Chapter 1609 - The ninth young mistress (3)

“Can’t you be a little more promising? He’s the young master of the Cheng family, yet he’s afraid of a woman to this extent. ” Ning haolan’s face was full of disdain.

“You think I’m afraid of her? If she wasn’t a member of the ning family, would I have to do this? I can’t hit him, I can’t scold him, what can I do? If it was someone else, they would have just snapped, but could she? Even if you don’t come to me for revenge, will her ancestors let me off? Unless I can also advance to reverent-god level! Otherwise, I can only hide. ” Cheng Xuan said helplessly.

Ning haolan knew that Cheng Xuan was right. There were eight Supreme gods in the ning family. Excluding the ancestors, only the first and second elders were involved in the family’s Affairs. As for the other Supreme gods, they were all in seclusion in the depths of the forbidden land. They would not come out unless there was an important matter or the family’s survival was at stake. Among these Supreme gods, one of them happened to be a direct elder of Ning Shan ‘er’s line. The nings were protective of their own. It was even more vividly reflected in that person. Therefore, if something really happened to Ning Shan ‘er, that person would definitely not stand by and watch.

“But, you’re always hiding like this. It won’t solve anything!” Ning haolan reminded him, feeling a headache coming on. A man who had always enjoyed playing the game was actually scared off by a woman to the point of hiding everywhere. If word of this got out, he would be a laughing stock.

“It’s better than being pestered by her. Unless she has taken a fancy to another man, I can only avoid her every time I see her.” Cheng Xuan said in a very useless manner.

At this moment, Ning Wu, who had been sent to find out news about Ning Shan ‘er, returned.

He bowed to ning haolan and Cheng Xuan, then slowly said,””Young master! The ninth young mistress is not in the main residence right now. ”

“Where did he go?” Ning haolan was a little surprised. His ninth sister should have just returned, right?

“I don’t know the exact location, but I heard from the people in the ninth young lady’s courtyard that ninth young lady came back to wash up and then dressed up to go out. It seems that she went to meet her sweetheart.” Ning Wu reported.

“Argh! Beloved? Are you sure?” Cheng Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“I’m not very sure, but there is an 80 – 90% chance that the maidservants and guards in the ninth young lady’s courtyard all said that her heart is budding with love. ” Ning Wu said, a little embarrassed. He had wanted to ask about the ninth young lady’s situation, but who knew that the maidservants and guards in the ninth young lady’s courtyard would gossip about this to him when they saw him. After he heard it, he felt embarrassed.

“Argh! Haha…..I’m safe!” “Hahahahaha!” Cheng Xuan exclaimed, and then burst out laughing without caring about his image.

Ning haolan’s face was filled with helplessness.

“Then, are you still afraid?” Ning haolan could not help but ask.

“Tsk! She already has someone she likes who won’t pester me anymore, so why should I be afraid!” Cheng Xuan rolled his eyes at ning haolan.

“But, this is just a rumor. You can’t believe it.” Ning haolan reminded him on purpose.

“There’s no smoke without fire!” Cheng Xuan didn’t mind.

“Good luck then!” Ning haolan had nothing more to say.

“Haolan, why don’t you come with me to visit Ning Shan ‘er when she returns and confirm her suspicions?” Cheng Xuan suggested after some thought.

“Good! Then I’ll risk my life to accompany you. ” Ning haolan nodded.

“Ning Wu, send someone to keep an eye on her. If the ninth young mistress comes back, immediately send someone to inform me.” Ning haolan turned around and instructed Ning Wu.

“Yes!” Ning Wu nodded and turned to leave.

Cheng Xuan was in a great mood, and he pulled ning haolan to the garden to have tea and chat.

It was late at night.

When the two of them were about to go back to their rooms to rest, Ning Wu hurriedly came to report.

“Young master! Oh no, the ninth young mistress has gone to the forbidden area in the back mountain. ” Ning Wu said loudly.

“When did she come back?” Ning haolan quickly asked.

“She came back less than half an hour ago. However, I heard from the guards that she went to the prison cell first before going to the forbidden area in the back mountain.” Ning Wu said.

“Could she have gone to find trouble with me?” Cheng Xuan said worriedly, sigh! He knew that woman was not easy to deal with. She had been out for the whole night and had just returned, and she was already restless.

“Let’s go take a look. ” Ning haolan was worried as well. Ning Shan ‘er and Ning Xi’ er were different. If possible, he did not wish for Ning Shan ‘er and Leng ruoxue to have any conflict.

After that, the two of them looked at each other and went straight to the forbidden area in the back mountain.

As they approached, Cheng Xuan and ning haolan heard a loud slap in the middle of the quiet night. The two of them quickly walked over.

“Shan ‘er!” Ning haolan said. At the same time, he turned to look at the Guard’s face, only to see that it was red and swollen, with a few black and blue scratch marks on it. These were clearly signs of poisoning.

“So it’s young master big brother! It’s so late, why aren’t you resting?” Ning Shan ‘er asked with a proud expression.

“Shan ‘er! Where’s the antidote? Give it to me!” Ning haolan did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. However, he was extremely annoyed with this clan sister of his. If he could, he really did not want to have any dealings with Ning Shan ‘er, especially when she had to wear a fake smile on her face.

“Young lord big brother, it’s just a small poison, there’s no need to use an antidote!” Ning Shan ‘er smiled sweetly and said nonchalantly.

“Cut the crap and give me the antidote!” Ning haolan suppressed his anger. A little poison? Half of the Guard’s face darkened. Was this still a little poison?

“There’s no antidote!” Ning Shan ‘er said coldly.

“No antidote? Then how dare you poison your clansmen!” Ning haolan was a little angry now, and the gentle smile on his face was replaced by a hint of anger.

“He was the one who offended me first. I only gave him a small lesson.” Ning Shan ‘er did not feel that she was in the wrong. She was a young lady of the ning family’s direct line, and a legitimate child at that. On the other hand, the other party was only a guard. No matter if it was identity or status, they could not compare to her.

“Did you offend the ninth young mistress?” Hearing Ning Shan ‘er’s words, ning haolan turned to look at the guard.

“Ninth young mistress wants to enter the forbidden area. I don’t dare to let her in.” The guard said bluntly. His words were also very clear. He had been beaten and poisoned by the ninth young mistress because he had done his duty. The poison might not have killed him, but half of his face had lost feeling.

“Shan ‘er! Don’t you know what kind of place the forbidden area is? How can we force our way in?” Ning haolan asked unhappily with a straight face. The ning family’s forbidden area was off limits to anyone, not even the acting Master, unless they had the permission of the old ancestor, let alone Ning Shan ‘er.

“I know! However, since even an outsider can live in the forbidden area, why can’t I, as a direct descendant of the ning family, go in?” Ning Shan ‘er roared in jealousy. Her beautiful face was red from anger, and her beautiful eyes were even more dazzling in the night.

“Is the outsider that ninth young mistress is referring to the first elder of the craftsmen’s Guild?” Suddenly, Cheng Xuan said with a faint smile.
