Ning haolanâs heart began to burn with anger at the Guardâs words. He knew that Ning Wen was most likely involved in this matter, but why would Ning Wen use his name to retrieve the soul? Could it be that someone in the clan was forcing him? And who would have the guts to force his attendant to do such a thing? He really didnât want to live anymore!
âIt seems that young master ningâs attendant has fled for fear of punishment.â After Leng ruoxue heard the Guardâs words, she spoke indifferently.
âDonât worry, miss Leng. Iâll send someone to find Ning Wen. â Ning haolan consoled.
âWhat about Ning Shan? And how will ning Duan be dealt with?â Leng ruoxue did not care about Ning Wenâs whereabouts, but she could not let Ning Shan lie on the bed like this.
âMiss Leng, thereâs no antidote for the soul-forgetting pill. As for ning Duan, I can only send people to keep an eye on him before the matter is investigated. However, I canât disqualify him from the competition. â Ning haolan said with some difficulty. Ning Duanâs senior was an elder in the clan, so unless there was sufficient evidence, he could not disqualify ning Duan from the competition, nor could he punish him.
âI understand. What about Ning Shan?â Even though Leng ruoxue was a little disappointed by ning haolanâs words, she knew very well what he was thinking. He was thinking that there was not enough evidence. Hence, it would be difficult to deal with ning Duan. She could put ning Duan aside for now, but she could not do the same to Ning Shan. Therefore, she needed an explanation from ning haolan. Otherwise, she would have to look for her Godfather.
âNing Shan ⦠The family will send people to take care of him in the future. With me around, I wonât let anyone bully him.â Ning haolan said after some thought. He knew that Leng ruoxue might not be satisfied with what he had said, but he had no better idea because there was no antidote for the forgotten soul.
âHe has hands and feet, he doesnât need anyone to take care of him.â Leng ruoxue said, slightly annoyed.
âMiss Leng, there is no antidote for the soul-forgetting pill. Moreover, after taking the soul-forgetting pill, it will turn a normal person into a fool. So, it will be very difficult for him to leave peopleâs side in the future.â Ning haolan explained patiently.
âI want the formula for soul-forgetting,â Leng ruoxue said coldly. Even though ning haolan had said that there was no antidote for the forgotten soul, she still wanted to try and see if she could concoct an antidote. She did not want Ning Shan to turn into an idiot and did not believe that there was no antidote. After all, everything had its counter. The lack of an antidote could only mean that it had not been concocted yet, but it did not mean that it did not exist.
âThe formula for soul-forgetting is a secret of the ning family. We wonât give it to anyone.â Ning haolan said helplessly.
âNot to anyone?â Leng ruoxue repeated. Then, she walked to Ning Haiâs side and whispered a few words into his ear before leaving the guest room.
After Leng ruoxue left, Cheng Xuan looked at ning haolan curiously and asked,ââGuess what she said to Ning Shanâs brother?â
âWhy are you so gossipy?â Ning haolan rolled his eyes at Cheng Xuan and said unhappily. Actually, he didnât need to guess to know that Leng ruoxue had probably consoled Ning Hai and was now looking for the old ancestor.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHehe! Iâm just curious!â Cheng Xuan didnât think much of it and said with a smile.
âCuriosity killed the cat! Just mind your own business, the ning familyâs joke isnât that good. â Ning haolan warned.
âWhat, could it be that you want to silence me?â Cheng Xuanâs handsome face was full of provocation, not taking ning haolanâs words seriously at all.
âItâs hard to say,â Ning haolan left the guest room as well.
âHey! Wait for me, please!â Seeing ning haolan leave, Cheng Xuan quickly chased after him.
On the way back to the competition grounds, Cheng Xuan pestered ning haolan again,ââSomething happened in the first match, how can you still be in the mood to go back and watch the game? I think you should quickly find the person who framed you and prove your innocence. â
âDidnât I already send people to look for him? If I canât find Ning Wen, thereâs no point in me worrying. Besides, Iâm not the one who asked Ning Wen to retrieve the forgotten soul. â Ning haolanâs expression was nonchalant.
âWhatâs the point of saying that you didnât ask Ning Wen to get it? If someone really wants to take advantage of this matter, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths. Letâs see what you can do then. â Cheng Xuan said gloomily, sigh! Was this considered as the eunuch being anxious when the Emperor was not? Compared to the person in question, he seemed a little unsettled!
âThere are so many clansmen in the ning family, not all of them are blind. Besides, thereâs still the old forefather! What am I afraid of! Letâs go! Letâs continue watching the match! If thereâs another one who poisoned it, weâll deal with them as well. â Ning haolan said with a smile.
âYou wish. One is already enough to give you a headache. If thereâs another one, the ning family will be in chaos!â Cheng Xuan said with a look of disdain. After he finished speaking, the two of them walked into the arena. Even after the competition had ended, they did not see Leng ruoxue.
LAN garden.
Late at night three days later.
Cheng Xuan sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, counting the stars in the sky out of boredom. He would sigh at the calm ning haolan from time to time, but after the nth time, the latter finally spoke up.
âYouâve been sighing the entire night. What do you want?â Ning haolan was a little speechless. Actually, he knew very well why Cheng Xuan was sighing, but he didnât really want to respond to him, so he could only play dumb.
âLeng ruoxue is missing, the competition is suspended, and Ning Wen is still missing. Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?â Cheng Xuan said gloomily. He had thought that he would be able to watch a good show, but who knew that Leng ruoxue had not appeared again after she left that day. There was no progress in the poisoning incident either. Furthermore, the ning familyâs old ancestor had ordered a temporary suspension of the competition. He really did not know what that old man was up to. He was so curious that it was as if a cat lived in his heart, scratching his heart and liver every day.
âWhat else do you want to do if you donât stay?â Ning haolan asked with a faint smile. Although the old ancestor did not ask about the poisoning incident, he had ordered the competition to be suspended. The meaning behind it was self-evident. He knew very well that this was all because of Leng ruoxue. He didnât expect her to have such a position in the old ancestorâs heart. He was a little jealous!
âGo and test your old ancestorâs words! Letâs see what heâs going to do? When will the competition resume?!â Cheng Xuan suggested, but his words caught ning haolanâs attention.
âYoung master Cheng, this seems to be my familyâs competition, right? Weâre not in a hurry, so why are you? What was the saying again? Oh! Thatâs right, donât be a busybody! Do you want to be a dog?â Ning haolan could not help but tease.
âIf youâre really too bored, I can send a message to your ancestor and tell him that youâre at my house! How is it?â Ning haolan suggested.
âYou dare! If you dare to betray me, I will not let you off!â Cheng Xuanâs expression changed as he glared at ning haolan.
âThen, how long do you plan to hide?â Ning haolan raised an eyebrow. The main reason why Cheng Xuan had returned to the ning family with him was to avoid the pursuit of the old ancestor of the Cheng family. That old man had nothing better to do, so he had ideas about the marriage of his junior. Cheng Xuan had been so scared that he didnât even dare to return home.
