Chapter 31

Ning Yuzhou only briefly mentioned what he had learned from Feng Sanniang, which still surprised Emperor Cheng Hao.

"It turned out to be so."

Emperor Cheng Hao suddenly understood why so many foreign cultivators appeared in Lintai Hunting Valley this time. It can be said that the cultivators in Dongling suffered a disaster. Practitioners are used as hunting grounds.

But even so, what can they say? Do you have to blame the Holy Martial Hall for finding the Son of Heaven?

The Son of Heaven has always been a matter of great importance, and it is related to the entire Shengwu Continent. A small Dongling can't say anything.

Moreover, with the status of the Holy Martial Hall, no one can compete with the small Dongling, not to mention that Ning Zhezhou is already the candidate of the Son of Heaven recorded on the Holy Martial Monument.

Recalling the previous conversation with Brother Yin Xingheng of the Holy Martial Hall, Emperor Cheng Hao sighed slightly in his heart.

When Emperor Cheng Hao finally cleared up his mood, he saw Ning Yuzhou looking like he had nothing to do with him. He was polishing a flower pot carved by spirit stone with quartz sandstone. go.

Emperor Cheng Hao's anxious and complicated mood over the incident in the Holy Martial Hall soon calmed down.

He smiled and said, "Why did you carve a flower pot with Lingyu?"

"Nature is useful."

Only then did Emperor Cheng Hao notice the white jade basin and the demon rabbit gnawing on the elixir on the table, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The little Miaomiao in the white jade pot tried hard to pretend that she was a grass, and the leaves didn't even move her, so she acted very realistically.

The demon rabbit was not interested in Emperor Cheng Hao. He licked the Lingdan next to the white jade basin and looked at Xiao Miaomiao. He looked tame and harmless. No one knew that this little rabbit was actually a mutant sixth-order demon rabbit. , but cruel.

Whether it's the little Miaomiao in the white jade pot or the demon rabbit holding the elixir, these two seem too ordinary to attract attention. Emperor Cheng Hao didn't see anything special about them.

But now they are here, obviously Ning Yuzhou raised them.

Emperor Cheng Hao only glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Why don't you see your daughter-in-law?"

"We are separated." Ning Yuzhou said lightly.

Emperor Cheng Hao was stunned again, "When did it happen? Where did you get separated?" After asking, he quickly reacted with a subtle expression on his face. He couldn't help but look at his younger son, only to find that his expression was indifferent and his eyebrows were still the same. With that gentle look, there is no anxiety or sadness.

For a time, Emperor Cheng Hao doubted his guess.

"Xiao Qi, your daughter-in-law..." He hesitated, as if he was afraid of hurting his son's sadness.

Although Ning Yuzhou didn't want to explain too much, it was not easy for the old father to guess at random, so he had to say: "Ah and I were separated in the Yaoxiu Cave Mansion in the Hunting Valley of Lintai, but I know she is still alive, you don't need to think too much. ."

When Wen Qiao heard Ning Yuzhou's words, she almost wanted to move her leaves to indicate that she was really still alive, so her father-in-law should not think too much.

Still alive, but nowhere to be seen, could it be...

"Your daughter-in-law was taken away by those foreign cultivators?" Emperor Cheng Hao's face was ugly.

When Ning Huayuan discovered the foreign cultivators earlier, many foreign cultivators rushed towards Lintai Mountain. Because there were too many people, they only had to leave some of them and 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 front of everyone's eyes, and their cultivation was quite good. I'm afraid they have escaped from Dongling now.

Ning Yuzhou didn't expect him to make up his mind like this, but it saved him from making excuses to cover up for Ah He, so he didn't explain any more.

This silent attitude also made Emperor Cheng Hao more and more certain, he couldn't help sighing, and comfortingly said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to look for it, I believe that your daughter-in-law Jiren has a natural appearance and will be fine..."

The more he talked, the more hopeless Emperor Cheng Hao felt in his heart.

Those foreign cultivators who escaped had extremely high levels of cultivation. Can Wen Qiao, a low-level female cultivator who entered the Yuan Realm, survive by luck? Even if she can survive by luck, but her health is not good, where can she escape? The world outside Dongling is huge, there are countless practitioners, and the strong ones do not know how many. Wen Qiao, a low-level female cultivator who is not in good health, can imagine the fate.

Ning Yuzhou glanced at him, his eyes flashed, and said, "I'll find it myself."

"What?" Emperor Cheng Hao was taken aback, "You decide to go by yourself? No! Xiao Qi, you have survived for so many years, and you will survive for 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 he thought of something, and hurriedly said: "It's broken? How could it be? Isn't there a year left? Then your body..."

Ning Yuzhou was busy comforting the worried old father, and said warmly, "Father, don't worry, there is no problem, I can practice now."

Ning Yuzhou already had an excuse for breaking the ban in the body one year ahead of schedule, but it was the chance he got in the demon cultivator's cave that allowed him to cultivate in advance, and no one knew that it was related to Wen Qiao's blood essence. Although he trusts his father, at this stage, Ning Yuzhou does not want people other than himself to know that Wen Qiao has a magical blood.

When Emperor Cheng Hao heard this, he felt a lot of relief and was extremely happy.

He always thought that his son had to wait for the weak crown before he could cultivate, and then the reputation of any waste material would be washed away with him, and the excuse was ready-made. The spirit root has been restored.

I thought of this at the beginning, and then said to the outside world that it was poisoning and damaged the root of the soul.

"If that's the case, then you should go back to the imperial city to cultivate first, and then go out after you reach the Yuanwu Realm." Emperor Cheng Hao said, worried that he would be bullied outside if he didn't cultivate enough.

In Dongling, the royal family Ning said that even though Ning Yuzhou could not cultivate for many years and was a waste to the outside world, no one dared to deceive him. But the outside is different. Ning's is nothing at all. If Ning's disciples go out, they can no longer rely on Ning's protection, and can only rely on themselves to work hard.

This is also the reason why Emperor Cheng Hao was reluctant 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. He was relieved to think that his son never had to worry about him, and he was relieved again: "Your daughter-in-law will be fine, she 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, and the whole seedling almost turned red.

She was very embarrassed. How could a father-in-law say such a thing in front of his daughter-in-law? She never knew that Emperor Cheng Hao, who was majestic outside, was a loving and tolerant father in front of Ning Yuzhou, and such humiliating words would come when he opened his mouth.

What made her even more embarrassed was that Ning Yuzhou still looked at her and agreed, "Yeah, A'ao 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 waited for her for so long, from when she was a child until she was married, urging me to order a marriage for you. Alchemist and Talisman, if it wasn't to protect her, she wouldn't be left alone in the Wen family. I always feel sorry for Wen Boqing. Fortunately, Wen Jiaming didn't dare to treat her badly... "

Wen Qiao: "..."

The amount of information was too much, and Wen Qiao felt that she needed to slow down.

Ning Yuzhou still had that gentle and gentle smile, his warm eyes looked at the little Miaomiao whose leaves were rolled up unconsciously, and said shyly, "Father, don't talk about it anymore, this is still the case. I do not know."

Emperor Cheng Hao responded with a smile, took a sip of the tea on the table, and suddenly said, "Xiao Qi, why has the color of this grass changed?"

Just now, it was still green in color. At first glance, it looked like a young Miaomiao who had just broken the ground, but now the green green is mixed with a touch of 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 laughed in his heart and said, "Maybe, I haven't figured out what kind of elixir she is yet, but it must be good."

Emperor Cheng Hao was a little surprised. He always knew that his son had high eyesight, not because he was arrogant and arrogant, but because he had a lot of knowledge and was not qualified to look down on him. It's no wonder he is like this. After awakening his bloodline power, he has a complete bloodline inheritance, and he knows a lot. I'm afraid that the top sects in the Shengwu Continent know not as much as his inheritance.

To make Ning Yuzhou so sure, then this spirit grass must be very powerful.

Emperor Cheng Hao was also very optimistic about the little Miaomiao in the white jade pot. When he found out that it was a sixth-order mutant rabbit who was squatting on the table and nibbling the elixir calmly, he was completely calm.

As expected of his son, he is very powerful!

Demon Rabbit: ▼-▼ It was only attracted by Lingdan and Xiao Miaomiao...

After saying this, Emperor Cheng Hao mentioned Brother Yin Xingheng of the Holy Martial Hall.

"According to Young Master Yin, Zhezhou is the candidate of the Son of Heaven selected by the Holy Martial Monument this time, and will soon leave Dongling with the brothers and sisters of Young Master Yin and go to the Holy Martial Hall to be tested. In the future..." said Here, Emperor Cheng Hao frowned slightly.

Every ten years, a name will appear on the Sacred Martial Monument. This son is the candidate of the Son of Heaven. After many tests, if he can get the full approval of the Sacred Martial Monument, he will enter a mysterious place. It is said that what the chosen sons do is a matter of life and death on the Shengwu Continent. Anyone who is selected by the Shengwu Stele must not refuse.

As for what they do, the outside world has no way of knowing. These are the secrets of the Holy Martial Hall, and outsiders can know very little.

"Your third brother will come back from here, I don't know when."

Emperor Cheng Hao sighed slightly. Ning Zhezhou was an elite disciple trained by the Ning Clan. If he retire in the future, Ning Zhezhou would be the patriarch of the Ning Clan. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened. Although the Son of Heaven's Chosen is indeed extremely honorable, he has to leave the family.

Glory is also dangerous.

It can be said that Ning Zhezhou is no longer a member of the Ning clan once he leaves with the Yin clan.

Emperor Cheng Hao looked at Ning Yuzhou, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qi, what do you think of this Holy Martial Hall?"

Ning Yuzhou said in a low voice: "I don't know, I have never been in contact with the Holy Martial Hall, I know very little, and I don't know how the Son of Heaven's Chosen is chosen and what to do." After a pause, he continued, " Since the third brother has been decided on this matter, the Holy Martial Hall will make up for it, father need not worry too much, if there is a chance in the future, I will go and see how the third brother is doing."

After hearing this, Emperor Cheng Hao felt relieved.

The relieved Emperor Cheng Hao sat for a while, and casually asked about the matter of Ning Yuzhou letting Qianlin Guards arrest Sun Hongmao.

Knowing the cause and effect, Emperor Cheng Hao couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said coldly: "You did the right thing, then Sun Hongmao dared to harm you and Ayi like this, and he must not be forgiven lightly. As for Yaozhu, it is hard to blame. He will be handed over to the Criminal Law Hall, and his cultivation will be abolished and retrained."

Ning Yuzhou nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Since the people in the Holy Martial Hall were still there, Emperor Cheng Hao, after caring about his son's condition, knew that he was fine, and left quickly.

A little later, Qian Linwei came in with a few storage bags, which were said to be gifts 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 the property of Ning's public.

***

The night after the Lintai Hunting Valley experience ended, many practitioners in the camp at the foot of Lintai Mountain were unable to rest for a long time.

Whether it was the slaughter of practitioners in Dongling by foreign practitioners this time, or the arrival of Brother Yin Xingheng, they all cast a shadow on the hearts of practitioners in Dongling. It's a pity that until the camp left Lintai Mountain, no one except the Ning family and the seniors of the big families still knew why Brother Yin Xingheng came.

Although Wen Mei was one of the insiders, she did not dare to open her mouth because of the importance of the matter.

Sitting in the monster car, Wen Mei lifted the curtain and looked out.

Her gaze fell on Ning's monster car in front of her, her eyes dimmed as she thought of something.

"Amei, do you think Ayu really died in Lintai Hunting Valley?" Wen Xian asked, "When I left earlier, the seventh prince boarded the car alone, and I didn't see Ayu."

"I don't know." Wen Mei said lightly, obviously not wanting to say more.

Wen Xian rolled her eyes, and continued, "A-Yu is really pitiful. She died in Lintai Hunting Valley when she just got married. She shouldn't have gone. I heard that the Sun family had already dealt with Sun Hongmao in order to make amends for Ning's family. Even the Ninth Princess was taken care of by the Qian Scale Guard..."

Wen Mei frowned and said sternly, "Didn't you hear the Seventh Prince say that A'ao just got separated from him? Why are you talking so much?"

Wen Xian's face stiffened when she scolded her, and then he laughed, and said yin and yang, "I don't care about Ah Yu? Why are you angry with me? By the way, I heard that the senior brother Yin came from a mysterious person. Their sect, they came to Dongling this time to select disciples for the sect. The third prince was one of the disciples selected by them. He left with them last night, and 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, thinking about what happened last night.

Last night, in the middle of the night, she received a voice transmission from Ning Zhezhou, asking her to meet in a small wood near Lintai Mountain.

Wen Mei naturally went.

The grove in the moonlight is not dark. The moonlight shines on the handsome man, covering him with a layer of moonshine, and the outlines of his eyebrows and eyes seem to be a little softer.

Although the two are unmarried couples, they are very unfamiliar because they are ten years apart in age and have different cultivation bases.

Ning Zhezhou asked her out this time to discuss the dissolution of the engagement.

Wen Mei had a hunch when she knew that Ning Zhezhou was the son of Heavenly Chosen that Shengwu Temple was looking for. At this time, when she heard his proposal, she felt very calm and even accepted it naturally.

Ning Zhezhou looked a little more apologetic, he said: "I am leaving this time, I don't know when I will be able to return, and maybe not in the future... This marriage was decided for us by the elders, but I don't want to do it for my own reasons. Delay Fourth Miss Wen. If we can see each other again in the future, we can make a covenant with each other again."

Wen Mei was a little surprised, she understood Ning Zhezhou's idea of ​​breaking the engagement, the future was uncertain, this engagement was optional, and there was no need to renew it. But didn't expect him to add something, it sounded like a supplement.

Could it be that he felt guilty because he almost lost her life because he didn't save her in time when he was in the demon cultivator's cave?

However, Wen Mei felt that he was over-hearted.

Although they had a marriage contract, but they never got along, how could they have any feelings? Moreover, after experiencing life and death several times, she has understood that, rather than relying on men, she is more willing to take the road of unrestrained powerhouses and yearn for a wider space outside.

He has his own path, and she has her own path of being strong.

Later, the two broke off the engagement very amicably and harmoniously, and returned the engagement token.

After the marriage was dissolved, Ning Zhezhou left Dongling overnight with the Yin brothers.
