The underground was too dim, and Su Mu didn't recognize Qianying's identity at the first time, and thought it was a hidden master of the Situ family. It wasn't until Qianying opened her mouth to speak that in an instant, Su Mu's own memory was pulled back to seven years ago.

Pull back to the Butterfly Valley of that year, the poor little girl who was suffering from a serious illness.

"Ning Ning?" Su Mu asked tentatively, but did not get any answer, because silence was already the best answer.

"Ning Ning, it's really you!" Su Mu couldn't help but ask. The two of them, who were still children at the time, would never have imagined that this parting would be separated by seven years.

Su Mu didn't know how many times he recalled the bits and pieces he spent with Ning Ning in his dreams. This little girl seems to have a strange magic on her body, giving Su Mu a sense of security and intimacy all the time.

"It's me, Brother Mu. Qianying finally replied, her voice was very hoarse, it sounded like a voice coming from deep in her throat, which was very different from Ning Ning's voice in Su Mu's impression.

"Ning Ning, how are you..." Su Mu had too many questions to ask for a while, but he didn't know where to speak, so he just stood still and looked at the hazy figure in the dark. He really wanted to step forward and take a closer look at Ning Ning's current appearance, but he was afraid that his reckless actions would make Ning Ning, who was afraid of life, a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it again and again, I don't know if I should take this step.

Ning Ning's move relieved Situ Jing's crisis, and while Su Mu was sluggish, Situ Jing quickly retreated behind the three masters, and then quietly looked at the two of them staring at each other in the dark.

Ning Ning's life experience Situ Jing also heard Lingxi and Wang Shi mention, he met Su Mu when he was very young, and later followed Lingxi to the distant White Emperor City to practice, and then followed Wang Shi to learn swordsmanship, and now he is also a master with considerable strength, and is one of Lingxi's most trusted people.

When he first saw this little girl, Situ Jing didn't know what Lingxi had taken a fancy to her. I only felt that this girl was as clean as a snowflake, her world was pure and spotless, and there was nothing else in her daily life except for practicing swords and performing tasks assigned by Lingxi.

The talent is very good, but the strength has not yet become a climate after all, and it is not enough to stand by the side of the eldest princess.

It wasn't until he witnessed Su Mu's reaction when he saw her that Situ Jing could figure out why Lingxi was so interested in this little girl.

Love house and Wu, that's probably what it's all about.

"Ning Ning, that day in the Falling Snow Tower, it was you, right?" After being silent for a long time, Su Mu finally asked.

"It's me. Ning Ning continued to answer in a trembling hoarse voice.

"Sure enough, I had a familiar intimacy at the time, and I didn't expect it to be you. Su Mu muttered, "Have you also been practicing with Master Wang all these years?

"Hmm. Ning Ning still maintains the style of speaking that she began to cherish words like gold when she was a child.

"Since you have been following Aunt Lingxi and Master Wang all these years, why haven't you told me all this time?"

Ning Ning: "......"

Seeing that Ning Ning didn't talk for a long time, Su Mu said helplessly: "Ning Ning, I have a lot to say to you, and I want to ask you a lot of things, but not now, you let me go now, I have something very important to do." ”

"No, I can't. Although his voice was hoarse, his tone was very firm, which was a little different from the introverted and submissive Ning Ning in Su Mu's impression.

"Why?

"Yes, besides, it's dangerous there, don't go. This was the longest sentence that Ning Ning ever spoke.

"I have to save someone, save someone who trusts me, save someone who I don't think deserves to die. ”

"No, I can't. Brother Mu, you just stay here, the matter will be over soon. Ning Ning's words became more and more fluent and natural, and finally formed an exchange with Su Mu, which was something that Su Mu had always longed for when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be realized in such a strange scene.

"Ning Ning, I have to go, please understand, don't force me to use my sword. Su Mu's tone had sunk, he knew very well that Ning Ning must have accepted the task of Lingxi or Wang Shi now, and he didn't want to meet Ning Ning again after many years, but there were some things that he really couldn't help himself.

"Brother Mu, I really can't let you go. If you must go, I will also use my sword to stop you. In the dark, Su Mu could feel that the sword in Ning Ning's hand was also exuding the unique cold aura of the Great Snow Mountain's true qi, and what surprised Su Mu even more was that its purity was even better than his own.

Could it be that after all these years, Ning Ning's cultivation has surpassed his own? How is this possible?

Su Mu shook his head, he hadn't relaxed his cultivation for a moment over the years. After repairing the meridians with snake tendons, his true qi cultivation speed has long been different from what it used to be, and he has learned the superior internal strength and heart method Snow Mountain Neijing from Wang Shi, and it is almost difficult to meet opponents among his peers except for talented monsters like Ding Ruoyan.

It's good now, in addition to his junior sister Otoha, Ning Ning's cultivation, which is more than two years younger than himself, has also surpassed him, and his so-called kendo genius is too worthless.

However, Su Mu also understood in his heart that cultivation was one thing, and actual combat was another. Cultivation is like a person's strength, no matter how great the strength is, if you can't use it, you can't form combat effectiveness without moves.

If it is a competition, Su Mu has the confidence to fight with anyone.

Back then, when he condensed his artistic conception, he could match the Tongmai Realm, and when the stars were hanging down, he dared to carry the Sea Realm and even take over the move of breaking the Sky Realm, but now the realm is similar, what is there to fear?

Su Mu has already ignited a strong fighting intent, and now he must race against time, he not only wants to cross Ning Ning, but also ensure that Ning Ning cannot be harmed, which is more difficult than simply defeating Ning Ning.

And on the other side of him, Ning Ning's attitude did not loosen in the slightest, and he was engrossed in preparing to take the move.

Situ Jing, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and secretly instructed the three Situ Mansion masters to wait and see what happened, and once they found that the situation was wrong, they would immediately stop Su Mu.

"Drink!" Su Mu suddenly roared, breaking the imminent atmosphere, and trotted all the way to Ning Ning with the sword body on his shoulder. When the two were about to make contact, they swept violently, relying on the astonishing momentum on the Qingshuang Sword to try to force Ning Ning back.

And Ning Ning is by no means without combat experience, over the years, she has fought with Wang Shi, fought with the opponents arranged by Situ Fu, and even practiced with Su Mu's junior sister Yin Yu without Su Mu's knowledge, and has already accumulated very rich combat experience.

Although she never thought that the opponent she would face in her first actual battle would be Su Mu.
