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.
