Chapter 42: You Bastard

  The young food delivery man had just left, and the door was pushed open again. This time, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.

  Apart from Ning Cheng, the other five young men immediately stood up and bowed their heads in respect as soon as they saw this middle-aged beauty, respectfully calling out "Lan Elder..."

  The middle-aged beauty just nodded slightly and looked at Ning City, asking, "You're Ning City?"

  Ning Cheng felt the severity in the eyes of this middle-aged beautiful woman and was somewhat puzzled as to why this elder had sought him out.

  "Come with me." The middle-aged beautiful woman didn't wait for Ning Cheng's response and had already turned around and left.

  Some Ningcheng followed the middle-aged beauty out of the room, turned a few laps on the boat, and entered a luxurious room that was slightly larger than the one where the six of them had lived before.

  The middle-aged beautiful woman sat down on the main seat in the room, and didn't let Ning City sit down. She just asked in a light voice, "According to An Yi's words, you and An Yi seem not to be cousins, but only An Yi's master told you to take care of An Yi before he left."

  Ning Cheng didn't say a word, he knew that with An Yi's naivety, it wasn't unusual for her to reveal these things in front of these cunning guys. Now, all he hoped was that An Yi wouldn't mention his yellow millet or the fact that he absorbed spiritual stones very quickly.

  Once An Yi spreads the word, he can only wait for death. Ning Cheng believes that An Yi should know better and that no one would dare to make a move on this matter, so she shouldn't take the initiative to say it.

  The middle-aged beauty finished speaking and didn't wait for Ning Cheng to respond before continuing, "Regardless of whether you are An Yi's cousin or not, I hope you will not approach An Yi in the future. This is beneficial for both you and An Yi. An Yi has unlimited potential, but your three spiritual roots are impure, and your greatest achievement can only be condensing Qi at most. If you interact with An Yi, it will only affect her."

  Ning Cheng said in a light tone, "I hope more than you that An Yi has an unlimited future, but before that, I need to confirm whether An Yi is really being taken care of by Ming Xin Academy."

  Ning Cheng was sure that An Yi would be taken care of by Ming Xin Academy, it's just that this middle-aged beauty's words were too annoying.

  The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled slightly, "Okay."

  After finishing, she took out a wooden sign and handed it to Ning City, saying, "Tomorrow night, there will be a welcome party for An Yi and Yu Feng on the boat. You can enter with this wooden sign. At that time, you can observe An Yi from a corner, or you will understand what you should do."

  Ning Cheng took the wooden sign and silently turned around and walked out of the room, without even bothering to bid farewell to this middle-aged beautiful woman.

  A very lovely girl rushed in at this moment, brushing past Ning Cheng who was walking out of the room. She also took a glance at Ning Cheng and let out an "ah".

  "Master, who is this person? So rude." The lovely young girl stared at the back of Ning Cheng's departing figure and asked the middle-aged beautiful woman.

  The middle-aged beautiful woman frowned and said, "This person's talent is poor, but his personality is stubborn and extremely arrogant. Just now he didn't answer my question directly, and when he left, he didn't even say goodbye. It seems that I won't be able to let him go to Mingxin Academy."

  ……

  After Ning City returned to the room, the eyes of several companions in the room seemed a bit strange, but no one came over to ask questions or chat with him. Ning City's mood was not good either, and he closed his eyes to deduce the formation on his own position.

  Time flies like an arrow, and the next evening, when Ning Cheng arrived at the party venue, the grand hall where the party was being held was already bustling with people coming and going.

  Ning Cheng came from Earth, although he had never attended a dinner party or a ball, he had seen countless ones on TV. This was Ning Cheng's first time attending such a ball, and there were no modern facilities here, but Ning Cheng was certain that the luxury of this ship's ball was absolutely not inferior to any ball on Earth.

  Row upon row of lanterns illuminated the entire evening party scene, making it look like a paradise. Some girls wearing colorful butterfly-like dresses carried various dishes and fine wines, weaving in and out of every corner. The soft music was something Ning City had never heard before, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling as soon as they listened to it.

  The monks who attended this evening gathering had none below the fifth layer of Qi accumulation, and many were even invisible to Ning Cheng.

  Leibo Hong and others also walked in with a smile, greeting some people from Ning City who didn't look like cultivators.

  Ning Cheng only knew a few people including Lebo Hong, and almost everyone else was unfamiliar. Just then, a pleasant melody sounded, and under the dim light, Ning Cheng saw An Yi.

  At this time, An Yi was like a princess, the set of cloth robes on her body had disappeared and was replaced by a yellow goose-colored dress. Although her head was still wrapped in a white gauze scarf, it showed a kind of immortal charm, which made her already extremely beautiful face even more extraordinary and ethereal.

  An Yi walked into the hall with a smile, her eyes full of joy. Apparently, An Yi, who had never been in contact with such scenes before, also had strong adaptability, and at least in her eyes, there was no longer any confusion or unease. Lu Xue and Yong Yu Yun accompanied An Yi all the time, showing that An Yi's status would be higher than theirs.

  As Anya took the stage, waves of warm applause erupted.

  Following closely behind An Yi was a young man with a face as handsome as jade, his eyes carrying a hint of arrogance, and walking with an air of utmost confidence. Ning Cheng didn't need to ask to know that this person should be Yu Hongfeng, the Pure Golden Spiritual Root.

  An Yi stood on the stage, accepting the welcome of the crowd while her eyes were scanning around. Lu Xue whispered in An Yi's ear, "An Yi Shimei, these people are all elite disciples and teachers from Ming Xin Academy, Ning Cheng won't be coming."

  An nodded slightly, withdrew her gaze, and a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

  "You shouldn't have boarded the ship." A calm voice sounded beside Ning Cheng's ear.

  Ning Cheng suddenly turned around and saw a familiar girl. This girl was the one he met at the middle-aged woman's place yesterday, when he was coming out of the middle-aged woman's room, this girl happened to rush in hastily. Although it was just a brief encounter, Ning Cheng still remembered very clearly.

  "At least I know that my cousin is doing well, and I can rest assured." Ning Cheng said with a faint smile, then turned around to leave. If he hadn't boarded the ship, he would have died in Mang City long ago.

  The girl suddenly said, "I think when the spaceship stops at the next station, you'd better get off. Believe me, it's right."

  The girl said such a strange sentence and then turned around and walked into the crowd of people in the middle of the banquet hall.

  Ning Cheng furrowed his brow, having a somewhat uneasy feeling. Just as he was about to pick up the wine cup on the side table to take a sip, he heard that familiar voice again, "You've already seen your cousin Anyi, she's doing very well, so you don't have to worry anymore."

  "Thank you, senior. I don't need to worry indeed," Ning Cheng said, putting down the wine cup he had just raised. He turned his head and found that the person speaking to him was the middle-aged beautiful woman who gave him the wooden sign yesterday, but at this moment she didn't have a hint of expression.

  A middle-aged beautiful woman said calmly, "Let you come here for a trip, one is because you are Any's cousin, and the other is to satisfy your thoughts. I have some other things to find you, follow me."

  Ning Cheng's bad feeling grew stronger, but he had no room for resistance and could only follow the middle-aged beauty out of the banquet hall.

  After the fragrance of incense, a gentle breeze blew in, and Ning Cheng only then discovered that he was already standing on the deck behind the flying ship. Below the flying ship was an endless expanse of white clouds and blue sky, and those gentle breezes had passed through the shielding array method on the flying ship before blowing in. It could be imagined that if there were no such shielding arrays, just standing in this place would immediately be blown away by the high-speed flying ship.

  Looking at the endless white clouds and blue sky under his feet, Ning Cheng felt a little dizzy. At this moment, he completely understood why the middle-aged beautiful woman had brought him here.

  "Do you want me to jump from here?" Ning Cheng's tone turned cold, and it was clear that making a four-layer Gatherer cultivator like him jump from this height would be nothing short of a death sentence.

  The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded naturally and said, "That's right, you have to jump from here, you don't have a choice."

  "Why? I've already agreed to stop looking for Anyi." Ning Cheng clenched his fists, he knew this was a place where human life was cheap, but this was too ridiculous. Just because he knew Anyi, and Anyi was a Pure Spirit Root, they wanted to kill him, was there such logic in the world? It seemed that as long as he lived, Anyi couldn't cultivate in peace.

  "For An Yi's future, I have the responsibility to help An Yi cut off worldly ties. You don't need to think about resisting, I can tell you, I am Elder Lan Yueyue of the 8th layer of Ming Xin Academy. You are a Qi gathering 4th layer cultivator, I don't even need to move and I can make you leave from here. You are An Yi's cousin, I don't want to force you, you jump yourself."

  The middle-aged beautiful woman's tone was expressionless.

  "Haha......" Ning Cheng burst out laughing, "You've become a prostitute and still want to put up a plaque, unwilling to force me, I spit on that."

  "You're courting death..." Originally calm and peaceful, Lan Yinyue's entire body was now overflowing with murderous intent after hearing Ning Cheng's words.

  Ning Cheng knew he had no ability to resist, so he walked to the edge of the boat and stared at Lan Yueyue, saying word by word, "Lan Yueyue, I don't need you to take action, I'll do it myself. One day, you will regret what you did today, you bitch..."

  Lan Yinyue heard Ning Cheng mention her name and scold her, suddenly getting angry and trembling all over. Before she could take action against Ning Cheng, he had already jumped off the edge of the boat on his own initiative. He knew that facing Lan Yinyue, he had no other choice but to jump into the water.

  The spaceship was extremely fast, and Ning Cheng jumped out of it. The ship had already gone far away. Lan Yu Yue still couldn't calm down her inner anger, she didn't think that a mere Qi Condensation Fourth Layer cultivator would dare to humiliate her like this. If she could fly, she would definitely fly out of the cabin and grab Ning Cheng back, tearing him apart inch by inch.
