Outside the pavilion on the ancient path, because it was a spring day, Hundred Blossom Jade was continuous. No matter how one looked at it, now was indeed a good time to travel.0
The only ones sending Cheng Qing off were Liu Jingan, Song Qianshu, and Qi Mo Xuan. It wasn't that the others didn't want to see him off, but Cheng Qing hadn't told them he was out yet.
However, there were many others who were sent away. Other than Cheng Qing, Li Muhao, Yang Ruoxi, and Song Xuejun, what surprised Song Qianshu the most was that Ji Ning was also heading towards the Qin Nation.
When Ji Ning first told Cheng Qing that he was going to the Qin Nation as well, Cheng Qing was caught off guard.
The purpose of their trip east was to help Li Muhao ascend to the throne. Fighting and killing were inevitable, and there was no need to mention how difficult it would be. Ji Ning was willing to abandon the general situation of the imperial court and follow them to the Kingdom of Qin. This was not something that an average person could do.
But since Ji Ning wanted to go, Cheng Qing didn't have any reason to stop her. The two of them had been together for many years, so he knew Ji Ning was trying to show his sincerity.
After all, he was staying in Liangzhou, and there was the possibility of getting in Chen Qing's way. Although this was harming himself and others, it was not beneficial for him, but it was possible for the selfish Emperor to do so.
Of course, the words that Ji Ning used to convince the others were not these. Instead, he said that this trip was related to the life and death of Xi Liang, and he was duty-bound. Moreover, he was also a lesser celestial stage expert. If he went to the Qin Nation, it would definitely be helpful. If he did not succeed in this trip, then even if West Flowery died, he, the emperor, would not be able to protect Liang Prefecture.
Chen Qing didn't care much about Ji Ning's avoidance. He would kill Ji Ning sooner or later. Ji Ning would not change this point.
As of now, only the two great clans of the Western Lion Country were known as the Qi and Song Feudal Lords. Ji Ning had Song Qianshu and Qi Mo Xuan come together to send him off, but he also had the intention of showing confidence in them — even though there were many things that were of no use.
In Cheng Qing's eyes, this was more of a deterrent. When they went to the Qin Nation, the only ones who had the ability to do anything to them were the Qi Feudal Lords and Song Feudal Lord.
Ji Ning: "Everyone from the Feudal Lords family wants to know how strong Cheng Qing is right now. Let everyone know that anyone who dares to cause displeasure to Cheng Qing, be they the head of the Feudal Lords family or an important official of the court, will all be annihilated."
This proved to be Ji Ning's broken arm.
Qi Mo Xuan was speechless. He knew Cheng Qing had caused Ji Ning's arm to be broken, but now, Ji Ning didn't even reveal a hint of resentment. He was even calling Cheng Qing his brother. He could only look at Cheng Qing with reverence in his eyes.
In this situation, if Cheng Qing and Ji Ning worked together, no one in the whole of Xi Liang Country would be able to fight against them.
Ji Ning knew that Cheng Qing wouldn't allow someone to harm Xi Liang at this time. This was also the reason why the latter gathered all of the cultivators of the An Tian Sect to guard the city. The moment he discovered any movement, Cheng Qing would immediately know. With a backhand move, he would be able to destroy a person's soul.
This was the reason why Ji Ning dared to go to the Qin Nation.
What Ji Ning didn't know was that before he came to Liangzhou, Cheng Qing had made a trip to the White Deer Cave.
On one hand, it was to let Lin Xin know at first sight. On the other hand, it was to discuss countermeasures with Song Jiao, Nangong Yi, and the others regarding what would happen next in Xi Liang. As Chen Qing's teacher in his previous life, he had a deep relationship with the White Deer Cave and was well aware of its secrets.
