“Uncle Guang, my father’s life is hanging in the balance. I am his only daughter. How can I stand idly by?” Ningxi said through gritted teeth.
Her trembling body proved that she was not calm at the moment.
She grew up in a special family; her mother left when she was very young, and her father raised her single-handedly.
He taught her martial arts, the principles of being a good person, and the business acumen, enabling her to become the capable manager she is today!
The most important person in her life is her father!
She couldn't imagine how she would live without her father!
"Young Miss, please reconsider!"
Wu Guang said urgently, "It is precisely because the Pavilion Master's life or death is uncertain that you must be even more careful about your safety! If anything happens to you, our Dragon Pavilion will be leaderless, and how will we cope? The old Pavilion Master has worked hard to build the business to where it is today, so you absolutely cannot let anything happen to you!"
"And don't forget, the Pavilion Master is surrounded by experts, and he himself is a peak expert in internal energy. How powerful is this force! It is even invincible below the Martial Arts Grandmaster level! Even so, only A Bao returned, which shows what kind of danger they encountered! If there were no experts at the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, they probably wouldn't have been able to handle it. Even if you went, it wouldn't have made a difference!"
Ningxi bit her red lips slightly. As clever as she was, how could she not see through this!
But she was so eager to save her father that she couldn't just do nothing, could she?
"If my father dies, I cannot live on alone. This is a calamity for us, father and daughter. I cannot let my father bear it alone!"
Ning Xi slammed her hand on the table, her gaze sharp, and said, "Uncle Guang! After I leave, Longxuan Pavilion will be in your hands. If my father and I don't come back, from now on, you will be the head of Longxuan Pavilion! My father is a philanthropist, and most of the money he earns has been given back to society. This is also the purpose of Longxuan Pavilion. I hope you can inherit my father's legacy and continue to do charity work!"
After Ningxi finished speaking, she prepared to leave.
thump!
Wu Guang knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Miss, what are you saying! What am I, Wu Guang! I was just a street performer back then. Without you and the Pavilion Master, I would have frozen to death on the street long ago. How can I be worthy of the position of Pavilion Master? Please reconsider!"
"My mind is made up, no need to say more! Summon the twelve mute slaves to assemble in the main hall!"
Ningxi said this and strode out.
Suddenly, Wu Guang thought of something, crawled two more steps on his knees, and shouted, "Miss, if you insist on going, I won't stop you, but the twelve mute servants alone may not be able to deal with Tianyuan! This old servant has a way to ensure your safety and the Pavilion Master's safety!"
Ning Xi paused for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What's your plan?"
Wu Guang quickly said, "Miss! Have you forgotten? One of Sect Master Lin's subordinates has the cultivation of a martial arts grandmaster! If you can get such an expert, perhaps you can handle this trip to Tianyuan with ease!"
Ningxi's eyes lit up slightly.
Yes!
How could she not have thought of that!
Recalling that day, when Lin Yu's subordinate named Feng Jiu attacked with such ferocity, her heart pounded wildly.
However, she thought of something else and said, "Putting aside whether I can get such a person to help, now that Sect Master Lin has already clashed with a big shot in Yandu, if we associate with Sect Master Lin, we will inevitably offend a big shot and be forced to take sides. In that case, our Longxuan Pavilion will be as fragile as an egg. If Sect Master Lin is defeated, our great foundation of Longxuan Pavilion will probably be reduced to dust in an instant!"
Wu Guang said with a bitter face, "Miss, at a time like this, what's the point of thinking about taking sides? Our lives are the most important thing! At worst, after this is over, we can take our savings and leave the pass as soon as possible to start anew. It's not that difficult!"
Ning Xi nodded. "Uncle Guang, you're right. I was being petty. Alright, I'll go see Sect Leader Lin right now and ask him to lend me this expert so I can go to Tianyuan with him!"
...
Half an hour later.
Yunwu Mountain Villa.
Lin Yu was practicing martial arts at the villa.
Feng Jiu suddenly walked in, "Young Marshal, Ning Xi from Longxuan Pavilion has arrived!"
Lin Yu frowned slightly. "Ning Xi?"
Although they had only met once, he still had some impression of the woman.
"As the head of the Bright Eyes Sect, Longxuan Pavilion and I, the sect leader, are from the same lineage. Moreover, this girl did give me face that day, so I'll grant her an audience!"
Lin Yu waved his hand, "Let her in!"
Before long, Feng Jiu led in a beautiful woman.
thump!
Upon arriving, Ning Xi immediately knelt on the ground, clasping her hands together on the floor, pleading, "Please, Sect Leader Lin, save my father!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "If you have something to say, stand up and say it. You don't deserve such a grand gesture!"
Ningxi nodded, stood up, and then recounted the events surrounding Tianyuan.
After listening, Lin Yu understood the other party's intention.
Sure enough, Ning Xi turned to look at Feng Jiu, pleadingly saying, "I beg Senior Feng Jiu to lend a hand and come with me to Tianyuan to save my father! My Ning family will repay you handsomely!"
As Ningxi spoke, she took out a palm-sized wooden box from her bosom.
"This is the most prized treasure of my Dragon Pavilion, and I present it to Sect Master Lin!"
Snap!
When the wooden box was opened, a white jade seal suddenly came into view.
Lin Yu's eyes widened slightly. "This is... the Imperial Seal?"
The imperial seal has always been a symbol of imperial power!
This kind of thing is generally not available on the market; it is priceless, and its value cannot be measured by money!
"Sect Leader Lin has a good eye. This is the Imperial Seal of Liang Wudi from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It was looted by the Hu people a thousand years ago and, after many changes of ownership, ended up overseas. My father spent half his life savings to obtain this item!"
"If Sect Leader Lin can grant my request, I will present the Liang Emperor's Jade Seal with both hands!"
After speaking, she raised her arms and handed over the seal with both hands.
Lin Yu frowned, intending to refuse.
Although the Liang Emperor's Jade Seal was precious, his Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion also contained many such treasures, so there was no need to take what others loved.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a burning heat coming from his arm!
His eyes flickered, and he waved to Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu understood and immediately took the seal.
Lin Yu took the jade seal, examined it for a moment, and said, "Alright, since Miss Ning is so sincere, then..."
Lin Yu glanced at Feng Jiu and said with a smile, "My Feng Jiu, you can borrow her for now!"
Feng Jiu was slightly taken aback, and immediately revealed a resentful look in her eyes.
Lord Pavilion Master has never been the kind of person who is only after profit. Why would you sell yourself out for an item this time?
Ning Xi was overjoyed to see Lin Yu agree and immediately bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Sect Leader Lin!"
"If my father is safe and sound this time, my Ning family will remember Master Lin's kindness for the rest of our lives!" Ning Xi said sincerely.
