Chapter Seventeen: Unfortunate Coincidence

For three consecutive days, Ning Chen was doing laundry and doing odd jobs in the backyard of Lingyan Pavilion. He had never been to the front hall. Except for Li Er who came to talk to him from time to time, the rest of the people rarely came to the backyard.

The luxury of the front hall and the deserted backyard will be in sharp contrast when night falls. When the lights first rise, Lingyan Pavilion will show its extremely prosperous face. The fireworks and willow alleys are always a gentle place where men linger.

At this time, the backyard was the quietest. Ning Chen liked to look at the stars. He always felt that there was a star in the sky that was his home. Although he couldn't find it, he would always find it.

He was wondering where he had come to, and if this was no longer the original earth, why could he still see the strange phenomenon that Ying Huo Shouxin could only be seen on the earth?

Looking at the stars in the sky, Ning Chen's eyes were confused and his heart was even more confused. The stars and the bright moon did not see the most familiar blue memory.

Tired of searching and counting, Ning Chen moved his eyes to the moon in the sky and carefully distinguished that the moon in this world was indeed different from his previous life. It was a faint red color, and it looked like it was covered with a layer of blood mist, and it was illusory and unreal.

I heard that this world was created by gods, and the moon in the sky was transformed by the ancient creation gods. The Eternal Night God Church believed in the only god in the legend and always believed that the gods would come again.

Ning Chen doesn’t like this legend. If the gods really exist, then what was his belief in life that he firmly believed in in his previous life?

Gods are more valuable if they live in legends, and there is no need for gods on earth.

The mental method that Mu Chengxue gave him was not smooth. He couldn't understand too many things. He practiced the places he could understand for a few days but didn't feel any effect. However, he believed that the effect would always appear after accumulating less and becoming more.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, he could feel a slight ray of air flowing along the veins in his body. Every time he ran, the air flow would increase slightly.

Ning Chen was so happy that he was indeed a peerless genius who had never met in a hundred and eighty years.

However, he didn't know that true energy needed moves to play a role, and there were records on the golden paper, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.

Mu Chengxue's original intention was to strengthen his body, so even if he knew that he might not understand anything except the previous lines, he would not have the intention to teach him.

Ning Chen didn't care either. It was not that he was open-minded, but that he didn't know about it at all. Anyway, he knew that his practice had been effective, so the rest were not allowed.

In this way, he worked during the day and practiced at night for nearly half a month. Ning Chen was so happy that he was quiet, but he didn't know that something big had happened outside.

Li'er still comes to him every day as usual, but unfortunately, she is undoubtedly defeated when facing Ning Chen's poisonous tongue. Sometimes she is extremely angry. She bit her teeth hard and then ran back to the front hall happily.

Ning Chen didn't know how many tooth marks there were on his arm, but he still didn't have a memory every time. He made the little girl so angry that she was so angry that she was itchy.

It has become common for the two to argue. Even if they were angry the day before, they could not stop Li'er from running to the back hall. Once, when she talked about the rumored incident outside, Ning Chen was stunned for a while, but finally left it behind. He came out, and these things had nothing to do with him. Let Changsun and the others have a headache.

But two days later, Ning Chen discovered that something really gave him a headache.

His only shoes are scrapped...

When he ran away, he brought his changing clothes but forgot to bring his shoes. After persisting for so long, he finally sacrificed his heroic sacrifice. This time he couldn't think of going out.

But, he has no money!

The shopkeeper paid back Yue Hanyi before he gave him, but now he doesn't have a penny. Not to mention buying shoes, he can't afford to buy insoles.

While there was nothing wrong in the morning, Ning Chen arrived at the front hall, looked left and right, and looked for Yue Hanyi's figure.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Li'er saw Ning Chen coming early in the morning and went forward to ask fiercely.

"You need wages" Ning Chen said with confidence. He has been working for so many days, so he can't just leave a penny.

Li'er looked at Ning Chen as if she had discovered a new continent, and said, "You are so embarrassed to ask for wages."

"Haha" Ning Chen smiled guiltily, knowing that he was in a loss, but he couldn't do it without wages. He simply sewed the shoes, but he couldn't hold on for a few days.

"Sister Yi is not here, you might as well wait for her to come back." Li'er was defeated by Ning Chen's shamelessness. Unexpectedly, his face was so shocking in addition to his mouth.

"Then Li'er, please lend me some money first, use it urgently."

Ning Chen struggled for a moment, but finally spoke up quite embarrassedly. He was embarrassed that he actually fell to borrow money from a little girl.

"What are you doing?" Li'er was stunned at first, then looked at the former suspiciously, like a scammer.

Looking at Li'er's eyes, Ning Chen felt that his personality was insulted and said angrily, "What's your look? I just borrow money to buy a pair of shoes. Am I like the kind of person who borrows money and doesn't pay it back!"

Li'er looked down at Ning Chen's shoes, thought for a while, and said, "You want to go out to buy shoes?"

"Well" Ning Chen nodded very hard.

"Wait a minute"

After saying a word, Li'er ran to her room, took the money and explained to several women dressed in maids, and then jumped back.

"Okay, let's go"

"You go too?" Ning Chen said curiously.

Li'er glanced at the former with contempt and said, "You owe 100 taels of silver. You are going to run away. How can I explain to Sister Yi when she comes back?"

"..." Ning Chen was speechless. Does he look like that kind of person? Does he look like that!

The location of Lingyan Pavilion is the most prosperous place in the imperial city. Ning Chen was dazzled by the sight. Li'er followed him, staring at him cautiously, for fear that he would run away.

"Li'er, I've said that I won't run away."

Ning Chen stopped and turned around and repeated helplessly. He didn't know how many times he said this sentence, but Li'er just didn't believe it.

"That's not sure." Li'er didn't believe Ning Chen's words at all. One hundred taels of silver were enough to buy several of hers.

The little girl didn't believe it, and Ning Chen didn't know anything and let him follow him.

After walking for a long time, Ning Chen's body suddenly paused, his expression froze, as if he had seen a ghost.

Li'er didn't expect that Ning Chen would suddenly stop. She bumped into him when she was careless. She immediately covered her red forehead with pain, and her little face was full of anger: "What are you doing?"

"Don't talk." Ning Chen came to his senses and quickly covered the little girl's mouth, dragged her half and half to the fortune telling stall aside to block her body.

With the fortune teller's cloth card blocking, Ning Chen looked ahead carefully, and didn't dare to breathe for a moment. How could she be here?

"Wuwu" beside him, Li'er was covered with her mouth and nose, breathing was not smooth, and she struggled with her face flushed.

When Ning Chen saw it, he quickly let go, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, almost forgot about the little girl.

"You want to suffocate me to death!" Li'er took a few breaths, felt extremely angry, reached out and hit the former hard, and said angrily.

"Shh, whisper." Ning Chen put his finger on his mouth and snorted, looking at the beautiful figure not far away in front of him with guilt, praying in his heart that he would never be discovered.

"What's wrong?" Li'er was attracted by Ning Chen's gaze. She looked along but found nothing strange.

"Enemy hunting"

Ning Chen casually fooled him, but it was almost the same. When he was caught, he would lose his skin even if he didn't die.

"Would you like to tell fortunes, test fortunes, make up for good and bad luck, and don't be allowed to pay money?" At this moment, the middle-aged olympic scholar on the stall asked.

"I have no money"

Ning Chen refused without hesitation, fool him? Don’t even think about it!

"I can do a fortune-telling for the young master for free." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said without caring.

Ning Chen ignored him and continued to observe the enemy situation. Why didn't this aunt leave yet? Could it be that Changsun sent him to arrest him?

"Young Master is hiding alone?" the middle-aged man smiled.

"Nonsense" Ning Chen replied contemptuously, it was enough to make up for it, even the blind man could tell.

The middle-aged man added.

"Honey" Ning Chen is still unmoved. There are only men and women in this world, either men or women, and it is not uncommon to be right.

The middle-aged man in the palace continued to speak.

"Yeah, yeah?" Ning Chen responded first, then was stunned, looking at the big fool in front of him in surprise. He had some skills, and he could be right.

"Young Master, what I said below is correct?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Hehe" Ning Chen smiled perfunctorily, "It's so cool. I thought I was an Iron Mouth God when I met twice. I'm x. This sign is really written as an Iron Mouth God.

Seeing that Ning Chen still didn't believe it, the middle-aged prime minister continued to say, "Young Master, I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Sometimes fate must be there. Don't force it in your destiny. Cause and effect are determined by heaven. It's not something that the young master can hide if he wants."

After waiting for a while, Ning Chen saw the beautiful figure not far away and finally left. He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Xiangshi, pointed to his nose and said, "Calculate where I am?"

The middle-aged ostentatious scholar was stunned and said, "I heard from the young master's accent, I should be from the capital."

"Bad, I'm an earthling"

After the words came, Ning Chen pulled Li'er and quickly flew away. He couldn't stay here anymore, and it would be a disaster if he was caught.

Li'er was confused by the conversation between the two. She hadn't reacted yet. She watched Ning Chen walk back and asked subconsciously: "Why are you going back? Are you not buying shoes?"

"If you don't buy it, your life is important," Ning Chen replied nervously.

"Oh" Li'er didn't know what happened, but when she saw the former nervous look, she still followed her back obediently.

When he walked to Lingyan Pavilion, Ning Chen looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he pulled Li'er and ran in two steps. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous, but fortunately he had good eyesight.

"You're tired, have a cup of tea"

In a gentle and moving voice, a cup of tea was handed to her. Ning Chen was dry and without thinking, he took it and drank it all in one gulp, and thanked him:

"Thanks"

"puff"

When the tea was in his mouth, Ning Chen suddenly squirted out, turned around tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Qing... Sister Qingning"

"Is it a good place to hide? It's easy for me to find it?"

Qingning responded lightly, and there was no anger or anger on her beautiful face, but Ning Chen was still so scared that he didn't dare to breathe.

Ning Chen remembered it very clearly that he tied up the lime when he ran away, offending this aunt and was dead this time.

My mind changed and I thought about how to get out, but when I thought of Qingning's skills, I gave up these thoughts of seeking death.

"Okay, I've had enough fun after so many days. It's time to go back with me." Undoubted words, Qingning glanced at Ning Chen, and the warning in her eyes was very obvious. If she was disobedient, don't blame her for being rude.

Ning Chen trembled in his heart and asked tentatively: "Is the Empress angry?"

"What do you think?" Qingning laughed so much that she was embarrassed to ask.

When Ning Chen heard this, his head immediately shook like a rattle, "If I don't go back, the empress will chop my head."

"You know you're scared now." Qingning wanted to slap the kid to death, falsely spread the queen's decree, stealing objects from the palace, and privately escaping from the palace. All of them were the death penalty of beheading the head. This guy was all in one go.

"I know" Ning Chen nodded quickly.

Seeing Ning Chen's nervous look, Qingning didn't want to scare him, and said slightly, "You go back with me first. The empress has already suppressed the matter, just to save your life. You can admit your mistakes with the empress after you go back. As for the specific handling, it depends on the empress's mood."
