Chapter 393: Appoint Xiao Ying as the Patriarch, Ning Guogong’s Welcome Gift
She was confused, wondering if someone was spying on her again?
But she quickly dismissed the idea. If someone came to monitor her, it would be impossible for him to break into the guard array.
Therefore, these two people were most likely here with Duke Ningguo and her mother.
Furthermore, Ling Yun did not issue any warning, which meant that the two people were not in danger for the time being.
Thinking of this, she looked at Duke Ningguo thoughtfully and invited the two of them into the main hall.
The maids immediately brought tea, melons and fruits. Although the Duke of Ningguo and the other man could not sense the spiritual energy contained in them, they found the fragrance pleasant.
Just taking a few sniffs will make you feel refreshed and invigorated.
"I've heard from your mother before that your house is unusual. Seeing it today, it's indeed true."
Duke Ningguo picked up the tea and took a sip, his face full of satisfaction.
"Just talking about this tea, it's even more delicious than the tribute tea I've had. Could it be that it contains spiritual energy?"
Xiao Ying didn't intend to hide it and nodded, "It does contain spiritual energy. Grandpa also knows about spiritual energy?"
Duke Ningguo smiled with a hint of pride and said, "You really look down on your grandfather too much."
"I am at least a Duke of the current dynasty. When my grandfather followed the ancestors of the Yu family to conquer the world, he knew about the existence of cultivators."
"It's just that there are only a few people with spiritual roots in the secular world. My Ning family has been passed down for several generations, but we haven't been able to produce even one."
Having said that, he looked at Xiao Ying meaningfully.
"The elixirs you gave to the Ning family are all very valuable. If I am not mistaken, you, Yingying, are a cultivator, right?"
Xiao Ying understood a little and thought to himself that the Ning family did have some secrets.
She seemed to have guessed the purpose of Duke Ningguo's visit.
"Grandpa has a keen eye. I am indeed a monk."
She admitted frankly that she had intended to show off her strength since she gave the pills to him.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Duke Ningguo suddenly laughed heartily, with a hint of admiration in his excitement.
As expected of someone he favors, he acts straightforwardly and without reservation.
Of course, this also shows that Yingying is confident enough and is no longer afraid of her identity being known.
He secretly thought that his granddaughter's strength might be stronger than the two cultivators recruited by his Ning family.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It would be great if he was strong.
The stronger Yingying becomes, the greater the hope that their Ning family will become a family of immortal cultivators in the future. It is time to truly change their family's status!
"Grandpa, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Ying wondered.
Duke Ningguo looked at her deeply before putting away his smile.
"Grandpa is so happy! Our Ning family finally has a cultivator!"
"You may be curious about the reason for your grandfather and mother's sudden visit. It is mainly related to your life experience."
"I heard from your mother that you are willing to go to the capital and return to your ancestral home, but you have set a deadline."
"But now the news has spread all over Kyoto, saying that you are the legitimate daughter of the Zhenyuan Marquisate, and Han Ye is just a fake prince."
"There was much discussion both inside and outside the court. Some even proposed abolishing Han Ye's status and official position as Crown Prince, but the emperor temporarily suppressed it."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Ying's reaction, but Xiao Ying's expression remained indifferent and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He was quite moved. He was indeed a cultivator, as he was so sophisticated at such a young age.
But only in this way can he be worthy of becoming the head of the Ning family.
"It should be Nangong Jingyan who did it."
Xiao Ying also heard about this incident not long ago, and his first reaction was Nangong Jingyan's revenge.
Knowing that her identity was exposed, she guessed that her mother might take action.
But I didn’t expect that someone from the Ning family would also come, and he was the old Duke.
"Nangong Jingyan?"
Duke Ningguo was stunned, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
But how did Yingying know?
Even he, the Duke, doesn't know who is behind this kind of thing.
Xiao Ying said: "Nangong Jingyan is the last disciple of Jingguo's national master, and he is very powerful."
She gave a brief account of the other party's situation. Duke Ningguo and Ning Leshu were dumbfounded and stood there in shock.
Jingguo actually wants to kidnap Yingying?
Yingying and Prince Chen also fought with the Imperial Preceptor of Jing State. Even the head of Yu family and the founding emperor Yu Ling was dispatched?
The two felt as if they were listening to a heavenly book, and were shocked and horrified.
It turns out that such a thing happened at a time they didn't know about!
The two men's gazes towards Xiao Ying also changed. Yingying was so important? Even the Jing State's Imperial Preceptor was trying to snatch her away?
After being shocked, Duke Ningguo became excited again.
He had long guessed that Yingying was quite powerful, but he didn't expect her to be even more powerful than he imagined.
This move by his Ning family is definitely right!
"Yingying, are you okay?"
Ning Leshu asked with concern.
"No." Xiao Ying shook his head: "But Nangong Jingyan was seriously injured."
"I guess he was so angry that he exposed Han Ye and me, hoping to use this to strike a blow against him and the Marquis of Zhenyuan."
The Duke of Ningguo and the other man looked at each other and finally understood the whole story.
"Then, Yingying, are you willing to go to the capital with us in advance?"
Ning Leshu finally stated his purpose, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Don't worry, Dad and I have already discussed it. We will publicly announce your identity when the time comes."
"You are the legitimate daughter of the Zhenyuan Marquisate!"
"As for Han Ye, it depends on the emperor's opinion, but I'm afraid he won't be able to sit on the throne of the crown prince."
Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows. Last time, Ning Leshu was planning to make up a lie about twins. Now that he was exposed this time, did he give up on Han Ye completely?
So if this incident had not happened, the Han family would have wanted both.
The Han family's actions are directly related to her future attitude.
If she still wanted to keep Han Ye, she would at most put him in the family tree to help the original body find his ancestry.
But there will not be too much contact with the Han family.
If he gave up Han Ye and just treated her as a member of the Han family, then he could visit her more often in the future and even treat her as a real relative.
She took a sip of tea slowly, while Ning Leshu felt a little nervous, fearing that she would not agree.
At this moment, Duke Ningguo suddenly spoke.
"Actually, we two have another purpose for coming here this time."
"Yingying, if you are willing, my Ning family can immediately appoint you as the head of the family."
"From now on, you will lead the Ning family, and all of the Ning family's resources will belong to you!"
Ning Leshu also thought of this and quickly nodded in agreement.
"The same goes for the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Although your father doesn't know about this yet, I believe he won't object."
Now it was Xiao Ying's turn to be stunned, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The Ning family and the Zhenyuan Marquisate actually wanted to worship her as the head of the family and let her lead them? And even offer her all their resources?
This is equivalent to putting the entire family's future on her shoulders.
What made them make such a decision?
Considering what Duke Ningguo had said before, she suddenly understood.
The Ning family was attracted by her identity as a cultivator and wanted to use this as an opportunity to become a family of immortal cultivators!
As for the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, since her adoptive father was unaware of it, there was nothing much to say now.
She looked at Duke Ning calmly. The Ning family had great ambitions.
"To show my sincerity, I have also brought along two cultivators recruited by the Ning family. I will give them to you, Yingying, as a gift."
As soon as Duke Ningguo finished speaking, the two strange auras suddenly arrived and stood in front of Xiao Ying with respectful expressions.
