Chapter 196 Flowers and Leaves

The next day, Ning Wuxie and Mo Xin went to the palace to meet Mo Xiang and put forward their requests to him.

During this year, as Ning Wuxie's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, Mo Xiang's attitude towards him also changed greatly.

The demon king Mo Xiang, who used to be fierce and domineering, would occasionally be submissive in front of Ning Wuxie, as if Ning Wuxie held some kind of lifeline and handle on him.

When he was at a loss in the blood experiment and wanted to advance the experiment by any means, Ning Wuxie would interrupt him directly and stop those crazy behaviors.

Even for some other decisions, Mo Xiang would seek Ning Wuxie's opinions. Even if he would not adopt all of them, he would listen patiently.

This made Mo Ming and all the servants secretly shocked, knowing that Mo Xiang was going to entrust the dynasty to Ning Wuxie and ask him to assist Mo Xin.

Therefore, when Ning Wuxie proposed that he would take the risk to absorb the power of the meteorite in Yunlan Mountain to improve his cultivation, Mo Xiang was surprised and reluctant, but he did not prohibit it.

"If you want to go... then go, just come back early."

Mo Xiang still wrapped himself in three layers of heavy clothes all year round, and it seemed that he was wrapped more. His body became more bloated than when Ning Wuxie first saw him.

His face was also extremely old and weak. When there were no outsiders in the palace, even his voice was extremely weak.

Ning Wuxie and Mo Xin looked at him worriedly, knowing that this was because he was still conducting his craziest experiment.

Using his own flesh and blood to raise the beast!

Ning Wuxie was just helping him conduct the experiment of the dragon-human transformation of the Mo Jiao clan. He had many other projects in private.

"Your Majesty must take good care of your body and don't worry about the experiment."

"Wait until I come back after cultivation." Ning Wuxie said, as a tactful admonition.

Mo Xiang smiled helplessly upon hearing this, waved his hand, and said nothing more.

After leaving the palace, Ning Wuxie did not delay any longer and immediately prepared to set off for Yunlan Mountain!

"Third Princess, you must delay Li Luobing and the others for me, and don't let them catch up."

"Understood, don't worry, they live in the south of the city, I sent people to keep an eye on them last night, and I won't let them leave Canglong City."

Ning Wuxie nodded gratefully, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards his yard.

Xuan'er was already waiting in the house with the package, and when she saw Ning Wuxie coming back, she went straight to greet him. The two did not say much, put on a cloak that covered their faces tightly, and turned to walk out of Mo Xin's house.

The two took a shortcut and came to the Feipeng Nest in Canglong City. This is where Feipeng takes off and lands. There are many businessmen or passengers waiting in line after being inspected.

The five holy guards led by Mo Ming were also covered in black robes. When they saw Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er appear, they immediately turned around and walked towards the other flying roc waiting on the nest.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er followed, and several people climbed onto the flying roc. It flapped its wings that were dozens of feet long, rolled up a gust of wind, soared up into the blue sky, and flew north.

…

Li Luobing was standing in the patio of a hostel he found, staring at an old tree beside him in a daze.

This tree was something Li Luobing had never seen before. It should be a species unique to Lanyuan. The branches looked dark and strong, and quite strange. However, on the highest branch of this old tree, there was actually a flower.

It was a white flower as white as jade, clear and warm, with large petals, blooming to its heart's content. In this early autumn when the temperature was gradually cooling, it was still blooming with a proud attitude.

And the only thing accompanying it on the whole tree was a green leaf below its flower bud.

Unlike the white flower, which is strong and vigorous, this green leaf obviously can't stand the early autumn climate. It keeps shaking in the breeze and is about to fall.

But despite this, it still clings to the branch, accompanying the white flower.

Li Luobing lost her mind for a while. She spent a long time last night to calm down and fall asleep successfully. Now seeing the white flower and green leaf, she can't help but think of Ning Wuxie's words last night.

"He must not be willing to stay in your shadow all the time."

"In this society, men should be stronger than women to match... otherwise they will only attract criticism."

"You don't seem to have a blood relationship."

Every word, as if it was ringing in my ears at this moment, emerged in my mind vividly, clearer and more shocking than when I heard it last night!

Li Luobing was shocked, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, staring at the white flower and green leaf in a daze.

When she faced Ning Wuxie last night, she certainly couldn't admit or retreat. And she didn't believe what Ning Wuxie said, so she didn't think about it anymore.

But that was just what she didn't want to believe.

Alone now, seeing the white flowers and green leaves, those words seemed to crawl out from the edge of her thoughts and drill into her mind like a maggot.

How could she not know whether Jiang Ren cared about her thoughts or not.

He was indeed arrogant and domineering... Could it be that he was just hiding his inferiority complex that he was not worthy of her...?

Li Luobing thought of Jiang Ren's duel with Ning Wuxie on the ring, and how he was provoked by Ning Wuxie to accept the challenge in front of him in the Lishan Forest, and how he collapsed when he saw the disgusting photo ball made by Ning Wuxie...

The shock and astonishment in Li Luobing's eyes became more and more real, and even if he wanted to hide and suppress it, he couldn't suppress it.

Could it be that Ah Ren has always been the green leaf that wants to stay by her side?

How is it possible! I have always treated him like a brother!

In an instant, the murderer Zong Shaowu Palace Attendant even breathed rapidly, his face turned red and white, his chest kept rising and falling, and even his hands trembled slightly.

"Ah Ren...you..."

Jiang Ren actually liked to love her, how could she accept this!

She cared for Jiang Ren without reservation, and never put on airs. The two of them had been arm in arm since they were young, and said whatever they wanted.

How could such a person become an object of admiration, how could they become a Taoist partner?

When did it start?

Once a thought has formed a sign, it will be like a water snake, madly traveling in the river of memory, constantly looking for those memory fragments that have been hidden and about to be forgotten, swallowing them up, and confirming itself.

The more Li Luobing thought about it, the more rapid his breathing became and the more emotional he became.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Before Li Luobing could suppress his emotions after being frightened, the man rushed in, knocked on the door hastily, and came directly in front of Li Luobing.

"Palace attendant, Mo Xin sent someone..."

The person who came was Li Luobing's closest subordinate, named Wang Fengran, who was in his late thirties, with a broad and square face and looked very reliable.

He was about to report the situation in a hurry, when he saw Li Luobing's face flushed, his chest heaving, his fists clenched in front of his chest, and he looked excited.

Seeing him break in, he was actually a little flustered.

What is he doing?

"Palace attendant..."

"Why did you break in without knocking? Where did your etiquette go!"

After being caught in his emotional state, Li Luobing was shocked and embarrassed for a moment, and immediately felt angry and annoyed, and cursed.

"Get out, report again and come in!!"

"This... is!" Wang Fengran hesitated in astonishment, quickly said yes, and ran out of the courtyard in shame.

Obviously, there were several times before when he came in without reporting. Doesn't Li Dianshi attach great importance to work efficiency...

He came to the door, knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "Dianshi Sir, Shaowu Dianshi Wang Fengran has important things to report!"

There was no response. He waited for more than a minute before he heard Li Luobing's reply.

"Come in."

Wang Fengran stood up and walked in, and saw that Li Luobing had returned to normal.

Her beautiful face was white and clear, her expression was cold and indifferent, one hand on her waist, her slender body was heroic, and she was dignified and majestic.

"What's the matter?" Li Luobing said lightly, without a trace of the previous loss of composure.

"Did you report to the Lord Dianshi, it was Mo Xin. Mo Xin sent a messenger to say that if we have any request or want to contact her, we can use this messenger."

"The implication is that this messenger will live with us."

"Did you search her?" Li Luobing narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We searched, everything is normal."

"Then just ignore him, we communicate with the sound transmission badge, so we are not afraid of him eavesdropping."

Wang Fengran nodded: "But, in addition to this guy, Zhang Er also found out about the situation." He frowned and continued.

"Mo Xin seems to be outside the hotel, and he also sent people to monitor him."

"Zhang Er has conducted five soul scans in a radius of ten miles from last night to now, and three people have been there from beginning to end."

As soon as these words came out, Li Luobing's eyes suddenly turned cold and she fell into deep thought.

After a moment, her eyes lit up, and she thought of something, and immediately jumped onto the roof and looked in the direction of the flying nest in Canglong City!

At this time, a flying roc just flapped its wings and flew away from the bird's nest on the dragon bone.

Li Luobing narrowed her eyes and watched the flying roc gradually fly to the north until it disappeared from sight.

She jumped off the eaves, called Wang Fengran to her, and said something in his ear. Wang Fengran's eyes were shocked, and he took the order and left.

Once again, she was the only one left in the yard. Li Luobing looked up at the white flower and green leaves again, no longer panicking or frightened.

"Ning Wuxie..." She gritted her teeth and spat out these words.

"No matter how Jiang Ren treated me, you bullied my brother and insulted me first!"

"I'm still going to kill you!"
