CHAPTER 2148: CHAPTER 2148
Is it that simple?
For the past few days, the people of the Zhao Mansion all had a worried look on their faces. There were many guards present that day. Even though the Chief Steward had ordered them not to talk about what happened that day in private, they still couldn't prevent the news from spreading. Almost the next day, the servants of the Zhao Mansion, the madams, and Zhao Zhuo's younger brothers all knew about what happened. Even the Old Master, who had long been indifferent to worldly affairs, was alarmed. He personally went to see Zhao Zhuo. Some people saw the Old Master leave with a worried look on his face.
"Is that person in Doctor Ding's yard?"
"It should be. I heard that Doctor Ding cured his injury."
"Well, who has a good relationship with Doctor Ding, go and visit him? I heard that even the chief steward is no match for that person. If we can be apprenticed to him, we won't have to be servants anymore! "
"Don't even think about it. We are servants. Even if he wants to take us as apprentices, he won't look at us. Shh, keep your voice down. Eldest Miss is here!"
Several servants who passed by the gate stood respectfully and lowered their heads. Zhao Ruo walked past them with Xiao Li and finally stopped at the gate of Ding Feng's yard.
Because they were in the Zhao Mansion, there were no gates at the entrance of the courtyard, so they could clearly see what was going on in the courtyard. Zhao Ruo and Xiao Li saw Ning Qi practicing boxing in the courtyard at a glance, while Ding Feng stood at the side and imitated him.
"He is practicing boxing …"
Zhao Ruo was slightly startled and then wanted to turn and leave. At this time, Ding Feng saw the two girls and quickly came forward to greet them. "Ding Feng greets Eldest Miss and Miss Xiao Li."
"Young Master Bei Xuan is practicing boxing. I will come back later."
Zhao Ruo smiled.
"It's okay. Young Master Bei Xuan doesn't mind people watching him practice boxing. Eldest Miss and Miss Xiao Li, please come in."
Ding Feng said quickly.
Zhao Ruo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked into the yard with Xiao Li. The two girls stood at the side and waited for about half an hour before Ning Qi stopped practicing.
"Can such a slow punch kill someone?"
Xiao Li was also a martial artist, and a martial artist at the first stage of the Bone Forging Realm. But she couldn't understand the mystery of Ning Qi's boxing.
"Miss Zhao Ruo, have you thought it through?"
Ning Qi looked at Zhao Ruo and smiled.
Zhao Ruo stepped forward with Xiao Li and bowed. Then she nodded and said in a low voice, "Childe Beixuan, I have already thought it through, but …"
"Just say it, don't have any misgivings."
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
Zhao Ruo hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "My request is … to make the Zhao Family the strongest family in Tian Long Kingdom …"
Ding Feng stared dumbfoundedly at Zhao Ruo. This request seemed a little too much.
In reality, this was the only request Zhao Ruo could think of. If her father wanted her to keep Ning Qi in the Zhao Mansion, there were two ways. The first was for her to marry Ning Qi. However, Zhao Ruo and Ning Qi were not close, so she couldn't bring herself to ask for it.
Therefore, making the Zhao Family the strongest family in Sky Dragon Country was exactly what Zhao Zhuo wanted. With the Zhao Family's strength, it was extremely difficult to become the strongest family in Sky Dragon Country. Even if this Young Master Bei Xuan was a True Energy Realm master, he might not be able to do it. Therefore, before the request was fulfilled, Zhao Zhuo could only stay in the Zhao Mansion.
After saying this request, Zhao Ruo was a little nervous. If the other party just said it casually, this request might drive him away.
Xiao Li and Zhao Ruo were equally nervous. If Ning Qi left the Zhao Mansion in a fit of anger, then the Zhao Mansion would have to face the anger of the Hidden Cloud Sect. At that time, even if they could push all the blame onto Ning Qi, the Zhao Mansion would inevitably suffer a great loss!
"That simple?"
Ning Qi looked at Zhao Ruo with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"This little girl also knows that this request is a little difficult, but …"
Wait?
What did Young Master Bei Xuan just say?
Zhao Ruo, Xiao Li, and Ding Feng stared at Ning Qi with their mouths agape.
"Young Master Bei Xuan, did you just say that … this request is very simple?"
Zhao Ruo said in disbelief, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
"En, this request is indeed not difficult. If you have decided, then so be it."
Ning Qi smiled.
If the other party wanted to ask for immortality, Ning Qi could grant it. The strongest cultivators here were only at the fifth rank of Qi Refinement. With this kind of cultivation, they would only have a lifespan of one to two hundred years. As long as they broke through to the Battle Dan Realm, their lifespan would be at least tens of thousands of years. To them, it was no different from immortality.
Zhao Ruo and Xiao Li left Ding Feng's courtyard in a daze and went to Zhao Zhuo's courtyard. Zhao Zhuo, the first madam, the second madam, the third madam, Zhao Zhuo's younger brothers, the chief steward, and Zhao Ruo's cousins were all gathered here. Seeing Zhao Ruo and Xiao Li return, everyone's faces revealed a trace of anticipation as they looked at the two girls.
"Ruo 'er, what did he say?"
Zhao Zhuo was the calmest and asked.
Zhao Ruo looked at Zhao Zhuo. She wasn't sure what to say. Ning Qi's indifferent attitude made Zhao Ruo feel a little worried. What kind of existence would say that making the Zhao Family the number one family in Sky Dragon Country was a simple matter? If the other party was really that strong, how could he have been injured so badly in the past? Even a Xiantian Realm expert wouldn't dare to boast like this.
When everyone saw Zhao Ruo's expression, their hearts sank. Many people who didn't see Ning Qi make a move with their own eyes revealed a trace of mockery as they looked at Zhao Zhuo.
"Did he … go back on his words?"
Zhao Zhuo said in a low voice.
"Big Brother, it's normal to go back on his words. He killed the Hidden Cloud Sect's Black and White Elders and didn't escape. Even if he is brave, he still said that he would agree to any of Ruo 'er's requests. This is complete bullshit!"
Zhao Zhuo's second brother, Zhao Yue, sneered.
The others nodded in agreement. The second madam's face revealed a trace of fear. She looked at Zhao Zhuo and said, "Master, a few days have passed. The Hidden Cloud Sect's people are probably on their way. What should we do?"
"Why don't we hand him over?"
The third madam suddenly said.
"You are mistaken. Young Master Beixuan has already agreed to my request."
Zhao Ruo said in a low voice.
When she said this, everyone's expression became even more strange.
Zhao Zhuo's face revealed a trace of joy, "He is willing to marry into our Zhao Family?"
A True Element Realm expert marrying into the Zhao Family was a great thing for the Zhao Family. Even if they offended the Hidden Cloud Sect, it didn't matter!
Zhao Yue and the others were slightly shocked. They looked at Zhao Zhuo and then at Zhao Ruo with strange expressions. His big brother was actually planning this?
"Father, you misunderstood. My request is not this."
Zhao Ruo said in a low voice.
Zhao Zhuo was startled. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "Ruo 'er, you are muddle-headed."
"Family Head, perhaps the young miss has her own ideas."
