"These things were taken by the mistress..."

The shopkeeper was so frightened by Ning Siyue's cold eyes that he couldn't speak anymore.

"Mrs. Cheng was in charge of the shop for the eldest lady, so all the property went to Mrs. Cheng.

We are just small shopkeepers, we dare not covet our master's things!" The shopkeeper lowered his head.

“Go tell the other shopkeepers that from now on all monthly bills should be sent to the Zhenguo Mansion.

If you don't understand, I will ask my grandfather to come to your house and ask for it back from you.

Do you know?" Ning Siyue said.

"But Madam Cheng..." the shopkeeper asked hesitantly.

"She was 'keeping' and 'managing' it for me, but now that I'm grown up, I don't need her anymore.

If she asks, let her go talk to my grandfather!" Ning Siyue looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Yes... yes, yes." The shopkeeper could only lower his head and dared not ask any more questions.

"I want to go to the warehouse and take a look!" Ning Siyue said.

"Please in, young lady!" The shopkeeper hurriedly led the way.

“You don’t have to go, just pick ten of the items on this list for me.

Pack up all the spiritual medicines above the second level and take them away for me." Ning Siyue said.

"This... yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper just raised his head, looked at Ning Siyue's eyes and instantly took back his words.

Ning Siyue didn't hesitate and took away all the things in the warehouse.

After walking out, he put the things prepared by the shopkeeper into the storage ring.

“I’ll take the things inside and go find Ye Dan to get the spirit stones from her to buy more goods.

If she doesn't take it, I will ask her to take out the spirit stones that she should have given me before and use them first.

If you can't get it, tell her that I will go to the palace to ask the Queen for justice!" Ning Siyue said.

"Yes, yes, yes. Take care, young lady!" The shopkeeper did not dare to refute.

The shopkeeper looked at the receding figure. He hadn't seen it for many years. Just a moment ago, he thought it was the young lady who came back.

The shopkeeper turned around and sighed, hoping that the fire at the city gate would not affect innocent people.

After Ning Siyue left, she went straight to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

The reason for going to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was not because of a quarrel, but because Ning Siyue really needed to go to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. After all, the next thing required an environment where no one would disturb her.

“Hi, Tiger!

How did you get out?"

A white tiger head suddenly appeared on the eaves above.

Ning Siyue recognized that it was her grandfather's natal contracted beast, the Holy Light Tiger, a seventh-level spiritual beast.

Ning Shan is the number one person in Qingxuan Country. In addition to Ning Shan's own cultivation level of great perfection in foundation building, he also has a contracted beast with even higher cultivation level.

Originally, the Holy Light Tiger would have followed Ning Siyue when Ning Shan was in seclusion, but this time was different from other times, as Ning Shan wanted to break through to the Golden Core stage, the Holy Light Tiger had to stay to protect him.

The Holy Light Tiger walked out of the door and rubbed Ning Siyue affectionately.

"Hehe, it's itchy. Let's go in." Ning Siyue touched the tiger's head and walked in.

"How's grandpa? He still hasn't come out?" Ning Siyue asked.

Holy Light Tiger nodded.

Ning Siyue brought the Holy Light Tiger to the place where Ning Shan was in seclusion and took a look. The Holy Light Tiger also circled around Ning Siyue, as if asking why it hadn't come to see it for so long.

Suddenly, Zhongli Mao appeared beside him.

The Holy Light Tiger instantly looked at Zhongli Mao with vigilance, in a state of combat readiness.

"Da Hu, it's okay, this is my master!" Ning Siyue explained quickly.

Even so, the Holy Light Tiger was still very wary of this person with a strange aura.

"Oh no, there's poisonous gas!" Zhong Limao pulled Ning Siyue away.

A number of golden needles suddenly appeared in front of Zhongli Mao, and wherever the golden needles went, a black gas soon emerged.

"What's going on? Dahu!" Ning Siyue asked anxiously.

The Holy Light Tiger roared, its voice a little hurried.

Ning Siyue sighed secretly, could it be that a master has come from Qingxuan Country?

There is no one in the Zhenguo Mansion except the Duke of Zhenguo.

When Ning Shan was still a general, he took his whole family to guard the border.

Later, after his wife died on the battlefield, and until his daughter got married, Ning Shan took off his armor and returned to the capital.

Ning Shan was used to being alone, so he lived alone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, with only a Holy Light Tiger to keep him company.

They are all monks and have no other family members. They don't need so-called servants for many things, so they live alone.

However, if there is no internal trouble, then the poison can only come from outside.

But the Holy Light Tiger had been guarding Ning Shan, so how could he not notice this abnormality?

"Go in and take a look!"

Ning Siyue saw Zhong Limao accumulate the poison in a ball of light and then swallow it.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the secret room, I saw Ning Shan lying on the ground.

However, Ning Shan seemed to be asleep...

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

Ning Siyue called out twice, but Ning Shan seemed to be half asleep, with no sign of waking up.

The Holy Light Tiger roared twice, but Ning Shan did not react at all.

"Let me see!" Zhong Limao quickly took Ning Shan's pulse.

"How is it?" Ning Siyue asked anxiously.

"Is it a curse?" Zhongli Mao immediately used golden needles to seal several of Ning Shan's major acupoints.

"Another curse? The same one on me?" Ning Siyue was puzzled.

"Disciple, I am a spirit, not a human, so I cannot remove the curse for your grandfather here.

This curse is much more powerful than yours. You were just a kid who hadn't practiced yet, but your grandfather was the best master in Qingxuan Country!" Zhong Limao frowned.

"What should we do then?" Ning Siyue nodded slightly.

“First, I will go to that place. I am a book spirit. In the world of books, I can better control my spiritual power.

But even I haven't figured out what that place is. After all, it's a magical space that has never appeared before. If he...

Second, I will possess you and use your body to remove the curse on your grandfather.

But your body is really weak. Even if you can accept me possessing you with all your heart and soul, I am afraid your spiritual power will not be able to lift the curse for him!" Zhong Limao said in embarrassment.

"That means I can only choose the first option."

Ning Siyue also understood Zhong Limao's concerns. Killing people for treasures was not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation. Even fathers and sons, or even brothers killing each other, was common.

“That’s right. I don’t know if your grandfather can hold on until your body recovers, but I’m afraid your cultivation level will have to rise a level higher.

His cultivation level is not even a little bit inferior to yours!

After all, he is in a coma now, and I am afraid his body will reject all external spiritual power, and it will be difficult to control. "Zhong Limao nodded.

"Then let's go in, without further delay." Ning Siyue didn't think much, all that came to her mind was the kindness this old man had shown to the original owner.

"Then this tiger..." Zhongli Mao looked at the Holy Light Tiger with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Da Hu, I'm going to take grandpa to get treatment. Don't be nervous, I'll take you with me!" Ning Siyue turned and looked at Shengguanghu.
