Ai Di cupped his fists and spoke with an expressionless face, “I will take Sect Master Ning’s works back . Goodbye . ”

After saying that, Ai Di turned around and left . Suo Zihui also quickly saluted Ning Cheng before cupping her fists and going with Ai Di .
“Many thanks, Sect Master Ning . ” After Ai Di left, Aunt Xu approached Ning Cheng and thanked him with a deep bow . If it weren’t for Ning Cheng, it wouldn’t have mattered much if people bossed her around . The important thing was that someone would have taken over Striking Order Emperor Mountain . No matter if Striking Order Heavenly Emperor could return or not, once such a thing happened, she would truly feel sorry for Striking Order Heavenly Emperor .
Ning Cheng smiled slightly, “Brother Striking Order and I are already friends, so his problems are my problems too . Go ahead and do what you have to do; I have a few matters to discuss with Brother Duan . ”
That said, Ning Cheng then looked at Duan Gantai with a smile . “Brother Duan, I haven’t seen you in a long time . Let’s sit down and have a hearty discussion . ”
Duan Gantai, who just a few moments ago wanted to force a ‘talk’ with Ning Cheng, suddenly changed his tone . He instantly put himself on a lower pedestal to Ning Cheng and said, “Of course, Brother Ning, please take the lead . This little brother will follow you . ”
Aunt Xu also retired from the scene . With Ning Cheng chasing away the people from Yue Clan, she had a lot of things to do . Moreover, with Ning Cheng’s words today, no one would dare covet Striking Order Starry Sky for now . But since Striking Order Heavenly Emperor hadn’t returned, she had to take up the task of stabilising the Striking Order Starry Sky . No matter how bad the situation elsewhere, she knew that she had to start from securing the Striking Order Starland .
However, before leaving Striking Celestial Rest Stop, she specifically instructed others to take care of Ning Cheng .
But even without Aunt Xu’s reminder, Striking Celestial Rest Stop wouldn’t dare to neglect Ning Cheng . For this reason, the rest stop’s master personally opened Striking Celestial Rest Stop’s best booth for the two people .
“I don’t know why Brother Duan came looking for me? Brother Duan arrived right after I came to Lucky Heaven City . What a coincidence, ah . ” Ning Cheng said as he sat down with a smile .

Duan Gantai despised Ning Cheng in his heart . If you didn’t want me to find you, would I have found you? However, he just gave a simple smile . “I’ve been living in seclusion lately, and as soon as I got out, I sensed Brother Ning’s position . It’s been a long time since I saw Brother Ning, so I immediately decided to visit Brother Ning and pick up my Perpetual Moon Time Key . ”
Ning Cheng frowned and asked in doubt, “Brother Duan, did you lose your Perpetual Moon Time Key in Lucky Heaven City?”
Duan Gantai laughed hard before replying . “Brother Ning, you sure know how to make a joke . I gave my Perpetual Moon Time Key to Brother Ning for safekeeping last time we met . Don’t you remember, Brother Ning?”
“Oh, so Brother Duan is talking about this thing . I naturally remember it . But Brother Duan, I think you said something incorrect just now . You exchanged the white Perpetual Moon Time Key for the top-quality None-to-depend-on Wine, so how could Brother Duan say that it’s yours?”
Duan Gantai naturally wouldn’t let Ning Cheng corner him with words . He slapped his head and said, “Oh my goodness, I should have made it clear from the beginning . Thankfully, I recorded our conversation in a crystal ball . ”
While taking, Duan Gantai quickly took out a crystal ball . He then activated the crystal ball, which amplified his words . “… . . To make Brother Ning believe me, I will give Brother Ning the third key for the Temple of Time for safekeeping… . ”
After hearing the words recorded on the crystal ball, Duan Gantai chuckled . “Brother Ning, as I said, I only placed the key in Brother Ning’s care . I did not ‘give’ it to Brother Ning . Perhaps Brother Ning misremembered things just like I did in the past . ”
Ning Cheng replied without missing a beat, “Brother Duan, why does the crystal ball not show what transpired before? It seems as if something is missing . I remember giving the real None-to-depend-on Wine to Brother Duan . Or is it that Brother Duan wants to deny it?”
Duan Gantai then looked at the crystal ball before exclaiming in surprise . “Hey, that’s true . Alas, it looks like my cultivation is slipping with each passing day . Can’t even properly record a crystal ball . ”
With that said, Duan Gantai knocked on the crystal ball a few times, as if the crystal ball had a broken circuit or something . But after Duan Gantai hit the crystal ball a few times, another set of words appeared on it . “… . three pots of None-to-depend-on Wine is better than nothing . Many thanks, Brother Ning, for giving it to me for free . ” Then Ning Cheng replied, “It’s okay; it’s okay; it’s just a small matter . ”

After the words ended, Duan Gantai then put away the crystal ball . He then patted his head and said, “Oh no, looks like Brother Ning gave me the None-to-depend-on Wine for free . But don’t worry, I will never forget this generous gesture . Of course, if Brother Ning feels that it’s incorrect, I will follow Brother Ning’s advice and try to get that None-to-depend-on Wine back to Brother Ning . ”
Ning Cheng sneered internally . Those two sentences weren’t the full contents of the transaction . But even he had to admit, Duan Gantai had quite an insidious mind . He now felt sure about Duan Gantai secretly recording this conversation . If he gave in, Duan Gantai would most likely disseminate this crystal ball through countless channels . Even if he didn’t fear it, it would sink whatever reputation he had right now .
“Oh, so you’re saying that I gave None-to-depend-on Wine to Brother Duan for free?” Ning Cheng said in surprise .
Duan Gantai gave a careful nod . “Yes, I’m grateful to Brother Ning for that gift . I’m grateful for it . ”
“Since Brother Duan feels so grateful for it, then the None-to-depend-on Wine I gave to Brother Duan must have served an important purpose . Was it the real wine?” Ning Cheng asked with a smile .
Duan Gantai felt that this sentence was a bit inappropriate . But since he already thanked Ning Cheng for it a few moments ago, he could only say, “Yes, Brother Ning . The None-to-depend-on Wine you gave me was the real deal . It was the real stuff . ”
Ning Cheng chuckled and said, “Looks like Brother Duan can’t properly record words using crystal balls . Fortunately, I also have a crystal ball . Brother Duan, please do have a look . ”
After he finished talking, Ning Cheng raised his hand and brought out a crystal ball, which recorded every word spoken by Duan Gantai . “… . Brother Ning, if you have the real None-to-depend-on Wine, please give me just one jar . Whatever I have on my body, Brother Ning can freely select… . Brother Ning, I will give you a Starry Sky Essence Qi Spiritual Vein . Although I don’t have one right now, I can get the Starry Sky Essence Qi Spiritual Vein after I give the None-to-depend-on Wine to my friend…”
This crystal ball also had missing gaps, but it recorded all the promises Duan Gantai had made back then . Since he took Ning Cheng’s None-to-depend-on Wine, he would have to honour those promises .
After watching Ning Cheng’s crystal ball, Duan Gantai patted his head again and said, “Wow, I had a feeling that my recording still had a few missing parts . I guess that was what’s missing . Don’t worry, Brother Ning, I will give you half a Starry Sky Essence Qi Spirit Vein . How can my let my dear Brother Ning suffer like this . ”

Ning Cheng immediately stopped Duan Gantai from making any moves . “Brother Duan, what do you mean by half a Starry Sky Essence Qi Spirit Vein, I don’t seem to have agreed to it . ”
Duan Gantai secretly hated himself right now . To get some real None-to-depend-on Wine, he hadn’t given a second thought to the conditions he had agreed on previously . He also knew that it wouldn’t make any sense to take out the crystal ball anymore . Since he could take it out, so could Ning Cheng . As Ning Cheng said, the half a Starry Sky Essence Qi Spirit Vein was something he had proposed back then, but Ning Cheng had never agreed to it . This bastard deliberately planned everything, knowing that he would come back to ask him .
Ning Cheng knew back then that Duan Gantai would return and ask for it . Duan Gantai had decisively left the Perpetual Moon Time Key with him in exchange for the None-to-depend-on Wine . It meant that Duan Gantai obtained something at least equally tempting as the Temple of Time . Otherwise, with Duan Gantai’s personality, why would he ever even consider such a loss?
Because of this reason, Ning Cheng hadn’t agreed to any offer back then . In any case, he wasn’t afraid of Duan Gantai’s regret . But what he didn’t expect that Duan Gantai, like him, would also use a recording crystal ball . Moreover, Duan Gantai used an even more insidious method than him . He even mixed up the transactions on purpose and falsified them .
“Brother Ning, let’s hit the open air to speak in full confidence . Do you want a whole Starry Sky Essence Qi Spirit Vein?” Duan Gantai understood that he couldn’t fight against Ning Cheng right now . So, he chose the most direct method . Moreover, he wanted to reach the Devil Domain Grand Starry Sky as soon as possible to buy the Starry Sky Radish Grass .
“One? Haha, Brother Duan, it’s not that I don’t have full confidence in you, but I don’t lack any thinking capacity . As I pondered over it, I did feel something wrong with a few things . When Brother Duan asked me to go to the Temple of Time, I quite excited . But later, when Brother Duan took my None-to-depend-on Wine, I realised that Brother Duan just wanted to have fun with me at my expense . I guess there is nothing more between Brother Duan and me, and today’s the day we’re finally starting to split . ” After talking, Ning Cheng stood up directly .
Duan Gantai quickly spoke up with a smile, “Brother Ning, I’ve always been a true friend of Brother Ning . How could I make fun of Brother Ning? Brother Ning misunderstood, misunderstood . ”
How could he split with Ning Cheng right now? With Ning Cheng gone, what would he do about the Temple of Time? He had obtained quite a few things from within the Ancient Shadow Temple, so the contents in the Temple of Time definitely would be no less than the Ancient Shadow Temple . If this opportunity went to Ning Cheng, and he missed it, he would never forgive himself .
Ning Cheng snorted, “Well, in that case, let me tell you something . You told me to come to the Temple of Time, but you never told me that the Temple of Time hadn’t opened yet? I didn’t care about it back then because I believed in you too much . But now that I think about it, something wasn’t right about it since the start . ”
Duan Gantai cursed in his heart; you trusted me this much? You just wanted the third Perpetual Moon Time Key for yourself, or did you forget?
He didn’t dare to say this; instead, he spoke with a smile, “Brother Ning, please sit down, please forgive me for confusing you . I have a way to enter the Temple of Time before it opens . That’s why I made that decision . Brother Ning, rest assured, the Perpetual Moon Time Keys are for both of us, and I will share the way to enter the Temple of Time . ”
Ning Cheng felt ecstatic; he didn’t expect that Duan Gantai had a way to enter the Time Wilderness . What he had said before was purely on impulse; he didn’t think it would work .
Ning Cheng sat down and said, “Brother Duan, you said something wrong . You should have said that you have a way to enter the Temple of Time, but the Permanent Moon Time Keys aren’t with the two of us, but just me . Besides, I heard that Striking Order Heavenly Emperor has a way to enter the Temple of Time . So, I came here this time specifically to check whether Striking Order returned or not . ”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Duan Gantai immediately turned anxious . His greatest fear was that Ning Cheng would eventually get his hands on one of the Teleportation Jade Talismans to enter the Time Wilderness . Ning Cheng already had the three Temple of Time keys . If he also obtained a teleportation jade talisman, he wouldn’t even get to drink any soup .
“Brother Ning, if you don’t believe me, I’m willing to give you the jade talisman for the Temple of Time . Of course, you will have to give me one of the Perpetual Moon Time Key . ” Duan Gantai spoke with a positive tone .
Before, due to the anxiety of entering the Guardian Temple, he had no choice but to give the Perpetual Moon Time Key to Ning Cheng . Now that he already had 90% of the things within the Guardian Temple, he naturally had to find a way to recover the Perpetual Moon Time Keys . He didn’t think that such a thing would happen . But if even one out of a ten thousand chance existed of Striking Order Heavenly Emperor returning, what would he do?
