“Thank you, sir.” Lu Ningxiang said as she handed the bowl back to the teacher.
Taking the bowl, Jiang Beiran continued the question, ‘”‘There should be a few reasons why they let you out. One is to rely on you to find your father’s treasure vault, but to them, this should be an dispensable purpose. They really want to see if your family has made any preparations for such a situation.” “A backup plan…Ready?” Lu Ningxiang asked doubtfully.
“Just as you said, your father has been in power for sixteen years. It’s normal for him to make some preparations for the day when something happens to him. Therefore, your uncles probably want to see if such preparations exist from you first.”
“But from the looks of it, you probably don’t have any backup plans.”
“Indeed not…” Lu Ningxiang shook her head.
“Then I’ll use you to fish out your father. Those people in your sect might think that your father is still hiding in the dark, so they want to see if they can use you as bait to fish him out.”
“But the facts have proven that they didn’t succeed either. There are many other possibilities, but after I tampered with your sachet, none of them can be realized.”
“Sir…What should I do now?”
Although Lu Ningxiang knew the reason why she was able to escape, it was meaningless to her. What she needed now was a way, a way to protect her family.
What should he do?
Naturally, Jiang Beiran would not help her himself. After all, he had no intention of going against the strongest sect in the country.
Other than himself, Jiang Beiran’s only other option was to look for Yan Guangqing. Regardless of whether he was strong or weak, this was the only local tyrant he knew.
‘But such a hot potato…ls Yan Guangqing willing to take it?
After some thought, Jiang Beiran decided not to think about it anymore. He had no other choice anyway, so he might as well just ask.
Therefore, he took out a talisman paper and wrote a visiting card. He folded it into a paper kite and flew it out.
Jiang Beiran did not mention Lu Ningxiang in the visiting card. After all, it was better to talk about such a big matter in person.
Not long after, a paper kite flew back into Jiang Beiran’s hands. Sect Leader Yan had sent it back to him. There weren’t many words on the paper, but it was indeed very enthusiastic. The entire paper was highlighted with the word Warmly Welcome ‘
Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but think of a classmate who would look forward to him going to his house every weekend to play games.
After all, how could one person be happier than two people playing a game?
Right now, Yan Guangqing was like an internet-addicted teenager waiting for his ” playmate eagerly waiting for Jiang Beiran to study the array with him.
Putting the letter into his Interspatial Ring, Jiang Beiran first took out some rations and water from his Interspatial Ring and placed them beside the bonfire. Then, he said to Lu Ningxiang,””This cave is very safe. You can stay here first. I’ll go out for a while.”
Without waiting for Lu Ningxiang’s question, Jiang Beiran disappeared from where he was.
“Hey! ”
Lu Ningxiang stood up and wanted to grab it, but she missed.
Lu Ningxiang retracted her hand and looked at the cave that had become empty but much warmer. She sat back in front of the bonfire and closed her eyes to pray.
On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who had returned to the Fei Mansion, flew towards Clear Sky Sect.
As the saying went, plans could not keep up with changes. Jiang Beiran had originally planned to stay in Zeng Country to investigate the base camp of the exotic beasts in the Ancient Ruins and make arrangements for Qu Yangze. However, just as he was about to set off, he received Lu Ningxiang’s distress signal.
After learning about Lu Ningxiang’s condition, Jiang Beiran knew that things could not drag on any longer, so he put on Qu Yangze and returned to Xing Country.
In addition, it had to be said that without Shi Fenglan’s Flying Mansion, he really would not be able to come and go so freely.
In less than ten minutes, the Flying Mansion had already stopped above Clear Sky Sect.
Then, after completing the routine report, Jiang Beiran brought Xia Lingdang to Pan Leng Peak, where the Sect Master’s Residence was located.
(I haven’t finished writing the second half yet. I’m sending it out first because I have to make up for it since I’ve already posted it, so as to ensure that I can have 4000 words a day. Otherwise, I’ll really be addicted to cutting off the chapters and affecting your reading experience. I’m sorry.))
(I’ve laid my cards on the table. The reason why I’ve added a portion of Anti-theft every day is actually to force myself to write more, because I have no choice but to write the parts that I post. No matter how much I don’t want to write, I have to finish these. It can be considered as forcing myself and letting everyone read more. Everyone can treat the second half of the chapter as the second chapter that has not been updated. Thank you for your understanding.))
(The unfinished part will be edited later. There will be no extra charge. After that, it will be edited back to the main text. You can refresh it to watch it. The second half can be used as a trailer for today’s update. Thank you for your understanding.))
‘Yes.”
“Isn’t that right? You already said that they only dare to think about it and didn’t really make a move. Then why do you think they don’t dare to make a move?”
Lu Ningxiang’s eyes lit up.””Because they are not sure if Father is dead or not!” “Well, at least you didn’t die of stupidity.”
“I…” Lu Ningxiang wanted to retort, but when she thought about how she did not even understand such a simple logic, she lowered her head again. However, when she thought about how her father might not be dead yet, her mood improved a lot.
At this moment, Jiang Beiran lifted the lid of the pot and scooped out a bowl of slightly blackened medicinal soup. He handed it to Lu Ningxiang and said,””Drink this bowl of medicine. Your current physical condition is still very bad. ”
Jiang Beiran wanted to help Lu Ningxiang not only because he felt that it was the system’s choice, but also because the princess had a very kind heart.
Her body condition was so bad that it was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two. She estimated that she had been hiding in the mountains for a week, but in such a desperate situation, she still endured until she could not bear it anymore before asking for help.
This was just like the last time she left quietly in the middle of the night. If possible, this princess really did not want to involve him in this trouble that was very likely to be shattered.
“Thank you.” Lu Ningxiang took a sip of the decoction from the teacher and frowned.
She had always been afraid of taking medicine since she was young. Every time, it was the nanny who would take turns to cheer her up with more than
ten palace maids. However, when she recalled those originally warm scenes, Lu Ningxiang did not smile at all.
She took a deep breath and gulped down the entire bowl of medicinal soup. The medicine was still bitter, but it was nothing compared to what she had experienced recently.
“Thank you, sir.” Lu Ningxiang said as she handed the bowl back to the teacher.
Taking the bowl, Jiang Beiran continued the question,””There should be a few reasons why they let you out. One is to rely on you to find your father’s treasure vault, but to them, this should be an dispensable purpose. They really want to see if your family has made any preparations for such a situation.” “A backup plan…Ready?” Lu Ningxiang asked doubtfully.

“Sir…What should I do now?”
Although Lu Ningxiang knew the reason why she was able to escape, it was meaningless to her. What she needed now was a way, a way to protect her family..
