Chapter 53 It's still unclear who will drag whom down
"Are you really not going to wait for Brother Jing?" Sun Huchang hesitated, "Maybe he will be here soon."
Fu Ning said, "It's okay, no need to wait, it's not like we won't be able to see each other."
In fact, she had already heard from the system that Song Jinghe was put in solitary confinement because he wanted to cancel the engagement and might not be able to make it here.
The system was a little worried. "Boss, it seems that the Song family cannot accept a woman from the human world marrying into their family. Why don't we just expose the identities of the villain and the hero, and then take advantage of the villain being ostracized and suppressed to show him some warmth and gain the last bit of favorability."
Fu Ning shook his head and said, "I want to see what choice Song Jinghe will make between the Song family and me."
System: "Boss, with all due respect, I advise you not to test the villain. He will definitely choose the Song family."
Fu Ning was eager to try, "Little system, want to make a bet? I bet he chooses me."
System: The host's self-confidence is something it can never learn.
Seeing that it didn't answer, Fu Ning asked again.
The system then said: "The penalty period for our last bet has not yet passed."
Fu Ning: "I won't make it difficult for you this time. If I win, you can help me get discounts in the points mall. If you win, I'll save a thousand for travel expenses as usual. How about that? Is it within a reasonable range this time?"
The system thought about it and decided that a discount in the points mall was a reasonable request. It could submit an application to the host once a year, but it had not submitted an application this year.
Besides, the system is full of confidence this time. It will definitely win. It has made careful calculations. With the villain's character, he will definitely give up love in front of his family.
"Okay, let's make a bet. You can't deny your debt if you lose." said the system.
"Don't worry."
As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at Yuanchu Peak under the guidance of the monks. The monk at the mountain gate assigned them two rooms. Seeing that they brought Lu Wu with them, the monk informed them of Lu Wu's range of activities. Finally, he emphasized, "Fu Ning and Bai Lingke must be prepared. The first ability test will be conducted in the afternoon. This test is very important and is related to your future destination."
Bai Lingke nodded seriously, but Fu Ning asked, "Do you know how to get to the Weapon Refining Peak?"
The monk pointed her in the direction and kindly reminded her, "You cannot enter the Weapon Refining Peak at will. You must explain your purpose at the mountain gate, otherwise you will be driven out."
Fu Ning looked at the direction of her finger, which should be the former Jin Guangfeng, "Okay, thank you."
After saying that, she pulled Sun Huchang to sit on Luwu and head towards the Weapon Refining Peak. Bai Lingke originally wanted to go back to rest, but when he heard that they were looking for Yin Huayue, he followed them.
——
When Song Zhizhi passed by the Weapon Refining Peak, she saw several strange cultivators and two Luwu surrounding the mountain gate. Among them was a woman who was only in the Consecration Stage. She was probably the family member of a cultivator from the human world.
She glanced at him hastily without paying attention, but she heard Yan Qu shout, "Miss Fu?"
Fu Ning turned around and saw Yan Qu and Shen Qingning. Next to them was an unfamiliar female cultivator who looked very similar to Yan Qu, but her facial features were much softer than Yan Qu's. She immediately guessed that this person was Song Jinghe's sister.
Song Zhizhi was a little confused. She didn't know how Yan Qu knew a woman with such low cultivation level. "What Miss Fu?"
Shen Qingning, who had been silent, said, “She is Jinghe’s wife.”
During the past half month, she has gradually let it go. Since Song Jinghe fell in love with someone else and married someone else, why should she cling to him? She is the daughter of the Shen family and there is no problem in finding someone better.
Besides, she had to admit that Fu Ning's talent in alchemy was much stronger than hers, which was truly enviable.
Song Zhizhi looked at Fu Ning from a distance. She was tall and thin, with a wheat-colored complexion. Apart from her eyes being darker and brighter than others, her face was completely unremarkable. She even had some freckles on her cheeks. She looked like a woman from a remote village.
How could his brother fall for a woman like this? She really couldn't understand why he wanted to break off the engagement with Sister Qingning for a woman like this.
Shen Qingning suddenly said, “Could Jinghe’s disappearance be related to Miss Fu?”
Song Zhizhi hurried forward, introduced herself, and asked, "Miss Fu, have you met my brother?"
Fu Ning shook his head.
Sun Huchang said at the side: "Brother Jing, you won't miss it. Is he still waiting in the teleportation array?"
"It's possible!" Song Zhizhi clapped her hands and looked at Fu Ning, "Let's go to the teleportation array and take a look."
Fu Ning didn't want to go because she hadn't met Yin Huayue yet.
But just as she was about to refuse, she found that everyone was looking at her, as if it would be extremely unreasonable for her not to go.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Then let's go and take a look."
On the way to the teleportation array, the system began to introduce Song Zhizhi to her, "...She is an important female supporting role. Obtaining all favorability points can be exchanged for 4,000 points. The current favorability is minus 20."
Fu Ning was puzzled: "Isn't she Yan Qu's biological sister? How come she has fewer points than Bai Lingke? He can redeem 6,000 points."
"Uh... because Song Zhizhi and the heroine don't get along, she has been using her identity as the hero's sister to secretly snatch the hero away, which has caused readers to be disgusted."
"The younger sister and the heroine are competing for a man? How can there be such a scene?" Fu Ning's mouth twitched, "What kind of novel is this? Why is the hero so popular? Yunlan is competing for it, and the younger sister is also competing for it. Don't tell me that there are other women competing for the hero, right?"
"...Indeed, there is more." The system was silent for a while, and then explained, "The main reason is that the title of the novel is "The God of Medicine Loves Me Alone". Boss, did you notice the word "alone"? "
Fu Ning: “I didn’t notice.”
The system continued, "In order to highlight the exclusive favor, the original book brought in several cannon fodder female supporting characters to contrast with the heroine, showing the hero's unwavering loyalty and his touching love for only the heroine."
"Huh." Fu Ning frowned in disdain. For the first time, she was glad that she did not appear in the novel, otherwise she would most likely be a female cannon fodder who stole the male lead.
——
When everyone arrived near the teleportation array, they saw a tall figure in a dark blue robe, who was standing there and was quite pleasing to the eye.
Song Zhizhi recognized Song Jinghe at a glance and shouted, "Brother!"
Song Jinghe turned around and saw them.
Fu Ning sighed to the system in his heart: "It's been so long, and this is the first time I see Song Jinghe standing from behind."
system:"……"
Song Jinghe walked towards Fu Ning, "Xiao Shuang, you are here."
Fu Ning nodded and looked at his legs. Although he tried his best to hide it, she could tell at a glance that he was not walking steadily, so she deliberately asked, "Are your legs okay?"
"Well, it's almost healed."
Song Zhizhi couldn't help but expose her brother. The doctor clearly said that he would need another month to recover.
Fu Ning nodded at him, "Don't I know about your leg? Are you stupid? There are no monks guarding here, you should know that we have left."
Song Jinghe laughed, "I really don't know."
Song Zhizhi felt uncomfortable watching from the side. Her brother's heart and eyes were now completely on this woman. He completely ignored everyone else. He even didn't use a cane to see her. Wasn't he afraid that he would develop a disease in the future?
The aura between the two people prevented her from getting a word in, and her favorability towards Fu Ning dropped by another five points.
Yan Qu felt a little redundant standing here, so he pulled Shen Qingning and said, “Now that we have found Mr. Song, our mission is over, so let’s leave first.”
He asked again: "Miss Song, do you want one?"
Song Zhizhi stamped her feet, not wanting to stand there any longer. "I'll go home and report this to my father."
After the three of them left, only Fu Ning and Song Jinghe were left. She said, "Don't be so stubborn. Go back on Xiaoya."
"Xiao Shuang, the doctor said my leg will be healed in a month."
"I know, it's mainly my credit." Fu Ning said as a matter of course.
"Yes." Song Jinghe nodded with a smile.
The Song family is located halfway up Bixi Peak. As soon as the two of them walked to the door, the housekeeper came out and said to Fu Ning, "Miss Fu, right? Our master invites you to come in and have a seat."
The smile on Song Jinghe's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Fu Ning worriedly, fearing that his father would say something unpleasant.
Fu Ning smiled and said, "I should indeed pay my respects to your master, but I came here unprepared today. Please don't be offended."
The butler made a gesture of invitation, and Fu Ning led Xiao Ya in leisurely.
The Song family is worthy of being a great family of cultivation. Although the entrance is not conspicuous, once you enter the mansion, you will find that it is a grand place. The pavilions and terraces are very majestic, and the maids walking around in the corridors seem to be walking on the clouds.
The housekeeper turned a few corners and led her into the reception room.
Fu Ning immediately saw the majestic middle-aged man sitting in the main seat. He must be Song Jinghe's father, and standing next to him was Song Zhizhi.
He said to Fu Ning, "Please sit down."
Fu Ning didn't hesitate and found a chair to sit down.
Song Shouzhen frowned slightly. She was indeed a girl from a small place and didn't know the rules at all.
He said, "I heard that you and Jinghe have already married in the human world?"
Fu Ning nodded.
Song Shouzhen said, "Do you know that marriage is an important matter and you need to obey your parents' orders?"
"Yes, my mother agreed."
Song Shouzhen's words got stuck in his throat, and he continued, "But as Jinghe's father, I had no idea about it. In fact, Jinghe had already been engaged to the girl from the Shen family, and both parents agreed to it, so your marriage is invalid."
Fu Ning tilted his head and said, "Strange, since Jinghe and I are already married, the previous engagement should be invalid, right?"
It was unclear whether the girl was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Song Shouzhen was so angry that he decided not to beat around the bush with her anymore and said directly, "Miss Fu, I cannot agree to your marriage. The gap between you and Jinghe is too big. If you really like him, you would not want to drag him down."
Song Jinghe frowned and said, "Father, how can you say that..."
The system said: "Boss, the villain's father's words are too harsh, we don't need to pay attention to it."
Fu Ning snorted coldly and said to it, "I care a lot."
The system continued to comfort her, "Boss, just be patient and it will pass. There's no need to argue with him."
"Why should I endure it?" Fu Ning asked curiously.
"Ah...don't we need to get the villain's father's approval?"
"Little system, what we want is Song Jinghe's points, not to join their Song family."
Then the system heard Fu Ning laugh and said to Song Shouzhen disdainfully: "Look at what you said, it's not certain who will be a burden to whom."
Song Shouzhen was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils. He pointed at her and said, "You...you are too arrogant!"
