The night is as dark as ink, and the moonlight is cold.
Nangong Yun did not return to his room immediately after leaving the Heifengzhai Hall.
While the people in Heifeng Village were still drunk, he explored the entire Heifeng Village, including the cell that Xiaowan mentioned.
However, what puzzled him was that there was no one in the cell, and there was nothing except the faint blood stains on the floor and the doorposts on the walls.
"Did they take everyone away?"
Nangong Yun muttered in his heart.
However, if it was like what Xiaowan saw, those who stayed behind might have gone crazy and bit each other and lost their lives.
After Nangong Yun checked around, and after making sure that no one was watching around, he slowly withdrew and returned to his private room.
He must be extremely careful with every move he makes in Heifeng Village now.
Although Heifeng Village already regarded him as one of its own, he did not dare to be careless. One oversight might cause his entire plan to fail.
When Nangong Yun approached his wing, he slowed down and softly opened the door and entered, because he didn't want to wake Xiaowan up so late.
However, when he entered the wing and closed the door, before he could turn around, Xiaowan suddenly pounced on him from behind.
She hugged Nangong Yun tightly, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably. Nangong Yun could clearly feel Xiaowan's anxious and nervous heart beating violently.
After a moment, he gently pulled away Xiaowan's clenched hands, turned around and said to her with a smile.
"I met your family today."
Xiaowan asked happily after hearing Nangong Yun's words.
"Really? My father knew I was caught here? Did he come to save me?"
"Yes, not only your father is here, but also your grandfather and his elders are here."
Seeing Xiaowan's excited expression, Nangong Yun was also very relieved. This little girl had been frightened too much recently, and knowing that her family was here to save her would make her feel much more at ease.
Immediately, Nangong Yun sat down with Xiaowan, and then said to her slowly.
"Today, in order to fool Wu Laosan, your grandfather Xia Feipeng and I fought. During the fight, I secretly expressed my thoughts to him. I think he understood what I meant, so he left Black Wind Mountain first."
"Oh, I hope grandpa won't be impulsive and ruin your plan, Brother Yun."
Xiaowan was a little worried after hearing this, because she knew her grandfather's hot temper best.
"Haha...you don't have to worry about this. Although your grandfather has a hot temper, he is very thoughtful. I only spared him twice without hurting him. He reacted immediately and cooperated with me to perform a show. The drama won Wu Laosan’s trust.”
Nangong Yun smiled slightly, looked at Xiaowan and said.
But he saw Xiaowan looking at him in disbelief.
"Brother Yun, are you saying that you defeated Grandpa?"
"Oh, haha, maybe it was his old man who let me go."
Nangong Yun smiled awkwardly.
After all, he had beaten up his grandfather and accidentally let it slip, so he had to find a reason to cover it up.
"But grandpa has a very high cultivation level. Although I don't know how to practice, I have seen how powerful grandpa is. Brother Yun, you are actually higher in cultivation than grandpa. It's really amazing!"
It is true that Xiaowan has never practiced cultivation, but her grandfather, father, and several brothers are all practitioners, so she naturally understands what cultivation is about.
Now, Nangong Yun has even defeated his grandfather. Doesn't that mean that he is more powerful than his father and several older brothers?
Xiaowan blinked her big bright eyes, looked at Nangong Yun admiringly and said.
"Brother Yun, where did you come from, and why are you so powerful at such a young age?"
Looking at Xiao Wan's admiring expression, Nangong Yun felt a little happy. After all, young people are human nature, and it is inevitable to feel a little proud when meeting a girl who admires her.
"Haha, I actually come from the South Vietnam Empire. This is my first time in the desert of the Western Region. The scenery here is really different from the south."
"The South Vietnam Empire? I heard my grandfather say that it is like spring all year round, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. It is a good place. That's why Brother Yun gave birth to a person with a kind heart and high cultivation level."
Xiaowan's face turned slightly red as she spoke. Although it was at night and the moonlight did not make the room very bright, Nangong Yun could still see it clearly.
"Xiao Wan, you can rest assured now, you can go home when you arrive at Ten Thousand Beasts City."
Nangong Yun looked at Xiaowan and said happily.
"Well, Brother Yun, you can stay at my house then. My grandpa will definitely entertain you well."
"We'll see then. When we get to Ten Thousand Beasts City, I and Wu Laosan will go to see Wu Tianyong. When everything is settled, I will take the time to see you."
"Ah, you are going to see Wu Tianyong. He is the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City and Wu Laosan's second brother. I am afraid that you will be in danger if you go. Why don't you go to my house first and I can ask grandpa to help find a solution. "
Xiaowan was a little worried about Nangong Yun's safety, although she knew that all this was Nangong Yun's plan.
However, she was still worried. She wanted to help Nangong Yun not just to repay her kindness.
Nangong Yun knew that Xiaowan wanted to help him, but after the conversation between Wu Laosan and Xia Feipeng during the day, he basically understood the Xia family's status in the City of Beasts.
Therefore, I don’t want to embarrass the Xia family, which is already in trouble.
Then, he smiled and said to Xiaowan.
"It's okay. I have gained Wu Laosan's trust. As long as you are more careful, there will be no danger. But after you return to Ten Thousand Beasts City, stay at home and don't show your face for the time being, otherwise Wu Laosan and the others will find out. If I put you back, you will definitely become suspicious."
Nangong Yun suddenly realized this problem while talking.
He had always pretended to be a lecher in front of Wu Laosan, and Xiaowan was just used as a tool for his pleasure. If he sent Xiaowan back to the Xia family in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, there was no guarantee that Wu Laosan would not doubt his intentions. , so he told Xiaowan this way.
"Ah, wouldn't this put Brother Yun in danger?"
Xiaowan held her two white little hands in front of her chest and began to think to herself. Then she raised her pink face and said firmly to Nangong Yun.
"Then let's do this. I'll follow Brother Yun first, and Xiaowan will go home after you finish your work."
"Haha, what I want to do is to get rid of Wu Laosan, and I may deal with Wu Tianyong. You should understand that this is a very dangerous thing. If you follow me, won't you be afraid of encountering danger again and losing your life? ?"
Nangong Yun looked at Xiaowan with interest, with a slightly threatening tone in his words.
He didn't quite understand how a weak woman like Xiaowan, who had just escaped from Wu Laosan's clutches in less than two days, suddenly became so brave.
"I'm very scared. I saw those girls being brutally killed by them before. I was scared to death. Even now, I'm still scared. However, I want to help Brother Yun. I want..."
Xiao Wan suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Nangong Yun blankly, her eyes a little red.
Nangong Yun already understood in his heart when he saw Xiaowan's expression.
He and his senior sister Hong Juan grew up together. The two were childhood sweethearts and fell in love with each other for a long time. Therefore, Nangong Yun was not slow about the relationship between men and women. He naturally saw that Xiao Wan had developed feelings for him.
However, just because he is no stranger to the relationship between men and women, he will naturally put his senior sister Hongjuan first in his heart. What's more, Hongjuan's peerless appearance far surpasses this ordinary mortal woman, so what can he do? Maybe she was attracted by a pretty mortal girl like Xiao Wan.
Nangong Yun sighed, looking at Xiaowan who looked expectant, and said softly.
"Xiao Wan, let's wait until we get to Ten Thousand Beasts City first to make plans."
When Xiaowan saw Nangong Yun compromise and agree, she immediately became extremely happy and her smile was as bright as a flower.
But Nangong Yun was a little embarrassed, and felt tangled in his heart.
"How should I get out of the way as soon as possible? Although he also likes Xiaowan, this kind of 'like' is just like, not that kind of 'like'. My feelings towards Xiaowan are completely different from those towards senior sister. I am sure that towards senior sister Love, alas...forget it, the more you describe it, the darker it gets."
Nangong Yun put away his thoughts and smiled at Xiaowan.
"Xiao Wan, go to sleep. We will prepare to go to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts tomorrow. Remember not to talk to anyone on the way. Don't tell them anything they ask."
"Well, I listen to Brother Yun."
Afterwards, Xiaowan happily went to bed and slept peacefully.
Nangong Yun waited for Xiaowan to breathe evenly, and after falling asleep, he entered the state of cultivation.
However, at this time, Lord Huo sighed in the sea of souls.
Master Huo's actions were naturally noticed by Nangong Yun.
"Master Huo, why are you sighing?"
Nangong Yun asked in a mature and solemn tone, pretending to be deep.
He went through many things during the day, and when he came back, he talked with Xiaowan for a long time. He always felt a little reserved for various reasons.
Only here with Master Huo can he relax and don't have to worry about anything. He can say whatever he wants and say whatever he wants.
So now he says this!
"Your boy's reputation as a 'gentleman among flowers' is truly worthy of the name!"
Master Huo said in a gloating tone.
"It's just that someone's flirtatious and merciless affair will be very bad if his senior sister finds out about it. By then, I'll see how you explain it."
"Haha, it's not as serious as you said, Mr. Huo. Besides, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Once the things are done, I will return to South Vietnam. How will Senior Sister know about these things?"
Nangong Yun has a shrewd look on his face. He is always honest and forthright with Lord Huo and never hides anything.
However, how could he hide his little thoughts from Master Huo? Then, Master Huo said to Nangong Yun with a serious look.
"Just in case, you should take Xiaowan with you when you arrive at Ten Thousand Beasts City. Even if Wu Laosan has been fooled by you now, Wu Tianyong may not be easy to deceive."
"That's right, although I have never met Wu Tianyong, but he must have some means and resourcefulness to become the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City."
Master Huo was very pleased to see that Nangong Yun was now much calmer than before, but he still warned Nangong Yun.
"Oh, it's great to be young, but don't overdo it. What you do is very crucial for you to advance to the Star Realm in the future. Don't just give it to me casually!"
Nangong Yun felt baffled when he heard Master Huo's words.
"Which one are you talking about?"
"It's yours!"
"Which one is it?"
"That's the one!"
"..."
