710: Chapter 699: Ning Fan Is Unhappy 710: Chapter 699: Ning Fan Is Unhappy Having learned of the recent movements of Andorra, the Pavilion Master of Mingwang Pavilion, Ning Fan mustered his spirits.
His enemies were increasing; it was one thing to have Mingwang Pavilion reveal its ‘Umbrella,’ but now because of the Shangguan Family, the Yunteng Family from Zang City had also emerged.
What Ning Fan feared most was the collision of these two forces, leaving him overwhelmed and unable to cope.
Thinking of the Yunteng Family’s affairs, Ning Fan couldn’t help but ask Chen Fengnan, “Mr.
Chen, have you heard of the Yunteng Family from Zang City?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Fengnan’s expression changed slightly, “The Yunteng Family from Zang City, you mean the one researching Evil Gu?”
“Exactly, that Yunteng Family!”
As Ning Fan spoke and pondered over the name Yunteng, a sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.
This Yunteng Family was the Shangguan Family’s backer and his enemy.
Reliable sources had indicated that people from the Yunteng Family had already arrived in Jiangcheng.
After the Shangguan Family recovered their Vital Energy there, they would most likely target him in an effort to regain face for the Shangguan Family.
Thus, Ning Fan had to be on guard.
“Mr.
Ning, how did you get involved with this Yunteng Family?”
Chen Fengnan had noticed that flash of sharpness in Ning Fan’s eyes earlier and asked worriedly.
He had heard of the Yunteng Family; their mastery of Evil Gu was eerily effective, killing invisibly.
Especially the rumors about Evil Gu, each more frightening than the last.
Therefore, knowing that Ning Fan had once again provoked the Yunteng Family, Chen Fengnan felt helplessly concerned.
“Here’s the situation.
The Yunteng Family is actually the Shangguan Family’s backer.
Twice now I have severely damaged the Shangguan Family, and now the Yunteng Family has sent people to Jiangcheng.
I suspect the Yunteng Family will not let this rest, so I wanted to warn you to be careful.
After all, with Mingwang Pavilion as a precedent, I cannot be certain that the Yunteng Family won’t cause trouble for you.”
As he finished speaking, Ning Fan’s expression became awkward.
Chen Fengnan originally didn’t have so many enemies, but because of him, he had been harassed by Mingwang Pavilion, and now a Yunteng Family researching Evil Gu had emerged.
With Mingwang Pavilion as an example, Ning Fan couldn’t guarantee that the Yunteng Family wouldn’t make a move against Chen Fengnan.
Therefore, it was necessary for Ning Fan to issue a warning.
After listening to Ning Fan, Chen Fengnan pondered seriously, thinking deeply about something.
“The Yunteng Family of Zang City, masterful in the art of Evil Gu, is said to have originated from Miao Jiang.
There are many rumors about them.
There was once a master who angered the Yunteng Family and was ultimately killed by them using Gu Insects, and it’s unclear when they made their move.
It’s said that at the time of death, there was no one around.
The Yunteng Family’s technique kills without a trace, and the manner of the victim’s death was extremely gruesome!”
Chen Fengnan spoke solemnly of the rumors about the Yunteng Family.
His knowledge of them wasn’t extensive, with much of it learned from hearsay, and mostly revolving around the Yunteng Family’s terrifying Gu Raising Technique.
The Yunteng Family of Zang City was shrouded in mystery, with centuries of inheritance specializing in the arts of Evil Gu, using covert and cruel methods.
The thought of being targeted by such people made it difficult to sleep at ease.
However, Chen Fengnan wasn’t angered by Ning Fan’s entanglement with the Yunteng Family.
Ning Fan was someone he valued, and now Chen Fengnan’s concern was how to deal with the Yunteng Family.
“Mr.
Ning, if you need help, let me know at any time, and I will also keep an eye on the Yunteng Family for you,” Chen Fengnan said, starting to pay attention to the matter.
One must be cautious with the Yunteng Family, not like the situation with Mingwang Pavilion previously.
Ning Fan nodded and, remembering that the Huo Family was keeping an eye on Jiangcheng, added, “The Yunteng Family now has people in Jiangcheng, but fortunately, someone is helping me keep watch.
As for Zang City, we should act according to our abilities; stirring the grass may startle the snake, which wouldn’t be good.”
“I’ll be wary of that.”
After discussing the Yunteng Family a bit longer, Ning Fan was ready to take his leave.
“If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave now.”
“Take care, Mr.
Ning.
If there’s any new information, I’ll let you know right away,”
After saying goodbye to Chen Fengnan, Ning Fan left his estate and went to look at the Shadow Team’s base in the suburbs.
He wandered around until the afternoon before returning to the company.
When he encountered Lan Kexin at the company, she was still somewhat shy.
Her face turned red the moment she saw Ning Fan.
After simply greeting her, Ning Fan went back to the security department.
In the security department, Huo Zhanyuan happened to be there.
Ning Fan didn’t even have to call him; the kid scurried over on his own.
“What’s up?”
Ning Fan asked, and Huo Zhanyuan’s face immediately fell.
Ning Fan’s cold attitude hadn’t changed at all, and it seemed to be directed only at him.
However, Huo Zhanyuan had thick skin.
He directly went behind Ning Fan and started to massage him with somewhat clumsy movements.
“Brother-in-law, it looks like you’ve just come back.
Let me give you a massage!”
It was another enthusiastic offer, but Ning Fan was used to it.
He brushed Huo Zhanyuan’s hands away and looked at him with a sense of revulsion.
“Let’s not with the big man-to-man massage, alright?”
If he wanted a massage, there was no need to ask for Huo Zhanyuan, this big guy.
Letting this kid massage him made Ning Fan feel all awkward, unable to accept it, both physically and mentally.
Huo Zhanyuan gave an awkward smile and didn’t insist anymore, not wanting to upset Ning Fan.
Ning Fan didn’t send Huo Zhanyuan away after that, and since he was here, Ning Fan decided to ask him about the Yunteng Family, “Let me ask you, what do you know about the Yunteng Family?”
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhanyuan’s expression instantly froze on his face.
He looked around to make sure there were no people nearby and then cautiously approached Ning Fan, whispering, “I don’t know too much…”
Ning Fan gave him a look, asking impatiently, “Then tell me whatever you know, all of it.”
“Uh, the Yunteng Family, they seem to be one of the four big families of Zang City?”
After saying this, Huo Zhanyuan went silent, and his tone seemed rather uncertain.
“So, that’s all you know?”
“Hehehe…”
Huo Zhanyuan chuckled awkwardly, looking at Ning Fan, his knowledge of the Yunteng Family was indeed very minimal.
Ning Fan curled his lip, thinking it over.
It made sense – Huo Zhanyuan wasn’t exactly diligent on a regular day; it was normal for him not to know about the Yunteng Family, and Ning Fan shouldn’t have expected anything from him!
“Forget it, have you gotten any new information from your old man?”
Ning Fan asked offhandedly, not holding any hope this time.
“Yes yes yes, of course, I heard that the Yunteng Family brought two people who seem to have a way to cure the injuries of Shangguan Tenglong and the others!”
“Hmm?”
