The Nangong family members were also present. They witnessed what their young master had done this time: he voluntarily gave up his chance to advance, and after being framed by that person, he still sat in his seat with a smug look on his face. This action made the Nangong family head furious, but he never took his eyes off Nangong Yu while sitting in his seat.
After waiting until Nangong Yu was alone, someone went to fetch him. Nangong Yu was watching the performance of Fu Ziyi, Baili Xiuwen, and others on the stage with great interest when he realized that his family head had already brought people to arrest him. Nangong Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter. He stopped laughing and quietly followed the Nangong family members away from his seat.
Shangguan Xi was focused on watching the people above and didn't notice that Nangong Yu had already left. When she realized what was happening and turned around, Nangong Yu was nowhere to be seen. She frowned and muttered, "This person is so strange. He was watching the competition properly, but now he's disappeared."
After muttering to himself, Shangguan Xi turned back to focus intently on the scene before him, not taking Nangong Yu's departure to heart at all.
Nangong Yu is a thoughtful adult who knows what he is doing, what he should do and what he shouldn't do, so there's no need to worry that he will do anything outrageous.
Xu Yuehuai was always thinking about Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen who were still inside. She originally thought that once she eliminated them, they would be unaffected by any difficult or dangerous situations that might arise later. However, an unexpected event occurred before her plan.
She sat in her seat, her face not looking too good. There was no joy in her eyes at all, only a worried expression, as if something great was troubling her.
The ancient man kept an eye on her situation. He was very curious about what kind of person Xu Yuehuai was, and it was this curiosity that led him to continue observing.
...
On the other side, as Nangong Yu was being led away, he kept thinking about what he should say to appease his father. After all, this was no small matter; he had participated in the competition without the consent of the Nangong family head and had acted on his own.
It's one thing to act recklessly now, but to cause such a mess is another. If he were my father, he would definitely scold me for being out of my mind.
When he arrived in front of the Nangong family head, Nangong Yu lowered his head and did not dare to look up and meet the Nangong family head's eyes. The Nangong family head sneered and said, "I never knew you were so capable. You went to such a competition without hesitation, and then someone took advantage of your trust and eliminated you in the middle of the competition. Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable to anyone in my Nangong family!"
Nangong Yu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with displeasure, and said, "Father, this is no one else's fault. If anyone is to blame, it's me. My strength was insufficient, and I failed to react in time, which gave Senior Sister the opportunity to eliminate me. Besides, if it weren't for Senior Sister, I might still be stuck in the first round!"
"You're certainly defending her, but do you see if she cares about you? Could it be that you've fallen for that girl? If so..." The head of the Nangong family gazed into the distance, deep in thought.
Nangong Yu knew that something bad was going to happen if he acted like this, so she quickly interrupted his thoughts, "I didn't. You don't know anything about what I did in the sect. As the senior sister, Xu Yuehuai has helped me a lot, both inside and outside the sect, so I am grateful. But why does everything you say have turned into something so filthy about a relationship between a man and a woman?"
When he said his last words, his eyes clearly showed incomprehension, confusion, and even a hint of disappointment.
The head of the Nangong family slammed his fist on the table. "Outrageous! Is this how you talk to me? I'm your father, and you act like you've gone too far just because I ask about your situation? Do you even respect me as your father anymore?!"
The Nangong family head's voice was deafening, but fortunately, as a special guest, he was seated in a private room at the back, so no one heard him angrily rebuking Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Of course I wouldn't dare, but I feel that you shouldn't wrong my friends for no reason. These friends have always been there for me when none of you were around. Now that you're back, you're questioning my friends the moment you return. You expect me to be grateful for this? I really can't do that."
When he said this, his tone was very calm, as if it were a stagnant pool of water. Beneath the calm and still surface of the lake, there are always some earth-shattering stories.
The head of the Nangong family hesitated for a moment before he could rebuke his son. He looked at his son as if he were seeing him for the first time, opened his mouth but could not say anything. Finally, he sighed and said, "Wasn't everything I did for you? Are you blaming your mother and me for not spending more time with you at home? If we had always been at home with you, everything you have now would be gone, and no one would respect you. You would be no different from a stray dog on the street."
The head of the Nangong family was used to being outside, and when he returned home, he would always give orders about certain things, including his son's thoughts.
Outsiders are unaware of the Nangong family's situation, including Nangong Yu himself, who has never spoken of it. Even Shangguan Xi and the others are unaware that the reason Nangong Yu has been away from home for so long without being reminded by the family guards is because his parents have been busy outside and have no time to take care of him, which has led to his current personality.
Nangong Yu lowered his head. He had no right to refute these things. The Nangong family head's words were all true, and every word pierced his heart. He said weakly, "Can you stop arguing with me every time we talk about this kind of topic? I didn't mean it that way. Why do you have to misinterpret my meaning? Is it only by misinterpreting my meaning that you can be satisfied?"
The head of the Nangong family tilted his head slightly, his eyes even showing incomprehension at what he had just said. "Then tell me, how exactly did I misinterpret your meaning? Wasn't what I said the truth? You..."
"Enough! Have you said enough? Can you stop trying to blackmail me with your arguments? I just feel that you're not involved in my life, so how do you know what kind of friends I make?"
