The Nangong family's mansion is located in the southernmost part of Panlong City. Marshal Nangong Lie personally drove the carriage. Naturally, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to show any signs of neglect. The carriage drove into Panlong City smoothly.
Opening the curtain of the carriage, Nangong Ruoli could not help but feel a flash of surprise in his eyes.
What a prosperous city! There are high and low pavilions in a well-proportioned manner. People are coming and going on the streets, which is extremely lively. There are also many vendors buying small things around, who are constantly shouting.
"Boy, how are you? How does this city compare to the Rain Master tribe?" Nangong Lie asked with a laugh.
Nangong Ruoli glanced at his mouth slightly and said: "It's a lot more lively, and it's much more elegant than the Yushi tribe, but it just lacks a kind of pure natural tranquility!"
Nangong Ruoli said it right, even in the previous life, people in big cities often yearned for the kind of rural life with mountains and rivers, but he, who had lived in a mountain village since he was a child, really didn't have much interest in this place.
Nangong Lie asked for trouble and turned away, but Nangong Ruoli's view of him changed a bit. Pedestrians and vendors who were passing by would bow and salute when they saw this unscrupulous father, which shows that he
Very popular among civilians.
The quality of a person is not what status he can achieve or what kind of hero he becomes, but the evaluation of civilians.
Common people will always rely on the people they like in their hearts, and now, my father, Nangong Lie, may barely be able to do this.
Nangong's mansion is very spacious. At this moment, right at the main entrance of the mansion, a beautiful middle-aged woman is standing there, looking at the approaching carriage, the haze between her brows can't help but disappear in a flash.
"He's just a wild boy, but he actually asked you to drive to pick him up. What a big deal. Huo Ting, now that you mother and son are reunited, I want to see how capable you are as a little brat!" said the middle-aged beauty.
The woman's heart.
This beautiful woman is the daughter of the current emperor of the Longteng Empire, Princess Liuyun, Nangong Lie's other wife.
Next to Princess Liuyun, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was standing next to him. The boy's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Nangong Lie's. He was tall and round, with a very strong figure.
No need to think about it, this boy is Nangong Ruoli's eldest brother, Nangong Mingri.
"Ms. sir, you're back!" Princess Liuyun walked towards the carriage from a distance and said with a smile.
"Dad——" Nangong Mingri also bowed and saluted.
Nangong Lie jumped off the carriage, laughed and hugged Nangong Mingri, saying: "Come back, Mingri, this time dad has brought your brother back. This kid is relatively weak, you have to take good care of him.
Don’t let him disgrace my Nangong family!”
The pride in Nangong Mingri's eyes flashed away. He was most afraid that his younger brother Nangong Ruoli, whom he had never met before, would surpass him in cultivation or other aspects. Now that he heard his father mention it, he naturally understood.
"Of course it is right. If anyone dares to bully his younger brother, I, Nangong Mingri, am not someone to be trifled with!" With a mother like Princess Liuyun, Nangong Mingri is naturally very scheming.
However, all his actions were clearly seen by Nangong Ruoli in the carriage. Nangong Ruoli also frowned secretly in his heart. Nangong Mingri, you'd better pray not to offend me. I'm not someone to be bullied.
"Ruoli, let's get off the carriage too!" Huo Ting took Nangong Ruoli's arm and stepped out of the carriage. She came to Princess Liuyun and saluted Yingying, "Sister, please wait again! Ruoli, this is
Your aunt!"
"Auntie!" Nangong Ruoli shouted with a smile, and at the same time bowed and saluted. He still knew these etiquettes, at least he couldn't let others look down on him.
"Ruoli, right? You've grown so big, but this is your first time going home? Look, I said the rain master tribe's backcountry will make us miserable. Ruoli, we are so thin, this time we go home.
, I will definitely make you white and plump!" Princess Liuyun seemed extremely approachable, holding Nangong Ruoli's hand and said with a smile.
Huo Ting's face changed slightly. The meaning of Princess Liuyun's words was obviously to belittle the Yushi tribe, but it was not appropriate to argue with him at this time.
But Huo Ting's concession did not mean that Nangong Ruoli also gave in. The cynical smile on her face spread again and she said: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. The folk customs of the Yushi tribe are simple, which is very suitable for my character. If I have the opportunity, aunt
You must also go and live there for a while, there is abundant spiritual energy there, and it is said that it can also purify people’s souls!”
Princess Liuyun's face darkened when she heard this. This boy is so cunning and his words are not distasteful at all. Is he really a good piece of material?
Nangong Lie was not a fool, and he could naturally hear the tit-for-tat in the two people's words, and he immediately said: "Okay, Ruoli, you just came back, ask your mother to make good arrangements for you, and have a good rest after a long journey.
, in a while, I will send you to Longteng Royal Academy!"
"Dad, will my brother also go to the Royal Academy? That's great, we brothers can make a living there again!" Nangong Mingri shouted as if he had no scheming.
Nangong Mingri is three years older than Nangong Ruoli, but he is more than half a head taller than Nangong Ruoli, and in terms of strength, he can probably shake Nangong Ruoli's body.
Therefore, seeing Nangong Ruoli who was so thin, Nangong Mingri also laughed and walked forward, patted him twice on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, as long as I am here, no one dares to bully him."
you!"
Nangong Ruoli is not an eleven-year-old boy. Nangong Mingri’s eyes flashed when he said these words, and he secretly sneered a few times in his heart. Then he also smiled and said: "Thank you very much, brother!"
The family ate some hurried dinner, and as it got late, they went back to rest. Nangong Ruoli lived in her mother Huo Ting's small courtyard.
The courtyard is not big and is planted with various flowers and plants, making the entire courtyard very warm. From this courtyard, you can see the character of its owner. Of course, Nangong Ruoli also likes this green feeling very much.
"Ruoli, why did you talk to Princess Liuyun like that today? You don't understand the character of their mother and son, and you are no match for them!" Huo Ting closed the door and said.
Nangong Ruoli chuckled and said: "Mom, don't worry, your son is not as simple as you think. Of course, their little tricks can't be hidden from me. I will be careful myself!"
For this kind mother, Nangong Ruoli had nothing to hide, and her words were sharp.
Huo Ting couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard the words. At this moment, her son's eyes were shining, not at all like the cynical young master who grew up in Jinshan.
Huo Ting sighed quietly, knowing that this son might really be as he said, not that simple, otherwise he would never be able to disguise his true character in front of outsiders.
"Son, I haven't been with you since I was little, so I don't know what you are hiding, but I just hope that you won't be harmed in the slightest. You are my son and your life!" Huo Ting said.
"Mother——" Nangong Ruoli suddenly felt the urge to cry. You are mother's life. What a great maternal love! Looking at her mother's loving eyes, at this moment, what else could Nangong Ruoli say?
Woolen cloth?
The mother and son chatted until very late, and Nangong Ruoli just left his mother's room. However, his father, Nangong Lie, didn't seem to like his little son very much. He hadn't been here since he got home.
Of course, Nangong Ruoli doesn't take it seriously, because he knows the rules of survival in this world. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Even his father is the same. Between himself and his eldest brother, there will always be one who will inherit the Nangong family.
foundation, but now it seems that Nangong Mingri has a great advantage over himself.
Nangong Ruoli didn't care about this. He didn't like the Nangong family. What he wanted was everything he created with his own hands.
There was no words for the whole night, and in the early morning of the next day, before Nangong Ruoli got up, a loud sound of heying came from outside.
"Who the hell got up so early to practice kung fu and delayed my sleep!" Nangong Ruoli muttered as he put the quilt over his head.
The person who practices boxing outside is naturally Nangong Mingri. The Nangong family's Qi "Tenglong Jue" has now reached the second level. Nangong Mingri's cultivation at this time has also reached the third level of the earth level.
Fifteen-year-old Nangong Mingri has already reached the second level of Earth-level cultivation. Such an achievement is the leading genius in the Soaring Dragon Empire, and he is known as the second genius among the young people in the Soaring Dragon Empire.
Nangong Lie stood aside, watching the long sword in General Nangong Mingri's hand dance with golden light, a smile appeared on his face, and he kept nodding.
Nangong Mingri's achievements made him very happy. At least there was a successor to the Nangong family. This was something that made him happy. Originally, what he hoped most was that the heir would be his and Huo Ting's child.
But when he saw Nangong Ruoli for the first time, Nangong Lie rejected his idea. Nangong Ruoli was not only physically fit, but as Yushi Hongfei said, he could not master the "Heaven Changing Art" after months of practice.
How much better could his qualifications be?
Moreover, this kid is extremely lazy and is still lying on the bed, looking like a playboy. At first glance, it seems that Yushi Hongfei has been spoiled by the Yushi clan.
But he couldn't say anything. After all, he was his own flesh and blood. If he was really strict with him, I'm afraid Huo Ting would fall out with him soon.
He had no choice but to let him do it. Fortunately, the Nangong family's wealth was still enough for him to squander, so while he was disappointed in him, Nangong Lie's expectations for Nangong Mingri also increased.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Nangong Ruoli got up under his mother's persuasion. He hurriedly washed up and ate the breakfast brought by his servants. His mother had been waiting for him in the room for an hour.
"Ruoli, I will take you outside today. You have just arrived here and are still a little unfamiliar with it. By the way, I will help you register at Longteng Royal Academy and go to school next year!" Huo Ting walked over and said softly.
