“Smile like Mrs. Ye who sells tofu on the street next door, kind and amiable.” Yan Lanpei suggested.

Ning Xingyuan pulled up the corners of his mouth stiffly and bent over to look at the child in the nine-leaf lotus.

Ning Buwei, who was watching, silently held his forehead.

Sure enough, a earth-shattering cry came immediately.

The picture in front of him suddenly began to blur, and Yan Lanpei’s weak voice was a bit embarrassing, “The retrospective was too early.”

Sure enough, the next moment the picture turned into ten years later.

“Ning Xingyuan! Don’t let Ning Chengfeng pluck my leaves again! If it is plucked again, it will be bald!” Yan Lanpei said angrily.

Ning Xingyuan smiled with his sleeves tucked in, “Who made you always provoke him.”

Yan Lanpei said, “I’m rare to him, such a little bit has grown so big, like raising a son.”

Ning Xingyuan said calmly to the teenager who was pulling the nine-leaf lotus across from him, “Chengfeng, the green vine says it wants to be your father.”

Ning Buwei was immediately furious, reaching out to pull the vine and pluck its leaves, “Why don’t it just go to heaven!”

Yan Lanpei dodged while complaining, “Ning Xingyuan! You provoke him every time!”

Ning Xingyuan smiled unmoved, “So cute.”

“All of you surnamed Ning are problematic!” Yan Lanpei cursed.

Yan Lanpei was tied up by Ning Buwei, so angry that his leaves were almost falling off, “Little rascal, when I transform, I must beat him up!”

“It says you’re asking for a beating.” Ning Xingyuan passed the message in a truncated way.

The teenager was about to fight with the vine with his sword.

Yan Lanpei asked Ning Xingyuan worriedly, “Should I lose or win this time?”

Ning Xingyuan looked up at the distant green mountain, “He was punished by the teacher from the Wanxuan Academy, let him win a game to be happy.”

“Ah, it’s hard to coax a child.” Yan Lanpei sighed and started fighting with the teenager.

The momentum was huge, but in fact, they didn’t use even one-tenth of their strength.

Five hundred years later, Ning Buwei stood behind them, listening to the ridiculous conversation, and pulled the corner of his mouth.

After the teenager left, Ning Xingyuan took Yan Lanpei to Chenyue Mountain.

“You will retreat here and transform on the day of the spring equinox.” Ning Xingyuan put him back on his body.

The towering giant vine soared into the clouds, and the root system underneath covered the entire Chenyue Mountain.

“I wasn’t just playing with Chengfeng just now, I really plan to transform into a man.” Yan Lanpei said, “A handsome and tall man.”

Ning Xingyuan helplessly said, “What kind of form you want to transform into is your freedom.”

Yan Lanpei politely said, “I still have to consider your opinion to some extent.”

Ning Xingyuan paused for a moment and said, “Actually, I think—”

Yan Lanpei said, “Your opinion is not that important.”

Ning Xingyuan: “…”

What a vine with its own ideas.

“After I transform, I must be taller than Ning Chengfeng.” Yan Lanpei insisted.

“He hasn’t had his sixteenth birthday yet this year, and he will grow taller.” Ning Xingyuan said, “Why are you competing with him?”

“He plucks my leaves every day, and if he plucks one of my leaves, I will pluck one of his hairs.” Yan Lanpei said solemnly, “Let him see the dangers of the world, this vine cannot be bullied.”

Ning Xingyuan said helplessly and amusingly, “He should be on vacation on the day of the spring equinox, and I will call him back to watch your transformation.”

“I want to see you first, and then him.” The vine on the giant vine wrapped around his hair and quietly pulled one out.

Ning Xingyuan: “Okay… but don’t pull my hair.”

“You have poor discipline, letting Chengfeng pluck my leaves, you two are guilty together.”

Ning Xingyuan laughed, “You vine is really stingy.”

A person and a vine watched the moon set on the top of Chenyue Mountain and talked until midnight.

“I plan to pass on the Rejuvenation Array to Dulu.” Ning Xingyuan said.

Yan Lanpei was stunned, “Didn’t you say that Chengfeng is more suitable than Dulu?”

“Chengfeng is determined to cultivate the ruthless way, no matter how you persuade him, teaching him the Rejuvenation Array now is harming him.” Ning Xingyuan said, “Although Dulu has some flaws in his temperament, he is kind-hearted and has a firm mind. Teaching him can also protect one side’s peace.”

“But he doesn’t have the surname Ning.” Yan Lanpei reminded him. “The law is not lightly passed.”

(t/n: The law is not lightly passed-“Law” refers to extraordinary abilities, such as the superb craftsmanship of the engraver, carpenter’s craft, Martial Arts Master’s Secret Skills, etc..usually, the ancients would pass on their unique craftsmanship to their descendants, a person with a relatively large structure, will accept some apprentices, then pass it on to more talented apprentices.

Before teaching skills, two aspects are often considered. On the one hand, it depends on the other person’s character. If your character is not good, no matter how talented you are, you won’t consider it; on the other hand, it’s the other person’s talent. Anything requires talent. For people with average talent, even if it takes more time, you can’t be unique.)

“The Dao does not hide its secrets.” Ning Xingyuan said, “Besides, he is my only direct disciple.”

“You are so young, you will only be ninety-nine after the year.” Yan Lanpei said, “You are still a young boy among cultivators.”

“In the mortal world, it’s longevity.” Ning Xingyuan stood up and laughed, “I’m going down the mountain, I’ll pick you up on the day of the spring equinox.”

Yan Lanpei’s voice was very happy, “Also call Chengfeng, but he has to walk behind you, I want to see you first.”

“Okay.” Ning Xingyuan walked a distance, turned his head and stared at a small green vine crawling on the ground, “You are not allowed to go down the mountain before the spring equinox.”

“Oh.” The little vine crawled back grievously, and when it was halfway, it turned its head and shouted at him.

“Ning Xingyuan, you two must come on the day of the spring equinox.”

“We will come.”

“I want to see you first.”

“Don’t worry.”

Ning Xingyuan turned his head and glanced at the vine, “Don’t be too tall, just shorter than me, Chengfeng can’t grow much taller.”

“Okay.” Yan Lanpei happily waved a leaf at him.

The sun and the moon waxed and waned, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the spring equinox.

Yan Lanpei, transformed into a human form, sat on the top of Chenyue Mountain, waiting for Ning Xingyuan and Ning Chengfeng to come and pick him up.

The vine turned into a human, tall and beautiful, just an inch shorter than Ning Xingyuan, but a few inches taller than the young Ning Chengfeng. Apart from his face not being very heroic, everything else satisfied the vine.

But from sunrise to sunset, no one came.

Ning Xingyuan had set up a barrier on Chenyue Mountain. He broke the barrier with great difficulty, ready to scold Ning Xingyuan and Ning Chengfeng, these two heartless people, but he was stunned in mid-air.

Under the orange sunset, there was a bloody gloom over Ning City.

He flew over from the air, everywhere were severed limbs and jagged bones, a sea of corpses and blood, which was not enough to describe the tragic situation here.

When Yan Lanpei arrived at where Ning Mansion was located, the large Ning Mansion had already turned into ruins, and he was immediately panicked.

“Ning Xingyuan!”

“Chengfeng!”

“Dulu!”

He called out the names of the closest people, but he didn’t get a response. He rushed to the location of Danhuai Courtyard, looking incredulously at the scene in front of him.

In the emerald-colored nine-leaf lotus cluster, a person was standing with his back to him.

Seeing the familiar figure, Yan Lanpei immediately relaxed and said the first sentence after his transformation.

“Ning Xing——”

Puchi.
