Miss Liu awoke from her unconsciousness to see the anxious expressions of her mother and sister.
"Mr. ng, is he all right?"
That was how Miss Liu asked.
"Mr. ng is fine."
"That's good. Mother, please tell Young Master Yu that I am a person of ill on, and Mr. ng is a good person. He..."
Miss Liu harbored no resentnt towards ng Yu for kicking her. She had run out to prove to everyone that ng Yu was a good person. She had even hidden a knife in her bosom, planning to stab herself when the ti ca.
"Young Master Yu is dead, Young Master ng killed all those people."
Her mother's face was filled with helplessness.
Back when the Liu family had not yet declined, the two families often interacted, but as ti went on, it was the Liu family mbers who kept fawning over the Yu Family, trying to maintain the arranged marriage. Last year, there were even rumors from the Yu Family about possibly breaking off the engagent.
As for Liu Qingshuang and Young Master Yu... the two had only t face to face twice.
"What?"
Miss Liu was stunned, then her mother began to speak of ng Yu's combat prowess, and the more she listened, the more her eyes sparkled with admiration. Then, a voice ca from outside.
"The Leader has spoken, Miss Liu should co over when she wakes up."
Having straightened her clothes, Miss Liu quickly stood up.
Although her chest still hurt a bit, she did not resent ng Yu at all.
She would always rember that after she had been taken to the mountain stronghold, she prayed every day to all the gods and various beings for soone to save her and her family. She had even dread that Young Master Yu would descend from the heavens, but as days passed, her despair grew, especially when Cheng Kaiyuan looked at her mother and sister with those eyes, filling her with utter fear.
Then, on the wedding day, ng Yu descended like a deity from the heavens, and from that mont, she would forever rember the graceful young man.
She was very clear that ng Yu's kick, while it seed heavy, had actually been rciful. Most importantly, it had saved her life.
In the courtyard, ng Yu was chatting with Guo, the Great Hero.
The people of Black Wind Stockade were of too low a class to access much higher-end knowledge, whereas Guo, the Great Hero... was a very good source of information.
"Do you know what you did wrong today?"
ng Yu looked coldly at Miss Liu. It wasn't that he thought she shouldn't have co out, but her plea—if the opponent, Guo, the Great Hero, had said, fine, let's do that, let's turn foes into friends—then ng Yu would have been eating dead rats!
They killed my n!
"It was my own fault."
Miss Liu's forehead still had blood, as did the corners of her mouth and body.
"For kicking you, do you resent ?"
"I am thankful for Mr. ng's rcy."
Madam Liu spoke, her voice filled with gratitude: "Thank you for sparing her life."
ng Yu's kick that knocked her unconscious had actually saved Miss Liu and preserved her reputation, making her seem like a person of sentint and righteousness, yet unable to openly intervene.
"Alright, I've called you here to ask you one thing. The Yu Family and I are now at odds. If you feel it's inconvenient for you, you can leave now. I don't want your silver; consider it paynt for helping these past few days."
ng Yu's words made Guo, the Great Hero, freeze for a mont.
On the way here, he had heard that Leader ng was very generous, but now, he felt that ng Yu was... perhaps too honest and straightforward?
You saved them!
The reason Young Master Yu went mad was that when everyone arrived, he had been arguing with a companion. That companion had said that even if soone else had saved Miss Liu, he was too late. With such a heroic rescue, the rescuer and the rescued would surely beco close. After all, the rescuer had saved her, granting him all rights over her, didn't it?
And sure enough, that's how the world works. When you save soone, you're entitled to a reward, even including their freedom. Now, ng Yu had killed Young Master Yu's n, and Young Master Yu had to be infinitely grateful to him.
Because ng Yu had truly spared his life and reasoned with him.
"Mr. ng, no, no, I was just confused today, please don't..."
Madam Liu quickly restrained her daughter. Where could they go?
Or rather, having seen ng Yu's thods today, she was astonished and speechless.
Twelve Fire Crows danced across the sky, rising like a blazing sun. What difference was there between such a technique and that of immortals and buddhas?
"Okay, I'll dock three months' salary from you. Now, go."
ng Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Miss Liu. Her cooking wasn't as good as Madam Liu's, and she wasn't as fun to tease as Sister Liu. If it weren't for her adept calculations and truly impressive talent, ng Yu wouldn't even bother with her.
Yes, ng Yu had seen her roots and was so envious his eyes were practically red. With such talent, as soon as she encountered Divine Skill Secret Manuals, she would beco incredibly powerful.
He waved his hand, signaling the Liu Family mbers to leave, and then turned his gaze to Guo, the Great Hero.
"By the way, I'm quite interested in so of the bizarre and varied tales of Jianghu. Guo, the Great Hero, please do tell—for example, who is Su Qingqing, the national master of Great Wu?"
ng Yu said so because he wanted to know just how deep the waters of this world were.
...
In the Qingying Small World.
ng Yu opened his eyes, finding himself back in a hidden corner.
The chanical clock had only ticked one day and one night, while a hundred days had passed there.
Simply put, the passage of ti between the two places should be a hundred to one. However, due to so peculiar reason, ng Yu's trips to and fro were always win-win. In simple terms, he only aged one, yet he enjoyed the benefits of a hundred.
Perhaps this was also a form of Hundredfold Strength? He wondered which predecessor had used it.
His bones made a slight crackling sound. In those hundred days there, his True Qi had naturally improved a lot. Don't underestimate this progress; even without Hundredfold Strength, it was like having a powerful Golden Finger that was hundredfold strong.
Why do many genius youths receive so many resources? It's because everyone feels they are outstanding and worth cultivating. And when ng Yu took a trip there and trained for a hundred days, making significant progress in his skills, the implications of that were very significant.
There were no signs that the Protective Formation outside the door had been disturbed, and the Stone Chamber was peaceful.
This ti, the gains from there had been substantial.
In addition to increased proficiency in Alchemy, he had also entered the doorway to learning about Formation. Moreover, he obtained various precious dicinal herbs, as well as miscellaneous Spirit Stones.
When he had a proper transaction with everyone, he earned ten Spirit Stones. When he set up an open-air barbecue, he quickly made several hundred Spirit Stones and various types of Spiritual dicine.
ng Yu, always cautious, didn't bring these items back with him. Just as he only used the chanical clock, he was still under surveillance, and the storage ring belonged to the Enforcent Hall. He had to surrender it upon return, and he even suspected that soone might be secretly watching him.
When he walked out of the forest, he found the students still playing on the beach. They had been busy all day, now reveling in the joy of their youth at night.
So who had just perford their talents invited ng Yu onto the stage.
"Co on, let show you sothing."
He suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and eighteen Fire Crows danced gracefully. Each fire crow that shot into the sky was so lifelike.
"That's amazing."
"His martial skills have improved again!"
"He truly deserves to be called one of the greatest geniuses of our Immortal Sect's generation!"
Everyone, including Old Man Li and others, were imnsely envious.
When it ca to Qi Cultivation, although everyone was at the sa level, it now seed like the difference between cats and tigers.
ng Yu, a true genius indeed.
Not far away, Fuchun Yun watched ng Yu with a complex expression.
In recent days, ng Yu had talked with that beautiful girl a few tis and then stopped interacting. He treated everyone with courtesy and politeness.
Of course, she knew he was a scoundrel, a bad egg, and on top of that, a super ruthless and ferocious guy. But for so reason, she felt... she wanted to understand him more.
She suddenly rembered a little story.
The spacecraft was about to dock, and the woman knew the man was waiting for her. She had co to break it off with him, but at the mont the train arrived, she sent him a ssage instead, "Dear, I love you."
Would he... would he turn to look at her?
It seed she didn't dislike him that much anymore.
What was happening?
