Nangong Zhe had never expected that this woman's martial arts would be so high. Previously, when she had been sitting on the bed, he hadn't been able to see anything. But now, he finally understood what it meant to be secretive. The moment the woman made her move, Nangong Zhe swiftly pushed her away!

Outside the courtyard wall, there were two people lying on the ground, listening intently. "The atmosphere here is so intense, could it be that it's a success?"

A'Cui's eyes widened, "You drugged it again?"

"If it's not like this, how can it be completed so quickly? All this time waiting for Young Master to figure it out himself, I think even if I lie on the edge of the coffin, he still might not succeed! " The granny sweeping the floor giggled, "Did you hear that? The commotion here was huge, it must be true! "Enough, I have to hurry and burn some incense for the madame." Pausing for a moment, the granny sweeper looked suspiciously at A-Cui, "Didn't you tell us not to join in the fun? What are you doing in the corner? "

A-Cui rolled her eyes, "I'm not the only one listening to you from the corner of the wall!"

When he turned his head, the entire Nan Gong Residence was leaning on the wall and looked up at the two of them.

The granny sweeping the floor blinked her eyes, "Disperse, if you hear too much about this kind of women's room, the president's ears will be pierced through by needles and needles!" He had to leave quickly, lest the young master find out and cause him to lose interest. "If you ruin your young master's mood and prevent me, an old woman, from seeing you, I'll break your ears!" After saying that, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and left. She still had to report this good news to Madam!

The crowd dispersed. From the looks of it, the Nangong Imperial Clan would have good news soon!

However, he did not know that the two people in the room were fighting to the point where they were unable to bear the fight. The Nangong Family's sabresmanship was so strong that even the martial arts world feared it! Nangong Zhe had already pinned the lady down and their gazes met. When experts met, the slightest underestimation of the enemy would bring about death. Therefore, at this time, no one dared to relax their guard.

As a result, no one dared to let go of each other. The two of them tightly pressed against each other, staring at each other.

"Can't you hear what's going on outside?" She gritted her teeth.

Nangong Zhe stared into her beautiful eyes, which were brimming with the joy of victory, "You sure are courageous, knowing that I have an ambush here and you still dare to stay here. Judging from your martial arts path, you seem to be someone from the Devil's Palace! I never thought that the Emperor would be able to extend his hand into the martial arts world while being trapped in the palace for a long time.

"So what?" She sneered, "Now you even dare to touch someone from the Demon Palace, isn't that also impressive? The Nangong Family had a grudge with the Demon Palace, do you know what the result would be? We are not some respectable and upright sect, nor are we some honorable people, so … If they had their eyes on the right direction, they would never let go. However, if Lord Nangong were to go and plead with the Emperor, and have the Emperor plead for you, the Nangong family would most likely be able to survive! "

"Witch!" Nangong Zhe shivered.

"That's right, we are the witch!" Her eyes were filled with seductive enchantment, "However, bewitching women have their own benefits. We do not have hearts, nor do we have any weakness. Lord Nangong, what do you think? " She intentionally placed her soft chest on top of his body, causing Nangong Zhe to immediately let go.

While it was true that Nangong Zhe had been around for a long time, he was still exceptionally meticulous with matters between men and women. His father had only ever married one woman in his life, and that was Nangong Zhe's mother. She had grown up with her father's arrogance towards her mother. If it wasn't for her mother's bad health … It was also because of his mother's death that his father became ill from longing. Within two years, he left with her.

This was how Nangong Zhe came to be. It was better to say that he didn't have anything better to say!

"Oh, you still feel embarrassed? The hands of the Yun Cui girls must have been rough from touching it, what are they pretending to be innocent for? " The woman's smile was shallow, "Lord Nangong, have you thought it through clearly?"

"What are you thinking about? Whose side are you on? " Nangong Zhe snorted coldly, "As an official of the Emperor, I naturally stand on the same side as him. Even if I am stripped of this skin, the Nangong Family has been loyal and virtuous for generations. I will protect the land of Da Xia even if it costs me my life!"

The woman let out a long breath, gently massaging her wrist that was hurting from his pinching, "In that case, our goal is the same. It's just that their methods are different. When you walk on the path of yang, we crossed the Bridge of Helplessness! But no matter what happens, I just hope that this world can calm down my battle prowess and allow me to live in peace! "

"Heh, your Demon Palace has killed countless people. Since when have you become so hypocritical? Do you really think I, Nangong Zhe, am a fool? Would I believe you just because you said "peace of the earth"? "The Demon Palace must have some ulterior motives. They want to use me, Nangong Jiu, as a knife. You are not qualified!" Nangong Jiu scoffed, "Since you barged into my house today, I will not hold grudges against you. Hurry up and leave!"

"Just walk out like that?" The woman laughed and asked, "Have you really thought about it? As long as I leave the Nangong Family, your enmity with the Regent's Estate can be considered to be huge! "Earlier, there was a conflict with the Prime Minister's Estate, and now, there's an additional Regent's Estate. Your four sects will be turned into a beehive by someone!"

Nangong Zhe narrowed his dangerous eyes, "Why are you blabbering so much, why aren't you scram? Whether I'll be turned into a hornet's nest has nothing to do with the Demon Palace. Don't let anyone catch you red-handed when you leave the Nangong Residence and ruin the good news for the emperor! If that's the case, then the higher ups will blame you, and the one who can't bear the consequences will be you! "

"Since I can come, I can naturally leave as well!" She suddenly approached Nangong Zhe, her beautiful eyes glimmering with a glimmer of light. Her breath was like orchids as her eyes curved like the moon. She was laughing, "Remember my name. My name is — Nightfall!"

As soon as the voice fell, she pushed open the door and left.

"Snowy?" Nangong Zhe frowned slightly. When he came back to his senses, there was no trace of the snow outside. This person had disappeared without a trace. For a split-second, Nangong Zhe thought he had been fooled. Nightfall revealed the Devil's Palace's martial arts, but she did not reveal her true strength. Thus, Nangong Zhe understood that the woman was only testing him, testing the depth of his martial arts.

If he met her again, he might not be able to defeat her!

"Snowy?" He said her name again. This name was quite pleasant to hear, but its style of action was quite insidious. Nightfall wasn't something to be trifled with, but to know so much, it was likely that this woman held quite a high position in the Demon Palace. Knowing the Emperor, knowing the plans of the Demon Palace, and probably also knowing the identity of the young man who escaped, so …

Since the Main Courtyard was quiet, Nangong Zhe felt that there was no need to sleep tonight! It was not because of the Regent's Manor. After all, Dongfang Wenming did not have any direct evidence. He was a cautious person, so he definitely would not do something like this. Although the Four Great Imperial Clans were small, they were not to be trifled with. Moreover, the Nangong family had passed down the Life and Death Medallion from generation to generation. If they were forced into a corner, both sides would suffer.

After giving it some thought, Nangong Zhe blew out the candle. Immediately, the room turned pitch black.

The housekeeper and the granny sweeping the floor looked outside the main courtyard for a long time. Seeing that the lights in the room were out, they thought that they must be tired, so … The butler turned his head to look at the granny sweeping, "Tomorrow morning's stew will be ready. Give the lord some nourishment. Such a ruckus, it must be very damaging to his health."

The granny sweeping the floor rolled her eyes, "Is there even a need for you to say that? Besides, it was not something that could be conceived in a day and a night. It would definitely cause a ruckus. If she didn't make up for it this way, how would her future be good? The old bastard in the kitchen can be killed! "

"Recuperate well!" The butler left happily.

The granny sweeper let out a long sigh, "Definitely make up for it!"

Within the room, Nangong Zhe held his forehead in his hands … Again! However, the matter before him did indeed need to be properly dealt with. Since the Dongfang family did not know that someone had left the Nangong family, they were sure to take the blame! Although the Nangong Clan had no power or influence over the years, few people had ever set their eyes on Nangong Zhe. The little emperor Zhao Jing was considered the first person to do so!

Fortunately, nothing happened that night. It was eerily quiet inside and outside the capital, as if the previous tightness in the skin was only an illusion. However, the calmer he was, the more uneasy Nangong Zhe felt. Dongfang Wenming was not someone who just sat there and waited for death. The Prime Minister's Estate was also not an average clan. How could they let the Nangong Clan off so easily?

Early in the morning, the Nangong family's servants gathered outside the courtyard, looking at the tightly shut door as if they were looking at a mirror. As long as the door was opened, they would be able to jump in joy like it was New Year's! It was rare for a girl to spend the night in an adult's room.

However, this was not the case. The door was open, and there was no girl in the room from yesterday. Furthermore, there were bloodstains on the adults in the house, but they seemed to have already been bandaged.

The butler and the granny swept the room with their scouts. "Where is he?"

The granny sweep was stunned for a while, "He already made a move? How did he lose? How shameful! "

Nangong Zhe was taken aback. "Which side are you on?" I can only touch the bandage on my arm and say, "You are not allowed to spread what happened last night. Butler, go to the kitchen and find Ye Qing. I have something to ask him! "

"You're hurt too badly, do you need to make up for it?" the granny sweeper asked.

Nangong Zhe spat, "Can you not keep an eye on my waist? I have something to talk to him about, hurry up! "

The butler exclaimed and quickly ran towards the kitchen. That night, Qing Qing was a person of the martial arts world and had received a favor from the Nangong family. She came to the Nangong family to be a chef. In fact, Ye Qing's culinary skills were first class. In A Cui's words, even the emperor of the palace didn't have such blessings. He didn't have the chance to eat such delicious food!

Ye Qing was a handsome man. The so-called angering people by comparing people was most likely referring to him. Although he had been soaking in the kitchen all year round, his face was still as red as ever. His extended hand was even more delicate and slender than a girl's. At this moment, he had just finished preparing breakfast. He took off his apron and was about to take it to the main courtyard, but when he heard the butler say so, he picked up his breakfast and left immediately.

In the blink of an eye, the butler could no longer see any trace of Ye Qing. He thought to himself: How come this Qing Gong is so powerful? Faster feet?

"My lord!" Ye Qing brought in the breakfast and saw the injuries on Nangong Zhe's body, "What's going on?" He suddenly came to a realization. "Last night …"

"You were squatting in the corner last night?" Nangong Zhe cast a cold glance at him.

Ye Qing's beautiful face revealed a slight smile, "No way, I just happened to pass by!" Saying so, he sat down and shook off the white clothes on his body, stroking the creases on his sleeves as he smiled and asked, "The butler said you have something to talk to me about?"

"Who's Nightfall?" Nangong Zhe asked.

With a slight frown on her forehead, Ye Qing looked at Nangong Zhe, deep in thought, "Snowy?"

"Nightfall of the Demon Palace!" Nangong Zhe glared at him.

Ye Qing narrowed her eyes and stood up, "Are you saying that the woman from last night was from the Demon Palace?" His five fingers under his sleeve curled up slightly, and between his lips, he stroked his lips as he said, "Snowy?" "Could it be …"
