Before the scholar could leave, Nan Yu suddenly placed his hand on Ning Meng Yao's shoulder. He had caught an inconspicuous little worm on her shoulder.

"Take back this little thing that will never be able to reach great heights to prevent yourself from being embarra.s.sed," He said as he threw that worm towards the scholar.

The scholar's expression changed. He reached out and caught that worm flying to him. When he opened his hand, he saw that worm no longer had any life force.

His expression became ugly in an instant, this person…… The scholar's gaze landed on Nan Yu. That man with a cold expression was actually an expert, could he be a native of Southern Xinjiang?

Although he had such thoughts, he quickly dismissed it. It was quite impossible as he should know if someone from Southern Xinjiang was present.

Ning Meng Yao was originally surprised by Nan Yu's sudden appearance. Now that she knew his reason for being here, she understood that the scholar had placed something on her.

Her expression gradually turned icy cold and ugly in an instant.

"It seems that Ling Empire wants to make an enemy out of me. If that's so, then I shall go with that. Nan Yu, let's leave," Ning Meng Yao looked at that scholar whose expression had changed, and she turned around getting ready to leave.

The scholar looked at Ning Meng Yao's departing figure. Nan Yu just stood still looking at the scholar. With his icy expression, n.o.body knew how much he desired to kill that scholar.

That man was the one who had killed his family at that time.

Even if there were changes to his appearance, it wasn't significant.

His eyes gradually turned crimson and the slumbering Gu King in his body woke up due to his surging emotions.

The scholar suddenly felt his body becoming stiff. He put up his guard and looked at the man who was glaring at him coldly.

Up ahead, Ning Meng Yao frowned seeing Nan Yu not following her. She could feel his aura becoming dense.

She turned around and walked to his side. Sensing the dense menace in his aura, she furrowed her brows and quietly placed her hand on his back.

The cool sensation ran through his head like a spark and the redness in his eyes gradually subsided.

Ning Meng Yao placed down her hand after sensing that the menace around his body was no longer dense: "Let's return, Ling Empire still needs to think of how to give me an explanation."

"Yes, Sister-in-law," Nan Yu looked at Ning Meng Yao. He suddenly felt she was indeed a mysterious one, more mysterious than what they had thought of her.

The scholar had a sullen expression after seeing Ning Meng Yao and Nan Yu leave. Just earlier, if Ning Meng Yao did not turn around, he was really worried he would be killed by him.

"Pffft." The scholar spat a mouthful of blood.

He reached out and wipe the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth. His expression gradually became heavy, one of them was an expert who could suppress him to such an extent.

Ning Meng Yao brought Nan Yu back. Before they arrived at the Great General's Residence, Nan Yu suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, can you not tell the boss and the others about what happened earlier?"

"Do you have some sort of enmity with that person?"

"Yeah, he was the one who murdered my family," That scholar was the current King of Southern Xinjiang's subordinate. Furthermore, he played a powerful role. Nan Yu never imagined the King of Southern Xinjiang would send him over for the sake of the Gu King.

Not only did he send him over, he was aiding the Ling Empire's Prince. Just what were they up to?

"I know, I won't tell them, but I'm afraid you will often meet him in the future, I don't hope for today's incident to repeat itself, understand?" Ning Meng Yao looked at Nan Yu and asked in a serious tone.

She did not wish for their plans to spoil because of Nan Yu.

Nan Yu remained silent for a while before nodding: "I will control myself properly."

Ning Meng Yao nodded and acknowledged it, indicating she understood.

"That's good, let's go," Ning Meng Yao did not ask any more about Nan Yu's matter.

Seeing the two of them returning together, there was doubt in Qiao Tian Chang's eyes. He had a surprised expression: "Why are you two together?"

"We met on the streets, if he didn't coincidentally pa.s.s by, I'm afraid I would have brought something unnecessary back with me," Ning Meng Yao's eyes were filled with disgust just by the thought of that scholar.

She did not like to be threatened.
