Ning Yue hesitated for a long while before she finally spoke again.
“Lin Daoyou, there is something I don’t know whether I should say.”
“Ning Daoyou, you need not have any concerns, just speak freely,” Lin Jing replied.
As if she had made up her mind, Ning Yue lifted her head and said seriously:
“Lin Daoyou.”
“We cultivators should prioritize our cultivation, aiming to pursue the great Dao of immortality. One must never fall into the trap of mortal desires, or else one’s vital essence will scatter and all will have been cultivated in vain.”
After saying this, Ning Yue added another sentence.
“Of course, I am not trying to interfere with your private life.”
She then continued, “It’s just that, Lin Daoyou, your talent in the Alchemy Dao is unparalleled in this world, and you have the potential to travel even further on the path of cultivation. Even ascending to immortality is not an impossible feat.”
“If you were to sink into depravity and waste your cultivation, that would truly be a pity.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing knew immediately what the matter was about – the same misunderstanding from last time.
“Ning Daoyou, you are mistaken,” Lin Jing quickly explained.
Ning Yue, puzzled, asked, “Then why did that Talisman Master say what he said that day? Could it be he mistook someone else for you? That wasn’t you?” “The person he saw was indeed me, that’s not wrong.”
As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, he saw Ning Yue’s expression darken, presumably thinking Lin Jing was making a fool of her.
Lin Jing hurriedly added:
“Ning Daoyou, please let me finish.”
Ning Yue nodded, then looked directly at Lin Jing, waiting for him to speak.
“Do you remember, previously I had asked Brother Wei about the secret market?”
After thinking for a while, Ning Yue nodded and said, “I remember. It was on New Year’s Eve when we were together at the gathering, right?”
“Correct, it was that day,” Lin Jing continued.
“Not long after that day, Brother Wei took me to the secret market. Since then, I’ve come to understand the secret market, and after Brother Wei left, I would sometimes go there on my own.”
“However…”
“The entrance to the secret market is always hidden, often in places beyond anyone’s imagination. Indeed, the reason I went there that day was because there was an entrance to the secret market.”
“I was merely using that place to pass through into the secret market.”
After Lin Jing finished explaining, Ning Yue’s face flushed red, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
“Lin Daoyou, I’m sorry, I thought…”
Lin Jing waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, it’s good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”
“Ning Daoyou was concerned about me, how could I blame you for that?”
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Ning Yue still felt extremely embarrassed. Initially, she was seeming to meddle in someone else’s private life, but it turned out to be a big misunderstanding.
After hastily exchanging a few words with Lin Jing, Ning Yue left with a flushed face.
After Ning Yue left, Lin Jing returned to his room and continued to sort through those materials.
The next day, just as Lin Jing awakened from meditation, he heard some news.
Moreover, it was a market announcement.
The content of the announcement was:
As of today, the Nanshan Market will be divided into the Inner Fang Market and the Outer Fang Market. The Inner Fang Market refers to the previous interior of the Fang Market, while the Outer Fang Market is the outer perimeter of the Fang Market.
At the same time, all members of the Nanshan Market must apply for Identity Tokens.
Starting tomorrow, the defense formation of the Inner Fang Market will be activated. Those from the Outer Fang Market wishing to enter the Inner Fang Market will need to present an Identity Token to gain entry.
