Chapter 1235 I'm pretty good at guessing, aren't I?
"Actually, it would be reasonable to say that you are not the target."
Ning Ruan looked at the two of them and slowly opened her lips.
"What?" Bai Zhuo asked in surprise.
Ning Ruan said, "I also heard a piece of news in the Eternal Domain, but I don't know if it's true or not. Some people say that the Flame Spider Clan is currently preparing for war."
"Prepare for war?" Bai Zhuo was taken aback. "Now?"
That's what they say, but we don't know if it's true or not yet.
"There's no smoke without fire; if such a rumor exists, it's probably true."
Bai Zhuo took a deep breath. "I will inform the elders about this matter. Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Ning Ruan didn't care, "You're welcome."
Li Yuan was already eager to return home, and with this additional news, Bai Zhuo was also eager to go back.
After watching the two leave, Ning Ruan slowly returned to the Eternal Domain.
……
Three days later.
Ning Ruanfang received a telepathic message from Li Yuan: "My benefactor, I have prepared the Hundred Flower Soul Essence you requested, and it is on its way."
"In addition, an elder from the clan has come with me. I wonder if that famous Spider Clan cultivator is still alive? If he is, would it be convenient to ask him a few questions?"
Flame Spider Clan cultivator?
Ning Ruan paused, holding the communication talisman. She had really forgotten about this guy.
He's at least at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Surely he can't really be dead?
Put down the transmission talisman.
Ning Ruan quickly took out the scroll.
At a glance, one could see that the Foundation Establishment cultivator was soaking in the river, rising and falling with the current...
She lightly tapped the scroll with her finger, "Is it still alive? If it is, make a sound."
"……squeak……"
Ning Ruan: "..."
Little Red: "Squeak—"
"Don't follow his example, you'll become stupid." Ning Ruan slapped the hilt of her sword.
Xiao Hong immediately became obedient, saying, "I won't learn from him, he's stupid."
Ning Ruan nodded in satisfaction, then looked into the scroll and asked, "Are you preparing for war?"
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator, who had been lying on the river like a corpse in the painting, finally moved.
With great difficulty, he raised his head, his voice extremely weak, "Save...save me..."
“Okay, answer me and I’ll let you out.” Ning Ruan readily agreed.
This kind of promise is even more deceitful than a lie.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivators didn't believe it at all.
But he was already dying.
He had no energy left to argue, and could only hope that the other party would keep their promise and release him from this grotesque painting.
"Never..."
"No preparations for war?"
"Never!"
“I don’t believe you. Say it again,” Ning Ruan said seriously.
Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "..."
He nearly choked to death on the river, gasping for breath, "Really not."
"lie."
"Really...no..."
"I do not believe."
"...There isn't one..."
“See, I told you you guys were really preparing for war,” Ning Ruan said. “I was right.”
Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "..."
Is this your guess?
Didn't you just turn a two-option question into a single option?
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator felt like he was about to die of anger.
How could someone like Ning Ruan exist in this world?
"You're preparing for war, but who are you planning to fight?" Ning Ruan asked again.
"..." The Flame Spider Clan cultivator fell silent.
Ning Ruan didn't give him a chance to remain silent. "Not going to talk? Then I'll draw you some more friends. What do you want?"
"..." The Flame Spider Clan cultivator gritted his teeth and said, "We really weren't... prepared for war."
"Please...let me out first, then I can...talk properly."
“Not for now.” Ning Ruan said matter-of-factly, “I’m only at the ninth level. If I let you out, you’ll regain your strength, right? I can’t beat you then.”
Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "..."
He's in such a half-dead state now, even if he recovers his cultivation, he won't be in much better shape.
It's hard to say whether he can defeat an ordinary ninth-realm cultivator.
What's more, Ning Ruan was capable of killing Wang Xuan?
Who is actually stronger than whom?
He stopped speaking altogether.
They continued to lie on the water's surface like corpses.
He refused to speak again, no matter how Ning Ruan questioned him.
If I don't speak, I can save some energy and live a little longer.
He felt like he was about to die of anger after just a few words he had spoken.
"I heard you guys are pretty good at hiding your strength."
"Now that two years have passed, could their strength have increased significantly again?"
Ning Ruan asked casually while drinking her milk tea.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator remained silent.
But this didn't bother Ning Ruan. She continued to ask curiously, "Did you really hide your strength for a long time, or did it suddenly increase?"
"If it's the former, then you are indeed very ambitious. It's quite remarkable that you could hide it so deeply and for so long."
“If it’s the latter…” Ning Ruan chuckled, “then you’ll be even more remarkable. A sudden increase in strength means either you’ve obtained something good, or… you’ve had the help of a benefactor.”
"Who is this important person?"
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator, who resembled a corpse, sneered, "You really do... know how to think."
“That’s right. I don’t usually like to use my brain, but if it’s something really interesting, I’ll use it.” Ning Ruan agreed.
"For example, you wouldn't say a word just now, but you suddenly started talking now. Are you in a hurry?"
Ning Ruan rubbed her chin. "Did I guess right again?"
"I knew it! I'm a good guesser. Your strong reaction means I must have been right."
Little Red chimed in, "Our master is the best at guessing."
"..."
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator fell silent once again.
I will resolutely not speak again.
If he could, he wouldn't even want to hear the sound of that man and his sword again.
But there is no way.
He is in extremely poor condition right now. He is unable to use his spiritual power and is like a cripple. He is also seriously injured and can hardly move.
They could only passively hear the demonic sounds piercing their ears from outside the painting.
"Since I guessed right, let's continue guessing who this important person is?"
"..."
"First, we must rule out the Phoenix Clan; they certainly wouldn't encourage you to launch a war of annihilation."
"Then there are the other nine races... Logically speaking, they are quite suspicious, but I have dealt with them quite a bit. Based on my understanding of them, if they really wanted to deal with a race, they would have done it themselves. There is no need to train you to be their pawns. After all, you are not even among the top 100 races, so you are not of much use."
"..." The Flame Spider Clan cultivator almost couldn't help but retort again.
Analyzing is fine, but to deliberately belittle it is unacceptable!
Fortunately, he still retained some semblance of rationality and managed to refrain from speaking.
What if he speaks and Ning Ruan says she guessed something?
"Still no response. Looks like I guessed right again this time."
"Nobles are not among the ten major races."
Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "???"
How exactly were these conclusions reached?
He reacted; he was anxious. She guessed right.
He didn't react, so she guessed right again?
But the crucial thing is, damn Ning Ruan, she actually guessed right!
