The first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
Zhao Shuning sneered disdainfully. Previously, her master had not properly punished the Qingning Nan Family in order to protect her.
She had originally thought that the old man, Nan Tianyuan, just doted on his son and had a good heart. Now it seemed that the old fox had put on a really good act before.
There were still some people shouting in the crowd.
Zhao Shuning said coldly, "If the Nan Family wants to settle accounts with me, just wait for me at home. They don't need to come looking for me. I came to Qingning this time just to find him."
What inheritance power? What dragon bone?
That old man, Nan Tianyuan, must have known how dangerous the Misty Mountain was. He probably thought that once Zhao Shuning went to the Misty Mountain, she would never come back.
It was a pity that things didn't go as he wished.
No wonder the relic bone he gave had a reaction with the dragon bone left by the Blazing Fire Dragon on the Misty Mountain, but it had no real effect.
"You want to go against our Nan Family's head?"
Zhao Shuning turned around. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, looking extremely elegant.
"Whether I'm going against your Nan Family or not, let Nan Tianyuan come and talk to me."
After Zhao Shuning finished speaking, she waved her hand. Mo Bai's headache had improved a lot. For some reason, the scene just now seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it before.
"Mo Bai, follow me."
Zhao Shuning stepped forward. Without even knocking, she kicked the door open with one foot.
The three people who were hiding behind and peeping were shaken back several steps by this sudden force and then fell on their butts.
"Ouch—"
"My butt—"
"Dad, Mom, why didn't you block it tighter?"
"This stinky girl is really too heavy-handed. Isn't she Se Se's friend? Why is she so rough to our Ling Family people?"
As the voice fell, they found that the two people outside were now standing in front of them.
Ling Hui quickly pulled Xu Mei up.
Ling Xu didn't dare to say anything more.
With a "bang!", the door behind them closed.
No one dared to interfere in the matter of this mysterious little girl and the young man. They had all witnessed the tragic end of those spiritual pharmacists before they died.
"Heroine, hello. We are Se Se's uncle and aunt. You should also be Se Se's friend. We are a family, a family. Hehe—"
Ling Hui laughed hard.
At the same time, he motioned for Xu Mei to step forward and talk. "Little girl, come here. Thank you for saving our Ling Family. You don't know, we hate these bandits so much. If it weren't for them, Se Se wouldn't have—, sigh—"
As Xu Mei was talking, she pretended to wipe away her tears.
It was really embarrassing for them to have to show such acting skills towards a little girl.
However, no matter how emotional they sounded, Zhao Shuning didn't say a word. She just folded her arms and looked at the three of them performing there with a cold gaze.
Look, if they were really as good as they said, then why didn't Se Se receive anything from her family during the three years she was in the Misty Rain Tower?
Zhao Shuning knew Se Se's character very well.
If her uncle and aunt were really good people, then she wouldn't have felt sad secretly every time someone mentioned their family.
"Little girl, you are Se Se's good friend. Come on, you go inside and sit down first. We'll go and get you something to eat."
As Xu Mei was talking, she walked towards the room behind.
But before she reached the door of the room, the door also closed immediately.
The three of them now looked at Zhao Shuning and Mo Bai in unison.
They couldn't figure out what this little girl was thinking. Although the young man had single - handedly completed that fierce battle just now, they all knew that among the young man and the little girl, the more terrifying one was the little girl.
She decided their lives and deaths.
The atmosphere was tense.
The five of them faced each other, but the three of them didn't dare to say a word.
Suddenly, Zhao Shuning laughed.
As soon as she laughed, the three people opposite immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The cold look of the little girl before had really scared them. They were afraid that if the little girl was not happy, she would let the young man beside her twist their heads off.
"So you are Se Se's uncle and aunt."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"I'm Se Se's good friend. I came to look for her, but I heard that she suffered at the hands of Huang Sandong?"
"Yes, my poor Se Se. She came back home so rarely, and we didn't even have a good time together before she was snatched away by that bandit, Huang Sandong."
As Xu Mei was talking, she and Ling Hui wiped their tears with handkerchiefs.
If someone didn't know the truth, they would really think that they treated Ling Se Se as their own daughter.
Zhao Shuning walked slowly.
Her hand stroked the red gift boxes placed in the yard one by one.
"You didn't want to marry Se Se to him?"
"Of course. Se Se is a child of our Ling Family. How could we do such a crazy thing?"
"Then what about these betrothal gifts?"
Ling Hui wiped the sweat off his forehead and didn't know how to explain.
"Since you didn't want to marry Se Se to that evil man, why did you accept Huang Sandong's betrothal gifts? What? Did Huang Sandong put a knife to your necks and force you to accept these gold and silver treasures?"
Xu Mei fell silent and didn't say a word.
Zhao Shuning opened the box and slowly sorted out the jewels.
One by one. If she guessed correctly, these things should be the treasures plundered from other common people in Qingning, right?
"Then can I assume that you didn't really care about Se Se, but sold her to Huang Sandong for your own interests?"
Ling Xu said, "You little girl, don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Shuning's gaze suddenly turned to Ling Xu. Ling Xu shivered. Mo Bai also glared at Ling Xu fiercely. He lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.
"You tell me. What's wrong with what I said?"
"Little girl, no, senior. You don't know. Se Se is a very stubborn child. There are some things we can't stop her from doing. She was afraid of implicating us, so she agreed to marry Huang Sandong. It was all for our sake. Sigh—"
"Was it for your sake? Or for her grandfather's sake?"
"Senior, you may have some misunderstandings about us."
"Is it me who has misunderstandings about you? Or are all the common people in Qingning blind? Did they all join hands to slander you?"
When the old woman was talking before, Zhao Shuning had already used her spiritual power to check whether what she said was true or false. She also had a general understanding of the thoughts of the people around her.
Combined with Se Se's performance in the Misty Rain Tower before and after, Zhao Shuning wasn't stupid. She naturally knew who to believe.
"I'd like to ask, you share the same blood with Se Se. How could you be so cruel as to send a fifteen - year - old girl to that Huang Sandong, who has committed all kinds of evils?"
