762: Chapter 751: I Want to Eat You Into Poverty 762: Chapter 751: I Want to Eat You Into Poverty Teng Huayang might not be a good person, but he was definitely a good brother.
Upon hearing his sister Teng Feiyue’s name from Ning Fan’s mouth, his first reaction was that something had happened to Teng Feiyue.
Considering that the Yunteng Family was already an enemy of Ning Fan, Teng Huayang assumed the worst.
If Teng Feiyue had appeared before Ning Fan, would he have let her off the hook?
Therefore, Teng Huayang panicked.
He was like a madman, ramming into the still unopened cell door, his eyes wide with bloodshot wrath, his expression hideously fierce.
“If you dare lay a finger on her, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”
Thud, thud, thud—
Teng Huayang used his body and head to keep slamming into the cell door, his forehead already battered and bloody, with a long streak of blood running down his face.
Ning Fan watched Teng Huayang indifferently and finally smiled.
Teng Huayang’s reaction surprised him.
Initially, he had thought that Teng Feiyue was just overly naive, but now, seeing Teng Huayang’s frantic madness, he understood that, with such a caring brother, only a cold-blooded creature could be indifferent towards him.
Watching Teng Huayang’s current behavior with a tinge of amusement, Ning Fan envied the sibling bond between Teng Huayang and Teng Feiyue for a moment.
This was what a normal family relationship should be like.
Of course, if Ning Fan knew just how indifferent the father of Teng Huayang and Teng Feiyue was, he might have had a different opinion.
After a moment of reflection, once Teng Huayang had nearly exhausted his strength, Ning Fan explained, “I haven’t hurt her, she has already returned to Zang City.
Don’t worry.”
A flicker of doubt passed through Teng Huayang’s eyes.
He wiped the blood from his face, looking at Ning Fan with suspicion, apparently not fully trusting his words.
It didn’t matter whether he believed it or not.
Ning Fan shrugged, unlocked the cell door, and set Teng Huayang free.
Teng Huayang stepped out of the cell with his face still twisted in ferocity, saying nothing, but Ning Fan could tell from his gaze that the threat to haunt him as a ghost was sincere.
If Ning Fan truly did anything harmful to Teng Feiyue, this man would indeed be resolved to retaliate.
Just a moment ago, Teng Huayang had been as despondent as a dead dog, and yet, simply because Ning Fan mentioned Teng Feiyue, the man had completely transformed.
Ning Fan wanted to laugh but couldn’t, only sighing inwardly at the complexity of this man.
“Clean yourself up.
I can also tend to the wound on your head.”
“…”
Still silent, Teng Huayang followed behind Ning Fan.
Now bereft of his martial prowess, he was incapable of anything, so Ning Fan didn’t bother shackling him—there was no need.
“Are you a child throwing a tantrum?”
Ning Fan couldn’t help but mutter, only to be met with Teng Huayang’s eyes full of hatred.
The speed of the other man’s transformation was astonishing, making Ning Fan feel somewhat incredulous at the moment.
But Teng Huayang hadn’t lost his reason to anger.
After calming down a bit from before, he no longer dared to act rashly around Ning Fan.
Ning Fan found Teng Huayang some fresh clothes, simply treated his injuries, let him take a bath, and for the first time in several days, Teng Huayang didn’t have to sleep in a cell but in a warm environment.
But this didn’t mean he slept well.
Preoccupied by Teng Feiyue’s situation, Teng Huayang had a restless night and managed only a few hours of sleep.
When morning came, Ning Fan intended to wake Teng Huayang, but found the man already awake.
Changing his approach, he said directly, “If you don’t want breakfast, then we can set off now.”
“I’ll eat, why wouldn’t I eat?
I’ll eat you out of house and home!”
Teng Huayang glared at Ning Fan huffily.
Now that he was already a prisoner, he wasn’t willing to belittle himself any further.
Just like last night, his behavior was like that of a child, and Ning Fan couldn’t help but conceal a smile.
…
In Jiangcheng, at the Shangguan Family’s residence, many family members began their martial exercises early in the morning.
Shangguan Tanglong had been waiting outside Teng Zhuhai’s door early on, with Teng Nan and Teng Bei flanking the door just like guardian deities.
Half an hour earlier, Shangguan Tanglong was already waiting here.
There had been no movement from within the room, leaving him clueless as to when Teng Zhuhai would awaken.
Yesterday, Teng Zhuhai had said that he would check on Shangguan Tenglong’s condition today, and because of this, Shangguan Tanglong had had a sleepless night, constantly wondering what Teng Zhuhai intended to do to his younger brother.
Could it be that he had a way to save him?
Of course, he didn’t rule out the possibility that Teng Zhuhai wanted to use Gu Insects to control Shangguan Tenglong.
In any case, he couldn’t afford to be negligent, and at the same time, he couldn’t afford to offend Teng Zhuhai lightly.
Creak—
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Teng Zhuhai’s figure appeared before Shangguan Tanglong.
His breath was calm, his footsteps steady, and the most surprising thing was that a moment ago, Shangguan Tanglong hadn’t sensed that Teng Zhuhai was actually right on the other side of the door.
Although both were at the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm in their cultivation, there were still differences in strength within the same realm, and Teng Zhuhai was clearly one of the outstanding individuals at the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm, much stronger than Shangguan Tanglong could guess.
“Yunteng Family Head, the morning meal is prepared.
Would you like to proceed to the great hall to dine?”
Shangguan Tanglong did not mention the matter of meeting Shangguan Tenglong but respectfully asked Teng Zhuhai if he would like to have breakfast first.
Teng Zhuhai nodded slightly and hummed softly.
After receiving a response, Shangguan Tanglong immediately led the three to the great hall, where tables had already been set with delicately flavored delicacies, perfectly suitable for breakfast.
For breakfast, Teng Zhuhai and his two companions simply ate a little before letting Shangguan Tanglong lead them to see Shangguan Tenglong.
Arriving at Shangguan Tenglong’s resting room, Teng Zhuhai walked ahead, pulled back the curtain, and saw Shangguan Tenglong lying weakly on the bed.
“Yunteng Family Head, forgive my impoliteness—I am unable to welcome you,” Shangguan Tenglong said weakly, but Teng Zhuhai shook his head to show he didn’t mind and examined his whole body.
He took hold of Shangguan Tenglong’s arm to take his pulse.
Shangguan Tenglong’s pulse was extremely weak, with almost his entire body paralyzed.
Continuing this way would only become more dangerous, and even if his life could be saved, he would probably have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.
“I heard that you obtained Holy Medicine from Ning Fan?”
“That’s right.
If it weren’t for Ning Fan, my younger brother wouldn’t still be lying in bed!”
Shangguan Tanglong spoke with tears in his voice, revealing a deep hatred for Ning Fan.
Teng Zhuhai stroked his chin, pondering carefully, and gained a deeper understanding of Ning Fan’s strength.
“Quite a man, this Ning Fan.
I shall meet him tomorrow.
Don’t you worry,” Teng Zhuhai said.
“Yes, thank you, Yunteng Family Head, for taking charge on behalf of my Shangguan Family!”
