“I’m sorry, the master is not here right now. ” The captain of the guards said without even thinking.

“Not here? Where did he go?” Leng ruoxue asked gloomily.

“He went to see an old friend. I don’t know when he’ll be back.” When the captain of the guards heard Leng ruoxue’s words, although he was still skeptical, he had heard that the old ancestor had indeed taken in a goddaughter. Moreover, it seemed that the old ancestor doted on that goddaughter very much. Hence, even though he had yet to confirm Leng ruoxue’s identity, his attitude was much better.

“Then, is Ning Shan here?” Leng ruoxue asked again.

“You know Ning Shan? He’s not here either. ” The captain of the guards quickly said. Since he knew Ning Shan, then Leng ruoxue’s identity should be close to the mark. After all, Ning Shan was one of the old Grand Madame’s most trusted people. Even though he was the captain of the guards in the old Grand Madame’s forbidden area, he was not as favored as Ning Shan in front of the old Grand Madame.

“Where’s Ning Yan?” Leng ruoxue continued to ask.

“Ning Yan’s here.” The guard Captain said. After hearing the two names, the leader of the Men in Black didn’t dare to delay and quickly sent someone to invite Ning Yan.

Ning Yan was also a favorite of the old ancestor. Although his position in the forbidden area was only a housekeeper, his status in the ning clan was almost the same as an elder, and sometimes even more honorable than an elder.

Not long after, Ning Yan arrived in front of Leng ruoxue, surrounded by guards. When he saw Leng ruoxue, he was shocked.””Young miss Leng, you, why have you come to the divine realm?”

“Head butler, is this really the goddaughter that my ancestor acknowledged?” The captain of the guards asked in a low voice, and Ning Yan nodded his head slightly. The master often thought of this young lady! If he knew that she had come to the divine realm, he would definitely be very happy.

“It’s been a long time, Ning Yan,” When Leng ruoxue saw Ning Yan, she smiled and said,”it’s good that I finally met someone I know.”

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and invite miss Leng in. Oh right, send someone to inform the family head that miss Leng is here. ” Ning Yan quickly ordered the captain of the guards.

“Yes! Please come in, miss Leng. ” After the captain of the guards confirmed Leng ruoxue’s identity, his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn as he spoke with a smile.

After Leng ruoxue followed Ning Yan into the forbidden area, she realized that there was a formation hidden under the mist. No wonder she couldn’t see the house before. However, with Ning Yan and the others leading the way, Leng ruoxue entered the forbidden area without any trouble.

The forbidden area in the back mountain where the ning family’s master lived was huge. The spiritual Qi there was much denser than in the main city. There were hundreds of courtyards in the forbidden area. According to Ning Yan, other than the old ancestor’s daily residence, this was also the place where the elite disciples and elders of the family cultivated in seclusion. Therefore, the security was extremely strict. If Leng ruoxue was not the old ancestor’s goddaughter and had not been treated specially by the old ancestor, he would never have dared to bring her here.

However, before they reached the courtyard where the head of the family lived, they met a group of people. When Ning Yan saw them, he sighed in his heart. How did I meet this guy? This guy was an old-fashioned man. Hopefully, he wouldn’t find trouble with miss Leng. After all, miss Leng was not someone to be trifled with.

“Ning Yan! Who is she?” A middle-aged man in the group stopped Ning Yan and asked. Leng ruoxue was not dressed as a woman, so even though he was stunned by her devastatingly beautiful appearance, he still had to treat her with caution.

“Second elder, she is the adopted daughter of the master.” Ning Yan said very respectfully. Although the second elder was a little old-fashioned, his character was not bad. In addition, he was respected by the clan members, so he was also a little arrogant.

“Goddaughter? Even if she’s the master’s biological daughter, the forbidden area isn’t a place she can enter as she wishes. Ning Yan, take her away from here. ” The second elder shouted angrily.

“Second elder, she’s here to see the patriarch.” Ning Yan helplessly reminded him. The second elder even dared to chase away the family head’s most valued goddaughter, he really had guts! Furthermore, even though Leng ruoxue was only an adopted daughter, her position in the master’s heart was something that even his own daughter could not compare to! Unfortunately, this old-fashioned man actually turned a blind eye to it.

“The master isn’t here right now, so why did you bring her to the forbidden area? Have you forgotten the rules of the forbidden area? Even the ning family can’t come here casually. ” The second elder reproached.

Then according to second elder’s meaning, where should I place young lady Leng?” Ning Yan sighed and asked for the second elder’s opinion.

“Since she’s master’s goddaughter, you can arrange for her to stay in the main house. However, there are too many guests in the main house these two days, so I’m afraid it can’t accommodate so many people. You can arrange for this young lady to stay in a courtyard! It’s very quiet there and won’t disturb this young lady’s rest. ” The second elder pondered for a moment before deciding on Leng ruoxue’s residence, a side courtyard.

The courtyard that second elder mentioned was located on the outskirts of Lord ning’s main city. It was indeed very quiet there as second elder had said, because there was almost no one there all year round. To put it bluntly, no one had lived there for a long time.

When Ning Yan heard that the second elder wanted Leng ruoxue to stay in a separate courtyard, he was a little unhappy. However, he did not show it. He only reminded her,””The courtyard is located in the suburbs. Isn’t it inappropriate for a girl like miss Leng to live there?” AI! If the family head came back and found out that he let his precious goddaughter stay in a side courtyard, he would swallow him alive! Sob … Second elder, even if you want to die, don’t harm me!

“You can just send a few guards to protect her.” The second elder said disapprovingly. In his opinion, the strength of the family head’s adopted daughter was too low. He really didn’t know how she had managed to hug the family head’s thigh.

“This …” Ning Yan was in a dilemma. The master and the great elder were not here, and the second elder was the most senior in the ning family. Even the acting Master had to listen to his orders. How could he, a mere Butler of the forbidden land, refuse the second elder’s suggestion? He hesitated.

Just as he was hesitating, Leng ruoxue smiled and said,””Thank you for your kind offer, second elder. You know that I like peace and quiet. Ning Yan, please take me to the courtyard that the second elder has mentioned!”

“Young miss Leng, no one has stayed in the courtyard for a long time.” Ning Yan reminded her in a low voice.

“It’s fine. ” Leng ruoxue said nonchalantly. She really didn’t want to get involved in the ning family’s matters. Staying in the side courtyard could help her avoid a lot of trouble.

“AI! Alright then!” Ning Yan was helpless. He knew from the master that this young lady was a woman of her word.

After that, Ning Yan led Leng ruoxue to the ning family’s courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

Leng ruoxue nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the tall courtyard walls and the Vermillion red Door. From the outside, this place looked pretty good. However, when she entered and saw the fallen leaves and cobwebs all over the courtyard, she could no longer remain calm!
