"Zheng."
Nangong Wushuang only spoke one word.
But that one word was enough.
Among the elders of the Dragon Country, only one person had that surname.
"Good."
Lin Xiao then began to communicate with Nangong Wentian.
The phone call was halfway through when both sides fell silent.
"Senior Nangong, I hope you tell me the truth."
This was the third time Lin Xiao had repeated this sentence.
Before this, Nangong Wentian had always hesitated to speak, never saying a word.
This attitude had already made Lin Xiao continue to be suspicious.
"I was in seclusion back then. By the time I came out, everything had happened... So many lives were paid for the Lin family's cultivation techniques, whether they were Lin family members or others. Countless lives were lost." Nangong Wentian sighed deeply.
"Nangong Wentian."
This was the first time Lin Xiao had called him by his full name.
Even though he had been filled with deep-seated hatred back then, Lin Xiao had still maintained the basic respect for these elder seniors. He had investigated the incident back then and found that Nangong Wentian was not involved. But now, he realized that the information he had obtained back then was only what he was allowed to know.
Even with his current status and position, it was just information to give him some peace of mind.
Therefore, he could no longer control his killing intent.
Trading half of the Nangong family for the mastermind to live in freedom?
He did not agree with this.
"Sigh..."
Nangong Wentian sighed deeply once more. "This, I can only remind His Highness the Dragon King, Guan Er."
This answer was no different from Nangong Wushuang's.
Guan Er was none other than Zheng.
This made the answer very clear.
It was only that old man.
"You."
Lin Xiao hung up the phone and stared at Nangong Wushuang, who was slowly getting up from the ground. He said coldly, "You can go now."
"Yes..."
Nangong Wushuang quickly nodded. She knew that her purpose for coming here this time had been achieved.
Just as she reached the door and was about to leave, Lin Xiao's voice suddenly rang out: "Do you know what this means?"
"I know... But I don't want the Nangong family to take the blame for him in vain," Nangong Wushuang said in a deep voice.
The Nangong family's strength had declined sharply.
If it weren't for Nangong Wentian's presence, the Nangong family's control in the entire southern region might have plummeted to the lowest point.
In Huadu, there were already countless people who wanted to replace the Nangong family.
"Hate."
Lin Xiao understood. He let Nangong Wushuang leave.
Whether this matter was true or not, the relationship between the Nangong family and that person would be at rock bottom. Moreover, the forces controlled by that person would push the Nangong family into an abyss.
He slowly got up. It seemed he couldn't stay in this haven of peace for much longer...
There were some things he needed to deal with, and some people, naturally, had to go down to accompany his parents.
Suddenly, all his killing intent vanished. The coldness in his eyes disappeared. He raised his head and looked towards the second floor.
Luo Qinghan walked out.
"She's leaving just like that?"
Luo Qinghan watched Nangong Wushuang drive away. She walked up to Lin Xiao, entwined her arms around his neck, and looked into his eyes.
"She left after saying what she had to say. She's quite busy, after all," Lin Xiao said, as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on his face.
