Nangong Man Sha stared sharply at the person in front of her. This person’s appearance was too sudden, she hadn’t even noticed. "They all say Miss Man Sha has a special constitution. Seems it’s true, you managed to detoxify so quickly." The person half-squatted, looking at Nangong Man Sha with great interest, "Someone, go notify the Sect Hierarch, saying we’ve discovered a very peculiar species that needs thorough investigation." As he spoke, his fingers in black gloves lightly lifted Nangong Man Sha’s chin, clicking his tongue in admiration, "I’ve always seen you on TV, stunningly exquisite. Now, seeing up close, you truly are a seductive beauty." Nangong Man Sha swiftly turned her head to the side, speaking in a disdainful tone, "Get your filthy hands off!" The man, seeing the deep disdain in Nangong Man Sha’s eyes, didn’t get angry. He curled his lips slightly, "They say Miss Man Sha has a fiery personality. Meeting you today, it’s indeed true. But this temper, I like." "I say, Third Elder, don’t forget our real purpose here." The disciple behind Third Elder couldn’t help but step forward to remind him. He coughed lightly, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear, "Third Elder, the Sect Hierarch is still waiting upstairs." Nangong Man Sha paused for a moment, then her eyes widened in shock. Upstairs, her grandfather was still up there. Earlier, she had sent Mrs. Wu to check on her grandfather’s condition. But when Mrs. Wu returned, she hadn’t had the chance to ask before she fainted, unaware of her grandfather’s current state. "What do you want to do to my grandfather?" Nangong Man Sha glared at them with sharp eyes. She wanted to stand up, but her body was still weak. "Miss Man Sha, don’t worry. We just want to borrow something from Old Master Nangong. As long as he’s willing to lend it, we’ll ensure the Nangong Family remains unharmed. If he refuses to cooperate, then these people might never wake up." After speaking, the man gently raised his hand, "Stay here and properly entertain Miss Man Sha. This is her territory, after all, don’t be too negligent." Nangong Man Sha felt helpless for the first time. She truly wished she could master martial arts so she could teach these people a lesson! "Miss Man Sha, don’t hate us so much. We haven’t done anything to you, just asking you to temporarily endure this. Once our Sect Hierarch and your grandfather finish their conversation, as long as he cooperates, you’ll be released." The person left to guard Nangong Man Sha saw the anger and hatred in her eyes and couldn’t resist mocking her. Nangong Man Sha glared at him fiercely, her phone lying on the ground beside her, its screen still showing the interface of her call with Chu Ge, although the call had ended. She wondered if Chu Ge could infer her meaning and realize she was in a dangerous situation... ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net At this moment, as Nangong Man Sha imagined, Chu Ge looked at the disconnected call on the phone, stunned for a moment. Beside him, Huo Tianqian asked in confusion, "Mr. Chu, what’s the matter?" Chu Ge shook his head slightly, squinting at something ahead as if he had a thought, "I think the real objective of these people isn’t to target us, those of Ancient Martial Arts, but rather the Nangong Family." Huo Tianqian paused, looking at Chu Ge in confusion, "Mr. Chu, do you mean..." "Just now, Nangong Man Sha called, saying something happened to the Nangong Family. But before she could finish, the call was disconnected. There must have been more danger." As Chu Ge spoke, he stood up, "Let’s go, we should take a look." Huo Tianqian quickly stood up and followed Chu Ge, preparing to leave. Not far away, Gongsun Lihan and Zhang Youwei had just begun their stone gambling. Zhang Youwei looked at Long Ang with disdain, "Oh, you actually brought a helper. But even with help, the result will be the same." Gongsun Lihan snorted lightly. Although she was not confident internally, it was still better than facing it alone without understanding anything. Forget it, having reached this point, she could only comfort herself . Gongsun Lihan sighed silently in her heart and then raised her head to say to Zhang Youwei, "I ask you, are you gambling or not? From the start, it’s all talk, maybe you’re scared?" Zhang Youwei hearing this, laughed immediately, "Afraid? Here in my eyes, Zhang Youwei has never known the word fear. Since you’ve decided, let’s start. Soon I’ll show you real fear." Long Ang stood there without speaking, his eyes glimpsing Chu Ge rushing towards the exit, paused, then hastened to block Chu Ge. "Mr. Chu, where are you going?" Long Ang, seeing Chu Ge in such a hurry, guessed something must have happened. Chu Ge shook his head, "Something’s come up, we’ve learned the real purpose of the Shadow Killers, and we’re preparing to head there now." Long Ang intended to say he would join, but before he could, his arm was gently held by a pair of soft little hands. "You can’t go back on your promise, all my hopes rest with you now." Gongsun Lihan looked at Long Ang with a pitiable expression. Long Ang suddenly regretted agreeing to this, but there was no chance to back out now. He was someone who valued his commitments greatly, having promised Gongsun Lihan, he definitely needed to fulfill it. Long Ang sighed, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you with the gambling stone." After finishing his words, he looked at Chu Ge again and said, "Mr. Chu, you go ahead, I will assist shortly." Chu Ge nodded slightly, then accelerated away from the gambling stone field. Long Ang returned to the gambling stone table, seeing Zhang Youwei expressing disdain and impatience, coldly saying, "One round to determine the winner, you start choosing." Zhang Youwei didn’t stand on ceremony, his lips curling into a contemptuous smile as he walked to the table, starting to seriously select stones. Gongsun Lihan watched him nervously, observing his occasional frowns and head scratching as if he genuinely knew how to choose stones. Gongsun Lihan glanced at Long Ang, seeing him with an indifferent expression, and deep, unreadable eyes devoid of tension. Is this person truly capable? Gongsun Lihan wondered. Very quickly, Zhang Youwei chose the stones. However, what he didn’t notice was, at the moment he selected the stones, Long Ang gently pointed his index finger on the table. No one noticed this small gesture of Long Ang, with Zhang Youwei confidently picking up the stone. "I’ve made my choice."
