Chapter 714: Ningguang's True Heart
Ningguang, who was tied to a chair, kept twisting her body, trying to break free.
"This is true, I can prove it! Ye Lan will be back in a few days! You can go ask Ye Lan, or go to Fontaine to verify it yourself, everything I said is true!"
Shao Yun stood aside and observed Ningguang's reaction. He found that Ningguang did not seem to be lying.
Shao Yun slowly turned around, with his back to Ningguang, and lowered his voice and said, "Yuanshang, are you there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of Shao Yun suddenly produced a slight fluctuation.
Immediately afterwards, a fist-sized abyss teleportation "hole" appeared before his eyes.
Yuan Shang's voice came from the other side of the transmission "hole", asking: "Anytime, what's the matter?"
Shao Yun immediately ordered: "Go check right now, is Ye Lan in Fontaine? What is she doing now?"
Yuan Shang responded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Yuan Shang's voice disappeared into the teleportation "hole", and the teleportation "hole" slowly closed as if it had never appeared.
Ningguang, who was tied to the chair, looked at Shao Yun who suddenly turned his back and asked, "Mr. Shao Yun, who... who are you talking to?"
Shao Yun turned around abruptly and shouted at Ningguang fiercely, "Don't worry about this. Just stay here and wait..."
……
Twenty minutes later, Yuanshang once again activated a fist-sized abyss teleportation "hole".
Yuanshang's voice came from the transmission "hole".
"I found out that the guy named Ye Lan is indeed in Fontaine. Moreover, there are indeed some Liyue Qianyan troops in Hailu Port, helping to escort the supplies."
Shao Yun was very surprised to hear that the news was true.
He originally thought that Ningguang was lying to buy time, but he didn't expect that she would actually do such a thing.
Shao Yun asked quickly, "Is this batch of aid really donated to Fontaine in my name?"
Yuanshang replied: "I asked the Qianyan Army and they confirmed it. This batch of supplies was indeed donated to Fontaine in your name."
Shao Yun was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that Ningguang didn't lie, which surprised him greatly.
After the fist-sized abyss teleportation "hole" slowly disappeared, Shao Yun looked at Ning Guang, who was tied to the chair by him, in disbelief and asked:
"Ningguang, why? You clearly already have this plan, why are you still being confused!"
Ningguang tried to explain: "This is a surprise, Mr. Shao Yun, this is all a misunderstanding!"
Seeing that Ningguang was still quibbling at this time, Shao Yun became more and more angry.
He pressed her, "Well, then, just think of it as a surprise you prepared. All those dirty words you said were meant to deliberately offend me so that I wouldn't owe you a favor."
"But why didn't you say anything when I specifically reminded you this morning? Instead, you said it now that you are about to die?"
Ningguang saw that she had no chance of getting away with it and was suddenly speechless, not knowing how to respond.
During the day, she had completely blocked her own escape route with her own hands! How could she explain this?
“I…I thought…” Ningguang stammered.
But the words stopped suddenly when they came to her lips, and even she herself didn't believe what she was going to say next.
Seeing this, Shao Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and continued to ask: "I said it clearly at the time. Everything I said, please note, it is 'all'!"
"I even asked you three times in a row, and by the end I was already frowning, but you still didn't notice at all. How could I not be furious?"
Shao Yun became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.
"Before I knocked you out, I asked you again. I told you, it's not too late for you to regret now, but what about you? Then I have no choice but to hit you!"
At this moment, Ningguang's mind was completely in chaos.
She began to try hard to recall the scene at that time, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember why she was so indifferent to Shao Yun's words.
The only explanation is that my own desires made me lose my judgment...
"I..." Ningguang was about to explain when Shao Yun suddenly interrupted her.
He took out a brand new M1899 pistol, pulled the slide, and there was a "click" sound. The sound of the bullet being loaded was particularly harsh in this silent environment.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. If you don't have any last words, then just wait and die..."
Shao Yun said expressionlessly, pointing the black muzzle of the gun straight at Ningguang's forehead.
Ningguang widened her eyes, staring at the black muzzle of Shao Yun's gun, and a dry sound came from her throat.
"Wait! Before you kill me, I have a question for you."
Seeing that Ningguang still had something to say, Shao Yun, in line with the principle of respecting the dead, slowly put down the gun in his hand, looked at her, and asked indifferently: "What's the matter?"
Ningguang took a few deep breaths and tried to keep her voice steady.
"What's wrong with me being inferior to Ying? I don't understand! Whatever she can give you, I can give you! If she can give birth to a child for you, I can do it too."
"I don't even need you to acknowledge the relationship between you and me. I just want you to stand on my side, not on the side of the immortal!"
Ningguang's voice became louder and louder, almost a roar in the end.
When Shao Yun listened to Ningguang's words, an expression of astonishment first appeared on his face, then disbelief, and finally turned into deep shock.
He had never expected that Ningguang would have such motives and ideas.
"So, you just want to treat this as a deal?" Shao Yun's voice was full of confusion and anger. "Then why did you think of such a stupid way to win me over!"
Ningguang took a deep breath and spoke the truth: "I... because the Liuyun Immortal Family has always been at loggerheads with me and made things difficult for me, but Ying is pregnant with your child. I witnessed with my own eyes how much you dote on and care for her."
"In my opinion, no matter how close the relationship maintained by money is, it can never be compared with the affection brought by blood. That is why I have such an idea..."
When she said this, Ningguang's voice trembled slightly due to her excitement.
"I never thought of using the child to threaten you. I just hope that you can consider the child's blood relationship with you and not stand on the side of the immortal."
"Even if you don't want to help me, I will never threaten you with this! I will just regard this as a failed investment and blame myself for my bad luck!"
After hearing what Ningguang said, Shao Yun was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
He stared at Ningguang with wide eyes, wondering how the person in front of him could have become a complete stranger.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and said in disbelief: "You've gone crazy! You are not that kind of person in my mind at all!"
"You have brains, you know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and you know what the bottom line is, but why are you so desperate to die? Have you forgotten everything I said to you?"
A bitter smile appeared on Ningguang's lips. After a dry laugh, she spoke slowly.
"Money can attract people's hearts, and power can dazzle people's eyes! People have desires. When desires blind their eyes, they will lose their reason and do things that they can't even imagine..."
At this point, Ningguang raised her head, looked into Shao Yun's eyes, and asked, "Mr. Shao Yun, do you have desires?"
Shao Yun avoided Ningguang's gaze and admitted seriously: "Yes, it is normal for people to have desires, but people need to understand what fear is and what self-knowledge is. Why are you so confused!"
Ningguang did not answer, but continued to ask Shao Yun a question.
"Absolute force will overcome fear. Do you have something you are afraid of?"
Shao Yun didn't know what to think and answered: "I... I don't know, maybe I don't have time to be afraid anymore, and I don't have the right to be afraid anymore!"
……
At this moment, on the top of a mountain not far away, Zhongli was looking down at everything below the mountain from high above.
At this moment, a dark green figure flashed past Zhongli.
Xiao appeared beside Zhongli and asked, "Emperor, it looks like Shao Yun is going to kill Ningguang. Do you want to help him?"
Zhongli stared at the situation below and ordered: "Let's see what's going on. If Shao Yun really wants to kill Ningguang, you should take action immediately and save Ningguang. I will go deal with Shao Yun."
When Xiao heard that Zhongli was going to deal with Shao Yun personally, he was shocked.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao suggested, "Emperor, in my opinion, it would be safer for me to deal with Shao Yun while you rescue Ningguang."
However, Zhongli shook his head slowly and said softly: "You are no match for Shao Yun. Fighting with him will only put you in danger. Shao Yun and I have some friendship..."
Xiao obviously did not agree with Zhongli's statement and wanted to continue arguing.
"But……"
Zhongli didn't even give him a chance to finish his words. He said firmly, "There's no buts. There's no need to argue anymore. Time is running out. Xiao, prepare to act!"
