Hearing this, Zhao Yunfu could not help but be stunned. No matter what he did after coming to the Bright Curse Realm, he was very cautious. He did not even contact that person in private.
It could be said that Zhao Yunfu's image in the Bright Curse Realm was dedicated to Nangong Cheng. Although his actions were a little extreme at times, it was all for Nangong Cheng. It was a flaw in his character.
But how did City Lord Nangong know about this? Or was it that some things had been exposed?
Suddenly, Zhao Yunfu's gaze fell on the senior brother and sister named Chen Minghao. Their appearance here was rather abrupt. Therefore, City Lord Nangong's sudden suspicion was probably related to them.
Zhao Yunfu smiled bitterly and said, "Before coming to the Bright Curse Realm, Zhang Xuanzhi and I had indeed traveled to some places together."
NanGong Yu also saw the slight change in Zhao Yunfu's expression. The smile at the corner of her mouth was more or less playful. This guy seemed to be more than stubborn.
However, there were some things that could not be said too early. Otherwise, it would be meaningless.
"City Lord, you should be careful of those old friends that you haven't seen for a long time. When they met, they were indeed sincere. However, as time passed, who knows if they suddenly appeared with ulterior motives." Zhao Yunfu said lightly.
At this time, Zhao Yunfu still wanted to bite back. At the same time, he looked at the senior brother and sister pair with disgust.
These two guys were really good at stirring up trouble. However, with just a few words, they wanted to make his position in the City Lord's heart fall to rock bottom? If that was the case, it was a little too whimsical.
It was impossible. It could only be said that it was a fantasy!
With just a few words, they wanted to change the situation. Was that possible? There were some things that couldn't be changed!
If Xiao Yang's origin was really like that, NanGong Yu would naturally be suspicious. However, that was not the reason. Therefore, he could not help but take another look at Zhao Yunfu.
This guy was not simple. However, it seemed that it was not possible to get hold of his weakness.
Xiao Yang, on the other hand, pretended to be ignorant. It was as if he was not affected by Zhao Yunfu's words.
Zhao Yunfu had been observing the expressions of the senior brother and junior sister the entire time. When he saw that they didn't seem to care, his heart sank even more.
If this information was not passed to NanGong Yu by these two people, who else could it be?
For a moment, Zhao Yunbu was in a bit of a dilemma. Right now, he really couldn't tell who was stabbing him in the back. If he couldn't find the source, then it would be too uncomfortable.
This was akin to not knowing who he was fighting with. He was always in a passive position, and he did not know how to deal with it.
"Brother Zhao is right. This City Lord will take note of that." As NanGong Yu spoke, she was full of smiles as she looked at Zhao Yunbu.
It was as if his eyes could see through everything. No matter what happened, nothing could escape his eyes.
Being stared at like this, Zhao Yunfu felt his hair stand on end, as if something had been exposed.
It was just that the City Lord didn't want to make a big fuss out of their old friendship and gave him a chance to come clean.
Taking the lead and not saying anything after that was the most unbearable thing to do.
This was because he didn't know how much information the other party had and how he should mediate. Only then could he make his situation safer.
At this moment, Zhao Yunfu was gnashing his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
"City Lord, have you investigated the origins of these two Fellow Daoists?" Zhao Yunfu asked with a smile.
Since he didn't know who his opponent was, he might as well change the topic. Perhaps he could even divert the other party's attention.
Xiao Yang was still smiling and didn't say anything. Even if the other party brazenly poured water on him, he wouldn't be afraid.
NanGong Yu nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry. I know the origins of these two people."
This left Zhao Yunfu speechless. He knew that if he continued to insist, it would appear as if he had a guilty conscience. If he continued to speak, it would more or less seem like he was quibbling.
Although Xiao Man was a bit angry, she didn't act out.
She had learned to not show her emotions. This was something she had learned very well. Moreover, at this juncture, without her young master's permission, she naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
"City Lord, it's not strange that Elder Zhao and Zhang Xuanzhi are old friends. We can't criticize him just because he's against Ximen City, right? "Nangong Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and said.
NanGong Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Xiao 'er is right. However, I'm wondering if we can use this relationship to ease the relationship between Ximen City and us."
Nangong Xiao nodded. If that was the case, it would work.
Although they were like fire and water with Ximen City, Nangong City was unavoidably weaker compared to them.
Moreover, it wasn't a good idea to continue this stalemate.
"Although I'm old friends with Zhang Xuanzhi, that was hundreds of years ago. It's not possible to use this to change the relationship between the two cities," Zhao Yunfu said.
Regarding this, NanGong Yu naturally didn't have much hope.
After all, the other party's butcher's knife was almost on his neck. Wasn't it nonsense to want to reconcile with them?
"There's something that I was muddle-headed about and didn't listen to Brother Zhao's advice. Therefore, I had no choice but to admit defeat." As NanGong Yu said this, she took a sip of wine and appeared very melancholic.
Hearing this, Xiao Yang frowned. He also felt that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yunfu was also a little confused.
NanGong Yu seemed to have an infinitely melancholic matter. She was very hesitant and looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
His actions made him even more unable to understand what he was thinking.
"City Lord, what's the matter that's making you so conflicted?" Nangong Xiao asked anxiously.
Everyone was also very curious and wanted to know what was going on.
NanGong Yu was conflicted for a long time before she slowly said, "That Xiao Yang is indeed a liar. I don't know what method he used to deceive us all. The Heart Devouring Cicada was not taken out and is still in my heart. It's also because of this that I want to ease the relationship. "
In that instant, everyone looked at NanGong Yu in a daze.
They thought that after the City Lord's poison was removed, under his leadership, Nangong City would rise step by step and return to its former glory.
But that was fake?
Everyone looked on in disbelief. How was this possible?
Xiao Yang smiled but didn't say anything. This hook was a little too straight!
Zhao Yunfu suddenly raised his head and looked at NanGong Yu. His brows were tightly knitted and his eyes were filled with shock.
As expected, the Heart Devouring Cicada was not so easily taken out!
