Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1540 - 1529: A Farewell Message

The poisonous creatures fed by the residents of Hu Family Village are kept in the lower compartment.Due to the design of the stilted house, even if there are poisonous creatures at home, there is no worry about being attacked.

The place where the poisonous creatures are kept has walls built of stone, and they are quite high, making it difficult for the creatures to crawl out.

But now it's different.

Ning Fan pierced the wall with True Qi, creating the illusion that the poisonous creatures had burrowed through, then lifted them to the second floor,

After several muffled sounds, Ning Fan entered the room.

The people in the room had been confined by Ning Fan's True Qi, and now confronted with these agitated poisonous creatures, they immediately died from the poison.

After searching around and confirming there was no information left about the cave, Ning Fan went to the next house.

The whole night, Ning Fan executed the same plan, poisoning twelve houses of the Hu Family's collateral relatives.

Shortly after dawn, the people of Hu Family Village discovered the bodies.

Upon seeing the house full of poisonous snakes and scorpions, the villagers of Hu Family, besides feeling terrified, did not suspect anything else.

Although the number of deaths was somewhat high, dying from poisonous creatures seemed to be within an acceptable range, considered a normalcy in abnormal deaths, which was the result Ning Fan desired.

Always hidden in the shadows, Ning Fan saw this scene and then quietly left.

The secret of the back mountain, from here on, thoroughly disappeared from sight.

Anxious to return "home," Ning Fan rushed back to Mo Family Village, but the outcome was somewhat disappointing.

"Fei'er, I'm back."

Before entering the village, Ning Fan called out excitedly, but Ma Fei'er was nowhere to be seen, not even an echo heard.

"Could she have gone into Misty Ghost Forest?"

At this thought, Ning Fan felt a bit anxious; he couldn't detect Ma Fei'er's aura.

Within a few miles radius of Mo Family Village, only Misty Ghost Forest could mask the aura.

Just then, Ning Fan heard a cry of sorrow.

Following the sound, Ning Fan arrived at a house, and before entering, was met with a rank odor.

"Young Ning, you finally returned."

Upon seeing Ning Fan, Lin Mei immediately burst into tears, the elderly appearance accompanied by the sadness was enough to make the observer's heart ache and the listener shed tears.

"Lin Mei, what's going on? Why are you chained up?"

At this moment, Lin Mei had a metal chain wrapped around her waist, the other end embedded into the wall.

If it were before, Lin Mei could have easily escaped the restraints of the chain, but now, with cultivation all lost and her body frail, she couldn't do anything against the chain.

Seeing this, coupled with Ma Fei'er missing, Ning Fan's expression immediately darkened, his anger surging and he repeatedly asked, "What happened, where is Fei'er? Was someone attacked here?"

Sensing Ning Fan's anger, Lin Mei, who was about to complain, quickly shook her head and said, "No. Miss Ma left on her own."

"Left on her own?"

Ning Fan was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "That's impossible."

Given what he knew of Ma Fei'er, once a time was set, she wouldn't leave without saying anything.

"It's true. Miss Ma left four days ago." Lin Mei added, "There's a message she left for you on the table."

Ning Fan focused his vision, seeing on the wooden table a line of small characters engraved, "Fan, I've left. Please forgive my sudden departure, do not think of me!"

"What on earth does this mean?"

Ning Fan's face darkened, urgently asking, "Are these words carved by Fei'er?"

He was unfamiliar with Ma Fei'er's handwriting.

"Yes. After Miss Ma locked me up, I saw her carving on the table with my own eyes."

After saying this, Lin Mei hesitated, but still said, "I saw Miss Ma carving while shedding tears, and I asked with concern, but she didn't say anything and left after engraving these words."

"Fei'er was crying!"

Ning Fan's heart trembled, and his thoughts scattered, "Perhaps there was a reason Fei'er had to leave."

Touching the carvings on the table, although the tears had dried, Ning Fan could envision the scene.

With each stroke carved, tears would slowly flow along the carvings.

"Lin Mei, what happened after I left?"

Ning Fan added, "Do not omit any details, I need to know everything."

Ma Fei'er couldn't have left for no reason, there must be a reason she had to leave.

Ning Fan hoped to find some clues, to uncover this reason.

"Young Ning, after you left, I continued to bury the people of Mo Family Village with Miss Ma. After burying them, she would chant sutras during the day and pray for you at night."

Hearing this, Ning Fan warmed inside, and asked again, "Did Fei'er show any abnormalities?"

"Everything was normal for a while, same routine every day. But the day before Miss Ma left, I noticed something was off."

Ning Fan immediately asked, "What was off?"

"I found Miss Ma very anxious, somewhat absent-minded. Sometimes I called several times, and she seemed to ignore me, as if something was on her mind."

"What was on her mind?"

Ning Fan murmured, then suddenly recollected, realizing,

"Could the Mo Family Council of Elders have found out?"

After the Corpse Refining into God incident, the Mo Family Council of Elders ordered Ma Fei'er to leave and not to meddle in the Corpse Herding Sect's affairs.

But Ma Fei'er agreed on the surface yet secretly came here.

These things Ning Fan had heard Ma Fei'er mention.

Now with Ma Fei'er suddenly leaving, apart from the Mo Family Council of Elders' involvement, Ning Fan couldn't think of anything else.

Of course, there could be other possibilities, such as an urgent task from the Exorcism Association, forcing Ma Fei'er to accept it.

But Ning Fan felt that possibility wasn't likely.

The crux lay in this line of message, though not many words, within the words lay a clear sense of farewell, "never to meet again."

If it was purely for a task, why would Ma Fei'er write "do not think of me," such cold-hearted words.

"Could it be the Mo Family Council of Elders discovered Fei'er lied, and to avoid exposing me, she chose to leave alone."

Due to Ning Fan's request, the Ma Family still didn't know of his existence.

Thinking of Lin Mei being escorted back to the family for punishment, Ning Fan, burning with anxiety, asked, "Lin Mei, do you know where the Ma Family's residence is located?"

In just a few days, Ning Fan had eradicated two big families, and didn't mind causing a commotion at Ma Family to rescue Ma Fei'er.

"Young Ning, I'm sorry. Except for Lin Batian, no one in the Corpse Herding Sect knows information about the Ma Family. My understanding of Ma Family all came from Lin Batian."

"It's not your fault."

Ning Fan shook his head, as information such as family residences is always top secret.

Even when facing opponents, it is not easily revealed.

Take Ma Fei'er, she and Ning Fan had spent a long time together, disclosed some things about the Ma Family, but never a word about the family residence.

Seeing her not mention it, Ning Fan hadn't pursued the matter.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have thickened my face to ask about it then. Even knowing a rough location would be good."

Thinking about this, Ning Fan felt a wave of regret, then asked, "So why are you locked up here by Fei'er? Could it be..."
