Chapter 624: Chapter 622 Design 6_1

"Absolutely!" Ning Mo’s father nodded, his eyes flashing with venomous determination, then added, "Those people are formidable; not only will they find a way to abduct Xia Ningxing, they’ll also do it without leaving a trace."

"That is indeed excellent!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Mo’s eyes immediately sparkled with satisfaction and anticipation.

As long as Xia Ningxing died, within the whole family, there would be few who could surpass her in power, and the position of Family Head would certainly be in her bag.

"That being said, we still need to discuss this matter at length and cannot afford a single mistake; otherwise, our fate will mirror that of Ning Xiaoyou and the others." Ning Mo’s mother said with a grave tone.

Indeed, with the precedent of Ning Xiaoyou and others, Ning Mo’s mother couldn’t help but worry.

"Don’t worry, Mother, I have a premonition that Xia Ningxing will definitely encounter trouble this time!" Ning Mo added.

Ning Mo’s mother’s anxious heart settled down considerably, knowing that the women of the Ning Family often had very accurate premonitions.

Nevertheless, to ensure that nothing went wrong, the Ning Mo family still discussed and planned for quite a while.

In the end, they decided to initiate their plan when the new Family Head traditionally went to the Book Pavilion for sealed-off study.

According to tradition, the new Family Head of the Ning Family had to stay in the Book Pavilion for three days to read medical texts and inheritance books that only the heads could see, along with historical records and so on.

And it was to be a sealed-off experience.

By then, Xia Ningxing, isolated and unaided, would have no chance of survival!

As for Xia Ningxing being skilled, huh, please, even if her skills were excellent could she possibly evade an attack from a wooden barnacle?

Mrs. Xia Ning was just then personally packing Xia Ningxing’s belongings: "My girl, this Book Pavilion is actually like a museum of our Ning Family; its purpose is to let each successor experience the history of the Ning Family’s development."

As she packed, she explained things to Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help asking, "Aren’t there any awesome medical books or miraculous prescriptions?"

She had thought that such a mysterious place would surely contain treasures or peerless medical scriptures like in novels or dramas.

"There used to be, but not anymore; all those rare prescriptions and medical texts have been stolen." Mrs. Xia Ning said, her gentle face tinged with a sigh and regret.

And quite coincidentally, the time when these prescriptions were stolen was not far from when her husband died.

But apart from this, there was no other similarity between the two events.

"How could they have been stolen?" Xia Ningxing felt pained and puzzled.

The Ning Family was filled with patrolling guards and deadly traps; one misstep could result in death, not to say people – even a fly would probably not be able to get in. Under such circumstances, the theft of medical texts seemed unbelievable!

However, Xia Ningxing quickly realized: "Could it be an inside job?"

If that was the case, then it would make sense.

Even if the Ning Family was as impregnable as Fort Knox, it couldn’t defend against the gnawing of termites from within!

Mrs. Xia Ning nodded: "I think so too, but unfortunately, I have searched for a long time without finding any traces; it’s as if they vanished into thin air."

"That’s such a pity." Xia Ningxing sighed.

However, in her heart, she secretly vowed to find and retrieve all those lost prescriptions and medical texts.

This way, not only could she enhance her own medical skills, but she could also establish her prestige – it would be killing two birds with one stone.

"All packed." Mrs. Xia Ning folded the last item of clothing.

Xia Ningxing hugged her: "Thank you, Mom, for all your hard work!"

"What’s there to thank for." Mrs. Xia Ning ruffled her hair affectionately.

Before leaving, Chuanchuan stretched out his chubby little hands, clinging to Xia Ningxing’s skirt and not letting go, his clear and innocent eyes gazing up at her like a little deer, eagerly saying, "Mommy, can I... go too!"

"Do you want to join?" Xia Ningxing’s delicate eyebrows lifted slightly as she tickled his armpit and held him in her arms.

"Mhm!" The little guy immediately nodded his head cheerfully, thinking she had agreed.

But the next second, she was hit by a sudden blow.

"No." Xia Ningxing refused, "Mom can only go by herself, just for three days; after three days, Mom will be back."

The little creature pouted, clearly reluctant but still let go of her hand, "I will miss Mom."

He blinked his dark, clear eyes, slightly tilting up his little face, his chubby cheeks earnestly speaking.

"Mom will miss Chuanchuan too," Xia Ningxing said affectionately, ruffling the soft hair on his head.

"And..."

Just as the little creature obviously had more to say, Lu Tingli forcibly interrupted, "Enough, stop dithering. You’re already a mature man; don’t always cling to other people’s wives."

Chuanchuan: "..."

Afterwards, Lu Tingli embraced Xia Ningxing, sighing, "Take care of yourself."

"Don’t worry, Lu, I will," Xia Ningxing hugged him tightly, nodding against his ear.

Lu Tingli and the others watched her enter the Book Pavilion.

Book Pavilion.

No sooner had Xia Ningxing stepped inside than she detected a faint scent; the surroundings were spotless, walls lined with soothing candlelight.

The deeper she walked inside, the more spacious it became.

Soon, Xia Ningxing found herself in the center of the Book Pavilion.

She was dressed in an antique white gown with frog buttons, her seaweed-like ink hair pinned up at the back of her head, a few playful strands hanging by her forehead. Her pointed chin, skin fair and faintly pinkish, lips slightly pursed, a pair of brilliant starry eyes surveyed the surroundings.

The brown shelves bore just a few sparse books, pitifully few.

The surrounding walls depicted the ancestors of the Ning Family and divine physicians, accompanied by very ancient text chronicling the Ning Family’s historical sediment.

For some reason, although Xia Ningxing had never learned nor recognized these strange and complex characters, she could easily discern their meaning.

She followed the wall with her eyes.

It turned out that the Ning Family had started rising from the Southern Country since ancient times with several prominent physicians, particularly one who was the chief Imperial Physician of that era.

Impressive, truly impressive!

Xia Ningxing was inwardly amazed.

At this moment, Xia Ningxing did not yet know that one day she would actually meet her own ancient ancestor...

Nearing the end, Xia Ningxing discovered some remaining ancient prescriptions.

She hurried over and picked them up promptly.

It seemed these had been left behind because they were incomplete, and hence of no interest to thieves.

But what they didn’t treasure, she did!

If she could restore these ancient prescriptions, then the Ning Family was sure to make a big splash in Star Shine, even internationally.

It would also be beneficial for her to establish her authority!

Another win-win situation!

Xia Ningxing’s eyes sparkled with eagerness to try.

In the following days, besides eating, drinking, and sleeping, Xia Ningxing devoted all her thoughts to restoring the ancient prescriptions.

There was a bedroom in the Book Pavilion, and the bedroom had a large hot spring for bathing.

As for meals, someone would deliver them punctually every day.
