Chapter 66: One Month
Looking at the back of the man in the power suit leaving, Xiao Ning fell into deep thought. Everything in this place looks so real, including the mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, insects and fish, as well as the pedestrian palace here, and even everything in Xiao Mansion, all the scenes presented in front of him are not illusory, Xiao Ning's hand touched the table and chair, it was very strong, this is not like an illusion, and Xiao Ning has always opened the eyes of the sky, and he has not found any signs of illusion in these things. Only this man in a strong suit, Xiao Ning felt that this person was very strange, although this person always called himself young master, but Xiao Ning did not feel familiar with this person at all.
Everything is familiar, only such a person is not familiar, Xiao Ning began to have doubts in his heart, but he did not show his face, he also wanted to see what the hell this person was going to do, what the hell was going to be done by this Xiao family, and what the city emperor was going to do.
Click......
Xiao Ning, who was sitting in the main hall, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, the footsteps were a little noisy, and there should be three or five people.
"Is Ning'er back?" a woman's voice sounded, and then a richly dressed woman walked in from outside the hall.
This woman looks about forty years old, but because she is in a rich family, she is very well raised, and she looks like she is in her early thirties, but through the occasional wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, it can be seen that this person is not too young, she should be about forty years old.
"Mother......
Seeing this woman, a word popped out of Xiao Ning's mouth inadvertently, and then realized something, and immediately closed his mouth.
The woman in front of him, Xiao Ning has really seen it, countless times in dreams, on the evil fate platform of Qin Guangcheng in the ghost domain, and on the projection of the crystal wall in the Yama Palace, this woman's identity is the mother that Xiao Ning thinks about day and night. Therefore, after seeing this woman's appearance, Xiao Ning's "mother" blurted out.
"Ning'er, it's really you!" When the woman saw Xiao Ning and heard Xiao Ning's voice again, her face became gentle, and she walked to Xiao Ning's side in a few steps and grabbed Xiao Ning's hand.
Being pulled by the woman, Xiao Ning immediately felt a warm current rushing into his body, and the long-sealed family affection was released at this moment. At this moment, Xiao Ning's heart was actually full of struggle, and he knew in his heart that the woman in front of him had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't let go of this kind of thing.
"Ning'er, where have you been these days, look at your mother's urgency!" When the woman took Xiao Ning's hand, a man walked in, this man was dressed in a brocade robe, looking elegant and majestic.
"Don't blame Ning'er, isn't this all forced by you? If you weren't allowed to marry Miss Ling, how could he leave?" said the woman in the middle between Xiao Ning and the man in the brocade robe.
"Our Xiao family and the Ling family have always been at odds, you don't know this, he and Ling Yuanshan's daughter are good, even if I agree, can that Ling Yuanshan agree?" A trace of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the brocade robed man, and this trace of helplessness just fell in Xiao Ning's eyes, making his heart complicated again.
This man Xiao Ning is also very familiar, whether it is in Xiao Ning's dream, or on Qin Guangcheng's evil mirror platform, or even on the crystal wall of the Yama Palace, the image that Xiao Ning saw, this man almost appeared at the same time as the woman, and the image of this person was Xiao Ning's biological father.
"You, a father, can't you sacrifice some face for your son, you go to the Ling family and tell me, what a good thing it would be if our two families got married, in the future, the two of them will help each other, and there will be a better future for each other!" said the woman staring at the man in the brocade robe.
"Okay, since you said so, then I will go to Ling's house tomorrow to propose marriage, and this time I will also show my old face!" The face of the man in the brocade robe was full of hesitation, but he still agreed to the woman's request.
Looking at these two people, Xiao Ning's heart swelled with warmth, home is something he has been looking forward to since he was a child, but he couldn't reach it, but he didn't expect to experience the warmth of family and the love of his parents here.
"Ning'er, don't be impulsive this time, your father must have a way to persuade the Ling family, and when the time comes, your marriage with the immortal can be decided!" the woman took Xiao Ning's hand and said.
Xiao Ning wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he held it back, his mind was clear at this time, the two people in front of him were definitely not his parents, but this kind of family affection made him reluctant.
At this time, Xiao Ning suddenly thought of a person, the family who led him to the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Ning suddenly raised his head and looked around, trying to find the figure of the family.
"Ning'er, what are you looking for?" The woman couldn't help but ask when she saw Xiao Ning's eyes looking around.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious, where is the guy who brought me here?" Xiao Ning retracted his thoughts, and asked lightly without any abnormal performance.
"You said Xiao Luo, your father originally sent him out on an errand, but he didn't expect to meet you when he walked to the city gate, and now that he has left, it is estimated that it will take a month to come back!" the woman said quietly.
"A month?" Xiao Ning's brows suddenly furrowed.
"That's right, it's been a month, what's wrong?" the woman asked.
"It's nothing!" Xiao Ning replied casually, but he was muttering in his heart. Why did it take a month for that person to leave, and what would be the unusual significance of this month? Xiao Ning didn't understand this, because he didn't understand, so he muttered more and more in his heart.
"Okay Ning'er, you don't have to think nonsense, let's go back and rest first, and when your father comes back, I will tell you!" the woman said to Xiao Ning.
"Okay, mother, where should I rest?" Although Xiao Ning felt familiar with the Xiao Mansion, he didn't really live here, so he didn't know where he should go.
"You kid, I'll take you there!" The woman thought that Xiao Ning was coquettish with herself, although Xiao Ning is almost twenty years old now, but in the seriousness of the woman, she is still a child.
Maybe in the eyes of parents all over the world, no matter how old a child is, he will always be a child.
Xiao Ning didn't say much, followed the woman to a room, this room is very large, very clean, Xiao Ning liked it at a glance, and he looked at the furnishings in this room, almost everything was familiar, as if he had lived here.
"Okay Ning'er, my mother knows that you must have suffered a lot these days outside, and I will ask someone to boil you some chicken soup to replenish your body!" the woman looked at Xiao Ning gently and said.
"Thank you, mother!" Xiao Ning did not refuse, at this time his identity was the young master of the Xiao family, and he still had to find a way to return to the real world in this Xiao family.
After entering the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Ning has always had a feeling that that that is the way to crack the evolutionary power of the City King, and it is in this Xiao Mansion, but what it is, Xiao Ning has to look for it carefully.
In addition, Xiao Ning felt that the family member who substituted himself into the Xiao Mansion actually did not leave the Xiao Mansion at all, because he always felt that in the dark, there was a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, and these eyes must be the family who led him into the Xiao Mansion.
Of course, although Xiao Ning knew it in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, he wanted to make the other party think that he had now integrated into the life of Xiao Mansion and let him be careless, so that he could seize the opportunity.
Xiao Ning waited in the room for a long time, and someone walked in with a bowl of chicken soup. I have to say that the people of Xiao Mansion have really good cooking skills, and before this chicken soup is brought into the room, Xiao Ning has already smelled a faint aroma.
"Young master, the chicken soup is on the table, you can drink it while it's hot!" The person who delivered the chicken soup was a young girl in her twenties, and she looked good.
"Well, you go down first, I'll drink it myself!" Xiao Ning didn't look at the little girl, so he said directly.
"Yes!" The little maid didn't say much, and left Xiao Ning's room directly.
After the little maid left, Xiao Ning sat at the table, staring at the chicken soup for a while, and didn't find anything unusual about the chicken soup.
Since there was nothing unusual, Xiao Ning could only scoop up a tablespoon of chicken soup and slowly put it into his mouth. Xiao Ning didn't want to arouse the suspicion of others, so even though he didn't feel hungry at all, he still drank the chicken soup sent by the maid.
The taste of this chicken soup is really good, Xiao Ning has never drunk such a delicious chicken soup from the Five Elements Sect to the Five Spirit Sect. Of course, there is also a reason, when he was in the Five Elements Gate, he was the lowest-level miscellaneous disciple, where could he drink chicken soup. And after he became a formal disciple, he was training everywhere, and he had no chance. With the improvement of Xiao Ning's cultivation, he no longer needs to eat this kind of mortal food in the future, a pill and a spirit stone can make him not eat for several months. Today's chicken soup has opened his internal organs.
In this way, Xiao Ning lived in the Xiao Mansion, everything was calm on the surface, and on the second day, the owner of the Xiao Mansion, that is, Xiao Ning's father now, brought good news that the Ling family had agreed to marry the Xiao family, and the time was just a month later, and the whole city of Luofeng City would be invited to watch the ceremony.
After getting the exact date, Xiao Ning's heart moved again, it was the same month, what did this month represent? Why did the family who did the errand come back a month later, and the marriage between the Xiao family and the Ling family was also a month later, a month, it seemed like a long time, but in fact, it didn't take long, a marriage, it took a month to prepare, and it was also necessary to invite the whole city of Luofeng City to watch the ceremony, which was obviously a bit hasty.
Therefore, Xiao Ning felt more and more that there must be something wrong this month, and as for what the problem was, he couldn't figure it out now.
