Chapter 1583: Hierarch-level bodyguard (3)
Translator: 549690339
Ning Hai’s match was the same as the previous day. There was not much suspense. If his opponent admitted defeat, he would advance directly.
As for Ning Shan’s match, because his opponent’s strength was above his, many people thought that he would stop at the family competition, and the truth was similar to their guess. Who knew that at the last moment, Ning Shan would make a huge reversal. He burned all of his divine power as the price and finally won against his opponent and advanced. This price also caused Ning Shan to be seriously injured. His opponent could not participate in the next competition because of his severe injuries.
After Ningshan’s match ended, Leng ruoxue brought the grapes and lotus seeds to the contestants ‘seats.
At this time, Ning Shan had already taken the healing pill given by his family and was lying on the bench. Ning Hai was guarding him at the side, and a few contestants were staring at them with unfriendly expressions.
When he saw Leng ruoxue walking over, Ning Shan struggled to get up.
“Don’t move!” Leng ruoxue said with slight displeasure.
“Big sister ruoxue.” Ning Shan could tell that Leng ruoxue did not seem too happy, so he did not dare to move.
“Shan ‘er! Do you know what you did wrong?” Leng ruoxue checked on Ning Shan’s injuries and asked with a straight face. Ning Shan’s injuries were very serious, and many of his meridians were broken. Even if he had taken healing pills, it was impossible to completely heal his injuries. The main reason was that the grade of the pill was low, and his injuries were too severe. In order to completely heal his injuries, he would need a healing pill that was at least a high-grade divine pill. And those were hard to come by, so the ning family would naturally not let them use it so easily.
After all, even though they were quite talented, the ning family had no lack of young talents. Unless they were as talented as ning haolan, this family competition would most likely be their final stage.
The competition was cruel, but the competition was even crueler. This was a competition to select the elites of the ning family. Those who could survive until the end were naturally the elites among the elites, and any elite had gone through countless fights and battlefields, through the glint and flash of blades and swords. Although the ning family forbade people from killing each other, this rule was obviously not applicable in the competition, because what the ning family needed was true talent, not an embroidered pillow that only had a false appearance.
In this family competition, only the final winner would be remembered by the family. As for the losers, they naturally had their own paths to walk. However, the premise was that they still had the opportunity to serve the family. For someone like Ning Shan, even if he won, he would probably be abandoned because of his severe injuries. His opponent’s outcome would be even more miserable.
“Sister ruoxue, I know I was wrong. But I didn’t think too much at that time. I just wanted to win that competition.” Ning Shan understood Leng ruoxue’s meaning and knew that his actions were too reckless. Furthermore, not only were his injuries too severe, but he had also caused his opponent to lose the chance to compete.
Looking at his opponent who was lying on the ground weakly, Ning Shan felt very guilty. He had his brother to take care of him when he was injured, but his opponent was all alone. Even his family had given up on him. This made him feel that the world was cold and the human heart was cold.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more guilty and uneasy. His opponent’s injuries were more serious than his, and it was likely that he would become a cripple in the future. This would also become a worry that would accompany him for the rest of his life.
Seeing that Ning Shan’s expression was getting darker and darker, Leng ruoxue knew that the time was right. She then slowly opened her mouth and said,””Shan ‘er, you’re still young. You shouldn’t place so much importance on the gains and losses of a match. Besides, it’s not like you don’t have a chance anymore, so there’s no need to use that method of yours that would hurt both yourself and your enemy. You know, because of your competitiveness, not only did you stop in the competition, you even harmed your opponent. He’s only your opponent in the competition, not your mortal enemy. You really shouldn’t …”
Leng ruoxue had only finished half of her sentence, but she knew that Shan ‘er would understand what she meant. Shan’ er’s opponent was not a despicable person and had always followed the rules during the competition. Furthermore, his strength was indeed above Shan ‘er’ s. However, he probably did not expect Shan ‘er to go all out and use that desperate attack. Hence, he was not mentally prepared and was injured to the point of dying.
In fact, according to her thoughts, Shan ‘er’s opponent wasn’t without problems. At least, she didn’t estimate her opponent well enough. Although this was only a family competition, any situation could happen. She even thought that there might be some contestants who had been bribed to do things that would harm others and harm themselves. These situations should have been thought of before the competition and taken precautions in advance, just in case.
However, she did not know Shan ‘er’s opponent, so she naturally had no obligation to teach others. She only wanted Shan’ er to understand that victory was not the only result. Most importantly, she had to know how to judge the situation. Blindly showing off her courage and ruthlessness would only lead to her losing her life early.
“Sister ruoxue, I … I will take care of him in the future.” Ning Shan lowered his head and said in embarrassment.
“Silly boy, even if you want to take care of me, I don’t necessarily need you to take care of me! Come, eat this. ” As Leng ruoxue spoke, she took out a healing pill and passed it to Ning Shan.
Ning Shan looked at the milky-white pill that was glowing and knew that it was not an ordinary pill. Furthermore, it was of a higher grade than the one he had just eaten. Thinking of this, Ning Shan handed the pill to Ning Hai and said,””Big brother! Let him eat this pill!”
“Alright!” Ning Hai looked at his brother and was very pleased. He took the pill and walked over to Ning Shan’s opponent, stuffing the pill into his mouth. This matter started because of Ning Shan, so it was understandable for Shan ‘er to give the pill to his opponent. Therefore, he agreed with this.
“Sister ruoxue, you won’t blame me, right?” Ning Shan said somewhat embarrassedly after presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers.
“What’s the use of blaming you? you’ve given it all to someone else!” Leng ruoxue said with a straight face on purpose.
“Sister ruoxue!” Ning Shan could tell that Leng ruoxue was angry. He looked at Leng ruoxue with red eyes, feeling wronged. He, he did not want to live in uneasiness for the rest of his life, so he would rather his own injuries not be cured than for anything to happen to her. Otherwise, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Seeing tears welling up in Ning Shan’s eyes and his aggrieved look, Leng ruoxue could not help but burst out laughing. Seeing this, grape and lotus seed also laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Ning Shan felt even more aggrieved. Boohoo … They were really bullying him. They actually laughed at him.
“You really are a silly boy. My family’s young miss is an Alchemist, and what she doesn’t lack the least is medicinal pills. Why are you still acting pitiful?” Grape said with a smile.
“Argh! “Sister ruoxue, then my injury …” Ning Shan came to his senses and looked at Leng ruoxue with anticipation. His expression was like that of a dog who wanted to please its master, his eyes sparkling.
