Chapter 273 The Challenge of Japanese Scarlet Cherry Wine
There were messy footsteps, as if someone was chasing someone.
Bai Ningyu was not going to pay any attention to it, but she saw two figures nimbly flipping into her yard.
The person who came was the man wearing black sunglasses who had helped him before.
The other one was the middle-aged man in the trio at the Yumen Mountain Taoist Temple.
Bai Ningyu twitched her lips. It looked like she couldn't take this bath.
The two of them also noticed Bai Ningyu's gaze, and their eyes met, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
The man wearing black sunglasses scratched his head and greeted Bai Ningyu. He smiled brightly and said, "Hi, beautiful lady, can you lend me a place to hide?"
Bai Ningyu's brows moved slightly, and she said calmly, "Please do as you please."
"Okay, thank you very much. Let my apprentice treat you to green pepper fried rice some other day." With that, the man wearing black sunglasses disappeared into the darkness.
However, when the middle-aged man saw Bai Ningyu, he was slightly stunned. He felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it.
At this moment, a man wearing black sunglasses suddenly appeared from nowhere and placed his hand on the middle-aged man's shoulder. "Disciple, why are you staring at this beautiful woman like that? Are you abandoning your Mr. Zhang?"
"Go to hell, don't talk nonsense, I just feel like we seem to have met somewhere..." said the middle-aged man.
The man wearing black sunglasses burst out laughing: "What era is it now? Your way of chatting me up is too old-fashioned."
At this moment, Bai Ningyu said, "If you don't hide well, they will come."
After hearing this, the two of them hid themselves.
Sure enough, after just a moment, there were knocks on the doors of several villas, and Bai Ningyu's was no exception.
Bai Ningyu just made a hand gesture to eliminate their breath, changed back to Cheng Shuang's face, and then opened the door.
Outside the door were Qiu Zixiao and two people from Sky Island. Each of them was holding a third-grade spiritual beast, a jackal, in one hand and standing in front of the door.
Seeing Bai Ningyu open the door, Qiu Zixiao's worried expression eased a little: "Miss Cheng, the guard just said that they found two people who trespassed into the Sky Island. They ran to this area and disappeared.
For your safety, I would like you to move in with me temporarily."
At this point, Qiu Zixiao hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm only doing this because it's safer where I am."
Bai Ningyu expressed her understanding, but still politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Qiu, but there are so many people on the island, and it would be inconvenient if someone saw me. I'd rather stay here. Don't worry, with my strength, ordinary scoundrels can't hurt me."
Qiu Zixiao didn't force the suitcase. Seeing that the jackal didn't react at all after smelling the strange smell, he felt relieved. However, he still reminded Bai Ningyu to be careful and then left.
Bai Ningyu slipped into the house and ignored the two people hiding in the darkness.
The two of them left quietly only after the noise outside completely died down.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Bai Ningyu curled the corners of her lips. Interesting, another immortal.
The next morning, Bai Ningyu received a call from Director Ye, saying that they had received a challenge from the alchemist Feiyingjiu of the Jiuju Sect of Japan.
One month later, Feiyingjiu will lead the Japanese alchemists to challenge the Chinese alchemists at the Chinese Alchemist Conference.
The person Feiyingjiu wants to challenge is Bai Ningyu.
The Alchemist Conference will be held in Mount Tai. Feiyingjiu undoubtedly wants to defeat Bai Ningyu on the top of Mount Tai, the number one mountain in China.
The purpose is to dampen the Chinese people's fighting spirit and to avenge the members of the Jiujiu faction.
If China does not accept the challenge, it will appear that it is incompetent. However, if it accepts the challenge, the gap in strength between the two sides is too great. Director Ye is afraid that Bai Ningyu will be in danger.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Feiyingjiu was not here to challenge. She clearly wanted to rely on her strength to crush Bai Ningyu and destroy the spiritual pillar of the Chinese people.
Feiyingjiu is over fifty years old and is almost as old as three Bai Ningyu. Now he is a grandmaster and a ninth-grade alchemist.
No matter how powerful Bai Ningyu is, she is just an eighteen-year-old child. She is still too immature to face Feiyingjiu. How can she defeat such a person?
Director Ye was very troubled by this. On the one hand, it was the reputation of the country, and on the other hand, such an outstanding talent was facing death. He had mixed feelings in his heart.
She even thought of asking Bai Ningyu to claim illness at that time, but she did not force Bai Ningyu to accept the challenge.
Bai Ningyu narrowed her eyes. To break through from the current sixth rank to the ninth rank in just one month was simply a fantasy.
Although she also wants to contribute to the country, she also cherishes her hard-earned life.
So Bai Ningyu only told Director Ye that she would see about it later, and she neither agreed nor refused.
Director Ye finally sighed and hung up the phone.
However, the next second, Lu Ming called.
As soon as Bai Ningyu answered the phone, she heard Lu Ming say angrily, "Director Bai, that Feiyingjiu is so shameless!
Don't you think she's that old, yet she's still challenging a little girl like you? Isn't she afraid of being laughed at by the world?
Director Bai, if you ask me, whether you claim to be sick or injured, you must not act on impulse and accept the challenge of that old witch. She clearly wants to take your life.
We have a long way to go, so losing face is not a big deal. We have a long way to go. With your strength, I believe it won't be long before you surpass Feiyingjiu. It won't be too late to fight again then."
Bai Ningyu felt warm at heart when she heard this, and she said soothingly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Ningyu fell into deep thought. In anyone's eyes, this battle would end in failure.
How can I reach the ninth rank within this month?
Thinking of this, Bai Ningyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even she herself felt that this idea was ridiculous.
