Chapter 135 Character Background, Mystery of Rebirth
"Nangong Muyan" watched Jiang Ning pour tea and drink water, then heard her ask back, and smiled: "Game psychology of negotiation? N, don't play that trick on me, I taught you all your skills, you make me feel like you are playing against each other."
"No, I'm really thirsty." Jiang Ning poured herself another cup.
At this time, Nangong Ya, who was locked outside the door, knocked on the door: "Ling'er, let Dad in."
Jiang Ning looked at the door, thought for a while and replied: "Dad, take Madam back to rest, I'll talk to my second sister first."
Nangong Ya said something else, Jiang Ning ignored him and kept saying the same thing. Finally, Nangong Ya had no choice but to take Luo Siyi away first.
Luo Siyi had been hit too hard this morning, so Nangong Ya needed to settle her down first.
When the crowd outside was finally clear, "Nangong Muyan" looked at Jiang Ning and said only two words: "Travel through time?"
Jiang Ning said "hmm", got up and walked to the dressing table, found a mirror, and threw it to her.
"Nangong Muyan" picked up the mirror and looked carefully at the face of the person in the mirror. After a moment, he put it down and looked at Jiang Ning with a half-smile on her face: "N, you seem to have been here a while earlier than me, so I'd like to trouble you to introduce me to your background."
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded without hesitation, and then changed the subject: "But you have to answer my questions first."
"Nangong Muyan" chuckled, and also slowly picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking a few sips, he said softly: "You've grown wings."
"Yeah." Jiang Ning admitted generously: "It's been a long time since I replaced you as N, I've never been afraid of you."
"Nangong Muyan" looked up and down at the person in front of him, and laughed again, but there was a bit more admiration in his eyes.
"I asked you to get the blood lotus, but Black Snake betrayed your whereabouts. That exhibition was a dragnet. I wanted to inform you when I learned the news, but it was too late. You had already entered. All communication signals were blocked in the exhibition, so I had to rush over to save you myself."
"Nangong Muyan" said this with a fierce look in her eyes: "It turns out that this game is aimed at the two of us. I just sneaked into the secret room where the blood lotus was placed, and saw you surrounded by a group of people with guns. Before I could do anything, you ignited the bomb, and then I died."
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows, a little surprised: "You would come to save me?"
"Nangong Muyan" smiled nonchalantly: "Forget it if you don't believe it."
"Then you came here as soon as you died?"
"No, I seem to have been dead for a while," "Nangong Muyan" recalled and said, "That feeling is very strange, as if my soul is floating in the clouds and mist, but I can't remember anything." "
Then why did you kill Luo Siyi just now?" Jiang Ning asked again. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Who? Are you talking about the woman who was holding me? I just woke up, and my memory is still stuck at that exhibition. I thought I was not dead. When I woke up, I saw a woman in ancient costume. I thought she was a trick of the black snake."
"Okay." Jiang Ning had no doubts. It seemed that they died on the same day, but she came to this world first.
"Nangong Muyan" reminded: "It's your turn to tell me the background of the characters here."
"Okay, remember it clearly, I'll only say it once."
Jiang Ning wrote the four words "Nangong Muyan" on the table with her fingers: "This is your name."
"Nangong Muyan? It sounds nice, Okay, let's call you that from now on." Nangong Muyan has a very good ability to accept things.
"This is a dynasty in history that does not exist in our cognition..."
Jiang Ning told Nangong Muyan the background of the times and characters in detail like an NPC, and then explained her own situation: "I am now Nangong Ling, your sister, and you were a vicious woman before..."
Nangong Muyan carefully wrote down everything Jiang Ning said, and waited until she finished speaking before asking: "So, I am a bad woman now, and my father will still whip me? Will I marry a prince in the future?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded in affirmation.
Nangong Muyan held the teacup and did not speak, as if thinking about something.
"What do you think? Continue killing people?" Jiang Ning tried to test Nangong Muyan's thoughts: "You can kill. Nangong Ya wants to beat you, so you kill him and kill everyone else in the mansion. He is the prime minister of a dynasty, and if the court sends people to arrest you, you can continue killing. No one can stop you anyway."
Nangong Muyan looked at Jiang Ning for a while and smiled: "N, your way of persuading people to put down their butcher knives is quite special."
Jiang Ning said nothing, drinking tea in small sips, waiting for her answer.
"I've decided..." Nangong Muyan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "After this beating, I will be my daughter and live a carefree life."
"What a good body this is!" Nangong Muyan continued with emotion, "I'm not even eighteen yet, young and healthy, I have a father and a mother, I have money and leisure, I have power and influence, I don't have to worry about living anymore, I don't have to worry about those open and secret conspiracies, I just have to eat and sleep like a pig... Isn't it just a beating? It's well planned!"
Jiang Ning smiled, this choice was within her expectations.
People like them who have lived in the dark for a long time, deep in their hearts, are longing for stability and warmth.
Nangong Muyan has such a good family background and parents who love her. Her life is brilliant and full of sunshine. She will never let herself go back to the darkness.
Nangong Muyan turned to look at Jiang Ning and said meaningfully, "You seem to smile a lot more. You are no longer a sharp knife. You have a human touch."
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she asked unexpectedly, "Are you in love?"
Before Jiang Ning spoke, Nangong Muyan had seen everything from her expression and said with a smile, "It seems I was right."
This person's eyes were too sharp. Jiang Ning had been taught by her for more than ten years, and her every move was visible in her eyes.
Seeing Jiang Ning's wary eyes, Nangong Muyan smiled again. Her face should have been charming and seductive when she smiled, but both sides of her face were swollen, and the five fingerprints were clear and distinct, which looked a bit funny.
"N, don't worry, I won't beat you. Now you are not a killer, you can talk if you want, don't worry. Besides, aren't you getting cocky? I can't control you, I'm just curious about who your boyfriend is..."
"Don't call me N," Jiang Ning just said, "and don't gossip."
Nangong Muyan followed suit: "Then what should I call you? The man just called you Ling'er, should I call you Ling'er too? Or should I call you, Third Sister?"
"...Whatever."
To be honest, Jiang Ning felt uncomfortable with both of these titles.
"Oh, okay, Third Sister." Nangong Muyan chose a title and asked another question: "Do you know what's going on with those blood-red lotuses?"
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes and slowly clenched her hands on her legs into fists. It seemed that their souls traveling to other worlds were all related to blood lotuses.
Just now, because Nangong Muyan was so shocked to be resurrected, Jiang Ning was busy controlling the situation and had no time to pay attention to the situation in the space.
Now hearing Nangong Muyan's question, Jiang Ning sensed the space in her body and found that it had returned to its original state.
Jiang Ning did not answer directly, but asked the question that had been in her mind for a long time: "I don't understand why you insisted on asking me to get you the blood lotus? Is it because it is a so-called national treasure? But you are not a greedy or curious person..."
She thought that this question would never be answered, but she didn't expect that they would meet in this world by chance.
"Because..." Nangong Muyan smiled and raised her hand to start unbuttoning her clothes.
Jiang Ning didn't understand why, but she saw Nangong Muyan pull down the collar of her clothes. Above her heart, on her snow-white chest, was a charming red lotus. The whole pattern was about the size of an egg, delicate and vivid, as if it grew out of the flesh.
"This thing has followed us." Nangong Muyan looked down and said without surprise.
"This is--"
Jiang Ning hadn't finished her words when footsteps were heard outside the door.
The two looked at each other, Nangong Muyan buttoned up her clothes again, and whispered, "We'll talk later. I'll go beat them up first."
Jiang Ning nodded. The footsteps were getting closer. She stood up and opened the door. Nangong Ya was raising his hand to knock on the door, with Jin Yao and Jin Hui standing behind him.
"Ling'er." Nangong Ya frowned and looked at Jiang Ning. He still couldn't understand what she meant by doing this.
Jiang Ning knew he had questions, but she didn't think about explaining to him. She just stepped aside and let Nangong Muyan walk out behind him.
Jin Yao and Jin Hui looked at Nangong Muyan with surprise in their eyes. The two of them watched her hanging from the beam, and when they took her down, they confirmed that she was dead.
Now Nangong Muyan was standing in front of the two brothers alive, with clear marks of strangulation on her neck, which made them feel a little weird.
"Dad, I know I was wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Nangong Muyan said obediently, with an honest look, which was completely different from the hysterical look before, making Nangong Ya feel unreal.
