The Baiyang Inn at night was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.
Including the dead bodies that were brutally eaten in the backyard, there were already no less than ten corpses in this small roadside inn. Add to that the corpses of three huge pig monsters, and it was a completely haunted scene.
Any normal person would not stay in such a place for long.
But at this moment, Nangong Shi had no choice.
"What happened to this person?"
In the guest room on the second floor, looking at the unconscious Chu Li, the proud daughter of the Nangong family fell into confusion.
Chu Li fell down, and fell very suddenly.
It can be said that he pushed the golden mountain and overturned the jade pillar.
He was obviously a master who killed the post-natal realm monster with one sword before, but he suddenly fainted like this. Normal people would be suspicious.
At first, Nangong Shi also thought so, thinking that the mysterious man of the Chu family was exposed by her lies, so he pretended to be unconscious to escape.
Such hypocritical behavior made her furious.
But soon, she found something wrong.
As he fell to the ground, the aura of the mysterious man in the hat quickly wilted. Not to mention a warrior, he was even worse than an ordinary person!
"Could it be that he is really ill?"
Half-believing and half-doubting, Nangong Shi could not help but walk forward and lift up the bamboo hat. The next moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He saw a handsome young man inside the bamboo hat, so handsome that even women would feel ashamed of him. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was handsome like a jade tree in the wind, but his face was sickly pale, as if he was seriously ill.
"This man is actually about the same age as me! ?"
"And he looks extremely weak"
"In this state, he could actually chop off the pig demon's head with one sword?"
Looking at the unconscious Chu Li, Nangong Shi was shocked.
After the inspection by the doctors accompanying the team, they confirmed Nangong Shi's idea.
"Miss, although this person is a martial artist in the acquired realm, he is physically weak and has a flawed destiny. I'm afraid that all his strength was used in the previous sword strike, and now he must rest."
After hearing this, Nangong Shi could only take Chu Li to rest in the Baiyang Inn temporarily, but his heart had already exploded.
Because after searching his body, Nangong Shi already knew his identity, it was Chu Li, the son of the Chu family!
That is, his nominal fiancé!
Glancing at the sickly young man on the bed, Nangong Shi couldn't help but turn his eyes away, and felt a burst of heat on his face.
Although he had heard that the young master of the Chu family was born with a good appearance, he didn't expect it to be so good-looking.
But this is not the point!
The point is that this Chu Li seems to be different from the rumors.
Chu Li, the eldest son of the Chu family, seemed to have disappeared inexplicably since a few years ago. This has been noticed by some people, and there are many rumors.
For example, Chu Li had bad conduct and poor martial arts talent, and was eventually hidden by the Chu family.
But now it seems that this is nonsense!
If Nangong Shi remembers correctly, Chu Li should be the same age as her, but he is already a warrior in the late stage of the acquired realm, and he is still in such a weak body.
"Although I have reached a certain level because of my family's secret skills, I have reached the late acquired level at this age, so I am by no means without martial arts talent."
Looking at the sickly Chu Li with a frown, Nangong Shi was puzzled. The maid Xiao Tao on the side couldn't help but said:
"Miss, since it’s not a question of martial arts talent, it should be a question of character. With such a face, someone from the Chu family might be a libertine!"
Little Tao Yan said this with certainty, looking at Chu Li with alert eyes.
In the imperial capital, there are always some young people from various aristocratic families. Although they are very talented in martial arts, they are extremely dandy.
They do evil, bully others, and force others. It can be said that he committed all kinds of crimes when he came to power. Although Emperor Wu Zong punished a group of people, many people still escaped, and maybe Chu Li was among them.
However, after hearing these words, Nangong Shi shook his head slightly.
"No, there shouldn't be any big problem with his character."
"Why do you say that, Miss?"
Xiao Tao was surprised. Nangong Shi heard this and said:
"This character can be seen from the swordsmanship he uses."
"The Chu family's sword technique for repelling demons may not seem to require high standards, but my father once said that this is the sword of righteousness, and only people with noble character and a heart for the world can cultivate it to a high level."
"Previously, when he drew his sword, his sword energy was as bright as a rainbow, and he brought with him an awe-inspiring righteousness. He could defeat demons and slay demons. I am afraid he has already reached the stage of small success."
"How could such a person have any problem with his character?"
Hearing these words, Xiao Tao was shocked.
This was the first time she heard her young lady praise someone so much.
Turning to look at the young lady beside her, Xiao Tao noticed that Nangong Shi's eyes looked at the boy on the bed with a rare softness.
"Madam, do you think those rumors are untrue?"
"Yeah, but it should be true that Chu Li was squeezed out in the Chu family, otherwise......How come no one from the Chu family has come yet?"
Opening the window and looking at the empty official road in the dark night, Nangong Shi could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
"Although Chu Li is hated by his own family, he is still a member of the Chu family, the son of Chu Lingtian and the brother of Chu Wanling and her three sisters, right?"
"He knew clearly that he was weak, but he didn't even send a follower. How could he be regarded as a relative?"
"Although I don't agree with the marriage, he is still my fiancé in name. How could the Chu family treat him like this!"
Speaking of this, Nangong Shi clenched his fists, and an unspeakable anger and guilt emerged in his heart.
Of course, there was a misunderstanding of Chu Li, but more of it was a kind of anger towards the Chu family.
As the saying goes Husband and wife are one body, and this kind of marriage between large families will often change the situation of the other party in the family due to one party's reasons.
From this perspective, where does the Chu family treat Chu Li in this way?
"etc! Could it be that it was because of me that they targeted Chu Li like this?"
The more Nangong Shi thought about it, the more he thought it was possible!
Because Nangong Shi not only refused the marriage, but later joined the Nangong family's hard-line stance against the Chu family, and openly opposed the Chu family many times.
Then his fiancé was in the Chu family. How could the family get any good looks?
In addition, the Chu family had already excluded Chu Li, so everything seemed reasonable.
Now that the weak Chu Li was thrown in front of her, maybe it was the Chu family who was deliberately demonstrating against her. Let her see the miserable state of her suppressed fiancé!
Otherwise, how could anyone in the world treat his own people like this?
Thinking of this, Nangong Shi was furious, and at the same time, he felt more and more guilty for Chu Li.
At this moment, a voice came from the bed..Chu
Li woke up.
