C9 (1/2)
When they left the room, Bi Xue and Qing'er stopped in their tracks, standing to their left and right, looking at Ning Luo at the same time. When they saw that, Ning Luo was stunned, and then he understood what the two women meant.
After that, he turned around and wanted to say something, but when he saw the murderous look on Bi Xue's face, he forcibly swallowed back his words. At this moment, he already understood that he had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and walked into the hall. The two girls behind him looked at each other before following him into the hall.
”We pay our respects to the Young Palace Master!”
The moment Ning Luo stepped into the hall, a few powerful gazes turned to look at him. These gazes were as deep as the abyss, unfathomable. He didn't dare to look straight at them, and soon after, the hall was filled with a wave of greetings.
Ning Luo shook his head after the greeting. He threw away the auras and looked towards the hall. His eyes swept over Di Kun and Mei Lian. When he saw Feng Wuqing and Grandma Long, he walked towards them.
Arriving in front of Dragon Lady and Feng Wuqing, Ning Luo realized that the two of them, like the others, had both bowed and cupped their fists, respectfully looking at him. He was stunned there, and just as he was not aware of what was happening, Dragon Lady's voice rang in his ears.
” Get up! ”
” Thank you, Young Hall Master! ”
As soon as Ning Luo finished speaking, the people saluting stood up and respectfully stood to the side. At this moment, the Dragon Lady took a step forward and stood in front of Ning Luo, bowing as she said,
” ”Reporting to Young Mistress, Chief Steward Di and Miss Mei, today I must see you. I can't do it, so I brought you here directly. Please punish me, Young Mistress!”
”Uh, Grandma Long, you are being too serious. I … Why would I blame you? Please quickly get up!”
Ning Luo said indifferently as she looked at Dragon Lady in response to the voice that entered her ears.
” Thank you, Young Hall Master! ”
After that, she straightened her body and stood behind Ning Luo.
Ning Luo then shifted her gaze to Di Kun and Mei Lian. After sizing up the area for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and asked:
” May I know what important matter the two of you have in order to help us out? ”
His tone was extremely stiff, giving off an awkward feeling.
Hearing Ning Luo's words, Di Kun looked at Merlin. Seeing that there was no response from her, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he took a step forward and respectfully said to Ning Luo,
” This subordinate heard that Young Hall Master met an assassin on the way and was heavily injured, so this subordinate came here today to visit Young Hall Master and offer you two pellets of the healing panacea, the Hundred Spirit Pellet. With that, Di Kun waved his arm and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. He then held it up with both hands and respectfully handed it over to Ning Luo.
” ”I appreciate your kindness. However, although I met an assassin, I wasn't seriously injured, so please take back this Hundred Spirit Pill!”
Ning Luo swallowed his saliva, trying to hold back his emotions as he spoke indifferently.
”Since Young Hall Master is not injured, this subordinate is relieved. It's just that this Hundred Spirit Pill, I hope that Young Hall Master can accept it. Consider this as a little kindness from this subordinate!”
A ray of light flashed across Di Kun's eyes. He thought for a while and said with determination.
” ”This!”
Di Kun's words caused Ning Luo to have a difficult expression. At this moment, if he continued to refuse, Di Kun would lose face, but if he accepted it directly, he was afraid of the Dragon Lady and Feng Wuqing who were behind him blaming him.
” ”Since Chief Di has said so, I will accept this Hundred Spirit Pill!”
As soon as Ning Luo finished her words, she slowly walked out from behind. She took the Hundred Spirit Pill from Di Kun's hands and retreated back to Ning Luo's side.
However, no one had noticed that just as Ning Luo had hesitated just now, a puzzled look had flashed through Meryl's eyes, but it had disappeared in a flash.
” Young Hall Master, this subordinate has one more thing to report.
Seeing Ning Luo accept the pill, a mysterious smile appeared on Di Kun's face. He then bent over and cupped his fist as he spoke.
