Chapter 88: The Hard Jade Seal

  Ning Cheng could sense that the black-clothed woman had suffered a serious injury, but fortunately her healing medicine was quite good and her injuries were already recovering.

  "Are you feeling better?" Ji Luofei saw Ning Cheng come out, and his complexion was much better than before. She hurriedly stepped forward to support him, asking with surprise and delight.

  "It's much better, I think in two days we can leave this place." Ning Cheng looked at Ji Luofei and smiled.

  If it weren't for studying that jade seal, he might have left by now.

  Ji Luofei suddenly remembered the black-clothed woman and hesitated to say to Ning Cheng, "She was surrounded by people and seriously injured. Now she has nowhere to hide and can only return to Sha Bei Town. She doesn't dare enter the inn in Sha Bei Town. She happened to see me passing by here, so..."

  Ning Cheng finally understood that he hadn't misjudged her, this woman was indeed a troublemaker. The medicinal pellets on her body didn't know where they came from, and it was likely that she had revealed her wealth and was being targeted by others. With her only having gathered spirit cultivation, she casually took out the Yiling Dan for a stranger she met for the first time, and sooner or later, she would be targeted by others. Ning Cheng didn't care about these things, but that didn't mean others wouldn't care.

  Now this woman in black has indeed encountered trouble, Ning City didn't even need to ask, he could guess that this woman must have been showing off her elixir somewhere else again, and something happened. This woman looked deep and clever, but was actually a bumpkin. Moreover, a woman with such a fiery figure, going out into the world, still wearing tight-fitting clothes to show off her figure, clearly had no experience at all.

  "This big brother, I'll stay for at most two days. As long as you take me in for two days, my injuries will recover and I can escape." The black-clothed woman saw Ning Cheng furrow his brow, and she no longer had the same disdain as when she first met Ning Cheng. She had already seen clearly that between Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei, it was Ning Cheng who held the power.

  Ji Luo Fei looked at Ning Cheng with anticipation, hoping that he would take in the black-clothed woman. One reason was that the black-clothed woman had healing medicine on her person. Of course, when this woman had given them the medicine to heal their wounds for no reason, although Ning Cheng hadn't wanted it, Ji Luo Fei's heart still felt extremely grateful. She was a person who repaid kindness.

  Ning Cheng nodded, "Alright, you stay here for two days, after two days, we will also leave this place."

  "It's really great, thank you so much. My name is Zhu Muer, but I don't know what your names are yet." The black-clothed woman immediately became happy when she heard that Ning Cheng was willing to take her in for two days.

  "You can just call me Luofei." Ji Luofei hastily replied.

  "My name is Ning Xiao Cheng, Luo Fei. Take Zhu Mu Er to the room on the far right and let her rest for a bit. I'm going into seclusion for two days." Ning Cheng didn't want to get too close to this Zhu Mu Er, and at the same time, he wanted to go into seclusion to study that jade seal.

  As for taking in Zhu Muer, Ning City was not worried. With Zhu Muer's cultivation, being able to escape here safely meant that her opponent was nothing special. Now he had recovered his cultivation and his strength was even more powerful than before. Even if Zhu Muer's opponent came looking for him, he would be unafraid.

  "Do you want to go into seclusion?" Zhu Muer looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. In her eyes, Ning Cheng was just a sickly person. A sickly person dared to talk about going into seclusion? Fortunately, she still knew that she was seeking refuge and didn't dare say anything else since Ning Cheng didn't respond.

  Ji Luo Fei felt that Ning Cheng didn't like Zhu Mu Er very much, so she quickly took Zhu Mu Er to the room on the far right of the house and warned her not to disturb Ning Cheng.

  "Luò Fēi little sister, don't worry, I don't even have enough time to recover from my injuries, let alone bother your brother. Thanks for taking me in, when I'm free, I'll take you to play at my place." Zhu Mù ér's suspicion came quickly and left just as fast.

  After arranging Zhu Muer, Ji Luofei returned to Ning Cheng's room again, "Ning Cheng..."

  Ning Cheng interrupted Ji Luofei's words, "Luofei, from now on just call me Ning Xiaocheng. The woman named Zhu Muer didn't come, and I didn't tell you either. The dan medicine that Zhu Muer casually took out in the carriage was top-grade third-level Yiling Dan, which shows that her background is not ordinary. We two are both people without a backing, try to minimize contact with this kind of person."

  "Uh-huh, I see." Ji Luofei nodded and walked closer to Ning Cheng, grabbing his wrist. She wanted to check if Ning Cheng's injury was getting better.

  Ning Cheng patted Ji Luofei's hand, "Luofei, my injuries have basically recovered, don't worry about me. I wanted to talk to you about this, these next few days I will be in closed-door study researching some things, you should also seize the time to cultivate."

  Ning Cheng said that his injuries were much better, and Ji Luofei was overjoyed. She hastily replied, "I know, you go ahead and meditate in seclusion first, I'll come again when you emerge."

  ……

  After Ji Luo Fei left, Ning Cheng arranged a few hidden arrays in the room before taking out that jade seal.

  The outside of the jade seal was a faint gold color, very delicate, but it felt heavy in his hand. Ning Cheng had also seen some pictures of jade seals before, and generally, on top of a country's jade seal, there were dragon-shaped jade carvings. However, on this jade seal in his hand, only a flying bird that Ning Cheng didn't recognize was carved, and below the bird was a small cube with the words "Lan Wei True Country" engraved on its base.

  Ning Cheng touched the four words "Lan Wei Zhen Guo" with his hand, but didn't feel anything special. His divine sense scanned onto the jade seal, but couldn't scan inside it.

  Ning Cheng tried to use his divine sense to refine the jade seal, but after half a day had passed, the jade seal didn't have even the slightest reaction. It seemed that this wasn't a magical artifact.

  If it weren't for the law enforcement, Ning Cheng would definitely be able to infuse his divine sense into this jade seal, but his divine consciousness just couldn't penetrate it.

  Ning Cheng drew out his long spear and with a single True Yuan, he thrust it at the jade seal.

  The long spear struck the jade seal, and the sound it emitted was like hitting a defeated drum, without any crisp response. The jade seal didn't move at all, let alone open it, not even a single mark existed.

  What a hard jade seal, this hardness is absolutely a treasure. Ning City took the jade seal in his hand again and began to refine it.

  Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ning City's jade seal did not change in the slightest, still motionless. Ning City listlessly put down the jade seal in his hand, he simply had no way to open this jade seal.

  Helpless, Ning Cheng could only put the jade seal away again and open the door.

  "You've come out of seclusion, I'm leaving now, just in time to say goodbye. Thanks again this time, although those people thought I didn't return to Shabu Town, I still appreciate your help."

  Zhu Muer and Ji Luofei were already sitting outside talking, seeing Ning Cheng come out, Zhu Muer took the initiative to stand up and greet him. The veil on Zhu Muer's face was gone, revealing a delicate melon-shaped face, paired with a pair of large eyes, which made her look elegant and beautiful.

  "Well then, I wish you a smooth journey." Ning Cheng said hastily.

  "Hey, don't be in a rush. You guys said you're leaving too, right? Where are you headed? If it's on the way, we might as well go together."

  Without waiting for Ning Cheng to respond, Zhu Moer continued, "I'm going to the Meteor Five-Star Academy in Mozhe City this time. However, I need to go to Xiqin City first to take a flying ship. If you're heading to either of those places, we can travel together."

  "What are you going to Meteorite Academy for?" Ning Cheng had originally planned to go to Meteorite Academy first, and then head to Qingyun Academy. Now that Zhu Moe was so coincidental, he happened to be heading to Meteorite Academy as well, which made him even more cautious.

  Zhu Muer glanced at Ning Xiaocheng again, "Ning Xiaocheng, if I were you, I would have taken my own sister to Mozhe City long ago. This time, the Five-Star Academy recruitment in Mozhe City is for the upcoming Five-Star Academy Competition. Of course, I'm going there to participate in the recruitment and then enter the Five-Star Academy to prepare for the competition. Your qualifications are ordinary, but I think Lu Fei's qualifications are quite good. Although her cultivation is not enough to participate in the competition, she has a chance to enter the outer court of the Five-Star Academy. You're bringing Lu Fei to this place where birds don't even leave droppings, never striving for progress, and can only stay at the bottom forever."

  Ning Cheng glanced at Zhu Muer, who had a clear and beautiful figure, and said, "Miss Zhu must be from a wealthy family. We and Luo Fei are not worldly people, although we also want to go to Moze City, but our journey is slow. Miss Zhu can go first, and we will follow slowly."

  Jing Cheng swept his gaze over Ning City's fiery tight clothes, and Zhu Muer's face rarely turned red. "Wait," she said before quickly entering the room.

  It wasn't long before Zhu Muer came out again, this time wearing a ordinary woman's long dress. Then she looked at Ning Cheng with a pleased expression and said, "Now you shouldn't have any pressure on you, right? I'm just angry that my dad says I'm too spoiled and willful, and that I rely on others too much, so I want to come out and do something to show him. When he sees me being selected by the Five Star Academy and getting a high ranking in the Grand Competition, he'll know that I, Zhu Muer, am not what he thinks."

  Ning Cheng finally understood, it turned out that this Zhu Muer had run away to prove herself as the eldest sister. This old man of Zhu Muer's actually has good eyesight, he didn't misjudge his own daughter at all.

  "I'll take you to Mozhe City, it will only take a few days at most. If you go by yourself, who knows how many months it will take." Zhu Muer saw Ning Cheng looking a bit dazed and said with a proud smile.

  Ning Cheng put his mind at ease, since that was the case, he might as well follow Zhu Mochen to Mozecity. In Huazhou, flying with a sword was much more dangerous than in Pingzhou.
