Chapter 231: Departure! Ancient Ruins
Three days later, in the Nie family’s residence, Su Yi was seen sitting cross-legged in a room. After that, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of fresh air.
He felt the condition of his body and discovered that after his spiritual root was upgraded to high-grade, his breathing and cultivation became even faster. His body felt light, as if his muscles and bone marrow had been cleansed.
These past few days, for some unknown reason, Nie Ling did not come to look for him. It was as if she had disappeared after that night.
However, even if Nie Ling did not come to look for him, he could still let Little Xie come out occasionally to get some fresh air.
At this moment, Little Xie was still floating in the air with a book in her hands, reading it with great interest.
Just when she was getting engrossed in reading, Su Yi had finished his cultivation. After tidying up his appearance, he said lightly, “Little Xie, get ready to go out. Quickly return to the dagger.”
Hearing this, Little Xie’s expression, which was originally filled with interest, suddenly changed. She looked at Su Yi pitifully and said indifferently, “big bad guy, why don’t you wait a little longer? One hour, ah, no, half an hour is fine too.”
Her small hands held the book tightly as if she was extremely reluctant to part with it. If it was any other time, Su Yi might have waited for her to finish reading it.
However, now, it was the time that he had agreed upon with Nie Ling’s grandfather, Nie Dingtian. If he delayed any longer, he did not know what Nie Ling would think of him.
“Forget it. I’ll keep this book in the seal space. You can read it again when you have time in the future.”
As he spoke, he snatched the book from Little Xie’s hands. When he saw the title of the book, his face immediately turned black.
‘The story between the third elder of Sword Pavilion and the Heaven’s Favorite Su Yi.’
He held back the urge to tear the book apart on the spot and looked at Little Xie with a dark face.
“Now, you’re not allowed to read it anymore!”
After he said that, he did not care about Little Xie’s teary eyes. He moved his fire element true essence energy and a burning sensation came from his hands. He burned the book.
At the same time, Su Yi secretly made up his mind to find the person who wrote such a ridiculous book and beat him up.
Little did he know that the person who wrote such a book had already been visited by the Sword Pavilion.
Right now, in Central Plains, people have only heard about the book, but no one had seen the person who wrote the book.
After burning the book, he picked up Little Xie and chased her back into the Dragon Blood Spirit-breaking Blade. Then, he walked out of the room.
When he arrived at the main hall of the Nie family, he saw that Nie Dingtian, Nie Ling, and her parents were already waiting for him.
Seeing that Su Yi had arrived, they greeted each other. Then, he came to elder Nie’s side and asked, “Elder Nie, when do we leave?”
Nie Dingtian waved his hand and said indifferently, “no rush. Wait a moment.”
Old Master Nie looked at Nie Ling, Nie Ling’s parents, and the others.
Nie Ling was saying goodbye to her parents when Nie Longxiang came to Su Yi’s side and patted his shoulder.
“Little friend Su, I heard about the matter between you and my father. I’ll leave my daughter to you.”
Nie Longxiang’s expression was a little strange when he said this. Moreover, why did it feel like an old father had entrusted his daughter’s life to him?
Su Yi was stunned when he heard this. He could only nod his head foolishly and confirm.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Nie. When the time comes, I will definitely send the complete and intact fellow Daoist Nie back to the Nie family.”
After Nie Ling said her goodbyes, Nie Dingtian walked forward to look at Nie Ling’s parents and gave them some instructions.
“This trip will be as short as a few months or as long as half a year. Therefore, during this period of time, our Nie family’s business should be as stable as possible. Don’t be in a hurry to develop. I’m afraid that when the time comes, some people won’t be able to wait to make a move on the business.”
Hearing this, Nie Longxiang’s gaze was sharp as he nodded his head and replied, “let us go, father. I will definitely take care of the business. Father, you should take good care of yourself during this trip.”
“Okay.”
Nie Dingtian lightly replied. Then, he waved his hand and shouted, “girl, kid Su Yi, let’s go!”
After saying this, the two of them followed Nie Dingtian out of the Nie family’s mansion.
…
Central Plains City was very big, and there were many aristocratic families. However, not all aristocratic families were qualified to participate in the ancient ruins.
Although the Nie family was a trading family, with an existence like Nie Dingtian, if you said that you were not qualified to participate, then who was?
Moreover, since ancient times, the Nie family had a trace of information about the ancient ruins.
As early as when Nie Dingtian was young, he had entered the ancient ruins. At that time, he and other capable people from the same era had only explored the outer area of the ancient ruins.
This time, the ancient ruins had been opened. They had to go deep into the ancient ruins.
At the same time, not only was Nie Dingtian having these thoughts, but also the other old monsters.
At the same time, there were also some elders in various parts of the great desolate region. Behind them, one or two young people followed the elders and slowly headed in a certain direction.
In Central Plains City, Su Yi followed Nie Dingtian to the largest teleportation array in Central Plains City.
“Senior Nie, are we going to take that teleportation array?”
Looking at the teleportation array in front of him, he could not help but ask.
The teleportation array could go to many places, but it was also a place where cultivators gathered. Could it be that the ancient ruins were in those secret cultivation places?
He thought of the forbidden place in Demon Subduing Mountain. That time, it was a secret cultivation place, right?
Unexpectedly, Old Master Nie patted his head and said, “are you stupid? How can the place that the teleportation array can reach be called an ancient ruins?”
After saying this, the old man rolled his eyes at him. Nie Ling could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Nie Ling went forward and looked at Su Yi gently.
“Fellow Daoist Su, don’t mind him. Grandfather is like this. Although his personality is a little strange, he doesn’t have any bad intentions.”
“Is, is that so?”
After hearing what Nie Ling said, he replied with uncertainty. At the same time, his right hand touched his handsome head. At this moment, he could still feel a faint pain coming from his head.
At this time, Nie Dingtian had already walked into the teleportation array and urged him, “stop wasting time. Hurry up. I don’t want to meet those old guys on the way.”
Hearing this, he and Nie Ling walked into the teleportation array in Central Plains City. Nie Dingtian waved his hand and chose his destination.
“Target, the northern region of the great desolate.”
After successfully locking on to his destination, the teleportation array began to operate slowly. One by one, the array patterns began to spread out.
The three people in the array transformed into a streak of light that shot through the sky and headed toward the northern region of the great desolate.
