C143 Making a Fool of Himself

Where the blade passed, there seemed to be no change. The old man's two fingers were already firmly holding onto his blade: "You can choose again. Master didn't mean to force you"

Nalan Kang twisted his wrist, wanting to break free. Only he knew in his heart whether his blade was going to cut Dugu Xiu or Elder Xiao. What Elder Xiao wanted him to consider was whether he should kill Dugu Xiu or betray the devil religion. Only Elder Xiao knew this clearly.

Nalan Kang shook his head, "There is no need to consider this matter. My father already knew about Dugu Xiu's birth. If she was still alive, it would be very difficult to guarantee that he would spend a large amount of money to support the God Cult, so. . . "

"So you used this matter to threaten me?" Elder Xiao's voice suddenly became cold. "You want me to know that the reason why the Divine Church has such a grand occasion is all because of your father's support? As long as I don't harm the woman you love, your father will continue to support me?"

Nalan Kang fell to his knees. "Disciple doesn't dare, absolutely not. Disciple is only worried about why my father supported the marriage between Dugu Xiu and me in the past. Most of it was because she was the orphan of the former master. Now, she suddenly realized that she had been deceived for so many years. There were some things that she couldn't help but feel unhappy about. That's why my disciple believes that only by killing this person who makes him unhappy can my father know the sincerity of the Divine Church towards him. "

Elder Xiao suddenly said in a stern voice. "The Divine Church does not need to be sincere to anyone!" After saying this, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate and continued, "Of course, Old Master Nalan is an exception. After all, he has been my good friend for many years!"

Nalan Kang finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that only by strongly requesting to kill Dugu Xiu in front of Elder Xiao, Elder Xiao would definitely not kill Dugu Xiu. On the contrary, if he were to plead for Dugu Xiu in front of him, the outcome of Dugu Xiu could be imagined.

Elder Xiao looked into his eyes firmly. "You seem to think that your scheme has succeeded?" Nalan Kang quickly lowered his head again and kowtowed. "Disciple is loyal to Master and to the Divine Sect. One can see the sun and moon in fear. "

"Hehe, that's good. But Kang'er, I don't want to kill her tonight. The only thing I can do is to wait until Xiao Nanfeng and Dugu Kuang fight, then take her out to share Dugu Kuang's heart. That will be her greatest contribution to the Divine Sect. " Elder Xiao threw Dugu Xiu to the side. Nalan Kang's body trembled, but he resisted the urge to help her up.

Dugu Xiu's face had already turned ashen. She had no idea what was going on. It seemed like everything was part of their plan, and she had mistakenly thought that she was the one who carried out the plan. In fact, she was merely the one who had been schemed against.

Xiao Nanfeng could not hear any of the contents of the conversation. But he seemed to be able to guess that this was an internal meeting of the Devil Cult, and it should have something to do with the duel one day later.

The door of the house was half-closed, enough for any Tom, Dick, and Harry to pass through. But it was impossible for an adult to pass through such a small gap. The cold moonlight shone in the backyard. The brightest light sprinkled into the demolished house, and at the end of the moonlight was a pile of firewood. Next to the firewood was a stove covered in oil, and the sparks in the stove were almost extinguished. However, the stove was still warm.

In the innermost corner of the stove, there was a place where the servants often squatted to add firewood. There was a person tied up. It was Dugu Xiu. Dugu Xiu looked at the moonlight with despair in her eyes, as if she thought that her life was like this moonlight, gradually fading away.

She had no hope at all. She did not even have any hope of survival. What she needed the most right now was a knife to end all of this. Suddenly, there was some noise outside the door. The sound of a person drawing a knife could be heard.

Even if she didn't want to live anymore, hearing this sound made her a little scared. She heard a clang, and the iron lock at the door was cut off by the knife. Dugu Xiu's heart was beating fast, but her face was ashen. She lazily looked at the person in front of her. Through the moonlight, Nalan Kang's handsome face appeared in front of her.

"Brother Kang, this is the last time I call you, right? Is it because the plan has changed and you want to kill me tonight?" Dugu Xiu's voice sounded very bleak. Nalan Kang walked in front of her, moved, and untied the ropes on her body one by one. "I don't have time to explain to you. You have to leave now!"

Dugu Xiu seemed to be shocked. "Brother Kang? You?" Nalan Kang sighed. "I only have you in my heart, just like you only have me in your heart. Don't tell me you still don't know after so many years?"

Dugu Xiu's tears flowed down and she could not control it no matter what. She sobbed and shook her head. "Then I can't leave even more. If I leave, won't you die? Besides, where can I go? "

At this time, the rope on Dugu Xiu's body had been untied. Nalan Kang helped her up. He held her hand and said excitedly, "Don't worry. With my father around, Master won't do anything to me. You have a place to go. Although your father hates you, he is still your father. As long as you admit your mistake to him, he won't be so heartless. "

Under the moonlight, the two of them hugged each other tightly. Nalan Kang touched Dugu Xiu's swollen face. "Sorry, Xiu, sorry. " Dugu Xiu kept shaking her head. Nalan Kang sighed. "You have to go. "

In the vast moonlight, Dugu Xiu ran away in a hurry. Nalan Kang looked at her back and felt an indescribable pain in his heart. At this moment, it seemed like they were saying goodbye.

After Dugu Xiu's figure disappeared into the darkness, Nalan Kang slowly turned his head. The moment he turned his head, his face turned ashen, but in this hazy night, he was not very clear.

Nalan Kang fell to his knees again with a thump. At this time, his entire body was trembling. Elder Xiao had no expression at all. Therefore, Nalan Kang had no idea what Elder Xiao was thinking. What was Elder Xiao thinking at this moment? He could only kneel down silently and did not need to explain anything. The fact that Dugu Xiu had left after the iron lock was broken by the knife was enough to explain everything.

After Elder Xiao approached Nalan Kang, he surprisingly pulled him up. "A real man should not kneel down so easily. Did Master say that he wanted to blame you?"

"But Master. . . " Nalan Kang seemed to be in a bad mood. He didn't know what to say. Elder Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Kang'er, he said. You are really smart. You know that only Dugu Kuang can rely on Dugu Xiu now. You still deliberately let her go. Since she is the public enemy of the martial arts world, Naturally, she will be denounced by everyone. Dugu Kuang is no longer human. He still had to protect his daughter. He will be doomed forever. "

Nalan Kang was still in a daze. Elder Xiao's words had woken him up from a dream. When they captured Dugu Xiu, they still needed to use her to threaten Dugu Kuang. Now, they didn't need to do anything. As long as Dugu Xiu went to find Dugu Kuang, everything would be smooth sailing.

After removing the nail on Dugu Kuang's head, it would be a huge step forward for the devil religion to unify Gusu and even the Jianghu! Nalan Kang also smiled. "Master is really thoughtful. " Elder Xiao hurriedly said. He shook his head and stopped him. No, this is all your attention. I'm not as smart as you. After all, I'm old. "

After saying this last sentence, Elder Xiao flicked his sleeves and left. Feng Chen rolled up his face and disappeared under the moonlight. Although his people had left, his words still came: "I hope that's your idea. "

Obviously, Elder Xiao didn't want to believe that Nalan Kang would betray him for Dugu Xiu. Therefore, even if all of this wasn't planned by Nalan Kang. . . Even if he really betrayed him for Dugu Xiu's sake, Elder Xiao wouldn't admit it.

Nalan Kang stood blankly in the cold wind. A crystal clear teardrop fell from his face. He wiped his eyes and raised his head to look at the stars in the sky.

There was a price to pay for doing something wrong. Dugu Xiu was the best example. She stayed at the entrance of Dugu family for the whole night, not daring to go in. Until the next morning, she finally knocked on the door of the Dugu family.

The one who opened the door was the son at the door. He yawned lazily, but he did not expect to see the second young lady of his family. Of course, she was now the young madam of the Nalan family. If he wanted to become the wife of the Nalan family, he would be one of the most prestigious people in the world. Therefore, Dugu Xiu's status in the entire Gusu had skyrocketed.

However, they seemed to have forgotten another thing, which was that there were some people who controlled the various big sects, and their hatred towards Dugu Xiu had already penetrated deep into their bones.

"Dad! Daughter was wrong!" Dugu Xiu knelt down in front of the Dugu family, but she didn't dare to step in. The son of the gatekeeper was startled. How could the master who fell from the sky treat him like this? He immediately woke up from his daze. It was useless to persuade her, so he could only go in and inform Dugu Kuang.

At this moment, Dugu Kuang was practicing the Taichi Fist in the courtyard of his house. He had yet to finish this set of fist technique. The son of the gatekeeper had already rushed in. Dugu Kuang said angrily, "What a panic!"

The man gasped for breath and said in a rough voice, "Master, Second Miss, Second Miss is kneeling at the door!"

Dugu Kuang was also shocked when he heard that, but the fist technique in his hand did not show any signs of disorder. He only lightly threw down a few words. "Kneel down!" It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky. The sweat on Dugu Xiu's face had long soaked her clothes. She licked her lips up and down, and a feeling of drying up surged into her heart.

She wished that she could immediately jump into the pool at home to drink, but now she could only kneel down. If she wanted to live, this was the only way out. At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind her. "Hahaha, This time, after capturing Dugu Xiu, we will also lock her up in the dungeon. Torture her for ten days to half a month, let's see if she can endure it or not!"

Someone suddenly interrupted him. "Look!" He pointed at the entrance of the Dugu family and said. The group of people looked over there and saw Dugu Xiu kneeling at the entrance, drenched in sweat. That person shouted, "Could this be the legendary Dugu Xiu?"

Someone went forward to take a look and found that it was indeed Dugu Xiu. Everyone was in an uproar and they gritted their teeth. "It was indeed her. She caused us to be so miserable. We must take her away today! Brothers, let's go!"

A group of people rushed over like crazy. Dugu Xiu lowered her head in despair. She knew that Dugu Kuang would not forgive her. This was also good. After all, she owed them. She would return all of this to them.

Just as the crowd rushed over, they heard the sound of the door closing. Dugu Xiu was sucked in by a powerful wave of inner energy. A faint voice said, "My daughter, I will manage it myself!"

Dugu Xiu cried emotionally. She did not expect Dugu Kuang to still be willing to call her his daughter even now. This was a great form of forgiveness. Those people rushed to the door and were suddenly rejected by the door. Naturally, they were unhappy.

"Dugu Villa Lord, the person we are looking for today is Dugu Xiu. She will definitely not cause trouble in the manor!" One of them shouted. However, the effect was not obvious. That person did not wait for an answer.

Thus, another person suggested: "Damn it, let's just charge in and forget about it. They have plundered a lot of people's fat over the years, so we can share some of the wealth for the people at the same time"

"Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?" His words carried weight. It was Murong Ke's voice. They knew how many people would be involved in this matter, so they wouldn't act rashly, because the first person they had to deal with was Dugu Kuang, who had the highest reputation in Gusu City in the past.

At this moment, Dugu Xiu was kneeling in front of Dugu Kuang. Dugu Xiu's face was red and swollen. Although Dugu Kuang saw it, he didn't show the slightest bit of heartache. He did not want to say anything more to Dugu Xiu. Dugu Xiu lowered her head and did not know what to say. Both of them were silent for a long time. Dugu Xiu slowly shed tears of sadness.

"Is there no place to go?" She did not expect Dugu Kuang to be the first to speak. Dugu Xiu lifted her head with difficulty and nodded slowly. Dugu Kuang let out a long sigh, turned around and said to the maidservant beside him, "Clean up the young lady's room and let her stay first. "

Dugu Xiu hurriedly looked at Dugu Kuang, but did not dare to look into his eyes. At this time, the restlessness outside the door was getting bigger and bigger. Over a thousand disciples from over thirty sects were gathered here. They were all following their Sect Chief to find Dugu Xiu.

Although the Dugu family's gate was strong, it couldn't stop such a group of people. They hastily knocked the door open. The moment the door fell, They saw Dugu Kuang standing in front of a stone wall. The stone wall behind Dugu Kuang was engraved with the standard small seal script. It seemed that it had been there for a long time. This was a small seal script that Dugu Kuang's grandfather had asked someone to forge when the Dugu family was in its infancy.

Currently, Dugu Kuang was standing there with a sage-like air about him. Everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. The noise slowly died down. Dugu Kuang thought to himself, "What a good daughter. You are really my good daughter. Coming back at this time is obviously trying to kill me!" But there was no other way. Since he came back, he had to bear the responsibility.
