Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Something Big Must Be Happening Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Something Big Must Be Happening Family Head Luo thought about it as well, Luo Ning’s nature was indeed too wild.
Letting the people of the Lei Family teach her a lesson or two, to make her restrain herself a bit, would be good.
His wife was also right, Luo Ning was his second son’s biological daughter, his granddaughter as Family Head.
Even if she hadn’t yet been acknowledged by the Luo Family, as long as the Lei Family didn’t harbor the intention to forge a deadly feud, they wouldn’t possibly go too far.
“Alright, I’ll have someone pay attention to her news within the Lei Family.”
Lady Luo then nodded, “Once she comes out from the Lei Family, consider arranging for her exile from the island.”
Recently, the people from all the great ancient Fengshui Families probably haven’t stopped laughing at the Luo Family.
That wild girl, it would be best to send her away from the island sooner rather than later to save some face.
The eldest daughter-in-law was right, girls from outside were tough to tame, they needed to suffer some setbacks to learn their lesson.
I hope this time in the Lei Family she gets taught a lesson and swiftly returns to the mainland, that might also spare her from some frustration.
Family Head Luo also didn’t know how to deal with his granddaughter Luo Ning, and he agreed, “Alright, once she comes out from the Lei Family, I’ll find a way to send her away.”
Anyway, now wasn’t the time to acknowledge kinship, and that girl didn’t recognize them either.
Over at the Lei Family, someone deliberately hindered the news.
Plus, after Lei Qiu led the people back, fearing scolding from the family elders, he also told his entourage not to spread the word for the time being.
Lei Qiu planned to quietly ship the people off the island after Luo Ning and Luo Ranran emerged from the Snake Cave.
Because of this, the clan elders and upper echelon of the Lei Family truly had no idea about Luo Ning’s arrival.
At dinner time in the evening.
That entourage of Lei Qiu told the guard of the Snake Cave to go and have a meal; he would take over the watch.
Thinking that this was the young master’s man, there shouldn’t be any issue, the guard left.
Once he made sure the man had gone, he stole a flute, and according to an audio clip sent to his phone, he began to play.
After finishing, a look of fierce and excited anticipation shone in his eyes.
If this move worked out, huge benefits awaited him.
Deep inside the Snake Cave, Luo Ning and Luo Ranran heard the flute again.
Luo Ning quirked her lips, “That guy finally made a move.”
“What signal is this?” Luo Ranran, already used to seeing snakes slither and stare, excitedly asked.
They had walked most of the day without encountering any treasures; it seemed they needed to do as Brother Ning suggested, and search within the horde of venomous snakes.
Luo Ning replied, “It’s the signal for the venomous snakes to launch an attack.”
She took out a talisman pen from her bag and drew two talismans.
She wore one and stuffed the other one into Luo Ranran’s hands.
“With this talisman, you won’t be attacked by venomous snakes.”
Luo Ranran’s eyes lit up as she took the talisman, “Brother Ning is mighty; you can actually draw top-grade talismans.”
Luo Ning laughed lightly, “I owe it all to the Super Supreme Vermilion I won at the Lou Family, otherwise I’d be a skilled woman unable to cook without rice.”
Luo Ranran’s face brimmed with laughter, reveling in schadenfreude, “I can just imagine my father’s distressed look, haha…”
“If you can in the future, swindle more good stuff from the Lou Family.”
The battle had been led by her after all.
Those clan elders of the Lou Family, wanting to regain face, really fell for it, each putting up valuable items as gambling stakes.
Then they came full of superiority and arrogance to challenge Brother Ning, only to end up like defeated roosters, losing miserably.
The old men were especially pained by the gambled stakes they lost, which was extremely satisfying to watch.
Luo Ning shrugged, “I reckon the people from the Lou Family won’t be fooled again.”
Two days had passed, and she had battled with more than twenty members of the Lou Family. She had beaten them all.
Unless the clan elders of the Lou Family decided to emerge from their seclusion, no one else would be so foolish as to volunteer to deliver gifts to their doorstep.
Luo Ranran thought about it too and agreed, “It’s a pity those clan elders don’t come out easily. Otherwise, those old folks would have some really nice things on their hands.”
Luo Ning couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “You have that much confidence in me? Those clan elders are probably not simple characters. I might lose, you know.”
Her strength was indeed formidable now, having experienced multiple Little Worlds and accumulating a wealth of experience in battles.
But she never underestimates the people from these Ancient Fengshui Families who held the fort.
There was always someone better, and being cautious was never wrong.
Luo Ranran said with a smile, “I don’t know why, but I just believe you’ll win.”
“It’s just wishful thinking, though. The clan elders won’t come out. It’s a shame.”
There would be other opportunities in the future to cooperate with Luo Ning to devise a plan against those clan elders for their treasures.
The two of them chatted as they continued walking forward.
Lei Qiu hadn’t slept well the night before and had gone to the Snake Cave early in the morning to inquire if Luo Ning and her companion had sent out a distress signal.
The guards and the attendant both said no.
The attendant duped Lei Qiu, saying that Luo Ning and her companion might loiter around the cave entrance for a couple of days to save face, waiting for Lei Qiu to let them out.
Lei Qiu thought there was some sense to this, so he instructed the men to keep watch and left again.
Two days later, Lei Qiu was originally planning to pick up Luo Ning and her companion and then send them off the island.
But his parents had held him up with a lunch invitation, and after the meal, they even asked him about recent events.
As he was preoccupied with finding a way to slip away, he suddenly heard that the guards from the Snake Cave were asking to see him.
Lei Qiu had a bad feeling about this.
Could something have happened to Luo Ning and Luo Ranran?
This would be big trouble, and to make matters worse, he really didn’t want them dead!
Those daring women, too. Face was a small matter; Fate was the big deal. Asking for help wouldn’t have been such a big deal.
When he saw the guard come in, Lei Qiu eagerly rushed to ask, “What happened at the Snake Cave?”
The guard hurriedly replied, “The snakes have rioted.”
Lei Lifei, who was leisurely drinking tea, paused for a moment and asked seriously, “What happened?”
The guard’s eyes drifted towards Lei Qiu, “Well, that, that…”
Lei Lifei could see the guard glancing at his youngest son and his expression darkened, “Speak up, what exactly happened?”
The guard then reported truthfully, “Two days ago, the young master brought back two women and asked us to let them into the Snake Cave. He even had his attendant stand guard outside.”
“Who would have thought that today, the young master’s attendant would suddenly go mad, seize the flute that controls the Snake Cave, and blow it chaotically, causing the nest to riot.”
“The two women the young master brought have not come out, and it’s unknown if they’re still alive.”
The unexpected flute snatching and random blowing had startled them all.
After they had subdued the man, the Snake Cave erupted into chaos. Knowing that something significant must have happened, they didn’t dare to conceal it and rushed to report immediately.
Lei Lifei hadn’t expected the riot in the Snake Cave to have been instigated by his youngest son.
A possibility suddenly came to his mind, and he looked at Lei Qiu, “You didn’t bring Luo Ning and Luo Ranran back, did you?”
Lei Qiu saw the displeasure on his father’s face and shrank his neck involuntarily, “Dad, you’re really sharp, guessing it right away.”
“Bang!” Lei Lifei slammed his hand on the table, glaring at Lei Qiu with a furious expression, “Sharp my ass.”
“Is it really Luo Ning and Luo Ranran?” he asked again, unable to stop himself, wanting confirmation.
Lei Qiu braced himself and replied, “Yes, it is.”
Suddenly, Lei Lifei felt an impulse to plaster his son against the wall.
“You unfilial son, how could you bring Luo Ning and Luo Ranran here and send them into the Snake Cave?”
