Chapter 894: Chapter 896: Running into Trouble
It’s not rush hour now, so the taxi quickly arrived at the old mansion of the Nangong Family. By this ti, the ambulances and police cars gathered at the entrance had already left, restoring the usual tranquility.
However, as Chu Ge got out of the car, he could still feel the remnants of the Black Witch Sect’s presence around him. As he walked into the old mansion, the courtyard was still in disarray, with no ti yet to clean it up.
Ever since Nangong Man Sha received Chu Ge’s call, she had been standing by the window. She never thought of Chu Ge as soone who had trouble speaking his mind, but on the phone just now, she clearly felt his hesitance.
It seems Mr. Chu must have encountered so difficulties.
Nangong Man Sha pondered this in her mind. After waiting for a while, she turned back to look at the resting servants in the hall, mulling over an idea, still hesitating to decide.
Nangong Yunhai could not, under any circumstances, cultivate ancient martial arts. He carried the future of the entire Nangong Family on his shoulders; the burden was truly too heavy. She couldn’t let him take that risk!
But she was different. Although she had already made a na for herself in the upper-class society of the Capital City, with her status and connections, those were rely adding embellishnts to the Nangong Family.
If such incidents were to happen again, she found it hard to imagine whether the consequences would be as they are now or even worse.
So, a voice in her heart constantly told her to cultivate ancient martial arts, to beco stronger, invincible, so she could have the power to protect the people who mattered most to her.
Nangong Man Sha knew very well that her body was not suitable for practicing ancient martial arts. Her ridians were severed. Even though Chu Ge had sowhat restored them, prolonging her life for a few years, those were just partial repairs, not complete.
But cultivating ancient martial arts was different. It required opening all the ridians. She didn’t know what the consequences would be for her, but she wanted to try.
With a mind filled with thoughts, Nangong Man Sha stood in front of the window, lost in a daze.
After finishing his work, Huo Tianqian saw Nangong Man Sha standing by the window with a worried expression, not knowing what she was thinking. He assud she was scared, and couldn’t help but comfort her, “Miss Man Sha, don’t worry. Mr. Chu will never allow such a thing to happen again.”
Nangong Man Sha glanced at him, a bitter smile at the corners of her lips. How could he possibly control such things?
Huo Tianqian seed to understand the disbelief on Nangong Man Sha’s face. He laughed and explained, “Do you rember the array we saw in Mr. Chu’s manor in Shanghai before?”
Nangong Man Sha was taken aback. She raised her eyes to look at Huo Tianqian. Of course, she hadn’t forgotten; it was the most stunning scene she had ever seen.
Initially, everything had been shrouded in mist. Yet, gradually, under so unseen power, it slowly transford into a White Dragon.
Huo Tianqian chuckled and said, “That was called the Heaven and Earth Returning Array. Before leaving, Mr. Chu instructed to prepare the necessary materials for the Heaven and Earth Returning Array. You can imagine, he wanted to set up the array near your Nangong Mansion. With this array, I think those from the Black Witch Sect won’t easily invade again!”
Nangong Man Sha furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Huo Tianqian in disbelief, “Mr. Huo, are you serious?”
Huo Tianqian nodded, “Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?”
As he spoke, he took out a sheet of paper from his pocket, “Look, this is what Mr. Chu handed before he left. Now that the Black Witch Sect hasn’t achieved its purpose, they won’t let it go so easily.”
Nangong Man Sha looked at the materials listed on the paper. They were all very ordinary materials, yet it was these ordinary materials that could be brought to such an extre, able to set up such an array.
Once again, Nangong Man Sha felt a peculiar admiration for Chu Ge, solidifying her resolve to join ancient martial arts.
She suddenly raised her eyes to look at Huo Tianqian, curiously asking, “Mr. Huo, what made you want to enter the path of ancient martial arts in the first place?”
Huo Tianqian was taken aback; enter the path of ancient martial arts in the first place?
“Mr. Chu and I t and beca friends through a clash of sorts. Back then, I was just a local tyrant, and there had been so minor frictions between Mr. Chu and . Fortunately, Mr. Chu was magnanimous and didn’t hold a grudge against . Later on, the Vajra Sect and Ghost Poison Sect ca to cause trouble.”
Thinking back on those days, Huo Tianqian realized that the events seed like they happened just yesterday, though they also felt like a lifeti ago.
“Back then, Mr. Chu helped avenge my brother, and only then did I understand that one must beco stronger to protect the people who are important to them.”
Huo Tianqian said with determination in his eyes.
Nangong Man Sha looked at him, her lips curling slightly upward. Indeed, only by becoming stronger oneself can one have the power to protect the people who are more important.
Realizing he might have talked too much, Huo Tianqian scratched his head a little embarrassed, curiously asking, “Miss Man Sha, why did you suddenly ask about this?”
Nangong Man Sha shook her head, “Nothing, just curious.”
After finishing speaking, Nangong Man Sha couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She turned her head to see Chu Ge getting out of a taxi and walking toward the old mansion.
“Mr. Chu is here.” Nangong Man Sha went out to greet him.
“Mr. Chu, you got here quickly.” It seems there’s an urgent matter.
Chu Ge nodded slightly, “Indeed, this matter is quite urgent, but I think it’s better to discuss it with Old Master Nangong.”
Nangong Man Sha was taken aback, “With my grandfather?”
Could it be sothing even she couldn’t solve?
Upon hearing Chu Ge say it was urgent, Nangong Man Sha didn’t press further. She stepped aside to make way for Chu Ge, “Please, Mr. Chu.”
Nangong Man Sha and Chu Ge went upstairs; Old Master Nangong was still resting in the study, though this ti, he was lying on a recliner there.
When Nangong Man Sha knocked and entered, Old Master Nangong had just fallen asleep but was awakened again by their arrival.
Chu Ge looked at Old Master Nangong apologetically and said, “Sorry, Old Master, for disturbing you unexpectedly.”
Old Master Nangong yawned, the exhaustion clear on his face, and waved his hand, “Mr. Chu ca back, so I suppose there must be sothing?”
Chu Ge took a seat opposite Old Master Nangong, nodding, and said, “Indeed, there’s sothing I’d like to ask for your help with.”
Old Master Nangong had never seen Chu Ge so serious and earnest, which made him pay attention instinctively. He sat up straight, curiously asking, “I wonder what trouble Mr. Chu has encountered?”
