Chapter 10 Companion Reading
Chapter 10 Companion Reading
"I don't blame you for ignoring me all these years, but I still can't forgive you for not doing anything to them even though you knew my mother was killed by them." Nangong Jing looked straight into Nangong Tao's eyes and said fearlessly.
Nangong Tao had a strong murderous aura due to his years of fighting on the battlefield. Even the eldest son, Nangong Mu, was very afraid of him when he was young, but it only got better when he grew up. But Nangong Jing was not afraid of his murderous aura at all, and even dared to confront him directly.
Nangong Tao now really took Nangong Jing seriously, simply because he was Nangong Jing and not because he was born to him by Qiao Huaner.
"Blame me if you want. Even if you forgive me, I can't forgive myself." Nangong Tao stared at Nangong Jing for a long time and said heavily.
If Qiao Huan'er and Nangong Tao had been together for longer, perhaps Nangong Tao would not have loved her so deeply. However, Qiao Huan'er died at the peak of their relationship, due to Nangong Tao's negligence and the women he had with her. Unfortunately, Nangong Tao has not yet been able to avenge Qiao Huan'er, because his guilt and love for Qiao Huan'er have reached their peak. Qiao Huan'er has completely become the irreplaceable white moonlight and cinnabar mole in Nangong Tao's heart.
Nangong Jing looked at the grief in Nangong Tao's eyes and did not feel pity for Nangong Tao but felt very angry. After knowing the truth about Qiao Huaner's death, Nangong Jing felt that Nangong Tao should live in grief to atone for Qiao Huaner.
Nangong Tao really didn't know how to get along with Nangong Jing. Except for the first day when he brought Nangong Jing to the yard where he lived, Nangong Tao went out early and came back late in the following days, as if he deliberately avoided meeting Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing didn't care. After moving to Nangong Tao's courtyard, Nangong Jing's life had changed drastically. The most obvious thing was that his three meals a day were no longer cold, but even rich. Even the servants around him had been replaced by Nangong Tao. Instead of looking down on him, they were cautious and respectful to him.
Nangong Jing knew that the people in the backyard were eager to get rid of him, so Nangong Jing stayed in his yard every day to exercise and never left the yard, so that those people in the backyard would have no chance to do anything even if they wanted to.
Nangong Jing was treated coldly since he was a child, so his health was not good and even his foundation was damaged. In his previous life, Nangong Jing didn't know all this and before he had recovered his body, he followed the teacher hired by Nangong Tao to practice magic. As a result, he almost died when he tried to break through to the War Sect. Later, he found out that it was a hidden danger left by the damage to his foundation that had not been healed.
What Nangong Jing didn't expect was that Nangong Tao brought him a piece of news before he recovered. After hearing the news brought by Nangong Tao, Nangong Jing was shocked again, because this thing had never happened in his previous life.
"Father." Nangong Jing was a little surprised when he saw Nangong Tao appear, but he quickly reacted and bowed respectfully to Nangong Tao.
Nangong Tao nodded faintly at Nangong Jing, then walked to the table and sat down and said to Nangong Jing, "There's news from the palace that they're selecting a study companion for the Seventh Prince. Officials of the First Rank and above are welcome to sign up. I've already signed you up. You're about the same age as the Seventh Prince, and with your talent and my position, there's a good chance you'll be selected."
Nangong Jing's mind was completely blank. Xuanyuan Xingyao was choosing a study partner? What was going on? Xuanyuan Xingyao had never chosen a study partner in his previous life, or perhaps he didn't even know about it. But knowing Nangong Tao, Nangong Jing knew if Xuanyuan Xingyao really wanted one, he would definitely sign him up, just like he did this time. What on earth was going on? Had something changed again?
Nangong Tao saw that Nangong Jing was distracted and called Nangong Jing angrily.
"I'm sorry, father. I'm so shocked. The Seventh Prince is seven years old this year. He didn't choose a study partner after awakening at the age of five. Why does he suddenly have to choose one now?" Nangong Jing came back to his senses and asked curiously.
Nangong Tao's expression brightened after hearing Nangong Jing's explanation. He thought Nangong Jing was just shocked because he hadn't seen the world before, so he replied, "I'm not sure about that. During the morning court today, the emperor suddenly said he wanted to choose a study partner for the seventh prince, and there was no news of this before. But this is a good opportunity for you. The summoners enshrined in the palace are all top-tier masters on the continent. If you can receive their enlightenment, you might be able to summon even more powerful monsters. And if you become a study partner, you'll have to move into the palace and only come back once every ten days, which will be safer for you."
When Nangong Tao heard the news about selecting a study partner, he knew that Nangong Jing's chance had come. In fact, he also knew that with Nangong Jing's talent, his women would definitely not let Nangong Jing go, otherwise they would not have brought Nangong Jing back that day.
But no matter how well Nangong Tao protected Nangong Jing, there would still be times when he was negligent. But if Nangong Jing became a companion and moved to the palace, it would be different. No matter how powerful those women were, it would be impossible for them to reach into the palace.
