Chapter 260 To save or not to save?
The first moment he heard the cry for help, Han Feiyu looked directly at Ning Changge and said uncertainly:
"Hey, Senior Brother Ning, it seems like someone is shouting for help, and it seems to be two women?"
Ning Changge nodded slightly: "There is indeed a woman shouting for help."
Han Feiyu asked Ning Changge what to do next: "Brother Ning, should we go and take a look or not? From the direction where the shouting came from, it seems to be not far ahead of us."
Ning Changge raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "From the tone of Junior Brother Han's words, it seems that he is not very willing to be a hero and save the beauty?"
Han Feiyu smiled and replied, with no trace of guilt or self-blame on his face:
"Master once warned me that when you are out, it is better to have less trouble than more. There is no need to put yourself in danger for irrelevant people."
"Besides, is it a hero saving a beautiful girl or a trap? The former is fine, but if it's the latter, it will be a big trouble."
"It seems that Junior Brother Han has been afraid of ropes for ten years since he was bitten by a snake once." Ning Changge said with a teasing smile.
The world outside is not as beautiful as described in books. Low-probability events like a hero saving a beauty basically only exist in novels. Intrigue and deception are the reality and cruel world of cultivating immortals.
It’s not that Ning Changge doesn’t want to be brave and do what is right, but this place is deep in the mountains and forests, and there is only a small mortal town nearby. It is impossible for a cultivator to rob another cultivator.
Although the cries for help were still some distance away, the fluctuations in spiritual energy could not cover up the presence of several Nascent Soul cultivators.
Hearing the joke in Ning Changge's words, Han Feiyu said in a low voice embarrassedly: "It's my fault that I was too young at that time and didn't take Master's words to heart."
Ning Changge patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "No wonder when Junior Sister Bai was pestering me yesterday, you told me to stay away from women and practice hard. I didn't realize that you have really been deceived by a woman."
Han Feiyu's face immediately turned red when he heard this. He coughed awkwardly a few times to change the subject and said, "So, Senior Brother Ning, are we going or not?"
Ning Changge raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Although I am the captain, the answer to this question is not up to me."
Han Feiyu: “?”
Ning Changge said mysteriously: "Don't worry."
After saying that, Ning Changge turned around and looked at the disciples behind him, saying, "I guess you all heard the woman's cry for help just now, as well as the conversation between me and Deputy Captain Han?"
The disciples nodded and said in unison: "I heard it!"
Ning Changge smiled slightly: "Very good, then I will now announce the first task of the trial, everyone please listen carefully."
All the disciples pricked up their ears. Even Bai Xian'er, who had been communicating with Jiuyou along the way, was startled and immediately stopped communicating and became extremely alert.
"The first task is as follows. Please listen carefully and tell me your answer in thirty seconds."
"If you are out training alone and suddenly hear someone shouting for help on the road, what would you do?"
Hearing this question, Han Feiyu blinked, and then sent a voice message to Ning Changge, saying: "Senior Brother Ning, this first trial task, could it be that you came up with it on the spot?"
Ning Changge replied: "Well, is there a problem?"
Han Feiyu sent another voice message: "There is no problem, but..."
Ning Changge interrupted his voice transmission and said with a smile: "No problem, that's all. Besides, don't you think doing a task like this is more meaningful as a test?"
"The trials will definitely test events that actually happened in reality, and then hone their on-site performances of encountering and solving problems."
Han Feiyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
Because, if you think about Ning Changge's words carefully, they make a lot of sense.
Most of the battles you encounter in the wild are with monsters, but this won't cost you your life.
After all, the monsters that can practice cultivation are not stupid, and they don't need to fight to the death with human monks.
The one who can really make you lose your life is a person!
This person gave up something in order to gain something.
During his travels in the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the Nanming Territory over the years, Han Feiyu saw the true evil hidden in people's hearts, and the ruler of a country was no exception.
Take the accidental death of the previous emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, Xuanyuan Jingyuan, which Han Feiyu talked about with Ning Changge yesterday. There are some royal secrets that Han Feiyu did not tell Ning Changge.
After all, he had promised his good friend in the palace not to tell anyone, but when he recalled what his good friend had told him, Han Feiyu felt his scalp tingling.
For the sake of the rumored path to becoming Emperor Wu, he actually gave away his wife, the empress of the previous dynasty, to someone else. Although she was impotent, the three thousand beauties were like a widow to him.
But it was the first time for Han Feiyu to see someone cheating on himself.
No wonder Xuanyuan Jingyuan was killed by the empress of the time. He could have sent his wife as a gift, although he failed. But we cannot rule out the possibility that he would send his own sister as a gift in the future.
The Xuanyuan Dynasty would naturally not allow such a royal scandal to spread, but it could not cover up the fact that Xuanyuan Jingyuan had committed too many sins, and many people were extremely resentful.
There was no way out. The queen of the previous dynasty, Princess Xia, who was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Nanming Realm once in five thousand years, was sentenced to death.
However, according to gossip from his friend's friend, the current empress Xuanyuan Feixiao actually secretly released her sister-in-law and expelled her from the domain.
As for the queen of the previous dynasty, a beauty rare in five thousand years, no one knows whether she is alive or dead, or where she lives.
His good friend doesn't know either.
After all, this happened almost five hundred years ago.
While Han Feiyu was thinking about the past, thirty seconds passed in a flash.
At this time, a disciple answered Ning Changge's question. He was a disciple from the Discipline Peak wearing blue clothes. Ning Changge had some impression of him. It was this man named Zhao Hao who had been arguing with Bai Xianer before they set off.
Zhao Hao shouted, "Tell Senior Brother Ning, rush up and kill him! We are disciples of Qingyun Immortal Sect, the most righteous sect in the East Desert. It is our duty to help those in need when we see injustice!"
Ning Changge said "hmm" lightly but did not comment on Zhao Hao's answer. However, his "hmm" made Zhao Hao happy.
"Hehe! I am indeed the most talented one. Bai Xian'er, this brainless woman, dares to fight with me! It seems that Master is also wrong sometimes. Senior Brother Ning still has some strength."
Ning Changge looked at the other disciples and asked, "Are the answers of others the same as Zhao Hao's?"
Most of the disciples nodded and replied, "Yes! Senior Brother Ning, as practitioners, when we encounter injustice, we should stand up and uphold justice!"
The opinions of the masses are naturally not all the same. If there is a majority, there will be a minority. For example, a female disciple from Yuling Peak who was holding a rabbit in her arms said:
"Brother Ning, I will take a detour and just treat it as if I saw air."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Hao immediately mocked him mercilessly: "Hey! Tang Yuewu, you are a spirit pet trainer, but you are so cold-blooded, I am afraid that all the spirit beasts will be killed by you!"
Tang Yuewu didn't want to tolerate him and immediately retorted, "It's none of your business! Senior Brother Ning is asking for everyone's answer. Can you represent everyone?"
Zhao Hao was angry: "You......!"
Ning Changge waved his hand, interrupting the quarrel between the two people: "Stop arguing."
His tone was very calm, without any command tone, but it sounded like an imperial decree to the ears of the two men, and they all fell silent.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ning." x2.
At this time, Xia Xuanyin, a female disciple from Xiaozhu Peak and also Bai Xianer's good sister, spoke up.
"Well, Senior Brother Ning, I will watch from a distance. If I find that the enemy's cultivation is lower than mine, I will help him. If he is higher than me, I will run away immediately."
Ning Changge nodded slightly and smiled, "Yes, you have a sense of justice but you are rational. This is what a disciple of Qingyun Immortal Sect should be like."
ah! ah! ah! ah!
Senior Brother Ning is so handsome!
Senior Brother Ning looks so good when he smiles!
bah bah bah!
I can't be like Xian'er who only knows how to be infatuated with girls. You have to be reserved, Xia Xuanyin.
Be like the senior sister, be like an elder sister, be a reserved woman.
But, Senior Brother Ning, he is really good-looking!
Xia Xuanyin blushed slightly and said softly, "It's all because of you, Senior Brother Ning, who led the team well."
Ning Changge smiled and waved his hands: "Don't praise me. I can't stand it. Besides, what I said is the truth. Your answer is indeed good."
"But..." Ning Changge suddenly changed the subject and asked, "If the enemy is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and his true realm is actually higher than yours, but you don't see it and go straight up, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?"
"this......"
Xia Xuanyin was unable to answer the question for a while, but finally gave an answer: "I don't know, but if the enemy really intends to hide his cultivation, then I will definitely not go to rescue him. There is no need to put myself in danger for a stranger."
Before Ning Changge could reply, Bai Xian'er jumped out, raised her hands and said:
"I know, I know the answer to this question!"
