A deathly silence fell over the hall. Ning Lan stared wide-eyed at her 'older sister' in disbelief. How could she say such a thing?
Since Ning Yan returned to the Ning Family, she has been extremely respectful to everyone in the family, afraid of upsetting them. But today, she seemed to have changed her personality and directly insulted Ning Wu.
Ning Wu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, roaring, "Ning Yan, are you trying to rebel?!"
Ning Lan quickly began to persuade her, "Father, Sister Ning Yan probably just said something incoherently. Please don't punish her."
Hearing these words, Ning Wu's anger subsided slightly, and he regained some composure. He then looked coldly at Ning Yan:
"It seems you've indeed picked up some bad habits over the years. If you were even half as good as your sister, I'd be laughing all the way to the bank..."
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and a handsome young man walked into the hall. After entering, he immediately began searching the hall, and when he saw Ning Lan, Past immediately.
"Lanlan, are you alright?"
Ning Yan turned her head and glanced at the person who had just arrived. She recognized him immediately; it was her 'older brother'.
Ning Lan's face showed seven parts grievance and three parts pitifulness. "Brother, please persuade Sister. She was punished by Father for stealing my things, and she's probably a little angry too. She even called Father an idiot."
"Brother, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just give up on that thing. As long as Sister and Dad don't fight, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, Ning Peng's face immediately filled with rage.
"What did you say?"
He suddenly turned his head to look at Ning Yan, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that seemed to want to devour Ning Yan alive; he looked extremely fierce and terrifying.
"Ning Yan, who gave you the audacity to steal Lanlan's things and even dare to call your father a good-for-nothing?"
Ning Yan simply looked at him calmly. It seemed that her brother had always been like this, treating his adopted daughter Ning Lan very seriously, but never really caring about his own sister.
Every time Ning Lan said she had stolen something, Ning Peng never doubted her and always believed Ning Lan unconditionally.
Ning Yan glanced around, her eyes filled with extreme mockery and ridicule. Although she had just been reborn, with her Cultivation Level and understanding of the Great Dao from her previous life, these people in front of her were no threat at all.
He looked at Ning Lan with great interest, as if she were a toy.
"You mean I stole your things?"
Ning Lan didn't expect Ning Yan to ask her this question at this time, so she immediately replied, "Yesterday, only my sister went into my room. It contains some precious things, and even Servants are not allowed to enter without my permission."
"Sis, I have a lot of nice things here. If you really like them, I can get you another one."
Ning Lan spoke very generously, but Ning Peng beside her was somewhat angry.
"Alright, why bother talking to her so much?"
Ning Peng looked at Ning Yan with icy eyes. "Ning Yan, return the things to Lanlan right now, apologize to her, and kneel down to kowtow to your father and admit your mistake."
"Otherwise, I will punish you according to family rules today!"
Ning Yan's face held a hint of mockery. "Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are really quite idiotic. I don't know if you know the inside story but simply look down on me, or if you're really as stupid as pigs, unable to even see such a low-level dosage."
"You..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Peng's anger intensified, and he was about to strike Ning Yan.
Just then, a mysterious aura Mi Man from Ning Yan's body.
Ning Yan spoke calmly, "I never had any feelings for you to begin with. Since things have come to this, let's just consider it as venting 'her' anger."
With a gentle wave of her hand, she sent Ning Peng flying backward, the terrifying Strength Great Dao blasting her out of the main hall.
Ning Peng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
You must know that he is at the Saint Venerable Realm, Heavenly Prodigy of the younger generation of the Ning Family. How could he possibly be seriously injured by this brat Ning Yan in one move?
Ning Yan was somewhat dissatisfied. Although her attack wasn't at full strength, it shouldn't have only this much power, right?
Suddenly.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and a piercing pain shot through her body.
Poison!
Damn it!
Ning Yan turned to look at Ning Lan: "You poisoned me!"
She immediately recalled that Ning Lan had tricked her into coming to her room yesterday and even treated her to food. Although she was not well received in the Ning Family, there was absolutely no one who would dare to harm her.
Except for Ning Lan.
She was constantly thinking about getting rid of me so that her status as a young lady could be secure.
Ning Lan's eyes showed a hint of panic. "Sister, what are you saying? How could I possibly poison you?"
Sitting in the head seat, Ning Wu was initially somewhat angry, but upon sensing the faint yet powerful aura emanating from Ning Yan, his anger instantly transformed into icy killing intent.
The fact that she could defeat Ning Peng in one blow shows that her strength must be considerable.
He knew Ning Yan's aptitude very well; it was only average, and she probably had no hope of even becoming Great Emperor in the Future. How could someone like that have broken through to such a level so quietly?
This can only mean one thing: Ning Yan stole a rare treasure from her Lineage; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to unleash such formidable strength.
"Ning Yan, you're asking for death!"
"I brought you back to the Ning Family, and I've been treating you to good food and drink. How dare you steal from my Ning Family!"
Ning Wu's voice was icy cold. He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, unleashing terrifying power that even caused strange celestial phenomena to appear above the Ning Family's residence.
These are the Immortal Stage Cultivator. In this world, cultivators who reach this level are already at the very top of the food chain.
Ning Yan raised her hand to block, and the two forces collided.
"Puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Ning Yan's mouth, and his face turned extremely pale.
Damn it!
The poison had already penetrated her lungs and internal organs. Although it wouldn't kill Ning Yan, it greatly limited her combat power, and it couldn't be completely eliminated in a short time.
In this situation, even her own family members wish they could kill her. With no power to protect herself, she may face dire consequences today.
A resolute look flashed in Ning Yan's eyes. She couldn't die. She hadn't found her husband yet. She had finally been given a second chance at life, and she absolutely couldn't let this golden opportunity slip by.
After colliding with Ning Wu Ning Yan, Ning Wu immediately took a step back, looking at Ning Yan with disbelief on his face.
How could you possibly possess such power?
You must know that he is Immortal Stage Cultivator. Even a cultivator at the Great Emperor level would not be able to withstand a single move from him. Although he held back his strength just now, even so, Ning Yan could not possibly defeat him.
"What on earth did you do?!"
