The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Chapter 418 Farewell

"Qing Ning, I know what you're worried about, but we can't let you protect us forever. We need to grow up too, and besides..."

Xie Yichen paused, raised his hand and rubbed Su Qingning's head, and said with a smile: "We, as brothers, also want to protect our sisters!"

Su Qingning raised her head and looked at the gentle yet determined expressions on each of their faces. She knew that she could no longer tell them not to go out and gain experience.

"Okay, I understand." Su Qingning nodded, agreeing to let them go out for training. But then, she changed the subject and said, "But you must protect yourselves and come back safely. Also, keep in touch."

"Don't worry, we are not vegetarians. Besides, Qilin and the others are here!" Qi Runyu comforted with a smile.

Su Qingning thought about it and felt that what Qi Runyu said made some sense. After all, Qilin and the others were ancient mythical beasts. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to protect their master.

However, there is a saying that goes, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen. Moreover, this time, the accident made them lose a close friend forever.

The next morning, Su Qingning and Mo Lintian saw Yue Bai, Xie Yichen and the other three off from Fengling City.

Ten miles outside Fengling City, the group said goodbye reluctantly. Xie Yichen looked at Su Qingning and Mo Lintian helplessly and said, "Okay, let's just drop them off here! Don't go any further."

"Yes, yes, don't send me off." Qi Runyu said with a smile: "Sister Qingning, you finally found your relatives, go back and spend more time with them! Don't worry, we will be fine."

The others nodded in agreement. Yang Youli, Tang Jinan and Yuebai also urged Su Qingning and Mo Lintian to go back quickly and not to see them off anymore.

If it were in the past, Su Qingning and Mo Lintian would definitely go with them to gain experience, but now, the Yun family is facing internal and external troubles, how can they leave at this time!

"Be careful and take care."

Mo Lintian patted Qi Runyu on the shoulder. He looked at the four close friends in front of him who had grown up with him, and his eyes revealed reluctance.

"Don't worry." Qi Runyu said with a smile: "Just wait for us to return from our training, and then you will look at us with new eyes!"

Mo Lintian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

As close friends who grew up together, Mo Lintian never doubted their abilities. He believed that they could do it.

"gone."

Xie Yichen and the other four waved their hands, then turned around and walked away with full confidence and determination.

Su Qingning and Mo Lintian silently watched their backs as they left. At this moment, they would never have thought that there were five people when they left, but only four people when they came back; of course, this was all a story for later.

After seeing off Xie Yichen and the other four, Su Qingning and Mo Lintian returned to the Yun family.

However, they never expected that after returning to the Yun family, they would face a second farewell.

"Ajin, you have to protect yourself. I'll be waiting for you at the Yun family."

As soon as they entered the hall, Su Qingning and Mo Lintian heard Yun Ruopiao's words. They were both stunned. Su Qingning blurted out, "Dad, are you leaving?"

Hearing the voice, Su Huaijin raised his head and saw his daughter and son-in-law walking towards him.

"Yeah." Su Huaijin nodded and said, "I just received news that there are unusual movements in the Temple. I'm worried that they will attack the City of Sin, so I have to return to the Xuanjian Sect to take charge."

"Now, as the lord of Sin City, I have the responsibility to protect everyone who follows me." Su Huaijin said, "No matter what the temple wants to do, it can't touch my people. I will never give the temple the opportunity to capture my citizens and bring them back to Sin City to lock them up."

The temple actually started to take action?!

Su Qingning's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that what Liu Nanjiang said was true. However, she didn't know whether the Temple's action this time was aimed at the City of Sin, the Yun Family, or both.

However, no matter which one it is, Su Qingning will not stop Su Huaijin's decision, because she knows that what her father said is right. As the city lord, it is natural that she has the responsibility to protect her citizens.

"Father, don't worry! I will protect mother and brother, and guard the Yun family." Su Qingning promised.

Hearing this, Su Huaijin smiled with relief. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Su Qingning's head, saying in a gentle tone, "My little Ning'er has grown up and can stand on her own. That's great."

After saying that, Su Huaijin looked at Mo Lintian who was standing beside Su Qingning. His expression immediately darkened. He snorted coldly and said in an unhappy tone, "Listen carefully, little brat! When I'm not around, protect Xiao Ning'er. If you dare to let her get hurt, I'll skin you alive when I come back!"

I have to say that Su Huaijin's threat was quite harsh. He was not afraid that after skinning Mo Lintian alive, he would make Su Qingning a widow.

"Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will definitely protect Xiao Ning'er." Mo Lintian promised.

The call of "father-in-law" almost broke Su Huaijin's defense. He glared at Mo Lintian angrily and subconsciously wanted to refute him, but he didn't know what he thought of, and in the end, he didn't correct Mo Lintian's address.

"Okay, I won't say any more to you. Just remember to protect my daughter."

As Su Huaijin spoke, he glared at Mo Lintian unhappily. Then, he turned to face Yun Jizhou, clasped his fists, bowed respectfully, and saluted.

"Father-in-law, I have something urgent to do and must leave first. Please forgive me if I am inconsiderate."

Yun Jizhou opened his mouth and wanted to scold her, saying that he was not his father-in-law. However, when he saw his daughter's pleading eyes, he softened his heart.

Whatever, that's all! After all, his precious daughter likes it!

"Yeah." Yun Jizhou first moved softly, and then said: "Go early and come back early, protect yourself."

"As for Ruo'er, Ning'er, and Yu'er, you don't have to worry. As long as this old man is still alive, I will definitely not let anyone hurt them."

Seeing that Yun Jizhou did not refute his address, Su Huaijin was overjoyed. He knew that this meant that his father-in-law recognized him.

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law."

Afterwards, Su Huaijin said goodbye to the others. Among them, although the three Yun Yimo brothers were unhappy with him as their brother-in-law, they had actually accepted him a long time ago. When saying goodbye, they also asked him to come back safely.

Su Huaijin agreed to all of them. Finally, when he was leaving, he looked at Su Qingyu deeply. He hoped that his son could say something to him, but he waited for a long time and Su Qingyu did not speak.

Su Huaijin felt a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He turned around dejectedly and prepared to leave.

However, just as he turned around, Su Qingyu's awkward voice came from behind him, "Dad, protect yourself and come back intact."

At that moment, Su Huaijin felt his eyes getting a little hot, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a happy arc. Then, he responded, "Okay."

……

On the third day after Su Huaijin left Fengling City, the Liu family welcomed a special guest.

In the study, Liu Boshan and Liu Yanshu respectfully saluted the man in the white cloak in front of them.

"I have met the Holy Son."

"Ah."

A man's voice sounded softly in the study. He raised his hand and took off the hood on his head, revealing his handsome and arrogant face. It was Ling Xiaohan, the Holy Son of the Temple.

"I wonder what instructions the Holy Son has for you?" Liu Boshan asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Ah!"

Ling Xiaohan let out a mocking laugh, and the look he gave Liu Boshan was filled with sarcasm and contempt.

"Why are you playing dumb, Patriarch Liu? Wasn't it your Liu family who took the initiative to contact the temple?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Boshan's expression froze. He laughed awkwardly twice and asked in a flattering tone, "What does the Saint Son mean?"

Ling Xiaohan glanced at him with disdain and said, "Put aside your hypocrisy. The Temple is not something you can manipulate, and this Saint Son is too lazy to play along with you."

After hearing Ling Xiaohan's words, Liu Boshan and Liu Yanshu became even more embarrassed. Although they were very unhappy with each other's arrogant attitude, they did not dare to show it at all.

"This Saint Son will speak directly. We have received the news that your Liu family sent to the Divine Temple. We in the Divine Temple know exactly what your Liu family wants." Ling Xiaohan spoke in a condescending tone, "We in the Divine Temple can give you what you want, but you must obey this Saint Son regarding the next steps."

Although Ling Xiaohan's attitude made Liu Boshan and Liu Yanshu very unhappy, the temple's promise still made them very happy.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Liu family will definitely follow the lead of the temple." Liu Boshan expressed his loyalty.

"Yeah." Ling Xiaohan nodded with satisfaction.

Next, the three of them conspired in the study for a long time. No one knew what they talked about, but it was most likely a plan against the Yun family.

……

Elsewhere, at the Yun family, Su Qingning pulled out the last silver needle, wiped it clean, and put it away. Then, she stood up, looked at Liu Nanjiang, and said, "This is the third treatment today. Your legs should have regained some strength. You can try to see if you can stand up."

Hearing this, Liu Nanjiang was delighted. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Yue, who was standing by, subconsciously wanted to step forward to help Liu Nanjiang up, but Liu Nanjiang waved his hand and said, "No need, I can do it myself."

After he finished speaking, Liu Nanjiang held the handle of the wheelchair and tried to stand up.

Time passed minute by minute, and Liu Nanjiang's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still did not give up.

Finally, after countless attempts, Liu Nanjiang's butt left the wheelchair and he stood up with trembling legs.

"I…I stood up."

Liu Nanjiang cheered excitedly, and Yue's face also showed surprise.

However, the next moment, Liu Nanjiang could no longer hold on. The moment his strength was gone, he fell into the wheelchair.

"It still doesn't work..."

The excitement on Liu Nanjiang's face faded, leaving only loneliness on his pale face, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

"The treatment isn't over yet. There's no need to be so anxious and disappointed and give up." Su Qingning comforted him as she packed her medicine box. "This is only the third treatment today. It's already great that you can stand up on your own. Besides, you've been waiting for more than 20 years. What's more, one or two months is enough?"

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Liu Nanjiang slowly regained consciousness. That's right! He'd been in a wheelchair for over twenty years. What difference would it make if he sat there for another month or two? Furthermore, after treatment, his legs had indeed improved. Just like today, hadn't he stood up? Even though he'd only stood up for a moment, it didn't change the fact that he'd stood up.

"Miss Su is right. I was too impatient." Liu Nanjiang smiled apologetically. He pinched his leg and said, "After so many years, my legs finally have some strength. Miss Su's medical skills are indeed excellent."

"Needless to say, my medical skills are naturally excellent." Su Qingning smiled proudly and said, "Young Master Liu, just rest assured and cooperate with my treatment! I promise that in a month at most, you will be able to stand up on your legs."

"Okay." Liu Nanjiang nodded with a smile and said gratefully, "Thank you for troubling Miss Su."

"It's not a problem. If Mr. Liu really thanks me, why not..." Su Qingning stopped packing the medicine box, her eyes rolled around, and she was obviously thinking of something.

Liu Nanjiang didn't understand what was going on and asked doubtfully, "Not as good as what?"

Su Qingning raised the corner of her mouth, turned her head and stared at Liu Nanjiang, which made Liu Nanjiang feel uneasy.

"Um..." Liu Nanjiang leaned back unconsciously, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why is Miss Su looking at me like that? But there's something on my face?"

As he spoke, Liu Nanjiang actually raised his hand and touched his face.

"Nothing, I just want to ask..." Su Qingning retracted her gaze and asked with a hint of gossip in her tone: "What is the relationship between Master Liu and my third cousin? Are you... a couple?"

As Su Qingning spoke, she raised her hands and crossed her thumbs in a greeting gesture.

"cough……"

Liu Nanjiang choked on his own saliva. He raised his head and looked at Su Qingning in astonishment. He really couldn't understand why she had such a ridiculous idea.

Yue, who was standing by, was also stunned by Su Qingning's bizarre question. Although she knew in her heart that Liu Nanjiang and Yun Yulin were just ordinary friends, she couldn't help but look at Liu Nanjiang with suspicion.

Noticing Yue's gaze, Liu Nanjiang's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He glanced at her lovingly and helplessly, then looked at Su Qingning and explained with a helpless smile: "Miss Su, you misunderstood. Brother Yulin and I are just ordinary friends."

"Oh, so that's it!" Su Qingning nodded, her tone full of disappointment, "It turns out I misunderstood."

"That's fine! Have a good rest, and I'll come back to treat you tomorrow."

After saying that, Su Qingning left with the medicine box, leaving Liu Nanjiang and Yue looking at each other helplessly.
