End of Mission
When the voice sounded out, Nan Gong Du Huo and Zhang Zi Yan turned and saw that Huai Rou Mu Yu, Nan Gong Hu and a few others were running over.
“Everyone hold still!”
Nan Gong Du Huo raised his hand and shouted.
Everyone stopped fighting.
“Mu Yu greets Uncle Nan Gong and Aunt Zhang.” Huai Rou Mu Yu bowed towards the two of them.
“Good good, you don’t have to be polite with us!” Zhang Zi Yan smiled, she immediately supported Huai Rou Mu Yu up, and looked at the young lady in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration and adoration towards the beautiful, polite and intelligent girl. Who wouldn’t like her?
“My niece, why are you here?” Nan Gong Du Huo asked, he sensed that something was amiss.
Huai Rou Mu Yu spoke gently: “Uncle Nan Gong, in truth, you do not need to get angry at this matter, this niece already knows everything.”
Nan Gong Du Huo was startled: “Know? Know what?”
“I know that Young Master Qing had employed someone to disguise as him to make me rescind the engagement.”
“This…” Nan Gong Du Huo choked, he turned and look at Nang Gong Qing: “What is going on?”
“In truth, my disguise techniques were not good at all and after interacting with Miss Huai Rou, she saw through me in a few days, but Miss Huai Rou had already accepted to rescind the engagement and will not implicate the Nan Gong Family and will give a personal excuse to explain to her family.” Su Yun explained.
Hearing that, Nan Gong Du Huo took a deep breath and said: “Niece Huai Rou, in truth, there is no need to rescind the engagement, this was all Qing’er being naughty and messing things up, you do not need to take it seriously.”
“Father, I am not messing around, I am being serious, if you want me to find a dual cultivation companion, I do not want to find Miss Huai Rou, I only like Xue’er! I will only want her as my cultivation companion, I will not care about others.” Nan Gong Qing said anxiously.
“You keep your mouth shut!” Nan Gong Du Huo roared in anger.
“I will not keep my mouth shut!”
Nan Gong Qing suddenly stood up and hugged the lady in green, speaking with unswerving determination: “Father, no matter what happens, I will not give up on Xue’er, ignoring the fact that Miss Huai Rou is willing to rescind the marriage, even if she was not willing to, I will never marry her!”
“Y-y-you ingrate!”
Nan Gong Du Huo was so angry his entire body was trembling, he wanted to move and teach his son a lesson.
“Uncle Nan Gong, please hold your anger!”
Huai Rou Mu Yu started speaking again.
“My niece, you do not need to care about him, Qing’er is not sensible, I will just teach him a lesson!” Nan Gong Du Huo said.
“Uncle Nan Gong, in truth, Mu Yu does not wish to continue with the engagement either! Being forced will not make the fruit sweet, furthermore, Mu Yu does not like Young Master Qing, since Young Master Qing does not have the intent to marry me, why force it?” Huai Rou Mu Yu said.
“But…” Nan Gong Du Huo looked as though he wanted to redeem himself at all cost, but he could not find the words to do so, he opened his mouth but did not say a thing.
Huai Rou Mu Yu had already made her decision and Nan Gong Qing’s plan to stop the engagement had completely succeeded.
“Miss Huai Rou, thank you, thank you!” Nan Gong Qing called out emotionally.
“There’s nothing much to thank me for, you don’t have to feel gratified to me, I just hope that in the future, you will treat the lady beside you well and not let her down.” Huai Rou Mu Yu said.
“For Xue’er, I am willing to do anything, how can I let her down?” Nan Gong Qing said happily.
“Young master Qing” The lady in green was emotional after hearing his words.
The two of them hugged each other tightly. Seeing that, Zhang Zi Yan was both happy and worried.
The helpless Nan Gong Du Huo became angrier the more he saw them, he raised his head and looked coldly at Nan Gong Qing, and said: “Although my Nan Gong Family cannot compare to the Huai Rou Family, but in Sky Central City, it is still considered the top family, you are Nan Gong Du Huo’s son, how can you marry a woman of unknown origins? Qing’er, although you do not wish to marry Niece Huai Rou, but I will not allow you to marry that woman!!”
“Father! You…”
“Humph! You still have the face to call me father?!”
Nan Gong Du Huo swung his hand, he no longer wanted to care about Nan Gong Qing and turned to look at Su Yun: “Now we should settle this issue right? I will not question this man on why he disguised as my son, but he has stolen my Nan Gong Family Ancestor’s Divine Wind Sword Technique, this must be investigated! Kid, if you are willing to write out the forms and chant for the Divine Wind Sword Technique, and cripple your own cultivation, I will not make you responsible, otherwise you will have to die here today!”
Hearing that, Su Yun frowned: “Old Master Nan Gong, aren’t you making things difficult? If you want the Divine Wind Sword Technique, I can write out the chant and forms for you, but you want me to cripple my own cultivation, that is impossible!”
The Divine Wind Sword Technique belonged to the Nan Gong Family, he was willing to hand it over to them, but he would never cripple his own cultivation.
Hearing that, Nan Gong Du Huo sneered: “Kid, who do you think you are? You think you have the authority to haggle with me? Although I can’t see through your cultivation, but if I want to kill you, it will be as simple as flipping my palm!”
With that, Nan Gong Du Huo leapt up and took action.
Seeing that, Nan Gong Qing shouted anxiously: “Father, stop!”
However, he already had difficulty protecting himself, how could he stop Nan Gong Du Huo?
“Since you want to fight, then let me give you one!”
Su Yun was not afraid, he snorted and unsheathed the sword sheath, intending to form his sword formations… But right at that moment of imminent danger, a slim figure suddenly stood in front of him.
~Huai Rou Mu Yu!~
Su Yun and Nan Gong Du Huo were startled, Nan Gong Du Huo immediately stopped himself and retreated. He looked at Huai Rou Mu Yu in shock: “My niece, what are you doing?”
Huai Rou Mu Yu bowed once more, her expression indifferent. She spoke gently: “Uncle, you cannot kill this man or make things difficult for him, because without him, there will be no Mu Yu.”
“What do you mean?”
“Uncle, you should remember the attack in Nan Gong Family right?”
Nan Gong Du Huo became gloomy and nodded his head: “I was notified of it, my disciples have already sent people out to investigate and with the experts of your Huai Rou Family rushing here, I think that soon, the matter will be brought to light and the hand in the shadows will be pulled out.”
“Mu Yu does not have any clue as to who they are, all these years, Mu Yu has been attacked by countless of assassins, but this time round, it was different. I remember that at that time, Mu Yu was speaking to Su Yun in the house, if not for Su Yun’s early warning, Mu Yu would most likely be poisoned by the assassins and at that time of peril, Su Yun extended his hand out to help me and killed the leader of the assassins. To Mu Yu, Su Yun is my benefactor and if my benefactor is in trouble, how can Mu Yu do nothing? I hope that Uncle Nan Gong will be generous and let Su Yun go.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu lightly nodded her head and got into a begging posture.
Nan Gong Du Huo was startled.
Although he hasn’t interacted much with Huai Rou Mu Yu, he had long heard of the business genius. Huai Rou Mu Yu had calm emotions, but she was arrogant to the bones. She had never lowered her head to anyone before, or furthermore, begged anyone, but right there and then, she was pleading for Su Yun, so how could Nan Gong Du Huo not be surprised?
“My niece, are you serious?” Nan Gong Du Huo was in disbelief as he asked.
“Mu Yu never regrets anything that I have done.” Huai Rou Mu Yu revealed her determined look.
Nan Gong Du Huo kept quiet for a long time. After a while, he finally nodded his head and said: “Since Niece Huai Rou has vouched for him, then I will let this man go, but, he has to leave behind the forms and chants of the Divine Wind Sword technique.”
“This initially belongs to you, I already chose to leave it behind.”
Su Yun said indifferently.
Nan Gong Wen Tian had passed down his technique thinking that Su Yun was part of his family, causing Su Yun to feel guilty, but now, he could hand over the technique down to the Nan Gong Family and it could be seen as returning the favor. However, without obtaining the guidance from Nan Gong Wen Tian, they would most likely be unable to gain enlightenment on the essence of the technique.
Unable to do anything to Su Yun, Nan Gong Du Huo could not resolve the flaming anger in his stomach, he snorted, shrugged his sleeves and left.
Zhang Zi Yan supported Nan Gong Qing who was still kneeling down and consoled him.
Although the marriage between the Nan Gong Family and Huai Rou Family no longer existed, the matter between him and his lover would most likely be a bumpy ride, it could be said that their road to happiness would be paved with hardships.
“Cultivator friend Su, come this way, I have already told people to prepare the ink, I hope that you can write down all the forms of the Divine Wind Sword Technique.”
Nan Gong Hu walked over and revealed an amiable smile as he cupped his fists and spoke.
“Alright!”
Su Yun nodded and followed him.
After writing down the Divine Wind Sword Technique, Su Yun decided to leave. Since the matters have been resolved, he no longer had to stay in the Nan Gong Family.
Nan Gong Qing sent a person to hand over a card that had 200 thousand cultivation coins. Although the matter was done in a different manner, in the end Su Yun had helped resolve his issue. Su Yun was no courteous man and kept the card.
Once everything was over, Su Yun then tidied up his things, donning on his black cape, he headed towards the main gates of the Nan Gong Family.
“Young master Su, please wait!”
Just as Su Yun was about to leave, a voice came out from behind.
He turned, to see Xiao Hong running while holding her dress.
“Oh, Xiao Hong, what’s the matter?” Su Yun asked.
Xiao Hong ran over to him and retrieved out a purple order badge and handed it over to him with both hands.
“My young miss said it, Young Master saved her life, young miss is unable to repay it, this order badge is the Huai Rou Family’s guest badge and it will be given to Young Master as a thank you gift. With it, Young Master will be able to obtain a 30% discount from any of the Huai Rou Family’s shops and can even use this badge to enter or leave the Huai Rou Family.”
Hearing that, Su Yun shook his head: “Miss Huai Rou has already saved me more than once, the kindness has already been repaid, why is she still being so polite to me?”
“Aiyah, young master, just take it!” Xiao Hong pushed the order badge into Su Yun’s hands, and laughed: “But now that the truth has been revealed, I finally understand! So everything that you did before was to provoke my Young miss to be angry, young master’s act was rather professional.”
“I was just doing it for the job… Alright Xiao Hong, help me thank your young miss, I’ll be off.” Su Yun laughed.
“Yes, young master, have a safe journey!” Xiao Hong bowed.
When she looked again, Su Yun had already disappeared into the crowds on the street.
