Vol. 1 - Ch. 60 - She’s Here Too

After the Jiang family left, Qi Rongchang turned to Luo Ruying and bowed gratefully. “Thank you for your help, Fairy Luo! My Qi family will remember this!”

If Luo Ruying had not intervened, the Qi family would have probably been ousted from the city.

The Qi family was full of gratitude to Luo Ruying.

“Old Qi, you are too polite,” Luo Ruying said with a smile.

“I’d like to invite you and your family to the Qi residence. I have already planned a banquet to show our gratitude.” Qi Rongchang smiled at Luo Ruying.

Considering Luo Ruying’s cultivation and Ning Yechen’s medical abilities, it was enough to entice anyone to get close to them.

It was absolutely right to befriend a powerful cultivator who could kill a cultivator at the peak of the Human Immortal realm.

“Big Sister Luo, will you join us? We really want to thank you,” Qi Yuan echoed expectantly.

Facing the Qi family’s cordial invitation, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying looked at each other and read each other's minds.

Luo Ruying shook her head, declining Qi Rongchang and Qi Yuan’s invitation. “Thank you, but our family doesn’t like crowds. Moreover, we have already made plans, so we won't intrude. I’m sure your family has a lot to do today.”

They had come to Nanli City to live quietly and peacefully.

First, they helped the Qi family because the Qi family had given them the house. Second, they simply did not like the Jiang family. They did not want to get too close to the Qi family.

Hearing Luo Ruying’s rejection, Qi Rongchang and Qi Yuan looked disappointed but did not insist.

Now that the Qi family had won the competition, the authority in Nanli City had changed hands. They indeed had a lot to do now.

Ning Yechen smiled at Qi Yuan. “Miss Qi, if you’re free tomorrow, why don't you come by?”

Qi Yuan and Luo Ruying were curious and puzzled.

They did not know why Ning Yechen wanted to see Qi Yuan tomorrow.

Qi Yuan nodded. “Okay, Big Brother Ning.”

Ning Yechen did not explain. Instead, he turned to take Luo Ruying’s hand and leave.

When he suddenly held her hand, she was caught by surprise, and her heart beat faster.

She did not dislike the feeling of him holding her hand.

After calming down, Luo Ruying held Ning Yechen’s hand back.

Everyone watched as their family left.

The crowd respectfully gave way to them.

Many people recognized Luo Ruying as the beautiful woman from a few days ago.

Now that they had witnessed her true abilities, no one dared to show her the slightest disrespect.

After all, she could slaughter someone at the peak of the Human Immortal realm!

If she wanted to kill them, it was no different from killing chickens!

The two of them held hands while walking back home. On the way, Luo Ruying discovered a lot of luggage piled up outside the previously empty houses beside theirs.

Many were bringing their luggage inside.

It seemed all the neighboring houses had been sold overnight, which was pretty unusual considering the remote location.

“Yechen, it seems we have new neighbors. I will visit with some gifts later.”

Even though the new neighbors meant life would not be as quiet, Luo Ruying decided to follow the customs of mortals and greet the new neighbors.

Naturally, Ning Yechen had no objections. Just as he was about to agree, the neighboring house's door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out!

Ye Tianshen, dressed in simple commoners' clothing, walked out the door and moved his luggage in like a mortal.

When he saw Ning Yechen, a smile emerged on his cold face, and he nodded without saying a word.

It was as if he were simply greeting a new neighbor!

Ning Yechen was flabbergasted. Huh? What’s going on? Isn’t that Ye Tianshen? I’m definitely not wrong!

Despite the flawless disguise, Ning Yechen could still see Ye Tianshen's cultivation!

Since Ye Tianshen greeted them, Luo Ruying nodded back politely.

Ye Tianshen made no attempt to speak and just continued carrying his luggage in as though he did not know them.

“He's quite polite. I'll go get some fruit and say hello.” Luo Ruying planned to go back home to get some fruits as a greeting gift for their new neighbor.

Ning Yechen hurriedly stopped her. “Dear, no, don’t!”

“Huh? Why?” Luo Ruying looked at Ning Yechen quizzically.

It was the first time she saw Ning Yechen so anxious.

“Erm… Why don’t you bring Yeye home? I’ll go say hello to our new neighbor! Let me take care of this!” Ning Yechen said with a smile.

As he spoke, he pushed Luo Ruying inside the house.

If Luo Ruying interacted with Ye Tianshen and noticed anything amiss, or if Ye Tianshen slipped up and gave away his true identity, he would be dead meat.

“Okay. I'll leave it to you then…”

Although Luo Ruying felt puzzled about Ning Yechen’s sudden enthusiasm to talk to the new neighbor, she did not take it to heart and carried Luo Hongye inside.

After seeing Luo Ruying go inside, Ning Yechen swiftly went over to Ye Tianshen’s house and appeared in front of him.

Ye Tianshen promptly stopped working, put his hand to his chest, and bowed reverently. “Greetings, Demon Lord!”

Ning Yechen’s face turned cold as he frowned in displeasure. He asked angrily, “What are you doing here?! Didn’t I tell you not to disturb us?”

“I would never dare impose,” Ye Tianshen instantly replied.

“Then take your things and get your ass back to the Demon Realm! Don’t show up in front of me again!” Ning Yechen immediately drove him away.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianshen did not abide by his orders. “Demon Lord, I’m sorry I can’t obey you. We were ordered to protect your wife and daughter and be on standby for your orders! You have my word that we will disguise ourselves and not give you trouble!”

Seeing Ye Tianshen go against his order, Ning Yechen was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand and teach him a lesson before personally throwing him back to the Demon Realm.

But as Ning Yechen raised his hand, something dawned on him, and he suddenly caught the crux of what Ye Tianshen meant. “Hang on… What do you mean by we? Other than you, who else is here?”

Ye Tianshen lowered his head and answered respectfully. “Sir, other than me, the other legion and regiment leaders, generals, personal guards, and secret guards have been ordered to go undercover in the city! Everyone is at your disposal!”

Ning Yechen was stunned. “Who gave the order?”

“Demon Lord, it was Lady Left Guardian!”

“Don’t tell me she's here too?”
