Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl-Chapter 489 - : What’s Gu Ning’s Reason?

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: What’s Gu Ning’s Reason?

Jiang Xiaobai was indeed shocked. He was left wondering as to why his reputation had suddenly soared!

Over seven thousand points!

Even back when he single-handedly wreaked havoc in the Central and Northern States, he failed to garner such popularity. freёwebnoѵel.com

After realizing the reasons, Jiang Xiaobai had initially brushed it off, assuming it to be a consequence of sabotaging the ancient clan.

But now, it seemed the reason laid elsewhere!

He naturally knew who the mentor mentioned was and besides Gu Ning, he couldn’t think of anyone else.

However, why was Gu Ning so interested in him?

Moreover, she even went as far as challenging the war god’s temple single-handedly for him!

What shocked Jiang Xiaobai even more was the fact that Gu Ning appeared to be incredibly powerful. She was actually capable of slaughtering her way through the entire war god’s temple!

Wasn’t she just in the late stage of crossing the cataclysm?

It wasn’t just Jiang Xiaobai who was shocked, but also Ao Yan and the others. AnRan, in particular, exclaimed in astonishment.

“Boss, your so-called cheap mentor seriously doesn’t come cheap at all!”

Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes. “What do you mean by cheap mentor? That title cost me nearly my life. Don’t you remember how that woman claimed that if I failed the secret realm challenge, I may die?”

After giving it some thought, AnRan admitted it did sound like something Gu Ning would say.

“By the way, do you know specifics and details of what happened?” At this point, Jiang Xiaobai turned to Lin Zi with curiosity.

Looking at Jiang Xiaobai with admiration, Lin Zi enthusiastically began relaying every detail she knew.

The details she knew were hardly different from what actually transpired.

When everyone discovered that Gu Ning could single-handedly strike down a warrior from the war god’s temple with one swing, they were all shocked!

Furthermore, they were in awe that Gu Ning nearly destroyed the war god’s temple single-handedly!

Being able to nearly obliterate a sacred city’s power single-handedly was a feat one could hardly fathom!

This extraordinary feat of Jiang Xiao Bai’s was the reason why Lin Zi admired him so much.

Who wouldn’t wish for a sensei that was both incredibly powerful and protective?

However, Jiang Xiao Bai himself was somewhat sentimental.

“Sigh, why didn’t she just wipe out that war god’s temple, instead of leaving King Li behind for me to deal with?” Jiang Xiaobai sighed.

On the side, Lin Zi exclaimed, “Be content, Jiang Xiaobai. Do you know how famous you are now in the holy city?”

“Your fame precedes you. You haven’t visited the holy city yet, but your name has already reached there. I assure you, unless you back them into a corner, none of them would dare lay a hand on you.”

At this, Jiang Xiaobai somewhat embarrassedly scratched his head.

Then, under the guidance of a few elders from Zijing Pavillion, Jiang Xiaobai and the others were entertained in a large hall.

They were served fine wine and dishes, and throughout the banquet, Lin Zi could be seen whispering to Ao Yan.

After a satisfactory feast, Jiang Xiaobai became curious about Zijing Pavillion.

“What exactly is Zijing Pavillion? It’s so mighty that even the tomb keepers of the holy city are scared of it,” Jiang Xiaobai asked, while laughing at Lin Zi.

“Hehe, that’s because Zijing Pavillion is a subsidiary sect of the Water Light Tower in the holy city,” Lin Zi chuckled as she replied.

“We cultivate a unique technique in Zijing Pavillion which can only be practiced by women and is very powerful. Just counting the elders in the late stages of crossing the cataclysm, we have three in our pavilion!”

“The elder who invited you to the ancient clan’s auction seems very interested in you. What do you think?”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, not knowing why that elder of Zijing Pavillion found him interesting.

Yet, after the conversation earlier, he had a rough idea of Zijing Pavillion’s strength.

Given they wouldn’t reveal their secret skills, he didn’t plan to inquire either.

Staying inside the Zijing Pavillion was okay for now.

However, with only a few days left until the secret realm opened, this wasn’t a permanent solution.

“Let’s not worry about that. As Zijing is so powerful, why should we leave the city? We can just use the teleportation matrix here and leave.”

“Let that dog-like creature patrol outside. I hope he dies while doing it!”

The mere thought of that Creepy Dude gave Jiang Xiaobai a headache.

That night, they were all arranged to stay in a large courtyard meant for visiting guests.

As Zijing Pavillion was exclusively comprised of women, a significant number of its disciples couldn’t interact with men during their cultivation—some weren’t even allowed to see them.

Therefore, Lin Zi had explicitly advised Jiang Xiaobai and the others not to wander around aimlessly. Doing so might interrupt the disciples’ cultivation or cause other hindrance, which would be inconvenient.

Once Lin Zi left, Ao Cheng immediately moved closer to Jiang Xiaobai.

“So, what do you think of the saintess?” Ao Cheng licked his lips, appearing lewd.

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged. “I suggest you better not get any funny ideas. Didn’t you hear that due to their unique cultivation method, they can’t interact much with men?”

“Tch, I have already found out discretely. Although Zijing Pavillion’s cultivation methodology is unique, once they reach a certain level of proficiency, they can interact normally.”

“Besides, Water Light Tower houses temples that are close to Towards Heaven Sect. You see, this means being near water makes it easier to get the moon, right?”

“With my capabilities, that saintess is definitely going to be mine!”

Seeing Ao Cheng’s narcissism, Jiang Xiaobai chose not to comment and took advantage of the quiet to ponder over something else instead.

Why was Gu Ning so invested in him?

Initially, when they met for the first time, she forced Jiang Xiaobai to accept her as his mentor, and now, she was treating him as her student.

Until now, Jiang Xiaobai never really thought that Gu Ning, that woman, would treat him like her direct disciple.

Now, it was indeed unexpected.

Moreover, upon reflection, Gu Ning’s deeds were incredibly high-profile!

It seemed like she was intentionally making the people of the holy city wary of him, Jiang Xiaobai.

“This is odd. I don’t know what she is up to. Isn’t she unnecessarily raising the difficulty level of my holy city dungeon exploration?” Jiang Xiaobai asked rhetorically.

Just kidding. While it is true that Gu Ning’s strength made the holy city wary of him, it also meant that Jiang Xiaobai himself would draw the holy city’s attention.

Who knows how many enemies he might end up having in there!

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was lost in his thoughts, his brows creased, and a token appeared in his hand.

This was the token Kong Yuhuai had given him. Previously, when he returned to Dragon Valley, he had tried to look for Kong Yuhuai, but it seemed the guy was secluded and hadn’t returned.

Now, all of a sudden, he received a message from him, which surprised Jiang Xiaobai.

“Brother Jiang, I’m out of seclusion!”

“Tomorrow, we will be arriving at Zijing City to prepare for the Pill Ceremony competition. Will you be joining us, Brother Jiang?”
