Liu Yingze shook his head slowly and replied: "Many things are a long story. I can only say that our group of people cannot show up easily until the last moment. What happened to you was an accident."
"We have been developing in hidden places without even a signal, just to do it secretly."
"Only by being completely isolated from the outside world can we be truly foolproof."
"Let's talk about these things over a drink when we get back to Jiangnan City."
Liu Yingze simply explained a few sentences and did not go into details.
"Okay!" Long Haoxuan nodded heavily.
…
Haidong City, Nangong Family.
Lu Yu was led by Li Mang all the way through the Nangong family manor in Nuo Da and came to the courtyard at the back.
This made Lu Yu a little helpless. These old men seemed to like to sit in a remote environment at the back.
All the people he knew, including Mr. Lu, liked this.
As soon as I stepped into the backyard of the manor, bursts of refreshing fragrance of tea slowly wafted in.
Nangong Hongyi, on the other hand, was practicing a set of boxing skills beside him, which looked like he was very powerful.
Although he is over sixty years old, Nangong Hongyi does not look old at all at this time, looking energetic and full of aura.
People who practice martial arts regularly will indeed look younger physically.
After Nangong Hongyi finished a set of punches, he slowly stopped his hands and stood up. He took a long breath, turned to look at Lu Yu and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, how do you like this set of punches?"
"Mr. Nangong has a strong spirit and a strong body. He has mastered the essence of Xingyiquan, which makes Lu Yu admire him." Lu Yu nodded slowly and smiled.
"Hahaha! I don't like being flattered the most, but these words come from your mouth, and I think they are very pleasant to hear."
"Please, Mr. Lu, the fragrant tea is ready." Nangong Hongyi smiled heartily and made a gesture to Lu Yu.
In his heart, he took another high look at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu could tell at a glance that he practiced Xingyiquan, and his eyesight was really good.
"Mr. Nangong, you're welcome." Lu Yu was also polite and immediately sat down at the tea table made of sandalwood.
"Li Mang, please go out first. Mr. Lu and I will sit alone and we can't be disturbed by others." Nangong Hongyi looked at Li Mang again.
"Old man, this..." Li Mang hesitated.
He is responsible for Mr. Nangong's safety and rarely leaves Mr. Nangong's side.
Now that Mr. Nangong was left alone with Lu Yu, he felt somewhat uneasy.
"It's okay, don't worry too much, go out." Nangong Hongyi waved his hand slightly.
In fact, if Lu Yu really wanted to take action against Nangong Hongyi, how could Li Mang stop him?
"Okay!" Li Mang nodded, then bowed to leave and gently closed the courtyard door.
"Mr. Lu, you're welcome, how about you try this tea." Nangong Hongyi then turned around and sat opposite Lu Yu.
After Lu Yu took a sip of tea, Nangong Hongyi smiled again and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, for ascending to the position of underground king of Haidong City!"
"Mr. Nangong is so polite. This is inseparable from the help of the Nangong family." Lu Yu smiled slightly.
Nangong Hongyi nodded, feeling very satisfied in his heart. It would be great if Lu Yu could understand the efforts of their Nangong family.
"Even without the help of the Nangong family, true dragons like Mr. Lu will eventually achieve unification." Nangong Hongyi said from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Yu stopped discussing this topic, took a sip of tea slowly, and asked: "I heard that the Nangong family is prosperous, why..."
Lu Yu met many servants of the Nangong family along the way just now, but he rarely saw people from the Nangong family.
"There is a grand event that needs to be held in Haidong City recently, so I asked them to go back and prepare."
Nangong Hongyi did not hide anything from Lu Yu and immediately replied truthfully.
Lu Yu nodded slightly and continued to sip the tea lightly, but didn't ask any more questions.
Nangong Hongyi originally waited for Lu Yu to take the initiative to ask what the grand event was, but Lu Yu had no intention of asking, leaving Nangong Hongyi speechless.
When facing Lu Yu, he felt like facing an unfathomable old fox.
Nangong Hongyi simply stopped hiding it and directly told Lu Yu in detail about the Haidong City Warriors Competition.
After Lu Yu heard this, he just drank tea quietly and remained silent for two minutes before speaking slowly.
"Mr. Nangong is saying that all martial arts families in Haidong City must participate?"
Nangong Hongyi nodded and said: "Of course, the person who wins the first place in the warrior competition is the recognized overlord of Haidong City's warrior circle!"
"The birth of an overlord must naturally be witnessed by all warriors, and no one can be absent for any reason."
Several thoughts flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and then he asked: "Do you want me to represent the Nangong family to participate in the Warriors Competition?"
Nangong Hongyi blushed when he heard this, coughed slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, the Nangong family has gradually declined in Ling Yue's generation, and the children of the family are no longer useful."
"Today's young people are too impetuous and have too many external temptations to calm down and practice martial arts."
"This girl Ling Yue is studious, but after all, she is just a girl. Whether it is her physical condition or other aspects, she is not that suitable."
"So I would like to ask Mr. Lu to participate in the Warriors Competition on behalf of our Nangong family."
Nangong Hongyi's words were extremely sincere, and his attitude also had a hint of pleading.
Family scandals should not be made public. It was extremely difficult for Nangong Hongyi to tell Lu Yu about the Nangong family's family affairs.
After all, such a big family loves face very much.
Lu Yu tapped her fingers on the table and pondered for nearly two minutes before saying, "I may not have that much time."
"Mr. Lu, it will only take two or three days at most. It won't take long at all."
"More importantly, this warrior competition is definitely the largest event among the top circles in Haidong City. If Mr. Lu can gain a foothold there, he will be completely established in Haidong City!"
Lu Yu understood what Nangong Hongyi meant, but he still shook his head and said, "Mr. Nangong is right. I do have the idea of establishing a foothold in Haidong City."
"But, to Haidong City, I am just a passerby after all. I am accumulating strength because I have more important things to do."
"So, I am not prepared to stay in Haidong City for a long time."
Hearing what Lu Yu said, Nangong Hongyi narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of something, but didn't ask any more questions.
"I can guess some of Mr. Lu's thoughts. Is it right to accumulate strength for your use? But if this is the case, you should go to the Warriors Competition!"
"You only need to spend two or three days, and the rewards will be far greater than if you worked hard in Haidong City for a month."
"Being recognized in the Warriors Competition means that you are truly recognized by the entire Haidong City!"
