The sunset slowly descended.
The setting sun reflected on the river surface, and a tower ship was fast advancing along the river.
"Lord Jiang, why aren’t you drinking?" Zhong Yue looked at Jiang Ning.
"She shouldn’t be watching us anymore!" Jiang Ning said.
Upon hearing this, both Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, the two of them saw Jiang Ning handing over those spoils but didn’t express any opinion because Jiang Ning had secretly communicated with them.
They also understood that the situation was stronger than the people.
If they had a conflict with the Qingyang Sect, not only would they gain nothing, but they would also put themselves in danger.
The Qingyang Sect is a reclusive great sect with a complete Pocket World.
Such reclusive great sects are never simple.
Each one has been passed down from the Ancient Era to the present, possessing complete legacies and nurous old monsters comparable to Immortals.
There might even be Lesser Immortals among them.
Though the world’s environnt has changed, it hardly affects those small worlds independent of the large world.
Worlds like the Shangyang Cave Heaven possess complete world rules.
The Qingyang Cave Heaven is even more so.
For this reason, the three understood that the old woman who appeared must be an Elder level figure, comparable to an Immortal.
Even in the outside world, such individuals, who practice the Ancient Immortal thod, cannot draw upon the world’s power with their moves, and their spiritual power is limited.
This causes their combat power to drop by a whole notch.
But even so, they are not opponents they can contend with.
In the outside world, only top Great Grandmasters of the Second Grade and even those who have reached the First-grade Martial Arts Peak, have the qualifications to stand before such figures.
With Jiang Ning’s communication, the two didn’t speak up.
Even after leaving, they didn’t discuss the matter, only showing their support for Jiang Ning’s decision.
After leaving, the two also did not talk about the matter.
Because Jiang Ning had communicated to them, telling them that soone seed to be observing from the shadows.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s ssage, the two understood that it was the old woman from the Qingyang Cave Heaven observing with Divine Sense.
They had no doubt about Jiang Ning’s judgnt.
Having witnessed Long Xiaofeng’s strength and then seeing him defeated by Jiang Ning, they realized Jiang Ning’s strength was above theirs.
The two naturally believed in Jiang Ning’s judgnt.
Now, hearing Jiang Ning say that the secret observation had disappeared,
they instantly let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
At this mont,
Jiang Ning also sighed secretly.
Just having seen that old woman from the Qingyang Sect, he felt his whole body shudder.
His strong intuition provided feedback to his body.
This was not only due to the oppression from a powerful person but also the instinctive oppression from a higher level of life.
Just like a dostic dog, although it has never seen a mountain tiger, would beco extrely terrified at first sight.
He imdiately understood that the old woman had reached the peak of the Human Dao Domain in the Immortal Realm and had an incredibly profound level in the Martial Arts Realm.
For this reason, he had no intention of being tough.
It’s not worth tearing face with such a person over so spoils, nor is it wise.
But he won’t forget today, and one day, he will demand an explanation.
Thinking of this, his eyes flickered, and he clenched his fists.
"My things aren’t so easily taken!"
anwhile,
Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue shared a stern glance.
Jiang Ning released his grip and thought about those spoils, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
Such good items, if auctioned, might fetch an astonishing price.
They were complete flying sword treasures, not those already damaged and incomplete treasures.
"What are your plans for the future, Lord Jiang?" Ye Zhengqi suddenly asked.
Jiang Ning returned to his senses: "I plan to digest and reflect on the insights from this journey and enhance my strength first!"
"In that case, we won’t disturb you!" Ye Zhengqi said.
He hadn’t forgotten that Jiang Ning had ntioned earlier that he gained so insight in Martial Arts.
To Ye Zhengqi, this seed reasonable and expected.
He knew Jiang Ning hadn’t been in many battles along the way, mostly focusing on diligent practice.
This journey in the Pocket World, with constant battles, surely led to insights and gains.
Hearing Ye Zhengqi’s words, Zhong Yue stood up and said,
"Gentlen, I’ll arrange the rooms for you two to stay!"
Then, he turned to Ye Zhengqi and said, "Brother Ye, you’re not in a hurry, are you?"
"Not at all!" Ye Zhengqi shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue smiled: "In that case, Brother Ye, enjoy so drinks these days. Who knows when we might et again after this farewell."
"With pleasure!" Ye Zhengqi replied.
Then he turned to Jiang Ning.
"By the way, Lord Jiang, I’ve already reported your performance in Shishan County a few days ago, and before long, you might receive your rewards! For solving a county’s disaster and saving countless people, a D-level significant rit might be granted!"
"Thank you!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands.
...
A mont later.
"Mr. Jiang, this is your room!" A maid led Jiang Ning to his guest room and pushed open the originally closed door.
Imdiately, a draft of wind blew from the room, and the cool river breeze at sunset swept against Jiang Ning’s forehead, lifting his bangs.
"Thank you!" Jiang Ning received the room key handed over by the maid with both hands, expressed his gratitude, and then stepped over the threshold into the room.
The room he entered was quite spacious, probably over several dozen square ters.
The windows facing the river in front were open, and a refreshing river breeze blew in.
Jiang Ning turned to close the room door and hung the key on a side wall.
