I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

When the gate opened, Yuan Shan's smiling face appeared.

He stood at the door and nodded to the three of them, "I heard there's a new guest in Room A, and I guess it's you guys."

"Excuse me for disturbing you." He raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the pile of food on the table. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch. "It seems I came at the wrong time?"

Ning Ruan nodded, "It's really not the right time."

Yuan Shan didn't expect to hear such a sentence: "..."

I had clearly sent him a message before to ask about the magic weapon.

Now that he has arrived, the other party is no longer in a hurry.

His smile remained unchanged. "Fellow Daoist Ning, perhaps we can discuss what we discussed yesterday."

Ning Ruan drank another mouthful of porridge and looked at him puzzledly: "But didn't you say yesterday that it was a matter of close friends and it was inconvenient to disclose it?"

"What? You don't care about your best friend today?"

"..."

Yuan Shan almost couldn't hold back his facial expression.

I really wanted to just turn around and leave.

What's going on here is not buying and selling.

But he had no choice but to hurry up.

Who could have thought this guy could cause so much trouble?

"Fellow Daoist Ning, to be honest, my reason for coming here today is related to my close friend."

"Something happened to your best friend?" Ning Ruan asked in surprise.

Yuan Shan: “…”

He forced a wry smile and said, "That's right."

"Fellow Daoist Ning, how about we have a proper talk?"

Ning Ruan nodded: "That's fine, wait until I finish my meal."

"..."

Tolerate!

Yuan Shan smiled.

Yuan Shan nodded.

"Then I will wait for you, fellow Taoist."

"It's not a wait." Ning Ruan said, "It will take longer. You can go back first and come back later."

go back?

Coming later?

It's dinner time now, so won't it be time to rest later?

Although monks don't necessarily need to rest.

But monks don’t have to eat.

For someone who considers eating more important than clues to magical weapons, will he take a rest later?

Yuan Shan doesn't want to gamble.

I don’t dare to gamble either.

So I just shamelessly walked in and considerately closed the door.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, I don't think it's necessary to go to such trouble." He walked aside, "I'll just wait here."

It's just a meal.

He can still wait!

Ning Ruan said 'Oh', "Then wait."

After saying that, he really continued eating.

There was no intention of inviting Yuan Shan to sit with him.

Enjoy the food here.

All of them are foods that are colorful, fragrant, and full of spiritual power, and have various benefits.

On the other side, you can only stand alone.

He didn't even have a stool.

I could only pretend to enjoy the scenery. Fortunately, this was Room A, so there were indeed some views to enjoy.

If he lived in that cramped little courtyard, he wouldn't even be able to pretend.

But even if he could pretend, the smell over there still made Yuan Shan instinctively feel a little greedy.

Want to eat something.

But you can only look at it, not eat it.

I can only comfort myself silently, it’s just a meal, there’s no need to endure it for too long.

But he obviously underestimated Ning Ruan's eating speed.

I also underestimated her appetite.

The meal just lasted a long time.

It's been so long that Yuan Shan has become numb.

Ning Ruan finally finished her meal.

But it's not all good.

She was holding a spiritual fruit in her hand and eating it.

Yuan Shan: “…”

This is not the human race.

Are they cannibals?

So edible.

"Haha...Fellow Daoist Ning has a good appetite."

Ning Ruan asked back, "Do you have a poor appetite?"

Yuan Shan swallowed and tried not to look at the table of leftovers that were still emitting a rich aroma.

"I don't care about food," he said.

Ning Ruan nodded seriously: "I noticed it, that's why I didn't invite you to dinner, for fear that you would be embarrassed."

Yuan Shan: “…”

Hehehe!

It's really embarrassing!

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Ning, for thinking of me."

Thank you, your whole family!

Ning Ruan waved her hand, "You're welcome, I've always been such a warm-hearted person."

"Okay, now let's talk about what we were going to talk about?"

"What did you want to say?"

Yuan Shan took a deep breath and looked around, "This may not be the place to talk."

Ning Ruan said: "Don't worry, I have set up other formations here, it won't affect our conversation."

Yuan Shan still didn't speak.

His gaze swept between the female general and Mu Yiqiu, and he sent a voice message, "Fellow Daoist Ning, how about we talk via voice transmission?"

"No need." Ning Ruan said directly, "Just put it this way, they all know."

Yuan Shan's brows jumped again when he heard this.

One is obviously a protector, and the other is at most a fellow practitioner or a fellow disciple.

You didn't hide anything at all?

At this moment, Yuan Shan couldn't help but wonder whether he was wrong in choosing this big fish.

What if he really is the kind of person who has a strong sense of responsibility towards humanity and turns around and tells the human race?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

In the end, he forced himself to suppress his concerns.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

If you miss this big fish, it will probably not be easy to find another one.

He forced out a trace of just the right amount of sadness on his face, and deliberately lowered his voice a few degrees, speaking with sorrow:

"Fellow Daoist Ning is right. Alas, I came here today to tell you that my dear friend... he... he has passed away."

Ning Ruan paused while chewing the spiritual fruit and looked up at him with a calm expression, showing neither surprise nor sympathy.

"Oh? A close friend who was fine yesterday is gone today? Your close friend... is quite fragile."

“…” Yuan Shan felt like his heart was stabbed again.

He took a deep breath and tried to maintain a mournful expression. "Life is unpredictable. Who can predict it? Just last night I received news that he... he was killed by someone seeking revenge!"

He spoke with gritted teeth, his eyes even slightly red, his acting was superb.

"Revenge?" Ning Ruan swallowed the last bite of fruit flesh and crushed the core casually. "That's pretty tragic. So, what? Once he's dead, can you tell me about the immortal weapon?"

Ning Ruan suddenly opened her eyes wide, "I didn't do this, don't try to wrongly accuse me. Although I asked you about the magic weapon, but you didn't tell me, there was no need for me to kill your best friend. I'm not the kind of person who would go far away to get what's near."

Abandoning the near for the far?

So, you can kill me first, the one who's 'closer'?

Is this something humans do?

Yuan Shan's expression was almost cracked.

I was even choked and almost forgot the words.

He quickly shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Ning has misunderstood. The truth is... my best friend, a few other Daoists, and I happened to stumble into a small ruined world by coincidence."

"There are no traces of other races in the Small Remnant Realm. They must have been lost for a long time."

He paused deliberately, staring at Ning Ruan with burning eyes, trying to see a hint of eagerness or greed on her face.

However, Ning Ruan just said "Oh" and slowly took out a handful of melon seeds from her storage ring. She cracked one open with a "crack" sound, as if she was listening to a storyteller: "And then? The immortal weapon is here?"

Yuan Shan felt a breath stuck in his chest, unable to move it up or down.

This reaction...how does it look like he's interested in the immortal weapon?

All his attempts and attempts that had always worked in the past seemed to be hitting cotton today.
