"Replying to Young Lord, the Third Elder has not come out since yesterday. He should be hiding from you." The child answered.
Tuoba Rui's expression did not change at all, as he asked again, "Has Zi Xiao changed since yesterday?"
"Your excellency has mobilized the Law Enforcement Hall to block the path down the mountain. Moreover, the security in the Sacred Land has increased, as if to prevent the Young Master and the young lady from leaving." The boy said again.
Tuoba Rui nodded his head: "You stay guard at the door, no matter what happens, you have to protect her well. If anything happens, inform me immediately."
The boy quickly answered.
After Tuoba Rui finished speaking, he turned around and headed towards the Longevity Hall.
At this time, Nan Mingtian was frowning in the hall, and on the table in front of him were the two storage rings.
"Master." Tuoba Rui bowed in greeting.
Nan Mingtian scoffed, "You still dare to come."
"Your disciple didn't do anything shameful, why do you not dare to come?" Tuoba Rui raised his head and looked at Nan Mingtian, his expression calm.
Nan Mingtian felt that his face was a lot more charming than yesterday, and his spirits were not only slightly improved, he was even more angry when he saw this.
Actually, it was not only him. No one, whether they understood or not, would have thought that one day, he would be this serious about a woman.
"Do you know what you have done? When your Third Martial Aunt heard that you were going to make a move against Yue Er, she wanted to seek you out for justice. If I hadn't stopped you, where would you have lived a peaceful life? " Nan Mingtian said angrily.
"There must be a solution to this matter. Master really shouldn't stop this from happening." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.
"You ?" Nan Mingtian pointed at him angrily: "What are you trying to do?"
"There's no other reason but to retrieve Xiao Ge's item and kill another person." Tuoba Rui's face did not reveal any fluctuations, his voice was cold to the point that there was no room for discussion.
Nan Mingtian roared: "Tuoba Rui, are you trying to rebel?"
"If Master is willing, Rui Er will not." Tuoba Rui said without even thinking.
"What do you mean? I won't forgive you and that calamity, so you want to rebel? " Nan Mingtian was so angry that his beard was trembling.
Tuoba Rui stared at him coldly and said, "It wasn't Bei Chenyue's idea to capture Xiao Ge, was it?"
When Hua Ruge told him about Bei Chenyue, she only said that Bei Chenyue was the main culprit.
She was afraid that the Master and disciple pair would disobey her, so if Tuoba Rui did not say it out loud, he would very likely be at a disadvantage.
However, what kind of intelligence did Tuoba Rui have? Although Hua Ruge had concealed it well, it still did not escape his eyes.
Hearing Tuoba Rui's calm question, Nan Mingtian was also stunned.
He was not surprised that Tuoba Rui knew about it, but was instead shocked at Tuoba Rui's attitude. He was too calm, and as his master, he could not figure out what he was thinking at all.
Under his gaze, Nan Mingtian actually didn't have anything to say.
"Master, you are doing this for my own good. I understand that you want to completely heal me, but at the same time, you also injured the person I love the most. I am very conflicted. Tuoba Rui revealed his thoughts to him.
Nan Mingtian frowned as he listened.
"The Sacred Grounds have only nurtured me as an heir for so many years, you won't kill me. I won't do anything to you, but I will. " Tuoba Rui paused for a moment before continuing, "Now, I shall hand over my choice to Master."
Nan Mingtian's frown deepened.
"Either expel me from the Sacred Grounds, and henceforth, we will be unrelated, or give me the ring, and not participate in my following actions." Tuoba Rui looked at the seated Nan Mingtian and said, "Choose Master."
If he were to return the ring, and no longer interfere with the following matters, it would be to show mercy to Tuoba Rui and indirectly assist him in completing the following matters.
At that time when Tuoba Rui let him go, it was still okay. After all, this was the master that had raised him since he was young.
And if he expelled Tuoba Rui from the Sacred Grounds, then Tuoba Rui would have no pressure to rebel.
Tuoba Rui was indeed giving Nan Mingtian the chance to choose.
When Nan Mingtian heard his arrogant tone, he was first angry, but then quickly let go of his anger. This was because Tuoba Rui was right, all these years, his Purple Clouds Holy Land had only nurtured one successor, he couldn't just give up.
"Tuoba Rui, you have truly let down my painstaking efforts. I had thought that you would put your experience at stake, but who would have thought that one day you would actually threaten me over a woman." Nan Mingtian sighed.
Tuoba Rui said with furrowed brows, "If Master had respected my opinion a bit, I probably wouldn't have done things to the extreme."
"You, no matter what, won't lose out." Nan Mingtian sighed again as he waved his big sleeve on the table.
The two rings on the table flew towards Tuoba Rui. Tuoba Rui took them and inspected them, then said: "Thank you Master."
"From today on, I will put all of my preparations away and go into seclusion. I will leave the situation to you, but you cannot go overboard. You should know your limits." Nan Mingtian said.
Hearing this, Tuoba Rui bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your consent."
"Don't think that your woman is anything good. How much do you know about her?" Nan Mingtian raised his eyelids and said.
Tuoba Rui did not speak, and waited for him to continue.
"That white jade ring does not look impressive, nor does it look like a magical equipment. However, I am unable to break through the barrier inside." Nan Mingtian said.
After Tuoba Rui heard this, he also frowned.
The enchantment in the storage space was set up by the person with the ring. This kind of enchantment could be easily broken when she met someone with a higher cultivation than her.
Nan Mingtian's cultivation was countless times higher than Hua Ruge, it would be weird if he could not break the barrier.
"A person who can complement your fate is definitely not an easy character to deal with. If you don't take advantage of her weakness, you won't have enough time to regret it in the future." Nan Mingtian continued.
Hearing this, Tuoba Rui's lips hooked up, "I won't do anything to her, she can become stronger, I'm happy."
Nan Mingtian was so angry that he almost couldn't come up.
Tuoba Rui bowed again and said, "Master is resting well, this disciple will take his leave."
With that, he turned around and left.
Nan Mingtian was so angry in the palace that he smashed stuff, women were everywhere, why did this brat have to choose that one!
But Tuoba Rui, who had fallen in love with Hua Ruge, was actually enjoying himself. On the way back, he kept fiddling with the ring on his hand, thinking about what Nan Mingtian had said.
But when he thought about it, he finally understood. Hua Ruge was a Element Body, if he could cultivate so fast, it would be strange if he did not have any trump cards.
He wasn't in the habit of prying into other people's privacy, so he played with it for a bit before putting it back in his sleeve.
Nan Mingtian's actions were extremely fast. On his way back, he had already seen the Law Enforcement Hall's disciples retreating.
He raised the corner of his eyebrows and said, "It's your turn!"
