Chapter 466: Grieved Master Ning (2)
But he didn't expect that it was still dug out...
The master had an urge to cry. If the little girl were not the disciple of Yun Luofeng, he would have rushed forward and strangled her!
"The quality of the tea is not good," Yun Luofeng said and handed the teacup to Lin Ruobai. "Get rid of it."
The corner of the master's mouth twitched! How dare the woman say the quality of his precious stash was not good! Did she really know tea?
"Yes, Master." Lin Ruobai smiled cutely, "Among the teas I found in the Ning Family, only this one was not that bad and the remaining are even worse."
"It seems that the Ning Family is really poor and only has teas of such a quality. I will give Elder Ning some good tea some other day." Yun Luofeng said unconcernedly.
Elder Ning was one of the few people on this Continent who truly cared for her, so she wouldn't be stingy with the old man. When she met Elder Ning next time, she would give him some spiritual tea.
The master sniffed at Yun Luofeng's words, not believing that Yun Luofeng could have a tea better than his, let alone one that would satisfy his father who was so picky concerning tea. However, his father would probably accept her tea just not to hurt her feelings.
"First Elder," the master turned to First Elder and said, "Take Fourth Elder away, and I'll punish him when my father comes back."
Yun Luofeng raised the corners of her lips. She said that when Ning Xin woke up, her second uncle would punish Fourth Elder, but the master said he would deal with the fourth elder when his father came back...
Unfortunately, whether Elder Ning came back or not, no one could change her mind!
Fourth Elder must die!
"Yes, Master." First Elder made an obeisance, waved his hand and ordered coldly, "Guards, lock him up, closely guard him and don't let him run away!"
"Yes sir!"
...
In the hall, when the master was talking with First Elder, an angry voice was heard from outside.
"Get out of the way! You all get out of my way! I want to see Master. What did my father do wrong? Why did you treat him like this?"
"It's Ning Yuan."
Hearing the familiar voice from outside, First Elder frowned and reported to the master in a low voice.
"Let him in." The master sighed and helplessly ordered.
Not long after, a good-looking young man walked quickly into the hall. He hurled a series of questions at the middle-aged man as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes glaring at the two persons in front.
"Master, you must give me a reason! How can you treat my father like this when the old master is not home? Have you forgotten that my father has been loyally serving the Ning Family for so many years?"
The master of the Ning Family frowned slightly, "Ning Yuan, your father made a terrible mistake this time. There's nothing I can do. I asked him to take Ning Xin back, but he injured innocent people. Now his victim has come here for him, what can I do?"
"Master, this is Ning Family. Who dares to disobey your orders?"
Ning Yuan was shaking with anger, gnashing his teeth.
The face of Master of the Ning Family turned sullen. "Ning Yuan, that girl has saved Xin'er's life. Besides, she has the old master's jade pendant in her hand, so she absolutely has authority in the Ning Family."
To Ning Yuan, Master of the Ning Family used to appreciate him a lot.
Though he was a little bit unruly, he was quite talented and truly loved Ning Xin. Most importantly, the boy didn't have any love affairs all these years and the worst thing he had done was to get into fights with people.

Chapter 467: Ning Yuan
Ning Yuan
He believed that if Ning Xin married this boy, he would never let her suffer any grievance.
However...
It wasn't until he met Yun Luofeng that he knew what a real genius was!
Unfortunately, the Yun Family was too weak, or else he would like to marry Ning Xin to Yun Qingya! But the Yun Family had no absolute right, so he finally dropped the idea. His daughter must have a powerful force behind her! Ning Yuan's father was an elder of the Ning Family and was also a sky-level spirit cultivator, so Ning Yuan was qualified to marry Ning Xin.
But now it was different.
Ning Yuan's father had made such a mistake, and his father would not allow Ning Xin to marry him anymore...so he had to find someone else for Ning Xin.
"Master, the Yun Family is nothing! How can they have the old master's jade pendant? She must have stolen it from the old master! As for Yun Qingya, he harbors ill intentions towards Ning Xin! Master, I request you to expel these people out of the Ning Family!"
Stolen?
The face of the Master of the Ning Family darkened, "Ning Yuan, who do you think my father is? Though Yun Luofeng is a genius, she is not able to steal anything from my father! If she was, wouldn't it be a big disgrace for my father? Alright, shut up and get out of here, or else I'll punish you as well!"
Ning Yuan shook in despair, gave Master of the Ning Family a black look, and turned around to walk out.
At the moment he turned around, a line of tears ran down from his eyes, and he clenched his fists placed on either side of his body.
Ning Xin...
Now, as soon as he thought of the name, he was heartbroken! He couldn't extricate himself from the pain. He didn't understand why Ning Xin never put him in her eyes after he had done so much for her and had guarded her for so many years. Instead, she was enchanted by that bastard, Yun Qingya!
No!
I must not let anyone take Ning Xin! Never!
Ning Yuan's eyes gradually turned determined. To get Ning Xin, he could do anything!
Bang!
Ning Yuan, who was filled with wild thoughts, didn't see a lovely figure in front of him and bumped into her. With a thud, he drew back two steps.
"Are you blind? How dare you bump into me!" Ning Yuan was angry, glaring at the person in front of him, a cold light in his eyes...
It was a lovely young girl with fair and delicate skin. Her skin was so lustrous that one would want to come up and kiss it. Her eyes were clear and as bright as stars. A surprised look flickered through Ning Yuan's eyes. Such a beautiful girl was really rare to see, but he already had Ning Xin in his heart, so he would not look at any other woman except her.
"Who are you?" Lin Ruobai rubbed her bumped forehead, an angry look on her little face.
"Humph! This question should be asked by me! Who let you enter the Ning Family! I'll have you thrown out if you don't tell me who you are!"
Normally Ning Yuan would not have bothered to quarrel with a woman, but today he was in a bad mood and really wanted to fight with someone to vent his anger. This silly girl was simply courting death by bumping into him!
Bang!
Lin Ruobai kicked at the crotch of Ning Yuan, and soon a shrill cry spread throughout the courtyard of the Ning Family. Since Ning Yuan had just come back to the Ning Family, he didn't know Lin Ruobai, nor did he know that the little girl and Yun Luofeng were together.
"Rotten girl, how dare you kick me!" With a distorted face, Ning Yuan roared ferociously, "If my manhood is affected, I will disable you!"
.
.
.
Chapter 468: Xiao Bai Got Angry
Since he was born, no one dared to treat him like this. He would avenge himself anyway!
"Yes, I kicked you, so what!" Lin Ruobai, with arms akimbo, raised her head high. "And, remember, I didn't sneak in but fought my way in with my master!"
"Master?" Ning Yuan was amazed. "Your master is..."
Lin Ruobai snorted, "My master is Yun Luofeng."
Yun Luofeng...
This name, like a big hammer, hit Ning Yuan's heart. His face turned even more distorted and he growled, "So you're Yun Luofeng's disciple! Great! I'll kill you to avenge my father!" With these words, Ning Yuan jumped toward Lin Ruobai, his body as fast as a flash of lightning.
Lin Ruobai was obviously startled and hurried to dodge his attack.
Was this guy crazy? Why did he want to kill her? And he said he was going to avenge his father?
All of a sudden, Lin Ruobai realized who he was and her face quickly darkened, "Are you Fourth Elder's son? Well, I was going to look for you, and you just came up to me! Milk Tea, bite him!"
"Squeak!"
Milk Tea jumped out from nowhere and bit into Ning Yuan's shoulder, his sharp teeth going deep through the skin of Ning Yuan.
"Ah!!! "
Ning Yuan screamed and grabbed at the hamster on his shoulder, intending to squeeze the little hamster into a meat pie. However, at the moment he lifted his hand, he clearly saw the contempt in the eyes of the hamster...
Dammit! Even a gold-seeking hamster would despise him now?! Then he would let it know what he was capable of!
Bang!
Ning Yuan slapped hard at his own shoulder, and it soon turned black and blue. However, when he lifted his hand, he found that the little hamster had disappeared.
"Squeak!"
A squeak came from in front of him, like a sneer at him. Ning Yuan got even angrier and resentfully turned his eyes to the front...
At this moment, Milk Tea was lying comfortably on a fallen leaf on the ground. With his small paw pointing at Ning Yuan, he squeaked at Lin Ruobai.
"Got it!" Lin Ruobai understood the meaning of Milk Tea, shouted out loud and kicked at Ning Yuan, "Hey, taste 'Xiao Bai's Jump Kick'!"
Ning Yuan was stunned and retreated quickly. However, Xiao Bai's speed was so fast that Ning Yuan didn't have the time to dodge it and got kicked hard right in the face. With a loud thud, Ning Yuan's body quickly flew out, with a clear footprint on his face telling people what he had suffered just now...
"How dare you harass my master's second aunt!" Lin Ruobai jumped up and landed on Ning Yuan's body, head up proudly. "Do you still dare to covet my master's aunt?"
Ning Yuan vomited a mouthful of blood, clenched his teeth and struggled to utter a few words.
"You are... damn heavy!"
Hearing his words, Lin Ruobai was completely enraged, her little fists hitting at Ning Yuan's face like raindrops, her cute little face ferocious.
"How dare you insult me?! I only weigh... about eighty pounds."
When speaking the last sentence, Lin Ruobai didn't sound quite confident, and in order to conceal this, her little fists hit at Ning Yuan again.

Chapter 469:- Tragic Ning Yuan
Ning Yuan grabbed the ground under his body and his fingernails filled with dirt. At this moment, he felt like his body was going to be crushed, and his swollen cheeks really hurt.
"Darn girl, stop it!"
He shouted angrily, "I am a disciple of the Ning Family, and my father is an elder of the Ning Family. The Ning Family will make you pay for treating me like this!"
"Tut, even your father was defeated by my master. What makes you believe you are so important?" Lin Ruobai's face lit up with a bright smile.
She smiled like a devil. Seeing her smile, Ning Yuan felt that his heart couldn't help but tremble.
With his face badly beaten by Lin Ruobai, Ning Yuan shuddered and lisped, "Rotten girl, you just wait! One day, I'm going to hang you and your master up and beat you to death!"
"Hey, don't you think you're really something? But you can't even beat me. Now do you know what you are really capable of? You know what, my master's strength is way better than mine. What makes you believe you can do that to my master?"
Thud!
Lin Ruobai's little fist collided with Ning Yuan's face once again, and with this punch, Ning Yuan felt dizzy and saw stars.
And then...
A little hand grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground.
"Go see my master with me!"
...
Inside the room.
Yun Luofeng was sitting upright on the bed, her eyes closed and her legs crossed. After quite a while, she opened her eyes and exhaled a deep breath. "When I was treating Xiao Bai, the spiritual energy I absorbed improved my strength to the peak of an earth-level intermediate-rank spirit cultivator and I was only one step away from earth-level advanced-rank spirit cultivator. To my surprise, after coming to the Ning Family, I had an opportunity for a breakthrough, and finally had a rise in rank."
From her soul, the cute voice of Xiao Mo rang, "Master, you can take holy water now. With that holy water, you can directly become a sky-level spirit cultivator."
The holy water he mentioned was extorted by Yun Luofeng from Xiao Bai's father in the Spirit Domain! The holy water couldn't only help an earth-level spirit cultivator make a breakthrough, but could also strengthen the body of the user!
Yun Luofeng didn't take the holy water before because she was waiting to become an earth-level advanced-rank spirit cultivator! After that, with the help of the holy water, she could directly become a sky-level spirit cultivator.
"Okay." Yun Luofeng nodded slightly and just when she was going to take out the holy water, the door was kicked open with a bang.
Lin Ruobai, dragging a young man, walked in from outside the door and flung him in front of Yun Luofeng.
"Master, this guy is the son of Fourth Elder!" As if taking credit for her achievements, Lin Ruobai proudly walked to Yun Luofeng, her haughty eyes glanced at the bruised-faced young man on the ground and she snorted, "Unfortunately, he bumped into me. I'd like to see whether he dares to behave like that again." An angry look appeared on Lin Ruobai's little face at the thought of what the young man had just said, and she kicked him when she walked past.
Cough!
Ning Yuan coughed and looked up angrily at Yun Luofeng, "If it hadn't been for Yun Qingya, Ning Xin would have married me! It is your Yun Family that took my fiancée away. You're my mortal enemy!"
Hearing this, Yun Luofeng stood up from the bed, looking at him quietly with her dark eyes.

Chapter 470: Someone Came and Sought A Marriage Alliance (1)
"Are you sure... that without my second uncle, Ning Xin would marry you?"
The girl's words, like a splinter, stuck into his heart, and in a moment it was as though his broken heart had a big aching and bleeding hole.
She was right! Even without Yun Qingya, Ning Xin did not like him! Otherwise, they grew up together, so why could Yun Qingya, who just appeared not long ago, steal her heart? However, even though Ning Yuan had known this, he didn't want his wound to be torn open like this!
"Haha," he sneered, with a contemptuous smile, "Even if Xin'er doesn't like me, so what? As long as Master issues the order, she will have to marry me anyway! Do you think Master will establish a marriage alliance with the Yun Family? No! You are wrong, even though you've saved Xin'er's life, Master will not allow her to marry Yun Qingya."
The difference between Master and the old master was that the old master valued personal feelings too much, while Master always kept the overall interests of the Ning Family in mind! If he had other children, perhaps he wouldn't mind Ning Xin choosing Yun Qingya to be her husband, but Ning Xin was his only daughter, so for the sake of the Ning Family, he would never allow Ning Xin to marry Yun Qingya!
The Yun Family was so weak that they even didn't have a sky-level spirit cultivator! They couldn't even have a place on this continent, so how would the Ning Family choose to establish a marriage alliance with them?
"Yun Luofeng, don't blame us. It's just that you are too weak! Hahaha!"
Seeing the young girl slightly narrowed her eyes, Ning Yuan laughed, "I admit that you're quite talented, but you are still not a sky-level spirit cultivator. There are too many strong people on the continent. If you are not a sky-level spirit cultivator, any power can kill you! Since your Yun Family doesn't even have a sky-level spirit cultivator, what makes you believe Master will give you Ning Xin?" Ning Yuan's face turned ferocious, his voice filled with resentment.
Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes and glanced at Ning Yuan, "As long as Ning Xin is willing to go with me, no one can stop her!" She meant that if Ning Xin was willing to leave with her, she would surely take her away, and no one could stop her!
"You're mad!" Ning Yuan snorted, a contemptuous look flickering through his eyes, "Yun Luofeng, I know the old master will shield you, but he also has someone he worships."
"The man he worships is Godly Doctor Tian Ya..."
When it came to the name, the contemptuous look in Ning Yuan's eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced with reverence.
And then under the sarcastic gaze of Yun Luofeng, he continued, "When I traveled outside this time, I met a young man who is from the Tian Family and called Tian Lin. We felt like old friends at the first meeting and became sworn brothers. I told him about Ning Xin and he also appreciated Ning Xin a lot! When we heard that Ning Xin was injured, I returned to the Ning Family first, and he said he would also come here soon! And he had promised me he would ask Godly Doctor Tian Ya to treat Ning Xin!"
"If I could have invited Godly Doctor Tian Ya to treat Ning Xin, I would have greatly impressed the people of the Ning Family, and if Ning Xin were cured by Tian Ya, Ning Xin might have fallen in love with me! But I didn't expect that you would move more quickly!"
Ning Yuan said resentfully, "But it doesn't matter. When my brother comes, he will help me get Ning Xin! The old master admires Godly Doctor Tian Ya so much. If Godly Doctor is willing to speak for me, do you think the old master will still stand by your side?"

Chapter 471: Someone Came and Sought A Marriage Alliance (2)
Yun Luofeng glanced at Ning Yuan and raised the corner of her lips. "The people of the Tian Family? It seems that wherever I go, I meet the people of the Tian Family! Milk Tea, guard him and don't let him run away before Ning Xin wakes up."
"Squeak!" Milk Tea nodded vigorously. He would meticulously finish any task Master had given him.
Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes. "Xiao Bai, let's go, I want to meet Master Ning and discuss Ning Xin with him." By this time, Ning Xin must have awakened, and it was time for her to finish the matter with the Ning Family.
...
"Master, Master!"
In the study filled with the fragrance of books, Master Ning was browsing through the book in his hand. Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the door, and without waiting for his answer, a servant directly came in.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered? Did something happen again?" Master Ning asked sharply, frowning.
The servant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reported carefully, "Master, some people of the Tian Family have come and asked to meet you."
"The Tian Family? You mean Tian Ya's Tian Family?" Master Ning paused for a moment, with a gleam of joy in his eyes. "Have they said why they came here?"
The servant carefully glanced at Master Ning, "It's Young Master Tian Lin of the Tian Family... He came here to seek a marriage alliance."
Seek a marriage alliance?
Master Ning was stunned and frowned, "And he wants to propose to..."
"Miss Ning Xin!
"What?"
Hearing the servant's words, Master Ning was completely shocked. He didn't know when Ning Xin had met the people of the Tian Family. Master Ning would have gladly accepted this if it were before. But now, with Yun Luofeng here, he had to carefully think about it.
As a matter of fact, Master Ning had never thought of marrying Ning Xin to Yun Qingya. However, Ning Xin had been cured by Yun Luofeng. If he married Ning Xin to someone else at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to face Yun Luofeng again...
"Now it's getting complicated," said Master Ning, rubbing his temple with a headache, "It would not be so complicated if Yun Luofeng weren't here, but she's still in the Ning Family. I don't know how to tell her this."
"Master," the servant looked at Master Ning timidly, "I don't know if I should say something?"
"Just say it."
"Well, Master, you don't have to feel embarrassed or guilty to the people of the Yun Family for marrying Miss to someone else. The Ning Family didn't do anything wrong. Even though Yun Luofeng has cured Miss, so what? Without the Yun Family, Miss would not have been hurt!"
The servant's words made Master Ning feel better. He nodded, "Yes, your analysis is quite right. What's your name? Go to the housekeeper and ask him to give you an award later."
"Thank you, Master." The servant was quite happy and hurriedly knelt down to thank Master Ning respectfully.
"Lead the way. I'm going to meet the people of the Tian Family."
Master Ning smiled. The servant's words were quite right! Since Ning Xin was injured while protecting Yun Qingya, it was Yun Luofeng's responsibility to save her life. He needn't feel obligated to the Yun Family! It was all because the Yun Family was so weak that they didn't even have a sky-level spirit cultivator!
At this moment, in the hall, a few guards stood respectfully with some betrothal gift boxes, and a young man and a young woman sat, quietly drinking some tea.
.

Chapter 472: Ning Xin Had Awakened
If Yun Luofeng was here, she would instantly recognize that the woman sitting there was Tian Ke, who went to the Imperial Family of the Long Yuan Kingdom to take Mu Wushuang away. The man next to her was not the cool and sedate Tian Yu, but someone else who looked a little bit like her!
Just then, seeing the middle-aged man coming from the hall, they slowly stood up.
"Master Ning."
Tian Ke smiled, "This time, I am here on behalf of my brother Tian Lin! It's said that as a noble lady from a respectable family, the heiress of the Ning Family, Ning Xin, is talented, elegant, beautiful and sweet-tempered, so my brother fell in love with her ever since he heard about Ning Xin! We came here to seek a marriage alliance with the Ning Family, and from now on, the Ning Family and the Tian Family will be one family."
"Haha," Master Ning laughed cheerfully, and looked at Tian Lin with a mild look, "I've also heard of Young Master Tian Lin, who ranks second among the young generation of the Tian Family. It would be an honor for Xin'er if she could have such a husband. I agree to this marriage."
"I don't agree!"
Hardly had his voice faded away when an angry voice came through the door, and after hearing the voice, Master Ning was shocked and then gave a smile of joy. He turned his eyes to the door, and a young girl, standing while holding the doorframe, came into his sight.
At the same time, Tian Lin was also looking at the girl standing at the door with an obsessed look in his eyes. The girl's face was still pale, but everyone could tell she was a beautiful girl. Though she was frowning, he was immediately attracted to her as though a finger had strummed his heartstrings.
Ever since Ning Yuan told him about Ning Xin, he became interested in the girl, and after Ning Yuan bragged about her and showed him Ning Xin's portrait, he had totally fallen in love with this girl. So when he heard that Ning Yuan was going back to the Ning Family, he asked Ning Yuan to go first, and he went back to the Tian Family to prepare the betrothal gifts...
"Xin 'er!" Master Ning strode forward, quickly supported the girl, his eyes brimming with joy, "You've awakened? That's great. You've finally recovered. You scared the heck out of your dad this time."
"Let go of me! Ning Xin pushed hard and pushed the man away from her, a disappointed look in her crystal-clear eyes. "Dad, does grandfather know that you're doing this to me?"
When she woke up, she found no one beside her. Then she called the maid and found out that Yun Luofeng had saved her life, and Yun Qingya had been accompanying her sleeplessly for many days! But Yun Qingya was in the bathroom when she woke up, so she didn't see him. While she was waiting for Yun Qingya, she heard the discussion of the little maids outside the door that someone of the Tian Family came to propose to her! So she hurriedly came here alone to refuse this marriage!
"Xin'er, I'm doing it for your own good." Master Ning frowned, "The Tian Family is Tian Ya's Family. If you are married to someone of the Tian Family, you'll become a blood relative of Tian Ya. Even your grandfather won't object to such a marriage after he knows about it!"
"For my own good? No, you're just doing it for the Ning Family!" Ning Xin tightly clenched her fist, her pale little face stubborn. "If grandfather were here, he would let me decide my own marriage and would never force me to marry a person I don't love! If you weren't so indecisive, how could my mom have been killed?"
.
.

Chapter 473: Ning Xin Was Slapped
Smack!
A clear sound rang in the hall, and the whole hall fell into an eerie silence because of this sound.
The hall was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere.
"Xin'er..." Master Ning looked at his own hand and turned his eyes to Ning Xin whose cheek was turning red. A chagrined and grieved look appearing in his eyes, "I just... "
"Did I say anything wrong?" Ning Xin gave him a mocking smile, and her messy hair scattered on the cheek and covered the red handprint on her face. "It was because of your vacillation that my mother was killed by other women! Even though you dismissed your concubines in the end, so what? My mother will never come back! You say you do it for my own good, but you never care about what I want! Haven't you realized your mistake after all these years?"
Master Ning moved his lips and wanted to explain it, but he couldn't make a sound as if his throat was being held by a hand. Then he cradled his head in his arms and said in a painful voice, "Yes, I was too indecisive, so your mother was killed, but I've been suffering for so many years, isn't it enough? I never remarried all these years because I wanted to compensate you and your mother! I've done so much, but why won't you forgive me?"
Every time he thought of what happened that day, he felt a gut-wrenching pain! But no matter how much he regretted it, the woman he loved would never come back to him...
"You always think about the Family, but you never think about me and my mother! What we wanted was never an absolute right, nor a supreme status. I just want to live like an ordinary person."
Ning Xin, disappointed, closed her eyes and said with a wry smile, "You always do things I can't tolerate and claim that it's for my own good! My grandfather and I have been traveling around all these years because we don't want to see you! Even living in seclusion in the deep mountains is better than facing snobbish people like you."
In the last sentence, she opened her eyes, a resolute gleam in her bright eyes that made Master Ning's heart shiver.
"Yes, I do think about what is best for the Family. Is that wrong?" Master Ning smiled bitterly, "It's just because I'm Master of the Family! I have to plan a better future for the Ning Family! Moreover, your grandfather has always been a great admirer of Tian Ya, and if he knew that you were going to marry into the Tian Family, he wouldn't refuse it."
Ning Xin sneered, coldly staring at Tian Lin who was looking at her with an obsessed look.
"I said I will not marry anyone else! Even if I have to commit suicide, I will not let the Tian Family have my body!"
"You..." Master Ning pointed at Ning Xin with a trembling finger, "Xin" er, you are really naïve! Let me tell you, you have no choice but marry into the Tian Family!"
As Master of the Ning Family, he would always take the interest of the Ning Family as the top priority even though he didn't want to hurt his daughter.
This was the tragedy of being a Master!
For the same reason, he sat and watched his beloved woman being killed that day...
Ning Xin smiled coldly, her eyes filled with derision. She took a final look at Master Ning, turned around and walked towards the door. At this moment, her heart was filled with disappointment.
"Don't go!"
Seeing that Ning Xin was going to leave, his face greatly changed, and Tian Lin said hurriedly, "Stop her!"
.

Chapter 474: Even Tian Ya Would Have to Call Her Master (1)
"Yes, Young Master!" The people of the Tian Family responded immediately, rushed to Ning Xin and tried to stop her.
"Get away from me!" Ning Xin shouted out loud, her body immediately releasing a gust of spiritual energy that forced the guards surrounding her to draw back a few steps...
"Ning Xin!"
Seeing that Ning Xin was going to fight with the people of the Tian Family, Master Ning was greatly frightened. He was about to scold her only to see that she was falling to the ground.
"Xin'er!"
Forgetting to scold her, Master Ning hurriedly came forward to catch Ning Xin's falling body, but at that moment a man moved more quickly than him, holding her and pulling her into his arms. The man's black hair and lunar-white robe were gently fluttering in the breeze, his handsome face cold, and he coldly stared at Master Ning with his clear eyes.
"Brother Yun..." Ning Xin was stunned. Gazing at the handsome and elegant man, she sobbed.
When she was being coerced by her father she held her emotions in check, but as soon as she saw Yun Qingya, all her grief erupted from the depths of her heart, and she tightly grabbed the bottom of his robe.
Yun Qingya's eyes fell to the flushed cheek of the girl, his slender fingers gently stroking her beautiful hair, and he said with a slightly helpless tone, "Why did you run out of the room without waiting for me?"
Although he was blaming her, his words were filled with love for her.
At once, Ning Xin could no longer hold back the tears and let the tears run down from her eyes.
"Sorry, Brother Yun..."
"Don't say that to me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the one seriously injured and lying in bed would be me." Yun Qingya smiled softly, and his smile was like a blossoming lotus, really pleasing to the eye.
Bang!
Seeing the one coming with Yun Qingya, Tian Ke immediately stood up, overturning the chair behind her, and her eyes burned with a raging flame.
"It's you!"
Tian Ke gnashed her teeth, "Yun Luofeng, what a coincidence! I didn't expect that I would meet you here! You messed up my affairs. How dare you still appear before my eyes!"
Hearing Tian Ke's words, Master Ning was a little surprised. Did Yun Luofeng and the Tian Family have a grudge? In that case, things were getting even more complicated...
Yun Luofeng glanced at Tian Ke wickedly, "I came to the Ning Family first, so it's you who appear before my eyes and invite me to beat you!"
"Yun Luofeng! Last time, if it wasn't that Tian Yu had something urgent to attend to, do you think you could escape from our hands?"
In fact, the last time Tian Yu left hurriedly because he felt the threat from Yun Xiao. However, on this occasion, Tian Ke would not tell the truth but would find an excuse.
"Since I made you run away before, I can make you do it again! Ning Xin is my future second aunt. I'd like to see if anyone can take her away!"
Saying this, the girl looked so domineering, her face filled with unruliness and arrogance.
Ning Xin, who was worried and anxious, soon calmed down after seeing Yun Luofeng and Yun Qingya...
These two people, one was her most trusted friend, and the other was her beloved man! She believed that as long as they were here, any difficulty would be readily solved.
"Miss Yun," Master Ning frowned, a worried gleam in his eyes, "The Tian Family has Tian Ya behind them. You'd better not fight with them. Apologize to them, and I will plead for you."
.

Chapter 475: Even Tian Ya Would Have to Call Her Master (2)
Even though Master Ning would not let Ning Xin marry Yun Qingya, he didn't want the Yun Family to be in trouble. After all, Yun Luofeng had saved Ning Xin's life. The Tian Family was different from the Medical City because Tian Ya was too powerful. If she offended the old man, no one could protect her...
"Why should my master apologize?" Xiao Bai, who had just arrived, suddenly heard the words of Master Ning, and with arms akimbo, her cute little face was flushed with anger...
"You fools, even if Tian Ya came here, he would have to call my master Master. How dare you make my master apologize!"
"HaHa!" Tian Ke couldn't hold back and laughed aloud, her face filled with contempt, "Little girl, didn't your parents tell you that a braggart will have their tongue cut?! If you said that Yun Luofeng acknowledged Tian Ya as her master, maybe I would believe it! But how dare you claim that Tian Ya would call her master? Do you think we are stupid? Nobody is going to buy your story!"
People all laughed at her words, their eyes full of disdain.
Yun Luofeng also glanced at Lin Ruobai with a surprised look, a doubtful gleam flashing through her dark eyes. Xiao Bai was not one to brag. She must have a reason for saying such a thing! But she didn't know Tian Ya, so how could she accept him as her disciple?
But she did remember there was an old man who wanted to be her disciple.
Was he...?
"What I said is true! Now Tian Ya is on his way and will soon arrive at the Ning Family!" Lin Ruobai stomped her foot and spoke angrily.
Master didn't turn to the Spirit Domain for help because she was afraid the time would not be enough, but she worried that Master would be bullied by the Ning Family, so she stealthily sent a message to Tian Ya. Now it had been several days and according to Tian Ya's speed, it was about time for him to arrive here...
"Little girl, Tian Ya has been living in seclusion to study medical skills and doesn't want anyone to disturb him. Even we don't know his whereabouts, and you say you can find him?" Tian Ke sneered, "Do you think we'll believe a story like that?"
Lin Ruobai curled her lips, "You can't find Tian Ya because he doesn't want to be found by you. It doesn't mean that I can't find him."
Hearing her words, Tian Ke was enraged, her eyes burning with raging flames. "Little girl, don't bullshit to me, or else I'll rip your mouth open! As a member of the Tian Family, how would Tian Ya not want us to find him? Let me tell you, just two months ago, Tian Ya was back in the Tian Family!"
"Two months ago?" Lin Ruobai smiled briskly, "I'm sorry but two months ago, Tian Ya was in my home. How could he go back to the Tian Family at the same time?"
Seeing her lie being exposed, Tian Ke got angry from embarrassment, but of course, she would never admit that Tian Ya was not with the Tian Family at that time! She only thought that the little girl was deliberately going against her!
"Brat, you are too presumptuous, let me teach you a lesson!" A sharp wind whirled around Tian Ke, and she dashed at Lin Ruobai, her eyes filled with murderous desire.
Looking at this, Master Ning shook his head helplessly. If Yun Luofeng had apologized as he suggested, he might be able to plead for her. Unfortunately, Yun Luofeng and her disciple were too arrogant, and now he couldn't help them...
After all, if Tian Ya appreciated Yun Luofeng's talent and wanted to accept her as his disciple, it would make sense. But how could it be possible that Godly Doctor Tian Ya wanted to acknowledge a teenage girl as his master?

Chapter 476: Elder Ning Got Angry (1)
Bang!
As Tian Ke was going to reach the front of Lin Ruobai, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and pulled Lin Ruobai's body into her arms. Then, the jade-like palm collided against the chest of Tian Ke, and with this strike, Tian Ke's body flew out and bumped against the table. The table immediately broke into two pieces and scattered on the ground.
The whole hall quieted down, and all the people present were staring unblinkingly at the gorgeous girl in white, dumbfounded. The girl frowned slightly, looked down at the little girl who was pulled into her arms and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Gazing at the girl's domineering and gorgeous face, Lin Ruobai felt her heart gradually settle down, and she had a gleam in her eyes.
If Master were a man, all the girls in the world would fall in love with her...
Unfortunately, she was a woman!
However, Lin Ruobai had secretly made a decision that she would take Master as the standard to look for in her future husband! Who could resist the charm of such a domineering yet gentle person?
"I'm fine," Lin Ruobai came back from her wild thoughts and shook her head, her lovely little face lit up with a bright smile, "and I know since Master is here, no one can hurt me."
"Stay here and wait for me. I'll fix this." After saying this, Yun Luofeng turned her dark eyes to Tian Ke, who had got up from the ground.
"Yun Luofeng!" Gnashing her teeth, Tian Ke spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at the girl's gorgeous face.
Since leaving the Long Yuan Kingdom that day, she had been cultivating tirelessly, neglecting her meals and sleep. Now, she had become an earth-level intermediate-rank spirit cultivator! She thought that by virtue of her strength she could easily crush Yun Luofeng! But she didn't expect that she would be repelled by the girl with a single strike. This was a big disgrace for her.
How could she bear such a humiliation?
"Go to hell! Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a strong force began to accumulate within her body, the force kept accumulating and accumulating, and finally made her reach the peak of an earth-level intermediate-rank spirit cultivator! Then it enabled her to make the breakthrough and become an earth-level advanced-rank spirit cultivator!
"Sister!"
Seeing Tian Ke's actions, Tian Lin turned pale, "Did you just use the secret technique of the Tian Family to improve your strength? After its effect is gone, you will descend to a earth-level low-rank spirit cultivator!"
This was the consequence of using the secret technique of the Tian Family!
If one used the secret technique, they could break through a rank in an instant, but after a period of time, instead of restoring to the original condition, their strength would drop a rank. So, normally no one would use this secret technique.
"Yun Luofeng, I didn't expect that as the granddaughter of a general, you could become an earth-level advanced-rank spirit cultivator without any favorable conditions! You are really a threat to me, so today I must kill you!"
Even though both of them were earth-level advanced-rank spirit cultivators, Tian Ke was very confident. After using this secret technique, not only would she break through a rank in an instant, but her physique would also reach its peak!
Unless Yun Luofeng was a sky-level spirit cultivator, she would be no match for her!
After all, the secret technique of the Tian Family didn't just improve the user's power in a short time! It brought about a real breakthrough! A short-term strength improvement didn't count and couldn't be compared with a real breakthrough.
But it still had a limit! After a period of time, the user would lose the acquired strength and suffer from a strong backlash...

Chapter 477: Elder Ning Got Angry (2)
Boom!
Tian Ke's body was like a tornado and struck against Yun Luofeng, a ferocious smile on her face, a formidable killing desire in her eyes.
In the strong wind, the girl was standing still, her white dress and dark long hair fluttering, her eyes quietly gazing at Tian Ke, and her stunningly beautiful face expressionless.
"Feng'er, watch out!
Yun Qingya, greatly frightened, hurriedly put down Ning Xin from his arms and rushed to Yun Luofeng to block the attack against Yun Luofeng with his own body, a touch of anxiety in his clear and cool eyes.
But then...
The girl's hand stretched out from the side and she pushed Yun Qingya aside while calmly looking at the aggressive Tian Ke. She slightly raised the corners of her lips and gave a wicked smile. Her voice sounded like it was coming from the depth of hell and it made one's heart tremble.
"When did I say I was an earth-level advanced-rank spirit cultivator?"
What?
Tian Ke was stunned, and before she figured out what Yun Luofeng meant, the girl's hand had come from the air and fiercely smacked her face.
Bang!
This slap contained all her force. Tian Ke, dumbfounded, was slapped so hard that her body slammed into the wall and she began to vomit blood.
"No! No way! How can you be a sky-level spirit cultivator? This is impossible!"
She tightly bit her lips, her body trembled, and her eyes were clearly filled with horror.
A sky-level spirit cultivator?
The crowd all gasped, and their eyes changed...
Master Ning, totally stunned, slowly turned his head to Ning Xin, and hoarsely asked, "Xin'er, is your friend a sky-level spirit cultivator?"
To be honest, for the Ning Family, a sky-level spirit cultivator was not a big deal. After all, all the elders of the Ning Family had been sky-level spirit cultivators! And the old master had even exceeded the realm of sky-level spirit cultivator!
But how old was Yun Luofeng? A 15-year-old girl had become a sky-level spirit cultivator? Who would believe it?
Ning Xin, also stunned, nodded. Even she didn't expect that Yun Luofeng had become a sky-level spirit cultivator.
Only half a year ago, she was still a normal girl and bullied by the Imperial Family. But now she had become so strong...
As long as a Family had a sky-level spirit cultivator, it could gain a firm foothold on the Continent, and even her father would recognize the Yun Family from now on! But it was too late, he had already broken her heart. How could she forgive him and pretend nothing had happened? At the thought of this, Ning Xin's face had a bitter smile.
"Little Feng'er," Yun Qingya gradually came back from shock and asked helplessly, "when did you become a sky-level spirit cultivator? "
Yun Luofeng shrugged and said with a faint smile, "On the way to the Ning Family's hall."
She came here to settle the issue of Ning Xin. If she hadn't acquired an absolute advantage against them, how would the Ning Family allow Ning Xin to leave? So she found a hidden corner to take the holy water on the way to the hall. With the help of the holy water, she successfully broke through to a sky-level spirit cultivator! That was why she came late!
"Ahem!" Tian Ke coughed and climbed up from the ground. Glaring at Yun Luofeng with a ferocious look, she gnashed her teeth, "Yun Luofeng, you are simply courting death! The Tian Family has Tian Ya as their backing. Now you'll be dead meat in no time since you dared to injure me!"

Chapter 478:- Elder Ning Got Angry (3)
Tian Ya!
This name suddenly brought Master Ning back to reality.
Yes, even though Yun Luofeng had broken through to a sky-level spirit cultivator, so what? The Tian Family had Tian Ya behind them. No matter how talented Yun Luofeng was, she would not be able to face such a formidable opponent.
"Master Ning, let your people catch her, and I'm going to teach her a lesson!" Tian Ke wiped the blood from the lower corners of her mouth and said resentfully.
"Well... " Master Ning paused and slightly frowned, "Miss Tian Ke, maybe that's not a good idea. Miss Yun has saved my daughter's life and is on good terms with my father, I am afraid... "
"Humph, I don't care what relations she has with your Ning Family. I want you to catch her, now! Otherwise, I will punish you for shielding her!"
Tian Ke sneered at Yun Luofeng. Yes, you are talented, so what? Under the attack of the Ning Family's masters, you will surely die! This is for you going against me over and over again!
Master Ning kept silent, hesitating as if he was still thinking about Tian Ke's words.
Just then, Ning Xin dragged her feeble body and walked to the front of Yun Luofeng. She raised her arms, shielding the girl behind her, and looked right into Master Ning's eyes with a resolute and determined gaze.
"Dad, if you want to touch any person of the Yun Family, just... kill me as well! Anyway, in your mind, I, your daughter, will never be as important as the Ning Family.
Master Ning's heart quivered and he moved his lips, trying to say something, but was interrupted by the cold voice of Ning Xin.
"You are a good master, but you are not a good father!"
Her voice, like a heavy hammer, chiseled on the heart of Master Ning and almost suffocated him...
"You're right." Master Ning gave a bitter smile. "I'm not a good father, nor a good husband! For the Ning Family, I've paid too much and lost too much..." His face raised a wry smile, and he gazed at the girl's resolute little face, speechless. "I thought my family would understand me, but I was wrong and you will never understand how I felt."
Hearing the talk between Master Ning and Ning Xin, Tian Ke frowned impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Kill them all!"
"Sister!" Tian Lin turned pale and grabbed Tian Ke's arm anxiously. "I like Ning Xin and I want to marry her, so..."
"Shut up!" Tian Ke gave Tian Lin a black look, "Haven't you realized it? This bitch would rather be with the Yun Family than become a member of our Tian Family! Now that she has made this choice, let them go to hell together!"
Tian Lin had never dared to disobey his sister since he was a child. Hearing Tian Ke's words, he immediately closed his mouth and said no more, but his eyes fixed on Ning Xin were full of pity and sorrow.
"Haha, who do you want to go to hell?" Suddenly, an indifferent voice broke through the void and passed into everyone's ears.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ning Xin was greatly delighted and quickly turned her head to look at the blue-robed old man who had come from the void. She felt a lump in her throat and tears began to flow down from her eyes.
"Grandpa, you're back... "
Elder Ning walked quickly to Ning Xin. Seeing the clear hand mark on her face, he frowned and asked, "Who did this to you?"
.

Chapter 479: Elder Ning Got Angry (4)
Though the old man's tone was quite mild, one could still tell the uncontrollable anger in his tone.
Master Ning shuddered and answered timidly, "Father, it was me..."
Smack!
Hardly had his words faded away when the old man slapped his face.
Suddenly, in the quiet hall, the clapping sound rang.
Elder Ning's strength was much greater than Master Ning's. Master Ning was slapped so hard that his face swelled up and red blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"How dare you treat Xin'er like this when I was not in the Ning Family these few days?" Elder Ning's eyes were burning with a raging flame, and his face turned blue with anger. "Xin'er really had a hard time these years, so how could you have the heart to beat her? Even I am reluctant to touch a single strand of her hair, but you beat her like this! If I hadn't had a problem with my body and wasn't able to manage the Ning Family, I would not have passed on the power to you!"
Master Ning covered his face, and in an aggrieved tone said, "Father, you know I did this for the Ning Family!"
"For the Ning Family?
Bang!
Elder Ning was so angry that he kicked Master Ning away, his old face cold, his eye as sharp as a sword, and his expression showing that he wanted to kick Master Ning harder.
"How dare you say that you did it for the Ning Family? I was only away for half a year seeking medical treatment, and so many things happened in the Ning Family! Even Ning Xin's mother was killed because of your mistake! How dare you say that you did this for the Ning Family?!"
In order not to be beaten again, Master Ning no longer dared to say anything. He got up from the ground and hid off to the side timidly, his face aggrieved. Even now, he still didn't think he had done anything wrong, but felt aggrieved that neither his Father nor his daughter understood him.
As his family, shouldn't they support him?
"Grandpa!" Ning Xin came forward and rubbed the old man's chest to comfort him, "Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with a person like him."
As if her clear voice was magic, the old man calmed down. He turned to his baby granddaughter and asked with a genial smile, "Xin'er, tell Grandpa. What have they done to you? Grandpa will avenge you."
Ning Xin paused, and said, "Fourth Elder injured Brother Yun."
Her first words were not for herself, but for Yun Qingya!
"I know that, and I'll make Fourth Elder pay for this later." Elder Ning sneered, "How dare he injure my grandson-in-law? I will not tolerate this offense!"
Master Ning was stunned, his eyes wide open, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Father, what... what did you say? Did you just say you agreed for Ning Xin to marry Yun Qingya?"
Yun Qingya was just the son of a general, so why did Elder Ning recognize him as Ning Xin's husband?
"I'd like him to be my grandson-in-law, but I don't know whether he's willing to marry Xin'er. If he is, then Ning Xin is his wife." He meant that if Yun Qingya didn't want to marry Ning Xin, he wouldn't force him. But if he did, nobody would be able to stop them!
If it were another man, as long as Ning Xin liked him, he would snatch that man for her! But the Yun Family was different! He would not have done such a thing on account of his relationship with Yun Luofeng.
Moreover, Ning Xin would not marry a man who didn't love her...
.
.
.
Chapter 480: Elder Ning Got Angry (5)
So, it depended on themselves whether they would marry or not.
Master Ning was completely shocked. Did his father just say that if Yun Qingya was willing to marry Ning Xin, he would immediately marry Ning Xin to him and if he wasn't, he would not force him?
Was... was this still his father who would do anything for his granddaughter?
Though the old man looked indifferent, he still ardently loved his granddaughter! But he would rather disappoint his granddaughter than force Yun Qingya to marry her? Master Ning really couldn't figure out why his father treated the Yun Family so respectfully.
"Have you finished yet?" Tian Ke gave a cold glance to Elder Ning and said impatiently, "I don't care about your personal relations. Today, I must kill Yun Luofeng! You'd better help me accomplish this goal. Otherwise, you'll regret it later!"
"Haha!" Elder Ning gave her a faint smile, his face mild and indifferent, "Miss Yun is also my granddaughter. If you want to touch her, I will never tolerate it."
"Father!"
Hearing his father's sharp tone, Master Ning was a little anxious, "Miss Tian Ke is from the Tian Family, where Tian Ya was born!"
"So what?" Elder Ning glimpsed Master Ning indifferently, "If you can't protect your daughter, let me do this for you."
Master Ning's face turned paler. He though his father must be out of his mind. Tian Ya had always been his idol. How could he just throw away his idol for Yun Luofeng?
Of course, Master Ning didn't know what Elder Ning was thinking. He revered Tian Ya for his superb medical skills, but after getting to know Yun Luofeng, he believed that the girl's medical skills were no worse than Tian Ya's. So what was the big deal of giving up the Tian Family?
Ning Xin grabbed Elder Ning's arm and stood at his side with ease, her beautiful face fearless, and her bright eyes stubborn.
"Father... " Master Ning got more anxious, fearing that the words of the old man would provoke the people of the Tian Family.
Seeing that Tian Ke's face quickly darkened, he hurriedly said, "Don't mess with the Tian Family. We shouldn't get the Ning Family into trouble for personal gratification. I think we'd better apologize to the Tian Family and marry Ning Xin to Tian Lin. Then we will become relatives with the Tian Family."
"Shut up!"
Elder Ning glared at Master Ning with sharp eyes, "I'll never trade my granddaughter's happiness for power!"
Besides, he had heard that Tian Ya had fallen out with the Tian Family. Although it was not clear whether Tian Ya still had any connection with the Tian Family, it was impossible for them to restore their previous relationship. Even if Tian Ya would stand by the Tian Family's side, he would not give his granddaughter away.
"If you insist on it, don't regret it!" Tian Ke's eyes darkened.
Knowing that with Elder Ning here, she would not be able to kill Yun Luofeng, she called Tian Lin and walked towards the outside. As she passed by Yun Luofeng, her proud eyes coldly glanced at her, and as a parting shot she expressionlessly said, "Yun Luofeng, you've really annoyed me. Next time I see you, I will make you die a miserable death. Tian Lin, let's go!"
Reluctant to leave, Tian Lin glanced at Ning Xin. He wanted to stay, but after seeing his sister's eyes, he drew back his gaze.
