"I know... but I don't want the Nangong family to take the blame for him in vain," Nangong Wushuang said solemnly.
The Nangong family's strength had plummeted.
If it weren't for Nangong Wentian holding the fort, the Nangong family's control over the entire southern region would have likely fallen to its lowest point.
In Huadu, countless people were already eager to replace the Nangong family.
"Hate."
Lin Xiao understood and let Nangong Wushuang leave.
Whether this matter was true or false, the relationship between the Nangong family and that person would plummet. In fact, the forces under that person's command might push the Nangong family into an abyss.
He slowly stood up. It seemed he couldn't stay in this haven of pleasure for long…
There were things he needed to handle, and certain people would naturally have to descend to accompany his parents in death.
Suddenly, all his killing intent receded, the coldness in his eyes vanished. He looked up towards the second floor.
Luo Qinghan walked out.
"She's leaving already?"
Luo Qinghan watched Nangong Wushuang drive away from outside. She walked up to Lin Xiao and wrapped her arms around his neck, gazing into his eyes.
"She left after finishing her business, she's quite busy," Lin Xiao said, as if nothing had happened, a faint smile still on his face.
No matter what, he didn't want his current family to be involved, so he wouldn't tell Luo Qinghan anything.
"I thought I sensed... some disturbance just now." Since cultivating with Lin Xiao, Luo Qinghan's senses had improved greatly. She could feel subtle changes in temperature and killing intent.
Just now, the temperature in the living room hadn't yet risen.
"The air conditioner seemed to have malfunctioned just now," Lin Xiao said, pointing to the central air conditioning vent above them. "That's why the temperature was so low."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao picked up his phone and contacted someone to come and inspect it.
Luo Qinghan stared into Lin Xiao's eyes, then softly said, "You have work to do, right?"
"Mm… you know, my status is special," Lin Xiao shrugged helplessly.
"Of course I know, my husband is a great hero of Longguo."
As she spoke, Luo Qinghan leaned into Lin Xiao's chest affectionately. "Remember, you still have me, and Xuan'er. You must protect your own life well."
"Of course I know… Wife, your husband is invincible now!" By her side, Lin Xiao was like a different person. He gently patted Luo Qinghan's back and then kissed her forehead.
"Boasting. If we're truly in love, you wouldn't dare to hit me, would you?" Luo Qinghan rolled her eyes at him.
"I…"
Lin Xiao was about to say he could win, but then he hesitated.
"You hesitated. Are you actually planning to hit me?" Luo Qinghan's eyes widened instantly.
"No, no! Of course not!"
"Then why did you hesitate!"
"I…"
"If you can't answer, it means you're planning domestic violence!"
Lin Xiao quickly grabbed her hands and then leaned close to Luo Qinghan's ear, whispering softly, "Of course I'll hit you, your bottom."
"You…"
Instantly, Luo Qinghan's face turned red, and she went limp in Lin Xiao's arms.
"Since I have work to do soon… Wife, do you think we could cultivate together again tonight? It would be a good way to help you maintain your beauty."
