Chapter 255 Miserable Brothers and Sisters
After leaving the room, Ning Wuxie lowered his head and said nothing, and quickly walked out of the palace. Xuan'er tried to keep up, but found that Ning Wuxie was walking faster and faster, so she tugged on his arm.
"Brother." She called.
Ning Wuxie paused, stopped and waited for her, with a smile on his face.
"What's wrong, brother?" Xuan'er keenly sensed something was wrong with Ning Wuxie's mood and asked him close to him.
"It's okay." Ning Wuxie turned away, but Xuan'er reached out to stop her and pulled her back.
"Something's wrong!" Xuan'er pouted and looked into Ning Wuxie's eyes, staring at Ning Wuxie as if she wanted to pull out his disturbing emotions.
"Are you feeling bad?" she asked softly.
"No," Ning Wuxie said in a relaxed tone with a smile, "How can I feel uncomfortable? I feel very comfortable!"
He was grinning, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, revealing a somewhat contradictory smile. He pointed at Li Luobing's door: "Who is that? That is our enemy! The enemy who killed me in the previous life!"
"I wish I could torture and humiliate her until she breaks down and kneels in front of me to beg me!" Ning Wuxie said with an angry tone.
"But isn't she like this now..." Xuan'er held Ning Wuxie's hand in front of her and whispered, "Look at her just now, she's not even as arrogant as before, it scares me. A jump."
"Or, if that doesn't satisfy you, how else do you want to torture her?"
Xuan'er looked at Ning Wuxie with a strange look in her eyes: "She is a woman, how are you going to torture her? Do you mean...are you going to subject her to all kinds of torture? You don't look like someone who would do that."
After what Xuan'er said, Ning Wuxie felt a little guilty and pursed her lips and stopped talking, but the annoyance in her heart just couldn't go away.
He didn't know why, but seeing Li Luobing completely broken down and begging for mercy, he suddenly felt very upset.
This is not distressing, nor is it sympathy, it is just a feeling of dissatisfaction, feeling that this should not be the case, and that it is not enough fun.
"No," Ning Wuxie suddenly thought of something, "Why did she only apologize to me and not to you?"
"Obviously she was the culprit who killed you, so she has to apologize to you!"
"What are you talking about!" Xuan'er pulled Ning Wuxie, "Are you going to tell her about our rebirth?" she whispered.
"She apologized to you because she assassinated you to make trouble for you, not because she killed you. How did Li Luobing know at this time that she killed us?"
Ning Wuxie frowned and the corners of her mouth twitched: "That's not okay... I'll let her apologize to you."
"Oh, what's wrong with you..." Xuan'er became more and more worried, dragging Ning Wuxie to ask more questions.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the corridor of the palace in front of them. The man was shocked when he saw Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, and then shouted: "Benefactor!"
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er stopped pulling and found that it was Wei Mingrong.
Wei Mingrong trotted forward and bowed to the ground, but Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er didn't support her.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor, for saving my brother and sister's lives. From now on, we will act like cows and horses to repay you..." As soon as she saw Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, Wei Mingrong became excited, shouting and kowtowing in a tearful tone.
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er helped her up to comfort her.
"Where is your brother, how is he doing now?"
"Brother, he has gone crazy, but luckily he can recognize me..." Wei Mingrong looked a little sad, but she still pretended to be strong in front of the two of them, "At least he listens to me, and I should have no problem taking care of him in the future. ." She raised her hand to wipe her tears and forced a smile.
"It won't matter if you live here from now on." Ning Wuxie patted her shoulder, "It should be no problem for you and your brother to have enough food and clothing."
"Thank you, my benefactor." Wei Mingrong was about to bow again, but was supported by Ning Wuxie. She straightened up and asked carefully, "My benefactor, what on earth is this place?"
"This... is a small world that I refined. It is equivalent to a different space that is parasitic in the main world outside. It just uses me as a link and is attached to my body." Ning Wuxie said, "It is a small world after all. It’s not as vast as Lingwu Continent, but it’s big enough. Tens of thousands of people in Tianming City can live and work in peace and contentment, and so can you.”
Wei Mingrong's eyes widened and she was extremely surprised: "The small world in the body... is really unheard of."
"I grew up in the Wei Mansion, and I have seen many cultivators who followed my father. I have never seen someone like my benefactor... who can actually become the master of the world!" Wei Mingrong's eyes were filled with admiration.
Ning Wuxie smiled and reassured her again, asking her to rest assured that if she had any needs, just ask and Tianming City would be able to help her meet them.
"Mingrong doesn't dare to ask for anything else, but there is one more thing..." Wei Mingrong hesitated and said sheepishly: "I know I shouldn't ask, after all, my life was given by my benefactor... …”
"I want to ask... what happened in the end outside? Did you kill Zhang Wanyang?"
"I saw that your divine beast brought back the traitorous girl from the Human Sect. Where's that Zhang Wanyang?" Wei Mingrong's eyes shone with anticipation.
Even though she knew that asking for one more thing from Ning Wuxie was going too far, her desire for revenge still made her unable to help but ask.
Ning Wuxie was silent for a moment, "Zhang Wanyang, I haven't killed him yet."
Wei Mingrong was stunned for a moment, then her eyes dimmed and she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
"There is still some use for me keeping Zhang Wanyang. Right now, I can't kill him."
"But don't worry, at least you brothers and sisters are safe here. No one can hurt you."
Wei Mingrong nodded, "I understand that my benefactor has his own considerations. If we brothers and sisters can meet each other alive in this life, we will die without regrets. There is no need for us to disturb the benefactor's plan."
Ning Wuxie hurriedly waved her hands, indicating that there was no such thing.
"Two benefactors, can you come with me to see my brother? I think I have to let him thank you personally so that I can feel at ease."
There was nothing to do at this time, and it was still early for the dinner party the next day as mentioned by the ancestor of the Zhao family. Ning Wuxie nodded, and it was just in time to make arrangements for the Wei family brothers and sisters.
The two of them followed Ming Rong and walked to another room on the second floor of the palace. The palace was quite large, and Ning Wuxie had never visited the second floor of the Service Hall before, so he took a look at it at this time.
Although Ning Wuxie passed on the room construction methods of humans on land to the people of Tianming City, some habits and aesthetics inherited from the ancient Xia Dynasty were still retained, and combined with these advanced systems to create a An architectural style that is both practical and ancient.
Although this government palace is extremely grand, considering that Ning Wuxie does not work here and rarely lives here, a huge two-story single palace building was finally built under Chong Jue's design. The first floor is similar to that of an emperor. The lobby in the morning is spacious and atmospheric, and the second floor is a zigzag corridor with many small rooms scattered around it. Chongjue and some maids from the Government Affairs Palace live here, while more rooms are empty and can be used as needed to store information or sundries.
Since this was not a palace for the king, Chongjue never changed the name. He just called it the Government Affairs Hall, which was just a place where he handled official business.
A group of three people walked along the corridor to another room. As soon as Wei Mingrong opened the door, he heard a strange scream in the room, and then a thud of something hitting the ground.
Wei Mingrong hurriedly walked in and saw a head sticking out from the back of the bed. She carefully looked at the door and saw that it was Wei Mingrong. Wei Mingli stood up suddenly and fell on the bed because he only had one leg.
But he still looked up at Wei Mingrong, grinning silly.
"Rong'er, hehe...Rong'er is here..."
When he saw Ning Wuxie, his eyes lit up: "Meat pie! Meat pie is here too! Meat pie is delicious..."
"Brother!" Wei Mingrong was startled and walked forward quickly, "This is our benefactor, not some meat pie!"
"It's meat pie. It's delicious..." Wei Mingli was helped by his sister and turned over to lie on the bed. He looked at his sister and then at Ning Wuxie, his face almost bursting with laughter.
Looks happier than anyone in the world.
"I'm sorry, my benefactor, my brother is a fool after all..." Wei Mingrong was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, it's okay," Ning Wuxie said with a smile, "Maybe I gave him too many meatloaf at Xihong Market."
He and Xuan'er walked closer and looked at Wei Mingli's empty right arm sleeve and only left foot, and couldn't help but feel pitiful.
Even if he became a madman, it is hard to imagine how he survived for so many years with his body still so disabled.
Both Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er have seen people at the lowest level. In the slums, such people often appear. The madmen or physically disabled beggars curled up on the roadside are generally one of them, and this kind of people They can often be seen in summer and autumn, but disappear in winter.
Then the next summer, he didn't show up, and I never saw him again every summer from now on.
Ning Wuxie naturally knew the outcome of these people.
But this Wei Mingli was crazy and disabled, and it was a miracle that he could live for so many years.
Only the phrase "still alive" that he often talks about can explain it.
Wei Mingrong noticed Ning Wuxie's gaze and said sadly: "Twenty years ago, when I desperately squeezed my brother out of the dog hole, my brother was still with sound limbs and a clear mind, but now..."
Her eyes were sad, and she reached out to touch Wei Mingli's head: "I don't know what he has gone through in these years."
Ning Wuxie understood clearly that he had ended up in such a situation while wandering. It was truly an extremely dark experience, and it was simply unimaginable.
"Rong'er," Wei Mingli seemed a little anxious as if he felt Wei Mingrong's sadness. He grabbed his sister's hand and whispered, "I'm still alive..."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Mingrong could no longer hold back her tears, and they burst out of her eyes and flowed down her cheeks, "Yeah, brother is still alive, that's great!"
She wiped away her tears sheepishly and explained to Ning Wuxie: "When I rescued him back then, the last thing I told him was to live, he must live."
"I said that if I saw him coming to me underground, I would never recognize him."
"He has always doted on me since he was a child, always being bullied by me." Wei Mingrong smiled and squeezed out more tears, "So he still listens to what I say."
Wei Mingli used his only left hand to wipe his sister's tears, and whispered "Still alive" in his mouth, as if he thought it was a coaxing lullaby.
Seeing this scene, Ning Wuxie couldn't help but pursed her lips. It was so miserable... The world had tortured this pair of relatives to such an extent.
He glanced at Xuan'er. The silent Xuan'er's eyes were already red, and tears welled up silently, falling drop by drop from her chin. Seeing Ning Wuxie looking over, she quickly turned around and wiped away her tears.
"It's really God's will. Your brother has been living according to your words. Even if he goes crazy, he still has to survive. But you didn't die. Instead, you were kidnapped by Zhang Wanyang and became your adopted daughter." Ning Wuxie sighed.
"Why didn't he kill you?"
"I was only eight years old at the time... A collapsed house crushed me before the killer found me. I was hit on the head and passed out. But I was lucky. When I woke up a few days later, I was still killed by Zhang Wan. Foreigners caught me, but I didn’t remember anything at that time except that my name was Wei Mingrong.”
"Zhang Wanyang didn't kill me, but added me to his righteous daughter group." Wei Mingrong showed a hint of hatred, her eyes full of contempt.
"It was only later that I grew up and recovered the memories of those years. From then on, I served him more obediently just to collect evidence... But I am a mortal after all. Even if I knew that he was my enemy, there was nothing I could do."
Wei Mingrong lowered her head, and then looked at Ning Wuxie with gratitude: "Thanks to my benefactor, I brought my brother back to me and rescued me." There was a cry in her words again, "Otherwise, after all these years, I was trapped in that inner courtyard. I didn’t know that my brother was in Qian City, more than ten miles away..."
As she was about to kneel down again, Xuan'er quickly supported her, her eyes were red and she said emotionally: "Sister Rong, please don't thank me. Ning Wuxie and I are also brothers and sisters, but they are different from you. We are not Dear...and we are still Taoist couples, that's because...anyway..."
The more Xuan'er talked, the more stuck she got, and she got involved in the explanation. Ning Wuxie quickly came to the rescue: "We are sworn brothers and sisters, and we can empathize with you very much."
"Yes!" Xuan'er nodded.
Wei Mingrong looked at Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er gratefully, "This is really destined."
Ning Wuxie asked again: "What's going on with that righteous girl group? Are you all the queens of the soldiers he killed?"
"Most of them are, and some are bought by him," Wei Mingrong said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We are just playthings he bought to satisfy his perverted desires. Look at the clothes he puts on us..."
"Then why do you say he is an eunuch...?" Ning Wuxie asked again. He actually cared about this question. During the previous battle, Zhang Wanyang flew into the air to release the seal and climbed to the Nascent Soul realm. He obviously didn't look like he had no such job.
"Zhang Wanyang has to stay in the Xuan Qin court to be his national advisor for some reasons. Generally speaking, Confucian disciples who serve as high-ranking officials in the court are not very advanced. You know that, my dear benefactor."
Ning Wuxie nodded. He knew this. After all, high cultivation meant that it was difficult to control. Confucian disciples had great power in the court and were individually strong. Wouldn't they defy heaven? It was too threatening to the imperial power.
Therefore, the higher the power of a general minister, the lower his cultivation level. This is considered to meet the needs of the emperor, the ministers, and the cultivators who pursue combat power. Real cultivators are not willing to interfere with those troublesome mundane political affairs.
"So, he used some secret method to seal his cultivation, and the price was... to temporarily become a eunuch. Don't you see that he doesn't even have a child? His wife may not have been with him for more than ten years. Move over."
"Although he is not a man, this guy still wants to satisfy his perverted desires, so he raised our group of people."
Ning Wuxie suddenly realized that the secret method of sealing and the sorcery that allowed him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm at the age of forty must have been given to him by Tianxu. It's even possible that this is the same skill, and the cost of using the power of the Nascent Soul is to be a eunuch.
He did not doubt whether Zhang Wanyang could really reach Yuanying on his own and reach the Immortal Realm in his early forties. If it were Li Luobing or Xuan'er, he might still believe it, but Zhang Wanyang was unlikely. .
Wei Mingrong asked Wei Mingli to kneel down and thank Ning Wuxie and Ning Wuxie. Wei Mingli knelt on the bed and kowtowed without thinking. He also looked at Ning Wuxie and giggled, muttering about meat pie and meat pie.
Ning Wuxie comforted him again and told him that he would give him something 10,000 times more delicious than meatloaf in the evening. Wei Mingli didn't understand what ten thousand times meant, but after Wei Mingrong's explanation, he became even happier and clapped his hands like a child.
Ning Wuxie asked Wei Mingrong to live here, and he could do some work as a maid, or he could do some business in the city. Don't worry about that Li Luobing.
After settling in for a while, Ning Wuxie said goodbye to Xuan'er, walked out of the room to the first floor, and came to the square in front of the Government Affairs Hall.
Xuan'er was obviously still immersed in the life experience of these tragic brothers and sisters, her eyes were red, and she was sobbing from time to time.
Ning Wuxie pulled her to face him and wiped away her tears with his hands. I was obviously very depressed just now, but now when facing the crying Xuan'er, I no longer felt this depressed feeling, and I just wanted to comfort her.
"Brother, we must survive too."
"Who in the world can kill us? How strong we are."
"If one day only one of you and I can survive, I will do the same to save you..."
"I won't let that day happen. If it does happen, I will definitely die with you." Ning Wuxie said seriously.
Xuan'er lay in Ning Wuxie's arms and gradually felt much better.
