After Zhu Zhuqing nodded, Ning Fengzhi did not press her further. He was a clever man; her willingness to think of his daughter was already an enormous favor.
Once his daughter entered the Divine Inheritance space, wouldn't he eventually learn what was inside?
"Then I'll be right back!"
Ning Fengzhi hurried down the stairs with Xue Ye in his arms.
He was in a great rush now. There was so much to do within a single day: first, he had to settle Xue Ye somewhere, then have Sword Douluo hurry back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and finally go to Spirit Hall to pick someone up.
He himself would go to Blue Tyrant Academy to find the others. Doing so in the middle of the night would surely cause a stir, and he had to find a way to keep that commotion quiet.
Once Ning Fengzhi left, Zhu Zhuqing turned and stepped into the sky on silver moonlight. As she climbed higher and higher, the full moon in the sky rapidly shrank.
A moment later, the full moon had reverted to a curved crescent.
Zhu Zhuqing hid behind the clouds and continued cultivating her heart force.
With every circuit her heart force made around her body, the Crescent Mark on her forehead brightened a little.
Drawing forth the full moon just now had exhausted all her heart force. Through some unseen connection, she could sense that if she drew forth the full moon again, the "Moon-Ascending Platform" would appear.
The night was so quiet.
Hardly anyone had seen the moon change. Only a few night owls had caught a glimpse through their drowsiness, and when they called their friends over, they were mostly met with ridicule, for the night sky had already returned to normal.
