The next day. Yan Jing was greatly shaken. Because just yesterday, hundreds of prestigious Young Masters and Young Ladies died in the hands of the Heng Mountain Bandits when they went for an outing on the Peach Blossom Road. Many rich and powerful families were arranging their funerals at the moment. This kind of scene was really rare in a hundred years.
There was a lot of discussion.
What was even more shocking was that the Heng Mountain Bandits were killed by Yan Jing's general, Lin Fengxian. This news made all the people heave a sigh of relief. They kept praising Lin Fengxian's bravery for getting rid of such a great bandit for the Yan Kingdom!
In the Dugu Residence. Regardless of whether it was the Dugu Clan's disciples or servants, they were basically all discussing yesterday's events on the Peach Blossom Path. Occasionally, they would add one or two topics related to Ning Qi. After all, the strength that Ning Qi had displayed yesterday had already subdued most of the Dugu Clan's disciples.
As for the disciples of the Dugu Family, they were also very afraid of Ning Qi after listening to the narration of the others.
To be able to defeat Dugu Xiangjin with one palm, this kind of strength was already the top in the Yan Kingdom!
Naturally, some people didn't believe it. However, when they saw the scene of Doctor Zhuge treating Dugu Xiangjin, they had to believe the fact that Ning Qi was stronger than Dugu Xiangjin.
After the morning court session, Dugu Mo locked himself in the study room alone. The servants who saw his complexion all felt that it was a little strange. They thought that Dugu Mo was sick, which was why his face was so pale.
"Are you still here?"
Dugu Mo suddenly asked.
It was quiet in the study. No one answered him.
"Sure enough, he left …"
Dugu Mo muttered to himself absentmindedly. Suddenly, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
…
Nangong Quchan thought that Ning Qi had rested for a day, so she asked Dugu Yun 'er to come and bring Ning Qi to the backyard.
She rambled on and on about Ning Qi's childhood. Ning Qi smiled and nodded, occasionally responding. As she spoke, Nangong Quchan began to shed tears. Dugu Yun 'er stepped forward and said, "Mother, don't be sad anymore …"
"I'm not sad. At least Ling Feng is still alive."
Nangong Quchan wiped her tears and looked at Ning Qi with a trace of relief in her eyes. "Ling Feng, I heard that you have practiced the Mountain Splitting Palm of your family to the Great Completion Realm?"
"Yes."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
"Then why don't you demonstrate it for me? I haven't seen the Mountain Splitting Palm in a long time."
Nangong Quchan said.
Practice?
Ning Qi didn't know how to use the Mountain Splitting Palm at all. If he practiced it, he would definitely be exposed. Just as he was thinking of an excuse to refuse, a maid hurriedly ran over.
"Madam, Second Madam is here!"
"Second Sister is here?"
Nangong Quchan's expression changed slightly, and then the trace of sorrow on her face disappeared. Her expression became dignified and solemn, as if she had not just shed tears.
At this moment, a woman who was a few years younger than Nangong Quchan walked in leisurely. Behind her was Lin Si, who had been taught a lesson by Ning Qi yesterday, as well as a boy and a girl who were three to five years younger than Dugu Yun 'er, but their appearances were very similar.
Dugu Mo had a wife and a concubine. This woman was Dugu Yun 'er's second concubine, Xu Qingping.
"Second Sister is here."
Nangong Quchan said faintly.
Xu Qingping glanced at Ning Qi before smiling at Nangong Quchan. "Big Sister, I am here today to apologize to Young Master Lingfeng."
"Oh? Why do you say that? "
Nangong Quchan frowned.
"Dog, aren't you going to apologize?"
Xu Qingping glanced at Lin Si who was behind her.
Lin Si immediately went forward, knelt on the ground, and started slapping himself. Following Xu Qingping's narration, Nangong Quchan finally knew what had happened, and a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes.
After slapping himself about thirty to fifty times, Lin Si finally stopped and walked behind Xu Qingping. He lowered his head and looked at the ground.
"Young Master Lingfeng, this servant of mine was insensible yesterday and offended you. Please don't take it to heart."
Xu Qingping saw that Nangong Quchan didn't speak, and a trace of fierceness flashed in the depths of her eyes. However, she concealed it well, and no one could see it except for Ning Qi.
"It's fine."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Today, I learned that Young Master Lingfeng is extremely skilled in martial arts. These two children of mine also learned the Roaring Tiger Fist from Instructor Tie Hu for a period of time. Why don't they acknowledge Young Master Lingfeng as their master …"
Xu Qingping smiled.
"Mother, I won't acknowledge him as my master!" The little boy behind Xu Qingping said stubbornly. He looked at Ning Qi with a trace of disdain in his eyes. "I am Father's only son. In the future, I will inherit the Dugu Residence. How can I take a relative as my master? Furthermore, now that the Nangong Family has been destroyed, there is no benefit for me to acknowledge him as my master.
No matter how strong a martial artist is, he will die if dozens of soldiers fire arrows at him at the same time! "
"Child, why are you so insensible?"
Xu Qingping lightly hit the little boy before smiling at Ning Qi and Nangong Quchan. "I have let Big Sister and Young Master Lingfeng see a joke."
Nangong Quchan's expression turned extremely ugly.
She was not here to apologize or acknowledge him as her master. She was here to show off. On one hand, she pointed out that Dugu Mo only had one son, and that he would be the successor of the Dugu Residence in the future. On the other hand, she threatened Ning Qi that no matter how strong his martial arts were, dozens of soldiers would be enough to kill him!
"Indeed, he is too insensible."
Nangong Quchan sneered.
Xu Qingping's expression changed slightly, and she laughed dryly. "Then I will bring him back to teach him a lesson. I will take my leave first."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"Mother, Second Concubine is too savage."
Dugu Yun 'er said unhappily.
"That is her personality."
Nangong Quchan smiled and said to Ning Qi, "Lingfeng, don't mind her."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
After he left the backyard, he ran into Tie Hu.
Tie Hu looked at Ning Qi with a complicated expression. After a while, he sighed. "Back then, I thought that you had no talent in martial arts, but now, you have mastered the Nangong Family's martial arts to such a level. I was wrong."
"What's the matter?"
Ning Qi said lightly.
"Sir, please make a trip to the study."
Tie Hu nodded.
"Lead the way."
Ning Qi smiled. If Dugu Mo didn't see him today, he would suspect that he was involved in the Nangong Family's near-annihilation.
The Dugu Residence was huge. After about ten minutes, Ning Qi arrived at Dugu Mo's study. Tie Hu was waiting outside and had no intention of entering.
"Have a seat."
