Chapter 557: Chapter 557 Grandpa San falls ill and leaves, Ruanruan feels depressed

The reducing length of the red thread denotes Qin Ruan’s life is in a critical state.

Leaning against the bed, Qin Ruan’s dark eyes flashed with a dangerous glow.

The Underworld King gifted her rebirth not to await death’s upon arrival.

She needs more Evil Qi to sustain her life.

The people of the Nangong Family must have been taken action against by Master Wu, this puppet left behind in the mortal world surely possesses a severe amount of Evil Qi.

After Master Wu is sent to the Netherworld, Li Manning will follow him.

The Evil Qi on these two puppets should be enough to maintain her life line for a short period.

After the semester begins, she might explore the forbidden lands of the Shengshi Academy.

There, she can find the much needed Evil Qi which she’ll collect eventually.

A deep thought crossed Qin Ruan’s face, she needed to collect a large amount of Evil Qi to sustain her life before giving birth.

The following months would be busy for her.

However, she felt gloomy tonight, nothing pleased her, she didn’t even have an appetite.

The illness of Third Master has left the Huo Mansion, affecting her inevitably.

Qin Ruan glanced outside, dimming the room’s lights.

She lay on the bed, pulling her quilt up to hypnotize herself into falling asleep quickly.

Once asleep, she would not have to ponder upon anything.

Pregnant women are naturally susceptible to sleep, and not long after, Qin Ruan drifted off into a light slumber.

Before she fell asleep, her exquisite brows were knitted together, not relaxing for a moment.

Her sleep wasn’t peaceful.

Qin Ruan’s breathing was irregular, varying between shallow and heavy.

...

The Nangong Family.

Here was now heavily guarded by the hidden guards from the Huo Family.

Upstairs, Nangong Chang and Nangong Yunlong were separated and watched over.

The father and son were unaware of each other’s situation.

Nangong Chang was seriously injured, he had no chance to worry about Nangong Yunlong as he remained unconscious.

As for Nangong Yunlong, he was in a state of rage in the next room.

If father and son were together, Nangong Yunlong might have a chance to send his son away.

Right now, he didn’t even know the extent of his son’s injuries.

All he knew was that Huo San had hurt his son.

Everyone in the Capital City knew that Huo San was a gentleman with a dust-free charm and gentle as jade.

Few people knew that once he took action, it would leave one close to dying or disabled.

People who seemed as gentle and noble as Huo San, usually disdain to take action.

But once they did, it was lethal.

Nangong Yunlong paced around the room.

He was restless, pacing back and forth in his room incessantly.

"Bang, bang——"

There came a knock on the door.

Without waiting for Nangong Yunlong’s reply, the man outside walked in carrying a bag of food.

The hidden guard of the Huo Family didn’t even glance Nangong Yunlong’s way, placing the bag of food on the table.

A small sound was made as the items were placed on the table.

The guard turned and left.

From the beginning to the end, he didn’t glance at Nangong Yunlong once.

As if he wasn’t even aware of the man in the room.

"You, stop!"

Nangong Yunlong frowned and yelled.

The hidden guard from Huo family didn’t even halt his steps, still steadily heading for the door.

Nangong Yunlong was enraged, "I told you to stop! Didn’t you hear me!"

For all these years in a high position, when had he ever been ignored like this?

Nangong Yunlong was wrapped in anger, rage and even a trace of murderous aura.

The hidden guard from the Huo family, who was extremely sensitive to the intention to kill, immediately pulled out the weapon he carried behind him, swiftly pointing it at Nangong Yunlong who was behind him.

Underneath the muzzle, Nangong Yunlong showed no fear, a cruel glint appeared in his eyes.

"How is my son now?"

"No comment!"

The concealed guard from the Huo Family retreated, quietly exiting the room.

Nangong Yunlong was vexed and seething. He furiously approached the table and swung the bag of food brought in by the Hidden Guard onto the floor.

"Smack!"

Milk and bread spilled onto the floor.

Suddenly, something caught Nangong Yunlong’s eye.

Quickly rushing over to the bag that had held the milk, he picked up a box that had been hidden under the bread.

Several eye-catching words were printed on the box - "Two in the Morning".

They looked like they were part of the packaging at first glance.

Only Nangong Yunlong knew that this was his method of communication with his confidants.

Two in the morning?

That was when his confidants would attempt the rescue.

Nangong Yunlong tightly clenched the box, crushing it out of shape.

As his son’s fate hung in the balance and the two were being held separately, he knew the chances of a successful rescue were slim.

Unless one was sacrificed.

A shadow cast over Nangong Yunlong’s eyes as a hint of hesitation flickered within.

However, it was soon replaced by a look of resoluteness.

...

The Nangong Family mansion.

In a small room underground, a group of men gathered, discussing something intently.

The man leading the discussion, with his rough features, exuded a brutal vibe.

He was outlining the rescue plan for Nangong Yunlong and Nangong Chang for after "Two in the Morning".

"Sixth Brother, our Family Head and Young Master are not together now. How are we going to deal with the Huo Family members outside the gate?"

The man they called ’Sixth Brother’ was none other than ’Sixth Son’ who had always been by Nangong Chang’s side.

He gave the questioner a grave look and answered, "The usual way. Use the Soul Calming Incense."

The Soul Calming Incense was something from the Yin Yang Sect.

For many years, it had enabled them to execute many secretive schemes unnoticed.

One of them asked hesitantly, "What if the Soul Calming Incense doesn’t affect them?"

Sixth Son pulled out a weapon from his bosom and aimed at the person who spoke.

The silenced weapon made a dull sound.

Followed by a thud, the man collapsed.

A wicked smile tugged at the corners of Sixth Son’s mouth as he cast his ruthless gaze at the others.

"We have never made a mistake before, and we cannot afford to this time. Anyone who utter words that cause unrest and compromise our fighting capacity deserve to die!"

"Yes, Sixth Brother!"

"Understood, Sixth Brother!"

The remaining men expressed their loyalty one by one.

After discussing the meticulous operation plan, Sixth Son waved his hand, "Everyone to your positions and be careful tonight. If we rescue the Family Head and the Young Master, we are all heroes!"

The men nodded solemnly and turned swiftly to leave.

Soon the small secret chamber was left with only Sixth Son.

He sat in defeat on an old stool, his expression solemn, betraying a hint of anxiety about the unknown situation.

The corpse at his feet stared at Sixth Son with wide eyes.

Disturbed, Sixth Son kicked him in the head.

A dull thud sounded as the man’s head was knocked sideways.

The degree of neck distortion was beyond what a normal person could achieve.

With a cold huff, Sixth Son stepped over the corpse and strode out of the chamber.

Under the streetlights, it was clear that the uniform he was wearing belonged to a Hidden Guard from the Huo Family.

Sixth Son glanced at the Hidden Guard stationed not far away from him, as he strolled nonchalantly through the spacious mansion compound.

Unbeknownst to him, a shadow had been following him since he left the chamber.

A phantom-like shadow trailed just behind Sixth Son, each step matching his own.

Shrouded by a strong aura of Evil Qi, and the terrifying resentment, the shadow was more than just ordinary.

The shadow was none other than Wu Daotang, keen on finding a new host after being mistakenly killed by Nangong Yunlong.

And now, he had set his sights on Sixth Son.

Sixth Son, being the key person in tonight’s rescue operation, would lead to unimaginable consequences, once possessed.
