Chapter 1339: Chapter 1328: The Eerie Ancient Painting
“Honey, look at Xiaoqing, she’s like this. Tonight you…”
The stamring words were unfinished, but the aning was obvious.
“It has to be this way.”
Looking at Xu Xiaoqing, who was occupying, Ning Fan could only sigh.
“Brother-in-law is a bad guy, he spanked till my butt was swollen.”
“Sister, you don’t know, Brother-in-law secretly touched just now.”
…
Hearing these words as he was leaving, Ning Fan gritted his teeth and thought, “That little brat, she must have intentionally broken the door.”
Over these days, with his help, Xu Xiaoqing had already learned to control her power. Although she couldn’t wield it perfectly, at least she wouldn’t accidentally hurt others.
Otherwise, how could Ning Fan feel at ease with both of them huddled under one blanket?
As expected, the next day, Xu Xiaoqing was vivacious again, showing no signs of injury.
Watching her perky little butt, Ning Fan sowhat missed the feel from last night, feeling like he had collected a little interest.
“I’m going to school.”
Xu Xiaoqing didn’t hold a grudge for what happened yesterday; instead, she gave Ning Fan a sweet smile before leaving.
“Wife, don’t listen to her nonsense!”
“Oh?”
Xu Ruolan laughed with interest, “What’s Xiaoqing talking nonsense about?”
“Noth… nothing.”
Ning Fan shook his head, then casually asked, “By the way, what were you chatting about yesterday that kept you up so late?”
Last night, he only knew that the two sisters chatted all night, but he didn’t know what they specifically talked about.
With the information from the Clan Leader’s legacy, Xu Xiaoqing had learned to use True Qi for soundproofing,
Unless Ning Fan forcefully broke through, he wouldn’t be able to hear at all.
“Xiaoqing said you bullied her, and she also said…”
Seeing Xu Ruolan deliberately teasing him, Ning Fan quickly said, “Good wife, just tell quickly.”
Ning Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. During those days with the Celestial Clan, his intimate actions with Xu Xiaoqing completely overstepped the brother-in-law and sister-in-law boundary.
“She also said she’ll never let this go with you in this lifeti.”
“That little girl, full of confidence because of her Clan Leader’s legacy, even her words are bold now.”
Hearing Ning Fan’s laughter, Xu Ruolan silently sighed. This statent carried another layer of aning.
“Xiaoqing, it’s not that your sister is greedy. If you’ve really thought it through, then sister…”
Recalling Xu Xiaoqing’s constantly ntioning Ning Fan last night, so string in Xu Ruolan’s heart quietly loosened.
“Wife, do you have ti tomorrow?”
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing Ning Fan’s expression suddenly turn serious, Xu Ruolan added, “Of course, I have ti.”
“That’s good. Tomorrow, I’ll take you sowhere.”
The next day, with a puzzled expression from Xu Ruolan, Ning Fan took her to a small rundown house.
This shabby house was the old man’s forr residence. Now, though the house remained, he was gone, not even his body was found.
In the empty broken house, looking at the familiar interior, Ning Fan forced a smile into the void, “Old man, I’ve co to see you.”
“She’s Xu Ruolan, my wife. Old man, do you think my wife is beautiful?”
Sensing Ning Fan’s sadness, Xu Ruolan held his hand tightly and likewise greeted the void, “Hello, Sir. I am Ning Fan’s wife, Xu Ruolan.”
Although she didn’t know who the old gentleman was, Xu Ruolan knew that this elderly person must have had an extraordinary significance for Ning Fan.
After bowing and worshiping toward the void, seeing Ning Fan still reminiscing sadly about the past,
Xu Ruolan silently stood up, brought so clean water, and started cleaning the room with a cloth,
Though no one lived here anymore, it was Ning Fan’s longing after all, and as his wife, Xu Ruolan wanted to give her sincere care.
Noticing Xu Ruolan’s actions, Ning Fan did not stop her.
The old man not only saved him but also treated him as his own, teaching him diligently.
Ning Fan’s achievents today could all be credited to the old man’s gifts.
Bringing Xu Ruolan here today, the significance of this, in a way, surpassed even the Ning Family of Dragon City.
“Old man, you see, right? My wife is so virtuous; you would definitely like her when you see her.”
As he spoke, Ning Fan’s nose turned sour, “I’m still waiting for you to drink at my wedding feast.”
He silently gazed at a wall, where an ancient painting, “Guiguzi Descending the Mountain,” was hung.
Ning Fan mumbled with a laugh, “Old man, you’re really narcissistic. Always admiring yourself in your own portrait.”
When the old man was still around, he often claid he was Guiguzi, which Ning Fan certainly didn’t believe at the ti. Guiguzi lived so many years ago, how could he still be alive now?
But now, Ning Fan could only express his longing toward the painting,
“Old man, I really wish you were Guiguzi. If you lived thousands of years, why not live a few hundred more. It would be great to beco a thousand-year-old tortoise or ten-thousand-year-old turtle.”
Staring at the ancient painting, Ning Fan both laughed and cried.
At this mont, the Guiguzi in the ancient painting suddenly blinked, with a bit of playfulness.
“Could it be I missed him so much that I’m seeing things?”
Seeing this scene, Ning Fan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, “Old man, don’t scare .”
After rubbing his eyes clear, Ning Fan focused intently, only to find the Guiguzi in the ancient painting really blinking.
“No way. It’s alive. Wife, co over here and look at this painting.”
Ning Fan quickly called Xu Ruolan over, worried that his excessive sadness had caused hallucinations.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look at the eyes in the painting, aren’t they blinking?”
Xu Ruolan stared at the ancient painting for a long ti but didn’t notice anything unusual.
“No, they aren’t,”
Xu Ruolan shook her head, then gently consoled, “The deceased is gone; don’t be too sad, husband.”
It seed she too thought Ning Fan was imagining things due to extre sorrow.
“Sothing’s not right. It’s not that simple.”
Ning Fan calmly shook his head. He had seen it several tis; those eyes were indeed blinking.
“Could it be related to cultivation, that’s why Xu Ruolan can’t see it.”
Thinking of this, Ning Fan infused his eyes with True Qi, gazing at the ancient painting with fiery intensity.
In the Guiguzi portrait on the ancient painting, not only the eyes blinked this ti, but even the mouth moved slightly, as if saying sothing.
But Ning Fan couldn’t hear any sound at all.
“The ancient painting is indeed related to cultivation.”
Noticing this change, Ning Fan cautiously said, “Wife, please step back, preferably leave the room.”
Intuiting sothing big was about to happen, Xu Ruolan obediently withdrew outside the door.
Once again urged by physical strength, the True Qi stirred in the room, with the aura emanating from Ning Fan steadily climbing.
Starting from the Initial Stage of True Qi Realm, then to the Interdiate Stage… until this aura ascended to the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery and stabilized.
With the gathered True Qi of Aerial Mastery stage, Ning Fan’s two eyes were as dazzling as two little suns.
At the sa ti, in Ning Fan’s eyes, the changes in the ancient painting were astounding,
The previously static image seed to co alive, like a movie playing.
