Chapter 1766: Chapter 1759: Rong Ning Meets the Xiao Family

Rong Yue obediently closed her mouth. For her, being quiet was even scarier than going hungry, but in order to leave Beiling City, she tried hard not to speak for four or five days during the journey.

After half a month, they finally stepped into the borders of the Great Cheng Dynasty. Rong Yue opened her mouth wide, taking a deep breath of fresh air, and shouted, “Brother, the Great Cheng Dynasty is truly different from our Beiling City! There’s no snow everywhere, and the scenery is so beautiful!”

The streets were bustling with people, dressed in vibrant and fresh colors. There were rivers running through the city, with countless exquisite bridges. Even the street vendors were selling all sorts of novel items she had never seen in Beiling City.

Rong Yue’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she was about to jump out of the carriage to dive into the crowd.

“Ow ow ah!”

Rong Ning grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back into the carriage.

Rong Yue, her face flushed with anger, pounded on Rong Ning furiously, “Brother, what are you doing! We’ve left Beiling City and arrived in the Great Cheng Dynasty. Why won’t you let me get off the carriage! I’m about to go crazy!”

It’s been more than half a month!

Father and mother couldn’t possibly chase after them; she finally had a chance to be free, yet he was still holding her back!

Rong Ning stared at her sternly, “Keep quiet.”

Rong Yue: “…”

She was very angry but no match for her brother.

Besides, every time Rong Ning said these two words, there was danger nearby, and unless she didn’t value her life, she had to obediently listen.

Rong Yue felt wronged as she leaned over on the carriage, peeping quietly past Rong Ning’s left side to look outside.

The scene outside was indeed grand; no wonder her brother was being cautious!

Rong Ning also tightened the poison pouch at his waist.

But after observing for a while, she found that those sternly dressed guards with swords were not here to surround them; they were protecting someone!

The people with them immediately pulled up a curtain on the street, preventing anyone from clearly seeing the people coming out of the shop, only catching glimpses of their silhouettes.

Rong Yue, like Rong Ning, had good eyesight, and they both saw that the people behind the curtain looked like a family: one sitting in a wheelchair, one standing next to the wheelchair, and another one holding the arm of the person by the wheelchair, slightly shorter than the others.

It seemed to be a family of three, with the man as the head of the family in the wheelchair, his wife behind him, and the wife holding their daughter’s arm.

They looked like a very simple family.

However, Rong Ning slightly narrowed his eyes; he could sense that there was a hidden presence beside the man in the wheelchair, someone with exceptionally high martial arts skills, unfathomable, and one of his guards.

A person who travels with such a highly skilled guard and with such a grand entourage is certainly no ordinary person!

In the city of Hangzhou, besides Lu Mian, the governor of Jiangnan, the only other possibility would be the Xiao family.

“Brother, it’s the Linglong Pendant!” Rong Ning heard a crisp sound, his eyes sparkling as he tugged on Rong Ning’s sleeve, “Last year, the top treasure of the Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures, sold for a million gold, was finally bought by the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu.”

Rong Yue had longed for the Linglong Pendant for a long time. It was rumored to be an ancient immortal artifact, granting its owner a lifelong love and companionship, never to part.

At the time, she begged Father desperately to send someone to the Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures to buy it for her, but her father didn’t buy it, saying she was a princess, and that the best marriage would naturally come without needing such rubbish.
