Chapter 1147 The Arrival of Shangguan

Ji Ning arrived at his bamboo house and went up to the second floor.

After entering the room, like Tang Feng, he put out the oil lamp, ignored the incense, and went out again.

The layout of these bamboo buildings is roughly the same. His building also has an open-air terrace. At the end of the terrace, there are also bamboo chairs for enjoying the cool weather.

But what he has here is a half-reclining rocking chair and a small coffee table.

There is a teapot and cup on the coffee table, as well as a paper bag with a label with the word "tea" on it. Under the coffee table, there is a thermos.

Things like this are extremely rare these days.

The shell of this thermos is also made of bamboo. It has been used for a few years and has traces of smoke on it.

There is no water or electricity in this mountain. If you want to drink some hot water every day, you have to burn it with firewood on the stove and put it in a thermos. This thing is almost extinct in big cities, but it is a necessity of life here.

Ji Ning went straight to the recliner and sat sideways. Instead of lying down, he reached out and picked up the thermos. With its weight, he could feel that the thermos was full of water.

Presumably, Mrs. Li was afraid that they would drink water at night, so she specially prepared it for them.

The expression on Ji Ning's face relaxed a bit.

He opened the tea bag, put it under his nose and smelled it. He didn't have much research on tea. He only got this hobby after getting to Tang Feng's side. He smelled the tea and it was very fragrant. He thought it was this year. The new tea, as for the quality and grade of this tea, he couldn't tell.

However, Ji Ning didn't mind. He took some and put it in the teapot, poured hot water and brewed it. Then he leaned back, half-lying on the recliner, and watched the dense heat coming from the teapot. Ribbed up.

Lying on the recliner, Ji Ning could see the stars in the night sky.

In this mountain, there is less pollution than in the city, and the air is cleaner. Even more stars can be seen. The starry sky is bright, and from time to time, shooting stars streak across the sky.

The night in the mountains was very pure, and it suited Jin Ning's temperament very well.

He has always liked silence and doesn't like too much interpersonal communication. Before meeting Tang Feng, he focused on cultivation. It was only recently that he had more contact with other people.

He felt that such mountains and forests were vast, sparsely populated, and full of outstanding people. It was an excellent place to practice without being disturbed.

Listening to the buzzing of insects in his ears, and other than that, there was no other noise. Ji Ning's eyes fell on the night sky, and a vague light gradually rose in his eyes.

Just when his eyes narrowed slightly, they suddenly opened wide again. Then, he straightened up and uttered one word in a low, but short and powerful voice: "Who?"

Although he was staring at the sky, as if he was about to fall asleep, his ears were always open and he could hear the sounds around him clearly.

Just below the bamboo building, a low voice came, with a bit of coldness, and only replied with one word: "Me."

Although there is only one word, the sound can be heard and it is very beautiful.

Ji Ning's face, which was originally tense, instantly relaxed.

At the same time, under the moonlight, a tall and graceful figure walked up from the stairs.

What caught Ji Ning's eyes was a face that had not been painted with makeup. It had a cold complexion, but it was very beautiful. Her brows and eyes showed a capable look, with neat short hair, slender hands and feet, and light steps.

The person who came was none other than Shangguan.

Ji Ning only realized when the person arrived under his bamboo house. He had already raised his guard, but when he found out it was Shangguan, he felt relieved.

Shangguan's level is now comparable to his, and the two of them can be considered equal. It is normal that he only discovered her when she got close.

However, Ji Ning didn't know why Shangguan came over at this time and just looked at her.

The bright moonlight shrouded Shangguan's body, as if covering her with a layer of silver gauze.

Shangguan didn't seem to be in a hurry. She walked slowly and stepped on the bamboo building without making any sound. She came over quietly.

Ji Ning himself walked over it. He knew that even if such a bamboo structure was very strong, it would inevitably make noise when walking over it.

Shangguan walked like this, seemingly unhurriedly, but in fact, he had already put in a lot of effort under his feet to avoid making any noise from the bamboo boards.

Shangguan arrived in front of the small coffee table without saying a word. Without any greetings or politeness, he directly picked up an empty cup and poured a cup of tea.

The tea had just been brewed, and Ji Ning didn't even have a chance to take a sip. He didn't know how the tea tasted, so he let Shangguan taste it first.

Ji Ning saw Shangguan pouring tea, and after she put down the teapot, she also poured herself a cup.

There is still steam rising from the tea cup.

Ji Ning put the tea cup on the small coffee table, waited for it to cool down, and then turned his attention to Shangguan.

Shangguan held the tea cup in his hand. Because it was a little hot, he held it with both hands. He stood at the railing, raised his head slightly, and looked into the night sky. After a while, he felt that the tea in the cup was ready for his mouth, and then he gently Take a sip.

After the tea entered his mouth, Shangguan said softly: "This tea is similar to the one in that restaurant. Although the tea is not as good as the one in that shop, the water is very clear. It must be because it is close to the source. Because of this, it’s even sweeter.”

When she spoke, she did not look at Ji Ning, but still looked at the night sky. Her words seemed to be talking to herself.

Ji Ning didn't care.

He had long been accustomed to Shangguan's attitude.

And in ordinary times, he and Shangguan were almost the same. When the two of them communicated, it was always like this.

After listening to Shangguan's words, Ji Ning also picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then nodded to express his agreement with Shangguan's words.

He didn't ask Shangguan what she was doing here, he just waited for her to tell him.

Shangguan took another sip of tea and then said: "There are so many stars in the sky, where is their final destination?"

When Ji Ning heard this, the hand that was originally holding the teacup hovered in mid-air, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Before he could speak, Shangguan's faint voice sounded again: "If in those days, those cultivating immortals really achieved positive results and reached the fairyland through the teleportation formation, then these fairyland must be on a certain star, and Those in the fairyland have to go through a lot of hardships if they want to return here."

Ji Ning slowly placed the tea cup on the coffee table. He looked at Shangguan, his expression was a bit serious, and his tone was very serious: "You mean, Mr. Tang?"
