Ning Changfeng finally shut up and returned to his seat, a hint of displeasure on his face: "Why did you bring your friend home?"
"Where is the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl that I gave you last time? Give it to me and let me use it!" Ning Xue stretched out her hand directly and got straight to the point.
When she said that, I remembered that Ning Xue said that she handed over the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl to her superior. At that time, I didn’t know who her superior was. Maybe it was the boss of the killer world. It was not until today that I found out that it was her father!
Ning Changfeng frowned: "What do you want the bead for?"
Ning Xue said noncommittally, "I am useful!"
"Your friends need it, right?" Ning Changfeng said, leaving Ning Xue speechless.
Ning Changfeng stood up and said indifferently, "There will be a dance party in three days, which is Sunday night. Peng Shengyue from the Xi family has sent you an invitation. Go to the Xi family on time on Sunday night to attend the party."
Ning Xue said decisively: "I'm not going!"
"If you don't want the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl anymore, you don't have to go." Ning Changfeng rolled his eyes at her and turned to Man Yuanyi and said, "As for your friends... Yuanyi, take them to the guest room to rest first." After giving the order, he turned around and walked into the inner room without looking back.
It seems that I can’t get the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl for the time being. This Ning Changfeng is indeed just as Ning Xue said, a guy with a weird temper.
There was no other way, so Ning Xue told us to go and rest. She took us to the best guest room in the manor and said she would ask her father for it after she went to the Xi family's ball in three days. Then she left in a depressed mood.
Man Yuanyi tidied up our room and was about to leave. I stopped him and asked what was going on at Ningjiazhuang, where the Xi family came from, and why Ning Xue hated going to that dance so much? And yet Ning Changfeng wanted her to go anyway?
I was so frustrated by all the questions that I wanted to ask. I took this opportunity to ask Man Yuanyi all of them at once.
Speaking of this, Man Yuanyi also expressed helplessness. He said, "Actually, there are two major villages in Nanning Green City. One is Ningjia Village, located in the east of the city and known as 'Dongjia'. The other is Pengjia Village, located in the west of the city and known as 'Xijia'. Both families are Miao people. Their ancestors migrated here from the Miao border area to avoid disaster and changed their surnames and names. The Miao people have twelve clans, the twelve major Miao surnames. The Ning family's original surname was Ge Pu, and the Peng family's original surname was Ge Huan... Because of some events that happened to their grandparents, these two families never married out of their families. The younger generation directly chose a spouse from the younger generation of the two families. After marriage, they offered their yin and yang blood to the ancestors of both families to ensure the safety of both families. That's why my cousin Ning Changfeng was so anxious to marry Ning Xue to Peng Shengyue of the Xi family. But Ning Xue didn't like it, so..."
So that’s how it is!
I hadn't expected Ning Xue to have such a background. She was from the Gepu clan, one of the twelve branches of the Miao ethnic group. Gepu Xue was Ning Xue's real name... As for the younger generations of the Gepu and Gehuan families marrying each other, offering yin and yang blood to their ancestors to ward off disasters and achieve longevity, it might indeed be quite terrifying. Otherwise, why would they make it so solemn and ceremonious?
But speaking of never marrying out of one's family, what if the younger generations of both families were all male or all female?
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. But seeing that the two families have been living in peace until now, it seems that things are not as bad as I thought. I shook my head and didn't take it too seriously.
At night, I slept in the guest room, with Hongyi by my side. Huo Liang and Zhao Xi slept next door, and I could faintly hear some blushing, heart-pounding noises, but I won't bother mentioning them. I opened the bone-drawing technique book and read by candlelight. Later, Su Xiaoniu said, "While we still have time, teach me the other three simplest of the Five Elements spells."
I currently only know the metal and fire elements, and Su Xiaoniu has also taught me three more spells: wood, earth, and water. Arrow Willow Fairy, Earth Flowing Rock, and Waterfall. Aside from Waterfall, which requires a water source, the others can be cast with just a piece of yellow paper, a hand gesture, and a chant.
"With your current level of skill, you are more than capable of using this kind of low- to medium-level spell. I also discovered that after your experience and hard work over this period of time, you have already gotten rid of the rookie stage where you could only use yellow paper. Now, you can try using blue talisman paper!" Su Xiaoniu's words immediately made me feel refreshed.
