Nangong Wushuang was still observing her surroundings warily. She had a feeling that the fellow from just now could hide in shadows, but she couldn't sense the slightest trace of his presence. She was afraid that this bizarre individual would suddenly emerge.
To her surprise, Xun'er now said that the thing had left.
"The bad guy is gone?"
Nangong Wushuang quickly asked.
"Yes! That bad guy just now went from there..."
Xun'er pointed to a path along the wall, indicating the route the black shadow had taken when it left.
"Phew..."
Nangong Wushuang immediately let out a sigh of relief. She quickly said, "Fortunately, this person doesn't seem to have intended to attack us."
"Miss Nangong... judging by your expression, was this person difficult to deal with?" Luo Qinghan could clearly see the relieved look on Nangong Wushuang's face.
This was somewhat different from the Nangong Wushuang she knew, who was said to be peerless.
"Yes," Nangong Wushuang replied truthfully. "If Xun'er hadn't warned me, I wouldn't have even known where this person would appear from. I've never heard of or seen such a way of concealing one's presence."
She suspected that the person just now could hide in shadows, but she had never encountered such a technique in her life. Perhaps only Nangong Wentian could shed some light on it.
"Is that so..."
Luo Qinghan remained calm. She picked up Xun'er and said to Nangong Wushuang, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Nangong. It's getting late, so perhaps you should rest early."
"Okay."
Watching Luo Qinghan take the child upstairs to rest, Nangong Wushuang found a spot in the living room to sit. She sent a message to Lin Xiao about what had just happened.
It was best to leave these matters to Lin Xiao to handle.
She had originally planned to return after settling things here, but now she suddenly felt hesitant to leave.
There must be something in this mansion that the black shadow feared, otherwise, with such a good opportunity, he shouldn't have shown no intention of making a move.
Her safety was guaranteed here.
In the past, she might have possessed that "peerless" spirit, but now...
In this short span of less than half a year, she had witnessed too many things she had never seen before.
The Nangong family had also gone from being the largest family in the south to being on par with other so-called first-tier families in this short period.
She had also personally witnessed Lin Xiao's strength, and Lin Xiao's followers... her own talent might not even be superior to those around Lin Xiao.
What about being the most talented person of the younger generation in the Nangong family?
What about being full of potential for the future?
Only after seeing those people firsthand could one understand what true genius was.
And Lin Xiao, *that* kind of person, was the true genius. Someone like her was merely a follower of a genius.
Even...
She looked upstairs. The profoundness of Luo Qinghan's innate qi at this moment was already comparable to her own.
And the first time she came here, she hadn't sensed any aura from Luo Qinghan at all.
Was this the change Lin Xiao brought about...
Geniuses often subtly change everything around them, possessing the ability to alter an era.
Lin Xiao was clearly one such individual.
Without waiting long, Nangong Wushuang suddenly heard something fall outside.
