Ning Yuzhou simply mentioned what he learned from Feng Sanniang, which still surprised Emperor Cheng Hao.
"So that's how it is."
Emperor Cheng Hao was stunned, and finally understood why there were so many foreign cultivators in Lintai Hunting Valley this time. It can be said that the cultivators of Dongling had encountered an unreasonable disaster. Practitioners are treated as hunting grounds.
But even so, what can they say? Could it be that the Holy Martial Hall was to be blamed for looking for the Chosen Son
The Chosen Son has always had a lot to do with the entire Shengwu Continent, a small Dongling can't say anything.
Moreover, with the status of the Holy Martial Palace, no one can compete with it in the small land of Dongling, not to mention that Ning Zhezhou is already the candidate for the Chosen Son recorded on the Holy Martial Tablet.
Recalling the previous conversation with brother Yin Xingheng from the Holy Martial Palace, Emperor Cheng Hao sighed slightly in his heart.
When Emperor Cheng Hao finally calmed down, he saw Ning Yuzhou, who looked like he had nothing to do with himself, was polishing a flowerpot carved from Lingshi with English sandstone. go.
Emperor Cheng Hao's agitated and complicated mood caused by the matter of the Holy Martial Palace soon calmed down.
He laughed and said, "What are you doing with a flowerpot carved out of Lingyu?"
"Naturally it is useful."
Only then did Emperor Cheng Hao notice the white jade basin and the monster rabbit gnawing on the elixir on the table, and he couldn't help being stunned.
The little Miao Miao in the white jade basin tried hard to pretend that she was a grass, without even moving the leaves, so she acted very realistically.
The demon rabbit was not interested in Emperor Cheng Hao, so he licked the panacea next to the white jade basin, and then looked at Miao Miaomiao, who looked docile and harmless, no one knew that this little rabbit was actually a mutated sixth-order demon rabbit , can be brutal.
Whether it's the little Miao Miao in the white jade pot, or the monster rabbit holding the elixir, both of them seem too ordinary to attract attention, and Emperor Cheng Hao didn't see anything special about them.
But now they are here, obviously raised by Ning Yuzhou.
Emperor Cheng Hao only glanced at it, didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Why don't you see your wife?"
"We're separated." Ning Yuzhou said flatly.
Emperor Cheng Hao was stunned again, "When did it happen? Where did you get separated?" After asking, he quickly realized that his expression was a little subtle, and he couldn't help but look at his younger son, and found that his expression was indifferent, and there was still a smile on his brow. There was no anxiety or sadness in that gentle appearance.
For a moment, Emperor Cheng Hao doubted his guess.
"Xiaoqi, your daughter-in-law..." He hesitated to speak, as if he was afraid of poking his son's sadness.
Although Ning Yuzhou didn't want to explain more, but it's not easy for the old father to guess at will, so he had to say: "I and I were separated in the Yaoxiu cave in Lintai Hunting Valley, but I know she is still alive, so you don't have to think too much about it." .”
When Wen Qiao heard Ning Yuzhou's words, she almost wanted to move the leaf to show that she was really still alive, so her father-in-law shouldn't think too much about it.
Still alive, but nowhere to be seen, could it be...
"Your daughter-in-law was taken away by those outside cultivators?" Emperor Cheng Hao's expression turned ugly.
When Ning Huayuan discovered the outside cultivators, many outside practitioners plundered towards Lintai Mountain. Due to the large number of people, they only came and left some of them, and many of them escaped. It's not that they didn't send people into Lintai Mountain to look for them, but those few people were able to escape in full view, their cultivation level is quite good, and they may have escaped from Dongling by now.
Ning Yuzhou didn't expect him to come up with such a brain, but it saved him from making excuses to cover up for Auntie, so he didn't explain any more.
This silent attitude also made Emperor Cheng Hao more sure, he couldn't help but sighed, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will send someone to look for it, I believe that your daughter-in-law is auspicious, she will be fine..."
The more he talked, the more uncertain Emperor Cheng Hao became.
Those escaped foreign cultivators have extremely high cultivation levels. Can Wen Qiao, a low-level female cultivator who has entered the primordial realm, survive by luck? Even if she survived by luck, but her health is not good, where can she escape? The world outside Dongling is huge, with countless cultivators, and the number of strong ones is unknown. One can imagine what happened to Wen Qiao, a low-level female cultivator who is not in good health.
Ning Yuzhou glanced at him, his eyes flickered, and said, "I'll find it myself."
"What?" Emperor Cheng Hao was taken aback, "You decided to go by yourself? No! Xiaoqi, you have survived for so many years, and after another year, when the ban in your body is lifted, you..."
"It has been broken." Ning Yuzhou said.
Emperor Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and hurriedly said: "It's broken? How could it be? Isn't there still one year left? Then your body..."
Ning Yuzhou hurriedly comforted his worried old father, and said in a gentle voice, "Father, don't worry, there is nothing wrong, I can practice now."
Ning Yuzhou had an excuse for breaking the ban in his body a year earlier. He only said that it was the opportunity he got in the Yaoxiu Cave, which allowed him to practice in advance, and no one knew that it was related to Wen Qiao's blood essence. Although he trusted his father, at this stage Ning Yuzhou didn't want anyone other than himself to know that Wen Qiao had a magical blood.
After hearing this, Emperor Cheng Hao was relieved a lot and was extremely happy.
He always thought that his son would have to wait for the weak crown before he could practice. At that time, the reputation of the useless material would be wiped away with his brilliance, and the excuse was ready. It can be said that the alchemist of the Ning family finally made the detoxification pill to cure the poison. It is enough that the spiritual root has been restored.
It was also thinking of this at the beginning, that's why it was said that the poisoning had damaged the Yuan Linggen.
"In that case, then you should go back to the imperial city to practice first, and then go out after reaching Yuanwu Realm." Emperor Cheng Hao said, worried that he would be bullied outside if his cultivation level was not enough.
In Dongling, the Ning family of the royal family said nothing. Even though Ning Yuzhou had not been able to practice for many years and was a good-for-nothing to the outside world, no one dared to bully him. But the outside is different, the Ning family is nothing at all, if Ning's disciples go out, they can no longer rely on Ning's protection, they can only rely on themselves to work hard.
This is also the reason why Emperor Cheng Hao was unwilling to let Ning Yuzhou go out to find someone.
Ning Yuzhou said: "I will go back to the imperial city first, and then go out after a while."
After hearing this, Emperor Cheng Hao knew that he had already made arrangements. Thinking that his son never had to worry about him, he finally felt relieved and said again: "Your daughter-in-law will definitely be fine, and will wait for you to find her. You love her so much." She, she also misses you... "
Wen Qiao couldn't help shaking the leaves, almost turning the whole seedling red.
She was very embarrassed, how could a father-in-law say such things in front of his daughter-in-law? She never knew that Emperor Cheng Hao, who was majestic outside, was a kind and gentle father in front of Ning Yuzhou, and such shameful words came out of his mouth.
What made her even more ashamed was that Ning Yuzhou was still looking at her while echoing, "Yes, Auntie must be reluctant to part with me."
Wen Qiao: "..."
Then, Emperor Cheng Hao said with a look of relief: "It's not in vain that you have waited for her for so long. From her childhood until Jiji, she urged me to give you a marriage order. You have been staying in the forbidden area before to train and practice for the Ning family. The alchemist and the talisman maker, if it wasn't for protecting her, they wouldn't let her stay alone in the Wen family. I always feel sorry for Wen Boqing. Fortunately, the Wen family didn't dare to treat her badly... "
Wen Qiao: "..."
The amount of information was too much, and Wen Qiao felt that she needed to take a break.
Ning Yuzhou still had that gentle smile, a pair of warm eyes looked at the little Miao Miao who had rolled up the leaves unconsciously, and said shyly: "Father, don't talk about it anymore. I do not know."
Emperor Cheng Hao responded with a smile, took a sip of the tea on the table, and suddenly gasped, "Xiaoqi, why did the color of this grass change?"
It was still green in color just now, and at first glance it looks like a young seedling that has just broken through the ground, but now the green is mixed with a light red, which looks a little weird.
Emperor Cheng Hao thought of something, and said in surprise: "Could it be some high-level elixir?"
Wen Qiao: "..."
Wen Qiao didn't dare to move, and continued to pretend that she was a weed, and the color quickly faded.
Emperor Cheng Hao: "Sure enough, the color has changed again."
Wen Qiao felt a little tired.
Ning Yuzhou was amused, and said: "Maybe, I haven't figured out what kind of elixir she is, but it must be good."
Emperor Cheng Hao was a little surprised. He always knew that his son had high vision, not because he was arrogant and arrogant, but because he was well-informed and unqualified. No wonder he is like this, after he awakened the power of the bloodline, he has a complete bloodline inheritance, and he knows a lot, I am afraid that the top sects in the Shengwu Continent know less than his inheritance.
If Ning Yuzhou can be so sure, then this spirit grass must be very powerful.
Emperor Cheng Hao was also very optimistic about the little Miao Miao in the white jade basin. When he found that the one squatting on the table calmly gnawing on the panacea was a sixth-order mutant rabbit, he was completely calm.
As expected of his son, he has the eyes to recognize spiritual things, which is amazing!
Demon Rabbit: ▼-▼It was only attracted by the spirit pill and Xiao Miaomiao...
After talking about this, Emperor Cheng Hao mentioned Senior Brother Yin Xingheng who mentioned the Hall of Sacred Martial Arts.
"According to Mr. Yin, Zhezhou is the candidate for the chosen son of the Holy Martial Monument. He will leave Dongling with Mr. Yin and his brothers in the near future, and go to the Holy Martial Hall to accept the test. In the future..." Speaking of this , Emperor Cheng Hao frowned slightly.
Every ten years, a name will appear on the Holy Martial Monument. This child is the candidate for the Son of Heaven. After many tests, if he can get the full approval of the Holy Martial Monument, he will enter a mysterious place. It is said that what these chosen sons do is a matter of the life and death of the Shengwu Continent, but anyone selected by the Shengwu Monument must not refuse.
As for what they do, the outside world has no way of knowing, these are the secrets of the Holy Martial Palace, outsiders can know very little.
"I don't know when your third brother will come back."
Emperor Cheng Hao sighed slightly. Ning Zhezhou was an elite disciple cultivated by the Ning family. If he stepped down in the future, Ning Zhezhou would be the patriarch of the Ning family. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened. Although the Chosen Son is indeed extremely honorable, he still has to leave the family.
Glory is also dangerous.
It can be said that once Ning Zhezhou left with the Yin brothers, he was no longer a member of the Ning clan.
Emperor Cheng Hao looked at Ning Yuzhou, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiao Qi, what do you think of this Holy Martial Palace?"
Ning Yuzhou said in a low voice: "I don't know either. I have never been in contact with the Holy Martial Palace, so I know very little, and I don't know how the Chosen One is chosen and what he wants to do." After a pause, he continued, " Since this matter has been decided on third brother, Shengwu Hall will certainly make up for it, father need not worry too much, if there is a chance in the future, I will go and see how third brother is doing."
After hearing this, Emperor Cheng Hao felt relieved.
The relaxed Emperor Cheng Hao sat for a while, and casually asked about Ning Yuzhou's letting Qianlin guards arrest Sun Hongmao earlier.
Knowing the cause and effect, Emperor Cheng Hao couldn't argue with anger, and said in a cold voice: "You are absolutely right, then Sun Hongmao dares to harm you and Auntie like this, and he must not be lightly forgiven. As for Yao Zhu, it is also hard to shirk the blame. Then hand it over to the Criminal Law Hall to abolish his cultivation base and retrain him."
Ning Yuzhou nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Because the people in Shengwu Hall were still there, Emperor Cheng Hao left soon after caring about his son's situation, knowing that he was fine.
A little later, Qianlinwei came in with a few storage bags, which were said to be an apology from the Sun family.
Ning Yuzhou flipped through it casually, picked out a few that he was interested in, and sent the rest to Ning's steward, as Ning's public property.
—
On the night after the Lintai Hunting Valley experience ended, many practitioners in the station at the foot of Lintai Mountain could not rest for a long time.
Whether it was the massacre of Dongling practitioners by foreign practitioners this time, or the arrival of Brother Yin Xingheng, it cast a shadow over the hearts of Dongling practitioners. It's a pity that until the battalion left Lintai Mountain, except for the Ning family and the high-level officials of several big families, no one knew why Senior Brother Yin Xingheng came here.
Although Wen Mei was one of the insiders, she didn't dare to speak rashly because the matter was so important.
Sitting in the monster car, Wen Mei lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Her eyes fell on Ning's monster car in front of her, and her eyes dimmed when she thought of something.
"Amei, do you think that Aji really died in Lintai Hunting Valley?" Wen Xian asked, "When he left earlier, the Seventh Prince boarded the car alone, and I didn't see Aji."
"I don't know either." Wen Mei said plainly, obviously not wanting to say more.
Wen Xian rolled her eyes and continued: "Auntie is really pitiful. She just got married and died in Lintai Hunting Valley. She shouldn't have gone. I heard that the Sun family has dealt with Sun Hongmao in order to make amends for the Ning family. Even Princess Nine was guarded by Qianlin Guards..."
Wen Mei frowned, and said forcefully: "Didn't you hear the Seventh Prince say that Auntie just got separated from him? Why are you talking so much?"
Wen Xian's face froze when she scolded her, and then she laughed, and said in a strange way: "I don't care about Auntie? Why are you angry at me? By the way, I heard that the brother surnamed Yin came from a mysterious They came to Dongling this time to select disciples for the sect. The third prince was one of the disciples they selected. He left with them last night. I don’t know when he will return. You still have a marriage contract Woolen cloth… "
Wen Mei didn't listen, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, but her mind was thinking about what happened last night.
At midnight last night, she received a voice transmission from Ning Zhezhou asking her to meet in a small forest near Lintai Mountain.
Wen Mei went naturally.
The grove in the moonlight was not dark. The moonlight shone on the handsome man, covering him with a moon veil, and the contours of his brows and eyes seemed to be softer.
Although the two are unmarried couples, but due to the age difference of ten years and the different levels of cultivation, they don't see each other much and are very strange.
Ning Zhezhou asked her out this time to discuss the dissolution of the engagement.
Wen Mei had a premonition when she knew that Ning Zhezhou was the chosen son that the Holy Martial Palace was looking for. When she heard his suggestion, she felt very calm and even accepted it naturally.
Ning Zhezhou's eyes were a little more apologetic, and he said: "I don't know when I will be able to return when I leave this time, and I may not be able to in the future... This marriage was arranged for us by the elders, but I don't want to delay it for my own reasons. Fourth Miss Wen, if we can see each other again in the future, we can make a double-cultivation covenant again."
Wen Mei was a little surprised. She understood Ning Zhezhou's idea of terminating the engagement. The future is uncertain. This engagement is optional and there is no need to renew it. But I didn't expect that he would add something, which sounded like a kind of compensation.
Could it be that he felt guilty that he almost killed her because he didn't save her in time when the demon was repairing the cave
But Wen Mei felt that he was overthinking.
Although they have a marriage contract, but they haven't been together before, how can they have any feelings? What's more, after experiencing life and death several times, she has understood that rather than relying on men, she is more willing to walk the path of an unfettered strong man, yearning for a wider space outside.
He has his way of being chosen, and she has her own way of becoming a strong man.
Later, the two broke off the engagement very amicably and harmoniously, and returned the engagement token.
After breaking off the engagement, Ning Zhezhou left Dongling overnight with the Yin brothers.
