The Wind Rises 371;The Conspiracy of the Ancient Ancestors
Chen Ning looked at Lin Ruoyan standing at the gate with a dull expression, and then glanced at Qin Zixuan who was standing beside him with the corner of his eye, and secretly complained in his heart, one head and two big, he never thought that Lin Ruoyan would take the initiative to come to the door, especially when there was still his fiancΓ©e standing next to him.
One is a deep affection for himself, and the other is a fiancΓ©e who has been rumored in Jason's kingdom and is known to the world, and the two of them actually met together at this moment, which suddenly made Chen Ning feel embarrassed.
Che Guevara was obviously aware of Chen Ning's trouble, but at this time he didn't plan to help, and smiled at Chen Ning: "Brother, I still have something to deal with, so I'll go first." After saying this, Che Guevara left here very unrighteously, and still turned back three times in one step, his eyes kept scanning back and forth on Chen Ning, Qin Zixuan, and Lin Ruoyan, with a wicked smile and a gloating look on his face.
Chen Ning looked at Lin Ruoyan who was standing at the gate with a wry smile on his face and asked, "Why did you come here?" β
Today, Lin Ruoyan is wearing a set of white tights, which perfectly outlines her devil-like figure, just her figure, there is a fatal attraction, and it makes people have the urge to hug it tightly in their arms.
Lin Ruoyan's outfit is very capable, not dragging mud and water, and the dress of the eldest lady born in a big family is completely different, at this moment she looks full of chivalrous demeanor.
As soon as Lin Ruoyan's cold and fierce gaze fell on Chen Ning, it immediately softened, became soft, and said with a smile: "Aren't you welcoming me here?" Lin Ruoyan looked at Chen Ning with an unconcealable affection.
Chen Ning smiled bitterly, looked at Lin Ruoyan in a white suit with complicated eyes, and said, "Welcome, of course welcome, come in and sit, let me do my best as a landlord." β
Lin Ruoyan smiled sweetly at Chen Ning, then flicked the reins in his hand and strode inside.
And the members of the Black Panther Mercenary Group who were waiting at the gate, one of them immediately took the reins and took away the demon beast mount that Lin Ruoyan was riding.
Lin Ruoyan came to Chen Ning and stopped, looking at the handsome face in front of him with affection, and just when he wanted to say something, he suddenly found that there was a girl standing next to Chen Ning who was also good-looking, his eyes suddenly fell on Qin Zixuan's body, and asked suspiciously: "Chen Ning, who is this?" β
"Hello, my name is Qin Zixuan!" Qin Zixuan took the initiative to speak, with a little smile on her face, but her heart was sour, she could naturally see Lin Ruoyan's affection for Chen Ning, and she also understood in her heart that the relationship between the two of them was not so simple, and at the same time glared at Chen Ning fiercely.
"Qin Zixuan? Could you be Princess Zixuan of the Jason Kingdom? Lin Ruoyan looked at Qin Zixuan with some surprise.
Qin Zixuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me, I don't know if you are, Miss?" β
Lin Ruoyan's gaze at Qin Zixuan suddenly changed subtly, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a little imperceptible vinegar, but he didn't show it, and said with a smile: "My name is Lin Ruoyan, and I am from the Lin family." β
"It turned out to be Miss Lin Ruoyan, I don't know which kingdom Miss Lin Ruoyan is from? Zixuan has heard of a few Lin families, but I don't know if it's a family you know. Qin Zixuan said with a smile on her face, her tone soft.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess, our Lin family doesn't belong to any kingdom, we have always lived in the mountains, and we are not the small families with the same name as us in the nearby kingdoms." Lin Ruoyan said.
Seeing that the two girls had a faint intention to compete, Chen Ning immediately had a headache, and hurriedly said: "Don't stand outside, everyone, let's go into the house to catch up." β
In a splendid living room, Chen Ning, Qin Zixuan and Lin Ruoyan sat at a large round table chatting.
And Lin Ruoyan, who had just met Chen Ning, seemed very happy, and kept talking to Chen Ning, during which he was also very curious to ask Chen Ning why he formed a mercenary group. As for the questions asked by Lin Ruoyan, Chen Ning also knew everything and did not hide it at all.
At this moment, Lin Ruoyan's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something important, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Chen Ning's eyes, and said: "I almost forgot, Chen Ning, I have good news for you, I have now worshiped the ancestor of the Desolate Gu family as a teacher, and he also taught me the Kwai Shui Heavenly Scripture of his cultivation, which is an extremely rare heaven-level cultivation technique." β
"What? Heavenly Rank Cultivation Exercises? Chen Ning was taken aback, although the cultivation exercises on the Xuantian Continent were not as precious as the Xuantian Techniques, the Heavenly Rank Cultivation Exercises were still incomparably precious, very rare, and even some hermit families could not possess the Heavenly Rank Cultivation Techniques.
"This Kwai Shui Heavenly Scripture is a water attribute cultivation exercise, and I happen to be the water attribute Xuan power, just right for me, since I practiced the Kwai Water Heavenly Scripture this exercise, the strength has improved very rapidly, it is several times the previous one, I have only been practicing for more than two months, and my strength has improved from one and a half step Xuan King to two turns, and I am still sure that I can be promoted to the realm of three and a half step Xuan King within half a year, according to this, I think it will not take me a few years, I will be able to become a strong person in the Xuan King realm." Lin Ruoyan's face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
Hearing Lin Ruoyan's words, Qin Zixuan, who was sitting on the side, was surprised in her heart, and looked at Lin Ruoyan dressed as a chivalrous woman in surprise, she couldn't believe that Lin Ruoyan, who looked about the same age as herself, was actually a half-step Xuan King, and she was still practicing the Heavenly Rank Exercises that only existed in legends.
But in an instant, Qin Zixuan's expression was gloomy, and her mood became very depressed. From what Lin Ruoyan said, she already knew that Lin Ruoyan's identity was higher than herself, I am afraid that she is the daughter of a very powerful big family, not only is she a person whose cultivation talent is stronger than herself, and she has already reached the realm of a half-step Xuan King at the same age as herself, and she also worshiped an extremely powerful master to teach the Heavenly Rank Cultivation Exercises, and the conditions are superior to her in all aspects, although she is Chen Ning's fiancΓ©e, but compared to the other party, she is not even half of the other party.
Noticing Qin Zixuan's changes, Chen Ning was also a little worried in his heart, and he didn't dare to continue chatting with Lin Ruoyan here anymore, so he asked someone to arrange a room for Lin Ruoyan, and then the three of them dispersed one after another.
After leaving the living room, Qin Zixuan's mood became very low, and she returned to her room alone and locked herself in, sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the wall in a daze.
At this time, the door was gently retreated, and Chen Ning walked in from the outside with light steps, looking at Qin Zixuan like this, he was also a little sad in his heart.
Chen Ning gently closed the door, walked in front of the bed and sat beside Qin Zixuan, looking at her with a concerned face, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort Youyue.
Chen Ning sighed secretly in his heart, he himself was not good at rhetoric, and he also felt a little helpless in the face of such a situation.
Qin Zixuan's eyes regained some brilliance, she looked at Chen Ning with a somewhat miserable expression, her eyes were gradually covered with a layer of mist, and finally converged into two crystal clear teardrops that burst out of her eyes, slowly flowing down her cheeks, and finally fell to the ground and shattered.
Seeing that Qin Zixuan was actually in tears, Chen Ning immediately became flustered, but before he could speak, Qin Zixuan had already spoken: "Brother Chen Ning, tell me, is the reason why you refuse to marry me because you have other girls in your heart, and you are a better girl than me." β
Qin Zixuan was very sad, with a bit of crying in her tone, and today, Lin Ruoyan's sudden appearance unabashedly showed deep affection for Chen Ning, and her conditions were better than her in all aspects, which made Qin Zixuan also feel a huge threat, as if the person she loved was about to be snatched away by others.
Chen Ning affectionately took Qin Zixuan's hand, held her white and tender palm tightly in his hand, and said softly: "Xuan'er, things are not what you imagined, the reason why I am not in a hurry to marry you is because I can't talk about my children's personal affairs now, and I still have a heavy burden on my shoulders, if these things are not solved, it will bring disaster to the family and you sooner or later." β
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't want to listen to what you've repeated over I don't know how many times." Qin Zixuan cried.
Chen Ning looked at Qin Zixuan at this moment with a complicated expression, since he met her, Qin Zixuan had always given him the feeling that he was obedient to himself, and now, it was the first time he saw Qin Zixuan crying sadly, which made him feel a little hurt in his heart.
Chen Ning sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that there were some things that he had to confess to Qin Zixuan, otherwise, he was afraid that he would break the heart of this girl he loved deeply.
"Xuan'er, although I seem to be incomparably beautiful on the surface, not only a Xuan King, but also one of the eight great dynasties of the continent to protect the country, but do you know, in fact, my life is not easy, because I have many enemies outside." Chen Ning's expression was in a trance, and he slowly told the story that had been buried in his mind.
Qin Zixuan's crying gradually stopped, and her eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Ning.
"Over the years, I have roamed the Xuanwang Continent and offended a lot of enemies, although many of them have been destroyed by me, but there are still some powerful forces that I can't shake, including the Shi family and the Miyamoto family. These two families are hermit families on the Xuanwang Continent, their strength is extremely strong, and there are hermit powerhouses who have reached the realm of Xuanzun in the family, and I and these two families have a deep blood feud that cannot be resolved, and in the end there is only a situation of endless death, either I die, or they live. Moreover, these two families are probably looking for me everywhere outside, although my current position is very far away from them, but I know that they will find this place sooner or later, once they find my location, then even the identity of the protector of the Ming Dynasty will not help, so, now I just want to improve my strength, otherwise, when their Xuanzun finds me in the future, then I will die without a place to be buried, and even affect you. β
"In addition to them, there is also the Ming Dynasty that I met in the Eagle Kingdom last time, this Qing Dynasty is also an extremely powerful country, their protector has also reached the realm of Xuanzun, and is also greedy for the treasures on my body, although my identity as the protector of the Ming Dynasty can temporarily shock him, so that he does not dare to do anything to me, but no one knows whether the Xuanzun of the Great Qing Dynasty will secretly attack me."
Chen Ning stared at Qin Zixuan with a serious face and said, "Xuan'er, now you should always know how strong the pressure I am facing?" My enemies outside are all hermit powerhouses who have reached the Xuanzun realm, and at this moment, I will have no power to resist them, and I won't even have the ability to escape, and I don't even know how long I have left of my life. β
In order to explain these things clearly to Qin Zixuan, Chen Ning had no choice but to tell the things that had been hidden in his heart and had not been leaked to anyone. Because Chen Ning also knew in his heart that when the matter came to this point, if he continued to conceal it, it would only further confirm the thoughts in Qin Zixuan's heart, causing great pain to her soul, which Chen Ning Hotel did not want to see.
Listening to what Chen Ning said, Qin Zixuan had completely stopped crying, and looked at Chen Ning blankly with two crystal clear tears on her pretty face, and it was not until this moment that she finally understood how much pressure and danger Brother Chen Ning, who looked incomparably beautiful on the surface, was under great pressure on his shoulders and what great danger he was facing.
The strongest person in the Xuanzun realm, this is an unimaginably powerful existence in Qin Zixuan's heart, in her eyes, this is a peerless powerhouse that only exists in legends, and many people on the Xuantian Continent will not be able to see his dignity in their lifetime.
And Chen Ning, the enemy he provoked outside was not only a supreme person who had reached the supreme realm of Xuanzun, but there were also two or three of them, which made Qin Zixuan's heart feel extremely frightened, and at the same time, he was even more deeply worried about Chen Ning.
Chen Ning held Qin Zixuan's hand tightly, this was the first time he had touched her jade palm that was as white and tender as mutton fat and very smooth since he came into contact with Qin Zixuan, feeling the soft feeling coming from his palm, Chen Ning was not in the mood to enjoy it carefully at all, his eyes were staring at Qin Zixuan tightly, and he said with a serious face: "Xuan'er, I didn't even tell my father and mother about this matter, I hope you can keep this secret for me, don't let others know, the powerhouse of the Xuanzun realm is too powerful, Far from what I and Ouyang Mansion can deal with at the moment, I don't want them to worry about me. β
Qin Zixuan looked at Chen Ning in a daze, the expression full of pain and sadness on her face had completely disappeared, and was replaced by deep worry.
"I'm sorry Brother Chen Ning, I... I really didn't know you were under so much pressure. Qin Zixuan said in a mournful voice.
Chen Ning touched her head, a smile appeared on her face, she shook her head slightly, and said, "Xuan'er, it's good that you can understand, the hatred between me and the two of them can't be resolved, and I really don't dare to take it lightly until these things are resolved." β
After Chen Ning calmed Qin Zixuan's emotions, he left here with a heavy heart, and then returned to his resting room, but when he just walked to the living room, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his originally plain gaze also became fierce in an instant, like a sharp sword out of the sheath staring at the center of the living room.
I saw that there, a man in a blue robe was sitting at the round table with his back to Chen Ning, drinking the tea on the table leisurely alone.
This person has long black hair draped behind him, and there is no breath leaking out of his body, and he looks like an ordinary person, very ordinary.
However, it was such a seemingly ordinary person, but Chen Ning's face became very solemn, and he immediately became highly vigilant, as if he was facing a great enemy, because he was not even able to reach the slightest breath of this person, if it was not visible to the naked eye, he would even directly ignore the existence of this person.
And the person who can give him this feeling is only a hermit powerhouse who has reached the realm of Xuanzun.
A hermit powerhouse of the Xuanzun realm suddenly appeared in the room where he was resting, which made Chen Ning immediately become extremely nervous.
"Who are you?" Chen Ning asked in a deep voice, hiding in his right hand behind him, a white jade stone had already appeared, with his current ability, he was powerless to face Xuanzun, and the only way was to ask for help from the ancestor of the Lin family.
"Hehe, little brother don't be nervous, the old man came to visit rashly, if there is anything to disturb, please bear with me." An old voice came from the mouth of the blue-robed man, who sat at the table in the same position as before, without looking back.
Although the man did not show the slightest hostility, Chen Ning still did not dare to be careless, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the back of the man. He asked in a deep voice, "Senior, I don't know who you are?" β
"Since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you in advance, presumably Ruoyan that girl has already told you that she has a master, and I am her master." The man said in a light tone.
Chen Ning was slightly startled in his heart, looked at the man's back in surprise, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you are the ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family?" β
"Yes, it's the old man!"
Knowing the identity of the other party, Chen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the hermit powerhouse of the Xuanzun realm caused a lot of pressure in his heart, but at least he was sure that the other party was not an enemy.
"Little brother, please sit down, let's have a good chat." The ancestor of the Aragon family said.
Chen Ning regained his previous calmness, strode to the table and sat opposite the old man of the Desolate Ancient Family, it was only then that Chen Ning saw the true face of the ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family, it was a very ordinary-looking old man, his face was covered with wrinkles, the only thing that was a little different was that there was a water-blue mark on his forehead, and the imprint became difficult to see because of the wrinkles piled up on his forehead.
The ancestor of the Huanggu family looked at Chen Ning with a deep gaze and said, "Little brother, I don't know if I should call you the protector of the Ming Dynasty, or because I should call you Chen Ning?" β
"Seniors, call me Chen Ning." Chen Ning said with a smile.
The ancestor of the ancient family nodded slightly, and said, "Then I'll call you Chen Ning, Chen Ning, I don't like to talk around the bend, I'll just say it." β
The ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family paused in his tone and said, "Chen Ning, I can say that I came here specifically for Ruoyan this time, so the next thing to be discussed is still related to Ruoyan's girl." β
Chen Ning's heart sank slightly, and he said, "Could it be that the predecessor came here for the marriage between Ruoyan and your Huanggu family?" β
The ancestor of the Wasted Ancient Family shook his head, "If the marriage contract between this girl and our Wasted Ancient Family has been canceled, I will naturally not continue to dwell on this matter, I came this time for the sake of this girl's future." β
"I don't know what the seniors mean?" Chen Ning was a little unsure of what the ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family meant.
The ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family pondered for a moment, and said: "Chen Ning, if you say that this girl's system is special, it is rare to encounter in a thousand years on the Xuantian Continent, if you find a suitable water attribute cultivation technique for her to cultivate, the strength will progress very quickly, therefore, I taught her the water attribute heavenly rank cultivation technique, which can allow her to achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation, and even it is not difficult to break through to the Supreme Xuanzun in the future, but there is a taboo that must be observed, that is, when her strength reaches the realm of the Sixth Xuanwang King, She must not break her virgin body, otherwise it will have a huge impact on her future. After speaking, the face of the ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family became more and more serious.
Originally, Chen Ning's expression was also quite serious, but when he heard the last words of the ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family, his face couldn't help but change, and then he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Senior, you can rest assured that the relationship between me and Ruoyan has not yet developed to that point. β
"Well, that's for the best." The ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family nodded with satisfaction and said, "Chen Ning, you already know everything you should know, in order to talk about this girl's future achievements, so you must abide by this taboo." β
"I understand!" Chen Ning touched his nose a little embarrassed, at this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself, is he really a person?
The ancestor of the ancient family stood up from his chair: "The purpose of the old man's coming here has been achieved, let's leave today!" As soon as the words fell, the ancestor of the Asogu family had disappeared into the room and disappeared.
Chen Ning looked left and right, the windows and doors of the room were still tightly closed, and the whole room was completely sealed, without half a gap, in such an environment, he really couldn't think of how the ancestor of the Huanggu family left.
"Xuanzun's strength is really strong, and the supernatural powers he has are beyond our reach." Chen Ning muttered, with a deep envy in his heart.
"It turns out that Lin Ruoyan has a special physique with great cultivation talent, no wonder she is young and is already a master of the half-step Xuanwang class, so it is..."
Dozens of miles away, the ancestor of the Desolate Ancient Family turned into a phantom that was imperceptible to the naked eye, shuttling rapidly in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, flying towards the distance at an incredibly fast speed.
"After telling him these things, he shouldn't do anything male or female to Lin Ruoyan's girl, the body of the water spirit can finally be preserved intact, but the old man has placed a ban on her body, even if he really wants to do bad things to Lin Ruoyan, he won't be able to succeed." The ancestor of the ancient family smiled darkly, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, in this year, the biggest change is the Black Panther Mercenary Group, during this time, the Black Panther Mercenary Group has never stopped expanding externally, and has completely annexed the first-class forces of several surrounding kingdoms, including those countries that had a great enmity with the Explanation Kingdom in the past, making the Black Panther Mercenary Group a huge force that dominates one side, and the members of the mercenary group have expanded from 30,000 to 100,000, and there are more than 500 masters of the half-step Xuanwang class, Even the powerhouses of the Xuanwang realm have subdued three, and the scale is huge, and it is powerful.
Now within a radius of 100,000 miles, the reputation of the Black Panther Mercenary Group is already known to everyone, and everyone knows it, and all idle mercenaries or small mercenary groups show envy and admiration when they talk about the Black Panther Mercenary Group.
The Black Panther Mercenary Regiment's sudden rise and rapid growth to its current size has become a miracle.
On a deserted plain, a large group of people and horses are sitting on the ground to rest, tents are neatly set up around, not far away, hundreds of fires are burning, rising green smoke, mercenaries wearing various costumes are sitting in groups of three or five in front of the fire while chatting, while roasting the meat of demon beasts worn on iron forks.
On the ground, dozens of flags painted with flames were planted around, which was the military flag of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment.
In the largest tent in the center, Chen Ning and the others were gathering together for a meeting.
"Chen Ning, now that the Black Panther Mercenary Group has reached a certain scale, and its members have a full 100,000 members, it's time to build a city of our own." Dugu Feng said.
