Although Xu Nan was young, she had lived in the streets since she was a child. What had she not seen? She was so frightened that she cried loudly, begging the other party to let her go. But the more she cried, the more interested the other party became. It was like a cat toying with a mouse, and he approached her step by step.
Xu Nan was in despair. She even thought of committing suicide!
It was also at that time that the old drunkard suddenly appeared. No one even knew how the old drunkard appeared. That powerful young man … did not notice him either! It was because of this and another matter that Xu Nan always believed that her father was not an ordinary person.
After the old drunkard appeared, he coughed a few times and said to the young man, "Young man, put away your evil thoughts. He is such a young child, why bother arguing with him?"
Xu Nan remembered very clearly that the young man was also very surprised by the old drunkard's appearance. He stared blankly at the old drunkard for a long time, then without saying anything, he cupped his fists and turned to leave.
After that, she never saw that young man again. She was afraid for a long time, but that young man never appeared again.
Another thing that made her think that her father was not ordinary was that after that incident, she went to visit her father and was scolded by him. He said that she did not learn well at such a young age and would be killed one day.
Brother Nan, who never cried, cried very miserably. She told her father about her experience, and then she saw a trace of pity in her father's cloudy eyes. Then, that night, Xu Nan, who was tired of crying, did not leave her father's shabby house.
When she woke up the next day, she found that she could enter a strange world.
Xu Nan always thought that it must be that thing that her father did.
Xu Nan only began to cultivate when she could enter that world. But because no one taught her, she did not dare to show any abnormalities in God of Illusion City. As a result, after three years, she only cultivated to the Innate Realm.
However, this was already a very impressive thing.
After that incident, the underground organization that lost its leader was in chaos for a period of time. There were a few people who wanted to sit in that position. Later, they were suppressed by the City Lord.
After that, the leader of the underground organization became Xu Nan.
In fact, Xu Nan knew that the reason why the City Lord let her sit in that position was because she was easier to control than others. He didn't have any desires or ambitions. He just wanted to take good care of his father and have his own food to eat.
Therefore, the twelve-year-old Xu Nan, the little bean sprout in Chu Mo's eyes, had already become a big shot in the Ninth City.
Even if it was a puppet, not everyone could become one.
In the past three years, whenever Xu Nan had the time, she would definitely come here to visit her father. Although her father had never been kind to her, she was still very determined.
No one knew how terrified and desperate she had been that summer three years ago in that dark and secluded alley. Her father's appearance was like a ray of sunlight that shone directly into her heart. Brother Nan, who had been an orphan since he was a child, felt a sense of kinship for the first time. She regarded this old drunkard as her father and called him daddy. She really wanted to be his daughter and take good care of him for the rest of her life.
"By the way, Dad, I met someone today," Xu Nan said.
The old drunkard leaned back in his chair and didn't say anything. His eyes were half-closed. But Xu Nan knew that he was listening.
"That person was very strange. I guess he must be very powerful!" Xu Nan didn't wait for her father's reply. She mumbled to herself, "I felt the same feeling I had three years ago from that person. He didn't do anything, but my subordinates all lost themselves and couldn't remember anything after they woke up. He waved his hand gently, and the entire street … even the flies in the air stopped moving! It was as if time had completely stopped. "
The old drunkard didn't respond as he sat there in a drunken state.
Xu Nan continued, "He asked me if I wanted to go cultivate with him. In order to prove that he was telling the truth, he made everyone on the street unable to move. He also knows about the Illusion God Realm. Hmm … he's just like the legendary cultivators in the Illusion God Realm. He's terrifying at first glance. "
The old drunkard's eyelids were drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Xu Nan let out a sigh, "I didn't dare to come into contact with anyone in the Illusion God Realm. In the Ninth City, apart from the City Lord, I've never seen any powerful cultivators. Except for that time three years ago … "
Xu Nan looked at the old drunkard and said, "Dad, aren't you a peerless powerhouse? Can you teach me how to cultivate? I, I also want to be like those powerful people. I want to be able to fly in the sky and dig into the ground. I want to have terrifying magical powers. "
At this time, the old drunkard suddenly mumbled, "And then?"
"And then …" Xu Nan probably didn't expect the old drunkard to suddenly respond. She suddenly became excited and started to fantasize, "And then … and then …"
"And then you'll unify the entire underground forces of the Ninth City. You won't be a puppet anymore. You'll even get rid of the City Lord and become the City Lord yourself. From now on, we can live happily ever after? "The old drunkard rambled on and on.
The more he spoke, the brighter Xu Nan's eyes became. However, the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. In the end, her face fell. She pouted and looked at the old drunkard, "Dad …"
She acted coquettishly. She wasn't stupid, so she naturally knew that the old drunkard was mocking her. She pouted and said, "Dad, isn't this good? Why do I have to be controlled by others? Why do I have to be someone else's puppet? Right now … on the surface, I'm the boss of the Ninth City's underground forces. Those Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm cultivators might seem like my underlings, but in reality, do any of them really care about me? They call me Brother Nan, but deep down, they all look down on me. "
Xu Nan said in a low voice, "I didn't have parents since I was young. I grew up in a garbage dump. I ate the food of hundreds of families and wore the clothes of hundreds of families. I've never touched those who helped me. Because I remember their kindness. I'm a girl, I want to wear dresses and dress myself up … But, what else can I do aside from doing these things? If I don't take that position, someone else will. But if that happens, it will return to how it was before. I don't want to go back to how it was before, and I don't want father to be implicated by me. Now that they know that I have someone to worry about, they're not worried about me … "
"Then why don't you go with that young man? To cultivate? Since you can tell that the young man is very powerful, you might have a bright future if you follow him. "The old drunkard said calmly," As for an old drunkard like me, who would care about me? What kind of danger would I be in? "
"I don't want to leave father." Xu Nan said in a soft voice while her eyes turned slightly red, "I know father doesn't like me to do this, and I don't want to either, but what else can I do?"
"The outside world is huge." The old drunkard said calmly while glancing at Xu Nan. His heart was slightly moved. The little girl's words just now had somewhat touched his heartstrings.
He grew up without parents, ate the food of hundreds of families and wore the clothes of hundreds of families … Although my son's life was not as miserable as yours, his experiences over the years were definitely not pleasant.
Having this thought, the old drunkard could not help but let out a long sigh. He waved his hand at Xu Nan and said, "I don't know any Immortal Arts, nor do I know anything about cultivation. Do whatever you want to do."
"Father …" Xu Nan dragged her tone. She knew that her father was trying to drive her away again.
"Go, don't waste your time in front of an old man like me." The old drunkard mumbled in a drunken manner, before he leaned against the chair and closed his eyes, before he began to snore.
"Well then, I'll visit you again in a few days." Xu Nan said and bowed at the old drunkard, before heading out of the house.
As she arrived at the entrance, Xu Nan instantly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She glared at the young man standing at the entrance and screamed, "What are you doing here? What, what do you want? I'm warning you … If you dare to threaten me, I, I'll kill myself in front of you! "
Chu Mo stared at the tomboy in front of him with a complicated expression. He did not eavesdrop on their conversation, and it was not a coincidence that he was here.
He had sent out a few clones to the taverns to gather information about the drunkards. There were quite a few drunkards in the Ninth City, at least a few hundred of them. However, the most famous one was the one in this shabby house.
During the process of gathering information, Chu Mo was surprised to find out that the tomboy who looked like a bean sprout was the famous "Brother Nan" of the Ninth City, who was the leader of the underground forces in the Ninth City!
Chu Mo's first reaction after hearing the news was that it was impossible.
How could a tomboy of the Xiantian Realm become the leader of a group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm cultivators?
However, based on the information, Chu Mo roughly deduced that this bean sprout was a puppet leader.
During the process, the owner of the tavern told Chu Mo about Brother Nan's "benefactor", the old drunkard.
"That old drunkard is lucky. How could a filthy old drunkard who looks like a beggar scare away a great cultivator? However, Brother Nan is loyal to his friends, so she insisted on treating him as her godfather. Heh, that old drunkard lives in a dilapidated house in the center of the city. Now, no one dares to touch him anymore. He's so lucky. "
Unlike the owner of the tavern, Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat after hearing the story. He could even infer the scene at that time with a high degree of accuracy!
An old drunkard, who was drunk all day long, suddenly appeared in front of a little girl of eight or nine years old when she was in trouble. The young cultivator with a relatively high cultivation was scared out of his wits. Although he said he had left, it was possible that he was scared out of his wits. It was still unknown if the young man was still alive.
According to the owner of the tavern, the young man had only spared Bean Sprout because of his conscience, as he did not want to harm a little girl.
However, Chu Mo was able to determine that the young man was absolutely frightened away at that time!
Otherwise, how could a great cultivator who could kill three people with a flick of his finger be merciful? Why would a cultivator who killed three people in an instant spare the lives of the tomboy and the old drunkard? This was bullsh * t!
Although Chu Mo did not know why the young man did not kill the tomboy, Bean Sprout, at that time, he could tell from the respect the tomboy had for the old drunkard and even recognized him as her godfather that she must have been extremely dangerous at that time!
Otherwise, how could a black-bellied tomboy who worked in an underground organization, used poison, stole, and had that kind of filial piety?
Therefore, at that moment, Chu Mo had a strong interest in the old drunkard. He even had a premonition that the old drunkard was the person that the Long family's ancestor had mentioned!
