Chapter 96 The only nephew

Ning Xi said, "Wang Ji once ran to Yu Ning Palace to find you."

Wang Ji ran to Yuning Palace twice.Ningxi still remembered the scene when he saw Wang Ji. He ran directly to his father's office and held his sword against his father's neck.

"Tell me where Lin Yi is?"

His father naturally didn't know where Lin Yi was going.But Wang Ji's sword is not a joke, he lowered his head and thought, "I really don't know, but I will find a way to help you find out."

Wang Ji drew back her sword, but the sharp blade cut off a lock of Ning Zhuang's hair, which seemed to be unintentional, but it also seemed to be a warning.

Lin Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Then, he didn't do anything to your father, did he?"

Ningxi smiled and narrowed her eyes, "My father is fine, but Wang Ji "laid" on my house for half a month before leaving. That half month was really uncomfortable."

Lin Yi secretly glanced at Wang Ji, "That's really embarrassing."

Ning Xi waved her hand, "Alright, since my father has given up the idea of ​​recruiting him as his son-in-law."

The wait is excruciating.After Ningxi sneaked to the place where Wang Ji temporarily stayed in Yuning Palace, she saw him practicing sword.

His swordsmanship is strong and powerful, but Ning Xi only noticed his sword-holding hand—as thin as a fallen leaf, as thin as a stick, different from the young man whose fingers were as tender as fat many years ago.

Wang Ji saw him and put down her sword, "Is there any news about Lin Yi?"

Ningxi shook her head and said words of relief, "Not yet, but father has tried his best to find it. Your sword skills are getting better and better."

Wang Ji stared blankly at the sword in her hand, "It's a pity he can't see it."

Ning Xi's heart shook, and she was a little startled by Wang Ji's desolate tone, "Look at what you said, it's not like he's really gone, you'll find him sooner or later."

Wang Ji smiled coldly, "I don't know, he chose to leave me and die with him...Which one do I prefer?"

When Wang Ji came to Yu Ning Palace for the second time, Ning Xi was taken aback by his appearance.It seemed that he hadn't washed himself for several months, his fair skin was covered by dust, and his clothes were full of dirt.The man standing next to him was handsome and clean, which formed a sharp contrast with him.

Ning Xi exaggerated her expression, "Where did you go? How did you become like this?"

Wang Ji obviously didn't want to say too much, but simply explained the reason, "I'm going to practice, I want to become a fairy."

"Have you found Lin Yi?"

Wang Ji pointed to the sky, "He's up there, I have to find him."

The delicate and petite man next to him interjected, "Brother, where is your palace master? We have an urgent matter with him."

Only then did Ningxi take another look at Liu Ruyun, "Who are you?"

Hearing the man next to Wang Ji, Lin Yi blinked his eyes a few times, and asked calmly, "Who is that man next to Wang Ji?"

Ningxi said, "It is said that he is a friend who cultivated with him, and it is said that he shared the troubles and sorrows together."

After finishing speaking, Ningxi glanced at "Liu Ruyun" next to her, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt familiar.He suddenly remembered, isn't this person Wang Ji's friend? "Who is this?"

"I'm Liu Ruyun."

Lin Yi added, "This is the top one at the Immortal Selection Fair."

Ningxi remembered that person's name, it was "Liu Ruyun", and a smile appeared on her face, "Oh? Congratulations on realizing your dream of becoming an immortal. How is Wang Ji?"

Wang Ji shook her head, "We haven't contacted for a long time, so I don't know."

Ning Xi sincerely wanted to find out about Wang Ji's whereabouts, but she was unwilling to be put off by "Liu Ruyun" like this, and wanted to say something more.

Lin Yi said suddenly, "If you don't drink it, the tea will be cold."

Ningxi saw Lin Yi secretly shook his head towards herself, signaling to herself not to ask any more questions.Although Ningxi was surprised that Lin Yi didn't want to know Wang Ji's whereabouts, she still kept her mouth shut.

"Speaking of which, the tea in your cup seems to be a bit cold." Wang Ji stood up and touched the wall of the teacup held in Lin Yi's hand. His cold fingers touched Lin Yi's, which made Lin Yi shrink back.

Ningxi felt that the atmosphere between the two people in front of him was a bit strange, so he took a sip of tea and interjected, "My hands are a little cold, help me change a cup."

Wang Ji didn't seem to hear what he said, she took the quilt away from Lin Yi's hand and went to the kitchen to replace it with hot fresh tea.

Ningxi smacked her mouth, looked at Lin Yi, and then at Wang Ji's leaving back, her heart trembled, Lin Yi wouldn't take advantage of Wang Ji's absence to have a good time with his friend "Liu Ruyun", right?

The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.No wonder "Liu Ruyun" kept silent when mentioning his former friends, no wonder Lin Yi didn't allow himself to mention Wang Ji in front of "Liu Ruyun".

He sighed softly, poor Wang Ji, she still doesn't know where she is cultivating desperately, longing to go to heaven to visit her dear uncle.

At this moment, Wang Ji, who was pouring water in the kitchen, suddenly sneezed.

Snowflakes kept falling from the window outside the house, and Lin Yi realized that it was snowing outside.Ningxi looked at Lin Yi's leg, "How did your leg hurt?"

Lin Yi said, "One time I lost my mind while walking and stepped on the ground. I fell so hard that I couldn't stand up."

"What makes you think so intently that you can't see the path under your feet?"

Lin Yi glanced at the kitchen, Wang Ji was still putting tea in her cup, the way he bent over to do things coincided with that child many years ago.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I can't remember."

Ningxi knew that he didn't want to say it, and she didn't force it.He looked at the falling snowflakes outside the door, "Shall we go outside and have a look?"

Ningxi carefully pushed Lin Yi out the door, and at the same time, Wang Ji in the kitchen ran up to Lin Yi as if she had eyes behind her back, and put a big umbrella on his head.

"Uncle, be careful of catching a cold."

Lin Yi's hand on the armrest trembled, "What did you call me?"

"It's nothing." Wang Ji quickly denied it. He put the umbrella in Ningxi's hand and went back to the house.

Ning Xi tightened her hand on the umbrella, "Why would he call you uncle too, you have so many nephews." Ning Xi felt a little unworthy for Wang Ji.

"From beginning to end, there is only one person who calls me uncle."

Lin Yi looked at the man in the room, he always did this, silently shielding himself from all difficulties and dangers.

Lin Yi suddenly said to Ning Xi, "Put the umbrella away."

"What?" Ningxi was a little surprised.

"Put the umbrella away." Lin Yi said again, hoping that the men in the room could hear him.

Before Ning Xi put away the umbrella, the moment Lin Yi's head was about to touch the icy snowflakes, the man inside the room finally came out. He covered a small piece of sky above Lin Yi with his coat, firm and persistent.
