C116 It Came and Went like a Ghost

In the distant darkness of the night, a man suddenly crawled up from among the dozen or so people. There were spider webs all over his body, so the blades in the darkness did not hurt his vitals.

Xiao Nanfeng would never care about this kind of thing, because he had more important things to do. However, without Murong Ke's help, it would take a lot of time.

Xiao Nanfeng planned to go to Taihu Lake first to find the place where everyone was imprisoned, and then bring everyone to Dugu Gate to ask for an explanation. However, how could Taihu Water be Dugu Xiu's territory? This was something he didn't know. If he went there and alerted the enemy, once he angered Dugu Xiu, it would be hard to guarantee that those people wouldn't be implicated.

Xiao Nanfeng didn't dare to make the worst decision. Initially, he wanted to hold Dugu Xiu and Dugu Kuang back and let Murong Ke save those people. Once that group of people was saved. . . Then the pressure on Xiao Nanfeng's side would be greatly reduced.

He looked at the deep moonlight. Xiao Nanfeng gradually fell asleep. The lights in front of the Ivy residence had never been extinguished. This hotel seemed to never have the habit of closing or closing. They could even receive guests who came from afar in the middle of the night.

Xiao Nanfeng had witnessed such a scene many times, so he chose to rest in the vicinity. With the help of the weak lights, Xiao Nanfeng could clearly see the words' Green Vine House '. On the opposite side was the Shen family, but at this moment, Xiao Nanfeng did not want to take half a step into it.

Because he didn't want Shen Dongyang to interfere in this matter. After all, he had already paid a great price for this matter. He had even risked his life to tell him the whole story.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the door of the Verdant Tarn House suddenly opened. With a creak, the door was pushed open, and an old man walked out. Xiao Nanfeng was familiar with this old man. After all, he had been drinking here a few times, and he was the one receiving him every time.

Xiao Nanfeng narrowed his eyes, as if he was meditating. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to sleep anymore, because at this moment, a person walked in from outside the door. This person was wearing very gorgeous clothes, and his entire body was covered with high-quality silk fabric. There was a Seven Star treasured saber at his waist. The sheath of the treasured saber was inlaid with seven huge gems.

The man's hair was tied up in a bun, and a shoulder-length blue hairband was particularly eye-catching under the light. Only half of his face was exposed in Xiao Nanfeng's line of sight, so Xiao Nanfeng was not sure if he was the person he thought he was.

Nalan Kang. Why would Nalan Kang come here at such a late hour? As the only descendant of the Nalan family, this man could be said to be the most popular young master in the Gusu City. Apart from the marriage alliance with the Dugu family, he had never been involved in any affairs of the martial world.

The corner of Xiao Nanfeng's eyes had slightly opened. He wanted to see more clearly. There was a smile on the old man's face. He seemed to have seen such a smile somewhere before. Under the light, it looked so kind and comforting.

Nalan Kang bowed to the old man and said something. The two of them went upstairs together. In this quiet night, it seemed like the sound of them going upstairs could be heard by Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng could feel that the footsteps of these two people were very uniform. The weight of each step was almost the same. A strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Since Nalan Kang and Dugu Xiu were engaged, then he might know the whole story.

There was even a possibility that he was also one of the masterminds. If that was the case, then what was this Green Vine Ya Residence? Could it be that the old man from earlier was also related to this matter?

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head with a bitter smile. He opened his mouth and yawned. If this matter was related to that old man in his late years, then this matter was a bit absurd. One should know that Xiao Nanfeng had already eaten and stayed in this restaurant several times.

It seemed like his every word and action had been watched by this old man. Thinking about this was also impossible. What Xiao Nanfeng was hesitating about right now was another matter. Why was Nalan Kang so respectful to this old man? Could it be that he was an elder of Nalan Kang?

If he was an elder of Nalan family, he wouldn't be able to come out to entertain guests at his age. Because their family's wealth was enough to let all the elders in Gusu City who were over sixty years old eat and drink for fifty years.

If it wasn't an elder, then who was this elder? He thought of the Seven Star Blade that Nalan Kang had brought along at his waist. It was so late at night, and he had brought the saber to an inconspicuous restaurant. What was the purpose of this? Could it be that Nalan Kang was following this old man?

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head again. The old man had been in contact with Xiao Nanfeng many times. If the old man had a deep foundation in martial arts, it was impossible for Xiao Nanfeng not to notice it. If it was just a normal level, Nalan Kang would never have met such an old man here.

Time passed by slowly. Xiao Nanfeng really wanted to go up and see what the two of them were doing. He slowly moved his body, but his shoulder was pressed by one person. This person came a little too suddenly. Xiao Nanfeng was slightly stunned. There was already a knife in his hand. This knife happened to be placed on the person's neck.

When he saw the person who had come, Xiao Nanfeng turned pale with fright. Wasn't this that Young Master Bai from the Apricot Flower Forest? No, it should be said that this was the Miss Bai that he had saved on the way back.

Bai Zi blinked her eyes and looked at Xiao Nanfeng with a smile on her face. Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head and asked, "Why are you here?" Bai Zi blinked her eyes and said, "Wherever Mr Xiao is, I will be there. "

Xiao Nanfeng said helplessly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Quickly leave this place. " Looking at Bai Zi's snow-white clothes, Xiao Nanfeng seemed to feel that his clothes were somewhat out of place.

When two people stood together like this, he would definitely think that a rich young master was tipping a homeless beggar! Xiao Nanfeng saw that Bai Zi did not have any intention of leaving. He then asked, "Alright, then let me ask you, do your father know that you came out?"

Bai Zi wrinkled her nose and smiled slightly, "That is of course. If he does not know, how can I invite experts like Miracle Hand Zhang San and Night Spider?" When it came to Night Spider, Bai Zi's face revealed a hint of apology.

Xiao Nanfeng finally knew what happened in the tavern. He didn't expect that his every move was monitored by Bai Zi. Bai Zi's father was the current alliance leader of the martial arts world, Saber Emperor Bai Qianqiu.

Bai Zi sneaked out alone in her early years and met a group of bandits along the way. Bai Zi was only thirteen years old at that time. She had never seen such a scene before. At this time, Xiao Nanfeng just happened to appear. All of this happened too naturally. At that time, Xiao Nanfeng was only fourteen years old. But at that time, it was precisely when he defeated Hua Wuxue.

After Xiao Nanfeng defeated the group of bandits, he was seriously injured. Bai Zi brought Xiao Nanfeng back to the Martial Forest Alliance. Under the management of the Saber Emperor, he recovered his vitality in a short three to five days.

After that, he also received guidance from the Saber Emperor. The Saber Emperor thought that although his saber technique was swift and fierce, it lacked strength. If he could not defeat his opponent in one move, then he would be at a disadvantage from now on.

The Saber Emperor was sacred and inviolable, and so was the Saber Emperor's domain, the Imperial Realm. Xiao Nanfeng knew that it was impossible for a saber user of that level to stay here for long. Therefore, even though Bai Zi kept urging him to stay, Xiao Nanfeng still made up his mind to leave.

The Saber Emperor nodded his head. "This child's future will definitely be limitless. Let him go. I think that in the near future, he will still come back here. "

Xiao Nanfeng only treated the Saber Emperor's words as a form of encouragement because Xiao Nanfeng had never set his eyes on any place outside the Gusu. Therefore, it was impossible for him to think that he would return to the Imperial Realm one day.

Bai Zi's sudden appearance in the Gusu shocked Xiao Nanfeng. He thought that she was carrying her father out to play again, but after asking, it was not like that. Xiao Nanfeng did not understand why Saber Emperor ordered Bai Zi to come to Gusu at this time.

Could it be that he also knew what had happened here? Thinking about it, it made sense. It was a major event that shook the entire martial arts world. No matter how big the world was, it would still spread. Xiao Nanfeng shook his head and asked, "Then, Senior Saber Emperor, what did he order you to do?"

Bai Zi looked left and right. After confirming that there were no outsiders, she said, "This matter is a long story. The main thing is still what happened in Gusu City. As a city-state of the Wu Lin Alliance, my father naturally has to interfere in the matters in Gusu City. So. . . "

Xiao Nanfeng asked with a skeptical gaze," So he sent you here? Does he think you are very capable and can handle this matter? "

Bai Zi's face instantly turned red. Seeing Xiao Nanfeng's doubtful eyes, Bai Zi could only sigh and say, "Sigh, this matter is really hard to say clearly. I will definitely tell you about it in the future, but the most important thing right now is to solve everything in Gusu. Otherwise, you won't be able to do anything. "

Xiao Nanfeng seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in Bai Zi's words. If his guess was right, something must have happened in Imperial Realm, and Saber Emperor himself might have encountered an unprecedented difficulty.

However, Xiao Nanfeng did not want to expose the truth of the matter at this moment, because just like what Bai Zi had said, even if Xiao Nanfeng knew the truth of the matter, he would not be able to find the time to solve it.

Because this matter was really too troublesome. No one could easily solve it in a short period of time. Furthermore! It was very likely that he would not be able to solve the problem. After all, he was currently weak and couldn't be compared with the Dugu family and Nalan family.

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "Then I understand. You don't have to say anything. I won't ask you now. I will only ask you one question. What do you plan to do now? "

Bai Zi kept staring at Xiao Nanfeng with her bright eyes. She shook her head and said, "I have to ask you this. Mr Xiao, I came here to see how you are going to solve this problem. I didn't say I was going to help you! "

Xiao Nanfeng was so angry that he almost fainted. This was not a joke. From Bai Zi's words and actions, it seemed that she thought this matter was easy for Xiao Nanfeng, so she only needed to watch quietly from the side.

"Then you must have brought some people over, right? I think Zhang San and Night Spider are not ordinary people, to be able to invite these two seniors over. I think you must have invited others, right? " At this time, if there were more experts to help, then things would be much easier. Xiao Nanfeng was somewhat hoping that the Saber Emperor would send more people over.

Bai Zi still shook her head. "I have also considered this matter. But father said that it is enough to bring the two of them along. He said that with your ability, there is nothing that you cannot solve. "

Xiao Nanfeng's entire body began to tremble. He felt that Bai Zi did not come to help him this time. She was simply here to cause trouble. He wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Xiao Nanfeng discovered that Nalan Kang, who was holding the Seven Star Saber, had already staggered out of the Green Vine Edifice.

Judging from the way he held his chest, it was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury. Who was the one who had beaten Nalan Kang to such a state? Although it was a serious injury, Could it be that old man? Xiao Nanfeng regretted that he didn't take a closer look just now. He rolled his eyes at Bai Zi, who was beside him, but Bai Zi pointed at Qing Teng Ya Ju and said, "Look!"

Not long after Nalan Kang left, the old man slowly walked out of the door. He watched Nalan Kang walk away with his eyes, and then turned his face towards Xiao Nanfeng. Xiao Nanfeng felt goosebumps all over his body.

Logically speaking, Xiao Nanfeng was hiding in the darkness, and there were no corresponding lighting facilities around him. No matter how good the old man's eyesight was, it was impossible for him to see the people here, but the old man was clearly smiling at him.

Xiao Nanfeng couldn't sit still any longer. But at this moment, he could not move. He knew nothing about this old man, so he had no reason to question him. He could only hold his breath and pull Bai Zi behind him, quietly waiting.

After a long time, the old man's smile gradually disappeared, but his laughter penetrated the darkness and reached Xiao Nanfeng's ears. This laughter was very old, just like the laughter of his grandfather. Every time his grandfather spoke, Xiao Nanfeng had to learn from him. Therefore, after a long period of time, Xiao Nanfeng also trained to have a broken throat.

For a moment, Xiao Nanfeng felt that this old man was like his grandfather, but it was impossible. His grandfather had passed away many years ago. Even if he was still alive, his grandfather would never appear here.

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. When he looked up again, the door of the Green Vine House had closed. There was no one jumping on the window paper for a long time. Xiao Nanfeng knew that nothing would happen tonight.

He looked back at Bai Zi and found that she had fallen asleep leaning on him. Looking at Bai Zi sleeping foolishly, Xiao Nanfeng shook his head helplessly. This kind of place was definitely not suitable for a girl to stay overnight, so he planned to take her to a place.

This place was not far from here, just opposite of the Green Vine Ya Residence.

Bai Zi woke up early the next day and suddenly discovered that she was covered with a soft blanket. She rubbed her head and thought about what happened yesterday. Only then did she come back to her senses. She lifted her head and looked around, but there was not a trace of a person.

No one knew where Xiao Nanfeng had gone. Xiao Nanfeng was currently heading to the bank of Taihu Lake. On the way, he stopped because he met a person, so he did not need to go alone.
