Chapter 998: Chapter 987: Ning Fan Brother, I am Xue’er!
Zhao Xue’er’s old father bent over and squinted, carefully examining the peanuts they had sold.
Two dark brown bugs were crawling around inside the bag, quite conspicuous.
The middle-aged man turned around with a face full of worry and said to Zhao Xue’er:
“Xue’er, there really are bugs.”
“But, Dad, when I just gave them to him, there weren’t any…”
Zhao Xue’er looked at her father’s weathered face, her voice filled with grievance.
Her father shook his head and turned back to Ning Xinlan, bending his waist even more.
“Sorry, sorry… Miss, can we compensate you with money? If not, we’ll pay double.”
Ning Xinlan let out a cold laugh, with a hint of arrogance mixed with satisfaction:
“Compensate with money? Do I look like soone who needs money? I don’t want money, I just want justice. I want this vicious Zhao Xue’er to kneel and apologize to !”
Seeing this, Ning Fan was fuming with anger inside, almost finding it laughable.
Justice? Is this how the Greater Magellanic Galaxy defines justice?
However, what puzzled him was that he had no impression of this Ning Xinlan but sohow felt very familiar with the nearby Zhao Xue’er.
The middle-aged man’s eyebrows knitted into a knot as he spoke in a hoarse voice:
“Miss, I know Xue’er, she doesn’t have a malicious bone in her body. There’s no way she would deliberately put bugs in there…”
Ning Xinlan glared at Zhao Xue’er fiercely, her voice increased a few decibels:
“I say, Uncle, girls change a lot over ti. Who knows what she has beco? Just because you knew her as a child doesn’t an you know her now. Isn’t it more vile if she even deceives her own father?”
“I did not deceive my father, nor did I put bugs in the peanuts! You’re just being unreasonable!”
Zhao Xue’er clenched her fists, finally exploding, and argued loudly with Ning Xinlan.
“Ha, the evidence is clear, and you still want to deny it? Looks like we need to help the young lady Zhao Xue’er understand what humility ans!”
Ning Xinlan waved her hand, and the black-clad servants behind her imdiately surrounded the small stall.
It was obvious that Ning Xinlan was preparing to resort to violence.
“Sigh, another lawless place, no choice but for this young master to stand up for Miss Xue’er.”
Ning Fan shook his wrist and stepped in front of Zhao Xue’er’s stall.
“Who are you? Are you trying to stop from seeking justice?”
Ning Xinlan raised her head and loudly asked Ning Fan.
Ning Fan spread his hands, a mischievous smile on his face:
“I’m just an onlooker who doesn’t know the truth, noticing the bag of buggy peanuts from Miss Ning had lots of suspicious points, just want to clear things up!”
Ning Xinlan looked very impatient, waving the transparent package bag and asking fiercely:
“The peanuts she sold have bugs, the evidence is clear, what else is suspicious?”
“May I ask, Miss Ning, what kind of bug is that?”
“Cockroach, commonly known as Xiao Qiang, don’t you recognize it?”
“I say, Miss Ning, you’re probably a humanities major, right?”
Ning Fan pointed at Ning Xinlan, his gaze filled with disdain for the ignorant.
Ning Xinlan raised her eyebrows and imdiately asked:
“Wh… what does this have to do with humanities or science majors? Do humanities majors deserve to find cockroaches in their purchases?”
Ning Fan shrugged, continuing:
“Miss Ning, anyone with a bit of common knowledge knows that cockroaches live in dark and damp environnts. With the sun shining so brightly now, and Xue’er having only dry goods on her stall,
it’s like the Sahara Desert for cockroaches. Why would they seek an extre challenge just to cooperate with your demand for justice?”
Ning Xinlan’s eyes darted around in her sockets, and she responded loudly:
“What if… it’s a drought-resistant species?”
“So you’d rather believe in a genetically mutated cockroach than your classmate’s integrity?”
Ning Fan smiled as he looked into Ning Xinlan’s eyes.
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
“I told you Zhao Xue’er wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“This guy is hilarious, the Sahara Desert for cockroaches, haha.”
“The hot school belle Ning Xinlan is really embarrassed now; guess more common knowledge education is needed.”
Suddenly, Ning Xinlan’s eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent.
The True Qi around her flowed rapidly, clearly preparing a killing move.
“At least True Qi Realm cultivation… It seems Ning Xinlan is indeed no ordinary person.”
Ning Fan noticed Ning Xinlan’s murderous intent and imdiately beca cautious.
“Swish!”
Ning Xinlan brought her right index and middle fingers together, suddenly raising her hand, and an invisible blade of air shot out diagonally, flying straight toward Ning Fan’s brow.
With the crowds all around, releasing such a targeted special move was an incredibly reckless action.
Ning Fan quickly sidestepped, the invisible air blade slashing upwards, severing several branches before disappearing into the far blue sky.
Ning Fan made an exaggerated dodge gesture, frowning:
“Such a big fly, scared to death… Anyone would be startled seeing that.”
Ning Fan did this partly to cover his evasion actions and also to warn Ning Xinlan not to go too far in public.
Of course, Ning Xinlan didn’t believe Ning Fan dodged the killer move due to avoiding a fly by chance, she imdiately glared and asked:
“Who exactly are you?”
“Didn’t I say, I’m just an onlooker, the truth isn’t completely unfolded yet, would Miss Ning be interested in continuing the investigation?”
Ning Fan raised an eyebrow at Ning Xinlan as he spoke.
Going deeper naturally would reveal Ning Xinlan’s attempt to fra soone.
Ning Fan issued another warning, urging Ning Xinlan to leave quickly.
“Don’t play dumb with , I asked for your na!”
Ning Xinlan still glared fiercely at Ning Fan, not relaxing even a bit.
“I’m telling you to go where it’s cool and stand in it!”
Ning Fan gestured with his hand, his tone cold, clearly not intending to compromise.
“Hmph, don’t think I won’t find out just because you won’t say. I’ll let you know you’re dead!”
Ning Xinlan flicked her hand, surrounded by black-clad servants, she walked onto a Lamborghini and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief, turning to see Zhao Xue’er looking at him with bright sparkling eyes.
Emotionally excited, Zhao Xue’er said: “Ning, Ning Fan, is it really you?”
“Do you know ?” Ning Fan frowned.
“Brother Ning Fan, it’s , Xue’er! Have you forgotten?”
Zhao Xue’er’s eyes welled up with tears,
“Xue’er?” Ning Fan wondered, does she know ?
Ning Fan was puzzled; in his mory, he didn’t recognize the school belle-level girl in front of him.
“Yes, it’s , Xue’er!”
Zhao Xue’er stepped forward and grabbed Ning Fan’s arm, her eyes filled with excitent.
“I am Ning Fan, but I…”
Ning Fan wanted to say he didn’t recognize her, but the words stuck in his throat, because since he arrived in Dragon City, he had felt waves of familiarity.
It was related to his own heritage mories. Right in front of him was such an opportunity, if he refused, it would interrupt his exploration.
Zhao Xue’er bead with joy, exclaiming:
“Brother Ning Fan, I didn’t expect it to really be you, where have you been all these years!”
“This… it’s a long story, a very long story indeed.”
Ning Fan smiled at Zhao Xue’er awkwardly, not knowing where to start.
No matter what, there’s finally hope in retrieving his mories.
