Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 242 The Clever Playboy

"Young Miss, you're awake?" Ning Xingchen immediately jogged over to her and circled her twice. "Are you alright?"

"What kind of question do you want me to ask?" Yunyi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I heard from Doctor Wang that you've been unconscious for three or four days. What exactly happened?" Ning Xingchen asked, looking puzzled.

"I was just exhausted from treating the two kids, plus I was frightened at Tianyi Temple and Tianyi Village before, so I was in a coma for a few days, which scared everyone."

Ning Xingchen frowned: "I don't believe a word you say."

"Fine, don't believe me then." Yun Yi shrugged. "But you, now that you're back, has everything been taken care of over there?"

Ning Xingchen suddenly fell silent, then began to stroll back and forth with his hands behind his back, just like an old man taking a walk.

Yunyi frowned and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

"Miss Fang, Boss Yun, have you ever seen a village suddenly disappear all at once?"

"What?" Yunyi's brows furrowed even more. "Gone all of a sudden?"

"Hmm." Ning Xingchen nodded. "You have no idea, it was really scary. Take Tianyi Village, for example. After you left, I led people to surround it, but that so-called fairy maiden ran away, right? So we could only capture the other people. But not long after, the ground started to shake. I hurriedly led people out, and before long, the entire village sank underground, as if it had never existed. I had people dig very deep, but there was nothing down there."

Yunyi fell silent. If she could travel through time and have a system and a space, then others must also have superpowers. It's just that making such a vast land reverse is a great supernatural power, right? Then she summoned Sixteen.

As it turned out, Sixteen failed to respond again.

"Brother Yun, do you think... there really could be..." Ning Xingchen suddenly lowered his voice, pointed to the sky, "...immortals?"

"I don't know." Yunyi shook her head. She had been a deity before, but when she was a human, she had never actually seen a deity.

“Forget it, I knew you probably didn’t know either.” Ning Xingchen sighed. “And what’s even more amazing is that I sent someone to ask in a nearby village, but the people there couldn’t remember if there was even a village there. You tell me…” He waved his hand and said, “Forget it, this kind of thing can only be left as an unsolved mystery. I’ve already sent a letter back, and I have to go back immediately.”

"You're leaving already? I thought you were coming. You should at least go see your good friends, right?"

"Good buddy? Who is that?"

"Bai An, the second young master of the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Ning Xingchen's lips twitched. When did that thing become his good partner?

"I remember back then you two were vying for the same courtesan, and he even offered to let you go first, how generous of him! But then it turned out he just liked married women, so didn't you end up with one and he with the other? And then..."

"Alright, Miss, stop talking." Ning Xingchen hurriedly waved her hand. "Please stop, okay? I'm begging you, I owe you a favor, okay?"

Yunyi then shut up.

“But since you’ve said it…” Ning Xingchen suddenly touched his chin, “Well, since I’m already here, I really should go and see him. After all, I heard he’s in a pretty bad situation.” He then leaned closer to Yun Yi, “Tell me the truth, was it your doing? I asked Old Man Wang, but he didn’t say.”

"Then guess?"

"I..." Ning Xingchen choked for a moment, then waved his hand, "Never mind, let's get down to business."

"None of that was important, was it?" Yunyi's lips twitched.

"I wanted to ask you, when are you going back to Beijing?"

Yunyi took a deep breath: "We need a trigger, at least someone from the Fang family needs to come and beg me to go back."

"That's a bit difficult, isn't it?"

"It all depends on human effort."

Ning Xingchen's eyes flashed: "You've arranged for someone in the capital?"

"Such a clever playboy isn't fun."

Ning Xingchen's face inexplicably flushed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Alright, if you want to go, then go quickly. After all, it's quite a long way from here to Tianyang City."

"My sister..."

"Hasn't the princess's ointment already been sent back? The previous box was used up and the swelling started to fade a lot. After using this box, it will be completely healed, and the skin will be even better than before." Yunyi reminded her, "By the way, I also reminded you that you can't drink alcohol while using the medicine, so don't be careless."

"I know that. My mother read the precautions many times and also gave instructions to Wushuang and the people around her."

"That's good." Yunyi nodded. "In short, it's best to go out as little as possible before you completely stop taking the medication, and try to decline all kinds of banquets if possible."

With the New Year approaching, Ning Wushuang, as a role model among the noble ladies of the capital, is usually very busy, either attending banquets in the palace or receiving invitations from various high-ranking families, some of which she can decline but others are difficult to refuse.

“My mother also said that she won’t publicize the fact that Wushuang’s face is good, so it’s not a problem to decline.” Ning Xingchen nodded. “However, I will write another letter back to specifically remind her.”

Yunyi waved her hand and walked out.

Ning Xingchen then greeted Xia Songshi and left, leading his people to Tianyang City.

Yunyi went to Baihu Mountain, but she hadn't been back for only half a month, so I almost didn't recognize her.

Mo Li, despite the dead of winter, had his sleeves rolled up, seemingly unaffected by the cold. He was now giving orders to everyone with a strong voice: "Put that stone over there, yes, move it two inches to the right, yes, just like that, don't move it."

"What are you doing?" Yunyi walked over and stood next to Moli. "Setting up an array?"

"Girl, you're here?" Mo Li was delighted to see Yun Yi. "Do you recognize this formation?"

"The Eight Trigrams Formation?"

"That's right." Mo Li slapped his thigh. "That girl is smart."

What are you doing setting up this formation?

“Of course it’s for defense.” Mo Li looked at Yun Yi as if she were an idiot. “This will be our base from now on, so we naturally need to build up the defenses.”

"A base?" Yunyi was even more confused. What kind of base could this mountain be?

“Young lady,” Old Quan walked over, “the senior said he wanted to build a mountain villa here.”

Yunyi looked at Moli: "You..."

"No need to thank me, just hurry up and think of a name and pay me the money." Mo Li waved his hand magnanimously.

Yunyi was so angry she laughed: "Did I agree to that?"

Why don't you agree?

"I……"

"See, you can't give me a reason to disagree, can you? After all, I, the dignified leader of the martial arts alliance, am helping you build a house. You should be secretly happy." Mo Li had a "you're taking advantage of me" look on his face. "Just hurry up and think of a name, and then take out tens of thousands of taels of silver first."
