Chapter 145 The Peony Is Beautiful
Kong Ning, quietly returned to Tongming Lane.
Today, he doesn't plan to go out.
The outside world was too weird and terrifying for him.
The streets are full of Su Yan, and the whole city is full of Su Yan... In such a world, even if he knew it was fake, he still couldn't bear it.
In the yard, there is smoke and fire coming from the kitchen.
Two Su Yan, one big and one small, are busy in the kitchen.
When Kong Ning walked into the yard, little Su Yan said happily.
"Master! Just wait a little longer, the noodles will be cooked soon."
This familiar voice, the familiar way of greeting, made Kong Ning's brows tremble suddenly.
Something creepy.
He subconsciously looked at the stove, but fortunately there was no long neck stretched out in the stove.
The two figures, one big and one small, were just cooking noodles in the kitchen.
The older one, Su Yan, noticed that Kong Ning was looking at her, and turned her head and said, "I bought some Yanlang noodles on the way... This is a famous noodle shop in Hejian Prefecture. The ancestral craft has sold dried noodles for three generations. Now cooking Give the son a taste...do you eat spicy food?"
Kong Ning looked at Su Yan who was dressed in white in the kitchen room, was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "If you don't eat spicy food, just add some chopped green onion."
After speaking, Kong Ning walked under the peach blossom tree and sat cross-legged.
The demon power in the body is swimming in the meridians, trying to find the focus of the scorpion poison.
However, the demon force went round and round, searching all limbs and bones, but failed to find the breath of scorpion poison.
That weird scorpion venom didn't seem to exist.
Or, it has already merged with him.
Kong Ning was slightly speechless.
That is to say, at a certain time in the future, maybe on the first day of every month, everyone he sees will be Su Yan?
Or is there another seizure cycle? How many days?
Kong Ning thought about such a thing.
The noodles cooked for him were already served steaming hot.
Su Yan, who was dressed in white, stood under the peach blossom tree and said with a smile, "Master, face."
She handed over a bowl of plain noodles sprinkled with chopped green onion, soy sauce and salt.
Kong Ning glanced at her, took the bowl of noodles silently, and began to eat in small mouthfuls.
Not long after, the three finished their noodles, and Kong Ning went to wash the dishes.
Su Yan, who was dressed in white, sat under the eaves and began to teach little Su Yan how to read and write.
After Kong Ning cleaned up the dishes, he returned to the yard, sat alone under the peach blossom tree, and practiced silently.
In the courtyard, it was quiet and quiet, only the voice of Da Suyan teaching Xiao Suyan to read could be heard from time to time.
Although it is very close to the busy city, it can be regarded as quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle.
However, it didn't take long before the courtyard door was knocked and a visitor came.
The silence here was broken.
Kong Ning, who was sitting under the peach blossom tree, frowned slightly.
Now everyone he sees, and all the auras he perceives are exactly the same as Su Yan.
I don't even know who the outsider is.
"Miss Liu, please open the door for me," Kong Ning said, "By the way, tell me who is outside the door."
Kong Ning opened his mouth to order, but Su Yan, who was dressed in white, didn't think it was disobedient, she nodded obediently and got up, saying: "Okay."
After speaking, Su Yan got up and opened the door.
Then he said: "My lord, you are a guest of the Black Lotus Sect. The lady sword attendant next to the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus has come to visit."
Kong Ning frowned and said, "Why is the Black Lotus Sect here?"
Although he guessed that the Black Lotus Sect would not stop there and would definitely look for Liu Ruxue, he did not expect to come so soon.
Moreover, he directly found Kong Ning's residence.
This made Kong Ning a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't like the feeling of being stared at, even if it's only mortals who are staring at him.
Not to mention that the Black Lotus Sect is swaggering around in the city, and being involved with them, there is a high probability of entering the sight of demons, which is not a good thing for Kong Ning.
And the Black Lotus Sword Attendant outside the door said loudly after hearing Kong Ning's answer.
"Hong Dou is ordered by the saint to send a gift to Mr. Kong Ning."
"The holy girl was worried that the young master didn't see enough last night, so she ordered Hongdou to send the painting for the young master to enjoy all night."
The voice outside the courtyard door was still Su Yan's.
But the content of the words made Kong Ning astonished.
He got up and went out, looked at Su Yan who was wearing a black lotus robe at the door, frowned and said, "What painting?"
The maid of the Black Lotus Sect who looked like Su Yan respectfully handed over a scroll of framed paintings.
After Kong Ning took it, he opened it directly.
Under the sunlight, what appeared on the scroll was a stunning picture of red peonies.
Kong Ning's pupils suddenly constricted.
This peony picture is exactly the same as the tattoo on the back of the Black Lotus Saintess!
Reconnect with the words just now...
Kong Ning looked at Su Yan in front of him coldly, and asked, "What else did you saintess say?"
Su Yan, who was wearing the black lotus robe, respectfully said: "The saint said, if you are not satisfied with just looking at the picture scroll, you can go to Wangjiang Tower tonight."
"Tonight, the Holy Maiden will host a banquet in the Wangjiang Tower to wait for the young master."
"The saint also said that if you like peonies, you can go there in person and enjoy them to your heart's content. You don't need to hide outside the door to peek. Although peonies are beautiful, you need a gentleman to break the branches to have a variety of styles."
Liu Ruxue on the side was slightly surprised by what the maid Hongdou said, not knowing what happened.
Kong Ning looked at the scroll unfolded in his hand and the lifelike red peonies on it, and remained silent.
Finally, he nodded and said: "Yes. Go back and tell your saintess that I will go to the appointment tonight."
Su Yan, who was wearing a robe, immediately saluted respectfully, and said, "Hongdou is retiring."
After finishing speaking, Su Yan, who was wearing the black lotus robe, turned and left.
Kong Ning and Liu Ruxue stood at the door, quietly watching his figure disappear.
Liu Ruxue asked in confusion: "My lord, what is the meaning of the painting given by the Saintess of the Black Lotus? Why did you agree to see her?"
Kong Ning put away the scroll in his hand, took a deep breath, and said.
"I can't go if I don't go... That demon girl has already set her sights on me."
After saying that, Kong Ning closed the courtyard door, turned around and said: "I was negligent. I thought all the big monsters in the city were going to participate in the so-called Double Ninth Banquet, so I relaxed my vigilance."
"But I didn't expect that the saint of the Black Lotus Sect is not only a mortal, but also a monster whose cultivation level is far beyond mine."
"Even higher than I guessed... at least above the Yuanshen realm! Otherwise, I won't be able to see through my illusion."
"This kind of cultivation is probably higher than the monster kings in those big devil caves in the city."
"Maybe on the day I entered the city, when I stood on a high place and looked at her with my magic eyes, she had already noticed it..."
"Maybe at that time, she had her eyes on me."
"And my visit to the Black Lotus Sect's general altar last night, and my behavior of peeping outside her boudoir, is even more self-inflicted."
"She came to the door today, and she will never give up."
Speaking of this, Kong Ning let out a long breath, and said: "As soon as I entered the city, I provoked such a big monster... My luck is really great."
