Chapter 65: Ning Mengru’s Thoughts
After leaving Ning Mengru’s place, Mingyan returned to Yue Ningshuang’s residence, but Yue Ningshuang was not there.
Mingyan didn’t know where she had gone. He was not in a hurry to find her but sat in the courtyard and waited.
And Ning Mengru… Ning Mengru called Ning Feixuan over.
“Master,” Ning Feixuan said in a low voice after bowing.
Ning Feixuan had been in a low mood during this time. Although Wang Qingchu had called her over before and had done some psychological work for her, and Yue Ningshuang had also said that she would support her and Mingyan, Mingyan’s attitude made Ning Feixuan really not happy.
Ning Mengru walked to Ning Feixuan and handed her the Mandarin Duck mirror. “This item, I forgot to return it to you before…”
Ning Feixuan looked at the mirror in Ning Mengru’s hand, and her face immediately showed joy.
Before, Ning Mengru had said she would take the mirror to study, and then after taking it, she had not returned it to Ning Feixuan for a long time. Ning Feixuan had actually asked before, but she had been brushed off by Ning Mengru. This made Ning Feixuan a little aggrieved.
Because in her opinion, if she had the mirror, perhaps the situation between her and Mingyan would not be so unbearable.
But her master had not returned it to her, and Ning Feixuan was helpless.
Ning Feixuan carefully held the mirror, but just as she was about to take it away, she was held by Ning Mengru again.
Ning Feixuan looked up at Ning Mengru in surprise and asked in a low voice, “Master… what’s wrong?”
“…” Ning Mengru looked at the mirror, was silent for a while, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Ning Feixuan pulled a little harder, but Ning Mengru still did not let go. Ning Feixuan looked at Ning Mengru. Didn’t you say you would return it to me? Why are you still holding it? This made Ning Feixuan confused.
Ning Mengru was silent for a while, and only then did she slowly let go. Only then did Ning Feixuan take back her hand. She looked at the mirror in her hand, then at Ning Mengru, blinked, a little at a loss.
Ning Mengru let out a long breath, looked at Ning Feixuan, and casually looked away. She said, “Before, Mingyan came over to find me. He said he was planning to take your senior sister out.”
“…Yes,” hearing this, Ning Feixuan’s eyes dimmed again, and she responded in a low voice.
“But he wants to take you out too,” Ning Mengru continued. Hearing this, Ning Feixuan’s eyes immediately lit up. “Mas, Master?! Are you telling the truth? He took the initiative to say… that he wanted to take me out?”
“Yes…” Ning Mengru did not say that it was Yue Ningshuang who had spoken. She had always thought that Ning Feixuan had not paid enough, so she felt that Ning Feixuan should love Mingyan a little more.
So, to say this could increase Ning Feixuan’s favorability and also make her less desperate. As Ning Feixuan was now, she felt as if her whole person had died. Ning Mengru could hardly bear to watch anymore.
“…” Ning Feixuan bit her cherry lips, her eyes a little moist. She held the mirror in both hands as if it were a treasure, a little incoherent. “He… I…”
“Alright, alright. Look at you…” Ning Mengru had not expected that Ning Feixuan would be so emotional after knowing this news. Her heart couldn’t help but be a little speechless. Was this still her dignified and calm disciple? Was this still the Yaochi Holy Maiden of Yaochi? Just because Mingyan had offered to take her out, she was so excited…
Before, when Ning Mengru had arranged for the two of them to act together, Ning Feixuan had wished to escape as far as possible… now she knew to cherish it?
Ning Feixuan raised her hand, wiped the tears from her eyes, and responded in a low voice.
Ning Mengru waved her hand, let Ning Feixuan leave, and then sighed.
When Ning Mengru had handed over the Mandarin Duck mirror, she had really felt a little… she couldn’t say what she was feeling…
If before, Ning Mengru had been interfered with by the mirror, then now, she shouldn’t be, right?
Ning Mengru let out a long breath. She knew that Mingyan had been waiting for her for a long time, so she went to change her identity and returned to Yue Ningshuang’s residence.
“Husband?!” after seeing Mingyan, Yue Ningshuang immediately smiled and walked quickly to him. “Have you been waiting for me for a long time?”
“Not for long,” Mingyan shook his head. He said, “I just went to find Aunt Ning and chatted about you…”
“Is that so? What did you talk about?” Yue Ningshuang blinked and asked.
“Mainly about whether you want to leave Yaochi. Do you want to leave?” Mingyan asked. “Hmm, before you answer me, I need to make it clear. Whether you stay at Yaochi or follow me to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, I am looking at your choice. I don’t have a subjective thought. So, you don’t need to look at what I think before you make a choice.”
Mingyan was worried that Yue Ningshuang would make some thoughts that were different from her own because of him, so he explained in advance, “You grew up at Yaochi, after all. It’s very normal to want to stay here. I’ve already asked Aunt Ning. Because I’m special, you don’t have to leave Yaochi.”
Yue Ningshuang heard Mingyan’s little thoughts. She looked at him, looked for a long while, and then smiled brightly. “You are so good…”
Mingyan tilted his head. “I’m asking you a question.”
“I… want to stay at Yaochi,” Yue Ningshuang took a deep breath and said. “Because before, I always thought… I had to leave Yaochi, so I planned to go to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow with you. But just as you said, I grew up here. Naturally, I don’t want to leave… I’m sorry, husband. I’ve disappointed you…”
Mingyan smiled and held Yue Ningshuang’s hand. “What do you mean by disappointment? My sister is at Yaochi, and Wind Spirit Moon Shadow and Yaochi have a good relationship. What’s the difference between you being at Yaochi and at Wind Spirit Moon Shadow? It’s just a little farther. But in the future, when the large teleportation gates are repaired, what does this distance count for?”
Yue Ningshuang looked at Mingyan. Seeing that not only was he not disappointed at all, but he was also trying to comfort her, she couldn’t say what she was feeling.
Sometimes Yue Ningshuang herself didn’t understand her own thoughts. She was clearly just playing a role, but many times, she would really treat herself as Yue Ningshuang and then think about problems from Yue Ningshuang’s perspective, to consider, to experience…
Yue Ningshuang was silent, thinking of the Mandarin Duck mirror. Was she really influenced by it, or was she deceiving herself… actually, she…
“Since you’ve decided to stay at Yaochi, then you have to move back first. You are, after all, a core disciple of Yaochi. To live in this kind of place is too far,” Mingyan smiled. “After this, just tell Aunt Ning.”
Yue Ningshuang came back to her senses and nodded lightly. She looked at Mingyan, an indescribable emotion in her heart. After a long while, she asked, “Husband… if one day, I mean if, I deceived you for some unavoidable reason, would you hate me?”
Mingyan looked at Yue Ningshuang and tilted his head slightly. “Deceive me? Why would you deceive me?”
“I’m just making a hypothesis~” Yue Ningshuang held Mingyan’s arm, held it in her arms, and said coquettishly.
“Probably not angry. After all… even if you lied to me, it would probably be some insignificant matter,” Mingyan thought for a moment and said with a smile.
It was hard to imagine that this Yue Ningshuang, who could give everything for him, would deceive him on some big matter. As for betraying him, that was completely unthinkable.
Yue Ningshuang also smiled, but in her smile, there seemed to be a hint of bitterness.
Forget it… forget it…
Yue Ningshuang, oh Yue Ningshuang…
Ning Mengru, oh Ning Mengru…
This is an experience like the dream I had at the edge of the Western Continent… one day, I will have to wake up…
She and he are people from two different worlds…
Yue Ningshuang is not a real person… one day, she will disappear in front of him…
I hope this little man won’t be sad because of her sudden departure…
…
Another two days passed. Wang Qingchu sent a mental message to Mingyan, telling him that she had found Gu Hanshuang’s location. Gu Hanshuang was not at Standing Sword Peak, but she was heading in that direction!
Counting the time, they could directly set off for Standing Sword Peak and should be able to meet Gu Hanshuang.
Since that was the case, Mingyan did not waste any time. He took Yue Ningshuang with him and also brought Ning Feixuan, and then they set off.
Mingyan’s intuition told him that the white jade small sword must be related to his mother…
Even… could save his mother…!
