Xiao Ning and the other two came to the gate and saw from afar a woman wearing a veil and a plain dress standing quietly in front of the Xiao Mansion, followed by two followers in black. Leng Qingqiu was standing aside. When she saw Xiao Ning and the others coming, she hurried over and said anxiously, "Senior Sister, you are finally here! This woman specifically wanted to see Ning'er, but I didn't agree, and she just stayed here and refused to leave."
Xiao Ning looked at the woman, muttering to himself that he seemed to have seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. Just as he was about to step forward to ask, Chu Qian suddenly reached out to stop him. Xiao Ning smiled slightly, saying that there was no need to worry, then walked to the woman and asked softly, "Sir, I am Xiao Ning. I wonder what you want from me?"
The woman raised her head and her eyes fell on the man. After carefully examining him, she confirmed his identity and gently removed the veil from her face. A delicate and small face was revealed. It turned out to be the emperor of Great Chu - Xiang Yuxin. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Master Xiao, I am Xiang Yuxin, and Nangong Luoyu is my master."
Xiao Ning stared at the woman's face and soon recognized who she was. Memories related to her emerged in his mind. He fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to himself: "She came to see me, did she want me to go back?"
Then she cried, "Mr. Xiao, please help my master! My master, she's gone crazy..."
"What!" Everyone was shocked. Xiao Ning hurried forward and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with her? Why is she crazy?"
"Master misses you so much that during the time you were away, she lost her appetite and locked herself in the house all day. Now she is even more crazy and keeps calling your name. Master Xiao, please save Master!"
"No!" Chu Qian stepped forward to protect Xiao Ning: "Her madness has nothing to do with Ning'er, she brought this upon herself! She deserves it!"
Chu Qian's words made everyone silent. After a while, Xiao Ding said, "Madam, Senior Sister..."
"Shut up, you still call her Senior Sister!" Chu Qian stared at Xiao Ding with eyes wide open, her eyes full of anger and disappointment. She couldn't understand why Xiao Ding still wanted to defend that woman. Couldn't he see how much harm Nangong Luoyu had caused them?
Xiao Ding was frightened by Chu Qian's eyes. He had never seen his wife so angry. He lowered his head and stopped talking, but his heart was full of contradictions.
Xiao Ning was very conflicted when he saw his parents quarreling. His feelings towards that woman were also very complicated. On the one hand, there were the little things they had experienced and the night they had been together. On the other hand, Nangong Luoyu wanted to hurt the people around him. He was caught in a dilemma and didn't know how to deal with it. He could only stand there and think silently.
At this moment, the atmosphere in front of the gate was extremely tense. Everyone was silent, not daring to break the silence easily, for fear of touching the sensitive and fragile nerves between the couple.
At this moment, Xiang Yuxin bent her knees and knelt down suddenly, making a muffled sound. This sudden action shocked the followers behind her, and they rushed forward to help her, but Xiang Yuxin stretched out her hand to stop them.
Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was filled with tears: "Master Xiao, please... I have lost all my loved ones, and only my master is left. Please, save her..." Before she finished her words, she began to kowtow to the ground, and her forehead made a crisp sound when it hit the cold stone slab.
Everyone present was moved. A dignified empress would actually kneel down and kowtow to a young man in public. This kind of scene was simply unimaginable in ancient times, but it was actually happening before their eyes at this moment.
Xiao Ning hurriedly stepped forward, helped Xiang Yuxin up, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are of noble status, there is no need to do this. Please allow me some time to think about it." After that, he turned to face Xiao Ding and Chu Qian, trying to ease their excited emotions with a gentle attitude.
Chu Qian was still angry. She glared at Xiao Ning and turned to leave. Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly and followed his wife inside. Everyone was left to face this difficult situation and fell into deep thought.
After Xiao Ning asked Xiyue to take Xiang Yuxin to stay temporarily, he came to the Xiao couple's room with a heavy heart. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his father Xiao Ding persuading his mother Chu Qian earnestly.
"Madam, calm down. If Senior Sister goes crazy, there will be no hope for Ning'er to break the seal!" Xiao Ding's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
"Senior Sister! Senior Sister, you only know your senior sister. It doesn't matter if she has lost her cultivation. At most, I can support Ning'er for the rest of her life. At most, I can give my life to Ning'er!" Chu Qian was extremely excited. Her tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was a little tearful.
Xiao Ning watched his parents quarreling, his head buzzing, as if countless bees were flying around his ears. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly walked into the room.
When Chu Qian saw Xiao Ning coming in, she rushed forward and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. Her tears poured out like a flood, soaking Xiao Ning's clothes.
"Ning'er, we don't need to practice cultivation. Even if you die in the future, you have your mother here. She will extend your life!" Chu Qian's voice was full of firmness and determination. She gently stroked Xiao Ning's cheek with her trembling hands, her eyes filled with endless maternal love.
Xiao Ning looked at his mother's determined expression, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He understood his mother's love for him, and knew that she was willing to give everything for him. However, he did not want to be a burden to his mother, and he did not want her to suffer more pain and pressure because of him.
