Chapter 429 - The Place of Mind
Nie Feng was suspicious, "Why do you know the purpose of my visit, and why are you so confident about it, and who gave you the courage to do so? Tonight, I saw the last stronghold of the World Conference being destroyed, with no more our people.
Seeing Duan Lang, Nie Feng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He had never believed that Duan Lang was the person who betrayed the World Conference, so he had never questioned why Duan Lang had appeared near the Unparalleled City safe and sound.
"If it was me, I naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly, but now, with Gongzi Ling's help, we have to take down the Unparalleled City." Duan Lang said with a serious expression.
Nie Feng couldn't help but recall what had happened on the cliff back then. That Ling Xiao's strange movement technique and powerful strength had easily defeated the three of them, and his heart became much more clear.
"To be honest, I met Ling Xiao tonight, but …"
"But what?" Duan Lang asked.
Nie Feng continued to speak: "When I saw that someone wanted to kill our spy, I wanted to save him, but since Ling Xiao appeared, he insisted on protecting that person and told me to stop. I knew that I couldn't beat him, so I gave up."
"What?" There's actually such a thing. " Duan Lang was startled, then said with a calm face: "Nie Feng, maybe we are overthinking things, and Gongzi Ling wanted to gain Unparalleled City's trust, so we decided to stop him, and that way we can move more freely."
Hearing this explanation, Nie Feng could not help but nod his head, "So that's how it is."
"It's getting late, I need to hurry back to avoid any suspicions from the Unparalleled City." Duan Lang said.
Nie Feng nodded: "Alright, then I'll wait here for your news."
"Farewell!" Duan Lang did not stay and quickly left.
Inside Unparalleled City, Miss Mingyue sat quietly at the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky. Her mind was filled with countless thoughts, and the only thing that could not be forgotten was the handsome youth's figure.
The door was pushed open, bringing with it a gust of night wind, but it did not disturb the dazed Lady Mingyue.
"What's wrong, Brightmoon? What are you thinking about?" When maternal grandma saw him enter, Mingyue did not greet him respectfully and could not help but frown, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Mingyue then woke up from her stupor and hurriedly got up to maternal grandma's side. She held her hands and said: "I'm sorry, maternal grandma."
After sitting down, maternal grandma asked: "Tell maternal grandma, did you take a fancy to that young man?"
Hearing that, Ming Yue Guang immediately became bashful: "maternal grandma, what are you talking about?"
"Hmph, you're the one I brought up to. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" maternal grandma snorted coldly.
Then he continued to speak: "However, I will be the first to say all that, don't think about anything useless, tomorrow Unparalleled City will bring his son to propose to you, don't let anything go wrong, you will throw my face."
Hearing maternal grandma's warning, Mingyue's face immediately turned pale white. In truth, he didn't even like Dugu Ming in his heart, because if Ling Xiao didn't appear, then he might have agreed on behalf of maternal grandma.
But now, Ling Xiao's appearance had given her a goal.
"maternal grandma... I don't like Dugu Ming. " Thinking about it, Mingyue finally clenched her teeth and said it out.
Hearing that, the maternal grandma was enraged, he immediately slapped Lady Mingyue's face.
"Bastard!" It's growing up, right? Its wings are becoming hard, right? "
How could Miss Mingyue have suffered such injustice? She immediately began to cry.
"Humph, if something were to happen to you tomorrow, I will let you know the consequences!" The maternal grandma was also infuriatehehe did not want to say more, so he stood up and left the room. Before he left, she slammed the door shut, shocking Lady Mingyue to the point that her heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps … He shouldn't have such thoughts.
Lady Mingyue was so tired from crying that she sat by the window once again and mumbled in a daze, "Maybe this is my fate. I shouldn't have any selfish thoughts."
"Oh? It is truly astonishing that the goddess-like Miss Brightmoon actually has such selfishness, just like a mortal would. " A lazy voice suddenly came from outside the window, startling Lady Mingyue.
"Who is it!" Lady Mingyue stood up warily.
"Aiyaya, you forgot about me just like that. It makes my heart ache." Ling Xiao still did not appear, and said with a slightly sad tone.
Miss Mingyue listened carefully and said in surprise, "It's you, Gongzi Ling!"
"Miss Mingyue, it's so good to be able to remember me. What? Aren't you going to invite me in?" Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
Lady Mingyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Come in quickly."
With that, Miss Mingyue stood up and opened the door, allowing Ling Xiao to enter.
"Why is Lady Mingyue crying? Who dares to bully you, I will definitely not forgive him." Ling Xiao said angrily as he reached out his hand to wipe Lady Mingyue's tear stains.
Ling Xiao's actions caused Miss Mingyue to feel apprehensive, both surprised and happy. She liked this feeling a lot, maybe this was what it felt like to be in love with someone.
This was the first time in her life that Lady Mingyue had shown such emotion.
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Miss Mingyue's face immediately turned sorrowful. She sat on the chair and sighed heavily.
"Don't bother yourself with this matter. Actually, you shouldn't have come here. If my maternal grandma were to find out, you would be in danger." Lady Mingyue reminded him.
Ling Xiao laughed lightly: "Oh really, looks like your maternal grandma is very powerful."
Miss Mingyue nodded her head repeatedly. "Yes, she is very powerful. You must be careful!"
"Then I will follow your maternal grandma all the way here. I didn't see her discover it, you must be spouting nonsense." Ling Xiao squinted his eyes and laughed.
Hearing this, Lady Mingyue was stunned, unable to believe it.
"Hehe, I just wanted to see Lady Mingyue. I miss her so much when I don't see her later. I will come back often in the future." Ling Xiao stood up and said: "Tomorrow, if you don't like him, then find a reason to stall for time. As for the other things, I will help you settle them."
"See you another time." With that, Ling Xiao jumped out of the window and disappeared.
Seeing Ling Xiao leave, he immediately ran to the window and looked out. However, he discovered that he had already disappeared, and was flying away like a bird.
"Find a reason to delay …" Is it really of any use? " Lady Mingyue raised her head to look at the sky and was stunned once again.
"Gongzi Ling, did you really come looking for me because you wanted to see me?"
"Is it true that you said you want to visit me more often?"
"You said before that you were willing to devote your life to me, is that true …"
After just a single meeting, the young girl had already found her heart's desire.
