C41 undercurrent surge (1/2)
Nangong Family
”Family Head, I need to report something!”
Nangong Hao was leisurely reading in his study, when a report came in from outside the door.
”Come in!” Nangong Hao put down the Books and said with a frown.
Outside the door, a tall and sturdy man over the age of middle-aged walked in. It was the Great Clan Elder of the Nangong Family, Nangong Ye.
”Great Elder, you've come late at night. I'm afraid you have something important, right? Nangong Hao asked.
”You've come late at night to disturb your Family Head's rest. However, this old one does have something to report!” Nangong Ye cupped his hands and bowed.
”Reporting to Family Head, according to the sources, tonight's attack on's Pleasing Hostel and the Medicine Hall, killed dozens of shopkeepers and other people. Even Sun Sichen, one of the three pharmacist s, was killed.”
Nangong Ye's shocking words revealed a trace of surprise on the face of the calm and tranquil Nangong Hao. He stood up and walked in front of Nangong Ye as he asked.
”What?” When did this happen!? ”
”Just two hours ago …”
”From what I know, that Sun Sichen is not only a first grade pharmacist, but one with great Houtian seventh stage as well. Who was it that could kill a Ancient cultivator with Houtian seventh stage before Luo Family could provide any assistance?”
Nangong Hao asked in surprise.
”According to our informants in the Luo Family, Sun Sichen was ambushed and heavily injured without any preparation. Then, her life was cut off by a knife.” Nangong Ye said.
”Did you find out who did it?”
”There's no news on this right now,” Nangong Ye shook his head.
”However, to be able to slaughter two businesses in the Luo Family in such a short period of time, the culprit definitely is not the same person.”
”Who wants the Luo Family to do the right thing?” Nangong Hao mumbled to himself.
”In the remote southwest of Great Qin Empire, where the Bailu is located, there are very few outsiders, so it is basically a matter of outside forces. Also, the Luo Family is one of the three great families of the Bailu, I'm afraid only the Nangong Family and me have such strength,” Nangong Ye analyzed.
”You suspect that it is the Yang Family?”
”Eight out of ten!”
”Although the Yang Family and the Luo Family are at odds, why must the Yang Family and the Luo Family fall out? The strength of the two families are about the same, the outcome of the battle will probably only result in mutual destruction.” Nangong Hao sat back down on the study table and started thinking.
”If it's really the Yang Family's doing, then I'm afraid there's some secret that we don't know about!” Nangong Ye also pondered.
”Humph, people die for money while birds die for food. If there really is a secret, then I'm afraid there will only be a huge benefit, a benefit that would cause the Yang Family to disregard everything and even fight with the Luo Family.”
Nangong Hao slightly squinted his eyes. This person's eyes could be said to be extremely sharp; he actually managed to guess the gist of the reason.
”What is Luo Family's reaction?”
”When Luo Xingchen gets angry, they are basically willing to do so,” Nangong Ye said.
”Great Elder!”
”This old man is here!”
”You have to personally handle this matter. You have to find out the cause of this matter, my guess is that this matter might change the situation of the three families in Bailu. You have to find out!”
”Yes, just a Family Head. How should we deal with them?” Nangong Ye should have asked.
”We'll just wait and see. If the two families fight, our Nangong Family can only do our best!”
”However, I am afraid that the Yang and Luo Families will not allow us to sit on the sidelines and watch the battle.” Nangong Ye said worriedly.
”Hmph, what are you afraid of? If the two families were to start a war with us, the attitude of our Nangong Family would definitely affect the entire situation. The two families would not dare to force us to do anything.
”Then this old one will take his leave first.” Nangong Ye bowed and left.
