Elder Rong bit his lips and said: ”So what if I make a move?” As he spoke, he took two steps forward, his body already standing in front of Ruo Lan.
Waves of fiery hot breath attacked Ruo Lan. She felt her heart inexplicably tremble, and her body felt slightly hot.
”The little gongzi is the head of the Rong family, I am only a weak girl. If you want to fight, how could I defend against you?”
Seeing Ruo Lan's appearance, Rong Guan only felt a wave of evil fire rush to his head. However, when her gaze landed on Ruo Lan, it was as if she was looking into his eyes.
Only now did Rong Guan calm down.
He snorted and turned back into the house.
In the evening, Zhuge Ning sent someone over to say that Madam Hua wanted to give a banquet.
During the banquet, other than Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Shang, Zhuge Quan was also seated. The entire restaurant was filled with people and was bustling with noise and excitement.
When Ruo Lan looked closely at the side, she found that Zhuge Ning and Bi Xiashan's Zhuge Yu were 80% similar, looking just like an underage version of Zhuge Yu. This discovery surprised Ruo Lan.
The party lasted until midnight.
Ruo Lan and Rao Feng slowly walked back into the courtyard. Before they could hastily close the courtyard door, they saw a maid quickly walking over.
”Miss Xiao, Miss Ning, Young Master Shang, please come over.”
Ruo Lan was startled: ”Lead the way.”
In a short while, the two of them passed through a gravel path and arrived at Zhuge Ning's residence.
With just a glance at the courtyard, Ruo Lan faintly understood what was going on.
This courtyard was not bad. The vegetation was exquisite, and the construction was perfect. Many of the houses in the house were not as big as this one. However, the decorations here looked almost exactly the same as the one on Ruo Lan's side.
”You see it?” Rong Guan said with a chuckle.
Roland rolled his eyes at him. The events of the afternoon were not light.
”I'm not an idiot, why can't I tell?”
As he was speaking, a figure slowly walked out.
”Young Master Hua, Lady Ruo Lan, Zhuge Shang greets you. Please come in. ” Zhuge smiled.
Ruo Lan also smiled faintly. She looked around before softly speaking, ”This guest room is really not bad …”
Zhuge Shang froze, a wry smile appearing on his face. ”Miss Ruo Lan is indeed a kind person …” I can see it too. ”
The Zhuge family was the second greatest family in the sky. Although they were slightly supported to defend the Rong family, they still occupied the second place. When a clan grew big, it was naturally the clumps of the branches, the leaves, and the other branches that flourished.
Zhuge Shang and Zhuge Ning's side also had a side branch.
However, before the passing of the previous head of the family, he left a message for Zhuge Ning to inherit the position of the Zhuge family. Naturally, no one dared to disobey his words, but as soon as he let out his breath, someone immediately jumped out.
They said that the disciples from other branches could not take over the family's power.
Naturally, Zhuge Shang wasn't alone or without help. There were still a few elders helping him out. After all, everyone knew what kind of trash Zhuge Quan was. No one wanted the Zhuge family to decline.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that they would use the ancient rules to choose the heir to the family head position. The so called ancient style would fall on the Wind and Moon Glazed Pearls. Many years ago, the head of the Zhuge family wasn't selected by the previous head. It was decided by his disciples through the Wind, Moon, and Glazed Glass Beads. Whoever could control the Wind and Moon Glazed Pearl to the maximum would be the head of the Zhuge family.
That was the reason for the incident.
However, no matter what, Zhuge Ning was chosen as the successor by the previous generation Patriarch. Now that he had actually brought her to this guest room, his intentions were very clear.
After entering the yard, Zhuge Ning was already waiting in front of the house with the wheelchair.
”Why did you come out?” Zhuge Shang hurriedly walked over, his heart aching.
Zhuge Ning smiled, ”How can I sit in my room when Young Master Hua and Sister Ruo Lan are visiting? The two of you, please come in. ”
After entering the room, the maidservant served tea and snacks.
Then, Zhuge Ning smiled and said, ”Are the two of you satisfied with tonight's banquet?”
Ruo Lan chuckled. ”Of course I'm satisfied. Madam Hua is also very hospitable.”
Zhuge Shang let out a soft snort and said: ”Of course you have to be friendly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the sword attack that broke the golden cauldron at the gates of the Sun City that day!”
Ruo Lan burst into laughter. There really wasn't anyone fooling around in this mansion.
Madam Hua was naturally able to find out about the encounters between Zhonglan and Zhuge Shang through some channels. She even knew about the treaty between them.
Since it wasn't a life-or-death friendship but a mere transaction, he wasn't afraid. Madam Hua was also a shrewd person. Rather than leaving these two experts at Zhuge Ning's side, it was better to bring them to his side.
As for the Wind Moon Glazed Glass Realm, so what if he gave it to them? It was just a dead thing anyway.
After muttering to herself irresolutely, Ruo Lan replied, ”To be honest, I didn't hide it from Miss Ning. I've studied in Jade Peak Range before and also met a girl with the surname of Zhuge.” Saying so, she gave a slight smile. ”That young lady is very similar to you, Miss Ning.”
Zhuge Shang's face changed instantly after hearing what he said.
Ruo Lan looked at him coldly from the side, not saying a word.
”I didn't expect Sister Ruo Lan to be from the same sect as Zhuge Yu.” Zhuge Ning shook his head and laughed.
Zhuge Shang called out in a low voice, ”Ning, son …”
Zhuge Ning said indifferently, ”What is there to avoid here and now?” Could it be that big brother is going to rely on those elders of the clan to block the golden cauldron for us? Since I chose to believe in Miss Ruo Lan and Young Master Hua, I don't need to hold back. ”She looked at Ruo Lan and said word by word,” Zhuge Yu and I are of the same father and mother, and brother Ge Shang and I are of the same mother and father. In that case, Miss Ruo Lan should understand, right? ”
