(Tian Yan's mother is here…)
That night.
Ning Chen heard a voice coming from outside the door. He got up and walked out. He found Duanmu Rong standing by the railing, looking up at the starry sky.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? You have to get up early tomorrow." Ning Chen walked to her side and said.
"I can't sleep at the thought of parting tomorrow.”Duanmu Rong glanced at him and said.
Ning Chen looked at her. Under the starlight and moonlight, she looked even more elegant and refined.
"Let's go, I'll bring you somewhere.”As Ning Chen spoke, he pulled her by the arms and legs, and under her shocked gaze, he led her towards the mirror lake.
Ning Chen stepped on the surface of the lake, bringing her along as they floated under the starry sky.
Duanmu Rong's gaze fell on the side of the young man's face, her clear eyes filled with tenderness.
The word love, I don't know when it started, by the time I realized it, it was already deeply rooted in my heart and could no longer be removed.
This was especially true for the feelings of a young girl.
When they reached the center of the lake, Ning Chen held Duanmu Rong's hand so that she could stand on the surface of the water. He pointed at the starry sky with his other hand and said in high spirits,"Look."
Duanmu Rong looked over and widened her eyes at the beautiful scenery in front of her. The surroundings were vast, and the sky was filled with a dazzling starry sky. The lake beneath her feet reflected the stars and the moon. Standing in the middle, it was as if she was stretching out into the sea of stars. There were stars in all directions, boundless and vast.
" How beautiful…" Duanmu Rong looked at the dreamy scenery in front of her and said in a dream-like manner.
"I've wanted to show you for a long time. Fortunately, I did it before we parted ways.”Ning Chen looked at her and smiled.
Duanmu Rong stared at him blankly.
Under the starry sky, he wore a gentle smile on his face. His black hair and lapels fluttered gently in the night wind. He looked ethereal and otherworldly.
Unbeknownst to her, Duanmu Rong moved closer to him and gently tapped the corner of his mouth with her cherry lips.
"Thank you…"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and leaned into his embrace. A reassuring smile appeared on her beautiful and refined face.
Ning Chen stretched out his hand and naturally held her slender waist in his arms. He said softly,
"Take care of yourself."
"Yes."
The next day.
Ning Chen led the donkey out of the mirror lake with the luggage and package. The master and disciple parted ways. The master and disciple headed south while Ning Chen continued to head east.
——————
After walking for a few days.
It was a gloomy day with a drizzle.
Ning Chen walked to a certain place, and the system suddenly started to move again.
Seven miles ahead, there are female creatures of the same kind as the host with special aptitudes. They meet the requirements for dual cultivation.
After Ning Chen had walked for about six miles, he arrived in front of a town. The person indicated by the system light spot was in this city.
"I didn't expect to meet another one so soon.”Ning Chen shook his head as he held the donkey's hand. He held the umbrella and walked towards the town.
On the streets of the town, passers-by walked with umbrellas.
Ning Chen led the donkey up a stone bridge following the spot of light. A person on the bridge caught his attention.
It was a beautiful woman with a cold and sharp expression. She held an unusual sword in her hand and wore black light armor, but it could not hide her slender figure. Her legs were long and straight, and she was holding an umbrella. She looked up at a wooden building on the other side of the bridge.
"Is that her…"
" Mid first-rate qi realm, with a dense killing intent, an assassin…" Ning Chen was slightly surprised, then his gaze was attracted by the sword in her hand.
"That sword is…the Startling Salamander."
Ning Chen looked at the sword in her hand and narrowed his eyes.
"The Startling Salamander Sword. What is her relationship with the farmer Tian Yan in the plot of my previous life?”
Ning Chen stared at her and couldn't help but think to himself.
As if she had sensed someone spying on her, the woman turned her head around. She held the scabbard in her hand and looked sharply at Ning Chen.
She was stunned when she saw the strange-looking white-robed youth standing there with a small donkey and a sword at his waist.
Was he just an ordinary person without any internal energy?
The woman released her grip on the handle of the sword, caught the umbrella handle that fell from the sky, and turned to leave.
Ning Chen held an umbrella and followed behind her, leading the donkey.
After walking about a hundred steps, the woman turned around and looked at him with a bone-chilling gaze.
"Do you want to die?"
"The sword in your hand is quite special." Ning Chen pointed at the Startling Salamander in her hand and said with a smile," I'm very curious.”
"Curiosity kills. Didn't your parents teach you that?”The woman's voice was cold." Don't follow me anymore, or I'll kill you."”
After saying that, she turned and left.
"The sword in your hand is one of the eight swords of Yue Ba, the Startling Salamander Ancient Sword, right?”The young man's slightly childish voice sounded in her ear, causing her to stop in her tracks.
Then, the woman slowly turned around. Her entire body was filled with killing intent as she looked at Ning Chen coldly.
"Who are you?"
"I'm just a passerby." Ning Chen smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman stomped her feet. Her figure and sword shadow flashed, raising a curtain of rain. The piercingly cold Startling Salamander Sword stabbed towards his chest.
Killing people on the streets without caring about the civilians around them was the style of the assassins from the Network.
In front of the woman, the strange young man instantly disappeared in front of her sword.
The woman was shocked. She felt the movement behind her. Her slender legs curled and spun, and the Startling Salamander in her hand slashed backward.
He slashed at nothing.
"There are too many people here. If you want to fight, why don't you come with me? I happen to have something to ask you.”
Ning Chen returned to the donkey as if he had never left. He smiled at the woman.
With that, he held the umbrella and led the donkey to the street.
Who was this young man?
The woman, who was bathed in the rain and holding the Ancient Salamander Sword in her hand, looked at the back of the white-robed youth with a grave and surprised gaze. After thinking for a moment, she followed him.
