On the way to the Dugu Family with Dugu Yun 'er, Dugu Yun' er was basically chattering away. She chatted with Ning Qi about the interesting things that happened when Nangong Lingfeng was still living in Yan Jing when he was a child. She even asked Ning Qi if he recognized her group of friends.
Those people had basically interacted with Nangong Lingfeng when he was young. They were his childhood playmates. However, from their expressions, it could be seen that Nangong Lingfeng had been bullied by them when he was young.
Ning Qi could see that Dugu Yun 'er was trying very hard to make him happy. He would occasionally reply with a few words, and then intentionally or unintentionally try to trick Dugu Yun' er into talking. When he arrived at the entrance of the Dugu Residence, he was already very relieved. When Nangong Xiaotian had been demoted, he had brought his entire family, including Nangong Lingfeng, out of Yanjing. After returning to their hometown in the Wuyang County, the Dugu Family and the Nangong Family no longer had any contact.
This might be because the current head of the Dugu Family, Dugu Mo, had taken Nangong Xiaotian's position. He had never seen Nangong Lingfeng's little aunt again.
In this way, he didn't have to worry about anyone from the Dugu Family discovering his identity.
"Cousin Lingfeng, we're here. You haven't been to Beijing for so many years, you probably don't remember this place, right?"
Dugu Yun 'er stood at the gate of the Dugu Family and smiled at Ning Qi.
"Indeed, I don't remember very clearly."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Dugu Yun 'er giggled and pulled Ning Qi inside.
When the guards at the gate saw this, their expressions were a little strange. They kept glancing at Ning Qi, but because of Dugu Yun 'er's identity, they didn't dare to stop them. They could only guess Ning Qi's identity curiously.
As soon as they entered the Dugu Family, Ning Qi and Dugu Yun 'er bumped into a group of people who were talking and laughing as they walked towards the gate. When they saw the two of them, they were obviously stunned.
Among this group of people, the leader was a tall and mighty middle-aged man. He had a square face and there was a hint of killing intent between his brows. Ning Qi looked at his attributes. As expected, he was the head of the Dugu Family, Dugu Yun 'er's father, Dugu Yun' er.
Beside Dugu Mo stood a beautiful middle-aged woman. At this moment, she was looking at Ning Qi with a look of shock, joy, and hesitation. Her expression was incomparably complicated.
This woman was Dugu Yun 'er's mother and Nangong Xiaotian's little sister, Nangong Qu Chan. Ning Qi had to call her aunt in his current identity.
Behind the two of them was a group of men, women, old and young. They were probably all from the Dugu Family. Other than them, there was another person who was looking at Ning Qi thoughtfully. This person was probably an esteemed guest of the Dugu Family. Otherwise, Dugu Mo and the rest wouldn't have sent him off personally.
"Father, Mother! Look who's here! This is cousin Ling Feng! "
Dugu Yun 'er pulled Ning Qi to the front of the crowd and said excitedly.
"Nangong Lingfeng?"
The expressions of the Dugu Family members weren't quite right. They looked at Ning Qi with a strange expression. Dugu Mo, on the other hand, had a straight face and was expressionless. His gaze landed on Ning Qi with a trace of scrutiny.
"Is it really Ling Feng?"
Nangong Qu Chan suddenly took a step forward and looked at Ning Qi emotionally. Ning Qi was much taller than her, so she had to raise her head in order to see Ning Qi's appearance clearly.
"Ling Feng greets aunt."
Ning Qi smiled and cupped his hands.
"It's really you! I didn't expect you to have grown so much after so many years! I almost couldn't recognize you! "
Nangong Qu Chan was so emotional that her eyes were a little red.
When Dugu Mo saw this, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He felt that Ning Qi's current expression didn't seem like someone whose family had just been annihilated.
However, he only nodded at Ning Qi and smiled at the middle-aged man who had been sizing Ning Qi up. "Brother Zhao, this is the son of Nangong Xiaotian, Nangong Lingfeng. This time, the entire Nangong Family was annihilated, and he was the only one who escaped."
When Nangong Qu Chan heard this, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes.
Dugu Mo looked at Ning Qi indifferently. "This is General Zhao. He is in charge of the case of the Nangong Family's annihilation. You came at the right time. Do you have any clues to report to him?"
Ning Qi was slightly stunned. What a coincidence. He had just arrived at the Dugu Family's residence, and he had already met the person in charge of the Nangong Family's annihilation. "You don't have to be afraid. We are in Beijing now. No matter how daring the culprits are, they won't dare to attack you in Beijing. If you know any secrets or clues, you can tell me. I will personally head to the Wuyang County to investigate the case. Otherwise, you can come with me.
With me around, no one can hurt you. "
General Zhao smiled at Ning Qi. Ning Qi laughed in his heart. This General Zhao's aura was much weaker than the leader of the Heng Mountain Bandits. In fact, he couldn't even compare to an ordinary Heng Mountain Bandits. Even if he was a Soul Devourer expert, he was at most a Second or Third Grade.
Either he really didn't know that there was a Soul Devourer expert in this world, or he was just bragging. From his expression, Ning Qi could tell that he belonged to the former. He was one of those mortals who didn't know that there was someone in this world who could devour souls to strengthen their physique.
"General Zhao, I only found out about this matter on my way to Beijing. I have no clue what happened to my family. I hope that General Zhao can find the culprit and avenge the Nangong Family."
Ning Qi cupped his hands and said.
General Zhao and Dugu Mo looked at each other. At this moment, even he felt that there was something wrong with Ning Qi, and this was because Ning Qi couldn't be bothered to put on an act.
"Husband, Lingfeng's family has been through a drastic change, and he has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing. He must be very tired. If you have anything to say, let's talk later."
Nangong Qu Chan looked at Dugu Mo with a pleading look in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Mo nodded his head after a few breaths of silence. He said calmly, "Someone, bring him to rest!"
"Young Master Lingfeng, please."
Someone immediately stepped forward. From the looks of it, it should be Dugu Mo's personal guard.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Yun 'er also wanted to follow. However, she was stopped by Dugu Mo's gaze. She could only watch as Ning Qi left with Dugu Mo's personal guard.
"Brother Zhao, I'll have to trouble you with the Nangong Family this time. Although Nangong Xiaotian was demoted by the Emperor, he was once an important official in the imperial court. Now that his entire family was almost wiped out, we must get to the bottom of this matter. Otherwise, how will we, the officials of the imperial court, live in the future?"
Dugu Mo cupped his hands and said to General Zhao.
"That's for sure. I will definitely investigate this matter properly!"
General Zhao smiled and cupped his hands.
After that, Dugu Mo personally sent him out of the Dugu Family. After General Zhao left, Dugu Mo looked at Nangong Qu Chan and said calmly, "Let Nangong Lingfeng rest for a day. After the court session ends tomorrow, call him to see me."
"Yes, husband."
Nangong Qu Chan nodded her head with reddened eyes.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Mo said in a low voice, "Although I don't get along with Nangong Xiaotian, I will take this matter to heart and seek justice for the Nangong Family."
