Before long, Ning Wangshu finally followed Xia Qianyue into Flame Sky City.
Xia Qi was also restrained by Ning Wangshu and followed behind them.
They continued onward, and before long, Ning Wangshu followed Xia Qianyue to the Xia Family...
As soon as she returned to the Xia Family, Xia Qianyue immediately took Ning Wangshu, along with the suppressed Xia Qi, to see her father—the Xia Family head, Xia Mingzhe!

After saying that, Xia Qianyue immediately added, "Dad, if Senior Ning hadn't saved me this time, your daughter might not have made it back."
"Hmm? Qianyue, what do you mean by that? What do you mean, you might not have made it back?"
Xia Mingzhe was taken aback. His eyebrows immediately furrowed, and his expression grew grave.
Xia Qianyue took a deep breath, glanced at the suppressed Xia Qi to the side, and said, "Dad, it was Fifth Uncle! He sent Zhao Dachuan and the others to ambush me, intending to get rid of me."
"His purpose was to prevent you from successfully negotiating my marriage contract with the Lin Family of Heavenly Peak City and to cut off your outside support."

Xia Qianyue immediately recounted the entire chain of events to Xia Mingzhe.
She also told Xia Mingzhe about how, after bringing Ning Wangshu back to Flame Sky City, they had encountered another ambush
