Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Past of Nangong Wu_1

"Why can’t I be here?"

Zhang Xian looked at Ximen Chuifeng and laughed, "So you’re implying that if I’m not here, you can take advantage of Sister Wu? Aren’t you afraid I’ll slap you?"

"Er..."

Ximen Chuifeng’s mouth twitched rhythmically as he heard this.

However, even if he was angry, he wouldn’t dare to argue with Zhang Xian, who could knock him off his feet with a single slap.

"Who’s this youngster?" Liu Changfeng was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Xian.

Mostly because Zhang Xian had just pushed Ximen Chuifeng aside without any backlash. This confused him.

Even though Ximen Chuifeng isn’t someone who would suffer in silence for the sake of his pride, he wouldn’t let himself be bullied either. The scene just now was witnessed by many, and if Ximen Chuifeng had no constraints, would he be able to hold himself back?

"If I were you..."

Zhang Xian looked at Ximen Chuifeng and chuckled coldly, "I would step aside and keep out of trouble. Otherwise, you might find yourself in hot water, and wonder how you ended up there."

"You..."

Ximen Chuifeng gave Zhang Xian a gloomy look then turned and walked away.

Zhang Xian’s strengths were apparent, and he was helpless. As an important figure in the Ximen Family, in the face of an innate master like Zhang Xian, he wasn’t even a competition.

"Young man..."

Liu Changfeng came to Zhang Xian’s side after watching Ximen Chuifeng leave, chuckling, "My name is Liu Changfeng, I’m the head of the Liu family. There are a lot of guests today, so if I have overlooked anything, please forgive me. But, young man, your face looks unfamiliar to me. We don’t seem to know each other, do we? Are you here because you accompanied your friends, and are gracing us with your presence?"

"Yes, I came here with a friend."

Zhang Xian was somewhat surprised when he saw Liu Changfeng approaching. But upon further thought, he quickly understood.

This old man must have seen how Ximen Chuifeng couldn’t do anything in front of him and wanted to probe him. After all, Ximen Chuifeng is the young master of the Ximen Family, a person of considerable status.

Thinking about this, Zhang Xian pretended not to know and asked with a smile, "What made you come over, Family Head Liu? Is there something you need?"

"No, no, no..."

Liu Changfeng laughed, "I just wanted to greet you because I hadn’t seen you before."

"Well..."

Zhang Xian said, "I’m just a nobody, you didn’t have to. As the host today, you should be accompanying those big shots, not me."

"Haha..."

Liu Changfeng laughed, "Young man, you sure know how to make jokes. I noticed that you seem to know my nephew Chuifeng, which quite interests me. May I ask where you are from?"

"I’ve already told you."

Zhang Xian said, "I’m just a nobody. Even if I told you where I’m from, you might not even know the place. I’m from the mountains."

Liu Changfeng, seeing that Zhang Xian wasn’t willing to reveal his background, became even more curious. But since Zhang Xian was unwilling to tell, and there were no other reasons, it would be inappropriate to pry.

After exchanging polite words with Zhang Xian, he gave a smile and went on his way.

"Haha..."

Suddenly, a hearty laughter echoed, and a middle-aged man wearing a white suit walked in, "Uncle Liu, today is a big day for you!"

"Haha..."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Changfeng laughed heartily, "Nephew Wenhuo, you seem to be running a bit late, aren’t you?"

"Not really! I came as quickly as I could."

Nangong Wenhuo strode up to Liu Changfeng and said, "Uncle Liu, it’s been half a year, and you’re still as handsome as ever!"

"Oh, what handsome? One cannot avoid getting old."

Liu Changfeng laughed, gestured for him to go inside, and said, "Come come come, let’s sit inside. The sun is quite strong out here."

With a smile, Nangong Wenhuo stepped toward the inside.

"He..."

When Nangong Wu saw Nangong Wenhuo, a blurry figure suddenly surfaced in her mind. As the memory slowly emerged, the figure became clearer.

"Sister Wu, what’s wrong?"

Li Peichi asked curiously, "You were fine just now, why does your face suddenly pale?"

"Are you from the Nangong family?"

Zhang Xian, seeing Nangong Wu’s eyes fixed on Nangong Wenhuo and both using the surname Nangong, couldn’t help wonder, "Your reaction right now is quite suspicious!"

"I..."

Nangong Wu didn’t know what to say.

In fact, Zhang Xian was right to suspect. She was indeed from the Nangong Family, but she was forced to leave home and was adopted by a kind couple due to certain events from the past. Now, she no longer considers herself a member of the Nangong Family, and this has always been a secret she kept to herself. Even Mo Shaoyun has no idea that she’s from the Nangong Family.

But today, when she saw Nangong Wenhuo, she couldn’t help but remember the past.

One could say that from the moment she was born, she was destined to have a tragic childhood, despite her father being the pride of the Nangong Family and a genius. However, fate played a cruel joke. Nangong Wenjie, the man in whom the Nangong Family had placed high hopes and Nangong Wu’s father, fell in love with a woman from the Evil Cultivator, leading to a tragedy.

In that event, the only decent people from the Nangong Family were Nangong Wenhuo and his wife. Everyone else played an ugly role, forcing her parents to their deaths for an ancient book.

That year, she was only six years old. After her parents passed away, her social status plunged, and she became a target of bullying.

Finally, at a very young age, she considered running away from home and even put this idea into action. What could drive a six-year-old girl to run away from home?

"Sister Wu, I’m sorry for bringing up your painful past."

Upon seeing tears welling in Nangong Wu eyes, Zhang Xian wiped his nose and said, "But we can’t always live in the past, we have to look to the future. You’re doing great now, aren’t you?"

"Hmm, I understand."

Nangong Wu nodded and said, "Zhang Xian, thank you! Thank you for everything you’ve done for me."

Zhang Xian was stunned, then waved his hand dismissively, "Why are you thanking me? Aren’t we friends now? Should I just stand by and watch when my friend is in trouble?"

"Wu...Sister Wu, are you really from the Nangong Family?"

Seeing that Nangong Wu didn’t refute, Mo Shaoyun asked in surprise, "Why have I never heard you mention this before?"

"I don’t want to talk about the past."

Nangong Wu said, "About this, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. Now, I’m no longer a part of the Nangong Family. I just haven’t changed my last name."

"I see!" Mo Shaoyun understood Nangong Wu’s predicament and had no intention of blaming her.

Everyone had their own secrets; some could be shared while others would be known only to oneself.

Just like Zhang Xian, he had secrets of his own, too many secrets related to his skills. But she knew that those were Zhang Xian’s personal secrets.

Hence, she had never pressed him about his past, even though she was now the closest person to him.

"Old Liu..."

Another shout rang out.

"Haha, Old Cao, you always time it just right, don’t you!"

When Liu Changfeng saw who had arrived, he burst out laughing. However, he didn’t go to greet him and instead waited where he was.

The difference between the newcomer and the Five Great Families became evident in an instant. The newcomer was from the second-tier Cao Family in Beijing, and they didn’t yet have the power to rival the Five Great Families.

"Zhang Xian..."

Cao Zheng quickly spotted Zhang Xian.

However, he didn’t intend to acknowledge him just yet. Today was Liu Changfeng’s birthday, and he wasn’t foolish enough to cause a scene at a party hosted by the Liu family and embarrass them.

"Uncle Liu..."

At this point, another beautiful woman walked in, elegant and smiling brightly. "I hope I’m not late?"

"Haha..."

Liu Changfeng walked up to her and laughed, "Shuiluo, dinner’s about to start, are you late or not? Couldn’t you arrive a bit earlier and keep me company?"

Murong Shuiluo laughed and said, "I originally planned to arrive early, but something came up. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Uncle Liu."

"Haha, no worries."

Liu Changfeng laughed, saying, "The sun’s quite strong out there, come inside and sit."

"Hmm..."

Murong Shuiluo gave a small laugh and gracefully walked inside.

"That woman certainly has charm!" Zhang Xian’s eyes were fixed on Murong Shuiluo, expressing his admiration.

This woman might not be extraordinarily attractive, but she exuded a mature and enchanting aura that was irresistible, like a perfectly ripe peach.

Her black dress clung to her voluptuous figure, and even though she wasn’t typically seductive, she naturally emanated an alluring and provocative charm that tempted people’s hearts.

"Had enough?" asked Mo Shaoyun, a cold expression on her face.

Zhang Xian quickly averted his gaze, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "I didn’t mean anything by it."

"Your eyes were practically glowing, and you say you didn’t mean anything?"

"Did you use your x-ray vision just now, you saw everything about that woman, didn’t you?" Mo Shaoyun glared at Zhang Xian.

"No... absolutely not."

Zhang Xian waved his hands in denial, "Wife, although I have that ability, I don’t usually invade other people’s privacy. We don’t have that kind of hobby."

"You really didn’t look?" Mo Shaoyun wasn’t buying it.

Zhang Xian said, "Do you want me to swear to the heavens?"

"Alright! I believe you."

Mo Shaoyun didn’t ask Zhang Xian to swear. This guy rarely lied.

"That woman just now was great, right?"

Li Peichi looked at Zhang Xian and laughed, "I noticed your eyes were glued to her. Do you fancy that woman?"

"Not at all!"

Zhang Xian replied, "She just gave me a stunning impression, that’s all. As for fancying her, that’s definitely a no. Can you stop slandering the pure-hearted me?"

"You? Pure-hearted?"

Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Li Peichi all rolled their eyes at Zhang Xian in unison.

Even Nangong Wu shook her head with a wry smile at that point. Zhang Xian was indeed sometimes amusing. But it was exactly because of this that they often had a great time when they were with him.
