Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 145 Jin Shanshan

"Ms. Ning, we investigated Ji Wuchen, and he can provide an alibi. We also didn't find any problems with the other suspects. I'm afraid this matter will have to be left unresolved." The case officer from the Supervisory Department said apologetically.

It was because the person involved was Ning Xuan, who was a very valuable talent, and finally had the attention of a big power, that they were able to get two departments involved in the investigation based on just this blurry video. However, the clues were really limited, and they could not investigate further.

"I understand. Thank you for your help." Ning Xuan had known for a long time that there was little hope of finding the results, but she was not very disappointed.

Ning Xuan went to class as usual. She was still considering whether she should test Ji Wuchen's purpose in approaching her if he approached her again. However, Ji Wuchen did not try to approach her after they met by chance several times, but avoided her from a distance.

On the contrary, on Huangfu Xinyue's side, there is a little sister named Jin Shanshan, who seems to like the courses in the Equipment Refining Department very much. Every time Ning Xuan goes to the Equipment Refining Department classroom for class, she can meet Jin Shanshan. At the beginning, Jin Shanshan arrived late and looked around in the classroom. When she saw Ning Xuan, her eyes lit up and she ran to the seat near Ning Xuan to listen to the class. Jin Shanshan has outstanding looks, lively personality, and a faint fragrance on her body. She talked to Ning Xuan enthusiastically, and Ning Xuan was embarrassed to ignore her. After a few visits, the two of them got to know each other.

One day, Jin Shanshan returned to the Jin family after class. It was already late.

The Jin family's courtyard is not in the main city, but in the eastern part of the city in the Central Star District 1. The courtyard is deep and surrounded by high walls. There are two dragon-shaped stone sculptures in front of the gate. A stone plaque with the words "Jin Mansion" written on it is vigorous and imposing.

The man-made pavilions and towers in the yard are arranged in an orderly manner, and rockery and flowing water are dotted in between, which looks very elegant.

She crossed the front yard and headed straight for the main hall. The hall was brightly lit, its floor covered with a thick brocade carpet. In the center stood a large carved rosewood table, laden with exquisite tea sets and fruit plates. Several attendants stood with their hands down, and upon seeing Jin Shanshan enter, they all bowed their heads in greeting.

As Jin Shanshan entered the hall, the head of the Jin family hurried out from the inner room. He looked to be in his 50s, dressed in a dark robe, and looked refined and elegant. The Jin family looked around and saw that the servants in the hall were all the young master's men. He knelt without hesitation, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "This old servant greets the young master."

Jin Shanshan gently raised her hand, motioning him to stand up, and then walked to the center of the hall. Two servants came to serve him. One took off his lady's outer skirt and put on a men's robe. The other servant walked to his side and took off the wig on his head, revealing his long silver-blue hair. Then he took off a layer of mask as thin as a cicada's wing from his face, revealing his original face. Then he took out several star-patterned rings, knelt on the ground and put them on each of his fingers one by one. The moment he put on the rings, his temperament suddenly changed. The gentle and soft beauty that originally belonged to a woman disappeared, replaced by a cold and noble aura.

Ji Wuchen sat on the main chair in the hall, gently stroking his ring with a deep look in his eyes. The last time he visited Ning Xuan's mansion at night, he used the Star Pattern Chain but failed to get the job done. He couldn't understand why there was someone around Ning Xuan who could see through the shielding of the Star Pattern Chain. He also didn't know where that person came from and why he was following Ning Xuan?

The failure of the night visit made Ji Wuchen more certain of his guess that Ning Xuan was of divine blood. He didn't dare to try the night visit again and had to think of another way.

He discovered that Ning Xuan was exceptionally tolerant and generous towards women, completely lacking her usual aloofness. She was also much less wary of women. So, he disguised himself as Jin Shanshan, using this identity to get closer to Ning Xuan. The Jin family was single-handedly supported by the Master of the Wanxiang Galaxy, and the Master was a servant of the Master. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse Ji Wuchen's request. He secretly sent his granddaughter to another star region for training overnight, forbidding her to use any means of communication to contact friends or send signals.

"Young Master, is everything going well? Is there anything I can do for you?" the head of the Jin family asked cautiously.

"No need, just take good care of your granddaughter. Make sure she doesn't make any noise during this period. You can go down." Ji Wuchen said coldly.

The head of the Jin family didn't dare to say anything more and quickly took his leave.

Outside the window, the night deepened, and the moonlight shone on the rockery in the courtyard, casting a cold glow. Ji Wuchen stood in front of the window for a long time, motionless, immersed in his own thoughts, frowning and sighing, as if he was troubled by a difficult decision.

At the same time, Ning Xuan was practicing alone in the practice room at home. Orange flames were jumping around her, black and red vines covered the entire room, and a fiery red bird was tumbling and jumping above her head. Outside, if the energy detection was turned on, it could be detected that the underground fire energy of the entire Qingluan Mountain was converging towards Ning Xuan's location.

Di Youlin quietly slipped into the training room. Although the intelligent protection system could not stop Di Youlin, he was discovered by the vines as soon as he entered the training room. With Di Youlin's strength, it would be easy for him to avoid the attack of the vines. However, he knew that the vines were Ning Xuan's pet plants, and the vines' perceptions would be conveyed to Ning Xuan in real time, so he did not resist and surrendered.

After Ning Xuan finished her exercise, she opened her eyes and saw Di Youlin, whose ankles were tied with vines and hanging upside down from the beam.

Di Youlin's hair looked particularly alluring in the dimly lit training room. It was neither pure black nor bright gold, but a mysterious hue somewhere in between, its sheen shifting in different ways depending on the light. His hair hung in a messy heap, obscuring half of his stern features but not his narrow, long, phoenix eyes.

The corners of his eyes were raised, and when he didn't speak or smile, his face was cold and solemn, he looked sharp and arrogant, as if nothing in the world was worthy of making him bow his head.

However, when his gaze fell on Ning Xuan, the sharpness in his phoenix eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a sparkling watery look, revealing unconditional dependence and submission. This contrast made Ning Xuan feel indescribably satisfied psychologically, and she couldn't help but want to bully him.

Ning Xuan slowly stood up, her gaze fixed on Di Youlin, who was dangling upside down from the beams by vines. He looked as if he had been ravaged by the vines, his clothes already tattered and torn, his white robe ripped into strips, revealing his sturdy and well-proportioned body. Beneath the bloodstained robe, the lines of his muscular body were faintly visible, every inch of his skin seemed meticulously sculpted, imbued with strength and beauty.
