The Spirit World

Chapter 984 Shadow Falling (Twenty)
"In fact, I certainly don't doubt your impartiality."

"Fairness? What is that?"

Li Lusheng was confused by Ning Ji's question one second ago, and became puzzled the next second.

Ning Ji was undoubtedly talking nonsense, or wasting time.

"It is an obvious quality. It can ensure that no one is deliberately wronged."

As Ning Ji was speaking, someone knocked on the door quickly.

"Please come in."

Li Lusheng glanced at the gate of Bailing Pavilion, wondering what kind of person would come out of there, but the knock on the door sounded as urgent as a rainstorm, so he must be no outsider.

Sure enough, the person who came in was Ning Qing, Ning Ji's younger brother, who was almost fully armed.

He was wearing a set of Wutongsi's soft armor, and must have just returned from Wutongsi.

"That remote little village does exist, but it has not been found on Earth." Ning Qing skillfully handed a stack of papers to Ning Ji, who put them under his hand without even looking at them.

Ning Ji also stood obediently behind Ning Ji.

"You may be confused as to why I would talk to you so much, but that's because I do have a lot to say to you. We are thousands of miles apart, and it's really not right for me to be so busy with work when I meet..."

"I told you... I'm doing this for your own good." Li Lusheng became calm again, leaning back on the recliner, shaking his head and sighing at his friend's desperate "resistance": "What kind of person would require you to take such a big risk? Lord Tan Mingqiu would not tell you in advance like I would. If you hand over the person, we can both live in peace and everything will be over! Ning Ji!"

He leaned against the chair with his whole body, his eyes filled with the longing for a close friend, and the little deer on his shoulder was lying on its left shoulder, his whole body bright.

"Now, unless there is a special situation, I will not give up and leave their innocence behind. Wutongsi has the right to interfere in the spy incidents near Bailing Mountain. The war has just ended not long ago... I am more anxious than you about strangers who appeared near Bailing Mountain for no reason. This is related to the safety of Bailing Mountain."

"But you are making fun of the safety of the countless lives in Bailing Mountain!"

When Ning Ji spoke, his expression did not change, and he looked calm and composed, which was obviously inconsistent with the safety he talked about.

Now they all look like children, but among the Chinese, they are already considered mature and have even been able to stand on their own.

The war took away too many fathers, including their own parents.

Therefore, it was rare for Li Lusheng to change from being calm to being excited.

It is absolutely unacceptable for one's good friend to be associated with a Principality citizen who might be a spy.

If these ungrateful dukes appeared in other places, no one would care about their life or death. If His Majesty the Emperor wanted to take them back to the imperial capital, he would do so in an instant without any hesitation.

The war was just over and it was linked to the Principality. His Majesty the Emperor would never leave it alone. Even if he had to conduct an investigation, he would conduct a thousand investigations. So many people died in the country, all because of the Principality. It is better not to let such a delicate matter happen.

But it happened to land on Bailing Mountain. Ning Ji, who had just inherited the throne of Bailing not long ago, chose to clear the name of the "spy suspect"...

This is simply unreasonable.

Just like Li Lusheng said, Ning Ji was making fun of all the living beings in Bailing Mountain.

This may involve extremely serious treason!
Anyone related to Ning Ji may be beheaded together.

Who is Ning Ji... the lord of Bai Ling. If he makes a mistake, the entire Bai Ling Mountain, the county, and the city will be massacred.

No one would be stupid enough... especially him.

"I don't want to hear your excuses anymore! Hand over those two outsiders, and we can write off everything we said here. I will report to Lord Tan and we will leave for the imperial capital immediately!"

Li Lusheng also began to become indifferent.

He already knew that Ning Ji would not negotiate. He was determined to protect the two strangers who came from nowhere.

"I'll go tell Mr. Tan..."

He stood up again. Ning Ji didn't say anything. He just whispered something to Ning Qing, and Ning Qing answered him.

"I don't know where the Earth is... maybe it's a paradise..."

Not sure if it was intentional or unintentional, but Ning Qing's voice was so loud that Li Lusheng suddenly turned around and looked at Ning Ji with a little anger.

"I thought you could really convince me!" The white deer on his shoulder also jumped up angrily, and shiny horns instantly grew on his forehead.

The white deer calls out, and the afterglow shines in my eyes.

"So you don't know where the Earth is, right?"

Li Lusheng spoke in an authentic northern dialect. Ning Ji and Ning Qing, who spoke in the southern dialect, accidentally didn't understand and just stood there in a daze.

"Uh...what?"

Ning Ji was confused and stood up.

Ning Qing behind him also straightened his back.

"Don't you know where the Earth is?! The Earth! It doesn't even exist, right?!"

Li Lusheng didn't know where the earth was, but it was obvious that he had come into contact with the term "earth".

He seemed to have been prepared for the words of the suspected spy. His purpose in coming to Ning Ji was naturally that he did not want Ning Ji to be implicated.

I spent a lot of effort and thought Ning Ji was confident and well prepared, but now it seems that I have worked for nothing and wasted my time.

Ning Ji, you must wade into this muddy water.

Li Lusheng was stunned, then walked over quietly and slapped the table, making a loud "bang" sound!

"Ha! Great! Ning Ji! Since you have no idea where the Earth is, why are you so stubborn?! Do you know what it means to enter the Sky-reaching Viper Prison?!"

His anger turned his whole body into crystal. Before he officially inherited his father's name, his white deer could not bear too much of his emotions.

"The Earth exists..." Ning Ji looked at Li Lusheng awkwardly, as if he was looking at a big fool: "I know... The Earth exists... It's just that it's different from what you imagined. It's not the name of a village..."

Ning Ji said softly and cautiously: "As a village, the Earth does not exist...but as a place...it exists in a way that is unimaginable."

unimaginable.

This is Ning Ji’s description of the earth.

Now, what he said to Li Lusheng was everything he wanted to tell His Majesty.

“You may not be able to imagine it, but it does exist. If you are still afraid that there is no such place, then you should first learn to be humble.”

Ning Ji knew who would hear this sentence - or describe it.

This is the beginning of all despair.

Everything is called desire. A young man who is under the name of the spirit of "Dressed in Infinity" as the Lord of the White Spirit wants to grasp all hopes in his hands.

Perhaps the world is already full of monsters.

Or, endless puppets!
