Chapter 551: Ning Ruolan’s Anger!
In the afternoon, the head of the Ning family, Ning Zhiyuan, stood at the entrance of the Ning residence. He was dressed in formal attire.
Behind him stood two rows of people respectfully. These people were all high ranking members of the Ning family. Any one of them could cause an earthquake outside, but none of them moved at all.
If one was to take a closer look, they would realize that these people had impatience written all over their faces, but because of Ning Zhiyuan’s authority, they did not dare to flare up.
“Master, who are we waiting for?”
In the end, one of the Ning family’s core members could not help but speak up.
His words naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
That was right!
With the Ning family’s status in Jinling, was there a need to make such a big deal out of welcoming someone? Even the head of the family had come personally. People who did not know better would think that some big boss was coming.
“That’s right. I’ve an appointment at the spa.”
A beautiful woman used a wet towel to wipe her face. She looked very impatient, “It’s been half an hour, and he’s not here yet.”
“Shut your mouth!”
However, Ning Zhiyuan snorted and said expressionlessly, “Keep your spirits up, everyone. It’s a great honor for our Ning family that this big shot is coming today. No one is allowed to be negligent, or they’ll be expelled from the family.”
The moment that was said, everyone’s expressions froze, but they did not dare to complain anymore. However, they could not help but wonder what kind of big shot would make the family head so nervous.
Even the other masters of the wealthy families did not receive such treatment, right?
At that moment, a black BMW arrived from afar. When the car stopped, an ordinary-looking young man walked out with two little girls.
“Your presence brings light to my humble abode!”
Ning Zhiyuan’s spirits were lifted, and he immediately went up to him with a smile.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Ning!”
At the same time, the people from the Ning family around lifted their eyes to look at Ye Chen. Disappointment filled their faces.
They thought it was some big shot.
They did not expect Ye Chen to be so ordinary!
“We didn’t wait long at all. You’re too kind, sir!”
Ning Zhiyuan laughed out loud. He then led Ye Chen into the villa, “Sir, I’ve prepared a banquet. We’ve been waiting for you!”
“Dad, have you forgotten about me?”
Ning Ruolan walked out of the car angrily, but Ning Zhiyuan completely ignored her.
The crowd immediately dispersed. The woman from before mumbled, “Let’s go, everyone. I thought he was some big shot, but he turned out to be a poor man. The master is really…”
“Stop right there!”
Ning Ruolan’s expression turned cold. She called out to her, “What did you just say?”
“N-Nothing.”
The lady’s face turned pale, and she shook her head immediately.
“Although I don’t like that guy, he is still Brother Wushuang’s relative. He is half of my relative. Do you think you can belittle him?”
After saying that, Ning Ruolan walked into the villa, leaving the woman from before standing where she was and continuously slapping herself.
The rest of the Ning family members kept quiet out of fear.
It was their first time seeing Ning Ruolan flip out!
…
In the Ning family’s living room on the third floor, little girl Mengmeng and Qianqian could not stop eating the sumptuous dishes on the table. The table full of dishes was forced into the two little girls’ stomachs.
Ning Zhiyuan and his daughter acted as if they did not see it. Instead, they looked at Ye Chen in shock, “Mr. Ye, are you saying that Wushuang is …dead?
How is that possible?!”
Ning Zhiyuan almost fainted.
He had seen many people in his life, but he was only fond of the young man in white who walked with a sword on his back.
Due to that, he was not angry even when the young man barged into the Ning family’s sword storage pavilion and took the family treasure, the Great Thunder Sword. Instead, he even intended to betroth his only daughter to him.
Unexpectedly, less than two months after the young man returned to Beijing, there was news of his death!
The outstanding genius was dead!
Ning Ruolan, on the other hand, could not accept it. She almost flipped the table over. She stood up by instinct and looked at Ye Chen, “Are you saying that my B-Brother Wushuang… is dead?”
Ye Chen sighed softly and waved his hand. A few fragments suddenly appeared on the table. They were the fragments of Wushuang’s Great Thunder Sword. The sharpness of the fragments was still there, but the owner was…
“It’s the Great Thunder Sword!”
Ning Zhiyuan recognized it at a glance, and he felt a slight pain in his heart, “The sword is broken, and the person is dead. Does the person really die when the sword is broken?”
“Brother Wushuang…”
Ning Ruolan held a fragment in her hand while trembling. Her eyes were slightly red, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you big, fat b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Didn’t you say you would come to Jinling to see me? Liar, big liar, I shouldn’t have let you go back then!”
She, who had always been strong, started crying.
She wiped her tears as she spoke to this point. She looked at Ye Chen with fury in her beautiful eyes, “Why didn’t you protect him? Aren’t you the most powerful person in China? Aren’t you very powerful? In the end, you can’t even protect your own family?”
“Ruolan!”
Ning Zhiyuan scolded her.
“Just let me say it!”
Ning Ruolan clenched the fragment in her hand tightly, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire, “Do you know that my father and I tried to stop Brother Wushuang from going to Beijing to look for you? Do you know that after my father and I returned to Jinling, I locked myself in my room and cried for a month?!
It’s all because of you. It’s all because of you that Brother Wushuang died!”
Perhaps it was because she was too stirred, her hand was cut by the fragment, and bright red blood flowed out.
Ye Chen listened to her venting on him quietly.
He knew that to Wushuang, he was his master and his big brother, but the Ning family was his family as well.
Besides, he was responsible for his death!
Ye Chen spoke slowly after Ning Ruolan had vented most of her anger, “It’s my fault that Wushuang got caught in the trouble. I won’t deny it. I’m here today to give you guys an explanation. I’m also here to tell you guys that Wushuang might still be alive.”
Ning Zhiyuan and his daughter froze.
Before they could speak, Ye Chen continued, “I wasn’t there when the Wushuang died and the sword broke. However, my man told me that an expert took his corpse away.”
“What do you mean?” Ning Ruolan said coldly.
“Anyway, Wushuang’s situation is very complicated. However, I’m guessing that he’s not dead!” Ye Chen forced a smile.
Ye Chen could not figure what was going on with Wushuang either!
The boy was clearly the sword spirit of the Heavenly Emperor Sword. After Ye Chen took it out of the Heavenly Emperor Sword, he threw it into the realm underneath the immortal world. He did not expect the boy to have a body for no reason.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for a weapon spirit such as magic tools to turn human. This was set by the Heavenly Dao, but Wushuang had done it. Even if it was a reincarnated body, how would Wushuang retain his memories?
Most importantly, this boy had a human body, but he did not have a human soul, so he looked like a human but not a human, like a sword but not a sword!
Ning Ruolan and Ning Zhiyuan looked at each other and saw hope in each other’s eyes, “Where did Brother Wushuang’s body go?”
“I can’t tell you about this place. It will only bring you harm!”
Ye Chen shook his head lightly and said, “However, I can promise you guys that I’ll get Wushuang back, as well as some old friends from back then…”
Like the crushed Night Demon…
The fragments of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d had been taken by the people from various countries, and the largest piece was in the hands of the j.a.panese. Perhaps they were doing research on it.
…
At the same time, in an underground research facility in j.a.pan, countless workers in anti-radiation suits were working in an orderly manner in front of all kinds of sophisticated high-tech equipment.
There was an inverted pestle that was like a weight before them. The inverted pestle moved up and down a hundred times per second, hitting a black metal piece about the size of a stone mill.
“Awesome, this is too awesome! Hahaha, this feels so good to me, Master Night Demon! Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Show them all!”
A wild laughter came from the black metal piece.
“You guys are from j.a.pan that my master mentioned, right? When I break free, I’ll definitely teach you guys a lesson!
Hurry up and get Sola Aoi and that Yui something for me. Tell them to wash up and wait for me in line!”
At that moment, an old man walked in from outside. When he heard that, he snorted and said to the staff beside him, “Transfer it to Takano. The monks have their way to cleanse it!”
