Among the few who So Close Yet Worlds Apart.

Only Old Man Yang remained respectful to Chen Ning, including when he retrieved the Star Soul Cauldron to help Chen Ning break through his cultivation realm.

This is what sets him apart from others.

At this moment, this single difference is worth pondering.

Nalan Yao, being quick-witted, soon made a guess.

"Elder Yang, do you mean... only by truly being loyal to the leader can we receive his guidance?"

That makes sense.

Old Man Yang knew best the value of the contents recorded on this bamboo slip to him.

That's a priceless treasure.

The method to become a god is certainly valuable.

However, he still has a long way to go before he becomes a god.

Even if you obtain the method to become a god, you cannot ascend to the heavens in one step.

But these bamboo slips are different.

These Curse people all had some unspeakable secrets, and if the old leader had left each of them a scroll of bamboo slips...

What does that mean?

And now.

The new leader has already taken out the first bamboo slip and handed it to Old Man Yang.

Regardless of whether there would be other bamboo slips for the rest of them, Nalan Yao was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

She wanted to give it a try.

"I know what you're up to. You want to search the leader, right? I advise you to give up that idea. First, I won't let you do it, and second..."

Old Man Yang paused, unfolded the bamboo slip, and continued, "The contents of this bamboo slip should have been just engraved. Do you know what that means? It means that the old leader likely guessed these things, and he transmitted all these insights into the leader's Divine Sense. Unless the leader voluntarily hands them over to us, you will not be able to obtain them."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Yang. I didn't intend to be so rough with my husband."

Nalan Yao's eyes flickered as she muttered to herself, "So... in the end, it still comes down to loyalty?"

The Old Man Yang was grateful to the leader for retrieving the Star Soul Cauldron, which is why he voluntarily gave the bamboo slips to the leader.

So...

There seems to be a pattern to follow.

In the side room where Chen Ning lived.

Nalan Yao gently knocked on the door and walked in with a smile.

Her long silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her beautiful eyes were sparkling.

Chen Ning was not surprised to see her arrive.

Everything is in the plan.

That bamboo scroll was simply the result of my own Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, which allowed me to see through the tricks and flaws used by Elder Yang, and thus I quickly engraved it down.

Old Man Yang is a man of great hidden talent and has quite a background.

The methods used were considered taboo.

It is the Purgatory Fire in the Nine Nether Purgatory, capable of burning everything. This kind of ferocious flame is fierce and domineering. Although it is powerful, it will cause irreversible damage to the user's internal organs and meridians.

Given the Old Man Yang's condition at the time, he could probably only use it three more times before he would die.

But the power of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils lies in this: it can see through the flaws and defects of anything.

And it provides a solution.

Therefore, Chen Ning quickly came up with a plan.

A plan that truly puts you in control.

Those strange people, though So Close Yet Worlds Apart, are all incredibly powerful; only by seizing the initiative can one navigate among them.

Now.

Nalan Yao moved gracefully with delicate steps, her bearing elegant, and bowed, saying, "Yao'er greets her husband."

What is it?

"Greetings to my husband."

Nalan Yao smiled softly.

That's it?

"Paying respects to my husband is the most important thing."

Nalan Yao parted her red lips slightly and spoke earnestly.

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

Chen Ning said calmly.

Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes flashed, and she slowly took a few steps closer. A fragrant breeze wafted over, and her voluptuous figure swayed slightly, making her exquisite body even more graceful.

"My lord, actually Yao'er has come to apologize to you."

"Oh? What crime have you committed?"

Chen Ning pretended not to understand.

"Yao'er didn't stand in front of her husband immediately, but instead let him face that person from the Ximen Aristocratic Clan alone. Thinking about it now, it's an unforgivable sin."

Nalan Yao knelt on one knee, her eyes reddening, and said, "Please punish him, my husband."

"It's not your fault, it's my fault for not giving you the order."

Chen Ning gazed meaningfully at Nalan Yao's beautiful face.

Because she was kneeling on the ground, if her gaze were slightly downwards, one could see the breathtaking view through her neckline.

"My lord, Yao'er wishes to atone for her sins."

"You want some guidance, right?"

Chen Ning asked directly.

Nalan Yao remained calm and said softly, "Yao'er only wants to feel better, but if my husband is willing to grant Yao'er a favor, that would be Yao'er honor."

That's a very honest statement.

She doesn't need to be too subtle; if she has what she wants, the leader will feel at ease with her.

Chen Ning smiled too.

It seems that as long as you can give her what she wants, she'll do anything you ask.

This kind of relationship is actually more solid.

"Tell me, how do you plan to atone for your mistakes?"

Chen Ning asked calmly.

"My lord, Yao'er also wishes to offer you a fortuitous opportunity."

Nalan Yao spoke softly, "Therefore, Yao'er wishes to take her husband to the Wangchuan Treasure Land."

Where is that place?

"The Wangchuan Treasure Land is extremely far from the Nebula Continent. It is vast and rich in resources, with treasures everywhere. Its area is roughly equivalent to four Nebula Continent. Located in the north of the entire Vast Land, it is a gathering place for powerful individuals. In addition, the God Clan reside here."

"The God Clan..."

Chen Ning muttered something to himself.

In this light, the Wangchuan Treasure Land is indeed more prosperous than the Nebula Continent.

"Yao'er was born in the Wangchuan, so she knows a bit about everything there and can help her husband seize a fortuitous opportunity."

What was the fortuitous opportunity?

"You will know when my husband arrives."

Nalan Yao kept everyone in suspense.

Chen Ning didn't press the matter further.

He calculated that the time was about right. If the Darkness God Clan was aware of this, they would definitely take action. Leaving the Nebula Continent at this time was within the plan.

Therefore.

Chen Ning agreed.

When do we set off?

"Tomorrow."

Nalan Yao was also impatient. Like the Old Man Yang, she was a Curse person. If the leader really had a way to break the taboo on her, she would be eager to do so.

She was determined to get it no matter what.

If Old Man Yang could offer the leader a fortuitous opportunity, so could she.

That night...

Chen Ning arrived at the door of the little monk's room.

The little monk had already gone to sleep by this time.

Chen Ning then knocked on the door and called out, "Little Master, Little Master..."

Knock knock!

"Little Master!"

Knock knock!

"Little Master!!!"

Finally.

The door opened.

The little monk stood there, yawning sleepily.

Chen Ning chuckled and said, "Hehe, little master hasn't gone to bed yet either, what a coincidence."

"Mr. Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well, we'll be leaving Nebula Continent soon, and we were wondering if you'd like to come with us?"

"Good."

The young monk readily agreed.

He had been living at Heavenly Light Temple since childhood and knew very little about the world.

He had nowhere to go, yet he could go anywhere.
