Chapter 100: I Want Feiyan to Marry You
After returning to the Ning family, they began to deal with this matter. Because dealing with the matter at hand also meant that they could clear Ning Zetian’s name.
Although Ning Zetian had been expelled from the family, he was now the Holy Son of the Yu Heng Sacred Land. If he was willing to return, the Ning family would be very happy.
Also, Ning Feixuan was now the Yaochi Holy Maiden, and she had the Huang Family behind her. The Ning family had no choice but to deal with this matter.
The result of the matter soon came out. Ning Yourong was handed over to Ning Feixuan to deal with herself. And the Divine Seal Realm elder who had been plotting for Ning Yourong was expelled from the Ning family.
This was basically equivalent to letting Ning Feixuan deal with it herself.
Ning Feixuan naturally had nothing to say about this result. This was what she should have gotten in the first place…
The expelled Divine Seal Realm elder wanted to run, but with Huang Junyi and that half-step Human Gateway Realm from Yaochi present, how could he possibly escape?
Although he had not acted personally, he had planned everything, including framing Ning Zetian and murdering Ning Feixuan’s parents. Ning Feixuan had no intention of letting him go.
Of course, the top priority now was to deal with Ning Yourong.
Although Ning Feixuan was the Yaochi Holy Maiden, and Yaochi had always been peaceful, it did not mean that Yaochi was full of saints. Just as Ning Mengru had never opposed her revenge, Yaochi also repaid kindness with kindness and hatred with hatred. It was just that Yaochi had too few enemies and rarely had any.
Since the matter had been investigated clearly, and Ning Feixuan had a half-step Human Gateway Realm protecting her, Mingyan and Huang Junyi had no intention of staying.
Mingyan found Ning Feixuan. She was in the small hut where her parents used to live, sitting by the bed, lost in thought, probably recalling some past events.
“Celestial Ning,” Mingyan said softly after entering the door. “My sister and I are planning to leave.”
Hearing Mingyan’s voice, Ning Feixuan came back to her senses, looked at him, her eyes filled with complex and unclear emotions. “Do you… do you hate me?”
“Hate you?” Mingyan smiled. “Why would I hate you?”
“You sincerely wanted to help me, but I treated your kindness with contempt…” Ning Feixuan sighed softly. “And even… the things I said… don’t take them to heart.”
“From your perspective, I couldn’t produce any evidence at that time. It’s perfectly normal for you not to believe me,” Mingyan shook his head. “Besides, there’s no point in talking about these things anymore. Now that you’ve found the real murderer, you can also avenge your parents. It’s a weight off your mind. And I have also repaid your life-saving grace. Isn’t that great?”
“I’ve said it before, you never owed me anything…” hearing him talk about the so-called life-saving grace again, Ning Feixuan couldn’t help but say.
“To you, perhaps you really don’t take this casual act of saving someone to heart. But to me, who was saved, I can’t possibly ignore it,” Mingyan shook his head. “You saved me, I owe you a life. What I have done now can only barely repay it.”
Ning Feixuan pursed her lips. “I sit here and can’t help but recall the past. Now that I’m infinitely close to revenge, I can’t be happy. Because even if I cut down my enemy, my parents won’t come back.”
Mingyan remained silent. He naturally understood this point. After all, when Sun Moon Village was massacred, he had also experienced a period of mental struggle.
“I feel an unprecedented emptiness. The goal I have been pursuing all this time has now been achieved. After this, what path should I take? What should I do? I have no clue at all.”
“There are still many things around you that are worthy of your attention. Now that you have avenged yourself, you should cherish the things around you even more,” Mingyan said. “There’s no need to be so sentimental.”
Hearing this, Ning Feixuan fell silent. After a long while, she finally said, “…Can we… still be friends?”
Mingyan smiled. “You don’t need a friend like me, do you? Alright, Celestial Ning, my sister and I will leave first. I hope you can get out of these things soon. We will meet again if fate allows.”
With that, Mingyan turned to leave. Ning Feixuan actually had more to say, but the words were stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth but couldn’t make any sound.
She always felt that she owed Mingyan, but he told her that she had actually done nothing wrong and didn’t need to feel sorry or guilty towards him.
Before, he used to call her Feixuan, but now, it was just a ‘Celestial Ning’.
Did my actions still hurt him, making him choose to keep his distance from me?
Is this… a good thing after all?
There was not a single false word in what Mingyan said to Ning Feixuan. He did not blame her. He had originally wanted to investigate everything clearly before discussing it with her. At that time, he could slowly convince her.
But Ning Feixuan’s arrival had disrupted his entire plan. And, she had even told him that she was planning to go directly to Ning Zetian. This had forced Mingyan to make things clear and try to stop her. And then…
Life is unpredictable. Not everything can go smoothly. But now, Mingyan was also satisfied with this.
The debt of gratitude was repaid. They no longer owed each other. He could finally let go of some things that should have been let go of long ago.
The next step was to go back to his sister’s place first, and then back to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. He missed his senior sister a little.
Mingyan found Huang Junyi, and the two of them did not stay long and left the Ning family.
On the carriage, Feng Shiyi was still in a deep sleep, and Huang Junyi sat beside Mingyan, smiling. “What are you planning to do next?”
“I plan to go back to Yaochi first, and then back to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, Sister. Without you, this trip would have been extremely difficult,” Mingyan was grateful to Huang Junyi from the bottom of his heart. This Temptress Sister really trusted him very much. Of course, as she had said, she helped her own and not reason… but as her own, this feeling was really surprisingly good.
Huang Junyi raised her hand, her jade-like finger wiggling slightly, and said with a giggle, “This is not how you thank someone.”
“Do you want me to rub your legs for you again, Sister?” Mingyan blinked upon hearing this. “It’s not impossible…”
“What? You want to send me off with just a leg rub?” Huang Junyi crossed her arms, her cherry lips pouting slightly. “I’ve helped you so much. I also want you to help me a little.”
“Tell me, Sister. I will do my best,” Mingyan nodded.
“Before you go to Yaochi, come back to the Huang family with me first. The Huang family… needs you to do a huge favor,” Huang Junyi’s eyes were smiling. Now that the matter of Ning Feixuan was resolved, there was no need to hide some things.
Huge? This adjective surprised Mingyan. He asked carefully, “Can you reveal a little in advance, Sister? Are you sure I can really help?”
“Of course. If you can’t help, why would I tell you? And, in this world, probably only you can help. At least before you break through to the Human Gateway Realm,” Huang Junyi said with a giggle.
When I break through to the Human Gateway Realm, I can save my sister. The common point between me and my sister is the Human King Physique. So is it something related to the Human King Physique?
Mingyan nodded. “No problem.”
Huang Junyi gave Mingyan a ‘mua’ on the cheek with a giggle. “Love you, little brother.”
Her action was too fast. Mingyan couldn’t dodge at all, so he didn’t even think about it. He raised his hand to cover the place where he had been kissed, a little helpless.
Forget it. On this journey, the Temptress Sister has helped me too much. A kiss is just a kiss. It won’t make me lose a piece of flesh.
After a while, Mingyan and Huang Junyi arrived at the Huang family.
Speaking of which, how many times had he been to the Huang family? He had also forgotten. It felt like his own backyard. He could come whenever he wanted, and the Huang family was also very welcoming.
Huang Junyi brought Mingyan directly to the inner courtyard of the Huang family. Not long after, she brought him directly to Huang Junru.
“Aunt,” Mingyan bowed, but Huang Junru waved her hand. “From now on, you don’t need to bow to me. Just treat me as your own family.”
She is, after all, a friend’s elder. Shouldn’t I still be a little polite? Mingyan muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he still smiled lightly and nodded.
Huang Junru waved her hand to dismiss Huang Junyi, then looked at Mingyan and said, “I have a few things I need to make clear to you. Whether you can accept them is up to you.”
“Please speak, Aunt,” Mingyan was a little nervous. Whether it’s the Temptress Sister or Huang Junru, why do they both feel so solemn? Can I help with this favor? Why does it feel like they want my life?
Of course, the Huang family couldn’t possibly want his life. Mingyan was very clear about this.
“I want to marry Feiyan to you,” Huang Junru’s tone was cold. Of course, compared to before, her tone towards him now was much better, and could even be considered very gentle.
But these words made Mingyan a little stunned. He almost thought he had misheard. “Aunt… did you just say you want to marry Feiyan to me?”
“That’s right. I want Feiyan to be your wife,” Huang Junru nodded. “This way, you will be a true member of the Huang family. But you are not marrying into our family. It is Feiyan who is marrying you. This point, you must remember clearly. It is very important.”
Mingyan was a little incredulous. “But… but why? Feiyan and I…”
Mingyan wanted to say that he and Feiyan were just friends, and they both thought so. But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he remembered that Feiyan had once kissed him…
Perhaps he just saw her as a friend, but she, perhaps, did not just see him as a friend.
Senior Sister kissed me because she liked me. What about Feiyan?
Mingyan fell silent. After a while, he said, “May I ask what else there is besides this matter?”
“If you don’t agree to this matter, then I can’t trouble you with the favor afterward,” Huang Junru said. “You must think carefully. And, I hope you can understand that Feiyan really likes you, and I also hope that you sincerely like her. You don’t hate her, do you?”
