If An Yi’s Spiritual Root was bad, maybe Le Bohong and his people would not take them to the Clear Heart Academy. They may even leave him and his cousin in the Mingot waters or try something worse with them, he was really not sure if he, Ning Cheng, could even escape being killed by the several forces of the Mingot City.
“Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi, do you really have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root?” Lu Xue’s eyes lit up and immediately asked.
It was not only Lu Xue’s eyes that were shining brightly, even the other people were looking at An Yi with envious looks. Having a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, one could not only easily enter the Clear Heart Academy, but even a teacher would also accept her to mentor her as her Master.
An Yi nodded, “Yes, I do have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root.”
Learning that An Yi did indeed have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, Le Bohong and the others suddenly became more enthusiastic, but rather their enthusiasm had shifted from Ning Cheng, and onto An Yi.
Ning Cheng did not mind it, with her having a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, he knew that it was the right and proper thing to do.
……
Three days later Ning Cheng followed Le Bohong and the several people to return to the Mingot City once more. This was Ning Cheng’s second visit to the Mingot City, the first time he had come here, he had stayed there for less than half an hour, before he had to leave.
This time he was absolutely helpless, if he did not follow Le Bohong and the others, he did not know what the people from the Clear Heart Academy would do to them.
Mingot City remained the same, but at the entrance of the Mingot City was a short figure, but he was extremely fierce looking.
“Ning Cheng, that person is called Miu Li Hu, and is one of the big shots of the Wolf Palace, the one you killed, Miu Wen Hong, was his son, I heard that this person covers his shortcomings extremely closely. You do not need to worry, you are now a person of the Clear Heart Academy, how could he even hurt you.” Le Bohong after knowing that Ning Cheng only had a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, in addition to his age being older than Ning Cheng, he no longer called him as Brother Ning. However, he was still fairly polite, except for the change in addressing him, he did not change anything else, as he did not know if Ning Cheng and An Yi had a deep relationship.
Without even Le Bohong speaking those words to him, Ning Cheng could already feel that that short guy was staring at him with his eyes filled with Killing Intent. Le Bohong said that this person was Miu Wen Hong’s father, evidently he was not wrong about it.
“Was it you who killed my son Wen Hong?” Miu Li Hu still held back his anger in front of Le Bohong, but looked at Ning Cheng with a ruthless and severe stare and asked.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, he felt that Miu Li Hu simply did not put Le Bohong and the others in his eyes. Moreover, Miu Li Hu’s cultivation level, he could not see through it. Since he could not see through his cultivation level, it was obvious that Miu Li Hu was, without a doubt, a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm.
“Who is your son?” Ning Cheng calmly said, while simultaneously thinking in his heart, that if Le Bohong did not help him, what should he do?
“My son is Miu Wen Hong, who chased after you, but did not come back, wasn’t it you who killed my child? You will leave your head behind in order to pay homage to my child now.” Miu Li Hu unceremoniously said, as he stepped forward, and moved his hands towards Ning Cheng.
Le Bohong did not think that Miu Li Hu would not even look him in the eyes, and even step forward, his face sank and said, “Miu Li Hu, what do you mean by that? Do you not even keep the Clear Heart Academy in your eyes?”
Miu Li Hu’s red eyes stared at Le Bohong and said, “I have always respected the Clear Heart Academy, but my son was killed, moreover the person who killed him does not belong to the Clear Heart Academy, why would the Clear Heart Academy step forward to stop me from taking revenge for my dead son?”
Le Bohong did not expect that Miu Li Hu did not fear the Clear Heart Academy and would even dare to argue with him, his face immediately turned red.
Lu Xue came forward and said, “Lord of the Wolf Palace, you killing Ning Cheng does not matter, but I am sure that if you kill Ning Cheng now, a month later, the Wolf Palace would be exterminated from this place, then the Miu Clan will not even have a single person left alive.”
The words from Lu Xue, suddenly chilled Miu Li Hu to the bone, even his hatred had cooled down a lot. If the people from the Clear Heart Academy were determined to guard this Ning kid, he simply would not be able to kill him anytime soon, unless he wanted to be a fugitive. But he did not understand just how did this kid make the students from the Clear Heart Academy come forward to help him?
Thinking of this, Miu Li Hu became calmer, he turned to Lu Xue and said while clasping his fist, “I, Miu Li Hu, am capable in my mind, I know that this kid is not a part of the Clear Heart Academy, I know this very well. Why does the Clear Heart Academy want to destroy me, when this matter doesn’t even involve the Clear Heart Academy with the Wolf Palace, just where is the justice in this?”
Lu Xue just sneered and said, “Discriminating against you, do not speak about morality and justice? Master Miu, others may be able to say that sentence to me, but what you just said was a slap to your own face. Do you even know what kind of a son you had, tell me one person in this Mingot City who doesn’t know about your son’s character. Do you think that only your son has the right to kill others, but others do not have the right kill your son?”
After saying those words, Lu Xue was disinclined to speak more words with Miu Li Hu, pointed at An Yi and directly said, “She is the cousin of Ning Cheng, do you even know that she is a person from the Clear Heart Academy? An Yi has a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, do you even understand what it means, that as a Clear Heart Academy’s student, she is already qualified to be a core disciple of the Clear Heart Academy. Therefore, An Yi is already equal to a core disciple of the Clear Heart Academy, and Ning Cheng is her cousin, if you do not want your Wolf Palace, and are even willing to destroy your Miu Clan, then you can go ahead and kill him.”
Because Miu Li Hu did not give him any face, Le Bohong’s face was already dark. After Lu Xue finished, he did not wait for Miu Li Hu to reply and coldly continued, “Miu Li Hu, do not think that just because this is Mingot City, and that you are also a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, so you can show your swagger before others. I do not even put you even in my eyes, even if I did not have the heart to kill you, as long as I even mention your name in the Academy, I am pretty sure there would be many people that would come for your head for the Academy.”
This time Miu Li Hu seemed to have completely calmed down, but there were many veins that stood out on his hands. But he knew that Le Bohong had not lied to him, once he angered the disciples of the Clear Heart Academy. He knew that in Mingot City, there were already a lot of people who would even sacrifice their lives for even getting a bone to enter the Clear Heart Academy, him being a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm was really nothing compared to it. Wolf Palace was not even the dominant power of the Mingot City. Even if he took a step back, nobody would help him in engaging the disciples of the Clear Heart Academy, Ning Cheng even had a cousin with a Pure Spiritual Root, how could he let Ning Cheng go, unless he could kill them together. Otherwise it would only create future troubles for him.
Miu Li Hu stared at Ning Cheng with a wicked and ferocious stare, and eventually gave up, turned and quickly disappeared into the Mingot City. He must kill Ning Cheng, however he had to find an alternate way to accomplish it.
Ning Cheng tuned towards Le Bohong and Lu Xue and cupped his fists and said thanks, but in his heart he had already made up his mind. He must make sure to hold his destiny in his own hands, the feeling of depending on such people made him really uncomfortable. At this time, he had already gotten his hands on several hundred Spirit Stones, as well as the Golden Cicada Fruit, who knows maybe he could even ent
er the True Condensation Realm with its help?
“It is just a small matter, we will wait for a few days in the Mingot City, in a few days, we will board the airship Type Artefact that will be visiting here from the Ming Yi Country.” Le Bohong said in an extremely casual tone.
……
Ning Cheng and An Yi followed the arrangement made by Le Bohong, and also started to understand the minds of the disciple that were admitted into the Clear Heart Academy. Lu Xue would also often seek An Yi from time to time, to discuss cultivation, and even trying to deepen their relationship. After learning that Ning Cheng had a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, there was practically no one who came to seek him out apart from Le Bohong, who only came occasionally, other than him no one came even close to him.
Ning Cheng was also aware of this, and did not go out to seek Le Bohong to deepen their relations. He did not dare to stick himself with the other’s cultivation, and simply began to study his own Array Formations Methods. His knowledge about it was only at the basic level, now that he was concentrating on researching Array Formation Methods, with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, this knowledge about Array Formations grew leaps and bounds.
On this day Ning Cheng was preparing a Level 2 Array Formation, when An Yi knocked on his door.
“Big Brother Ning……” An Yi had just said a few words, when Ning Cheng beckoned her with his hands and said, “An Yi, from now on, call me by my name, or simply as ‘Cousin’.”
Call Big Brother Ning, as her cousin, ‘cousin’?
An Yi simply didn’t think much and omitted the word Ning before saying, “Big Brother, the airship has stopped outside Mingot City, Sister Lu Xue asked me to ask you to come on board together.”

“An Yi you are now a Junior Apprentice Sister, I introduced you to her once, this is the Clear Heart Academy’s Senior Sister Apprentice Yong Gu Yun, Senior Sister Yong helps the Clear Heart Academy in choosing which students to take back……” when Ning Cheng and An Yi comes out, Lu Xue introduced An Yi with enthusiasm, besides her, there were already several people gathered near her, some of them were telling each other the dangers and the resulting experiences that they had come across, some of them were saying that it was time to choose students from the Ping Continent for the Clear Heart Academy.
Le Bohong was also with Lu Xue, there was also a circle of people gathered around them, and were jubilantly discussing things with each other.
Ning Cheng knew that he himself did not belong to any of the circles, those people gossiping around in the circles, the worst cultivation among them was Qi Gathering 6th Level, while Yong Gu Yun was at the pinnacle of the Qi Gathering 8th Level. In contrast, his cultivation of the Qi Gathering 4th Level really did not belong in this place. Since An Yi was able to become friends with the enthusiastic Lu Xue, he estimated that it was because of her Spiritual Root. If An Yi was the same as him, having a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, surely even she would not have the qualifications to be in that circle.
An Yi already was a person who did not talk much, especially after her Master’s death which was a great blow to her. However recently, she had been following Ning Cheng and even risking her life together with him, and had seen too many things, after seeing so many things her heart was slowly starting to open up. In addition, Lu Xue was also a woman, so there were a lot of common topics between them. As Lu Xue deliberately wanted to become close friends with her, she thought that An Yi had no experience in such matters and thus gradually integrated her into her circle.
Ning Cheng also did not go interrupt them, as he was looking at the huge airship Type Artefact in front of him. On his planet Earth, he had never boarded a plane, but he knew how big the planes were. Now in his opinion, even the largest plane was smaller than the huge airship Type Artefact in front of him by at least a dozen times, this was a genuine giant.
This huge airship Type Artefact was going to fly, he did not know if it purely depended on Spirit Stones, of if there was something else that powered it. He did not believe that this kind of huge airship did not have a power source, as it would not fly for no reason.
Only when it was time to board, did An Yi had the opportunity to excuse herself to go call Ning Cheng.
“Who is he?” Yong Gu Yun thought she knew everything about An Yi even better than herself, she also similarly had a Pure Spiritual Root, and thus paid a high attention to An Yi, now that An Yi had specifically gone to call a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, she asked with some doubt.
Lu Xue looked back at An Yi and said while sighing, “That is An Yi’s cousin Ning Cheng, An Yi and his relationship doesn’t seem to normal.”
Yong Gu Yun immediately asks, “What is Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Root?”
Lu Xue shook her head and said, “I heard that it was a very disappointing multi line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, he and An Yi are just opposites in this matter.”
“Impossible, in the waters of the Mingot Sea, how can one with a multi-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root cultivate? Looking at his Qi fluctuations, he should be at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, right?” Yong Gu Yun asked in a surprised way.
“It is because of luck; he had obtained 5 Qi Gathering Pills.” Le Bohong came over with a smile, “However Ning Cheng is still quite good, and is highly principled, unfortunately, it seems that in this life, he is likely to stop at just the Qi Gathering Realm, I think that it would be even difficult for him to reach the Qi Gathering 7th Level.”
“If that is the case, he really should not go to the Clear Heart Academy. To arrive at the Clear Heart Academy, An Yi would certainly be taken in as a disciple by an Elder in the Essence Building Realm, it would be difficult for Ning Cheng to see her again.” Yong Gu Yun said while smiling and looking in the direction of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng did not know what the others were thinking of him, however he was a person from Earth, he was already well versed with the changes in human feelings. He could even anticipate what would happen to him once he arrived at the Clear Heart Academy, he would definitely not be treated well. At this time An Yi came to him to call him to get on board, he swept his eyes over the rest of the students from the Clear Heart Academy, and said to An Yi, “An Yi, with your Spiritual Roots you can easily go into the Clear Heart Academy, and would definitely have a well-known teacher to guide you, you can even become a core student of the Clear Heart Academy. The chances of us meeting in the future will be very few, it is better if I share some of my Spirit Stones with you now.”
An Yi in her mind was very surprised, and hastily said, “Big Brother, I will always be together with you, my master also said this, she wanted me to be together with you.”
Ning Cheng forced out a wry smile and said, “An Yi, at that time your master had said that, because at that time you did not have any friends, and also did not have anyone else, now that you have friends, you could clearly focus on your cultivation in the Clear Heart Academy. If your master was still alive, even she would not want you and me to be together.”
“No, I must be together with you.” An Yi stubbornly said. She did not have many reasons to argue with Ning Cheng, she simply felt that she would only be happy in being together with Ning Cheng, it just felt comfortable in her heart.
Ning Cheng sighed darkly and said, “We must leave Mingot City, wait until we reach the Clear Heart Academy and cultivate hard, I believe that the Clear Heart Academy will give a lot of training resources to you. Moreover, even your master said that your background is not ordinary, if your cultivation level does not rise up, there is absolutely no way of knowing your origins. More importantly, if you became the core disciple of the Academy, and if you and I are still together, maybe the Academy would think that I am the one who was holding you back.”
An Yi fell silent, she no longer was the pure young nun who had just stepped out of the temple. Sh
e understood the meaning of Ning Cheng’s words, Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Root was very poor, if she went along with Ning Cheng, perhaps the Academy would kill Ning Cheng for holding her back. In this period of time together with him, she had already seen too many bloody things.
“I understand; I will remember Big Brother’s words.” An Yi already had secretly made up her heart, she must try hard in cultivation, when her cultivation level was high enough, then she would help Ning Cheng in seeking more Spirit Stones.
Ning Cheng in his heart was very upset, now when he saw An Yi, going to the Clear Heart Academy, he knew that it would be very difficult for them to meet.
“After I arrive at the Academy, I would definitely have more cultivation resources, you do not have to give me those things immediately. The amount of cultivation resources needed by you are definitely more.” An Yi had seen Ning Cheng’s cultivation, she knew that Ning Cheng needed a scary amount of Spirit Stones to cultivate. Although Ning Cheng had obtained several hundred pieces of Spirit Stones previously, she knew that it was definitely not enough for him.
“An Yi, let’s go aboard.” Lu Xue called from afar.
Ning Cheng took An Yi’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s go aboard.”
Miao Li Hu who was standing far away to one side was staring at the back of Ning Cheng and An Yi with raw hate, he pledged in his heart, even if he had to sacrifice the Wolf’s Palace, he would secretly follow them to the Ming Ye country, then he would try to find opportunities to kill Ning Cheng.
……
Ning Cheng had not guessed wrong, when he and An Yi went aboard, An Yi was put in a better room than him, only after Ning Cheng asked the other people to show him the way did he know, that this airship really had a partnership with the Clear Heart Academy and the Ming Ye Country.
