Chapter 156: The Person Behind The Scenes
“Go back and concentrate on your cultivation, and strive to advance to the state mind realm as soon as possible.”
Once Xu Ning saw that the preparations were done, he did not say anything else.
“Senior, I still don’t know how to address you.”
Bao Weijing asked.
Xu Ning paused. “My surna is Tao.”
Xu Ning concealed his surna.
“Senior Tao, when I return to the family clan, how should I find you?”
Bao Weijing asked again. He was afraid that once he returned to the family clan, he would lose contact with Xu Ning.
“Which restaurant is the best in the Crystal Mansion?”
Xu Ning asked.
“It’s the Drunken Spring Pavilion.”
Bao Weijing responded.
“You can find there.”
Xu Ning said.
“Understood, Senior.”
Bao Weijing bid farewell respectfully.
Afterwards, Xu Ning left.
‘Whether I can make a coback depends on this.’
Bao Weijing had a firm expression on his face.
…
Bao Weijing returned to the Bao family mansion.
Clueless, he didn’t know that Xu Ning had been following him all the way back.
“I hope this Bao Weijing can do well.”
Xu Ning stood at the entrance of the Bao family mansion and looked from afar.
Afterwards, Xu Ning tried to sense the strength and number of void realm martial artists in the Bao family mansion.
However, Xu Ning suddenly felt a strong aura.
“Void realm eighth stage?”
Xu Ning frowned.
Xu Ning had sensed the aura of a void realm eighth stage martial artist in the Bao family mansion.
Xu Ning’s expression suddenly changed slightly. He instantly restrained his aura and disappeared outside the Bao family mansion.
In two to three seconds, a young man in a blue robe suddenly appeared on the roof of the Bao family mansion, looking down at the place where Xu Ning had just disappeared.
“Soone was spying on the Bao family just now.”
This person was Bao Ruyuan’s senior brother, Fang Jie, and he ca to the Bao family mansion to deliver the news of Bao Ruyuan’s passing.
Fang Jie had co to the Bao family mansion a few days ago and told the Bao family about Bao Ruyuan’s death in the mystic realm.
At this news, the Bao family felt heartache for losing a talented descendant of theirs. The death of Bao Ruyuan ant that the Bao family’s future plans had suffered a setback.
However, although Fang Jie brought bad news to the Bao family, the Bao family still treated Fang Jie with respect.
Fang Jie was a void realm eighth stage martial artist, the second core disciple of the Yuelan Sect. He would definitely beco an elder of the Yuelan Sect in the future.
In order to build a relationship with Fang Jie, the Bao family spent a lot of effort over the past few days to make Fang Jie agree to stay in the Bao family mansion for a while.
“Martial Nephew Fang, what happened?”
Soon, another figure appeared behind Fang Jie.
The one who asked that question was an old woman. Her hair and beard were white, and her face was winkly, making her look quite aged, but she still treated Fang Jie cautiously.
If Xu Ning was here, he would definitely recognize that this old woman was the one who kidnapped him to State Jifeng.
The old woman’s na was Bao Qiuhua, and she was the strongest warrior of the Bao family. She was also the person with the most authority in the Bao family. Although she was a just clan elder, she held more power than the Head of the Bao family.
However, she only focused on her own cultivation. She did not involve herself in the Bao family’s affairs.
Bao Qiuhua was an old friend of Elder Gujuan.
When Bao Qiuhua was still an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect, she had a relationship with Gu Juan.
And because of Bao Qiuhua, Elder Gujuan accepted Bao Ruyuan as his disciple.
“Soone was spying on the Bao family mansion just now.”
Fang Jie said. He was still sensing whether the aura of that person was still there.
“Soone is spying on us?”
Bao Qiuhua looked surprised.
She was a void realm sixth stage martial artist, which was already quite impressive.
But just now, soone was spying on the Bao family mansion, but she didn’t sense it at all, which shocked Bao Qiuhua.
“Yes, that person is a void realm seventh stage martial artist. After sensing my aura, he imdiately took the initiative to leave.”
Fang Jie said, “I just don’t know if he has a feud with your Bao family, or is he just passing by and checking on your family.”
“This…”
Bao Qiuhua frowned. “Although so disappointing descendants in the family had caused trouble outside and made so enemies, no one dares to co to the Crystal Mansion to cause trouble. Maybe a powerhouse just passed by and casually checked.”
“Maybe…”
Fang Jie nodded. He felt that there was no need to make a fuss.
There were many potential experts in State Jifeng, so it was reasonable for them to pass by here.
“Co, Disciple-Nephew Fang, I will take you to see the younger generation of my family.” Bao Qiuhua’s tone had a hint of flattery. “Please tell who is worthy of being grood.”
“Okay.”
Fang Jie did not refuse.
After looking at the place where Xu Ning disappeared, Fang Jie and Bao Qiuhua disappeared from the roof.
Several streets away, Xu Ning, who had completely restrained his aura, looked in the direction of the Bao family mansion with a look of fear in his eyes.
“It seems that my previous caution was correct.”
Although Xu Ning had tried to overestimate the might of the Bao family, Xu Ning didn’t expect that there would be a void realm eighth stage martial artist in the Bao family; this had greatly exceeded his expectations.
At this mont, Xu Ning still didn’t know that this person was Fang Jie.
‘If I sneak into the Bao family and make a move, I will definitely be discovered by this person. Even if I use a dao weapon, I will definitely expose my identity.’
Thinking up to this point, Xu Ning felt a little lucky.
‘It seems that it will take so ti to rescue the Wei family mbers.’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
But he was not in a hurry. He could take his ti.
After that, Xu Ning disappeared from the street corner.
He then went to the Drunken Spring Pavilion that Bao Weijing ntioned before. He was going to make this place his temporary residence.
In any case, if Bao Weijing had any troubles in the future, it would be convenient for him to co and find him.
…
After Bao Weijing returned to the Bao family mansion, he quickly returned to his small courtyard.
If it weren’t for the surging strength in his body, Bao Weijing would have thought that today’s experience was a dream.
‘I have to reach the state mind realm within half a month, only then can I show off to the family!’
Bao Weijing’s eyes were firm.
Half a month later, the family clan would hold a sparring session between the young generation of the family.
This kind of sparring session was held every three months, and every ti the Family Head would co and spectate it.
Although Bao Weijing was talented, he lacked resources and guidance, causing him to be unable to compete with the younger generation of the family.
About this, Bao Weijing had always been embarrassed.
Forget about being noticed by the Family Head and other high-ranking family mbers, it would be good if he were just ignored.
‘However, while improving my strength, I have to be careful.’
Bao Weijing was nervous. The assassination just now gave him a strong sense of crisis.
‘Who would want to attack ?’
A few people appeared in Bao Weijing’s mind.
The people in his mind had deliberately suppressed him in the past.
“No matter who it is.” Bao Weijing made up his mind,.”Since we are in the family, no one is allowed to kill each other. If a descendant of the family is found out to be dead, it will be investigated. And once the investigation is done, the murderer will definitely be exposed.”
“The one who planned to kill should also know this, so they attacked outside of the family territory.”
Bao Weijing thought,?‘It seems that although the current situation is dangerous, it has declined to the worst situation yet.’
‘Plus, I still have the bag of poison powder to protect myself, so I don’t have to worry too much.’
After Bao Weijing thought about it, he stopped wasting ti and began to cultivate in his small courtyard.
He wanted to quickly absorb the residual effects of the Pure Source Pill in his body and quickly advance his realm.
…
Inside a villa in the Bao Mansion.
“Madam, sothing happened.”
A person who looked like a butler walked into the house and said to a cold-looking woman.
“What is it?”
The cold woman’s expression did not change as she drank a mouthful of tea.
“The assassination attempt on Bao Weijing failed, and all of the guards were killed.”
The butler sounded anxious.
“What?”
The woman’s hand trembled and the water in the teacup splashed onto her sleeves.
“Bao Weijing has such strength?”
The cold woman put down the teacup, her expression ugly.
“He shouldn’t have such strength, but there may be strong warriors protecting him.”
The butler said.
“You an, Bao Weijing has helpers?”
The cold woman showed a worried expression. At the sa ti, after Bao Weijing’s na was ntioned, her eyes were full of hatred.
This cold woman was Bao Xinxian’s wife.
The reason why Madam Quan hated Bao Weijing was because of Bao Weijing’s mother.
Not long after Madam Quan married Bao Xinxian, Bao Xinxian was captivated by Bao Weijing’s mother and married her as a concubine.
At this point, Mrs. Quan was jealous, but she didn’t dare to show it.
However, after she lost Bao Xinxian’s favor, Madam Quan began to target her secretly. She joined forces with many people in the Bao family to suppress and ostracize Bao Weijing’s mother, causing her to suffer from depression.
In the final stages of her life, Madam Quan also secretly persuaded the servants in the mansion to stop her dicine, which accelerated her death.
After so many years, Madam Quan hid the fact that she had secretly stopped the dicine delivery, but even then, she still disliked Bao Weijing.
But because of Bao Xinxian, Madam Quan never dared to kill Bao Weijing.
But recently, a core disciple nad Fang Jie from the Yuelan Sect ca to the residence.
Apparently, the clan elder Bao Qiuhua used various thods to win over Fang Jie.
As such, Fang Jie had agreed that anyone of the younger generation in the Bao family could enter the Yuelan Sect as an outer disciple.
Generally speaking, those from the Bao family who had good talent and no future in the family would definitely be willing to enter the Yuelan Sect.
In Madam Quan’s opinion, Bao Weijing would definitely make this choice.
Madam Quan was worried about this.
This was because she knew that Bao Weijing was quite talented, but was limited by resources.
If he entered the Yuelan Sect, he would receive the resources he needed, which would allow him to show his talents. And once he discovered what she did to his mother, he would definitely take revenge.
Therefore, Madam Quan secretly sent people to kill Bao Weijing while he was out.
It was to eliminate hidden dangers.
However, her plan had failed this ti.
