Chapter 84: Wu Xiaoyu, Breaking Obstacle Dan

  "What's going on?"

  Ning Cai Chen's brain was still in a state of stagnation and he couldn't understand what Ning Feng meant at all.

  "Waiting for you."

  Ning Feng gently handed a cup of tea to his old father and said in a warm voice, "The situation with the Wu family, we can understand it in just a few words. As a small family attached to the Temple of Gods, they want to know our bottom line even more easily."

  According to Zhao Jia brothers, Wu Jia had long since declined, and it wasn't until this generation that there were legitimate successors who could inherit the true tradition along with the children.

  "So rest assured, Father, we will wait for him."

  Ning Caichen nodded, still with a bewildered expression on his face. It was not that he truly understood, but rather that he habitually trusted his son's judgment.

  Ning Feng leisurely sipped his tea, gazing calmly at the sky as it gradually darkened, and dusk had arrived.

  "Dad...... can you sit down, I'm dizzy."

  The gentle breeze was no match for Ning Chai's frenzy, especially after he had gone around in circles dozens of times, and could only reluctantly compromise.

  "Will someone really come to our house?"

  Ning Caichen reluctantly stopped and still asked with unease a question he had already asked dozens of times.

  "It's okay."

  Ning Feng nodded in agreement, he had always believed that a family could pass down through generations, and there must be something extraordinary about it.

  "The Wu family is unwilling to marry Wu Ai to Father because they finally have a son who can become the heir of the Temple, and this opportunity must be seized, all chips must be put in, and the best environment must be created for him."

  "Wu Ayi is just one of the pawns."

  Ning Feng noticed that when mentioning Wu Xiao Yu as a pawn, Ning Cai Chen's face looked extremely unpleasant.

  "He couldn't help but secretly sigh: 'It seems, Father really likes that Wu Xiao Yu.'"

  Just as before. Ning Feng secretly clenched his fist without anyone noticing: "This time, it's the kid's turn to help you fulfill your wish."

  Ning Feng waited for Ning Cai Chen to calm down a bit, then continued: "The goal of the Wu family will absolutely not change, but the immortal families have their own wisdom in continuing their lineage. Unless they are forced to, they would not be willing to make another enemy, an enemy who may one day become a fellow inheritor of the Divine Palace!"

  "So, someone will definitely come tonight, and it's probably going to be Aunt Wu."

  Ning Feng finished speaking. Ning Cai Chen shook his head repeatedly and said gloomily, "Your Aunt Wu must have been confined at home. She had told me about this worry before, saying that her family wanted to marry her off, and if they really decided on a suitor, she would be confined until the wedding."

  "Otherwise, she should have arrived by now."

  Ning Feng helped Ning Cai Chen sit down and patted his hand reassuringly.

  "Don't worry, Dad, she'll definitely come."

  Ning Feng still had confidence and explained: "What they want is just a price, if we can afford to pay the chips, Wu's family doesn't have to offend the child."

  "Dad, wait patiently for a moment..."

  The sound of Ningfeng's words had just fallen. A faint, hurried and disordered footsteps echoed clearly in the quiet night.

  "Rustle, rustle, rustle", the father and son's eyes simultaneously turned towards the gate of the courtyard.

  The gate was tightly closed, with no signs of movement.

  Ning Caichen suddenly jumped up and was about to rush over and open the door.

  Ning Feng was so shocked that he couldn't laugh or cry. He quickly pulled himself together, thinking to himself how his own father seemed just like Murong Yu's young self. Could it be that his own biological mother and he had an arranged marriage, not even having experienced romance?

  Thinking like that about his own father and the birth mother he had never met was somewhat disrespectful, Ning Feng quickly shook this thought out of his mind and sat down next to Ning Cai Chen.

  "It's probably going to be Wu Xiaoyu, but that's just my personal judgment. What if it isn't? Can't reveal too much at the beginning of contact."

  Ning Feng was thinking this way, preparing to comfort his furious father, when a goose-yellow figure appeared in his line of sight.

  "Hmm..."

  Ning Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his head to look at Ning Cai Chen, only to see that his own father was also making the same swallowing motion, clearly shaken.

  That yellow goose-like figure, under the gaze of the father and son, struggled to climb over from the other side of the courtyard wall...

  "Climb over the wall..."

  "This aunt is a bit..."

  Ning Feng hadn't even finished turning his head when he heard Ning Cai Chen let out a strange cry and hastily went to support him.

  "Light Rain"

  "Hello?"

  The yellow-robed figure was already Xiao Yu, and when she had difficulty flipping over the wall and falling down, Ning Caichen was half a step late and couldn't catch her.

  The two of them stood under the courtyard wall, as if no one was around, holding hands and gazing at each other with tearful eyes.

  One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

  Ning Feng waited and waited, but these two people still hadn't remembered that he was there too, so he couldn't help but clear his throat a few times.

  "Cough cough cough... Cough cough..."

  "Ah~" Ning Caichen hastily let go, his face red like a monkey's buttocks, it was embarrassing for an old man to still be so shy.

  Wu Xiaoyu was indeed straightforward, but a red glow floated onto her face as she curtsied to Ning Feng and said: "You must be Master Ning, I am Wu Xiaoyu."

  It was then that Ning Feng could take a good look at this woman who had climbed over the wall.

  She looks decent, even if she climbs over the wall and enters from inside, her clothes and hair are a bit messy, but still gives people a sense of peace.

  Wu Xiaoyu is the kind of person who makes you feel at ease and calm when you're with her.

  She looks like she should be in her thirties, but doesn't have too much of an air of age and experience. Beyond the elegance and poise of a mature woman, there is still a hint of girlish playfulness.

  Climbing over the wall is not something every adult woman can do - no matter what the situation.

  "What's with the 'young master' nonsense? Our family has long since fallen on hard times. This kid doesn't have a young master's fate, just call him Wind."

  Ning Cai Chen's face was filled with emotion as he spoke, and as a son, Ning Feng could only smile bitterly at his words.

  Wu Xiaoyu shook her head, a desolate look on her face, and said: "Ning Gongzi, Ning Lang has always been worried that you would oppose him, and Xiaoyu too... also thought so."

  "Today is our first meeting, and maybe there won't be another chance later, so Xiaoyu took the liberty. She called you 'Feng'er'."

  She said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red and she started sobbing.

  Wu Xiaoyu burst into tears, and Ning Caichen immediately panicked, running around her in circles for half a day before finally coaxing her to sit down by the stone table.

  In just a moment, Wu Xiaoyu had cried into a tearful person, and the strong disguise she had pretended to be before was completely gone.

  "Uncle Wu..."

  Ning Feng pursed his lips, this title was truly unfamiliar and difficult to utter, "...... Are you the one who escaped?"

  Wu Xiaoyu took out her handkerchief and wiped away tears. She nodded slightly and said sorrowfully, "My family will be looking for me soon, I think I can only stay for a little while before I have to leave, otherwise it will implicate you all."

  She couldn't care about being reserved anymore, and took Ning Caichen's hand, with the other hand habitually helping him tidy his hair and clothes, her movements gentle and soothing, revealing her affection.

  Normally, this was the gentle warmth Ning Chichen enjoyed the most, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about that. He gave Ning Feng a fierce glare, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer:

  "You've got it!"

  Ning Feng sighed and said, "Wu Auntie. You're just a weak woman without any cultivation, how did you manage to escape?"

  "Huh?"

  Wu Xiaoyu's hands paused in their movement, her face showing a hesitant expression, as if she too was doubting.

  "Do you feel like today's Wu family is particularly slack?"

  Ning Feng asked again.

  Wu Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then nodded in confusion.

  "Ah-ya Auntie, before you escaped or during your escape, did you hear anything?"

  "Ah~"

  Wu Xiaoyu covered her mouth with her small hand, and the look of surprise couldn't be concealed. If it weren't absolutely impossible, she would have thought that Ning Feng was present at the scene at that time.

  "I heard...... I heard......"

  Her face turned red, at this point, she didn't know what was wrong, this time the red wasn't shyness, but shame, shame for her own family.

  "It doesn't matter what Aunt Wu says."

  Ning Feng personally poured a cup of tea and had Ning Cai Chen deliver it to Wu Xiao Yu's hands.

  Wu Xiaoyu sipped the hot tea, calming down, and then said with a sorrowful expression: "Today, my uncles and aunts at home announced that they would keep me under house arrest until after I get married. They continued to discuss Xiao Shan's affairs, saying... saying..."

  She gritted her teeth and finally suppressed the feeling of shame, saying: "As long as there is a Broken Barrier Dan as a betrothal gift, it's not like I can't be married to Ning Lang."

  Wu Xiaoyu escaped overnight and didn't dare to mention this matter, wanting to see if Ning Caichen and his son, who was the direct descendant of the Sun God Temple, had any solution.

  It wasn't until she heard Ning Feng's tone that didn't feel right that she mentioned this matter, and even she herself felt ashamed.

  If there were a crack in the ground, she would have crawled into it and wouldn't even dare show her hair.

  "This is said for Aunt Wu's ears."

  Ning Feng shook his head and took care of Wu Xiao Yu's emotions without laughing, saying lightly: "It was also said to me."

  "But Po Zhuan Dan... how can this be good?"

  Ning Caichen couldn't sit still, got up and paced around the stone table, messing up his hair that had just been tidied.

  "Po Zhang Dan, a precious pill for breaking through from the middle to late stages of Qi practice, is made with the same main materials as Zhu Ji Dan medicine, so few people refine it, and it has a price but no market."

  Ning Feng said leisurely, Ning Cai Chen became increasingly annoyed. How could he not know after operating in Langya for so many days?

  For all Qigong practitioners, Pojan Dan is a dream come true.

  "Dear husband, don't worry."

  Wu Xiaoyu held Ning Caichen's hand, a smile blooming on her face: "At most, Xiaoyu won't go back."

  "Not going back?" Ning Feng shook his head, and understood her unspoken meaning, was it that she would rather die than go back?

  Ning Caichen, who was usually out of tune, was sensitive at this time and hastily said: "Xiaoyu, don't think wildly, Feng'er will definitely have a way."

  "Is it?"

  Ning Caichen's gaze was almost pleading for help.

  Ning Feng knew this was no ordinary time, so he nodded decisively: "Of course!"

  "Huh?!"

  Ning Caichen and Wu Xiaoyu looked up together.

  Is Po Jun Dan so easy to obtain? If it were really so, why would Wu's family use it as a bargaining chip?

  "Otherwise, I might have to ask Master or Senior Brother for help."

  Ning Feng smiled slightly and stood up, saying: "Now, the small competition is about to begin. If I'm not mistaken, one of the prizes for the last small competition was a Breaking Obstacle Pill!"

  "This time, it won't be an exception either!"

  Ning Feng finished speaking and turned his back on Ning Cai Chen and Wu Xiao Yu, who were both stunned, and loudly said:

  "Wu senior, am I right?"
