Chapter 145 - CooperatingWei Yuanwei suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes filled with ridicule: "How can I trust you? I"m afraid your name is fake. "
Ning Zhizhan only slightly smiled. He lightly twisted a green leaf in his hand, and his slender fingers were covered in green ink. "The name is only a code name, so there"s no need for you to be so restrained. Besides, I don"t seem to be able to find any allies who are willing to help you escape."
Wei Yuanwei looked at him with narrowed eyes. The sunlight was like fragments of jade flowing down his body, causing his face to become even more jade-like, and his figure to become even more elegant.
"Young master, you"re wrong. Ning Zheyan treated me like a guest and treated me like a meal. How could I bear to leave?"
"Heh heh, is that so? Why was the girl looking around uneasily? Am I wrong? So the girl just wants to be a caged bird. " Ning Zhiqiang smiled innocently.
However, Wei Yuanwei felt depressed in his heart, she knew very clearly that if she were to lose the value of using him, snake demon Ning might just use her to refine pills.
Taking a step back meant that she would be like a warm water frog waiting for its death to slowly approach, and taking another step forward would mean an unfathomable danger. Perhaps, in the next moment, her soul might scatter, but she would rather try.
"Alright, I"ll believe you for now." Other than trusting him, she didn"t seem to have any other way out. Moreover, this man who was gentle like jade didn"t seem like a bad guy. Although she didn"t like to judge people by their appearances, she didn"t know why, but she felt stupid about him.
His figure was long and slender, when he spoke to her, he had his head bowed slightly, his eyes filled with a gentle air, especially his soothing voice, which was like a spring breeze blowing past the willow leaves on the sh.o.r.e, "In the past few days, I have circled around the entire underground palace, and have knocked on every wall with my fingers, and I did not notice anything amiss. Miss, have you noticed anything amiss?"
She had almost bit the tip of her tongue, and her face was burning with embarra.s.sment. She straightened her back, pretended to be calm, and seeing that Ning Zhizhan was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, she sarcastically retorted, "I thought young master had already found a way to escape so he wanted to be a hero and save the beauty. I didn"t expect that you would be at a loss for what to do."
Ning Zhiqiang only looked at her with a smile, seemingly not paying any attention to her ridicule. It made Wei Yuanwei feel like she was powerless to even punch her.
Wei Yuanwei raised his head and looked at the place where she had been frightened witless. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and excitedly held Ning Zhiqiang"s hand, "Although I don"t know where the exit to the underground palace is, I have a way to get out."
Ning Zhiqiang gripped her hand in his own. His hand was a little hot, and his eyes seemed to be filled with unfathomable emotions.
Wei Yuanwei realized that she had been rude, and withdrew her hand, "We will meet here during tonight"s time." She seemed to have thought of something and revealed a malicious smile. "I heard that Ning Zheyan has a flower room?"
He felt that her current expression was somewhat cute and couldn"t help but curl her lips. "That"s right, this greenhouse is filled with rare poisonous flowers, and they are especially enchanting. Master Ning cherishes them very much."
Most of the flowers inside were probably used by Ning Zheyan to refine medicine, and he had been imprisoned by Ning Zheyan for so many days, if she did not return the favor, wouldn"t he feel ungrateful?
"Does young master know the logic of attacking from the east and attacking from the west?" She winked at Ning Zhiqiang with a smile, making her face look even more adorable.
Ning Zhizi smiled and cupped his hands, "I won"t disappoint you, Miss."
Talking to an intelligent person saved him energy. Wei Yuanwei smiled, and Ning Zhiqiang, who was looking at the woman in front of him with a lovely smile, couldn"t help but feel his heart fly out.
"Miss, the soup is ready." Ning Zai panted as he walked over. Only when she saw Wei Yuanwei standing there safe and sound did she relax a little.
But when she saw that handsome man standing by her side, she couldn"t help but frown. This woman was really a fox, she was able to seduce men wherever she went. She naturally felt that her master was different from ordinary people towards this woman, and that she already had a grudge against Wei Yuanwei.
Naturally, she could not vent her anger on Wei Yuanwei, because her master had reminded her to serve Wei Yuanwei properly. Thus, Ning Zai placed his hands on his hips and said to Ning Xi in disdain, "This lowly person is worthy to speak to your esteemed guest, quickly scram!"
Ning Zhiqiang still had a smile on his face, but that smile caused Ning Zai to feel cold all over, and she could not help but take a step back.
Ning Zhiya only smiled and cupped his hands towards Wei Yuanwei before he leisurely left. His back was straight and his posture was graceful, he did not seem like an ordinary servant at all.
Ning Zai stared at Ning Zhizi"s back with suspicion. She would definitely send someone to investigate Ning Zhizi"s ident.i.ty.
Wei Yuanwei interrupted Ning Zai"s thoughts: "Bring the soup over and follow me to see your young master."
Ning Zai"s eyes were filled with excitement. She knew that his young master"s situation wasn"t good, and wanted to visit him again and again, but was stopped by the guards by his master"s side. Finally, he could see his young master in broad daylight.
Wei Yuanwei walked in front while carefully following behind his with the small porcelain jar. The small jar was very hot and she would occasionally place it in his other hand.
"Halt, Master Ning is resting, no one is allowed to enter." The guards stopped the two. Minister Yan had instructed before that no matter who it was, no one was allowed to let Young Master meet her guests.
Wei Yuanwei only smiled, and raised her voice: "After knowing that Master Ning is unwell, Wei Yuanwei has come to visit."
The guard glared at her, but she only returned the glare with an innocent smile.
"Come in." It was obvious that Ning Zheyan"s voice was weak, and even had a bit of weariness to it.
Who would have thought that snake demon Ning would have such a day? Wei Yuanwei withdrew her gloating expression and slowly walked in.
The moment he entered the room, he could feel the luxurious atmosphere coming from the direction of the smoke furnace which was shaped like a peac.o.c.k opening its tail feathers and was made out of pure gold. The smoke rose in spirals from the feathers, giving off a dreamy feeling, the golden screens were lined up one by one, the beauties on them were vivid and lifelike, the painting was excellent, the color was eye-catching, everything in the room was exquisite and meticulous.
Only after hearing a few coughs from Ning Zheyan within the ta.s.sels did Wei Yuanwei retract her astonished gaze and look towards the luxurious ta.s.sels.
