Chapter 451: Chapter 451 - So What About the Nangong Family?_1

Nangong Luo and Nangong Hai were engrossed in Mo Shaoyun’s beauty, fantasizing about impure and discordant scenes.

Suddenly, a loud outburst broke their fantasies, to their great displeasure.

In their eyes, as young masters of the Nangong Family, one of the Five Great Families, they were superior to ordinary people, who to them seemed like mere toddlers learning to walk.

Yet, they had merely gazed at a beauty a few times longer, and someone dared to voice disapproval, undoubtedly a challenge to their prestige.

With a cold snort, Nangong Luo turned his head and asked, "You have an opinion?"

"How happy will you be if I stare at your wife?"

Zhang Xian, sitting in the living room, heard their conversation outside word for word. Knowing these two fellows had no love for Nangong Wu, he did not bother to put on a kind expression, "I’ve seen stupid behavior, but never as stupid as you two. I’m sitting right here, while you harbor impure thoughts about my wife, doesn’t this provoke me, as a man?"

"Kid, are you provoking us?" Nangong Luo’s face darkened instantly.

While the Mo family held some status in Beijing, they were nothing to the Nangong family. Did this fellow have the audacity to disregard them?

Zhang Xian scorned and paid it no mind.

"Trash is always trash."

Nangong Hai disdainfully said, "Maybe, you think with the backing of the Mo family, you can act with impunity. However, in front of our Nangong Family, the Mo family amounts to nothing more than a child’s plaything."

"Can you two shut up?" Nangong Wenhuo asked with a cold face.

Nangong Luo snorted, "Little Uncle, didn’t you see how that guy just now looked down on us? Are you expecting us to suffer in silence?"

"Exactly..." Nangong Hai also chimed in, "Even a mere jester dares to act haughty in front of us, the Nangong Family. Once this gets out, how will the Nangong family save face?"

"You guys..." Nangong Wenhuo was somewhat annoyed.

However, his status within the family wasn’t very high and therefore he couldn’t hold these two, Nangong Luo and Nangong Hai, in check.

For instance, during the recent ambiguous situation, the two did not give him the slightest face, even though he was their uncle.

"Little Uncle, shouldn’t we focus on the main issue? Don’t forget why we are here."

Nangong Hai suddenly said, "We can only linger here for two days, and one has already passed. I don’t have so much time to waste on such a minor issue here."

"Alright!"

Nangong Wenhuo took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Meng, Uncle San is here to tell you something. A few days ago, Ximen Chuifeng of the Ximen Family suddenly proposed to our Nangong family to take you as his wife. The Family Head has also agreed to this marriage proposal. Now, isn’t it convenient for you to join me to visit home? After all, that place still counts as your home!"

"What? I’ve been betrothed to Ximen Chuifeng?" Nangong Wu widened her eyes.

Zhang Xian, Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, Li Peichi were also somewhat surprised. So now Nangong Wu was Ximen Chuifeng’s fiancée?

Nangong Wenhuo nodded, "Yes! The Family Head has agreed."

"Hehe..."

Nangong Wu chuckled and said, "Third Uncle, you can leave! As for the so-called Family Head, he is just a joke in my eyes. He even dares to decide my life’s important matters."

"Nangong Meng, what do you mean by what you just said? Have the audacity to say it again.", Nangong Hai was livid.

The Family Head Nangong Wu was referring to was indeed his father. How dare this woman, who belonged to the Nangong family, openly challenge the authority of the Family Head. Was she courting death?

The term Family Head, as the name implies, is the head of a family. Could he tolerate being despised by his own family members?

"So what if I say it again?"

Nangong Wu didn’t back down, "I have left the Nangong Family many years ago, I am no longer a member of the family, why should he make decisions for me? To put it bluntly, who does he consider himself to be?"

"How dare you..."

Nangong Hai’s mouth twitched unnaturally several times, and then he abruptly threw a palm strike at Nangong Wu.

"Hmph..."

Nangong Wu stood where she was, not moving an inch.

Although her martial arts skills were only skin deep and far less superior than a master like Nangong Hai, what could he do to her while she had a freakish presence standing beside her?

Her audacity was due in part to having the super martial artist, Zhang Xian, by her side.

"What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Xian grabbed Nangong Hai’s arm and asked coldly, "Are you trying to cause trouble here? Do you think this is your Nangong family’s territory?"

"Er..." Nangong Hai wanted to switch tactics to teach this presumptuous little guy a lesson.

But after a few unsuccessful attempts to withdraw his arm, his face changed drastically. How could this guy’s strength be so great? Even though he wasn’t a Post-Acquired Peak martial artist, he was considered skilled among his peers. Considering the age, it seemed that this little guy in front of him was one or two years younger, yet he was unable to break free from his grasp. What was going on?

Nangong Luo and Nangong Wenhuo were also somewhat surprised. Was this person in front of them a martial artist?

However, the former chuckled coldly soon after.

Even if he was a martial artist, how would he be compared to ancient martial artists like them? Besides, they had the whole Nangong family backing them.

To the ordinary person, their Nangong family would be an enormous entity.

"Let go of me..." After several futile attempts to break free, Nangong Hai gritted his teeth and demanded.

"I advise you not to be too arrogant." Zhang Xian suddenly let go of his grip.

Caught off guard by Zhang Xian’s sudden release while he was still struggling, Nangong Hai collapsed onto the floor due to the excess force applied, looking rather awkward.

With a quick bound off the floor, he launched at Zhang Xian again, his face beat red, obviously eager to save face.

"Ignorant fool."

Upon seeing Nangong Hai dare to challenge him again, Zhang Xian immediately delivered a slap.

"Smack..."

Nangong Hai was just about to subdue Zhang Xian, to wash away the disgrace earlier and let this youngster understand the strength of an Ancient Martial Arts Practitioner and the vast disparity between them.

However, he had barely moved before he was slapped away, his body flying off like a cannonball, scattering nearly half his teeth.

"Cough ... cough ..." Nangong Hai coughed up a few bloodied teeth, his face showing shock.

What just happened? Hadn’t he been about to take down the guy in front of him? How could he have been blasted away by such tremendous force? Impossible!

"Um ..."

Nangong Wenhuo and Nangong Luo were shocked once again.

Previously, they assumed Zhang Xian was just an average Martial Artist. Compared to them, Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners, he was not in the same league.

Without personally experiencing it, they did not understand Nangong Hai’s predicament and thought he was firmly in control of the situation. Nangong Wenhuo had even planned to intervene and save Zhang Xian.

What was that scene just now? Why did Nangong Hai get flung backward? It seemed like the young man in front of him didn’t move, right?

"The Nangong family might appear impressive to others, but in my eyes, you are nothing but trash."

Zhang Xian coldly looked at Nangong Hai and said, "Now, you three better leave quickly. If I have to take action, it won’t be as easy for you to leave."

"You..."

Nangong Luo glared fiercely, pointing at Zhang Xian and angrily said, "Kid, how dare you hit people?"

"Why wouldn’t I?"

Zhang Xian responded, "Are you hard of hearing or something? Didn’t I just say it? In my eyes, the Nangong family is just trash."

"You..."

Nangong Luo was so angry he couldn’t speak. Their Nangong family was one of the Five Great Families of Huaxia; when had they ever been despised like this?

However, they did nothing. The situation was freakish, and he still didn’t understand how Nangong Hai had lost.

"Ah! I’m going to kill you."

Nangong Hai once again sprang towards Zhang Xian, his face distorted with rage.

He, the future Family Head of the Nangong family, had been slapped away by a nobody. He couldn’t swallow this insult. He had to save face by defeating the youngster in front of him.

"Looking for a slap...."

Enraged, Zhang Xian launched himself at Nangong Hai, landing punches.

Doing it once or twice was tolerable. For the sake of Nangong Wu, he had held back. But repeatedly looking to be slapped, did he think Zhang Xian wouldn’t retaliate?

Just a Post Acquired Peak Martial Artist, nothing more than ants in his eyes, could be exterminated with a casual wave of his hand.

"Smack... Smack..." The sound of slaps echoed in the air.

Zhang Xian grabbed Nangong Hai, delivering slap after slap, without the slightest politeness, squarely on Nangong Hai’s face.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream rang through the air.

At the hands of Zhang Xian, Nangong Hai was powerless to resist.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Nangong Wenhuo rushed forward, intending to stop Zhang Xian.

His primary purpose for this visit was not to congratulate Liu Changfeng on his birthday, but mainly to announce Nangong Meng’s engagement.

If Nangong Hai got beaten up for such a minor matter, he wouldn’t be able to explain it back home. Although he knew the two had come to monitor him, he couldn’t just stand by and watch.

"Do you want to get beaten too?" Zhang Xian’s gaze turned icy as he prepared to strike.

At this moment, Nangong Wu suddenly shouted, "Zhang Xian, don’t hit my third uncle, please don’t..."

"Uh..."

Zhang Xian swiftly sidestepped, not only dodging Nangong Wenhuo’s attack but also pulling back the punch aimed at him.

"Phew, that was close..."

Nangong Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nangong Wenhuo wasn’t injured. "Zhang Xian, he is my third uncle, you can’t hurt him."

"Alright! I’ll give you face." Zhang Xian didn’t attack again.

Since Nangong Wu insisted she no longer belonged to the Nangong family, but still referred to Nangong Wenhuo as her third uncle, it was obvious that he was quite decent to Nangong Wu.

"You..."

Nangong Hai, having received several slaps from Zhang Xian, looked like a pig’s head.

At this moment, even if he wanted to retaliate, he was physically unable to do so. His whole body felt light-headed and heavy-footed, and he couldn’t get up after falling to the ground.

"How is this possible?" Nangong Luo was dumbfounded.

Although his skills were not great, they weren’t at rock bottom. At this point, he was almost at the Post Acquired Peak level.

What was up with the guy in front of him? How could he be completely suppressed by a youngster of this age? Could it be possible that this guy is an Innate? That would be too crazy!
