The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Wan Cheng shook his head and quickly replied, “That’s not it. Sect Master Ning has a good reputation. In the past, he rescued more than a hundred Core and True Inheriting Disciples of the major factions. However, he is also a revengeful person. That year, the Yin Yang Dao Sect had forcefully taken away the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Perception Pagoda, and now the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Sect Master Ning suddenly came back. This definitely would entail a good show.”

  “As for Meng Yujing, I don’t think there would be any problems. She and Sect Master Ning, both are from the Le Continent. For Sect Master Ning to look for her, maybe he wants to invite Yujing to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. We don’t have to worry about it.”

  ……

  Wan Cheng had not spoken incorrectly; this young male cultivator with a pale complexion was none other than Ning Cheng. He remained trapped within the encirclement of the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan at the edges of the Void Domain Boundary for decades, yet managed to escape with just a pale complexion. Compared to the state of Mu Ziming and Xiao Bisheng, it was innumerable times better.

  Ning Cheng’s airship stopped in the air, Meng Yujing stood in front of Ning Cheng before speaking up in neither arrogant nor servile manner, “Don’t know for what matter has Sect Master Ning come looking for me?”

  She knew that back in the Hua Continent, Ning Cheng was the one who had tracked her. Moreover, she also knew that Ning Cheng thought very poorly of her. As for what reason, Yujing simply had no idea about it. When she knew that Ning Cheng was the one who tracked her, and had even peeped in on her private secret, her heart had involuntarily given birth to the idea of killing and getting rid of Ning Cheng.

  “You just take me to Kang Cheng.” Ning Cheng indeed had a poor impression of Meng Jingxiu. In Ning Cheng’s eyes, other than looking pretty, she did not have any other merit.

  Meng Yujing stood there in stunned silence, before she spoke up in a quivering voice, “Sect Master Ning, can you see Kang Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness Restriction on my body?”

  Others never knew that she was under Kang Cheng’s bondage, yet Ning Cheng had suddenly shown up to inquire about Kang Cheng’s whereabouts. Apparently, it must have been because of Ning Cheng perceiving the Spiritual Consciousness Restriction placed on her body by Kang Cheng.

  “That’s right; I did feel Kang Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness Restriction on you; so I’m going to look for him to settle some accounts.” Ning Cheng nodded and quietly spoke up.

  Meng Yujing’s heart suddenly felt like it was going through a storm. Kang Cheng was currently an early stage Sea Opening Cultivator. Even Crucible Transformation Cultivators, when they scanned her, could not perceive the Spiritual Consciousness Restriction placed by Kang Cheng, yet Ning Cheng could immediately discern it with a single casual glance. At the same time, he even realised that it was Kang Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness Restriction.

  What kind of terrifying cultivation was this? What scary Spiritual Consciousness did he possess?

  “I never thought that this person would actually be a Sea Opening Cultivator.” Ning Cheng showed a cold smile. By the looks of it, after Kang Cheng arrived at the Tian Continent, his cultivation speed soared quite fast.

  Meng Yujing’s heart calmed down a bit. She knew very well that even though Kang Cheng’s qualifications were inferior to her own, but that person found a backer to rely on, at the same time had his own secrets. All these factors allowed him to have a far greater cultivation speed when compared to others. As for her, she could only struggle systematically in the Tian Continent, while under constant suppression from Kang Cheng.

  Originally, Meng Yujing wanted to ask Ning Cheng to help her remove the Spiritual Consciousness Restriction over her; however, just as those words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back down. Ning Cheng travelled from the Hua Continent to the Le Continent then made his way to the Tian Continent. Moreover, she had also heard many of Ning Cheng’s tales. Although she never made any contact with Ning Cheng, she somewhat understood what kind of a person Ning Cheng was.

  If she did not ask Ning Cheng’s help, perhaps Ning Cheng would take the initiative to help her after waiting for some time. If she sought out Ning Cheng’s help, then maybe Ning Cheng might despise her even more.

  At this point, Meng Yujing calmed down and gave Ning Cheng a deep bow, “Yes, I know where Kang Cheng is, and I am also willing to take Sect Master Ning to find Kang Cheng.”

  Ning Cheng had always felt prejudiced towards Meng Yujing; however, that did not mean Meng Yujing’s beauty had turned inferior because of Ning Cheng’s prejudices. When Meng Yujing gave that bow, snow-white skin and a deep gully immediately reflected in Ning Cheng’s eyes.

  God help me,

  Ning Cheng didn’t really want to peek at Meng Yujing’s assets. He even suspected that Meng Yujing had done this intentionally; otherwise, for a Soul Essence Cultivator, how could they now know that this kind of action would result in some indecent exposure?

  The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan had trapped Ning Cheng for a long time. Although, it might have helped him in cultivation, that did not mean that he cultivated in the ways of monks. Exposed to Meng Yujing’s assets made him immediately recollect his memories with Shi Qionghua, then he immediately thought of Ji Luofei waiting for him at the sect.

  This time, he definitely would go back and marry Ji Luofei, as Ning Cheng thought of such thoughts, his pale complexion showed a slight trace of ruddiness.

  Feeling Ning Cheng’s mood change, Meng Yujing’s tensed mood in front of Ning Cheng also started to suddenly relax. She knew why Ning Cheng went through such a change, which should have been because he saw her exposed cleavage. In fact, she had not done this on purpose. However, she did not feel awkward about it in her heart. This kind of matter felt nothing to her, mainly because of being a rogue cultivator. This also showed that although Ning Cheng might be mighty, he was ultimately like her, a person made of flesh and blood.

  “I know that Sect Master Ning has some views about me; however, Sect Master Ning and I are both from the Hua Continent. For the name of Sect Master Ning to grow and flourish to such an extent in the Tian Continent, we, the cultivators from the Hua Continent and the Le Continent, only feel pride within our hearts.” Meng Yujing hesitated before she looked at Ning Cheng and spoke a few words on her own initiative.

  She felt that there was not much resentment between herself and Ning Cheng. Besides, this situation only arose because Ning Cheng saw her making out with another male cultivator.

  Ning Cheng recovered his calm, took out two chairs, sat down on one of them before indicating Meng Yujing to sit on the other and spoke, “Since we are on the way to find Kang Cheng, I also wanted to ask you a question out of convenience. Years ago, I knew a person by the name of Kou Hong…..”

  Ning Cheng’s words had not yet finished when Meng Yujing, who had just sat down, stood up in shock. Even her complexion had turned pale, a lot paler than Ning Cheng’s own current appearance.

  Meng Yujing finally understood why Ning Cheng looked down on her; moreover, also had a terrible impression of her. Ning Cheng knew Kou Hong; that would mean he would even know about the fact that she was Kou Hong’s fiancée. Moreover, with her being Kou Hong’s fiancée, she still chose to rendezvous with another man. If Ning Cheng did not look down on her, then it honestly would have been a strange event.

  Ning Cheng looked at Meng Yujing’s expression and realised that it might be hard for her to reply. Thinking that he did not have a significant relationship with this kind of matter, he beckoned her with his hand and spoke, “You do not need to give me an answer for it. Just take me to Kong Cheng, and it will all be good. After I find Kang Cheng, I will help you
remove the Spiritual Consciousness Restriction, just take what you need.”

  Meng Yujing regained her calm, before once again sitting down and speaking, “My Meng Clan, in the past, was the premier clan within the Yi Xing Mainland. According to the legends handed down by the ancestors of my Meng Clan, our clan had originated from across the Planar Boundary, from a different part of the universe. After my Meng Clan’s ancestors died off, our Meng Clan started to decline, countless years later, the Cultivation Method retained by the direct line of the Meng Clan was the only that remained.”

  “Several hundred years ago, the Meng Clan suffered a sneak attack once again. My great grandfather Meng Qianxing took the Meng Clan’s Cultivation Method and escaped. Unfortunately, two people intercepted him. The Meng Clan’s Cultivation Method, in the hands of my great-grandfather, also ended up robbed. At the same time, he suffered severe injuries before ultimately falling into a river. Fortunately, the heavens showed pity over our Meng Clan, as someone rescued my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather, to not let the Meng Clan be lost in the annals of time, set down a rule within the Meng Clan. Regardless of their new-borns being male or female, all of them must take up the surname Meng. This way, there would at least be a trace of Meng Clan’s bloodline that would be passed down from one generation to another.”

  Ning Cheng did not interrupt Meng Yujing’s narration; he guessed that Meng Yujing wouldn’t have spoken about this kind of matter without thinking it through.

  “Of the two people who tried to deal with my Meng Clan, one of them had the surname Qu, while the other had the surname Kou. Of the Meng Clan’s Cultivation Method that they obtained, the two of them each took a half of it. As many years passed by, the two families had long since forgotten about how they obtained their respective cultivations methods. However, no matter if they forgot about it, the surviving people from the Meng Clan could not.”

  When Meng Yujing spoke about this, Ning Cheng finally vaguely understood something. It seems that this matter has a bit of dog’s blood mixed in it. At this moment, he also felt a slight bit of regret in nosing into other people’s business.

  Meng Yujing continued on, “By the time I was born, the Meng Clan had already declined to the edge of being just an ordinary mortal clan. Even the thought of cultivation felt like an extravagant hope for us. However, my father felt that I had a pretty appearance, combined with me possessing some suitable qualifications, my father went all out to help me cultivate before I finally managed to catch the eye of the Falling Star Academy.”

  “Later, my father deliberately approached the Qu Clan’s Qu Nanxi. After hearing that I joined the Falling Star Academy, Qu Nanxi immediately set his thoughts on me and expressed his wish towards the engagement between Qu Clan’s Eldest Son Qu Ping and me. My father also gave his full blessings to it. After returning, father confessed to me that he did it in hopes that I could obtain the Meng Clan’s Cultivation Method from the hands of Qu Ping.”

  “However, this was not the end of it. After my father allowed the betrothal between Qu Ping and me, he secretly made contact with Kou Clan’s Kou Ruisi, once again set up an engagement between Kou Hong and me. He again urged me that I had to obtain the other part of the Meng Clan’s Cultivation Method from the hands of the Kou Clan’s Kou Hong…..”

  Ning Cheng stared at Meng Yujing in a dumbfounded manner.

  How could such a father exist?

  Willingly betrothing his daughter to two men, with the purpose also not being pure, even being speechless felt too high of evaluation for such a father. Moreover, this Meng Yujing turned out to actually be this obedient, to unexpectedly agree to such an arrangement by her own father.

  “The last time, when you followed me, I was with Qu Ping. I also managed to obtain the part of Meng Clan’s Cultivation Method in his possession during that moment. Originally, I wanted to kill him once and for all; however, I didn’t expect that someone else would kill him for me.” Meng Yujing’s tone became more and more insipid. After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to take out a half-sheet of the leather roll.

  An incomparably ancient smell arose from this leather sheet. Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness casually swept over the leather sheet and found that it indeed contained a part of an extraordinary cultivation method.

  However, he did not care about this leather sheet. He also couldn’t help but think that this woman, Meng Yujing, turned out to be quite ruthless to actually declare that she wanted to kill her fiancée, that too without even the slightest change in her expression.

  “You had a certain amount of reputation within the Falling Star Academy. For you to be betrothed to two different people, weren’t you worried that it would spread out?” Ning Cheng asked in some doubt.

  Meng Yujing’s face seemed to have gone numb to expressions as she replied, “The betrothal between Kou Hong and me was orchestrated by my father; as such, to get the approval of the Qu Clan, me and Qu Ping ended up betrothed to each other in secret. While the betrothal between Kou Hong and me remained in public view.”

  Ning Cheng did not continue to enquire anymore. He also did not ask why the Qu Clan would agree to such a disgusting matter. From the looks of it, the Qu Clan wanted to use Meng Yujing to obtain the Meng Clan’s cultivation method in the Kou Clan’s possession. It was no wonder that Meng Yujing would choose to conceal her face when she and Qu Ping wanted to rendezvous with each other.

  Thinking of this, Ning Cheng subconsciously looked at Meng Yujing’s chest. Meng Yujing’s chest was indeed something any woman would be proud to own; however, he couldn’t help but think that this sacred place for a woman, traced by Qu Ping today, while Kou Hong feeling it up tomorrow, would cause anyone to feel a bit turned off.

  Ning Cheng himself had seen Qu Ping’s hand caressing it, and if it hadn’t been for the white-haired old woman pulling him away, perhaps he might have seen more.

  As if perceiving Ning Cheng’s eyes, Meng Yujing’s complexion once again whitened up. She did not continue with her words.

  Ning Cheng shook his head secretly and took out a package before placing it in front of Meng Yujing. “This is what Kou Hong had asked me to bring to you. It might be of some use to you.”

  His Spiritual Consciousness had already swept into the black wooden box once before and knew that it contained half a leather sheet inside it. It should be the other half of the leather sheet in Meng Yujing’s possession. As for the storage bag, it only contained some garbage pills, several Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and a High-Grade Magical Artefact.

  Meng Yujing on seeing Ning Cheng take out something, couldn’t help but feel her hand tremble. She opened the parcel in front of Ning Cheng. In her view, Ning Cheng must have already looked at the things inside.

  The parcel contained an envelope, a black wooden box, and a storage bag.

  Instead of opening the wooden box, Meng Yujing ripped open the envelope, containing a letter inside along with another sealed letter.

  After reading the contents of the open letter, Meng Yujing placed the letter in front of Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng swept his gaze over it. The content inside was straightforward: “Junior Apprentice Sister Jing, someone plotted against the Kou Clan. If you get the chance to read this letter, it would mean that I am already dead. I left all of my belongings in the storage bag along with a leather scroll kept inside the wooden box for you. You must take good care of your cultivation. Do not rush to take revenge for me. The enemy of the Kou Clan is terrifying. There is also a sealed letter inside the envelope; I hope that you can bring this letter to my younger brother Xiuyuan……”

  What Ning Cheng had not thought of was that Meng Yujing even ripped open the sealed envelope for Kou Xiuyuan.

  This time, the envelope did not contain any letters, only a fragile piece of jade. The jade piece included a row of small characters imprinted over its top, Kou Clan’s Secret Narrative. Other than this, it did not hold anything else.

  Meng Yujing looked at Ning
Cheng, she was familiar with this kind of jade piece. This was a Blood Drop Phrase Letter. Moreover, only by possessing the blood drops of the Kou Clan could one see the contents inside. With Meng Yujing’s ability, she still could not break the blood seal on this jade.

  Ning Cheng made a few gestures with his hands to derive the Dao Laws, the Blood Drop Phrase Letter burst into a red light, and Kou Hong’s voice rang out, “Xiuyuan, remember what I said. The Kou Clan’s complete cultivation method, both the halves, is on Meng Yujing’s body. Meng Yujing swindled the Kou Clan out of its cultivation method. Once you get this news, immediately find a way to kill Meng Yujing and retrieve the Kou Clan’s complete cultivation method. This woman is so cheap that you must not believe anything she says. Your big brother, Kou Hong.”

  After the sound from the jade piece disappeared, it immediately turned into fly ash.

  Ning Cheng shook his head. He could not comment on such kind of things. In any case, it was an easy guess that the Meng Clan, the Kou Clan, and the Qu Clan were all scheming against one another before the Meng Clan finally came up on top.

  Meng Yujing’s face had a calm expression and seemed completely unaffected. She opened the wooden box and took out the leather sheet inside it. She then put the two leather sheets together, immediately forming a complete leather scroll.

  Meng Yujing picked up this complete cultivation method, then suddenly kneeled down in front of Ning Cheng, “Sect Master Ning, many thanks to you for helping me retrieve the Meng Clan’s cultivation method. I would like to dedicate this cultivation method to Sect Master Ning.”

  Ning Cheng on seeing Meng Yujing kneeling in front of him gave a sneer before speaking, “Meng Yujing, you should sit up and talk. Moreover, do not play any tricks before me; I am not Qu Ping or Kou Hong. To you, your Meng Clan’s cultivation method might be a treasure; however, it is still not enough to put it in my eyes. I have no plans of snatching it away from you. Now that you succeeded in obtaining what you were looking for, you better hurry up and lead me to find Kang Cheng.”
