Chapter 28: Bai Ze (2/2)

Master Wuyuan sighed and continued, “A Core Formation could be defeated by someone in Refining Qi… I do not want to say much, but if you want to kill him, there are still plenty of opportunities. It would be best to act early; this child possesses extraordinary techniques.”

“Bing’er, you are not allowed to help him this time. Otherwise, this heart demon will trap him for a lifetime, and he must handle it himself.”

Jiang Ren gritted his silver teeth, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

“Master, this time, I will definitely capture this kid myself and make him admit how he stole my True Essence. After that, I will refine him into a corpse puppet to serve Master for eternity!”

Master Wuyuan nodded, noncommittal.

……

At Hermit Valley No. 66, the morning sunlight streamed in, creating a warm scene inside the room.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan’er sat at the dining table, drinking porridge accompanied by pickles and flatbread. In the humble and simple little house, they looked like an ordinary pair of farmer siblings.

However, one had a handsome and dashing appearance, while the other was stunningly beautiful, making them seem unlike ordinary farmers.

As Xuan’er ate, she lifted her head to look at Ning Wuxie, revealing a cute and satisfied smile. Ning Wuxie also changed his usual indifferent smile, gazing at Xuan’er with a kind and doting expression.

Xuan’er’s little face turned red, momentarily lost in thought as she looked at Ning Wuxie’s handsome face.

Not knowing if it was her illusion, she felt that her brother seemed particularly gentle today.

This made her even happier, and the little girl became more daring, wanting to sit on Ning Wuxie’s lap to eat.

“Why, why, didn’t brother say I was still a little kid?”

Xuan’er leaned on the table, blinking her big, watery eyes, and playfully twisted her shoulders.

Her stunningly cute face paired with her delicate voice softened Ning Wuxie’s heart, but he still finished his porridge in one gulp and stood up.

“No, brother still has things to do outside.”

“Why are you going out again? You will be out in the afternoon too. Xuan’er won’t see you all day.”

“Recently, it has been a bit busy. Once the competition ends, there will be nothing.”

Ning Wuxie ruffled Xuan’er’s head, telling her to stay home and behave, before leaving the small courtyard and heading towards the Spirit Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the Spirit Pavilion courtyard, Elder Xuanji unexpectedly appeared from nowhere.

“Ning little friend, what brings you to my Spirit Pavilion today?”

“Let’s say it’s about something again; I want to ask the elder for help.” Ning Wuxie said shamelessly.

“Feel free to speak!” Elder Xuanji waved his hand grandly, then squinted his eyes, revealing a thoughtful smile.

“What formation do you want this time? The Peach Blossom Formation? The Drunken Fragrance Chaotic Emotions Formation? I can give those to you directly.”

Ning Wuxie remained silent, realizing that even Elder Xuanji had appreciated his “works.”

This old man truly had no respect for his age. He appeared kind and amiable, yet secretly appreciated the recording orb!

Truly, one should not judge by appearances!

Did Ning Wuxie look like that kind of person?

“Then I will respectfully accept. Next time I have a job, I will send it to you at the first opportunity.”

Ning Wuxie said with a beaming smile, the implication clear.

Elder Xuanji was taken aback, seemingly not having reacted.

Did he just admit it? Could it be that the recording orb was indeed filmed by him?!

Truly, one should not judge by appearances!

But having reached this point in the conversation, he could only shake his head with a smile and reached into his storage ring to pull out two cushions, which were formations that assisted in intimate matters between men and women, of very low grade.

Ning Wuxie intended to take them, but it was merely to give them to Qin Jiuyou to build human relationships.

“You brat, hurry up and say it, what exactly are you here for?”

Ning Wuxie resumed a serious expression:

“Elder, actually I came this time to exchange for that set of Heavenly Heart Sword Formation in your hands.”
