The Ning family occupies a large area, located in the center of Dongdao City, occupying half of the entire Dongdao City.
After Xue Qingyi arrived, she explained the situation to the guard at the door. The guard asked her to wait for a moment and then went into the mansion.
Not long after, when he came out again, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a manager beside him.
Xue Qingyi swept her spiritual sense and found that this person's cultivation was in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
She couldn't help but sigh.
The Ning family does have a Divine Transformation cultivator in charge. Even the clerk in charge of registration at the door has Golden Core cultivation. I wonder what kind of talents the family members have.
After the steward arrived, he swept his spiritual sense over Xue Qingyi and was surprised to see that she was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Why would a Qi-refining cultivator need to buy a fifth-level or higher alchemy furnace and medicinal herbs?
However, these expressions only flashed across his face for a moment, and then he looked at Xue Qingyi with a smile, and asked politely: "I am Ning Chang at home, and I am the manager of the mansion. May I ask your name, sir?"
"My surname is Ling, and the single character is Xi."
Xue Qingyi used the name of the eldest sister without hesitation, and then introduced Xiao Guan who was beside him to Ning Chang, "This is my uncle, his last name is Guan, and his last name is Xiao."
When the manager heard this, he immediately looked at the young and handsome male cultivator next to her. Discovering that the other person was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, he naturally assumed that those things were what he wanted to buy.
At this time, he immediately completed the registration for Xue Qingyi.
However, just as he was about to issue the token, a cold male voice suddenly stopped him: "Wait."
"Third Young Master, Ninth Young Miss." Ning Chang paused, and upon seeing the people coming, he spoke respectfully.
Xue Qingyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw two figures, a man and a woman, followed by a few people who looked like guards, walking towards them slowly.
The two leaders among them were a tall and handsome man and a pretty woman.
The two men looked to be around twenty years old. One had already reached the early Nascent Soul stage, while the other had just entered the Golden Core stage and looked a little unstable.
She couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering what the man's intention was in suddenly interrupting her.
"Third Young Master, Ninth Young Miss, is there any problem?" Ning Chang couldn't help but ask after the two of them approached.
The two did not answer.
The Ninth Miss followed the Third Young Master obediently and quietly, looking at Xue Qingyi and Xiao Guan with some curiosity with her beautiful almond eyes.
The third young master turned his gaze indifferently towards Xue Qingyi, opened his thin lips, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Young lady, since you have come to Dongdao City, you don't show your true face to others, but what are you worried about my Ning family?"
Xue Qingyi was stunned when she heard this.
Then she exhaled slightly, raised her hand and mobilized her spiritual power. The mask was taken off, revealing a beautiful and stunning face.
"Wow, what a beautiful sister!" Miss Nine exclaimed immediately.
The Third Young Master's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at her calmly, as if waiting for an answer.
"I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't trust the Ning family. It's just that I'm new here and I always felt that it would be safer if I dressed like this. I didn't expect that the third young master would see through me at a glance. It's my fault for not acting carefully." At this time, Xue Qingyi bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"What's your real name?" The Ninth Princess glanced at the name on the roster and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"My last name is Yue." At this point, Xue Qingyi naturally couldn't reveal her real name, so she just used the name of the senior sister, "My full name is Yue Lingxi."
"If that's the case, Third Brother, she's not lying. Ling Xi is her name. Besides, it's really not easy for women in the Yuan Realm to travel. Third Brother, please don't make things difficult for her."
"When did I say I would make things difficult for her? Now that we have made it clear, Uncle Chang, give her the token." The Third Young Master glanced at his sister and said helplessly.
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Ning Chang quickly handed the token to Xue Qingyi.
Xue Qingyi took it with her slender fingertips: "Thank you very much. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
She didn't want to deal too much with the locals, especially the Ning family. After saying this, she bowed slightly and prepared to leave.
"Eh? Don't leave in such a hurry."
The Ninth Miss took Xue Qingyi's arm in a very familiar manner, and introduced herself with a smile, "Sister, my name is Ning Fu, and this is my third brother, Ning Xian. Since we happen to meet today, why don't we be friends? Sister, you are in a hurry to go to the trading house to buy something, right? It just so happens that my third brother and I are going too, so why don't we go together! We can keep each other company on the way and talk!"
Xue Qingyi really wanted to refuse.
But when she met the pair of pure and enthusiastic eyes of the Ninth Miss, Nymph, she couldn't help but swallow her words of rejection.
Thinking that he would be staying here for some time, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to make friends with the Ning family members, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
When Nymph heard this, she immediately happily took her arm and walked forward.
Ning Xian shook his head, and together with Xiao Guan, the two followed them on the left and right.
In the front, Ning Fu was chattering, asking Xue Qingyi where she came from. Xue Qingyi followed what Xiao Guan had taught her before and just said that she was originally a disciple of a small and inferior sect. Later, this sect was swallowed up by other sects, and she became a casual cultivator, wandering around, and just came here today with her uncle.
Nymph seemed to have no doubt about this.
Ning Xian, however, suddenly said, "So, Miss Yue's golden elixir was shattered at that time?"
Xue Qingyi looked towards him immediately.
She frowned very slightly, thinking that the third young master was too sensitive.
"I may be a little abrupt. I just noticed that Miss Yue was wrapping the golden elixir with her spiritual power and wanted to buy some things for alchemy. So I guessed whether she wanted to heal her wounds, mend the broken golden elixir, or was planning to make a new elixir." Ning Xian didn't seem to feel sorry for prying at others and still spoke very bluntly.
Xue Qingyi looked at him and slightly raised the corner of her lips.
"The Third Young Master has a keen eye." This was all she replied.
This seemed to acknowledge Ning Xian's guess, but it also seemed like he was just flattering him perfunctorily.
Ning Xian couldn't help but frown slightly.
On the side, Ning Fu laughed happily, as if she was looking enthusiastic: "This is the first time I've seen someone who can make Third Brother lose face! Sister Yue, you don't know how annoying Third Brother's mouth is when it gets venomous! You are the first person who can control him!"
