41 One Possibility.....

"Oh really?  What is Senior Sister saying, is it really true? "Xia Duan, whose heart was in a panic, screamed extremely excited as his eyes flashed suddenly after hearing Lan Huang's words.  It was as if he had taken a life-saving straw in the midst of his despair.

 "When Senior Sister lied to you before."  Lan Huang said with a faint smile: "It is fortunate that the Head of the Palace did not immediately surrender you, but instead fought for another ten days.  Otherwise, even if it had a way, it would be essentially impossible to do within such a limited time. "

 "That's great!" Xia Duan's face flushed a bright red.  He then injured his internal injuries under arousal, which caused him to grimace at the pain.

 Ni Yang looked at Lan Huang with a shocked expression for a long time, and smiled doubtfully: "Senior Sister Huang, to be so compassionate to me, don't tell me ... Did you fall in love with me?  Although I know that my appearance can be considered perfect when it comes to a man and I also really liked Senior Sister Huang, but in the end I am still a child of only thirteen. Does Senior Sister Huang really not care at all? "

 "I care about your head!" Lan Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry and pouted with his charming lips: "I, Lan Huang, would definitely not be interested in a little brother who is younger than me!  As for why I'm helping you, it's just because I'm your Senior Sister, and it's only convenient since it's the same way. "

 "Mhm, mhm !!" Xia Duan nodded her head, and sincerely said, "Senior Sister Huang has always been like this.  No matter to whom, she is always kind and careful. When I had just entered the New Moon Deep Palace, I didn't know anyone around me.  What's more, since I entered Class One with my deep strength, I have encountered a lot of criticism and mockery. It's all thanks to Sr. Sister Huang, who cared a lot about me.  Senior Sister Huang is the kindest, most benevolent person I have ever met. "

 Whenever Xia Duan mentioned Lan Huang, his eyes always shone and his face would be filled with wonder and affection;  it was as if he virtually thought of her as a goddess. However, Lan Huang really had that kind of character and temperament, kind and friendly, and charisma.

 "That's for sure."  Ni Yang also agreed in deep thoughts: "Senior Sister Huang is so beautiful, she must be a transformed angel from heaven, which is why she is so kind and lovely….  However, Senior Sister, aren't you honestly considering someone younger than you? In fact, younger men have several merits that single old men will never have, for example… .. "

 Lan Huang really couldn't hear anymore, and said as he feigned a stern face: "Within ten days, do you want to go back to the Imperial City Blue Lake with me or not?"

 "Yes Yes Yes Yes!  Of course! "Even before Ni Yang answered, Xia Duan had already agreed to panic, for fear that Lan Huang would backtrack on his words.  Originally, Xia Duan was deeply concerned that Ni Yang simply had no way to escape this catastrophe. Lan Huang's offer was no different from a pleasant surprise that fell from the sky;  No matter what he says, he had to grasp this chance tightly.

 However, Ni Yang thought for a moment, and said cautiously somehow, "Senior Sister, I really appreciate your kind thought.  However, for that matter, what I offended was the Main Sect of the Xiang Sect. If Senior Sister gets me out of here and they keep investigating and holding you responsible… .. I don't want to involve Senior Sister, and Senior Sister's family. "

 Lan Huang smiled softly and said, "At least you have some guilty conscience, and you know how to care about Sister Senior's good.  However, since I dared to help you escape New Moon City, I naturally have enough security not to set myself on fire. You can be completely reassured about this;  I'm not stupid to the point of playing with my life and my family. "

 "Although the people of the Xiang Sect have left, there must be people looking at the gates.  If you were to leave, you would fall right into your hands. So, these days, you should seriously stay in the Deep New Moon Palace and not go anywhere else.  After my family arrives, I'll pick you up and leave immediately. Once you arrive at the Blue Lake Imperial City, you should be completely safe. "

 Lan Huang spoke very surely and also in a relaxed tone;  It was clear that she wanted to make Ni Yang feel as calm as possible.  Ni Yang didn't hesitate anymore, and said gratefully, "So… .. Senior Sister, when the time comes, everything will be on your shoulders.  After this disaster passed, I would surely pay for this life-saving grace of Senior Sister. "

 Lan Huang's pink lips curved slightly upward, and his eyebrows curved in two delicate crescent moons: "If you want to pay Senior Sister, then just stay safe here and protect your own life.  The day you pay me will come only if you stay alive. "

 "Mn!  I will follow the words of Senior Sister. "  Ni Yang agreed firmly. Then his tone suddenly changed as he asked, "Senior Sister, does this ... do you have any core of deep beast?  The ones at low levels are good. And if you don't have any, where can I find one in the Deep Palace? "

 "Deep Core?  What do you need a Deep Core for? "Lan Huang asked.

 "For now it's a secret.  Don't tell me Senior Sister has one? "Seeing Lan Huang's expression, Ni Yang's eyes twinkled.

 For a long time, Lan Huang felt the space within the space ring on his thin finger, and then pulled out a round, dark-colored pearl: "I have only one lower-level Spiritual Warrior Deep Core in hand.  I got it a while ago from a Scarlet Drill Lizard. However, the Head of the Palace must have some Deep Beast Core Deep Souls, if you need it, I will… .. "

 "One Deep Core of the Spiritual Warrior's Kingdom is sufficient."  Ni Yang reached out and took the Deep Spiritual Core from Lan Huang's hand.  Her heart reassured instantly.

 Common Beasts had no Deep Core within their bodies.  Beginning with the Deep Beasts of the Spiritual Warrior's Realm, the Deep Nuclei would exist in all Deep Adult Beasts, similar to the core of the Meridians within the human body.  Deep Core of the Spiritual Warrior Kingdom were the easiest to acquire of all Deep Core, and their prices were also the lowest, they were usually around a dozen to a few hundred Yellow Coins.  However, at each higher quality rank, its price would increase by multiplying. In the Blue Lake Empire, a single Deep Core of the Rising Soul Kingdom could be sold at an astronomical price. At the Deep level of the Soulwalker Kingdom, they would be priceless treasures.  And as for Deep Corps of the Venerable Celestial Kingdom, they were considered essentially legends.

 During his trip to New Moon City, Ni Yang had actually acquired some Deep Core of the Spiritual Warrior's Kingdom.  However, he had used them all to synthesize Deep Recovery Pills at higher levels. He had carried the iron pig on his back all the way, so the Deep Recovery Pills had been treated almost as food.

 "Brother Junior Ni, you must be exhausted today too, so you should rest early.  You don't have to think much about anything else. With the Palace Chief here, the Xiang Sect will do nothing reckless in those ten days.  When those ten days pass, I can absolutely guarantee your safety. "

 "I understand, Senior Sister ... Senior Sister should also rest early."

 Lan Huang left a wind of orchid-scented wind as he walked slowly, and left Ni Yang behind who was thinking deeply.

 "That's great, little brother!  Since Senior Sister is so right about that, then we will be able to help him escape and save him. "  Xia Duan said with a face full of excitement. "Eh.... Little brother? Why don't you seem so happy? Is it because you don't believe Senior Sister Huang? "

 "Duan, are you related to Senior Sister Huang?" Ni Yang asked coldly.

 "Not.  Why is the brother-in-law asking this? "Xia Duan scratched her head.

 "So, have you or your family members saved Sister Huang or her family members before?"

 "This is also a no!  I have never even seen your relatives before.  What more, with my low deep strength, there is no way for me to be able to save Senior Sister Huang.  There is even less need to ask about my family members. "

 "So that's pretty weird."  Ni Yang pondered deeply as he rubbed his chin with his right hand: "We are not related at all and we had only short conversations;  why would she want to help me for no cause or reason? "

 "Oh!  You are talking about it.  Little brother, you are thinking very seriously about it;  I told you before, Sr. Sister Huang is just that kind-hearted person.  When I arrived at the New Moon Deep Palace, I was not related to her at all, yet, she helped me and took care of me.  Every senior brother and sister inside the Deep New Moon Palace really likes her a lot. "

 "No, this is different."  Ni Yang, however, shook his head and said with a serious expression, "She helping you, may be accepted as her nature, and I would not find that strange.  However, catching me and escaping New Moon City is a whole different matter! She clearly understands that this problem I brought up implied the Xiang Sect Main Sect… .. Although I don't feel nice to the people of Xiang Sect, I have nothing to do but admit that they have a huge influence that could cover the  Blue Lake Empire sky with one hand. How many people across the empire can remain calm when hearing these two words 'Xiang Sect'! And how many would dare to offend the Xiang Sect? And how many would dare to risk being involved, and helping a person who offended someone from the Xiang Sect escape their punishment? "

 Xia Duan opened her mouth but was speechless.

 "If it were a friendship of life and death, that would be understandable.  However, I know her only for a single day, and we barely talk to each other;  there's no grace or resentment between us, and yet she wants to take such a big risk of taking me out of New Moon City.  This really is very strange. "

 "And also….  Duan, you guys are in the same class.  Have you heard her mention about returning to the Imperial City Blue Lake these days?  Or have you seen any sign of this recently? "Ni Yang asked.

 Xia Duan was stunned.  So he thought carefully about it and shook his head: "I don't think so.  But it shouldn't be necessary for her to tell us she would come home. "

 "Having never said a word about returning to Imperial City before, and yet she wants to come back suddenly after ten days;  while the time that the head of Qing Palace also got for me, exactly ten days…. This is very coincidental. " Ni Yang muttered.

 Hearing what Ni Yang was saying, Xia Duan also began to feel that something was a little off.  He naturally knew the strength of the Xiang Sect. To take the huge risk of provoking the Xiang Sect to save a person she knew only for one day, who had nothing to do with her;  thinking about it that way really was pretty weird. Because even if there was the slightest oversight, it would become a disaster of total annihilation! He scratched his head and shook his head violently: "No, no!  Sr. Sister Huang is such a good-hearted person, she can't have any outrageous motives with her little brother. Besides… .. besides the little brother is not a rich person, or even some kind of teacher; if we said she wants to save you for some purpose, what could she be wanting? "

 "This is also the point that I found the strangest."  Ni Yang looked up, reached out his hand and touched his face, and said in a low voice, "So….  When I asked Senior Sister 'Don't tell me you fell in love with me' earlier… .. I was absolutely not kidding.  To make a girl do something of that extension to a man she just met, the only possibility I can think of would be that Senior Sister Huang, for me… .. Mn, love at first sight. "

 "What the hell ?!" Xia Duan's legs went numb, and he almost knelt in front of Ni Yang in shock.

 "First of all, I have no influence, second, I have no strength, third, I do not own even the most vulgar of all things, money.  And instead, I brought a disaster on myself. So the only thing Sister Huang would want from me would be my beauty. A woman is a kind of sentimental creature;  If she fell in love with a man, it would be possible for her to do anything, no matter how exaggerated and crazy. Taking such a big risk and rescuing me then would be absolutely normal. "

 "Fufu ... As expected, regardless of location, this age of appearances is unable to be changed.  Not only is a good-looking face a kind of strong capital, it can even save a person's life. " Ni Yang said as he pinched his cheeks.  It was not known what he was thinking as he smiled and suddenly laughed out loud.

 No matter how Xia Duan looked at Ni Yang's smile, he could still see a kind of wanton intent mixed in him.  His eyes widened as he looked and stammered, "Ma ... Ma ... But…. Senior Sister is so beautiful, so kind, and there are so many people who like her!  How is it possible that she… .. Sr. Sister Huang also said before, that she had no interest in anyone younger than her. This this…."

 Ni Yang rolled her eyes at him, and said casually, "Duan, you really don't understand women.  Women are creatures who like to contradict each other. If she says she doesn't like anyone younger, that means she likes someone who is younger than her, that means….  Uhh… .. "Even Ni Yang himself felt that this explanation was kind of meaningless, but he had to bite the bullet and continue:

 "… ..Although this fetish may be a little special, it's possible that younger men are her type."

 "~! @ #% $ ...." Xia Duan was frantic: "This can't be!  When Senior Sister Huang was here a moment ago, why didn't Little Brother just ask her? "

 "I can not ask".  Ni Yang waved his finger in Xia Duan's eyes and said seriously, "Men don't like women who are very smart, and women also don't like men who are very smart.  If I had asked, it really would have spoiled the joke. " After speaking so far, a deep and peculiar light came into Ni Yang's eyes: "My earlier hypothesis was the only possibility I could think of at that time, so I don't know if she's right or wrong.  But what is certain is that she wants to capture me and make me some of her prey. And I…. "The corners of Ni Yang's mouth curved upward:" I'm the same as her! What happens next will be determined by who succeeds first! If she wins, then I will do as she wishes.  If she loses, hehehehehe .... "

 Xia Duan: "...… ..".
