Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 330: Solving Difficulties 2

Meng Ning left Baotian Courtyard in a hurry, but he deliberately made his steps light, as if he was afraid of disturbing something in the night.

There were few pedestrians on the street, with only a few dim lanterns swaying in the wind, reflecting Meng Ning's slightly solemn face.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. A waning moon was obscured by thick dark clouds. The moonlight was dim, and it seemed as if even the sky was shrouded in a haze.

"Master Lu, Meng Ning wants to see you."

He stood in front of the Lu Mansion, his voice low, but with a hint of urgency that could not be ignored.

Soon, the housekeeper quietly led him into the backyard.

Lu Dahai was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. The aroma of the tea formed a sharp contrast with the chill of the night.

Seeing Meng Ning, he smiled slightly and waved, "Friend Meng, you've come just in time. Come have a cup of tea with me."

Meng Ning sat down opposite Lu Dahai, looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, he whispered, "Master Lu, things have been turbulent recently. I'm afraid there are some things that need to be prepared in advance."

Lu Dahai looked normal. He blew on the tea surface gently and said calmly, "Oh? The wind is rising and the clouds are surging? What wind and clouds are you referring to, Mr. Meng?"

Meng Ning leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "Ten days from now, Yangzhou City will be in great trouble. Evil corpses will be rampant. I'm afraid even Baotianyuan will find it difficult to resist."

Hearing this, Lu Dahai raised his eyebrows slightly, and then chuckled: "Meng Xiaoyou, where did you get this information? Baotianyuan is one of the ten great righteous families in the world. A mere evil corpse is not worth mentioning."

Meng Ning's heart sank, knowing that Lu Dahai did not take his words to heart, so he tried to test him: "Master Lu, this matter is very serious. If we don't take precautions early, I'm afraid..."

"Friend Meng."

Lu Dahai interrupted him, his tone still gentle, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty, "You just need to concentrate on completing your task, and Baotianyuan will handle the rest."

Meng Ning remained silent, but bitter emotions were surging in his heart.

He knew that compared to himself, Lu Dahai was more willing to trust Baotian Temple, which had protected Yangzhou City for a thousand years.

After all, the premise for him to place his bet on me was that I could capture the mysterious evil corpse Qiandeng.

Before this, my importance in his heart could never exceed that of Baotianyuan.

What's more, Lu Dahai was going to marry off his granddaughter during the Thousand Lantern Festival, and he certainly didn't want his plans to be ruined by a few words from me.

Haha, right now, although it is ironic, it seems that I can only go to find Qiandeng.

Perhaps, the only ones who truly want to save the people of Yangzhou City are her and me.

After leaving Lu Mansion, Meng Ning went straight to Shili Waterside Pavilion.

Under the cover of night, the Shili Waterside Pavilion is brightly lit, with the sound of stringed instruments lingering in the air, making it seem like a paradise isolated from the world.

He arrived at Tianshang Renjian with ease and came to Qiandeng's room.

When he pushed the door open, Qian Deng was sitting in front of the mirror dressing. Seeing him coming, she didn't show much surprise, but just smiled faintly: "Mr. Meng, you come to visit me so late at night, is there something important to discuss with you?"

Meng Ning stood at the door, his eyes like torches, and said slowly: "Miss Qiandeng, I came here today to discuss a deal with you."

Qianqiu paused for a moment, then continued to comb her hair, saying calmly, "Oh? What deal does Mr. Meng want to discuss?"

Meng Ning sneered when he saw this. This woman was quite patient.

He took a few steps closer and whispered, "I know who you are. You are a spy for the Nine Realms Sect, a mysterious evil corpse that only kills those who betray their hearts, and you have been protecting the Lu family's Qiandeng for thousands of years."

"Or should I call you Qiandeng, or Lu Fengqiu, or Qianqiu?"

Qianqiu finally stopped her movements. She slowly put down the comb, turned around and looked at Meng Ning, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Mr. Meng, since you know my identity, why do you dare to come here alone? Do you think I won't attack you?"

Meng Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "You don't have the ability. I came here today because I want to cooperate with you."

"cooperate?"

Qianqiu chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Mr. Meng, you and I have been fighting for a long time in recent days. Why do you think I will cooperate with you?"

Meng Ning looked her straight in the eyes and said slowly, "Because you and I have a common goal - to stop the fight between Jiujiemen and Baotianyuan and save the people of Yangzhou City."

Afterwards, Meng Ning explained to Qiandeng the plans of Baotianyuan and Jiujiemen.

After hearing this, Qian Deng sneered, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "It sounds like I have become a key figure in this game."

She turned around slowly, her skirt drawing a graceful arc in the moonlight, "But, Master Meng, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to just kill me on the spot?

Why choose such a roundabout way?"

Meng Ning's expression was calm, his eyes were sharp, "You were able to escape without dying from the attack of two powerful masters. I have seen this skill before."

He paused, his tone somewhat calm, "I am confident that I can repel you, but I am not absolutely sure that I can stop you and kill you.

Compared to the lives of the people in the city, this risk is not worth taking."

"Heh." Qian Deng chuckled and tapped the window lightly with her jade fingers. "Mr. Meng is a wise man."

Qianqiu was silent for a moment, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he asked: "What do you want me to do?"

Meng Ning whispered, "The Nine Realms Sect wants you to spread the Dream of Ten Thousand Industries. You just need to pretend to agree to them. Then I will use my magical powers to transfer you away and ruin their plan."

Qianqiu frowned when he heard this: "Is it that simple?"

Meng Ning nodded: "Sometimes, the simplest way is the most effective way."

Qianqiu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, you have a good plan.

But why should I believe you? And why should you believe me? "

Meng Ning looked at her meaningfully and said slowly: "You can not believe me, but you have no other choice."

"Similarly, I have no other choice if I want to save the people in the city."

“We can only cooperate!”

When Qianqiu heard this, something strange flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled, "Interesting. But, Master Meng, you know that once you step into this game, there is no turning back."

"I've died once before, so I'm not afraid. What about you?"

Meng Ning looked determined and said calmly, "I understand."

Qianqiu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night in the distance, and said with a hint of inexplicable emotion: "The ten-day deadline is approaching, and time is running out."

"I don't expect you to be able to send me away smoothly, but you should not regret making this choice either!"

Meng Ning nodded.

"Very good. As long as we leave at that time, the people from the Nine Realms Gate will not be able to spread the Dream of Ten Thousand Industries, and the event will naturally end."

"And since Baotianyuan didn't have the Nine Realms Gate to summon a group of zombies to clean up its mess, it wouldn't dare to massacre the city so blatantly. The massacre would naturally be cancelled."

"As long as you, the key figure, disappear, the dilemma will be solved!"
