It is Third Master. Uncle Fu replied.
Third Grandfather? Nangong Xin was stunned. She never imagined the family would send Nangong Wu to Tianhai City. It seemed the family took the message she sent back very seriously.
However, Nangong Xin felt full of worry about the family sending Nangong Wu to Tianhai City. She knew Nangong Wu’s temper well. Once he learned that Li Feng wanted the Nangong family to become his vassal family, his first reaction would surely be to teach Li Feng a lesson.
Yes, eldest young miss. Uncle Fu nodded. He looked at Nangong Xin with kindness in his eyes. No one understood Nangong Xin better than he did. Over all these years, she had been struggling for the family. No one knew how bitter and exhausting it had been for her.
If Nangong Xin had been born into another family, she might now enjoy luxury and comfort. But in the Nangong family, she could not enjoy any of that.
Moreover, the incident from years ago had left a huge shadow in Nangong Xin’s heart. After that event, to avoid leaving any deeper trauma in her mind, within the Nangong family she was called eldest young miss. But outside, some people with ill intentions called her second young miss.
If Nangong Xin had not endured humiliation and carried the burden for the family, no one knew what might have happened by now.
When will Third Grandfather arrive? Nangong Xin asked.
According to the message from the family, Third Master will arrive in one hour. Uncle Fu answered.
One hour? Nangong Xin nodded and said to Uncle Fu: Uncle Fu, go and pick up Third Grandfather. His arrival this time is perfect. I have something to discuss with him.
Yes. Uncle Fu responded and turned to leave the room.
Eldest young miss. The young woman from earlier came back to Nangong Xin’s side. Her face looked rather unpleasant as she said: Eldest young miss, just now Murong Kang had someone call again. He said if he cannot see you tonight, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.
Arrogant. Just who does Murong Kang think he is? What does he take me, Nangong Xin, for? Nangong Xin’s face turned ashen. Thick anger flashed in her eyes.
Eldest young miss, Murong Kang is so arrogant. Should we give him a lesson? The young woman said in a deep voice.
No. Nangong Xin took a deep breath to calm her furious emotions. She asked in a heavy tone.
No one wanted to teach Murong Kang a lesson more than she did. Murong Kang treated her like a servant he could summon or dismiss at will. But Nangong Xin knew deeply that she absolutely could not offend Murong Kang. The powerful Murong family was not something the current Nangong family could afford to provoke.
The Nangong family was now in a precarious position. Nangong Xin would not let her personal feelings cause the family to offend the Murong family.
Eldest young miss… The young woman looked at Nangong Xin in confusion.
Nangong Yu, I know what you want to say. But Murong Kang and his Murong family are not people we can afford to offend. We can only endure. Nangong Xin said in a deep voice.
Eldest young miss, if it were someone else it might be fine. But Murong Kang is different. If we do not teach him a lesson, he will surely push further. Today he invites eldest young miss to dinner and dares to say such things. In the future, in the future… Nangong Yu did not finish her words, but her meaning was already very clear.
Nangong Yu, I know what you want to say. But I want to tell you that with the current situation of our Nangong family, we can only endure. For the revival of the Nangong family, we must endure. Nangong Xin said gravely.
Xin’er, you are wrong about this. Some things can be endured, but some things absolutely cannot be endured. At that moment, a voice came from outside. Immediately after, the door of the room was pushed open. An old man walked in first.
This old man was none other than Nangong Wu.
Behind Nangong Wu followed Uncle Fu.
Third Grandfather, were you not supposed to arrive in one hour? Nangong Xin asked in shock when she saw Nangong Wu.
Haha, does Xin’er not welcome Third Grandfather? Nangong Wu smiled and said.
Third Grandfather, how could Xin’er not welcome you? Nangong Xin stepped forward, took Nangong Wu’s hand and said: Xin’er welcomes Third Grandfather more than anything. With Third Grandfather by my side, Xin’er feels much more at ease.
You. Nangong Wu pinched Nangong Xin’s nose and said: Xin’er, I heard what you said outside just now. But I am very dissatisfied with your way of handling things. Do you know why?
Third Grandfather, please speak. Nangong Xin shook her head. She more or less understood what Nangong Wu meant, but she had no intention of saying it out loud.
You, I do not believe you do not know what I want to say. Nangong Wu gave Nangong Xin an annoyed look and said.
Nangong Xin smiled sheepishly.
Xin’er, our Nangong family has indeed declined greatly. But that does not mean you need to swallow insults and endure humiliation everywhere for the family. Sometimes endurance is for the family, a way to advance by retreating. But excessive endurance will only make others think the Nangong family is easy to bully.
At this point, Nangong Wu looked at Nangong Xin and said in a deep voice: Although the Murong family is powerful, they do not have the strength to destroy our Nangong family. Moreover, Murong Kang is only the third young master of the Murong family. He cannot represent the entire Murong family.
But Third Grandfather, you know the family’s situation. Although Murong Kang does not represent the Murong family, he is highly favoured in the Murong family. If Murong Kang makes things difficult for our Nangong family, it will be a big problem for us. Nangong Xin said.
Make things difficult? Xin’er, when did you become so cautious? Do you think a playboy like Murong Kang can cause any real trouble for our Nangong family? Even if the Nangong family is weak, dealing with one spoiled young master is more than enough.
At this point, Nangong Wu looked at Nangong Xin and said: If Murong Kang dares to make things difficult for you in the future, just let Uncle Fu teach him a lesson. A spoiled young master from the Murong family dares to trouble my Xin’er. He is simply courting death.
By the way, Xin’er, you should know why Third Grandfather came today. Regarding Li Feng’s unreasonable demand, what do you think we should do? After Nangong Wu sat down on the sofa, he asked Nangong Xin in a deep voice.
Third Grandfather, Li Feng’s demand is extremely arrogant. He does not take our Nangong family seriously at all… At this point, Nangong Xin glanced at Nangong Wu.
Why are you looking at me? Tell me your opinion. Nangong Wu said with a laugh.
However, Li Feng’s strength is indeed very strong. Nangong Xin said.
Oh? How strong is Li Feng? Nangong Wu raised an eyebrow and asked: Does he really have the peak acquired ninth layer strength as you said?
Third Grandfather, I am afraid Li Feng’s strength is more than just peak acquired ninth layer. Take a look at this. Nangong Xin handed the intelligence she had been reading to Nangong Wu.
Nangong Wu opened it and read it carefully. His expression became grave as he said: Xin’er, is this intelligence true?
Nangong Wu’s heart was filled with shock. Li Feng having peak acquired ninth layer strength had already stunned the entire Nangong family. But from this intelligence, Li Feng was definitely not limited to peak acquired ninth layer. By his judgement, Li Feng at least had half-step innate strength.
Half-step innate meant one foot had already stepped into the innate realm. This meant Li Feng could reach the innate realm within a few years.
Nangong Wu considered himself to have above-average talent in the Nangong family. But compared to Li Feng, he felt his decades of cultivation had been wasted.
Third Grandfather, this was obtained by the family’s intelligence network at great cost. Moreover, this matter is now causing a huge stir in Tianhai City. The intelligence cannot be false. Nangong Xin replied.
It seems this Li Feng is truly not simple. A sharp glint flashed in Nangong Wu’s eyes.
Yes. Although Li Feng is very arrogant, Xin’er feels this is an opportunity for our Nangong family. Nangong Xin said in a deep voice.
Oh? You think so? Nangong Wu looked at Nangong Xin with a half-smile.
Yes. Nangong Xin felt a little guilty. Of course, her guilt was not only because she faced Nangong Wu, but also because of her own decision.
For the Nangong family to become Li Feng’s vassal family… Xin’er, do you really think doing this would benefit our Nangong family? Nangong Wu asked with a serious face.
What? Nangong Yu and Uncle Fu beside them were greatly shocked. They had followed Nangong Xin to Tianhai City for so long and naturally knew who Li Feng was. But how could Nangong Xin suggest letting the Nangong family become Li Feng’s vassal? Had their Nangong family really fallen to such a state?
Nangong Xin did not look at Nangong Yu or Uncle Fu. She looked at Nangong Wu and said: Xin’er knows this is hard for the Nangong family to accept. Xin’er does not know what benefits this would bring to our Nangong family either. But Xin’er feels this may be the hope for our Nangong family’s revival. So Xin’er thinks Li Feng’s proposal can be considered.
Xin’er, what is your reason? Nangong Wu looked at Nangong Xin and asked gravely: If it is only because of Li Feng’s strength and your intuition, that is far from enough.
Nangong Xin shook her head and said: It is not because of Li Feng’s strength. If Murong Kang had Li Feng’s strength and made such a demand of our Nangong family, I would absolutely not agree. But Li Feng is different. The reason I think Li Feng’s proposal can be considered is because of Li Feng’s character.
Character? Nangong Wu frowned.
Yes, exactly his character. Nangong Xin nodded and said: Third Grandfather, I do not know what decision the family has made. But I hope the family can consider it carefully. Right now our Nangong family faces constant pressure from those people. The only way is to borrow strength to strike back. Xin’er had considered the Murong family before. But now it seems the Murong family is far less reliable than Li Feng.
Then I will go and meet this Li Feng. A sharp light flashed in Nangong Wu’s eyes.
