This was the first time anyone present had ever heard a young girl say she wanted to marry a man.
Wuming stood there stunned, his expression unreadable because of the veil.
Feng Guang's eyes lit up, showing great interest in how things would unfold. Since she was interested, Xie Zhan was also interested. He smiled, but said to Nan Guo with a troubled expression, "Wu Ming is not one of my people. How can I give him to you?"
Nan Guo said, "You just said that he had a ten-year promise to you."
"Does the young lady mean I should ask Wuming to go back with you?"
“My father said that as a woman, I should take responsibility and not just walk away after ruining someone’s reputation, so I have to take responsibility for him.”
What strange theories did your dad say to you? He touched you, not the other way around!
Nan Guo then looked at Xie Zhan and said, "If you refuse to give him to me, I can't beat you, but my father will definitely come to my aid."
Xie Zhan asked with a smile, "Did your father teach you such superb swordsmanship, young lady?"
“My mother taught me swordsmanship,” Nan Guo replied. “My father taught me whip techniques.”
Xie Zhan seemed to ponder for a moment, "Judging from your martial arts skills alone, I can tell that your parents' martial arts skills must be extraordinary. If the two of you come to me for my person, I'm afraid I will not be able to handle it."
"My mother won't fight with you."
Feng Guang interjected, "Why?"
Nan Guo said in a serious tone, "My mother doesn't like fighting with beautiful women."
"Third Uncle!" Feng Guang immediately grabbed Xie Zhan's hand and said, "You should give Wuming to the Southern Kingdom!"
She was terrified. If a martial arts master like Nan Guo's mother took a liking to Xie Zhan, she wouldn't be able to snatch him back even if she tried.
"Don't rush." Xie Zhan chuckled softly, naturally understanding why Feng Guang was in such a hurry.
At this moment, Nan Guo pulled off the white jade pendant from her waist and said, "This is my family's heirloom jade pendant. It can ward off evil spirits and poison. It was a gift from my father when we first met. I've never been able to sell it. Now, how about I trade this jade pendant for your stinky man?"
Feng Guang then pulled Xie Zhan's hand back and forth, saying, "Since Nan Guo is so sincere about exchanging, just give Wuming to her."
Xie Zhan glanced at the jade pendant in Nan Guo's hand and said, "This is a jade pendant made of immortal jade. The wearer can prolong life and it is priceless. If you really want to exchange this jade pendant for Wuming, I'm afraid your father will not agree to this unprofitable deal."
Losing money...
Wuming suddenly felt a pang of sadness, but since he was always taciturn, he remained silent.
Nan Guo blinked innocently, "I didn't know this jade pendant was so precious."
"May I ask what the young lady's father's name is?" Xie Zhan asked. Anyone who could possess this jade pendant must not be an ordinary person.
Nan Guo only said, "I don't know his name. I only know that my mother called him a debt collector, and everyone else calls him Mr. Wen."
Feng Guang asked in confusion, "Don't you have your father's surname?"
"I take my mother's surname."
Feng Guang nodded, then looked at Xie Zhan.
Xie Zhan looked apologetically at Wuming, but the smile in his eyes showed no remorse. "Wuming, this girl's parents are not ordinary. Even if I don't let you go with her, you will be kidnapped by her parents. In that case, why don't you take the initiative to leave with this girl?"
"General..."
Xie Zhan easily raised his hand, and Wuming, who wanted to say something, was pushed to Nanguo's side by a palm strike.
