Mr. Nangong sat there as if nothing was wrong, calm and composed, with no hint of fear. Seeing this, Chu Ge couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, "Mr. Nangong, you’re indeed very calm." Mr. Nangong, originally sitting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the visitor, he smiled slightly, "Mr. Chu, thank you for coming to our family’s rescue again. The Nangong Family truly cannot repay your kindness." Chu Ge chuckled, "Kindness or not, these are things we should do. After all, the Black Widow is an Ancient Martial Artist, and her attack on ordinary people clearly violates our rules." Mr. Nangong’s lips curled, thinking that though those words were said, he always cherished Chu Ge’s kindness in his heart. After a few more words with Chu Ge, Mr. Nangong turned his gaze to Xia Tian beside him, "Xia Tian, why are you here too?" With an apologetic look at Mr. Nangong, Xia Tian said, "Mr. Nangong, I’m very sorry. The grave damage inflicted on the Nangong Family today is due to our negligence." Mr. Nangong waved his hand, "You shouldn’t say it like that. You didn’t want things to happen this way either. Forget it, there’s no need to be overly self-reproaching; fortunately, there’s no irreparable loss." Thinking of something, he asked worriedly, "By the way, how are those downstairs?" He had been upstairs, struggling to maintain his own safety, unable to ascertain the condition of the servants. What he was most grateful for was that none of the Nangong Family members were in the Old Mansion except for Nangong Man Sha and Nangong Yunhai, and neither of them was harmed, which was his greatest comfort. "A few couldn’t be treated in time and died, the exact number hasn’t been tallied yet, but the others are all safe." Upon hearing that some had died, Mr. Nangong felt deeply troubled and sighed, "It’s truly a sin." Chu Ge sat down opposite Mr. Nangong, looked at him seriously, "Old Master, why did the Black Widow suddenly attack the Nangong Family?" When he arrived, the Black Widow was sitting opposite Mr. Nangong, and the two seemed to be talking. Chu Ge suspected that Mr. Nangong must have something the Black Widow wanted. Mr. Nangong gave Chu Ge a deep look, then turned his gaze to Xia Tian, finally only sighing without saying anything. He shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, perhaps it’s fate." It seemed he wasn’t willing to say more. Chu Ge pondered for a moment, "Mr. Nangong, if you’re unwilling to speak, I won’t force you, but if the Black Widow fails this time, she’ll surely attempt again. If by then everyone in the Nangong Family is here, do you think only a few servants will die like today?" Mr. Nangong raised his eyes, looking at Chu Ge with confusion and hesitation in his clouded eyes. "I..." Mr. Nangong’s lips trembled, hesitating, unsure if he should speak. Beside him, Xia Tian witnessed Mr. Nangong’s dilemma and sighed slightly in his heart. He said, "Mr. Nangong, even if you don’t speak now, Mr. Chu will certainly find out in the future." Chu Ge suspiciously looked at Xia Tian, "It seems you clearly know why they target the Nangong Family." After pondering for a while, Xia Tian nodded, "I know a little, but right now, having Mr. Nangong tell you directly might be more appropriate." Chu Ge turned his gaze back to Mr. Nangong, "Old Master, the choice to speak lies with you, I won’t force you." Mr. Nangong knew clearly that Chu Ge would sooner or later find out, and rather than letting him find out later, leading to irreparable consequences, it was better to tell him now so he could help decide the best action. After struggling internally for a long time, Mr. Nangong sighed slowly, "Forget it, it’s no big deal to tell Mr. Chu." Chu Ge watched Mr. Nangong earnestly, waiting for him to speak. "Their true purpose for coming to the Nangong Family is actually an ancient book." Get full chapters from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Chu Ge looked puzzled at Mr. Nangong. The Nangong Family had no members cultivating ancient martial arts, so he didn’t understand what secret martial arts manual the ancient book could be, as it held no practical use for the Nangong Family and even brought about deadly peril. "This ancient book comes with an old saying that has persisted, ’With it, one can conquer the world.’ Mr. Nangong sighed, "It is because of this saying, along with the fact that since acquiring this ancient book, the Nangong Family’s businesses in the commercial sphere and political careers have seemed almost blessed, with unlimited prospects." Because of this, those with ambition have become wary of the Nangong Family, attempting to seize the ancient book." Chu Ge was deeply curious about what kind of ancient book could cause such a significant effect and give rise to rumors of gaining the world. In today’s world, could one truly overturn the status quo with just an ancient book? Do these people even have brains! "What kind of ancient book is it?" Chu Ge asked curiously. People are always , insatiably greedy. Even if they obtained the ancient book, what then? Do they truly wish to conquer the world? "A Heavenly Book, containing no content. Previously, I tried various methods to read what was written inside, but no matter how I tried, I couldn’t see clearly." Mr. Nangong sighed, "This ancient book has been with the Nangong Family for a hundred years, and there have constantly been attempts to steal it. Now, it’s even costing lives." Chu Ge sneered, "Previously, the rules of Ancient Martial Arts declared that no matter what happened, ancient martial arts could not be used against ordinary people. But now, the Black Widow has no limits; they’re people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals." Mr. Nangong sighed, "Then what should we do now? If they came once, they’ll surely come again!" Chu Ge was well aware of this, but he had no clear solution for now. Chu Ge thought of something and turned to Xia Tian, asking, "Earlier, you mentioned that they plan to target various families, what did you mean?" Could other families also possess something like the ancient book? Xia Tian slightly nodded, "I don’t know much about the other families, but I know both the Nangong Family and Yuwen Family have a House Treasure. I just didn’t expect the Nangong Family’s treasure to be an ancient book." Chu Ge looked at Xia Tian in surprise, "Then what is the House Treasure of the Yuwen Family?"
