Qin Qianning immediately told Wei Ye the news, and Wei Ye was not surprised.
He sneered, "In the last family competition, I overslept and came in third. This time, he expected that I wouldn't oversleep again.
So he deliberately increased the strength of other families, hoping that the Wei family would be crushed. He was waiting for me to take the last place.
I even hope that the Wei family will be squeezed out of the eight major families."
Qin Qianning sneered: "Then his plan is doomed to fail! However... in order to ensure my aunt's safety, Master will put on a good show with me later."
Wei Ye understood what she meant instantly. Her identity would be exposed as soon as she took action in the upcoming competition. Shangguan Rui would definitely go crazy if he knew that Ning Ran was involved with his apprentice.
So... he had to put on a show and take all the blame on himself to show that Ning Ran was unaware of it.
And...we can take advantage of this opportunity to send Qian Ning into the enemy's interior!
“I understand, your aunt has a look lock on her, and he won’t suspect anything if we put on a show.
Even if I suspect you, I won't know your identity, after all, you have Basil on you."
The two masters and apprentices guessed correctly. At this moment, a man in a white robe was sitting in the Ning family's audience seats. His face was very ordinary, but his temperament was extremely noble.
He looked at Ning Ran who was sitting on a high seat with deep affection: "Ran Ran... didn't you say you were bored recently?
I deliberately increased the strength of the eight major families so that they can fight for a longer time, so that you can have some fun.
But... the Wei family doesn't have it, after all, Wei Ye is so powerful, right?"
"Ranran, will you be angry with me because of Wei Ye?" He stared at Ning Ran with shining eyes, waiting for her answer.
Ning Ran responded to him expressionlessly: "Oh, as long as you are happy, I don't care. Anyway, the Ning family has many masters, so the first place will still belong to the Ning family."
Ning Ran deliberately pretended to be indifferent, as if she didn't care about the Wei family or other families at all.
She only cares about whether the Ning family can get first place.
After so many years, Shangguan Rui has asked her many times whether she still cares about Wei Ye. Even though she gives the same answer every time, he still doesn't give up.
In fact...a woman's body language can answer everything.
When facing someone she likes, she would want to have physical contact with him, but she hates Shangguan Rui's touch and is even willing to commit suicide to stop him.
So... this is already very obvious, Shangguan Rui has just been deceiving himself.
Or... he thought that her mind would change over time.
He was the one who caused her to be separated from her lover, caused her brother's family to be separated from his wife and children, and caused the Ning family to be torn apart. How could she possibly forgive him?
It will never be possible to change my hatred for him.
Shangguan Rui smiled happily when he saw her expression: "Ranran, you will definitely win! I promise!"
His eyes were full of doting, but Ning Ran ignored him and continued to stare at the field as if nothing had happened.
She didn't even dare to think about anything else in her mind. As long as she did, he would be able to hear her thoughts through the appearance lock and control her tightly.
If she had shown even a little bit of concern for Wei Ye and the Wei family, he would have gone crazy on the spot!
Who knows, he might just rush in and kill people.
A madman like him can do anything!
Shangguan Rui glanced at the Ning family's team and said, "Ranran, where is your outstanding disciple? Why don't I see her?"
Ning Ran frowned: "She is just studying at Lintian College and will not represent the Ning family in the battle. She is probably assigned to another family."
Shangguan Rui nodded. Many powerful spiritual practitioners would not be alone and would choose to register their names with a certain family.
They bring income and fame to the family, and the family provides them with resources and protection.
So...Xiao Wanwan is the same, probably chose other families.
Shangguan Rui glanced at the people from other families and complained, "You've been so good to this disciple, yet she's so ungrateful that she's registered under the Ning family name."
Ning Ran rolled her eyes at him rudely: "Is it possible that she had already been affiliated with other families before entering Lintian College?
And...with the Ning family's situation, do you think it's appropriate to let her in?"
Shangguan Rui saw that Ning Ran was a little angry and quickly comforted her: "Yes, yes, Ranran is right. The Ning family is indeed a bit chaotic with people like Ning Yu."
At this moment, Shangguan Rui did not look like a person in power standing at the top of the entire continent. Instead, he looked like a henpecked husband with no status in the family.
Ning Ran ignored his apology and simply searched for Qin Qianning in the crowd. She was of course aware of today's situation, so she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Strange... Why don't I see Wanwan?"
Shangguan Rui immediately became excited when he heard this: "Ranran, let me help you find her. You can just use your spiritual power to depict her appearance."
Ning Ran rolled her eyes at him again: "It's precisely because I didn't find that familiar face that I was surprised. I'm not blind."
Shangguan Rui smiled sheepishly: "Then she most likely used the face-changing technique to enter Lintian Academy! Ranran... I'm afraid your disciple has bad intentions."
Ning Ran frowned and said nothing, as if he was also suspicious of something.
When Shangguan Rui saw that she didn't say anything, his eyes darkened and he instantly locked his target on the Wei family.
In order to get close to Ranran, that bastard Wei Ye would do anything.
During this time when everyone was thinking about different things, the second round of family competition began. The competition was conducted in the form of a draw, and the eight major families were divided into four groups to fight.
This competition was also presided over by the elders of the council. They were a little scared when they saw Qin Qianning.
They still remember vividly how this girl almost drained all their spiritual power.
Elder Xing used his spiritual power to gather a lottery bucket containing several slips of paper. The order of the draw was the last family ranking.
So the Ning family was the first to draw lots.
Ning Ran waved her sleeves and a note appeared in her hand.
She knew without even opening it that the name inside must be the Wei family.
Because...Shangguan Rui just wanted to see her fight against Wei Ye, hoping that she could crush the Wei family.
As expected, when the note was opened, it was the Wei family. This way, the Wei family didn't even need to draw lots to go to the battlefield.
Ning Ran stared at Wei Ye and said, "Master Wei, please come in."
Wei Ye looked at Ning Ran with burning eyes. Only in such occasions could he look at her openly.
In the past, he thought she was too heartless, so he didn't dare to get close to her. He was even more worried that Shangguan Rui would transfer his anger towards her and go crazy and hurt her.
But now... everything is different.
They both have feelings for each other, and the only obstacle is Shangguan Rui.
The day to deal with those who are in the way is getting closer...
When Shangguan Rui saw Wei Ye's eyes, he became more certain that Wei Ye was still thinking about Ning Ran.
But there's no point in thinking about her, Ranran can only be his.
He gave Elder Xing of the Council a look, and Elder Xing immediately urged, "You two families should send people to fight quickly."
