Chapter 55: How Could He Get Away

  Su Zhu pulled Ning Cheng's hand and turned several corners before entering a residential area. There were almost no students in sight, and Su Zhu suddenly pressed her body close to Ning Cheng.

  A woman's fragrance and softness approached, causing Ning Cheng to subconsciously give way a bit.

  "Why do you like me?" Su Zhu leaned in even closer, her tone taking on a slightly sticky quality.

  Although Ning Cheng had been in love before, he had never taken advantage of Tian Muwan. He could be said to have only understood the relationship between men and women without actually doing anything. As soon as Su Zhu came into contact with him, Ning Cheng, at this age of vigor and vitality, immediately felt a slight rise in body temperature.

  However, Ning Cheng immediately restrained himself and suddenly realized something in his heart. When he just saw Su Zhu, Su Zhu's face was a little red, with some remnants at the corners of her eyes, she should have just had an intimate relationship with a man. Ning Cheng didn't need to ask, he knew that Su Zhu was someone whose private life was extremely messy. While others were concerned about the selection of the Five-Star Academy, she was hiding in the room and having a private meeting with someone else.

  “Hmph……” She could sense Ning Cheng's unfamiliarity with this kind of thing, and Su Zhu couldn't help but chuckle to herself, her heart growing more and more itchy. Ning Cheng looked a bit worn out, with stubble on his face, yet he wasn't that old. Moreover, the slightly worn-out feeling about him was even more attractive to her, plus Ning Cheng's aura was extremely clean. She had met countless cultivators before, but none of them were as clean as Ning Cheng.

  Besides, she had never been with a pure and innocent man who secretly admired her from within. He was even the most attractive person in the Department of Elixir Refining at Mingxin Academy. If she established a relationship with Ning Xiaocheng, she could also find someone from the Department of Elixir Refining to refine some spiritual liquids for her.

  "Go to my room." Su Zhu's tone was somewhat urgent, and she couldn't wait any longer.

  Ning Cheng hastily said, "Right, Su Zhu Shijie, all the female disciples of Ming Xin Academy live on this side, don't they?"

  Su Zhu was clearly not paying attention to this topic and casually said, "No, from here go further inside..."

  She hadn't finished speaking when three people walked over, and Ning Cheng immediately felt a sense of joy. He had seen these three before - walking on either side were Lu Xue and Yong Gyun, while the one in the middle was surprisingly that linen-clad girl. Only now she wasn't wearing a linen dress, but rather a purple skirt.

  The three of them saw Ning Cheng and Su Zhan leaning against each other, and they were stunned.

  "It's you, Ning Cheng..." Lu Xue immediately exclaimed in shock. She was shocked because she knew some of the inside story about Ning Cheng's disappearance.

  Yong Yu Yun was even more shocked, she knew a bit more than Lu Xue, vaguely knowing that Ning Cheng's disappearance was because Lan Yin Yue had pushed Ning Cheng off the airship. Ning Cheng was at the fourth layer of Qi gathering, thrown down from high altitude, it was undoubtedly fatal, why was he still here?

  The two of them put aside even the fact that Ning Cheng and Su Zhan were leaning against each other, just because Ning Cheng was still here.

  The skirted girl's face showed a surprised expression when she saw Ning Cheng. She felt somewhat guilty towards Ning Cheng, and later had her brother look for him, but he was never found.

  She had already heard her brother say that Ning Cheng wanted the pair of pearl flowers because he missed his sister. But she simply liked them, and her liking took away his longing for his sister. Moreover, she also heard her brother say that this person would never see his sister again.

  "You're here too?" The girl in the linen dress exclaimed with surprise and was the first to greet Ning Cheng.

  Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun reacted after hearing the words of the skirt girl, their faces changed at the same time, and they immediately went forward to hold the skirt girl. Yong Gu Yun said urgently, "Yueying Shijie, how do you know him?"

  Ning Cheng heard the words of Yong Gu Yun, and only then did he understand that the two pure hetero-spirited geniuses who appeared in Ming Xin Academy were actually this Buqun girl and her silly brother. Since she was called Yueying, then her brother must be called Yuanyuan.

  Su Zhu saw Lu Xue and Yong Yu Yun, her face slightly pale, then immediately let go of Ning Cheng, calling out, "Su Zhu has seen Senior Sister Lu Xue, has seen Senior Sister Yong Yu Yun."

  Yong Yu's face was gloomy, and he didn't even bother to acknowledge Su Zhu. Lu Xue, on the other hand, spoke in a cold tone, "Su Zhu, you should leave first, this doesn't concern you. If you want to find Ning Cheng, wait until his matters are settled before going to look for him."

  Su Zhu glanced at Ning City, then bowed slightly to Lu Xue and Yong Yu Yun before quickly walking away from the side.

  Yongyu Yun was also a cultivator of the Eight Layers, but she didn't have divine sense, and Lu Xue's cultivation was even lower. Neither of them knew that Su Zhu hadn't gone far at all, but had just turned a corner and hidden behind the wall. Ning Cheng had divine sense, but he didn't waste it on sensing Su Zhu.

  As Su Zhen walked far away, Yong Gu Yun spoke softly to Yue Ying and said, "Yue Ying Shimei, do you know who that woman was just now?"

  Yue Ying looked puzzled and shook her head, wondering who the person was who just walked away and what relationship they had with her.

  "She's a wanton from the Ming Xin Academy, and there are countless men in the academy who are unclean beyond compare. You know this person named Ning Cheng, he loves to be with beautiful women. Previously, our academy's An Yi Shimei almost got deceived by him. Fortunately, An Yi Shimei recognized Lu Xue in time, which avoided a disaster. Otherwise, my Ming Xin Academy's pure and innocent disciples would only have three left. So, he must have an ulterior motive for getting close to you, don't be fooled by his sweet words." Yun Gu Yun said bluntly in front of Ning Cheng.

  In the eyes of Yonggu Yun, Ning Cheng was far from handsome. He could deceive An Yi into being deeply infatuated with him simply because of his eloquent words. From this perspective, Yueying Shimei might also have been deceived in a similar way. As for Ning Cheng and Su Zhu being together, it's because they were originally the same kind of people.

  Lu Xue nodded in agreement and added, "Gong Yun's words are true, Su Zhu indeed has countless faces."

  Lu Xue looked at Ning Cheng and said, "Ning Cheng, to be honest, I didn't have a bad impression of you before. But after seeing this scene today, I'm really disappointed. Su Zhu's eyes are shining with tears, and her face is still flushed - don't even try to say that nothing happened between you two. Everyone knows what's going on, and I didn't want to bring it up. However, I really don't want you to have any contact with An Yi. You know in your heart that you and An Yi are two different kinds of people."

  Su Zhu, who was hiding on the side, turned pale and trembled all over when she heard this. She and Ning Cheng were indeed clean and white. When she found out that Ning Cheng liked her, she was really excited in her heart. Because among the people she came into contact with at Ming Xin Academy, not one truly liked her, they all wanted to get on top of her.

  She originally took Ning Cheng to the room, and it was true that she got on the bed with Ning Cheng, then used Ning Cheng to get some spiritual liquid. Later, when she saw that Ning Cheng was a rookie, her heart even moved with some real feelings. Originally, she had been living in her own deception, only now did she know how unbearable she was in other people's eyes.

  "Ah……" Yueting's face showed an expression of disbelief, she and Ning Cheng knew each other by accident. No, it seemed not to be accidental. She remembered that she first saw a pearl flower, then this person named Ning Cheng took the initiative to buy the pearl flower.

  It turns out that later, I heard from my brother that he bought the pearl flower and didn't leave, but instead stayed in front of the original stall for a long time. Did he know that my brother was going to go? And then took this opportunity to get close to me? If so, then this person's mind is really terrifying.

  The little guilt I had for Ning City also faded away.

  Ning Cheng's face sank, and he said in a cold voice, "I don't know what kind of person Su Zhu is, but I only know that speaking ill of others behind their backs isn't a clean thing to do either. Even if Su Zhu has countless admirers, what business is it of yours? My associating with Su Zhu, and also associating with An Yi, what business is it of yours? I'm happy to, can't I? You want me to associate with you, but I'm not happy to, can I?"

  Ning Cheng looked down on Su Zhu's decadent lifestyle, but he disliked the Ambrose Cloud in front of him even more.

  "You're looking for death." Yongyu Yun's face changed, and the flying sword at her waist had already appeared in her hand, while a murderous intent spread out.

  Ning Cheng was extremely displeased in his heart. If they were outside, he would have struck out with his sword long ago. A mere Yong Gu Yun wasn't even worthy of a casual swing of his sword.

  "Yong Shijie, don't move." Yue Ying hastily stepped forward and stopped Yong Gouyun.

  Yong Yu seemed to be aware of Yue Ying's intention and gave her face when he saw her coming forward, without continuing to move forward.

  Yonggu saw that he didn't continue to move forward, and Yuesong let out a sigh of relief. He hastily said to Ningcheng, "This big brother, my brother said you're a good person. My brother may not have many experiences, but he's not someone without insight either. You're not from Mingxin Academy, if you're also not here to participate in the Mingxin Academy selection, then you should leave quickly."

  Ning Cheng didn't come to fight, of course he wouldn't continue to provoke Yun Gu Yun. Now that Yu Yan spoke up, he hastily said, "Sister, I want to find my cousin An Yi, do you know where she is?"

  "You dare to come looking for An Yi? I'll immediately tell Master Lan and make sure you can never leave Ming Xin Academy again." Yong Gu Yun said sternly.

  Yueying hastily said before Ningcheng did, "An Yishi has already gone to the college square, now she must be on the rostrum, you can see her if you go."

  Ning Cheng guessed that he and An Yi must have missed each other, so he quickly bowed his fist to thank Yueying and hastily departed. He had already exposed himself, and if An Yi was safe and sound, he would leave Nan Yuan City immediately; otherwise, every extra minute would mean an extra share of danger.

  Once Yong Yu Yun informed Lan Yin Yue of his appearance in Nan Yuan City, he wouldn't be able to escape.

  Watching Ning Cheng quickly leave, Yong Yu Yun said with some resentment, "Yue Ying Shifu, next time you encounter this kind of shameless scoundrel, don't be softhearted. Otherwise, you'll always end up losing out. This kind of person is despicable and shameless, who knows how many innocent girls they've ruined."

  Yueying's face turned slightly red as she said, "I know, Master Yong. Thanks for just now, you gave me some face."

  Yong Gu Yun smiled slightly and said, "He's better off not going to find An Yi. If he dares to go find An Yi, that's the same as going to look for death. Last time, Master Lan killed him, but somehow he managed to escape. This time, if he goes to find An Yi, Master Lan will be there, how can he possibly get away?"
