Grandpa, times have changed.

They could either leave with Brother Xu or stay in the settlement.

With no predetermined 'fate' left, she only had these two choices.

She could choose the former; Brother Xu might take pity on her and leave with her.

But what she wanted was far more than just pity.

and……

She also has her own things to do.

"how."

Ning Ruo supported half of her cheek with one hand.

"Is Brother Xu worried that I won't be a good leader?"

"That's not it." Xu Xing shook his head slightly. "I just didn't expect you to be so decisive."

If Ning becomes the leader, will he be able to improve this settlement...?

No one knows for sure; only time will tell.

But if she isn't the leader, that's definitely not a good thing.

After all, Ning Ruo is stronger than Lie!

In today's world, that alone is enough.

He had seen many settlements along the way, and the leaders of each one were the strongest in their respective settlements.

There were a few exceptions, but they were all similar to the situation in Feng and Mo's settlement.

The strongest must unconditionally trust the leader who is weaker than him.

But in this settlement, that situation is clearly not going to happen.

Don't talk about unconditional trust...

Given Ning Ruo's mental state not long ago, it was already quite remarkable that she was able to refrain from killing Lie and Jing.

"I was just going with the flow."

Lie and Jing gave her a chance, so of course she couldn't miss it.

This is the least costly and least likely way to cause unrest in the settlement while still allowing oneself to regain the leadership position.

"Speaking of which, if Brother Xu is worried that I won't do a good job, why don't you stay and supervise me?"

She probed in a half-joking manner.

Gee!

The abacus beads are practically falling on my face.

Chi Jiuyu harbored resentment.

Unfortunately, my uncle will definitely not agree.

really.

"No, thank you." Xu Xing shook his head slightly.

"The cultivation method of Yangwu Realm has been completed, and I must pass it on to more people."

"As for this place..."

"I hope that when I come back here, I will see that it has become better."

Again.

He couldn't predict whether things would get better after Ning Ruo became the new leader.

In front of her, who can see your true feelings, saying things like "I believe in you" is meaningless.

It's better to tell the truth.

"I definitely won't let Brother Xu down."

The result was exactly as expected, so Ning Ruo wasn't too disappointed.

"Then where should I look for you, Brother Xu, in the future?"

"Find me?"

"I've said it before, I like you, Brother Xu, and I can't be the leader forever. There will always be someone more suitable than me."

"..."

Xu Xing hesitated for two seconds before finally taking out a red gemstone with a golden vertical mark engraved in the middle and handing it to her.

It was the very treasure that Wu Shi used to contact San Shi and the others back then.

They could be exchanged within the Myriad Races Academy; they weren't particularly rare treasures. So when Xu Xing came, he used his last remaining exchange points to exchange for some and took them with him.

“I came from the Eastern Wilderness Region. You can go there to find me, but I won’t always be here.”

Given Ning Ruo's qualifications and her current style of doing things, she certainly won't stay in the settlement forever; she'll go out and travel sooner or later.

"If you can't find it in the Eastern Wilderness, it will guide you."

A strange light flashed in Ning Ruo's eyes as she reached out and took the gemstone.

"Okay, I've got it."

Expressing my feelings last time was indeed very effective.

She could sense that Brother Xu no longer treated her like a junior who needed to be taken care of, as he had before.

It is a more egalitarian attitude.

only……

When I asked him last time if he had someone he liked, he seemed a little hesitant.

I don't know who that person is.

…… ……

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

During this period, Ning Ruo also successfully seized the leadership position from Lie.

Initially, many people were dissatisfied that Ning Ruo, a former sacrificial offering, had become the leader.

After all, while they had previously sympathized with and pitied Ning Ruo, they also felt guilty and reluctant to treat her.

But this is actually a top-down emotion.

In other words, they genuinely felt that Ning Ruo should be inferior to them.

However, this 'sacrifice' who was destined to die changed its fate and suddenly became the leader.

Can not accept.

This was the first thought for the vast majority of people in the settlement.

But after Ning Ruo beat the three troublemaking elders half to death, everyone's discontent in the settlement disappeared.

Even if there are still feelings, they must be suppressed in one's heart.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Tai Xuan Realm is essentially a world that transcends the mundane and manifests the extraordinary.

Since she has demonstrated power greater than the current leader, she should be the new leader!
……

……

"Brother Xu, your injuries should take a few more days to fully recover. There's no need to leave in such a hurry, is there?"

Not far from the settlement.

Ning Ruo was seeing Xu Xing off as he was about to leave.

"It's time to go." Xu Xing seemed quite relaxed.

"I'm used to this kind of minor injury. I can just take care of it on the way."

During the time he went out to spread the Dharma, he was mostly in a "low-health state," and his peak condition was a rare occurrence.

"As for you, although you have enough savings, you still need to be careful about promoting Yangwu."

Ning Ruo's performance during this period was beyond his expectations.

Although she successfully seized the leadership, she did not rush to make drastic changes.

Instead, it starts with some minor details.

Extremely stable!

"Ah."

Ning Ruo responded softly.

Have you gotten used to being hurt?

She felt a little down, but she still smiled when she looked up at Xu Xing.

"Well then... I wish Brother Xu a safe journey."

"Ah."

Xu Xing nodded, and sword light rose around him.

"Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into an invisible sword light and shot into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared from sight.

"..."

Ning Ruo gazed in the direction Xu Xing had left.

half an hour.

She then looked away and turned to walk back to the settlement.

Hey~
He confessed his feelings back then, but didn't receive a clear answer until more than 200,000 years later...

As expected of my martial uncle.

Chi Jiuyu sighed deeply.

Speaking of which, whose child will my uncle have?
Master, Spirit Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, or Yuanjun?
Will his child be even more outrageous than Xiao Qingchen?

But Master seems to have said that the state Xiao Qingchen was in when she was born was the limit, right?
As Chi Jiuyu pondered this, he ascended into the sky.

I'm getting ready to catch up with Xu Xing and see what happens to him afterward...

However, they had just risen to a high place.

The rolling darkness surged in from the distant horizon, engulfing everything in an instant, leaving only pitch black as far as the eye could see.

Ok? !

and many more!

What's going on here?

Is time jumping again?
But this has never happened before when the time was changed!

Just as Chi Jiuyu was completely bewildered.

A red figure quietly appeared.

red?
Uncle-Master?
Just as Chi Jiuyu was speculating, the red figure transformed into a captivating and alluring woman.

Did you miss me?

Chi Jiuyu: "..."

So it was Senior Meizu. (End of Chapter)
