In the capital, as a princess, it was not difficult for Ning Xuan to find someone.
Although it was only a brief moment, this person left a deep impression on Ning Xuan.
"He must not be an ordinary person."
Ning Xuan pondered the identity of this person in her heart, and walked back with the goldfish lantern in her hand.
He doesn't have any accessories on his body, so it's hard to tell the difference, but the material he wears is not like ordinary materials on the market, it looks like... Liuyun silver brocade? No, the fabric was under the candlelight, and the dark patterns were faintly flowing, more like the mackerel that the royal father gave to Concubine Ling.
Sharks are things of immortals. A piece of shackle the size of a handkerchief can already sell for sky-high prices in the mortal world. Even Concubine Ling's piece of shackle can only be regarded as a longer handkerchief. Every inch is extremely precious, not to mention. Is it for making clothes?
Is he a fairy? Ning Xuan raised the goldfish lantern in her hand. Could it be that the immortal thought she couldn't pay the bill, so she paid the goldfish lantern for her?
Because of his short appearance, Ning Xuan was so amazed by his appearance that she didn't even have time to say thank you. But if he is an immortal, I am afraid she will never have the chance to meet him again.
The legendary immortals will not favor a certain mortal, they will only love the world equally, so they will definitely not stay in the mortal world.
This was the first time Ning Xuan had met an immortal, and she also received a gift from an immortal. Today was really a good day, although she didn't get to see the national teacher.
After Ning Xuan came back, she told the three people left behind in the box about this little episode.
"The 'immortal' you said is prettier than his cousin?"
In the Prince's impression, among the people he knew, there was only one person who fit Ning Xuan's description, but this person... the Prince's expression changed. Get weird.
Ning Xuan handed the goldfish lantern to the maid and asked her to take good care of it. She would have to bring the lantern back to the palace later.
"It's not a question of whether it's good or bad. Brother Huang, I mean, don't you think it's strange that there are immortals in Ningguo? Immortals generally only deal with matters related to the devil world. Now that the three worlds have been peaceful for many years, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no magic cultivators. I want to be detrimental to the human world."
Ning Xuan looked at Duan Yunkuo, who was sitting calmly drinking tea, and tapped her index finger in front of him,
"Yunkuo, you are well-informed, are there any rumors from the spirit guard?"
The Spiritual Guard only works for the royal family, and has only been responsible for the royal family since its establishment, but now that the emperor is getting weaker and weaker, he has handed over part of the authority to the prince, so that the prince can also try to contact the Spiritual Guard while studying with the national teacher. , but the emperor did not disclose the matter to the public, so the person who told the prince the information fell on Duan Yunkuo, who had not yet joined the Detective Spirit Guard.
Although Duan Yunkuo is not yet a member of the Spirit Detective Guard, this is a sure thing.
"Magic cultivator?"
Duan Yunkuo extracted key information from Ning Xuan's words and looked at the prince.
He obviously knew something.
Fu Nanxing, who was sitting by the side, didn't think there was anything that Ning Xuan should not know about this, so he said bluntly:
"There was a village massacre at the junction of Ningguo and the northern border. It was suspected to be the work of a magic cultivator. Now it belongs to the northern border and is not under our control of Ningguo. Someone fled to the border of Ningguo to ask for help, and only then did the news come out."
The prince held the empty teacup, rubbed the edge of the teacup with his index finger, and looked up at the people who were listening intently to what they were saying. Ning Xuan.
In their table, the youngest is Ning Xuan, and the oldest is not yet eighteen, but time waits for no one, there are not many people around him that he can trust, and the most trustworthy people are all here.
"Actually, in the entire Tianyuan Continent, only Ning Country is the most peaceful. According to historical records, the birth of a devil's womb is once every five hundred years, and the birth of the devil is the world-destroying devil.
Every birth of a devil's womb is a disaster for mortals. The last demon fetus has already died under the hands of Xianzun Chenghuai, and in the five hundred years after the appearance of the next demon, the demon cultivators will not wait for the appearance of the demon, and their methods of increasing their power are based on killing. , even with the protection of immortals, but..."
When the prince said this, he frowned and didn't say any more.
When Ning Xuan was taking the Immortal Realm history class, although she was very sleepy, she worked hard after class and studied hard in order to get a good grade in the final assessment. After a little thought, she immediately made up what the prince didn't say.
"But the celestial apparatus of the immortal world has been destroyed, and it is difficult for the immortal world to respond quickly to the invasion of the human world by the magic cultivator. Moreover, the immortal world is not as separate from the human world as it used to be. Now the immortals are far away from the mortal world, and only the mortals ask for them.
Before the national teacher came to Ningguo, Ningguo also set up a special department to ask the immortals for help. This department was the predecessor of the Spirit Guard Intelligence Department.
Ning Xuan wanted to understand,
"Apart from Ning Guo, there are other places where magic cultivators are at work?"
Except for summer vacations and hunting activities every year, she has hardly ever been out of the capital, and things other than Ning Guo basically come from books and books. From the mouth of others, it is really not clear what the outside world is like.
"There is no demon cultivator in Ningguo, because there is a national teacher."
The prince is also very clear about the current situation. Once Ning Guo loses the national teacher, he will have to face the evil cultivator. Immortals far away from the world send messages, and it is too late for anything.
Duan Yunkuo nodded, agreeing with what the prince said. He had read through all the past scrolls of the Detective Spirit Guard Intelligence Department, and the rule was that after the national teacher came to Ning, there were no more demon cultivators who dared to set foot in Ning.
Fu Nanxing waved to the maids and servants who were serving in the room, and motioned them to go out. There were only three of them left in the box.
Ning Xuan realized that she needed to concentrate on listening to the next conversation, so she straightened her back and waited for the next paragraph.
"Xuanxuan, what do you think?" the prince asked without end.
He did not treat Ning Xuan as an ordinary twelve-year-old girl.
Ning Xuan combined their conversations above, magic cultivators, national teachers, Ning Guo, the outside world...
If you want Ning Guo to be stable, the biggest threat now is not the invasion of foreign countries, but the invasion of magic cultivators. Xiu was too busy to take care of himself, and as long as Ning Guo had a national teacher, the demon cultivator would not dare to attack.
"I won't pin the safety of a country on someone. The national teacher is powerful and can protect Ningguo, but what if there is no national teacher? If he is a mortal, then the mortal life will end one day. If he is an immortal , he has done enough for Ning Guo, what will he do when the cause and effect is settled? What will Ning Guo do?"
Ning Xuan's curiosity about the national teacher stems from this, and no one knows where the national teacher comes from. , and why he chose Zhongningguo, no one has ever asked, for fear of making him unhappy and losing this powerful protection from now on.
The three people sitting across from Ning Xuan frowned at her words.
It just so happened that the fireworks outside began to bloom, and each cluster of fireworks was beautiful. The voices of the people below were full of people.
The silence in the box was terrifying.
Ning Xuan raised her head to look at the fireworks that were constantly blooming outside. That immature face had a maturity that should not belong to her age.
In the palace, although she is the emperor's most favored princess, she is also a thorn in the eyes of many people.
Before she could remember, her mother fell ill and died because of "accidentally ingesting" a certain drug. Later, it was found out that it was an unfavorable concubine of the emperor. Even if she was treated with severe punishment, her mother's life would be restored not coming.
Losing her mother's constant care, Ning Xuan had experienced this kind of frame-up several times, but fortunately, she escaped every single time.
After that, she enrolled in Bei'an Academy, and Ning Xuan's schoolwork increased, so she lived in the dormitory of Bei'an Academy with her classmates. She only returned to the palace on fixed days, but avoided the internal struggle.
The masters of Bei'an Academy come from all over the Tianyuan Continent. As long as he is a talented person, regardless of his original identity, as long as he passes the examination, he can become a master who teaches and educates people.
Moreover, the academy puts students first. As long as it is a course that students are interested in, even if there is no master in this course, as long as the student submits an application, the academy will have a special person to invite a professional master to teach the students.
From the famous celebrities of the previous dynasty, down to the artists in the street market, it is possible to become the master of Bei'an Academy.
The more books Ning Xuan has read and the more things she has experienced, the more mature her thinking will become, and her vision will not be limited to the present.
She said: "Born in distress, and died in peace. Now the situation in Ningguo seems to only have the inner worries of the prince and the throne, but standing in our position, there are more important issues to consider. The master once said that for the common people, , they don't care who the reigning emperor is. Many people have never even set foot in the country in their lives, let alone meet the Holy One. Their life safety and living environment are what they urgently need to be guaranteed."
The prince's eyes darkened . After Shen, he looked left and right at the expressions of the other two, and when he saw that they were no different, he felt a little more at ease.
Ning Xuan's words were very direct, and it might be disrespectful to take out a sentence and put it out, but she believed in them, and they were worthy of her trust.
Duan Yunkuo didn't even drink tea, and just stared at Ning Xuan with those bright eyes.
"Well said."
Fu Nanxing looked at Ning Xuan approvingly. She was indeed the princess of their Ning Kingdom and the pride of Bei'an Academy.
He stood up, walked to Ning Xuan's side, patted her on the shoulder, raised a smile, and said,
"My grandfather said that we can't fight unprepared battles. We can't put all our hopes on the national teacher. If there is such a day, can we have any way to prevent the demon cultivator from attacking?"
Fu Nanxing hinted at them with his eyes.
Duan Yunkuo and the prince looked at each other, and felt that it was time to include Ning Xuan in the plan.
"At the beginning of the establishment of the Detective Spirit Guard, it was announced that there were only eight departments in total. In fact, it also had a secret department, which was dedicated to dealing with demons.
Most of the members were extraordinary people, including demons, half-demons, and mortals The mixed blood of immortals.
Not long ago, the members of the nine groups sent back a secret letter at the edge of the northern border, saying that they had found the fragments of the Predictive Star Instrument." Duan Yunkuo said.
The Precognition Star Instrument is a major test site in the history of the Immortal Realm, because it is the only artifact in the Three Realms, which has the function of predicting the future and warning the Immortal Realm.
If there is a foreshadowing star, they can respond in advance.
"They won't use the fragments of the Precognition Star Instrument, and hope to give the fragments to the National Teacher. But the formation has been set up in Ningguo, the members of the nine groups will feel uncomfortable when they enter Ningguo, and the National Teacher can't easily leave the capital, so we need to be worthwhile. Someone you trust will bring the pieces back."
The prince set his eyes on Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan met his gaze.
A splendid fireworks bloomed in the air, gorgeous and beautiful.
"I will live up to my trust." Ning Xuan stood up and saluted.
