Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 32 Rejecting Ning Wei Will Lead to Death

"Leng Qing, how did it go? Did he agree?"

Tang Yue hurriedly moved closer, grasped Leng Qing's hand, and asked eagerly.

When Leng Qing left Mu Ningwei's room, she was absent-minded, lost in thought for a full two seconds. Coming back to her senses, she smiled, grasped Tang Yue's hand, and comforted her:

"Ning Wei agreed and promised to help Xuan She."

Tang Yue was overjoyed, "That's wonderful!"

Leng Qing reassured him gently, "Yes, Ning Wei is a very capable person. Don't underestimate him just because he's young. He always keeps his promises and does his best to fulfill them. You can rest assured."

"Leng Qing, I really don't know how to thank you!"

Tang Yue was moved to tears, opened her arms and hugged Leng Qing tightly, sobbing softly.

In recent days, Xuan She was willing to die to save her life, which has sparked public outrage and widespread condemnation online, with many calling Xuan She a scourge.

Tang Yue was powerless and could do nothing, which was truly agonizing.

Fortunately, with Mu Ningwei's help, everything will be alright!

only……

Tang Yue looked at Leng Qing, whose expression was gentle, with teary eyes.

"You must have paid a heavy price to get Mu Ningwei to take action, right? After all, he has to go up against Zhu Meng."

"What is the price, Leng Qing? Tell me, and I'll pay it for you."

Leng Qing's expression softened further. "Ning Wei didn't ask for any reward. He's really a very good person. Don't overthink it."

"He was just trying to scare you, hoping you won't be so impulsive in the future."

Tang Yue didn't believe it.

Even the Star River Vein and Soul Seed couldn't persuade Mu Ningwei to join them. He looked down on her and the Tang family. His arrogance was genuine and didn't seem like an act at all.

He truly looked down on her and the Tang family.

How could someone like that possibly help her and Zhu Meng without any reward?

Tang Yue's eyes were filled with worry. "Leng Qing, tell me the truth, what exactly was the reward for getting him involved?"

Leng Qing sighed helplessly, "It's just a favor."

"real?"

"real."

Tang Yue suddenly burst into tears, "Waaah, Leng Qing, I'm so sorry!"

"You're actually willing to go to so much for me. I'm such a jerk, sob sob..."

Leng Qing was stunned. When she realized what was happening, she pushed Tang Yue away, amused and annoyed. "Don't smear your snot on me! Do you really think I'm some kind of goddess?"

"How could someone offend a powerful politician, and even the Forbidden City behind him, just to associate with me?"

Tang Yue was dumbfounded, "Th-then..."

Leng Qing sighed helplessly, "Alright, don't overthink it. I have a good impression of Ning Wei. If he wants to date me, he can just say so. I'm willing to explore the possibilities; there's no need to beat around the bush."

"what……"

Tang Yue's mind really couldn't process it. After a moment of blankness, she decisively gave up thinking and burst into laughter through her tears:

"Then let's act quickly, inform Uncle to prepare, and rescue the Black Serpent!"

"No rush."

Leng Qing reassured him, "Ning Wei is going to celebrate with his sister Mu Nujiao tonight. He said he can take care of Zhu Meng tomorrow, and we'll follow his orders."

Tang Yue was astonished. "Huh? He's going to face Zhu Meng alone?"

"Yes, Ning Wei is very confident."

"Is he really that amazing...? Could it be that he has Parthenon's connections? Or is he highly regarded by the Mu family's higher-ups? Yes, such a talented young man, and a boy at that, is probably the Mu family's chosen successor as the next patriarch."

Leng Qing seemed to understand something. "He brought two major opportunities to the Mu family before. Now that you mention it, it's quite possible."

Tang Yue felt guilty. "If the Mu family's higher-ups get involved in this, Leng Qing, how much of a favor will you owe them?"

Leng Qing smiled helplessly, "Yes, I owe him more and more, and I have no idea how I'm going to pay him back."

Leng Qing suddenly felt envious of Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao could follow Mu Ningwei without any worries, accepting his kindness and even his pampering, without having to consider anything else.

After all, they are family.

Leng Qing also longs for a reliable man like that as a family member!

Leng Qing's parents divorced when she was young. Her father was a hunter mage who was always out and about. He had been out of contact with her for a while.

She really envied Mu Nujiao!

……

The next day, at 8 a.m.

There are 6 hours left until the execution of the Black Serpent.

Zhu Meng dispatched the court mage he brought to West Lake to set up a lightning magic array. Standing on the platform overlooking the beautiful scenery, he felt a sense of expansiveness.

Soon he will be able to judge and punish a demonic monarch in the city, thus ridding the people of this scourge!

Zhu Meng doesn't have that many bad intentions.

Although judging Xuan She would bring him great fame for his theory of demonic threats, thus promoting his official career.

However, Zhu Meng's actions against the Xuan Snake were truly for the sake of the people of Hangzhou, as he believed that this uncontrollable monarch demon was a huge hidden danger.

"Zhu Meng, you're here."

Zhu Meng turned around and laughed loudly, "Luo Mian, the epidemic in Hangzhou has been lifted thanks to you and Mu Ningwei. I will tell Chief Pang Lai about your achievements."

Luo Mian stroked his beard and smiled, "It's mainly because Mu Ningwei is so capable. By the way, Mu Ningwei wants to meet you."

Zhu Meng suppressed his smile and gave a light snort. "The Tang family is out of options and wants to ask him to persuade me? Heh, a little kid. I do respect him for saving the people of Hangzhou."

"But he's still young. He believes whatever the Tang family says. He's too inexperienced to act as a lobbyist for the Xuan Snake."

Luo Mian gave him a strange look and coughed twice. "Anyway, Zhu Meng, go see him. Also, it's best to show him some respect."

Zhu Meng nodded. "He destroyed the Black Pepper Court headquarters in Shanghai and exposed that stupid idiot Song He. Now he's saving the people of Hangzhou. I'd like to meet him too."

After Zhu Meng returned, he had someone check Mu Ningwei's information.

Those outrageous rumors about Europe should be treated as a joke.

But after returning to China, Mu Ningwei did things that benefited society.

Zhu Meng had high hopes for this younger generation.

Luo Mian clicked his tongue but didn't say anything. "Here's the address. He's waiting for you in a private room at this hotel."

"Okay, I'll go take a look. I'll leave you to stay here."

……

Zhu Meng arrived at the hotel's private room.

Mu Ningwei rose to greet him, "Congressman Zhu Meng, please have a seat."

Zhu Meng was kind and said, "Mu Ningwei, on behalf of all the patients and their families who have been saved, I thank you."

He bowed after speaking.

Mu Ningwei felt a surge of confidence and was somewhat surprised. He smiled and said, "It's what I should do. Please take your seat, Councilor Zhu Meng."

"it is good."

Glug glug.

A food cart was pushed over, and a stunningly beautiful, classically elegant European woman gracefully arranged the food.

Zhu Meng glanced at the beautiful mature woman in surprise, not expecting that this hotel would have a waitress of this caliber!

With her stunning looks and elegant demeanor, why would someone as beautiful as her be a waitress? Just stroll around the school gates, and there will be plenty of rich young men willing to take her bait...

Zhu Meng didn't pay much attention and said to Mu Ningwei, "You've come to persuade me to let the Xuan Snake go, haven't you?"

Mu Ningwei nodded. "Yes, I'm giving the Palace Court some face because you are truly dedicated to serving the people. Let's just leave it at that."

Zhu Meng was bewildered. These words were indeed in Chinese, but why didn't he understand them?

Mu Ningwei meant that I should give him face and hope that I would be lenient and let Xuan She go.

Zhu Meng shook his head and refused:

"The Black Serpent is a menace; I cannot grant your request."

"Mu Ningwei, I have high hopes for you, and I hope you can—"

A chilling, sharp claw gripped his throat.

Zhu Meng's pupils dilated, his whole body turned ice-cold, and his eyes were filled with terror!

That stunningly beautiful waitress exuded an aura that would chill even a super-level mage; it was an overwhelming power on a life level.

She's a demon!

She is a monarch!!

Marquis de Faye's claws hovered before Zhu Meng's throat, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her scarlet eyes cold and fierce:

"Little one, do you know what you just said?"

"To refuse my king is to die!"

Mu Ningwei casually picked up some food and tasted it, then smiled and praised:

"Faye, your cooking skills have improved again."

Faye's coldness faded, she touched her chest and bowed slightly, "If Your Majesty is pleased, then so be it."

Zhu Meng: "..."

Zhu Meng: "!!!"
