"Boss, I forgot something."
After Ning Hua left the clothing shop, Shan Qing turned back; Bai Ruoya had forgotten to take the wedding shoes.
"Oh dear, look at my memory, I completely forgot." The shopkeeper patted his head and quickly ordered the shop assistant to bring them their wedding shoes.
The servant was fiddling with the broken hairpin in his hand when he heard the boss call him. He put the hairpin on the counter and hurriedly went inside.
"Young master, since you and young lady have been so supportive of my business, I will give you a wedding veil later. It is made of the finest gold thread and is one of a kind. It will surely make the young lady shine on her wedding day."
"Really? Thank you then."
Dan Qing's gaze fell on the counter.
He stared blankly at the broken hairpin.
What's this?
It looks somewhat familiar.
Shan Qing picked up the hairpin from behind.
Why did holding it make him feel so sad, as if he had lost something in an instant? It made his heart ache unbearably.
"Young master, what's wrong?"
"Where did this hairpin come from?"
"Oh, a girl just came here and bought a lot of clothes, but I don't know why, she suddenly took out this hairpin and broke it off."
"The girl from just now?"
He just saw it.
It was a girl dressed in blue.
She seems to be very good-looking.
But he clearly doesn't know her.
"Young master, here they are, the young lady's wedding shoes." The shopkeeper wrapped the wedding shoes and bridal veil and handed them to Shan Qing. Shan Qing nodded, then suddenly took out a silver coin and handed it to the servant who had helped him find the shoes.
"Give me this hairpin, and this money is compensation."
After saying this, he tucked the hairpin into his pocket, picked up the wrapped wedding shoes and handkerchief, and turned to leave.
The shop owner and his assistant were left completely bewildered.
It seemed like fate had brought them together again; Bai Ruoya was waiting for Shan Qing at Tianxiang Tower.
Ning Ziyu also led Ning Hua and the Ning family disciples to Tianxiang Tower.
Because of the Bai family's daughter's wedding, quite a few scions of prominent families came to Tianxiang Tower.
Each aristocratic family has its own distinctive mark, making them easily recognizable.
The same applies to Ning Ziyu and her group.
They had barely entered Tianxiang Tower and hadn't even sat down when someone recognized them as members of the Ning family from Changbai Mountain.
"They are from the Ning family."
"Yes, that family of calamities."
"How dare they even walk around outside?"
"That's right. Once this calamity is eliminated, it will be a threat to all the sects and clans of our immortal sects."
"It's because the Ning family is so protective of their own, siding with their relatives instead of those in the right."
"How dare a family like this claim to be a prestigious family?"
"You—" Ning Ziyu was furious when she heard others insult the Ning family like that.
Just as he was about to stand up and argue with them, Ning Hua grabbed his hand.
"Ziyu, don't act rashly. Let them talk. They can only talk." Anyway, she was used to hearing these kinds of words since she was a child. Let them talk.
If it really came down to a fight, how could these people dare to do it?
The Ning family's unity and protectiveness of each other is one thing, but more importantly, the Ning family is also very powerful.
The new generation, in particular, is subtly ahead of the four major families.
"Pah, a bunch of cowards. Even after we talk to them like that, they don't dare to make a move."
When they saw that the Ning family seemed to want to make a move, these people were a bit scared. But when they saw that the Ning family sat down again and didn't seem to care about them, they became more and more excited.
"See? Even the Ning family members are feeling guilty."
"They didn't dare to make a move."
"I do hope they can fight us."
One of them scoffed, "I've heard that Ning Hongze of the Ning family is one of the best of our generation, a role model for us. But in my opinion, she's nothing special."
"Exactly, Ning Hongze always has a cold face, it's disgusting to look at."
"He's not really that capable, he just loves to put on airs—"
"But I must say, he's quite handsome, even prettier than most women. If I could capture him and use him as a furnace—wooo—"
Before the words were even finished, the person who spoke had already been grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
The petite woman looked at him coldly, tightening her grip slightly until his face turned blue.
"stop."
Another person drew his sword and slashed at Ning Hua.
However, Ning Ziyu was faster, and in an instant she moved in front of Ning Hua, blocking the sword's attack.
It was clear that Ning Hua was about to strangle the big man to death.
Bai Ruoya descended on her sword and grasped Ning Hua's hand.
"Young lady, it is wise to be forgiving."
“They spoke ill of my Ning family, and you all turned a blind eye. Now that I’m here to seek justice for my Ning family, you’ve shown up. It seems—” Ning Hua looked Bai Ruoya up and down, “the Bai family doesn’t welcome our Ning family.”
Ning Hua never intended to kill the man.
However, the goal was to intimidate them and make those who gossip about the Ning family think twice before speaking out.
Look at them, are they willing to offend the Ning family just for a few words?
"Young lady, that's not the case. It's just that people have mouths, and our Bai family shouldn't meddle in other people's business."
"In that case, please step aside."
It's not good to meddle in other families' business, but instead, I've started meddling in theirs.
"Miss Bai, please step aside. This man has insulted our senior brother, and we certainly cannot let this go."
