Chapter 464: On the Eve of Departure (Four More Flowers!)
Tang Song didn't answer her question immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Qingxiu, you have been to the assessment before, what did the examiner say?"
Although Ning Qingxiu was a little disappointed, she still said: "They said that my qualifications are okay, it is a water attribute, and then there is no follow-up, I know that it is because we don't have money for them, so they don't choose me." ”
Tang Song nodded and said, "That's fine, I just tried it, and your meridians are suitable for the operation of true qi, so basically there is no problem in becoming a martial artist." In this way, I will leave you with cultivation exercises and martial arts, as well as the Yuan Jing to be used, and you will work hard to cultivate yourself and become an excellent martial artist in the future, how about it?"
Ning Qingxiu hesitated, and Old Man Ning pondered and did not make a sound. After struggling a lot, Ning Qingxiu spoke: "Brother Tang, can I cultivate with you?"
"Cultivate with me?" Tang Song said with a frown.
Ning Qingxiu saw the expression on Tang Song's face, and couldn't help but say with some loss: "Brother Tang, are you afraid that I will drag you down?"
Tang Song shook his head with a smile, looked at Ning Qingxiu's lost expression, and couldn't help but say: "I didn't mean that, I mean that now I can't protect myself, if you follow me, there will be danger." ”
Ning Qingxiu said: "I'm not afraid of danger, I'm really not afraid of danger, I want to be a martial artist." ”
Tang Song saw that Ning Qingxiu's will seemed to be very firm, so he looked at Old Man Ning and asked, "Grandpa Ning, what do you mean?"
Old man Ning struggled in his heart, on the one hand, he also wanted Ning Qingxiu to become a real martial artist and glorify their ancestors for their Ning family, but on the other hand, he didn't want Ning Qingxiu to follow Tang and Song, after all, now Tang and Song were wanted criminals in the Dameng Empire, and it was too dangerous to follow him, so he was very entangled.
Tang Song saw that he didn't speak, and thought he was unwilling, so he said: "Qingxiu, since Grandpa Ning is unwilling, then you stay at home, and when the limelight is over for a while, I will come back to see you." ”
Old man Ning took advantage of Ning Qingxiu's anger and explained: "It's not that I don't want to, but now Qingxiu has no ability to protect himself at all, so you go out like this, once you run into the city guards, then you will be in danger." ”
Tang Song said: "If I can safely take Qingxiu out of the imperial capital, are you still willing to let her practice with me?" Tang Song wanted Ning Qingxiu to follow him to cultivate, but he didn't have any other meaning, on the one hand, he simply wanted to repay his kindness, and the other was that since Ning Qingxiu wanted to cultivate, then Tang Song would try his best to cultivate her.
As long as Ning Qingxiu is talented, Tang Song doesn't mind giving her resources. After all, Ning Qingxiu's background is too ordinary, if no one helps, with her qualifications, it is impossible to achieve anything.
Moreover, Tang Song also had a selfish motive to bring Ning Qingxiu to Lingxiao City to see if there was any chance.
Although Tang and Song Dynasty really wanted to stay in the Dameng Imperial Capital, enter the Dameng Secret Realm, and look for the legendary fairy spirit essence. However, the development of things has completely exceeded Tang Song's expectations, and he has no chance to enter the Great Meng Secret Realm again. Therefore, he can only plan to return to Lingxiao City first, at least over there, the power of the Great Meng Empire cannot extend there.
Therefore, Tang Song had to ask for Old Man Ning's consent first.
"What do you mean?" Old Man Ning was surprised, "Can you still take her out of the imperial capital safely?"
Tang Song said: "You don't have to worry about this, if I can, are you willing to let her go to Lingxiao City with me?"
"Lingxiao City?" Old Man Ning said in surprise, "What are you doing in Lingxiao City?"
Tang Song said: "I'll tell you honestly, in fact, before I came to the Great Meng Imperial Capital, I had participated in the disciple assessment of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, how can I say it, if I go back now, I should still be able to join the Lingxiao Sword Sect." I think that in Lingxiao City, the people of the Great Meng Empire should not dare to come to Lingxiao City to find me. ”
Old man Ning said: "Okay, since Qingxiu is willing, I can't let her down as a grandfather, she wanted to be a martial artist before, but I, the grandfather, didn't have the ability, so I delayed her, now that I have such a good opportunity, of course I want to support her." ”
Ning Qingxiu said sadly: "Grandpa, it's not your fault. ”
Old man Ning waved his hand and said, "Okay girl, since you have the opportunity, you must work hard, you know?"
Tang Song suddenly said: "Grandpa Ning, why don't you go to Lingxiao City with us?" Anyway, if you stay here, you're just one person, and if you go to Lingxiao City, we can still take care of you." ”
Old man Ning shook his head and said, "No need, I'm used to living here, and suddenly running so far away, I'm not used to it." Besides, it's not like Qingxiu won't come back, you can still come back to see me when you have time. ”
Ning Qingxiu also said: "Grandpa, why don't you come with us." By the way, Brother Tang, can we really leave the imperial capital?"
Tang Song hesitated, he really wanted to take Old Man Ning with him, leaving him here alone, he was really not at ease, an old man was at home alone, if there was anything, no one would take care of him. In any case, they are all life-saving benefactors, Tang Song felt that he could help them as much as possible within his ability, and try to let them get the best.
With the current wealth of Tang and Song Dynasty, it is too easy to let a few people live a good life. Although he spent more than 10 billion to buy a medium-grade spiritual vein, he buried another 5 billion under the mountain range of the Sansheng Cave Heaven. But there are still billions of medium-grade Yuanjing on him, and a drop in the bucket is enough for Old Man Ning to enjoy happiness for a lifetime.
"Grandpa Ning, in fact, the reason why I am so confident is because I found an underground passage leading to the outside of the city in that stone chamber under the well. If you want, you can come with us and go to Lingxiao City, you can rest assured, as long as I am here, everything will be fine. ”
Old man Ning was stunned, he had gone down to the stone chamber at the bottom of the well I don't know how many times, but he had never seen any underground passages, was this true? "You didn't lie to me?"
Tang Song said: "Why am I lying to you? If you don't believe it, we can go down and have a look now." ”
Ning Qingxiu was overjoyed and said, "Grandpa, come with us, I don't want to leave you." "There was no way before, so we could only be separated temporarily, but now that we can go together, Ning Qingxiu naturally doesn't want to be separated from her grandfather. Since the death of her parents, she has always been dependent on her grandfather, and if she had a choice, she would definitely be willing to stay by his grandfather's side.
On the one hand, there is idealism, and on the other hand, it is difficult for her to choose, but fortunately, although Old Man Ning is now in his sixties, his body is still very tough. So Ning Qingxiu planned to wait until she had learned something, and then come back to pick up her grandfather and go over.
Under the persuasion of Tang Song and Ning Qingxiu, Old Man Ning decided to go with them.
