Chapter 169: The Game Continues
Ning Haoqian raised his eyes with satisfaction, looked at the situation he had created, and sat down in his own position, Ning Duan's parents saw this, and heard the words of some of the elders, so they naturally didn't dare to entangle Ning Haoqian before catching up, but they wanted them to give up if they hadn't seen their son, which also made them a little unwilling.
Thinking of this, Ning Duan's parents cast a pleading glance at Elder Nineteen, Elder Nineteen originally wanted to pretend not to see it, but who knew that Ning Duan's mother was afraid that he would leave it alone, so she simply knelt down in front of him and cried: "Ancestor, you have to be the master of my family!" It's been so many days, and Duan'er doesn't know whether to live or die. She kept crying as she spoke, and the nineteen elders who watched it were very upset.
The nineteen elders who originally wanted to ignore it, seeing that the juniors in his own lineage had said it so clearly, if he was pretending to be confused, it was not just a matter of him letting go, it was also related to the face he cared about the most, so he had to come up with this head because of his feelings.
"On behalf of the head of the family, although the actions of these two children are a little rude, however, they will do this because of the heart of their son, and I hope that the head of the family and the elders will understand." The nineteenth elder stood up and said to Ning Yuan and the elders with a helpless expression, he can be regarded as a salute before the soldiers, stand up first and admit his mistake for them, presumably the young master and the acting family master and others will not hold them because of this matter in the future.
However, after he said this, no one accosted him, and many people seemed to be waiting for his words, seeing this, Elder Nineteen couldn't help but curse in his heart, 'What a bunch of old foxes!' ā
"On behalf of the head of the family, they haven't seen Duan'er for a while, since Duan'er is still only suspicious, can they let them meet Shangduan'er first?" Elder Nineteen continued in a consultative tone.
Ning Yuan listened to the words of the Nineteenth Elder, but did not immediately agree, but turned his gaze to Ning Haoqi, the meaning was obvious, he wanted to ask for his opinion, after all, Ning Duan was someone he sent to take care of it.
"Want to see Ning Duan? I'm okay with that. Ning Haoqian picked up the tea on the table and said lightly.
"What do you elders mean?" Ning Yuan looked at the elders present again and said.
"We don't have an opinion, it's normal for parents to want to see their son, how can we stop it!" The second elder looked around and spoke on behalf of the elders.
Seeing that there was no objection, Ning Haoqian called his personal attendant and instructed him to bring Ning Duan to the council hall.
There were originally two attendants beside him, one was Ning Wen who ran away, and the other was Ning Wu, this Wen and Wu just made up a pair of partners, and they were also one of his henchmen, but unfortunately, Ning Wen betrayed him, which couldn't help but make him a little melancholy, so in recent days, he was also a little lukewarm towards Ning Wu, Ning Wu knew that his master was angry, but he was helpless, but as long as the master was still willing to use him, he would do his best.
Therefore, although he didn't know what his master was doing in the past few days, he had been paying attention to the Ning family's turmoil for his master, so after receiving Ning Hao's instructions, he immediately went to the Yan Garden and took Ning Duan to the council hall, and on the way, he also told Ning Duan to be careful about his words.
As soon as Ning Duan stepped into the conference hall, his parents immediately rushed towards him, looking at this jiashi, Ning Duan couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Ning Haoqian, however, Ning Haoqian didn't move like a mountain, and he didn't raise his eyelids, which couldn't help but make him feel bitter in his heart, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.
"Duan'er! My mother finally saw you, are you okay? Is there suffering? Ning Duan's mother looked her baby son up and down, and kept shushing and asking for warmth.
"Mother! I'm fine, don't worry! Ning Duan's liver trembled, for fear that his father and mother would say something that he shouldn't say.
"Really good?" Ning Duan's father was a little unconvinced, and his eyes kept sweeping over his son, he was such a son!
"Daddy, mother! I'm really good, except for not being free, eating and sleeping well! Ning Duan wanted to cry without tears, he didn't dare to tell anyone that he had been abused, woo... Those women were really terrifying, as long as he thought of everything he had endured in those days, his liver trembled non-stop, and his legs and stomach were a little weak, the experience of those days was a nightmare for him, and he couldn't get rid of it, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, Ning Haoqian was now his master.
"That's good! That's good! Ning Duan's parents were finally relieved.
At this time, Ning Haoqian also finished drinking the tea, and slowly spoke: "You have also seen people, now you can rest assured, right?" ā
"Relieved." Ning Duan's parents hurriedly stiffened their heads, and there was still some drumming in their hearts, before their commotion was mainly to see their son, but now that people have seen it, the reason for the fuss is naturally gone, but they are a little scared, because they are afraid that Ning Haoqian will come to settle accounts in the autumn.
"Since you are relieved, then I will also tell you about the future arrangements! This time, I am bound to find out, so Ning Duan can't let it go now, however, I won't lock him up, he will follow me for the time being, as for you, not only question my decision, but also make a lot of noise in the council hall, this has violated the clan rules of our Ning family, and now I will punish you to go to Bian Cheng to work for a year, of course, if you behave haode, you can also pardon your punishment in advance. Ning Haoqian whispered his decision, and as soon as he said this, Ning Duan's parents immediately wilted like frosted eggplants, although Ning Duan felt sorry for his parents, but he didn't have the courage to intercede for his parents, who let himself be a substitute now!
"Young master! Although what they did was a little inappropriate, it was also out of love for their sons, and it was too much to punish them to work in Bian Cheng for a year? Elder Nineteen couldn't help but speak.
This couple is the offspring of his lineage, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog! Therefore, in his opinion, Ning Haoqian sent his descendants to Bian Cheng, which was clearly slapping him in the face and not giving him face, you know, Bian Cheng is not a good place, not to mention the remoteness, and the living environment is extremely bad, but it is the place of exile for their Ning family to punish the errant clansmen, and at the same time, the Ning family also has two spar mines there, so after they are assigned there, in addition to adapting to the climate there, they also have to work in the mine for a year, such a punishment is for the direct clansmen, It's already heavy.
However, he didn't want to tear his face with Ning Haoqian because of this matter, so although he was dissatisfied, his tone of voice was still relatively gentle.
"It's only been a year, can't they stand this bit of suffering? Nineteen Elders, the family has family laws, and the clan has clan rules, if they are not punished to go to Bian Cheng to work for a year, could it be that the Nineteen Elders have a more Haode punishment method? Ning Haoqian said with a smile.
"Ugh!" The nineteenth elder was choked and speechless, what good way could he do, his method Ning Haoqian would not agree, but let him watch his juniors being sent to Bian Cheng to suffer and suffer, he was a little unwilling, thinking of this, he secretly looked around at the elders sitting there, wanting them to help him talk, but those elders didn't look at him at all, and even the elders who usually made friends with him obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter, which couldn't help but make him a little angry, but he was helplessAfter all, he couldn't have offended the elders present because of his two descendants.
Seeing that the Nineteenth Elder stopped talking, Ning Yuan said with a final word: "Since there is no objection, then according to what the young master said, send them to Bian Cheng to work for a year." ā
After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he ordered the guards to take Ning Duan's parents down, Ning Duan watched his parents being taken away, although he was a little sad in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
After the farce in the council hall was over, Ning Haoqian took Ning Duan back to the Yuanyuan.
In Ning Hao's study.
He sat on the chair and looked at the panicked Ning Duan, and said with a light smile: "What, do you want to intercede for your parents?" ā
"IāI don't dare! The punishment given to them by the master is already light. Ning Duan lowered his head and whispered.
"Do you really think so?" Ning Haoqian asked lightly.
"Hmmm! I have no resentment about the master's punishment. Ning Duan hurriedly said, in fact, he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, who let his life and death be in the hands of others!
"Ning Duan! I want you to understand that if my parents don't punish them, how will I serve the public in the future? However, since you are my person now, I will naturally take care of your parents, I will inform the steward over there in Bian Cheng, and ask them to arrange some light jobs for your parents, and the year will pass soon, and if they behave well, I will also let them return to the main city early. Ning Haoqian assured that he was slapping a sweet date, mainly to appease Ning Duan's heart and make him loyal to himself.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Ning Duan listened to Ning Haoyan's words, and was really happy.
"The hosts! Just now in the council chamber, you weishenme won't let me tell the truth? After his parents' affairs were reassured, Ning Duan couldn't help but ask.
"It's not the time yet." Ning Haoqian sighed lightly and said.
"The hosts! Fifth Miss She..."Ning Duan just said half a sentence, and immediately stopped, originally he wanted to say, Fifth Miss is the master's sister, the master is very difficult! However, it suddenly occurred to him that the relationship between the master and the fifth lady was not good, and even to a certain extent, the master was quite disgusted with this sister, although this was not a secret in the Ning family, but no one dared to chew the root of his tongue in front of the master.
"Don't mention her, I will send someone to send your parents to Bian Cheng in two days, I will give you a holiday in the past two days, you go and accompany them!" Ning Haoqian thought for a while.
"Thank you, master!" Ning Duan was overjoyed when he heard that he could stay with his parents for two days, and after saluting Ning Haoqi, he withdrew from the study.
Looking at Ning Duan's back, he couldn't help but think of the song hummed by the Dark Tiger King who lived in Leng Ruoxue's house, 'A child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a grass', now he is deeply touched, maybe Ning Duan's status is not as high as his, but Ning Duan has the love of his parents, and he has been alone since he was a child, if it is not for the love of his ancestors, it is difficult to say whether he can grow up safely.
Putting away his sadness, Ning Hao walked out of the study and walked towards the garden.
At this time, there was only Cheng Xuan in the garden, I saw him sitting on a stone chair, and the stone table in front of him was full of all kinds of delicacies, and he was eating wildly regardless of his image.
"If your admirers see that their idols are like this, I wonder if they will regret it." Ning Haoqian quipped, and then sat down opposite Cheng Xuan.
"Who has the time to care what they think!" Cheng Xuan said disapprerovingly, and he was still holding a big chicken leg in his hand and gnawing wildly.
"What about Leng Ruoxue?" Ning Haoqian saw that Cheng Xuan was the only one around, so he couldn't help but ask.
"They went back." Cheng Xuan said while eating.
"Oh!" Ning Haoqian nodded, he didn't know Weishenme, seeing that Leng Ruoxue was not there, he actually felt a little lost.
"You're done with it?" Not feeling Ning Haoyan's strange appearance, Cheng Xuan asked again.
"Well, it's okay already." Ning Haoqian nodded.
"By the way, your unconscious sister, what are you going to do?" Cheng Xuan asked with some curiosity.
"What else can I do, of course, according to the clan rules." Ning Haoqian said truthfully.
"I mean, if you want to deal with Ning Xi'er, I'm afraid you'll get some resistance." Cheng Xuan said, he is a bystander, and he is friends with Ning Haoqi, so he naturally has to think more for him.
"You mean uncle?" Ning Haoqian has a headache, it is really difficult to deal with the uncle, over the years, if it weren't for him who spoiled Ning Xi'er, just a little concubine, where could he show off his might in the main mansion of the Ning family.
"He's one thing! However, if he knew about Ning Xi'er's past behavior, he was afraid that he would be disappointed, and the resistance I was referring to was mainly those old antiques of your Ning family, they should not let Ning Xi'er go like a chess piece. Cheng Xuan said clearly, in a family like theirs, unless it is a highly talented woman, otherwise, women are just pawns for marriage for the family, not to mention, Ning Xi'er still has a superb beauty, even if she makes a mistake, in the eyes of some people, he is afraid that she will not be easily disposed of, but he knows very well that the vast gap is bound to cause Ning Xi'er to die, not just because she has done something wrong.
"Thank you for reminding me, but this time, I will definitely not let Ning Xi'er have a chance to turn over." Ning Haoqian said coldly, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now that he had such an opportunity, how could he let it go easily.
"If there is Leng Ruoxue's help, Ning Xi'er will definitely not be able to escape." Cheng Xuan said with a wicked smile.
"I understand! She shouldn't let Ning Xi'er go. Ning Haoqian nodded.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.
After Leng Ruoxue left the garden, she did not go back to her residence, but went directly to the guest room where Ning Shan was, but she saw an unexpected person in the guest room, Ning Yan.
However, Ning Yan didn't feel any surprise when she saw Leng Ruoxue, the two nodded lightly, and then, Leng Ruoxue took out a black pill and handed it to Ning Hai, who was guarding the bedside.
Ning Hai took the pill and stuffed it into Ning Shan's mouth without thinking about it, and then, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Ning Shan on the bed tightly, he didn't ask Ruoxue what pill he gave him, because he believed that Ruoxue would not harm Ning Shan.
And Ning Shan's situation is also a little different from Ning Duan, because Ning Shan has always been very quiet, except for eating and sleeping every day, he is not noisy or noisy, he does not drool, and he rarely speaks, but from his clear eyes, he can see a trace of something wrong, because Ning Shan is always very confused.
"Have you refined the antidote to the soul-forgetting?" Ning Yan came to Leng Ruoxue's side and asked softly.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded, and after that, she raised her beautiful eyes to look at Ning Yan.
Ning Yan is a famous tigress in the God Realm, she looks like she is in her early thirties, her appearance is very beautiful, her body is even hotter and sexy, and her current strength has also reached the level of a divine master, she has seen Ning Yan on the Continent of God before, however, she didn't look too carefully at that time, and at that time, what she heard the most was about Ning Yan's reputation, and later, she heard that she killed her husband by domestic violence, and other than that, she really didn't know anything about this Ning Yan.
However, the daughter who can get the godfather's love must have something extraordinary, and she will not comment on Ning Yan's reputation, after all, if hearsay is too serious, isn't it no different from a fool? There are some things that you have to see to believ.
"My sister is really amazing, I often hear my father mention you, and the number of times he talks about you in my ear makes me a little jealous!" Ning Yan complimented, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Godfather's love is Ruoxue's blessing." Leng Ruoxue said very politely, she is still a little unsure of Ning Yan's intentions, so there is no way to deal with it, so she can only block it with soldiers and cover it with water.
"My sister is really likeable, and it's normal for my father to like you." Ning Yan said with a smile.
Her words made Leng Ruoxue a little unsure of how to answer, and it just so happened that at this time, Ning Shan woke up, which could be regarded as relieving Leng Ruoxue.
"Brother! Sister Ruoxue, what's wrong with me? Where is this? Am I not in the race? Ning Shan was still a little confused when he saw the unfamiliar environment he was in.
"Mountain! You're wounded, and we're still in the house. A smile tugged at the corner of Ning Hai's mouth and explained.
"What about the game? Do I still have a chance? Ning Shan had no impression of what happened after he was injured, so he was a little anxious.
"Don't worry! The game has been suspended. At this time, Ning Yan spoke.
"Big, Miss! Why are you here? Seeing Ning Yan, Ning Shan couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"If Sister Xue can be here, why can't I be here?" Leng Yan feigned anger.
"Ugh!" Ning Shan was a little embarrassed, could he say that he was familiar with Sister Ruoxue, but not with Ning Yan? What's more, Ning Yan is the eldest lady of the Ning family, and she has always been a high-ranking figure in his heart, and although Sister Ruoxue is also the goddaughter of the ancestor, he still feels very kind.
"Mountain! Your injury is just right, don't think too much about it, there is still a chance for the game. Leng Ruoxue saw Ning Shan's embarrassment and diverted the topic for him.
"Hmmm! I'm not going to be careless. Ning Shan said a little shyly.
"Don't think about that, your task now is to rest." Leng Ruoxue said with a half-order, and after that, she told Ning Shan again, then got up and said goodbye, and Ning Yan actually left with her.
Leng Ruoxue took the grapes and lotus seeds out of the yard, and was about to part ways with Ning Yan, but before she could speak, Ning Yan said first: "I just want to see my father, let's go with you!" ā
After listening to Ning Yan's words, Leng Ruoxue couldn't refuse, so she had to nod, but she was a little depressed in her heart, because she couldn't understand what this eldest lady of the Ning family wanted to do, why did she get entangled with her? However, she could also see that Ning Yan had no ill will towards her, so naturally she didn't think of using mind reading to examine Ning Yan's heart.
The two walked side by side in the front, Ning Yan had nothing to say from time to time, and Leng Ruoxue was asking and answering, if Ning Yan didn't ask, she would definitely not take the initiative to speak, just like that, she slowly walked to the forbidden place in the back mountain.
When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard of the head of the Ning family, Leng Ruoxue didn't plan to go in with Ning Yan, but Ning Yan seemed to see her thoughts, so she took the initiative to invite: "Sister Ruoxue and I will go to see my father together!" If he knew that you had refined the antidote to forgetting souls, he would be very happy. ā
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded reluctantly, and then, Ning Yan took her arm and pulled her into the courtyard of the head of the Ning family.
As soon as they walked into the garden, they saw the head of the Ning family and the great elder sitting on the stone chair in the garden playing chess, Ning Yan hurriedly shouted, "Dad! We've come to see you. ā
Hearing Ning Yan's voice, the head of the Ning family raised his head, but when he saw Leng Ruoxue next to Ning Yan, his face immediately smiled! "Xue'er girl, you finally came out, how is the antidote to the forgotten soul refined?"
"Daddy! Don't you see my presence? Don't be so fond of the new and hate the old, okay! Ning Yan saw that she was ignored by her father Hongguoguo, and said angrily and funny, of course, a little jealous.
"See! How could I not see Yan'er! The head of the Ning family said with some embarrassment, in fact, his attention was really all on Xue'er.
Leng Ruoxue next to her listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, trying her best to reduce her sense of existence, she didn't want to treat herself as an imaginary enemy because of Ning Yan's jealousy, you know, a woman's jealousy is unreasonable.
However, the head of the Ning family obviously didn't intend to let her go, and after dealing with Ning Yan, he looked at Leng Ruoxue expectantly: "Xue'er! You haven't answered me yet! ā
"Godfather! I have already refined the antidote to forgetting souls, and I have also taken it for Ning Shan. Leng Ruoxue replied helplessly.
"Really? O Cher! You're not kidding me! It's only been refined in a few days? The head of the Ning family said with a look of disbelief, and the Great Elder's face was full of incredulous expressions.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded, and handed the head of the Ning family a bottle of the Soul Forgetting Antidote that he had refined.
"Godfather! You can find someone to try the effect, I'll go back and rest first. After Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, she turned around and left.
And the head of the Ning family listened to her words, and couldn't wait to call Ning Yan, and told him to go to the prison to mention a prisoner who had taken the soul forgetting, after a try, the head of the Ning family was pleasantly surprised, you must know that this antidote to the soul forgetting, the great elder has been developing it for a long time and there is no recent exhibition, and now it has been refined by his goddaughter, he is honored!
After seeing the effect, he immediately went to find Leng Ruoxue.
Leng Ruoxue didn't expect her godfather to find the door so quickly, and she was helpless.
"Cher! Can you give me a copy of the recipe for this elixir of forgetting souls? The head of the Ning family said with some embarrassment.
"Godfather! Isn't this soulless soul often used by your Ning family on the clansmen who make mistakes? What does it matter if there is an antidote or not? Leng Ruoxue was a little puzzled.
"That's the case, but since the antidote to forgetting the soul has been refined, then our Ning family naturally has to keep a copy." The head of the Ning family explained.
"Oh!" Leng Ruoxue understood, it turned out that the godfather wanted to keep the archive! Knowing her godfather's intentions, Leng Ruoxue took out the recipe for the soul-forgetting antidote and handed it to the head of the Ning family.
The head of the Ning family glanced at the formula in his hand, and received the storage ring, and then said, "Xue'er, since Ning Shan is fine, the family competition will continue to start in three days." ā
"However, the poisoning has not yet been investigated." Leng Ruoxue reminded.
"It doesn't matter, the game can be carried out normally, and the poisoning matter must continue to be investigated, and there will be no delay." The head of the Ning family said disapprerovingly.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue bowed, although she didn't know if Ning Haoqian had mentioned Ning Duan's confession to her godfather, but since Ning Shan's injury had been cured, and Ning Haoqian was investigating the poisoning, she naturally didn't need to worry.
For the next three days, Leng Ruoxue stayed at home, but Ning Yan became a frequent visitor to her place, basically, Ning Yan would come to report every afternoon, and then dragged her to talk about it, chatting all over the world, and said that she wanted to be her guide and take her to familiarize herself with the Ning family's divine domain.
Leng Ruoxue couldn't refuse, so she had to delay the time.
And Ning Yan seemed to be very serious, and said that when the family competition was over, he would take her to the Ning family's Divine Domain.
Three days later.
The family competition, which had been suspended for a while, started again as scheduled.
Because Ning Shan and Ning Duan had an accident in the last game, after discussing with the head of the family and the elders of the family, it was decided that their game would be rematched, and the others would be normal.
After Grape and Lotus Seed learned the news, they were very indignant, because they felt that this was unfair to Ning Shan, and that Ning Duan had obviously done something wrong, and he had not been punished by the family, and he even asked him to compare again, which was really unreasonable! They felt aggrieved for Ning Shan, and they also regretted that they had repaired Ning Duan too little when they were in the cave.
Sitting in the audience seat of the No. 3 venue, Leng Ruoxue looked at the pouting grapes and lotus seeds, and said with a smile: "What, are you still angry?" ā
