This was a very simple question.
People from the Xuanyuan Family were surnad Xuanyuan. His na was Liu Ergou, so naturally, his surna was Liu. There was no way he could be related to the Xuanyuan Family.
Puzzled, Liu Ergou turned to Lu Shuangyue, hoping she could enlighten him.
Lu Shuangyue did not disappoint, imdiately whispering into his ear, "The Xuanyuan Family is a major clan in Jingdu."
"There are a total of five major families in Jingdu. Mine is one, then there's the Yuan Family, and of course, the Xuanyuan Family. I won't ntion the other two for now. Since you haven't t them, we can talk about it when you do."
Hearing this, Liu Ergou also whispered, "So according to her, that Xuanyuan Family is also part of the Ancient Martial Sects, right?"
This ti, Lu Shuangyue didn't say anything, rely nodding.
Of course, the two of them spoke so quietly that Ning Hua, still tied up, couldn't hear a word. She could only see Liu Ergou and Lu Shuangyue whispering to each other.
Alright, I know what to do next.
Liu Ergou's eyes flickered, and he instantly knew his next step. He turned his gaze back to Ning Hua.
"Heh, so what!"
"You're the one who ca to kill first. What, am I just supposed to stand here and let you do it?"
As he spoke, Liu Ergou leaned in close to Ning Hua's ear. "You need to understand, you're my prisoner now. I can do whatever I want to you!"
"Too bad for you, you're in my hands now!"
Hearing this, Ning Hua clenched her jaw.
"Pah! You shaless scoundrel!"
Her curse didn't anger Liu Ergou. Instead, he just laughed. "Why, thank you for the complint!"
"That's exactly how shaless I am!"
"So if you don't want to see sothing even more shaless, you'd better hurry up and answer my questions!"
"Otherwise, I don't mind giving you a demonstration!"
With a lewd chuckle, Liu Ergou reached his hand toward Ning Hua.
Just as his hand was about to touch her, Ning Hua finally broke.
She shrieked.
"Stop! Just stop it! Don't you touch !"
"I'll talk! I'll talk, alright?!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou laughed inwardly. So what if she has a poker face? So what if she's an ice queen? In the end, she still caves.
With this thought, Liu Ergou paused his hand and said coldly, "Then talk."
Just as Ning Hua was about to speak, Liu Ergou suddenly interjected, "Oh, right. I should warn you, you'd better not lie to . If you dare to tell even a single lie..."
"I really won't mind getting rough with you. Seriously. With a figure like yours and such a pretty face, I bet you'd be a real treat!"
As he spoke, a lascivious grin spread across Liu Ergou's face.
The threat sent a shiver down Ning Hua's spine, but even so, her defiant spirit didn't wane.
"Hmph! Lying is beneath ! Fine, I'll talk!"
"My na is Ning Hua."
"I practice internal martial arts, from a small sect within the Ancient Martial Sects... the Flying Swallow Sect."
Hearing this, Liu Ergou instinctively glanced at Lu Shuangyue, who simply shook her head, indicating she had never heard of the Flying Swallow Sect.
Liu Ergou looked back at Ning Hua.
"Flying Swallow Sect? What's that?"
By this point, Ning Hua had resigned herself to her fate and began to confess everything.
"It's just a small sect within the Ancient Martial Sects. We practice the Flying Swallow Piercing Heart Kick."
"It's normal that you've never heard of it. Why would soone from the great Xuanyuan Family ever hear of a minor sect like ours!"
Liu Ergou said nothing, continuing to stare at her.
Under his unwavering gaze, Ning Hua was at a loss for words and fell silent once more.
And so they remained, neither of them speaking.
After a long mont, Liu Ergou couldn't stand it any longer. "Ahem, well... let ask you this," he finally said.
"Why did Sun Gang send you to kill ?"
Ning Hua answered honestly, "He called my master last night and said soone from the Ancient Martial Sects had appeared here. Master told to co and investigate."
"If you were a Loose Cultivator with no sect, the order was to kill you. If you had a sect, we were to withdraw."
As she explained, a sudden wave of anger washed over her, and she roared at Liu Ergou, "I truly never expected soone from the Xuanyuan Family to be so shaless!"
"You couldn't beat , so you called ordinary people with riot forks to handle ! The most outrageous part is you used a taser on !"
"Let tell you, without all that stuff, I would've beaten you to a pulp!"
However, Liu Ergou just rolled his eyes.
"Who said I was from the Xuanyuan Family? I'm just an ordinary guy. And an ordinary guy has to call for backup when dealing with soone like you!"
A sly smile crept onto his face.
"Besides, lady, what century are you living in? Who duels one-on-one anymore?"
"There's strength in numbers, get it?"
An abrupt silence fell over the scene after Liu Ergou's words.
Several minutes passed before Ning Hua finally processed what he had said.
"Wait, you're not from the Xuanyuan Family!"
Liu Ergou nodded.
"Nope. I'm Liu Ergou, just an ordinary person! Oh, wait, that's not right. I'm a village doctor!"
Hearing this, Ning Hua could no longer contain herself.
"AHHH! Let go! You bastard, you dared to pretend to be from the Xuanyuan Family to deceive !"
"That ans the Xuanyuan True Qi in your body must be fake too! You damned liar!"
"Liar!"
Watching Ning Hua scream her lungs out, Liu Ergou shrugged with an innocent look. "Lady, I never once said I was from the Xuanyuan Family. You assud that all on your own!"
"You're a grown woman. You can't just bla others for your own mistakes."
"You should really take a look at your own flaws, you know?"
His words, far from calming her, only made Ning Hua more furious. She completely forgot she was naked as she struggled to her feet from the chair, looking as if she were ready to fight him to the death.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou remained perfectly calm.
He reached out and gently poked Ning Hua's forehead.
In the next second, Ning Hua lost her footing and fell backward, landing flat on the ground with a THUD.
Even so, she continued to scream.
"Let go, you damn liar! You dirty trickster!"
"If you've got any guts, let go! I swear I'll kill you today!"
"Did you hear ?! Let go now!"
