Liu Yingze shook his head slowly and replied: "Many things are a long story. I can only say that our group 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 carry out our work in secret."
"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 Feng was led by Li Mang through Nuo Da's Nangong family manor and into the courtyard at the back.
This made Lu Feng 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, waves of refreshing fragrance of tea slowly wafted in.
Nangong Hongyi, on the other hand, was practicing a set of boxing skills at the side, which seemed to be 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 Feng and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, how do you like this set of punches?"
"Mr. Nangong is energetic and strong, and he has mastered the essence of Xingyiquan, which makes Lu Yu admire him." Lu Feng 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 Feng.
In his heart, he looked at Lu Feng again.
Lu Feng could tell at a glance that he was practicing Xingyiquan, and his eyesight was really good.
"Mr. Nangong, you're welcome." Lu Feng 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 Feng, he felt somewhat uneasy.
"It's okay, don't worry too much, go out." Nangong Hongyi waved his hand slightly.
In fact, if Lu Feng 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 Feng.
After Lu Feng 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 Feng smiled slightly.
Nangong Hongyi nodded, feeling very satisfied. It would be great if Lu Feng could understand the efforts of his 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 Feng stopped discussing this topic, took a sip of tea slowly, and asked: "I heard that the Nangong family is prosperous, why..."
Just now, Lu Feng met many servants of the Nangong family along the way, 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 Feng and immediately replied truthfully.
Lu Feng nodded slightly and continued to sip the tea lightly, but did not ask any more questions.
Nangong Hongyi originally waited for Lu Feng to take the initiative to ask what the grand event was, but Lu Feng had no intention of asking, leaving Nangong Hongyi speechless.
When facing Lu Feng, he felt like facing an unfathomable old fox.
Nangong Hongyi simply stopped hiding it and directly told Lu Feng in detail about the Haidong City Warriors Competition.
After Lu Feng heard this, he just drank tea quietly and remained silent for two minutes before slowly speaking.
"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 Feng'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 in tone, 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 Feng about the Nangong family's family affairs.
After all, such a big family loves face very much.
Lu Feng tapped his 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 Feng 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 gathering 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 Feng 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 you will get are 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!"
