ther party would let him go back then. 。Ning Shu's idea was beautiful, he just wanted to catch his breath. 。But things didn't go as planned, an hour after no reply to the message, the other party sent...Tianqifeng, like the master of the mountain, exudes an aura of cold and desolation everywhere. When Ning Shu stepped into this forbidden land, he felt a strange chill.
The house stood tall, its maple leaves painted red. The wind rustled through them, bringing a chill.
The eaves tinkled.
Ning Shumu's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He was sure he had just heard the sound coming from this direction. He didn't dare let his guard down, focusing intently on any noises around him.
Then a voice rang out from behind him: "Who are you"
Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around.
The young man across from him was also looking at him, wearing a white robe, only with alternating black and white at the collar. His body was slender and straight, and he possessed an exceptionally handsome face, with raven-like long eyelashes drooping down.
Her thin lips were a deep, dark red, but they seemed cold and lonely.
Ning Shu noticed the young man's eyes, they were the same pale color as his master's. What frightened him even more was that the other person didn't move at all, and he stood right behind him.
He held back his inner shock and couldn't help but say, "Who are you"
The boy glanced at him, his tone neither light nor heavy as he said, "You don't know who I am"
Ning Shu found this strange. If the other party was from Tianqi Peak, he should have met him before. But his master hadn't mentioned anything about this young man. However, the way the other person spoke made it seem like they had always been there, and it was strange that Ning Shu didn't recognize them.
In his heart, a growing sense of doubt arose. Ning Shu couldn't help but ask: "...Do you know Master"
The boy remained silent, only watching him quietly.
Ning Shu didn't know why she had a feeling that, although the other party looked different from Shen Wuzun, she felt he bore some resemblance to him.
He shook his head involuntarily and continued, "I am a disciple of the esteemed master, my name is Ning Shu."
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he simply sized him up from head to toe before calmly saying, "My name is Cang Ming."
Ning Shu pursed her lips and couldn't help but say, "This is a forbidden zone. How did you get in"
"When did Cang Ming leap over and sit on a maple leaf" he lowered his eyes. "I would like to ask, didn't Si Kong Hengyu tell you not to enter the forbidden zone" He casually wedged the maple leaf, slightly raising it to split the stone table in half with a crash.
"That's right, he's in seclusion now, so he can't teach you."
Ning Shu couldn't help but be a little surprised. Why did it sound like this young man was very familiar with his master He couldn't help but purse his lips and say, "I heard some noise and thought someone had broken into Tianqi Peak, so I came in."
Although Ning Shu didn't know who the young man was, he vaguely realized that the other party should have been here for a long time. And his master had instructed him not to enter the forbidden area.
"I'm sorry to disturb you," he murmured.
As soon as Ning Shu turned around, Cang Ming jumped down and followed behind him.
He couldn't help but feel strange, and he involuntarily raised his eyes to look. The young man stood beside him, actually half a head taller than him, looking unmoved.
Ning Shu couldn't help but say, "What are you following me for"
"I just woke up," Cang Ming said indifferently, "Is it only you who can walk the Tianqi Peak"
Ningshu: "..."
After he left the forbidden zone, he planned to go back and study today's cultivation diligently. However, the young man kept following him; wherever he went, the other followed suit.
Ning Shu couldn't help but blink her eyes and asked, "Don't you know the way here"
I saw Cang Ming looking at him with a slightly condescending gaze and said, without directly addressing the topic: "I've lived on Tianqi Peak for hundreds of years."
Ning Shu tilted her head, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. She entered the room and began to meditate and cultivate.
Although his eyes were closed, Cang Ming's gaze remained fixed on him.
Ning Shu could still sense it, he was distracted. He had to open his eyes and said, "You're here, I can't focus on my cultivation."
Cang Ming looked at him and said, “I'm afraid that Si Kong Hengyu has ascended to immortality, and your cultivation hasn't reached the Golden Core stage yet.”
Ning Shu's cheeks flushed with anger, his voice a bit stiff as he said, "Don't follow me." He clenched his fists. He had always thought his talent was good, but the boy's tone made him feel like a waste of space.
Cang Ming paused, his gaze falling upon the person opposite him. The other's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Their cheeks were flushed, and he felt a strange sensation in his heart.
It was like being lightly scratched, with a hint of itchiness.
Ning Shu saw that the young man wasn't speaking, and he himself lost interest in cultivating further. He couldn't help but sigh, then got up and planned to go eat dinner.
"Master Wang has already finished cooking. He says enthusiastically, “Ning Xianchang, today I made braised pork, mapo tofu, and a few stir-fries. Please tell me if they suit your taste.”
Ning Shu, with a touch of embarrassment, hurriedly said, "I was just an ordinary mortal like you before. You don't have to call me Immortal."
Master Wang wouldn't listen to such things. He must have done good deeds for countless lifetimes to be able to come to this fairyland and cook. Everyone knows now that he has a bright future ahead of him, and his hometown people are proud of him.
Cang Ming looked at the food on the table and sat down beside Ning Shu.
Ning Shu was originally eating, and couldn't help but ask: "…Are you hungry too"
"I don't need to eat mortal food," Cang Ming said.
He looked at the person in front of him, seeing the other person eat with their cheeks slightly puffed out, very graceful. Lowering his eyes, he wore a serious expression.
I didn't really understand why Sikong Hengyu took on such an ordinary person as his disciple. Now I think it's not bad
After Ning Shu finished her meal, she boiled some hot water and was about to take a bath.
He saw that Cang Ming still had no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but blush and say, "You wouldn't even let me bathe in peace, would you"
But Cang Ming said, "If you want to bathe, I can cast a cleansing spell for you."
Ning Shu pursed his lips, knowing that it was easy for cultivators to cleanse their bodies. He'd been human for so long, of course he enjoyed the feeling of a bath.
Cang Ming just sat there, watching him take off his clothes.
Ning Shu finally gave up resistance. He comforted himself in his heart, anyway he was a man. There was nothing to be afraid of, so he plunged into the water.
Cang Ming's eyes were fixed on the other person's body, which was very pale. That slender neck, with water droplets falling, looked unusually youthful.
He looked at it for a while, and he suddenly felt an urge to touch it.
Ning Shu had already given up struggling, he didn't even know that while he was bathing, a boy about his own age was watching him. What on earth was going on By the time he came to his senses, Cang Ming's figure was gone.
He let out a slight sigh of relief, understanding that the other party might have left.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, who was the other party, and what was their relationship with my master
,....
However, Ning Shu did not expect that the next day, Cang Ming would come again.
His cultivation was interrupted halfway, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "If you are bored, go for a walk."
Cang Ming meaningfully said, "They don't know who I am."
Ning Shu was startled, then reacted. Maybe the people from Tiangzong didn't know who Cang Ming was after all. If the other party went out and was discovered, there would inevitably be chaos.
"Then what do you want" she said, biting back her retort.
Cang Ming said, "Si Kong Hengyu will need at least a month to retreat. You will stay with me during this month." His tone was light, but it wasn't a suggestion, more like an order.
Ning Shu wanted to laugh in anger. At this rate, how was he supposed to make progress in his cultivation every day When his master came out, if his cultivation hadn't increased at all, how was he going to explain it
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Cang Ming touched his slender and pale fingers over her, and said coldly: "You are so obedient to Si Kong Hengyu, yet you refuse to even look at me"
The boy's fingers were icy cold, as if tinged with the breath of frost.
Ning Shu had a moment when he thought his master had left seclusion. He shivered involuntarily, not bothering to think about how the other party knew what he was like in front of the Shen Wu Zun.
"He's my master," she said with a hint of anger, "Who are you"
But Cang Ming retorted, “What’s the difference between me and him”
Ning Shu couldn't understand what he was saying. Her tone was laced with annoyance as she said, "I'm going to cultivate. Don't bother me."
Cang Ming remained silent, only a coldness crept into his expression.
Ning Shu waited for a while but still received no reply. When he looked again, the youth was gone. He continued to cultivate for a while longer.
but there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart.
Ning Shu's heart was once again tossed and turned. He stood up and hurriedly chased after the direction the young man had left in.
There was no sign of Cang Ming within the forbidden zone, causing Ning Shu's heart to skip a beat. As she searched for him all over Tianqi Peak, she witnessed Zhou Wu Chang engaged in a fight with others.
The young man struck with deadly accuracy, relentlessly crushing Zhou Wuchang.
Seeing that he was about to collapse, Ning Shu hurriedly rushed up and shouted, "Cang Ming!"
Upon hearing his voice, the young man sheathed his sword and stood aside, his expression cold.
Zhou Wu Chang broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that this mysterious boy's cultivation would be so profound. He now felt a sense of relief after narrowly escaping death.
Ning Shu hurriedly helped the person up: "Wu Chang, are you alright"
Zhou Wuchang felt the chill of the youth's gaze on him and shivered again. He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He straightened his body and stepped back a few paces from Ning Shu, "Master Ning, do you know this person"
Ning Shu couldn't help but say, "...He seems to know the master."
He pursed his lips and spoke in a few words, perhaps Zhou Wu Chang would know the relationship between this young man and his master.
I didn't expect Zhou Wuchang to be unaware either. He just thought that the young man was a dangerous person. He seemed unfathomable, making people guess: "It is said that the Divine Lord raised a demon beast in his early years. Could this young man be a demon beast transformed into a human"
Ning Shu couldn't help but glance at Cang Ming, and the other was also looking at him.ines' offspring. 。That master had taken in over ten concubines, but he had no sons or daughters. 。And those concubines were quite afraid of me. Ning Yun, feeling a sense of amusement, exerted all his...
