Jiangning Prefecture, the Prefecture Lord"s Yamen."What?" "Someone dared to kill a member of the Situ Family within the borders of the Jiang Ning Prefecture!" Chen Yi abruptly sat up from his chair, his expression extremely unsightly.
In the entire SouthYue County, the Situ Family was the overlord. No one dared to challenge the prestige of the Situ Family. However, no one expected that Situ Jun would be killed the moment he entered the Jiang Ning territory.
"Master, you must find out who the real culprit is!" A n.o.blewoman beside him wailed.
She was Chen Yi"s official wife, Chen Tongyan"s biological mother, Situ Yue. She was also the aunt of Situ Lin and Situ Jun.
Although Situ Yue"s bloodline was not a direct descendant of the Situ Family, it still held a great deal of power. It was absolutely not something that a small family like the Jiang Ning Family could compare with.
The makeup on Situ Yue"s face bloomed as she pointed at Chen Yi and screamed hysterically. As for the normally haughty and arrogant Situ Lin, she was dumbstruck as she sat on the side, muttering to herself, "Big brother, he was killed! He was killed!"
Chen Yi was also anxious as he paced up and down the hall. Situ Yue was like a shrew as she clattered by his ear, causing him to furrow his brows.
"Alright!" He let out an angry shout that scared even Situ Lin, "Lin"er has been frightened to such an extent that she can"t even describe the appearance of the murderer. How could she possibly arrest him?"
Although the Jiang Ning manor was small, it still had a population of tens of millions. Moreover, these siblings had always been domineering and arrogant, looking down on everyone else. There were bound to be some powerful individuals who taught them a lesson.
Chen Yi said coldly, "You can take Lin"er with you. When she"s better, come find me again."
"But old master …" Situ Yue wanted to continue speaking, but when she saw Chen Yi glaring at her, she didn"t dare to speak any further and hurriedly ordered her subordinates to bring Situ Lin down.
Not long after they left, Ning Wufeng walked into the great hall. His heart thumped when he saw Chen Yi"s dark expression, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, how is Chuchu?"
Even though Chen Yi disliked Ning Wufeng, he had, after all, cured Chuchu"s illness. Furthermore, he had gone to find her medicine in the middle of the night. As a father, he couldn"t show Ning Wufeng his true colors.
"It"s just something else. It has nothing to do with Chuchu." Chen Yi said coldly.
Situ Jun had been killed, Chen Chuchu"s Nine Spiritual Pulse was in chaos, and the four great academies were about to join forces to recruit new students. A large number of cultivators had rushed into the Jiangning Estate, leaving Chen Yi dizzy from all these events.
"How is it, did you find the Spirit Gra.s.s?" Chen Yi hurriedly asked.
At this moment, Situ Yue walked in again. Upon hearing the words of the spirit gra.s.s, she hurriedly asked, "What spirit gra.s.s? Lin"er is still very weak right now and needs some spirit plants to recuperate."
She looked at Ning Wufeng, frowned, and coldly said, "Isn"t this that useless son-in-law from the Ning family? Why did he come here today? Our Chen family will not raise trash who can only get what they want. "
Her tone was laced with a hint of bitterness. She wholeheartedly wanted to get Chen Chuchu and the direct descendant of the Situ clan. On one hand, she wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Chen family and the Situ clan, and on the other hand, she wanted to strengthen her relationship with the direct descendant.
Such a good thing was naturally desirable. However, he did not expect that the girl, Chen Chuchu, would have such a bad temper. She had actually chosen this good-for-nothing as her man.
Ning Wufeng glanced at Situ Yue. If he hadn"t erased part of Situ Jun"s memories of his feelings, he would have definitely thought that Situ Yue was Situ Jun"s aunt. However, at this moment, he was concerned about Chen Chu"s safety and didn"t think about the matters between Situ Yue and the Situ Clan.
He frowned and ignored Situ Yue, "Where"s Chuchu? I"ll go see her."
"Halt!" Situ Yue couldn"t help but snort and say, "How dare you! Didn"t you hear me speak to you?"
Ning Wu Feng looked at her indifferently and said, "My apologies, Madam. "Ning Wufeng still has something important on him, so he doesn"t have time to chat with you."
"Yo, a trash still has important things to do?" Situ Yue"s long, shapely eyebrows twitched as she sneered, "You want to trick our Chu Feng again? Let me tell you, there"s no way."
"You don"t need to worry about us." Ning Wufeng said lightly.
Situ Yue mocked coldly with her sharp teeth, causing Chen Yi to furrow his brows. After all, his daughter"s life was in Ning Wufeng"s hands.
"Alright." He coldly swept a glance at Situ Yue as he spoke in a displeased tone.
"I"ve already gotten the Ground Flower Spirit Gra.s.s. With this, Chuchu"s conflict with the Nine Spiritual Pulses can definitely be resolved. At the very least, there won"t be any conflicts until the four great academies accept her." Ning Wufeng said.
"Ah Fu, bring him over." A look of joy instantly appeared on Chen Yi"s face as he spoke out.
"Yes, master." An old servant walked over and respectfully greeted Ning Wufeng, "Young Master, this way please."
However, at this time, Situ Yue"s face darkened. She took a step forward and stopped in front of Ning Wufeng, saying, "Wait, leave the Ground Spirit Gra.s.s behind."
The Ground Flower Spirit Gra.s.s was a Tier 5 spiritual herb. Others might not know, but Situ Yue, who was born in the Situ Family, knew very well that this trash had such a great treasure.
Ning Wufeng frowned and said coldly, "If Madam continues to be so aggressive, then Ning Wufeng will be rude."
"With only trash like you, you want to fight against me?" Situ Yue coldly laughed as her face twitched.
With a "pa" sound, Chen Yi slapped Situ Yue"s face, causing him to be completely stupefied. Chen Yi roared angrily, "If you continue to be like this, then scram back to your Situ Clan."
"Situ Clan?" Ning Wufeng couldn"t help but raise his eyebrows. Only then did he connect Situ Yue with the person he had killed, Situ Jun.
He couldn"t help but be shocked. He didn"t know if Situ Lin was still in the Chen Family. If he were to run into her and be identified as the culprit, it would be too late for him to escape.
Ning Wufeng immediately became more cautious.
However, she heard Situ Yue"s sharp voice, "Your entire mind is on that d.a.m.ned girl. My Lin"er is also scared silly. If something were to happen to her, the Situ Family would definitely not let you off!"
She yelled at Chen Yi hysterically, turned around, and gave Ning Wufeng a fierce glare. She covered her face and ran out.
At this moment, Chen Yi"s expression was extremely ugly as well.
Ning Wufeng turned a deaf ear to this. Under Ah Fu"s lead, they walked towards Chen Chuchu"s courtyard. However, he was also very careful on the way, afraid that he would run into Situ Lin.
However, from Situ Yue"s words, it seemed as if Situ Lin had been scared silly. She didn"t know if it was a temporary or a long-term situation.
It was better to cure Chuchu first and leave the Chen family quickly. Not to mention the Situ Clan, even the Chen Clan had many people who wanted his life.
The broken door of Chuchu"s room had already been repaired. Ah Fu stood respectfully outside the door, indicating that Ning Wufeng could enter.
"Young Master Ning, you"re here." When Little Bi saw Ning Wufeng, she hurriedly walked up to him. Her eyes were still red and swollen, but they were much better. It must be that Chuchu was recovering well.
"Where"s Chuchu?" Ning Wufeng asked.
"Miss is training inside." Little Bi gently lifted the pearl curtain for Ning Wufeng, and he saw the silhouette of her beautiful figure.
Chen Chuchu sat cross-legged. Ning Wufeng saw nine rays of light dancing around her. The spiritual power around her was like flowing water that rushed into her body.
Nine Spiritual Pulse was actually this abnormal? Ning Wufeng couldn"t help but be speechless. The speed at which the Nine Spiritual Pulse refined spiritual energy was dozens of times faster than when he refined it.
It seemed that he had to first break through to the Nine Spiritual Pulse and then step into the Invigorated Meridian Realm. Ning Wufeng made up his mind. The more spirit veins there were, the stronger the spiritual cavities would be.
"Big Brother Wufeng, you"re here." Chen Chuchu slowly opened her eyes as a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. However, her face was still pale. Clearly, she had suffered a lot due to her Nine Spiritual Pulse.
"Chuchu, I"ve found the Ground Spirit Gra.s.s for you." Ning Wufeng gently caressed Chen Chuchu"s hair. The beauty leaned her head against his chest.
"Don"t worry, I"ll be there for you." Ning Wufeng softly said. With a flick of his hand, he took out the Ground Flower Spirit Gra.s.s from the s.p.a.ce talisman.
"Yes." Chen Chuchu nodded slightly, looking at Ning Wufeng with her beautiful eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her black and white eyes made Ning Wufeng"s heart beat rapidly.
What a beautiful woman. Chen Chuchu"s eyebrows could be described as like a fish in the wind, or a wild goose. It could even be said that she was ashamed to close the moon. The Nine Spiritual Pulse allowed her to have more agility and celestial spiritual energy compared to the beauties that Ning Wufeng could think of.
"If the shoulder is cut, the waist will be like a lotus. Extending the neck, showing off the white substance. Fangze without special, lead flower fuyu. The bun was like a feather, and his eyebrows were tightly-knit. lips outside, white teeth inside fresh. The bright eyes are kind, the right to support.
It was graceful and elegant, like a swimming dragon. It"s as if the moon is hidden by the light clouds and the wind is blowing back the snow. "
Ning Wufeng softly hummed an "oh" to this G.o.ddess Luo technique. Perhaps this G.o.ddess Luo technique was the only one that could barely be described as flawless.
Chen Chuchu was quietly lying on Ning Wufeng"s chest, listening to his mumbling. Her pretty face couldn"t help blushing. She knew that the person before her was praising her beauty.
Of course, Ning Wufeng wasn"t just focused on reciting a poem. At the same time, he also used his spiritual power to refine the Ground Flower Spirit Gra.s.s in his hand. A clear and cold dragon roar echoed out from Chuchu"s room.
Not too far away, in the first wife"s room, Situ Lin heard the dragon"s roar and her body trembled.
"Ground Spirit Gra.s.s."
However, there was no one around. After a moment of panic, her face returned to its dull state.
At this moment, the Ground Flower Spirit Gra.s.s had turned into three shining purple dragons of power, circling and interweaving in Ning Wufeng"s palm. As they absorbed Ning Wufeng"s spirit energy, the medicinal properties of the herbs were also activated, and the rate of their movements became faster and faster.
The three roaming dragons intertwined in Ning Wufeng"s palms, forming a circle with its head and tail pointing at each other. They were shining with a purple light, and the fluctuations of spiritual power were extremely intense.
The power of the earth.
Ning Wufeng also felt his pores open up, and he had the urge to merge the power of the earth meridian into his body. With this meridian, his strength would definitely be able to ascend to a new level.
However, he suppressed the impulse in his heart. He turned his hand and gently infused the spirit energy from the earth vein into Chuchu"s delicate back. A purple light shot out and lit up Ning Wufeng"s eyes.
Chen Chuchu also let out a soft humph. Her delicate body trembled as she hugged Ning Wufeng tightly.
