“You’ve sent someone to retrieve the forgotten soul?” Cheng Xuan asked curiously.
Ning haolan turned around and smiled faintly. Then, he stood up and walked towards the arena.
“Hey!” Cheng Xuan was about to call out to ning haolan, but after a second thought, he stood up and headed straight for the ring.
At this moment, third elder, who was in a dilemma and had a headache, felt his head throb when he saw ning haolan.
“Young master! What are you doing here?” The third elder asked, forcing himself to remain calm.
“Third elder, I’ve been here since the start of the competition.” Ning haolan said with a faint smile. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
After he finished speaking with third elder, he bent down to check on Ning Shan’s injuries. Then, he stood up and said,””It’s really soul-forgetting,”
“Young master! “I’ve ordered the guards to go to the storeroom …”The third elder did not finish his sentence, but he believed that ning haolan would understand what he meant.
“Third elder, you don’t have to say anything. I didn’t send anyone to retrieve the forgotten soul.” Ning haolan went straight to the point.
Ning haolan’s words seemed to be within third elder’s expectations. He turned to the guard and asked,””What did the people in the warehouse say?”
“The people in the warehouse said that it was young master’s attendant who went to retrieve the soul.” The guard said hurriedly. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head timidly. Wu…..The young master wouldn’t hold a grudge against him, right? He was telling the truth!
“My personal attendant? Which one?” Ning haolan asked softly.
“It’s Ning Wen. ” The guard said.
“Call Ning Wen over. Tell him that I have something to ask him.” Ning haolan ordered the guard coldly.
“Yes.” The guard responded and turned to leave the arena.
“Third elder, don’t worry. We’ll know everything once we ask Ning Wen.” Ning haolan said with a faint smile. Then, he shifted his gaze to Leng ruoxue and sized her up.
It was undeniable that the woman in front of him was the most beautiful one he had ever seen. Be it her looks or temperament, she was the best. Furthermore, she had an innate pride. In fact, he couldn’t even feel the slightest sense of superiority in front of her. In short, Leng ruoxue was an outstanding woman. Other than her low cultivation, he couldn’t find any flaws.
As ning haolan sized up Leng ruoxue, she did the same to him.
She had heard the name of the ning family’s young master, ning haolan, from the great elder and Godfather many times. However, this was her first time meeting ning haolan. She had not seen the genius young master of the ning family in the divine mainland.
Not only was ning haolan extremely handsome, but he also had outstanding talent. He was now a Godking and was one of the best among the younger generation of the ning family. He was also the leader of the younger generation. It was said that many of the younger members of the ning family idolized him. However, he was now involved in the ‘forgotten soul’ incident, so it was unknown if his prestige in the ning family would be affected.
Even though there was evidence that ning haolan had sent someone to retrieve the soul, she did not believe that he would use it in a family competition. If this was not ning haolan’s order, then someone must have used his name to retrieve the soul. The reason she did not suspect that ning Duan had sent someone to retrieve the forgotten soul was because she believed that ning Duan did not have such great authority.
After waiting for a long time, the guard returned by himself.
“Young master! Ning Wen is missing. ” The guard reported the truth, but he was extremely depressed in his heart. Wu…..How could he have encountered such a thing? He hoped that the young master would not blame him.
“What do you mean by gone?” Ning haolan frowned and asked in confusion.
“This subordinate has searched the entire LAN garden, but there is no trace of Ning Wen.” The guard said honestly.
“Young master has arranged for Ning Wen to handle some matters?” The third elder couldn’t help but ask.
“No, you’re still looking for it! We must find him. ” Ning haolan ordered the guard.
“Yes.” The guard responded, but he was depressed in his heart.
After the guard turned around and left, third elder looked at Leng ruoxue and ning haolan and said,””Young lady Leng, young master, let Ning Shan and ning Duan withdraw first! Let’s not delay the rest of the competition. ”
“Yes.” The two of them nodded. Then, ning haolan summoned two guards and carried Ning Shan away. Before the matter was cleared up, he ordered for ning Duan to be kept under guard.
After carrying Ning Shan to the guest room, Ning Hai quickly ran in and stayed by his brother’s bed, not leaving.
Seeing this, Leng ruoxue’s beautiful eyes turned towards ning haolan and she spoke indifferently,””How does young master ning plan to deal with this matter?”
“Naturally, I will report it to the public. Does miss Leng believe that I didn’t send anyone to retrieve the forgotten soul?” Ning haolan couldn’t help but ask.
“It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not. However, we can’t just let the matter of Ningshan go like this.” Leng ruoxue said coldly as a killing intent flashed across her eyes.
“I will give Ning Shan justice.” Ning haolan sighed.
“I hope so,” Leng ruoxue nodded. Actually, she did not care if ning haolan could really seek justice for Ning Shan. Even if ning haolan wanted to protect someone, she was not afraid because she had her Godfather!
“Don’t worry! Haolan is a man of his word. ” At this moment, Cheng Xuan jumped out from who knows where and promised.
“I’m his good friend, Cheng Xuan. ” Without waiting for Leng ruoxue to ask, he introduced himself in a familiar manner.
“Leng ruoxue.” Leng ruoxue looked at the handsome man who seemed to be very friendly with her. A few drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and she was speechless. This man was exceptionally handsome, and his looks were no less than her brother ‘s. However, she could not quite accept his friendly personality, and he kept winking at her. If he was not ning haolan’s friend, she would not have been so kind to him.
“I know, you’re haolan’s great-aunt!” Cheng Xuan had touched a sore spot. Leng ruoxue and ning haolan were both speechless after he finished speaking.
Great aunt? “She doesn’t want to be some Grand-aunt,” Leng ruoxue could not help but Mutter to herself. She was unusually repulsed by this form of address in her heart. However, ning haolan’s mental fortitude was clearly above hers. Other than feeling a little awkward, he did not have any other thoughts.
“She’s the goddaughter of the ning family’s ancestor. Her seniority is there for all to see! So, even if you don’t want to be a great aunt, you can ‘t!” As if he knew what Leng ruoxue was thinking, Cheng Xuan laughed evilly.
“I only acknowledge him as my Godfather. The rest of the ning family has nothing to do with me, so there’s no need to be particular about this.” Leng ruoxue said calmly. She could tell that this Cheng Xuan was just waiting to make a fool of himself. However, how could she let him do as he wished?
At that moment, the guards who were sent to look for Ning Wen returned and diverted their attention.
“Young master! Ning Wen is not in the main residence. I heard from the guards that he left the main city late last night. ” The guard reported.
