Zhao Ning's question suddenly broke a string in her mind. She said on Liang Ji's behalf, "From the beginning to the end, we told you that you were just brought in from outside. When did we say that you were our own flesh and blood? You are just an abandoned baby sent to you by the great power who gave you three thousand sitting and forgetting ways on a rainy night sixteen years ago. If it weren't for you, how could I, Di'er, be suffering as I am now!"
Liang Ji tried to stop his wife, and Liang Xuandi's eyes trembled.
But Zhao Ning was the only one present who seemed calm.
He just smiled lightly and said, "So that's it."
She turned around, as if about to leave, and Liang Ji shouted, "Zhao Ning! I...I, Liang Ji, have always regarded you as a child of the Liang family."
Zhao Ning paused, turned his face slightly, and left only a few words.
"No need to worry. Zhao Ning will not leave now."
"My eldest brother has been with Zhao Ning for sixteen years, and Zhao Ning will not let him forget about me. My father has raised Zhao Ning for sixteen years, and Zhao Ning will not let his father down."
Sixteen years of family love is actually nothing, just pay back what is due.
Zhao Ning——Never be greedy——
Chapter 346 (bug fix)
The Liang family yard seems to be quiet these days.
Zhao Ning stood by the pond outside the house, holding a small square box in her arms. The box contained birthday and holiday gifts for the past sixteen years.
She stood for a long time, as if she had made some kind of decision. She lowered her head and opened the square box. The box was filled to the brim and filled with light. She only took out two things from it, a secret treasure drawn with ancient thunder patterns and a hidden treasure. Green bamboo, brocade and hairpin.
The green bamboo and brocade hairpin was obtained from the Hairpin Ceremony and was a gift from the gods. Although it seemed ordinary, Zhao Ning had tried it and found that its hidden spiritual power and murderous intent were unmatched by ordinary spiritual treasures.
After taking the two items, Zhao Ning closed the upper box and silently sank the square box into the bottom of the pool. There were ripples on the surface of the pool, and there was a faint spiritual light floating on the surface. Maybe someone passing by would be able to detect something abnormal, but who could Zhao Ning no longer cares about the income.
She returned to the room and sat in front of the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror reflected a clear and tranquil woman, with a complexion as fair as cream, and a red leaf between her eyebrows.
But at this moment, she held the hosta and stabbed it suddenly between her eyebrows. At first, a drop of blood oozed out, and then gurgled out, staining the hosta and her hand red.
The pain spread densely to all sides. It was the pain of a foreign object drilling into the skull. It was completely beyond the limit of ordinary mortal endurance. She could not sit upright in front of the bronze mirror, holding the dressing table with one arm, and her teeth He bit his lip tightly and tried not to make a sound.
The hosta was scratched and an inch of the hole was torn open, and a red leaf fell down. At the same time, the bone-gnawing coldness and the pain of heartburn spread throughout the body. You can feel that some areas on the body surface are burning, which is the reappearance of the birthmark. Performance.
She didn't stop until the red leaves passed by her eyes. She supported the dressing table with both hands to support her body from collapsing and her head hung low.
Blood dripped on the table drop by drop, adding a bit of blood to the red color of the leaves.
Fluorescently smeared, it lay quietly, even if it was forcibly peeled off, it did not affect the efficacy of the Great Chun Leaf in the slightest.
After holding on like this for a long time, Zhao Ning adapted to the pain in her body. She slowly raised her head. The person reflected in the bronze mirror lost its luster. Half of the face was covered with blood, and the other half had dark birthmarks, as if he was neither human nor ghost.
She tried to sit up straight, but failed the first time. The second time, she leaned on the armrest and left the dressing table. She still held the green bamboo and brocade hairpin in her right hand. The blood was touching the murderous intention hidden in it. She rolled up her sleeves and She wiped it bit by bit until the hosta regained its brand new appearance. She looked in the bronze mirror and inserted the hosta into her hair as if she were dressing up normally.
Her eyes reflected in the bronze mirror showed no emotion and no hesitation.
It wasn't until the wound between her eyebrows healed and no more blood oozed out that she stood up, her steps somewhat frivolous, washing, changing clothes, and sweeping to wipe away the blood stains.
Three days are enough for the Liang family to arrange everything.
At the beginning of Yinshi on the fourth day, Zhao Ning got up early, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and applied the juice of ghost leaves and gouache on the birthmark.
The ghost face leaves are the material used to make the elixir. It has a certain transformation effect. When applied on the surface, it can blend with the surrounding skin. However, the leaves are poisonous and need to be refined through the elixir fire to remove the poison. Otherwise, the leaves are poisonous. If it remains on the skin for a long time, it will disfigure the face.
Soon, the birthmark on his face was covered up, and his face turned slightly pale. A red pen drew a red leaf pattern between his eyebrows.
There were footsteps hesitating at the door, but he quickly opened the door.
"Zhao Ning, it's time." Liang Ji's voice sounded.
Zhao Ning walked out of the room, and Liang Ji didn't dare to look at her. Perhaps doing this really made him feel guilty but he had no choice. Zhao Ning walked up to him and handed him a letter, "Please pass it on to me." .”
The envelope says "Dear Liang Xuandi personally".
Liang Ji was startled, then raised his eyes to look at Zhao Ning. The dim light did not reveal the paleness on Zhao Ning's face, "If you have anything to say, dad can help you convey this letter..."
"Just help me deliver it." Zhao Ning smiled, but the smile was not eye-catching. "If you think Zhao Ning will say something that shouldn't be said, you can open it and take a look."
Liang Ji paused, smiled dryly and stuffed the envelope into his sleeve, "Since it's for Di'er, I, as a father, won't read it. I'll take you to the dock first."
Zhao Ning just glanced at him, with a strange meaning in his eyes, as if to say, I hope you'd better be earlier.
But Liang Ji obviously didn't notice, and just walked out with Zhao Ning, slightly hunched over.
Liang Yi and Fang Jiao were already waiting outside. When they saw Zhao Ning approaching obediently, their smiles were obvious. They didn't notice any difference in Zhao Ning's makeup, and even felt that she was even more beautiful.
"The fourth niece is really well-behaved. Don't worry, my uncle will say a few more words for you in front of my grandfather, so that you can come out well in ten years." Liang Yi said.
Zhao Ning seemed to be respectful and bowed slightly, "I hope to see my uncle again in ten years."
These words were probably just a farewell and greeting to Liang Yi. He didn't care much and walked out of the door first. Liang Ji was afraid that Liang Yi would forget the fundamental purpose of his trip, so he trotted up to Liang Yi and said, "Second brother, can you Don’t forget about Na Xin Dan…”
Liang Yi smiled, "Brother, if you are worried, why not go to Xuanyin Island with me?"
When Liang Ji heard this, he hesitated for a while, and finally hesitated, "Forget it, I won't go. I have no cultivation, and I can't say anything if I go."
The two of them were walking and talking, and Fang Jiao whispered instructions in Zhao Ning's ear. The contents of the instructions were nothing more than tricks on how to serve people, which sounded disgusting.
But Zhao Ning didn't move his eyes during the entire process, acting as if he was a puppet resigned to his fate.
When they arrived at the pier, a small spirit boat was already waiting. There were two people standing on the spirit boat, with arrogant attitudes. Fang Ji took two steps forward and called him "cousin". He must be from the main family of the Fang family.
One of them raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ning, "She looks pretty good. No wonder Grandpa and Master Heng agreed, but I don't know how long they can live, hehe -"
Another person laughed teasingly, "They are just mortals without cultivation, just change one for another."
He even raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fang Jiao, "It's better to prepare the next one in advance."
Even when Fang Jiao heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Liang Ji squeezed each other's hands. This was a sign of his patience. But until Zhao Ning followed Liang Yi and his wife to the spirit boat, he still chose to be patient.
He stood on the pier, and the spirit ship was about to set sail. He shouted, "Zhao Ning, don't be afraid, ten years will pass quickly."
Zhao Ning raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes as cold as the cold pond water in autumn.
Liang Ji shivered subconsciously. Thinking about it, he felt that the look in his eyes seemed to bring revenge upon him. But think about it, the venerable man at that time also said that she would be the illegitimate daughter of the Liang family from now on, and even said that it might be several years later. He will die. He has been raised well so far, but now he is just taking the path that a daughter of the Liang family should take.
He suppressed his uneasiness and shouted to Liang Yi again, "Don't forget, second brother——"
The spirit boat went farther and farther and gradually disappeared on the swamp.
Liang Ji sighed and walked back with his hands behind his back. He accidentally bumped into a foundation-building monk who was in a worried mood on the street. He was almost beaten. He relied on his tact as the head of the family to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He wiped the cold sweat from his head. After such a delay, it was already evening when he returned to the Liang family courtyard.
As soon as Liang Ji approached Liang Xuandi's room, Mrs. Liang Ji's voice came, "How is it? Is everything going well? Is that girl still following the arrangements?"
"Four girls want to be docile." Liang Ji said in a muffled voice. He walked to Liang Xuandi's bedside and saw that Liang Xuandi was distracted. He felt that Liang Xuandi had no faith in survival after being hit repeatedly. He was thinking about Zhao Ning again. It was really inappropriate to come here specifically to seek Liang Xuandi's opinion before.
He thought for a moment and called out Liang Xuandi's consciousness, "Dier, Zhao Ning has left. He left you a letter."
Liang Xuandi's eyes showed guilt, surprise and faint expectation. He was wondering whether Zhao Ning chose his suggestion in the end.
He urged Liang Ji with his eyes, and Liang Ji took out the letter from his sleeve pocket. Mrs. Liang Ji glanced at the envelope and said nothing. She probably felt that she had forced the person to this point, and it was nothing more than a letter.
The envelope was opened, and as the letter paper was pulled out, a thin red leaf fell on Liang Xuandi. Liang Xuandi only saw that touch of red, and his eyes widened, but Tongtian Lingbao had already told him in his consciousness that it was Dachun. of leaves.
Zhao Ning obeyed the Liang family's arrangement, but still left the Dachun leaves to him. Why?
Liang Xuandi suddenly didn't understand, but looking at that flash of red, he felt that hope was right in front of him, and he was very excited.
Liang Ji didn't care about the red leaves at first, but Liang Xuandi's eyes were too hot. Just as he was about to pick up the red leaves, he saw something flash past, and the red leaves disappeared. Then, Liang Xuandi's body It emits subtle fluorescence like red leaves.
"Dier?!" Mrs. Liang Ji noticed something strange about Liang Xuandi and shouted nervously and panicked, "What happened? Did that girl use her trust to harm you?"
Liang Ji grabbed the letter and was at a loss for a while, but Liang Xuandi suddenly shook his body. Such shaking had not happened for a long time. The couple were surprised and happy. Soon, Liang Xuandi sat down with a gasp. He got up, moved his hands and feet, looked at his hands, and couldn't believe it, "I... I can really move."
"Dier?! Di'er, that's great!" Mrs. Liang Ji was overjoyed. She threw herself forward and held her son tightly in her arms. Liang Ji even hid her face in relief.
Liang Xuandi hurriedly said, "It wasn't Zhao Ning who harmed me, it was the Great Chun Leaf she left behind that allowed me to move. Dad, Mom, go call Zhao Ning back, there's no need for the Heart Pill!" "
Liang Ji was stunned, "But the Fang family's spirit ship had already sailed away from Ansui Island in the morning. Now it's been five or six hours, and I'm afraid it's about to arrive."
"Eh?!" Liang Xuandi sighed loudly, and rushed out regardless, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he was paralyzed by the decades of confinement and fell directly under the bed.
"Dier, be careful." Mrs. Liang Ji felt distressed, "Let the girl go if she wants to. It's too late now."
Under the operation of Tongtian Lingbao, the power of the ban was absorbed into the Dantian using the leaves of Dachun as a medium. At this moment, he looked like a mortal with no cultivation level to Liang Ji, and it was impossible for him to rush out of Ansui Island directly.
But Liang Xuandi felt something was wrong. Zhao Ning clearly resisted his two proposals that day. Why did he seem to completely comply with those two proposals today? .
Thinking about it this way, he felt more and more strange. He quickly asked Liang Ji, "Where is Zhao Ning's letter?"
The letter that had happened just now had floated under the bed. Liang Xuandi finally reached it out. When he opened it and took a look, his eyes widened.
I saw the letter said——
"Brother: After sixteen years of kindness, Zhao Ning is willing to save you. After that, Zhao Ning and the Liang family have lost all ties. Finally, leave a reminder to the elder brother to leave Ansui Island and the Liang family as soon as possible. Otherwise, everything will be implicated in cause and effect. null."
"She...what does she mean?" Mrs. Liang Ji also saw the handwriting in the letter.
"Does she want to take revenge on the Liang family?" Liang Ji thought of Zhao Ning's eyes when he left, and the coolness in his eyes still chilled his heart.
Mrs. Liang Ji rejected him, "She is just a mortal with no cultivation. How can she take revenge on the entire Liang family? Even if she wants to take advantage of Fang Heng's influence, shouldn't she be grateful to the Liang family for sending her to Fang Heng?"
Liang Xuandi's head seemed to explode at this moment. He held his head and pinched the letter, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
He didn't know this sister very well, but she had always been quiet, and every word she said was not nonsense. Since she said that, there must be some trouble that would involve the Liang family. Could Zhao Ning really want to use Fang Heng's help? Turn the two families against each other?
"No, we still have to leave." Liang Xuandi stood up suddenly. At this moment, he had no cultivation, and his nature of greed for life and fear of death was exposed, "No matter what, we can't stay in the Liang family any longer. I don't have enough cultivation now." We know when we can recover, and we can’t contact the real person from the Neon Sect without relying on the Liang family, but Liang Yi’s insidious villain will never help us, and we may still be expelled from the Liang family in the end.”
"No." Liang Ji did not accept this fact, "After all, they are from the same family."
Liang Xuandi was too lazy to talk to his vain and stupid father. He only asked his mother, "Mom, you are the only one of the three of us who still has some cultivation. Leave quickly, otherwise it may be too late."
"Okay, okay, wherever Di'er wants to go, mother will support you." Mrs. Liang Ji did not hesitate any more.
Then they went to pack their things, and the three of them quietly left the Liang family courtyard under the cover of night. The elders hiding in the courtyard noticed their sneakiness.
"Why did Liang Xuandi stand up?"
"What's the use of standing up? If your cultivation hasn't been restored, you're still just a cripple."
"They want to go wherever they want, even in the middle of the night, without worrying about disturbing the seniors on the island."
"Looking like they are about to run away, I probably guessed that the head of the family has no intention of giving them a chance to make a comeback. Forget it, just leave. It won't affect the Liang family anyway."
"..."
