Taoist couple Qiu Han left with a group of casual cultivators.

Ning Fan informed the girls in detail about the breakthrough to Wenxu, and after sending a sound-transmitting flying sword towards the Xu Island in the Endless Sea Cave, he left Qimei City with a sway.

He wanted to go to Haining Ning's house immediately to avoid passing by Yun Ruowei. Before going to Zhongzhou, Ning Fan wanted to find an answer to some questions.

His light escape was extremely fast, and he could travel millions of miles in just a few flights, cross the great lock formation, and appear in the land of the former Kingdom of Wu.

In the city of Haining, in the Yue Kingdom, on the bank of the Cuitang River, which is as green as emerald, Ning Fan landed on the bank of reeds.

There are several fishing boats on the Cuitang River, and some woodcutters, all mortals, are descending from the Ningbi Peak in the distance, singing Wu ballads.

Ning Fan's eyes showed a look of sadness. It had been more than fifty years since he left the country of Wu. When he first heard the local accent, he felt a little nostalgic.

There was once a mortal boy who walked by the Cuitang River carrying a bamboo basket and entered Ningbi Peak again and again to collect herbs.

In Ningbi Peak, the young man saved Miss Ning Jiaqing and offended Mr. Ning Jiaqing...

In Haining City, that young man was adopted by Ning Daniu and spent thirteen ordinary years with Ning Gu...

Wu's blood revenge has been avenged, Haining has become a memory...

"This little brother is a foreigner who has just arrived in Haining. But he has lost his way?" An old woodcutter asked enthusiastically when he saw the worried look in Ning Fan's eyes.

"Thank you, I know the way."

He cupped his fist and saluted the woodcutter, turned around and walked towards Haining City.

Haining City has a history of thousands of years in the Wu Kingdom. The ancestor's name is Ning Honghong. It took in many orphans from the war and established the Ning family.

The Ning family has a pretty good reputation. Most cultivation families rarely have contact with mortals. The Ning family follows the ancestral precepts and adopts some mortal orphans every year. Ning Fan was picked up by someone back then.

Ning Fan took revenge and only killed Ning Tian, ​​leaving the others unaccounted for. Ultimately, it was because he felt grateful to the Ning family in his heart.

Maybe the Ning family treated him badly, maybe his adoptive father Ning Daniu was not kind to him and Ning Gu. But the kindness of raising him is the kindness of raising him, which cannot be erased or forgotten.

He spread his spiritual thoughts, and the Taixu-level divine thoughts covered an area of ​​400,000 miles.

Every plant and tree in Haining was caught in sight, and no one noticed that Ning Fan was spying on them.

In the Ning family temple, the third ancestor of the Ning family was respectfully receiving a woman. When Ning Fan saw the woman, he smiled slightly.

This woman is Yun Ruowei. Fortunately, Ning Fan didn't arrive late and won't cross paths with her. I think he can get some answers after meeting her.

He did not immediately go to look for Yun Ruowei. At this moment, Yun Ruowei seemed to be asking the Third Patriarch Ning Fan about something important. He was very sensible and did not bother him.

He walked to the pine forest outside Haining City, looked at a hut outside the pine forest that had been abandoned for many years, and sighed.

This hut was where Ning Fan and Ning Gu lived back then, but after more than fifty years of neglect, it has long since disappeared...

He took one step forward and appeared in the Ningbi Mountain. He stepped on the thick withered leaves and walked through the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain roads.

He once followed this road into the deepest part of Ningbi Peak, was not afraid of the wolves in the mountains, and collected many rare elixirs...

Deep in the mountains, wolf spirits noticed Ning Fan walking by and crawled to the ground one by one, trembling with fear.

Even the Wolf King, who had the initial cultivation level of soul fusion, was kneeling in front of Ning Fan, his tongue coy like a puppy. He looked extremely submissive and did not dare to disobey Ning Fan at all.

Mortals may not know Ning Fan's cultivation, but these wolf spirits instinctively sense Ning Fan's terror.

Ning Fan knelt down, patted the Wolf King's head, and stroked the Wolf King's silver back. He smiled slightly,

"Do you still remember me?"

"Ouch--" Ning Fan's response was only the Wolf King's puppy-like cry.

"You don't remember me, but I still remember you. Those dandy boys wanted to peek at Miss Qing's bath, but I found them and chased them. I led them to the mountains, but you ate them and helped

I will block a calamity... I have a bottle of third-turn elixir here. After you take it, you can condense the demon elixir as soon as possible and become a demon wolf in the golden elixir realm..."

Ning Fan took out a pill bottle and handed it to the Wolf King. The Wolf King showed human excitement and sat on Ning Fan's lap like a puppy, meowing happily.

"Ouch——"

"But you have to promise me not to bite the mortals who go into the mountains to collect herbs... It doesn't matter if you are a monk. After all, if a monk goes into the mountains, he must be prepared to fight with you. Life and death are up to you..."

"Ouch——" The Wolf King agreed to Ning Fan's words and would never hurt another mortal again.

"Well, I'm leaving. Could it be that you little guy is just a female wolf, so clingy..." Ning Fan patted the Wolf King on the head, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

"Ouch--" the wolf king called out resentfully. It was really a female wolf.

Ning Fan came to Ningbifeng Taiqing Pool. Miss Qing was preparing to take a bath here. If Ning Fan hadn't reminded her, she would have fallen into the clutches of the devil...

"Did everything start from here? If I had not saved her with the intention of repaying my kindness, I would not have offended Ning Tian or embarked on the path of cultivating evil... But I do not regret it. If I had been timid here,

, I am afraid of those young monks and ignore the safety of my benefactor, then I am no longer Ning Fan... The path I have walked is my way, and I will never regret it..."

Ning Fan walked towards Taiqing Pond and muttered to himself.

Before he even got close to the pool, he heard the sound of rippling water.

Then he saw a woman in a green skirt sitting by the Taiqing Pool. She took off her brocade shoes and stockings on one side. She lifted up her skirt slightly and dipped her feet into the cool water, gently stirring the water.

The woman looked at Taiqing Pond, her eyes were filled with dullness and longing. There was a trace of gratitude in her longing, and a trace of helplessness in her gratitude.

"If it hadn't been for him back then, I would have been humiliated by the thieves by the Taiqing Pond... When he was in trouble, I didn't know and was unable to rescue him. As a result, he was trafficked to the cultivators and traveled to the Yue Kingdom.

Cultivation of the Demonic Path...I owe him a favor, but I will never repay it..."

This woman is none other than Miss Ning Jiaqing—Ning Qingqing.

Ning Fan was slightly startled. He didn't expect to meet this woman here and now. He couldn't help but sigh when he heard the woman's thoughtful words.

"Who is it! Who is peeking!" Ning Qingqing suddenly heard someone sighing, and jumped up alertly. She showed off her bare feet and took out the flying sword. She looked around with vigilant eyes.

"It's me, Ning Fan."

Ning Fan walked out of the sparse forest leaves, approached Taiqing Pond, and smiled at Ning Qingqing.

When she saw that the person who came was actually Ning Fan, Ning Qingqing was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. Then she showed a look of fear and quickly saluted, "Ning Qingqing, a member of the Ning family, has seen Su Yihou..."

"Miss Qing, do you have to be so alienated from me? Don't you want to repay me for your kindness? How do you want to repay me?" Ning Fan said with a smile, his eyes deliberately glanced at Ning Qingqing's bare feet.

Ning Qingqing blushed, knowing she was being rude, and immediately put on her stockings and brocade shoes. She felt a little at a loss... Could it be that he heard what she just said to herself?

She calmed down, lowered her head slightly, and replied to Ning Fan, "Qing'er has a low cultivation level and knows that he is not qualified to repay his kindness to Marquis Su Yi. It is impossible to help Marquis Su Yi in anything. Just now Qing'er was just in vain.

It's just nonsense for people to talk casually, and what they say cannot be true. I hope Suyihou will not argue with Qing'er."

"I won't care about it, but I really need your help with something... I wonder if Miss Qing can take me to Ning Daniu's grave?" Ning Fan stopped smiling and looked a little sad.

The kindness of raising him should not be forgotten. No matter what happened back then, Ning Daniu was always kind to him.

Although there are graves for Ning family servants to bury after their deaths, there is no monument to erect... Forty miles north of Haining City, among the tens of thousands of deserted graves, it is difficult for Ning Fan to find Ning Daniu's grave.

.

Although he asked this question, he didn't expect Ning Qingqing to really know.

Unexpectedly, Ning Qingqing was just startled and immediately agreed, "Marquis Su Yi has an order, how dare Qing'er disobey it, so I will take the Marquis to Ning Daniu's grave to have a look."

"Oh? You actually know where a mortal's lonely grave is?" Ning Fan was slightly surprised.

"Well... I happen to know..." Ning Qingqing's face turned slightly red, but fortunately her back was to Ning Fan and she was not seen by Ning Fan.

"Is it just a coincidence..." Ning Fan sighed again.

As a monk and the proud daughter of the Haining Ning family, Ning Qingqing could not care about the news of a mortal servant.

Ning Fan is not a fool. The reason why Ning Qingqing pays attention to Ning Daniu is probably because of him.

This woman claims to repay her kindness, but her kindness may not be without emotion...

The two of them turned into escaping light and soon came to a barren graveyard.

Countless mounds were piled on the ground, and within each mound there must have been the bones of a mortal.

Ning Qingqing skillfully led Ning Fan around the graves and stopped at one of the countless graves.

That is Ning Daniu’s grave. Although there is no monument, Ning Qingqing remembers it very clearly.

Beside this barren grave, there are still the remains of the incense and fruit plate...

Ning Fan smiled bitterly, Ning Daniu had no relatives, and he was just a servant. He didn't even have a monument after his death, so he was afraid that no one would pay homage to him.

Ning Qingqing is probably the only one who can worship him...

"Thank you." Ning Fan patted the storage bag, took out some incense candle fruits, and placed them in front of Ning Daniu's grave.

"Thank me for what I did...I haven't done anything..." Ning Qingqing's eyes were a little dodgey.

"You saved me twice, and I saved you once. You don't owe me anything, and you don't need to repay me. It should be said that I still owe you a favor. Tell me, I can fulfill your wishes.

"

"I saved you twice?" Ning Qingqing obviously did not remember these past events.

"Well, so you don't owe me, I owe you. Tell me what wishes you have. As long as it's not too much, I will definitely satisfy you."

"A wish..." Ning Qingqing bit her lip gently, showing a thoughtful expression. She really didn't have any wishes.

She looked up at Ning Fan, her face suddenly blushed, and she had a wish, but this wish... was too extravagant...

"I have no wishes..." She lowered her head and sighed quietly.
