Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Seeing Ning Yue Again

These two characters also entered the ears of Lin Jing and the other two.

Walking at the very front, Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing heard the words coming from inside…

They suddenly turned around, looking at Lin Jing in disbelief.

The two could not understand why the unparalleled beauty mentioned by Li Qingqing was looking for Lin Jing.

“Could it be a case of people having the same name?”

At that moment, the same thought surfaced in the minds of Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing.

In their view, Lin Jing was always at home, either cultivating or refining pills, never stepping outside his door, let alone wandering far.

How could he possibly know this person?

Moreover, even those who were closest to Lin Jing had no knowledge of this.

At this point, Lin Jing also knew…

who the so-called unparalleled beauty mentioned by Li Qingqing was.

Ning Yue.

Unexpectedly, she had come to Nanshan Market again…

No, to Nanshan Immortal City.

And no wonder, she was an Alchemist younger than Li Tangyu by a few years.

Lin Jing distinctly remembered.

When Wei Zhengqing was injured, Ning Yue refined a Pure Healing Elixir for him.

Back then she had said…

she had a premonition and was about to break through to become a third-grade alchemist.

Now, after such a long time, it isn’t strange for her to have become a third-grade alchemist.

“It must be someone with the same name…”

Li Qingqing gave Lin Jing a thorough once-over and then turned her head to whisper to Huang Qingling.

Hearing this, Huang Qingling also scrutinized Lin Jing before nodding emphatically.

Clearly, neither of them believed that Lin Jing could know the unparalleled beauty inside.

However, their voices, though soft…

were still overheard by Li Tangyu in the private room.

“Qingqing is here, come in…”

“I wonder if you have invited Brother Lin?”

Li Tangyu’s voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing playfully winked at Lin Jing.

Then Li Qingqing called out to Li Tangyu inside the booth:

“Brother, I have already invited Brother Lin Jing…”

After saying this, Li Qingqing turned and shared a smile with Huang Qingling.

Soon after, both of them approached the door of the private room and pushed it open.

“Eh?”

“Why just the two of you, where is Brother Lin?”

Lin Jing was still behind them at this time, so Li Tangyu inside the room hadn’t seen Lin Jing.

“Shy, he’s at the back…”

Li Qingqing said with a smile.

Hearing the conversation, Ning Yue showed a look of surprise and promptly asked:

“Did you just say…”

“Brother Lin Jing?”

“Yes, Brother Lin Jing!”

Li Qingqing replied to Ning Yue.

Lin Jing knew that Li Qingqing was definitely doing this on purpose.

At this moment, to avoid any misunderstanding, Li Tangyu quickly spoke up to explain:

“Miss Ning, I have a friend who is also named Lin Jing,”

“but I don’t know if he is the same person you’re looking for.”

“And he’s also an alchemist, I was thinking of introducing you two to each other…”

No sooner had Li Tangyu finished speaking than Lin Jing appeared at the doorway of the private room.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, it’s been a long time…”

Lin Jing said, smiling at Ning Yue.

At this moment, Ning Yue did not disguise herself at all, revealing her true appearance.

She was as beautiful as ever.

Although Lin Jing had only seen her true face a few times,

he could still recognize her clear and graceful features at a glance upon seeing her again.

Even with some mental preparation…

Lin Jing’s words still left Li Qingqing and Huang Qingling feeling somewhat incredulous.

At that moment, even Li Tangyu was momentarily stunned.

“Lin Jing, it’s really you…”

Ning Yue’s face also revealed a smile.

“It’s been a long time…”

Then, Li Tangyu was the first to snap out of it and said in disbelief:

“Brother Lin, I didn’t expect you to actually know Miss Ning.”

“I thought it was just someone with the same name…”

Following that, Li Tangyu swiftly gestured to them.

“Come, have a seat…”

“And you two, stop standing there slack-jawed, come sit down…”

It wasn’t until Li Tangyu called out that Li Qingqing and Huang Qingling snapped back to reality.

The two of them looked at Lin Jing with a very strange gaze.

Then, they turned their eyes toward Ning Yue.

At this moment, they racked their brains but couldn’t figure out why Lin Jing would know Ning Yue.

After all, whether in terms of cultivation or family background, there was a huge gap between them.

It could even be said that they were from two different worlds.

Next, Li Tangyu began to make the introductions.

He started with Li Qingqing.

“This is my younger sister. Miss Ning has met her before, so no need to reintroduce.”

Then he pointed to Huang Qingling:

“This young lady here is Elder Bai from Yuebaolou’s niece, Huang Qingling.”

“And Lin Jing, Brother Lin…”

“Since you two are old acquaintances, my introductions would be redundant.”

Having said that, he began introducing Ning Yue to everyone.

“This is Ning Yue from the Ning Family of Linxian City.”

“The Ning Family in Linxian City is quite renowned, just like our Li Family; they are also a longstanding Dan Dao family.”

“Alright, please take your seats…”

Then everyone sat down.

At this time, Li Tangyu spoke up and asked Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin, I’m very curious. How did you meet Miss Ning?”

Lin Jing turned his head to look at Ning Yue.

Ning Yue nodded slightly.

Then, Lin Jing turned back and said to Li Tangyu:

“Miss Ning and I were neighbors back at Fang Market.”

“And, well, if we’re being honest, Miss Ning can be considered half a master on my journey of alchemy.”

Ning Yue suddenly spoke up, saying:

“Actually, I didn’t really teach you anything.”

“It was you who helped me a lot…”

“Miss Ning is being too modest. If it weren’t for your help in fixing the alchemy manual, I fear I would have run into financial trouble early on in my alchemy career and given up on the art of alchemy.”

After finishing, Lin Jing suddenly remembered something.

Then he asked Ning Yue:

“Miss Ning, you’ve come here, so…”

“What about Luo Luo?”

“Did she not come with you?”

Ning Yue spoke up:

“Luo Luo is practicing with her master…”

“Cultivating?”

Lin Jing looked puzzled and asked Ning Yue:

“Isn’t it that Luo Luo has no spiritual root and can’t cultivate?”

Ning Yue replied, clarifying:

“Actually, we’ve been mistaken all along…”

“Turns out Luo Luo doesn’t lack a spiritual root. Instead, she possesses a hidden spirit root that isn’t usually evident.”

“That’s why we got it wrong.”

“Fortunately, we met a master who recognized Luo Luo’s hidden spirit root and accepted Luo Luo as a disciple, taking her away.”

Ning Yue said this with a tone full of satisfaction.

“Are you saying Luo Luo actually has a spiritual root and can cultivate…”

Lin Jing’s eyes widened as he spoke.

“Yes…” Ning Yue nodded.

“And the senior who took Luo Luo away mentioned that her aptitude is likely to be exceptional.”

“That’s wonderful…”

“Now Miss Ning can rest assured.”

Lin Jing felt truly happy that Luo Luo could cultivate.

The conversation between Lin Jing and Ning Yue left Li Tangyu and his sister somewhat befuddled.

Only Huang Qingling had a vague idea of what was going on, though she didn’t dare to confirm it.

“Who is Luo Luo?”

At this point, Li Qingqing asked, puzzled.

“Luo Luo is my daughter…”

Ning Yue said candidly.

However, this revelation was like an earthquake, astonishing both Li Tangyu and his sister.

“Ning… Miss Ning, you’re married?”

Li Tangyu said with disbelief, stuttering.

“And even have a child…”

Li Qingqing was just as shocked and added her comment.

“Yes…”

Ning Yue answered.

“So you’re Luo Luo’s mother…”

Huang Qingling suddenly realized.
