Chapter 47: Really Conceited
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Ning Xuan narrowed his eyes and tapped the tabletop sporadically with his index finger.
After dinner, we returned to Yingke Peak.
Ning Shengsheng was called over by Shuangxi.
"Brother, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Ning Shengsheng shrugged her shoulders, spread out her hands, and looked very innocent.
"Hard-mouthed, huh?"
"Others can't see it, but can I not see that it is your storage bag?" Ning Xuan leaned back, crossed his long legs, with an expression that said, "Let me see how you try to lie."
"Okay, it's my storage bag."
She admitted it very quickly, and her eyes were even more frank.
Ning Xuan, who thought he would be questioned several times, paused for a moment, swallowed his prepared words, and asked again, "Why did you steal someone else's Ice Soul Lotus?"
"It's for the Phantom Li. I heard that the spiritual beast needs the Ice Soul Lotus to advance." She said without blushing or beating her heart.
"You really love that little beast."
Ning Xuan's eyes were filled with contempt and his tone was condescending.
Ning Shengsheng felt an indescribable emotion well up in her heart.
Ning Xuan waited for her to be tolerant and doting, but the words he just said unconsciously brought her back to reality. He has always been a superior who despised life.
Human life is nothing, let alone spiritual beasts.
Many of the palace maids and eunuchs who had served Princess Ning'an died unjustly.
She knew that it would be impossible to convince the other party with her theory, and it would even be doubted.
So she chose to keep her mouth shut.
Ning Shengsheng looked like she was ready to be beaten and scolded. Ning Xuan wondered if he had spoken too harshly just now.
He adjusted his tone and spoke again.
"It's just a spirit beast anyway. There's no need to go to such lengths for it. Just tell me what you want."
"Why take such a risk in the middle of the night?"
Ning Shengsheng took back what she wanted to say three times in her mind, but she still decided to say it out loud.
"I know my brother is worried about me, but Huanli is more than just a little beast. When it grows up, it will protect me and fight alongside me. It will be my best friend."
What she actually wanted to say was that it was also a life.
Deserve to be respected and treated fairly.
However, Ning Xuan was not able to understand these things given the concepts he was exposed to growing up.
We don't seek common ground, but we can maintain differences.
It is enough just to show how much you value Huanli.
Ning Shengsheng never thought that she could change anyone, she just wanted to keep her original heart.
"Okay, okay, you little girl, I said a few words to you, but you started to talk at length."
"It's your best friend, isn't it?"
Ning Xuan didn't want to quarrel with her sister over such a small matter.
"Well, I was also not thoughtful enough and made my royal brother worried. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"You go ahead."
…
Ning Shengsheng returned to her room.
A second star pattern faintly appeared on the phantom raccoon egg on the bedding, and she gently stroked the eggshell.
"Little Huanli, try your best to absorb the spiritual energy and come out quickly."
After the snowball next door ate the fourth spiritual herb.
Finally advanced.
Xue Chen rubbed his thumb on the pattern on Xuetuan's forehead. The pattern looked like a flame and was purple in color.
Currently, the three colors are filled in.
The other two are blank.
This means that Snowball needs to advance twice before reaching its final form.
"You are able to advance this time thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"If I'm not here and she's in danger in the future, you'll have to save her reluctantly, understand?"
"Meow~"
Snowball wagged his tail.
I don’t know whether I should tell my master that the palace maid who interrupted his attempt to enter his body was the princess.
But.
The princess also saved it.
Humans are really complicated, so let’s not talk about them for now.
***
I stayed in Qingling Sect for another two days.
The sect competition is finally here.
This day.
Ning Shengsheng was woken up early in the morning.
Songgao and Zaoni came in carrying a large wooden box. When they opened it, they found it was full of jewelry and dresses.
"This is……?"
Ning Shengsheng was confused.
"Your Majesty asked us to dress the princess nicely. There are many young talents here today."
Her royal brother really refuses to give up.
Why are they singing and dancing when Qiuya is getting married?
Why take over the show and cause trouble?
"You don't have to listen to my brother. I think that light yellow skirt is nice, the one with the crabapple flowers embroidered on it."
"Is this it, Princess?"
Holding the jujube paste in his hand, he gestured.
"Well, this one looks cool."
"Princess, you have such good taste. I also think you look better in this one." Zaoni helped her change clothes.
"You can talk."
Ning Shengsheng lowered her head and rummaged through her storage bag.
“I found you!”
This is a small golden bell tied with a red string.
There is a formation engraved inside.
Has cooling effect.
The spectators of the sect competition were in the stands, just like attending sports meets in school.
The weather is so hot.
She didn't want to be favored by the sun.
Tie the golden bell to your wrist, and a hint of cool air will emerge from your wrist and gradually move upwards.
Not long.
I feel refreshed and comfortable all over.
Ning Shengsheng didn't spend much time dressing up. She quickly packed up and went out to wait for Ning Xuan.
Xue Chen was already waiting at the door.
The young man wore a green robe with wide sleeves and his black hair was tied behind his head.
Occasionally, a summer breeze blows by, lifting only a few strands of hair. If you look closely, you will find that the robe hides a hidden design. There are a few golden butterflies embroidered on the cuffs. If the wind is stronger and the sleeves are blown, wouldn't you be able to see the fluttering shadows of butterflies?
"Your Highness?"
Xue Chen called her for the second time.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Ning Shengsheng was mesmerized by the sight, imagining golden butterflies flying around Xue Chen's slender waist.
"Your hair is messed up."
Seeing that she was in a daze, Xue Chen had no choice but to step forward and help her gather the fallen hair behind her hairpin.
Ning Shengsheng let him do what he wanted.
A faint scent of orchid hits the tip of the nose.
I have doubts in my heart.
Did he study spiritual herbs all night last night?
"alright."
Xue Chen raised the corners of his lips and returned to her with a smile.
"Thanks....."
Ning Shengsheng touched the tips of her ears, feeling that the cooling bells were not effective.
She noticed Xue Chen's gaze on her.
He deliberately turned his face away and looked to the other side.
Xue Chen's smile deepened, and his gaze lingered on her red ears.
"An An, look at my outfit, what do you think?"
Ning Xuan strode out.
With his interruption, the atmosphere between her and Xue Chen was finally less weird.
"Royal brother, uh, you are so noble."
After a while.
I just came up with a four-word evaluation.
Ning Xuan was dissatisfied, "That's it? I'm wearing a new piece from the Embroidery Pavilion, every stitch and thread is outlined with gold thread!"
"Look at the dragon pattern on the waist. It is magnificent and represents supreme majesty."
"Ah, yes, my brother is right."
Ning Shengsheng held his arm and dragged him onto the spaceship.
"If we don't leave now, we'll be late."
He was afraid that Ning Xuan would say something narcissistic again and be heard by Ling Hegui who came to pick him up.
Then Daning is really finished.
If Ning Xuan were in modern times, he would definitely be a middle school student.
"He Gui, you look so energetic today."
Ning Xuan leaned against the spaceship and looked cool.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You look even more elegant today than before." Ling Hegui praised seriously.
"You have the best vision. If you weren't Sect Leader Ling's biological son, I would have taken you to Daning and appointed you as the country's chief minister, making you second only to the emperor and above everyone else."
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness. If there is no place for me in Qingling Sect, I will go to Daning."
“Haha, okay!”
Ning Shengsheng, who was hiding in the cabin, couldn't bear to look at it.
She asked Xue Chen doubtfully.
"Tell me, is it true that one of them is the Emperor of Daning and the other is the future heir of the Qingling Sect?"
Xue Chen raised his eyes coldly and said slowly, "Da Ning is worrying, and the future of Qing Ling Sect is also worrying."
"I'm Ning Xuan's sister, and I agree with you."
Ning Shengsheng nodded slowly.
Xue Chen looked at Ning Shengsheng, then at Ning Xuan.
No wonder they are brother and sister.
