Chapter 84: 84 It's Pusa Xiaoman! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Inside the room.
Liu Qingmei sat on the bed, smoothing her face, quietly waiting for the dew on her skin to dry, while listening to Jiang Fuling's account from outside.
She could not help but sigh.
What was meant to come would eventually come.
Even if she had disregarded her mission that day and killed the former Demon Sect enchantress Pusa Xiaoman, the Blood Lotus Sect's revenge would still come; it was merely a matter of time.
After all.
The behemoth that was Hua Man Ge stood right in the territory of Yonghang, and it was very famous.
She could not just slaughter the entire Hua Man Ge for the sake of her and Ning Mu's safety!
If she truly did that, how would she be any different from the Demon Sect? Moreover, the benefits that Hua Man Ge could bring were extraordinary; to rashly eliminate it would be a loss outweighing the gain.
And with the existence of Hua Man Ge, it was only natural for the Blood Lotus Sect to uncover the truth; there was simply no way to cover it up.
"Young Master, why don't you avoid them for now? I heard that the person leading the Blood Lotus Sect this time is the daughter of their Elder. There are over a dozen people in total, and they don't look weak. I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with..."
Jiang Fuling tried her best to persuade Ning Mu, hoping he would leave first.
In truth, she had been very subtle! She was afraid Young Master Ning would mistake her for looking down on his strength! The people from the Blood Lotus Sect had completely taken control of the entire Hua Man Ge in an instant, before Ji Siniang and the others could even react.
She had just happened to be cooling off on the roof, daydreaming about a beautiful future and the good fortune of being able to serve by Young Master Ning's side, which was why she had luckily escaped disaster.
After discovering something was wrong, she had hurried over to report the news.
Young Master Ning's great kindness made her willing to die rather than let Ning Mu walk into danger! "Call Xiaoxiu over!"
Ning Mu looked at Chunzhi, who was standing by to serve.
"Yes, Young Master."
Chunzhi responded, then turned and returned to her room to wake Ning Xiaoxiu up.
At the very least, they needed to know themselves and their enemy. Ning Xiaoxiu was very familiar with the Blood Lotus Sect; perhaps she could clarify who exactly the group currently occupying Hua Man Ge was and what their strength was! Only by figuring these things out could they easily formulate a countermeasure.
Before long.
Ning Xiaoxiu hurried over.
Hearing from Chunzhi that people from the Blood Lotus Sect had appeared in Yonghang City again, Ning Xiaoxiu was terribly anxious, fearing that Ning Mu would misunderstand and think she had been the one secretly tipping them off.
Therefore, she had run in without even putting on her clothes properly, her hair disheveled and her body barely covered.
Thump.
After crossing the threshold of the main hall, she slid into a kneeling position.
"Master, it wasn't Xiaoxiu who called them!"
Kneeling on the ground, before Ning Xiaoxiu could finish her defense, she prostrated herself, incomparably devout and terrified.
Seeing Ning Xiaoxiu's performance, Ning Mu could not help but be stunned, then immediately laughed in spite of himself.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fuling, standing to the side, looked with some curiosity at this petite yet curvaceous woman.
"I didn't say it was you. I called you here to ask who came this time and what their strength is."
Ning Mu supported his forehead with his hand and told Ning Xiaoxiu to get up and answer.
Hearing her master's reply, Ning Xiaoxiu's terrified and uneasy heart finally eased slightly.
She raised her head, knelt on the ground, frowned slightly, and said with a nervous face: "The Blood Lotus Sect's followers are spread across every country. If they are local followers, Xiaoxiu might not necessarily know the other party's strength. I ask Master to investigate clearly."
She was worried that she did not know the information about those Blood Lotus Sect followers currently in Hua Man Ge.
And that this would arouse her master's suspicion.
Ning Mu waved his hand without speaking, instead looking at Jiang Fuling.
And at this moment.
Jiang Fuling was full of horror; upon seeing Ning Xiaoxiu's true face, she subconsciously took a few steps back, her eyes filled with fear.
"She... she she she, she is the Saintess of the Blood Lotus Sect!"
Jiang Fuling pointed at Ning Xiaoxiu and said.
However, when she noticed Ning Mu's gaze, she finally came back to her senses.
This place was Young Master Ning's residence. And this Saintess... actually called Young Master Ning 'Master'.
The dignified Saintess of the Blood Lotus Sect.
Since the establishment of Hua Man Ge, at least three sisters had met their end at her hands, drained dry until they died.
Such a violent, cruel, and ruthless person was actually Young Master Ning's Female Slave?
Could it be that, on that day.
Young Master Ning and his master did not kill her, but instead subdued this cruel and bloodthirsty enchantress and took her as a slave?
Young Master Ning was too strong!
He could even make a Demon Sect enchantress so obedient! Recalling the extremely terrified slide-kneel and prostration of this enchantress when she entered the door, Jiang Fuling could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction in her heart, as if a great revenge had been avenged.
Both for herself.
And for those three sisters.
In fact, if not for Ning Mu and Liu Qingmei, she, Jiang Fuling, would likely have been the next one to have her Pure Essence drained!
This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Fuling was so grateful to Ning Mu!
Just as Jiang Fuling's mind was shaken and she was secretly speculating.
Ning Mu spoke up.
"Alright, tell her who those Blood Lotus Sect people are and what their characteristics are."
Ning Mu did not explain anything to Jiang Fuling, but pointed at Ning Xiaoxiu and told her to answer directly.
Jiang Fuling steadied her mind, swallowed a few times, and then began to carefully recall and slowly recount the details.
Just as she finished speaking.
Ning Xiaoxiu spoke up in a hurry, almost without any hesitation.
"It is Pusa Tan'er!"
"The leader is the daughter of Pusa Hai, an Elder of the Blood Lotus Sect's Punishment Hall, and she was also my cousin; her strength should be at the entry level of the Zhou Tian Realm, which is a bit stronger than my cultivation was when I still had it."
"The others include one called Bodhisattva Ti and one called Bodhisattva Juntai; their strength is both at the peak of the Inner Profound Realm, though Bodhisattva Juntai may have already broken through the Inner Profound Realm to reach the Sitting Reflection Grandmaster Realm. He was previously responsible for the northern region of Qi, and I have not met with him for three or four years, so it is hard to say what his strength is now."
"Also, Pusa Tan'er has a noble status; generally speaking, descendants of sect members at or above the rank of Elder like her are equipped with several experts to serve as Protectors, just as Pusa Tuo was my Protector before."
Ning Xiaoxiu knelt on the ground, explaining in great detail.
"In other words, there might be one or even more Grandmasters present?"
Ning Mu frowned and asked.
"Replying to Master, it is unlikely; there might be more people at the Inner Profound Realm, but as for Grandmasters... it depends on whether Bodhisattva Juntai has already broken through the Inner Profound Realm!" Ning Xiaoxiu said.
Ning Mu understood.
Grandmaster-level martial artists are not cabbages, after all.
The so-called Protectors are likely at most at the Inner Profound Realm! "Alright, I understand."
Ning Mu nodded with a grave expression, then looked at Chunzhi, who was standing by, and said, "Chunzhi, take them to rest."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Miss Jiang, please this way."
Chunzhi also had an extremely grave expression; she responded and then led Jiang Fuling and Ning Xiaoxiu away from the main hall to arrange rooms for them to rest.
Jiang Fuling's expression revealed intense nervousness and worry, and her gaze frequently turned toward Ning Mu as if she wanted to say something but held back.
She wanted to stop Young Master Ning from going to Hua Man Ge to rescue the sisters.
But seeing that Ning Mu seemed to have made up his mind, she felt it was not appropriate to say anything more.
Some things have the same effect whether said once or ten thousand times, and might even invite annoyance.
After Chunzhi left with Jiang Fuling and Ning Xiaoxiu.
Ning Mu immediately stood up and walked into the bedroom.
