. By now, he had already seen Gu Yi Ming walking towards him with a gloomy face.

  Gu Fei was not tall, at most only reaching Ning Cheng's chin, but the expression on his face was extremely arrogant and ferocious, clearly if he didn't kill Ning Cheng, he would never give up.

  "Zhuang sister, this might be a grudge between Gu Fei and Ning Cheng, perhaps they want to settle it through the dueling platform. For people like us, it's not good to intervene, is it?" Gu Yi Ming had already walked over, he had been staring at Ning Cheng ever since he was brushed aside.

  Gu Fei listened to his brother's words, and his eyebrows rose as he said, "That's right, ugly girl Ji is ugly, but she dared to cheat me out of my Qi-gathering stone. I gave her a Qi-gathering stone in the first place just to get her into bed with me, but she turned against me. Now that ugly girl Ji is not here, we can only find this Ning person."

  "Hey, Gu Fei, that ugly girl Ji is so ugly, you dare to want her?" A strange and sarcastic female voice came over, Ning Cheng recognized this woman as the one who had caused trouble for him with Lu Pengyun before, only to be chased away by Zhuang Shijie.

  "I was hoping that even with the lights off, it would be the same..." Gu Fei's words were not yet finished when he heard a loud slap, and his face had already been slapped by Ning Cheng. After slapping him, Ning Cheng quickly retreated several steps.

  Gu Fei's several teeth were knocked out along with a mouthful of blood that sprayed from the corner of his mouth.

  At this moment, almost everyone was stunned. Ning Cheng, such a coward, actually dared to hit Gu Fei? And it was a direct slap in the face?

  Gu Yiming's face was darker than ever, but he didn't step forward. He knew that Ning Cheng had only managed to land a sneak attack, and if they really started fighting, his younger brother Gu Fei could easily take down Ning Cheng in an instant.

  Gu Fei reacted instantly, his face filled with murderous intent as he charged towards Ning Cheng, "You dare to ambush me? I'll kill you, you bastard."

  Ning Cheng looked at Gu Fei with disdain and said, "You dare to kill me? Come on. Just now, the King of Cang Qin issued an order that anyone who dares to kill me without reason will not be forgiven. Are you not even putting the king's words in your eyes? If our Cang Qin country is like you, how can we talk about hierarchy and defending against foreign enemies?"

  Gu Fei suddenly stopped, enlightened by Ning Cheng's words. Ning Cheng was someone he had to kill. What Ning Cheng said was right, the king had promised in front of many people that he would not kill Ning Cheng without reason. But what if he had a reason?

Although there aren't many words, many friends are raising it, but new books still long for collection and recommendation votes to support them. Collection is actually just adding the book to the bookshelf, so you can find the book directly from the bookshelf later.)
