Chapter 1222 We're running for our lives!
“Those guys are good at deceiving themselves. You hid in the East Pole Valley, and they couldn’t find you no matter what. They were afraid of losing face, and not many of them really cared about avenging the Northern King, so they staged their own drama, saying that they had already killed the murderer.”
"Those two who fled are said to be surrounded as well, so there's no way they could escape. Now that you, the real culprit, have come forward, if they confess, wouldn't that just prove that their previous killing of the murderer was a joke?"
"The Shadow Clan has shot themselves in the foot this time."
Ning Ruan: "..."
Is there such a good thing?
However, she added, "What if the Shadow Clan says that I hired those people to do it?"
After all, she did hire someone.
They just didn't hire the murderer the Shadow Clan claimed was killed...
Vice Dean Yang snorted again, "You can rest assured about that. No normal person would think of that."
Ning Ruan dares to do it, and even the Shadow Clan dares not guess.
At most, they suspect that Ning Ruan, the human race, or some other force were involved in the operation.
As for what role Ningsoft played in this,
Who would have thought she was the head of the staff?
“But the human race…” Ning Ruan said, “He will not admit to having anything to do with me, but he will still target the human race.”
The old dean chuckled, "It's good that you care about the human race, but the human race is not as weak as you think."
"You probably already realized it yourself, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have revealed that you're Ning Ruan on the passenger ship, would you?"
"..."
Ning Ruan dared to expose his identity so brazenly.
We have indeed considered this; the human race is hiding their true intentions quite well.
And recently, it seems there's been a growing idea to stop hiding it altogether.
Furthermore, since she left the human race directly, the Shadow Clan will not rashly attack the human race no matter what.
But now it seems that whether she leaves or not is no longer important.
Humans are not afraid at all.
The conversation did not last long.
It ended amidst Vice President Yang's angry outburst.
As for what to say?
Of course, it's about the fact that she still isn't coming back.
The insults were extremely harsh.
So much so that the last word transmitted from the other end of the talisman was always 'get lost'.
Ning Ruan wasn't angry.
Some people agree to her causing trouble outside because they know she can survive.
Vice Dean Yang urged her to go back because he was afraid she might not survive.
Crimson Heaven Sect, Azure Cloud Academy...
They are all good.
I thought about it.
Ning Ruan reactivated the transmission talisman.
The target is still the former dean.
This time, however, it won't be an online call.
It's just a one-way transmission of sound.
"Deans, why don't you gather a few dozen spirit fruits first? I want some delicious food. When I go back next time, you can redeem the Crimson Lotus Immortal Artifact?"
The message has just been sent.
The sound transmission talisman then became active.
Without a doubt, it was still Vice President Yang's roar:
"Where are you now? Come back right now! I'll come find you! What's the point of gathering just a few dozen spirit fruits? I can give them to you right now. Tell me your location, and we'll meet there!"
It's impossible for them to reunite.
Ning Ruan immediately put away the transmission talisman.
With my worries finally put to rest, I felt much better.
"Little Red, go for it!"
"Master, where are we going?"
"I don't know, but we're running for our lives right now. As long as we're fast enough, it doesn't matter where we go."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiaohong repeated it carefully.
The speed suddenly increased a few points.
Ning Ruan flew for nearly a day with her sword until she was certain that the Moon Goddess could no longer sense her exact location, and then she stopped.
He took out his luxurious imperial carriage.
Once inside the carriage, the first thing to do was to bury myself in food.
No matter when, you always have to eat.
Fortunately, she still had the pre-made dishes that Han Ze had prepared for her.
After finishing her meal, she vaguely felt that she had forgotten something.
It wasn't until she was drinking milk tea that she remembered she hadn't taken out the jasmine tree.
The moment Li Yuan was released, she was in an attack mode.
Little Red flew over skillfully, pointing its sword at Li Yuan, "How dare you harm your master!"
"..." Li Yuan then realized that she was not in the corridor of the passenger ship.
There was no sign of Long Lingzhu anywhere.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He instantly abandoned his attack stance, looking around blankly at the luxurious and comfortable interior of the carriage, then at Ning Ruan, who was comfortably nestled on the soft couch while holding a gourd. His face was filled with confusion and tension.
"Um...benefactor, where...are we?"
"Where is Long Lingzhu?"
Ning Ruan pointed to the ground. "It's obvious, we're running for our lives."
After saying that, he took another big gulp of milk tea.
Even from a distance, Li Yuan could smell the unique aroma that was a combination of an unknown tea fragrance and a milky scent.
Is this... this a desperate escape?
What about his previous escapes?
Is he capable of enduring hardship?
Ning Ruan slowly added, "As for Long Lingzhu, don't worry, she shouldn't be able to pursue you now."
"To be honest, I'm not sure if she's dead or not, but even if she isn't, it must be worse than death."
She had intended to kill him, but given how much the Jiaolong clan valued Long Lingzhu, Ning Ruan felt that as long as he wasn't burned to ashes on the spot, he might actually be saved.
However, she would have to endure the pain of being burned by the strange fire for a while.
Ning Ruan really hoped she wouldn't die.
It's best to stay alive.
She died so easily; it's unfair to those who were tortured to death by her.
If you don't die, we can have another good time next time we meet.
Li Yuan: "???"
So, what exactly happened during the time he collected the painting?
He instinctively swallowed.
Many questions lingered in my mind, and for a moment I didn't know which one to ask.
At last.
He said in a deep voice, "Is it because our benefactor injured the Dragon Spirit Pearl that we are now fleeing for our lives?"
Ning Ruan touched her chin and nodded, "In a sense, that's one way to understand it."
However, the biggest reason was that the passenger boat was almost split in two.
Although it can be repaired, it won't be fixed in a short time.
Why is she still staying?
The moment Li Yuan left the painting, she transformed into a human.
His head drooped slightly, his pale face filled with guilt and complex emotions.
Finally, he suddenly bowed deeply to Ning Ruan, as if he had made up his mind, and said through gritted teeth, "My benefactor got into this mess because of me. After I heal my sister, please give me your orders. If needed, I will even give you my life."
Ning Ruan looked up at him, "Sacrificing your life wouldn't help."
Li Yuan: "..."
That's a bit hurtful.
But it is indeed the truth.
Li Yuan knew this all too well.
But the only thing he could offer was his life.
"Would you like something to eat?" Ning Ruan pointed to the fruit and snacks on the table beside him. "Have something first."
Li Yuan: "..."
He tried to discern any worry or fear on Ning Ruan's face.
However, no matter how he looked at her, he could tell that the human female cultivator in front of him was extremely relaxed.
There was absolutely no sense of fleeing for one's life.
She wasn't in a hurry at all.
"My benefactor, where are we going now?"
Li Yuan sat down, but her tone remained uneasy.
"I don't know where to go," Xiao Hong interjected at the opportune moment.
Ning Ruan chimed in, "Yes, I don't know where to go."
Li Yuan: "...Are those dragon clan members chasing us?"
Ning Ruan thought for a moment, "Probably not, they wouldn't dare to chase after them."
At least, Granny Yue alone certainly wouldn't dare to pursue her.
