“After failing to persuade your father, they harbored murderous intentions.” As Nangong Qiu spoke, he saw Nangong Mian’s expression become extremely unpleasant.
He looked at Huang Quan, but her expression remained indifferent, showing no change. It seemed as though she didn’t think what the Nangong family did was wrong, but…
After seeing the look in Huang Quan’s eyes, Nangong Qiu didn’t think Huang Quan would consider the Nangong family’s actions acceptable at all. She just seemed better at controlling her emotions than Nangong Mian.
She just didn’t show it, but she definitely blamed them.
Nangong Qiu sighed in his heart and continued, “Your father was then confined to a cell. After learning of this, he broke out of confinement and left the Nangong family with your mother.”
“At that time, your great-grandfather said, ‘Once you step out of the Nangong family, never come back.'”
“Your father complied.” Nangong Qiu looked at the two of them and said, “Before they disappeared, they never returned to the Nangong family, nor did they ever tell you about the Nangong family. It shows that he harbored resentment towards the Nangong family and his father.”
“I have a question.”
After listening to Nangong Qiu’s words, Huang Quan said lightly, “Since you were able to find information about us in such a short time, why didn’t you know for so many years? Why did you specially investigate after seeing me and my brother?”
“That was my grandfather’s order.” Nangong Qiu paused and said, “Your great-grandfather.”
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow, “How so?”
“The confinement cell was not far from where your great-grandfather was in seclusion, a place of purity for reflection. But the commotion caused by your father breaking out of the confinement cell was too great, so it alerted your great-grandfather.”
“The next day, your great-grandfather came out of seclusion and inquired about the matter. But by then, your father had already left with your mother, cutting off all contact. So when your great-grandfather learned about it, he scolded your father and ordered the entire Nangong family not to secretly investigate your father’s whereabouts, nor to pursue him.”
“At that time, your great-grandfather said to your father, ‘If you don’t think about how to improve your cultivation and only think about how to secure your position, but don’t realize that the stronger your strength, the fewer people will dare to bully you, since Qi’er has left, let him leave. If anyone privately investigates Qi’er and makes things difficult for him again, don’t blame me for not considering our relationship.'”
“Grandfather’s lack of consideration meant he would kill. After grandfather’s order, no one in the Nangong family dared to inquire about your father’s whereabouts again. So for so many years, people in the Nangong family didn’t know where your father had gone.”
“Until you appeared in the competition arena, attracting the attention of Big Brother, that’s when he sent someone.” Nangong Qiu paused here, then continued, “Actually, if it weren’t for Nangong Qingle, Big Brother wouldn’t have sent anyone to investigate you because of grandfather’s order.”
“What does Nangong Qingle have to do with this?” Nangong Mian frowned. “Is it because the Nangong family wanted Nangong Qingle to marry the Crown Prince of Di Qin, but the Crown Prince became close to Quan Quan instead?”
“Not quite.”
Nangong Qiu looked at them, his brow furrowed. “You know that the Nangong family wanted Nangong Qingle to marry the Crown Prince of Di Qin, but do you know why the Nangong family had this idea?”
“Because she has the bloodline of the Spirit race?” Nangong Mian asked.
“That’s one reason.” Nangong Qiu looked at them, his expression somewhat complicated. “Nangong Qingle came to the Nangong family as Nangong Qi’s daughter.”
At this, Nangong Mian stood up abruptly, looking at Nangong Qiu in shock. “What did you just say?”
