Chapter 318 Don't Kill Me
After Jin Fei's explanation, Zhao Mu roughly understood the current situation of Treasure Hall.
Just as he expected, when Ning Qingying returned to the headquarters and announced that Treasure Hall would submit to Saint Prime Devil Sect unconditionally, she was immediately met with resistance from the entire clan.
Ning Qingying's uncle, Ning Kai, had the highest position and power in Treasure Hall. He even publicly announced that if Ning Qingying dared to be stubborn, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Treasure Hall's two major families, Ning Family and Chen Family, one was Ning Qingying's father's generation and the other was her mother's generation. At this moment, they both saw Ning Qingying as a thorn in their flesh and would not allow Ning Qingying to cut off their source of income.
But in reality, Zhenbao Hall was built by Ning Qingying's parents and didn't use any of their family's resources. To put it bluntly, these relatives were only there to manage Zhenbao Hall before Ning Qingying grew up. But now, they seemed to have forgotten their status and wanted to take over Zhenbao Hall completely.
During this period of time, Ning Qingying had been staying at the headquarters of Treasure Hall. Although she was under the nose of Inverted Hanging Mountain and the Ning Family and Chen Family couldn't be too ruthless, the little tricks in the dark had never stopped.
Ning Qingying was just a little girl in the Soul Formation Stage. How could she stop them? If it was not for Jin Fei's protection, she would have died many times over.
Perhaps because they sensed that Ning Qingying had an expert backing her, the Ning Clan and Chen Clan didn't dare to make a move on Ning Qingying directly. Instead, they took a different approach and arranged a marriage for Ning Qingying, marrying her to the son of the seventh elder of the Hanging Mountain.
They wanted to use this method to chase Ning Qingying out of Treasure Hall.
Marrying into the Inverted Hanging Mountain Elder's sect seemed to be a good way out, but everyone in the Inverted Hanging Mountain knew that the Seventh Elder's son, Su Run, was a completely dissolute hedonist. He had a large number of wives and concubines at home, and he ate both men and women. He even raised dozens of male pets. If she married him, who knew how she would be played.
Now, the wedding procession was on the way. Ning Qingying would rather die than obey, but her movements were already restricted. Although Jin Fei could help her escape, once she left Zhen Bao Hall, it meant that the enemy's evil plan had succeeded. So unless it was absolutely necessary, she wouldn't leave Zhen Bao Hall.
Moreover, today was the day she and Zhao Mu had agreed to meet. Ning Qingying would definitely stay in Treasure Hall to wait for Zhao Mu to appear.
She had placed all her hopes on Zhao Mu.
"They're just a bunch of clowns. They don't have much strength, but they have a lot of skills."
Zhao Mu snorted coldly and had Jin Fei lead the way to the headquarters of Treasure Hall.
On the main road of Dongxuan City, outside a magnificent circular building, there were already many teams waiting to pick up the bride.
"Not marrying?
It's not up to you today! "
A shout came from the Treasure Hall.
Ning Kai looked at his niece whose face was filled with determination and coldly said, "The betrothal gift from the Su Family has already been sent. Su Run is the son of the Seventh Elder. Marrying him is your fortune. I advise you not to fail to appreciate his kindness. If you make Young Master Su wait impatiently, the entire Treasure Hall will be in trouble."
Ning Qingying sat alone in front of the table and didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. She continued to look through the account book and list.
"Uncle, my father treated you well in the past. Do you really insist on biting the hand that feeds you?"
"Qingying, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just thinking for your sake. Your cultivation is too weak and you're too young. You're too easily deceived. Is the Saint Prime Devil Sect a proper sect?
The Devil Sect is a place where demons and devils gather. If you insist on merging the Treasure Hall into the Devil Sect, you'll be harming the entire clan. "
"Although Young Master Su Run is a bit of a playboy, that was in the past. Now, he's restrained himself and focused on cultivating under the Seventh Elder. Sooner or later, he'll be able to inherit the Seventh Elder's mantle. As long as you perform well, you might have a chance to become the Madam Elder. When that time comes, you'll understand Uncle's good intentions!"
Ning Kai said with great emotion. Those who didn't know would really think that he was thinking for Ning Qingying's future.
But Ning Qingying was unmoved.
She had seen enough of this family's faces.
"No matter what you say, I'm not going to step out of this door today. You'd better give up."
Ning Kai frowned and was about to explode.
But at this moment, a frivolous voice came from outside the door.
"My little girl, it's not up to you to decide whether you want to marry me or not. As long as it's a woman that I, Su Run, like, no one can escape from my palm, and you are no exception."
The person who came was Su Run, the son of the Seventh Elder of the Inverted Hanging Mountain.
He leaned against the door with a playful face. He was quite handsome, but his eyes were sinister and fierce, as if he might lose his mind at any time.
Ning Kai didn't dare to be careless in front of Su Run. He quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Young Master Su, don't worry. I will help you persuade Qingying. It's her blessing to be able to marry Young Master Su. I don't think she doesn't understand."
"Old thing, you disappoint me. It's a waste of time to dawdle. Let's just consummate our marriage on the spot. As long as I get her body, I naturally have a hundred ways to capture her heart." Su Run said with a grim smile, shaking his head as he walked towards Ning Qingying step by step.
Ning Kai didn't expect Su Run to be so arrogant and domineering. For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still cooperated and walked out of the room. He even put a layer of restriction formation on the door.
Ning Qingying looked at Su Run who was walking towards her. There was no panic on her face. She just said coldly, "With the intelligence ability of the Inverted Hanging Mountain, you should know who the man behind me is. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?"
Su Run couldn't stop laughing.
"What's there to be afraid of? The Devil's Sect is just an unrated sect in the eyes of the Inverted Hanging Mountain. What's more, Zhao Mu is just a gigolo who lives off women. Even if he appears in front of me now, he won't dare to touch a single hair of mine."
"A gigolo who lives off women … Haha, so this is the outside world's evaluation of me?"
Without warning, a figure appeared in the room.
Su Run turned pale with fright. He subconsciously wanted to call for help, but before he could open his mouth, a big hand grabbed his neck tightly and lifted him up in the air. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free at all. After a while, his face turned red, and his eyeballs bulged out as if they would explode at any time.
Su Run's strength was not weak. He had the cultivation of the late stage of the Voiding Realm, but his cultivation was forcibly instilled by medicinal pills. He could not be compared with Zhao Mu, who had been tempered thousands of times.
In Zhao Mu's hands, he was no better than a noob.
"Young master!"
Although Ning Qingying had guessed that Zhao Mu would definitely appear, the moment she saw him, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Boom!
Two black shadows broke through the door and rushed in.
They were two Body Integration cultivators!
"Protect the young master!"
The two of them surrounded Zhao Mu at the same time. Their spiritual power rumbled, and their supernatural powers were powerful. They were both experts.
However, he could only be considered an ordinary expert.
Before they could get close, a stream of light flashed past and sent them flying back the way they came.
Jin Fei made her move.
Su Run just saw a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed in an instant. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"Don't kill me, you'll regret it!"
