Chapter 504 Chapter 506 Assassination
Rong Xianxian had originally prepared a spirit gathering talisman and various elixirs to break through to the Blood Refining Realm. However, after sensing this change in the spiritual energy, she had to postpone her plan to break through.
In recent days, Ning Qingyun went to the gate of Feilong College every afternoon to pick up the children, and came over to eat. Looking at the two children's happy smiles, Rong Xianxian couldn't say no.
In fact, she doesn't know what attitude to use towards Ning Qingyun now. According to the current situation, Ning Qingyun and Gong Hanyu have no personal feelings for each other. It must be Gong Hanyu's wishful thinking that has always regarded them as thorns in her eyes.
Ning Qingyun sent people to capture the Gong family’s base outside the safe zone, which was obviously a statement of his position to her. Logically, she should be able to resolve her emotional knot.
But in reality, as the date of her death in her previous life drew closer, Rong Xianxian felt more and more uneasy. Although many things had changed after she had lived a new life, that day still lingered in her mind like a curse.
Ning Qingyun would often stare at her while eating with a silly smile on his face. Seeing the usually noble and arrogant man acting like a pervert in front of him, Rong Xianxian couldn't help feeling a little shy.
It’s just the past, and the hardships they’ve gone through, it’s impossible for the two of them to go back to the way they were before.
Fortunately, Ning Qingyun seemed to adapt well to the change in Rong Xianxian's temperament. Ning Qingyun gradually found a way to make Rong Xianxian accept him, and a new pattern of getting along was formed between the two, which was somewhat entangled, somewhat ambiguous, and somewhat warm.
After dinner, Ning Qingyun had to go back to handle official business. After establishing two strongholds outside the Beijing safety zone, the members of the Tianhe Mercenary Group were reorganized. Pan Yang led the team to defend the stronghold near the misty forest, Huo Ye and Chai Ming led the team to defend the stronghold where three roads intersected. In the past few days, insects, animals, ants and butterflies in the wild have been in groups, as if they are migrating. Combined with the weather and seasonal conditions, Pan Yang and others realized that heavy rain might be coming.
While Pan Yang and others were actively defending and preventing enemy attacks, they were also digging ditches to prepare for flood disasters. Both strongholds were built in relatively high locations, especially the stronghold where three roads intersected, because there was a river flowing through it more than ten miles away. Even if there was heavy rain, it should not be flooded.
Ying Cai'e went to Sibao Tower every day, but unfortunately she never met Rong Xianxian. She tried to cause trouble here several times, but was always educated and driven out by the people from the Public Security Patrol Department.
Ning Qingyun had also warned her not to disturb Rong Xianxian. Ying Cai'e said that as long as Ning Qingyun agreed to return to the family, she would promise not to disturb Rong Xianxian again. However, Ning Qingyun ruthlessly drove her out.
Rong Xianxian originally thought that as long as she avoided seeing Ying Cai'e, Ying Cai'e would make a fuss a few times and then slowly calm down after she saw that she couldn't get what she wanted. But she didn't expect that one day when she went to pick up her child from school, she was actually bumped into by Ying Cai'e who was hiding in the car.
"Xianxian, I finally see you today!" Ying Cai'e was so excited that she wanted to hold Rong Xianxian's hand.
The corner of Rong Xianxian's mouth twitched, and she moved aside calmly.
Ying Cai'e missed her attack and staggered. She coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment.
Ning Qingning, who was accompanying Ying Cai'e, was immediately unhappy when she saw this. She rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, although you and your brother have only secretly agreed to spend their lives together and have not been recognized by the clan, you are not a legitimate young lady of the Ning family and may not have the face to enter the Ning family. However, my mother is your legitimate mother-in-law. My mother also visited you when you gave birth and were in confinement. How can you treat my mother like this?"
"Ningning, you also know that this is your sister-in-law. How can you speak to your sister-in-law like this?" Ying Cai'e pretended to frown and scolded.
"Tsk, my brother must have been crazy to marry a country woman." Ning Qingning curled her lips in disdain.
"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? You have never met your sister-in-law and don't know what kind of person she is. Your sister-in-law is gentle, polite and filial. You don't know how good she is. Why don't you apologize to your sister-in-law!" Ying Cai'e half-seriously hit Ning Qingning.
Normally, Ning Qingyun should be here by now, but I don’t know what happened to him today, so it seems like he may not come.
Rong Xianxian was impatient to watch the two mother and daughter acting against each other, "I don't know you two at all, you'd better stop acting. When Ning Qingyun and I got married, we only worshipped heaven and earth, not our parents. What's more, we have separated now, so I have nothing to do with you. Please make way, a good dog doesn't block the road!"
After Rong Xianxian finished speaking, she pushed Ning Qingning away and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Rong Xianxian felt a murderous aura coming towards her, and a sharp dagger appeared out of thin air three feet in front of her. Rong Xianxian leaned back, and at the same time, she grabbed the clothes of the mother and daughter with both hands and pulled them to the ground.
Ying Cai'e and Ning Qingning were unexpectedly pulled down by Rong Xianxian, and fell to the ground in an ungraceful posture like a dog chewing mud.
Ning Qingning's entire face hit the ground, and she saw stars. She felt that the bridge of her nose was about to break, and several of Ying Cai'e's porcelain teeth were knocked out. Ning Qingning jumped up from the ground like a madman, and wanted to settle the score with Rong Xianxian.
But all he saw was Rong Xianxian holding a long knife in her hand, sometimes slashing left and right in the air, sometimes jumping and flying, turning and moving, as if she was fighting with someone.
As the two fought, they gradually moved away from the school gate. Rong Xianxian activated the barrier bead and hid her figure.
The one who ambushed and assassinated Rong Xianxian was none other than the black-robed man who had made a deal with Gong Hanyu. He never expected that this woman, whose cultivation level was only at the Qi Bridge Realm, had such a sharp intuition that she could not only predict the coming of danger in advance, but also seemed to be able to sense his location.
The man in black robe has been secretly observing Rong Xianxian for several days. This woman is very vigilant. The defense of her residence is indeed average, but she has actually placed a formation in her residence that can detect fluctuations in spiritual energy. The reason why she can be invisible is the function of the cloak on her body. When the defensive function of the cloak is activated, the cloak will emit spiritual fluctuations, which can be detected by the formation. Obviously, it is impossible to launch a sneak attack at her residence, and he can only look for another opportunity.
Most of the people who stayed with Rong Xianxian on weekdays were her subordinates. The men in black robes were afraid that if they missed their strikes, they would be besieged by those people. Even if their combat power was not high, they could not withstand the large numbers. Moreover, they had those hot weapons with various powers in their hands, so the men in black robes were unwilling to take risks.
Today was a good opportunity to assassinate her at the school gate, but unfortunately, it failed.
