Chapter 438 Stride Forward

The next day, the genius was dazzled.

Ning Zhumang packed up his already few salutes and left the courtyard alone.

Yesterday, thinking that this was the last time everyone drank together, Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan shouted that they must get Ning Zhumang drunk this time. Ning Zhumang also opened up his alcohol tolerance and thought about it. However, in the end, the two of them couldn't help but stagger around while Ning Zhumang remained calm and relaxed.

Ning Zhumang looked at the sky. It was still early. He estimated that Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan should still be sleeping soundly with the situation after drinking last night.

After some thought, he put away his plans with the others and walked out of the courtyard by himself while the night was still around.

In the end, he was not good at this.

Since he was destined to leave, it didn't make any difference to him whether to give or not.

Thus, the white-browed and black-haired Sect Leader took a deep look at the courtyard and resolutely turned around and walked out.

The sky still hadn't completely lit up. Ning Zhumang walked on the streets of Heng Imperial City. The streets were deserted and somewhat deserted. Looking at this scene, Sect Leader Ning's heart was a little gloomy. He couldn't explain why. Perhaps even though he hadn't participated in Yan Zhan and the others' commotion every day, he was still accustomed to spending time with them. At this moment, he suddenly became uncomfortable without these noises.

Thinking of this, the Sect Leader shook his head and forgot about the disturbing thoughts in his mind. Then, he bought a few steamed buns from a street stall as food for the journey. Then, he walked out of Hengroyal City.

The soldiers guarding the city had yet to take turns, but after some exhaustion, they had already fainted and fell asleep. They perfunctorily questioned Ning Zhumang before letting him out of the city.

Headmaster Ning gnawed on the steamed bun. As he ate and walked, he didn't have the demeanor of a headmaster.

After walking for about a hundred feet, the man's footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the city wall and sighed for no reason. In the end, he still didn't say a single word to her.

He was somewhat depressed and somewhat regretful.

After he left, he didn't know if he would have the chance to see the other party again…

After all, what he wanted to do was extremely dangerous, but he had to do it.

"Why do you always like to leave without saying goodbye?" As he thought about this, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

Ning Zhumang was stunned. He turned around and saw that Fang Ziyu had appeared behind him at some unknown time. At this moment, he was looking at him angrily.

The Sect Leader, who had always been calm and composed, did not panic even when facing the siege of two wine jar masters, but at that time, he was in a state of chaos.

He stared blankly at the girl who had suddenly appeared. His head was blank, and his lips were a little dry. He stuttered for a long time, but he didn't spit out a single word.

Fang Ziyu couldn't help but glance at him and say, "Did you leave my mother like this back then?"

Ning Zhumang felt a burst of guilt in his heart at that time. It was also because of this guilt that he was even more unable to look directly at this face that was 70% similar to the face of the person from back then. He lowered his head and remained silent.

"Smoke." Fang Ziyu curled his lips and said angrily, "I wonder how my mother fell for you back then."

"I…" Ning Zhumang lowered his head, wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, Fang Ziyu interrupted him again.

'"Don't tell me your difficulties. I don't understand. I only know that when Mother died, she was still thinking about you and begging to see you. If you want to explain, you should explain to Mother instead of me!" Fang Ziyu said this with anger in his eyes. However, when he saw the lonely expression on the man's face, this anger dissipated without any reason.

"Where are you going?" She sighed.

Ning Zhumang didn't seem to be used to the girl's quick speech. He was stunned for a moment before he replied, "Chang'an."

"What are you doing?" The girl's question came very quickly. Almost as soon as Ning Zhumang finished speaking, it sounded.

"Kill." The Sect Leader's response was much slower, but the tone of his words was incomparably firm.

"I'm an immortal. Can you beat me?"

"Even if I can't beat him, I still have to fight him."

"Can't you not go?"

"The immortal trusts me heavily. I will not dare to slack off because of my old friend's will."

"You don't want your life?"

"I don't have a choice."

The girl who heard this blinked her eyes and moved closer to Ning Zhu. She suddenly smiled and asked, "You don't want such an obedient daughter anymore?"

This time, Sect Leader Ning was completely stunned.

He stared blankly at the girl in front of him. After a while, he asked again, "What did you say?"

However, Fang Ziyu obviously did not plan to say it again. She stretched out her hand that had been hidden behind her from the beginning. She handed over a full package. No matter how Ning Zhumang reacted, Fang Ziyu directly stuffed the package into the man's embrace.

"You're eating steamed buns on such a long journey?" The girl frowned discontentedly and snatched Ning Zhumang over half of the steamed bun. She took a bite, curled her lips and pointed at the package. She said, "Eat this."

At this moment, Sect Leader Ning could not say a single word and nodded in shock.

The girl looked at the man with such a look and felt a little helpless, but the expression on her face suddenly became lonely. "I should have gone with you, but my cultivation technique…"

"I know. Although the Demon Devouring Town Heavenly Technique is endless, it is extremely dangerous. You have to cultivate carefully. Back then, your mother …"

The girl hurriedly reached out and interrupted the man, "I know. Don't worry, the old witch loves me. With her watching, everything will be fine."

The man was speechless. He knew that the relationship between Ghost Subhuti and Crescent Moon did not have the possibility of harming the fish. He nodded and fell silent again.

The girl also fell silent.

Just like this, the two of them stood outside the city gates of Horizontal Imperial City for a long time.

Fang Ziyu finally broke the silence between the two, "You have to come back alive."

She said this in a tone that was almost commanding.

The man raised his head and looked at the girl, seemingly puzzled.

"I want to go with you to see my mother… She misses you…"

Hearing this, the man's face flashed with joy. Just as he was about to say something, Fang Ziyu suddenly turned around and ran towards the city gate.

At that moment, a girl's voice sounded in the man's ears, "You only have this chance. If you break your promise again, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

The man was stunned again. There seemed to be something surging in his eyes under his white eyebrows, but he tried his best to stop it.

He did not turn his head, for he was afraid that the determination in his heart would waver the moment he turned his head.

However, he nodded heavily. He agreed to this promise, a father's promise to his daughter.

He gently opened the parcel. It was filled with sweet potatoes. It was as if he didn't have enough control over the heat. It was scorched black. The man laughed.

However, Fang Ziyu, who hadn't run far at that time, seemed to have sensed the man's actions. She said loudly to the man, "Don't feel that it's ugly!"

The man nodded his head again. He carefully took out a sweet potato and peeled off the peel of the fruit. Then, he put the flesh that did not look good into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Then a happy smile appeared on his face.

The food was naturally delicious to the extreme.

At the very least, Ning Zhumang firmly believed in this point.

Thinking like this, he wrapped up the bag of sweet potatoes. He did the whole process slowly and carefully, fearing that there would be any mistakes. Finally, he carefully inspected it for a while before placing him on his back at ease.

At this moment, the Sect Leader took large strides towards Chang'an.

He was in high spirits, and his footsteps were vigorous.

He had sweet potatoes on his back and a smile on his face.

A smile like a child's…
