“You want him to fall into disarray by himself?” It only took a little thinking for Ning Meng Yao to understand Qiao Tian Chang’s intention. This man was really cunning.
Qiao Tian Chang nodded, “That’s right, I am planning to do that, only so that I can achieve the results I want.”
“You should inform Xiao Qi Feng in advance.” Despite her dislike of being in the capital, she understood that innocent people should not be implicated.
It was better to notify the people on their side so that they could prevent Xi Qi Feng from being displeased due to Qiao Tian Chang’s lack of informing.
“Don’t worry, it will be alright.” Without a care, Qiao Tian Chang gave Ning Meng Yao a pat on her shoulder.
They continued their conversation in the courtyard before Qiao Tian Chang carried her by the waist, “It’s getting late, let’s call it a day.”
“Okay.”
The next day, Qiao Tian Chang visited the Palace while Ning Meng Yao called for Qing Shuang.
Qing Shuang felt pressurized watching Ning Meng Yao’s expressionless face, wondering why she was called her over.
“Qing Shuang, undo the seal of the meridians in my body.” Before Qing Shuang’s thoughts had the opportunity to run wild, Ning Meng Yao spoke.
Qing Shuang came to a halt as she looked at Ning Meng Yao while doing her best to determine whether she had heard right.
“Missy, you...”
“Do as you are told.” She possessed martial art knowledge to a certain degree. She learned some self defense moves with Ling Luo and utilised her internal power from Yu Feng for a few years. She did not want anyone to know that she could use internal power, which was why she instructed Qing Shuang to seal it up in the first place.
The incident this time taught her a severe lesson. If she had held internal power, she would’ve been able to fight off the effects of the soft tendon scattering powder
She also learned that she should depend on no one but herself as it was impossible for others to be by her side at all time to protect her. She could only rely on herself to protect herself, her loved ones, and other important matters.
That was why she no longer cared whether her identity would be revealed anymore. When the time comes, there would be many out to investigate the truthfulness in the rumors, that was why she had to have sufficient power by then.
“Missy, I am worried...”
“Don’t worry, I will keep it under control.” Ning Meng Yao shook her head and replied Qing Shuang firmly.
There was another reason why she chose to seal her internal power within her. She was hardly able to control it. Not only would she hurt herself easily, but also the people around her, which was why Yu Feng and the others agreed to her suggestion at that time.
Qing Shuang could sense Ning Meng Yao’s seriousness from her express, so she finally gave in reluctantly, “Okay, Missy you should go and prepare yourself.”
“Okay.”
An hour later, Ning Meng Yao sat down on the bed in her white inner wear. Qing Shuang sat behind her, her hands holding on to some silver needles.
Qing Xun and the others were guarding outside for fear that the process might fail if Qiao Tian Chang barges in when he comes back.
Qing Shuang inserted the silver needles into the major acupuncture points in Ning Meng Yao’s body. Every needle inserted made Ning Meng Yao’s expression grew even darker.
It had been long since she felt like this and she nearly could not contain the surging power within her.
“Hang in there, Missy.” As Ning Meng Yao’s face turned pale, Qing Shuang’s worry grew too.
Ning Meng Yao nodded in pain. She could only endure it herself, but luckily, the process did not last for long. Ning Meng Yao was soon able sense the power running through her body, and her lips lifted into a smile.
“Haha.” Ning Meng Yao laughed carefreely.
From today onwards, no one would ever dare to lay a finger on anything she cared about, for they would pay with their lives if they do so.
When Qiao Tian Chang returned home, he heard Ning Meng Yao’s laughter from her room, which sounded very unusual. He hurriedly pushed through the door to check on her.
Upon entering the room, he saw Ning Meng Yao sitting cross legged on the bed in her inner wear with silver needles on her body.
“What’s going on, Qing Shuang? Is there something wrong with Yao Yao’s body?” Concerned, Qiao Tian Chang asked anxiously. Although Ning Meng Yao’s face looked paled, she did not look like she was suffering.
Qing Shuang took a glance at Qiao Tian Chang, and then another glance at Ning Meng Yao before she removed the silver needles from her body, “you should hear from Missy instead, Young Master.”
