When Shi Ning listened to these people's words, he almost buried his head under the table, praying in his heart that Lin Panxin and Ao Ling would not say their names.

Fortunately, I had mentioned this matter to Lin Panxin before.

Lin Panxin looked at the people in the audience and said, "I'm sorry that Panxin can't tell."

"The top priority is that the Firefox group colluded with the demon cultivator."

Lin Panxin changed the topic in time, and everyone else could not ask more questions. . The topic turned to the matter of demon cultivators again.

Because of the collusion between the demon cultivator and the Fire Fox clan, all the immortal sects were present, so the disciples returned to the courtyard first, leaving the elders of each sect behind to discuss the matter of the demon cultivator.

After walking out of the hall, Shi Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Huanming sighed at the side: "I don't know who the benefactor Miss Lin and Miss Ao are talking about. I really want to see it."

"Benefactor" Shi Ning said quietly: "Brother, actually, don't have too much hope for this benefactor. It's just a fantasy, maybe she is just an ordinary person."

Yan Huanming didn't believe it, "How could it be possible? Miss Lin and Miss Ao are not ordinary people. The benefactor they talked about must be a great person."

Shi Ning looked at it. Often, there were many people talking, so they decided to wait until they returned to the sect before telling their senior brother about the matter. He changed the subject and said: "We should wait for Elder Ling Che to come back and quickly return to the sect. It is too dangerous for demonic cultivators to infest here. "

Indeed, we will set off in the afternoon. We will go back and wait for the elder first," Yan Huanming agreed.

Back in the room, Shi Ning lay on the bed, enjoying the rare silence. Looking at Shanjie licking his fur freely next to him, he said with envy: "How wonderful it is to be a cat."

Unexpectedly, Shanjie raised his head and glanced at Shi Ning, grinned and suddenly shouted deliberately: "Benefactor."

Shi Ning He quickly covered Shan Nai's mouth and said, "No, no, no, don't say it." Shan Nai laughed twice and jumped on the bed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Shi Ning, are you there?"

Lin Panxin came in with a smile and closed the door, "Don't worry, no one saw me coming."

"Sister Panxin, yes. What's going on?" Shi Ning asked.

Lin Panxin sat down at the table, took Shi Ning's hand and said reluctantly: "You are leaving soon, and I really can't bear to leave."

"There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Sister Panxin is free to host it ." Tianmen is looking for me."

Lin Panxin wiped her tears gently with a handkerchief, "Thank you for being here yesterday."

"Okay, let's not mention it. Please protect yourself from now on."

"Don't worry, sister. I will." After saying that, Lin Panxin took out a mustard seed and placed it in Shi Ning's palm.

The mustard seeds are dark red, and the fabric doesn't look anything special. It's like buying it from a stall on the street.

Lin Panxin said: "Sister, although this storage mustard seed is ordinary, it actually has something special inside."

"It's more than enough to hold so many things in ten rooms."

Shi Ning looked around the surrounding rooms and sighed. Said: "It can hold so much."

Lin Panxin said: "Not only that, this mustard seed is light and easy to carry, invulnerable to weapons and bullets, and is intact whether it is burned by fire or flooded."

"No one can use the contents of the mustard seed except the owner. "

Shi Ning praised: "It's really amazing."

Lin Panxin said, "It doesn't matter, just give it to my sister, as long as she finds it useful."

Shi Ning felt a little embarrassed, "You're giving it to me now?

" Of course, I'm just an ordinary mustard. If my sister is polite to me, it means she doesn't treat me as a sister."

"Okay, thank you sister," Shi Ning said gratefully.

Lin Panxin got up and walked outside the house, "By the way, I left something for my sister in the mustard seeds. I'll open it when I get back. I won't delay my sister's rest. I'll go to Chengtianmen to find you when I have time."

Just after seeing Lin Panxin off, Elder Ling Che came with Yan Huanming.

Ling Che sat down, looked at Shi Ning, and said succinctly: "I know everything."

Shi Ning first told the story of his encounter with Ao Ling, and then continued: "Actually, I also helped Ao Ling by chance. Sister Panxin."

Ling Che glanced at the mustard seeds on the table and said, "No matter you saved the Lin family intentionally or unintentionally, the Lin family will remember this kindness."

"But you will remember it in the future . You have to be careful too."

"After returning to the sect, there will be a sect competition. You have to practice hard and don't embarrass the Shi family."

After saying that, Ling Che walked away. It seemed that since the last time, Ling Che discovered that Shi Ning had changed. After the soul-inducing bell, his attitude towards her was no longer so cold. Shi Ning glanced at Yan Huanming next to him and said his guess.

Yan Huanming smiled and said nothing, "How do we know about the past?"

"I only occasionally heard that Elder Lingche and Master Shi were once love rivals."

"But in the end, Master Shi took the beauty home."

Shi Ning He exclaimed in surprise, "That's my grandma?"

Yan Huanming smiled and said, "I just heard about it."

"On the other hand, you didn't tell me in advance that such a big thing happened."

Shi Ning sighed. He said angrily, "I didn't expect that either."

"Anyway, you must pay attention to safety when you go out, and you must study hard when you get home."

"Although everyone doesn't know that the benefactor they talk about is you, demon cultivators have always been You are full of tricks, and once they discover you, you will be in danger." Yan Huanming said worriedly.

Shi Ning also felt a little worried when he heard this, "I will never leave the sect again." The outside world is too dangerous.

"I think so too. Don't go out on Hongbao missions in the future. It's too dangerous."

Since time traveling, Yan Huanming has taken care of Shi Ning like a big parent.

Although he had only been away from the sect for two or three days, when he lay on the bed again, Shi Ning felt that it was better to be at home.

In the middle of the night, when Shi Ning was about to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"I, Ao Ling."

Shi Ning opened the door and saw Ao Ling standing at the door.

Ao Ling took the lead and stepped into the room in order to be afraid that others would see her.

Since the last time Qingshui Tan said goodbye, this is the first time Shi Ning has stood so close to Ao Ling.

"I"

"You"

the two said almost in unison.

Ao Ling: "Speak first."

Shi Ning led Ao Ling in and said, "You don't need to explain, I understand everything."

"You said those words in Qingshuitan because you were afraid of implicating me."

Ao Ling's eyes turned red. "You know all about benefactor."

Now that he heard the word benefactor, Shi Ning felt a little bit PTSD, "Just call me Shi Ning or Ning Ning."

"So as not to be overheard."

Ao Ling agreed happily: "Okay, Ning Ning. "No matter what, I shouldn't have said that to you last time."

"It's okay. I know everything."

Aolin paused and said, "But I didn't expect that my benefactor would really avenge me. I won't thank you enough for my kindness. If my benefactor uses me in any way in the future, I will do my best. No problem."

Thinking of what happened last night, Shi Ning said awkwardly, "It was all just a coincidence."

"What happened last night?" Ao Ling asked.

Shi Ning looked at the empty fish tank outside the house and said, "After I came back from Qingshuitan, I found that all the whitebait in the yard had been cut open and killed."

"Is it Bai Yang?"

Shi Ning nodded, "Yes. , we found a small strand of red hair next to the fish tank. At first, I didn’t know who it belonged to.”

“After I found out that Shan Nai and I went to Kunshan, it was last night that Shan Nai suddenly smelled red hair. We came to a courtyard all the way. "

When Huohu was about to kill him, I suddenly knocked on the door, disrupting Huohu's plan."

"Huohu wanted to lure me away first, and then . When I came back to deal with Panxin, the soul-inducing bell I was carrying kept ringing, and the fire fox captured Bai Yang. The soul-inducing bell could force the person who captured the body to leave, so it just restricted the fire fox's actions again. Returned to the yard and rescued Lin Panxin."

Listening to Shi Ning's story, Ao Ling added: "I'm afraid if there hadn't been a soul-inducing bell, Fire Fox's plan might have been to harm you that night, and then kill Lin Panxin. The blame for death will be on you. This will cause conflicts between Kunshan and Chengtianmen, and they will take advantage of it."

Shi Ning nodded,

"Then what is your plan behind the conspiracy between the Fire Fox Clan and the Demon Cultivator? , I'm afraid he won't let go so easily."

Shi Ning sighed, "Take one step at a time and be careful at all times."

"Ning Ning, don't worry, I will never let you go . They will hurt you."

"You should take care of yourself. The Fire Fox clan will never give up if you live."

"Okay."

Ao Ling looked at the mustard seeds on Shi Ning's waist and asked curiously, "Shi Ning, this is it. Did you buy the new mustard seeds? "Is this one?" Shi

Ning opened it and said, "Sister Panxin gave it to me. It is said that it can hold as much as ten rooms."

Those who were somewhat interested in this mustard curled their lips after hearing Lin Panxin.

"Are you really that good at pretending?"

Shi Ning said without thinking, "Sister Panxin won't lie to me."

"I'll pretend one for you." After saying that, Shi Ning opened the mustard seeds, but as soon as he opened it, only It feels like the whole mustard seed is exuding a familiar golden light.

The golden light illuminated the entire room, and even Xanax, who was sleeping on the bed, felt it was dazzling. He covered his eyes with his paws and meowed dissatisfiedly.

Shi Ning's consciousness penetrated into the mustard seeds and he couldn't help but open his mouth, "This is too much."

Ao Ling asked curiously: "Ning Ning, what's in it?

" He took out a piece of gold that was taller than a man.

"It's this piece of gold that blocked the mouth of the mustard seed."

Ao Ling snorted, "Tacky." Shi

Ning thought that Lin Panxin just gave him a mustard seed, but he didn't expect that the mustard seed was actually filled to the brim.

After taking out the gold, Shi Ning dug through the mustard seeds again and found a large box of jewelry. Colorful. A pile of silks and satins of various kinds, from spring to winter, from light shirts to large cloaks. It is no exaggeration to say that Shi Ning has enough clothes in this life.

Shi Ning thought that Lin Panxin would just give him some small gifts, but he didn't expect such a big battle.

On the contrary, Ao Ling said from the side: "But the gifts are all vulgar things."

"I happen to have a place I want to take you to."

Shi Ning has been running around on the road these days and doesn't want to go there, so she politely declined Ao Ling's offer. ask.

"We'll go again after a while."

Ao Ling saw that Shi Ning looked really tired and had no choice but to agree. "I was planning to come here after dark, but I saw that many courtyards had not turned off the lights. So I postponed it until now."

"Everyone says that the disciples of Chengtian Clan are the hardest working, and it is true."

Shi Ning nodded . Said: "Yes, they all work hard, and no one wants to lose in the recent sect competition." Except Shi Ning.

"What is the sect competition?" Ao Ling asked, turning her head.

In the twelfth lunar month, there will be a sect competition. Chengtianmen has three peaks and twelve mountains. There are four mountains under each of the three peaks: white grass, red moon and green leaves.

Under Baicao Peak are the four mountains: Wan, Hao, Jiao, and Qiao.

Under the Red Moon Peak are the four mountains: red, vermilion, crimson and fei.

Under Qingye Peak are the four mountains: Dai, Bi, Cui and Qing.

Shi Ning and Yan Huanming lived in Aishan.

First of all, one disciple from each mountain will be selected for Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, and Out of Body. Similar to auditions. Then, the four mountains under one peak will compete again. For example, four disciples in the foundation-building stage compete again to select the top foundation-builder at that peak. The same goes for other realms, with five disciples selected from each peak. This is the retest.

In the finals, three disciples from each realm in the three peaks within the Chengtian Sect will compete and the first place in that realm will be selected as a reward.

The above is the entire process of the sect competition.

In addition to the competitions arranged within the sect, within a month of the twelfth lunar month, disciples can also challenge each other. But only within the same realm, no matter where you click, you can’t refuse.

The person who wins the most challenges among all challenges during this period will also receive a gift carefully prepared by the elder leader. It is possible to use magical elixirs, fairy grass, magic weapons, and techniques. The disciple who loses the most times at the same time will have to clean the library for a year.

Therefore, at the end of every year, the cultivation mood in the sect is at its highest.

After hearing Shi Ning's explanation, Ao Ling asked, "Ning Ning, are you competing?"

Shi Ning was a little embarrassed when he mentioned this, because before he fell into coma, he was the best choice to clean the library every year. The library is so big and shabby that half your life will be lost if you clean it.

And this year, Shi Ning has just started building the foundation, and she is the one with the lowest cultivation level at the foundation level.

As expected, when Shi Ning opened the door the next day, there was already a long queue at the door.

"Junior sister, you are back."

"Yes, we have missed you these past few days since you were away from the sect." A few people standing at the front said warmly.

Shi Ning smiled but didn't smile. How could he miss me? He just wanted to hit me.

The author has something to say:

The male protagonist comes out in the next chapter, and the emotional line is finally about to begin.
