162: Seeing people as gay

No, Lingwu City, you guys are really making money!

Jiang Ning felt that Lingwu City was like a miniature Yingtong Merchant Guild.

Now they're even charging entrance fees.

What exactly is going on?

Dan Shuzi's Immortal Cave has no Opportunity left; buying a ticket to explore it is just a waste of money, isn't it?

It'd be better to give me money, and I'll take you on a tour of a Small World, to witness the profound heritage of a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

Jiang Ning was just idly thinking.

With his current strength and status, if word got out that there was an Opportunity for him to teach, let alone ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, even ten High-Grade Spirit Stones would have countless people flocking to him.

When ordinary people say a hundred golden phrases, it's 'being dramatic'.

When a person of high status utters a single 'complaint', it's still a golden phrase.

Now that Jiang Ning was famous, there were Great Masters to debate the Dao for him.

"What about you?"

Zhao Rong looked at Jiang Ning.

Ever since she learned that this immortal scion was messing around with his servant, whenever she looked at her Revered Master, she always had to gauge the servant's expression.

Zhao Rong wondered if the servant had an opinion of her, would he whisper in the Revered Master's ear at night?

And also, what was it like for men and men... was it like 'bayonet fighting'?

Zhao Rong was full of questions.

Jiang Ning planned to lean into his persona as an immortal scion, so he smiled and said, "I'm also planning to visit Cang Ling Domain this time.

The Elders of my Family have high hopes for me and insist that I go out for experience.

Xuanhuang Domain is a bit boring, so I'll go to Cang Ling Domain for a change."

Zhao Rong nodded.

She wanted to invite this immortal scion to travel with her, but after glancing at the handsome, somewhat alluring young servant beside him, she closed her mouth.

Jiang Ning suggested, "We're all heading to Cang Ling Domain, why don't we go together?"

This Zhao Rong, aside from being a little arrogant at first, had been quite good afterward.

She was a Loose Cultivator with a strong sense of responsibility and justice.

Traveling with a large group was always less conspicuous than just him and the young girl.

Otherwise, if Commander Marshal Xuan Hu was led into Cang Ling Domain, Cang Ling Domain would suffer again.

Zhao Rong's face lit up, but her expression remained calm.

She cupped her hands and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist for your care."

Jiang Ning also cupped his hands.

"It's nothing, we'll look out for each other."

Shen Jinhuan saw Jiang Ning and Zhao Rong chatting happily.

She felt a pang of jealousy.

She tugged at Jiang Ning's clothes under the table.

Jiang Ning looked over and gave her a gentle smile.

In Zhao Rong's eyes, this was simply too wicked!

She quickly excused herself.

"Fellow Daoist, I still have things to do, I'll return to my room first."

"Alright."

Jiang Ning watched her leave.

After Zhao Rong left.

Jiang Ning poked Shen Jinhuan's forehead, "What's wrong?"

Shen Jinhuan blinked.

"Revered Master, what do you think of Zhao Rong?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "She has a sense of justice and is a Cultivator with principles. I haven't noticed anything else, except that Zhao Rong always seems to look at people with a biased view."

"Biased view? What does that mean?"

Shen Jinhuan didn't understand.

Jiang Ning felt that the young girl shouldn't understand, so he said with a smile, "It's nothing, just a very common saying."

Shen Jinhuan was a little angry.

Little Hei, standing on Shen Jinhuan's shoulder, rolled his eyes.

He spoke in their 'private channel':

"Senior Sister, Revered Master has a very good relationship with you, which is why he understands you so well. Zhao Rong is just a passing acquaintance; to put it bluntly, she could die at any moment and we wouldn't even know.

Revered Master doesn't know much about her, so a slight deviation in his words is normal.

After all, you and Revered Master are the true Family!"

Shen Jinhuan heard Little Hei's words.

She was overjoyed.

She stroked Little Hei's head.

A smile curved her lips.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning took out a High-Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Ring and gave it to Little Hei to eat.

Little Hei proudly puffed out his chest.

A true sycophant must not only flatter the leader but also help the leader solve problems and make the leader happy!

See, he just moved his lips, and this High-Grade Spirit Stone appeared, didn't it?

What kind of days were those when he racked his brains for 'schemes' just for a Spiritual Plant!

Little Hei absorbed the Spirit Stone while flapping his right wing.

"Revered Master is generous! Revered Master is awesome!"

Jiang Ning: ... He stared at Little Hei.

He only withdrew his gaze after staring at Little Hei until he got nervous.

He wondered, could this crow be a Transmigration from some internet streamer in a past life?

The novel didn't describe such an interesting little fellow!

Meanwhile, in Little Hei's mind.

He had replayed all of Jiang Ning's micro-expressions when he was just staring at him several times.

Revered Master was puzzled, Revered Master was emotional, and then Revered Master was relieved.

What was this puzzlement?

What was the emotion?

And what was he relieved about?

He had to ponder it carefully.

He didn't know the answer now, so he'd just store it in his mind and study it in detail tonight.

Evening.

Jiang Ning met with Zhao Rong again.

The two decided to do some shopping tomorrow morning, and then in the afternoon, they would travel to Cang Ling Domain with the caravan.

Jiang Ning heard that Black Iron City had an auction tonight.

So he invited, "There's an auction at the Black Iron Auction Pavilion after the first half of Xu hour tonight. Would you like to come with me, Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Rong was a little tempted.

Then she waved her hand.

"No, no, you two go yourselves."

A single entry pass cost ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Those ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones couldn't buy anything; they were just given away for nothing.

Then, she saw Jiang Ning pull out a golden invitation card.

"Let's go together."

Jiang Ning said with a smile, "I bought a private room pass, which can accommodate five people."

Zhao Rong was stunned.

She gritted her teeth.

Damn immortal scion!

A pass for a private room cost one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

This world truly had disparities; what she yearned for might be commonplace for others.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Rong nodded, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Jiang Ning's current alias was Shen Jin.

The young girl's was Shen Ning.

Jiang Ning waved his hand.

It was nothing.

He had nothing now except money; if you asked, he was just too rich!

Commander Xing and the Disciples of Tiance Military Prefecture knew he was poor and specially sent him warmth, which he graciously accepted, taking it all in.

There was still less than half an hour until the auction began.

Jiang Ning, Shen Jinhuan, and Zhao Rong sat at the table, each lost in their thoughts, waiting to set off.

Shen Jinhuan was playing with Little Hei.

Little Hei found Shen Jinhuan's technique a bit boring, but he still pretended to be happy and cooperated actively.

This was professionalism!

When Shen Jinhuan had fun, she took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and fed it to Little Hei.

Zhao Rong saw this and gritted her teeth.

Damn immortal scion!

Even his servant was so rich!

Feeding this scruffy bird Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, it would be better to feed them to her!

For a moment, Zhao Rong even had the urge to become someone else's servant.

The auction had not yet begun.

The traditional storytelling in the inn's lobby started.

The storyteller, dressed in a gray long gown, stood behind the table.

He struck the gavel.

"First, I thank all my benefactors for coming to listen to my ramblings. Today, we won't talk about Jiang Ning, the number one powerhouse in Cang Ling Domain; that's too unoriginal.

Let's talk about some secrets surrounding Jiang Ning!"

Jiang Ning: Oh, really!

I have secrets too!
