Under Nangong Luo Bing's care, Bai Xiao Yao's body finally recovered. Shang Shu Jie was so happy that he asked everyone to sit together and have a meal.
The table was filled with fine wine and delicacies. Shang Shangjie and Bai Xiaoyao sat in the main seat, with Shang Feng and Shang Yu on both sides, followed by Nangong Luobing, Murong Ling and Shangguan Ruoyu, and then Yue Qingyuan and Anu. Everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Naturally, they were very happy.
"Valley Master Nangong, you saved my wife's life. I thank you.”Minister Jie raised his wine cup and faced Nangong Luo Bing.
"Pavilion Master Shang, you don't have to be so polite. However, when Pavilion Master Shang mentioned this matter, I just remembered that someone still owes me something.”Nangong Luo Bing also raised her glass. Although she was injured and shouldn't drink, she was in a good mood and couldn't help but drink as well.
Everyone else who knew the truth froze. When they asked Nangong Luobing to cure the poison, they had already agreed that they would use Zhang Xingyan's life to exchange for his. Initially, everyone thought that Nangong Luobing was just joking. They didn't expect her to bring it up now. Could she really be…
"Oh, could it be that Feng 'er agreed to Valley Master's conditions? In that case, Feng 'er, whatever you promised the Valley Master, you must promise him.”Shang Shu Jie naturally didn't know the ins and outs of this, he only used his thoughts. Nangong Luo Bing naturally wouldn't come for nothing, she definitely had a condition.
When Shang Feng heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
"Feng 'er, what's wrong?" Bai Xiaoyao was also baffled when she saw him in such a difficult position.
"Pavilion Master Shang, there's no need to be anxious. We can settle these matters privately. I still have some things that I want to discuss with you.”
"Oh, okay, let's talk in the study later.”Shang Shujie thought it was about Bai Xiaoyao and wanted to avoid her.
Everyone fell silent again. They were originally in a good mood, but when they thought of Zhang Xingyan, Shang Feng and Shangguan Ruoyu lost their mood. Needless to say, Shang Feng and Zhang Xingyan could be considered friends because of their cooperation. Moreover, it was only natural for him to be worried because of his mother. Although Shangguan Ruoyu had decided to turn against him, the thought of Nangong Luobing taking his life made his heart ache so much that he was not in the mood to eat. Shang Yu had heard about this from Shang Feng and was also worried. Yue Qingyuan and Anu had also gotten to know Zhang Xingyan because of Shangguan Ruoyu. Therefore, only Shang Shujie and his wife, Nangong Luobing, and Murong Ling, who hadn't spoken much, were eating at the table. The rest of the people were frowning.
Just like that, after the strange meal, Nangong Luo Bing went to Shang Shujie's study room.
"Valley Master, is it my wife's poison?”Shang Shu Jie walked into the study room and asked Nangong Luo Bing nervously.
"No, I have some private matters that I want to ask Pavilion Master Shang about.”Nangong Luo Bing chuckled.
"Oh? What is it? I will definitely help if I can.”When Shang Shujie heard that it was not about Bai Xiaoyao, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I wonder if Pavilion Master Shang is an old friend of my father.”
"Your father, Nangong Jue." Shang Shujie was surprised.
Nangong Luo Bing nodded. Part of the reason she left the valley was because she wanted to know what the relationship between her father and Shang Shujie was.
Shang Shujie shook his head." I've only heard of the Valley Master's parents. Back then, Poison Saint Nangong Jue and Medical Saint Yi Shuimo were famous throughout the martial world.”When Shang Shujie said this, he seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and his brows were filled with pride.
"Pavilion Master Shang has no relationship with my parents.”Nangong Luo Bing didn't believe it.
"Sigh, before Feng 'er and Yu' er, Feng Yu Pavilion only had a place in the business world. How could we be close friends with the people in the martial world? I really don't know them. Valley Master, what's going on?”Shang Shu Jie was also confused.
Nangong Luo Bing was even more confused. If Shang Shujie was telling the truth, then why did her father say those words?
He asked Nangong Luobing.
"No, I have some private matters that I want to ask Pavilion Master Shang about.”Nangong Luo Bing chuckled.
"Oh? What is it? I will definitely help if I can.”When Shang Shujie heard that it was not about Bai Xiaoyao, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I wonder if Pavilion Master Shang is an old friend of my father.”
"Your father, Nangong Jue." Shang Shujie was surprised.
Nangong Luo Bing nodded. Part of the reason she left the valley was because she wanted to know what the relationship between her father and Shang Shujie was.
Shang Shujie shook his head." I've only heard of the Valley Master's parents. Back then, Poison Saint Nangong Jue and Medical Saint Yi Shuimo were famous throughout the martial world.”When Shang Shujie said this, he seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and his brows were filled with pride.
"Pavilion Master Shang has no relationship with my parents.”Nangong Luo Bing didn't believe it.
"Sigh, before Feng 'er and Yu' er, Feng Yu Pavilion only had a place in the business world. How could we be close friends with the people in the martial world? I really don't know them. Valley Master, what's going on?”Shang Shu Jie was also confused.
Nangong Luo Bing was even more confused. If Shang Shujie was telling the truth, then why did her father say those words?
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just heard my father mention Maple Feather Pavilion before he died, so I asked.”Nangong Luo Bing said half the truth.
"Oh, I see." Although Shang Shujie didn't believe it, he didn't ask any further and laughed heartily.
"In that case, Luo Bing will take her leave.”Nangong Luo bowed.
Shang Shujie looked at the light yellow figure that retreated with a proud and fierce look, and his brows were pensive.
When Nangong Luobing returned to her room, she saw the person she expected sitting at the table restlessly.
"Little Yu, you were looking for me." Nangong Luobing had expected Shangguan Ruoyu to come back for her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Bing 'er." Shangguan Ruoyu's lips twitched and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"What's wrong? I'm here for Zhang Xingyan." It was not a question, but a certainty.
Shangguan Ruoyu hesitated for a while and then nodded.
"Although I don't know what secrets you have or what kind of entanglement you have with Zhang Xingyan, since you've already cut ties with him, why should you care about his life and death?”Nangong Luobing also sat down, poured herself some tea, and drank it. She also poured a cup for Shangguan Ruoyu.
Shangguan Ruoyu took the tea, took a sip, and looked at Nangong Luobing." Please forgive me for not telling you because of my 'secret', but don't worry, I won't hurt you." As for Zhang Xingyan, even though we have nothing to do with each other anymore, I still hope that you can spare him this once. Just treat it as giving me his life.”When Shangguan Ruoyu said the last sentence, her tone was filled with hatred and pain.
"Leave it to you? In terms of martial arts, you are no match for him. In terms of manpower, I heard that he is the son of the Prime Minister. You only have Ah Nu and Young Master Yue. You are no match for him. How can you take his life? Besides, it depends on whether you want his life or not.”Nangong Luobing mercilessly pointed out the truth.
"I…of course I want to."
"If you really want to, wouldn't it be easier for me to use my unique poison to take his life? I'm still confident that very few people can cure my poison.”Nangong Luo Bing smiled.
Shangguan Ruoyu stopped talking. She knew that she couldn't lie to Nangong Luobing. Besides, she really didn't have enough reason.
"Little Yu, admit it. You don't want his life at all.”
Shangguan Ruoyu lowered her head and remained silent. It was a silent agreement.
"Don't worry. Although I'm not a kind person, I'm not someone who kills innocents. I never wanted his life.”Nangong Luobing couldn't bear to tease Shangguan Ruoyu anymore.
"It's true." Shangguan Ruoyu raised her head abruptly, her voice full of excitement.
"Of course, but he still owes me a promise. He promised me that he would do whatever I asked him to do.”Nangong Luo Bing chuckled.
Shangguan Ruoyu finally smiled. Although it was a light smile, since she knew that Nangong Luobing was just joking, she chatted with Nangong Luobing for a while and then left.
Nangong Luobing watched Shangguan Ruoyu leave and couldn't help but mutter," Love hurts."”
When Nangong Wan 'er, who had just walked in, heard her words, she couldn't help but tease," Miss, when are you going to find a son-in-law for our Pure Ice Valley?"”
"You little girl, wait until I find someone to marry you.”
"Miss…"
"Hehehe."
Their laughter was filled with joy.
