Chapter 388.2
Ning Fan’s mouth curved into a smile .
If it’s really related to a blood dragon, I wonder if I can get additional benefits since I have the Blood Dragon Demon Sword .
Along the journey, they were served with spiritual tea and fruits . A small group of revered elders of the Serene Heaven Palace were having a cheerful conversation with Ning Fan . In the past, he had to be extra cautious when he was dealing with Revered Snow who was an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator . Now, he had already reached a level where Divine Transformation Realm revered elders had to treat him equally . It was indeed unimaginable .
However, while they were having fun and were immersed in their conversation, a light snort which was slightly disharmonious interrupted the joyful atmosphere .
“Hmph! Revered Ming has really good means . In the Endless Sea, Revered Ming has a prestigious and dignified status among the devil cultivators . On top of that, you can also easily and fluently talk with the righteous cultivators of our Rain Palace . You really have your bread buttered on both sides… I wonder if Revered Ming has ever heard of this saying? In this world, everyone has someone who favors them or hates them . Those who gain the liking of others are not necessarily good while those who are detested by others are not necessarily bad . However, those who are able to make both good and bad people like them, they must be… a cunning individual!”
To everyone’s surprise, the person who voiced this out was a young lady with a sharp and beautiful appearance . This lady’s hair was tied in a ponytail . She did not wear robes with delicate embroideries but a set of silver armor which made her look like a female general . Despite her military outfit, her petite and curvaceous body could not hide her natural beauty .
This young lady had an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base . Moreover, she had just attained that cultivation realm not long ago . Emanating a heroic spirit, she slightly raised one of her eyebrows while glancing sideways at Ning Fan . Her attitude towards him was rather contemptuous .
She actually dared to call Ning Fan a cunning person…
“Chong’er, mind your manners!” Yu Bai glared at the young lady and immediately cupped his fists at Ning Fan to apologize . His face was filled with awkwardness . Then, he continued speaking .
“This young lady is my younger sister, Yu Chong’er . She has always been training in the Yu Family and does not know about rules and common courtesy . Even though her words are offensive to Revered Ming, she certainly harbors no evil intentions . Please calm your anger, Revered Ming . ”
Yu Bai was smiling bitterly and helplessly . Even if Ning Fan really was a cunning individual, he would never be bold enough to call him that in public . After all, Ning Fan was a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator . One could decide not to befriend him, but one must never make him an enemy .
Besides, after exchanging a few words with Ning Fan, Yu Bai was already awed by him . He did not think of him as a cunning person at all . Naturally, he was extremely displeased by Yu Chong’er’s impertinent remarks about Ning Fan . In fact, he was very afraid that Ning Fan would be enraged after hearing her offensive words .
Ning Fan’s gaze casually moved towards Yu Chong’er . He then smiled and shook his head .
“Never mind . Your younger sister is frank and honest . It’s hard to find a young lady like her . As long as she spoke those words without harboring any ill intentions, I will never bother about it even if it was unpleasant to hear . Treat it as me giving Fellow Daoist Yu some face . ”
“Hehe . Fellow Daoist Zhou, thank you for being magnanimous . Chong’er, why don’t you quickly come over here and apologize to Revered Ming?” Yu Bai’s eyes turned serious as soon as he looked at Yu Chong’er . He really had the air of an elder brother .
“Hmph! Who is going to apologize to him?! All of you are afraid of him and that’s why you won’t dare to talk bad about him . I, Yu Chong’er, am not scared of him . Do you know who my master is? He is Yun Qingge who is one of the four greatest Void Fragmentation Realm experts . I am not afraid of any pervert or devil cultivator!”
The little lady gave Ning Fan an angry stare . Well, how could she be wrong? Ning Fan was undoubtedly an evil person .
The little lady did not have exceptional talent in other areas but she was born with a keen sense towards baleful qi . She could clearly sense the shocking amount of baleful qi within Ning Fan’s body . Only those who had slaughtered hundreds of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators would have such a tremendous amount of baleful qi .
Yu Chong’er knew that Ning Fan must be a brutal and merciless devil lord . Thus, she concluded that the amiable character he had now was just a facade . He must be an extremely dangerous man!
Despite originally being a devil cultivator, he insisted on joining the Rain Palace to wash himself clean and become a righteous cultivator . If this wasn’t a cunning move, then what was?
Ever since Yu Chong’er was born in the Yu Family, she was treasured by her family members like a precious pearl . Furthermore, she was pampered by a Void Fragmentation Realm expert and was kept as a disciple . As such, it made her slightly proud and arrogant than the rest .
Fortunately, her character was quite pure and kind . She usually has a strong sense of justice and was always ready to help the weak . She was not like the other cultivators of the righteous path who are only good at talking but do not walk the talk .
Therefore, it was normal for a lady with a strong sense of justice like her to not like Ning Fan who was a notorious devil lord .
She did not know how to hide her feelings . If she doesn't like something, she would not hold herself back from expressing her feelings . However, she did not expect that her own brother would not side with her at all after she spoke the truth, but helped Ning Fan instead . It really infuriated her .
“You can continue to act in this manner . Regardless, I, Yu Chong’er, will never be cheated by you . ” Yu Chong’er expressed her dissatisfaction towards Ning Fan through telepathy .
“…” Ning Fan directly ignored her . With Ning Fan’s personality, he was too lazy to even argue with a little lady like this .
Precisely . His easy going nature indeed had the element of being a facade . If he were to show his original self, perhaps he would be as cold as ice to this group of unfamiliar cultivators .
However, a person who wears a facade was not necessarily evil most of the time . It was just what life forced them to do . Everyone had a mask with them . Be it righteous cultivators or devil cultivators, it’s up to them to decide whether to put on their masks or reveal their true selves .
Ning Fan was not a good man . However, he had no grudges against the Serene Heaven Palace . Besides, Chu Chang’an had even given him three bottles of dragon blood which were considered as a grand gift . Thus, he had a good impression of the Serene Heaven Palace instead of having grudges .
When he faces his enemies, he would eliminate them without mercy .
When it comes to his friends, even if they slightly mock him, he would turn a blind eye to it .
All the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the pavilion were people with discerning eyes . How could they not notice that Yu Chong’er was communicating with Ning Fan telepathically . Additionally, judging from the shape of her mouth while speaking, most of them knew that she probably did not say anything good to him . In all likelihood, she was probably saying sarcastic remarks towards Ning Fan again .
However, Ning Fan did not even talk back at her . Neither did he dart a single glance at her . His demeanor and magnanimity made the revered elders there admire him even more .
“Hai . Seeing for oneself is truly a hundred times better than hearing from others… It is very rare to find someone in the Rain Palace who has such a strong tolerance like Revered Ming . My younger sister is still immature and ignorant . Even though she insolently spoke to Revered Ming, Revered Ming still put up with her . I really feel apologetic to you… Revered Ming, please accept me as a gift . ”
Yu Bai clenched his teeth . A part of him was feeling guilty and ashamed of himself whereas another part of him was unwilling to offend Ning Fan . After pondering for a while, he took out an exquisite jade box from his storage pouch and handed it to Ning Fan .
When he opened the jade box slightly, a whiff of medicinal fragrance that would only be given out by a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb filled the air . All the revered elders in the pavilion were surprised and their eyes were filled with zeal .
“It’s a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine! It can’t be wrong . Could it be the…”
Yu Bai’s facial muscles tightened . A second later, he heaved a sigh as if he had let go of the burden on his mind . His expression turned calm and reached out his hands to pass the jade box to Ning Fan . With an apologetic tone, he said .
“This is a tuft of the Red Chamber Zoysia . It has been verified by a Fifth Revolution Pill Master that its age is thirteen thousand and four hundred years old . If one consumes it, it can prolong their life by two hundred years . Now, I will give it to Brother Zhou as a gift . ”
“Red Chamber Zoysia?” Ning Fan was inwardly astonished . This was a miraculous medicine that could prolong the life of a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator . One could only consume a tuft in his entire life and a single tuft could extend his lifespan by two hundred years . If it were to be sold in a marketplace, it could be auctioned up to one hundred million immortal jade .
To Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, no, to anyone, having an extra two hundred years of life was extremely precious .
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed .
Since Yu Bai is willing to give me this item as a gift, he is sincerely trying to befriend me .
Of all the thirteen Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the pavilion, only Yu Bai stood up to welcome him . Thus, Ning Fan had a favorable impression of him .
He was not lacking in spiritual medicines that could extend his lifespan, but he had to keep this spiritual herb from Yu Bai . Once he keeps it, it would mean that the both of them have established a friendly relationship .
