It was already late at night after sending Feng Shuting back to the house, and it was inconvenient for Ye Hong to bother Sister Nangong Ying's yard again. My mind was also in a mess, and I no longer wanted to get involved in too many things in Nangong Mansion. I thought someone would solve it, so I went back to my room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Ye Hong did not hear anything about theft or thieves breaking into the mansion last night. As for the noise outside Nangong Mansion last night, the servants of Nangong Mansion said it was because the Xiao family was in the city last night. Searching for people, this made the cocks crow and the dogs bark.
As for who the Xiao family was searching for, the servants didn't know much. They only knew that a cultivator at the golden elixir stage had offended the Xiao family, which made the Xiao family search all over the city with great fanfare.
Since there was nothing to do, Ye Hong wandered around the Nangong Mansion. Hearing the sound of the piano, he happened to pass by Sister Nangong Ying's yard. Suddenly I remembered that the two men in black came in here last night, so I came over to ask Sister Nangong Ying.
Not long after entering the courtyard, Ye Hong saw Nangong Ling, who was coming out of his room in a hurry, as if he was going out.
"Second Miss Nangong! Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Nangong Ling was startled by Ye Hong's voice, "Master Ye! Why is it you? Aren't you already gone?"
"I'm back to do some errands. I'm coming to Nangong Mansion to stay for a few days. Why doesn't Second Miss Nangong welcome me?"
"Welcome, welcome! Well... Mr. Ye, I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Nangong Ling hurriedly left the courtyard without waiting for Ye Hong's reply.
"What's so urgent? Forget it, let's find Nangong Ying!" Ye Hong shook his head helplessly and followed the sound of the piano to where Nangong Ying was playing.
At this time, Feng Shuting was also beside Nangong Ying. Because Ye Hong's steps were slow, neither of them noticed Ye Hong coming. Ye Hong did not step forward to disturb the two of them, but came behind them and listened quietly to the melodious sound of the piano until the playing was over.
"Ah! Mr. Ye!"
"Junior brother! You scared me."
Ye Hong smiled and spoke calmly.
Said: "The sound of the piano is so beautiful that I can't bear to interrupt it. Ying'er's skills have improved again."
Nangong Ying stood up and saluted, and said humbly: "Young Master Ye, thank you very much! I wonder if Mr. Ye has anything important to say when you come here?"
Ye Hong waved his hands and asked curiously: "Nothing, I just walked around casually. When I came here just now, I saw your sister going out in a hurry. Is she very busy recently?"
"My sister has been leaving early and coming home late recently. She is often out and we see her very rarely. I don't know what she does specifically. I don't know much about it."
"Oh! Did you notice anything unusual last night? Did you see any suspicious people in the courtyard?"
Nangong Ying thought for a while and said, "I went to bed early last night and didn't find anything unusual. As for whether there have been any suspicious people in the courtyard recently, there was one."
Nangong Ying paused for a moment mid-sentence, then smiled and said, "That suspicious person is you Mr. Ye!"
"What's suspicious about me?" Ye Hong couldn't help but be speechless.
"This is a women's residence. Isn't it suspicious that Mr. Ye comes in quietly like this and even comes behind her?"
Ye Hong was very embarrassed, "Uh... I'm leaving!"
Seeing that Ye Hong was about to leave, Nangong Ying hurriedly persuaded him to stay and said, "Young Master Ye, I'm kidding you, why are you leaving in such a hurry? If nothing happens, you can let me and Sister Feng teach you how to play the piano."
Ye Hong thought for a moment that he had nothing to do and was bored, so he stayed and learned to play the piano. Ye Hong was also happy to have two beauties in his company.
But not long after, a group of people suddenly broke into Nangong Mansion, which brought Ye Hong's leisurely time to an end.
The gate of Nangong Mansion
"After entering, search each room for me! Don't miss any corner!"
"yes!"
The group of people behind him immediately followed the leading man and rushed into Nangong Mansion.
Seeing someone breaking into Nangong Mansion, the guards and stewards in the mansion came to stop them.
"What are you doing! This is Nangong Mansion!"
"What's wrong with Nangong Mansion? The Xiao family is doing something! If you don't want to die, get out of here! You're an eyesore!"
The leading man kicked the steward of Nangong Mansion to the ground, and asked his men to enter the mansion, open every room, and search every corner.
Nangong Wenhao happened to come back from doing something outside at this time. When he saw that a servant was injured at the door and someone broke into the house, he hurried in to see what was going on. I saw a group of people wreaking havoc in the house, rummaging around, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
"What are you doing! Who gave you the right to break into my mansion! If you don't leave, I will call the law enforcement team!"
The leading man glanced at Nangong Wenhao and saw that he was only in the late Nascent Soul stage and was no match for him. He snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention.
"Master! They are from the Xiao family." A servant came over quickly and said to Nangong Wenhao.
Nangong Wenhao was shocked after hearing this. He looked carefully and saw that those people had Xiao family tokens hanging on their waists.
Nangong Wenhao also heard about the Xiao family's search for people in the city early in the morning. Although he was shocked why the Xiao family would come to his house, he still had to step forward to stop the Xiao family's actions.
Said: "It turned out to be a guest of the Xiao family. I wonder if you came to my house to search for people. What evidence do you have? If you can't produce evidence, please leave quickly. You have to be reasonable in Blazing City!"
"What evidence do you need to search for people in this shabby place of yours? I'll give you face, right?" The man pushed Nangong Wenhao away.
Nangong Wenhao said angrily: "Your Excellency, you are too arrogant. This is my Nangong Mansion, and it is protected by the Blazing Flame Palace! Are you not taking the Blazing Flame Palace seriously if you lead people to wander around like this?"
"You're a little Nangong family, don't take yourself too seriously! If you don't get out of here, I'll arrest you too!" the leading man said unceremoniously.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you stop us from searching for the thief again, I will suspect that you are harboring the thief and arrest the entire Nangong family! When the time comes to the head of the family, none of you will be able to escape your involvement."
"Master, this..."
Nangong Wenhao was also angry and dared not speak out. He could not defeat the people of the Xiao family in front of him with his own cultivation. If he fought against the Xiao family, the entire Nangong family would not be able to compensate. His dignity or the lives of the whole family, whichever was more important, he still had to pay. considerate.
"Hey! Let them search!" Nangong Wenhao sighed helplessly.
With Nangong Wenhao's words, the servants of Nangong Mansion did not dare to stop this group of people from entering the mansion to search.
"That's where the distinguished guests and young ladies in my residence live. You can't go in and search there!" Seeing someone breaking into the courtyard where Ye Hong was, the housekeeper hurriedly stopped them.
"It doesn't matter other places. You really can't search here! There are important guests living here." Nangong Wenhao remembered that Ye Hong lived in the courtyard over there, and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Go away! Do you want to die!"
In response to Nangong Wenhao's repeated obstructions, the leading man from the Xiao family was very angry. He unleashed his Dharma pressure and knocked Nangong Wenhao away with one palm.
Nangong Wenhao hit the wall and was seriously injured. The servants of Nangong Mansion hurriedly came over to help him.
Nangong Wenhao saw that the men from the Xiao family had taken the lead and broke into the courtyard. He was afraid that the Xiao family would anger Ye Hong, so he was very anxious, but he couldn't stop it. In his hurry, he thought of Huang Fangwu and hurriedly said to the servant next to him.
"Go to the young master of the Huang family quickly! Report this matter!"
Nangong Wenhao then followed the steps of the Xiao family and entered the courtyard. When everyone entered, the first thing they came to was the courtyard where Ye Hong and Feng Shuting lived.
Seeing people from the Xiao family kicking open the doors of each room arrogantly, Nangong Wenhao felt anxious, feeling that the behavior of these people from the Xiao family would definitely anger Ye Hong.
"Oops! What to do!" Nangong Wenhao was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot - spinning around.
The Xiao family members quickly found the room where Ye Hong and Feng Shuting lived. Seeing that the door was kicked open, Nangong Wenhao's heart was in his throat.
I thought I would be greeted by Ye Hong's wrath, but I didn't expect that there was no one in the room, and it was completely empty.
"Why is there no one? Did he leave again?" Nangong Wenhao was puzzled.
When Nangong Wenhao was confused, Nangong Ling hurried back from outside and happened to arrive at this courtyard.
"Dad! What's going on? Who are they?"
"They are from the Xiao family. They said they were coming to search for some thief. I don't know who offended the Xiao family."
"What! Are they from the Xiao family?" Nangong Ling was shocked, with anxiety and worry on his face.
Nangong Wenhao nodded, "Hey! Fortunately, Brother Ye has left, otherwise he would be angry if he was disturbed by these people. We, the Nangong family, can't afford to offend!"
"Young Master Ye hasn't left yet! I saw him coming to my sister's and my courtyard just now when I went out. He should be at my sister's place at this time."
"This, this, this! Hey!"
When Nangong Ling saw that these people were about to enter his courtyard next door, he hurriedly rushed forward.
"You can't come in here!"
"Where are you from this ignorant maid? Get out of here!" The Xiao family members who were stopped shouted sternly.
When Nangong Wenhao saw his daughter's behavior, he hurriedly stepped forward to pull her back, but before Nangong Wenhao could step forward, Nangong Ling was caught by the leading Xiao family man.
"I think you look like one of the thieves last night. Catch me!"
Nangong Wenhao quickly explained, "My lord, you must have misunderstood! This is my little daughter, she cannot be a thief!"
The leading man of the Xiao family sneered, "Oh! So she's your daughter! That's easy to say."
Nangong Wenhao originally thought that the leading man of the Xiao family would let go of his daughter, but he did not expect that the next words of the leading man of the Xiao family made Nangong Wenhao feel cold.
"Come here! Capture them all and take them back!"
"I respect you because you are a member of the Xiao family, but how can you arrest people indiscriminately like this! Don't think I'm afraid of you, arresting people requires evidence!" Nangong Wenhao said angrily.
"What evidence do we, the Xiao family, need to arrest someone! You old man, don't know what is good and what is good!"
Seeing that the man from the Xiao family in front of him was about to take action again without saying a word, Nangong Wenhao hurriedly defended himself. But Nangong Wenhao was no match for the men of the Xiao family. Even if he defended himself in time, he was still punched away and fell into the courtyard next door where Nangong Ying was.
"Let me go in and search for people first!"
With an order, a group of people from the Xiao family rushed into the courtyard next door. The leading man of the Xiao family raised Nangong Ling's chin and looked at it carefully.
"Stop struggling, you can't get away. As long as you serve me well tonight, I will consider letting your family go." The man from the Xiao family came close to Nangong Ling and whispered in Nangong Ling's ear.
Nangong Ling was originally extremely nervous, but when she heard what the Xiao family man said, she felt extremely disgusted and spittle flew out.
"Bah! Dirty!"
"You bitch!"
Nangong Ling was kicked to the ground, holding her abdomen in pain, and was immediately controlled by several people from the Xiao family. The leading man from the Xiao family walked into the courtyard next door.
