Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

What brings you here in early summer?

Seeing Jiang Huaiyu deep in thought, Nangong Qian began to speak as well.

"I just got back and heard about the gossip going around the capital. Chu Xia got engaged to Jiang Sheng, but then someone caught her having an affair with Zhao Yanchen. I don't know if it's true or not."

She hasn't had a proper chat with Lingling about gossip since she got back.

Jiang Huaiyu felt somewhat helpless after hearing this.

What kind of time is this? This young lady is still thinking about these things.

The others overheard this conversation, and the girl was filled with resentment and anger, while the boy who wanted to leave was trying to appease Chu Xia.

"Stop talking! Shut up!"

They were very displeased with what Nangong Qian said, fearing that if the people outside heard what Nangong Qian said, they would abandon them and leave.

Then, to their surprise, Chu Xia, who was about to leave, heard a familiar voice inside.

Their steps suddenly stopped.

Nangong Qian!!!

She looked at Zhao Yanchen with a puzzled expression.

"Is that Nangong Qian's voice inside?" she asked.

Zhao Yanchen remained silent for a while, but Nangong Qian's voice did not come out again. "I didn't listen carefully, but now, I can't hear her voice inside."

"That shouldn't be the case..."

Chu Xia turned and walked to the door.

Raising his voice, he asked, "Was that Nangong Qian inside just now?!"

His tone was cold, as if he were questioning someone.

Everyone was startled.

"!!!"

Did she hear that?

Then, they all turned their resentful gazes toward Nangong Qian. It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, they might still have had a chance to get out. Now, judging from Chu Xia's tone, she was angry.

Would you still open the door for them in this situation?

Hearing this tone, Nangong Qian's anger flared up. What did she mean by that? Her tone was really irritating. She didn't owe her any money!

"That was me! What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Unlike these people, she wasn't panicking and trying to get out. As long as the big boss was still there, there wouldn't be any problems. Besides, the big boss had even given her a mission.

Tell her to take good care of Madam Lu's health later.

Whether she goes out or not, it's not as urgent for her as these people are.

Nangong Qian shook off the two hands that were holding her. Although her body was tied up, she could still walk, but she couldn't move her hands.

"Nangong Qian, you're actually here?!"

Chu Xia gritted her teeth, a hint of resentment spreading in her heart, "Is Liang Jingli here too?!"

She hasn't forgotten the hatred for her master's murder.

Her current predicament is all because of her! Liang Jingli!!

"Ah--"

"Chu Xia, you came here without telling Jiang Sheng? Does she know you and your lover are on a date here right now?"

Nangong Qian raised her head, pressing it against the doorframe, trying to get closer to the crack and let her voice carry.

At this point, Chu Xia felt a surge of anger that seemed to explode in her chest.

"What are you trying to say?!"

"So you're fickle, huh?" Nangong Qian's smug look stunned everyone.

"???"

Why is she like this?

The girls who had been beaten earlier were particularly pleased, and several other girls, though they didn't say anything, were also very satisfied.

"I advise you to watch your mouth!!" Chu Xia's hands trembled with anger, and her tone became even colder.

"Am I not telling the truth? Is it all just a rumor?"

Nangong Qian's expression was extremely exaggerated.

"It's the truth!" The girl who was hit was also furious.

"See, that's the truth?" Nangong Qian shrugged in front of Chu Xia, but because her hands were tied, she could only move her shoulders a few times.

"Shut up!" The boy shouted when he saw the girl who had been hit continue to talk. He didn't dare to lay a hand on Nangong Qian, so he could only vent his anger on the girl.

The girl who had been cowering earlier suddenly burst into laughter, "You think she'd save you? Chu Xia is a selfish little person. Even if you beat me to death right now, she won't let Senior Zhao open the door for you!"

When it came to selfishness, Nangong Qian nodded quickly, "I agree!!"

In early summer, ever since she met this person, she had harbored a deep-seated hatred for them.

She always had a kind face, but she just couldn't like her. It wasn't until the incident in Hehuan Village that she realized that this person was indeed someone she couldn't like.

"Nangong Qian! Do you think Nangong Qinghe can protect your Nangong family forever?"

Zhao Yanchen stepped forward and grasped Chu Xia's trembling hand.

He gave her a reassuring look to calm her down.

Chu Xia then casually withdrew her hand, and Zhao Yanchen, seeing this, smiled bitterly.

He was the one I met first.

Xiaxia, do you have to be so cruel?

He stared at it for a few seconds before snapping out of his daze.

Upon hearing Zhao Yanchen's voice, the people inside immediately became serious and all turned to look at Nangong Qian. If the Zhao family targeted them, the Nangong family would probably be in trouble.

They can't afford to offend Nangong Qian, but the Zhao family can.

The Zhao family's status in the capital is definitely higher than that of the Nangong family.

They came here for two reasons. First, they heard that Nangong Qian had managed to invite Zhao Yanchen over, and their original idea was to see if they could get on the good side of the Zhao family. Second, it was because of the Yan family. The Yan family's status in the capital was not bad either, at the same level as Nangong Qian, but perhaps a level higher.

But unexpectedly, coming here was easy, but getting out was difficult.

And people died!

"What are you looking at me for?" Nangong Qian rolled her eyes.

“Look at me, I can’t take you out of here, this is Ye Feifei’s fault.” She emphasized again, but in the meantime, Ye Feifei completely disguised herself as an invisible person.

Suddenly pointed out again, he quickly shrank back.

At this point, no one could do anything about her, so they could only stay there. "If you hadn't provoked us, Senior Zhao might have opened the door for us."

"Are you an idiot! It's because Chu Xia didn't want to try opening the door for you!"

She rolled her eyes even more.

Having said that, he completely ignored the people inside.

"Zhao Yanchen, stop threatening me outside. You're an illegitimate child, you can't even win back the person you love, and you still want to fight the Nangong family? My elder brother has been in business for so many years, he holds all the power in the Nangong family. Besides, even if it's Xuan..."

"Miss!!"

Jiang Huaiyu quickly interrupted.

Nangong Qian also realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She almost blurted out "mystic".

She cleared her throat as if to make an excuse, then quickly stopped.

However, her words hit Zhao Yanchen's sore spot. Even the usually calm and composed man was so angry that he wanted to smash down the door and teach her a lesson.

Zhao Yanchen moved swiftly, taking out more than a dozen talismans from his waist. The talismans moved on their own without wind, assembling into one, and the runes on the talismans pieced together to form a large character '破' (break).
