C28 The Day of the Competition

Ever since he and Ning Suyan entered the house, the beautiful woman's gaze had been lingering on them.

Ning Suyan's face was burning with heat from being stared at like this. She even forgot to carry her daily luggage.

Even Ye Qingchen could not help but feel a trace of pressure.

Finally, the beautiful woman in green smiled and said,

"This is Young Master Ye, who Suyan has been talking about with me recently?"

"Greetings, Madam Ning."

Ye Qingchen cupped his fists and bowed, "Today is the birthday of Madam Ning. I wish you a long life and a peaceful family."

The beautiful woman in green in front of him was Ning Suyan's mother, Song Shuishui.

Song Shuishui smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Young Master Ye."

"I have heard Suyan mention that she had been in danger twice. If Young Master Ye had not saved her, I'm afraid we would not have met again."

"We should have thanked you with the highest honor of the Ning family. However, due to the current situation, we cannot hold a banquet. I hope Young Master Ye can forgive us."

"Madam Ning, what are you talking about? Miss Ning has helped me before. It is only right that I help you."

Ye Qingchen smiled.

Song Shuishui nodded and smiled. She reached out her hand to invite the two of them to take a seat.

After that, she clapped her hands and a few maids brought over the delicious dishes.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Ye Qingchen's appetite couldn't help but increase.

"Last night, I heard that Young Master Ye would come with Suyan to celebrate my birthday, so I personally cooked. I hope Young Master Ye can enjoy it."

Song Shuishui smiled.

Ye Qingchen was overwhelmed with gratitude and immediately thanked her. Then, he started to eat.

During this time, Ning Suyan saw that there was some grease on the corner of Ye Qingchen's mouth, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the grease off his mouth.

Ye Qingchen couldn't help but be stunned.

Song Shuishui and Ning Yan, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but smile at each other.

Only then did Ning Suyan realize that her actions just now seemed too intimate. She quickly took back the handkerchief with a blush on her face and focused on finishing the food in her bowl.

After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content, Ning Yan looked at Ye Qingchen and said after some consideration,

"Young Master Ye, I heard from Suyan last night that you were willing to stay and help us, is that true?"

Ye Qingchen looked at Ning Suyan and saw that she was urging him with her eyes. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, so he nodded.

"Yes, I am prepared to stay for a while longer and help you guys."

Hearing this, Song Shuishui and Ning Yan's faces lit up.

Song Shuishui smiled and said, "Then, thank you, Young Master Ye. No matter what the result is, we, the entire Ning family, will definitely be grateful to you!"

Although Ye Qingchen only had the cultivation of the Tenth Level of the True Condensation Stage.

But she could also tell that Ye Qingchen was not as simple as he looked!

"Madam Ning, there's no need to thank me. Miss Ning and I have already become friends. Now that the Ning family is in trouble, I will not ignore it."

Ye Qingchen said with a smile.

When Ning Suyan heard this, her eyes sparkled.

Ning Yan laughed out loud and said, "Looks like Suyan is really blessed to have such a good friend as Young Master Ye!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the inner hall, "Father, you can rest assured now, right?"

Ye Qingchen was startled and quickly looked over.

He saw Ning Songzhi slowly walking out from the inner hall.

"Grandfather?! Aren't you cultivating?"

Ning Suyan was also surprised.

"Hehe, last night, I was still suspicious when I heard Suyan talk about it."

Ning Songzhi laughed and said, "Now, I only have gratitude for Young Master Ye."

His old eyes looked at Ning Suyan with a gentle look.

"Suyan, I have to thank you this time for finding a life-saving straw for our Ning family."

After saying that, Ning Songzhi suddenly looked at Ye Qingchen.

"Young Master Ye, I have something to ask of you."

Looking at Ning Songzhi's suddenly serious expression, Ye Qingchen did not dare to be negligent and quickly stood up.

"Old Master Ning, please say it."

"If you lose the competition in four days, I hope that you can take Suyan to Profound Feather College!"

Ning Songzhi said seriously.

"Grandfather?!"

Ning Suyan was shocked.

Ning Yan also said in a deep voice, "Young Master Ye, I know that this request might make things difficult for you."

"However, we know that even if we lose in the competition and secretly transfer the blood of the new students, the Liu family will definitely not let us go so easily. They will still try to kill us."

"If you can bring Suyan to the Profound Feather College, with the status of the Profound Feather College, they will definitely not dare to make a move against you!"

"Besides... This is also the only way we can think of to let Suyan avoid the Liu family's Second Young Master!"

When he said this, Ning Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"No! I want to go with you!"

Ning Suyan was on the verge of tears as she threw herself into Ning Yan's arms.

"Suyan, be good. Don't let your father and grandfather's efforts go to waste."

Song Shuishui reached out her hand and gently stroked Ning Suyan's hair as she smiled with reddened eyes.

If there was a better way, why would they be willing to be separated from their daughter?

But compared to being separated...

They were even more unwilling to see their beloved daughter being forced to marry a man she didn't like, losing her happiness for the rest of her life!

At this moment, the originally joyous and harmonious atmosphere had become gloomy and miserable.

Ning Songzhi looked at the family of three who were hugging each other and could only sigh.

Ye Qingchen pursed his lips and finally said,

"Actually... I can guarantee that even if we lose in the competition, Miss Ning will definitely not be forced to marry the Liu family's Second Young Master! "

When he said this, the four people from the Ning family were shocked.

Ning Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Really?!"

Ye Qingchen nodded heavily, "I swear on my honor."

Even if he was defeated in the end, as long as he took out the token that Hu Tianqing gave him, the Liu family would definitely not dare to take an inch from him!

Moreover, as long as the Liu family did not send out a Star Gathering Stage expert, he had enough confidence to defeat all of them!

At that time, the Ning family's crisis would be solved!

Moreover, at that time, they might even be able to rise from the ashes!

The reason why Ye Qingchen did not say these words was because he knew that even if he did say it, Ning Songzhi and the others would not believe him.

Since that was the case, he would leave it until the day of the competition and use his actions to tell them!

"That's great … That's really great!"

Ning Yan was so excited that he burst out laughing and hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed towards Ye Qingchen.

"If Young Master Ye can really do it, I, Ning Yan, am willing to do anything! No matter what request you have, I will definitely do it!"

Ye Qingchen hurriedly avoided it and said, "Patriarch Ning, you can't do that."

Just as he was about to speak, Ning Songzhi laughed and said,

"Alright, you are calling Young Master Ye a cow or a horse. You have scared Young Master Ye to death."

He looked at Ye Qingchen and said,

"Since Young Master Ye is willing to stay behind and help us, then we will try our best to satisfy any request you have."

"As I said before, no matter if you succeed or fail, as long as you can take Suyan away or force Suyan to marry that brat from the Liu family, we won't ask for anything else."

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen's heart couldn't help but be moved.

From the beginning to the end, they had always been worried about Ning Suyan's happiness and didn't want her to marry the person she didn't like.

Even if the Ning family lost the competition, they never mentioned it.

As long as Ning Suyan was safe, they would have nothing to worry about.

With such a family, Ning Suyan was definitely lucky.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but think of his parents.

Why did they abandon him?

Why did they not come to find him after so many years?

These questions never left his mind.

Sighing in his heart, Ye Qingchen nodded and said,

"Old Master Ning, don't worry. I will do my best in the competition four days later!"

Four days later.

The Ning family's contest field.

On this day, the Ning family was unprecedentedly lively.

Countless forces of different sizes in the Foxhurst City had all come.

They all knew that perhaps from today onwards, the Ning family, which was once one of the two great families, would no longer exist.

Perhaps it would cease to exist.

Looking at the crowd outside the field, Ning Songzhi retracted his gaze and calmed down.

However, Ning Yan, who had a bad temper, could not hold it in anymore and cursed in a low voice,

"These bastards! They always come to flatter us when we see them."

"Today, they came here to see the Ning family make a fool of themselves!"

Ning Songzhi scolded in a low voice, "Shut up. If it wasn't for the fact that our Ning family is not strong enough, why would they come and watch us make a fool of ourselves?"

"…"

Ning Yan fell silent for a moment.

Ning Songzhi opened his eyes and turned to the side.

"Grand Elder, how's the preparation for the transfer of the new disciples going?"

The Grand Elder said, "Reporting to the Patriarch, everything has been arranged. All the new disciples have been transferred out of the Foxhurst City."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ning Songzhi nodded, then looked behind him at Ye Qingchen, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"I wonder if he will have the chance to turn the situation around…"

Ning Songzhi thought silently, then shook his head.

"It's enough for him to take Suyan with him. There's no need to hope for something that is impossible…"

After a while.

A cry of surprise suddenly sounded.

"The people from the Liu family are here!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ning Songzhi and the others immediately turned their gazes away.

Ye Qingchen also opened his eyes.

A middle-aged man in a green robe with a smile on his face was walking over.

Behind him, there were several powerful elders of the Liu family.

The middle-aged man in green robe walked out of the contest field and looked at Ning Yan, who was sitting on the main seat, with a mocking smile on his face.

"Ning Yan, have you prepared your spoils of war?"
