Chapter 781 Enemies of the World?
"Sir, please stop drinking. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and drinking too much will harm your health."
In a restaurant, an old servant was advising Nangong Yuanwu, who was holding a wine jar.
"It's nothing. I've had this injury for decades. A little alcohol won't make it much worse."
Nangong Yuanwu waved his hand, his whole body reeking of alcohol, and said in a drunken, drowsy voice.
The former Nascent Soul Realm expert was now filled with dejection.
"But Miss said you're not allowed to drink alcohol until she returns," the old servant continued earnestly.
Upon hearing the old servant mention Mo Hongyun, Nangong Yuanwu paused for a moment, and the wine jar in his hand involuntarily drooped.
The old servant was overjoyed to see that it was working. He knew that only by mentioning Miss Hongyun would the master listen.
"Master, Miss said that as long as she comes out of seclusion next time, she will ask someone to help refine a batch of Transformation Pills, and then your injuries will be able to recover."
"Recover from injuries?" Nangong Yuanwu's face showed a hint of bitterness. "The Transformation Pill is extremely precious. Only a master alchemist can refine such a pill. Even if Hongyun has an extraordinary status now, her cultivation is still shallow and her seniority in the Netherworld Palace is low. How could she be so easy to ask for help?"
"That's still hope. Before she left, Miss instructed you to take good care of yourself, Master. She would be angry if she knew you were still drinking every day," the old servant earnestly advised.
"Okay, okay, then we won't drink anymore, let's go back."
Nangong Yuanwu threw the wine jar in his hand onto the table and was about to pay the bill and leave.
However, a voice suddenly rang out the next moment.
"Senior, you have such refined taste, coming out for drinks so early. It seems I've arrived just in time."
As these words fell, two figures slowly walked up from downstairs.
Nangong Yuanwu stared blankly at Lu Qing, who had brought Xiao Yan up. He never expected to see her here.
"Senior Nangong, it's been a long time."
Lu Qing looked at the dazed Nangong Yuanwu and smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing here?"
Nangong Yuanwu snapped out of his daze, a look of anxiety creeping onto his face.
As for the old servant standing to the side, he was originally on guard, but seeing the master's appearance, it seemed that he knew the young man in front of him, so he suppressed the fluctuations of magic power in his body.
But he still dared not let his guard down.
For some reason, he felt an immense sense of terror emanating from the young man in front of him.
Even the girl beside him was like a sharp sword with its edge concealed, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.
More importantly, he couldn't discern the cultivation levels of the two people in front of him at all!
There are generally only two reasons why this might happen.
First, both of these people possess extraordinary treasures that can conceal their cultivation aura.
Secondly, the two people in front of him are far superior to him in terms of cultivation level.
Whatever the reason, the old servant dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Of course I walked in," Lu Qing said with a smile. "What, senior, don't you welcome this junior?"
"Of course not," Nangong Yuanwu quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you aware that the Holy Alliance is currently..."
At this point, Nangong Yuanwu subconsciously shut his mouth.
Although this place is within the Nangong family's sphere of influence, as the saying goes, too many people can hear too many things. If someone were to hear Lu Qing's identity, it would likely cause a huge uproar.
"Senior, there's no need to worry. No one will hear us talking here," Lu Qing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yuanwu was taken aback at first, and then realized that the noisy voices outside had disappeared at some point, and the entire restaurant had fallen into silence.
He immediately realized that this was Lu Qing's doing.
He felt relieved.
This mysterious young man, who has stirred up tremendous waves in the Tianyuan Great World over the years, possesses supernatural abilities that far exceed his imagination.
Since Lu Qing said that no one could hear their conversation, it must be true.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I didn't expect to see you here. And who is this gentleman?"
Nangong Yuanwu looked at Xiaoyan.
He secretly admired her, for even in all his years, he had rarely seen such a person with such fair skin and delicate bones.
“This is my younger sister, Xiaoyan. Come and pay your respects to your senior,” Lu Qing gestured.
"Greetings, senior." Xiaoyan bowed obediently.
"So it's your younger sister. She is indeed beautiful and refined, with a fairy-like appearance."
Nangong Yuanwu couldn't help but praise, and his heart stirred even more.
Lu Qing has always been extremely mysterious, and no one knows his true identity or origin.
It's quite strange that a younger sister has suddenly appeared.
However, Nangong Yuanwu could see that Xiaoyan and Lu Qing did indeed look quite similar, so the claim that they were siblings was probably true.
However, Lu Qing's strength when he entered the Tianyuan Great World was all brought up by him.
I wonder how his sister got in.
He probed his own storage magic treasure with his mind, intending to take out a small gift.
However, the emptiness of the storage magic treasure made Nangong Yuanwu suddenly freeze.
He then realized that his predicament over the years had left him unable to even afford a gift he wanted.
"You flatter me, senior," Lu Qing said. "However, judging from your aura, you seem to be still recovering from your injuries. May I ask what the reason is?"
Lu Qing also felt something was strange.
He knew that Nangong Yuanwu had been assassinated by assassins from the Netherworld Palace and had almost died.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, his injuries have not healed.
Judging from his current aura, he has even fallen to the Nascent Soul realm, and is not even as good as an ordinary Golden Core realm cultivator.
"This is a long story, so let's not go into it. But Fellow Daoist Lu, you have made quite a name for yourself over the years, which is truly astonishing."
However, Nangong Yuanwu seemed unwilling to discuss the matter in detail, and instead changed the subject.
"Oh, so the matter of this junior has reached you, senior?" Lu Qing said calmly.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, the things you have done are famous throughout the world. I am not in a remote and impoverished place, how could I not know about them?” Nangong Yuanwu sighed.
“That’s perfect. I’ve been in seclusion for many years and have only recently emerged. I’m not familiar with the current situation in the world. Would you be so kind as to explain it to me, senior?” Lu Qing asked humbly.
He wasn't surprised; Nangong Yuanwu had guessed that he was the one who did those things.
After all, even the Five Treasures Taoist has been captured, so it's likely that the Holy Alliance has already investigated his whereabouts after entering the Tianyuan Great World.
It's not surprising that all the identities he used were exposed.
"Has Fellow Daoist Lu been in seclusion all these years?"
Nangong Yuanwu was surprised.
Over the years, the Holy Alliance and many sects and families have spared no effort in searching for Lu Qing's whereabouts.
The result was fruitless; Lu Qing seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air.
Therefore, many people speculate that he must have already left the Tianyuan Great World and fled far away.
Now it seems, could it be that he has been hiding somewhere in seclusion all along?
"More or less," Lu Qing said. "That's why I wanted to ask you for advice, senior. Is my current situation not so good?"
"I see. No wonder you came to find me, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Nangong Yuanwu then understood why Lu Qing was so bold as to appear openly in their Nangong family's territory.
It turned out that he had only recently come out of seclusion and was still unaware of many things.
He sighed and then said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, your current situation is more than just bad; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you are an enemy of the entire world."
