Memories Stirred by the Scene

This dark room had clearly been cleaned to create the illusion that no one had stayed there, but it couldn't escape Chen Ning's astonishing insight.

Seeing this, Hua Sanniang frowned and said, "Impossible! The restrictions outside the secret room are definitely not something Saint King Realm can break. How did he get out?"

"Perhaps he opened it."

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

These words startled everyone slightly.

"The leader is right."

At this moment, Ding Erliang, who had been at the back of the line, suddenly spoke up, and everyone, including Hua Sanniang, couldn't help but turn their attention to him.

Ding Erliang coughed and said, "This kid used to be at odds with me. I know his methods. Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that among us, Old Sui may be the strongest and the most monstrous, but Lü Xiaochuan is the most gifted among us."

Sui Qingshan nodded and said, "Chief, Lü Xiaochuan's talent is comparable to that of the geniuses of the various God Clan."

To receive such high praise from Sui Qingshan.

This is enough to prove Lü Xiaochuan's extraordinary abilities.

It makes perfect sense to leave from here.

Only.

Chen Ning was still slightly disappointed. He had thought he would be able to meet him, ask him some information about the First Generation, or even recruit him directly to complete the mission.

Pity.

Such a person will only be encountered later in life.

But.

Chen Ning was looking forward to the day she would meet him.

Since he has come to the Sin Domain, he must have his purpose; we will meet again eventually.

Previously, Hua Sanniang said that Lü Xiaochuan stole treasures only to gain fame and join the ranks of other Thief Emperor, but that was just an excuse to deceive them.

Regarding Lü Xiaochuan's true purpose.

Hua Sanniang was also unaware.

Night.

Ding Erliang sat alone on the roof of a house, listlessly gulping down his wine.

"What's the point of drinking alone? I'll keep you company."

Chen Ning climbed onto the roof and sat down next to Ding Erliang.

"Greetings, Leader!"

Ding Erliang wanted to stand up and bow, Chen Ning casually shook the wine jar in his hand, "Try this. It's been years since I've distilled any liquor; I wonder if I've become rusty."

Ding Erliang took it, sniffed it sharply, and exclaimed, "Excellent wine!"

Chen Ning smiled slightly.

This liquor was distilled when we first arrived in the Nine Provinces Realm, both to complete our mission and to save our lives.

This wine also played a crucial role in Chen Ning's success.

Not only did he subdue Xiao Mei, but he also introduced Chen Ning to the Wine Sword Immortal Li Changtian and the Wine Maniac Old Master.

Without these two, Chen Ning really didn't know how he would have dealt with the coup attempt by the Eighth Elder's subordinates that day.

Later.

As Chen Ning's cultivation level grew stronger...

That means I no longer need such methods to save my life.

Now.

Chen Ning distilled another strong liquor, which ironically stirred up some emotions in him.

More.

I still thought of some people and events in the Nine Provinces Realm.

Ding Erliang hearty sips of wine, and feeling a bit tipsy, he asked with a flushed face, "Chief, do you think I deserve to die?"

Immediately.

Before Chen Ning could answer.

He clutched his hair, choking back tears, and said, "If I had risked my life to bring her out, at least in her heart I would be a hero, not like this now..."

Tell us your stories...

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

Ding Erliang was slightly taken aback, then a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "Many years ago, she was a dancer in the Desire Sin Valley, and I was a guide in the Sin Domain. I wouldn't say I was famous, but I was doing quite well."

"That day, I led a group of newcomers to the Sin Domain to rest in the Desire Sin Valley. Back then, the Desire Sin Valley was far from its current status. Several forces coexisted in the valley, but it already had the beginnings of a trading place. There always needs to be a place like this."

"And that's the day I met her. Her dance captivated me. Soon, the bidding began. She never took clients, so the price for the first night was astronomical. I had a few drinks and spent a fortune to win the right to sleep with this beauty."

"Later, I learned that my extravagant spending had ruined her plans. She wasn't a dancer, but an assassin trained by a faction within the Desire Sin Valley. That night, she was auctioning herself off to assassinate her target. My appearance disrupted her plans, causing the target to leave the Desire Sin Valley ahead of schedule, which is why she rushed after her."

"For some reason... I instantly fell in love with her. I found her to be heroic and spirited, no less than any man. So, I followed her silently. The target she was trying to assassinate was extremely cunning and treacherous, employing a variety of sinister methods. Perhaps she lacked experience and failed. In the end, I arrived in time, eliminated the man, and saved her life."

"She was injured, so I took her to a secluded place to recover. We got to know each other, and those were the happiest days of my life. But it didn't last long. As her injuries healed, I knew that our fate was probably over..."

"She should go back to where she belongs."

"And I... I don't have the courage, nor the right to keep her."
