Chapter 412 - 412 411 So You Were Waiting Here
Chapter 412: Chapter 411: So You Were Waiting Here Chapter 412: Chapter 411: So You Were Waiting Here Family Head Luo felt the same way; he never expected his dignified and gentle eldest daughter-in-law to be such a flirtatious woman.
He also suspected that the people behind Lou Yinghua had big plans and decided to conduct an overnight interrogation tonight.
He didn’t know who was coveting the Luo Family behind the scenes, which was a significant hidden danger.
At the same time, he had a splitting headache, thinking that if his son in the Forbidden Land knew about this, there would probably be a commotion.
A trace of murderous intent toward Lou Yinghua also emerged in his heart.
This woman had disguised herself for so many years and managed to fool him and his wife completely, sabotaging their relationship with their son and granddaughter, which was utterly unforgivable.
After his eldest son passed away, he proactively offered Lou Yinghua the option to leave the Luo Family and remarry, and he would compensate her with a generous dowry.
But Lou Yinghua instead acted as if she was deeply in love with his eldest son, proposing to have a ghost marriage.
She even claimed that she was Luo Yiqi’s woman in life and would be his ghost in death, saying she would rather die than leave.
He and his wife were moved by this at the time, believing they had not misjudged her, so they agreed.
Who would have thought that underneath her so-called deep love was calculation and filth?
This vile woman cuckolded his son, making him wish he could kill her immediately.
And what was more infuriating was that they were actually considering this promiscuous vile woman as a potential wife for the second son.
Thinking back on this made Family Head Luo feel that everything he and his wife had done was a joke.
He then felt a tightness in his chest and his blood flow was not smooth; if the occasion had been appropriate, he truly would have wanted to cough up blood.
Feeling the gaze of onlookers from other families as if watching a drama, he knew what they must be thinking.
As a result, he felt an even greater pressure in his chest, more inclined to go mad, and he truly did regret.
He snorted coldly and, following the Lou Family, took his people and left the venue.
Members of the other clans, afraid of being targeted by Luo Ning, scattered one after another.
The members of the Lei Family also left, leaving only Lei Lifei and Lei Qiu behind.
Lei Qiu wanted to leave too, but he didn’t dare.
Whether it was the Lei Family Elders or the younger generation, all of them acted as if they didn’t recognize the acting family head, leaving Lei Lifei speechless.
He just stirred up some trouble; did these guys really have to react this way?
Luo Ning, watching Lei Lifei with a puzzled expression, said with a smile, “Uncle, it seems your popularity isn’t so great!”
Not only did other clans shun Old Lei, but even the Lei Family members did the same.
It had to be said, Old Lei’s disguise was very successful.
The disturbances he caused previously led everyone present, including the Luo Family, to firmly believe Old Lei was holding a grudge against her father for breaking his leg and seeking revenge on the Luo Family.
They never imagined that Old Lei had actually been putting on a show with her father all along.
Lei Lifei rolled his eyes, “That’s because they lack vision.”
Luo Ning said with a smile, “Uncle, I see your father-in-law holds quite a grudge against you; you better be careful.”
Lei Lifei raised his eyebrows, “Great-niece, I think your cheap grandfather is even angrier at you, so you should be careful yourself.”
He felt that Luo Ning’s escape from the island this time might not be so easy.
The Luo Family initially wanted to bring Luo Ning back for punishment.
Now that Luo Ning had demonstrated such high talent and value, and she was so hostile to the Luo Family,
he guessed the Luo Family wouldn’t want Luo Ning to continue growing stronger and would likely capture her and confine her.
If the Luo Family did such a thing, they could completely claim it was a private matter of the Luo Family, and other clans wouldn’t have the right to interfere.
Luo Ning also had her suspicions, “No worries, I’ll be careful around them and won’t return to the Luo Family.”
Regarding the idea of being captured and following the Luo Family back, Luo Ning hadn’t considered it.
After all, the Luo Family had been able to maintain its legacy for a thousand years, and its foundation was still intact.
Though her strength was indeed great now, once on their turf, it was still very possible that she would be trapped by the Luo Family and unable to leave the island.
For example, Luo Family’s Forbidden Land, she wouldn’t be able to leave if she entered now.
Unless she reached the Heavenly Human Unity Realm, she could enter without any concerns.
Seeing Luo Ning not taking the previous incident lightly, Lei Lifei relaxed.
“That’s right, the strength of the Luo Family is not as simple as it appears on the surface.”
“Especially since the Luo Family is best at Arrays, the family’s island is set up with many trapping Arrays; once you enter, it’s very difficult to come out.”
Lei Lifei said with a smile, “I had been worried that you might want to take the opportunity to go back to the Luo Family and then see your dad.”
He hadn’t expected Luo Ning, though young, to be so rational.
Luo Ning shrugged, “I’m not stupid; I do miss my dad a lot.”
She looked at Lei Lifei and asked, “Uncle Lei, you should be able to contact my dad, right?”
Lei Lifei laughed, “You little cunning spirit, how come you’re so clever?”
His own children were nowhere near as sharp as Luo Ning.
Luo Ning smiled, “I inherited it from my dad, and ever since my dad disappeared, my mom and I have had to rely on each other. If I wasn’t clever, we would have been devoured bone and all by now.”
Lei Lifei chortled, “I think the focus is the latter part.”
He certainly wouldn’t admit that Luo Ning inherited it from Luo Yicheng; wouldn’t that mean his stupid son inherited it from him?
He’s so clever and shrewd, and his stupid son must be a genetic mutation…
“Do you have any message you want me to pass on to your dad?” he asked.
Luo Ning nodded, “Please tell my dad that my cheap grandfather is going to make a move against me, that I’ve been bullied by the people of the Luo Family, and ask him to come out and stand up for me sooner.”
According to Ji Xinghang’s memory of time, her dad would still take a long time to come out, so she needed to give him the right push.
To take his precious daughter’s side, she believed her dad would reach the Unity of Heaven and Man even sooner.
Lei Lifei: “…” This girl is ruthless, already starting to apply eye drops* to Old Man Luo.
No wonder she was provoking the other party to make a move earlier; so she was waiting here.
He laughed with a ‘heh-heh,’ “Okay, I’ll make sure to deliver your message.”
He too couldn’t wait for Luo Yicheng to come out, he was barely holding up on his own.
After today’s events, he would become a thorn in the Luo Family’s side.
Right, and there’s the Lou Family, the Lou Family Patriarch is probably cursing at him right now.
It’s not easy being him.
Luo Ning smiled and said, “Thanks, Uncle Lei.”
Lei Lifei raised an eyebrow, “Thank me properly, and not just with words!”
Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you want both pills and high-level magic artifacts?”
Lei Lifei gave Luo Ning a big smile, “My clever niece, I like dealing with smart people.”
The two chatted and walked, settling on the quantity.
Luo Ning was quite generous with Lei Lifei.
Lei Lifei didn’t take advantage of Luo Ning either, exchanging items of similar value for pills and high-level magic artifacts.
When they returned to the Lei Family home, Luo Ning and Luo Ranran sat in the courtyard, enjoying the breeze and chatting.
Luo Ning sipping on juice said, “Ranran, let’s leave the island once the exchange meeting is over.”
Given what Luo Ranran had done before, she must have caught the attention of the Lou Family Patriarch, and returning to the Lou Family would definitely not end well.
Luo Ranran nodded, “I think so too; from now on, I’m going to follow Brother Ning.”
She wouldn’t foolishly go against the Lou Family without the absolute power to destroy them.
As the two were talking, Lei Qiu walked in.
He looked at Luo Ning and said, “Luo Ning, the Sikong Family would like to invite you over as a guest.”
[*”Apply eye drops” is an idiomatic expression often used to describe someone trying to ingratiate themselves with someone else, or to subtly manipulate or influence another person to act in one’s favor.]
