Chapter 420 Something About A Person

Xu Han strolled around for a while before returning to his mansion.

When he pushed open the door, Ning Zhumang was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking and pouring.

The white-browed and black-haired Sect Leader had quite the capacity to drink, and he had drunk Yan Zhan and Chu Chouli, two people who were known to be unable to pour a thousand glasses of wine, more than once, to the point that he was unable to find anything to drink.

Xu Han looked at the sky and guessed that it was already ugly. With the Sect Leader's good work and good rest, it was rare for him to stay up so late in the night in Xu Han's impression.

Xu Han had probably guessed that the Sect Leader was still worried about Ziyu.

He waved his hand and let the two sleepy little fellows fall asleep by themselves. He then walked to Ning Zhumang's side and sat down at the stone table. He poured himself a glass of sake, bowed to Ning Zhumang, and drank it in one gulp.

"Are you worried about Ziyu?" Xu Han asked.

Ning Zhumang seemed to have drunk quite a bit by himself. Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan had tried their best not to have an affair with each other. Xu Han's casual question was a clue. "I've already let her down. If something happens to Ziyu, I don't know how to deal with Ziyu."

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Since Second Martial Niang said that Ziyu is fine, I think she won't harm Ziyu with her relationship with the crescent moon girl you mentioned." Xu Han said with a smile. "Besides, although Second Martial Niang sometimes behaves strangely, she has a good heart."

Ning Zhumang nodded and said with a hesitant expression, "Of course I know this, but …"

Xu Han could roughly understand his mood. The so-called concern was chaotic. Even though he knew that he was certain, he couldn't help but panic at the one in ten thousand uncertainty.

Xu Han looked at the worried expression on Ning Zhumang's face. He suddenly stood up and patted his chest like Chu Chouli. He said sullenly, "Ai! Brother Ning can put your heart in your stomach if someone Xu guarantees you!"

Seeing this, Ning Zhumang was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. He naturally knew that Xu Han was doing this to make him happy. He raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Xu Han seriously, "Speaking of which, Ziyu is really lucky to meet a friend like you."

Xu Han chuckled and raised his glass to Ning Zhumang. He mocked, "Tonight is a beautiful night. Since Headmaster Ning is so elegant and interested in drinking here, why don't you tell me about the affair back then?"

Xu Han wasn't gossiping, but he was curious when he thought of the beautiful past of the usually unsmiling Sect Leader in front of him. That was why he asked this question.

Ning Zhumang, who had just drank a glass of sake, raised his head and glanced at Xu Han. He responded indifferently, "Rather than caring about my old debts, I think your brother Xu should think about how to deal with the people in front of him."

Hearing this, Xu Han immediately revealed a bitter expression. He put down his wine cup embarrassedly, feeling embarrassed that he could not steal chickens without eating rice.

Seeing this, Ning Zhumang naturally refused to let go of this opportunity. He took advantage of the victory and chased after him. He said again, "Zhen Yue has put in a lot of effort these past few days for you. He was beaten up by you early this morning and hasn't returned yet. I wonder where he is sulking at you? Why not go coax him?"

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but ask, "Zhen Yue hasn't returned yet?"

He clearly remembered that when he and Zhen Yue separated, it was only 11 o'clock, and he was still in the street with two gluttonous little fellows. He stayed for a while, but now it was time for him to be ugly, and he hadn't returned yet, causing Xu Han to be slightly uneasy.

"No? Chu Chouli had already dragged Brother Yan to an unknown place to drink wine. He would probably be drunk. Hu Ma and the others followed you on the front foot, and they followed behind. There was rarely any peace in this courtyard, only Master Wei and I, who were still recovering, were the only ones in the courtyard." Ning Zhumang replied confidently. In the end, he seemed to have recovered his senses. He looked at Xu Han strangely and asked, "What, have you seen her? Did you say something heavy to another girl?"

Xu Han shook his head hesitantly. He thought to himself that Zhen Yue should not have been in such a state when she left at that time.

Perhaps he was with Huma and the others.

Xu Han thought to himself, but this thought just arose, and a knock came from the door.

"Maybe she's back." Ning Zhumang said as he quickly walked to the manor gate and opened it.

But when he saw the appearance of the person outside, Ning Zhumang frowned, "Huh?"

It was an old man who was over half a hundred years old. In Ning Zhumang's memory, he did not remember the existence of such a face. However, Ning Zhumang clearly remembered the clothes worn by this old man with a smile on his face. It was a snow-white robe embroidered with fire-like scarlet clouds embroidered marks on his sleeves.

These were the clothes of the disciples of the Crimson Firmament Sect.

"This must be Ning Long, Hero Ning." However, the old man didn't seem to realize the suspicion on Ning Zhumang's face at all. He still asked with a smile.

Xu Han noticed the situation. He walked over and frowned when he saw the old man's clothes. With his temperament, he naturally wouldn't be too polite. He raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

The old man seemed to have anticipated such a scene. The smile on his face did not change at all because of Xu Han's bad attitude. He still smiled and said, "Then I think this is Young Master Xu? I've heard of him for a long time, but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to go to the Dragon Gate Meeting to see Young Master overwhelm the crowd and win the championship."

Ning Zhumang and Xu Han obviously didn't like the old man's attitude.

Therefore, they said again in the next moment, "If there is nothing else, please return."

"Haha." The old man was still smiling. He respectfully cupped his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, this little elder's sudden visit was to invite Young Master Xu to the Ancient Dao Tower on the orders of Elder Lu."

Xu Han and Ning Zhumang were stunned when they said this. They exchanged glances and saw an unbelievable expression in each other's eyes.

The so-called Hongmen Banquet and the so-called Weasel's New Year greetings to the chickens were mostly about this matter.

Based on their relationship with the Crimson Firmament Sect, the two of them were probably eager to kill each other with their disorderly sabers. This invitation trick was a bit clumsy.

"The Ancient Dao Pavilion is a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries come and go. I am only a foolish person. I do not have such good fortune. Old Sir, please go back." However, Xu Han was too lazy to investigate what the other party was up to. He rejected the invitation with a cold voice.

However, the old man who had obtained such a decisive recovery could not help but have no intention of parting, nor did he show any signs of embarrassment or disappointment.

He only said with some regret, "In that case, Miss Zhen can only rest in this Ancient Dao Tower for a night. After all, it's so dark that it's more or less dangerous for a girl to walk alone."

At this point, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked at Xu Han with a cold light flickering in his narrowed eyes.

"You're right, aren't you? Young Master Xu."

Hearing this, Xu Hanning's expression changed almost at the same time.

As for the two of them, their appearances in the old man's eyes caused the old man to change his previous humble and pleasant expression. He seemed to have grasped something, and a wisp of color appeared on his face.

He bowed and stretched out his hand towards the entrance of the mansion, saying, "Please, gentlemen."

Before coming here, he had done his homework. The spies responsible for monitoring Xu Han and the others had already sent news that Zhen Yue's relationship with Xu Han was not shallow. Seizing this point, he was most likely confident that Xu Han would take the bait.

As he had expected, Xu Han and Ning Zhumang were truly shocked after hearing this news.

But contrary to his expectations, just as Ning Zhumang was about to step out with a calm brow, Xu Han reached out and stopped him.

Xu Han's actions caused the old man to be slightly stunned, but he quickly concealed this strange expression and looked at Xu Han with a smile, "What? Young Master Xu is so relieved to leave Miss Zhen with me?"

Ning Zhumang also frowned at that time, but he knew that with Xu Han's temperament, he probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing. Therefore, he simply put up with it and looked at Xu Han.

"The Crimson Firmament Sect is a decent sect. Why should I worry? Since you have the ability to invite Miss Zhen to the Ancient Dao Tower alone, you can naturally send Miss Zhen back." Xu Han replied with a smile. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was careless.

At that time, the old man's expression changed. He clenched his teeth and stared at Xu Han for a long time before saying, "It's said that Young Master Xu is ruthless and ruthless. He is not a creature in a pool. Today, he really is extraordinary."

"I'm flattering you." Xu Han smiled and said. With a wave of his hand, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly closed by him.

Ning Zhumang stared blankly at all of this. Only after the courtyard door was closed for a few breaths did he regain his senses. He looked at Xu Han in puzzlement and asked, "Xiao Han, could it be that he really didn't save him from death?"

"Don't worry, Zhen Yue isn't in their hands." Xu Han replied indifferently.

"Not here?" Ning Zhumang was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "But Miss Zhen hasn't returned yet."

"This is Horizontal Imperial City. Even if the Crimson Firmament Sect had the guts, they wouldn't dare to use force here." As Xu Han spoke, he actually sat back on the stone table beside him and leisurely poured himself a glass of wine. He placed it on his lips and took a sip.

Ning Zhumang was still worried, "Even so, we can't guarantee that the Crimson Firmament Sect will use any despicable methods."

"If that's the case." Xu Han gently put down the wine cup in his hand and looked up at the Sect Leader. He smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it's not Miss Zhen's business."
