Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Spring Water is Toxic

  Fang Dong hastily smiled and said, "Ning senior, please forgive me. I was just momentarily curious and wanted to test your skills. I absolutely didn't mean to offend you."

  What a joke, the Jiuxuan Gate may have few people, but it's not like other sects with many disciples and industries all over the place. Those who can enter the gate are all geniuses, Qingping Daoist was a master of Yuanshen realm back then, his several disciples were all extraordinary, the second disciple who had been following Qingping Daoist for years was already a master of Lingzhi Huashen realm, not to mention the eldest and third disciples who have been silent for many years.

  Even Ningyuan's cultivation shocked Fang Dong, who was only twenty years old and had already reached the spiritual realm of introspection. The sect had a master with a spiritual shape-shifting realm, so even if there were few people, no one dared to underestimate the Jiuxuanmen.

  Fang Donglai just tested Ning Yuan to confirm whether he was the murderer of his son. Now that he has confirmed Ning Yuan's cultivation, he naturally does not dare to be excessive.

  "Hmph." Ning Yuan coldly snorted: "Director Fang, I'll let it slide this time considering you're grieving for your son. But if there's a next time, don't blame me for visiting Liu Maolin and asking Master Liu to preside over justice."

  "Senior, you're joking, it will never happen again." Fang Donglai hastily accompanied with a smile and said as he stood up: "It's getting late too, I won't disturb you anymore, I'll take my leave first and come to apologize another day."

  "I won't send it!" Ningyuan sat on the sofa and didn't get up, saying lightly, but his anger was still evident.

  Fang Donglai and Gao Jingping accompanied Xiao out of Ningyuan's house. Only after the two had left did Ningyuan slump onto the sofa, his face suddenly pale.

  He was dueling with Fang Shou Tian last night, so it's impossible for him to recover that quickly. Just now, he also had a run-in with Fang Dong Lai and has been barely holding on without revealing any weaknesses. Luckily, Fang Dong Lai left quickly; otherwise, he would have been exposed.

  Outside Ningyuan's house, Fang Donglai and Qingping got on the car. The car slowly started, and Fang Donglai asked in a low voice: "Qingping, what do you think of Ningyuan?"

  "The other party should not have entered the spiritual realm for a short time and cannot be Young Master's opponent." said Huaqing Ping.

  "Hmm." Fang Dong nodded and said, "I can sense that he used his full strength just now. His cultivation is still inferior to Shou Tian's, even if it was a sneak attack, he wouldn't be Shou Tian's opponent, let alone lure the evil into his body."

  As he spoke, Fang Donglai rubbed his temples again. Before seeing Ning Yuan, he had seen Chen Fachen in Xiangjiang and learned the truth from him.

  With seven lives in exchange for another person's fate, if this matter was truly done by a certain senior fellow of the Mystic Door who happened to pass by, Chen Fasheng would not be able to find an excuse to take revenge.

  But he could only watch as his own son turned into a cold corpse, and he didn't even know who the murderer was. Fang Donglai's heart was also very uncomfortable.

  I am a lovely dividing line

  Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, Ningyuan opened his eyes to find it was already after 8 o'clock. After breakfast, he took his luggage and went to school for assembly. Today was a field trip, and the school had set the time at 9 o'clock in the morning. At that time, all teams would gather and depart in batches.

  Ningyuan this time followed the first year history department, Liu Dong and Ouyang Shasha were both from this department. The whole department had more than 200 people, divided into three small groups. When Ningyuan arrived, the class teacher was lecturing to the students.

  The class teacher was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, wearing glasses and looking very capable. Next to her stood another middle-aged person in their 40s who should also be the team leader.

  The two saw Ningyuan coming over and nodded to him, continuing to say to the students: "This time everyone goes out, must abide by discipline, can't engage in private activities, if there's anything that needs to be done, it must be reported to me or Teacher Wang, of course, reporting to Doctor Ning is also okay."

  The instructor finished speaking, Liu Dong made a silly smile at Ning Yuan with raised eyebrows, while Ouyang Shasha looked straight ahead with a serious expression. After everyone had finished their statements, the group headed towards the door.

  At the school gate, many large buses had already stopped. The instructors led the students to find their respective buses, counted the number of people, and when boarding, each person was also given a small red hat.

  After everyone got on the bus, the female instructor handed one of the three small flags to Chen Laoshi and gave another to Ning Yuan: "Doctor Ning, this time we need you to take more care of things. Our team has 70 people, two buses, and I'd like you to keep an eye on this bus too."

  By this time, Ningyuan had already learned the names of these two instructors. The female instructor's surname was Zhang and her name was Zhang Xinyue. The male instructor's surname was Chen and his name was Chen Junxiong.

  Ning took over the small flag and nodded towards Zhang Xinyue, smiling: "Teacher Zhang is being polite, since we're a team, just give us any orders you have."

  Zhang Xinyue also smiled and nodded to Ning Yuan, not saying much to him, and continued to greet other students. Ning Yuan turned around, planning to find a seat to sit down, when Liu Dong beckoned to him, indicating that he had left a seat for him on the side.

  After everyone had settled in their seats, the bus slowly started and headed towards the suburbs, with Lianyun Mountain in Shangjiang City as the destination of Ningyuan's team.

  This team is all freshmen in their first year, and they have only been in school for two months. They are all eighteen or nineteen years old, and they are very excited on the way. The students occasionally open their luggage on the bus, comparing what they brought with each other, and the carriage is filled with laughter along the way.

  Of course, it's inevitable that there are also men and women secretly exchanging affectionate glances. Once in college, even the class advisors don't really care about the students' romantic relationships.

  The history department and literature department are the places where beautiful women emerge from each university, the ratio of men to women on the bus is already unbalanced, a dozen boys occasionally chat with this beauty, occasionally exchanging glances with that beauty.

  Ning Yu sat beside Liu Dong, with Ouyang Shasha separated by a passageway. Along the way, Ouyang Shasha kept looking out of the window, not making a sound, and seemed somewhat out of place compared to others. On the other hand, Liu Dong was very lively, chatting and laughing with several girls across the seats.

  The main road of Lianyun Mountain is located in the suburbs of Shangjiang City, with a mountainous highway. The bus drove for two hours and started climbing the mountain. Ningyuan looked out of the window and saw the Xiyuan Villa area at the foot of the mountain by the Jianghuai River.

  Seeing the layout of Xiyuan Villa, Ningyuan couldn't help but brighten up in front of her eyes. The location where this villa area was built is particularly good, especially when viewed from a high place, it is hidden and revealed by the mountain and trees, and the winding Jianghuai River is like a long dragon that surrounds the entire villa area.

  Backed by mountains and surrounded by water, the scenery is pleasant to people. The Feng Shui of this villa area must be designed by a master.

  Two large buses climbed up Lianyun Mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. The students began to unload their luggage from the bus while looking for a suitable place to prepare for a picnic.

  Ningyuan got off the car, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. The mountain air is still good, after all. A gentle breeze blew by, making one's heart feel carefree and relaxed.

  This Lianyun Mountain is also a famous scenic spot in Shangjiang City, with rolling hills and mountains, like a long dragon, with many famous tourist attractions.

  This time the school chose this area, which is another side of Lianyun Mountain, and did not enter the scenic area. There were not many tourists, and soon the students had laid out a blanket on a shaded open space, various foods were placed on it one after another, some had already set up a pot rack, preparing to start boiling water, Zhang Xinyue and Chen Junxiao were busy calling around, reminding students to pay attention to the fire and be careful not to cause a fire.

  Several male students holding water basins were preparing to fetch several buckets of mountain spring water from somewhere. As they walked this way, they shouted: "There is a small stream on the mountain side, with clear and sweet water, not bad at all! Does anyone want to try some?"

  Upon hearing the call, several students rushed over, and mountain spring water was a rare treat for most of them. For students who were used to tap water and mineral water, occasionally seeing clear mountain springs was no less exciting than people who were used to eating at restaurants occasionally encountering wild chickens and rabbits.

  Ningyuan was looking around, suddenly saw several students carrying mountain spring water, narrowed his eyes, walked over and scooped up a bit with his hand, smelled it carefully, then hastily shouted: "This water can't be drunk, stop!"

  Ning Yuan, after all, was a doctor, although young, also one or two years older than these students. When they heard Ning Yuan's shout, the students who had come to drink water stopped and looked at him strangely, asking in confusion: "Doctor Ning, is there something wrong with this water?"

  "It's not just a problem, it's a big problem." Ning Yuan glanced at the student who spoke, and saw that his face had already turned slightly dark. He went to find his medical box while saying, "Students who have drunk water come over here, this water is toxic."

  "It's poisonous!" The students heard this and immediately panicked. Several students who had drunk the water rushed over to Ning, surrounding him. The two male students holding the water basins didn't even care about the mountain spring water in their hands, they threw down the basins and hastily gathered around, asking: "Doctor Ning, is it really poisonous?"

  "Let everyone take a look at your face." Ning Yuan said irritably while rummaging through his medical box.

  Several students heard this and looked at the face of the male student who was speaking. This wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't looked, but as soon as they did, the students around them were shocked. They saw that the two students who had gone to fetch water had already turned pale with dark complexions, their faces seemingly shrouded in a layer of black gauze. It wasn't very noticeable earlier, but now everyone could see it clearly.
