"This is the place. I'll arrange for a maid to come over later. You can call her if you need anything."
Dugu Xiangjin, Dugu Mo's personal guard, brought Ning Qi to a small courtyard in the Dugu Residence. He looked at Ning Qi indifferently and said.
"Thank you."
Ning Qi smiled. The expression in Dugu Xiangjin's eyes suddenly changed, and a trace of coldness flashed through them. "Your father broke off with the Lord. But, your Nangong Family has encountered a powerful enemy, and was almost exterminated. And, the Lord has also voiced his support for your Nangong Family. That General Zhao is in charge of this case because of this.
I don't care if you still have a grudge against our Dugu Family. Since you've come to our Dugu Family, you must abide by our rules. If I find out that you've done something to harm our Dugu Family in secret, I won't let you off. "
Ning Qi's smile didn't change, but his eyes gradually turned cold. He smiled at Dugu Xiangjin and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Dugu Xiangjin was slightly taken aback by Ning Qi's reaction. He snorted and said, "That's right. I'm threatening you, just like how you threatened my Dugu Family!"
"I'm threatening your Dugu Family?"
"You don't remember? That's right, you were only three or five years old at that time, and your hair was not even fully grown. When Nangong Xiaotian took you away from Yanjing, you publicly swore that you would return to Yanjing and teach the Dugu family a lesson. "
Dugu Xiangjin smiled and looked at Ning Qi mockingly. "You have indeed returned to the capital, but it's a pity that you're in a sorry state."
With that, he snorted with a fake smile, turned around, and left.
"Nangong Xiaotian was the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Now, Dugu Mo is the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. It's no wonder that the two families would fall out."
Ning Qi smiled and muttered to himself. "It won't be peaceful from now on …"
The Dugu Family's hostility towards Nangong Lingfeng was obvious. It could be seen from Dugu Mo and Dugu Xiangjin's attitude. The only ones who were warm to Nangong Lingfeng were probably Dugu Yun 'er and Nangong Qu Chan.
Although Ning Qi had killed the Heng Mountain Bandits on the Peach Blossom Path, he was not tired at all. After sitting quietly in the room for a while, a servant girl stood outside timidly and looked at Ning Qi nervously and curiously.
"Did Dugu Xiangjin send you?"
Ning Qi glanced at the servant girl and said with a strange expression.
This maidservant's face was sallow and emaciated. She looked as if she couldn't even eat her fill. Could it be that the Dugu Family was so big that even a servant would starve?
"Yes."
The maid's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"What's your name?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"Reporting to Young Master Nangong, servant girl Xiao Tao."
The maid said.
She seemed to see that Ning Qi's tone was gentle and didn't look as fierce as before, so she relaxed a little.
Gu, gu, gu.
Suddenly, a sound came from Xiao Tao's stomach, and she immediately blushed.
"I'm hungry. Go get some food."
Ning Qi smiled.
Xiao Tao quickly nodded like a chick pecking at rice when she heard this. She turned around and left.
Not long after, Xiao Tao brought food over. Ning Qi symbolically ate a little, then pushed the food away. "This doesn't taste good. You eat."
"Ah?"
Xiao Tao was stunned.
"Eat. I see that you should be hungry too, right?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"I don't dare. I'm not hungry."
Xiao Tao quickly blushed and shook her head. However, when her eyes fell on the fragrant food, she seemed to be glued to it. Her throat also moved up and down.
"I told you to eat, so eat."
Ning Qi slowly stood up and said indifferently.
After saying this, he walked out. "I'm going out for a walk. When I come back, you have to finish them." Xiao Tao waited until Ning Qi left before she reacted. She was a little shocked because Ning Qi's expression just now was very similar to Dugu Mo's. They were both dignified. Thinking of Ning Qi's words when he left and her stomach, Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked towards the table.
Go.
… …
Ning Qi walked in the Dugu Family, feeling like a crane in a flock of chickens. Whether it was the servants or the disciples of the Dugu Family, they were slightly stunned when they saw Ning Qi. However, no one took the initiative to greet him. They all waited for Ning Qi to walk past, then looked at his back and discussed in private.
"Cousin Lingfeng!"
Dugu Yun 'er suddenly appeared and jogged to Ning Qi's side. She asked curiously, "Cousin Lingfeng, why don't you go and rest? Aren't you tired from the journey?"
"I've already rested before we reached Yan Jing."
Ning Qi smiled.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Yun 'er realized that Ning Qi didn't seem to be very tired, so she accompanied Ning Qi to walk around the Dugu's house. Every time they went to a place, she would introduce it to him, such as whose courtyard it was and which of Dugu Mo's brothers lived in. "It's wrong for you to punch like this. You can't hesitate when you punch. You have to be fast, ruthless, and crafty. You have to pursue a fatal blow. Don't give the enemy a chance to counterattack. If you can hit a vital point, don't waste your energy elsewhere! Sir is the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. In the future, you will also have to go to the battlefield to fight for the country.
If you continue to be like today, you will definitely die on the battlefield in the future! "
Suddenly, a loud shout came from not far away.
"Cousin Lingfeng, that is our Dugu Family's martial arts arena. When we were young, we liked to play there the most. Let's go, I'll bring you over to take a look!"
Dugu Yun 'er directly pulled Ning Qi's arm and ran in the direction of the martial arts arena. Along the way, they met some servants who hurriedly stood at the side and bowed to Dugu Yun' er. Then, when they saw Dugu Yun 'er grabbing Ning Qi's arm tightly, their eyes immediately revealed a look of contemplation.
In the martial arts arena, hundreds of bare-chested Dugu Family disciples were sweating profusely. They were following a teacher-like figure who was leading them and performing a set of simple and clear fist techniques.
That instructor was nine feet tall and also bare-chested. However, the muscles on his body were a size larger than ordinary people. He looked full of power, and every punch he threw was also full of vigor.
Compared to General Zhao, this instructor's aura was a notch weaker. However, compared to the hundreds of Dugu Family disciples, he was much stronger. If they were to fight bare-handed, these hundreds of Dugu Family disciples might not be able to defeat this instructor even if they joined forces.
The boss of Mount Heng once said that among the mortals who practiced martial arts, the strongest was only equivalent to a Grade 3 Spirit Devourer expert.
General Zhao might be a martial artist of this level. As for this instructor, he was a notch weaker than General Zhao. He should be equivalent to a Grade 2 Spirit Devourer, or maybe only a Grade 1 Spirit Devourer. After all, the difference between the two was negligible to Ning Qi, and he could not be bothered to care about it.
"That's Cousin Yun 'er!"
"Who is the person beside her? Why does he look so familiar? "
"I also feel that he looks familiar, but I can't recognize him. Which family is he from in the capital?"
Quite a few of the Dugu Family's disciples who were practicing noticed Ning Qi's actions, and their punches gradually slowed down. When the instructor noticed this, he stopped.
"Yun 'er, what are you doing here?"
