156: Ning Zhongze's suspicion

The next day, Ning Yuan once again received a four-fold Comprehension Ability bonus.

His Comprehension Ability reached 7 times the normal.

However, Ning Yuan looked regretful.

Because Ning Zhongze could no longer bear it.

With seven times the Comprehension Ability, it would take a considerable amount of time to integrate the Star Absorbing Skill into the Bei Ming Divine Skill.

There was a certain degree of difficulty.

Ning Yuan set his sights on Madam Wang.

"Mom, I've noticed that you and Dad have been very close lately, and you look several years younger," Yue Lingshan said in a low voice as she rode her horse next to Ning Zhongze.

Ning Zhongze's cheeks flushed slightly, then she glared at Yue Lingshan, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Na-na-na-boo-boo!"

Yue Lingshan made a face.

While Ning Yuan continued his journey to Fuzhou.

Zuo Lengchan's people had already set off earlier, heading straight for Fuzhou.

By distance, they would inevitably arrive in Fuzhou a step before Ning Yuan.

However, Ning Yuan did not know this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Only Lin Pingzhi was anxious.

Fortunately, he didn't stay long in Hangzhou, which made Lin Pingzhi secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mom, do you know what my father entrusted to Master before he died?" Lin Pingzhi asked, unable to contain his curiosity, as he approached Madam Wang.

Madam Wang shook her head, "At that time, your father was already severely injured and only had time to tell Headmaster Yue."

"Why do you ask this? Headmaster Yue would not covet our Lin family's possessions. If he were truly greedy, he wouldn't need to tell us about it; he could just take the things himself."

"Mom, you've misunderstood. How could I suspect Master? I'm just curious and a little impatient," Lin Pingzhi quickly said.

Madam Wang then breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "Pingzhi, in martial arts, you must not be eager for quick success, and never be impatient, otherwise you will only get half the results with twice the effort. And since you have acknowledged Mr. Yue as your Master, you should stay with Mr. Yue with a calm mind."

"Now that the Fuwei Escort Agency is destroyed and the Lin family annihilated, there's no need for you to return in the future. It would be better to stay on Mount Hua. If you perform exceptionally, you might even be taught the Zixia Divine Skill in the future."

Madam Wang couldn't help but reveal a hint, wanting to give Lin Pingzhi a goal and stabilize him.

"Zixia Divine Skill?"

Lin Pingzhi's breath hitched upon hearing this, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mom, don't joke. I'm just the youngest Disciple of Mount Hua; it wouldn't be my turn no matter how you rank it."

"Especially Senior Brother Linghu Chong, whose prestige within Mount Hua is second only to Master and Master's wife. The Zixia Divine Skill can only be Cultivated by the future Sect Head, and among the entire Mount Hua, only Senior Brother is qualified to Cultivate it."

Lin Pingzhi said, revealing a hint of envy.

He had heard much about the great name of the Zixia Divine Skill during this time, and naturally knew its power.

"Pingzhi, as long as you work hard, there's always hope."

Madam Wang couldn't say it directly, so she could only encourage Lin Pingzhi.

But Lin Pingzhi just shook his head and said no more, clearly not believing it.

This was not something that could be obtained through effort alone.

"Pingzhi, don't forget that Mom will also help you."

Seeing Lin Pingzhi like this, Madam Wang became anxious and quickly said.

Lin Pingzhi turned his head in surprise, then smiled bitterly, "Mom, this is an internal matter of Mount Hua. How could you help me? Let's continue our journey. If your son can obtain the family's secret art, he will certainly make a name for himself."

"I..."

Madam Wang was anxious, but in the end, she was speechless. She naturally couldn't say such a thing directly.

She just secretly resolved that Lin Pingzhi must be able to Cultivate the Zixia Divine Skill.

Madam Wang looked at Ning Yuan ahead, a certain thought stirring in her heart, making her cheeks flush slightly... That night.

Ning Zhongze refused to share a room.

Clearly, her injuries had not fully recovered.

She needed a few days of rest.

"Madam, you are too tender."

Ning Yuan said regretfully, and Ning Zhongze's cheeks were flushed, feeling embarrassed.

Yet, she felt guilty.

She felt her husband's ardor and hardness.

But she couldn't help him.

"Never mind, I'll go rest in the next room and not disturb you, Junior Sister."

Ning Yuan comforted Ning Zhongze for a few words and then left.

But this made Ning Zhongze feel even more guilty.

As a wife, being unable to satisfy her husband and fulfill her responsibilities naturally made Ning Zhongze feel strange.

Very ashamed.

"Alas!"

After a long time, Ning Zhongze sighed, but she couldn't do anything about such matters; her Physique was just like that.

"Senior Brother must be truly suffering, he still needs to endure."

"But ever since his last seclusion, Senior Brother has truly changed. Whether it's his personality, strength, or that aspect, there have been immense changes."

"If I hadn't been with him day and night, I would have thought Senior Brother had been replaced."

Ning Zhongze chuckled and shook her head, amused by her sudden thought... On the other side, Ning Yuan came to the courtyard.

When Madam Wang saw him, she immediately left her room and came behind Ning Yuan, whispering, "Mr. Yue, it seems Heroine Ning cannot satisfy you again. How about coming to my room to chat?"

Ning Yuan feigned hesitation for a moment, then followed her.

"Madam Wang."

As soon as he entered the room, Ning Yuan pulled her into his arms.

Madam Wang's breathing also quickened.

A moment later, just as Ning Yuan was about to untie Madam Wang's belt, Madam Wang suddenly came to her senses and pressed down on Ning Yuan's hand.

Ning Yuan looked down, and Madam Wang then said somewhat awkwardly, "I wonder if what Mr. Yue said last time about teaching Pingzhi the Zixia Divine Skill was true or false?"

Ning Yuan paused, then smiled, "Of course it's true. What, are you afraid I was deliberately deceiving you?"

Ning Yuan's face showed playfulness as he lifted Madam Wang's chin.

Madam Wang's gaze darted away, and she whispered, "How could I? I just thought Mr. Yue was..."

"It was just pillow talk, not to be taken seriously, right?"

Ning Yuan chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I, Yue, have always been a man of my word. What I promise, whether in or out of bed, I will never discount."

Hearing this, Madam Wang could no longer ask, and just silently released the hand that was blocking Ning Yuan.

As she felt a chill in front of her, two red clouds appeared on Madam Wang's face.

"Madam, tell me, who made you happier, me or Chief Biao Tou Lin?" Ning Yuan whispered into Madam Wang's ear.

Madam Wang's heart raced, "Mr. Yue, don't say such things."

"It seems I haven't captured Madam Wang's heart yet," Ning Yuan said with some regret.

"My heart only, only has my husband," Madam Wang said disjointedly.

But feeling the tightly clasped hands in front of her, Madam Wang's tone also lacked confidence.

Doing such a thing, yet saying she only loved Lin Zhennan, was somewhat shameless.

"It's alright. This further proves the deep affection between Madam and Lin Xiong, indicating that Madam is a good woman who values her chastity."

Ning Yuan gently laid her down on the bed and slightly thrust forward.

Madam Wang immediately widened her eyes, filled with shame.

With herself in this state, did she still value her chastity...?

However, Madam Wang soon couldn't think too much.

Her mind was a blank.

Early next morning.

A knock on the door sounded, and Lin Pingzhi's voice came from outside.

"Mom, it's time to leave."

Madam Wang, in a daze, suddenly heard Lin Pingzhi's voice and immediately woke up, a panicked expression on her face. However, remembering that she was in her room and the door was locked from the inside, she felt a little relieved, forced herself to calm down, and made her voice sound serene, "I know, you go feed the horses first."

"Okay, I'll go then."

Lin Pingzhi outside the door didn't think much of it.

Meanwhile, Ning Zhongze had arrived early at the adjacent room. Seeing the neat bed, showing no signs of having been slept in, she frowned and thought, "Strange, where did Senior Brother go?"

"Last night he said he was going to rest in the next room, didn't he? But looking at the bed, it doesn't look like anyone has slept in it?"

Suspicion flickered in Ning Zhongze's eyes.

After all, given how Senior Brother was last night, where else could he have gone?

And in Madam Wang's room.

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's retreating footsteps, Madam Wang breathed a long sigh of relief, but then felt a tightness in her chest.

"Mr. Yue, it's already bright, we need to leave. Any later and we'll be behind schedule," Madam Wang said hurriedly.

"It's fine, there's still time. As long as I don't appear, they can't leave." Ning Yuan hugged Madam Wang from behind.

Not long after.

And in the inn.

"Madam Wang hasn't come out either?" Ning Zhongze glanced around, frowned, and felt a subtle suspicion, then looked at Lin Pingzhi and asked.

In her heart, she couldn't help but make a connection.

After all, Senior Brother was missing, and now Madam Wang hadn't appeared either, leaving her no choice but to overthink.

"Reporting to Master's wife, I already greeted my mother this morning. She should still be getting ready," Lin Pingzhi stepped forward and quickly said.

However, Lin Pingzhi's unintentional words dispelled Ning Zhongze's suspicion.

"Indeed impossible, how could I suspect Senior Brother?" Ning Zhongze shook her head inwardly, smiling bitterly, "Since Lin Pingzhi saw Madam Wang, it means there's nothing wrong. But I really am, to even have such a thought. It seems lately I really have been..."

Soon after, Madam Wang was the first to walk out of the room, limping slightly.

"Madam Wang, what is this?" Ning Zhongze asked, looking at Madam Wang in confusion.

Madam Wang's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment and guilt, then she explained, "I accidentally sprained my ankle last night, which is why I was a bit late this morning."

"So that's it." Ning Zhongze realized, "I was wondering why I always used to see you so early, but today you're so late."

"Mom, are you alright?" At this moment, Lin Pingzhi also stepped forward to express his concern.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a day or two," Madam Wang reassured him.

"Strange, where did Senior Brother go today? Why hasn't he returned yet?" Ning Zhongze looked behind her, muttering in confusion.

Madam Wang beside her subtly turned her head, not daring to meet her gaze.

After all, just a moment ago, she was still in that man's arms.

And now she was still clenching... As soon as she thought of these things, Madam Wang felt her cheeks burn, finding it difficult to face Ning Zhongze.

After all, during this time, Ning Zhongze had been extremely kind to her, treating her like a close sister.

Yet she secretly... and the other's husband... Just as Madam Wang's mind was caught in an internal struggle, Ning Yuan appeared.

"Senior Brother, you are..." Seeing Ning Yuan, Ning Zhongze immediately asked.

"Nothing, I couldn't sleep last night, so I found a quiet place to meditate," Ning Yuan said casually.

But these words made Ning Zhongze feel even more guilty. She naturally knew the reason why.

However, with her daughter and several Disciples present, Ning Zhongze couldn't say much.

She merely said to Ning Yuan, "Senior Brother, Madam Wang sprained her ankle today, so she might have trouble riding a horse."

"Mm." Ning Yuan nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Pingzhi, "Go find a carriage."

Soon after, the group had breakfast and continued their journey.

Madam Wang and Ning Zhongze sat together in the carriage.

Both actually for one reason.

Ning Zhongze wanted her injuries to heal faster, so she could help Senior Brother.

So that Senior Brother wouldn't be so embarrassed again, with nowhere to vent.

Facing Ning Zhongze, who was within arm's reach, Madam Wang felt extremely awkward inside.

And Ning Yuan, at this moment, opened his attribute panel again... "Madam Wang, are your feet alright?" Ning Zhongze asked with concern.

Madam Wang immediately shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Ning, I'm fine, it'll be better in a day or two."

"That's good. This time returning to Fuzhou, you must take care of yourself. The dead cannot be brought back to life after all. If everything has been destroyed, Madam Wang, always remember that Mount Hua is also your home," Ning Zhongze comforted her thoughtfully.

This, however, made Madam Wang's guilt even stronger, but she couldn't say it aloud. She just lowered her head, "Sister, don't worry, I will be strong, after all, there's still Pingzhi."

"Lin Pingzhi is a promising young talent, and Senior Brother thinks highly of him, so don't worry," Ning Zhongze patted Madam Wang's shoulder.

Madam Wang's body stiffened slightly, then she reacted and relaxed again.

"Strange, why do I smell something..." At this moment, Ning Zhongze raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion on her face.

Madam Wang's heart trembled at the words. She quickly pulled open the curtain and explained, "Perhaps the space is too small, and it's a bit stuffy."

"That makes sense." Ning Zhongze smiled and didn't think much more of it.

Drowsy all day!!! So difficult!!!
