"It's a pity. With the addition of Captain Nangong Muxu, the two hundred thousand taels of pure gold will definitely not be ours."
After everyone left the Nangong Family, their faces were filled with pity.
"I reckon that Captain Qian Hu came personally because we're all from the Nangong Family. Sigh, it's a pity. If we could find Miss Nangong, we might be valued by Captain Qian Hu."
"Hehe, if you want to be a lackey, you can go to the Six Doors of Constables."
"What did you say?"
As they chatted, they almost got into a fight. Just then, a dozen figures walked over from all directions. When the cultivators saw them, their faces were filled with vigilance. However, when they saw the insignia on their clothes, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sect Leader!"
The group of cultivators dressed in green robes with sabers and axes embroidered on their sleeves greeted Sect Leader Liu.
"Let's go too."
Ning Qi smiled at Zhantai Qingyin and was about to leave.
When Sect Leader Liu saw this, his lips curled up slightly and he gestured towards Ning Qi. His subordinates understood and surrounded the two of them. When the other cultivators saw this, they smiled and bade farewell. They did not want to get involved in this matter.
"You two don't look like locals, right?"
Sect Leader Liu walked in front of the two of them and smiled condescendingly.
"What has it got to do with you?"
Zhantai Qingyin said plainly.
"I'm the Sect Leader of the Dajiang Gang. I have some status in Sishui Commandery. From your attire, you don't come from ordinary families. Why don't you come to my gang for a cup of tea and make friends?"
Sect Leader Liu smiled. He looked at Zhantai Qingyin with undisguised greed.
Ning Qi understood in his heart. With Zhantai Qingyin's looks, how could ordinary people not be moved? Moreover, Zhantai Qingyin was young and full of youthful energy. She also looked very gullible. Otherwise, why would Gu Tianya's grandson have set his eyes on her?
In the end, she killed him.
"Sure, let's go to your gang for a cup of tea. I'm thirsty."
Ning Qi nodded.
When Zhantai Qingyin, who was about to attack, saw this, she calmed the vital energy in her body.
Gang Leader Liu smiled as he looked at Ning Qi, then at Zhantai Qingyin, and said, "Please!"
On the way, Ning Qi noticed that Dajiang Gang seemed to have quite a bit of prestige in Sishui Prefecture. When passersby saw Gang Leader Liu and the other strong men, they would immediately make way for them, not daring to offend them. Occasionally, they would meet some cultivators who would also salute them with their hands folded in front of their chest and say a few polite words. However, Gang Leader Liu was still very arrogant when facing cultivators below the fifth layer of the Qi Refining realm, so he basically answered them with a nasal sound.
He was a tsundere little gang leader.
Ning Qi sighed in his heart. If he was not present, this tsundere little gang master would have been killed by Zhantai Qingyin just now.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the group arrived at a riverside. There were many young scholars here for an outing, and there were also many hawkers selling snacks.
Gang Leader Liu pointed to a luxurious mansion not far away and smiled at Zhantai Qingyin. "That's the headquarters of my Dajiang Gang, my mansion."
Zhantai Qingyin ignored him, but Gang Leader Liu did not feel awkward. Instead, the smile on his face became more and more perverted.
After entering the headquarters of Dajiang Gang, there were many gang members who greeted them along the way. Gang Leader Liu could not help but reveal a hint of arrogance on his face. This was the foundation that he had painstakingly built over many years. Back then, he was just an ordinary laborer at the dock, but he had a fortuitous encounter and was able to cultivate the Immortal Dao. After more than twenty years, he finally worked hard to build such a huge family business. He had many wives and concubines. Every time he thought of this, Gang Leader Liu would feel very proud.
Everyone came to the main hall, and Ning Qi casually found a seat to sit down. Zhantai Qingyin stood behind him, looking very much like a servant. Gang Leader Liu signaled his subordinates to leave, and he sat at the main seat. After the servants served tea, Gang Leader Liu smiled at Ning Qi and said, "Young Master, where are you from?"
Before the two of them spoke, Gang Leader Liu said to himself, "You should be short of money, right?
Otherwise, you wouldn't have set your sights on the Nangong Family's bounty. You're really lucky today. The Nangong Family's second branch elder has a very fiery temper. If Nangong Muchu hadn't come in time, I would have had to teach you a lesson against my will. "
After saying that, Gang Leader Liu smiled at Ning Qi and said, "The little girl beside you looks smart and obedient. Coincidentally, my personal servant died of illness some time ago. Why don't you give her to me?
I'll give you five hundred taels of pure gold. How about that? "
"Firstly, I'm not short of money."
Ning Qi smiled and said, "Secondly, Nangong Muchu didn't come, so you can't teach us a lesson. Thirdly, I basically know where Young Mistress Nangong is. Fourthly, Gang Leader Liu, the scenery here is quite beautiful. Fifthly, the tea is drugged, so it's not very good. Sixthly, there's a woman walking here aggressively. She seems to be looking for you."
When Liu Chendong heard Ning Qi's words, his expression changed again. As if to verify Ning Qi's words, a woman rushed into the hall. When she saw Zhantai Qingyin, she immediately said angrily to Liu Chendong, "Liu Chendong, some time ago, that servant girl seduced you recklessly. I just fed her to the dogs, and now you're tempted again?
Do you believe that I won't send a message to my father and have him teach you a lesson? "
This woman was clearly older than Liu Chendong, and there were no signs of cultivation on her. However, when facing Liu Chendong, she was extremely domineering. It was obvious that her father's cultivation was higher than Liu Chendong's! Liu Chendong didn't have time to think about what Ning Qi had just said. When he saw the woman, he quickly stood up and smiled sheepishly. "Madam, you've misunderstood. This girl is someone else's servant girl. It has nothing to do with me. I'm here to discuss serious matters!"
"Serious matters?"
The woman revealed a suspicious look. She looked at Ning Qi and then at Zhantai Qingyin. Suddenly, a hint of jealousy appeared on her face, and the suspicion in her heart didn't disappear.
"Indeed, we're discussing serious matters. He said he knows the whereabouts of that person from the Nangong Family."
Liu Chendong hurriedly nodded. He glanced at Ning Qi with a hint of gloominess in his eyes.
"You better not be lying to me. Otherwise, I'll throw this girl into the well."
The woman laughed coldly at Zhantai Qingyin. "Find that girl from the Nangong Family as soon as possible. The two hundred thousand taels of pure gold is just enough to buy pills for my father!"
"Understood, Madam."
Liu Chendong smiled ingratiatingly.
Only then did the woman stop and turn to leave.
Once she left, a hint of killing intent flashed in Liu Chendong's eyes. He looked coldly at Ning Qi. "How did you know that there was knockout drug in the tea? Where is Young Mistress Nangong?"
"Which of these two questions should I answer first?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Tell me where Young Mistress Nangong is first!"
Liu Chendong said with a gloomy expression.
He had already sensed that something was off. From the fact that Ning Qi could detect the knockout drug in the tea, he guessed that Ning Qi had a lot of experience in the pugilistic world. His age didn't match up with his appearance. In that case, he really might know where Young Mistress Nangong was! Two hundred thousand taels of pure gold was not a small sum to any Qi Condensation cultivator.
"Young Mistress Nangong is most likely at Ancient Pool Manor. I wonder if Chief Liu has the confidence to go to Ancient Pool Manor and bring her out?"
Ning Qi smiled.
Ancient Pool Manor?
Liu Chendong's hand subconsciously trembled.
