Chapter 274 Nangong Family and Shangguan Family
Hearing Yu Youning's rebuttal, the woman's expression became a little embarrassed, "I really don't know what happened afterwards... I misunderstood your mother."
"Since you know that you misunderstood my mother, shouldn't you apologize to her?" Yu Youning imitated an adult and said earnestly, "Admitting your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue!"
The woman blushed a little, and after hesitating for a while, she walked up to Yu Tingwan and apologized sincerely, "Young Island Master, I'm sorry! I misunderstood you before!"
Yu Tingwan hadn't taken the little friction between them seriously. Upon hearing this, she smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, everything will be fine."
Hearing that Yu Tingwan forgave her so easily, the woman smiled even more happily.
"I'm Nangong Meng. I've wanted to meet the Young Island Master for a long time, but I never had the chance before. Now I finally get to see him in person! You're just as amazing as I imagined!"
Hearing her name, Yu Tingwan subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
No wonder he was so proud, it turned out he was from the Nangong family.
The Nangong family is a reclusive family that owns several mines, including coal, iron, and silver.
With these mines in hand, the Nangong family became very rich and also recruited a lot of people.
In recent years, the Nangong family has been relatively low-key, basically not participating in the affairs of the martial arts world, and certainly not opposing the imperial court.
Yu Tingwan was still quite surprised to meet someone from the Nangong family here.
However, judging from the current situation, the Nangong family’s goal may not necessarily be the gold mine. It is very likely that it is just to let Nangong Meng come out for some training.
When the younger generation in the family grows up, they must go out and gain some experience.
Otherwise, no matter how much you learn, it will just be empty talk.
Although Yu Tingwan thought a lot, in fact, it only took a moment.
Yu Tingwan nodded at Nangong Meng, "So it's Miss Nangong."
Nangong Meng's face flushed instantly, "Young Island Master, you're too polite! You don't have to call me Miss Nangong, just call me by my name!"
"I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you A Meng!" Yu Tingwan said with a smile.
Nangong Meng nodded vigorously, "Okay! Then can I call you Sister Tingwan?"
"sure."
Yu Youning ran over at this time, "What should I do? I just called you pretty sister, so do I have to call you pretty aunt from now on?"
Nangong Meng had just come of age and even had the mentality of a little girl. She had never thought that someone would call her aunt.
But if she didn't allow Yu Youning to call her aunt, then she would call Yu Tingwan aunt...
When there is no comparison, there may still be some confusion.
But once there is a comparison, a choice will be made immediately.
Nangong Meng squatted down and pinched Yu Youning's little face, "Yes, from now on you can just call me Aunt Nangong!"
"Aunt Nangong, are you here to look for gold mines too?" Yu Youning asked, tilting her little head.
Hearing this question, Nangong Meng couldn't help laughing, "You little girl, you are not that old, but you know a lot. You even know about gold mines!"
"Of course I know!" Yu Youning answered as a matter of course.
Not only did she know about the gold mine, she had also seen it!
Penglai Island may have more than one gold mine.
"Yes." Nangong Meng suppressed a smile and answered seriously, "My family elders heard that there is a gold mine here and also got a treasure map, so they asked me to bring people out to check out the situation. Not only our Nangong family, but also several other hidden families and some sects in the martial arts world have sent people here.
Before we came here, we had already agreed that whether or not we could find the gold mine depended on our own abilities, but we had to keep the news secret and not let the imperial court know. Otherwise, even if we did find the gold mine, we wouldn't be able to keep it."
Speaking of this, Nangong Meng's expression suddenly became nervous.
"Sister Tingwan, you appear here, but has the court received the news?"
Nangong Meng never inquired about Yu Tingwan's news later, but even so, she knew that Yu Youning had a close relationship with the prince, and Yu Youning's grandfather was Marshal Wen.
The mother and daughter have close relations with people in the court and can be considered half members of the court.
Their appearance here at this time makes it hard not to think of the imperial court.
Yu Tingwan didn't hesitate at all. When Nangong Meng asked, she simply nodded, "Yes, the court is aware of it now. But they probably won't send troops for the time being."
Nangong Meng smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just here to join in the fun, I don't really want to take over this gold mine. Even if the court sends troops, I don't care."
Although she is young and has little experience, she still understands what she should understand.
Even if a gold mine could be found, it was right next to the capital. How could it be mined without alerting the imperial court?
Anyone who really wants to take this gold mine for himself is really crazy.
When Nangong Meng was speaking, everyone was looking at her, and they could tell from the expression on her face that she was not lying.
This also made Yu Tingwan feel relieved.
It is always a good thing that the Nangong family does not get involved.
"Since we are all curious, let's go together!" Yu Tingwan said.
Nangong Meng agreed without any hesitation, "Okay!"
As she spoke, she looked at Yu Youning, "Youning, do you want me to carry you?"
"Aunt Nangong, I'm not a child anymore, of course I don't need you to hold me!"
Nangong Meng couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
It turns out that children always like to emphasize that they are not children!
She seemed to see her former self in Yu Youning!
Everyone in the Nangong family followed Nangong Meng and had no opinion on her decision.
Even when Nangong Meng's sword broke, they had no intention of taking action.
Now, he followed behind without saying a word, allowing Nangong Meng, Yu Youning and Yu Tingwan to walk together.
They continued to move forward, and as they went deeper into the mountains, there were fewer and fewer traces of people walking on the ground.
When the traces completely disappeared, Nangong Meng stopped and pointed ahead, saying, "Look, we walked here last night."
Yu Youning found the treasure map, looked at it carefully, and then pointed to a place on it, "We should be here now!"
Nangong Meng nodded. "Yes, according to the route drawn here, we should go in this direction. But further ahead, there is a cliff. It is at most a hundred feet away from the other side. Even if we use Qinggong, we may not be able to get across. We think there must be another way."
Just as Yu Youning was about to speak, he heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Then, someone sneered, "You can't get through because your Qinggong skills are not good enough. I think you should go home quickly and stay in your Nangong family and be a good young lady!"
Yu Youning and others looked back and saw the person who was speaking, who was also a young woman, about the same age as Nangong Meng.
The woman was wearing purple clothes. She was very beautiful, with deep facial features and a very aggressive look.
Nangong Meng lowered her voice and said, "This is Shangguan Xianrui from the Shangguan family. She's been against me since we were little! Sister Tingwan, if we start fighting later, don't get involved, or she'll hate you too."
Yu Tingwan smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Do you know who is standing behind her?"
"Who is it?" Nangong Meng asked curiously, "I've never seen him before. Judging from his attire, he doesn't look like someone from the Shangguan family."
"She is indeed not from the Shangguan family. She is the fake daughter you mentioned before."
Nangong Meng was shocked. "She is Lin Siqiong? I heard that her daughter became the crown princess of Xiliang. She came all the way here from Xiliang just to take her back. She finally got out of prison, and instead of returning to Xiliang, she came here to do—"
Before she finished speaking, Nangong Meng looked at the short girl again, "Could that be Lin Siqiong's daughter, the current Xiliang Crown Princess?"
"Aunt Nangong, you are so smart! You guessed it right away!" Yu Youning agreed.
Nangong Meng, "..."
Is this her cleverness?
Anyone could probably guess this!
Nangong Meng looked at the people around him, then at the person opposite him, and felt deeply that he had made the right decision this time!
If you stay at home all the time, you won’t be able to see such exciting scenes even in martial arts novels!
Tuoba Ruoli stared at Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu who was standing next to her.
But in the end, Tuoba Ruoli still said nothing, and withdrew his gaze indifferently, "Let's go!"
She still had to go find the gold mine and had no time to waste talking to them here.
She will use her actions to tell everyone that she is much more powerful than Yu Youning!
Shangguan Xianrui snorted and immediately followed Tuoba Ruoli.
Seeing them heading towards the cliff, Nangong Meng's eyes were full of curiosity, "Are they planning to go over there? Should we follow them and see?"
Yu Tingwan nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
Tuoba Ruoli is from Xiliang after all, and she actually brought people to look for the gold mine belonging to Dayong. Is she crazy?
The child is ignorant, but are the delegation around her also ignorant?
For now, I can only follow and see, and then decide based on the situation.
The group followed and soon arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Just as Nangong Meng said, this cliff is more than a hundred feet away from the opposite side. Even if you use lightness skills, you may not be able to fly over.
Even if you are brave enough and willing to give it a try, it is easy to die if you try!
Shangguan Xianrui looked towards them at this time, "Why are you following us? Are you expecting us to take you there? Stop dreaming!"
Nangong Meng's eyes were filled with curiosity, and she didn't argue with Shangguan Xianrui. "How are you going to get there?"
Shangguan Xianrui thought Nangong Meng's question was a sign of surrender, so she immediately said, "We naturally have our own ways! The Crown Princess is no ordinary person!"
