This immortal has a lot of rebelliousness

It used to be fine.

The people of the Nangong family look down on him, so the worst that can happen is that they just ignore him.

But in the past two years.

The current head of the family is Nangong Yan’s father, Nangong Lingyuan.

His cultivation level once remained at the level of great perfection of the "Golden Core Realm".

It seems there is no hope of a breakthrough.

The old man has lived for thousands of years, and his energy and blood have declined to the point of collapse. It is obvious that he will pass away at any time in the near future.

The issue of the family heir immediately became a little confusing.

If you follow the rules.

As the legitimate son, Nangong Yan is undoubtedly the next city lord.

But this way.

The others, however, were not convinced at all. Nangong Yan's brothers were watching covetously, wishing that this loser Nangong Yan would die before their father.

"My brothers and sisters are all unwilling to tolerate me, and the elders in the family are even more divided..."

Put your hands on the edge of the table.

Nangong Yan lowered his head and gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling as he said, "I really can't live another day in this kind of fear."

Lift your chin.

Zhang Xianling was silent for a long time. Looking at the frail young man in front of him who even had a bit of bookish air, he suddenly felt that he was very pitiful.

A rabbit that only knows how to gnaw on grass roots and tree bark is sent to rule a group of ferocious and bloodthirsty wolves because of its bloodline.

On the contrary, it would seem unreasonable if he was torn into pieces by five horses.

"understood."

Shrug his shoulders.

Zhang Xianling raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, that female assassin was actually sent by someone from the Nangong family?"

Nodding silently.

Nangong Yan smiled bitterly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is most likely the work of my two elder brothers."

Nangong Lingyuan, the lord of Haoqi City, has lived for thousands of years and has many children.

Except that Nangong Yan was born to his wife a hundred years ago.

There are still several descendants who are qualified and capable of competing for the position of head of the family.

Among them, the eldest brother Nangong Wu and the second brother Nangong Zhe are the strongest.

Ten years ago.

Ever since Nangong Lingyuan went into seclusion, most of the power in "Haoqi City" has been divided up by these two people.

The two brothers disliked each other, but they had no way to deal with each other for the time being, so they had to direct their anger at the poor Nangong Yan.

after all.

Only by getting rid of Nangong Yan, the nominal legitimate son, will the fight between them have real meaning.

"Good fellow, there are wolves in front and tigers behind. It's no exaggeration to say that we are attacked from both sides..."

Scratched the back of his head.

Zhang Xianling was speechless for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Excuse me for being blunt, but your current situation is a life-or-death struggle. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed."

"Who says it's not..."

Close your eyes.

Nangong Yan's expression was filled with pain as he shook his head, "In order to avoid the internal disputes within the family, I had no choice but to volunteer and willingly come to this bitterly cold Lingyun Peak to take charge. I simply wanted to stay away from the vortex of power struggles."

Bang~~

Nangong Yan slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth, "I never thought that even after all this, they still wouldn't let me go. They even sent people to ambush me on the way and try to assassinate me!"

"They say blood is thicker than water..."

His shoulders were shaking.

Nangong Yan's tone was sad as he said in a deep voice, "Although we are not born of the same mother, we are all my father's sons. Why are they so cruel and insist on killing me?!"

"Because you are unlucky." Zhang Xianling suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out.

Nangong Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Zhang Xianling in astonishment.

Unexpectedly, what I was greeted with was a pair of deep eyes.

“Without any power, yet possessing privileges that others can never achieve.”

He raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xianling picked up a piece of dessert and threw it into his mouth, saying lightly.

"To be honest, if I were your brother, I wouldn't hesitate to attack you either. After all, who would be willing to hand over such a huge family fortune to a weak person?"

In the face of huge interests, sometimes even brothers will turn against each other.

The reason is actually very simple.

Forced by the situation, the strong prey on the weak——

Looking at the overall situation, a weakling with absolute advantages will definitely become the target of attack by all his brothers and sisters once he loses the protection of his elders.

"Brother Zhang..."

Caught off guard.

Nangong Yan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xianling's hands. His voice was trembling as he pleaded, "Please, help me!"

what? !

Faced with this sudden scene.

Zhang Xianling was stunned on the spot and subconsciously pulled his hands back. He said with a smile: "Master Yan, I am just a prisoner now. How can I help you? This is not a joke!"

"I'm not kidding..."

There was a sincere light in his eyes.

Nangong Yan's expression was serious, and he swore confidently, "I can see that Brother Zhang, not only are you highly skilled in cultivation, but you are also very meticulous in your conduct and actions. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to survive the disaster at the Gentlemen's Hall."

"In terms of cultivation and intelligence, Brother Zhang, you can be called a local hero..."

There was a pause.

Nangong Yan continued, "I'm currently lacking a lot of talented people around me. Apart from Uncle Wang, the others are useless. If I want to save my life and continue fighting against the eldest and second brothers, I must have the help of someone like Brother Zhang!"

The corners of the mouth twitched.

Zhang Xianling's forehead was covered with black lines, and his mind started working rapidly for a moment.

In fact.

He originally wanted to get into the system of the Nangong family in "Haoqi City".

Although the scholar-like Third Young Master in front of him is a little silly, his identity is very useful.

At least in name, this guy is a legitimate descendant of the Nangong family.

If he could use his name to do things, I believe it wouldn't be long before Zhang Xianling would get what he wanted, and it would not be impossible for him to enter and leave the Nangong family's ancestral hall openly.

"Uh, no..."

I already have a plan in mind.

Zhang Xianling still declined on the surface: "After all, I am a prisoner, and it is inconvenient for me to bear the punishment. Master Yan, please find someone else."

"It doesn't matter!"

A big wave of his hand.

Nangong Yan's eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he said calmly, "It's just an identity. Although the Lingyun Peak mining area is controlled by many of my eldest brother's subordinates, I am at least the one in charge. As long as I draft the documents and submit them to His Majesty the Divine King, I will definitely be able to clear you of all guilt, Brother Zhang."

Clench your fists.

Nangong Yan's face was filled with excitement as he said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, I will grant Brother Zhang the status of a guest official of the Nangong family, and everything will be legal and justified!"

Open your eyes wide.

Zhang Xianling was speechless for a moment, but he felt that this method was feasible.

interesting......

In this way, I can walk around freely in both "Haoqi City" and "Lingyun Peak" in the future.

It is one step closer to the "Qiankun Gathering Qi Cauldron" in the Nangong family ancestral hall!
