Part 2
The Ji family head’s lips trembled, knowing he probably couldn’t persuade him. He could only hope the token he sent out would work.
Ning Yunyi was just watching the show and was very satisfied with Elder An’s words.
Ji Hao indirectly caused the original body’s death. Not taking extra action to kill the entire Ji family was already his mercy; asking him to save them was out of the question.
Since arriving, he had leaked spiritual power to probe Ji Peng’s condition. His spiritual sea was completely destroyed, a living dead man. No one could save him.
Afraid of tiring Mr. Bai, the savior of An Dong, Elder An saw Ji Peng’s condition and knew he couldn’t run, so he simply went to the reception hall.
The Ji family head watched with suppressed anger. He was frantic here, and they went to rest?
Any compassion at all?
Ning Yunyi’s group truly had none. However, an hour later, the person the Ji family head invited arrived.
Quite surprising.
Ning Yunyi exchanged a glance with Elder An, their expressions meaningful.
The Ji family ranked even lower than the Ning family among noble families, otherwise, they wouldn’t have clung to the Ning family and later cooperated with the Mu family to curry favor.
Yet, for such a declined Ji family, the head not only invited an S-rank healer with a token but also a Colonel from the First Legion accompanied them.
Ji Peng was an external squad leader of the First Legion, vastly outranked by a Colonel. Yet, his accident could invite such a figure.
This was worth pondering.
Did Ji Peng really attack An Dong last night just to get some Star Coins to save Ji Hao from the Garbage Star?
This Colonel Tu, a middle-aged man with blond hair and a beard, followed the healer with displeased green eyes. Looking around, he frowned in surprise upon seeing Elder An, then looked even more displeased upon seeing the Ji family head.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected Elder An to be here.
The Ji family head didn’t know about Ji Peng’s private dealings; he only knew Ji Peng mentioned this token could save a life.
Colonel Tu could only pretend not to know Elder An and let the healer check Ji Peng’s condition.
Soon, the healer returned and shook his head at Colonel Tu. “The person who attacked Ji Peng had spiritual power far superior to his, subduing him in one move. There must be deep hatred, as they directly destroyed Ji Peng’s spiritual sea. He will never wake up.”
As the last few words came out, the Ji family head’s legs went soft, and he collapsed onto the chair behind him. Never… wake up? Did that mean he became a dead man?
It’s over. The Ji family is completely finished.
Colonel Tu responded with an indifferent hum. Seemingly explaining to the Ji family head but actually clarifying his relationship with the Ji family to Elder An, he said, “He helped me once in a battle not long ago. I promised him this token could save a life. Now that debt is repaid. With his condition, even the top three healers couldn’t save him. Ji family head, my condolences. There are matters in the legion, so I’ll take my leave.”
Without giving the Ji family head a chance, he left with his people directly.
Hearing the spiritual sea was destroyed, the Ji family head knew it was hopeless. But receiving the death notice still made him tremble all over. He looked at Elder An.
Elder An sneered. Before the Ji family head could speak, he opened the evidence, playing a video for him. It was the footage of An Dong being attacked last night, with Xun Xun edited out.
Finally, it tracked Ji Peng’s contact with those people in the past and earlier today; the man hadn’t even changed his clothes.
Elder An looked at the Ji family head’s increasingly ugly face. “You don’t need to know where I got these; I have my ways. I originally came to take Ji Peng to the military for an explanation, but given his current state, considering your loss of a son, I won’t rub salt in the wound. This matter with Ji Peng is considered settled privately.”
The man was a living dead, practically dead anyway. No need for another trip.
The Ji family head dared not make a sound. Without Ji Peng, the Ji family would only decline further.
He dared not offend the An family.
Ning Yunyi watched a good show here and left the Ji family with Elder An and the others.
The big cat beside him had gloomy beast eyes since Colonel Tu appeared. It had seen this Colonel Tu.
Although only once, it remembered.
It was in the palace. It went to see the Crown Prince and encountered the Third Prince. This person was following behind the Third Prince.
So, did the An family’s incident have anything to do with the Third Prince?
If so, why would the Third Prince attack a nutrient solution enterprise for no reason?
How should it warn Ning Yunyi to be careful of the Third Prince?
Ning Yunyi left the Ji family with Elder An’s group. At the previous intersection, he bid farewell to Elder An directly.
The Ji family and the Ning family were close. Since he came to the First Star, he wanted to take Ning Xiao Miao back to the Ning family.
Only then did Elder An know that the one who drove Ning Er’s family out of the Ning house yesterday was Mr. Bai. Naturally, he had no objections.
The two groups separated. Young Master Bai was quite curious about Ji Peng’s accident.
“Uncle, who do you think attacked him? Could it be Ji Peng realized something was wrong and played a self-injury trick in front of us?”
Ning Yunyi shook his head. “No, Ji Peng’s spiritual sea was indeed destroyed, and it was just moments before we arrived at the Ji family.”
Young Master Bai’s eyes widened. “Doesn’t that mean we encountered the attacker?”
Ning Yunyi didn’t deny it. Thinking of the shadow the little kitten saw at the gate, maybe they really did encounter them.
They were walking in; that person was walking out.
Ji Peng’s spiritual power wasn’t low. To subdue the enemy in one move, the opponent’s spiritual power must be at least double-S level.
This Colonel Tu couldn’t help the Ji family for no reason. Ji Peng attacking An Dong was definitely not simple.
Elder An had already controlled the other ten or so people who acted last night. Now that Ji Peng had an accident, it depended on whether they could pry anything from those people’s mouths.
As the Ning family gate got closer, Ning Xiao Miao, who had been hugging Ning Yunyi’s neck, opened his big eyes and looked around curiously.
Finally arriving at the gate, Ning Xiao Miao’s eyes widened. Th-This place is so familiar.
It’s Grandfather and Grandmother’s home.
The original body had brought Ning Xiao Miao back many times, but because the kitten was a half-beast, the original body brought the little guy over after dark.
Or Ning’s parents and Big Brother Ning went to the mountainside to visit the original body.
Ning Xiao Miao had a good memory and remembered this place. In his memory, Grandfather and Grandmother had hugged him at the gate.
Ning Xiao Miao’s eyes reddened. His small hand tightly gripped his father’s collar, his small face pressed against his father’s cheek, silent.
He knew his father took him to flee for a long time, changed his name, and changed his hair color. He couldn’t say this was the home of him and his father.
Ning Yunyi turned his head and kissed the forehead close at hand. “Are you sleepy? Want some nutrient solution?”
Ning Xiao Miao shook his head, but still accepted the pure white tube Ning Yunyi gave him without packaging.
His small face buried in Ning Yunyi’s neck, his breathing gradually calmed.
Ning Yunyi held the little kitten, the big cat flicked its tail and followed slowly, and Young Master Bai opened the door and started gesturing what was missing here and there.
Passing the front hall, Young Master Bai’s nose suddenly twitched, and he looked precisely at Ning Xiao Miao with a swish.
