Taihuang Star Seal

In the tung wood forest thirty miles east of Tieyan City, no birds or animals were startled and the place was completely peaceful.

Nangong Qiuyu and Nangong Ao, who had just arrived here, both stood on the crown of a tree, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.

After a moment, Nangong Qiuyu said indifferently: "There are no signs of human warrior activities within a few miles."

"It seems that the patriarchs of the Zhou and Lu families have not been here yet."

"That's right. After all, the time I agreed with them to come and get the [Spirit Condensing Pill] is tonight at midnight. It's still early now..."

Hearing this, Nangong Ao curled his lips in disdain: "Haha, the patriarchs of the two families, and that Xiao from the City Lord's Mansion, don't they really think they can get the [Ningling Pill] from you, aunt?"

"These bugs who have struggled out of the bottom of society really have no self-awareness!"

"That was the case with the driver who thought he had gotten a great bargain when he left the imperial capital."

"Now, the patriarchs of the Zhou and Lu families, as well as that Xiao whatsoever, are also like this!"

Her aunt Nangong Qiuyu couldn't help but shudder when she heard this: "Humph, that's why there are more people who are foolish enough to be used by us!"

"When they arrive, I will go out and greet them first."

"You must first see Luo Haoyuan's head. After you are sure that the Luo family is extinct, you can take action and kill Xiao Da and one of the clan leaders."

"The other one... will stay alive. I will personally activate the [Soul-Absorbing and Light-Returning Talisman] and use the secret method of controlling corpses to bring his half-dead 'corpse' back to Luo Qinru."

"I want this 'corpse' to confess that his two major families massacred the Luo family."

"I also want this 'corpse' to say it himself: it was you, Nangong Ao, who was traveling outside and passed through Tieyan City and discovered the tragic massacre of the Luo family."

"You should do something righteous and kill those culprits, and avenge the entire Luo family!"

"In this way, Luo Qinru will be deeply grateful to you."

"Luo Qinru, who lost her entire family, is in great grief. She will definitely be more receptive to the pursuit of you, the 'great benefactor' who avenged her blood feud."

"Everything that happens after this will naturally fall into place..."

Nangong Ao's eyes lit up as he listened, and he bowed deeply to the beautiful woman beside him, "Aunt, you have a plan that is perfect. I admire you!"

If this young man knew that the Zhou and Lu families, whom his aunt regarded as "chess pieces", had actually died out long ago...

Does he still have the nerve to boast that he has “everything planned out”?

"But, my nephew still has some concerns in his heart."

"It's Luo Qinru's fiancé: Ding Chen."

Nangong Ao said with an unhappy look on his face: "Aunt, you don't know that when I was in the Imperial Capital Academy, I racked my brains to make Luo Qinru fall in love with me!"

"But every time, she would bring up her engagement, claiming that she was already a 'married woman' and asking her nephew to respect himself."

"My nephew is worried that after the fall of the Luo Mansion, Ding Chen will still become a major variable between me and Luo Qinru!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qiuyu rolled her eyes at the other person, "That scumbag son-in-law was already captured and taken to the City Lord's Mansion long before I left Tieyan City."

"As far as I know, he once killed Xiao Zhenxiong's youngest son in front of him!"

"Do you think that guy still has a chance to walk out of the City Lord's Mansion alive?"

"Let's take a step back..."

"Even if that guy is lucky enough to survive, compared to you, he is just like an ant that can be easily crushed. Why should you be afraid of him?"

Nangong Ao finally relaxed his brows: "Aunt, what you said is absolutely right. I have learned a lot from you!"

"Calm down and wait patiently."

"Yes……"

At the same time, in the Tieyancheng mining area, at the deepest part of the North Three Mine Tunnel.

Ding Chen, Wei Sanniang, Luo Haoyuan, the second elder, and a group of weapon refiners in the family all gathered here.

Except for Ding Chen, the others did not come here for nothing.

Some of them were carrying the refining furnaces, some were moving the materials needed for refining, and they were all very busy.

"The stove is here."

"The fire seeds are all piled on the left hand side. When I watched my brother-in-law refine weapons before, I found that he was used to taking charcoal with his left hand."

"Hey, a little more to the left, that's right!"

"The refining materials are on the table on the right."

……

Just as the second elder and a group of weapon refiners were busy preparing for Ding Chen's next weapon refining plan.

Luo Haoyuan called Ding Chen aside and mysteriously handed him a letter: "Chen'er, these days, I can clearly feel your eagerness to leave Tieyan City and go to a wider world!"

"I think that's why you asked me to call all the Luo family's weapon refiners here..."

"You hope that you can teach them more in the limited time."

"Well, after you leave, my Luo family will have enough power to become an unshakable existence in Tieyan City, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Chen looked at the other person with slight surprise.

Then, he smiled calmly: "Haha, Uncle Luo really guessed most of what I was thinking!"

Luo Haoyuan chuckled and patted Ding Chen's shoulder heavily: "I also know that your 'anxiety' is related to Ru'er being taken to the Imperial Capital Academy."

"You're worried that if you go too late, she'll be snatched away by another man, right?"

Looking at the "future father-in-law" in front of him with an "I understand" expression, Ding Chen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, actually..."

Before he could open his mouth to "quibble", Luo Haoyuan patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I know my daughter, she will never let you down!"

Then, the cheap father-in-law suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Chen'er, when you go to the Imperial Capital Academy and meet Ru'er, remember to find a chance to tell her—"

"Nangong Qiuyu is not as good as she imagined!"

"This woman openly promised Ru'er to go and ask City Lord Xiao for mercy."

"But in reality, it's a completely different thing."

"Tell Ru'er to be more careful when she interacts with him in the future!"

"For this purpose, I have specially written a secret letter. In the letter, there is the code agreed upon by my father and I."

"After she reads it, she will understand that this letter is indeed written by me."

After solemnly handing the letter to Ding Chen, Luo Haoyuan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It is better for me, an old father, to persuade him than for you to just talk without any evidence."

"After all, Ru'er has always been extremely respectful and loving to her master!"

"Well, Uncle Luo, don't worry, I will definitely pass on your message."

"You little brat, you're still calling me 'Uncle Luo'?"

Luo Haoyuan gave Ding Chen a displeased look.

"Well, well, then wait until your wedding day to change your mind."

"Then I'll give you a big 'change of words fee', hahahahahaha..."

At this time, everyone's preparations were completed.

"Son-in-law, do you think this arrangement is appropriate? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

"Okay, that's it."

Ding Chen nodded with satisfaction: "We can start now!"
