At this moment, Xiao Ning’er is quietly staring out the window. In the noon, she received a letter from Nie Li saying that he’s going to leave for some time, instructing her to rest well at home and also giving her a prescription. After being massaged twice by Nie Li and practising [Lightning Winged Dragon Technique], her illness is a lot better. Therefore, wouldn’t be any problem in this short period of time.
Later, Xiao Ning’er learnt that Nie Li went to explore with Chen Linjian’s group and that Ye Ziyun also went along. Xiao Ning’er felt resentment. Why didn’t Nie Li bring her along?
“Miss, Master asked for your presence in the Main Hall!” A servant hurriedly ran in, speaking in an anxious tone.
Xiao Ning’er frowned, not knowing what had happened. She stood up and walked towards the Main Hall.
Winged Dragon Family’s Main Hall.
The house master of Winged Dragon Family, Xiao Yunfeng, is currently sitting on the front seat in the main hall. The two columns beside sat a total of six middle aged man. They are the cousins of Xiao Yunfeng and the Elders of Winged Dragon Family.
“Father, is there anything for why you are looking for me?” Xiao Ning’er said, slightly bend herself towards Xiao Yunfeng then her eyes swept past the six elders.
“We called you here because there’s something I want to ask you.” Xiao Yunfeng’s face remained somewhat unhappy. Xiao Ning’er knows that this is must be because of the few uncles. Since becoming the house master of Winged Dragon Family, the three uncles haven’t been on good terms with Xiao Yunfeng.
The elder Xiao Yi sitting beside faintly laughed, “Niece Ning’er, I heard that some time ago, you paid large amount of money to acquire quite lots of Purple Haze Grass. Now that the price of Purple Haze Grass has already skyrocketed by several hundredfold, I fear that the price of those Purple Haze Grass has already reached hundreds of millions. With so many Demon Spirit Coin, our Winged Dragon Family’s comeback wouldn’t be long now. Niece Ning’er has made such huge contribution to the family, really is the lucky star of our Winged Dragon Family!”
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Xiao Ning’er understood what was going on. Xiao Yi heard from somewhere that she had bought a large amount of Purple Haze Grass, so he came to pressure her father, wanting to take a portion of the Purple Haze Grass!
Regarding this matter, Xiao Yunfeng is naturally unhappy about it. No matter how much Purple Haze Grass Xiao Ning’er has bought, this matter is not related to the family. This is Xiao Ning’er’s personal action! Therefore, how the Purple Haze Grass is being disposed of has nothing to do with the family!
But Xiao Yi didn’t give up, fixed on having Xiao Ning’er to give an explanation.
Xiao Ning’er stood proudly, having a firm expression and said, “Xiao Yi Elder, I spent my own money to buy those Purple Haze Grass, this matter doesn’t concern the family. Does it? Or is it that the herbs and armours bought by Xiao Yi Elder also needs to be submitted to the family?”
“You…” Xiao Yi never thought that the usually gentle Xiao Ning’er would refute him so fiercely.
What Xiao Yi didn’t know is that Xiao Ning’er’s image in the family had always been submissive. But after having contacts with Nie Li, Xiao Ning’er’s heart had undergone slight subtle changes. Nie Li allowed her to understand one thing: That when one encounters unfair things, one must stand and fight!
Xiao Yunfeng felt rather pleased upon hearing Xiao Ning’er’s words. He then looked towards Xiao Yi saying “Xiao Yi, what Ning’er said is correct, I believe that this is not an obligation of the family!”
Xiao Yi did not giving up and continued “This matter cannot be compared to ordinary matters, those Purple Haze Grass worth hundreds of millions or even billions of Demon Spirit Coin. It can greatly alleviate the family crisis and we wouldn’t be controlled by Sacred Family anymore.” Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Ning’er, tempting, “If Ning’er contributes the Purple Haze Grass to the family, then Ning’er Niece wouldn’t need to marry to Shen Fei anymore!”
Truth is, Xiao Yi didn’t think that way, conning Xiao Ning’er to surrender the Purple Haze Grass first before deciding anything else. As for marrying Shen Fei or not, that doesn’t depend on their decision, but depends on the Sacred Family.
The remaining five elders also agreed with Xiao Yi’s suggestion. If the Purple Haze Grass is placed in Xiao Ning’er’s hands, then it wouldn’t have anything to do with them. But if it was contributed to the family, then the whole family will also benefit from it. Even the two elders that usually stand on Xiao Yunfeng’s side also had the same thoughts.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Yunfeng guiltily glanced at Xiao Ning’er and sighed.
Xiao Ning’er felt wronged in her heart. Why does she needs to be sacrificed every time when the family experienced difficulties? Where did the others go to? Luckily Nie Li had already taken the Purple Haze Grass away from her. Xiao Ning’er said boldly and confidently, “Those Purple Haze Grass were bought on behalf of a friend, and everything was given to him before the price of Purple Haze Grass sky-rocketed. He had already passed me the money for buying those Purple Haze Grass, therefore, the Purple Haze Grass is already none of my business!”
“What?” Xiao Yi’s face immediately turned ugly again.
Xiao Yunfeng looked at Xiao Ning’er and asked, ” Ning’er, is this true?”
“En.” Xiao Ning’er nodded her head and calmly replied, “It’s the truth. Said Purple Haze Grass is already no longer in my hands!”
Xiao Yi’s expression went gloomy, saying “What’s the name of your friend and what is his background?”
“I promised him that I would keep it a secret!” Xiao Ning’er solemnly said, she definitely would not reveal Nie Li’s name to others. She had already decided, no matter how much pressure she suffers, she must secure Nie Li’s secret.
