Chapter 1328: Carry Me and I’ll Tell You
Some of the people who had been deceived not very long ago were a little suspicious, thinking that it might be another trick. However, upon seeing everyone else starting to run, they also hurriedly ran to catch up. They were pretty bitter. They were hungry and barely got to rest at all before they had to start running again.
“Woman, I won’t be able to go on for much longer. You’ll have to carry me,” said Qiu Mu to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu’s face darkened and she kicked Qiu Mu’s ass. “I am not your family’s maid.”
Qiu Mu glared at Ning Shu. “You’re so rude. Before, I thought that you were still alright, so I was considering letting you become my wife, but now I don’t want you anymore.”
Ning Shu: Scram...
Ning Shu ran slowly at a consistent speed, staying near the end of the group while watching the people that were running as fast as they could in front. She didn’t care about winning prizes at all.
The so-called prize might even be another one of Lord Qing Hua’s tricks.
It would definitely be in line with Lord Qing Hua’s personality to do something like this.
Qiu Mu was panting heavily as he ran next to Ning Shu. “Can you... can you let me lean on you? I’m exhausted.”
Young Master Qiu Mu had never suffered like this before. He had been forced to run until he was panting like a dog.
Ning Shu ignored him and continued to run slowly. Qiu Mu and Ning Shu slowly fell behind the rest of the group. Qiu Mu was relieved. “Good thing you’re with me.”
Ning Shu: ...
Yu Linger was running amongst the front of the group. She had already started cultivating, so her body was stronger than that of ordinary people.
Ning Shu looked at the bone-tired Qiu Mu. “Since you’re so talented, why didn’t you start cultivating sooner?”
“My dad-... so tired, don’t talk to me right now.” Qiu Mu looked at Ning Shu. “If you carry me I’ll tell you.”
“I don’t want to know anymore.”
Qiu Mu: ...
By the time they reached the gate of Immortal Sect, Ning Shu’s legs felt like lead. She couldn’t lift them anymore. Qiu Mu fell to his knees and then collapsed forward with a thump. He sprawled out on the ground like a slug and started inching towards Ning Shu’s feet. “Lend me a hand.”
Ning Shu: -_-!
She lifted him by his collar.
Immortal Sect couldn’t be seen clearly thanks to the large formation protecting the mountain. There was only a vast expanse of white laid out in front of them. Nothing else could be seen.
As the spell formation protecting the mountain was opened, the view of the majestic Immortal Sect was revealed. The two words Immortal Sect looked awe-inspiring and righteous, the strokes were as majestic as a dragon flying in the sky.
There was also a staircase that extended with no end in sight. Its final destination was unknown.
“Start climbing now,” said Lord Qing Hua lightly.
Qiu Mu wailed in despair. He was going to die.
Ning Shu stepped onto the steps and her surroundings suddenly filled up with a dense fog. All she could see were the steps. Furthermore, she was the only one on the staircase. There was no one else in sight.
Ning Shu guessed that this was the work of a spiritual artifact.
She climbed up the stairs slowly. At first she didn’t feel anything, but the more she climbed, the heavier the pressure clamped down on her. The pressure on her body made her feel like her lungs were about to explode.
It took her a long time to climb up just one step. After thinking for a bit, she decided to simply take a seat on the stairs and not bother with continuing on.
Ning Shu really didn’t want to join Immortal Sect.
Xiao Susu wanted to change her fate. She didn’t necessarily have to stay in Immortal Sect in order to do that. In fact, she was at higher risk of being exposed if she stayed in the sect.
It was better to be eliminated from the selection entirely.
Xiao Susu hadn’t requested for her to deal with Lord Qing Hua, so she should leave him for Xiao Susu to deal with once she came back.
Xiao Susu wanted to become strong. Strong enough to rid herself of the pain caused by her bloodline and rid herself of the shackles she was bound by thanks to that blood.
That made Ning Shu’s task much simpler.
After leaving Immortal Sect, she should find a way to get rid of the seal on her body. As long as the seal was on her, her life would still be in the hands of others.
