Chapter 84: The Effects of Ancient Delicacy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When he was with Zhu Ying, Wang Jing could eat the ancient delicacies personally cooked by Zhu Ying every day. One time, Wang Jing accidentally used his mental strength, but he didn’t expect that not only did he not have a splitting headache like before, but his mental strength level also improved.

Wang Jing was overjoyed. After a few more training sessions, he realized that he had really recovered and he could use his mental strength as he pleased like before. He sent a letter to his father, who was far away in the capital.

The father was a little happy after he received his son’s letter. After all, he had personally nurtured his son. If not for his clansmen forcing him, he wouldn’t have given up on this son.

Soon, the Wei family, who had the technology to produce mental strength potions, learned of this news. The Wei family’s head rushed over to meet the Wang family’s head. After a night of long discussion, the two families reached an agreement. The next day, the Wei family’s head and the Wang family’s eldest son personally boarded the spaceship to Planet Mu.

At this moment, Wang Jing, who had received the news from his father, was still immersed in joy. He imagined that he could return to the army again and rely on his own efforts to make a career before marrying Zhu Ying. Then, the two of them would live happily ever after.

Unfortunately, Wang Jing’s wish didn’t come true.

The elder brother who came to pick him up only took him away. At first, he didn’t insist on traveling with Zhu Ying, but his elder brother said in a serious tone that there was an urgent matter in the army and he had to return to the capital planet with him to carry out the mission first. He repeatedly promised that he would get the Wei family head to help escort Zhu Ying back to the capital planet. Only then did he reluctantly follow his elder brother onto the spaceship.

Zou Xu looked at Liao Ning as he said, “Later on, Wang Jing returned to the Wang family’s ancestral residence after completing his mission, but his father told him that Zhu Ying had left without saying goodbye and only left a breakup letter. Wang Jing failed to find Zhu Ying, so he married the second daughter of the Wei family at his family’s request.”

“So you’re telling me this story to tell me that the Wei family is related to my grandma’s disappearance.” Liao Ning said calmly as she took a sip of tea.

Zou Xu was very dissatisfied with her calm expression and that she wasn’t as shocked as she should have been after finding out about this secret.

He was a little impatient and stopped telling stories to Liao Ning. He simply told her bluntly, “The ancient delicacies developed by your grandma have the effect of treating mental strength riots. Moreover, the treatment effect is even better than that of the Wei family’s mental strength potion.”

This was an outcome that Liao Ning had not expected before. She thought that the Wei family only wanted establish marital ties with the Wang family, so they used a scheme to make her grandma willing to live the rest of her life incognito. She didn’t expect them to be so deeply involved.

She couldn’t help but recall that the netizens watching the live-stream had occasionally mentioned a long time ago that ever since they started learning how to cook delicacies from her, their mental strength riots had gradually decreased, and the number of times they used the mental strength potion had also gradually decreased.

No wonder the Wei family suddenly noticed her and that assassin said those words. It turned out that she had really blocked someone’s path to wealth.

Hearing Liao Ning’s sneer, Zou Xu knew that Liao Ning had already guessed it, but she refused to tell him her true guess.

Zou Xu sighed. “You’re right, but this isn’t the main reason I wanted to tell you about this. There are many comments on the Internet now. Ever since you learned how to make delicacies from you, many people have started to reduce their use of mental strength potions. Therefore, the Wei family has set their sights on you this time because your appearance in the near future will become an obstacle for them to use the mental strength potion to get rich. After discovering that you’re Zhu Ying’s descendant, they couldn’t wait to attack you.”

Zhou Ling found it strange. “The Su family is in charge of the intelligence of the entire alliance. Su Tang searched for Zhu Ying for her entire life but couldn’t find her whereabouts. How did you know so clearly that Liao Ning was Zhu Ying’s descendant right from the beginning?

Liao Ning was also very curious about this.

“In order to get rid of you, the Wei family naturally told me everything. However, a portion of it was my own deduction. After I investigated further, my deduction was confirmed to be correct.”

Zou Xu sneered. “As for why the Su family didn’t find out, it’s because the Wang and Wei families had been secretly meddling. Unless Su Tang investigated in a specific direction like me back then, it was impossible to deduce the truth based on these fragmented information..”
