Part 5
Ning Yunyi walked up to An Dong, placed his hand on his forehead, probed for a while, and soon knew what was going on.
An Dong’s condition was serious, yet easy to cure.
Elder An and Elder Xun stood aside, holding their breath, looking at Ning Yunyi, terrified that the result would be that he couldn’t treat him either.
Ning Yunyi finally withdrew his hand and looked at the tense and uneasy elders. “Curable.”
Two short words made the two old men sigh in relief. They looked at each other, faces full of surprise. “That’s great! Mr. Bai, whatever is needed, we’ll go prepare it immediately.”
Ning Yunyi shook his head. “No need. Mr. An was affected by spiritual power, his consciousness is chaotic and he fell into a deep sleep. He just needs to be awakened.”
Of course, if he couldn’t be awakened for a long time, he would become a vegetable.
The two elders heard the implication and broke out in a cold sweat.
Ning Yunyi asked them to go out first.
The two didn’t hesitate and went outside to guard.
Ning Yunyi circulated his spiritual power in An Dong’s consciousness for a round. Soon he withdrew his hand. An Dong’s initially faint breathing gradually steadied, falling into a deep sleep.
Ning Yunyi let the two elders in. “It’s done. He should wake up tonight.”
The two elders were extremely excited, thanking him repeatedly. Before Ning Yunyi could speak, Elder An remembered Mr. Zong’s words and immediately transferred a sum of money.
Hearing the sound, Ning Yunyi didn’t stand on ceremony. He opened it to look. Seeing the amount of Star Coins transferred, his expression flickered subtly, but he soon looked over calmly. “Elder An is truly generous.”
Elder An breathed a sigh of relief seeing he didn’t refuse. “It’s only right. Mr. Bai saved my son’s life. The An family has no way to repay you, so we can only use these worldly possessions to thank Mr. Bai.”
Ning Yunyi silently pocketed the thirty million Star Coins, thinking, This isn’t worldly possessions; it smells great.
So, for the sake of these thirty million Star Coins, Ning Yunyi decided to show more concern. “How could Mr. An be attacked for no reason? To injure Lieutenant Xun, the opponent’s spiritual power level must be high. Have you found out who it is?”
Elder An and Elder Xun’s faces changed simultaneously. Thinking of the mastermind, they gritted their teeth. “It shouldn’t be unrelated to the Ji family.”
Ning Yunyi raised an eyebrow in surprise. Was it the Ji family he was thinking of? “The Ji family with a descendant serving in the First Legion?”
The two elders thought of the news they had just heard. “Exactly that Ji family, a nest of bandits. Relying on connections in the First Legion, Ji Peng has bragged quite a bit, but in reality, he’s just an external squad leader.”
Originally, the An family and the Ji family had nothing to do with each other; they weren’t on the same level.
Who knew how Ji Peng got into last night’s banquet and targeted An Dong, wanting to get some benefits from him?
He definitely didn’t do this openly. He ambushed them with a group of high-level spiritual power users who specialized in dirty work.
But Ji Peng didn’t expect An Dong’s bodyguards to be so tough. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses. When fleeing, he didn’t clean up his tracks properly, allowing them to find out so quickly.
Thinking of Ji Peng daring to touch the An family, Elder An’s eyes turned fierce. “If Ji Peng dares to touch the An family, he’d better see if he has the life to bear the consequences. To tell you the truth, Mr. Bai, after finding out, we prepared for the worst. If An Dong wakes up, great. If not, Ji Peng pays with his life. The evidence just arrived. This old man was just about to go to the Ji family. Does Mr. Bai know the Ji family? Want to watch the fun?”
Ning Yunyi naturally knew the Ji family. After all, half of the original body’s life was lost at Ji Hao’s hands.
Ji Peng was Ji Hao’s biological brother, and Ji Hao was now struggling on some corner of the Garbage Star.
Logically, Ji Peng shouldn’t be so poor as to rob An Dong. Could he be trying to get a large sum of money to go to the Garbage Star and bail Ji Hao out?
Thinking of this, Ning Yunyi nodded without hesitation. “Go.”
He was definitely joining this fun.
Ji Hao dared to cooperate with Mu Jiayi so boldly; he didn’t believe Ji Peng didn’t know about it.
The group headed majestically toward the Ji family.
Since they were all in District A, and the Ji family was next to the Ning family, not far from the An family, Elder An led the way on foot.
While Elder An was banging on the Ji family’s door, in a corner of the backyard where Ji Peng lived, the courtyard was empty. Ji Peng was pinned against the wall, a dark shadow pressing down from behind, gloved fingers pressing coldly on the back of his neck.
Extreme spiritual pressure bore down, destroying Ji Peng’s spiritual sea bit by bit, making him want to scream in agony but unable to utter a word.
Ji Peng trembled in pain, but couldn’t see who it was at all. He guessed it might be the An family, since he had injured An Dong yesterday.
But how could the An family find out so quickly?
Finally, the spiritual power of the person behind him retracted slightly. A voice, indistinct and devoid of any warmth, sounded coldly: “I want an answer. Speak, live; don’t speak… die.”
Concise words, leaving Ji Peng cold all over, believing the other party really dared to act.
Ji Peng’s throat could finally make some sound. He wanted to beg for mercy, but fear rendered him speechless. It took a long while before he barely nodded.
The person’s voice remained emotionless. “Where did Ji Hao take the Second Young Master of the Ning family six months ago?”
Realizing something, Ji Peng’s eyes widened abruptly. “Who are you? You… you are Ning Zhanfeng?”
With such strong spiritual power and asking about Ning Yunyi, he couldn’t think of anyone else.
The answer was renewed spiritual pressure. “Speak.”
Ji Peng felt his spiritual sea become so disordered it felt like thousands of needles stabbing his brain simultaneously. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Garbage Star! It’s the furthest Garbage Star on the edge! I really don’t know which specific one…”
As he spoke, he found the hand on his neck was no longer applying force. He found himself unable to speak again. At the same time, his spiritual sea was instantly destroyed. His eyes widened, and in the next moment, he screamed and completely lost consciousness.
Ning Zhanfeng watched coldly. He said if he answered, he would live, but he didn’t say how. As long as an unconscious body still breathed, it was alive, wasn’t it?
Ideally moments before the Ji family arrived at the commotion, Ning Zhanfeng, dressed in black, hid in the shadows. In a few breaths, he moved swiftly like a ghost toward the outside of the Ji family estate.
Just as he was about to leap over the outer wall of the Ji family, his peripheral vision caught something inadvertently. His figure, already in motion, paused instantly, looking sharply toward a spot.
