Chapter 435 – Betrayal

The three maids stuck out their tongues . One of them said, “Ever since miss woke up, she has been sitting in front of the window . Is she waiting for something?”

Another maid smiled . “Have you forgotten? Today is the seventh day . The pills that Grandmaster Ning left were finished yesterday . He should be arriving soon . ”

“Wah! Are you saying that the miss is waiting for Grandmaster Ning?”

Ning Liang’s face flushed hot red . “If you keep on spouting nonsense, just see if I don’t tear out your mouth!”

“Miss, nooo!”

Amidst the giggles and laughter, a sudden voice rang out from the front courtyard . “Grandmaster Ning is here!”

Ning Liang’s heart began to race . As she thought about how he would speak to her uncle before he came over, her heart stabilized a little . She couldn’t help but look at her charming appearance in the mirror . She subconsciously wondered – would Ning Qin think she was attractive when he saw her?

There was the sound of voices followed by footsteps . A black-robed figure appeared in her line of sight . As if sensing her gaze, the black-robed figure paused for a moment and looked up, their gazes colliding in the air .

Qin Yu nodded in greeting and Ning Liang nodded in response . Her heart began to speed up on its own once more .

The maid had already opened the door . Qin Yu and Yuntao walked in while the others remained outside .

“That’s fine . The rest of you can leave . ” Ning Yuntao ordered .

The three maids bowed respectfully and withdrew .

Qin Yu looked around . This time, he could clearly see Ning Liang and he couldn’t help but be startled by her growing beauty . After she had regained her vigor, she was even more dazzling than before . But he recovered in an instant and smiled, saying, “Miss Ning has recovered well . In this condition, it’s much more likely that your cold poison will be successfully dispelled . ”

Ning Liang didn’t dare to meet his eyes . She lowered her head and bowed . “I will have to trouble Grand Authority Ning!!”

Concerning Qin Yu’s strength, only Ning Yuntao and Ning Ling knew about it . They were afraid that if this were revealed, it would cause even more troubles . And since Ning Qin was purposefully remaining so low key, the two of them didn’t dare to casually mention it .

Qin Yu smiled . “That’s enough; there isn’t any need to speak unnecessary words . I will first inspect Miss Ning’s current condition . ” He looked around and said, “Miss Ning, it will be best if you lie down on the bed . If everything is alright, I will immediately begin dispelling the cold poison . ”

Ning Liang nodded obediently . She took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, then pulled back her sleeves .

Qin Yu put two fingers on her wrist . The instant he touched her, Ning Liang tensed up . However, he thought she was only anxious and casually spoke some comforting words . “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong . ”

A moment later, Qin Yu opened his eyes, a happy look on his face . “Everything is very good . Miss Ning’s body has recovered much more than I imagined . She should be able to withstand the process of dispelling the cold poison . ”

Ning Yuntao was overjoyed . “That’s too wonderful!” His expression filled with excitement . “Liangliang, you must recover as soon as possible . If the old master knows of this, he will surely be happy . ”

Ning Liang nodded . Her voice seemed sad, “Thank you, Grand Authority Ning!”

Qin Yu patted her hand . He had subconsciously considered himself Ning Ling’s dao companion, so this girl should call him brother-in-law . Since Qin Yu regarded her as a junior, he didn’t realize that the actions he took were a bit liberal . “Make sure there aren’t any major changes in your state of mind . The process of dispelling the cold poison will be painful . You need to endure it as best as you can . It will quickly pass . ”

He turned and said, “Fellow daoist Ning, I will now help Miss Ning catalyze the medicinal efficacy in her body . There cannot be any disturbances during this process, so please wait on the other side of the door during the treatment . ”

Ning Yuntao looked at the silent Ning Liang for a moment before happily saying, “Of course, of course! I will go outside and wait . Grand Authority Ning, there is no need to worry . Just take the treatment slowly and steadily . ”

As these words fell into Ning Liang’s ears, her face blushed red .

There was the sound of the door opening and closing .

There were only two people left inside . Qin Yu had a solemn expression . He said in a deep voice, “Miss Ning, you must remember that no matter how uncomfortable you feel within, you cannot resist . ”

These words instantly broke Ning Liang out from her daydream . She took a deep breath and said, “Grand Authority Ning, please rest assured . I will simply consider myself as already having died . ”

Qin Yu revealed an appreciative look . This girl really was smart . He took out a wax pill . With a little bit of strength from his fingers, the wax broke apart to reveal the crimson pill beneath . As soon as this pill appeared, circles of heat energy were emitted, swirling around the room . The air in the room instantly turned dry, even making one feel a bit parched .

“Eat it!”

Ning Liang swallowed the pill . She immediately coughed out loud . Her body trembled and pain crossed her face .

Qin Yu didn’t dare to be careless . He grabbed onto her hands and magic power surged out like billowing water, forcing the medicinal efficacy of the Blazing Sun Integration Pill to revolve through her meridians . With his magic power as the barrier, he could control the dosage of medicine according to the situation and how much cold poison was deposited in her meridians . This was all to prevent the cold poison from erupting and causing a backlash .

Ning Liang’s complexion relaxed a little but she still bit down tightly on her lips, not making a single sound .

Qin Yu untensed . Ning Liang’s ability to withstand pain was much higher than he had imagined . This would allow him to concentrate on removing the cold poison in her body .

Ning Yuntao stood guard outside the room . As time passed, his thoughts began to tumble and he couldn’t help but worry . But as he thought about Qin Yu’s instructions, no matter how worried or restless he was, he could only endure it and wait outside .

The three maids, attendant, and other cultivators stood outside in the yard . They were all silent with dignified complexions .

Two hours, four hours, six hours…

When the sun began falling in the west and a layer of yellow covered the earth, there was a creak as the door finally opened and Qin Yu stepped out .

“Grandmaster Ning!” Ning Yuntao said with a flustered expression .

Qin Yu nodded . “Everything went smoothly . In one month at most, Miss Ning’s cold poison will be completely resolved . ” Although his voice was calm, he couldn’t conceal his exhaustion .

Ning Yuntao was wild with joy . “Thank you, grandmaster! Thank you, grandmaster!”

In the distance, the Ning Family cultivators who saw his expression all cheered in excitement!

Zong Yingming stood in a corner, his face full of shock . This Ning Qin was actually able to dispel his cousin’s cold poison! But to him, this actually wasn’t good news at all . He squeezed out a smile as he gripped his fists beneath his robe . His eyes flashed with a bit of gloominess but also wariness .

“The initial portion of Miss Ning’s cold poison has already been melted away . However, her body is still weak right now and she has fallen asleep . In a moment have the maids go in and help her wash and tidy up . I will return again tomorrow . ” Qin Yu lifted a hand and rubbed his temples before turning and leaving .

Ning Yuntao was filled with gratitude . “Grandmaster must be exhausted! Men, hurry and help grandmaster return . Stand guard at grandmaster’s entrance . If he has a need for anything, act accordingly!”

Qin Yu waved his hand . “You can stay here and take care of Miss Ning . ”

“Yes . ” After Qin Yu left, Ning Yuntao hurried into the room . There was a cloying stench in the air . Ning Liang was unconscious on the bed and her skin was covered with a layer of black filth .

Too occupied to care about the smell, Ning Yuntao hurried forward to inspect her and found that Ning Liang’s inner cold poison had reduced by a great deal . He could no longer suppress himself .

“Hurry, hurry! Immediately help the miss wash . Make sure your movements are light and gentle; do not disturb her rest!”

Three maids entered the room and helped Ning Liang wash herself . Ning Yuntao walked out and closed the door, a bright smile on his face .

The attendant cupped his hands together . “Second Old Master, should I immediately inform the family?”

Ning Yuntao hesitated for a moment . “Not for the time being . We need to
