“You guys look after him. I’ll continue my research on the soul forgetfulness.” After Leng ruoxue finished speaking, she walked straight into the house.
After returning to her room, Leng ruoxue immediately flashed into the purple bamboo house in her bangle.
In the alchemy room of the purple bamboo house, she adjusted the proportion of the medicinal materials that she had refined last time and added a few new medicinal herbs. After repeated experiments, she finally refined another kind of medicinal pill.
The pill this time was slightly bigger than the previous one. The color of the pill was also slightly darker and it did not look as pretty as the previous one. Therefore, Leng ruoxue was not sure if the pill this time could cure the soul-forgetting poison. However, she had to give it a try.
Leng ruoxue took the newly refined pills and left the house.
After entering the cave, he saw that grape and the others were there. When they saw Leng ruoxue, they were a little surprised.
“Miss, it hasn’t even been a day and you’ve already made it?” Grape could not help but ask.
“En, I’ve refined another one. Let him try it!” Leng ruoxue said with a faint smile. However, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. She didn’t use less than a day! It might not have been a day outside, but time was accelerated in the bracelet, so she had spent quite a long time refining this.
Grape took the pill from Leng ruoxue’s hands and excitedly grabbed ning Duan, who was crawling on the ground. He roughly pried open his mouth and threw the pill in. Following that, the eyes of the five people were fixed on ning Duan.
This time, ning Duan did not fall asleep. He continued to crawl around like a headless fly. After a long while, he began to roll around on the ground, his hands constantly scratching his body. When he could not reach it, he began to rub it against the ground. Then, he began to tear at his clothes. In the blink of an eye, his already tattered clothes were all torn off, and he was completely naked.
Ning haolan and Cheng Xuan couldn’t help but turn their heads away when they saw his ruddy appearance. However, Leng ruoxue, grape, and lotus seed were much more generous than them. It was as if they hadn’t seen ning Duan’s ruddy appearance. Their six eyes were still fixed on him, staring fixedly. In truth, they were afraid that ning Duan would run away.
Sensing the calmness of Leng ruoxue and the other two, ning haolan and Cheng Xuan looked at each other with a bitter smile. A sense of powerlessness that they had never felt before slowly rose in their hearts. They also felt that their actions were a little embarra.s.sing. The three women did not even think that they should be impolite, so why should they care?
After ning Duan consumed the pill, Leng ruoxue also observed him for a day. After a day, seeing that ning Duan was still acting crazy, she returned to the purple bamboo house to study the forgotten soul.
A week later.
Leng ruoxue had yet to come out of her room and ning haolan was getting anxious from the wait.
“Why don’t I bring ning Duan back first?” Ning haolan said helplessly as he looked at the grapes and lotus seeds in the cave. In the past few days, ning Duan’s elders had been clamoring to see him, but he had stopped them all. He could stop them for now, but he could not stop them forever. There were already people in the clan who were beginning to suspect ning Duan’s whereabouts, so he wanted to take ning Duan back to buy some time.
“Young master ning, it’s not that I don’t want you to bring ning Duan back, but you’ve seen how that fellow is right now. Do you think that if he returns and the elders of his lineage see him like this, they’ll be able to act as if nothing happened?” She did not approve of ning haolan bringing ning Duan back, but if he insisted, she would not be able to stop him. Still, she had to say what she needed to say.
“Haolan, grape’s words are very reasonable. With ning Duan’s current condition, there’s no point in bringing him back. On the contrary, it’ll be easier for you to attract gossip.” Cheng Xuan agreed.
“Then what do you guys think we should do? The 19th elder has been asking me for her!” Ning haolan said, his head aching.
“He wants his! If you don’t give it to him, will he eat you?” Grape said disapprovingly.
“I’m just afraid that he’ll make a big deal out of it, and it won’t be easy to end it. ” Ning haolan said. This was what he was most worried about. In fact, if the nineteenth elder really went to the forefather, he would not be afraid. He was afraid that the old man would be restless and try to incite the clansmen who did not know what was going on. At that time, even the forefather would have a headache.
“With your family’s old ancestor here, he shouldn’t dare to make a scene, right?” Cheng Xuan said with uncertainty.
“That old man has always found me an eyesore. If I don’t take the opportunity to find trouble, I won’t be him.” Ning haolan sighed.
Hearing ning haolan’s words, grape, lotus seed, and Cheng Xuan looked at each other, no one saying a word. The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. In truth, they didn’t have any good ideas, but they knew very well that bringing the now-dumbfounded ning Duan back to the ning family was not a wise move.
“What happened?” Suddenly, Leng ruoxue’s voice rang out from within the cave. Upon hearing it, grape and the rest ran out in a hurry.
“Miss! You’ve finally come out. ” Grape ran in front of Leng ruoxue and said with a sigh of relief. Seeing her own young miss, her heart also settled down, as if she had found her backbone.
“Great aunt! You’ve finally come out. ” Cheng Xuan said in surprise.
“What’s wrong? are you anxious from waiting?” Leng ruoxue chuckled as she teased. Following that, she took out an elixir and pa.s.sed it to grape. This elixir was different from the previous two. It was pure black and the size of a longan. There was no light flowing on it, and it looked extremely ordinary and unremarkable.
After grape received the pill, he grabbed the sleeping ning Duan, pried open his mouth, and stuffed it in. Then, with a bang, he threw ning Duan to the ground.
Ning Duan, who was in a daze from his sleep, was awakened by the pain. He looked at grape and the others with eyes full of fear and shrank into a corner, not even daring to raise his head.
Ignoring ning Duan’s expression, Leng ruoxue turned to ning haolan and said,””Did the ning family give you trouble?”
“Not really. It’s just that the elders of ning Duan’s bloodline have always wanted to see him, but I stopped them. They’re already beginning to suspect that something has happened to ning Duan.” Ning haolan replied honestly.
“It’s been hard on you. ” Leng ruoxue said apologetically.
“I wanted to bring him back first, but he really can’t meet anyone like this.” Ning haolan said, his head aching.
“Don’t worry, I’m very confident this time. ” Leng ruoxue said calmly.
“Really?” Ning haolan was pleasantly surprised as he looked at Leng ruoxue in disbelief.
“We’ll know in a while. ” Leng ruoxue smiled but did not say anything. She spoke in a mysterious manner.
Not long after, ning Duan, who was in the corner, suddenly stood up and glared at Leng ruoxue and the rest. He roared in anger,””Dammit, how dare you treat me like this? I won’t let you off!”
Not only did ning Duan’s threat not anger Leng ruoxue and the others, it made them exceptionally happy. This meant that ning Duan had returned to normal, and that Leng ruoxue’s pill was effective.
At this moment, ning Duan’s eyes revealed a fierce glint, as if he wanted to tear Leng ruoxue and the others into pieces. When Cheng Xuan saw this, he smiled faintly and said,””It seems that he has really returned to normal. However, it seems that he is too normal. He even dares to threaten us. I really want to know why you won’t let us go. ” Cheng Xuan provoked.
During this period of time, he had been rather aggrieved because that d.a.m.ned Tiger kept coming to his side for no reason. It would either use its demonic voice to sing to him or provoke him. On account of Leng ruoxue, he couldn’t do anything to that d.a.m.ned Tiger, so he could only sulk alone. He tried to avoid that stinky Tiger as much as possible. However, he couldn’t get rid of the sulkiness in his heart. As such, he decided to use ning Duan as a scapegoat today to vent his anger.
“I, I’m a direct descendant of the ning family. If you treat me like this, the ning family won’t let you off.” Ning Duan spoke incoherently. In truth, his threat was merely words spoken out of anger. The two maidservants would be able to take care of the few people here without anyone else doing anything. Therefore, even though his words were harsh, his heart was trembling.
“Aiyo! Was a direct descendant of the ning family very impressive? Which of us here doesn’t have a higher status than you! You still dare to use your ident.i.ty to threaten us? I think you’re really tired of living. ” Cheng Xuan said with a calm smile.
“Young master! You, you actually joined forces with outsiders to bully your own family. If the patriarch and the elders find out about this, they won’t let you off. ” Seeing that he could not threaten Cheng Xuan, ning Duan could only turn his attention to ning haolan. In his opinion, as the young master of the ning family, ning haolan should at least care about his face!
However, he was wrong because ning haolan did not take him seriously at all. Ning haolan laughed before he slowly spoke,””Who are you talking about?” As he spoke, ning haolan’s eyes were on Cheng Xuan.
“It’s her! They’re outsiders!” After a long while, ning Duan pointed at Leng ruoxue and said.
Not only was ning haolan stunned by his words, but even Cheng Xuan, who had already mentally prepared himself, was also stunned. He had thought that ning Duan would say that the outsider was him! Who knew that he would actually bite Leng ruoxue? could it be that Leng ruoxue’s strength was too low? However, she was still the G.o.ddaughter of the ning family’s ancestor. Compared to him, she was not an outsider, right?
