607: Chapter 596: Qin Lan’er 607: Chapter 596: Qin Lan’er The two chatted alone for a long time, about half an hour later, Qian Wujun called Qian Xiaorou and Qian Nengde, who were outside, to come in.
Qian Xiaorou had cleared her head with the cool breeze outside and was now sober.
She gradually began to recall the things Ning Fan had said to her father in the hall earlier, and her perceptions of Ning Fan started to shift.
At Qian Wujun’s call, Qian Xiaorou followed Qian Nengde into the hall, first seeing Qian Wujun with a smile on his face and then Ning Fan, who was resting with his eyes closed.
“Xiaorou, give God Doctor Ning a ride back,” Qian Wujun said.
If Qian Nengde had said that, Qian Xiaorou would have definitely refused, but it was Qian Wujun who spoke, and faced with her beloved grandfather’s request, she didn’t know how to say no.
At a loss for words, all she could do was nod her head, and she walked out of the Qian Family’s gate with Ning Fan.
In the car, she asked in a whisper near Ning Fan’s ear, “What did my grandfather say to you…”
What was their private conversation all about?
Qian Xiaorou was very curious.
But Ning Fan acted as if he had not heard her at all, continuing to rest with his eyes closed, while the Qian Family’s driver focused on driving and did not notice the commotion in the back.
Seeing Ning Fan not responding, Qian Xiaorou became agitated and asked again, “What exactly did my grandfather say to you, tell me!”
She kept asking repeatedly, but Ning Fan still paid no attention to her, as if he couldn’t hear her voice at all.
Qian Xiaorou became thoroughly exasperated, nearly scratching out in frustration.
Seeing this girl about to pounce like a tiger, Ning Fan wholly gave in and said with a hint of exasperation in his voice, “It’s nothing, he just hopes I’d court you, that’s all.”
Qian Xiaorou was stunned, sitting next to Ning Fan, unable to utter a word for a long time.
After the car had driven further away, Qian Xiaorou suddenly exclaimed, “Impossible!”
After snapping out of it, she shook her head repeatedly, insisting that it could not be possible, that her grandfather would never say such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding.
“Are you lying to me?”
Qian Xiaorou glared menacingly at Ning Fan, her expression fierce.
Ning Fan blinked, wearing a troubled look, “If I keep quiet, you become irritated, and if I spill the beans, you don’t believe me.
What on earth do you want from me?”
Could it really be the case?
“If you don’t believe it, you can ask your grandfather, ask him if it’s really his hope that I court you, win you over.
If not, then come and find me later!”
Ning Fan irresponsibly looked at Qian Xiaorou, spreading his hands, a face full of helplessness.
Half-convinced and half-doubtful, Qian Xiaorou felt a surge of anger at the notion that her family members all wanted her to become involved with Ning Fan, without considering her feelings – to her, this was completely unfair!
“Hmph, don’t be so smug, I will have no relations with you, absolutely none!”
Qian Xiaorou declared firmly, her expression resolute.
Seeing her expression, Ning Fan also smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, even if you transformed into a flower, you wouldn’t catch my fancy.”
With that, Ning Fan sneered and told the driver to stop the car, stepping out with a cold and distant look on his face.
Watching Ning Fan’s cold and aloof retreating figure, Qian Xiaorou clenched her teeth in frustration, yelling at his back from the car, “Jerk!”
…
Ning Fan, who got off the car midway, soon arrived home as the night deepened.
Seeing Xu Ruolan still working downstairs, he treaded lightly, sneaking back to his room.
He locked the door and then took out the Nine Souls Jade.
As soon as he took out the Nine Souls Jade, Ning Fan witnessed a bizarre scene.
“Eh!”
The fifth piece of the Nine Souls Jade was actually merging with the other pieces!
Whirl—
A crystal-clear purple light emanated from the Nine Souls Jade, and the five fused pieces hovered above Ning Fan’s head, spinning continuously like a crystal.
Ning Fan watched this in amazement, his eyes widening in disbelief; it was the first time he had seen such an effect.
While he was still astonished, the purple light shot straight into Ning Fan’s eyes.
Ning Fan stood frozen, positioned beneath the Nine Souls Jade, his eyes gradually becoming hollow as countless images flashed through them.
As the purple light entered Ning Fan’s eyes, sporadic images began surfacing in his mind.
“You have to run, don’t worry about me!”
It was his own voice; Ning Fan saw himself surrounded by a group of ancient martial artists at the peak of a cliff.
A hand seemed to be grasping his, and he desperately wanted to look back and see the face of the person, but he just couldn’t at the moment.
The people surrounding them were all highly skilled ancient martial artists.
After suffering severe injuries in a fierce battle and seeing those oddly shaped fighters charging at him, just as a sharp dagger was swung towards his neck, a figure appeared in front of Ning Fan.
Ning Fan’s eyes bulged, and his expression in reality became ferocious.
The bloodied figure was exceptionally beautiful—a woman.
Ning Fan heard himself continuously calling out to her.
“Lan’er, Lan’er!!!”
Qin Lan’er—Ning Fan recalled the name, and his head began to throb with pain.
He wildly gasped for air, clutching his head and repeatedly shouting her name.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!
Lan’er!
Lan’er!”
His eyes bloodshot, Ning Fan clutched his head in pain, desperately searching his mind for more memories of Qin Lan’er.
However, after the scene of her death ended, he could not find any other memories.
The purple light from the Nine Souls Jade that struck his eyes only brought him fragmented glimpses, failing to restore all of Ning Fan’s memories.
“Why, why, why!!!”
Why were there only these fragments?
Ning Fan needed more.
His face twisted with agony, he punched the wall and then started roaring in his room.
“Lan’er!
Lan’er!
Lan’er!”
Where could she be?
Could she really be dead?
Ning Fan’s eyes glowed with a beast-like madness, the redness in his eyes chilling to behold.
“Lan’er!
Lan’er!
Why?!”
Ning Fan bellowed in pain.
Downstairs, Xu Ruolan had already heard the noise.
She hurried up and started pounding on the door.
“Ning Fan, are you alright?!”
“Ah ah ah, why?!
Lan’er!
Lan’er!”
Inside the room, Ning Fan couldn’t hear Xu Ruolan’s voice; he kept screaming frantically.
Xu Ruolan immediately ran to get the spare key.
After opening the door, her heart pained at the sight.
