After leaving the Qin family, Chen Ning went to the streets of Heaven's Wall City. It was already morning, but Chen Ning was a little embarrassed that he did not seem to know the way. Fortunately, the bag that Black Panther had stuffed into Chen Ning not only contained the Demon Cores obtained from hunting Demonic Beasts, but also some gold coins and magnetite that Black Panther had placed inside, so Chen Ning did not have to sleep on the streets. Looking at the merchants on the street and the shop owner who had already opened his shop for business, Chen Ning found a coachman and told him where he was going. About half an hour later, Chen Ning returned to the inn he had stayed at in Heaven's Wall City and booked a room with the innkeeper. He also ordered some food and a few clothes for the waiter to send to his room. To Chen Ning's surprise, the innkeeper was very enthusiastic and refused to accept Chen Ning's money no matter what, leaving Chen Ning confused. After a few rounds, the boss still refused to accept it. Chen Ning could not be bothered to continue the stalemate. He did not want to forget it and returned to his room.
Not long after Chen Ning returned to her room, the waiter knocked on the door and came in with some food and a few clothes to change into. He placed the food on the table and the clothes on the bed before leaving the room at Chen Ning's signal. Chen Ning could not take a bath yet. Although his injuries had been healed by the purple gas, the wounds that had been applied with medicine could not get wet. Chen Ning only washed his head, wiped his body with water, and changed into clothes. After everything was done, Chen Ning began to fill his internal organs. Although Mystical Practitioners could rely on Mystical Qi to strengthen themselves, they still needed to eat. Only Great Mystical Masters could rely on Mystical Qi to nourish themselves. Thus, they did not need to eat. Even so, many cultivators in the Xuantian Continent would eat and drink even if they had reached the Great Mystical Master and Mystical King realm. It could be said to be a habit, and it could also be said to satisfy their cravings, especially wine. This was an essential thing for many cultivators. Therefore, in many places in the Xuantian Continent, the business of restaurants was very good.
"Dong dong dong…"
Just as Chen Ning was eating at the table, she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Chen Ning put down his bowl and chopsticks, quickly went to the bedside, picked up his sword, and said in a low voice. Chen Ning was extremely nervous at the moment, and any movement would alert him.
"Young Master Chen Ning? We are Young Master Ouyang and we are here to invite Young Master Chen Ning to your residence.”Just as Chen Ning was holding his sword and staring at the door warily, a voice came from outside.
"Young Master Ouyang? Could it be Ouyang Xin?" Recalling Ouyang Xin, whom he had met in the Heaven's Wall City, Chen Ning's vigilant expression eased slightly. He put away his sword and walked to the door to open it.
When Chen Ning opened the door, he saw two middle-aged men standing outside. They looked very ordinary. One was tall and the other was short, but Chen Ning did not dare to underestimate them. Chen Ning could not detect their cultivation levels with his divine sense. Back in the Monster Mountain Range, Chen Ning could even detect that the butler's leader was a Level Three Mystique Adept, but he could not see through these two men. The only explanation was that their strength was above the butler's leader.
"May I know why Young Master Ouyang is looking for me?”Chen Ning looked at the two of them and asked.
"We don't know about that. It's just that young master Ouyang ordered us to come and invite young master Chen Ning, so we came here after we learned that young master Chen Ning had returned to the inn.”The tall man standing outside the door politely replied to Chen Ning.
Chen Ning nodded and replied with a smile,""Since Young Master Ouyang has invited you, please wait a moment!”After saying that, he returned to his bed and picked up his sword. He then placed the demon core mystic cultivator in a small bag and returned to the door."Let's go." The two men, one tall and one short, also made a gesture of invitation and led the way. Magnetite was an essential item for Chen Ning's cultivation. People could also cultivate by absorbing Xuan Qi from heaven and earth, but that would be too slow. The value of the demon core was extraordinary. Chen Ning naturally would not stay in the inn. If it was stolen, he would regret it to death.
As the two men left the inn, they boarded a rather luxurious carriage. The coachman urged them on, and the carriage slowly moved toward the Ouyang Residence. Chen Ning had heard their names from the conversation along the way. The shorter one was called Wang Jun, and the taller one was called Li Li. Both of them were Ouyang Xin's guards.
Twenty minutes later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of an extremely luxurious mansion. Under the guidance of Wang Jun and Li Li, Chen Ning arrived at the Ouyang Mansion. The Ouyang Mansion occupied a very large area. If Chen Ning's previous inn was placed in the Ouyang Mansion, it would only occupy a small corner. As he followed the two of them along the road, Chen Ning kept looking at the Ouyang Mansion. There were bright red flowers and plants everywhere, as well as artificial mountains and fountains.
In the Ouyang Residence, groups of armored guards patrolled past from time to time. Chen Ning could not help but use his Divine Perception to check the power of these guards. After scanning them with his Divine Perception, Chen Ning was extremely shocked. The lowest among these guards was a Tenth Level Mystical Cultivator. Moreover, judging from their bright eyes, they were obviously the best among the Tenth Level Mystical Cultivators. They were definitely not comparable to ordinary Tenth Level Mystical Cultivators. Chen Ning could not help but sigh in his heart. The Ouyang Clan was indeed one of the eight great clans of the Heaven's Wall City. Their strength was unfathomable, and even the patrolling guards had such strength.
Chen Ning followed the two of them through a long corridor and finally came to a luxurious house. The house was very luxurious and was painted with golden yellow paint, giving off a golden feeling. After entering the house, they came to a hall. When Wang Jun and Li Li stood at the door and made a gesture of invitation, they stood in front of the door and did not enter.
The hall was very spacious. When Chen Ning walked in, there were already four people sitting inside. They were all smiling and discussing something. When Chen Ning walked in, they all looked in Chen Ning's direction. The one sitting in the middle of the hall was naturally Ouyang Xin. On the two sides of Ouyang Xin sat two women and a man. Chen Ning had seen the two women before. They were Shangguan Wan 'er and her cousin Qing Yixuan from the Shangguan Clan, whom he had met at the World Chamber of Commerce the other day. As for the other man, Chen Ning had never seen him before.
Seeing that it was Chen Ning, Ouyang Xin, who was sitting in the middle, immediately stood up and said with a smile,"Hahaha... Brother Chen Ning, you're finally here. Where have you been recently? I've been waiting for you for so long." After saying that, he strode over to Chen Ning and pulled Chen Ning along to arrange a seat for him.
Chen Ning was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect Ouyang Xin to be so enthusiastic. After sitting down, he immediately smiled and said,"I had something to do recently and went out, so I wasn't in Heaven's Wall City. I'm really sorry for making Young Master Ouyang wait for so long.”Chen Ning did not want to talk about the Monster Mountain Range, nor did he want to tell anyone about it. It was a pain in his heart forever.
"It's fine. It's just that Brother Chen Ning hasn't seen you for many days, and your cultivation seems to have improved at a rapid pace.”Ouyang Xin, who had returned to his seat, was still smiling at Chen Ning. However, Ouyang Xin was extremely shocked. Ten days ago, he saw that Chen Ning was still a first level cultivator. How long had it been? He was already a sixth level cultivator, but Ouyang Xin did not show it on his face.
"I am ashamed, ashamed. Compared to Young Master Ouyang, my cultivation is really insignificant.”Chen Ning shook his head in response to Ouyang Xin's words. He looked ashamed. Ouyang Xin gritted her teeth. You cultivate for as long as I cultivate. Don't be so demoralizing.
"Hehe…I heard from Ouyang Xin that it was your idea to make Guan Jie pass out at the World Chamber of Commerce. You are too evil.”
As soon as Chen Ning finished speaking, Shangguan Wan 'er, who was sitting below Ouyang Xin, let out a crisp and charming laugh. When Chen Ning looked at Shangguan Wan' er, she saw that Shangguan Wan 'er was also looking at him. She was smiling at Chen Ning, looking very interested in him.
Hearing Shangguan Wan 'er's words, Qing Yixuan couldn't help but glance at Chen Ning. Even the young man sitting opposite them turned to look at Chen Ning. Although very few people knew about what had happened at the auction, they were obviously very familiar with Ouyang Xin since they were sitting here. It wasn't surprising that they knew about what had happened that day.
"Oh? Could this Chen Ning be the one who made Guan Jie suffer? The one who threatened to cripple Guan Jie? Chen Ning is young and promising, huh?”Just as everyone was looking at Chen Ning, the young man sitting on Shangguan Wan 'er's seat stopped his gaze on Chen Ning for a moment. With a teasing smile on his face, he paused and continued,"May I know which family Brother Chen Ning is from? Can you tell me so that we can visit you in the future?”
Ouyang Xin frowned when he heard the young man's words. He was about to speak, but he looked at Chen Ning again. For some reason, he closed his mouth. He knew Chen Ning's background, and he didn't stop him because he wanted to test Chen Ning and see how he would resolve it.
Chen Ning frowned slightly at the young man's hostile words. He did not know why the young man was targeting him, but he quickly recovered. He smiled at the young man and said,"What does Guan Jie's defeat have to do with me? It was all his own fault.”Without waiting for the young man to respond, he paused and asked,"I wonder if this young master has heard of this saying.”"What words?" The young man immediately asked. "He who humiliates others humiliates himself. As for my family background, I, Ziran, do not have any family background.”Chen Ning said calmly to the young man.
Hearing Chen Ning's words, the young man was slightly stunned. He who humiliates others humiliates himself. He had just targeted Chen Ning and wanted to embarrass him. Wasn't he indirectly talking about himself? A hint of anger flashed across his face. Just as he was about to retort Chen Ning, Ouyang Xin, who was sitting above, suddenly smiled and said,"Hehe, young master Wang Ze, there is no need to be angry. Brother Chen Ning has no other intentions. Moreover, we are here today to discuss the City Governor's daughter's twentieth birthday song.”She casually blocked Wang Ze's words.
After hearing Ouyang Xin's words, Wang Ze did not say anything else. He could only give up and wave his sleeve at Chen Ning. Chen Ning did not even bother to look at him.
"Miss Wan Er, I wonder what song you have prepared for the City Governor's daughter tonight?”
"I don't have any songs. If you ask me about songs, wouldn't it be making things difficult for this little girl? If you want to ask my cousin, just ask directly.”Upon hearing Ouyang Xin's words, Shangguan Wan 'er, who was sitting not far away from Chen Ning, looked at Ouyang Xin with a sneer. After saying that, Shangguan Wan' er raised her eyebrows at Ouyang Xin, meaning that if you want to ask my cousin, just ask her. Why are you asking me?
Hearing Shangguan Wan 'er's words, Ouyang Xin's face immediately revealed an awkward smile. He then turned to look at the cold and aloof Qing Yixuan and asked nervously,"I wonder what song does Young Lady Zhi Qing intend to dedicate to the City Governor's daughter tonight?”After saying that, Ouyang Xin looked at Qing Yixuan gently. Everyone knew that Ouyang Xin liked her.
"We will know tonight." Facing Ouyang Xin's gentle gaze, Qing Yixuan's expression remained unchanged as she replied.
Ouyang Xin awkwardly rubbed his nose when he heard his question. However, he understood Qing Yixuan's personality a little, so he did not ask for a snub. Ouyang Xin could not understand either. He was obviously not bad, and his family was one of the eight great families in Heaven's Wall City. Furthermore, Ouyang Xin was extremely confident in his looks, but Qing Yixuan was always cold to him.
Ouyang Xin and Shangguan Wan 'er chatted for a while before Shangguan Wan' er and Qing Yixuan stood up and left. Wang Ze followed them, leaving only Ouyang Xin and Chen Ning in the hall.
After everyone left, Chen Ning stood up to bid farewell to Ouyang Xin. However, Ouyang Xin held Chen Ning's hand and said,""Brother Chen Ning, we haven't seen each other for many days. How can you leave so soon after coming to my Ouyang family? Come, let's go to my study room and sit down and have a good chat.”After saying that, she pulled Chen Ning's hand and walked towards her study.
Chen Ning felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard Ouyang Xin holding her hand. If it wasn't for the fact that Ouyang Xin was so fond of Qing Yixuan, Chen Ning would have suspected that he had a good relationship with Long Yang. However, Ouyang Xin was so passionate about her that Chen Ning couldn't reject him.
"Brother Chen Ning, if I'm not mistaken, you're a sixth level cultivator right now?”Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin came to his study. After they sat down, Ouyang Xin asked Chen Ning.
Chen Ning naturally had nothing to hide. Besides, Ouyang Xin's strength should be at the Xuan Master level, so he could not hide it either. He nodded slightly as an admission.
"Brother Chen Ning, tell me the truth. How long have you been cultivating?”Seeing Chen Ning nod, Ouyang Xin's face lit up as she continued to ask.
"About ten days!" Although Chen Ning didn't know why Ouyang Xin was asking this, he still answered truthfully.
Chen Ning was waiting for Ouyang Xin's reply. Seeing that there was no response for a long time, he couldn't help but look at Ouyang Xin. Ouyang Xin's mouth was wide open with a surprised expression on his face. He slowly continued,"Brother Chen Ning, what kind of monster are you? A sixth-level cultivator in ten days? Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Ouyang Xin gulped and continued.
Chen Ning shook his head in confusion, indicating that he was telling the truth. However, he couldn't help but ask Ouyang Xin curiously,""What's wrong? Did I cultivate very fast? Young Master Ouyang, what is your cultivation base?"
Hearing Chen Ning's words, Ouyang Xin's face twitched. " I, Ouyang Xin, really want to curse at you right now. I started cultivating when I was six years old, and I'm only a seventh-level Mystical Master at the age of twenty-two this year. Chen Ning, on the other hand, is a sixth-level Mystical Cultivator in ten days. Although his cultivation level is much lower than mine, it took me a year to reach sixth-level Mystical Cultivator."
