Chapter 157 Wait for me
Lan Ning sighed, "I've been waiting for you to come back, you must be careful."
In this dream, the two did not spend too much time together. Lan Ning told Ling Yan a lot of things that happened today. She snuggled up to Ling Yan's tail and gently touched his beautiful golden fish tail with her little hand.
She remembered that when they were in Tinglan Palace, Ling Yan didn't like to show his fishtail. There were two times when Lan Ning touched it and he trembled.
Before Lan Ning had time to ask, it was time for her to enter Mengxiang.
Just as the dream faded away, she heard Ling Yan's urgent words, "Be sure to wait for me, I will be back soon!"
[Lingyan Favorability +5, Total Favorability: 85. ]
When Lan Ning opened her eyes, she was no longer in the small corner of the room, but was surrounded by three men.
Lan Ning's heart sank when he met three pairs of worried and concerned eyes.
It’s over, it won’t be exposed!
The story begins after Lan Ning lit the dream incense. Liang Chen, who was sleeping soundly, always liked to hold Lan Ning in his arms to sleep. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with the person in his arms. He hurriedly got up to look for someone. At first, he thought Lan Ning had gone to get some water, but after waiting for a long time, Lan Ning never came back.
Liang Chen thought Lan Ning had run off to find someone else, so he looked around the house and found that the person who was supposed to be sleeping in his arms was lying in an inconspicuous corner of the house, with a puzzling pile of incense ash in front of him.
No smell, no shape, just a pile of ash.
He thought that there was an assassin in their post station, and this was specially prepared for Lan Ning, so he hurriedly carried the person to the bed and took care of him and checked him.
He shouted for a long time, but Lan Ning didn't respond, so he had to call Xuan Mo and the others to see if there was any solution.
After waiting for a long time until Lan Ning woke up, Liang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But did you meet anyone?" Liang Chen asked hurriedly. He had just seen Xuan Mo and the others investigating, and he already knew that the incense ash was definitely not brought by them. It was an imported product, and it was something that Wan Jing didn't have.
He appeared in front of Lan Ning, and she was so deep in sleep that she couldn't be woken up even if she was called.
Anyone who could so boldly sneak into the room they lived in must be someone stronger than them. But I was very confused. Why did he just light a plate of incense in front of Lan Ning?
Weird, really weird.
"I'll go call a doctor." Even though Xuan Mo said there was nothing wrong with Lan Ning's health, he still felt that he should find a doctor.
Liang Chen said this and hurried out, leaving Xuan Mo and Jing Ye with worried looks on their faces.
"Have you really never seen any strange people?" Xuan Mo asked softly. He also found this matter very strange.
This inn was carefully inspected by their people before check-in, not to mention that there were so many wolf masters guarding downstairs, making it extremely difficult to get in.
Besides…if it wasn’t an outsider, then it was Lan Ning himself.
As the person who purchased Lan Ning's personal belongings, Xuan Mo had never seen such a thing before. It had no fragrance and no shape. How did Lan Ning carry it with him?
Xuan Mo couldn't understand it.
"No." Lan Ning finally came back to her senses. After listening to the explanation from Wanmei Xiaoliu, she understood her current situation. Under such circumstances, she certainly could not admit it!
Xuan Mo stared at her for a while and said, "Let's wait for the doctor to come and take a look. I have already sent the incense ash to someone for research."
Go do your research.
Things that come out of the system should not be researched by others.
"Xiao Liu, are you sure the people here can't figure it out?" Lan Ning asked the perfect Xiao Liu, who was as concerned about the situation as she was.
Perfect Xiaoliu: "I can only say that there is no precedent for this."
They are bound to so many hosts, and they are very careful when using items from the system mall. They have never been discovered, let alone found and studied deliberately.
Otherwise, why do people say Xuan Mo is smart?
Perfect Xiaoliu couldn't help but sigh, "Master, remember to pretend to be more convincing. Xuan Mo is very smart..."
Of course Lanning knew.
Just having to face Xuan Mo's suspicious gaze was already a lot of pressure.
She leaned silently in Xuan Mo's arms, not daring to look at his eyes, and waited patiently for Liang Chen to find a doctor. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her body did the three men breathe a sigh of relief.
"But what is that dust?" Liang Chen was still puzzled.
If Xuan Heng was here, he would probably recognize it at the first sight. He had seen Lan Ning light this kind of incense late at night, and its origin was unknown.
But Xuan Heng would not tell anyone else, because he thought it was a secret between him and Lan Ning.
As for what other people think or see...it would be best if Lan Ning dislikes him, then everything will belong to him.
Obviously Xuan Mo also thought of the weirdness of this matter. He lowered his eyes and thought carefully for a moment, then gently rubbed Lan Ning's head. Now she would only show her ears and tail when she was alone with them.
The fluff under his palm was very comfortable and always calmed his restless heart.
He felt that perhaps someone among them knew about this, but just didn't say it out loud.
It’s probably Xuan Heng!
"It's okay, as long as it's harmless." Xuan Mo said slowly, "Rest early, we have to get up early tomorrow to travel."
Lan Ning finally came to his senses. "When did you come back? Why didn't you send someone to inform you?"
Seeing her dazed look, Xuan Mo's depression also dissipated. "I saw that you were asleep, and I couldn't bear to disturb you. But next time, if you want to do something, please let me know in advance. The three of us took turns to wake you up, so we almost carried you to the Xuanmang tribe to find Xuan Heng to try."
Lan Ning knew that this was a joke on her. When they were with her, Xuan Heng and Jing Ye became gentler, Liang Chen and Ling Yan became obedient, and Xuan Mo became more approachable.
Even people would joke with her, even though she was a very serious person before.
"I don't know what happened." Lan Ning had to play dumb.
When faced with something directed at you, the most convenient thing to do is to deny it.
"Reorganize the nearby patrols and guards. Safety is the most important thing." Xuan Mo did not ask any more questions. He had already seen that Lan Ning was deliberately concealing something.
He knew that one day Lanning would be willing to reveal those secrets.
-
Xuan Heng, who was in the Xuanmang clan and was being talked about, felt his cheeks inexplicably hot. He couldn't help but look in the direction of Fuso City. It had been a while since he last saw Lan Ning, but he didn't miss her that much.
How come it’s only been a day and a night, but he feels like... he hasn’t seen Lan Ning for a long time.
It is better to settle the matter here first. The people of the Xuanmang clan are vicious by nature. Don't wait until his little cat comes over and is frightened by this group of rebellious people.
"Tell me, how do you want to die?" Xuan Heng sat on the leader's seat, his pair of vertical golden eyes staring grimly at a row of middle-aged men kneeling below. His words could hardly conceal the murderous intent and indifference, which only made the people kneeling on the ground tremble constantly.
They had done their job so carefully, how could Xuan Heng have discovered it?
If I had known I would do it once and for all... I should have just killed that princess who came out with a sword!
"Xuan Heng, I...we are at least...honorary elders of the Xuanmang tribe. You actually want to kill us for a woman?!"
