Chapter 152 - 152 Bargain
152 Bargain
“Hurry up and move aside! Can’t you see that Young Master is angry?!” Another voice sounded. It was the one Kong Rui had heard in Nie Yin’s room earlier.
The guards outside didn’t listen to Nie Yin’s instructions. Instead, they guarded the door dutifully.
“Young Master, please forgive me. The First Elder has instructed that no one is allowed to enter this room without his orders!”
Nie Yin’s voice sounded even more irritable. “Do you think my words are not as authoritative as the First Elder’s? Or is the First Elder planning something while I’m not around?”
“I wouldn’t dare to!” The guard immediately replied, but he had no intention of backing down.
The other person seemed to be trying to cause trouble. He continued, “The future Young Master of the Nie family will be in charge, and the First Elder is only a support role. You have to think carefully about who you want to listen to!”
Kong Rui and Chao Bai exchanged looks. They knew that Nie Yin and Nie Lin probably had some grudges, and this person was clearly trying to sow discord between the two of them.
One of the guards immediately replied, “Mr. Cong, you don’t have to sow discord between the First Elder and Young Master. We will naturally listen to Young Master’s orders, but we still have to wait for the First Elder to return and report to him before we can do anything!”
When Kong Rui heard this, she knew that this guard was definitely the First Elder’s trusted aide. Moreover, he was probably the leader among these guards.
When Nie Yin heard the guard’s words, he snorted. “The First Elder has trained you to be so eloquent! I’ll go back first. Get the First Elder to come to my courtyard later!”
After Nie Yin finished speaking, footsteps sounded.
The voice of the person called Mr. Cong sounded again. “Young Master, wait for me! Young Master!”
The sound of running footsteps gradually faded into the distance. Kong Rui didn’t intend to pay attention to the internal conflicts of the Nie family, but from Nie Yin’s words, he must have just returned from the palace.
Kong Rui wondered how Wen Qiong was doing.
Kong Rui frowned slightly, as if she had something on her mind.
Seeing Kong Rui like this, Chao Bai waved his hand in front of her and asked, “What are you worried about? We can definitely get out!”
Kong Rui came back to her senses and looked at Chao Bai. “I’m not thinking about leaving this place. I’m worried…”
“What are you worried about?” Chao Bai continued to look at Kong Rui in confusion. “Don’t worry, we’re very safe here!”
“It’s not that!” Kong Rui was instantly frustrated.
“Then are you worried that Nie Lin won’t die?” Chao Bai asked again.
Kong Rui suddenly felt speechless. She was worried that the person who killed Wen Qiong wouldn’t be her!
However, Kong Rui didn’t plan to tell Chao Bai about this. With her understanding of Chao Bai, he would definitely help her kill Wen Qiong!
She didn’t want that!
She had to kill Wen Qiong with her own hands!
Killing intent flashed in Kong Rui’s eyes.
Before she could restrain the killing intent in her eyes, the guard’s voice came from outside the door again. “First Elder!”
Kong Rui and Chao Bai exchanged looks and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
Obviously, Chao Bai didn’t expect Nie Lin to be so quick. It seemed that Nie Yin had come straight here because of this!
The door to the room opened again. Nie Lin walked into the room, followed by more than ten guards carrying a few boxes.
“The spirit stones you want are all here! I’ll give you three days to get the antidote!”
Chao Bai stood up and walked to the surrounding boxes. He checked them one by one before saying, “These spirit stones are of different grades. I’m afraid three days won’t do!”
Nie Lin frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer.
He gritted his teeth and asked, “How long will you need?”
