From Xing Nan's perspective, he could naturally see that the injuries on Uncle Chen's body were definitely man-made.
"Young Master, it was the old slave who accidentally hit a carriage, and he was not beaten by anyone."
Uncle Chen's eyes flickered. He wanted to say that he fell while walking, but how could he look so miserable when he fell while walking, so he said that he had hit a carriage.
"Did the Luo family do it?"
Xing Nan obviously didn't believe that a slow and cautious person like Uncle Chen would bump into the carriage. He thought of the Luo family for a moment.
"Yes, it was my Luo family who beat me."
At this time, a very proud voice came from outside the courtyard door, and then Luo Heng was seen filing in with a team of no less than ten Luo family guards.
Luo Heng is about the same age as Xing Nan, but he has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth. At this moment, he is dressed in brocade clothes and has a row of guards following behind him. He looks more like a member of aristocratic family than Xing Nan.
Young Master.
"This slave is really a coward. We are determined to take care of you, master and servant, and let you live in our Luo family's house. Yet he actually goes behind our Luo family's back and sells off our Luo family's private property. What if today?
If I hadn't hit him, the treasures in our Luo family's huge house would have been emptied by this dog slave!"
Luo Heng pointed at Uncle Chen, whose mouth was still bleeding, with a look of indignation and generosity.
"Luo Heng, you have gone too far! When did the palace of my Xing family become the private residence of your Luo family?"
Xing Nan had a stern look on his face. Although his body was still a little thin, he stood as straight as a gun.
"Hey, do you want to be like your dead grandfather and want to deny it? Your grandfather Xing Hao took a body tempering pill from our Luo family to save your life. Now you have saved your life, but why did you forget it?
What about the favor of my Luo family? Before your grandfather took away the Body Tempering Pill, he signed a certificate and pressed fingerprints in my Luo family. Even if this matter is reported to the Yamen, this house still belongs to my Luo family!"
Luo Hengyi's words were reasonable and well-founded. He walked around in the yard with a smile, and then said: "Since you two masters and servants are so ignorant, why do we, the Luo family, let you live in this house anymore?"
From now on, I will give you half an hour to move out of this house. After half an hour, anyone who enters this house without the permission of my Luo family will be deemed as trespassing on the private property of our Luo family."
Xing Nan's eyes narrowed. At this moment, he had another urge to rush forward and fight Luo Heng, but when he looked at Uncle Chen behind him, he stopped this ridiculous idea.
If he were to take action, he would never be a match for Luo Heng, a genuine ninth-grade warrior. What's more, the Luo family also has a group of guards, and among the guards there are strong warriors at the martial arts level. He can fight to the death for a piece of evil energy.
But if he is beaten to death, Uncle Chen will definitely not end well.
After a quick weighing in his mind, Xing Nan's expression gradually relaxed. He turned around and said to Chen Bo: "Take some time to clean up, let's... go!"
Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly entered the room, thinking to himself: "It seems that the young master has really matured."
The master and servant didn't have many things, and it was impossible for Luo Heng to allow them to take away the valuables in the house, so it only took a cup of tea for Uncle Chen to pack them up.
If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood. What you lose today will be repaid by your Luo family thousands of times in the future!
Amidst the laughter of Luo Heng and the Luo family guards, Xing Nan left the Xing family compound with Uncle Chen, who was seriously injured.
After going out, Uncle Chen turned back three times, obviously thinking about leaving. After all, he had lived in this house for decades.
Xing Nan didn't look back, not because he was willing, but because he didn't want to keep staring at his shame.
The demise of the Xing family was originally a topic of conversation for the residents of Blue Maple City before tea and after dinner. Now that Xing Nan was kicked out of the Xing family by Luo Heng, it will definitely become a topic that everyone talks about again.
"Young man, the old slave has been in the Xing family for many years. He has accumulated some money and bought a small house in the city. Why don't we settle there first."
The master and servant left the Xing Family Courtyard and looked around blankly. The cold wind as cold as a knife was blowing in waves. Uncle Chen, who had no martial arts skills and was seriously injured, immediately suggested.
Although the white snow covers the withered maple trees with blackened leaves in the city, it also leaves very few pedestrians on the streets, rendering the world a bit bleak and pale, just like Xing Nan's state of mind at this time.
"All right."
Xing Nan nodded and followed Uncle Chen to the south of the city. He passed a drug store on the way and asked Uncle Chen to buy some healing medicine.
Uncle Chen's small courtyard is indeed very small, not to mention compared to the small courtyard of the Xing Family Mansion. Even compared to the small courtyard of the Xing Family Mansion, this courtyard only has three tile-roofed houses, and a tree with branches and leaves in the center of the courtyard.
Not counting the lush old trees, there is almost no free space in the yard.
"I'll go in and clean up first."
Uncle Chen did not dare to neglect the young master, nor did he want to offend the young master because of the mess in the house, so he made a pretense to go ahead and tidy up the house.
"Uncle Chen."
Xing Nan called softly, and then said: "I suddenly remembered that there is something very important to do. You pack it first, and I will come back."
Uncle Chen didn't think much and replied, "It's cold outside, come back early" and then entered the house.
Xing Nan left the house, took a deep breath of cool air, and then resolutely walked towards the city gate.
He is leaving the city and won't be back for a while.
One is that he doesn’t want to see the Luo family’s arrogance causing trouble for him anymore, and the other is that he doesn’t want to implicate Uncle Chen anymore.
Uncle Chen has worked hard for the Xing family all his life, let him live a stable and comfortable life for a few years.
If Uncle Chen is still with him, Xing Nan estimates that Uncle Chen will be harmed by the Luo family sooner or later, and if he leaves, a family as powerful as the Luo family will not embarrass an old man who is over fifty years old and has no cultivation at all.
A big family also has a reputation. It may be justified to bully Xing Nan, who is also from a big family, but bullying a lonely old man will definitely attract criticism and criticism.
Stepping on the white snow and braving the cold wind, Xing Nan walked slowly towards the south gate of Blue Maple City. Wearing a warrior's coarse cloth, holding the Silent Shadow Sword that had lost its sword spirit, Xing Nan had the character of a lonely swordsman.
"First go to the Xing family's ancestral grave to pay homage to your grandfather."
As soon as he left the south city gate, Xing Nan had this idea.
"Xing Nan's wise nephew?"
Suddenly, Xing Nan heard someone calling him in front of him, and he slowly raised his head and looked over.
The person who called his name was a slightly fat middle-aged man. He knew this person and had some relationship with him.
This man is Xue Hongtao, the eldest son of the head of the Xue family, a fourth-grade swordsman. It is said that his father will pass on the title of head of the family to him soon.
Lan Feng's original big families were the Xing family, the Luo family and the Xue family. The Xing and Luo families were a martial arts family, while the Xue family was a kendo family.
For many years before Xing Hao became the head of the Xing family, the Xing family and the Luo family joined forces to suppress the Xue family because they were also martial arts families, making the Xue family's power in Blue Maple City weaker and weaker. This situation continued until Xing Hao
Things changed after I became the head of the family.
When Xing Hao was young, he had some friendship with Xue Dawei, the head of the Xue family. The two went hunting together in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts in the south, and also went to the Heiyun Yang in the west to fight with demons. They had many life-and-death friendships.
Later, when Xing Hao became the head of the Xing family, he no longer joined forces with the Luo family to suppress the Xue family. It was precisely because of his good relationship with the Xing family that Xue Dawei, who had mediocre qualifications, ascended to the position of the head of the Xing family and invited Xing Hao to a banquet.
, booked a baby wedding.
However, at that time, Xing Hao and Xue Dawei were both over fifty, and all their children had married, so they could only marry their grandsons and granddaughters.
There are many versions of the specific agreement that was made at that time. In short, according to the original agreement, Xue Hongtao's eldest daughter Xue Lanfeng is now Xue Nan's fiancée, and Xing Nan is Xue Hongtao's prospective son-in-law.
However, with the decline of the Xing family, no one mentioned this marriage anymore. Xing Hao even once said that this matter was just drunken nonsense and should not be taken seriously.
Xing Hao said that because he naturally did not want to embarrass the Xue family, but the Xue family had never said that they would cancel the marriage, let alone allow their family members to bully the Xing family or Xing Nan.
The attitude of the Xue family all along made Xing Nan quite satisfied, so at this moment he also respectfully saluted Xue Hongtao with clasped fists, and said politely: "It turns out that Shibo is calling my nephew. I wonder what Shibo's instructions are?"
Xue Hongtao walked closer with a smile, put an arm on Xing Nan's shoulder, and said, "It's freezing cold, where are you going, my dear nephew?"
Xing Nan replied: "My nephew wants to worship at the ancestral grave."
Xue Hongtao glanced at Xing Nan and said, "Since you are going to the ancestral grave to worship, why don't you bring a sacrifice?"
Xing Nan wanted to bring a sacrifice, but he didn't ask Uncle Chen for any money when he came out. Now he is really penniless and has nothing to lose.
Seeing Xing Nan's expression of embarrassment, Xue Hongtao did not ask any more questions, but said: "Since we bumped into each other today, how about my nephew come with me to visit Xue's house?"
Xing Nan frowned slightly. Although he didn't want to go, he couldn't refuse the kindness and said, "How can I disturb the tranquility of the Xue family?"
Xue Hongtao smiled nonchalantly and said: "My nephew is also the son-in-law of my Xue family. He is just visiting my Xue family, so why bother?"
As he spoke, Xue Hongtao had already taken Xing Nan's arm and walked towards the city together.
The Xue family's courtyard is located in Nancheng. It also has a vast courtyard and extraordinary grandeur. Just the two rows of sword-wielding swordsmen standing at the door can tell how powerful the Xue family is.
Xue Hongtao took Xing Nan into the gate of the Xue Family Mansion, and was immediately greeted by a group of servants and maids.
"Father! Did you forget to bring back red pink dew to your daughter this time?"
A beautiful shadow flew quickly from the depths of the Xue Family Mansion. As it advanced, a stream of ice-cold fragrance hit the face with snow foam.
The beautiful figure stopped in front of Xue Hongtao, and a handsome woman wearing a light green outfit appeared.
This woman is Xue Hongtao's daughter, Xue Lanfeng, who is engaged to Xing Nan.
