I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1335 Destroying the Private Garden

"It's all your fault, you idiot! If you hadn't been so greedy for those spirit stones and insisted on robbing those guys, how would we have been targeted by the Jiaolong Clan's patrol team?" A young cultivator with a missing arm roared at the gaunt man in the next cell.

"Bullshit!" the gaunt man retorted without backing down. "Have I done less murder and robbery, or have you done less? This time was going to be a sure thing, but you couldn't control your lust and delayed our escape, which is why the patrol caught us."

"What's all the fuss about? You're about to die, what's the point of arguing? You've already been arrested and brought here, what's the use of thinking about who to blame now?"

In another cell, a cultivator, clearly disguised as a human, chuckled.

Perhaps his laughter was too loud, aggravating his wounds, causing him to groan in pain. "Cherish the days we have left. When that freak Long Lingzhu comes back, our lives might be over."

Someone else muttered in despair, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

"Who wants to die? Those two minor cultivators you killed at the World's Number One Pavilion, they didn't want to die either, but you still tortured them to death, didn't you?"

"...I only tormented them for one day. It was their own fault for being short-lived. What do their deaths have to do with me?"

"How is it none of your business? Would they die if you didn't torture them?"

"...And what about you? You're no better. Don't think I don't know. You're a regular at the Number One Restaurant in the World, aren't you? Quite a few people have probably died at your hands."

"so what……"

"..."

Ning Ruan: "..."

She had come to save lives, but suddenly fell silent.

Then he turned around and left.

It seems there's no need to rush to rescue this group.

On her way out of the private garden, Ning Ruan suddenly stopped.

He turned around and pulled out two sword talismans.

One in each hand.

She chuckled softly, and the sword talisman in her hand slammed down from the air.

The next second, streaks of light shot into the sky, piercing the silent night sky of the private garden, heading straight for the meticulously carved artificial mountains and pavilions.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

Deafening explosions rang out one after another.

After throwing away the sword talisman in her hand, Ning Ruan quickly pulled out two more and continued to smash them down.

The violent sword energy swept across the battlefield.

Wherever it passed, the ancient, icy artificial mountain turned to dust.

The warm jade-paved ground cracked inch by inch.

Even rare birds and animals cried out in panic and fled.

The once tranquil and luxurious private garden was ravaged into a mess by the violent sword energy in just a few breaths.

The huge commotion instantly alerted the entire Tianxia Diyi Lou (World's Number One Restaurant).

Several powerful and furious divine senses instantly locked onto the direction of the private garden, attempting to capture the culprit.

Ning Ruan remained invisible, standing at the edge of the ruins.

He watched as dozens of figures sped toward him from afar, his face remaining completely calm.

"What's going on?!"

"The private garden has been destroyed?!"

"Who is it?!"

"How dare you! You dare to cause trouble at the No. 1 Restaurant in the World!"

An angry roar, mixed with the aftershocks of a spiritual energy explosion, echoed in the night sky.

Ning Ruan turned around unhurriedly, without looking back, and brushed past the group of cultivators.

Even outside the private garden, one could still faintly hear the roars coming from inside.

"Seal off the World's Number One Building! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Search! Find them even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"

Ning Ruan smiled softly, pretending not to hear.

As soon as I returned to my residence, I heard a commotion outside.

Ning Ruan pushed open the door and saw two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators standing outside with expressionless faces.

"Sorry to bother you."

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators spoke without expression, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Someone has just trespassed into the young master's private garden and destroyed countless furnishings. We are ordered to search the area, please cooperate."

"search?"

Ning Ruan leaned against the door frame, watching the two of them with a leisurely air. "Sure."

She shrugged casually. "But how do you want to investigate?"

"Have you seen that thief?"

"..."

These words nearly stumped the two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who were acting on orders.

If only they had seen the thief.

Just arrest them directly.

The problem is, they didn't see it.

Not only them, but even the few powerful individuals who rushed there first didn't see it.

Taking a deep breath, a cultivator replied in a deep voice: "Although I did not see it with my own eyes, the sword energy was rampant in the private garden, so someone must have used a sword talisman."

As he spoke, his sharp gaze fell on Ning Ruan.

"I remember you seem to be a sword cultivator?"

"I am indeed a sword cultivator." Ning Ruan nodded frankly, without the slightest panic at being exposed.

She even smiled and continued, "Sword talismans can indeed only be made by sword cultivators."

"But as long as you have spirit stones, who can't buy a sword talisman?"

"I imagine that anyone who can afford to patronize your No. 1 Restaurant under Heaven must be quite well-off with spirit stones, right?"

"..." Of course.

If you're really short of spirit stones, you can't even get into the No. 1 Restaurant in the world.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators fell silent once again.

After a moment of silence, one of them asked, "Did you leave tonight?"

Ning Ruan said, "Of course not, I've been in my room the whole time."

Is there anyone who can testify?

"...Then you're making things difficult for me. I've never had anyone to serve me here. Where am I supposed to find someone who can testify?"

Even without witnesses, Ning Ruan spoke with conviction, "If you insist on doubting me just because of this, there's nothing I can do."

Two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators: "..."

After a brief search.

The two still left.

Ning Ruan casually closed the door, shutting out everything from the outside world.

"They already suspect you."

From the Soul-Nourishing Jade at his waist, Chi Ling's solemn voice rang out.

"Even without evidence now, they certainly won't let this go."

"It doesn't matter."

Ning Ruan walked to the table and sat down, casually picked up her gourd, and took a sip of milk tea.

"However, the private garden is now completely destroyed."

"The Dragon Spirit Pearl should be back soon, right?"

The Soul-Nourishing Jade vibrated slightly.

Chiling reacted instantly:

"So you were trying to lure her back?"

"if not?"

Ning Ruan took another sip of milk tea and retorted, "Do you really think I'm just bored and going to tear down her yard for fun?"

Chiling: "..."

That's really what she thought.

After all, given Ning Ruan's personality, it's perfectly normal for her to do something like this.
