âCanât you be a little more promising? Heâs the young master of the Cheng family, yet heâs afraid of a woman to this extent. â Ning haolanâs face was full of disdain.
âYou think Iâm afraid of her? If she wasnât a member of the ning family, would I have to do this? I canât hit him, I canât scold him, what can I do? If it was someone else, they would have just snapped, but could she? Even if you donât come to me for revenge, will her ancestors let me off? Unless I can also advance to reverent-god level! Otherwise, I can only hide. â Cheng Xuan said helplessly.
Ning haolan knew that Cheng Xuan was right. There were eight Supreme gods in the ning family. Excluding the ancestors, only the first and second elders were involved in the familyâs Affairs. As for the other Supreme gods, they were all in seclusion in the depths of the forbidden land. They would not come out unless there was an important matter or the familyâs survival was at stake. Among these Supreme gods, one of them happened to be a direct elder of Ning Shan âerâs line. The nings were protective of their own. It was even more vividly reflected in that person. Therefore, if something really happened to Ning Shan âer, that person would definitely not stand by and watch.
âBut, youâre always hiding like this. It wonât solve anything!â Ning haolan reminded him, feeling a headache coming on. A man who had always enjoyed playing the game was actually scared off by a woman to the point of hiding everywhere. If word of this got out, he would be a laughing stock.
âItâs better than being pestered by her. Unless she has taken a fancy to another man, I can only avoid her every time I see her.â Cheng Xuan said in a very useless manner.
At this moment, Ning Wu, who had been sent to find out news about Ning Shan âer, returned.
He bowed to ning haolan and Cheng Xuan, then slowly said,ââYoung master! The ninth young mistress is not in the main residence right now. â
âWhere did he go?â Ning haolan was a little surprised. His ninth sister should have just returned, right?
âI donât know the exact location, but I heard from the people in the ninth young ladyâs courtyard that ninth young lady came back to wash up and then dressed up to go out. It seems that she went to meet her sweetheart.â Ning Wu reported.
âArgh! Beloved? Are you sure?â Cheng Xuanâs eyes widened in disbelief.
âIâm not very sure, but there is an 80 â 90% chance that the maidservants and guards in the ninth young ladyâs courtyard all said that her heart is budding with love. â Ning Wu said, a little embarrassed. He had wanted to ask about the ninth young ladyâs situation, but who knew that the maidservants and guards in the ninth young ladyâs courtyard would gossip about this to him when they saw him. After he heard it, he felt embarrassed.
âArgh! Haha.....Iâm safe!â âHahahahaha!â Cheng Xuan exclaimed, and then burst out laughing without caring about his image.
Ning haolanâs face was filled with helplessness.
âThen, are you still afraid?â Ning haolan could not help but ask.
âTsk! She already has someone she likes who wonât pester me anymore, so why should I be afraid!â Cheng Xuan rolled his eyes at ning haolan.
âBut, this is just a rumor. You canât believe it.â Ning haolan reminded him on purpose.
âThereâs no smoke without fire!â Cheng Xuan didnât mind.
âGood luck then!â Ning haolan had nothing more to say.
âHaolan, why donât you come with me to visit Ning Shan âer when she returns and confirm her suspicions?â Cheng Xuan suggested after some thought.
âGood! Then Iâll risk my life to accompany you. â Ning haolan nodded.
âNing Wu, send someone to keep an eye on her. If the ninth young mistress comes back, immediately send someone to inform me.â Ning haolan turned around and instructed Ning Wu.
âYes!â Ning Wu nodded and turned to leave.
Cheng Xuan was in a great mood, and he pulled ning haolan to the garden to have tea and chat.
It was late at night.
When the two of them were about to go back to their rooms to rest, Ning Wu hurriedly came to report.
âYoung master! Oh no, the ninth young mistress has gone to the forbidden area in the back mountain. â Ning Wu said loudly.
âWhen did she come back?â Ning haolan quickly asked.
âShe came back less than half an hour ago. However, I heard from the guards that she went to the prison cell first before going to the forbidden area in the back mountain.â Ning Wu said.
âCould she have gone to find trouble with me?â Cheng Xuan said worriedly, sigh! He knew that woman was not easy to deal with. She had been out for the whole night and had just returned, and she was already restless.
âLetâs go take a look. â Ning haolan was worried as well. Ning Shan âer and Ning Xiâ er were different. If possible, he did not wish for Ning Shan âer and Leng ruoxue to have any conflict.
After that, the two of them looked at each other and went straight to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
As they approached, Cheng Xuan and ning haolan heard a loud slap in the middle of the quiet night. The two of them quickly walked over.
âShan âer!â Ning haolan said. At the same time, he turned to look at the Guardâs face, only to see that it was red and swollen, with a few black and blue scratch marks on it. These were clearly signs of poisoning.
âSo itâs young master big brother! Itâs so late, why arenât you resting?â Ning Shan âer asked with a proud expression.
âShan âer! Whereâs the antidote? Give it to me!â Ning haolan did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. However, he was extremely annoyed with this clan sister of his. If he could, he really did not want to have any dealings with Ning Shan âer, especially when she had to wear a fake smile on her face.
âYoung lord big brother, itâs just a small poison, thereâs no need to use an antidote!â Ning Shan âer smiled sweetly and said nonchalantly.
âCut the crap and give me the antidote!â Ning haolan suppressed his anger. A little poison? Half of the Guardâs face darkened. Was this still a little poison?
âThereâs no antidote!â Ning Shan âer said coldly.
âNo antidote? Then how dare you poison your clansmen!â Ning haolan was a little angry now, and the gentle smile on his face was replaced by a hint of anger.
âHe was the one who offended me first. I only gave him a small lesson.â Ning Shan âer did not feel that she was in the wrong. She was a young lady of the ning familyâs direct line, and a legitimate child at that. On the other hand, the other party was only a guard. No matter if it was identity or status, they could not compare to her.
âDid you offend the ninth young mistress?â Hearing Ning Shan âerâs words, ning haolan turned to look at the guard.
âNinth young mistress wants to enter the forbidden area. I donât dare to let her in.â The guard said bluntly. His words were also very clear. He had been beaten and poisoned by the ninth young mistress because he had done his duty. The poison might not have killed him, but half of his face had lost feeling.
âShan âer! Donât you know what kind of place the forbidden area is? How can we force our way in?â Ning haolan asked unhappily with a straight face. The ning familyâs forbidden area was off limits to anyone, not even the acting Master, unless they had the permission of the old ancestor, let alone Ning Shan âer.
âI know! However, since even an outsider can live in the forbidden area, why canât I, as a direct descendant of the ning family, go in?â Ning Shan âer roared in jealousy. Her beautiful face was red from anger, and her beautiful eyes were even more dazzling in the night.
âIs the outsider that ninth young mistress is referring to the first elder of the craftsmenâs Guild?â Suddenly, Cheng Xuan said with a faint smile.
