Chapter 41: The Unreasonable Divine Nun! (Please follow!)

~8 min read 1,549 words

【Ci Yun Shen Ni Liuli】 Just as Ning Mu landed.

Suddenly.

Not far away, five or six slouching youths immediately pointed at him and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... look at that silly kid, he doesn't even know how to ride a horse!"

"Dressed so well, yet can't ride a horse; he must be an idiot, right?"

"..."

After Ning Mu stood up, he looked back at them, his brows slightly raised.

These few people had been following him ever since he left the vicinity of Ye Fu and exited Jinshui Town.

Heh.

Is this all the petty tricks Feng Zhien has?

I thought it would be some major trap.

It's just this kind of hackneyed, toothless conspiracy.

Find a few thugs to teach him a lesson, and he conveniently has an alibi.

A nice thought.

Ning Mu glanced into the distance at Ci Yun Shen Ni Liuli, who was frequently casting her gaze this way, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. Without another word, he immediately feigned indignation and began cursing at them.

"Son of a bitch, want to try laughing again?"

Among the five or six youths, the leader named Zhao Da was momentarily stunned.

He had originally planned to arrange for his men to pretend to be tripped by Ning Mu's horse, then use that as an excuse to give this kid a sound beating.

After all, Master Feng had said there was no need to kill him, but he must be beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

What he didn't expect was that this kid would actually deliver himself to their doorstep!

In that case, don't blame his brothers for being impolite!

Immediately.

Zhao Da sneered and waved his hand lazily, a piece of dogtail grass hanging from his mouth. The five or six men revealed sinister smiles and surrounded Ning Mu.

"This dog thing dares to call us sons of bitches. Brothers, shall we greet him?"

"Hahaha, let's greet him!"

As Zhao Da spoke, they all drew sharp scimitars from behind their waists.

The baleful aura radiating from their eyes showed at a glance that they were no ordinary people.

Looking at the stances they took, it was clear this group of thugs were all martial practitioners.

"Young Master!"

Lao Zhangtou's face showed terror as he rushed over to protect Ning Mu behind him.

His attachment to Ning Mu had never been just because of Ning Mu's sudden change in status; he had always regarded him as his own son.

"It's alright, Head Zhang."

Ning Mu smiled and waved his hand, signaling Lao Zhangtou to step aside.

It just so happened that he had never truly fought since so long ago, and he hadn't yet tested his strength in the Qi Sensing Realm! Drawing his saber and spinning it into a flourish, Ning Mu looked at Zhao Da and the others and said calmly, "Come on, don't let your master down."

Zhao Da's eyes flickered with panic for a moment.

But immediately, he waved his hand and said viciously, "Brothers, attack!"

As the words fell, he was the first to charge, slashing his scimitar toward Ning Mu's face.

But just at this moment.

Suddenly.

A female voice filled with compassionate Buddhist nature rang out abruptly, lingering in everyone's ears.

"Goodness, for the sake of this nun, I ask you all not to resort to violence!"

Yikes! Zhao Da and the others stopped in their tracks, looking around in shock.

Ning Mu covered his forehead.

His face was full of helplessness.

Damn.

Can't even have a fight!

This nun is such a busybody!

Ning Mu grumbled inwardly, but on the surface, he maintained a respectful appearance.

"Senior, why trouble yourself with such a trivial matter? This junior can handle it himself." Ning Mu smiled humbly.

He still hadn't given up. He wanted to have a fight to test his strength.

"Old nun, who the hell are you? Get lost, don't get blood splattered all over you!"

One of Zhao Da's underlings brandished his blade and cursed at Liuli.

Liuli, who was walking slowly while holding her Whisk, remained expressionless. She simply gave the Whisk in her hand a light flick, and the underling was immediately forced to drop his blade, covering his mouth with both hands. His expression was one of extreme terror, his eyes wide and bloodshot, filled with deep fear.

"This benefactor must not speak recklessly."

After giving the man a small punishment, Liuli turned to look at Ning Mu, "Little Friend Ning, they are no match for you, so why do you need to be angry?"

Ning Mu shrugged helplessly, feeling listless.

Seeing Ning Mu's attitude, Liuli couldn't help but smile gently, then looked at Zhao Da and the others, pressing her palms together and saying, "Benefactors, please give this nun a little face and let it end here!"

Looking at the miserable state of his underling who was clutching his mouth, and then at the bored-looking Ning Mu.

Zhao Da gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Sorry, nun, but I was entrusted by others to do a job. This kid must get a beating today!"

"Brothers, charge!"

Before his voice had even faded, he took the lead, raised his blade, and charged toward Ning Mu.

Ning Mu was completely unprepared, even leaning sideways against his saddle.

"Sigh... how virtuous, how virtuous!"

Thump, thump, thump...

Accompanied by Liuli shaking her head, her Whisk swung out.

In an instant.

A surging wave of Qi rose up, sending all five or six men who had swarmed up to beat him flying backward three or five zhang away.

Wails of agony immediately rose up from all around.

"Headman Zhang, paper and brush."

Ning Mu snapped his fingers at Old Zhang, then walked straight toward Zhao Da.

Clutching his chest with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Da stared at Liuli in sheer terror.

Seeing Ning Mu closing in, he was so frightened that he kept shuffling backward.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hit you."

"Be good. Who instigated you, what were you told to do, and how much of a bribe did you take? Write it all down, then sign and press your thumbprint. Once you're done, you can leave."

Ning Mu squatted down, looked at Zhao Da, and revealed a warm smile.

Zhao Da was utterly shocked.

He still wanted to resist.

But when he saw Liuli's calm, ripple-free gaze cast toward him, he immediately cowered.

"I'll write, I'll write right away!"

He was merely in the Opening Aperture Realm, barely scraping by by hanging around the casinos in Jinshui Town.

Two days ago, someone had introduced him.

Master Feng from Cangjian Villa had suddenly found him and asked him to take care of someone; he immediately realized that his days of rising to success had arrived.

Almost the entire Jinshui Town relied on the Ye Family of Cangjian Villa for their livelihood.

To be able to establish a connection with the Senior Brother of Cangjian Villa was simply a stroke of immense luck!

He had thought it was just a small matter, and that Master Feng just found it inconvenient to show his face.

But looking at it now, how could this be a small matter! This was simply a disaster as heavy as the sky collapsing! Offending Master Feng might still leave him with his life.

But if he offended this "unreasonable" nun, he feared he would have to go down and meet the Buddha right now.

"You, come here!"

Taking the paper and brush, and finding it inconvenient to write on the grass, Zhao Da hurriedly kicked one of his subordinates in front of him, made him come over to use his back as a desk for the paper, and then wrote everything down in detail, without missing a single word.

After finishing, he signed and pressed his thumbprint.

With everything settled, he waited for the ink to dry, then respectfully handed it over with both hands and said with a fawning smile, "I am truly sorry, Master. I have already written it all down. We will roll away now, we will roll away right now..."

Ning Mu took it and glanced over it.

Just as expected, it was indeed Feng Zhien's doing.

Although he used the alias Feng Shikou, who in all of Jinshui Town didn't know that the Senior Brother of Cangjian Villa was named Feng Zhien? Ning Mu looked at Zhao Da and said, "Don't roll too far away. If I ask you to go and identify him, will you still be able to recognize this so-called Feng Shikou?"

Zhao Da hurriedly nodded and bowed: "I recognize him, I recognize him. Isn't he the Senior Brother of Cangjian Villa? His name is like thunder to the ears, how could I not recognize him? It's just..."

Zhao Da wore a mournful face and said aggrievedly, "Master, if this lowly one identifies him, I fear I won't live much longer!"

"No matter." Ning Mu waved his hand, and while putting away the confession, he said casually, "This senior is called Divine Nun Ciyun. You can go and ask around in the Jianghu; she is a master at the half-step Divine Origin realm. Would he, Feng Zhien, dare to act recklessly?"
