Chapter 590: Chapter 588: Invitation from the Ning Family 6_1

Ning Mo pursed her lips, and without speaking, her body shifted to the side, allowing her to enter the room.

"You’re not wrong--in the face of external enemies, our priority should be to unite against them."

After entering, Ning Xiaoyou couldn’t help but ask, "Cousin, have you heard? Xia Ningxing is already on her way here!"

As she spoke, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her eyes brimmed with rage, as if she wished she could tear Xia Ningxing into pieces.

"I’ve heard," Ning Mo nodded, returning to her desk to continue reading the book before her.

Her expression was indifferent, as if she didn’t care at all.

"How can you remain so calm? Don’t forget, auntie said she would take her as an apprentice. Aren’t you afraid she will steal your place in auntie’s heart?" Ning Xiaoyou pressed, her irritation evident at Ning Mo’s unaffected demeanor.

"Who auntie takes as an apprentice is her personal freedom," Ning Mo’s response was still nonchalant, seemingly unconcerned.

But if one looked closely, they would see her jaws clenched tightly, filled with resentment and jealousy, and the veins on the backs of her hands popped.

She had worked hard from a young age, pleasing her aunt more than her own mother. So why hadn’t she become the apprentice, while Xia Ningxing, a stranger, caught auntie’s eye?

Was it because she had developed the antidote for this poison? Was that so impressive?

It was all down to her good luck in finding the Medicinal Wood!

If she had Medicinal Wood too, she would have come up with a solution even faster than her!

So even if Xia Ningxing had developed the medicine, in Ning Mo’s heart, she was far from her equal.

Because Xia Ningxing relied on luck, while she used ability!

"Ha!" Ning Xiaoyou could clearly see the jealousy in her cousin; she sneered, "Come on, cousin, it’s just the two of us here. Drop the act. Isn’t it tiring? I know you’re jealous and resentful. So let’s work together to deal with Xia Ningxing!"

"What can be done?" Ning Mo sighed deeply, finally dropping the facade.

She set down the medical book in her hand and looked up at her: "Unless she disappears from this world, auntie will eventually take her as an apprentice. You know auntie—once she decides to do something, she will do it!"

She spoke as if it didn’t matter, but the pupils hidden behind her lashes flickered with a dark light, seemingly tempting Ning Xiaoyou intentionally.

Indeed, wouldn’t it be wonderful if Xia Ningxing just disappeared from this world?

Then she would no longer become auntie’s apprentice!

And she wouldn’t have to be filled with jealousy every day!

Besides, there was her husband Lu Tingli, such an attractive man who could become single again—maybe she could even catch his attention.

Yes, she was interested in Lu Tingli.

So, this was a perfect opportunity to achieve three goals at once!

Ning Xiaoyou was so excited she felt like dancing on the roof; a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

She would make Xia Ningxing disappear!

Disappear!

Noticing the simple-minded Ning Xiaoyou’s shift in thought, Ning Mo’s lips curled into a slight smirk.

Smart people knew how to use others to eliminate their enemies.

She believed her naive cousin would find a way to deal with Xia Ningxing.

"Cousin, I have some matters to attend to; I’ll leave first." Ning Xiaoyou, eager to set her plan in motion, hastily left after dropping this line.

After her departure, Ning Mo smiled in satisfaction.

Excellent, Xia Ningxing would be dealt with without her lifting a finger.

And after Xia Ningxing’s death, she could play the good Samaritan by reporting Ning Xiaoyou to auntie, thus eliminating another rival.

The smile on Ning Mo’s lips grew even broader.

The Ning Family resided deep in the mountains and forests.

Xia Ningxing had already reached the base of the mountain at this moment.

A guide stood next to her.

"Miss Xia, please follow me closely," the guide said with a smile, then proceeded to lead the way.

Xia Ningxing nodded slightly.

When she left, Xia Ningxing discovered that the path leading to the Ning Family was fraught with numerous traps and intricate formations. Without a guide, one would certainly get lost, and, most importantly, risk triggering a trap and meeting a ghastly end.

As she walked, Xia Ningxing saw the man who had been guiding her disappear in a flash.

"Hey!"

Caught off guard by his sudden abandonment, Xia Ningxing immediately rushed after him.

But the man had already vanished without a trace.

Xia Ningxing knew it was because of the formations that the man could easily shake her off or become invisible to escape.

She couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Surrounded by peril at every turn, a moment’s inattention could result in a gruesome death. Clearly, leaving her behind like this indicated a desire for her demise here.

She had thought that the Ning Family had invited her with sincerity, only to realize that the invitation was a ploy to kill her.

No, that’s not right. The tone of the Family Head on the invitation had been warm and sincere, which meant that the person wanting her dead was not the Family Head but somebody else!

Xia Ningxing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed her rage, and forced herself to calm down as she began to break the formations.

Hah!

Did they really think that by abandoning her here, she would die as they wished?

In their dreams!

She was determined to break through these formations and storm into the Ning Family to expose the culprit behind this scheme.

Because!

She, Xia Ningxing, never suffered losses! She had to settle scores on the spot!

Subsequently, Xia Ningxing proceeded as if she had a cheat code – the formations and traps were like child’s play in her eyes, so simplistic in design that she solved them with ease in no time at all.

And so, she advanced relentlessly!

Truthfully, even Xia Ningxing wasn’t sure why she was able to decipher these formations that seemed insurmountably difficult to the ordinary person; she only needed to glance once or twice, three times at most, and the solutions to break the formations or disarm the traps would involuntarily spring to her mind.

At this moment, the Ning Family’s medical conference had already begun.

On the way, there were dozens of traps, so Xia Ningxing had been delayed somewhat.

Seeing that Xia Ningxing had not arrived, Mrs. Xia Ning, who was seated at the head, couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Why hasn’t she come yet?

Wasn’t it said that she had already arrived at the foot of the mountain?

She should have arrived by this time, by all accounts!

Could something have happened?

Mrs. Xia Ning’s thoughts ran wild with worry.

She wanted to go look for her herself, but the medical conference needed her to be the host.

Beside her, Ning Mo saw this and immediately spoke up, "Aunt, should I have someone go check on Miss Xia again?"

Her words struck right at Mrs. Xia Ning’s heart.

She nodded at once, "Go check quickly!"

"Yes, aunt," Ning Mo immediately sent someone to look.

But after a while, there was still no sign of Xia Ningxing.

Murmurs of private conversation began to spread around—

"Who would have thought Xia Ningxing would make such a grand entrance, still not arriving until now!"

"Indeed! A mere performer has all of us waiting!"

"These secular people really can’t compare with us!"
