With such terrifying potential, the First Elder could not do anything to him, let alone suppress him. He could only watch him grow up and bee the young master. In the end, when the old patriarch died, he naturally became the next Patriarch of the Nangong Family.
....
He had planned for so many years for that position, but in the end, he had nothing.
After Nangong Yuxiu became the head of the Nangong Family, he cut off his connections and chased many people out of the Nangong Family. Moreover, he punished them with the rules of the Nangong Family. He couldn’t find fault with him even if he wanted to.
Moreover, because he was too arrogant and domineering, everyone in the Nangong Family supported Nangong Yuxiu except for his brother, which made his current position very awkward.
Although he had the title of an elder, he no longer had any authority.
He wanted to ease the relationship with the other elders, but he could not bring himself to do so. Hence, he asked his granddaughter to build a good relationship with the other juniors, which led to today’s incident.
However, the First Elder never expected the three of them to call Nangong Yuxiu uncle!
The First Elder’s eyelids twitched when he heard Nangong Yuxiu’s words and he forced a smile.
“Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”
He broke out in cold sweat. Although it was a little embarrassing to say it, this young Patriarch indeed made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
“I was just kidding.”
Nangong Yunxuan looked at Lu Xiaocha and the others with hatred and unwillingness. How could they call the Patriarch Uncle?!
“Uncle, how can you be their uncle? They are not from the Nangong Family.”
Nangong Yuxiu’s long and narrow eyes swept over indifferently. Just one look made her hide behind her grandpa in fear.
Nangong Yuxiu’s voice was cold. “Do I need to explain my matters to you?”
Nangong Yunxuan lowered her head unwillingly. “No.”
At this moment, she felt extremely embarrassed. She had mocked them because she was from the Nangong Family, but now their positions were reversed.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that the Nangong Family was now under her uncle’s control, and her grandfather did not dare to act rashly.
As her uncle’s nephew and niece, although they were not from the Nangong Family, their statuses were high.
“Why are you looking for Yunhuan?”
Lu Xiaocha took out the Longevity Fruit this time.
Previously, he was afraid that Nangong Yunhuan wouldn’t be able to protect it. After all, the Longevity Fruit was for him to refine into medicine. He was a young man and definitely couldn’t win against the scheming First Elder.
However, things were different now. Now that she knew her uncle was the head of the Nangong family, the Great Elder was obviously afraid of her uncle!
The feeling of having a backer was awesome!
“We wanted him to help refine the Longevity Pill. We found a Longevity Fruit.”
“Longevity Fruit!!!”
At this moment, the First Elder was more excited than everyone present. His turbid eyes shone with greed. He almost forgot that Nangong Yuxiu was still around and reached out to snatch it.
Lu Xiaocha raised her leg and kicked the Godslayer on Fu Ye’s back. She grabbed the Godslayer and turned around, pointing the spearhead at the Great Elder’s neck.
The Godslayer’s spearhead was only three centimeters away from piercing into the Grand Elder’s neck.
The Great Elder did not dare to move. He only felt a chill run from his feet to the top of his head.
Nangong Yuxiu’s face darkened. “How dare you!”
When the old man realized what he had done, he broke out in cold sweat.
He swallowed his saliva and reluctantly retracted his greedy gaze. “Patriarch… Patriarch, I was just joking just now. I just wanted to take a look.”
Nangong Yuxiu’s voice was cold and sharp with the oppression of a superior. “You’re joking too much. Get lost!”
The Great Elder looked at the Longevity Fruit in Lu Xiaocha’s hand unwillingly. At that moment, hatred and schemes filled his heart. He wished he could kill everyone here and take the treasure.
Lu Xiaocha shook the Longevity Fruit. “Does it look good?”
The old man looked at her gloomily.
“It’s a pity that it’s not yours. You’re already halfway into the coffin. Although you can’t have it, you’ve seen it. Don’t you feel less regretful?”
The First Elder was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
What f*cking regret? Seeing that he couldn’t get it was the most devastating.
Nangong Yunxuan hurriedly ran forward. “Grandpa, Grandpa, what’s wrong? What did you do to my grandfather?!”
She glared at Lu Xiaocha.
Lu Xiaocha looked innocent, but the words she said were infuriating.
“Are you blind? I didn’t do anything. What does it have to do with me if he vomits blood? He’s just trying to scam me.”
Nightmare Cat: “He was so angry that he vomited blood. I’m dying of laughter, hahaha…”
This was simply too gloating.
Nangong Yunxuan was so angry that her eyes turned red.
Nangong Yuxiu was very calm and called someone to send First Elder away.
After the grandfather and granddaughter left, Nangong Yunhuan and Nangong Yunyi were still in a daze.
How did things develop to this point? Oh right, so many things had happened in this short period of time. Every single thing was a little difficult to digest.
The three of them called their Nangong family’s head uncle! The young lady casually took out a Longevity Fruit! A Longevity Fruit! That was a Longevity Fruit!!!
How many generations of emperors yearned for immortality? They were looking for this thing. Although there was no real immortality, it could increase one’s lifespan. This was something that many people would give their everything to find.
In the end… First Elder was so angry that he vomited blood.
He was so angry that he vomited blood!!!
Good lord, was this still the arrogant First Elder from before?!
Although Nangong Yuxiu was also shocked by the Longevity Fruit, he quickly calmed down.
“Give it to me. Yunhuan can’t refine it.”
Nangong Yunhuan, who had barely regained his senses, hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. I don’t dare to refine this.”
He looked at the Longevity Fruit and swallowed his saliva. He knew his limits. There was only one such treasure in the world now, and he did not dare to touch it.
Lu Xiaocha handed the Longevity Fruit to her uncle.
“Then I’ll give it to Uncle. What else do you need? I’ll try my best to find it.”
Nangong Yuxiu smiled.
“You trust me that much?”
Lu Xiaocha looked at him with sparkling eyes and nodded seriously.
“If I don’t trust you, who should I believe?”
Nangong Yuxiu raised his hand and rubbed the girl’s head gently like a god.
This reminded Lu Xiaocha of a sentence she had seen in a novel.
‘The immortal caresses my head.’
No matter how she looked at it, her uncle was no different from an immortal.
Just as she was thinking this, a clear and pleasant voice sounded.
“Alright, I have the other ingredients. It will take about half a month to refine the life-prolonging pill. During this period of time, let Yunhuan, Yunyi, and the others bring you around the Nangong Family.”
He added, “Make yourselves at home. If anyone bullies you, don’t hold it in. I’m here.”
Nangong Yunhuan and Nangong Yunyi endured the storm in their hearts and hurriedly bowed.
The two of them couldn’t help but look at Lu Xiaocha and the other three. How doting must their uncle, who had always been indifferent, be towards them to say such a thing?
