Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Master Ning’s face was no longer as serious as before. He was smiling happily, which made Elder Qin look at him with envy. Look! This old man was really lucky. A good little girl like Mo Chu was kidnapped by his grandson to be his wife!
“Sigh -” Thinking of this, Elder Qin could not help but sigh, but he quickly pulled himself together.
No way! Those bastards of his had to be urged. Otherwise, how long would he have to wait? !
At the thought of this, Elder Qin could not hold it in any longer. His immediately flared up. He said a word to Elder Ning and hurriedly ran back! Humph! Ning Yiyuan, this child, was younger than them. Now that they had already decided, what reason did they have to avoid it?
“Hey! This old guy runs fast!” Elder Ning chuckled. “I wanted to extort a gift from him, but I guess I’ll have to wait for the next time!”
Mo Chu, who was listening by the side, could not help but find it funny. People always said that old boys were like children when they were old. Now, it seemed that what they said made sense.
“Alright.” Elder Ning turned his head and looked at Ning Yiyuan. “Since the time for you to swear the oath has been set, hurry up and finalize the things. Later, make a list for the adjutant, and ask him to help you do it.”
“Okay.” Ning Yiyuan stood up and replied in a clear voice. The smile in his eyes was almost overflowing!
This appearance made Elder Ning snort coldly. This little brat! Ever since he was young, he had always had a cold expression on his face, like a block of ice. Now that he had sworn an oath, his face was almost smiling like a flower. He had never seen him so attentive to him before! “Alright, let’s go. Let’s go to the living room to discuss it.”
“Okay.” Elder Ning walked in front, while Mo Chu and Ning Yiyuan fell behind.
Even though they were still at the Ning Family’s old mansion, Ning Yiyuan was not honest. He actually held Mo Chu’s hand so casually and even kissed her face lightly, giving Mo Chu a fright! Damn! Grandpa Ning and Uncle Ning were less than a meter away. Ning Yiyuan was so bold. Was he not afraid of being scolded?
“There are still three months!”
“Huh?” Ning Yiyuan’s words stunned Mo Chu. What did he mean by there are still three months?
When she met Ning Yiyuan’s deep eyes, she realized that there were still three months before they swore an oath.
“I really hope that time can be faster!” Ning Yiyuan whispered into Mo Chu’s ear, his tone filled with frustration. He could not wait any longer.
“It’s done!” Mo Chu’s little face was perfectly fine from his teasing. She struggled to pull her hand away from his iron-like palm, but Ning Yiyuan held it tightly.
At this moment, Ning Zhenhai suddenly glanced at them from the corner of his eyes, scaring Mo Chu so much that she almost jumped!
He stared at the hands of the two little guys in amusement, and Ning Zhenhai turned his head away as if nothing had happened. Mo Chu could not help but let out a long breath.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Ning Yiyuan looked at Mo Chu’s embarrassed look and chuckled. He rubbed Mo Chu’s head with his other hand. What a silly girl! With just the two of them, how could they hide from grandfather and the others? They probably already knew about it. Only this little girl still had a worried expression on her face.
Enough! Mo Chu gave him a warning look and pulled her hand out before walking forward with a serious expression. However, it was because of this that she noticed that when Ning Zhenhai was walking in front of her, there seemed to be something wrong with his legs.
Mo Chu could not help but pause in his footsteps.
Ning Yiyuan naturally noticed her strange behavior as well. He stopped slightly and explained softly in her ear, “This is an old wound that my father left behind on the battlefield. Because it took too long, so…”
Ning Yiyuan’s tone was very clear and shallow, but Mo Chu could hear some pain from it. He could not help but raise her head slightly.
Ning Yiyuan was currently staring at Uncle Ning’s injured leg. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry surfaced in his eyes.
Although his relationship with his father was not very deep, he could understand the pain in his heart. A person who was used to the battlefield could only turn to the political world because his legs were inconvenient. This regret would probably remain in his heart forever…
“Perhaps, I can give it a try,” looking at Ning Yiyuan’s gaze, Mo Chu suddenly said.
Her voice was not loud, and the two figures in front could not help but pause!
“Little girl, you… Are you speaking the truth?” Elder Ning suddenly turned his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. He could not help but feel some hope rise in his heart.
Even Ning Zhenhai, who was beside him, could not hide his excitement as he stared at Mo Chu. It was not that he had not been treated back then, but because he had been delayed for too long on the battlefield, the nerves and bones in the wound had almost all been damaged. It would be a fool’s dream to want to recover! However… If it was this girl, there might still be some hope. After all, she had already created too many miracles, right?
Meeting Ning Zhenhai’s gaze, Mo Chu opened his mouth slightly. “Well… I have to take a look at the specific condition of your wound first.”
“Okay!” Without waiting for Ning Zhenhai to speak, Elder Ning agreed immediately. His eyes were rarely filled with a hint of prudence and gratitude. “No matter what the outcome is, we… will thank you for this!”
Ning Zhenhai sat on the sofa and rolled up his trouser legs. A shocking scar fell on the joint of his knee. Even though it was already scarred, it was still shocking to look at. It was enough to imagine how painful the scene at that time was!
“You’re scared, right?” Looking at Mo Chu’s shocked eyes, Ning Zhenhai could not help but chuckle. His hand caressed the scar on his leg. “It just looks a little scary. Don’t be afraid.”
He actually treated Mo Chu like a child.
“It’s fine.” Mo Chu raised her head and gave a sweet smile. When she lowered her head again, her eyes could not help but focus as he carefully examined the wound on Ning Zhenhai’s leg.
Elder Ning and Ning Yiyuan, who were beside him, also stared at her without blinking. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
After a long while, Mo Chu finally stopped.
“How… How is it?” Elder Ning asked in a deep voice, but his voice was slightly trembling.
For so many years, he had watched this child step by step from the battlefield into the unfamiliar political world. Even though Zhenhai had never mentioned it, he still clearly knew that this child still loved the career of a soldier. He still could not forget the time when he had fought with blood! However, this injured leg had limited all of his dreams… How could a soldier with limited mobility lead the army in battle?
“If it’s Medicinal Cuisine, its effects probably won’t be very great,” Mo Chu said honestly. After all, this injury had been there for too many years. If he only wanted to rely on Medicinal Cuisine, its effects would be too slow and the effects would definitely not be ideal.
“Is that so?” Hearing this, Elder Ning could not help but lower his head. A trace of regret flashed across his face. It seemed that it still would not work!
“It’s fine.” Ning Zhenhai laughed heartily. “I never had much hope for this leg.”
After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! However, Ning Yiyuan saw a flash of darkness in his eyes, and he could not help but clench his fists slightly.
“No! The Medicinal Cuisine won’t work.”Mo Chu raised her head slightly, her bright black eyes faintly glowing, instantly attracting everyone’s attention. “I can also try using my special ability, the light attribute special ability!”
Hearing that, Elder Ning’s eyes lit up! That’s right! The information did say that the light attribute special ability had a healing effect, but it could only be used when the user’s level was above tier eight. Now, Mo Chu…
“Don’t move yet.” Mo Chu took a deep breath. With a slight movement of his hand, a milky-white light-like object slowly appeared in her palm.
“This is… light element?” Upon seeing this, the usually composed Elder Ning could not help but widen his eyes. After all, only one light attribute special ability user had appeared in the entire galaxy in the past thousand years, this was as rare as a world-class national treasure. He did not expect that he would be able to see it with his own eyes in his lifetime. He could not help but show some excitement on his face!
“Yeah,” Mo Chu replied in a low voice. She carefully covered Ning Zhenhai’s injured leg with this ball of light energy, maintaining the state of continuous output of light energy. It was obviously an extremely simple action. However, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Mo Chu’s forehead, and her breathing could not help but become slightly heavier!
“Don’t be anxious.” Ning Yiyuan’s distressed voice rang in her ears. The usually cold and hard man’s action of wiping Mo Chu’s sweat was unbelievably gentle.
“Right!” Ning Zhenhai could not help but nod. He lowered his head and looked at his injured leg. “It’s been so many years. Even if it can’t be cured, it’s still fine.”
Mo Chu smiled at them, but her delicate little face showed some determination. “If we don’t try, how can we know the final result?”
Everyone could not help but be stunned! At this moment, they seemed to see the resolute soul in this weak little girl’s body taking root and sprouting, rapidly growing into a towering tree…
“Well said!” Elder Ning stared at Mo Chu with eyes full of appreciation. Such a little girl should be the granddaughter-in-law of the Ning Family!
Time passed little by little.
Finally, when the ball of light in her hand disappeared, Mo Chu stood up. There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but she could not hide her anticipation. “Try it. Do you feel anything?”
Even though he said that he did not care, how could Ning Zhenhai not have hope in his heart? He used the strength in his thigh to move his calf slightly. It was still the same as before… He could not use his strength.
“Still… nothing?” Just from Uncle Ning’s expression, Mo Chu could tell the result. Her tone could not help but carry a hint of disappointment.
“It’s fine.” Ning Zhenhai patted Mo Chu’s shoulder, a gentle smile appearing on his face. “Thank you, Child.”
He had already expected this result, so he was not disappointed at all.
Mo Chu lowered her head and did not say anything. However, deep down, she did not give up. Perhaps it was because her light attribute special ability was not strong enough yet. Even if she could produce a healing effect, the effect was not too obvious. Perhaps, when her level increased, it would have an effect!
“Alright, Little Girl, you should rest for a while too.” Seeing the exhaustion in her eyes, Elder Ning could not help but say a few words. After this incident, his attitude towards Mo Chu had also become gentler, there was no longer the disdain from before. It was all the care and love from the elders towards the younger generation.
Mo Chu naturally felt it as well. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up as she sincerely said, “Thank you!”
She had been in the orphanage since she was young. The most missing thing was probably the care and love from the elders. However, she did not expect to feel it in the Ning Family today. Her heart could not help but feel warm.
“Yes, you’ve been busy all afternoon. Go to your room and sleep for a while.” Ning Zhenhai stood up and walked a few steps closer. He softly said to Mo Chu, then turned to look at Ning Yiyuan. “Take Little Chu to her room.”
“Yes.” Ning Yiyuan nodded and held her hand. “Let’s go.”
“Wait!” Mo Chu did not move. His gaze fell on Ning Zhenhai’s leg. “Uncle Ning, take a few more steps.”
“Huh? Okay.” Ning Zhenhai was stunned. He still followed Mo Chu’s instructions and took a few steps.
“Do you feel that your legs are a little sore?” Mo Chu raised her head. Just a few steps earlier, she suddenly realized that Uncle Ning’s walking speed was a little slower than before.
“Sore?” Ning Zhenhai was silent for a moment, then strode up again. After walking around the house for a full circle, his eyes lit up as he turned back. “It seems… I really feel something!”
His previously numb legs seemed to have regained the sense of touch. Although it was subtle, he could vaguely feel it.
“Really?” Hearing this, Elder Ning could not help but look delighted, and his tone was a little shaky!
“Yes!” Ning Zhenhai nodded heavily.
“It’s probably because the treatment just now was effective.” Mo Chu looked a little happy. “But it looks like we still have to continue the treatment.”
“Good, good, good!” Elder Ning said three ‘good’ in a row. His calloused hand gently landed on Mo Chu’s shoulder and patted it twice. “Good, thank you!”
At this moment, Elder Ning’s terminal suddenly rang. Not long after receiving the video call, his expression suddenly changed. “What did you say?!”
“What’s wrong?” Ning Yiyuan hurriedly stood up and asked. While waiting for Elder Ning to answer, his terminal also rang. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Zuo Lin — the Qiao Family was preparing to escape to the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy!
What! Ning Yiyuan clenched his fists tightly, and his face instantly darkened… trying to escape? It will not be that easy!
