Chapter 1532: Refining the antidote (3)

Translator: 549690339 

Ning haolan’s heart began to burn with anger at the Guard’s words. He knew that Ning Wen was most likely involved in this matter, but why would Ning Wen use his name to retrieve the soul? Could it be that someone in the clan was forcing him? And who would have the guts to force his attendant to do such a thing? He really didn’t want to live anymore!

“It seems that young master ning’s attendant has fled for fear of punishment.” After Leng ruoxue heard the Guard’s words, she spoke indifferently.

“Don’t worry, miss Leng. I’ll send someone to find Ning Wen. ” Ning haolan consoled.

“What about Ning Shan? And how will ning Duan be dealt with?” Leng ruoxue did not care about Ning Wen’s whereabouts, but she could not let Ning Shan lie on the bed like this.

“Miss Leng, there’s no antidote for the soul-forgetting pill. As for ning Duan, I can only send people to keep an eye on him before the matter is investigated. However, I can’t disqualify him from the competition. ” Ning haolan said with some difficulty. Ning Duan’s senior was an elder in the clan, so unless there was sufficient evidence, he could not disqualify ning Duan from the competition, nor could he punish him.

“I understand. What about Ning Shan?” Even though Leng ruoxue was a little disappointed by ning haolan’s words, she knew very well what he was thinking. He was thinking that there was not enough evidence. Hence, it would be difficult to deal with ning Duan. She could put ning Duan aside for now, but she could not do the same to Ning Shan. Therefore, she needed an explanation from ning haolan. Otherwise, she would have to look for her Godfather.

“Ning Shan … The family will send people to take care of him in the future. With me around, I won’t let anyone bully him.” Ning haolan said after some thought. He knew that Leng ruoxue might not be satisfied with what he had said, but he had no better idea because there was no antidote for the forgotten soul.

“He has hands and feet, he doesn’t need anyone to take care of him.” Leng ruoxue said, slightly annoyed.

“Miss Leng, there is no antidote for the soul-forgetting pill. Moreover, after taking the soul-forgetting pill, it will turn a normal person into a fool. So, it will be very difficult for him to leave people’s side in the future.” Ning haolan explained patiently.

“I want the formula for soul-forgetting,” Leng ruoxue said coldly. Even though ning haolan had said that there was no antidote for the forgotten soul, she still wanted to try and see if she could concoct an antidote. She did not want Ning Shan to turn into an idiot and did not believe that there was no antidote. After all, everything had its counter. The lack of an antidote could only mean that it had not been concocted yet, but it did not mean that it did not exist.

“The formula for soul-forgetting is a secret of the ning family. We won’t give it to anyone.” Ning haolan said helplessly.

“Not to anyone?” Leng ruoxue repeated. Then, she walked to Ning Hai’s side and whispered a few words into his ear before leaving the guest room.

After Leng ruoxue left, Cheng Xuan looked at ning haolan curiously and asked,””Guess what she said to Ning Shan’s brother?”

“Why are you so gossipy?” Ning haolan rolled his eyes at Cheng Xuan and said unhappily. Actually, he didn’t need to guess to know that Leng ruoxue had probably consoled Ning Hai and was now looking for the old ancestor.

“Hehe! I’m just curious!” Cheng Xuan didn’t think much of it and said with a smile.

“Curiosity killed the cat! Just mind your own business, the ning family’s joke isn’t that good. ” Ning haolan warned.

“What, could it be that you want to silence me?” Cheng Xuan’s handsome face was full of provocation, not taking ning haolan’s words seriously at all.

“It’s hard to say,” Ning haolan left the guest room as well.

“Hey! Wait for me, please!” Seeing ning haolan leave, Cheng Xuan quickly chased after him.

On the way back to the competition grounds, Cheng Xuan pestered ning haolan again,””Something happened in the first match, how can you still be in the mood to go back and watch the game? I think you should quickly find the person who framed you and prove your innocence. ”

“Didn’t I already send people to look for him? If I can’t find Ning Wen, there’s no point in me worrying. Besides, I’m not the one who asked Ning Wen to retrieve the forgotten soul. ” Ning haolan’s expression was nonchalant.

“What’s the point of saying that you didn’t ask Ning Wen to get it? If someone really wants to take advantage of this matter, I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths. Let’s see what you can do then. ” Cheng Xuan said gloomily, sigh! Was this considered as the eunuch being anxious when the Emperor was not? Compared to the person in question, he seemed a little unsettled!

“There are so many clansmen in the ning family, not all of them are blind. Besides, there’s still the old forefather! What am I afraid of! Let’s go! Let’s continue watching the match! If there’s another one who poisoned it, we’ll deal with them as well. ” Ning haolan said with a smile.

“You wish. One is already enough to give you a headache. If there’s another one, the ning family will be in chaos!” Cheng Xuan said with a look of disdain. After he finished speaking, the two of them walked into the arena. Even after the competition had ended, they did not see Leng ruoxue.

LAN garden.

Late at night three days later.

Cheng Xuan sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, counting the stars in the sky out of boredom. He would sigh at the calm ning haolan from time to time, but after the nth time, the latter finally spoke up.

“You’ve been sighing the entire night. What do you want?” Ning haolan was a little speechless. Actually, he knew very well why Cheng Xuan was sighing, but he didn’t really want to respond to him, so he could only play dumb.

“Leng ruoxue is missing, the competition is suspended, and Ning Wen is still missing. Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?” Cheng Xuan said gloomily. He had thought that he would be able to watch a good show, but who knew that Leng ruoxue had not appeared again after she left that day. There was no progress in the poisoning incident either. Furthermore, the ning family’s old ancestor had ordered a temporary suspension of the competition. He really did not know what that old man was up to. He was so curious that it was as if a cat lived in his heart, scratching his heart and liver every day.

“What else do you want to do if you don’t stay?” Ning haolan asked with a faint smile. Although the old ancestor did not ask about the poisoning incident, he had ordered the competition to be suspended. The meaning behind it was self-evident. He knew very well that this was all because of Leng ruoxue. He didn’t expect her to have such a position in the old ancestor’s heart. He was a little jealous!

“Go and test your old ancestor’s words! Let’s see what he’s going to do? When will the competition resume?!” Cheng Xuan suggested, but his words caught ning haolan’s attention.

“Young master Cheng, this seems to be my family’s competition, right? We’re not in a hurry, so why are you? What was the saying again? Oh! That’s right, don’t be a busybody! Do you want to be a dog?” Ning haolan could not help but tease.

“If you’re really too bored, I can send a message to your ancestor and tell him that you’re at my house! How is it?” Ning haolan suggested.

“You dare! If you dare to betray me, I will not let you off!” Cheng Xuan’s expression changed as he glared at ning haolan.

“Then, how long do you plan to hide?” Ning haolan raised an eyebrow. The main reason why Cheng Xuan had returned to the ning family with him was to avoid the pursuit of the old ancestor of the Cheng family. That old man had nothing better to do, so he had ideas about the marriage of his junior. Cheng Xuan had been so scared that he didn’t even dare to return home.
