"Isn't your problem that mysterious and strange flower?"
Ling Xian didn't look like he was smiling as he teasingly stared at the man before him.
Instantly, Nan Gong Ru frowned and grinned, "I bet Master Xian has heard of the rumors. That's why you made this guess."
"That's right. Am I wrong?" Ling Xian revealed a confident smile, "Since you said you need me to complete one task before you agree to the alliance, then I don't think anything is more difficult for me than this."
"I …"
Nan Gong Ru frowned. He truly wanted to use this to make Ling Xian give up on the alliance. But he also wanted Ling Xian to solve this problem. However, looking at the confident young man before him, he didn't want to lose the first battle. He smiled, "Master Xian, you are far too confident. A guess is just a guess, it may not be the truth."
"Is that so?"
Ling Xian sipped on his tea and grinned, "Then let's just say I am wrong. But I have to tell you something. I am 50% confident that I can solve the secret of the flower."
At that moment, Nan Gong Ru's right hand shook and a few drops of tea spilled out. It was obvious how unsettled he was. However, he was the leader of a Clan after all. Though his heart was in turmoil, he pretended to be calm and didn't want to lose the first battle.
Therefore, even though Ling Xian was right, he didn't want to admit it in a way that was seen through. He smiled, "Master Xian, you are far too confident. I even think you are very arrogant."
"It doesn't matter if you're confident or conceited. Whatever you think."
Sensing Nan Gong Ru's shock, Ling Xian softly chuckled. He knew what this person was planning. However, he had to win the first battle. Therefore, he chose to play hard to get.
"Based on what Leader Nan Gong is saying, I must have guessed wrong. Then I will leave now."
Then, he stood up and pretended to leave.
However, just as he turned around, the corners of his mouth curled into a confident smile as he silently calculated the time in his heart.
"One."
Ling Xian counted silently. Every time he counted, he would take a step forward.
After he took three steps, Nan Gong Ru couldn't hold it in anymore. He sighed helplessly, "Master Xian, please go back. You have won."
"Do you think I'll listen to you just because you want me to?"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, knowing that he had won this battle. He said, "Leader Nan Gong, I have 50% confidence that I can solve the Nan Gong Clan's thousand-year problem. You better be clear about one thing. It's not that I am in a hurry to help you, it's that you are begging me to help you."
At those words, Nan Gong Ru frowned, a little displeased. However, the mysterious flower had troubled the Nan Gong Clan for thousands of years. Even though he didn't believe that Ling Xian could solve it, even if there was only a sliver of hope, he could not let it go.
"Sigh …"
After a long sigh, Nan Gong Ru smiled wryly, "Master Xian, I was wrong just now. Please, for the sake of our alliance, help me out."
"That's more like it." Ling Xian nodded in satisfaction and sat back down on the chair. He smiled, "Leader Nan Gong, the rumors are mostly false. Please tell me the details."
At the mention of this, Nan Gong Ru's face flashed with pain. He sighed, "Aye, I won't lie to you. That strange flower has troubled the Nan Gong Clan for thousands of years. Ever since our ancestor disappeared, the flower has turned into a curse that has been planted on everyone in the Nan Gong Clan. "
"A curse?" Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
In the Taoism community, the most difficult problem to solve was without a doubt, curses. This kind of thing was quite troublesome. Even the most powerful people in the Immortal Cultivation World could not break it with brute force. They had to find a special method.
Especially a curse that can make powerhouses disappear, it must be extremely powerful. To solve it is as difficult as climbing up to the sky. Luckily, this curse was deeply related to the flower. As long as it was related to the plant, Ling Xian would be able to learn some useful information.
"That's right, it is a curse."
Nan Gong Ru's face was full of pain and fear. He said bitterly, "Every time someone breaks through to the original level or their lifespan reaches 300 years, they will die instantly. Because of this curse, the Nan Gong Clan has no original leveled cultivators and no cultivators over 300 years old. "
"It's that dominating?"
Ling Xian frowned. He didn't think this curse would be so strange and terrifying than he imagined.
"Yes, it is that terrifying." Nan Gong Ru sighed deeply. Remembering how his elders died, he fell into a deep state of fear.
Sensing Nan Gong Ru's fear, Ling Xian felt even more troubled. To be able to make a completion leveled cultivator this scared, it wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying the curse was.
But since he was already here, he cannot retreat. He comforted, "Leader Nan Gong, do not worry. Even though I am not 100% confident, I am at least 50% confident."
Nan Gong Ru's eyes exploded with light. But when he remembered how difficult the curse was, his eyes dimmed, "Aye, forgive me, Master Xian. It's not that I don't believe you, it's that the curse is far too difficult to deal with."
"It's been so many years and the Nan Gong Clan has tried countless methods. But the result has been disappointment time and time again. Not to mention breaking the curse, no one can even recognize that mysterious flower. "
Nan Gong Ru sighed deeply. Though Ling Xian's words made him see hope, he has been disappointed far too many times. He didn't dare to hope anymore.
"I understand."
Ling Xian nodded softly, understanding Nan Gong Ru's complicated mentality. Therefore, he didn't say much and merely smiled, "No matter what, you have to let me try. What if I am lucky enough to solve the curse? Wouldn't that be great?"
"Master Xian, if you can really break this curse, then the alliance aside, the Nan Gong Clan will do anything for you!"
Nan Gong Ru's expression was serious and his words were powerful and powerful.
"Leader Nan Gong, you are being too serious. As long as you agree to the alliance." Ling Xian grinned, his confidence lit up the universe.
Sensing Ling Xian's confidence, Nan Gong Ru was not happy. Instead, he softly sighed.
Throughout the years, countless talents have come to the Nan Gong Clan. At first, everyone was full of confidence, as if they could solve the curse with a wave of their hand.
However, in the end, everyone in the Nangong Family was disappointed again and again. Therefore, he didn't dare to have high hopes anymore.
Seeing this, Ling Xian shook his head. He didn't say anything to make Nan Gong Ru believe him.
Faced with this situation, there was no need to say much. All he needed to do was bring out the truth!
"Chief Nangong, please take me to see that flower."
Grinning, Ling Xian's eyes were full of anticipation, "I sure want to see what kind of strange flower it is to kill powerhouses of the Nan Gong Clan."
