“The person who saved you was my second eldest brother,” Luo Wei put away the complicated feelings in his heart and offered Ning Fei a seat, “When we received the news that soone wanted to kill Ming Jian Villa’s Ning Fei at the capital, we went one step ahead and saved you.”
Ning Fei asked imdiately, “Who would want to kill ?”
Luo Wei smiled, “Young master Ning, your martial arts skills are very accomplished. If you had earned high honors this ti during the martial exams, I think there would be many people who would be jealous, right?”
Ning Fei’s emotions ran cold, he believed what Luo Wei was saying. Not many people were aware of him coming to the capital to participate in the martial examinations. Other than the few brothers he had, who else could it be? “Then why would the third young master save ?”
Luo Wei answered, “The Luo family have no relations with you, so we wouldn’t go out of our way to help without expecting sothing in return. We think very highly of young master Ning’s skills. Master Ning of the Ming Jian Villa might not appreciate it, but we certainly do.”
Luo Wei was straightforward, so Ning Fei didn’t mince words either, “What does the young master want to do?”
Luo Wei pointed at a sealed envelop on his own desk, “This is a recomndation letter written by my father. If young master Ning is willing, you can take this letter to Yun Guan to et my eldest brother, Luo Qi, Luo Shi Yi, and beco his second in command.”
“You want to join the military, and follow your eldest brother?” Ning Fei had thought that the Luo Family would want him to be their bond-servant. He couldn’t have expected that they would want him to join the army and beco a general.
Luo Wei asked, “Does young master Ning not want to join the army?”
Becoming a part of the military had been Ning Fei’s dream, how could he not want this? But could sothing as good as this just drop out of the sky? Ning Fei watched Luo Wei’s smile with suspicion.
“My eldest brother has always been stationed at important holds near the border,” Luo Wei said, “He needs talent such as you by his side. I think that the arrangent would be quite suitable for you as well.”
Ning Fei asked, “You don’t even know , how do you know I have ability to take on this role?”
Luo Wei replied, “We know exactly who the master of the Ming Jian Villa is, so we’ve always had our eyes on the villa itself. We don’t just know about you, young master Ning, we know about all your brothers as well.”
“Then how can you trust ?”
“Why wouldn’t we trust you?” Luo Wei chuckled, “There’s no way for you to return to Ming Jian Villa, is there?”
Ning Fei approached the desk.
Luo Wei handed the letter to Ning Fei, “Young Master Ning, we’ve just t, so it’s natural for you to not trust , but I bear no ill will against you. My eldest brother is a man who knows the importance of skill and talent. Even though he’s reached success at such a young age, but he’s very easy to get along with. I think the two of you will like each other very much.”
Ning Fei took the letter and knew that he would never return to Ming Jian Villa. He’d always wished that he wasn’t Ning Shu Ying’s son, that he wasn’t a mber of Ming Jian Villa. How could he turn down this chance when the Luo family were offering him a way out?
“Leave Madam Wang and the two little ones here with ,” Luo Wei said, but as he saw Ning Fei’s expression cooling, he quickly added, “When young master Ning has settled in Yun Guan, I’ll have people accompany them to et you there.”
Ning Fei finally lost that hint of coldness in his expression. Luo Wei wasn’t going to keep his mother and his siblings as hostage in order to control him.
“You can stay here for the next few days, spend so ti with your family,” Luo Wei spoke every word with compassion and care, “But don’t leave the estate, just to be sure. The person pulling the strings behind Ming Jian Villa isn’t soone to be trifled with. We have beautiful gardens in the estate, you can stretch your legs there.”
Ning Fei nodded. Luo Wei had thought of everything. “Thank you,” He said to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei smiled, “It’s not a problem.”
Ning Fei finally smiled. It was easy to get along with Luo Wei. Even though this person was of the chancellor’s estate, and the disciple of the emperor, but Ning Fei could feel that perhaps they could really beco friends.
