。mega fell asleep 。He leaned against Alha's chest, his whole body enveloped in Alha's pheromones. 。So intense it feels like, if not for mega's signature scent being so obvious, you could smell his ph...Seeing Cang Ming again, Ning Shu inevitably thought of what had happened in the secret realm. She felt a bit awkward now, but she also asked with some confusion: "Cang Ming, was it your master who let you out"

Cang Ming's handsome face was extremely cold: "Of course not, I snuck out." As he spoke, his light-colored pupils never left the boy.

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, Cang Ming's expression on the opposite side changed abruptly.

The air around him grew frigid, and he stared at her with a cold face. "Where is your yang energy"

Ning Shu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, he raised his eyes and looked over.

"... She pursed her lips and said, “Why ask when you already know the answer”"

" Cang Ming's face grew even colder. He reached out and grabbed the youth's arm. "Why do I ask knowing the answer In such a short time, you've lost even your Yuan Yang. Who is this person"

Ning Shu felt a little baffled, and a hint of annoyance appeared on her face.

And there was a rage of shame.

He felt that Cang Ming was asking knowingly, and still had to use this method to remind him. Ning Shu took a deep breath, thinking that Cang Ming was also implicated because of him, he couldn't help but mutter: "Cang Ming, don't tease me anymore. You know it's because of the snake venom that we..."

“Us” Across from him, Cang Ming sensed something was amiss, his expression growing dark.

"You're saying the one who took your essence was me" he asked the young man before him, his voice flat.

Ning Shu couldn't help but correct, "It's because he was poisoned by a snake that he became like this." He felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had been discovered by his master just now, and now he was being teased by Cang Ming like this. His expression became cold: "It's getting late, you should go back to the restricted area earlier. Otherwise, if Master finds out, it will be troublesome..."

Cang Ming remained silent, he gripped the Azure Nothing.

He looked cold and said after a while, "That wasn't me."

Ning Shu widened her eyes slightly and looked over, asking: "…It's not you, then who is it" He frowned slightly, it was clearly Cang Ming, how could it be someone else

Cang Ming lowered his gaze and looked at him, saying coldly, “It was me, but it wasn’t me.”

He paused and warned, "Did Si Kong Hengyu just come by"

He sensed the aura of the original body, very familiar, unmistakable.

Ning Shu was a little dazed, not knowing where he had heard it from, so he nodded and said, “Master just came here.”

Cang Ming's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

He was merely a fraction of Si Kong Heng Yu's emotions, drawn out when he was only eighteen and at the Golden Core stage. Compared to the current emotionless and desireless Divine Sovereign, who was as cold as a god, he was naturally different.

It was clearly Si Kong Hengyu who disguised himself as him and went to the secret realm with the young man. Then, he leaked his Yuan Yang, but Cang Ming didn't know that Si Kong Hengyu had also leaked his Yuan Yang.

He couldn't possibly be unaware that his own essence was more rare than that of any other cultivator.

If Cang Ming were the one, he wouldn't waste it like this. He would have given it to the young man.

Cang Ming is just an entity without a physical form. Since Si Kong Hengyu lost his Yuan Yang, he naturally wouldn't have one either.

Cang Ming stared at the person in front of him and suddenly said, "Has Si Kong Hengyu ever done anything inappropriate to you"

Ning Shu was bewildered, he shook his head and said, "Master treats me very well."

However, Cang Ming didn't believe it. He had already said so. If Si Kong Hengyu hadn't harbored any ulterior motives, he wouldn't have been attracted to the young man. Naturally, nothing of what happened later would have occurred. And now, Si Kong Hengyu's main body also possessed ulterior motives, coupled with his influence.

Of course, he wouldn't treat Ning Shu like he used to.

Cang Ming was very clear, Si Kong Heng Yu's surface showed no emotion or desire. But in his bones, he was hypocritical and despicable.

Otherwise, how could he use his own skin

Because Sikong Hengyu dared not use his true form, he feared the young man would run far away. Having thought everything through, Cang Ming said with a cold expression: "I advise you, stay away from him. He is not as good as you imagine."

This wasn't the first time Ning Shu had heard Cang Ming say such things, and he was deeply angered at first. But when he thought about how Cang Ming had helped him everywhere in the secret realm, though it was his Shizun's guidance, the other party had also saved his life.

He thought for a moment and said, “I know very well how my master feels about me. Cang Ming, I don't know what misunderstanding you have about him, but I still hope that you won't speak ill of him in front of me in the future.”

But Cang Ming suddenly said, "Why don't you believe me You would rather believe Si Kong Hengyu than me. What is the difference between me and him"

Ning Shu only felt strange.

This is the second time Cang Ming has said that there's a difference between him and his master.

He whispered, "Because he is my master, you are my... dearest friend."

Ning Shu originally thought that after he said these words, Cang Ming might feel some relief, but unexpectedly, the other party stood still, staring at him with a cold expression. Then, clutching the sword in his hand, he said: "I'm no different from him."

"Why don't you try to believe me a little"

Ning Shu looked at him like this, her heart couldn't help but soften. She spoke in a gentle voice: "If you don't say such strange things in the future, I'll believe you."

Cang Ming's face was rather ugly as he turned around and left directly.

Ning Shu didn't know why he was angry, she just looked at the boy's figure with a bit of confusion, as he melted into the night.

.....

Upon the icy steps of white jade, the hall stood cold and desolate.

When Cang Ming came back, all he saw was Si Kong Hengyu who was seated at the top.

Their emotionless eyes met his, and in a calm voice they said, "You're back."

Cang Ming stood on the spot and suddenly said, "You're nothing but a hypocrite. You actually let him leak his yang energy. I don't know that you were so selfish."

Sikong Heng's gaze was lowered, his words carrying the chill of frost and snow: "Whether or not he possesses a primordial yang, how does it matter In your opinion, how many years will it take for him to ascend And how many years will it take him to enter the Nascent Soul stage"

Cang Ming remained silent. Sikong Hengyu's words were indeed correct.

But he still wore a cold expression and said, "You've done something good. Standing in my place, you really should let him see your true self." Cang Ming said with a hint of sarcasm, "The legendary cold and emotionless God No Zun, yet he yearns for his disciple in his heart."

Siku Heng's face was icy and emotionless, but his shallow pupils looked down: "Cang Ming, you are nothing but a thread of affection I pulled out." His tone was light. "Don't forget, you and I are one."

"If you go to see him like this again..."

Chang Ming's expression was also icy cold. He was indeed Si Kong Heng Yu's beloved. Since Si Kong Heng Yu had ulterior motives, he would soon slowly return to his true form.

There was just a hint of unwillingness deep down in my heart.

Despite his unwillingness to show it to the young man, he still hoped that Ning Shu would understand that he and Si Kong Hengyu were different in some ways.

Cang Ming heard this, raised his eyes, and said lightly: "Are you afraid that he will know who I am, and then ruin the image of your good master"

"Sikong Hengyu, you have suffered all the benefits, even not letting go of a single sword tassel."

"Don't forget, it was "Cang Ming" who was close to him in the secret realm, not you, his master."

....

"Master Ning."

Wherever Ning Shu went, many disciples greeted him with some respect.

But he also knew that although these disciples appeared respectful on the surface, they still harbored some doubts in private. After all, during the last trip to the secret realm, Ning Shu, as the master's disciple, was not the most outstanding.

Ning Shu's heart was also very uncomfortable.

He always hoped that his cultivation could be faster, precisely because of this, he met with the bottleneck.

"What are you doing, kid Get a move on." Several voices drew the boy's attention away.

Ning Shu looked up and saw several disciples gathered together. Each of them was holding some books in their hands, and the disciple at the back had a pile of books stacked high in his arms.

It looked rather strained, and the books were swaying precariously, but nobody came forward to help.

Ning Shu only glanced at him, originally intending to retract his gaze. But he happened to catch the other person's eye as they turned around, and saw a handsome and familiar face.

It turned out to be Zhao Rang, whom I had met only briefly in the secret realm.

Ning Shu was a little surprised, he walked over. He walked up to Zhao Rang's front.

Several disciples also saw him and quickly called out, "Uncle Ning."

Ning Shu knew that if he spoke up for Zhao Rang at this time, it might have the opposite effect. So he just nodded and asked, "Where are these books going to be moved"

One of the disciples hesitated for a moment before replying, “The library.”

They looked at each other in surprise. Could Master Ning know this wastrel

Ning Shu heard their words and raised her hand. She took some books from Zhao Rang's hands and then said, "I'm going there anyway, might as well help out."

Zhao Rang couldn't see that the young man was helping him. His heart beat wildly, and he blushed slightly as he said, "Thank you, Master Ning."

He stared blankly at the person in front of him, wondering why they had helped him time and time again.

Ning Shu was different from him. The other party was a disciple of the God Venerable, how could he repeatedly help him, this waste

Ning Shu didn't know what Zhao Rang was thinking at this moment. He just couldn't stand seeing these people bully Zhao Rang. It was also fate, being able to pull him once meant pulling him once.

Yet, unbeknownst to him, several of his disciples were inwardly shocked. Their gaze toward Zhao Rang was no longer the same.

Ning Shu went to the library with Zhao Rang.

He pondered for a moment and said, "…Why is Xuezi gone, yet they still treat you this way"

"Zhao Rang's heart was bitter: 'Because I have poor aptitude and low cultivation..."

He gazed into the youth's clear eyes, momentarily unable to look away. He didn't know what this feeling was, only that his heart felt a sudden surge of heat... as if it were about to leap from his chest: "Master Ning, why did you help me" said. 。Two people stayed in the room for a while, and before Liu Shen came back, Zheng Feng left. 。I unconsciously clenched my fist. 。I usually endure it, but now even Ning Shu isn't giving me a woma...
