As old man Nangong recovered from his serious injury and now successfully broke through to the innate realm, the entire Nangong family fell into a state of joy.
From the expressions, eyebrows, and tone of words of everyone in the manor, we can feel everyone's joy and a slightly excited and uplifting mood.
As Nangong Weiwei came over personally to invite Xia Haoran, Old Nangong and others out for dinner, Xia Haoran hugged Xiaobai and followed everyone to the front hall to eat.
There are not many main members of the Nangong family, just a little more than one table, so they all sit around the same table. It is very common for more than a dozen people to sit down at a large rectangular dining table.
It will feel crowded.
Of course, with the great hero Xia Haoran present, the atmosphere at the dinner table was naturally a little more solemn and less casual than usual.
It was rare that the old man recovered, and almost all direct descendants of the Nangong family were present. Nangong Ao mainly introduced his two sons, Nangong Feng and Nangong Yun, to Xia Haoran. As for the other seven aunts, eight aunts and their descendants, it was really
There are too many, so I won’t introduce them one by one.
"Xia Haoran? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
After Nangong Ao introduced the mysterious guest Xia Haoran to everyone, there were several juniors who were similar to Xia Haoran and whispered to each other. Even Nangong Weiwei felt the same way at this time.
After a while, a girl stood up with a blushing face and said excitedly: "Xia Haoran, I know, the national science champion who scored 750 points in the college entrance examination this year is Xia Haoran."
Xia Haoran touched his nose. What a mistake. He was recognized. So he nodded slowly and said, "If there are no mistakes, the top scorer in the college entrance examination is just a mere failure."
Suddenly, Xia Haoran attracted a new round of focus and attention from everyone.
Everyone here, including old man Nangong, was deeply grateful and respectful to Xia Haoran. Because they knew very well what it meant for an ancient martial arts family like theirs to have a great monk in the innate realm.
During the banquet, Xia Haoran and Xiaobai started a new round of food-grabbing battle, which made everyone present feel frightened. As for the toasts from these people, Xia Haoran would not refuse anyone who came. As long as someone raised their glasses
, he would pick up the wine glass, and every time he would take a clean sip. After drinking dozens of glasses of white wine, his face would not turn red, and his heart would not beat, as if nothing had happened.
After the meal, several people returned to the hall.
Unknowingly, in the evening, Xia Haoran has been talking to old man Nangong and Nangong Ao, intentionally or unintentionally getting some useful information for him from their mouths. Nangong Weiwei has been waiting beside him, giving him a few words from time to time.
People make tea and pour tea.
Several times during the process, Xia Haoran saw Nangong Ao hesitate to speak, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. So he asked: "Uncle Nangong, if you have something to say, just tell me."
Nangong Ao scratched his head when he heard this, his old face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Well, Mr. Xia, you cured my father and did a big favor to our Nangong family. Don't you know the medical fee?"
Xia Haoran waved his hand and said: "Uncle, you can call me Haoran, or Xiaoxia. This 'Mr.
Yes! I have said that I care about fate when I treat people. No matter how much money I pay for some people, I may not be willing to do it; for some people, I will do my best to save them even if I don’t take any money. Being able to treat Mr. Nangong is all about seeing him.
For Slug's sake, it was her behavior that completely touched my compassion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here."
"Ah? This, this... Then I won't be pretentious anymore. As long as Mr. Xia speaks from now on, our Nangong family will definitely do our best!" Nangong Ao said seriously.
"Okay! Uncle Nangong is interested. If I need anything in the future, I will definitely come to bother you, as long as Uncle Nangong doesn't mind my running around too often." Xia Haoran said with a happy smile.
"That's good! By the way, I just heard from Mr. Xia that he had to do one more thing when he came to the capital. I wonder what it is? After all, our Nangong family still has some power in the capital." Nangong Ao said.
"Well, thank you! As for my coming to the capital this time, it's not a big deal. I will be coming to the capital to study in a few days. I came here early this time just to find a place to stay near the school, haha." Xia Haoran
Said casually.
"This matter," Nangong Ao couldn't help but was stunned. He didn't expect that Xia Haoran was talking about this matter, so he turned to Nangong Yun next to him and said: "Second brother, I remember that there are several people in the family over there in the university town.
There is an unused villa. Tomorrow you will take Mr. Xia there to have a look. You should know what to do next, right?"
"Yes, I understand, Dad!" Nangong Yun replied.
At the dinner table just now, Xia Haoran already knew that Nangong Ao and his eldest son Nangong Feng were both serving in the army, and that the second son Nangong Yun was in business and was a business wizard! He was also famous in the industry for a long time and was quite successful.
"Ah? Uncle Nangong, you can't do this! How can I be embarrassed that you are so polite? Besides, this junior can't bear it, so I deserve it!" Xia Haoran said with some embarrassment. Of course, these are all
It's just rhetoric.
"It's completely affordable! Maybe in Mr. Xia's eyes, a cultivator in the innate realm is nothing, but in all aristocratic families, the value is not measured by money. I am lucky to get Mr. Xia's help this time.
You have helped me survive the catastrophe and successfully break through to the innate realm. You have helped our Nangong family a lot, and you are a great benefactor to our entire family!" Old Man Nangong also interrupted and said respectfully.
"Oh? What? Among all the aristocratic families, there are very few monks in the innate realm?" Xia Haoran also became interested.
"As far as I know so far, there are very few people in the entire family who have reached the level of innateness."
"What about the sect?"
"The situation in the sect may be slightly better than that of the aristocratic family, but according to my estimation, the number of monks who can break through to the innate realm is only a handful."
"Well, it turns out it's so rare..."
"So, Mr. Xia has done a big favor to our Nangong family this time."
"Okay! If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" Xia Haoran stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, and the old man, you can just call me Xiaoxia or Haoran from now on, otherwise you will not be called 'senior' or 'sir'
Something like that, it sounds really awkward!”
"Well, okay!" Everyone laughed.
The group chatted for a while, and Xia Haoran found an excuse to take a rest.
