When he heard his subordinate's report, Nangong Yu had already come out of the dark room and returned to the study.

Lu Zichun was handling things over there, so he didn't want Nangong Haitang to notice anything unusual for the time being.

Because Nangong Yu hadn’t figured out how to deal with it.

Yes, I haven’t thought about it yet.

This world-famous nobleman can handle anything with ease.

At this moment, I am really in trouble.

Whether it is according to the law or according to family rules.

Nangong Haitang's crimes are all punishable by death.

But she is the only remaining bloodline of her aunt.

My aunt had such a hard life. If her only daughter was executed, how would they face their aunt in the afterlife a hundred years later?

And my grandfather’s health has been getting worse in recent years. If he knew about this, I wonder how angry he would be.

Nangong Yu supported his face and closed his eyes.

The guard walked in at this moment.

"Sir, there's a girl in the teahouse, bringing you some clothes."

Nangong Yu raised his eyes, immediately stood up and walked out.

Wei Linglong didn't have to wait long before Nangong Yu arrived.

Glancing at the worry between the young man's brows, she chose her words carefully, "Did something happen to Master Lan?"

Nangong Yu was surprised and his eyes curved into an elegant smile.

"Is it so obvious?"

Wei Linglong nodded.

"Mr. Lan gives me the impression of being free and unfettered."

"Xiaoyao? Such high praise?"

Nangong Yu drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, not paying any attention to the tea etiquette, and acted like a famous scholar.

Wei Linglong was eating snacks in small sips.

Nangong Yu looked at the girl's crystal clear eyes, and for some reason, the restlessness in his heart faded away unconsciously.

The whole person calmed down.

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Miss Lu, can you walk with me?"

He felt a little rude when he said that.

"I'm sorry if this is offensive—"

"fine."

Wei Linglong's eyes curved as she stood up first. "Let's go. Where do you want to go?"

Nangong Yu was very surprised, "Let's go for a walk along the Huai River."

The Huai River is located in the west of the city. It is gentle and clear, and scholars and elegant people like to come here for sightseeing and hold banquets.

Willow trees are planted along the banks. It is late spring now, willow catkins are flying, and the moonlight is casting clear shadows on the river.

The two walked slowly along the shore.

It was always Nangong Yu who was looking for topics.

He is well-read, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and he speaks in a witty and humorous way, so there is never a dull moment.

From time to time, Wei Linglong would cover her mouth and chuckle.

Nangong Yu looked at the starry sky and had never felt so relaxed.

A feeling of relaxation and joy from the inside out, with all worries left behind.

Wei Linglong was a head shorter than him. She wore a light pink skirt and had two crabapple flowers in her hair.

The night wind blew past, lifting the straps behind her head and making them float up and down.

Nangong Yu felt that his heart was like those two straps, heaving up and down, almost jumping out of his chest.

The two kept a polite distance.

Wei Linglong suddenly squatted down and picked up a small flower.

Nangong Yu stood beside him, staring at him gently.

How could someone be so cute, so full of life, he wondered?

Whether it is a leaf, a flower, or a tree, it is unique in her eyes.

Nangong Yu couldn't help but ask about the struggle deep in his heart.

"Miss Lu, if you have a very close person and she did something bad that deserved death, what would you do?"

Wei Linglong was startled for a moment, then smiled with relief.

"If I could, I think I would kill him myself."

Nangong Yu didn't expect that this innocent girl could have such a cold-blooded expression.

But in the next moment, Wei Linglong regained her composure.

Wei Linglong stopped.

"Mr. Lan, it's too late. I want to go home."

Nangong Yu nodded gently.

"I'll take you back."

Wei Linglong was wearing thin clothes today, and she sneezed when the wind blew.

Nangong Yu put the cloak that he had just obtained on Xu Haitang's shoulders.

His smile was as bright as ever.

"Give it to me next time."

Wei Linglong clutched a corner of her cloak.

She knew she should refuse.

They can't have any intersection anymore.

But for some unknown reason, I looked at the elegant young man in front of me, who was as tall and graceful as a jade tree in a fairy palace.

She heard herself answer: "Okay."

Nangong Yu watched the girl's figure gradually walking away, his thoughts rising and falling in his eyes.

He only had one beloved person in his life.

anyway.

He wants to have her.

———

tonight.

It was a sleepless night for many.

So is Xie Ling.

Feeling the breath outside the window, she narrowed her eyes and sneered.

Where did this killer come from? He is so unprofessional that he can't even hide his breath.

Xie Ling took out the Emei Spear from under the pillow and held it in her hand.

The second day.

The people of Mingyue Island gathered together for breakfast.

Yu Wei asked, "Did you hear anyone wailing last night?"

Yuqing: "No, are you hallucinating?"

A disciple nearby raised his hand: "I, I, I heard it, and there were also sounds of swords and knives!"

Everyone looked at Xie Ling.

"Uncle Junior Master, what about you?"

Xie Ling coughed lightly.

"No, you must have heard it wrong. We have to attend a banquet at the Nangong family this afternoon, don't forget."

Today, Xu Haitang was still harboring evil intentions and continued to dress up as a goddess and went to the city center.

This time she learned her lesson and spent a lot of money to hire a dozen people to treat them in front of everyone.

I have to say, this method is effective.

Especially when the black worms were discharged from the human body, the people around all exclaimed in surprise.

evening.

Xie Ling brought all the disciples from Mingyue Island to the Nangong family.

She thought it would be a Hongmen Banquet.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Nangong was so gentle and polite, and the banquet was arranged perfectly, so it can be said that both the guests and the hosts enjoyed themselves.

Xie Ling looked at the gentle and elegant young man sitting in the main seat and understood why he could become the young master of the Nangong family.

They are clearly brothers.

Nangong Cheng acts rashly and lacks consideration.

Nangong Yu, on the other hand, was very careful with his words and was tactful in dealing with people, making people feel very comfortable, like a spring breeze.

Such a person is the true heir to a noble family.

Xie Ling raised her glass to toast him.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Nangong. It's getting late, so we have to leave."

Nangong Yu smiled like a fox.

"Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

"OK."

Xie Ling signaled her disciples to wait for her, and she followed Nangong Yu forward, walked around the rockery and flowing water, and came to a reception room.

She knew that the highlight was coming.

The fox is about to reveal its true colors.

But the next moment.

Xie Ling was very surprised by what Nangong Yu asked.
