"It's good that the girl understands it." Old man Li nodded, but he couldn't help but worry in his eyes.

"Grandpa Zhou, what force does Zhu Chong belong to?" Nangong Xi looked at old man Zhou.

"This Zhu Chong is the nephew of the city lord. I don't know who injured him. He collapsed not far from my house and was dying. I rescued him. Who would have thought that after he recovered from his injuries, he not only coveted Qian'er but also the ancestral treasures of my Zhou family." After saying this, old man Zhou sighed.

"So every time he comes to cause trouble it's for the Zhou family's ancestral treasure?" Nangong Xi looked at Old Man Zhou.

"That's right. My Zhou family has an ancient jade toad that can heal wounds. It's also my fault that I was too kind-hearted at the time. Seeing that he was dying, I used the jade toad to help him heal his wounds. I didn't expect that he would covet it." Old man Zhou's eyes were full of anger.

"In order to force us to hand over the jade toad, that beast actually beat Qian'er severely and wanted to take it away while we were taking out the jade toad to heal Qian'er." The old woman walked over.

"So you have never dared to take out the jade toad to heal Zhou Qian?" Nangong Xi looked at them.

"It's not that we don't dare to take it out, but that beast doesn't know at all. Although the Jade Toad is good, it can only be used once in ten years. The only chance in these ten years has been used on him." The old woman explained, wiping her tears.

"Also, since this jade toad is an ancestral sacred object of my Zhou family, naturally only my Zhou family members can use it. It will be useless even if Zhu Chong snatches it away." Old man Zhou continued.

"So the reason you haven't handed over the Jade Toad is not because you are reluctant to do so, but because you are worried that once you hand it over, Zhu Chong will know the secret and will target Zhou Qian again?" Nangong Xi reacted immediately.

"That's right." Old man Zhou nodded.

"The city lord's nephew? Is he going to take over the entire city lord's mansion?" Nangong Xi muttered.

Old Man Zhou: ...

This girl has a very big tone.

But when she said she took over the entire City Lord's Mansion, how could it be as easy as eating a meal?

"The food is ready, let's eat first." Old man Li shouted to Nangong Xi and the others not far away.

"Coming." Nangong Xi and the others responded and looked in the direction where Old Man Li was.

"It smells so good." Nangong Man couldn't help but exclaimed when she smelled the aroma of the food.

"Please come in, young lady." The old woman smiled when she heard this.

Afterwards, everyone ate together happily, as if they had completely forgotten about Zhu Chong's matter.

"Let's all rest here tonight." Nangong Xi said to everyone after setting up a protective talisman formation in the entire yard.

After all, Zhu Chong is the city lord's nephew, and he is afraid that the Zhu family will vent their anger on these people when they learn of Zhu Chong's death.

"That's good. It's safer here." Old man Li nodded.

So the neighbors stayed in Old Man Zhou's yard.

Nangong Xi took out a tent and used his creative power to create several tents on the spot for everyone to stay temporarily.

This made Old Man Li and the others very happy.

They walked into the tent and were surprised again.

Because the tent not only has quilts but also some daily necessities, it is really complete.

They couldn't figure out where Nangong Xi moved these things from.

Old Man Zhou cleaned up several rooms in his house for Nangong Xi and the others to live in.

Nangong Xi said that he and others only needed one room.

The other rooms are reserved for the children.

After returning to the room, Zi Moyan and the others went back to the space.

That night, just as Nangong Xi had expected, after learning of Zhu Chong's death, the Zhu family sent assassins to massacre Old Man Zhou and his gang.

But when the killers arrived, they found that the houses of Old Man Zhou's neighbors were empty.

When the killers were about to sneak into Old Man Zhou's yard, they found that the entire yard was protected by a protective talisman array and they couldn't get in at all.

When the head of the Zhu family received the report from the killers, he knew that he had hit a wall this time.

However, Zhu Chong would not let it go after being killed by Nangong Xi and the others.

So he headed towards the City Lord's Mansion overnight.

The next day.

Nangong Xi walked out of the room by herself. Old Man Zhou and the others were very curious as they didn't see anyone else.

"Girl, where are the others?" asked Old Man Zhou.

"They have gone out to do some work. Everyone should stay here for the next few days and don't go out. These foods should be enough for everyone to eat for a while." After Nangong Xi said this, he poured out a large pile of food from his space.

"Girl, what are you going to do?" Old Man Zhou looked at Nangong Xi worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Nangong Xi smiled confidently.

"We know that the girl is very powerful, but you'd better be careful." Old Man Zhou kept on admonishing.

"Okay." Nangong Xi nodded.

"What happened?" Zhou Qian's room door opened from the inside and she walked out.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Zhou Qian actually came out!

Seeing everyone looking at her stupidly, Zhou Qian finally reacted.

"I'm fine? I can walk!" Zhou Qian suddenly exclaimed.

Nangong Xi: ...

This girl is really slow to react. Her reaction time is too long, isn't it?

"Qian'er, you stood up again." Old man Zhou looked at her with red eyes.

"Yes, I finally stood up again." Zhou Qian nodded excitedly.

"Thank you, miracle doctor." Zhou Qian looked at Nangong Xi with gratitude.

"Just call me Miss Nangong." Nangong Xi said.

"Yes, Miss Nangong." Zhou Qian nodded excitedly.

"Grandpa, what happened? Why are everyone gathered here?" Zhou Qian looked at Grandpa Zhou.

So Mr. Zhou told her what happened to Zhu Chong yesterday.

"Zhu Chong is dead? Hahaha, this is really retribution." Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian suddenly laughed wildly towards the sky.

"I'm going to go out for a walk. You guys stay in the protective formation and don't go out." Nangong Xi looked at everyone and said.

"Miss Nangong, I'll accompany you." Zhou Qian said immediately.

"Your legs have just recovered, so you shouldn't walk too much. You'd better stay at home and have a good rest. Don't worry, I'll be fine." After saying that, Nangong Xi turned and left.

In fact, she felt that bringing Zhou Qian along was a burden, and she had to think about protecting her when something happened.

Besides, Nangong Xi was afraid that the way he handled things would scare Zhou Qian.

Because I was planning to go to the City Lord's Mansion openly.

If this city lord is of the same character as Zhu Chong, I will directly destroy the city lord's mansion.

After leaving Zhou's house, Nangong Xi asked for directions along the way and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

But before she reached the City Lord's Mansion, she was surrounded by a group of people.

"Did you kill Zhu Chong?" The people who surrounded Nangong Xi were from the Zhu family, and it was the head of the Zhu family who spoke.

"So what?" Nangong Xi looked at the Zhu family members calmly.

The people watching nearby gasped when they heard Nangong Xi's answer.

So arrogant!

So arrogant!

"If so, then go to hell." The head of the Zhu family shouted coldly and led his men to rush towards Nangong Xi.
