As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

627 The Mysterous Ning Caichen

The reincarnated fox immortal of Qing Qiu was still young. Even if he grew stronger, he might not be a match for her. In terms of hierarchy, the reincarnated fox immortal was far superior to Mo Lingche; however, the latter had a huge backing behind him. The reincarnated fox immortal was not completely alone, but she had no backing.

“That’s why we should listen to Mo Lingche first and let the Mo family negotiate with us.”

Bai Ruoning sighed and made a compromise.

“What are your conditions? If they’re outrageous, I’m afraid I have to disagree. However, if they’re nothing too bad, I can agree.”

Master Mo’s lips curled up slightly, and he immediately said, “Our request is very simple. Ms. Bai, you can recruit a genius from the Mo family to be your son-in-law.”

“Do you want to build a relationship with the Qing Qiu?”

Was giving them strength not enough?

Bai Ruoning furrowed her brows. She was clearly displeased.

Master Mo laughed and said, ‘It would be best if I could get close to the Qing Qiu. Moreover, I think my father would agree with this. This is a great union!”

Hearing this, Bai Ruoning frowned again and nodded in agreement, “What you said is indeed reasonable.”

How ridiculous!

If she were not afraid of Mo Lingche, she would definitely teach these people a lesson.

However, thinking about it carefully, Bai Ruoning could not help but raise her eyebrows a few times before she took a few deep breaths.

“If we can really build a connection with this, we can also establish a connection with Mo Lingche. Most importantly, we can establish a connection with the power behind Mo Lingche. Then, when our fox immortal returns to the immortal world again, she will have a backer… If all goes well, the Bai family will gain an advantage!”

Just as Bai Ruoning was deep in thought, she suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.

“That little bitch, Su Ruoning, is here again! She keeps haunting me like a ghost! It’s really annoying!”

Bai Ruoning cursed and quickly turned around to leave.

The Mo brothers looked at each other and quickly retreated. They had agreed to Bai Ruoning’s request to help her hold Ning Caichen hostage.

However, they wanted to avoid getting involved in the internal affairs of the Qing Qiu.

“I’ve long heard that the Qing family is the most powerful family in Qing Qiu. However, the current king of Qing Qiu has no children, so it’s very likely that he doesn’t have a successor. Therefore, the Su and Bai families are constantly fighting for the position of the next king of Qing Qiu.”

“Does Bai Ruoning want to take Ning Caichen away to be their next king? How could Ning Caichen be the next king? Isn’t that ridiculous?”

The Mo brothers exchanged a few words.

Jiang Ming heard their conversation and immediately frowned.

“Could it be that the Su and Bai families are really here for this? If that’s the case, then I have nothing to say. After all, they’re doing everything they can to fight for the throne. But just like what the Mo brothers said, what right do I have to be the key to victory in this battle for the throne?”

Ning Caichen kept shaking his head. At this moment, Su Ruoning appeared. She looked around and frowned.

“I could sense Ning Caichen’s aura before, but now there’s no trace of him. Has he really left?”

She left quickly, but Jiang Ming did not show up because Su Ruoning returned very quickly. This made Jiang Ming twitch. Was there something wrong with this woman?

Su Ruoning’s brows furrowed even more tightly. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said unhappily, “Is there something wrong with Ning Caichen? Not only is he hiding from Bai Ruoning, but he’s also deliberately avoiding me as well?”

“You’re the one who’s crazy! Your whole family is crazy!”

Jiang Ming could not help but curse. Fortunately, with the support of the black sword, the other party could not hear him curse.

Why was this woman so crazy?

Even if it was at Gongye Jiu’s request, she did not need to be so persistent.

“Unless… There’s something fishy going on between Su Ruoning and Gongye Jiu. It looks like Gongye Jiu isn’t a good person, either. He’s actually playing a game of unrequited love between humans and fox demons.”

Jiang Ming kept muttering. Suddenly, Su Ruoning could not help but sneeze.

Gongye Jiu, who was tens of thousands of miles away, suddenly sneezed as well.

“Strange, why did I sneeze all of a sudden? Although I can’t cultivate, I’m fed with natural treasures every day. No matter how you look at it, I should not get sick enough to sneeze.”

Gongye Jiu was a little puzzled before rubbing his temples. “Has someone been talking ill about me?” Is it Su Ruoning? Is she still unconvinced after losing the bet? Is that why she’s cursing me like this? I have to teach this woman a lesson later. Otherwise, she will always speak ill of me behind my back. When the time comes, people will think that I’m weak if I keep sneezing.”

The follower at the side said weakly, “Master Jiu, your body is actually quite weak. We’ve been walking at a leisurely pace, but you’ve rested so many times. Why don’t we activate the spirit ship? We’ll be much faster.”

Gongye Jiu immediately smacked him.

“What nonsense are you talking about? My body is weak; that’s why I started to train. Also, what spirit ship? Every time I ride it, I have to spend a heap of spirit stones as mana to activate it.”

“But Master Jiu, you have quite a number of spirit mines under your name.”

The follower thought to himself, and then he was smacked again.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking just because you don’t say it out loud. Rest well. We still have to head to the Desolate Wilderness soon!”

The follower could not help but complain in his heart, but he quickly said in surprise, “Master Jiu, do you think so highly of Ning Caichen? Why are you making such a long trip just for him? According to my understanding, the people in the vast Desolate Wilderness, especially the Cloud Wilderness, are not good people. They are not civilized, and they do not pay attention to etiquette and morality. They even believe in the ancient Desolate Gods. If we go looking for them for no reason, I’m afraid we’ll be treated as heretics by them!”

Speaking of this, the follower subconsciously shivered. If he were really seen as a heretic, it would not be good. At the very least, he would be beaten up and expelled. At worst, he would be pulled away as a sacrifice. The follower felt a little scared just thinking about it.

Upon hearing this, Gongye Jiu said seriously, “I don’t know how far Ning Caichen can go, but this kid is hiding too many secrets, and I can’t foretell his destiny. But I’m sure about one thing! The girl beside him is not simple. If Ning Caichen was so simple, why would such a girl follow him everywhere?”
