Chapter 125 Meeting Master Chen and Drinking Tea
"What is this?!" Hongying, who was about to break through to the Chuan realm, felt the rising aura of the condensed ice and her eyes instantly became serious.
"The aura of the Sea Realm!!" Zhao Kongcheng's expression was equally solemn. Last year, they had fought against Han Shaoyun of the Sea Realm. Although they had only exchanged blows a few times, the powerful aura of the Sea Realm was still fresh in Zhao Kongcheng's memory.
Seeing that both of them were shocked by Ning Bing's gradually rising aura, Ling Yue slowly explained:
"Let me repeat: Her name is Ningbing. Her true form is a sea dragon with fiery veins. By chance, I subdued her, and she is now my subordinate."
Ling Yue was secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained calm as he introduced the two of them.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was speechless. He didn't know how many times Yue Ge could put on this act, but just by putting himself in Yue Ge's shoes, he could feel that Yue Ge must be feeling really good!
"Sea Realm?!"
"Flame Vein Earth Dragon!?" Zhao Kongcheng and Hongying both gaped open, repeating incredulously.
"Hmm, a mere Sea Realm cultivator. I can destroy them with a flick of my finger now." Ling Yue snapped his fingers arrogantly, and Ning Bing's fully risen mid-Sea Realm aura was completely wiped out by Ling Yue's snap.
"Master is so amazing!!" Unaware of the situation, Ningbing's eyes lit up with admiration as she looked at Ling Yue, completely unaware that it was her Five Element Locks that were shining.
Glug-glug
Zhao Kongcheng and Hongying swallowed hard, one after the other, and Hongying's previous prejudice against Ling Yue's scumbag behavior immediately disappeared.
"Ahem, actually I noticed something was wrong with Ningbing a long time ago... Look at Ningbing's vertical pupils, her clothes, the Five Elements Lock on her wrist... all of these indicate that something is wrong with her!" Zhao Kongcheng's belated but timely advice came true.
Lin Qiye was speechless and could only roll his eyes to express his contempt for him. He was the one who had just told Zhao Kongcheng in secret, but he didn't expect Zhao Kongcheng to put it into practice so quickly.
Hongying realized she had misunderstood Ling Yue and scratched her head sheepishly, "I... I misunderstood you just now..."
Seeing Hongying apologize, Ling Yue, who wasn't angry to begin with, simply laughed it off: "It's alright, it was my fault for not explaining things clearly in time. It's understandable that you misunderstood me."
After receiving Ling Yue's forgiveness, Hong Ying transformed back into her lively and spirited youth: "I've heard of the Flame Vein Earth Dragon before; its ability is to control flames and magma, but naming her Frozen Ice... is that...?"
Knowing the abilities of the Flame Vein Earth Dragon and then hearing Ning Bing's name, Hong Ying felt a strange sensation welling up inside her.
"Ningbing thought so at first, but she got used to it later." Ling Yue could only say that this was the value of a naming genius, something ordinary people simply couldn't understand.
"By the way, the reason why Lao Zhao and I came this time is because someone else is handling a case, and a human expert has already come here!" After confirming that Ning Bing had no objection to the name, Hong Ying finally said what she had been holding back for a long time.
"The ceiling of humanity?" Lin Qiye asked in confusion.
"Yes, it should be Master. Moreover, the reason why he came to Cangnan is unclear, but the fact that he was able to mobilize the ceiling of humanity is definitely not simple."
While everyone was talking, they arrived at the Peace Agency.
"Let's go, let's get out of the car." Zhao Kongcheng stopped the car, called out, and then got out at lightning speed, rushing towards the Peace Agency as if he had something important to do.
At this moment, Ling Yue suddenly felt a strange sense of being watched around him and Ning Bing. Ling Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, then took Ning Bing's hand and said, "You two go in first, I'll go buy Ning Bing some clothes."
"Okay." Lin Qiye nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing about buying clothes, Hongying's eyes immediately lit up with a strange light: "Buy clothes?! I want to go too!"
Ling Yue felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. Putting aside the fact that his main purpose this time was not to buy clothes, even if his purpose was to buy clothes, he couldn't let Hong Ying come along. What if Hong Ying suddenly got carried away while shopping and bought him a piece of clothing? That would really be a disaster.
So Ling Yue quickly shooed Hong Ying away: "Next time, this time just buy one or two items for Ning Bing."
"Okay, then you must invite me next time!" Hongying didn't follow any further, but she didn't forget to repeat the sentence before leaving.
"Mmm." Ling Yue casually agreed, then took Ning Bing's hand and walked into the shadows.
Soon after.
"Come out." Ling Yue took Ning Bing's hand and walked into a secluded alley, speaking with his back to the alley entrance.
"Hehe, you still dare to come out and face me alone after sensing a powerful aura. I don't know if you're brave or just not thinking things through." The sound of a carriage wheel rolling came from behind, and a kind voice rang out from inside the carriage.
Ling Yue turned around with Ning Bing and looked at a child sitting in front of the carriage. A slight smile appeared on his lips: "It really is you, Master!"
Master Chen was somewhat surprised that Ling Yue had anticipated this, and then disappeared: "Come in, let's talk face to face."
Ling Yue remained silent, then took Ning Bing's hand and led her into the carriage.
Upon closer inspection, the carriage, which appeared much larger from the outside, was now surrounded by walls lined with ancient books and bamboo slips, giving it a distinctly historical feel.
Looking closer, the texture of the wooden walls of the carriage emitted a soft glow, quite extraordinary. An elderly man with a full head of white hair sat prominently at a low table, on which sat a set of what appeared to be an extraordinary tea set, emitting a delicate fragrance. Beside the old man was a book.
"Sit wherever you like, I don't need to follow so many rules." The teacher looked at Ningbing with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but being a man of many experiences, he did not lose his composure and simply nodded to Ningbing.
Seeing this, Ningbing also tilted her head and stared blankly at him.
Ling Yue took Ning Bing's hand and sat down with her opposite the teacher. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a line of text prominently displayed at the top center of the book beside the teacher: "The Legendary Life of GGB (Self-Compiled Edition)".
Ling Yue: ......
Seemingly aware of Ling Yue's silence, Master Chen took the initiative to put the book he was holding back on the bookshelf.
"Come, have some tea." Master Chen poured a cup of tea for Ling Yue and Ning Bing, raising his own teacup in the process.
Ling Yue calmly picked up the tea that Master Chen had poured and returned the toast. He then downed it in one gulp.
"Hmm~! This tea... doesn't taste good." Ling Yue thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words to praise it, so he told the truth.
Master Chen found it somewhat amusing, put down his teacup, and said with a smile, "This tea of mine is of the finest quality, a rare find in the world, and I poured it myself. Most people, even if they lived their entire lives, would never get to taste a sip of it."
Ling Yue nodded and downed the teacup beside Ning Bing in one gulp. He said firmly, "Indeed, but I only like what I think, I don't care about other people's opinions, and I care even less about the majority. So when I say this tea isn't good, it simply isn't good to me!"
Then Ling Yue gently placed the cup in his hand on the low table without making a sound, but did not put the teacup back in its original position.
Seeing Ling Yue's behavior, Master Chen's eyes showed a hint of appreciation: "Then what kind of tea do you think tastes good?"
