The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 316: I’ve Been Waiting for You for a Long Time
She looked very serious, not at all as if she were joking.
Jun Ning could no longer smile, she shrugged her shoulders and coughed twice.
"Ah Ning, why are you coughing?" Lan Xihe asked. "Do you agree with my point of view? Do you think the person who created the wooden glider should be killed?"
The progress of an era is inevitably accompanied by trailblazers and innovators. This naturally means breaking through original understandings and things, which will inevitably affect many people’s interests, causing dissatisfaction and leading to bloodshed and sacrifice.
Lan Xihe believed from her perspective that the person should be killed.
But what if you looked at it from the world’s perspective?
Who doesn’t want easier travel? When coming to the Medicine King Valley for medicine, without encountering the barrier of the Black Forest, directly fly over?
Therefore, Jun Ning couldn’t say Lan Xihe’s point was wrong, nor could she say it was right.
She stammered an indifferent reply and then bypassed the topic without waiting for Lan Xihe to speak.
She said, "Sister Xi He, if you are really afraid and don’t dare to use the wooden glider to fly over, you can wait here for us, and I’ll go with the others."
"No, no, no, I want to go too!" Lan Xihe quickly said, "Being afraid doesn’t mean I’ll give up and shrink back. Master said the more something frightens you, the braver you should be to face it, then you can become stronger."
Saying this, Lan Xihe gritted her teeth and boarded one of the wooden gliders. She shouted loudly and was the first to charge down the cliff with the glider! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Jun Ning followed closely behind.
The assassins behind them were no exceptions; they all followed.
This time, Jun Ning managed to get several times more wooden gliders than before. Previously, the old carpenter didn’t have the knack or skill to make the gliders, which took some time, so he could only craft one as fast as possible.
But over these years, the old carpenter had made many wooden gliders.
And now, he makes a living by renting out the gliders.
Renting one costs hundreds of silver, enough to live off for several years with just one rental.
The old carpenter’s life is quite good because of this.
However, because he injured his leg making the wooden gliders, he missed the best treatment time, and his leg never healed. Now he’s always inconvenienced, often traveling in a wheelchair.
When Jun Ning saw the old carpenter again, she felt very complicated. But seeing him not giving up despite his wasted leg and still doing what he loved, living well with two young attendants looking after him, she was somewhat relieved.
While Jun Ning was in these thoughts, their wooden glider had already flown over the Black Forest and landed in front of the Medicine King Valley.
The Medicine King Valley, as always, was heavily guarded and impenetrable.
Jun Ning thought of a way to write a note and handed it to the guard at the door, saying, "Just say the little girl who once flew over the Black Forest to get medicine from the Medicine King Valley has come again, and trouble the Valley Master for a meeting."
Jun Ning had expected that the guard at the door wouldn’t take her words seriously, and she would have to spend quite some effort to persuade him to pass the note to Jiang Chen, the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jun Ning mentioned her flight over the Black Forest, the guard curiously said, "Are you the little girl from back then who came with her brother and some Uncle Qi?"
Jun Ning nodded and asked curiously, "How do you know?"
"Not just me, all the guards and attendants in this valley know."
Back then, Jun Ning and the others flew over the Black Forest using the wooden glider and appeared unharmed before the Medicine King Valley, causing a huge sensation in the Medicine King Valley.
It was incredible that they could fly over the Black Forest like that.
So, the people at the Medicine King Valley remembered Jun Ning and her companions vividly.
Besides, Valley Master Jiang Chen had been preoccupied with the glider that could make people fly; he had always wanted to know how it was made. But the craftsman who made it stubbornly refused to tell, neither coercion nor heavy bribes worked.
The Valley Master was so angry he wanted to kill the old carpenter several times, but the old carpenter threatened him with the glider’s blueprint, just as Jun Ning had once threatened him.
He said if he dared to kill him, he’d distribute the glider’s blueprint, causing this secluded paradise of Medicine King Valley to become a bustling mess, full of people seeking medicine and causing trouble, making the valley unable to stay unperturbed.
Because of this, the Valley Master had no way to kill the old carpenter or get the blueprint for the glider.
To get the glider’s blueprint, he could only wait for Jun Ning and her companions to show up again.
He’d been waiting many years for Jun Ning and her companions to come again.
At last, they came.
The guards at the door politely invited Jun Ning and her companions inside.
Jiang Chen, who was tending the medicines in the valley, upon hearing that Jun Ning and her companions had revisited the Medicine King Valley, didn’t care about tending any precious herbs. He tossed the herbs to his son Jiang Yuer and came out to see Jun Ning himself.
Because he had just been tending to the medicines, he was all dirty, with muddy shoes and a thin sheen of sweat on his forehead, looking somewhat messy.
Anyone else might have been embarrassed to meet people in such a state.
But Jiang Chen wasn’t embarrassed at all, his face serene, showing no emotion. Only when he saw Jun Ning and her companions did his eyes lighting up a bit.
"Little girl, I’ve been waiting for you for years, and finally you’re here," Jiang Chen smiled. "It’s been years, you’ve grown a bit taller and much prettier."
Jun Ning nodded, "This visit, I’ve come still in search of medicine!"
"Last time you tricked me, taking three precious herbs from me for nothing! And now you’ve come again, trying to swindle me once more?" Jiang Chen’s tone was a bit resentful.
Like a wronged woman.
Jun Ning, embarrassed by the mention of past deeds, coughed lightly twice and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not empty-handed this time."
"Is that so?" Jiang Chen glanced at Jun Ning’s group. "I wonder what you brought this time?"
Seeing that Jun Ning and those behind her didn’t carry anything in their hands, they all had empty hands, Jiang Chen continued, "It looks like you didn’t bring anything? What did you bring? I don’t see it."
"Little girl, don’t lie with your eyes wide open. I’ve grown over the years and won’t be easily tricked by you again!" Jiang Chen looked cautious, "If you don’t have something that pleases me, there’s no way I’ll give you the medicine!"
"...What if I do have something to show you?" Jun Ning asked, "Will you still give me the medicine?"
