The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chu Ning'an took it without even glancing at it before handing it over to Anying. He then said, "We promised Yueying that as long as Fengying wanted to, we would allow her to redeem her freedom anytime and anywhere. Now, let's return this indenture to its original owner."

Hearing this, Feng Ying suddenly looked anxious and hurriedly spoke to explain something: "Young Master, I..." However, before she could finish her words, Chu Ning'an waved his sleeves and gestured to stop her from saying the next words.

Chu Ning'an once again turned his gaze to Anying and said solemnly, "Ruyue is indeed in urgent need of a powerful and trustworthy person to protect her. So even if Fengying stays, she still has the important mission of protecting Ruyue. However, Fengying's presence with us can be considered as carrying out a mission. During this period, she has the right to leave at any time. This is not only the freedom we grant her, but also a token of our respect for your care and protection of my sister."

Shadow's eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at Chu Ning'an, his face filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that Chu Ning'an could come up with such an arrangement! For him and Feng Ying, this was undoubtedly the best solution they could think of. As time passed, Shadow's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the wall of defense he had erected began to slowly collapse.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This Chu Ning'an is truly extraordinary! He could so easily dispel the resentment and concerns deep in his heart. Now that he owes such a great favor, he's afraid it will be difficult to repay it in the future.

Fengying on the side blinked his big watery eyes, looking pitiful, and pleaded, "Brother, please let me stay." His voice was full of earnestness and desire.

At this moment, Shadow didn't know how to respond. After all, Chu Ning'an had already said so much. If he continued to pester him and refused to give in, he would be considered as someone who was taking advantage of the situation.

So, he took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, bowed to Chu Ning'an, and said sincerely: "Then I'll have to trouble you two to take care of my sister."

Seeing that Shadow had finally agreed, Chu Ning'an felt relieved. He turned to look at Ru Yue beside him and said soothingly, "The Shadow Sect Master is so nervous because he loves his sister. Please stop taking this matter to heart and let it get to you, okay?"

Ru Yue first cast her gaze towards An Ying, then towards Chu Ning'an. She slowly reached into her sleeve pocket and groped around. After a moment, she pulled out a small, dark brown pill and gently handed it to Chu Ning'an, saying softly, "Just swallow it. The poison will dissipate in about a quarter of an hour."

Seeing this, Fengying, who was standing aside, hurried forward, carefully took the pill from Ruyue's hand, and then gently put it into his elder brother's mouth.

After swallowing the pill successfully, Fengying turned to look at Anying, his eyes filled with concern and determination. He said solemnly, "Brother, don't worry! This time, I will definitely follow the young lady closely to carry out the mission. And you should know that the young lady has many businesses in the capital. She will definitely come here often to handle business in the future. Naturally, I will also find opportunities to come back and visit you and Sister Yueying from time to time."

Shadow stared silently at his sister, whom he had grown up with, knowing full well that this arrangement was the most appropriate one for now. He wasn't one to waver, so he kept his mouth shut. He simply said earnestly, "Fengying, be extremely cautious while out there. Take good care of yourself. If you encounter an unmanageable emergency, remember to contact Shadow Sect immediately. Don't take any chances."

At this moment, Shadow felt the strength he had lost earlier slowly returning to his body. He took a deep breath, stabilizing his breathing. Then, he cupped his hands, bowed slightly to Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an, and thanked them sincerely, "Sorry to bother you! Goodbye!"

After saying this, he turned around and strode out of the study. His figure quickly blended into the boundless night and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
