Chapter 195: Ning Wuji’s Thoughts (2/2)

“Aish! Forget it. In any case, the matter has already passed and we missed this opportunity forever. In the future, if we were to meet these people again, we have to be extra cautious. Today, we have already revealed ourselves, so sooner or later, they will look for us to get their revenge,” Gao Fei said gloomily. Originally, they wanted to capture the fish, but in the end, they failed to capture it and were targeted by the fish instead. Was there anything that could be more depressing than this? Actually, the Gao brothers had guessed some of Ning Wuji’s intentions. However, they were unable to guess the specific reason.

Ning Wuji was not acquainted with Cheng Yu at all. The reason why he did not allow Cheng Yu to become the scapegoat was because he always cherished talents. His own daughter was a well-known figure in the younger generation. Even though she could not be compared with some of the younger generation geniuses in Kunlun, she still managed to reach Foundation Establishment Realm middle stage at the age of 20. Such aptitude was absolutely decent.

However, when he saw Cheng Yu, he had truly been surprised. He was unable to tell Cheng Yu’s age, but he was able to tell that Cheng Yu was not old. At such a young age, he had attained a cultivation of Foundation Establishment Realm late stage, and he was not any ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm late stage cultivator. Just by the performance he displayed now, his strength was basically unrivalled among all the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the Cultivation World.

However, Cheng Yu might be very powerful, but he did not possess the ability to stand against Golden Core Realm experts. Therefore, Ning Wuji did not want Cheng Yu to become the scapegoat for the Gao Brothers. Kunlun would respond by sending out their Golden Core Realm experts to deal with Cheng Yu. Ning Wuji did it to prevent a genius from dying like that. He wished to see how far this youth could go. Cultivators emphasized destiny. Ning Wuji had already been in the Golden Core Realm for a hundred years, but there were still no signs of his core turning into an infant.

He had no idea if such a day would come. This might depend on opportunity. But where could he find such an opportunity, no one knew. For Cheng Yu to possess such strength at such a young age, he could unconditionally be regarded as someone who was extremely lucky. To have tied in good karma with such a person might be the opportunity he was looking for.

And at this moment, the seriously injured Cheng Yu laid on the flying sword as he swayed and ascended the tree. The suffering Cheng Yu vomited another two mouthfuls of blood. After that, with a bang, he dropped from the tree. However, Cheng Yu did not fall to the ground, but was caught by tree branches. Cheng Yu fainted immediately while the blood continued to flow out of his mouth slowly.

“Dad, your daughter only returns once in a while. Where did you run off to?” Ning Wuji had just returned home when he saw his daughter acting coquettishly as she ran over to his side.

“Haha! You little lass. How old are you already and you are still acting like a little girl. How many days will you be back for?” When he saw his daughter, Ning Wuji’s heart was also very happy. His daughter had always been his only concern. To be able to see his daughter being so happy, nothing was more enjoyable than this.

“Heh heh. This time, Teacher allowed me to return home for a month. After I return, Teacher will get me to enter seclusion. Teacher said that before I reached Foundation Establishment Realm late stage, I am not allowed to leave,” Ning Wushuang said in a somewhat happy yet depressing manner.

“Oh? Don’t tell me that your strength improved so tremendously for the past two years and is about to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm late stage?” When Ning Wuji heard his daughter’s words, he asked joyfully.

“I am not sure. That’s what Teacher told me,” Ning Wushuang shook her head and replied.

“Good! I believe Flower Valley Master would not speak without thinking. Wushuang, you must cultivate properly. I believe that with your aptitude, you would form your golden core within a hundred years,” Ning Wuji smiled and said. Ning Wuji had placed lots of hope in Ning Wushuang.

“I also hope that the day would come earlier. Dad, I met a strange person today. He was merely a Foundation Establishment Realm late stage cultivator, but he was able to withstand several similar cultivation level experts and also dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm middle stage and initial stage experts,” When she heard her father mentioning cultivation, Ning Wushuang suddenly remembered that mysterious lewd thief.

“Oh? There’s such a thing? Do you know him?” Ning Wuji naturally knew that his daughter was talking about Cheng Yu. At that time, when he had followed the group of Kunlun people and found Cheng Yu, the first thing he saw was his own daughter over there. When he saw his daughter’s furious expression, he also wished to know what had exactly happened between them, but he still chose to endure it. He quietly looked at the whole battle, from the start to end.

Now that his daughter had returned, it was not appropriate for him to ask first as it would expose that he was there during the fight. Thus, he acted like he had no idea as he casually inquired what had happened between them.

“I…how can I possibly be acquainted with that lewd thief?” When she heard her father’s words, Ning Wushuang denied it hastily.

“Lewd thief? What did he do to you? I’m going to kill him!” Ning Wuji heard his daughter calling Cheng Yu lewd thief, and his face immediately turned angry as he said.

The anger contained some artificial emotions hidden. What was artificial was that he was able to tell that his daughter was still undefiled and when he had seen Cheng Yu just now, he did not feel that he was a wicked person. What was real was that his daughter was his baby, and if Cheng Yu really dared to do those things to Ning Wushuang, even though he really appreciated and thought very highly of Cheng Yu, he would still kill him.

However, Ning Wushuang did not know about the artificial feelings inside her father’s anger and had truly been frightened by it. Her father had a Golden Core Realm late stage cultivation. Regardless of how powerful Cheng Yu was, how could he possibly defend a strike from a Golden Core Realm late stage expert?

In the moment of desperation, Ning Wushuang quickly explained herself, ”No no no, Dad, it’s not like that. You must not misunderstand!”
