Chapter 211: Wind and rain come
"Didn't I tell you, can I read minds? However, I can guess what you were thinking just now, even if I don't have to read it. Leng Ruoxue teased with a faint smile.
"This can only show that the two of us are in the same heart!" The demon said with a little pride.
"Look at your beauty!" Leng Ruoxue was a little speechless.
"I'm proud, proud." The demon cheekily said.
Just as the two were teasing each other, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, followed by anxious footsteps walking in the direction of the garden...
"Miss Leng!" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
"Ning Yan! What are you doing here? Leng Ruoxue looked this uninvited guest up and down when she heard this, and saw Ning Yan's body dusty, and his face was haggard. What's going on? She was puzzled in her heart, it stands to reason that cultivators pay great attention to their appearance, and few cultivators are so raunchy, and Ning Yan in her impression is a person who pays a lot of attention to appearance, so she really can't guess what is wrong with Ning Yan.
"Miss Leng! Something happened! Ning Yan said a little eagerly, and after speaking, he coughed fiercely a few times.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, speak slowly! Leng Ruoxue motioned to the grapes next to her to pour a glass of water for Ning Yan and reassured.
"The head of the family and some of the elders of our Ning family are missing." Ning Yan said with a sad face.
"Missing? How did the godfather go missing? Godfather's strength has few opponents in the god realm. After listening to Ning Yan's words, Leng Ruoxue still asked very calmly, after all, in her impression, the godfather was not an irresponsible and worrying person, so she never believed that the godfather would disappear for no reason.
"Alas! I don't want to believe that the head of the family and some of the elders are missing, but we can't contact them by all means, and besides, some of the elders have already died, and their life jade tablets have been shattered, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid we wouldn't have found out about the disappearance of the head of the family and others. Ning Yan explained.
"Godfather won't disappear for no reason, did he disappear in the Ning family, or did he go somewhere?" Leng Ruoxue asked again.
"The head of the family took some of the elders of the Ning family to a newly discovered secret realm, and if nothing else, he should have disappeared there." Ning Yan replied.
"Secret realm? What secrets? Leng Ruoxue's face was suspicious, and now as long as she heard the word secret realm, she had a premonition.
"That secret realm is newly discovered, and very few people know about it now, and it is only known to the high-level leaders of our eight major god domains and several major associations, so it is extremely secret." Ning Yan continued.
"And how did you find out?" Leng Ruoxue was curious.
"This secret realm was discovered by the Wen family first, and then informed us of the eight major divine domains and several major associations, and later, the people of the eight major divine domains and several major associations discussed that they would go to the secret realm together to explore." Ning Yan said a little helplessly, in fact, before going to that secret realm, the Ning family also had two opinions, one was in favor, and the other was naturally disagreeing to go, after all, the danger of an unknown secret realm was conceivable, but later, considering that it was going with the powerhouses in the eight god domains, and the two largest and most powerful general associations in the god realm, the Instrument Master Association and the Dan Master Association, would also send people there, so they reached a unified opinion, but what they didn't expect was that something happened in the end.
"Will the Wen family be so kind?" Leng Ruoxue half-squinted her beautiful eyes and said with some doubts.
"The Wen family dares to tell the high-level leaders of the Eight Great Divine Domains and several major associations about this, they should not dare to deceive people, otherwise, they will definitely become public enemies of the Divine Realm, and they will have no place in the Divine Realm." Ning Yan was very sure, and this was also the main reason why people who knew the secret realm dared to believe in the Wen family.
"So, you regard the disappearance of the godfather and the elders of the Ning family as an accident?" Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows lightly and asked lightly.
"It's a secret place that hasn't been discovered yet, and unless it's someone who has been there in person, we don't know what's there, so now we can only see the disappearance of the head of the family and others as an accident." Ning Yan sighed lightly and said.
"Ning Yan, do you remember the secret realm of the Snow Mountain a few years ago? It's also a secret place that has never been discovered, but the accident there is man-made. Leng Ruoxue reminded.
"Miss Leng means that this accident is also man-made?" Ning Yan's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, a few years ago, in the secret realm of the Snow Mountain, although he stayed in the Ning family and did not participate in it personally, he had also heard about it, but the people who were deceived into the secret realm of the Snow Mountain that time were all cultivators with low cultivation, and this time, almost the powerhouses of the entire God Realm went there, including many Dan masters and masters of the Dan Master Association, such a strength, I am afraid that it is not easy to cause a human accident, right?
"I don't know if it's a man-made accident, but as long as I hear the word secret realm, I have an uncomfortable feeling, and I always feel that this secret realm that appears out of thin air is not so simple." Leng Ruoxue said calmly, more importantly, she didn't believe in the head of the Wen family, maybe the godfather and others thought that the head of the Wen family would not dare to deceive them, or they were too confident in their own strength, and they went to the secret realm with him with the idea that they were not afraid even if they were deceived, but no matter what it was, she didn't agree with it.
"Miss Leng, the head of the family also once suspected that this secret realm was not simple, but..." Ning Yan had just spoken, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Leng Ruoxue.
"Still, he went, didn't he? Does the godfather feel that his strength is there, even if there is danger, he is not afraid, and self-protection is not a problem. Leng Ruoxue said clearly.
"Yes." Ning Yan said in a low voice, alas! was guessed by Miss Leng, it seems that Miss Leng really knows the head of the family.
"The Great Elder of the Instrument Master Guild has also gone!" Leng Ruoxue asked with a faint smile.
"Yes! Basically, all the heads of the Eight Great Divine Domains went, and the major general associations also sent a lot of people there, and the Instrument Master General Association was led by the Great Elder himself. Ning Yan said.
"In this way, the godfather is even more afraid of any conspiracy, otherwise, he would not be so relieved to follow." Leng Ruoxue sighed lightly and said.
"Yes! Moreover, the head of the family also took away some of the elders. Ning Yan nodded.
"You just said that some of the elders have died?" Leng Ruoxue thought for a while.
"Hmmm! There have already been two elders who have had accidents one after the other. Ning Yan said with a sad face.
"What is the strength of those two elders?" Leng Ruoxue asked again.
"Among the elders brought by the head of the family, they are the weakest." Ning Yan replied truthfully, although he didn't quite understand Leng Ruoxue's intention to ask.
"In this way, there are only two possibilities now, one is that they are in real danger, and everyone's situation is very critical, and the other is that they are in danger, but it is not enough to kill them immediately, they are just trapped inside, as for the dead elders, if they are not killed by the enemy, they want to report to you in this way, but it is not ruled out that this is a conspiracy of the enemy." Leng Ruoxue analyzed, anyway, no matter what their purpose was, now that the Ning family already knew that someone was dead, therefore, the Ning family would definitely try their best to figure out this matter, or send people to that secret realm, if the other party wanted to use this method to attract more people to go, I have to say that their goal was achieved.
"Miss Leng! So what now? After listening to Leng Ruoxue's analysis, Ning Yan became even more worried.
"How did your Ning family decide?" Leng Ruoxue didn't answer and asked, although she was very worried about the whereabouts of her godfather, but after all, her godfather was the ancestor of the Ning family, and those old people of the Ning family might not be willing to let her participate in this kind of thing, who let her strength be here! How could the Ning family trust her.
"The Council of Elders has decided to send another group of people to the secret realm." Ning Yan said truthfully.
"Oh! Ning Yan, you came to me on your own initiative! Leng Ruoxue said knowingly.
"The young master and I both have this idea, and the acting family master also agreed, but the rest of the Ning family did not agree, so I sneaked out." Ning Yan said with some embarrassment.
"You're going to have to sneak out? Who is in charge of the Ning family now? Leng Ruoxue asked a little puzzled, as far as she knew, although Ning Yan was the chief steward of the Ning family's forbidden land, his status in the Ning family was not lower than those elders, except for the ten elders of the Ning family, the other elders had to be polite when they saw him, after all, he was a popular person around the ancestor, and no one could offend him.
"It's the Third Elder!" Rather tell the truth.
"Three Elders? Hasn't the old man been in retreat? When did it come out? Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but ask, the Ning family has a total of ten elders with transcendent status, the big elder often drills into the deep mountains and old forests, and the Ning family can hardly see his shadow, therefore, the Ning family's elder council has always been the second elder's family, however, since the second elder was removed from the position of elder by the godfather, the elder council has been a little leaderless, and he and the seventh elder and others were handed over to her by the godfather, so the number of elders in the Ning Elder Council is even less pitiful, as for the other ten elders, In addition to not knowing which corner of the Great Elder is in, the others are all in the forbidden place, and including these three elders, but I didn't expect that now this old man is out of the customs and takes care of the affairs of the Ning family, and even the acting head and young master of the Ning family were thrown aside by him, hmm! That's not a good sign!
Because she hadn't seen these three elders, Leng Ruoxue didn't want to evaluate the intentions of the three elders, but it was still a little inappropriate for the elders to openly replace the head of the family and the young master to meddle in the daily affairs of the Ning family.
"The third elder has already been out of the customs, if I guessed correctly, someone should have informed him of the news, he knew that something had happened to the family, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to end the retreat for no reason." Ning Yan guessed.
"Then he's very much in favor of sending people to that secret realm?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a smile.
"Hmmm! It was he who insisted that he must send someone to the secret realm, and he said that he couldn't let the Ning family die unclear, and he couldn't let the head of the family disappear like this. Ning Yan confessed.
"Oh! Except for the Ning family's elders who died, did anyone from the other families die? Leng Ruoxue asked her concerns.
"There are also elders of the Cheng family who have died, as for whether anyone from other families and the general association has died, I haven't heard of it when I came to the Continent of God." Ning Yan said.
"Oh!" Leng Ruoxue nodded, and then thought deeply. Although there were also people who died in the secret realm of the Snow Mountain a few years ago, compared to this time, the strength of those people was much lower, and among the elders who died, the lowest strength probably had to be the God Emperor, so it can be seen that the danger of this secret realm can be imagined.
Although she didn't know what the three elders thought in their hearts, if it was her, she wouldn't be sending people, you know, the godfather is trapped in it, so even if there are many people, I'm afraid it's just meat buns and dogs, and there is no return! Therefore, it was really not a wise decision to send someone to the secret realm again. Thinking of this, she spoke again: "Ning Yan, thank you for your hard work, I will first order someone to take you to the room for a good rest, and we will discuss this matter later!" β
βhaodeοΌβ Ning Yan nodded, and then left the garden with the lotus seeds.
After Ning Yan left, Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to the demon and asked, "Demon, what do you think about this matter?" β
"Cher! Do you want to hear the truth? The demon asked with a faint smile.
"Of course!" Leng Ruoxue pretended to be displeased and pouted lightly, a little angry and demonic, she didn't want to listen to the truth, could it be that she still wanted to listen to lies?
"Cher! How can a secret realm be discovered so easily? The real secret realm is all given by nature and formed naturally, and the formation of a secret realm is not a real secret realm without hundreds of thousands of years or even longer. The demon said softly.
"And in just a few years, a secret realm has been discovered on the Continent of God, and now there is another secret realm in the Divine Realm, if the secret realm can be discovered so frequently, then the secret realm is not a big radish?" The demon added.
"In that case, you also suspect that there is something wrong with this secret realm!" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
"It's not a problem, it's a big problem!" The demon said with great certainty, now he is a little angry with the old man of the Ning family, relying on his high strength, he is so disregarding the danger, and he has to let Xue'er worry about him! How unreasonable! Hum! When he finds the old man, he must teach the old man a lesson, otherwise, it will be difficult to dispel his anger.
"Alas! Knowing that there is a problem, we can't help it! Who let the godfather be in it! I can't leave him alone! Leng Ruoxue said pitifully, her beautiful eyes still peeked at the demon from time to time, observing the look on his face.
"Huh! Do you think I'm going to stop you from going? Although I really don't want you to take the risk, I know you, if you don't let you go, maybe you will sneak away behind my back, in that case, it is better for me to go with you! With me, I can protect you. The demon said helplessly, and his expression was full of spoiling.
He knows Xue'er and knows that Xue'er attaches great importance to family affection, although the old man is just a godfather, but the old man really loves Xue'er, and Xue'er also regards him as a real relative, how can Xue'er not save his relatives when his relatives are in trouble? If Xue'er didn't have the 'Qiankun Bracelet', he might not be so relieved, but with the bracelet in his hand, no matter what kind of sword mountain and sea of fire there is, Xue'er will not be in much danger.
"Demons! You're so nice! You have to protect me! After listening to the words of the demon, Leng Ruoxue took the initiative to throw herself into her arms and said coquettishly, and her initiative made the demon very useful.
The demon hugged Xue'er with satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh, the benefits that make Xue'er satisfied are really good! Hey! In the future, he will have to do more such things to please Cher, so that his benefits will roll in.
After the two reached a consensus, the next day, Leng Ruoxue gathered everyone in the living room to discuss the matter.
In the living room, the elders of the Ning family looked at Leng Ruoxue with some puzzlement, wondering what she had done when she asked herself and the others to come? However, Leng Ruoxue didn't speak, and they wouldn't take the initiative to ask, so the atmosphere was dull for a while.
Half a day.
Leng Ruoxue spoke slowly, in fact, she didn't speak, because she didn't know how to talk to them about it.
"Something happened to the Ning family." Leng Ruoxue said softly, and after speaking, her beautiful eyes stared at the elders present, observing their reactions.
"What?"
"You're saying it again?"
The faces of the elders changed dramatically, and they all thought that they had misheard.
"Something happened to the Ning family! The whereabouts of the godfather and others are unknown, and the Ning family also lost two elders. Leng Ruoxue said again, this time, she said more clearly.
"It can't be! The Old Ancestor had few opponents in the God Realm, and it was absolutely impossible for him to disappear! Don't tease us! How can such a thing be a joke! The second elder roared a little angrily, his face turned red with excitement, but he wouldn't believe Leng Ruoxue's words!
"I'm not kidding, this thing is true, Ning Yan said it himself, unless you doubt his words." Leng Ruoxue raised her face and said with a little displeasure, today is not April Fool's Day, she is in the mood to make fun of these old men!
"Miss Leng is not joking." At this time, Ning Yan, who happened to walk in from outside, hurriedly said after hearing their conversation.
"Ning Yan! How did you get here? You..."The second elder was even more excited when he saw Ning Yan, but he didn't dare to ask anymore after only half of the words, because he was afraid that he would hear bad news from Ning Yan's mouth, which could be regarded as his self-deception!
"Second Elder, something happened to the Ning family, the head of the family and others have disappeared, and two elders have died, I am here to inform you of this news." Ning Yan explained, the look on his face was still a little haggard.
So, is this true? How so? After hearing this, the second elder was shocked, and his face instantly turned pale, and when Ning Yan saw this, he said what he had said to Leng Ruoxue yesterday to the elders again.
When the elders heard this, they were silent for a long time.
After a long time, the second elder spoke with a trembling voice: "Family master! No! The head of the house and the elders will be fine. β
"That's right! With the head of the house, they will be fine! Isn't the life jade plate of the head of the family okay haode? They will be safe. The elders who were also a little struck by the second elder hurriedly echoed after hearing the words of the second elder.
"The head of the house! You can't be fine! Suddenly, some of the elders began to cry loudly, and the other elders who were holding on were all red, and tears were already rolling in their eyes.
"Calm down, y'all! Now that the godfather is just missing, who will you show you to just like this! Leng Ruoxue couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted angrily, now that the godfather hasn't really had an accident, they look like a group of dragons without a leader, it's really infuriating! Moreover, she came to them to discuss things, not to see them crying.
Leng Ruoxue's words made many elders ashamed and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, although they also wanted to calm down and didn't want to be so embarrassed, but this was all because the head of the family had an unusual meaning to them! In addition to being the ancestor of their Ning family, the head of the Ning family is also the pillar and backbone of their Ning family, they can't imagine what it would be like if the Ning family didn't have an ancestor. Therefore, when they heard that the old ancestor was missing, the only feeling in their hearts was panic.
"I called you here to discuss with you what to do with this matter! Now, the Ning family has three elders in charge, and he has decided to send someone to the secret realm to find out, I want to hear your opinions. Leng Ruoxue saw that they slowly calmed down, and only then did she say her main purpose.
"Go! We're going to the secret realm too! We need to save the head of the family and the other elders! As soon as Leng Ruoxue's words fell, an elder immediately said.
"Rescue the godfather? Can you do it? Leng Ruoxue said with a look of contempt, as soon as she heard this, she knew that this was a person who had no opinions, and her mind was not clear enough, to put it bluntly, this was a person who liked to coax and follow the crowd.
"Why can't we? The lowest strength of our people is the God Emperor, and if we can't save the family master, others will have no chance. The man was very unconvinced.
"However, Godfather's strength is above you, he has also disappeared in the secret realm, if you go, won't you also go to death?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful face was full of mockery.
"If you are all trapped in it, then the Ning family really has no hope, is this the result you want to see? Or are you not enough to see your godfather disappear, and you still want to him off to death? Leng Ruoxue added unceremoniously.
"So what do you say?" The elder who spoke was a little angry, Nima! It's not okay to go, it's not okay not to go, isn't it a dilemma!
"Little girl, do you have any good ideas?" The second elder also looked at Leng Ruoxue with a look of hope and asked.
"Second Elder! You also have the same idea as the three elders, do you want to go to the secret realm to find out for yourself? Leng Ruoxue asked rhetorically.
"This... I have that idea, but, as you said, our strength is not as good as the head of the family, he has lost a trace in it, if we also go in, it will be the same as for nothing! So, I can't make up my mind now. The second chief said honestly.
"Second Elder! Since you want to listen to my advice, then I tell you that my opinion is that none of you should go there! Leng Ruoxue proposed, as for her opinion, whether these people will adopt it, it is not for her to decide.
"Not going? So what can we do? You can't just watch something happen to your clansmen, right? The second elder said with a worried expression.
"What is going on in that secret realm, no one knows yet, whether the dead elder committed suicide or killed him, it is impossible to know, but no matter what the reason, the Ning family can't mess with itself, so the more times like this, the more you should stay in the family, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy." Leng Ruoxue is calm and calm.
"You mean, it's possible a conspiracy?" When the second elder heard Leng Ruoxue's words, he immediately understood, but if it was really as Leng Ruoxue said, this matter was completely a conspiracy against their Ning family or all the top shili in the God Realm, then how ambitious the person who planned this matter was!
"I'm not sure if it's a conspiracy, but I don't know if the second elder still remembers the secret realm of the Snow Mountain a few years ago, when many families on the Continent of God fell into it, and that was a conspiracy." Leng Ruoxue reminded.
"I've heard about that, too, but haven't you found the main messenger behind it? Could it be that the person behind these two secret realms is the same person? The second elder said in shock, he remembered very well that the head of the family attached great importance to that matter, and even after returning to the Ning family, his face was ugly, although at that time they wanted to know what happened to make the head of the family so out of shape, but no one dared to ask.
"I'm just skeptical, not sure." Leng Ruoxue sighed lightly and said, if the person behind these two secret realms is really the same person, then what is his purpose?
"Second Elder! If the people behind these two secret realms are really the same person, then you can't go there, think about it, godfather can't take that secret realm, what's the use of you going? To put it mildly, if the godfather can protect himself, you will drag him back if you go. After thinking about it, Leng Ruoxue said very politely.
"But if we don't do anything, just wait at home, we'll be crazy with worry." The second elder said with a tangled expression.
"You're not just waiting at home, you're guarding the Ning family's base camp, understand?" Leng Ruoxue corrected.
"I understand! However, we have to send some people to explore the situation in the secret realm, right? Otherwise, we won't be reassured. The second elder whispered, and when he said this, he was obviously a little lacking in confidence.
"Second Elder! If the news can be transmitted in the secret realm, the godfather and the others will not disappear for no reason, so I think it is useless for you to send someone there, but it will make more Ning family trapped in it, so the best way is for you to be calm and don't get bored, and then move. Leng Ruoxue hated the way that iron does not become steel.
"And it's not like no one has gone to that secret realm to find out." Leng Ruoxue said with a smile again.
"Ugh! Didn't you say, "Don't let us go?" The Second Elder was a little confused.
