Chapter 2592: Chapter 2592: Is Nangong Yi Really That Good?
She would never let her guard down around these people.
"Since you’re not going to harm us, can we eat something now?" Jian Yufei suddenly said.
Everyone froze for a moment.
At a time like this, she still wants to eat?
Jian Yufei raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You need to be full to have the energy to think of a way to escape, right?"
"Yes, you’re very right." Nangong Wenhua nodded in agreement, "Then you eat first, we’ll go out and think of a strategy."
Nangong Wenhua led the way and the others followed him out.
Someone noticed Nangong Yi sitting still.
"Ayi, aren’t you leaving?"
Nangong Yi smiled faintly, "I haven’t eaten yet either."
"This food..."
"This food should be fine."
"True, then enjoy your meal." That person gave Nangong Yi a meaningful smile.
He assumed Nangong Yi stayed to get close to Jian Yufei and them, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Nangong Yi’s current status was acting Family Head, so they all assumed Nangong Yi was on their side.
Once everyone left, Ruan Tianling finally spoke to Jian Yufei.
"Honey, aren’t you afraid this food is poisoned?"
He didn’t even mention those previous topics and spoke naturally with Jian Yufei.
"Didn’t they say only one person gets poisoned each day? Ours should be fine now." Although Jian Yufei said this, she was still a bit uneasy.
Nangong Yi suddenly said, "Give me a portion of your food, I’ll eat first. If it’s fine, you can eat too."
Jian Yufei was surprised.
Nangong Yi is this generous?
Nangong Yi smiled faintly, "I’m serious."
Ruan Tianling raised an eyebrow, "Then please do."
Since someone willingly volunteered to taste the food, he certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to refuse.
Ruan Tianling very unceremoniously shared portions of both his and Jian Yufei’s food with him.
Nangong Yi picked up a spoon and ate heartily.
He wiped his mouth with a napkin, "The food’s fine, go ahead and eat."
"Nangong Yi, why are you doing this?" Jian Yufei asked calmly.
Nangong Yi smiled faintly, "No real reason, I just don’t want to see you die."
Ruan Tianling said coldly, "Do you think doing this will make us consider you one of our own?"
"I haven’t thought that far. Enjoy your meal, I’m heading out."
Nangong Yi stood up and left with large strides.
Jian Yufei whispered to Ruan Tianling, "What does Nangong Yi mean?"
Ruan Tianling’s eyes were deep, "Who cares what he means, let’s eat quickly, there will be lots of trouble later."
"Will they attack us today?" Jian Yufei asked uneasily.
Her earlier calmness was all an act.
With so many people out to kill them, how could she possibly remain calm!
Ruan Tianling nodded heavily, "They will definitely strike today, if not, another person will die tomorrow."
"Is Nangong Xu suddenly against us because he suspects we’re..."
"Yes." Ruan Tianling nodded, "He must suspect us. But he won’t hold out much longer; his biggest mistake is being too arrogant."
Arrogant enough to think he’ll live a long time.
Arrogant enough to think none of them can escape his grasp.
And he shouldn’t have opted to slowly torture them, thinking it was the greatest punishment.
Yet unknowingly, this actually gave them a chance to escape.
Nangong Xu’s mistake was being too self-assured.
Ruan Tianling tightened his grip on the knife and fork, a cold smile silently playing at the corner of his mouth.
