The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Jia Lingwei quickly spoke out, “No, no, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, your cultivation is much higher than me, and you also saved me that time. Just address me as Junior Apprentice Sister Lingwei.”

  The middle-aged female cultivator gave a smile and spoke, “Lingwei, is he that Ning Cheng?”

  Jia Lingwei had addressed him as Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, while also stating that he had

  ‘saved her life at that time’

  . It immediately allowed Jia Lingwei’s Master to realise that he should be the same, Ning Cheng.

  “This junior is indeed Ning Cheng. Many thanks for this senior to come to help.” Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fist and thanked her.

  The middle-aged female cultivator waved her hand and spoke, “I did not help you with anything, while you were able to kill that Duan Zhang by yourself. It means that your strength is far above me. I am Na Xinlan, Lingwei’s Master. I’m afraid I don’t deserve those two characters ‘Senior’ from you.”

  Jia Lingwei couldn’t help but stare at Ning Cheng in shock. She couldn’t help but ask her master, “Master, is Senior Apprentice Brother Ning’s strength even higher than yours?”

  After speaking this sentence, even Jia Lingwei herself was not able to believe it. The first time she had met Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng only had the cultivation of Essence Building Realm. How long has it been since then? How could even her master not compare to him? The numbers of geniuses in the Le Continent were as numerous as the hairs on an Ox; however, she had never seen or even heard of any cultivator who was able to progress as fast as Ning Cheng’s was. If one even considered Luo Banyun and Bei Xingjin of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, even their cultivation speed combined was undoubtedly inferior to Ning Cheng’s cultivation speed.

  Ning Cheng quickly spoke up, “Junior Apprentice Sister Lingwei. It looks like Senior sure is modest. I only possess the cultivation of Soul Sculpting Realm. I am still far below such respect from your teacher. Today, I would really like to convey my thanks to you two, who actually come out to lend a helping hand.”

  Although his cultivation was higher than Jia Lingwei was, whether or not Jia Lingwei wanted to insist on addressing him as Senior Apprentice Brother, he also did not insist on it.

  Jia Lingwei sucked in a breath of air, as she recalled as to why she had decided to come out. She gave a self-ridiculing smile and spoke, “What did I even help with? If I had not seen you face to face, then I would have not believed you to be Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. The change in you is really too huge. I did not expect that in just a short ten years, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning would shoot past me by such a huge margin.”

  She could see that Ning Cheng’s looks had changed somewhat, but Jia Lingwei did not find it too strange. However, she did not think that Ning Cheng had altered his appearance to avoid his enemies. Cultivators recognised people not by their looks, but by their Aura and Spiritual Consciousness Fluctuations.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, do you still remember Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji?” Jia Lingwei subconsciously looked at Ning Ruolan standing behind Ning Cheng. Once Yan Ji was able to restore her mind sometime in the past, she immediately stood up and spoke in favour of Ning Cheng. She said that the arrest warrant issued in the name of Ning Cheng was complete nonsense, because of which Jia Lingwei thought that there were some relations between Ning Cheng and Yan Ji. If that was the case, then why was there such a beautiful girl next to Ning Cheng? Moreover, her cultivation was also quite poor, only at Qi Gathering 5th Level.

  Ning Cheng on noticing Jia Lingwei looking at Ning Ruolan, immediately spoke up, “Of course I remember Yan Ji, is she okay now? Right, this little sister Ning Ruolan. Ruolan, these two people are Senior Na Xinlan and Senior Apprentice Sister Jia Lingwei of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy.”

  Jia Lingwei suddenly sobered up and felt embarrassed at the same time,

  so she turned out to be Ning Cheng’s little sister.

  “Ning Cheng, are you going to the Dragon and Phoenix Academy?” Na Xinlan spoke out by her own initiative. She could see that since Ning Cheng’s cultivation had progressed so fast, therefore Ning Cheng was definitely not ordinary. If he did not have a secret of his own, then his qualifications truly were heaven-defying, either that or he managed to receive an inheritance. Because Ning Cheng and her disciple Jia Lingwei seemed to be on somewhat familiar terms, so she also wanted to create some ties with Ning Cheng. At the very least, she should not offend such a person like Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng had already wanted to ask about Elder Sister Shu’s matter, now that Na Xinlan had personally requested, he also quickly spoke up, “When I returned to the Dragon and Phoenix City the last time, I found that there was an arrest warrant issued for both Lan Shu and me. I wanted to find out is Elder Sister Lan Shu returned to the Dragon and Phoenix Academy? If not, then going there is meaningless to me.”

  Na Xinlan also gave a slight nod, “After the arrest warrant made its appearance, Lan Shu had not appeared. Her residence has also not been touched at all. My Dragon and Phoenix Academy also does not fear the Gui Yuan City or the Thoughtless Academy. If you do not have anything special to do right now, then we can go back to my immortal cave to sit down and have a chat. Maybe I would be able to provide you with some news that you might need.”

  [TL Note: I am changing Wu Nian Academy to Thoughtless Academy from here on out.]

  Ning Cheng immediately recalled that the Gui Clan and the Thoughtless Academy had jointly plotted against him, so he spoke out, “Then I’ll have to disturb Senior.”

  ……

  Na Xinlan, as a cultivator at the 1st Level of Sea Opening Realm, had a particular status within the Dragon and Phoenix Academy. Ning Cheng could make out from her residence that not only did it contain a richer Spiritual Qi, but also had an independent Spiritual Medicine Mountain. The entire area of her house was ten times more beautiful than where Elder Sister Lan Shu used to live.

  Although Ning Ruolan was Ning Cheng’s little sister, Ning Ruolan did not look much younger to him in age but was only at Qi Gathering 5th Level. However, Na Xinlan did not care about it. Of course, she did not know that Ning Ruolan had just been cultivating for around 2-3 months.

  After Jia Lingwei served them some Spiritual Tea, she quietly sat down next to her master.

  Na Xinlan also did not beat around the bush, before she directly asked, “Ning Cheng, Nalan Ruxue had made a claim in the past that you forced her into having a physical relationship with you, is this matter true or false?”

  As Na Xinlan asked, she carefully observed Ning Cheng, if Ning Cheng found this line of questioning to be a taboo, then she would immediately change to a different topic.

  Ning Cheng also did not care about the direct question from Na Xinlan; he just showed a faint smile and spoke, “Senior Na, although Nalan Ruxue thinks of herself as nobler than anyone else, I do not have any feelings for her in my heart. Although this Ning Cheng’s cultivation might not be comparable to the noble disciples that come out from these large academies and sects; however, I have my own feelings and sentiments. I will put this out bluntly, I hope that Senior Na would not take it to heart, even if that Nalan Ruxue willingly stripped herself naked and laid down in front of me, I would be too lazy to even get on top of her, so why would I even force myself on her?”

  Ning Cheng’s words were utterly uncouth and blunt to the point; it was no different from directly cursing at Nalan Ruxue. Even knowing that he might have already died in the Law’s Way, this woman had still not forgotten to use him, saying that he had forced himself onto her.

  Nalan Ruxue just did not care about her life-saving grace, if Ning Cheng had any kind of favourable impressions of her, and then it indeed would have been strange.

  “Big Brother….” Ning Ruolan whispered a reminder to Ning Cheng; even she thought that her big brother’s words were quite harsh and uncouth. She was afraid that once these words leaked out, it would only bring demerits for her Big Brother. />
  Jia Lingwei’s complexion also turned slightly red. She was someone who was always reserved, so when she heard Ning Cheng’s blunt words, even she was not able to bear it. In her heart, she already knew that Ning Cheng could never do anything like forcing himself on Nalan Ruxue.

  Na Xinlan smiled, she did not think Ning Cheng’s words were grating to the ears. Instead, she spoke with a smile, “Lingwei had already told me about it that you are someone who would never do such a thing. I think that Nalan Ruxue should really thank you, if you hadn’t killed Gui Yuhai, she might have already married into the Gui Clan. However, that Gui Yuhai is Gui Clan’s most important disciple, I’m afraid that Gui Zong would not give up on you that easily. Gui Zong already possesses the cultivation of Crucible Transformation 3rd Level so you will have to be careful.”

  After saying that, Na Xinlan still kept looking at Ning Cheng. As long as Ning Cheng feared the Gui Clan, then she had the confidence to win over Ning Cheng.

  Unfortunately, such fruits would never fall in Na Xinlan’s lap, Ning Cheng just gave a smile and spoke, “Even if I did not have any grudge with Gui Yuhai, I would have still killed him. As for the Gui Clan, they are also the same.”

  His wife was already a Crucible Transformation Cultivator, and they had even worked together and killed a Crucible Transformation 7th Level Cultivator, so why would he fear a mere Gui Clan? What’s more, he also had a way to get the Dragon and Phoenix Academy to help him deal with the Gui Clan, unless he misread Na Xinlan.

  Listening to Ning Cheng say that he would have still killed Gui Yuhai even if there were no enmity existing between Ning Cheng and Gui Yuhai, and hearing an underlying contempt for the Gui Clan in Ning Cheng’s words, she quickly asked, “Why is that?”

  Ning Cheng did not speak, he merely waved his hand, and several cornelian red jade boxes appeared in front of them, “Senior Na, this is what I found in Gui Yuhai’s ring after I killed him. Senior Na seems to be someone well-informed, so you should know about this better than me.”

  Na Xinlan did not know what Ning Cheng meant by taking out those jade boxes. Therefore, she quietly opened one of the jade boxes in doubt, finding that it was a box filled with undergarments.

  Jia Lingwei’s complexion turned even redder, while she gave out a faint sigh in her heart, she seemed to be seeing Ning Cheng in a brand new light. At the same time, she did not know what was going on in Ning Cheng’s mind to bring out a box full of women’s undergarments in front of her master.

  The first feeling that emerged when Na Xinlan on glancing those undergarments was anger, but then her face immediately changed. She then quickly grabbed one of the undergarments from the box and stared at it for quite a while.

  Jia Lingwei instantly understood that something was definitely wrong. Her master had always been modest and traditional; as such, it was utterly inconceivable and impossible that she would intently scrutinise and even study an undergarment in front of a male cultivator like Senior Apprentice Brother Ning.

  “To go as far as to locking the soul to draw out hope, it truly is malicious…..” Although Na Xinlan’s face did not change colour, her hands were trembling with anger. In just a moment, she opened the remaining boxes.

  Suddenly she grabbed a pink undergarment from one of the boxes, as her eyes immediately turned red, “I’ve always searched all around for Man’er, but never had I thought that she was unexpectedly harmed by the Gui Clan…..”

  “Master, Senior Apprentice Sister Man…..” Jia Lingwei also instantly understood what the matter was as she stood up in shock.

  Na Xinlan’s face turned gloomy, she took the few boxes from Ning Cheng and spoke, “Ning Cheng, Thank you. I’m going to meet with the Dean immediately. Lingwei, you accompany Ning Cheng. I have something important to take care.”

  “En, I know master.” As Jia Lingwei finished, Na Xinlan had already disappeared from the room.

  “Junior Apprentice Sister Lingwei, what is this ‘locking the soul to draw out hope’?” After Na Xinlan left, Ning Cheng quickly asked. He had abruptly arrived in this world; moreover, he did not have any master to learn from, as such, there were many things that he did not understand. Although his cultivation was higher than Jia Lingwei’s was, he knew that he might not know more about a few things compared to Jia Lingwei.

  Jia Lingwei’s eyes also turned red as she shook her head and spoke, “I also do not know about it, but from Master’s tone and expression, Senior Apprentice Sister Man was possibly killed by Gui Yuhai.”

  “What about Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji, is she okay?” Seeing Jia Lingwei almost on the verge of crying with something related to this Senior Apprentice Sister Man, Ning Cheng quickly changed his words and once again asked about Yan Ji. He still was a bit concerned about Yan Ji. When it came to the Le Continent’s Twin Lotus Flowers on One Stock, Ning Cheng cared a lot more about Yan Ji compared to Nalan Ruxue. He had always thought that Nalan Ruxue did not deserve the same reputation as Yan Ji.

  Jia Lingwei sobered up and collected her thoughts about her Senior Apprentice Sister Man, before quickly speaking up, “Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Ning does not know about a lot of things. The Transmission Array between the Le Continent and Tian Continent opened up a few years ago. From the Ping Continent to the Le Continent, collecting all the geniuses from the nine continents, they were all then led to the Tian Continent through the Transmission Array. Yan Ji, Nalan Ruxue, Gui Yutang, Gui Yuhua, Jui Tian, Dei Xingjin, Cheng Yixiao, Luo Banyun, and several dozen others have already gone to the Tian Continent.”

  “So it was originally because of this, Junior Apprentice Sister Lingwei, you should be able to go to the Tian Continent with your qualifications, right?” Ning Cheng suddenly came to an understanding.

  “My master said that my strength is still insufficient, so only after I advance to the Soul Essence Realm, would I be able to go there.” Jia Lingwei replied.

  Ning Cheng gave the nod, Jia Lingwei currently was at the Great Circle of the Profound Core Realm, and so it was only a matter of time before she advanced to the Soul Essence Realm.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, bringing your little sister around might not be convenient for you; if you want, you can let her join my Dragon and Phoenix Academy.” Jia Lingwei knew her master’s intentions; i.e. she should want to befriend Ning Cheng.

  If it were an ordinary person, presented with an opportunity to join a 9 Star Academy, they would definitely be happy to the point of not being able to sleep at all. However, Ning Cheng did not care at all about it. He anyway was not going to settle down in the Le Continent. If he did not plan to settle down in the Le Continent, then why would he place his little sister here?

  “Many thanks, Junior Apprentice Sister Lingwei, but I have to take away Ruolan to accomplish a few things of my own.” Ning Cheng offered his thanks while simultaneously rejecting the offer.

  Jia Lingwei on seeing that Ning Cheng had not agreed also did not say much about it and instead talked about Yan Ji, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, after Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji recovered, her cultivation speed soared to new heights. Somehow, even her qualifications had improved by a huge margin. The Blue Cloud Academy also started regarding her as their premier genius in training and attached huge importance to Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji. Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji was even able to force the Blue Cloud Academy to withdraw the arrest warrant for you and Master Shu; moreover, stood by you fiercely. Afterwards, in just a few years, Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji progressed to the Soul Essence Realm. I’m afraid that at this time Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji might have already advanced to the Soul Sculpting Realm in her cultivation.”

  As Jia Lingwei
finished, she attentively looked at Ning Cheng’s expression. She also wanted to know if Ning Cheng was the reason why Yan Ji’s had such a massive change in her qualifications. She knew that after Yan Ji came out of the Law’s Way, her qualifications and comprehension abilities had grown to a considerable level. At the same time, she also knew that inside the Law’s Way, Yan Ji was mostly in contact with Ning Cheng. Maybe Ning Cheng might have helped her.

  Ning Cheng felt very grateful in his heart towards Yan Ji. He had already guessed that Yan Ji’s fast progress might have a relation to his Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. However, he would not speak about these matters to Jia Lingwei.

  Ning Cheng also was able to come up to date with the current matters after talking with Jia Lingwei; getting to know that another Crucible Transformation Cultivator had emerged in the Gui Clan a few years ago. Not only that, the Gui Clan and the Nine Continents Army seemed to be very close. According to Jia Lingwei’s words, Gui Clan had approached the Nine Continent’s Army after Ning Cheng had disappeared into the Yi Xing Ocean.

  Hearing these things, Ning Cheng knew that even if Na Xinlan was dissatisfied with Gui Yuhai’s actions, the Dragon and Phoenix Academy can at most show their disgust towards the Gui Clan, but cannot move to destroy the Gui Clan. If he wanted to exterminate the Gui Clan, then it looks like he would have to wait for a future date.

  For Na Xinlan to go impulsively look for the Dean, maybe it had something to do with the words ‘Man’er’ that came out of her mouth.

  Just as Ning Cheng was mulling over it, Na Xinlan returned to her residence once again.

  “Master….” Jia Lingwei on seeing her master return immediately stood up and called out to her in expectation.

  However, Na Xinlan’s complexion was somewhat gloomy; she beckoned Jia Lingwei with her hand, before speaking to Ning Cheng, “Ning Cheng, the Gui Clan is currently too powerful. I’m afraid that even with these boxes of undergarments; it would be difficult to unite the rest of the forces to fight against the Gui Clan. However, I still thank you for helping my disciple to get revenge. Because the Thoughtless Academy and the Gui Clan are associated to each other quite closely, my Dragon and Phoenix Academy might not be able to unite the rest of the people……”
