Chapter 1435: Chapter 1297 Leaving the Royal Palace Chapter 1435: Chapter 1297 Leaving the Royal Palace …

…

Outside the Immortal Palace, Ning Tianyou stood with a troubled expression, taking a long while to regain his composure.

“Immortal Master, are you telling the truth?” Ning Tianyou asked.

“Yeah, recovery is hopeless unless we can find a superior Immortal object. Unfortunately, such objects are extremely rare and hard to find,” an elder with a white beard sighed.

“How can this be? I’ve never heard of the Legacy Power being lost…” Ning Tianyou still couldn’t believe it.

“On one hand, her spiritual strength has indeed been fatigued over the past few years; on the other hand, it might be related to her heart’s troubles. It’s apparent that she isn’t happy staying in this Royal Palace,” said the elder Immortal Master.

The Immortal Master had early on been aware of Ning Man’er’s special abilities and felt a sense of pity for the young girl.

…

Ning Man’er losing her strength quickly spread throughout the Royal Palace, and ironically, many came to visit her at this time.

This so-called visit was probably to verify whether Ning Man’er really lost that special power.

After numerous visits, some in the Royal Palace felt joy while others were distressed.

In the Ning’s Dynasty, it wasn’t solely controlled by the Ning Clan; even within the clan itself, there were many factions and branches.

Ning Man’er belonged to the Ning Zhuang lineage, with Ning Zhuang as the Family Head and Ning Tianyou next in line.

The Ning Zhuang lineage was actually in an awkward position within the City of Wupan as they had too many enemies, hence they had to continually deal with covert battles from various factions and other forces.

Ning Man’er could provide a lot of Xuan Objects for the Ning Zhuang lineage, and even Immortal objects appeared on occasion.

However, Ning Man’er’s abilities could not be hidden, and once the people of the Great Imperial Clan discovered her capabilities, they had already indicated that they would take her away.

That means, even though Ning Man’er originated from the Ning Zhuang lineage, given the uniqueness of her abilities and as her powers grew stronger, she would likely belong to the Great Imperial Clan. The Ning Zhuang lineage already had some grudges with the Great Imperial Clan, and unfortunately, they were unable to contend with them.

Therefore, when Ning Man’er was granted a high POSITION by the people of the Great Imperial Clan, even though she was one of their own, the top leaders of the Ning Zhuang lineage expressed great dissatisfaction.

Thus, the Ning Zhuang lineage was unfriendly or even strongly repulsive towards Ning Man’er, as everyone knew she no longer belonged to their power.

Considering Ning Man’er was still young and her abilities needed further enhancement, the Great Imperial Clan allowed her to continue staying with her grandfather, Ning Tianyou, for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Ning Zhuang lineage took this opportunity to continually have Ning Man’er nurture various Xuan Objects for them, squeezing as much as they could from her within the few limited years.

Those in the Great Imperial Clan who specified they wanted Ning Man’er would not return for another two years, and originally, the Ning Zhuang lineage could have extracted all possible resources from Ning Man’er during these two years.

However, her recent illness and loss of strength immediately caused faces within the Ning Zhuang lineage to turn.

Given Ning Man’er’s current strength, the upcoming two years were crucial for nurturing Xuan Objects and Immortal Objects, possibly even producing several Immortal Objects. The sudden occurrence of these events naturally infuriated them.

…

Inside the Conference Hall, the members of the Ning Zhuang lineage had all gathered.

“This girl must be playing us, falling ill at her most valuable time,” Ning Zhuang’s wife was the first to speak.

Ning Zhuang’s wife was notoriously aggressive and unreasonable. From the bottom of her heart, she disliked the wild girl, Ning Man’er, mainly because of issues with Ning Man’er’s father.

Years ago, Ning Man’er’s father had opposed Ning Zhuang’s wife, which led to continuous oppression of Ning Man’er ever since she returned to the clan.

Ning Zhuang’s wife came from the common folk; although she indeed possessed power and controlled significant authority within the Ning Zhuang lineage, if she dislikes someone, how many would dare to approach that person with kindness?

“Lady, you think this has nothing to do with you?” Ning Tianyou said sternly.

After all, Ning Tianyou was Ning Man’er’s grandfather, and he was incensed not only by her collapsing due to illness but also by her injuries.

The family itself was already lacking resources, and Ning Man’er’s performance lately had relieved the clan’s pressure.

Ning Tianyou was furious because while they knew Ning Man’er would not belong to their Ning Zhuang lineage in the future, she could have helped them through these few years to escape their plight. Yet, they failed to value that, and with such selfish individuals in the Ning Zhuang lineage, how could it ever return to its past prosperity?

“Oh, it has something to do with me? Why don’t you say it has something to do with you, you gave birth to a fine son who turned us from the Imperial Clan into a high-ranking clan, and now we still have to act according to the Great Imperial Clan’s whims,” Mrs. Ning Zhuang coldly mocked.

Ning Tianyou’s face darkened; this woman just wouldn’t let go of this matter!

The clan itself was already on the decline, and to rise again, they needed to let go of grudges. In Ning Tianyou’s eyes, the wife of the clan leader was a typical example of a woman who could share prosperity but not adversity; he couldn’t understand why Clan Leader Ning Zhuang would marry such a short-sighted woman.

“Alright, both of you stop arguing. Tianyou, continue to consult the Immortal Master and see if he has any way to treat this,” Ning Zhuang intervened.

“What way could there be? The Immortal Master already said, if the power is lost, the only option would be to undergo the Heritage again, otherwise, it would be impossible to regain it. You both know well that the World Monarch Tree was already uprooted by those people,” Ning Tianyou responded.

Ning Zhuang rubbed his temples; recently, the clan had been frequently troubled. Originally, the improvement of Ning Man’er’s strength had alleviated some of the clan’s pressures, but now Ning Man’er had also lost her power.

“Let’s disperse, let’s disperse,” Ning Zhuang waved his hand, not knowing what else to say.

After the meeting dispersed, Ning Tianyou headed towards the Immortal Palace.

The loss of Ning Man’er’s power had become a fact; the people from the Great Imperial Clan had already visited a few days ago. Although they verbally said they would continue to include Ning Man’er, if she had lost her power, she would possibly just be a name in the Great Imperial Clan.

Ning Tianyou stepped into Ning Man’er’s room. By this time, Ning Man’er had already gotten up and was standing by the bed in a silk robe, her delicate and tender body always giving off a frail impression.

A wry smile crossed Ning Tianyou’s lips as he approached Ning Man’er.

“Grandfather,” Ning Man’er turned around, her face blossoming into a smile.

Ning Tianyou looked at Ning Man’er’s smile, feeling more emotional. He remembered when Ning Man’er first came, her smile was genuinely pure and sweet, a simple naivety that quickly made him forget his resentment towards that unfilial son. But at some unknown time, Ning Man’er’s smile always carried a hint of melancholy and was no longer as simple as before.

“How are you recovering?” Ning Tianyou asked, touching her hair.

“Um, much better, it’s just…” Ning Man’er’s eyes began to wander.

“As long as your physical recovery is good, don’t think too much about the rest,” Ning Tianyou said.

Seeing the sorrow on Ning Tianyou’s face, Ning Man’er felt a bit guilty and began to secretly regret the cruel decision she had made.

“Grandfather, I… I want to make a trip back to the Silent Forest,” Ning Man’er said softly.

Ning Man’er was afraid Ning Tianyou wouldn’t agree, but in fact, she really wanted to return there; over the years, she always found herself back there in her dreams, where it sometimes burst with life and fragrance of flowers, and at other times, it appeared decayed and withered, making Ning Man’er more restless.

Ning Tianyou glanced at her and said, “It’s too far. Oh, you haven’t been around the city for a long time, have you? Let’s go together today.”

Admittedly, since Ning Man’er’s power progressed to the point where she could nurture high-level Xuan Objects, he had kept her confined within the Royal Palace, and she hadn’t frequented much of the vast City of Wupan.

“But… I really want to go and see,” Ning Man’er’s voice became even fainter.

Ning Man’er seldom repeated herself, and Ning Tianyou could see that despite her quiet voice, she truly yearned to return to the Silent Forest.

“I’ll be back very soon,” Ning Man’er continued to plead.

After hesitating for a long time, Ning Tianyou finally sighed and said, “Alright, I need to ask the authorities of the Great Imperial Clan if they are willing to let you leave.”

“Yes, thank you, Grandfather,” Ning Man’er immediately brightened with a smile.

…

With the determination of the loss of Ning Man’er’s power, the Great Imperial Clan naturally wouldn’t restrict her freedom. They permitted her to leave City of Wupan, or rather, they were no longer interested in knowing where Ning Man’er went.

On the side of Ning Zhuang’s lineage, now that Ning Man’er had lost her power, Mrs. Ning Zhuang certainly couldn’t wait for Ning Man’er to leave immediately, to avoid being reminded of her father’s disgraceful behavior.

Exiting the huge, cold gates of the Royal Palace, Ning Man’er took a deep breath of the outside air and felt much lighter.

Perhaps, leaving all that behind was good for her.

“Little Immortal, I am Luo Yi, and this is Wo Shan, both under Lord He Cang’s command; we’ll be protecting you from here onwards,” a tall woman in blue clothes said respectfully as she approached Ning Man’er.

“Where is Brother He?” suddenly having two new protectors made Ning Man’er somewhat uncomfortable. Right now, the person she trusted most was He Cang.

“He Cang has important affairs to attend to,” the woman who called herself Luo Yi said.

“Important affairs…” Ning Man’er murmured. She could guess that with her loss of strength, she no longer held any value and couldn’t possibly be protected by a person of the Boundary Lord Rank.
