When they left the room, Bi Xue and Qing'er stopped in their tracks, standing to their left and right, looking at Ning Luo at the same time. When they saw that, Ning Luo was stunned, and then he understood what the two women meant.

After that, he turned around and wanted to say something, but when he saw the murderous look on Bi Xue's face, he forcibly swallowed back his words. At this moment, he already understood that he had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and walked into the hall. The two girls behind him looked at each other before following him into the hall.

"We pay our respects to the Young Palace Master!"

The moment Ning Luo stepped into the hall, a few powerful gazes turned to look at him. These gazes were as deep as the abyss, unfathomable. He didn't dare to look straight at them, and soon after, the hall was filled with a wave of greetings.

Ning Luo shook his head after the greeting. He threw away the auras and looked towards the hall. His eyes swept over Di Kun and Mei Lian. When he saw Feng Wuqing and Grandma Long, he walked towards them.

Arriving in front of Dragon Lady and Feng Wuqing, Ning Luo realized that the two of them, like the others, had both bowed and cupped their fists, respectfully looking at him. He was stunned there, and just as he was not aware of what was happening, Dragon Lady's voice rang in his ears.

" Get up! "

" Thank you, Young Hall Master! "

As soon as Ning Luo finished speaking, the people saluting stood up and respectfully stood to the side. At this moment, the Dragon Lady took a step forward and stood in front of Ning Luo, bowing as she said,

" "Reporting to Young Mistress, Chief Steward Di and Miss Mei, today I must see you. I can't do it, so I brought you here directly. Please punish me, Young Mistress!"

"Uh, Grandma Long, you are being too serious. I … Why would I blame you? Please quickly get up!"

Ning Luo said indifferently as she looked at Dragon Lady in response to the voice that entered her ears.

" Thank you, Young Hall Master! "

After that, she straightened her body and stood behind Ning Luo.

Ning Luo then shifted her gaze to Di Kun and Mei Lian. After sizing up the area for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and asked:

" May I know what important matter the two of you have in order to help us out? "

His tone was extremely stiff, giving off an awkward feeling.

Hearing Ning Luo's words, Di Kun looked at Merlin. Seeing that there was no response from her, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he took a step forward and respectfully said to Ning Luo,

" This subordinate heard that Young Hall Master met an assassin on the way and was heavily injured, so this subordinate came here today to visit Young Hall Master and offer you two pellets of the healing panacea, the Hundred Spirit Pellet. With that, Di Kun waved his arm and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. He then held it up with both hands and respectfully handed it over to Ning Luo.

" "I appreciate your kindness. However, although I met an assassin, I wasn't seriously injured, so please take back this Hundred Spirit Pill!"

Ning Luo swallowed his saliva, trying to hold back his emotions as he spoke indifferently.

"Since Young Hall Master is not injured, this subordinate is relieved. It's just that this Hundred Spirit Pill, I hope that Young Hall Master can accept it. Consider this as a little kindness from this subordinate!"

A ray of light flashed across Di Kun's eyes. He thought for a while and said with determination.

" "This!"

Di Kun's words caused Ning Luo to have a difficult expression. At this moment, if he continued to refuse, Di Kun would lose face, but if he accepted it directly, he was afraid of the Dragon Lady and Feng Wuqing who were behind him blaming him.

" "Since Chief Di has said so, I will accept this Hundred Spirit Pill!"

As soon as Ning Luo finished her words, she slowly walked out from behind. She took the Hundred Spirit Pill from Di Kun's hands and retreated back to Ning Luo's side.

However, no one had noticed that just as Ning Luo had hesitated just now, a puzzled look had flashed through Meryl's eyes, but it had disappeared in a flash.

" Young Hall Master, this subordinate has one more thing to report.

Seeing Ning Luo accept the pill, a mysterious smile appeared on Di Kun's face. He then bent over and cupped his fist as he spoke.

Hearing Di Kun's words, the Dragon Lady and Feng Wuqing who stood behind Ning Luo furrowed their brows, revealing unfriendly expressions.

"Oh, Steward Di, please speak!"

Ning Luo nodded, her face expressionless.

"Young Hall Master being able to come to Dragon Phoenix Villa is my fortune. Therefore, this subordinate has specially prepared a special gift for Young Hall Master, I hope that Young Hall Master can accept it!"

Hearing Ning Luo's permission, Di Kun's face was filled with heartache. He instantly flashed by. Then, he raised his head to look at Ning Luo and respectfully said. Without waiting for Ning Luo to speak, he turned his head to the side and shouted,

" Peony, come out and greet the young master! "

As soon as Di Kun finished speaking, the girl standing behind him slowly walked out. This girl was wearing a peony robe and was as beautiful as a flower. Not only was she bashful, she looked very attractive.

" Peony pays respect to the Young Palace Master! "

The peony came to Di Kun's side and bowed to Ning Luo, speaking charmingly. The opening of his mouth was like a peony flower blooming, beautiful as a painting, beautiful and charming.

"Ugh!"

Ning Luo looked at Peony with his eyes wide open. If Dragon Lady's voice hadn't rang in his ears again, his saliva would probably be dripping from his mouth. After calming down a little, Ning Luo revealed a bitter smile.

"Manager Di, what's the meaning of this?"

"In reply to Young Hall Master, this subordinate has no other intentions, I only wish to express a bit of respect to Young Hall Master. I hope Young Hall Master will not decline!"

Hearing Ning Luo's question, Di Kun's face didn't change, but he still replied respectfully.

"Young Hall Master, Peony has been skilled in music, calligraphy, and painting since childhood. With her by your side, not only can you take care of Young Hall Master's daily life, you can also add a lot of fun to his life. Is it Peony?"

Finally, Di Kun looked at Peony and inadvertently nodded to her. Then, everything returned to normal.

"Young Hall Master, please accept this peony. peony will definitely serve Young Hall Master with all his might!"

Peony suddenly raised its head and looked Ning Luo in the eye. At the same time, ripples appeared in her eyes, shooting towards Ning Luo's eyes. The old woman standing behind Ning Luo seemed to sense something and her face changed. Just as she was about to move, she heard Ning Luo's words echoing in the hall.

"Alright, then you can stay by my side!"

Ning Luo's expression was dazed as he stiffly replied. After he finished speaking, his mind relaxed and he immediately regained his clarity. When he heard Peony's words, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. However, he didn't notice that behind him, the expressions of Dragon Lady and Feng Wuqing had already completely gone gloomy.

"Thank you Young Hall Master. Peony, you still haven't come over. Remember to take good care of Young Hall Master in the future, understand?"

Seeing that Ning Luo had agreed, Di Kun looked at Peony with appreciation. Then, with a serious expression, he spoke to Peony.

"Yes!"

However, just as she steadied herself, she felt four cold gazes land on her. She turned her head to see Bi Xue and Qing'er looking at her coldly. She gave a gentle smile of victory.

Seeing Peony's actions, Ning Luo seemed to understand something. Just as he wanted to ask something, Dragon Lady's voice rang in his ears, making him shut his mouth obediently. He could already hear from Dragon Lady's tone that something wasn't right.

"Alright, Steward Di, Aunt Mei, I'm a bit tired now. You can leave now."

"Yes, Young Hall Master, this subordinate will take his leave!"

After Ning had finished, Di Kun opened his mouth and said directly. He then turned around and walked out of the hall. The moment he disappeared from the hall, a proud smile appeared on his face.

"Since Young Palace Master is tired, then Meryl will also take her leave!"

After Dekun left, Mei Lian took a step forward and spoke. She gave Ning Luo a meaningful look before turning around and leaving the hall with the girl. Instantly, the entire Purple Light Pavilion quieted down.
