Chapter 149: Go Big or Go Small
Nangong Shenzong's mission is to refine elixirs to save the people. His elixirs are so powerful that they can cure all diseases of the world.
Miao Gong is good at using Gu, which can both save people and harm them.
For hundreds of years, the two palaces have been united in strength, and no one dares to disrespect them. In the eyes of the world, they are respected like gods.
Although Nangong Shenzong and Miao Palace belong to different ethnic groups, due to hundreds of years of inheritance, every Nangong clan leader must marry a spiritual girl or spiritual son of Miao Palace as their partner, and the two palaces have long been as close as a family.
Nangong Min was supposed to inherit the position of clan leader several years ago and exchange wedding invitations with Miao Gong at the same time. However, he suddenly disappeared on the eve of the succession and his life or death is still unknown.
For several years, the two palaces had been searching for Nangong Min to no avail, and the Nangong Divine Sect could not be without a leader for long, so under the management of the old lady and the elders of the Nangong Divine Sect, Nangong Ce succeeded to the throne as the new leader of the Nangong Divine Sect.
However, when Nangong Ce succeeded to the throne, Bai Ling'er, the spirit girl of the Miao Palace, refused to exchange wedding invitations with him according to the traditional tradition of the two palaces.
The reason was that Bai Ling'er insisted on waiting for Nangong Min to come back, and this move moved the old lady of Nangong Shenzong to tears.
Over the years, Bai Ling'er has spent half of her time living in Nangong Shenzong to accompany the old lady, waiting for Nangong Min to return.
When others heard this, they looked puzzled: "Since the 100-year agreement has been made, why doesn't Bai Ling'er want to marry Nangong Ce? Although Nangong Ce is not the son of the previous sect master, he is also the successor of the Nangong Divine Sect. It is such an honor to be the wife of the sect master of the Nangong Divine Sect."
The man smiled and said, "You don't know that although Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er belong to two different palaces, the two families have been friends for generations since their ancestors got married."
"Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er are childhood sweethearts. They both know that they will get married after they grow up and enjoy the happiness of the two palaces. They often see each other since they were young, and Bai Ling'er follows Nangong Min wherever he goes. Therefore, how could Bai Ling'er marry someone else?"
Everyone asked, "I wonder what Bai Ling'er looks like?"
The man glanced at the person asking the question and said.
"Is there anything else that can make her a spiritual girl? I heard that Bai Ling'er was as beautiful as a flower bud, and she was also very good at making poison. Most importantly, she was not only loved by the people in the Miao Palace, but also loved by the old lady of the Nangong Divine Sect. So the two palaces followed Bai Ling'er's wishes. If she didn't want to marry, then she wouldn't marry."
The people around couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at it this way, if the two palaces can't find Nangong Min, then Bai Ling'er's best years of life will be wasted in vain? But speaking of it, Bai Ling'er is indeed a person of affection and righteousness."
Everyone was discussing the secrets of Nangong Shenzong and Miao Gong, however, they did not notice anything unusual about the two customers sitting at the next table.
Mu Jin took a sip of tea and ate a bite of pastry. As she ate, she suddenly felt that the pastry that she had thought was delicious just now suddenly became bland and difficult to swallow.
Nangong Min beside her had his body stiff, and he would secretly glance at her face from time to time, but his own face was pale. The pine nuts that he had just placed in his palm and was about to peel for Mu Jin had been crushed into powder by him without him knowing when.
Mu Jin threw the snack that she was about to put into her mouth back onto the plate. She suddenly stood up and smiled at Nangong Min.
"I'm full and a little sleepy. Let's find an inn to rest."
Nangong Ming looked at Mu Jin's calm face and suddenly panicked. He said to Mu Jin with difficulty and anxiety: "Ah Jin, listen to my explanation~"
Mu Jin knew that Nangong Min was eager to explain to her, but at the moment she was a little annoyed. She didn't know what she was angry about, but at the moment, she didn't want to continue listening to the matter between Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er.
Finally, Mu Jin sighed and said, "This is not a good place to talk about this. Let's go find an inn and rest first."
Nangong Min had been tense all the time, without relaxing for a moment. After hearing what Mu Jin said, he could only nod.
Seeing Mu Jin getting ready to leave, Nangong Min hurried to follow. He was like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid that the adults would be angry and would not want him anymore.
Soon, the two found a good inn in the downtown area and booked two high-quality guest rooms.
Nangong Min sent Mu Jin back to the guest room. When he was about to step into Mu Jin's room, he was stopped by Mu Jin.
"I'm tired. Let's talk after we have rested." Mu Jin said this and was about to close the door, but was held back by Nangong Min.
"Ah Jin~"
Mu Jin held the door of the guest room with both hands, and when he looked at Nangong Min's eyes which were slightly red due to nervousness, he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. He hated to see him like that the most.
Mu Jin lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and finally asked what she had wanted to ask on the way from the teahouse to here.
"So there really is a Miao Palace spirit girl named Bai Ling'er. She is not only your cousin, but also your~."
Mu Jin paused and said, "Fiancée?"
Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin and opened his mouth, wanting to make an explanation, but after trying a few times, no sound came out of his mouth. He didn't know where to start.
Mu Jin understood: "If you haven't figured out how to say it, then wait until we have rested and then tell me."
"I want you to tell me this in person, instead of letting me hear it from somewhere else, do you understand?"
After Mu Jin finished speaking, she was about to close the door, but no matter how hard she tried, the door that was held by Nangong Min did not move at all.
Mu Jin pushed hard a few more times, but Nangong Min still didn't let go.
Mu Jin laughed angrily. She lost her patience and said to Nangong Min, "Let go!"
Although the two words were not spoken in a strong tone, they seemed to be extremely powerful, causing Nangong Min to lose all his strength.
The moment Nangong Min let go, the door slammed shut.
When Mu Jin returned to the guest room, she saw a large bathtub filled with bath water and flowers. This was what Nangong Min asked the waiter to prepare when she just entered the inn. She knew that Mu Jin liked to take a bath.
Mu Jin planned to put all her thoughts behind her. She quickly stripped off her clothes, stepped into the bathtub, and slowly sat in it. Her whole body relaxed, and she felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Mu Jin closed her eyes tightly, as soft as a puddle of mud. In just a moment, she thought about what those people in the teahouse said. She opened her eyes again, wondering how Nangong Min would explain things to her tonight.
Analysis: Nangong Min has been deceiving himself all along? Or analysis: she is the boss and Bai Ling'er is the subordinate?
Mu Jin couldn't help but laugh at herself for her wild thoughts. She felt that she was really going backwards as she grew older. She actually wanted to share a husband with someone else?
This thousand-year-old iron tree has finally had the chance to bloom, it won’t wither so soon.
Mu Jinru was thinking about this, but she couldn't open her eyes because of the hot steam from the bath water. After just a moment, she fell asleep.
