Chapter 471: Chapter 470: Wait for Me to Come Out

Luo Ning rarely saw Luo Ranran reveal such an expression.

She asked, "What’s wrong?"

Luo Ranran honestly replied, "There’s news from the Lou Family that Lou Yiheng is not doing well, and my beloved father has hired several Fengshui Masters from outside to help him."

"Those Fengshui Masters all brought people with them, adding up to twenty or thirty people in total."

"I guess those people might be from the International Black Alliance."

Looking at Luo Ning, she continued, "If they can’t resolve the issues with Lou Yiheng, I expect they’ll come looking for you."

Over the years, she had realized this.

Her parents doted most on the eldest son, harboring particularly severe old feudal thoughts, believing the eldest son to be the root of a family.

Lou Yiheng could bully her as much as he wanted, and her parents turned a blind eye, just like their eyes were blind; her other brothers were not so heavily favored either.

Thus, the Lou couple absolutely did not want to see anything happen to Lou Yiheng.

Luo Ning raised her eyebrows, "The issue with Lou Yiheng, they definitely can’t solve it."

That meant that the Lou Family would indeed come looking for trouble, but she was not afraid.

"Bringing so many people to the island, it’s probably not just about treating Lou Yiheng."

Luo Ning knew that the International Black Alliance was about to take action.

Luo Ranran nodded, "That’s what I thought too."

Then she took a deep breath and said, "So, I’m preparing to go home for a bit."

Luo Ning was stunned, "Why would you go back? If Lou Yiheng has a problem, you’ll definitely be the scapegoat if you return."

Luo Ranran said with a smile, "Let them blame me, they can’t exactly kill me."

"This is indeed an opportunity for me."

Luo Ranran looked at Lu Xun and said, "I want to seize the opportunity to prove myself to the higher-ups."

She knew the Lou Family must have colluded with the International Black Alliance, which would inevitably lead to a stand-off with the authorities.

From her understanding of the Lou Family, they might want to break away from Huaxia, which is why they had already betrayed.

And the authorities would definitely not want to see such a thing happen.

Lu Xun understood Luo Ranran’s intention, "No problem, I’ll talk to the higher-ups."

"Are you going back to find evidence?"

Luo Ranran nodded, "Not just to find evidence, but also to uncover their plans."

Lu Xun thought for a moment, "That could work."

"It’s just that I’m worried about your safety. If discovered, the Lou Family Master might sacrifice you, his daughter, to protect the family."

He still had to warn her, as Luo Ning cared deeply about Luo Ranran.

Luo Ranran smiled carelessly, "No venture, no gain. I’m prepared."

Lu Xun didn’t respond but instead looked towards Luo Ning.

Seeing that Luo Ranran was serious, Luo Ning sighed, "Alright, then you must be careful."

"I’ll send the Snake King with you; if your life is in danger, let it help you escape."

She did not want to see her friend get into trouble.

Luo Ranran said with a smile, "No need, you’re in danger at the Luo Family too, better keep the Snake King for yourself."

Luo Ning said, "As dangerous as it is at the Luo Family, the Family Head Luo wouldn’t dare let me die, not to mention my dad."

"You take the Snake King still, don’t refuse."

Luo Ranran felt warm inside, seeing Luo Ning’s resolute expression she chuckled, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Luo Ning also gave Luo Ranran a high-tech communicator she and Lu Xun had developed.

Using this to contact them, the Lou Family won’t discover it, since a mobile phone is certainly not safe.

The next morning, Ranran had not yet proposed returning to the Lou Family, when the Lou Family Master had already sent someone to fetch her.

Such urgency indicated that the agents of the International Black Alliance were at a loss with Yiheng’s illness.

Although the Lou Family Master did not come personally this time, Madam Lou did.

Upon seeing Ranran, Madam Lou revealed a mother’s desperate longing and wished for Ranran to return and keep her company.

Ranran felt this was immensely ironic—she had once harbored hopes and desires for maternal love, but after being hurt, she realized it was just a delusion.

Thus, she had long abandoned such thoughts, and without expectations, there could be no disappointment.

However, she pretended to demonstrate deep maternal affection and agreed to return.

This surprised Madam Lou, as under such circumstances, her daughter would usually respond with sharp retorts.

Feeling somewhat proud, she thought surely it took her intervention, as her daughter still longed for her maternal love.

Thus, the mother and daughter played their roles, bid farewell to Family Head Luo, and took a boat back to the Lou Family.

Ranran’s departure pleased Family Head Luo.

Luo Ning, following Ranran’s departure, sought out Family Head Luo.

She got straight to the point, "Didn’t you say we could meet my dad once we were on the island? Where is he?"

Family Head Luo looked helpless, "Your dad is in seclusion, and I can’t make him come out to see you."

"Wait a while. As soon as he comes out, I’ll notify you."

Luo Ning appeared skeptical, "If we have to wait, who knows how long it will be? We really don’t have the time to spare."

Family Head Luo insisted, "I’m not lying to you; your dad is at a critical moment."

Luo Ning looked at him with half-belief, "I want to go to the Forbidden Land and see my dad first."

Family Head Luo knew Luo Ning didn’t trust him, and stopping her seemed pointless, "Fine, I’ll take you to the Forbidden Land."

He did not pick another time; he took Luo Ning to the Luo Family’s Forbidden Land right then.

Upon opening the gates to the Forbidden Land, the two of them walked in.

Inside, there was a significant fluctuation of energy, and the entrance was even blocked by an Array.

Family Head Luo told Luo Ning, "See, I didn’t lie to you."

Luo Ning looked off into the distance, a smile tinged her eyes—it seemed her dad was indeed about to advance levels ahead of time.

Just as she pondered, suddenly Luo Yi’s voice came through, "Is that Ningning?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Ning’s eyes immediately reddened, "Dad."

Luo Yi, hearing this call, also felt excited, "My dear, dad is in a critical stage of his seclusion and can’t come out to see you right now."

"But it will be soon, wait for me to come out."

He was now at a crucial point of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man; if he left now, not only would it rupture his progress, but he would also be befallen by a backlash, eliminating any future chances of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man in his lifetime.

For his wife and children, he could not give up.

Luo Ning naturally would not make unreasonable demands, "Okay, we’ll wait at the Luo family for dad to finish his seclusion."

She felt her dad might soon be out.

Luo Yi’s voice came again, "Great, once I’m out, I’ll take you home."

Obviously, due to his seclusion, he was still unaware that his wife and son had also come to the island.

Luo Ning didn’t tell her dad about this to avoid affecting his advancement, "Okay!"

She didn’t linger too long after speaking and followed Family Head Luo out of the Forbidden Land.

Family Head Luo’s mind was conflicughtg at the time; his son’s mention of going home naturally meant the Imperial Capital, not the Luo family.

With two sons and a daughter, either deceased or harboring resentment against him and his wife, the thought was saddening and somewhat tragic.

After exiting, he told Luo Ning, "Go back and wait. Your dad will naturally come to find you once he’s out."

Luo Ning saw the sorrow in his demeanor and felt no sympathy, "Okay."
