Chapter 176 Chapter 134 The Ni Family Invitation Letter Part 2
It was not surprising that the Pu family received an invitation, but it was unusual for Pomo as an individual to receive one.
After returning home, Puys began to carefully compare Pomeranian's invitation letter with the one he received.
But the result of the comparison is that there is no difference. The Ni family is indeed inviting Pomo as an individual.
Pomo is best known for his status as the champion of Lanster's restricted battle, so the two of them sent a message to Senior Anat to ask, and sure enough, they got confirmation that Senior Anat had also received an invitation from the Ni family.
It would be fine if the Ni family didn't say anything, but when they did, it was shocking.
I have kept a low profile for many years and never organized any birthday party invitations.
Moreover, the invitation letter clearly stated the owner's birthday, and it wasn't even an integer, which made it even more suspicious.
But the Ni family's judgment of the outside world was correct. Too many people wanted to know what was going on inside the Ni family. Anyone who received an invitation would probably not refuse.
"The Ni family wants to make a name for themselves? That's why they invited so many people."
Pomer gave his own opinion. He couldn't think of any other possibility except this one.
Puis held his chin with one hand. This was the most likely option, but he felt that things would not be that simple.
What's more, the truth about Ah Lan that they want to find is hidden in the Ni family...
“Maybe we won’t know until we go there.”
It has been nine years since he met Ni Lan. The truth is right in front of him, how could he not be anxious.
Pomo didn't know how Ni Lan would react to this. "Let's go ask Ah Lan. Maybe he knows something?"
Puyis only talked to Ni Lan about whether to go to the Ni family, but did not think of asking about anything related to the Ni family.
He was so used to his friend's constant concealment that he didn't think of asking out of habit.
"Let's go, he should be in the study."
In the letter, Puys also mentioned that Ni Lan liked to stay in the study and read books.
The friend seemed to have heard their footsteps and put the book away in advance.
"Are you done?"
Although his tone was calm, it sounded as if he was blaming them.
Pomo coughed twice and then quickly apologized, "Sorry!"
Puyis didn't find any reason for himself, "Sorry."
Of course Ni Lan would not blame them, and she knew that they were particularly concerned about this matter, so she took the initiative to give them time.
"Why are you apologizing? Sit down. What do you want to ask me?"
It was obvious that their friends knew why they were there, but their frankness made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Pomo decided to get straight to the point.
"What on earth does Patriarch Ni want to do to suddenly invite so many people to his birthday party?"
Because he didn't know what kind of relationship Ni Lan had with the Ni family, Bo Mo didn't make any random guesses about the relationship between the head of the Ni family and Ni Lan.
Ni Lan obviously didn't like, or at least didn't care about the Ni family. As for whether there was any deep hatred between them, they couldn't tell.
"Because he has to."
Ni Lan just didn't want her to be present when Pomo and Puis found out the truth, there was nothing else she couldn't say.
"What the Ni family did was equivalent to declaring war on the entire supernatural world. Everyone present is a victim."
Thus, this grand feast instantly turned into a banquet at Hongmen, and the smell of conspiracy was obvious.
Declaring war on the entire supernatural world, everyone is a victim. For a moment, Puyis couldn't imagine what the Ni family had done to receive such severe evaluation from Ni Lan.
"Specific..."
"cannot."
Ni Lan smiled, and the reason behind it involved things related to him.
"Don't worry, no one will get into trouble except the Ni family, just go there without worry."
Regardless of whether it is in the timeline with Ni Lan or not, both of them have to go through the haze of conspiracy on their own to meet him, so nothing will happen.
When the young man thought of this, the curve of his mouth became more obvious.
The clues provided by Ni Lan were enough, and no one would doubt Ni Lan's judgment.
"Okay, we got it!" This was the best reassurance for Pomo, and he happily raised one hand and clenched his fist.
"Then let's decide to leave next week. It will be easier to investigate if we go earlier."
Puis began to arrange his time.
"Then I wish you a safe journey." Ni Lan waved his hand.
Bo Mo finally reacted, his eyes widened, "Alan, you won't go with us?"
In the past, whenever something important happened, Ni Lan would always rush forward, but this time she did not go with them, and Pomo was not used to it yet.
When in the North, Pomo had dreamed of exploring a wider world with Alan and Esther. It would surely be fun no matter what they did.
But then came the sad news that Alan went blind, and Ezra was also tied up in family affairs, and finally became alone.
"I won't go. It will cause you trouble. Besides, there are some things you will know when you go."
Ni Lan refused bluntly. There were some things he really didn't want to face.
"What's the trouble? I..."
Pomo immediately tried to retort, but Puis held his shoulders.
His friend shook his head at him, and the young man realized that perhaps he should not have mentioned this matter.
——
The three of them had lunch together at home, and then Ni Lan went to take a nap.
Neither Pomer nor Puis had the habit of taking naps, so they continued to discuss some details that were not easy to mention in the letter.
"I have discovered something else about Alan's blindness."
Puys had already accepted this fact, but Pomeranian might find it difficult to accept it for a while.
The young man immediately realized that this was definitely not good news, and the worry on his face became increasingly obvious.
"Ess, go ahead."
"Maybe Lan lost not only his sight, but also his sense of smell and taste."
"...Huh?"
Pomo was completely stunned. Compared with vision, smell and taste did not seem to be that important.
But this illustrates a terrible fact.
Ni Lan's five senses are declining.
"When?!"
Bomo's expression became even more flustered, just like when he first found out that Alan had lost his eyesight in Lianyun City.
Puys seemed calmer.
"Three years ago, the chef at home made delicious shrimp with a special aroma. I remembered what happened on the boat when we first returned to Shennan, so I asked Alan to guess what we were going to eat today."
The aroma of delicious shrimps is very unique. No one who has smelled it once will forget it, but Ni Lan did not discover it.
"I realized something was wrong, so I asked: 'This shrimp has a strange smell, don't you remember it, Lan?'"
Ah Lan was obviously confused at that time. He could only scratch his head embarrassedly and say that he didn't remember.
What if it's not that you don't remember it, but that you simply can't smell it at all?
This means that Alan had lost his sense of smell seven or eight years ago.
Following this idea, Puis went to test Alan's taste again.
He asked the chef to deliberately not add salt, or to deliberately add more salt, but Ah Lan ate it without any reaction or comment.
"I remember that at that time, Alan was very seasick. Is it related to that incident?"
Pomo only regretted that he had not discovered it earlier.
Humans only have five senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch. Lan has already lost the first three senses, so when will the last two be his turn?
If a person loses his sense of touch, he will completely lose the ability to perceive the outside world. Can Alan still be considered alive at that time?
In the worst case scenario, Lan might just...
No, Pomo won't accept it!
"I don't know, so this time when we go to the Ni family, we must find the reason, otherwise we will really lose Ah Lan."
How could Puys not be anxious? He was just used to keeping calm.
We must find a way to stop the deterioration of our five senses.
Bo Mo, who had just arrived in Shennan, wanted to fly back to Chengsheng Feilou immediately, but he also knew that the Ni family would not welcome them if he went too early. He could only wait for the arrival of next week in repeated anxiety, self-blame and uneasiness.
Seeing Ni Lan again, Bo Mo's mood became even heavier.
Perhaps soon his friends would never hear his voice again, and this realization made Pomo even more uncomfortable.
Seven or eight years ago...what kind of despair did Alan experience that he didn't even care about the pain of losing his five senses.
"Amo?"
A person who loses his sight will have significantly enhanced hearing. He can tell from the sound of footsteps whether the person approaching him is Pomo or Puis.
Moreover, he could vaguely sense that Pomo was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong?"
Pomeran felt a little inexplicably aggrieved.
Lan has been in pain of losing his senses, but why can he act so indifferent?
He doesn't care about his body at all. He has always been like this.
"Nothing..."
I shouldn't question Ni Lan about this matter, as it might hurt my friend.
He can't do such a thing.
It's rare to see Bomo hesitant to speak.
However, Ni Lan could probably guess that it was related to something she had been hiding, so she certainly wouldn't create trouble for herself.
"How about playing chess with me? Ah Mo should know the rules, right?"
Pomo immediately agreed, "Okay."
But can Ni Lan see the chess moves he makes?
"I can hear you. Just tell me which piece you picked up."
So Ni Lan took the chess pieces and chessboard from the bookshelf and was able to accurately place the chess pieces in the correct position.
This was his way of proving to Pomeranian that he didn't need to feel sad about his blindness, that he didn't think it was a painful thing, and that he could take care of himself.
But that's not what Pomo cares about...
Bo Mo was not an expert at chess, but Ni Lan consciously let him win, so that even a "low-level" game could be won.
Until Puyis finished his official business and came to the study to find the two of them.
"Want to go to the beach?"
Perhaps it was the Ni family's high profile that attracted the attention of the royal family. The spies from Shennan had already left and gone to the Holy City Jade Tower. He also hoped that Ni Lan could go out more often.
While there is still a chance, experience more of this world.
"OK!"
Bo Mo had a clear understanding of his own chess skills and knew that Ni Lan was giving him a break, which was not interesting at all.
Ni Lan also hopes to spend more time with the two of them and never refuses.
"good."
