- Chapter 44 (2/2)

“It is very handsome of Brother Lu and Brother Nanyang to gift me this fortune. Hehe… I will share with you some tips since both of you are so sincere. I have followed the Lord for three hundred years, so I at least know what the things that he likes the most”

Yu Chi had widened his eyes upon witnessing what was happening in front of him. He could earn four thousand immortal jades with just a few words? Big brother Nangong was too good at deceiving.

Subsequently, Nangong started creating a story as if he had really lived with Ning Fan for three hundred years. And for Lu Nanzi and Nanyang Zi who were listening, they showed different expressions, such as astonishment, excitement, solemnity and etc.

“The Lord likes girls? En, I will get some pretty human cauldrons and present it to the Lord when I have the chance.”

“What? The Lord like money? En, this is good because I like money as well. It seems like we would hit it off when we meet again.”

“Huh? Dudou? This couldn’t….be obtained so easily.”

“What! The Lord likes to watch a girl showering?”

…

Nangong instilled unrealistic information to Lu and Nan but his eyes showed some worries. His concern didn’t involve the both of them since they had turned loyal, not a latent threat anymore. This was his actual function, to root out any hidden and possible danger.

There were hidden threats that he himself didn’t know how to get rid of.

He was practically concerned about how to protect Ning Fan’s identity. There wasn’t a lot of them who knew the Three Black Demon Guards, but there are some people who would eventually recognize them. And if these people would come and request for dans, some of them might even realize that they are connected to the old monster. He was afraid that Shun Teng might be able to find out that Ning Fan was the new disciple of the old monster.

On the auction day, although only a few people knew Ning Fan, many had attended and his violent expression would without a doubt leave a strong impression in their minds.

“I have no idea how to hide the true identity of ‘Black Devil Ning’ but it doesn’t matter if it can’t be hidden. Even if young master’s identity as a Fourth Revolution Dan Master with only a Harmonious Spirit realm cultivation was exposed, and the people coming from all the sects and factions would try to capture young master, or even the immortals and gods, I would sacrifice my life to guarantee young master’s safety!”

In Ning City, Ning Fan did not cover his face with Broad Wintry Cloth. He gently pushed out the door and stepped outside. Beside him were little Zhihe and the old man in black.

The old man’s gaze the same as Ning Fan’s. This was all because of the Broad Wintry Cloth, which made it hard for anyone to see his face clearly. If the cloth wasn’t removed, some of them might think that this old man was Ning Fan, but after realizing the early-Gold Core cultivation level of this old man, it would contradict with their judgment.

His light-colored eyebrows were feminine-like that would frown randomly. A sound of unsatisfied but charming bum came out from the old man’s mouth. It was very pleasant to hear that it could change a person’s mood.

“Master, why did you want Sisi to use the ‘facial art’ to change my face. Sisi doesn’t want to be an old man. Sisi doesn’t like it…”

This old man in black robe was no doubt Si Wuxie who had altered her face using the ‘facial art’.

“Sisi, be obedient. Don’t complain anymore.” Ning Fan was having a headache while replying to such annoying comments.

Ning Fan’s intention was to let Si Wuxie become– Black Devil Ning. To hide his identity, he and Black Devil Ning appeared together.

Among the Three Black Demon Guards, a thousand of them knew who Black Devil Ning was. Their secret would eventually be exposed even if they put their best effort to conceal the truth.

The only way to truly conceal his true identity was to deceive his own people first. He needed to separate the identity of Black Devil Ning from himself.

Devils should know how to deceive or else you couldn’t survive in this world. The golden words of the old monster resurfaced in his mind again.

He would tell and show the Three Black Demon Guards that he wasn’t Black Devil Ning!

The role of the fake Black Devil Ning would be played by Si Wuxie, while he would be the one refining dans. Si Wuxie was a late Gold Core cultivator. If she became Black Devil Ning, no one, not even evil sect would dare to lay a hand on him. In such a scenario, he would be able to swim in between the righteous and evil forces like a fish in the water.

This method was one of his battle strategies. It was called ‘creating an incarnation of oneself’. Who knew that Ning Fan could apply it so well?

Before Si Wuxie was refined into a spirit puppet, she acted like a man for countless of years. This had honed her acting skills to perfection. No one could see through her acts. Now every twinkle and every smile was similar to Ning Fan there was no imperfection.

The only thing that gave Ning Fan a headache was Si Wuxie’s voice. Her delicate voice would instantly reveal her identity.

“Sisi, remember, don’t open your mouth when you are outside.”

“If Sisi doesn’t talk, Sisi would feel very unwell and bored.” The old man in black pouted his mouth.

“You would get me killed if you talk.” Ning Fan was trying to frighten Si Wuxie.

“It would get you killed? Then I won’t speak. Okie…Sisi will hold it.” Si Wuxie used his hands to cover her mouth, showing an adorable act, but unfortunately, it was done with an old man’s body.

Ning Fan’s brows twitched. He really couldn’t do something harmful towards her, seeing how obedient she had become and how willing she was to protect him.

‘Why am I thinking of taking advantage of her? Perish all the thoughts! I have made her become like this but I can’t wipe off my memories of her. I don’t know whether she would do something that would surprise me or make me die. Si Wuxie’s was an eminent figure in the Four Heavens Immortal World - Jade Lake Saint.’

‘How am I going to handle this woman in the future…’

Ning Fan was troubled, while little Zhihe was fixing her big eyes, looking at the two of them in a strange way.

“I don’t know from where did brother Fan bring sister Sisi back, and I don’t understand why, but sister Sisi is treating brother Fan very well. And, that sister corpse…Brother Fan, would you bring a sister beast next time?”

…

Meanwhile, experts from eight directions were on their way to Ning City. Even the Sinister Sparrow Sect, which had been preparing for their disciple recruitment, had sent an elder to establish rapport with Ning City.

Who was Black Devil Ning? They had to come and find out! However, they were destined to not be able to see the real Black Devil Ning.

“Eh! When do we have two young masters?”

Yu Chi was foolishly scratching his head, while staring at the black-robed elder and Ning Fan in confusion.

Situ’s eyes swept across them. He then gave an unusual glance to Ning Fan as if he had discerned something but remained silent.

As for Nangong, he was slightly panic-stricken. He then looked at Ning Fan in admiration and nodded with tacit understanding.

“Young master is going to give a speech to the Three Black Demon Guards? This is interesting.”

The Three Black Demon Guards were petrified as soon as they saw Ning Fan appeared together with an old man in black-robed.

“I am Ning Fan, the young master of Seven Apricot City. This senior beside me is Black Devil Ning, the Lord of Ning City, and also my great grandfather.”

Tsk! Young master wasn’t the Lord of Ning City? Someone else was the Lord of Ning City? The old man was young master’s great grandfather?

The Three Black Demon Guards were confused. When had young master have a great grandfather?

“Pu…Sisi has become master’s great grandfather.” Si Wuxie couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to laugh but Ning Fan squeezed her and gave her a stern look.

That look meant that once she spoke, she would get him killed. Thus, Si Wuxie immediately suppressed her laughter. A strange electricity flowed from her palm, coming from Ning Fan’s hand, making her heart flutter.

“Greetings, young master. Greetings, Black Devil City Lord.” Nangong understood the implication and led the two of them to greet him. Situ who had been silent, also did the same. Yu Chi was still lost in his doubts but he greeted anyway because he knew there must be a reason behind all of these.

The Three Black Demon Guards didn’t hesitate and greeted Ning Fan and ‘Black Devil Ning’ at the same time.

Lu Nanzi and Nanyang Zi who were standing on the side hastily paid their respects to the two of them in a very respectful manner, but they found it strange that ‘Black Devil Ning’ kept his mouth shut, as though he was ignoring the both of them.

Both of them were very desperate to establish a good relationship with Ning Fan. Ning Fan was the young master and the great grandson of ‘Black Devil Ning’.

Gee! This young master deserved to be called the great grandson of Black Devil Ning. He had reached the intermediate Harmonious Spirit at such a young age. He is truly awesome!

Besides that, the true cultivation of Black Devil Ning wasn’t at Harmonious Spirit realm, it was the late Gold Core realm. No wonder he could kill Chen and Zhu old man so easily. He just concealed his cultivation realm at that time.

It was rational for a Fourth Revolution Dan Master to have so many followers because he was a Gold Core realm expert.

‘They were deceived, they were all deceived…’ Ning Fan shook his head helplessly. For the time being, he had to keep this lie to cover up his identity.

This was an act of a devil. A devil must know how to deceive, otherwise he couldn’t survive for a long time. You have to deceive your own people first before deceiving the enemy. There were only two ways, either you persuade the whole world or you deceive the whole world!
