Chapter 118: One hundred eighteen, can’t help it.
Song Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ning doesn’t seem like a child who grew up in the countryside, and her medical skills have truly surprised me." If Xiao Ning were already in her teens or twenties, he might accept that, but she was only seven years old and her medical skills had already surpassed her grandfather’s, which was indeed unfathomable. Moreover, the noble and aloof temperament she possessed was something Xiao Xue and Xiao Li couldn’t compare with.
"These are just superficial aspects, she is even more outstanding than you see—her composure, her calmness, her attitude toward handling matters, none of these are typical for a child her age," said Mr. Song. His wife had told him that after being pricked by Xiao Ning’s silver needle, she couldn’t move, and at that time, Xiao Ning had already gone inside the house with her grandparents. Using a silver needle to target acupoints from such a distance was certainly not likely. Therefore, he had a bold guess that Xiao Ning might be an ancient martial cultivator, and possibly there was a powerful master behind her.
"Mhm," Song Yufeng nodded in agreement.
"Do you now understand why I gave Xiao Ning the family’s White Jade?" Mr. Song’s sharp gaze was on Song Yufeng, hoping he wasn’t too foolish.
Song Yufeng nodded, "Dad hopes that Xiao Ning will return to the Song Family and that under her leadership, the Song Family will reach new heights in the future."
Mr. Song picked up his teacup and took a sip, "That’s only one reason. I suspect that Xiao Ning might have a great master behind her." If things were as he suspected and if Xiao Ning was willing to lead the Song Family in the future, then it was very likely that the Song Family would tread a path beyond his imagination.
A hint of shock appeared in Song Yufeng’s eyes, and he simultaneously thought of what Xinxin had told him about how Xiao Ning had drugged her, "Dad, do you mean that it’s very likely that Xiao Ning is an ancient martial cultivator?" Since the Song Family was one of the Four Great Families in Beijing, they naturally knew many things; ancient martial sects and ancient martial cultivators were not secrets to a family like theirs.
"Mhm," Mr. Song nodded. Although it was only speculation, he felt this guess was likely to be true.
