120: Chapter 120 Nangong Hongyan Comes to Visit

"Could it be that Chen Hu let our Nangong Family off because of you?" Family Head Nangong Ming suddenly raised his voice, as if he had realized something.

"Perhaps!"

After saying this, Nangong Hongyan's face became even more shy.

Noticing his daughter's expression, Family Head Nangong Ming asked, "Hongyan, you and that Chen Hu, could it be that you have a secret relationship?"

Because he remembered one thing: Nangong Xing had reported to him before that Young Master Yan Dongcheng had been extremely jealous because his daughter had gone to the private room to visit Chen Hu.

He even ran to the private room and threatened Chen Hu.

Even though Chen Hu ignored him, Young Master Yan Dongcheng still did not intend to let Chen Hu off and sent two personal guards to capture Chen Hu.

Unexpectedly, those two personal guards suddenly turned back and ambushed and severely injured Young Master Yan Dongcheng.

If his daughter hadn't gone to visit Chen Hu at that time, would Young Master Yan Dongcheng not have been jealous?

If he hadn't been jealous, he wouldn't have sent guards to deal with Chen Hu.

Perhaps those two guards wouldn't have betrayed him for no reason.

Therefore, the Yan Family ending up in this state might have all been caused by his daughter.

For a moment, he even regretted naming his daughter "Hongyan"; truly, a beauty can be a disaster.

Of course, he didn't take this thought seriously; he was just letting his mind wander.

The real cause of the conflict between the Yan Family and Chen Hu was still Young Master Yan Dongcheng and his sister Nangong Wan.

If Young Master Yan Dongcheng hadn't been so arrogant and domineering, wanting to kill Chen Hu just because of jealousy, he wouldn't have been severely injured.

After Nangong Wan arrived in Linjiang Prefecture, she sent people to capture Chen Hu without any evidence, merely based on suspicion.

To put it bluntly, it was because she was accustomed to being high and mighty and did not take the people of Linjiang Prefecture seriously.

If this mother and daughter had been even slightly more restrained, they wouldn't have ended up in this current state.

By now, how could Family Head Nangong Ming not understand that Young Master Yan Dongcheng's subordinates had been turned by Chen Hu, and Nangong Wan's disappearance was likely also Chen Hu's doing.

Hearing Family Head Nangong Ming's words, Nangong Hongyan was somewhat shy and angry: "Father, what are you talking about? How can you slander your daughter's reputation like this?"

"Sorry, sorry, it was a slip of the tongue!"

Family Head Nangong Ming apologized immediately.

"Fine, I forgive you!"

Suddenly, Family Head Nangong Ming's expression became serious: "Hongyan, let me ask you, do you really think we should be on good terms with Chen Hu?"

"Does this even need consideration?"

Nangong Hongyan said matter-of-factly: "We have offended Aunt's husband's family to the point of no return, and there is almost no room for reconciliation. Secondly, the Yan Family, where Aunt's husband belongs, has lost its Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm guardian. Unless Aunt's husband makes a Breakthrough to the Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm in a short time, the decline of the Yan Family is already fated."

"Finally, Father, think about it. How old is Young Master Chen? He is only in his early twenties and can already defeat a Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm expert. What about when he is thirty or forty? What terrifying level will he reach? At least the Organ Refining Realm, right?"

"The Organ Refining Realm might not be able to dominate Lingzhou, but in our Linjiang Prefecture, who can contend with him?"

"If our family can build a good relationship with Young Master Chen, not to mention flourishing, we can at least ensure we won't decline."

"Once our relationship with Young Master Chen breaks down,"

"even if Young Master Chen doesn't take action against us personally, do you believe that the other major families will swallow us up!"

Hearing this, Family Head Nangong Ming's expression had become extremely grave. He nodded and said: "Hongyan, your analysis makes a lot of sense. Since you have a friendship with Young Master Chen, why don't you go and test his opinion of our family?"

"Daughter can go and try, but I cannot guarantee anything. Besides, Young Master Chen is at the Marrow Refining Realm after all. Father, you can't have me visit empty-handed, can you? Why not take a divine weapon as a visiting gift?"

Hearing that she wanted to take a divine weapon as a gift, a flash of heartache crossed Family Head Nangong Ming's eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Alright, go to the warehouse and pick a divine weapon to take with you!"

Although divine weapons are valuable.

But the Nangong Family can forge divine weapons. Although the market price is 1 million, their forging cost is only two or three hundred thousand taels of silver.

Because she knew the weapon Chen Hu used was a saber.

Nangong Hongyan went to their own warehouse and carefully selected a saber-type divine weapon, put it in a box, and then dressed up carefully before taking the carriage with her Maid to the Fierce Tiger Gang General Hall.

Learning that Nangong Hongyan had come to visit.

Chen Hu went to welcome her personally.

Seeing Nangong Hongyan step down from the carriage dressed in women's clothing, Chen Hu smiled: "Brother Nangong, why aren't you wearing men's clothing today?"

"Brother Chen, please don't tease this young lady!"

Nangong Hongyan said, blushing slightly.

And Chen Hu's gaze swept over the numbers above Nangong Hongyan's head; he was somewhat puzzled in his heart. He hadn't done anything, so why was the friendliness level so high?

Subsequently, led by Chen Hu, Nangong Hongyan and her servant entered the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Finally, they arrived in Chen Hu's official room.

Yesterday, after consulting with Chen Hu, the Internal Affairs Hall arranged for two Maids to come over.

After having the two Maids pour two cups of tea, he had them withdraw.

Seeing Chen Hu pour two cups of tea, the Maid was somewhat moved. Initially, she had looked down on Chen Hu because his cultivation was low and he was a Gang member.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hu was now a Marrow Refining Realm expert, yet he had no intention of looking down on her, a Maid. For a moment, a sense of shame suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Brother Chen, my father knew I was coming to visit you, so he specially asked me to go to the warehouse and select a gift for you. I don't know if you will like it!"

While speaking, Nangong Hongyan took the long box from the Maid and handed it to Chen Hu.

Chen Hu opened the box and discovered that inside was a saber, and it was a divine weapon at that.

At this moment, the Maid couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master Chen, this saber was carefully selected by my Young Miss; it is the highest quality divine weapon saber in the warehouse!"

The Nangong Family only auctions one divine weapon a year, which does not mean they can only forge one divine weapon a year.

They were playing the hunger marketing game.

There were still quite a few divine weapons in their own warehouse.

"Brother Nangong, you are very thoughtful!"

Chen Hu smiled at Nangong Hongyan, then drew the long saber. Immediately, a burning sensation rushed towards him. The saber blade was deep red and had flame patterns.

"Good saber!"

Chen Hu praised, then sheathed the saber.

Then, he looked at Nangong Hongyan again: "Brother Nangong, you have given me such a heavy gift, I wonder what you need to ask of me?"

Nangong Hongyan said: "There are no other requests; it is just that my father is worried about being hated by you, so he specifically asked me to come and test your attitude."

Chen Hu liked this kind of straightforward communication.

So he said dismissively: "I thought it was something else. Based on the friendship between Brother Nangong and me, I won't hold anything against the Nangong Family!"

"Then thank you very much, Brother Chen. To tell you the truth, my father's hair has turned white with worry because of this matter!" Nangong Hongyan was overjoyed, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face. At the same time, a feeling of sweetness welled up in her heart.

She thought to herself: "Young Master Chen cares about me!"

"However, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Since Brother Nangong has given me such a heavy gift, I cannot show nothing in return. This spiritual fruit will be my return gift!" Chen Hu took out a brocade box containing the marrow cleansing fruit and handed it to Nangong Hongyan.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. This young lady will not stand on ceremony with you!" Nangong Hongyan was not a coy person either; she directly accepted the brocade box, while also feeling some anticipation about what Chen Hu had given her as a return gift.
