Chapter 212: The Tragedy of the Dryad Family

At night, the craze was surging, and the people of Huatao Manor had returned to their rooms to sleep peacefully, giving the fierce battle on this day a superficial rest.

Nie Xiaoqian was tied up and locked in an iron cage of a wooden house. The wooden house was dim, and only an oil lamp on the wall brought some light, which made Nie Xiaoqian's face look desolate.

All the buildings in Huatao Manor are made of wood. In order to prevent Nie Xiaoqian from escaping through the wall, Ning Wanqiu added this layer of iron cage on the basis of binding his hands and feet.

Despite layers of protection, there was a restless heart that was always thinking about the wooden house. A thin figure penetrated the wall behind the wooden house at the middle of the night and came to the cage where Nie Xiaoqian was imprisoned.

Through the weak light, Nie Xiaoqian saw clearly the appearance of the visitor. It was his nephew, Sun Xiaoshu.

Before coming to Zhejiang, Sun Xiaoshu didn't know that he had the ability to travel through wood. Later, he heard that his aunt often used this trick, and he suspected that he could do it. So on this important night, Sun Xiaoshu came outside the back wall of the wooden house where Nie Xiaoqian was imprisoned. After several attempts, he was able to enter.

In the middle of the night, this person entered in this way, which was really puzzling. Nie Xiaoqian, who was already ashamed, suddenly had a look of surprise on her face: "Aren't you Sun Xiaoshu? Why are you here?"

"Shh, aunt, don't say anything, I'm here to save you." Sun Xiaoshu asked Nie Xiaoqian to be calm, so he quickly took out a key, opened the iron cage, and pulled Nie Xiaoqian out. After a while, he untied the rope on her hands and feet, and said, "Okay, you go quickly."

Nie Xiaoqian did not leave immediately and said in a daze: "Why did you let me go?"

"What else can it be? I said that you are my only relative in this world now. I came to Zhejiang this time to see you, aunt. But I didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, I finally saw you in this way. So, how could I watch you wait for death?"

Nie Xiaoqian felt warm in her heart, but she said with concern: "But, you are theirs after all. If they let me go, what should they do if they know?"

"No, don't worry. When I came out, I searched all the way and didn't find anyone patrolling. I also obtained this key from another room, and it has not been discovered until now. They found that you were gone tomorrow morning, and they would only think that you were escaping by yourself, and I just pretended not to know anything."

"So, would you go with me?"

"This is not OK, aunt, I promised them that after meeting you in Zhejiang, I would become their companions and travel with them. I cannot break my promise. In short, I am already satisfied to do something for my aunt."

Nie Xiaoqian bent down and gently hugged the cute nephew in front of her, and her tone was even more snorted: "Xiaoshu, although I am your aunt in terms of blood, we have never known each other after all. It is only the first time we met today, and we are still hostile. You are willing to give so much for me. My gratitude is really hard to express."

"It's hard to say, so there's no need to say anything." Sun Xiaoshu's eyes reflected a faint fire, and said, "When Dad was alive, he often gave me an example. It's easy to break a branch in his hand, but ten branches would become extremely tough when they were together. Dad said, our tree demon clan, breaking the trunk and the roots, must support each other so that they won't be bullied by outsiders. Aunt, I don't know if my father thinks so just because he is Balaizi, or does the tree demon have this temperament?"

Nie Xiaoqian smiled desolately and said, "Actually, we are all the same. Even the Red Yasha is thinking about your father at the moment of resurrection. Moreover, the first thing she does is to call on her children to hold a banquet to celebrate and enjoy the joy of the family. This is the most precious spiritual wealth of the tree demon. Because of this, once we separate from our relatives, our sense of loneliness will be stronger than that of humans or other monsters... Alas, Xiaoshu, I don't know if we can meet again today after we part with each other?"

"The most important thing at the moment is to leave this place safely. Leave the future things to fate..." As he said that, Sun Xiaoshu gently opened a crack in the door, looked inside and out, and urged, "Auntie, there is no one outside now, so go quickly, otherwise, the longer you stay, the easier it will be to be discovered!"

"Okay, aunt is gone, take care of yourself." Nie Xiaoqian no longer delayed the time, pulled the door open, and ran out, while running, looking around.

Sun Xiaoshu watched Nie Xiaoqian in the house, but before her back had gone far, suddenly, a red light fell from the sky and stopped Nie Xiaoqian.

Sun Xiaoshu was shocked and hurried out of the wooden house and ran towards the direction where the red light was.

As I got closer, I saw clearly that the person who intercepted was not an outsider, but Ning Wanqiu in Liuquan Group.

In fact, since Pu Weihai ordered Nie Xiaoqian to be detained, how could he not arrange reliable people to guard him? Ning Wanqiu was the one who was responsible for guarding Nie Xiaoqian all night. However, he had been lying on the wooden roof so that his eyes could be seen further, and in order to prevent a tree demon from entering the wall from the roof and rescuing Nie Xiaoqian.

Previously, Sun Xiaoshu passed through the back wall of the wooden house, and naturally could not see Ning Wanqiu on the roof. Ning Wanqiu could clearly see Sun Xiaoshu's strange behavior. The reason why he had not appeared and interfered was to see what this kid had. After Sun Xiaoshu's identity as a "traitor" was confirmed, Ning Wanqiu naturally could not indulge Nie Xiaoqian to escape, so he decisively stopped him.

Nie Xiaoqian was full of desire to survive at this moment. When he saw a young man intercepting him, he activated his demonic energy to fight him. However, although Nie Xiaoqian had a unique ability, he was far from Ning Wanqiu's opponent in single combat. After three rounds, he was knocked to the ground by Ning Wanqiu and stepped on his feet.

When he saw Sun Xiaoshu appear, Ning Wanqiu teased deliberately: "Oh, it turns out that he is my own person? You are here just in time. Nie Xiaoqian is about to escape, but I have caught him. Go to the house and find the rope. I will tie the banshee."

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Sun Xiaoshu did not dare to lie, so he immediately beg for mercy and said, "Brother Ning, I let my aunt go. You are good at it, can you let her have a way out?"

Ning Wanqiu sneered: "She is the enemy of all of us. Mr. Pu wishes to get rid of her and get out of here, but you want to let her go? You are so brave!"

"Sun Xiaoshu, what did you say? I ran away by myself!" At the foot, Nie Xiaoqian saw that Ning Wanqiu was tough and had no hope for him. She just wanted to protect her nephew, and shouted at Ning Wanqiu: "Your name is Ning Wanqiu, right? I do things one by one, and I will kill and cut you at your disposal, but this doesn't matter to him!"

"Hmph, I'm here at midnight at midnight. You know better than me what this kid did!" Ning Wanqiu said to Sun Xiaoshu again, "But I didn't call anyone, and it's also a last chance. For the sake of you saving Zhang Dahui, if you find a rope, catch Nie Xiaoqian back in the cage, and redeem your sins, I'll think that everything has not happened. Otherwise, the truth will be revealed, and everyone's faces will probably not look good tomorrow morning!"

"Let my aunt go!" Xiaoshu had only aunt in his heart, and he didn't care much about it. He actually activated the demonic power and attacked Ning Wanqiu.

Seeing that Sun Xiaoshu was stubborn, Ning Wanqiu sighed, and maintained the posture of trampling on Nie Xiaoqian with his right foot, and started to play with Sun Xiaoshu.

Sun Xiaoshu also had an average combat ability, and was quickly hit by Ning Wanqiu with a palm.

Ning Wanqiu stretched out his right hand, grabbed Sun Xiaoshu in the air again, and shouted: "Sun Xiaoshu, don't make me embarrassed!"

Sun Xiaoshu was dancing in the air, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and his heart was cut. After struggling for a while, he screamed repeatedly. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly turned pale and looked dazed. Then, a huge demonic aura in his body seemed to suddenly awaken, and came towards Ning Wanqiu like a storm! Ning Wanqiu's body was blown back by this demonic aura, almost unable to hold on to the balance. He said in surprise: "What's going on? You kid, you actually hide such a huge demonic power!" He had no choice but to relax his hand and let Sun Xiaoshu land on the ground.

Sun Xiaoshu regained his freedom and his mind. The huge demonic power disappeared without a trace. However, he was still unwilling to give up, and another vine stretched out from his body and attacked Ning Wanqiu's waist.

Ning Wanqiu couldn't tell how much strength Sun Xiaoshu still had. Worried about being injured, he finally raised his foot that was stepping on Nie Xiaoqian and dodged sideways.

The vines failed to entangle Ning Wanqiu, but simply brushed over his waist and knocked off his belt.

The belt then dispersed, and a white cloth floated out. The white cloth swayed in the air and finally landed in front of Nie Xiaoqian.

Under the red light, Nie Xiaoqian was surprised to see that a seven-character quatrain was written on the white cloth, and the contents of it were just a brief glance and it had already touched his heartstrings:

Ten miles of flat lake full of frost

A sad year of green hair

Looking at each other in a single moon

I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals

This song "Ten Miles of Pinghu" was the token of love that Ning Caichen made for me when he married me. Moreover, this old white cloth was the one that year, and this handwriting was also the original work of Ning Caichen!

Nie Xiaoqian's mind was in chaos. She picked up the white cloth, stood up, and shouted to Ning Wanqiu: "Why is this thing here with you? Ning Wanqiu, who are you? Ning..."

After repeatedly reading this surname, Nie Xiaoqian finally realized something, opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe that this was reality.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Ning Wanqiu had no choice but to respond: "Yes, Nie Xiaoqian, I am the descendant of you and Ning Caichen. To be precise, you are your great-grandson, but so what?"

When Sun Xiaoshu learned about Ning Wanqiu's identity, he was also very shocked. As a result, the opponent in front of him, even if he was a few years older than him, he was only his junior. So he begged regardless of his seniority: "Brother Ning, since we are all from a big family, please let my aunt go!"

"Hmph, sorry, I don't have the sad idea of ​​group leadership like you. Since ancient times, good and evil have not yet stood together, and father and son may have faced each other, let alone a demon who has never been masked?"

For Ning Wanqiu, only heroic deeds are what he wants.

At this moment, Nie Xiaoqian was already in deep sorrow and regret, unable to extricate herself, and said with tears in her eyes: "I finally found my relatives, but I have to fight each other so hard? Well, late autumn, I, Nie Xiaoqian, can die at your subordinates, and I, Nie Xiaoqian, have no regrets."

After hearing this, Ning Wanqiu softened and felt a little at a loss: "Ah? I was just ordered to guard you, and I didn't plan to kill you..."

"Then don't stop me and let me go!"

"That's not OK! I beg you, don't force me anymore! Nie Xiaoqian, I advise you to cooperate with us and help the Pu family find Hongyasha and Jenny. I promise that after getting rid of Hongyasha, I will also beg the Pu family's father and son to give you a way out."

Nie Xiaoqian ignored it, looked up at the night, sighed and murmured: "God, how many years do you have to torture me?"

The three of them were in a stalemate outside the hut. It was just when they made a decision on the chaotic scene, and suddenly the storm changed again.

A ball of sky-blue rectangular aura suddenly flew into the air. Before the three of them could react, they had already hit Nie Xiaoqian in the back.

Nie Xiaoqian was not hurt, but her whole body suddenly felt like acupuncture was lit and she lost control again: "I... why can't I move?"

Ning Wanqiu immediately understood this scene and looked towards the direction where the spiritual energy flew over, but saw that the night was pitch black.
