Capítulo 1932: Chapter 1921: Future Arrangents
“Miss Ouyang, long ti no see.”
“Long ti no see.”
Ouyang Feifei nodded, which was considered a greeting.
After all, Lin i held the status of a subordinate, so there was no need for her to be overly enthusiastic.
Seeing everyone present, Ning Fan introduced Ouyang Feifei to the ladies.
“Ziyun, in the future, if there’s anything you need, you can contact Feifei directly.”
This was Ning Fan’s way of ensuring that Hundred Flowers Valley had a ans of communication with the outside world, just in case.
“For anything at all. You can trust her as you trust .”
“I understand, my lord.”
Ziyun was startled for a mont and imdiately realized that Ouyang Feifei was different from Lin i. She was truly one of their own and might even have a close relationship with Ning Fan.
Thinking this, Ziyun couldn’t help but shoot a glare at Shangguan Cai’er in annoyance.
In this world, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, especially among long-ti best friends like them.
The sneaky behavior of Shangguan Cai’er couldn’t possibly escape the notice of Ziyun, the perceptive big sister.
“Feifei, they are all just like you, people I trust the most.”
This statent from Ning Fan imdiately moved the ladies deeply.
“You should all get to know each other.”
Connected by Ning Fan, the eight ladies quickly beca familiar with Ouyang Feifei, and not long after, their relationship was as close as sisters.
Seeing this, Lin i felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
During her days at Hundred Flowers Valley, she was well aware that these eight maids were secretly on guard against her.
Especially Ziyun, who often secretly followed her like she couldn’t trust her.
The only person who truly treated Lin i as a friend was Shangguan Cai’er.
But this friendship was limited only to casual chats.
As for other information, Shangguan Cai’er always avoided answering.
That’s when Lin i realized that this seemingly naive and innocent girl was actually very cunning and was using her.
Being ostracized did not feel good, especially with all her power gone and her sense of security diminished.
In fact, by now, Lin i was wholeheartedly devoted to following Ning Fan.
But sadly, only she knew of her loyalty, and she had no chance to prove it even if she wanted to.
Noticing the complexity in Lin i’s eyes, Ning Fan understood but did not bring it up.
“The strength of the horse is shown by distance traveled; the heart of the person by ti elapsed.”
Gaining Ning Fan’s trust was not an easy task.
The current lack of trust was only temporary, and Ning Fan was willing to give Lin i a chance to prove her loyalty.
Just like right now…
“Lin i, this is a Spirit Pill I mixed. After taking it, it can heal your wounds and greatly increase your martial prowess.”
With that, Ning Fan took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out a small White Jade pill.
“Young Master Ning, are you trying to deceive people again?”
Noticing the sinister cold smile at the corner of Young Master Ning’s mouth, Ouyang Feifei began to play along, deliberately putting on a look of fear and tension as if encountering the most terrifying thing.
“Has the day finally co?”
Staring at the fragrant pill, Lin i was startled inside.
What Spirit Pill, what increase in martial prowess, were nothing more than a facade.
Having spent a long ti in the Jianghu, Lin i knew all too well that this must be so poison used to control subordinates.
Just looking at Ouyang Feifei’s terrified expression, one knew how unbearable the poison might be once it took effect.
Originally, Lin i had thought Ning Fan lacked experience in the Jianghu and had forgotten to use such ans.
But now it seed she was too naive and foolish.
“In any case, I’m not trusted. This might be an opportunity.”

With a fleeting thought, Lin i grabbed the pill, shut her eyes, and stuffed it in her mouth, then managed a smile that looked even worse than crying. “Thank you, Young Master Ning, for the pill.”
Ning Fan said calmly, “You should really thank .”
The scene was t with deafening silence.
Having been slaves and maids at the Hu Family, how could the ladies not know the dangers of the world?
They understood well the gesture behind Ning Fan’s gift.
A hint of struggle flashed through Ziyun’s eyes as she glanced at the expressionless Ning Fan, then resolutely knelt to the ground. “Please, Young Master, bestow the pill.”
Following Ziyun’s lead, all seven other ladies, including Shangguan Cai’er, knelt to request the pill.
“Don’t worry, there’s enough for everyone.”
With a wave of his hand, eight pills flew from the jade vial towards the hands of the eight ladies.
Receiving the elixir, Ziyun swallowed it without hesitation, surprisingly showing a hint of relief in her expression.
After taking the pill, Shangguan Cai’er smiled with delight, feeling as if this brought her closer to Ning Fan.
Seeing the eight ladies sitting there, motionless, Ning Fan couldn’t help but say, “You fools, sit in ditation already.”
Ziyun hesitated, “ditation… Does it need refining?”
She had thought this was a Gu Pill or so kind of poison.
Having been with the Hu Family for so long, she had seen many of their harmful thods.
The Gu Pill was one such poison that allowed the control of a person’s life and death.
The pill was coated in a layer of white wax, inside which lay a Gu insect.
If the antidote isn’t taken regularly, the white wax dissolves, and the Gu insect will devour the internal organs, making life worse than death.
Initially, the Hu Family wanted these maids to take the Gu Pill.
But then it occurred to them that these maids couldn’t leave Hundred Flowers Valley. If they took the Gu Pill, they’d also need to take the antidote regularly.
Seeing it as too troubleso, they spared Ziyun and the others.
“Silly girl, did you really think it was poison? I was only teasing you.”
“No!”
Lin i exclaid in surprise, then quickly and fearfully said, “Young Master Ning, I didn’t an it that way. You are a kind and virtuous nobleman, I would never…”
“Stop with the nonsense. Make use of the drug’s power before it dissipates and try to repair your Dantian.”
Spiritual energy can indeed repair a damaged Dantian, but the process is slow.
However slow, it’s still better than no effect at all.
Although Lin i’s cultivation was destroyed, she still retained her experience in Qi Infusion.
She imdiately focused her mind on guiding the spiritual energy in her body to converge towards her Dantian.
Feeling the soothing cool sensation from her Dantian, Lin i instantly realized that the elixir she just ingested was indeed a good thing.
Without any further distractions, she wasted no ti in sitting cross-legged to ditate and refine the power of the Qi Replenishing Pill.
“Why are you just smiling foolishly? Start your cultivation already.”
Seeing Shangguan Cai’er sitting dreamily close by, Ning Fan urged as he patted her on the buttocks, causing her to blush before imdiately operating her ntal thod.
“An Yi, you stay here and watch over them.”
“Understood.”
The Shadow Squad and Ouyang Feifei, who had already taken the Qi Replenishing Pill, were not in a hurry to cultivate at the mont.
Though there was no imminent danger here, one couldn’t be too cautious.
With the seven-mber combat team guarding the ladies, Ning Fan and Ouyang Feifei left to find another place to talk.
“You truly deserve to be called Young Master.”
Ouyang Feifei joked with a playful smile, “Seeing those silly girls just now, I’m afraid that with just one command from you, even if there’s a fiery pit ahead, they would race to jump in.”
“Don’t say that. They’re pitiable people too.”
Seeing Ouyang Feifei’s curious expression, Ning Fan began to explain the background and origins of Ziyun and the others.
“They deserved their fate. The beasts of the Hu Family deserved a thousand cuts.”
Perhaps because of her sympathy as a fellow woman or her good impression of Ziyun and the others, Ouyang Feifei was full of killing intent at that mont. Her nacing expression made it seem like she wanted to drag the Hu Family out to whip their corpses.
