Chapter 190 - Arranged In Advance (2/2)

‘Yes, what does this have to do with him being ill-intentioned…’

Ou Yangming repeated Ni Yinghong’s words in his head, but he said with a mysterious look on his face, “The great ancestors kept us in the dark about the bamboo forest and the half-spirit beast. Ah, perhaps the great ancestors are the only ones who can answer your question.”

He was secretly proud because he indirectly stated that they were on the same line.

Ni Yinghong furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. “The great ancestors won’t harm me for sure.”

“They obviously won’t! But they might’ve been deceived by the bad guy…” Ou Yangming immediately explained.

Ni Yinghong nodded. It was probably a sign of her agreeing with him. Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief, then he suddenly handed a longsword to her. “Elder Sister Ying, I smithed this weapon for you. Take a look at it and see if you like it?”

Ni Yinghong was startled, but her eyes lit up right away. She accepted the longsword and pulled it out of the scabbard.

At once, an intense cold-intent was released from the sword, and it gushed toward her face.

Ni Yinghong s.h.i.+vered as she felt a chill. While she had already guessed it, she could not help but feel surprised and overjoyed.

“T-this is…”

Ou Yangming nodded. “Elder Sister Ying, I noticed you only use a longsword when you practice martial arts. This sword has the same specifications as the one you usually use, but it’s slightly heavier.”

Ni Yinghong pursed her lips. She did not usually practice with her sword for long and only did it a few times in front of Ou Yangming. In fact, Ou Yangming had only held her sword once or twice.

Even then, Ou Yangming was able to remember so much.

The young lady felt a warmth in her heart, and she suddenly had the urge to cry.

Nevertheless, Ni Yinghong’s dignity as the eldest young lady disallowed her from doing something as impolite as such. Hence, she only wrinkled her nose and remarked, “Okay, at least you’re attentive. This sword is mine from now on!”

Ou Yangming nodded and was elated. Honestly, he was surprised and aware of He Liangce’s tricks.

It was worth noting that Ou Yangming had done huge favors for the Ni family’s great ancestors, yet they were still moved by He Liangce. Although it seemed like the great ancestors were being fair by sending the three of them to the immense forest, He Liangce was a Yang Grade martial artist-an unordinary one.

Ou Yangming would not be able to do anything if He Liangce did his best to please and woo Ni Yinghong, thus he gave her the most precious gift before they set out. With the gift around, Ni Yinghong would surely be able to turn a deaf ear to He Liangce’s sweet words.

Following that, Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong conversed happily and returned to where they left He Liangce earlier. Seeing as they were so close to each other, He Liangce was neither mad nor embarra.s.sed. Instead, he looked at them with pity.

Ou Yangming was astonished. This fella’s mind is imperceptible.’

The Ni residence had prepared horses for them. This time, more than twenty people came to see them off, and among those people were three Yang Grade elders.

Needless to say, one of the three Yang Grade elders was from the He family.

Subsequently, Ou Yangming and his travel companions left the prefecture and traveled quickly without being obstructed at all.

They arrived in front of a dense forest after three days and could see that the Immense Forest Military Camp was not too far away.

He Liangce flashed and jumped off the horse, then he said with a smile, “Let’s head inside.”

Ou Yangming glanced at Ni Yinghong, then they jumped off their horses one after another and stood together but at a distance away from He Liangce.

He Liangce turned and instructed the other people, “Go to the Immense Forest Military Camp to wait for our news.”

The other people responded to him, then they turned around and went out of sight after some time.

“I’ll be going in first.” He Liangce smiled and entered the dense forest calmly.

Ou Yangming frowned because he was confused about He Liangce’s confidence.

Just as Ni Yinghong wanted to enter the forest, Ou Yangming reached out his hand to stop her. He retrieved two equipment sets and gestured to Ni Yinghong to put on one of them.

Ou Yangming had previously smithed an equipment set for Ni Yinghong according to her size. It was not made of magic tools, but the pieces of equipment were at the peak of Fine Grade.

Ni Yinghong’s eyes were watery as if tears were about to flow.

Since she was one of the rare forthright ladies, she gritted her teeth and put on the pieces of equipment in front of Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming equipped himself as well, then he entered the forest with Ni Yinghong, who wore pieces of Fine Grade equipment and held a magic longsword.

He thought, ‘He Liangce, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, bring it on…’ [1] Note that He Liangce is addressing Ni Yinghong as a younger sister because their clans share a friends.h.i.+p for generations

[2] The reason for this is the same as above
