Chapter 462 The Price
"The Renzong has only ten thousand disciples, but it has tens of thousands of servants."
"Most of these servants dream of becoming official disciples of the Renzong one day."
"But for the servants, Renzong will not provide any skills or resources. The servants can only rely on their own efforts to get ahead."
"So, martial arts is prevalent in Renzong City, and the most popular ones in the city are martial arts gyms."
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er held hands and walked on the streets of Renzong City.
There were no people on the street anymore, and it was full of garbage and items discarded when moving out.
There used to be tens of thousands of servants living here. These servants were to serve the disciples of the Renzong and do some chores other than killing enemies.
In order to serve these servant lives, other related industries have also moved in, such as these martial arts schools.
It is said to be a martial arts school, but in fact, the art of cultivating immortals and breathing is also taught. After all, the human sect is no better than ordinary sects, and the mortal martial arts here are somewhat not up to par.
"Although I have experience practicing in the Zhenyuan Sect and have learned basic skills, I spent most of my time in the outer sect. As soon as I entered the inner sect, the Zhenyuan Sect was destroyed by the devil."
Xuan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother is so unlucky."
"That's right." Ning Wuxie smiled bitterly, "After I came to Renzong City, I realized that even the servants' cultivation techniques are stronger than those of Zhenyuan Sect's inner sect. It's simply..."
"I work hard every day, trying to join a martial arts school and learn one or two powerful techniques. At the same time, Renzong's tasks are heavy, and it is normal for me to be so tired every day that my whole body aches and I can't move."
Ning Wuxie said softly, recalling his experience of starting from scratch and embarking on the path of spiritual cultivation.
"Didn't you say that you were tortured by the Tianxiang Charming Body at that time?" Xuan'er squeezed Ning Wuxie's palm with force.
"Then let's not mention it." Ning Wuxie turned away embarrassedly.
Seeing his expression, Xuan'er immediately became interested and leaned in front of him with a smile on her lips.
"Why don't you mention it, please mention it~"
"You wouldn't go to a brothel to relieve your loneliness with those cowards."
Xuan'er's eyes were smiling, but this smile was completely different from before. Ning Wuxie's scalp immediately went numb after just one look at it.
"How is it possible? At that time, I was focused on cultivation, so how could I lose my vitality?" Ning Wuxie quickly argued, "It's just... to promote traditional crafts."
"Oh yo yo, really?"
The smile in Xuan'er's eyes grew a little more, and at the same time, her scrutiny of Ning Wuxie's words became more severe!
"Of course it's true." Ning Wuxie stood upright and was not afraid of the slanting shadow.
After looking at Ning Wuxie for a while, Xuan'er smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I believe you."
She was just joking to tease Ning Wuxie.
"It's a good thing you met me," she hummed, "otherwise, what would you do with your life?"
"Yes, thank you!" Ning Wuxie responded weakly in a long tone.
Neither of them spoke, their hands held each other tightly.
"What happened next?" Xuan'er asked.
"Later, I worked hard to save money, joined a martial arts school called Fei Hai, and then started practicing."
"I gradually learned to control my chaotic body, suppressing and transforming the harmful aspects of my practice, and my talents were also stimulated."
"Later, during a mission, our group of handymen were originally going to be sent away as cannon fodder, but I discovered the traces of the devil and kept everyone safe. It just so happened that during that mission, Li Luobing Also there.”
Xuan'er looked at Ning Wuxie, "Did she promote you?"
"Well, she got me into the Human Sect and became an official disciple, so I have always been on her side in my previous life."
Xuan'er stopped talking and lowered her head slightly.
"So, you must have had a good impression of her at that time."
"...Yes." Ning Wuxie said.
For him at that time, it was impossible not to be attracted to Li Luobing. She was a genius, had peerless beauty, and she also helped him.
Although it was a toad that wanted to eat swan meat, the young man could not help but have wild thoughts in his heart.
He glanced at Xuan'er and thought she wouldn't be angry.
Unexpectedly, Xuan'er burst out laughing when she heard his admission.
"Well said, now I believe you have never found those brothel girls." She said with a full smile, turned around and turned Ning Wuxie's face sideways, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him domineeringly.
Ning Wuxie was stunned. This is using the second question to test the first question!
"Why did I lie to you..." Ning Wuxie wiped the saliva marks on her face.
It is said that a kiss between middle-aged couples can cause nightmares for several nights.
But for immortal cultivators, this problem does not exist.
Ning Wuxie is still handsome and tall, except that her appearance is more stable than before and she has green stubble on her lips.
Not to mention Xuan'er, a mere forty years is nothing to her Hexu realm, there are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her skin is still as clear as jade.
Having given birth to a child has made her figure plumper. Her clothes are full at the top but empty at the bottom. She doesn't dare to wear clothes that are too tight when walking outside.
After being kissed by her, Ning Wuxie felt a little happy.
"Kiss me again."
"It's a beautiful thought."
They walked all the way to the tall tower in the center of Renzong City, which was Ye Qingxuan's home base.
The Confucian disciples and others have already started searching here, looking through various letters and materials to find if there are any Tianxu accomplices who have slipped through the net.
Seeing Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er coming in, the Confucian disciples along the way bowed their heads and made way. A disciple told Ning Wuxie that Xun Zhu was waiting for him in the tower.
"They all admire you so much now." Xuan'er whispered.
Ning Wuxie smiled and said nothing.
The two climbed up to the eighteenth floor of the tower and saw Xun Zhu and Meng Cangran in a huge room on the top floor.
"Master Ning," Master Xun called, "Come and see."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Wuxie and Meng Cangran's faces changed.
Xun Zhu, an old man with a gray beard, called Ning Wuxie, a young man who looked no more than thirty, "Master". He really couldn't bear it!
Meng Cangran was dumbfounded. He must call Xun Zhu "Teacher", and he always called Ning Wuxie "Brother Ning"!
Isn't this a generation difference!
Ning Wuxie hurriedly said, "Master Xun, just call me by my name. I'm sorry for embarrassing you."
Master Xun seemed to realize that he had confused the generational relationship, and his old face turned red. "Hey, Ning Wuxie, look, we found this letter at Ye Qingxuan's place."
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er walked over to check, and saw that it was a narrow note with a line of small words on it.
"You Youshan's brother You Youxin, who was sheltering in Dongli Mountain, will be killed immediately, and Zhujian Villa will be destroyed."
Ning Wuxie's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Xun Zhu.
"Zhujian Villa, has it been destroyed?"
In the battle in the northern border, Xiao Qiuxian and You Youshan were both crushed into pieces by Ye Qingxuan's Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Leaves, and no bones were left.
Although Ye Qingxuan attacked indiscriminately, he also focused on his targets, and poured most of his green leaves on Ning Wuxie's people.
His body and the blood of his enemies were scattered on the snowy plains of the northern border, and he stayed there forever.
You Youxin was also from Tianxu, but he did not appear in that war. Ning Wuxie was thinking about looking for him after the matter was over.
But he did not expect that he had been killed because he helped his brother. Even the Sword-Forging Villa, which had been passed down by the You family for hundreds of years, was gone.
"During the war, I heard that when he was fighting with the people from Tianxu, the people told him about his brother's murder and the massacre of the Sword-Forging Villa in order to interfere with him." Xuan'er said softly.
Ning Wuxie's heart trembled.
So he knew it at that time...
"What about Lingji Pavilion?" He suddenly thought of Xiao Qiuxian and turned to look at Xun Zhu.
Xun Zhu's face was gloomy and he also shook his head.
Lingji Pavilion was also massacred...
That is to say, the Xuanji elder who helped him in the Hermit Valley was also...
