Capítulo 1335: Chapter 1324: Something Major Has Happened!!!
Without carrying Ning Fan back to his room, considering that a drunken person needs care, Xu Xiaoqing had no choice but to bring him to her own room.
Of course, those girls would certainly take good care of Ning Fan and would even be quite willing to do so.
But Xu Xiaoqing wouldn’t give those little fairies the chance.
She noticed earlier that there were a few girls who left with a look of reluctance on their faces.
Xu Xiaoqing deceptively told herself, “You jerk. Listen up. I did this to save you. Otherwise, you’d be in big trouble today, and they’d surely devour you, skin and bones.”
Thinking of some embarrassing things, realizing that she was alone with him in the room, Xu Xiaoqing covered her blushing cheeks, not daring to look at Ning Fan.
After a long while, seeing Ning Fan still soundly asleep, Xu Xiaoqing said with some shame and anger, “You idiot Ning Fan, you jerk. Why did you drink so much, making me look like a fool.”
Saying this, Xu Xiaoqing, still unsatisfied, pinched his arm again.
“Where did these scars come from? Could they be from when he went out to sea?”
Noticing the abnormality on Ning Fan’s arm, Xu Xiaoqing hurriedly rolled up his sleeve.
Upon noticing the bluish-purple scars on his arm, Xu Xiaoqing’s tears flowed like a fountain, and she quickly covered her mouth to stifle her sobs.
Seeing the appearance and position of the scars, Xu Xiaoqing suddenly understood fully; all these scars were from her pinching earlier.
“You idiot, why didn’t you say something!”
Touching the alarming scars, remembering Ning Fan’s smile at that time, Xu Xiaoqing cried, “It’s all my fault, I’m the one who’s wrong. I shouldn’t have been so willful.”
After crying until her eyes were red and tears were dry, Xu Xiaoqing, exhausted but relentless, hurriedly brought hot water and ointment.
Unbuttoning Ning Fan’s clothes, the deeply guilty Xu Xiaoqing had no trace of shyness left, and gently wiped his body with a towel, applying the ointment.
…
Not knowing how much time had passed, Ning Fan opened his eyes and mumbled, “Where am I?”
Upon discovering that all his clothes, even his pants, had been stripped off, Ning Fan was startled awake, “Thankfully, they left me my underwear.”
Seeing the men’s clothes placed at the bedside, Ning Fan immediately put them on without a second thought.
Wearing them felt snug and comfortable, evidently custom-made for him.
“Could it be that a little girl actually came to keep me company last night? Otherwise, why would my clothes be taken off?”
Thinking of this, Ning Fan showed a sense of loss, as those passionate girls had left a deep impression on him.
Even though he wouldn’t suffer a post-drunk headache, Ning Fan’s memory was still fragmented from drinking too much last night.
As he opened the door, a young girl exclaimed joyfully, “Mr. Ning, you’re awake.”
Seeing the girl’s delicate face and the breakfast in her hands, Ning Fan stammered, “Uh! This… yesterday it was… was it…”
Wanting to know what happened yesterday, yet as he was about to speak, he didn’t know what to say.
He couldn’t directly ask, “Miss, were you the one who accompanied me?”
“Mr. Ning, please have some breakfast first. The young lady will be back soon.”
Gazing at Ning Fan’s attire, the girl giggled, “The young lady’s taste is spot on, this suit looks very fitting on you, sir.”
“You mean Xu Xiaoqing prepared this for me?”
“Yes! You stayed in the young lady’s room last night. She specifically sought us out to custom-make this outfit overnight.”
“I see.”
Ning Fan nodded, no wonder he found the fruitwood in front of him so familiar, the room behind him was indeed the main residence of the courtyard.
“Where’s Xu Xiaoqing?”
“The young lady is attending a ceremony, and left me here to wait.”
A previously nonchalant Ning Fan, hearing those words, suddenly sobered up, shouting angrily, “What ceremony?”
The girl seemed a bit frightened, timidly saying, “The Clan Leader Succession Ceremony!”
“What!”
Ning Fan’s expression turned grave, gritting his teeth as he spat out, “Damn you, Tian Xuan, you old bastard dared to trick me. This isn’t over between us.”
It seemed that yesterday’s celebration had been entirely a scheme to get Ning Fan drunk, facilitating the ceremony.
“To think I had genuine trust in your Celestial Clan, and this is how you repay me.”
Furious, Ning Fan stomped forcefully, launching himself into the air, rushing towards the heart of the Celestial Clan.
Seeing the ground beneath him crack like a spider web, the girl’s face turned pale, hurriedly shouting, “Mr. Ning, you’ve misunderstood, the young lady volunteered.”
But Ning Fan, flying further away, could no longer hear her words, disregarding the consumption of True Qi as he continued his aerial flight in succession.
“This is bad, something big has happened.”
The girl quickly left to report the news.
Upon reaching the heart of the Celestial Clan, the platform where the ceremony was held,
a scene that made Ning Fan clench his teeth in anger appeared. Xu Xiaoqing was already standing on the high platform, eyes closed and crowned with gold.
“Damn it. I came too late.”
It was quite evident that the Clan Leader Succession Ceremony had already begun.
“Good! Very good, indeed!”
Gazing at the clansmen surrounding the platform, Ning Fan was beyond furious, his eyes filled with murderous intent sweeping over the crowd like laser beams.
The Celestial Clan, eagerly anticipating the new clan leader, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts for no apparent reason.
Under the overwhelming murderous aura, everyone present felt as if millennium-old ice had invaded their bodies.
“This is not good.”
The highest cultivation level holder, Tian Xuan, immediately looked skyward, locking eyes with Ning Fan’s grim gaze.
“Mr. Ning, please don’t misunderstand…”
Before he could finish his words, an enormous pressure akin to the weight of Mount Tai descended from the sky,
instantly leaving Tian Xuan breathless, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.
Witnessing the brilliance flashing in Ning Fan’s hands, Tian Xuan coughed up old blood, roaring despite his internal injuries, “Form the formation!”
Although the platform was protected by a barrier, Tian Xuan dared not risk whether the barrier could withstand an enraged Ning Fan.
Xu Xiaoqing was at a critical juncture, and anything untoward happening would leave him no excuses, even if he were to die.
“Had I known, I’d have waited until Mr. Ning awoke, then held the ceremony.”
Tian Xuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of regret, admittedly finding himself in a difficult position as well,
for fear of Ning Fan forcibly intervening, they opted for the pre-emptive move.
Upon hearing the Great Elder’s command, the remaining four elders formed a Dharma Seal with their hands, their standing positions emitting a flash of Flowing Light, instantly forming a Five Elements Defense Formation.
Feeling the rapidly changing aura below, Ning Fan’s movements hesitated.
In the blink of an eye, this aura had ascended from the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery to the Intermediate Stage, with no signs of slowing down.
“Save Xu Xiaoqing first.”
Ning Fan’s pupils contracted, and he flew towards the high platform.
Just as he was about to reach it, a formidable aura exploded, stirring the winds and clouds around the high platform.
“It’s actually a true Aerial Mastery Peak!”
Ning Fan’s face bore a sinister smile, “But so what. You think laborers boasting about defeating a Peak Master was mere bragging.”
