Chapter 1326 The Number One Floor Under Heaven
"Cough! Cough cough..."
The waiter seemed to choke on an invisible breath, coughing violently, his face instantly turning bright red.
He glanced around in alarm, and after confirming that no one had noticed anything amiss, he hurriedly lowered his voice and urgently transmitted his message.
"Guest! Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
"In this Eternal Domain, especially within Jiao City, it's best not to address that young master by his name directly."
"Oh." Ning Ruan nodded, calmly finished eating the last spiritual fruit in her hand, her expression unchanged.
"..."
Seeing her completely fearless demeanor, the waiter inwardly groaned.
Suddenly I regretted being greedy.
But the greed has already been made, and it's too late to regret it now.
With a determined effort, he transmitted his voice again:
"Since you know that young master, you must also know that she was seriously injured and sent back to the Jiaolong clan, right?" The waiter carefully chose his words. "It is said that Ning Ruan of the human race ambushed and injured her."
Upon hearing this, Ning Ruan's brows twitched almost imperceptibly.
“It wasn’t a sneak attack.” She interrupted the waiter directly, correcting him seriously, “It was a public attack.”
waiter:"……"
The waiter's expression froze, his mouth slightly agape, unsure how to react for a moment.
That's not the point he was trying to make at all.
Who cares whether Ning Ruan attacks in public or by sneak attack?
Perhaps only Ning Ruan himself would care.
Taking a deep breath and feeling the two heavy storage bags at his waist, the waiter patiently continued to transmit his voice:
"...In short, after that incident, although the young master recovered from her injuries, her madness became even more severe."
"It's not just humans; any other race that doesn't comply with her will be publicly humiliated, or worse... taken away and tortured."
At this point, a hint of undisguised disgust flashed in the waiter's eyes, but more than that, fear.
A fear that runs deep in your bones.
When he said the last sentence, his tone became noticeably lower.
"Even among our own Jiao clan, quite a few... have lost their lives at her hands."
Ning Ruan raised her calm gaze slightly: "Your Jiao Clan doesn't care about what she's doing?"
The waiter sighed, his voice filled with helplessness and sorrow: "In the past... in the past, there were ways to stop it."
"But ever since that young master recovered from his serious injuries, the clan has been even more protective of her."
In fact, it's not just outsiders who don't understand.
Even he, a fellow member of the Jiaolong clan, couldn't understand it at all.
In the end, one can only sigh and say, "What can you do when someone is born into a privileged family?"
Having a mother who ascended to immortality, even if she were a useless person, would be enough to protect her for a lifetime.
"Take care of it."
Ning Ruan chuckled softly and murmured.
My fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"How did she arrest them? Did she come to the Eternal Realm herself to arrest them? Or did she send someone to arrest them?"
“This…” The waiter hesitated again.
But he had probably said enough today, and because he had said too much, he had actually stirred up some anger. After hesitating for a moment, he transmitted his voice:
“She often goes to the Eternal Domain, which is closest to the four domains of the main world. Our side is next to the Northern Domain, so she often comes here too.”
"However, even when he comes, he rarely shows his face. He used to show his face often, but after recovering from his injury this time, he hasn't shown his face at all."
"Do you know about the No. 1 Restaurant under Heaven?"
"Is it also a restaurant?" Ning Ruan looked up.
The waiter shook his head. "The Number One Pavilion Under Heaven is a place where any young cultivator with good talent can enter. It serves as a place for everyone to exchange skills and techniques."
"However, this is only in name. Apart from those sycophants who flatter and fawn over her, no young cultivator will actually go."
"So now, this place... is almost the same as that young master's private cave dwelling."
The waiter could hardly hide his disgust at the mention of this.
“Especially recently, she has been coming quite frequently. I heard that she often goes to the Four Directions Eternal Domain, and most of the people who are captured are imprisoned here.”
"Where is the Number One Building Under Heaven?" Ning Ruan asked. "Is it in Jiaocheng?"
"..."
The waiter's face turned pale.
His body stiffened, and after a long while, he managed to utter a single, difficult sentence: "Guest...are you going to leave?"
Ning Ruan chuckled, slowly stood up, and with a wave of her hand, Xiao Hong flew over in response.
This is the first time I've actively returned to my sea of consciousness.
Incredibly well-behaved.
"Don't worry, even if we go, no one will know about our conversation today."
As Ning Ruan spoke, she bypassed the waiter and headed outside...
……
"Ning Ruan, what were you two talking about just now?"
Ning Ruan strolled leisurely down the street.
Suddenly, Chi Ling's voice echoed in my mind.
Ning Ruan replied telepathically, her tone full of surprise, "You can speak without leaving the Soul-Nourishing Jade?"
Chiling: "!"
Even if she's a ghost, she's still trying her best to heal herself!
"Having consumed so many of your finest foods and spent so long in the Soul-Nourishing Jade, if I still don't even know how to transmit my voice, wouldn't I be a useless piece of trash?"
Ning Ruan nodded, "That makes sense."
The Soul-Nourishing Jade at his waist vibrated slightly.
Chi Ling's voice echoed in his mind again, "You still haven't said anything. What were you two talking about? Why do I sense killing intent from you?"
Ning Ruan patted the Soul-Nourishing Jade and said in a serious tone:
"What murderous aura? You can sense this even though it's hidden inside your jade pendant?"
Chiling: "...I can!"
The moment he finished speaking, the murderous aura vanished.
It vanished completely, as if what had just happened was merely her imagination.
But the more she thought about it, the more certain she became that Ning Ruan had just harbored murderous intent.
"Actually, we didn't talk about much. Have you heard of the No. 1 Restaurant Under Heaven?"
"...I only know about the Number One Pavilion in the World."
"What is this?"
"How come you don't even know this?"
"So what is it?"
“It was created by a chosen one of the Yan Clan, a place specifically for the geniuses of all races to hone their skills and exchange ideas.” When mentioning the other party, Chi Ling’s tone became complicated. “Actually, I was originally planning to go there once this time.”
"But it seems there's no chance now. You, on the other hand, could go if you have the opportunity."
"And what is this 'Number One Building Under Heaven' you're talking about?"
Ning Ruan: "..."
She didn't believe for a second that the names "Number One Building Under Heaven" and "Number One Pavilion Under Heaven" were a coincidence.
"The owner of the number one building under heaven is the Dragon Spirit Pearl."
Ning Ruan had just sent the message when Chi Ling's voice echoed in her mind: "Dragon Spirit Pearl? Don't tell me the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven is also a place that gathers geniuses from all races?"
"You're so smart," Ning Ruan praised.
The Soul-Nourishing Jade vibrated again, and Chi Ling asked incredulously, "Then how come I've never heard of it before?"
"Because there aren't many geniuses going there." Ning Ruan felt that the reason why the reputation of the Number One Pavilion in the World hadn't spread was probably because the Jiaolong Clan had intervened.
This thing sounds like it's imitating that "Number One Pavilion Under Heaven".
The attempt to imitate it was unsuccessful.
On the contrary, the existence of the Dragon Spirit Pearl changed its flavor.
If the Jiaolong clan doesn't intervene and its reputation spreads throughout the various clans, it will only make them a laughingstock.
After a long silence, Chi Ling finally said, "...What exactly is she thinking? Even ordinary people wouldn't dare to build the first number one pavilion in the world. Where did she get the courage?"
“They are clearly twin sisters. I’ve met Long Lingbi before. Although she’s a bit arrogant, she’s worthy of her strength and talent. But Long Lingzhu…”
Chiling couldn't continue.
She just couldn't understand it. Even if one was destined for heaven and the other wasn't, how could they raise two people who were so different from each other?
Ningruan did not answer this question.
After all, she didn't know the universally praised Long Lingbi.
Chiling had never heard of the number one building under heaven.
Ning Ruan could only ask others for help.
Fortunately, this place might not be well-known elsewhere.
But in the vicinity of the Jiao Clan, it was truly common knowledge.
Its reputation... is really not good.
