âShe wonât,â Yuan Hou said with confidence that came out of nowhere.
âHmph! You fool, how can you not know that a womanâs heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!â Yuan Biao said with some disappointment. Why didnât this stupid son learn his shrewdness at all? He really didnât know who he took after.
âThe guards by Miss Ningâs side are not inferior to Leng Xiaoyu, so she wouldnât like Leng Xiaoyu even if thatâs the case!â Yuan Hou said disapprovingly. Even though Miss Ning had never introduced the people around her to him, he knew that they were all her subordinates.
âGuards? Are you sure?â Yuan Biao asked curiously. He had never seen what Miss Ningâs guards were like.
âYes.â Yuan Hou nodded.
âFather, you have to help me,â Yuan Hou added worriedly.
âFather knows his limits. You should rest first! Father is leaving,â Yuan Biao said. With that, he left the waiting garden. However, he did not return to his study directly. Instead, he went to the Falling Swallow Dwelling because he was a little curious about the guards beside Miss Ning.
When Yuan Biao saw the âguardsâ beside Leng Ruoxue, he believed in Leng Ruoxueâs identity a little more because in his opinion, only top families could nurture such outstanding guards.
After he returned to the study, he met the few trusted subordinates he had sent out.
In the study.
Yuan Biao looked at his subordinate in front of him and said calmly, âHowâs the investigation going?â
âAlliance Master, we went to the Ning familyâs Divine Realm and found out that Miss Ning has not been at home recently. I heard that she went out,â a subordinate reported.
âOh! What else?â Yuan Biao continued.
âUh!â The subordinates looked at each other, but they were speechless.
âYou guys went there for a few days and only found out about this?â Seeing that his subordinates were silent, Yuan Biao said gloomily. These subordinates were too useless!
âAlliance Master, the Ning familyâs Divine Realm is heavily guarded. We donât dare to ask too much,â another subordinate said with some difficulty.
âHave you asked around about Miss Ningâs appearance and characteristics?â Yuan Biao asked, unwilling to give up.
âEveryone in the Ning familyâs Divine Realm says that Miss Ning is a rare beauty. Moreover, I heard that Miss Ning has a token that can prove her identity,â the subordinate said, and the others hurriedly echoed.
âA token? What kind?â Yuan Biao pretended not to know.
âI think itâs silver,â the subordinate said after a moment.
âIs something like this?â Yuan Biao said and took out a silver token from his ring.
âThatâs right, this is it! Alliance Master, why is this token in your hands? Uh! I heard that the Ning family only recognizes tokens and not people,â the subordinate said.
âDo you recognize the card but not the person?â Yuan Biao said thoughtfully. Now that the card was in his hands, could he use it?
âYes.â The subordinate nodded.
âGot it. If thereâs nothing else to report, you can leave first!â Yuan Biao said.
âAlliance Master, weâll take our leave then.â The subordinates bowed and left the study.
After his subordinates left, Yuan Biao sat alone in his chair and looked at the sign in his hand with a myriad of thoughtsâ¦n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The next day.
Yuan Biao came to the Falling Swallow Dwelling again. This time, he brought good news to Leng Ruoxue and the others. He said that he had already discussed with the elders and could let her see Leng Xiaoyu.
âPresident Yuan, thank you so much,â Leng Ruoxue said happily after hearing Yuan Biaoâs words.
âMiss Ning, you donât have to be polite. Youâre my sonâs savior. As long as I can do it, I definitely wonât disappoint Miss Ning,â Yuan Biao said indifferently.
âHowever, that Leng Xiaoyu has a strange temper. Sometimes, he wonât even listen to me. Therefore, I really canât guarantee if heâs willing to refine weapons for you. Hehe, Miss Ning is from an aristocratic family. She will definitely know that those blacksmiths and alchemists are not easy to serve,â Yuan Biao added helplessly and did not say it too confidently.
âYes, I know that. The Alliance Master Yuan doesnât have to worry. As long as I see Lord Leng Xiaoyu, I naturally have a way to convince him,â Leng Ruoxue said confidently.
âThen Iâm relieved. Miss Ning, if itâs convenient, I can bring you to see Leng Xiaoyu now,â Yuan Biao said very proactively.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue nodded calmly. She had been waiting for this sentence.
âThen please follow me,â Yuan Biao said.
Leng Ruoxue and the freak followed Yuan Biao through a few turns and finally arrived outside a sealed room. The room was underground and should belong to the secret chamber of the First Alliance.
He didnât expect his ancestor to be locked up here. No wonder Qing Jue couldnât find him! There was a defensive array outside the secret room that could stop anyone from investigating.
Yuan Biao quickly formed a few hand seals with both hands. Not long after, the array formation disappeared.
âMiss Ning, please follow me in!â Yuan Biao said and opened the door of the secret room.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue looked at the freak and followed Yuan Biao inâ¦
