822: Chapter 811: Return to Zang City 822: Chapter 811: Return to Zang City The first completed Genetic Potion showed its effects on Ouyang Feifei.
For Ning Fan, this could be considered good news.
Just how strong Ouyang Feifei would become still had to wait until she fully recovered her strength to be determined.
Out of the five Genetic Potions, after Ouyang Feifei injected one, four remained.
Ning Fan entrusted these four to Ouyang Feifei, allowing her to decide whom to use them on, which showed the extent of Ning Fan’s trust in her.
This trust brought Ouyang Feifei great joy, further solidifying her resolve to silently support Ning Fan in the background.
After confirming that there were no significant issues with Ouyang Feifei’s body, Ning Fan then went to Teng Huayang’s cell.
“Several days without seeing you, and you’ve grown quite despondent!”
Looking at the defeated expression of Teng Huayang in the cell, Ning Fan couldn’t help but remark.
It was likely due to concerns about his sister Teng Feiyue and the matters of the family; Teng Huayang had been having a hard time recently, spending day and night thinking about the Yunteng Family, his sister, and Ning Fan.
These issues surrounded him, causing him considerable mental burden, especially when he thought about the huge upheaval likely happening in the Yunteng Family.
His sister Teng Feiyue’s life was in Ning Fan’s hands, and then there was the predicament surrounding his father Teng Zhuhai…
Overwhelmed by worry on all fronts, Teng Huayang ultimately descended into this current state of malaise.
Today, Ning Fan finally arrived again.
Teng Huayang still remembered the words Ning Fan had spoken three days ago: he would be returning to the Yunteng Family today.
Thinking about this matter, Teng Huayang didn’t feel any joy or excitement.
There was no anticipation; his heart was filled only with worry.
He didn’t know what state the Yunteng Family would be in now.
Yet, from some of the details Ning Fan had revealed, Teng Huayang could still infer a few things.
But those guesses were ones Teng Huayang dared not trust—or perhaps refused to believe.
“Don’t say I didn’t give you time to tidy up.
Follow me out; I’ll take you to spruce yourself up.
Surely you don’t want to return looking like this, do you?”
Ning Fan opened the cell door and grinned at Teng Huayang inside.
To Teng Huayang, that smile was utterly vile.
But at this point—with Ning Fan holding all the power and him utterly helpless—what else could he do?
Thinking self-mockingly, Teng Huayang could only pray that when he returned, his family would still be intact.
If anything happened to either Teng Feiyue or Teng Zhuhai, it would be something Teng Huayang could not bear.
Following Ning Fan out of the cell, Teng Huayang realized that Ning Fan wasn’t taking him out of the cell block but rather to another part of the prison.
“Where are you taking me?”
Teng Huayang asked instinctively, looking around nervously.
“I’ve been thinking—there’s no way I can let you return alone.
Teng Feiyue still needs some help, doesn’t she…”
Ning Fan smirked meaningfully, his gaze appearing unfathomable.
Teng Huayang couldn’t discern Ning Fan’s intentions at all.
Not being able to figure out Ning Fan’s motives, Teng Huayang refrained from dwelling on it further.
Instead, he followed quietly behind Ning Fan.
Eventually, Ning Fan led Teng Huayang to the space where Teng Dong and the others were being held.
“Young Master!”
The three individuals had already noticed someone approaching.
At first, when they saw it was Ning Fan, their expressions turned grim.
But when their eyes landed on Teng Huayang trailing behind Ning Fan, all of them froze, involuntarily calling out.
Clap—Clap—Clap—
Before Teng Huayang even had a chance to exchange pleasantries with Teng Dong and the others, Ning Fan clapped his hands, addressing Teng Huayang and his followers.
“What a touching scene this is—but don’t you dare ignore me!”
Ning Fan’s voice pulled them back to the harsh realities of the present.
After all, they were still Ning Fan’s captives, without the leisure to focus on sentimental happenings.
“Come now, Young Master Teng Huayang, pick one to take with you.”
Ning Fan knocked on the cell door, signaling Teng Huayang to start his selection.
Inside the cell, however, Teng Dong and the other two were totally puzzled.
They still hadn’t grasped what was happening.
What did he mean by “pick one”?
At this moment, Teng Huayang was at a loss as well.
He looked toward the three men in the cell, unsure how to make a decision.
Ideally, he wanted to take all three of them with him.
But such thoughts would remain mere wishes; it was impossible.
Ning Fan wouldn’t permit it.
Being allowed to bring even one person was already the best he could hope for; Teng Huayang didn’t dare to ask for more.
Moreover, if what Ning Fan said three days ago turned out to be true, then once he returned, he’d still be Ning Fan’s prisoner—or else his sister’s life would be forfeit.
“What’s the matter, Young Master Teng Huayang?
Can’t decide?
Want me to help you out?”
Ning Fan asked with curiosity, though his voice bore a hint of impatience.
To Ning Fan, it didn’t matter who Teng Huayang took with him.
Currently, Teng Feiyue was presiding over the Yunteng Family with only Teng Bei by her side.
To be honest, Ning Fan wasn’t entirely reassured about that.
Of course, he wasn’t concerned about any harm befalling Teng Feiyue.
His worry was that his painstaking effort to secure allegiance might fail, and if someone else gained influence over her, it would be a loss for Ning Fan.
This was precisely why Ning Fan decided to let Teng Huayang take someone back—to aid Teng Feiyue.
With the addition of another Object-Manipulating Realm mid-stage expert, things would naturally go more smoothly for Teng Feiyue.
“Teng Zhong, come back with me.”
Teng Huayang drew a deep breath and ultimately directed his gaze toward Teng Zhong.
It was Teng Zhong he had initially brought out—logically, it was also him who should bring Teng Zhong back.
Hence, he chose Teng Zhong.
As for Teng Dong and Teng Xi, though he felt apologetic toward them, Teng Huayang had no other options.
Not being selected didn’t trouble Teng Dong and Teng Xi much.
Instead, they were perplexed by what Ning Fan was planning.
What was his purpose in this “pick-one” scenario?
“Go back?
Go back where?” Teng Zhong asked instinctively.
Teng Huayang shook his head and gave a bitter laugh.
“Back to Zang City!”
“Back to Zang City?” Teng Zhong’s face was filled with astonishment.
He unconsciously glanced at Ning Fan.
Noticing Teng Zhong’s gaze, Ning Fan smiled faintly and said, “That’s right; I’m letting the two of you go back.
Isn’t that wonderful?
Unexpected, right?”
There was no joy—but plenty of surprise.
Teng Zhong and the others genuinely doubted their ears.
Ning Fan was actually saying he’d let Teng Huayang and Teng Zhong go back?
They couldn’t believe this was a good thing.
Given Ning Fan’s fearsome reputation, they were certain he must have cooked up some sinister scheme.
Yet under the current circumstances, they had no choice.
Ning Fan opened the cell door, and the others could only watch helplessly as Teng Zhong and Teng Huayang left.
“Oh, wait—I almost forgot.
I need to unlock your acupoints.
But no rush; it can wait for a moment.”
Ning Fan suddenly turned to Teng Zhong and remarked.
