C4118 Meditation
Sit down.
In the blink of an eye, an entire month had passed since Ning Qi arrived in Jiangyin City.
During this month, he had basically stayed in the Zifu. Through the information he had gathered from maidservant, as well as his own judgment regarding this place, a very terrifying idea gradually arose in Ning Qi's heart.
He thought that the Illusion might not be the Illusion, because this body of his was indeed in the eyes of everyone. It was a direct descendant of a run-down family in the countryside, the Ning's Mansion.
In order to verify this point, Ning Qi had once gone to the city gate to take a look. There was a public road outside, as well as an endless stretch of deep mountains and forests. It was not the void that he had previously thought it was.
As a result, the words that he had said when he got married that day would naturally become nonsense in the eyes of Zi Yun and the few maidservant. They could not be blamed for thinking that he had lost his head because of falling from the mountain.
"If this is an illusion, then the existence of the illusion is indeed much stronger than me.
Even after spending an entire month, I was still unable to find the slightest flaw in it.
Everyone has flesh and blood. When they feel pain, they will cry, and when they are happy, they will laugh. Even my physical body appears to be so real..."
" Sigh... "
Ning Qi sighed softly.
Regardless of where this place was, he shouldn't be able to leave this place for a short period of time. Perhaps the Silver Dragon had experienced it before, which was why it told him not to step into the giant city.
Then, the price of stepping into the giant city, would he be locked up here forever?
"It won't be forever. With this mortal body, I'm afraid that even if I live for another forty or fifty years, I will still die of old age. At that time, will I wake up, or will I really die?"
Outside the pavilion, a few maidservant saw Ning Qi sigh again and couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
"Older sister Xiaolan, the son-in-law has been sitting here all day for this month. From time to time, he would sigh. Is he despising the young miss?"
A maidservant said in a low voice.
Xiaolan cast a glance at Ning Qi, then her voice turned cold, "What Jiang Tianshu said was right. Ning family has been a rundown family for a long time. What right does he have to despise young lady? Maybe he broke his brain. But it's fine. As long as he waited for another half a year, he would be able to live well. Miss will be able to return to the main family in Jing City and take back what she deserves. "
" The young miss is too pitiful. The old master's wife and those family members actually died in one night. The main family used this as an excuse to prevent the young lady from entering. I hope that son-in-law can live well for this half a year. When the time comes, let outsiders take a look. The young miss is not a lone star. "
Maidservant said in a low voice.
Xiaolan frowned and glared at her, "Who asked you to gossip about Miss behind her back?"
"Older sister Xiaolan, I was wrong."
The servant girl stuck out her tongue.
Xiaolan smiled and looked at Ning Qi again. However, she found that Ning Qi had crossed his legs and placed the back of his hand on his knees. He looked like he was cultivating.
"What is Young Master doing?"
"I don't know."
Xiaolan frowned slightly.
Next, Ning Qi sat in the pavilion from morning to evening without moving. Many of maidservant and her servants came to watch the show when they heard the news. During this period of time, even Zi Yun came over. She stopped to watch for an hour before frowning and leaving.
"Son-in-law, you haven't eaten for a day."
Xiaolan left, leaving only the other little maidservant. She was appointed by Zi Yun to serve Ning Qi and her name was Ruyun.
Ruyun stood in the pavilion and carefully looked at Ning Qi. There was a trace of doubt and admiration in her eyes.
How could a normal person maintain a posture and not move for an entire day?
"Sigh, useless."
Ning Qi slowly opened his eyes and lightly sighed.
For the entire day, he had been trying to cultivate the Strangle Hell Dragon Elephant Holy Technique. Unfortunately, it had no effect at all. He had asked people about it before. There was a Martial Path here, but the cultivation of a Martial Path expert should be very ordinary. He could only cross the river on a reed.
"Cultivation methods cannot be cultivated, and the System has no response. Could it be that my soul has really been struck into a body that looks exactly like me? The moment I saw the giant city, I was unknowingly harmed? "
Ning Qi thought as he prepared to get up. However, he found that his whole body was numb to the point that he couldn't feel anything. This kind of feeling had never happened since he came to Qintang Empire and became the 13th son of Marquis family!
"Wait for me for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Ning Qi smiled at Ruyun.
Ruyun heard him and quickly nodded and stood at the side.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ning Qi stood up slowly. Only then did he feel hunger in his stomach.
"I really became a mortal."
Ning Qi's lips curved up slightly and revealed a self-deprecating smile.
The next morning, Ning Qi repeated what he did yesterday.
This repeated for the next half a month, and basically everyone knew that they wanted to see their son-in-law. They directly went to the pavilion and saw their son-in-law meditating.
In the Purple Manor's guest hall.
"Is his son-in-law still meditating?"
Zi Yun said indifferently.
Xiaolan nodded slightly and a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes, "Miss, could it be that Young Master is cultivating some kind of martial arts?"
"Practicing martial arts requires one to start training the body from a young age. There are also many people in Jiangyin City who are practicing martial arts. All of them were like this, the ancestors of the Ning family were great Confucianism families. How could they possibly practice martial arts? Only Confucianism can rule the country and pacify the world. Martial arts is just a small matter. "
Zi Yun slowly shook his head.
"Since Young Master is not practicing martial arts, then he might be cultivating."
Xiaolan said thoughtfully.
"No need to care. As long as he doesn't do anything out of line, he doesn't need to care. The group of shopkeepers that I want to see today are all here?"
Zi Yun said plainly.
"They're here, they're here. However..."
Xiaolan's expression changed slightly.
" When did you learn to keep us in suspense? Just say it."
Zi Yun glared at her.
"There are a total of 18 big managers, but only 13 came. There are also five who informed us that they were ill and couldn't rush over. I hope you can forgive us."
Xiaolan's expression was somewhat ugly as she said.1
What kind of illness? That was just an excuse! It was nothing more than seeing that something was wrong with the Zifu right now, and he wanted to use this to resist Zi Yun's rule to establish his own clan!
"Remember the names of those five shopkeepers. Call the rest of the shopkeepers over. "
Zi Yun said indifferently.
"Yes, Miss."
Xiaolan nodded slightly, then turned around and left. Not long after, a group of people entered one after another. When they saw Zi Yun, they all cupped their hands and bowed.
However, their expressions were rather strange. There were a few people who looked at Zi Yun boldly and directly. When Xiaolan saw this, she wanted to scold but was stopped by Zi Yun with a wave of his hand.
"All the shopkeepers came all the way here, this little girl is very happy."
Zi Yun laughed lightly and waved his hand, "Everyone, please take a seat."
Everyone sat down, and in next to no time, a young man who seemed to be in his thirties spoke. "Young Miss, may I know why you called us here today? Our business is very busy. If we go out for too long... I'm afraid it will affect our business."
