Lan Ling ran wildly all the way and arrived outside the Earl’s mansion. He did not have time to use the main gate and directly climbed over the wall to enter the mansion.
The family warriors guarding the Earl’s mansion immediately rushed over. When they saw Lan Ling and Ye Jingyu at first glance, they cried out in surprise and joy, then knelt neatly on the ground and said, “We greet the master.”
After Suo Long passed away, Suo Lun had become their master.
Lan Ling did not have time to respond to them. He rushed straight into his elder sister Suo Ningbing’s small courtyard. Ye Jingyu did not know what had happened and also followed closely behind.
“Bang, bang, bang…” Lan Ling knocked open several doors in succession and entered his sister’s room.
After rushing in, the scene he saw almost made Lan Ling’s soul fly out of his body and his mind explode.
His elder sister Suo Ningbing lay quietly on the bed, holding a porcelain bottle in her hand, with a smile of relief and peace at the corner of her mouth.
“Elder sister…” Lan Ling rushed over almost like a madman.
Ye Jingyu, on the other hand, felt ice cold all over her body and an overwhelming fear surged up instantly. Young miss Suo Ningbing was their mistress on the surface, but in reality she was no different from a blood sister. From childhood, because Ye Jingyu had high martial arts skills, she had always been protecting the young miss.
In Ye Jingyu’s heart, Suo Ningbing held exactly the same weight as Ye Jingfeng.
If Suo Ningbing died, it would be no different from the sky collapsing for her.
…
Lan Ling hugged his elder sister Suo Ningbing and checked her breathing at the first moment. There was none.
He listened to her heart again, and it had almost stopped beating. He touched her carotid artery, and there was no pulse either.
Lan Ling felt that the entire world had collapsed and been destroyed.
In his heart surged infinite darkness and infinite hatred. Hatred for the entire world. The destructive aura that surged up instantly made his entire eyes look extremely terrifying.
“Master, do not panic. This is a type of poison that suppresses the heartbeat. After taking it, it directly locks the heart’s beating, allowing a person to die without any pain.” The demon star said, “As long as the time since taking the poison is not too long, she can still be saved.”
“How to save her? How to save her?” Lan Ling asked as if grasping at a life saving straw.
“Cut open your own blood vessel, then cut open your elder sister’s blood vessel, and let your blood merge together. My energy tentacles can then enter the depths of her heart through the blood,解除 the poison’s binding on the heart, and restart the heartbeat.” The demon star said.
Before its words had even finished, Lan Ling immediately took out a dagger, cut a slash on his own wrist, and then carefully cut a slash on his elder sister’s wrist as well.
Then he let the blood of the two people merge completely together.
The demon star’s energy immediately used the blood as a medium and quickly drilled into Suo Ningbing’s heart, rapidly tearing apart all the medicinal energy that was locking her heart. Then it fiercely released dragon power, activating Suo Ningbing’s bloodline dragon power and activating her heart.
Once, twice, three times, four times…
The demon star continuously released energy and kept trying to activate Suo Ningbing’s bloodline dragon power and her heart.
Of course it hoped for Lan Ling to completely fall into demonhood, but not now. He was still too weak at present. And if Suo Ningbing died at this time, Lan Ling would definitely collapse completely.
Nine times, ten times…
Finally, Suo Ningbing’s heart gradually began to beat again, but she still had no breath.
Lan Ling immediately kissed his elder sister’s small mouth, then forcefully sucked and performed artificial respiration with force.
Again and again, after a full dozen times or more.
With a soft moan, Suo Ningbing faintly opened her beautiful eyes. When she saw Lan Ling’s face, she released boundless tenderness.
“Little Ling, elder sister sees you again. It is so good to be able to be together with you even underground.”
Seeing his elder sister come back from the dead, Lan Ling was almost moved to tears with joy. He hugged her tightly and said, “Elder sister, you are not dead. You will not die. Even the god of death cannot take you away from my hands.”
Suo Ningbing’s gaze gradually became clear. Then she saw Ye Jingyu behind Lan Ling. She immediately sat up fiercely, reached out to touch Lan Ling’s face, and said in a trembling voice, “Little brother, you are not dead. You are not dead?”
“Of course I am not dead.” Lan Ling said, “I said I would protect you for my entire life. How could I possibly die?”
Instantly Suo Ningbing felt so happy that she was almost about to explode. Tears poured out like a flood. The entire world seemed to have gained warmth and colour again.
The feeling of regaining something after losing it was really too good, too good.
Lan Ling fiercely grabbed her fragrant shoulders, pulled back a few inches, stared into her beautiful eyes, and said word by word, “Suo Ningbing, remember this for me. In the future, unless you personally see me dead with your own eyes, you must never do any foolish thing again, do you understand?”
Suo Ningbing nodded desperately, then once again could not wait to hug Lan Ling tightly and said, “As long as you are fine, elder sister will be very strong.”
At this time, the two maids who had rushed in from behind saw this scene and were somewhat stunned.
This… this did not seem like the affection between blood siblings.
“What are you looking at? Get out.” Ye Jingyu said.
“Yes.” The two maids immediately lowered their heads and retreated.
…
“Elder sister, who came to tell you that I had already died?” Lan Ling asked in a cold voice, “Was it Zhi Ning?”
Suo Ningbing instinctively wanted to say yes, but she was afraid that Lan Ling would immediately go to Zhi Ning for revenge and encounter danger. She immediately shook her head and said, “No, I had a dream, a very, very real dream. I dreamed that you were… harmed by a bad woman.”
Lan Ling saw through his elder sister’s lie at a glance.
It must have been that bitch Zhi Ning. Lan Ling said in his heart, “Zhi Ning, I will definitely take revenge. One day, I will definitely rape you first and then kill you. I definitely will!”
At this time, Ye Jingyu said, “Little Lun, the young miss is fine now. I will stay here to take care of her. You go and sleep well, and prepare for tomorrow’s major exam.”
Lan Ling shook his head and said, “No need. I will just hold elder sister like this and sleep.”
Ye Jingyu opened her mouth, wanting to persuade him further, but in the end she said nothing.
And so, Lan Ling and Suo Ningbing snuggled together on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Jingyu sat cross legged on the ground. She was not guarding the two of them, but rather afraid that some rumours would spread.
…
The next day, the most important moment arrived. The Royal City Academy’s annual graduation major exam was about to begin.
In the evening, the first exam would be held.
All the students were about to end their six years of study at the Royal City Academy. For the noble students, they were finally liberated and could finally return to their territories to continue living in luxury and debauchery. Because these six years had been unbearably苦苦 obligatory education for them.
For the commoner children, the graduation major exam was completely a moment that decided their fate. It was just like six years ago when they took the Royal City Academy’s entrance major exam.
The Royal City Academy was the only chance for commoner children to change their fate, and the only path for them to advance into the ruling class.
Six years ago, entering the Royal City Academy had decided that they would bid farewell to ordinary life and become the elite class of the kingdom.
And the graduation major exam after six years of study would decide which position they would take up and determine their future prospects.
Therefore, for the noble students, the so called graduation major exam was completely just going through the motions. For the commoner students, however, it was the moment that decided their future.
However, when it came to the importance of this graduation major exam, no one could compare to Suo Lun.
Because this was the moment that decided Suo Lun’s fate, and also the moment that decided the fate of the Suo family. Of course, in everyone’s eyes, Suo Lun’s tragic fate had already become a foregone conclusion, and the destruction of the Suo family had also become a foregone conclusion.
Suo Lun, who had still been last place a few months ago, could not possibly pass the graduation major exam no matter what, let alone enter the top ten and obtain the noble warrior medal.
He was destined not to inherit the title. The Suo family’s master of Tianshui City was destined to have its lineage cut off.
…
Early in the morning before dawn, Lan Ling got up, washed and finished, ate breakfast, and then went to the Yuhua Pavilion at the first moment.
Of course he did not go to the Yuhua Pavilion to call for girls, but for another important purpose. Although dawn was almost here and the girls had all gone to rest, his arrival still caused the entire Yuhua Pavilion to boil over. Almost all the girls got up from bed to welcome this ancestor of the pleasure quarters.
Because in the few months he had been away, the Royal City Nineteen Beauties had launched three more, still with unprecedented styles and unprecedented sexiness.
Every one packaged by her had seen their value skyrocket. Even Ye Little Cat from four months ago still had guests squeezing in every day. Even at the price of five gold coins, the queue of guests had already extended to next year.
Immediately afterwards, Lan Ling went directly to the Silver Casino secretly controlled by Zhi Ning.
The boss of this casino had once cheated Suo Lun and had then been killed by Lan Ling using a scheme.
Now, another boss had been changed. This boss was also Zhi Ning’s lackey.
The moment he saw Lan Ling, he was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and immediately sent someone to report to the princess’s mansion.
“Young Master Suo Lun, what instructions do you have for coming to my casino?” The casino boss stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
“I have come to open a gambling game.” Lan Ling said.
“Gambling on what?” The casino boss asked.
Lan Ling said, “We will talk about it when your master arrives.”
…
Zhi Ning cherished her appearance very much, so she needed sufficient sleep every day. Although the sky was already bright at this time, she was still sleeping soundly like a crabapple blossom.
At this moment, her trusted eunuch Li Zhu entered the room without his feet touching the ground and said through the silk curtain, “Your Highness the Princess, Suo Lun is not dead. He has returned and is at the Silver Casino.”
There was first a moment of silence inside, because Zhi Ning was still in her dreams, and the voice seemed to come from the dream realm.
Then, a moment later, her face changed dramatically. She sat up directly from the bed completely naked.
“What did you say? Say it again?” Zhi Ning said in a trembling voice.
The eunuch Li Zhu immediately lowered his gaze, not daring to look into the silk curtain at all, and said, “Suo Lun is not dead. He has returned and is at the Silver Casino. He said he wants to open a gambling game with you.”
Zhi Ning’s breathing suddenly became rapid. Every time she heard this name, her lips would feel a hidden pain. While panting heavily, her snow white chest looked even more shockingly alluring.
How could Suo Lun not be dead? How could he possibly not be dead? The Black Widow Mengtuoluo could not possibly fail.
Almost the first thought was to order the eunuch Li Zhu in front of her to immediately go out and kill Suo Lun.
But before the order left her mouth, she took it back. Suo Lun could not die now, especially not in the royal city.
“Tell him to wait. I will go see him immediately.” Zhi Ning said indifferently.
“Yes.” The eunuch Li Zhu left without his feet touching the ground.
Zhi Ning lifted the soft goose down quilt and walked down from the bed completely naked. Looking at her own incomparably wonderful jade body in the mirror, she said coldly, “Suo Lun, I want to see what exactly you want to do.”
