Chapter 386 (2/2)

With a little hesitation, Ning Que raised his hands and bent his fingers in front of his eyes. He began to describe the appearance and feature of that thing in a soft voice.

Hearing his description, the Sixth Brother regretfully shook his head after thinking for a moment and said, ”This is much easier than that knife. It is nothing special or difficult. I can finish it in ten days. You can take it when you come for the knife.”

After seeing Sixth Brother off, Ning Que sat at the entrance of the cliff cave and held his chin in his hands to watch Sangsang on the go in the corridor. Suddenly, he beamed with smiles complacently.

The Sixth Brother felt disappointed because that thing was too simple and offered him no challenge. But Ning Que was very happy. If that thing could cope with the Haotian Divine Light, he could not be defeated by Sangsang even though she could learn the Divine Skill as the successor of the G.o.d of Light.

It was definitely significant for Ning Que to win in the fight against the Tao Addict of the West-Hill Divine Palace, or at least survive. Nevertheless, it was the most meaningful thing for Ning Que to win in the contest between him and his little handmaiden. This related to his honor as a man and a patriarch.

The huts upon the edge of the cliff had been renovated perfectly and the twigs of the vines were swaying in the wind. Apart from the beautiful scenery, the aura of life added another taste of feeling.

The company of his Senior Brothers

Senior Brothers washed away the sense of being abandoned by the world and the miserable memory of vagrancy with Sangsang. Now, Ning Que had chilled his mind and continued to read and meditate. It was no longer as gloomy and depressing as it was a few days ago.

The most significant aspect was the change of his mindset. When the Sixth Brother left, he told Ning Que in a casual tone that he could take that thing along with his knife after he made it through the barrier made by the Headmaster of the Academy. Ning Que did not feel pity from this line but responded to it naturally. This was attributed to his clear thought. Now that he had made up his mind to Sangsang, he would destroy his Great Spirit if he could not solve this inhibition after three months.

It seemed that the decision was simple. However, it contained his determined resolution. Ordinary people could not bear this agony, but Ning Que could.

Because of his inner strength, now he could be as calm as the sea.

On the 21st day of his imprisonment in the cliff cave, the Third Senior Sister, Yu Lian, came to solve his problems on cultivation in accordance with their appointment. The difference was that this time there was another girl that accompanied her.

Looking at the girlish face of Tang Xiaotang, Ning Que was shocked and said to her, ”Do you really stay at the Academy? Did my teacher accept you as his disciple? Should I call you little junior sister in the future?”

Tang Xiaotang gave a little giggle and said, ”Don't you want a little junior sister?”

Ning Que said, ”I'm now a prisoner in the cliff cave. Of course I don't want a little junior sister, which would make me feel depressed. If you sang a song of the Desolate Man, I might feel utterly discomfited.”

n.o.body there could understand his complaints or teases, and neither could Sangsang.

Yu Lian beamed and said to Tang Xiaotang, ”You're so naughty. Now, pay a formal visit to your Youngest Uncle.”

Ning Que looked back and forth between his Senior Sister and Tang Xiaotang, hesitated for a moment, and said in an uncertain tone, ”Senior Sister, you accepted Tong Xiaotang as your disciple?”

Yu Lian nodded calmly.

Ning Que was astonished.

Tang Xiaotang belonged to the Devil's Doctrine. Her elder brother, Tang, was the World Wayfarer of the Devil's Doctrine. Who would have thought of such a thing that the Academy had accepted her! People would see it as hard evidence that the Academy took the Devil's Doctrine under its protection whether she was a disciple of Third Senior Sister or the Headmaster of the Academy.

Looking at Ning Que, Yu Lian said subtlely, ”Younger Brother, you have seen my disciple. You know that her ident.i.ty is quite special. So please don't mention her to others as far as possible in the future.”

It would definitely give rise to a heated dispute if this matter of the Academy accepting a girl in the Devil's Doctrine as a disciple were to become open to the public. People in the West-Hill Divine Palace and millions of believers of Haotian would not allow this thing to happen.

Even though the Academy was powerful, it could not turn against the entire world and the omniscient Haotian Divine Light. The thing that happened a long time ago was the best proof.

Thinking of the Great Spirit in his body and his Youngest Uncle, who was punished to death by Haotian, Ning Que became silent for a moment. Then, wearing a solemn look, he said, ”Of course.”

Looking at Tang Xiaotang, he found that the young girl was calm and had no misgivings. It seemed like she could not even realize how much difficulty and danger she would bring to the Academy once she became a student of the Academy.

He would like to remind her of this harsh situation. However, thinking of himself, who had joined the Devil and brought so many troubles to the Academy and the Headmaster of the Academy had no choice but to imprison him in the cliff cave, Ning Que teased himself.

”The Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu, and her elder brother, the World Wayfarer of the Zhishou Abbey, have seen her before. So you should be careful and try not to let her go somewhere outside of the Academy.”

Ning Que reminded Yu Lian of this.

Yu Lian said calmly, ”Since she has become my disciple, she would never be permitted to leave unless she has the capacity to defeat Ye Hongyu.”
