Taihuang Star Seal

After a heavy rain, the dark clouds that originally covered Tieyan City became much thinner.

A gust of night wind blew, the clouds and fog dispersed, allowing the moonlight to peek out slightly.

under the moonlight.

Nangong Ao held the woman in one hand and the boy in the other, and jumped and ran among the dense branches of the woods.

In order to avoid any further trouble, Nangong Ao did not choose to take the official road which would require a detour.

Instead, he asked the woman to take him through a shortcut.

At this moment, the two people who were being carried by Nangong Ao were moving up and down in the woods, their stomachs churning with anxiety!

Especially the little boy who was only seven or eight years old.

From leaving the city, he had been bumpy all the way to now. In just three or five miles, he was almost vomiting jaundice water...

The woman really couldn't bear to see her child suffer like this.

So he begged Nangong Aozhuang to be a little calmer, or to find a place to rest for a while.

Nangong Ao heard this, and a cruel arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hey, why do you have to beg me for such a small matter?"

At this point, he suddenly grabbed the boy's neck and said coldly: "As long as this burden dies, there won't be so much trouble. What do you think?"

"no no!!"

Seeing this, the woman's face, which was already pale to begin with, became even paler: "We won't rest anymore, we won't rest anymore..."

She ignored her tears and coaxed her son: "Child, hold on a little longer, we will be there soon, very soon..."

“Woooooaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The boy couldn't bear it anymore and his emotions completely broke down!

All the fear, sadness, grievance and pain he had experienced along the way turned into crying at this moment, and he vented it out without any care!

Nangong Ao frowned, threw the woman and the child aside, and said, "It's too noisy. I'll give you three breaths to adjust your mood."

"After three breaths, if this brat is still crying, I will cut off his tongue!"

"one!"

"Wow, wow wow wow..."

Perhaps because he was extremely frightened, the little boy cried even harder when he heard this.

"Child, be good, don't cry!"

The woman hurried forward and hugged the boy tightly: "Don't be afraid, mom is here..."

"Wow wow~"

"two!"

"Stop crying! If you keep crying, someone might die!"

"Wow wow wow..."

"three!"

"boom!"

Almost at the same time when Nangong Ao counted to "three", the woman, with tears in her eyes, slapped the boy on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

The noisy crying stopped abruptly.

In the forest, only the rustling sound of the night wind remained...

Nangong Ao smiled complacently: "Hehe, isn't this great? You should have done this a long time ago!"

The woman cried silently but never uttered a word.

Her lips had already been bitten until they bled!

As a mother, she had no choice but to knock her own child unconscious with her own hands.

Perhaps only those who have become mothers can empathize with the inner pain and suffering...

At this moment, a rustling sound came from not far away.

It’s Luo Haoyuan!

The original intention of his trip was to return to Tieyan City, find a bank, exchange a few boxes of gold coins, and bring them to Ding Chen for refining equipment.

In order to complete the task earlier, Luo Haoyuan deliberately took a shortcut.

Originally, he had been having smooth sailing on the journey and had not encountered any wild beasts or monsters!

Until just now, he suddenly heard a child crying and was startled.

Then, he heard a man's warning and a woman's begging voice...

Luo Haoyuan thought: "I wonder which child got into trouble in this deep forest?"

"From the man's bad tone, he's probably a bandit!"

"Whether it's kidnapping or something else, since I've encountered it, I'll help if I can!"

So Luo Haoyuan quietly hid himself and slowly approached.

He was afraid that if he moved too much, the thief would discover his plan and expose his intention, and then he would harm the child!

Suddenly, Nangong Qiuyu shouted: "Where did this lowly rat come from? Come out and die!"

As the words fell, the woman waved her hand casually -

"call out!"

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff..."

In the blink of an eye, a white wind blade that was three or four feet long, with lightning speed, cut off dozens of thick trees in succession!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The noise of dozens of thick trees collapsing made the ground tremble.

"Quack, quack!"

"Squeak squeak..."

The birds and animals living nearby were disturbed by the noise and fled in all directions screaming.

In this way, there was no longer any cover in front of Luo Haoyuan.

In the moonlight, he recognized the woman kneeling on the ground at a glance——

"Isn't this the Fifth Elder's wife?"

"And there is also the Fifth Elder's beloved son: Luo Xiaotang."

"Why are they here?"

"Who is holding them hostage?!"

"With just one move, he cut down dozens of large trees..."

"With such terrifying combat power, he must be a cultivator in the Condensation Realm, right? He may even be stronger!"

"Why would such a powerful being hold the Fifth Elder's wife and children hostage?!"

One question after another kept hitting every nerve of Luo Haoyuan.

Just as he was stunned, a familiar female voice came into his ears: "Huh? Isn't this Luo Haoyuan?"

"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all to get here!"

The speaker was Nangong Qiuyu.

As Luo Qinru's teacher, she had met the senior management of the Luo family several times.

Just as she recognized Luo Haoyuan, the latter also recognized her identity based on her voice and the moonlight shining on his face!

It turned out that Nangong Qiuyu had taken off her disguise after leaving Tieyan City.

Whether she was wearing a mask or putting on makeup, the feeling of foreign objects sticking to her face made the woman feel very uncomfortable.

Even Nangong Ao is no exception.

The purpose of his previous makeup was just to avoid being recognized by the people in Luo Mansion and Tieyan City.

Now that I have left that crowded place, it doesn’t matter whether it is easy to be accepted or not!

Anyway, along the way, anyone who has seen their true appearance must die...

"Dean Nangong? Why are you here?"

Luo Haoyuan asked with a puzzled look on his face, and then pointed at the woman and the boy on the ground: "What's going on with these two?"

Nangong Qiuyu did not answer, but asked: "Where is Ding Chen? Why isn't that guy with you?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Haoyuan's spirit instantly tensed up!

He knew very well what Nangong Qiuyu's attitude towards Ding Chen was.

"This woman is eager to ruin Luo Qinru and Ding Chen's marriage."

"Now, you are taking the initiative to ask about Chen'er's whereabouts? Most likely you have bad intentions!"

With this thought, Luo Haoyuan thought for a moment and pretended to be calm and said, "I sent that kid to Lincheng to do something. It will probably take him ten days or half a month to come back..."
