Inside Youhan City, a woman in a black dress, who had just come down from Tianshan Mountain, appeared in front of a luxurious restaurant.
"Oh! Isn't this Master Yin? Please come in, please come in!"
The woman at the door, who was very familiar with Yin Han, immediately invited her inside.
A short while later, Yin Han was led to a room upstairs.
"The young master is waiting for the manor lord inside!"
Yin Han's expression remained unchanged; she simply nodded and pushed open the door to enter.
Inside the room, a young man dressed in a brocade robe saw the visitor and immediately stepped forward: "Aunt Han! I've finally waited for you. How is it? Is there anything wrong with Yao'er?"
Yin Han first closed the door and cast a soundproof spell, then frowned and glared at him: "What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"
"I'm worried too!"
Gu Yantang was very flustered. If Ning Yuyao found out what he had done... it would be like a huge thorn hanging over his head, which would fall sooner or later.
His status as the young master of Huayin Palace can protect him for a while, but not forever!
Yin Han shook her head slightly and said, "Don't worry, she knows the relationship between you and me, yet she still dares to let her young master stay at Half Moon Manor. Besides, when I tested her today, I didn't notice anything unusual about her..."
"call--"
Gu Yantang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at your pathetic self..." Yin Han said coldly, "You are at least the young sect leader of a sect, while Ning Yuyao is just the daughter of a merchant. Her status is worlds apart from yours, yet you are so wary of her! Even if she knows, so what? Does she expect to kill you in front of so many people from Huayin Palace? Has she ever thought about the consequences that would cause?"
Gu Yantang shook his head and sighed, "Aunt Han, you are in the Guanghan Palace, so you should see things more clearly than I do... Ning Yuyao's talent surpasses even that of the Qingyou Palace Master, Nie Qingshuang. With the protection of the Guanghan Palace, her future achievements are limitless..."
"But... throughout the thousands of years, countless geniuses have emerged, yet there has only ever been one Palace Master of the Moon Palace..."
Gu Yantang's expression froze for a moment, indicating that he had heard of this legendary figure, but he shook his head and said, "Grandpa once said that with Ning Yuyao's talent, she could very well reach that person's level..."
"That's only a possibility!" Yin Han sneered. "Remember, those who are sheltered in the cradle by their sects will never become true geniuses! Only through countless battles and life-and-death experiences can a strong heart be forged!"
"Which of the Palace Masters of Guanghan Palace and the Four Great Hall Masters didn't survive the great war between good and evil back then to achieve their current status?"
"Ning Yuyao is nothing but a hothouse flower, nothing to be afraid of!"
Gu Yantang remained silent.
Although Yin Han's words made a lot of sense, he still had a vague feeling that Ning Yuyao was definitely not the "greenhouse flower" she was talking about at all.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Yunhao was taken by Ning Yuyao to visit Ning Yuan and Qin Yan, who lived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
Shen Yunhao was generally quite grateful to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
First, there's Qin Yan. This mother-in-law, like my aunt, has always been very good to me since I was a child. Even when I did something that embarrassed everyone, Qin Yan showed great tolerance towards me.
As for Ning Yuan, he certainly showed the profit-seeking nature of a businessman. When Shen Yunxiao was still around, he was all about proposing marriage and currying favor. But after Shen Yunxiao passed away and Shen Yunhao became a cripple, his attitude changed faster than flipping through a book...
However, he supported Ning Yuyao's request to get married, and in the end, he even wanted him to learn business so he could help manage her family business...
Overall, he's a bit of a snob, but not completely evil.
In addition, Shen Yunhao no longer cares much about the grudges of the past.
Even with Shen Boxuan, who treated him the worst, he didn't mention settling scores later.
Naturally, he also showed his father-in-law the utmost respect...
However, Ning Yuan was clearly unaware that Shen Yunhao had now become a true "immortal," and still carried a somewhat arrogant attitude.
Shen Yunhao just chuckled to himself; as for showing off...
Well, showing off my muscles in front of Yao'er does feel like a clown trying to teach an expert.
Shen Yunhao didn't say anything, and Ning Yuyao never had the habit of showing off, so naturally she wouldn't say anything either.
She felt that the warmth of a family sitting together and talking peacefully was a scene that was hard to experience on a long leisurely journey!
However, Shen Yunhao's question, "Where is Uncle Ning?" made the atmosphere slightly awkward.
Shen Yunhao looked left and right, seeing that the family of three was silent, and suddenly remembered that when he returned to Linyuan City, he had thought of taking Ning Yuyao to visit the Ning family.
At that time, it was mentioned that the Ning family had moved to Tianshan because of Ning Xiao, but after returning home that night, they forgot about it and never brought it up again.
Now that it's been brought up, he finally realized that something was amiss.
"My uncle..." Qin Yan finally sighed and said, "He was murdered..."
"Huh? No... that's all?"
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that my words were somewhat impolite.
He still remembered this Uncle Ning; back in Lin Yuan City, he had even asked him to sit at the children's table...
It just vanished like that?
"Brother Yunhao..."
At this moment, Ning Yuyao leaned over and grabbed Shen Yunhao's arm, her eyes red.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao's heart melted, and he quickly pulled the girl into his arms: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, Yao'er, tell me, what happened..."
"Brother Yunhao...it's Yao'er's fault for you..."
"..."
...
In the evening, after having dinner at his parents-in-law's house, Shen Yunhao took Ning Yuyao back to Half Moon Villa.
After listening to Ning Yuyao's explanation, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt enlightened.
No wonder...
At the time, I was so focused on considering the possible motives of the other people at the table who might have poisoned him that I forgot about Uncle Ning... who had also been at the table for a while.
Moreover, since they didn't stay until the very end, it's likely that even the tools used in the crime were quietly taken away.
However... judging from what Yao'er said, even if she had really died of drunkenness at the time, Nie Qingshuang should have been able to find the real culprit based on the traces at the scene.
A powerhouse at the Void Realm is indeed an existence that transcends conventional understanding!
Even with several intermediaries and attempts to silence him, Tianyuan couldn't escape the pursuit of this Qingyou Palace Master, who ultimately locked onto Ning Xiao.
The person behind the scenes must be having a real headache...
When asked who the real culprit was, Ning Yuyao simply said she didn't know.
Shen Yunhao didn't press further, but he could vaguely guess what was going on.
Since Nie Qingshuang was able to pinpoint Ning Ershu, she must also be able to find the real culprit from back then.
Whether it's that she refuses to tell Ning Yuyao, or that Ning Yuyao refuses to tell her, it all proves one thing...
The other party has powerful connections, and there's no way to get revenge right now...
