Chapter 201 - Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Yun Family Conspiracy (2/2)
Even the old ancestor of the Yun Family came forward to confront the friend of the Ning Family ancestor.
And, due to the contract’s limitations,
the friend of Ning Family’s ancestor was also unable to offer any more help.
They could only let the Ning Family take the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed first and then cultivate it with dedication.
There was nothing more to say beyond that.
Just like that…
After the Ning Family had taken that seed, they carefully nurtured it for two years, yet the seed still showed no signs of sprouting.
Now, there was less than a year left before the contract would expire.
Having no other choice, the Ning Family’s ancestor thought of coming to Nanshan Immortal City to seek out his friend—the Old Master of the Li Family—to see if there was a solution here.
By the end of the story, everyone was furious.
They were disgraced by the actions of Ning Yue’s uncle.
For his own greed, he was willing to let the entire family meet their doom.
At the same time, they felt even more chilled by the tactics of the Yun Family.
This was clearly a conspiracy directed at the Ning Family.
At this moment, Lin Jing was still pondering…
Ever since Ning Yue first mentioned the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed, Lin Jing had become excited.
However, because the current situation was not appropriate, Lin Jing could only suppress the excitement in his heart and continued to listen to Ning Yue’s story.
Because…
Lin Jing was only one Spirit Plant away from completing his Cultivation True Elixir,
and that was the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.
Since the Demon Race Secret Realm had opened, many rare Spirit Plants had appeared.
Lin Jing had also been paying close attention,
all for the purpose of learning news about the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.
But these past few months, there had been absolutely no news of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he received news of the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit from Ning Yue.
But…
After Ning Yue finished explaining the situation, Lin Jing’s brows furrowed once more.
Then, Lin Jing spoke up, asking Ning Yue:
“Ning Daoist friend, are you certain that the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed is genuine?”
Li Qingqing also echoed:
“Yes, could it be that the seed itself is a fake, merely disguised as a Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit seed through special means?”
Ning Yue shook her head, saying:
“That’s highly unlikely; the seed should be genuine.”
“My ancestor once had it thoroughly examined by someone, and that person was a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”
“Even with the use of tricks, it would be impossible to deceive a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”
Having said this, Ning Yue paused for a moment before continuing:
“But there is definitely a problem with that seed—it’s just that our methods are not capable of detecting it.”
After finishing, Ning Yue turned her head to look at Li Tangyu:
“Actually, I also know that my ancestor is seeking your grandfather in desperation, with only a slim hope.”
“It seems we have no other options left now…”
As her voice trailed off…
Even the usually strong-willed Ning Yue began to look perplexed, her eyes vacant as she sat there, lost in thought.
Huang Qingling’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke up:
“Can’t we just find another Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit or obtain another seed and start over?”
“After all, they only demanded the sprouting of a Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit; they didn’t specify it had to be the one they provided, did they?”
Ning Yue shook her head, saying:
“We’ve already tried that…”
“The Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit is too rare; we simply can’t find it…”
Li Tangyu also nodded his head:
“Recently in the Demon Race Secret Realm, although several Tier 3 Spirit Plants have appeared, the Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit has not…”
“Is there really no other way?”
Huang Qingling furrowed her brows and then said through gritted teeth:
“Damn it…”
“That Young Master of the Yun Family is detestable to the extreme…”
“To think he wants Ning Yue to become his concubine—it’s an insult, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s despicable…” Li Qingqing followed with her agreement.
At this point, Li Tangyu softly spoke up, asking:
“Miss Ning…”
“If you can’t cultivate that Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, what do you plan to do?”
“Are you really going to marry him and become his concubine?”
“If it really comes to that…”
Ning Yue’s eyes suddenly filled with resolve, and then she said:
“I would rather fight to the death than let him succeed…”
“Ning sister, why don’t you just run away…”
At this time, Li Qingqing spoke up.
“As long as you leave this place and make it impossible for them to find you, they will be powerless.”
Huang Qingling also nodded, agreeing with Li Qingqing’s words.
“Yes, if it comes to that, just run away…”
“Where there’s life, there’s hope.”
On the other hand, Li Tangyu was deep in thought with a concerned expression.
“If Miss Ning runs away, they might use that as an excuse to take action against the Ning Family.”
“Moreover…”
“The Yun Family is not a small power, and with Miss Ning’s level of cultivation, escaping might not be easy.”
Huang Qingling said somewhat angrily:
“Are we to just stand by and watch her fall into a predicament?”
As Huang Qingling’s words fell, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
“Actually, I might have a solution…”
Just as the mood had become heavy, Lin Jing suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to lift their heads and look at him incredulously.
