CHAPTER 1180: CHAPTER 1179: KILLING 5

At the critical moment, a human figure suddenly appeared from below. Seeing this scene, the person shouted: "Beast! Still restless after being dead for so many years, do you want to harm people?"

Before the shout had finished, something yellow had already flown out of his hand. In that instant, the branch of the date tree was abruptly knocked to the other side.

Ye Ning stared wide-eyed at the thick branch that fell beside her, just a palm’s distance away, stunned for a long, long time.

That was the feeling of a near-death escape. If this person had been a step later, would she have died under this branch?

"Girl, are you okay?"

Sitting there like an idiot, the person who had just saved her climbed up, saw her there, and immediately came over to check on her condition.

Ye Ning heard, as if finally coming to her senses, and after a violent shudder, her pale face looked at him blankly: "No... no problem, thank you..."

"No need to thank, but why did you come here? This place isn’t safe, if there’s nothing wrong, it’s better to go down quickly, it’s almost dark."

This wasn’t a very prominent person, even somewhat ugly, with a height not much different from a woman’s. His clothes were quite rustic, with a scruffy beard, looking just like those people in the city below who specifically make a living by collecting trash.

Who is this person? Why does he know these things?

Ye Ning was struggling to stand up, supported by him, and despite his unremarkable appearance, his eyes were especially bright. Unconsciously, her heart skipped a beat: "You... you can see the people here?"

"People?"

"No... I mean, the one who just tried to harm me!" Ye Ning tried hard to explain clearly.

Fortunately, this person was smart. Hearing her say this, he understood, and then smiled: "Little girl, sometimes it’s a blessing not to see certain things. It’s almost New Year, if you’ve got nothing to do, don’t wander around, you should go down the mountain, come, I’ll take you."

After saying this, he was about to take her down.

But upon hearing his words, Ye Ning, clever as she was, immediately understood his meaning and promptly held onto him: "I won’t go, I’m here to find her. Do you have a way to let me see her? I want to talk to her!"

"What did you say? Looking for her?"

"Yes, I’m here to find her. I’m her granddaughter, I came this time to talk to her!"

"..."

The person was stunned, his bright eyes staring at her as if looking at some unbelievable thing, as shocked as could be.

"Yan Family descendant? You say you are a Yan Family descendant?"

"Yes, I am her descendant. Do you know the Yan Family?" Ye Ning was also astonished, staring at him, filled with surprise.

Knowing about the Yan Family wasn’t strange, but having such a reaction upon knowing was truly odd, because the secrets of the Yan Family were not known by the average person.

Yet she never expected, after he found out she was a descendant of the Yan Family, he was only dumbfounded for a few seconds, then said nothing, and directly took out a jade pendant from his body.

Ye Ning stood there, immediately feeling a wave of cool air surge from her pupils, and her glazed pupils turned emerald green: "Horse King Jade? How... how do you have such a precious thing?"
