Chapter 101: Nangong Wentian
Around five o’clock in the afternoon.
The taxi stopped right in front of the Li family manor.
Lin Feng, Lin Yun Yao, and Li Xiao Ke got out of the car and were surprised to see several luxury cars parked in front of the manor.
Even from outside, they could hear the sounds of chatter and laughter coming from within the manor, indicating that many guests had arrived.
“Maybe we should just forget it. It seems that Li Ru Hai has invited quite a few big shots for this marriage alliance.”
Li Xiao Ke said anxiously, clearly frightened.
“Really? But I enjoy mingling with these big shots. They’re all talented, have great conversations, and money…”
Lin Feng chuckled and led the way toward the manor.
“Xiao Ke, don’t be scared! With my brother here, everything will be fine!”
Lin Yun Yao held Li Xiao Ke’s hand.
Li Xiao Ke took a deep breath, nodded, and followed closely behind Lin Yun Yao.
She secretly thought to herself that no matter what, she had to ensure that Uncle and Xiao Yao were not harmed; if worse came to worst, she would threaten them with her life!
…
At this moment.
In the main hall of a villa at the center of the manor,
A group of people was gathered together, chatting and laughing about something.
In addition to Li Ru Hai and a few core members of the Li family,
There were also Qin Wu Dao, the head of the Qin family, Long Hao, the leader of the Longmen Hall, and Di Shi Tian, the leader of the Zha Tian Gang…
These individuals were all prominent figures who had attended the Jiang family’s engagement banquet that morning, and now they were gathered around a middle-aged man, speaking with a tone of respect.
The middle-aged man, named Nan Gong Wen Tian, was dressed in a luxurious robe, had a long face, an eagle-like nose, and exuded an unfathomable martial aura, with a faint force of nature surrounding him, making him appear extremely intimidating.
“What brings you to Jin Ling City today, Brother Wen Tian?” Qin Wu Dao asked with a smile, though his heart was heavy with concern.
Nan Gong Wen Tian was not only the elder of the Nan Gong family in Jing Hang City but also possessed a terrifying cultivation level that had reached the fourth stage of the acquired realm!
There were six cities in Jiangnan Province.
They were Jin Ling City, Jing Hang City, Wu Xiang City, Su Zhou City, Lu Zhou City, and Yang Zhou City.
Among these six cities, Jin Ling City was at the bottom, while Jing Hang City ranked among the top three!
Qin Wu Dao was currently at the first stage of the acquired realm, considered a top expert in Jin Ling City, but was insignificant compared to Nan Gong Wen Tian, who could not even be ranked in the top ten in the martial arts community of Jing Hang City!
This clearly indicated the vast difference between the two cities!
Of course, that wasn’t the main point!
The important thing was that although the two cities were adjacent, the martial arts communities rarely interacted.
Nan Gong Wen Tian’s sudden arrival left the few people present feeling puzzled and tense.
“Hahaha! Brother Wen Tian, you must be here to enjoy a visit to Jin Ling, right?” Long Hao said with a laugh.
Di Shi Tian remained silent but watched Nan Gong Wen Tian closely, waiting for his response.
“That’s a joke. What’s so enjoyable about Jin Ling City? It’s just a poor and remote place! There isn’t even a capable martial artist. Even Wang Yue Xuan from the Martial Arts Alliance is no match for me in ten moves.”
Nan Gong Wen Tian said dismissively, barely hiding his contempt.
Qin Wu Dao and the others felt a surge of anger at his words but dared not speak out, only managing a dry laugh, “Brother Wen Tian is right; our Jin Ling martial arts community indeed cannot compare to your Jing Hang City!”
“That’s good to hear!”
Nan Gong Wen Tian nodded, then casually added, “I’m here to marry Li Ru Hai’s daughter as a concubine.”
“What?”
Qin Wu Dao, Long Hao, and Di Shi Tian were taken aback, their expressions shocked as they turned to look at Li Ru Hai.
Li Ru Hai remained calm, showing no signs of embarrassment, and smiled slightly as he said, “Indeed! Our Li family is preparing to form a marriage alliance with the Nan Gong family from Jing Hang! Brother Wen Tian, as the elder of the Nan Gong family, holds a noble status and possesses extraordinary strength; marrying my daughter is certainly a perfect match!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu Dao and the others fell silent.
They could vaguely guess Li Ru Hai’s intention; it was simply that the Li family was currently weak and wanted to leverage the power of the Nan Gong family to rise again!
This was similar to the previous marriage alliance between the Jiang family and the Yun Chuan Chen family!
However, at least the Jiang and Chen families involved two young people, right?
Li Ru Hai was actually marrying his teenage daughter to an older man, which seemed a bit shameless, didn’t it?
They felt a wave of disdain in their hearts but maintained their smiles on the surface, not daring to show any signs of discontent.
They were not afraid of Li Ru Hai, but the pressure from Nan Gong Wen Tian was too great!
At that moment, Nan Gong Wen Tian suddenly asked, “I heard that the Jiang family in Jin Ling City was wiped out by a young man today?”
“That’s right!” Li Ru Hai nodded with a smile.
“Isn’t it just a poor and remote place? The Jiang family was considered the top martial arts family in Jin Ling City, yet they were wiped out by a junior. Truly pathetic!”
Nan Gong Wen Tian said with a look of disdain.
“Brother Wen Tian, you shouldn’t say that! Lin Feng is indeed very strong!” Qin Wu Dao could no longer hold back and spoke up in defense.
He thought to himself that although Nan Gong Wen Tian was strong, calling Jin Ling City a poor and remote place and referring to them as pathetic in front of the leaders of various forces was a bit excessive, wasn’t it?
“Very strong? Don’t make excuses for your own weakness! The martial arts community in Jin Ling City is just trash; every year in the six-city competition, you always come in last! Doesn’t that prove anything?”
Nan Gong Wen Tian sneered.
He had an air of superiority, completely disregarding the leaders of the various forces present.
“Brother Wen Tian, isn’t that a bit extreme? Although our Jin Ling martial arts community is currently weak, it was once a top presence among the six cities decades ago!”
“And if it weren’t for that incident back then, we wouldn’t have fallen to our current state!” Long Hao suppressed his anger and said.
“What do you mean? Do you have a problem with me?” Nan Gong Wen Tian suddenly exploded, slapping at Long Hao.
Long Hao’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to defend himself!
But he was only at the peak of the Earth Realm; how could he possibly be a match for a fourth-stage acquired realm expert?
“Bang!”
Long Hao was instantly sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Hmph! Just a little punishment to remind you of your place! You can’t act recklessly in front of me!”
Nan Gong Wen Tian coldly snorted.
