Song

Ning hadn't dealt with such situation. He wanted to look down into Qiu Yue's neckline in instinct, but he

couldn't do that because he had a moral responsibility.

"Qiu

Yue, I don't need you to make it up to me. I saw what you and Fang Yu done in

his room last night and heard what you said. I know who tried to conspire

against me. Now, conspiracy aside. You called me brother Song just now, what do

you mean?"

Qiu

Yue didn't understand Song Ning at the moment. Without tying her clothes and getting

up from the ground, she said, "The master declared you the secondary chief

disciple. You are a chief disciple today and the master is waiting for you in

her palace hall."

The

secondary chief disciple?!

Song

Ning took a deep breath. Were it not for the fact that Qiu Yue was here, he

thought he was in a dream.

"Really?"

asked Song Ning.

"The

master told me about it. Song Ning, you'd better come to her. I should arrange

to announce your promotion to chief disciple. I will come to your room to serve

you at…at night…" Her voice faded out, seemly asking Song Ning for his

opinions.

"No."

He left such a word and walked towards the palace.

Song

Ning would rather meet Red Maple than watch Qiu Yue taking off her clothes.

Though he was extremely curious about sex, he didn't want to take advantage. She

had hurt him, but Song Ning could distinguish between right and wrong.

Song

Ning walked to the center of Tianhe City with mixed feelings.

He

arrived out of the door, hesitating whether he should enter the palace. He saw

a girl in golden silk standing outside the palace.

In

the soft light, her long hair was blowing in the wind. She had white skin as

snow and slender fingers.

She

put out a finger to flick her hair. As Song Ning came into her sight, a gentle

smile came across her face.

"Song

Ning, you are here."

"Sister

Leng."

Song

Ning bowed down to Leng Yuexiao and naturally remembered the intersection of them.

Leng

Yuexiao bowed slightly, "The master is waiting for you, come on."

Song

Ning had believed that Red Maple would make things difficult for him once

again, but it seemed that Qiu Yue told the truth and he wouldn't struck by a

disaster.

Song

Ning walked up, following Leng Yuexiao to the palace.

In

the palace, Red Maple was still seated on a cattail hassock. As Song Ning and

Leng Yuexiao entered, she lifted her eyelids and then lowered them.

"Song

Ning, today you are the secondary chief disciple of Tianhe City; you will enjoy

the treatment of chief disciple," said she with a flick of her finger. A ring

flew to Song Ning.

Song

Ning stretched his hand to catch the ring, feeling something floating inside

it. That would a storage ring.

Things

happened in an unexpected manner. It was like a dream. He bowed hurriedly,

"Thank you, mas…"

"Leave."

Red Maple said with a swing of her arm. Song Ning and Leng Yuexiao were pushed

out of the palace by a light force.

"Congratulations,

Song Ning." Leng Yuexiao turned back.

His

heart was pumping. He never thought that he would be a chief disciple—and even

more surprised that she treated him in such a kind manner.

"Thank

you, Leng Yuexiao." Song Ning clasped his hands.

Leng

Yuexiao was a little bit startled, "Song Ning, you thank me all the time. Don't

you hate me?"

"Hate

you?" asked Song Ning.

Leng

Yuexiao kept silence and looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Song

Ning smiled, "If not, that's wrong. My original school suffered from a massacre

because of you and I was almost killed…"

However,

I remembered you feed me a piece of Life Extending Elixir that day. Without the

elixir, I could neither have cultivated nor been a chief disciple.

As

regards hatred, I couldn't do that. On the contrary, I felt appreciated.

It

might be what my adoptive father had said, "What one lost on the swings, he got

back on the roundabouts."

Leng

Yuexiao's eyes lighted up when she heard Song Ning's answer especially the last

words. Were if not for the fact that she heard herself, she wouldn't believe

that he had such powers of perception.

"Your

father was right. What one lost on the swings, he got back on the roundabouts."

Leng Yuexiao praised. However, Song Ning didn't understand her at the moment.

"Song

Ning, I should go. When something worries you, you can go to me." She added.

Song

Ning cupped his hands and watched her go.

After

Leng Yuexiao left, Song Ning opened the storage ring and looked at the golden Taoist

robe in it. With a huge amount of excitement, he put on the robe and walked

towards the fourth-ring area.

The

fourth-ring area was inhabited by core disciples. Their numbers might be small,

but they boasted strong power. He planned to build a house, which required help

from disciples in relatively high cultivation, thus the first thing that came

to his mind was core disciples.

Within

the fourth-ring area.

Senior

brother Lee was hobnobbing with several disciples and suddenly saw Qiu Yue

coming.

"Senior

brothers, the master promotes Song Ning to chief disciple and orders me to

inform you," said she.

Lee

couldn't help from laughing, "Are you kidding me? If he could be a chief

disciple, I must…"

Before

he had finished speaking, a golden light came slowly.

Golden

Taoist robe?

If

it was Leng Yuexiao, she would fly. With a golden flash, he appeared. It was

obviously Song Ning who came slowly.

Song

Ning was wearing a golden Taoist robe which gave out light in the sun. He

approached from far away and the core disciples saw him right away.
