Chapter 163: Provocation
Ning Yuan looked at Ning Hao's back, and his heart was mixed, not a taste! Alas! This nephew doesn't know who he is with, not only stubborn and indifferent, but also never gets too close to his own people, and even his only sister doesn't like it, although this sister is half-sister, but after all, it's his own sister, he still hopes that their brother and sister can support each other, but unfortunately, this can only become his own luxury.
In fact, he can be the head of this generation, and even their lineage can stand out from many clansmen, all because Ning Haoqian has been looked at differently by his ancestors, and he, the generation head of the family, is also to escort Haoqi, therefore, he desperately hopes that the clansmen of his lineage can be united, at least not to drag Hao's hind legs, and a few years have passed, their lineage is also elite, and he is also quite pleased with this, but what he has never been able to let go of is that the relationship between the brothers and sisters of Haolang, however, He knows very well that this kind of thing can't be rushed, after all, this is a bad debt of the previous generation, and it is impossible to calculate it.
After Ning Haoqian left the council hall, he went directly back to his residence.
Walking into the courtyard, he saw a handsome boy in white who was sitting under the moon drinking tea with a leisurely face, and an attendant standing respectfully not far away.
"You're on the loose." Ning Haoqian smiled lightly, walked to the opposite side of the white-clothed boy and sat down.
"Or else?" The man in white, who was as elegant as a fairy, raised his sword eyebrows lightly and smiled evilly.
"Cheng Xuan, has anyone told you, don't laugh casually, it looks very flat." Ning Hao's eyes whitened the man in white, and said very seriously, this guy is really a disaster! From time to time, which woman can stand such a smile? Fortunately, he is not a woman, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have died to him a long time ago.
"Nope!" The man in white, that is, Cheng Xuan in Ning Hao's mouth, smiled even more heartily, not only that, but he kept throwing charming eyes at Ning Haoqian, and Ning Haoqian felt a chill when he saw it, and the hairs on his body were about to stand up.
"You're laughing at me, I'm going to beat you." Ning Haoqian couldn't bear it, he once again doubted whether it was right or wrong for him to bring this amorous guy back? If he had come to seduce with a pure heart, wouldn't the women of his own clan have suffered?
"Beat me... Are you willing? Cheng Xuan deliberately paused before laughing at Mimi.
"Can't you try it?" Ning Haoqian listened to Cheng Xuan's words, gritted his teeth and said, this guy is so hateful, he even teased him!
"You don't have to try to know, you can't bear to beat me." Cheng Xuan said a little narcissistically, his handsome face seemed to be a little flushed, and his lowered eyes peeked at Ning Haoqian from time to time, showing a shy admirer just right.
However, he seemed to see the appearance of his sweetheart, but it made Ning Haoqian feel a little disgusted and wanted to vomit, Nima! Although he is not close to women, he is not interested in men, right? Moreover, what is even more infuriating is that he knows that this guy is pretending to disgust himself, but he has no way to take Cheng Xuan, because Cheng Xuan is cunning! He wouldn't stand still stupidly and let him beat him, and the strength of the two was almost the same, so even if he beat Cheng Xuan, he wouldn't be able to get anything good.
Since this is the case, he naturally won't waste his efforts, but seeing Cheng Xuan angry again, he glared at Cheng Xuan for a while before he stood up and walked towards his room without looking back, no matter how Cheng Xuan called him from behind, he didn't hear it.
Looking at Ning Haoqi's back, Cheng Xuan was thoughtful, hmm! This guy can't be really angry, right? Isn't he such a stingy person? Anyway, let's coax him tomorrow! After all, he still has to live in the Ning family for a while, so he can't annoy Ning Haoqi.
With this plan, the next day, Cheng Xuan knocked on Ning Hao's door.
Ning Haoqian, who was about to freshen up, saw that it was Cheng Xuan who knocked on the door, and was stunned before he spoke: "Why are you here?" His face was full of doubts, why did this guy get up so early, hmm! Probably no good!
"I miss you, come and see you." Cheng Xuan said with a smile.
"Ugh!" Cheng Xuan's words made Ning Haoqian unconsciously shake the goosebumps that fell on his body, and the hairs on his body stood up, and he stared at him vigilantly: "What the hell are you doing?" ”
"I'm not the hell!" Cheng Xuan looked aggrieved, his beautiful eyes blinked, his long eyelashes drooped, and he didn't look so cute.
"Then what are you doing in my room early in the morning?" Ning Haoqian asked a little helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that the two had known each other since childhood, and knew that Cheng Xuan was a real man, he would really suspect that Cheng Xuan was dressed as a man.
"Didn't I say I miss you?" Cheng Xuan's eyes widened, and he stared at Ning Haoqian in disbelief, with that focused expression, Ning Haoqian was furious when he saw it.
"What do you want me to do?" Ning Haoqian gritted his teeth and asked hatefully, Nima! Don't talk so ambiguously, he's really not interested in men.
"Of course I like you, who have you ever seen who would like someone I don't like!" Cheng Xuan said with a look of disgust.
"I don't like you, don't think about me!" Ning Haoqian couldn't help but yell, he felt that he was about to be driven crazy by this guy, so in the morning, he actually came to talk crazy to him, this guy must be crazy too.
"Might! How can you do this to me! Cheng Xuan looked at Ning Haoqian with resentment on his face, and his clear and beautiful eyes were rippling, as if there was a mist surging.
"I'm going to see my ancestor." Seeing Cheng Xuan's appearance, Ning Haoqian took a deep breath and kept warning himself to be calm and not to be affected by this mentally abnormal guy, because he was afraid that he would beat Cheng Xuan uncontrollably.
After speaking, he ignored Cheng Xuan, opened the door and left the room directly.
Seeing his own young master standing in the room in a daze, Cheng Xuan's attendant couldn't help but persuade: "Young master! One day, Master Ning will understand your mind. Although he does not approve of same-sex love, as long as the young master likes it, he firmly supports it to the end.
"Hmm!" Cheng Xuan nodded.
At this time, Cheng Xuan thought that what his attendant said was that Ning Haoqian would understand that he was coaxing him, but how did he know that they were talking about chickens and ducks at all, and what they said was not the same thing, but what he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for a scandal between him and Ning Haoqian to spread...
After Ning Haoqian went to the forbidden land of Houshan, he didn't see the old ancestor who was not in a good mood, so he had to go back to the garden in a huff, and within two days, the family competition of the Ning family officially began.
On the day of the competition, Grape knocked on her door as Leng Ruoxue instructed.
"Miss! The Ning family's family competition began. Walking into the room, Grape whispered.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue, who was sitting in the chair, nodded in response, then stood up and left the room with the grapes.
"Miss! The head of the Ning family has been wanting to see you for the past few days. Grape walked as she walked, although Miss didn't tell her what she was doing in the room these days, but she knew very well that Miss was definitely not angry, Miss was so busy, so there was time to sulk!
"And what did you say?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a smile.
"Tell me the truth! Miss has told no one to disturb, how dare we not listen, but the head of the Ning family thinks that you are angry with him, and he has been very uneasy for the past few days. Grape said zuihou, and couldn't help laughing, because he suddenly remembered the uneasy appearance of the head of the Ning family, hmm! It's so funny.
Leng Ruoxue listened to the description of the grapes, and was in a good mood! In fact, she has been grinding her gun for the past few days, and she didn't tell the grapes what she was doing, she also wanted to teach her godfather a lesson, who made her godfather want to watch a good show, how can she do it without paying a price?
After walking for a while, the three of them came to the residence of the head of the Ning family, who at this time was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly circling in circles in the courtyard.
"Godfather!" Leng Ruoxue saw the appearance of the head of the Ning family, and shouted with a chuckle.
"Xue'er is a bad girl!" When the head of the Ning family heard Leng Ruoxue's voice, he quickly turned around and looked at her with a resentful expression.
"Cher! What have you been doing these days? The Great Elder beside the Ning Family Master couldn't help but ask.
"I'm cultivating." Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile.
"Bad girl, you don't say a word to us when you cultivate, which makes us worry in our hearts." The head of the Ning family complained.
"Hey, hey! Godfather! Actually, I also made an improvisation, and I didn't know about grapes and lotus seeds. Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
"Girl! How have you been cultivating these past few days? Nothing is wrong, right? The Great Elder asked with concern, the aura of the God Realm is not so easy to absorb, however, this little pervert cannot be regarded as common sense, so even if Leng Ruoxue cultivates in the God Realm, he is not surprised.
"It's okay, no problem." Leng Ruoxue chuckled.
"Bad girl, your strength is too low now, it's better to absorb less aura in the god realm." The head of the Ning family advised that although the aura in the main house and the forbidden land was purified, it was not as gentle as that on the Divine Continent, so he was very afraid that Leng Ruoxue would have even the slightest discomfort, after all, they couldn't stare at her when cultivating, and if something really happened, he was afraid that it would be too late.
"Well, actually, I cultivated in the house sent by the Great Elder, so you should put one hundred and twenty hearts!" Leng Ruoxue reassured.
"That's good!" The head of the Ning family and the Great Elder said with confidence.
"Godfather! When are we going to the playing field? Leng Ruoxue said with some eagerness, the Ning family has a lot of geniuses, and it seems that they can feast their eyes this time.
"Go now!" Seeing that Leng Ruoxue was so eager, the head of the Ning family also became happy.
Just when everyone was about to go to the competition venue, a soft and glutinous voice suddenly came from Leng Ruoxue's heart: "Sister! I'm going to see it too! ”
This voice came from the little white tiger who stayed in the house, although they were in the house, but they also knew everything about the outside world, and when they heard that there was a game, the young little white tiger became curious.
"I'll see it too." Another milky voice came.
"Good! You all see. Leng Ruoxue said helplessly, she really couldn't refuse the request of these two cute little things, and with a change of heart, she transferred them out of the house.
Seeing the two small hair balls, one black and one white, that suddenly appeared in Leng Ruoxue's arms, although the head of the Ning family and the eldest elder were stunned, they did not show too much surprise, because they had already heard that there was a tiger couple and two babies who came with Leng Ruoxue this time.
The two small hairballs in Leng Ruoxue's arms are less than the size of a palm, fat and simple, they look very cute, and the two old men who look at them are itching in their hearts.
"Girl, give me a hug." Without waiting for the head of the Ning family to speak, the eldest elder preemptively said, the longer they lived, the more they liked these young and simple babies, so these two little tigers who were born not long ago aroused their love at once, and the two of them also knew about the fact that they almost died at the beginning, so they had a little more pity for these two cute little guys.
"Good!" Leng Ruoxue handed over the little hair ball in her arms to the hands of the Great Elder, she knew that the Great Elder liked children, if it weren't for the fact that the baby and Qiuqiu were also in retreat, she was afraid that she would be held in their arms again.
"Hey, hey! What a cute little guy. The Great Elder held two round little hair balls in his arms, touched this, looked at that, and his heart softened into a puddle of water, and the two little ones didn't recognize life, happily rolling in the arms of the Great Elder, and kept selling cuteness.
The head of the Ning family was greedy, and without saying a word, he directly hugged the little black tiger into his arms, and talked to the little guy very kindly.
"Cher, don't these two little ones have names?" The head of the Ning family was rare for a while before asking.
"Name? Not really. Leng Ruoxue thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart, these two little guys had been born for so long, and they had forgotten to name them.
"Huh! Since you don't have a name, then grandpa will give you one, hmm! It's called Xiao Hei. After the head of the Ning family finished speaking, he looked up at the Great Elder and Leng Ruoxue very proudly.
"Then you will be called Xiaobai!" Not to be outdone, the Great Elder said in his heart, if you take a little black, I will be called Xiao Bai, and everyone will save trouble together!
"Ugh!" Leng Ruoxue listened to the names taken by the two of them, and couldn't help but slide down a few black sheets on her forehead, and said secretly, Godfather and the Great Elder are lazy enough, originally she thought that they would give the two little guys a nice name! Who knew that it would be called according to the color of the person, is this her usual method? This is the infringement of Hongguoguo!
In fact, what she didn't know was that the reason why the head of the Ning family would take such a simple name was also because he had too many descendants, and at the beginning, he would seriously think about the name, but as soon as he had many children, he became numb, so that the descendants born later had their names casually, as for the great elder, he was also a lazy person who came how to save trouble, and it was even more difficult to let him seriously think of a name than to ascend to the sky! In the words of the Great Elder, the name is just a code name, and it doesn't matter what it is called.
"Godfather, Great Elder! Both Black and White have beasts screaming. Leng Ruoxue sighed lightly and reminded reluctantly.
"That's it! Then this little guy is called Xiao Xiao Hei, so that he knows who he is calling. The head of the Ning family thought for a second before saying.
"Then you will be called Xiaoxiaobai!" The Great Elder said happily.
In this way, the names of the two little tigers were decided, and Leng Ruoxue didn't want to argue with them, alas! That's it! The name was just a code name, and she couldn't help but comfort herself.
After naming the two little guys, Leng Ruoxue and the others set off for the competition venue.
The competition venue for the family competition was arranged in the training ground of the main house of the Ning family, and there were a total of five training venues in the main house of the Ning family.
And the three elders who were in charge of the family competition, after communicating with the head of the Ning family, arranged a main venue, and four sub-venues came out, and the main venue was naturally located in the largest training ground of the Ning family.
In addition, the five training grounds of the Ning family are not very far away, so the rostrum is set in the main venue, and the sub-venue only has three judges' seats and part of the audience seats, however, because the initial stage is only the preliminary round, therefore, the five venues are played at the same time, and in the middle and late stages of the game, all the games are played on the main venue.
Leng Ruoxue followed the head of the Ning family directly into the VIP seat of the main venue, and the audience at this time was already full of people, because it was an internal competition, therefore, almost all of the people who came to watch the game were the Ning family, and there were many people who were also going to play, but it was not their turn yet, although they were clansmen, but they also had to know each other, after all, such a game directly determined their future, so not only the direct clansmen, but even the Ning family members of the side line, were also holding back their strength and wanted to stand out in the game. You know, such an opportunity is too rare for them.
"Cher! Do you want to go to Bibi too? Looking at the energetic and high-spirited descendants, the head of the Ning family was pleased, so he came up with Leng Ruoxue's idea, in fact, he did this to see the gap between his descendants and Leng Ruoxue, after all, in his eyes, Xue'er was stronger than his descendants in all aspects, except for his low strength.
"Godfather! I have already agreed to Miss Five's challenge. Leng Ruoxue reminded with a faint smile, and the meaning of her words was also very clear, but the head of the Ning family pretended to be stupid.
"These are two different things! It doesn't get in the way. The head of the Ning family said with a smile.
"Godfather! I'm only a mid-level god, so I'm self-aware. Leng Ruoxue said again.
Alas! This little girl is too cunning, but, seeing that she really doesn't want to participate, the head of the Ning family didn't continue to be reluctant, in fact, he knows very well that what this girl decides, it is useless for others to be reluctant, she is not a person who will change her mind easily, therefore, he had to pin his hopes on the competition between her and Ning Xi'er, but that competition was arranged by him in Zuihou, woo... We'll have to wait a long time.
After a while, the game officially began, because it was only a preliminary round, so the highlights of the game were not very many, the slightly stronger ones were basically one move to determine the winner, and the strength was the same, and there were no more than a hundred moves, after all, the Ning family's game was never a decisive one, so they did not have the need to fight, however, it was precisely because the initial stage of the game was relatively easy, therefore, people who were a little relaxed had the opportunity to gossip.
The rostrum of the main venue is divided into two parts, one part is the VIP seat, and those who are qualified to sit here are basically people with the status of elders or above, and Leng Ruoxue, who is sitting among them, is definitely an outlier, because she only has the strength of an intermediate god, but it is the head of the Ning family who took her to sit here, so even if others have opinions, they can only hold it in their hearts and dare not say it at all.
The other part of the rostrum, located on the opposite side of the VIP seat, this south and north just happens to be the most haode position in the main venue, however, here is not any Ning family member is qualified to sit, but anyone who can sit here is a clansman who has a certain status in the Ning family, or even a more favored person.
And Ning Xi'er, the fifth lady of the Ning family, who challenged Leng Ruoxue, was also arranged to sit here, but she sat in the middle of the daughters of the Ning family, but she was quite restless.
"Why was Aunt Yan arranged to sit here? I thought you'd sit with your ancestors! Jealously glaring at Leng Ruoxue sitting in the VIP seat, Ning Xi'er said in a weird way, but her words did not get a response from Ning Yan.
"Aunt Yan is the ancestor's favorite daughter, how can the ancestor treat Aunt Yan like this!" Ning Xi'er said unevenly.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Ning Yan stroked her eyelids lightly and asked lightly, although she was less than 100 years old, she was very senior, and the little girls in the family, no matter what her generation, all called her aunt, in fact, this is what she asked them to call her so, after all, she didn't want to be called old by them.
"Aunt Yan! The ancestor recognized a goddaughter and loved her very much, so many people are rumoring that you have fallen out of favor, and now you are sitting here again, I am afraid that the rumor will come true. Ning Xi'er said with a concerned face.
"Do you think so, too?" Ning Yan narrowed her eyes and asked the other girls.
However, none of the girls dared to answer her, because they knew Ning Yan's temper too well, and they were all afraid of her, so it was okay for them to say it in private, if it was really in front of Ning Yan, they really didn't dare to say it.
"Xi'er, it seems that you are the only one who thinks like this!" Ning Yan said with a smile.
"Aunt Yan! Many people think so, but they don't dare to say it, but I can't bear to see Aunt Yan being deceived, so I want to say it. Ning Xi'er said with an expression of 'I'm for your good'.
"Looks like I'm going to get Xiexie! I am so touched by your concern for me, Auntie. Ning Yan sneered, knowing Ning Xi'er's careful thoughts, in fact, who does Dad want to love, which is what they can decide, besides, she is Daddy's biological daughter, even if Dad is in pain Leng Ruoxue, can he still care about his own life or death? Therefore, how could she, who had already seen everything, fight for this favor, but Ning Xi'er, a yellow-haired girl, dared to play with her like this, did she really think she was a soft persimmon?
She knows that she has been low-key everywhere recently, and even her father has not shown too much concern for her, so some snobbish clansmen think that they have fallen out of favor, and now a little girl dares to calculate on her head, if she doesn't give Ning Xi'er some color, can she still be regarded as the eldest lady of the Ning family in the eyes of outsiders?
"Caring for my aunt is what Xi'er should do." Ning Xi'er, who didn't notice anything unusual at all, forcibly concealed the smugness in her heart.
"Xi'er is good, my aunt will remember." After Ning Yan finished speaking, she watched the game intently.
Ning Xi'er provoked a scene, but found that Ning Yan seemed to be thundering loudly and raining little, and she didn't take her words seriously at all, and she was depressed, but she couldn't open her mouth to urge Ning Yan to find trouble with Leng Ruoxue, so she had to endure the dissatisfaction in her heart unwillingly and reluctantly, watch the game absentmindedly, and stare at Leng Ruoxue from time to time.
Leng Ruoxue, who was sitting in the VIP seat, felt a resentful gaze, raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the rostrum opposite, revealing a faint smile.
"Godfather! I'm going to see Brother Ninghai. Leng Ruoxue whispered to the head of the Ning family.
"Well, he should be in the third arena!" The head of the Ning family said, and after speaking, he gave Ning Yan another look, and Ning Yan understood, so he took Leng Ruoxue to the No. 3 competition field.
When she arrived at the third arena, Leng Ruoxue found Ning Hai's position and sat down beside him.
"Ruoxue, you're here!" Ning Hai saw Leng Ruoxue and said happily.
"Hmmm! Brother Ning, when will you play? Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"I've got to do it in the afternoon! However, Ningshan's game is coming. Ning Hai said with some excitement, this competition was grouped according to age, and Ning Shan's age was young, so the game was naturally ahead.
"How's his fighting spirit?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a chuckle, since she lived in the forbidden land with her godfather, she had fewer opportunities to see Ning Shan, and the two of them didn't have a chance to talk at the last banquet, so she didn't know what the state of the little guy was.
"The fighting spirit is high! However, I also told him not to underestimate the enemy, although it is only an internal competition within the family, but there is also the possibility of accidents. Ning Hai said with some concern.
"It's just the early stages of the game, so it's going to be fine." Leng Ruoxue comforted, she knew what Ning Hai was worried about, although she didn't dare to say that Ning Hai was too filtered, but if she used the means on the first day of the competition, it would be too tasteless.
"I hope so!" Ning Hai nodded, in fact, it was not that he was unfounded, but that he knew better than Leng Ruoxue how fierce the competition within the big family was, and many people would do whatever it took to get ahead. But it's hard for him to say this, after all, this is their Ning family's internal competition, if he really says it, wouldn't it make people look at it as a joke?
Leng Ruoxue and Ning Hai chatted while watching the situation on the playing field, and it didn't take long for Ning Shan to finally take the turn to play...
