Although he suppressed his fear with his backhand and lay on the bed.
"Not long ago, you encountered two trials of 'fear' in the Void Illusion, one of which was me."
Ji Ningshuang turned her head and looked at Yu Ze. Her long hair was casually tied up and adorned with a jade hairpin. Her delicate and beautiful facial features matched with her cold temperament outlined a beauty that was enough to make one's heart beat faster, but there was a sense of majesty in that coldness.
People can only admire her beauty but dare not blaspheme her.
"Will I scare you?" She looked at Yu Ze with her beautiful eyes and suddenly asked softly.
Yu Ze showed a faint smile on his face: "Why do you have such an idea? If I were afraid of you, I would not come to see you tonight."
"If that's the case why are you standing so far away from me?"
Ji Ningshuang's voice was as clear as the knocking of jade, but there was clearly a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Yu Ze sighed softly: "That's because you set up a shielding formation in the room. How could I not be careful?"
The moment Yu Ze stepped into the room just now, he felt that the entire room was shrouded in a formation.
Although this looks like an ordinary room at the moment, even if Yu Ze and Ji Ningshuang are having a pillow fight on the bed or shouting loudly, no one outside will hear them.
Ji Ningshuang frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes showing surprise, astonishment, and then relief.
That's true. After all, he is her master. It's possible that he wouldn't be unaware of the formation she had set up in advance.
Although her little thoughts were exposed, Ji Ningshuang's expression remained calm, with a hint of smile on her cold face: "I just don't want anyone to eavesdrop on our conversation, even though I don't think anyone can eavesdrop under my nose."
She continued in a voice as clear and pleasant as a silver bell: "Anyway, please sit down first."
Yu Ze nodded slightly, and then quickly discovered that apart from the big bed, there were only two sofa chairs in front of the terrace, sitting close together.
He glanced at Ji Ningshuang calmly.
This simple and elegant sect leader had a faint smile between his eyebrows, and his autumn-water eyes looked him up and down carefully, as if he had not seen enough after participating in the spiritual energy assessment all day.
Under Ji Ningshuang's gaze, Yu Ze finally walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, then took a look at the snacks on the table.
But this one glance made him stunned for a moment.
The black tea was emitting white misty hot smoke and exuding a mellow aroma, and a dinner plate was placed next to the black tea.
On the plate, there are light pink peach blossom cakes, which are very eye-catching.
Ji Ningshuang looked at the boy's silence, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said softly: "Considering that you might be hungry at night, I asked someone to prepare some black tea. The snack is the peach blossom cake that I asked someone to prepare before I traveled through time. I remember that you and Baiyin both like it."
She sat next to Yu Ze and picked up the teacup by herself: "Actually, before I went to the outer star, I didn't expect to really meet you."
This was not the first time that Ji Ningshuang had deduced the secrets for Yu Ze.
In the past, when she was in Guiyi Sect, she had deduced the secrets of heaven countless times, and Yu Ze's whereabouts appeared several times among them.
Every time Yu Ze appeared in a different location, but whenever Ji Ningshuang went to search in person, she could not find any trace of him.
Deducing the secrets of heaven does not necessarily lead to accurate news. Often, there will be wrong information that misleads the person doing the deduction.
The news that Yu Ze appeared on the surface star this time was just one of the results obtained by Ji Ningshuang after deducing the secrets of heaven.
The only difference is that this time the location is more specific, even showing the city where he lives.
Yu Ze took out a piece of peach blossom cake and took a bite. After several years, the familiar taste filled his mouth again.
Baiyin has always loved snacks, especially peach blossom cakes.
Over time, Yu Ze also developed some interest in peach blossom cake.
But he never expected that after several years, he would actually eat the cakes brought from heaven on the outer planet.
Ji Ningshuang looked at him quietly. When she thought of the various scenes of her past life with him, her eyes and brows became softer.
But all of this was completely destroyed one night.
Looking at Yu Ze who was tasting the peach blossom cake, Ji Ningshuang suddenly asked: "What happened on the night you left?"
Yu Ze took a sip of red tea, was silent for a moment, and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what happened. After meeting you that night, I went back to my room alone to meditate and practice."
"When I woke up again, I was no longer in heaven."
Mysteries abound.
Until now, Yu Ze still couldn't figure out how he was stabbed in the back.
The house was covered with a formation at that time, so he would be able to detect anyone approaching from the outside.
That's why he was sure that the person who stabbed him in the back could only be someone in the house.
But logically speaking, he should be able to notice it immediately if someone approaches.
After all, the realms of those slaves at that time were far inferior to his.
Ji Ningshuang frowned when she heard that.
She went to the room where Yu Ze lived the day after he left, but her realm was still low at that time and she could not catch any relevant clues. Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to give up tracking down the murderer for the time being.
I just want to catch the murderer and avenge him in the future.
But more than two thousand years have passed, and although she had the house where they once lived preserved, there is still no clue about the murderer.
As if sensing the somewhat depressing atmosphere, Yu Ze quickly smiled and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this now. I will be traveling to Shangcang in half a month. I will go back and take a look. Maybe I can remember some details of that night."
"We can't come up with anything just sitting here and thinking about it, right?"
Ji Ningshuang obviously listened to Yu Ze's words.
She murmured to herself thoughtfully, "That's true. When you travel to heaven in half a month, maybe you can think of some details that you missed."
"By the way, I have a gift for you."
After watching the night view with Yu Ze for a while, Ji Ningshuang seemed to remember something important and took out the gift she had prepared long ago from her arms.
Chapter 40 is a straight ball, she hit a straight ball!
It is a jade slip with exquisite workmanship.
Yu Ze subconsciously glanced at the jade slip. There seemed to be special Taoist patterns on the jade slip. He didn't know what kind of fairy gold it was made of, but it looked as smooth as jade.
The words "Inner Door" above are quite eye-catching.
He looked up subconsciously.
"what is this?"
In fact, when he opened his mouth, Yu Ze already had some premonition in his heart.
The disciples of Guiyi Sect are divided into two categories: 'inner sect' and 'outer sect'. Outer sect disciples need to start as menial servants and may have a chance to be promoted to inner sect disciples after several years.
Only the inner disciples can obtain Guiyi Sect’s resources and spirit stone salary every month.
"The token of the inner disciples?" Yu Ze asked.
Ji Ningshuang nodded gently: "I have carved the Dao pattern on it. When you travel to the heavens in half a month, as long as you bring the jade slip to report to Guiyi Sect, they will naturally regard you as an inner disciple of Guiyi Sect."
Yu Ze was silent for a moment: "Wouldn't this be a bad idea...?"
He didn't mind living off others, but if Ji Ningshuang gave him the token directly, people would inevitably gossip about him.
However, at this moment, Ji Ningshuang showed a little smile on her face: "Have you forgotten your performance in the previous spiritual energy assessment?"
"As a newcomer who has just started practicing, you managed to enter a state of meditation for two hours on your first try. This is a genius among geniuses. Once you enter a sect, those old guys will probably treat you like a treasure and fight for you."
When she said this, she seemed to have thought of something, and reminded him intentionally or unintentionally: "But you have to be careful of some of the female elders in the sect. Don't be deceived by their appearance. Some of the female elders have a lifespan of four or five hundred years."
The female elder’s life span is over five hundred years, but the problem is that your life span is over two thousand... Yu Ze looked at Ji Ningshuang in surprise.
As if she had sensed the meaning in Yu Ze's eyes, Ji Ningshuang said calmly, "I am different from them. The life span of a saint is much longer than theirs, and cannot be measured by age."
Yu Ze was silent, but finally took the jade slip.
Ji Ningshuang had thought about it long before. First, she wanted Yu Ze to stand out in the spiritual energy assessment, and then she would show her "love for talent", so as to pave the way for her future plans.
"After you report to Guiyi Sect, come directly to Daochu Peak to find me. I will announce to the public that you have been accepted as my last disciple." Ji Ningshuang's true intentions were revealed.
"Then we can be together legitimately."
Yu Ze looked at her in shock.
I never thought that I am your master, but you want to be my master...
Then soon, Yu Ze felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be slightly wrong.
Or rather, there seemed to be something wrong with the way Ji Ningshuang looked at him...
At this moment, Ji Ningshuang seemed to have lost her coldness and was staring at this 'junior' who was now younger than her.
There were soft colors rippling in those eyes, containing some special meaning.
The brightly lit city at night, the luxurious hotel room, the subtle fragrance emanating from the barefoot beauty sitting next to you, and the quiet and beautiful environment...all of this seems to make the atmosphere extremely ambiguous.
"By the way, let me return the room card to you."
Yu Ze coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and returned the room card in his pocket to Ji Ningshuang.
"Keep it for now, maybe it will be useful later."
Ji Ningshuang smiled faintly and glanced at Yu Ze: "After all, I will stay in Pingcheng for a while."
"If you want to come see me, it will be more convenient with a room card."
The tone was cool and ethereal, but there seemed to be a certain charm in his words, which aroused endless reverie.
Yu Ze could only quietly take back the room card and change the subject: "By the way, why did you become the leader of Guiyi Sect?"
"What happened to you after I was gone?"
Having said this, he picked up the black tea again and took a sip.
My original intention was to calm my mind, but for some reason I just felt more and more agitated.
Originally, the two sofas were close together, and Ji Ningshuang was very close to Yu Ze. He could vaguely smell a faint fragrance emanating from the beauty's body, mixed with the aroma of black tea floating in the air, which was a heart-pounding temptation.
If he didn't know that Ji Ningshuang would not do anything too outrageous, Yu Ze would even suspect that there were computer parts in the black tea.
Fortunately, Ji Ningshuang didn't seem to notice what was happening on Yu Ze's side. She just held the tea and lost herself in her memories.
After a while, she began to slowly tell the unknown secret.
At that time, after thinking that Yu Ze was dead, Ji Ningshuang left the house and participated in the spiritual energy assessment of Guiyi Sect.
Heaven is a world with abundant spiritual energy, so abundant that it makes it difficult for most ordinary people to survive.
The speed of a cultivator's cultivation is indeed accelerated due to the abundant spiritual energy, but at the same time, the lifespan of a cultivator is limited by the rules of heaven. Even the most powerful cultivator will find it difficult to live beyond 10,000 years.
The leader of Guiyi Sect at that time was Fairy Yaoyue. She sought the remedy for immortality to no avail. Later, in order to maintain the prosperity of Guiyi Sect, she began to look for a disciple who could inherit her legacy.
After that, Fairy Yaoyue took a fancy to Ji Ningshuang's talent and made an exception to accept her as her closed disciple and taught her carefully.
Finally, when Ji Ningshuang became a powerful third-grade being, Fairy Yaoyue passed away peacefully on the Ascension Platform.
A peerless fairy of her generation died.
The heavens were in turmoil at that time, and Ji Ningshuang was a talented woman. Soon after her master passed away, she showed her invincibility, and almost swept all the way until she finally turned her body into a cauldron at the Ascension Conference, merging her spiritual consciousness with the cauldron and achieving the realm of a saint.
The unrest in the East Continent was also suppressed by her.
Since then, the legend of Ji Ningshuang has been circulating in the universe. Many people wonder why such a stunning genius suddenly appeared in Guiyi Sect, and why he did not come from any ancient family.
She didn't have any background initially.
"At first I thought that I had worked hard for all that. It was not until later when I tested my luck that I realized that my ordinary luck had turned into great luck."
Ji Ningshuang's expression was cold, but there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes as she looked at Yu Ze: "That was given to me by the master in the past, right?"
"Not only me, but also Su Dieying, Kailin and others are all people with great luck... I remember when I first tested my luck, it was just an ordinary luck."
In God, talent and luck are equally important.
The slaves chosen by Yu Ze will appear on the slave panel, and these slaves will be endowed with great fortune.
Only Baiyin is an exception.
In fact, at the beginning Yu Ze didn’t know what the use of this great luck was.
But soon after hearing about what happened to Ji Ningshuang, Kailin and others, he understood everything.
"Good luck only gives you opportunities, but talent is something you are born with." Yu Ze shook his head and said.
