Ning Yao didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Do you want to go out? To get your eyes healed and seek revenge on Chen Sheng?"
"Can you help me? What are the conditions?"
Ning Yao smiled gently: "Take me to Yunxiang City to find the stone!"
"Impossible! If that's the condition, I'd rather stay here and die than leave!"
Ning Yao chuckled: "Are you worried that I might be detrimental to Yunxiang City?"
"Otherwise what?"
“My only target is those stones. Since those stones are trapping you, why don’t I go and help you get rid of them and give you your freedom? How about it?”
Yun Xiangnan sneered, "Forget about it, I won't take you to Yun Xiang City."
Ning Yao wasn't annoyed. Instead, she leaned closer to her and whispered something in her ear that shocked Yun Xiangnan.
"You...you are..."
Ning Yao put her finger to her lips: "Shh, don't tell anyone."
Then he stood up and asked again, "Now, will you agree to my conditions?"
Yun Xiang and Nan Shan nodded in shock and disbelief.
"Zhilan, help her up, let's go greet the guests."
"Yes, Miss!" As long as it wasn't a ghost, Zhilan wasn't that scared.
When Zhilan helped Yun Xiangnan up, she felt that Yun Xiangnan was too light and had no weight at all.
He simply squatted down, carried her on his back, and followed Ning Yao's footsteps.
A gentle breeze outside the ancestral hall brushed against Yun Xiangnan's face, causing her to feel a moment of disorientation.
I haven't felt such a clear breeze in a long time.
Welcoming guests at the back door, Song Wu was awakened by a knocking sound.
Upon opening the back door, they found Ning Yao, but her attire was rather strange.
"Third Miss? Come in quickly!"
Ning Yao asked, "Are there any rooms left in the backyard? Make room for her."
At this moment, Song Wu noticed that Zhilan was carrying someone on her back. Zhilan was dressed the same way, in a night outfit.
The woman on her back had her face obscured by long hair, so her features were not visible.
Song Wu quickly replied, "Yes, yes, they're all clean. Miss Zhilan, please come with me!"
After settling Yun Xiang and Nan Shan in, Ning Yao instructed Song Wu, "This woman will stay here for the time being. Just put her meals on the table each day. She is blind, so you may have to take good care of her. I will come to the city to see her in a few days."
Song Wu nodded: "I understand, Miss. Don't worry!"
Ning Yao said, "Alright, we'll be going now."
"Zhilan, are you done yet?"
Zhilan's voice came from inside the room: "Yes, Miss, it'll be ready soon!"
Zhilan took out several sets of clothes to change into from the storage space, including both inner and outer garments, as well as shoes.
"The clothes and shoes are all prepared. Even though you can't see, you can still do simple things, right?"
Yun Xiangnan was still immersed in the joy of seeing the light of day again and hadn't come to her senses when she heard Zhilan's words. She nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Miss."
Seeing her like this, Zhilan couldn't help but add another word of advice: "Miss said that you possess martial arts skills, but you couldn't leave the ancestral hall before for other reasons. Now that you've left the ancestral hall, you should be able to go wherever you want without anyone stopping you..."
"Don't worry, young lady. I promised your young lady and I won't go back on my word. Besides, I need her to help me with my eyesight and to help me get revenge. I won't do anything to harm her."
Seeing that she was sincere, Zhilan said, "In that case, you can stay here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell Song Wu."
"good."
Ning Yao, who was outside, naturally heard Zhi Lan's instructions and smiled helplessly.
This girl, sometimes she really is like a nagging old woman.
"Miss, let's go!"
Ning Yao nodded and left with Zhi Lan.
"This humble servant respectfully sees Miss off!" After watching Ning Yao and her servant leave, Song Wu stood in the backyard and looked around.
Seeing that the people inside the house were not moving, he went back inside to rest.
Ning Yao used her lightness skill to quickly bring Zhi Lan back to the manor.
After shedding her night clothes, Zhilan couldn't help but ask, "That Chen Sheng hasn't shown up for so many years, where are we going to find him? And how can we help that woman get revenge?"
Ning Yao said, "You'll know when the slave traders arrive tomorrow."
Zhilan thought about it and agreed, then said, "Then Miss, you should get some rest."
"Okay, you should go and get some rest too."
Zhilan turned to leave, but Ningyao called her back: "Wait, do you have time to practice your kung fu every day? How come you've been with me the longest, yet your lightness skill is still so bad?"
Zhilan was speechless: "Miss, it's not that I'm bad, it's that you're too good. Although I've been learning martial arts from you the longest, the master and madam have been learning for just as long, haven't they?"
"In the words of those martial arts practitioners, you are a genius with extraordinary talent, one in a thousand years. I am just an ordinary person, how can I compare to a genius?"
Ning Yao stroked her chin, staring at Zhi Lan for a long time.
"No, starting tomorrow, you're going to focus on martial arts training, and also on training your parents, older sister, and older brother!"
"I don't have time to give you guidance, so I need to find someone. Who should I ask..."
Ning Yao had a sudden inspiration: Aren't there a few freeloaders in the family?
Having lived here for so long for free, shouldn't I have to give something in return?
"Alright, you can go and rest now. Tell everyone to gather at the training ground tomorrow!"
"Including Hua Yan and the Xiao family's mistress and servants from the guest quarters!"
After Zhilan left, Ning Yao entered the secret realm again.
Treating Yun Xiang and Nan Shan's eyes isn't urgent, but we should still consult relevant medical books.
She had carefully observed Yun Xiangnanshan's eyes when she leaned closer to speak earlier.
She wasn't blinded by someone; her eyes are still intact. It seems she was simply poisoned to make her unable to see.
The specific type of poison used, or the other methods employed, can only be determined after taking the pulse.
—
The next morning, Ning Yao was already waiting at the training ground.
By the time everyone was dressed and appeared, the sun was already high in the sky.
Ning Yao was very dissatisfied, especially with Ning Wenyi.
"Father, didn't I tell you not to slack off? Look at the weapons in the training ground, they're covered in dust. That's enough to prove you haven't been here in a long time, isn't it?"
Ning Wenyi said with a bitter face, "I really haven't had time these past few days. This manor is so big, I have to keep it in order inside and out. I only have Ning Lang and Ning Shan as my two capable people."
"Zhimei is going to go with your mother and eldest sister to help you train those people."
"Zhihe has to take care of Yiyi, Dongyue has to take care of your second sister-in-law, and Zhilan is busy with you every day. I get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs. How can I have time to practice martial arts!"
Ning Wenyi was miserable, not to mention Madam Ning.
"Yaoyao, we haven't slacked off for a single day on the things you entrusted to me and your older sister!"
Ning Qiong nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes!"
Ning Jin quickly explained, "Your second sister-in-law hasn't been sleeping well at night lately. She's been very irritable and feels uncomfortable without me by her side. I also haven't had time to practice martial arts."
